Time for a change part 14
Argh. I couldn't take the guilt of not posting. R&R
This'll be short as my imagination is sorely taxed.
I don't own Inuyasha. Woopty doo.
Inuyasha sat on his futon feeling guilty. 'She got so happy when I said I would take her shopping. Why did the
one thing that makes her so happy be such a torture for me?' He thought to himself. 'Her mom said she can't use
my money. So it doesn't matter either way.' He tried to tell his guilty side. Of course like that ever works.
Inuyasha sighed. 'If she doesn't KNOW its your money, and you don't tell her mother that its yours she could go
shopping and be happy.' the blasted voice insisted. Inuyasha gave up fighting the guilt. 'Fine! But not too much
money. I don't want to be there for five hours again.'
Inuyasha got up quietly making sure he didn't wake up Sota. The hanyou took $50 from the sheeth of Tetsusuigia, and
snuck out of Sota's room. Inuyasha leapt up the stairs and landed silently on top. Crawling on all fours Inuyasha
made his way to Kagome's room. The door was slightly ajar. Inuyasha pushed the door open and crawled inside. Once he
was in the center of the room Inuyasha stood up. He gazed at the sleeping Kagome, relizing it had been weeks since
he had last gotten to watch her sleep. Inuyasha turned his gaze from Kagome and searched for a place to put his
$50. His gaze landed on the pig-eating bank on the desk he had seen Kagome put loose change in.
Deciding that was as good of a place he'd find Inuyasha walked quietly over to Kagome's desk, and placed the bills
in the slot on top. With a last glance at Kagome, Inuyasha returned to Sota's room his conscience finally silent.
****************************************************************************************************************
Kagome was laying on her bed reading a book the next moring when Inuyasha entered her room. Kagome was still
a little angry with him for last night so she didn't acnowledge his presence. Inuyasha huffed and walked over
to her desk. "When are you going shopping?" he asked. "I can't since I can't use your money. I don't have any
saved up." she grumbled thinking the hanyou was just rubbing it it. "What about whats in your pig-eating bank?"
Inuyasha asked picking it up and walking over to Kagome's bed. "Theres not any money in there." she said.
Inuyasha didn't seem to believe her and attempted to get the bank open. When he was about to smash it on her
desk Kagome intervened. "Hey don't break it!" she shouted grabbing it from Inuyasha's hands.
"You do it like this." Kagome demonstrated twisting the kneck of the pig so it popped off. "See theres no money
in.." Kagome looked down at the bank."Oh wow!" she cried pulling out the $50. "When did I put this in there?"
she wondered out lound, but decided that you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha
with a big smile on her face. The hanyou didn't seem all that upset that she now was going to take him shopping
again. "Lets go!" She shouted grabbing Inuyasha. He was in his kimono, but she didn't care. She ran down stairs
with Inuyasha in tow and grabbed him a hat before starting to head out the door.
"Wait a minute Kagome. Where are you going?" asked Mrs. H suspiciously as she suddenly appeared near the entrace
of the kitchen. "Shopping!" Kagome cried happily. Mrs. H raised a brow and looked at Kagome with suspicion. "With
your money?" she asked. Kagome nodded. "I found some money I didn't even know about in my piggy bank." Mrs. Higurashi
shifted her gaze to Inuyasha who shifted uncomfortably. She smiled at Inuyasha knowingly. "All right you two. Have
fun."
Mrs. Higurashi watched the two of them disapear out the door. 'I wonder if Kagome wants her own wedding dress or if
she'll use mine?'
*********************************************************************************************************************
Inuyasha sighed. Somehow he had managed to convince himself for the past two hours that as long as Kagome was happy
it was worth it, but he was beginning to have doubts. 'I've seen how much those clothes cost. How could it take her
two hours to spend $50?' he wondered. "Ok thats it." Kagome said walking out of the dressing booth in her normal
clothes. "Lets pay and get out of here." Inuyasha nodded glad it was over. Kagome paid for her new clothing and
headed out of the shop with Inuyasha right beside her.
"Thank you Inuyasha." Inuyasha snorted. "I didn't have a choice if I wanted to come so how can you thank me?"
Kagome shifted her bag to her other hand. "Thats not what I ment." Inuyasha looked at her. "What did you mean
then?" Kagome slipped her hand into Inuyasha's. "I mean for giving me the money to come shopping." Inuyasha
looked shocked. "You knew!?" He cried getting a few stares from the other people around them.
Kagome smiled and nodded. "You are really sweet when noones looking Inuyasha." she said. "Feh."
*********************************************************************************************************************
Inuyasha were sitting in the living room watching television an hour later when Sota walked into the room. "Hey
Inuyasha. When are you going to challenge grandpa?" Kagome blushed red. "Sota! Don't you dare tell him!" Kagome
cried. She jumped up and started to chase Sota out of the room. Inuyasha simply sat there confused. Kagome tackled
Sota and dragged him to his room. "Promise me you won't tell him." She hissed shaking him. The terrified boy
nodded. "I promise." Kagome let go of Sota and started to walk out of the room. "Are you going to tell him?"
Sota asked. Kagome stopped walking. After a few moments she responded. "Not yet. Someday maybe."
Inuyasha waited for Kagome to return. When she finally came back Inuyasha asked her what Sota had ment. "Am I supposed
to fight the old guy or something?" Kagome blushed and looked away. "He was just talking. Boys do that." she said speaking
very fast. Inuyasha searched her face (that was still blushing), but decided not to press the subject. Inuyasha turned
back to the telvision to watch. Kagome mentally sighed in relief that he was dropping the subject. Kagome rested her head
on Inuyasha's shoulder and watched the television with him.
***********************************************************************************************************************
Kagome looked up at the clock. 9:00. "Time to go to bed." Kagome informed Inuyasha. "Why?" Kagome got up from
her spot on the bed where she had been reading. Inuyasha how had been sitting on the floor thinking didn't move.
"Becuase tommorow is your first day of school and we need to get there early. Inuyasha got up from his spot on the floor.
"Oi Kagome. What did Sota mean when he asked me when I would challenge your grandpa?" Kagome blushed a little and looked
away from his gaze. "I told you he was just talking. Little boys do that." Inuyasha folded his arms and stared. Kagome
could feel her resolve cracking. "Inuyasha I promise I'll tell you someday. Just not today. No get out of my room so I
can go to bed." Without any further argument Kagome pushed Inuyasha out of her room and shut the door. 'Please don't
ask anyone else.' She prayed silently.
The end of this filler chapter. I was actually planning to keep the 'Challenge' for another story, but I decided that
I probably won't ever write that story anyway. Please Review. Comments death threats, suggestions, fic requests, etc are
all welcome.
WooH over a hundred reviews. Time for a celebration!
