Kagome's Strange Era

Ch. 6

While Kagome was finishing her homework and cleaning the house, Inuyasha squirmed around in his ropes, trying to get out. It took him a while, but by 10:00 PM, he was free.

He didn't hear any noise from Kagome's room except deep, slow breathing, so he knew he was probably safe as long as he didn't wake her up.

Inuyasha crept down the stairs and then out the door. He knew exactly where he was going.

Inuyasha knocked on the door, and Ryoko answered.

"Oh, hi Inuyasha! I was just thinking about you," Ryoko said, clearly delighted that he was there. Of Kagome's friends, she had been the main one trying to get closer to Inuyasha. "So what brings you here?"

"Well, um I was just wondering, um…"

"Yes?"

"Do you have any coffee?"

Disappointed, Ryoko frowned, but said, "Yeah, I just bought some this morning. Come on in."

Dun, dun, dun!

________________________________________________________________________Inuyasha finished all the coffee Ryoko had, then left. He wandered around, trying to figure out where to go next. He didn't want to go back to Kagome's house, because she would just tie him up again. Then Inuyasha had an idea. He could go beat up Hobo!

The day after Inuyasha had punched Hobo, he (Inuyasha, not Hobo) and Kagome had been walking. He saw Hobo in front of a house/pharmacy. When he saw Inuyasha, he ran inside. Inuyasha remembered exactly where that was.

When he got there, he didn't bother to knock. He just opened the door, which just happened to be unlocked. There wasn't anyone in the room, but the glowing box was on. Suddenly, everything went black. When Inuyasha woke up, he couldn't move. He could see Hobo standing in front of him, talking on the phone.

"Hi Kagome, this is Hojo. I caught your friend Inuyasha sneaking into my house. I have him tied up. Do you think you could come pick him up?" There was a pause, and then Hobo said, "Okay, thanks. Bye."

Inuyasha realized that he couldn't move because he was tied up. Again. "I really wish people would stop doing that!"

________________________________________________________________________

Kagome hung up the phone. Then she started hitting her head against the wall. "What have I done to the world?" ________________________________________________________________________

Hobo turned to Inuyasha and said, "So what were you doing sneaking into my house?"

"I had some business to finish with you from that greasy food place."

"Why did you do that, anyway?"

"Because you were trying to take my Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled, and then closed his mouth. Did I really just say that?" Inuyasha thought. He decided that he had, and mumbled, "I mean, that's not, well, it's just that-" Hobo obviously wasn't buying it, so Inuyasha yelled, "I like her, so just lay off, okay!?

"Well, I like her too…."

"So I noticed."

"But then she doesn't seem to like me as much as she likes you. So I'll just focus my attention on someone else who actually likes me. Like Ryoko, for instance. I think I'll go over to her house tomorrow and have coffee."

"Um, maybe you should try for tea. She's out of coffee."

"Alright, tea it is then. So are we friends?"

"Yeah. Friends."

Although Hojo trusted Inuyasha, he still didn't untie him. After all, he was still heavily under the influence of coffee.

Suddenly, Kagome came bursting through the door. "Okay, Inuyasha. I warned you," she said. "SIT!" Inuyasha fell to the ground. While he was still there, Kagome noticed that Hojo didn't seem hurt or even worried. "Oops."

So they all waited there for the night. Inuyasha was still tied up, but he was in the guest room. Hojo was in his room, and Kagome was in Hojo's parents' room, who were away for the weekend.

________________________________________________________________________

The next morning Inuyasha was a lot calmer, so Kagome decided to take him home. After saying goodbye to Hojo, they left.

"I'll never drink coffee again!" Inuyasha promised.

"Well I'm glad," said Kagome.

Kagome opened the door to the closet to put up her coat. Sota was sitting in the back of the closet. He was tied up and gagged. Kagome sighed and untied him. I was wondering what Inuyasha did with him.
