Sango marched to the well, "I've had it Miroku! I want them to return!" She glared down the well, hopeing her intense stare would somehow bring them back.
Miroku sighed and followed close behind her, "I know Sango, I want them to return too, but we can't do anything about it." He eyed her, "Wait a minute, why do you want them to come back so fast when you have me and Shippo (who was playing with Kirara)?"
"'Cuz Kagome is like a sister to me and I feel like she's in trouble. I have nothing against you or Shippo, I enjoy you both...when your not a perv." She finally dropped her glare.
"So you like being around me?" Miroku asked, no, more pleaded with hope.
"Yea...I do." She looked up to see him watching her closely.
"You already know how I feel." He stepped toward her shyly (for the first time...he felt shy around a girl)
She blushed, "How 'bout you remind me?"
He brushed a strand of hair out of her surprised face, "I feel...( his face was now inches from her trembling lips)...I feel..." Her eye's widened and she slapped him hard.
"How many times to I have to tell you to keep your hands off my butt!!!"
~~~
Kagome rolled out of bed, got a quick shower and put on jeans and a old shirt, and ran outside to meet Inu-yasha and grandpa.
Inu-yasha rolled his eyes when he saw her hurrying over, "'Bout time you decided to show!"
"Sorry, my alarm clock never went off." She mumbled, still sleepy.
"Today we're gonna try and dig all the debris out of the well, then we'll start looking for the stones that got knocked outta place." Grandpa instructed.
"Why do we need to find old stones? It's a waste of time, let's just clear out the well." Inu-yasha jumped down into the well, disappearing into darkness.
"'Cuz Inu-yasha, every stone contains magic, if we don't replace EVERY stone, then you can kiss the past goodbye." Grandpa bent down to get a better look down the well, it was useless, the well was to deep and dark.
Inu-yasha was quiet for a few seconds before mumbling somthing and flying back up to the surface.
Kagome sensed his fear, even though he'd rather die then admitt that he was scared, she knew he was. "Inu-yasha...are you ok?"
"I'M FINE!!!" He kicked a pebble and glanced at the well. Poor guy...
Grandpa walked inside, "Get started children."
"What!! What about you old man?!?! Why arent you helping us?!?!" Inu-yasha yelled in disbelief.
"Hello? I am 80 something I need a nap once in awhile." He closed the door.
"You just woke up!!!" Inu-yasha protested, but he was already inside, "Stupid old geezer!"
"Inu-yasha!" Kagome shot him a angry glance before getting down on her hands and knees and crawling around like a dog.
After a few seconds of watching her do this Inu-yasha snapped, "What are you doing?"
Her eyebrow twitched slightly and she peered up at him,. "Why Inu-yasha, I was just smelling the pretty grass...WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING!?!? I'm looking for stones that crumbled off the well!!"
He was a little taken back by her outburst but recovered quickly, "You don't need to bite my head off!!! Man, I was just asking!!!"
She continued crawling around, spreading all the dirt outand picking stones that matched the well. He leaped down the well and began throwing huge dirt balls out from were he was clearing the bottom of the muddy well out. They remained silent, each thinking what a jerk/wench the other one was. He's sucha jerk! All I've been is nice to him and he always finds someway to offend me!!!
What a wench!!! What was I supposed to think seeing her crawl around like that?!?! How was I supposed to know?!?! He cursed under his breath while thinking about her.
A hour slowly went by, and they both were still ignoring eachother, but they couldn't ignore the sun. Dang it's hot, Kagome wiped dirty sweat off her forehead. I'm getting a drink. Inu-yasha heard her get up, "Where you going wench?"
"I'm getting a drink." She opened the door, a rush of icy air kissed her face. Whoever created air-conditioning was a genious, "You want drink?"
"Feh!" She heard echo from the well.
She sighed and stalked to the kitchen. Why does he have to be like this?
Why do I have to be like this? He leaned against the well's side. Why can't I just...I dunno..act diffrent? I bet if I was nicer Kikyou would want me...no she probably wouldn't, I killed her, she only wants me to go to hell with her.Death would be better then sitting here fixing this stupid well with the chance that i'll never get home, AND to top it all off, Kagome's mad at me. Kagome...how do I really feel about her? I'm so confused...there's so many feelings. I can't say I love her...that's sucha strong word...love. Do I love Kikyou? Yea, I do...but Kagome?(thinks about her face, her voice, her smell, her stare...) I dunno, do I? I few weeks ago I would've said no right off the bat, but lately, now that I'm just surrounded by her, it only her that I want.... He leaped out of the well and walked inside. He heard her in the kitchen pouring water into a cup. He peered in at her quietly, she's so beautiful. He slowly walked in.
"So you decided to join me?" She opened the oak cabinet next to her and handed him a cup, theirhands brushing eachother as he took the cup.
"Thanks." He mumbled, pouring water into the small cup.
"No prob."She put her cup in the sink and sat down, "Man, it's hot out there, and it's september!"
"Yea, it is hot."He chugged the water down and placed his cup in the sink.
She studied his clothes, they were filthy and sweaty."Hey Inu-yasha, how 'bout we get you some clothes today...you stand out with those clothes and the last thing we need is attention."
He shrugged, "I don't care."
~~~
The mall was huge!! People were everywhere!! The 'mall' as Kagome said, was the weirdest thing he ever saw. Magic stairs moved up and down all by themselves! He liked riding them up, though he didn't tell Kagome that.
Thankgoodness my friends are still in school! I never would've got out if they were here! As she was thinking that Inu-yasha's favorite person ran up to her, "Kagome!!"
She turned to see Hojo racing to her, Oh great!
Inu-yasha growled and stepped infront of her.
"Hi Hojo, what are you doing here?" She looked around, any close fire exits?
"I was sick today and mom had to go out,so I was forced to come, but it looks like fate had a plan for me."He grinned his famous 'let's go out' grin. His eyes traveled to Inu-yasha and a slight prick of jealousy creeped into his voice, "What's he doing here?"
"None of your business punk."Inu-yasha growled.
"Are you two on a date?" Hojo studdered.
"N..."Kagome was cut off.
"Yes! Now get lost!"Inu-yasha yelled.
Kagome stared at him in disbelief, a loss of words.
"Oh...well...ok then."Hojo stalked off, brokenhearted
"Wh-what did you say?" Kagome thought mabey she misheard him or somthing.
"I said we were on a date..."He glanced at her blushing face, "I JUST SAID IT SO HE'D BACK OFF!!"
"Oh...ok." She was still smiling, she was fighting her smile with all her might, but it wasn't going away.
