Time for a change part 38
Hello again people. Sorry its been so long. Fanfiction.net was down and we are still moving into our house. Also the moving
men are coming with our stuff Monday so don't expect a chapter soon. Sorry :(.
I don't own Inuyasha. But I do own a ton of secondary characters in my story.
After Sota returned, Grandpa led Inuyasha outside of the house. There was a small fold-up table and two chairs in the middle
of the shrine.Inuyasha watched dumbfounded as the old geezer drew a large circle on the tiles around the small table and the
two chairs. 'What the heck are the chairs and table for? To hit eachother with?' he wondered. Once he had finished drawing the
circle, grandpa sat down in one of the chairs and motioned for Inuyasha to do the same. Inuyasha obeyed and sat down. "Now,
I'm sure Kagome has already explained the rules to you so we can get on with it." Inuyasha shook his head. "You mean she
didn't?" the old man asked. Inuyasha just keh'd.
'What kind of wife is she going to be if she is so forgetful?' Grandpa wondered shaking his head. "All right. The rules are
simple. We will each drink a glass of sake at the same time until one of us is unconscious or unable to drink anymore. To
win you must drink one more glass than the other person. If at anytime you leave the circle you are disqualified. Have you
ever drinken sake before?" Inuyasha shook his head no. Sota, who appeared carrying the bottle and two small glasses leaned
over and whispered. "Watch out Inuyasha, mom told me it took my dad a whole year to beat him, and that was only becuase she
got him drunk right before." Inuyasha smirked. "I'm a half demon, theres no way a human drink will affect me."
Grandpa chuckled. "Lets see if thats true. Sota pour the sake." Sota nodded and set down the two glasses before pouring them
each an equal amount. Grandpa took his glass and drank it down in one gulp. Inuyasha followed suit and had to keep himself from
grimancing after heswallowed it. 'This taste's terrible.' Inuyasha thought, but he refused to show any weakness infront of
Kagome's family. Grandpa motioned for another round and Sota complied. Both of them downed those two.
*About ten minutes later*
Granda set down his glass feeling a bit sick. As much as he tried to hide it, Inuyasha looked a bit haggard as well. 'If he
keeps this up I might lose.' Grandpa thought. As the oldest male in the Higurashi household it was his duty to perform this
challenge. It was a tradition that attempted to keep Higurashi girls from marrying young, as the suiter had to be atleast
twenty-one. It didn't stop Kagome's mother and it looked like it wasn't going to stop Kagome either. 'What is it with the
girls of this family and older men?' Grandpa mused then shook his head to keep himself focused. 'I'd better try something.'
"Inuyasha we're out of sake. Go and get another bottle from inside the house. It's in the Cupboard next to the refridgerator."
Grandpa mumbled. A drunk Inuyasha nodded, got up and started to walk towards the house. He stopped right before the line
of chalk. 'Wait a minute...' Inuyasha thought. There was something important about this chalk line, what was it. Inuyasha
thought back and realized that if he crossed it he would lose. "Nice try old man." Inuyasha muttered as he sat back down.
Sota let out a breath that he had been holding. Grandpa nodded. "It was worth a try. Sota another round."
*Five more minutes later*
Grandpa raised his glass to his mouth. His hand was shaking from all of the alchohol in his blood. Inuyasha swallowed his
glass and Grandpa did the same. Several seconds later Grandpa's eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell out of his
chair where he hit the ground and proceded to snore loudly. "All right Inuyasha! One more glass and you win!" Sota cried exitedly
as he poured the poor hanyou another glass. Inuyasha downed his glass and sighed. "You won! You won!" Sota cheered happily.
'I won.' Inuyasha thought. 'What did I do this for anyway?' he wondered in his semi-conscious state. "Oi, Sota. What do I
win?" he asked as he got unsteadily to his feet.
Sota grinned a huge grin. "You get to be my big brother now!" He said happily. Inuyasha blinked. "You mean I did all of that
so I could be your brother!" he cried. Sota looked a little hurt. "You mean you don't want to marry my sister?" he asked.
Inuyasha blinked again. "Oh I get to do that too?" Inuyasha grinned a dopey drunken grin. "I guess its ok then." he said not
seeing the connection, but hey he's wasted give him a break.

(This is happening a bit before the challenge starts)
Kagome sighed as she picked at her lunch. 'I hope Inuyasha is alright.' She thought. Yuna looked at her concerned. "Hey Kagome
are you feeling ok? You don't look very good." she said as she watched Kagome from across the table. Eri gasped. "Oh no! You're
not getting sick again are you Kagome? You've been so much healthier recently." Kagome smiled, a little touched by her
friends concern. "I'm all right guys. I'm just not feeling all that well right now." Ayumi looked over at Kagome. "Why don't
you go home then. Besides I bet Inuyasha would like some company right now."
Kagome picked at her food some more. That sounded like a very good idea at the moment. After all, even though Toshio wasn't
here to pester her, his flunkies were and the subsitute gym teacher. Also Kagome wasn't all that sure Inuyasha had gone home.
He might have gone hunting for Toshio. 'I'd better go see if he's all right.' Kagome thought. 'He looked pretty angry at Mr.
Shanky that big jerk.' "I think your right Ayumi. I'll go home."
***************************************************************************************************************************
Kagome shifted her bag into a more comfortable position as she walked down the hall. "Kagome!" a voice called from behind her.
Kagome turned around to see Mrs. Kamanagi coming towards her carrying something. "Oh hello Mrs. Kamanagi." Kagome said. Mrs.
Kamanagi gave her a warm smile. "I'm glad I caught you. I have some bad news I'm afraid. Since Inuyasha is suspended I can't
enter him in the contest. I thought he might want this back." she said handing Kagome the painting. Kagome nodded. "Thank
you Mrs Kamanagi. I'll give it to him."
***************************************************************************************************************************
Kagome walked up the last steps of the shrine as she admired the picture. 'Shippo couldn't find a better teacher than Inuyasha.'
Kagome thought as she started towards the house. She heard Sota chattering excitedly. 'What's he doing up? I thought he was
sick.' Kagome wondered as she raised her gaze. It didn't take much effort to see what had happened. Sake bottles, glasses, and
an old man sleeping on the ground. Kagome broke into to a run towards Sota and Inuyasha who were standing near grandpa.
"Inuyasha!" she called. Sota gulped and ran towards the house. Inuyasha turned unsteadily to meet her as Kagome set down her
bag and the painting and came towards him. "Are you all right?" she asked.
Inuyasha was still grinning drunkenly. "I won." he said matter of factly as he drew her closer. "That means your my mate."
Kagome blushed. "I-It doesn't mean I'm married to you Inuyasha. It means you're allowed to ask." she stammered. Inuyasha
nodded and looked at her, his eyes focusing and unfocusing. "Will you be my mate?" he asked. Kagome felt butterflies in her
stomach and she lost her voice. 'He's drunk and doesn't know what he's talking about.' a voice told her. Kagome cursed that
little voice in her head but knew it to be true. 'It was nice while it lasted.' she thought as she found the will to speak.
"Inuyasha you're drunk. Lets get you inside and cleaned up. We'll talk about this when you've sobered up." she said as she
started to lead the hanyou towards the house. Inuyasha refused to budge and turned her around. "I'm not drunk." he said firmly.
And indeed he didn't look drunk anymore. His eyes had stopped unfocusing, and he was radiating a kind of determination around
him. If it wasn't for the huge number of bottles and the unconscious old man on the floor Kagome would have never guessed it.
'What could it hurt?' she asked herself as her face grew ever redder. Kagome opened her mouth to answer. "Inuyasha, I'll-"
Thats as far as she got, becuase at that moment Inuyasha dropped to the ground unconscious from all of the alchohol he had
consumed. It was a good thing that Mrs. Higurashi and Sota exited the house right then becuase it took both of them to keep
Kagome from beating the uncounscious boy with a chair.
Thats that. I've had this planned since chapter 5 or so and it feels good finally getting it out. Please review.
