Title: Dark Chocolate
Chapter 3: Hanyous and Freaks
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(A/N Warning: Puns Ahead, Extream Caution Urged)
Inuyasha was an hour late.
Gramps was NOT happy.
Buyo attack Inuyasha when he walked through the door in a hissing rage.(I had nothing to do with it, I swear!)
Life had gotten entertaining, for the time being, anyways.
~~~
Gramps got him started on the house, you know, it was still caked in his egg crap. Looks to me like he will have to touch up the house with paint too. Egg can be really damaging stuff. This morning when he came (after Buyo attacked him), mom offered him some breakfast. He agreed and ate with our family before work. The dialoge played out something like this:
Mom: "Oh, Inuyasha, wont you join us for breakfast before you go to work?"
Inuyasha:"Uh... Sure, I guess... Thanks."
Gramps:"What the heck? You're feeding the that, that Juvinile Delingquent *our* food???"
Mom:"Well, who *pays* for the food? Hmmm?"
Gramps: *mumbles as he sulks away*"No one respects the elderly anymore, how sad..."
Sota:"You the guy that egged our house?"
Inuyasha:"...Umm... Yeah..."
Sota:".........THATS SO COOL!"
Mom:"Sota!"
Sota:"whatever"
Mom:"Sota, call your sister down for breakfast"
Sota:"Fine."
Sota:"Kagome! Get your sorry a-erh-butt down here right now! Its time for breakfast!!!"
Charming family I have, huh? Mom seems to be the only semi-sane one there... Except for the fact that she offered breakfast to the guy that egged our house. Can you imagine? Someone egging the house of shrine owners? Its simply appauling. Or at least that is what I heard Gramps saying on the phone... I swear, he called up all his little friends and said the exact same thing each time! Its like he is gloating about it or something!
When I came down stairs I was completely taken off gaurd. I had known Inuyasha was going to be there, and he was, but instead of having his normal dark hair and lavender eyes... His hair was silver, accented by two dog ears on either side of his head, and his eyes were amber. Well, my suspicions were confirmed. The guy is a demon, or half one at least.
My family turned and went into the kitchen, Inuyasha looked over at me, seeing what, I am guessing, can only be described as a quite flabergausted expresion on my face and said,"Oi, wentch, whats with you?"
"N-nothing," I say as I hurry into the kitchen, where I see Mom has made quite a nice spread of delicious looking food.
"Oh, Kagome sweet heart!" Mom said, seeing me walk into the kitchen,"Good morning, did you sleep well?"
I nod my head 'yes' and silently take my seat.
~~~Inuyasha's POV (who honestly didn't see this coming? I am such a predictable person, aren't I?)~~~
(rewind to this morning at Inu's house when he first woke up)
I yawned and looked over at my clock, which read 6:45... I was about to just go back to sleep when it hit me... Wasn't I supposed to be somewhere this morning? Damn it! The Higurashi Shrine! At this rate, there was no way in hell I was going to be there by 7... I thought I had set my alarm!!!
While I was rushing to get ready, you know, brushing my teeth and crap, Sesshomaru comes in and says,"Oh, so you *did* have your alarm set for a reason!"
"Whats that supposed to mean?" I spat.
"Well, I heard it go off, and well, seeing as you are such a heavy sleeper, I figured you weren't going to turn it off anytime soon, so I took the liberty of doing it for you, but even then I couldn't get back to sleep." He Oh-so-gallently explained.
"And it didn't even occur to you to *wake me up*?" I really don't think he is as smart as he makes everyone believe.
"Its not my fault that you, a pathetic half demon, can't hear that well!" He spat at me... God he loved to rub that in my face.
"Hell! I had it on the lowest level so it *wouldn't* wake you up!" Realizing what I just said and did, I said,"Damn, what the hell was I thinking? Heh, doing something out of curtisy for you? I must be going insane!"
By the time I rushed out the door it was already 7:45, that Kagome girls Grampa was going to be pissed that I am an hour late... Ah but he's just an old man! What could he possibly do?
Ms.Higurashi seems nice enough, she invited me to breakfast, I am guessing it was as an apology for their insane cat, whom, by the way, is the biggest, fattest, monstrosity of a cat I have ever seen, attacking me...If I wasn't a hanyou, I could have probably been seriously hurt...And the kid whom I assume is named Sota, he seems quite taken with the fact that I am a "Vandal"... I think he is trying to form a bad-boy genre to himself... And well, Grampa seemed perfectly pissed, which is just as I expected.
Then Kagome showed up. The way she looked at me made me think that I had forgotten to put on my apperance charm... But then its like, wouldn't her family notice? That chick has serious problems if you ask me...
(After breakfast)
Throughout breakfast I don't think Kagome had said three words. I wonder if she is always this way, or if it is just because of me being here. Ah well, who cares about what the little wentch anyways? Her family doesn't look too conserend.
Anyways... Gramps walked me outside...
"The ladders are in the shed over here, the hose is on the other side of the house... Here are some scrubbing brushes and sponges. Get to work. I will call you when you can take a break." The old man was really strict. Before I could respond, he shoved a sponge and a brush at me before turning around to go inside.
I survade the situation, and got to work, hoping that I wouldn't have to see the cat again...
~~~Kagome's POV~~~
I left my window open out of habit. I didn't even think to close it when he started to clean the house. Yeah, I am more than a little absent minded sometimes.
"Oi! Stupid wentch!" I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard his voice and immediatly closed my writing book."You should close your window!" I guess my jumpyness made him interested in what I was writing because he climed off the ladder and into my room. "Whatcha writen?" He asked cockily as he walked over and tried to snap the book from my desk, but I grabbed it away before he could get it.
"Get the hell out of my room." It must have sounded odd seeing as my voice was so quiet and timid sounding, not that I could really help it, I don't talk much.
"Oh aren't you the scary one," He said in a taunting voice. Getting pissed off, I suddenly found my voice.
"Listen, I told you to GET THE HELL OUT!" I yelled. I liked the feeling of yelling. I hadn't done it for a while.
"Geez ok, ok!" He backed away and got on the ladder, which uncerimoniously leaned off the house upon him getting all the way back on it. It fell against the tree which was ajasent to my window. Inuyasha eventually landed on the ground.
"Oh God!" I said,"Are you ok?" Looking at him getting up I whispered to myself,"Oh, of course you are, you're a Hanyou after all." He heard me. Before I knew it, the ladder was back against my house and he was once again in my room. Next thing I knew, I was cornered by an angry looking Inu.
"What the hell did you say?" He asked me with a ferious look on his face. Crap, if he figures out that I know... Well, it'll only be a matter of time before he... I don't even want to think about it.
"N-nothing?" I practically asked him if that answer would work, but, of course, it wouldn't.
"I *heard* you say something, wentch, so spit it out!" His jaw was clentched with anger.
"Fine, all right? Fine!" I spit at him,"I know! I know you're a hanyou! Happy now?"
At first, he looked honestly scared, but then his look of fear turned into a smirk,"You think that *I* am a hanyou? You're crazy! There aren't any demons!"
"I can see through you're charm," I inform him timidly,"You're lying right now. And from the looks of it, you are a dog demon, or hanyou." I reached for his ears. "See? Your ears are right here." He flinched under my touch... Hate to say it, but I kinda like his ears.
The look on his face was that of pure horror..."H-h-how d-do you, I mean, h-how can you see?" He asked frantically.
"I-I-I uh," Oh yes, what a smooth responce from a miko!
"Fuck!" He yelled frantically. Yeah, yay me, no body can scare people like *I* can.
He stared at me for a moment, I studied the fuzzy, peach colored carpet that we were both standing on. Neither of us said anything. He turned to leave out my window again, but before he got on the ladder he said in a harsh voice,"You'd better not tell anyone about this...you little *freak*" The way he said "freak" made my skin crawl.
"Don't worry, I wont." I say sollomly as I shut the window so he could clean it. His punishment wasn't as entertaining as I thought it was going to be. I left my room to go watch tv down stairs. I didn't need *him* watching me.
~~~Inuyasha's POV~~~
She left her room. I should get back at her, its only a matter of time before she spills and I am run out of school. Damn her. Her window is unlocked... Maybe I could see what she was writing about...
I opened her window (A/N pretend windows can open from the outside...) and climbed in. Her book was just laying there for the world to see. Its probably a stupid diary.
I opened it up... This was no diary... It was full of angsty poems... Geez, she writes good for a freak.
"What are you doing?" I slam the book shut and put it back on her desk. What was she doing back here? But more importantly, why can't I seem to sense her coming? This isn't the first time, I mean, there was the incident in the hall at school, the night I egged her house... And now.
"Nothing," was my well thought out responce.
She walked over to the desk as I backed away, she picked up her poetry book, looked at me then said,"Well, I see you went through it, so tell me? Ya gonna use it for blackmail? You going to show it to everyone and make fun of me? I am a big girl, Inuyasha, you're not going to break me." I can smell tears, she is obviously fighting them back. Why would she say such things? When did *I* say I would do that?
"Ha," she laughed half-heartedly, with the tears she had tried so hard to fight back slowly begining to stream down her face,"Isn't *this* what you wanted? You and Kikyo? Huh? Didn't she say she *wanted* me to cry like the baby I am? Huh? *Didn't* she?"
Crap, so *thats* where she got it.
"Stop it, all right? I hate it when girls cry!" I can just see the anger storming in here eyes, making what would normally be crystal blue, dark and cloudy... Great, now *I* am getting poetic. "And besides, its not *my* fault you were frickin spying on us!" Good come back, Inuyasha, you really showed her for listening in on the conversation you had with Kikyo about her.
"You know what? Stuff it! I don't even know why the fuck I'm crying! You are just a big ass, you know that? A big ass..."
As I turn to leave I said,"For what its worth, your writing's pretty good." At least I said something that I could sort-of-semi-kinda-a-little-bit redeem myself with for being Ass of the Year.
~~~Kagome's POV (once again)~~~
After he shut the window, I through the closest thing to me, which just happened to be a random chapter book, as hard as I could at the window. I can't believe him! Where the hell does he get the *nerve* to tell me that *I* was spying on him when he was talking about me behind my back. He is an ass hole. Then he goes and says that my "writing's pretty good". I don't know why he gets me so pissed! Ok, I do, but I don't know *why* he does it. Maybe some music will help calm my nerves. Good ol' Linkin Park, how ye has never failed me. At least they won't come and do everything in their power to piss me off.My guess is that he will run off and tell little Kikyo about my poetry book, then there will be some mass operation to steal it and spread it around the whole school, thinking it would make me cry. Well, if that's the way they are going to play, then I shall just have to make myself devoid of all emotion. Yeah, like thats going to happen. Emotion is the whole reason I *wrote* all of that stuff.
"Kagome," Mom is calling from the other side of the door, I wonder if she heard my little tantrum.
"What?" I ask, trying make my voice sound to quivery.
"Its lunch time, do you want to come and eat?" She asks.
"No thanks, I'm not hungry,"Translation: I don't want to see Inuyasha.
"Ok, you just come down if you get hungry, all right? I'll save some food for you if you do." I hear her walking down the hall to the stairs. I relax.
I started to fall asleep until I was jerked awake by the sudden sound of Buyo scratching to get into my room. I guess I could use the company, so I let him in. After all, he *did* lung at Inuyasha with a fury unlike any I have seen before. He deserves to be treated well. I wonder if he knows that Inuyasha is a dog Hanyou. That might explain his hostility towards him... Its funny because I have taken Buyo to have a rather placid attitude. I picked him up and sat on my bed to look out the window. There on the ground were all the brushes and things where Inuyasha must have abandend them to go and eat lunch. Buyo migrated to my bare feet, where he is now purring contently. I feel a little better knowing that when Inuyasha comes around, I have got Buyo here to give him a run for his money. I don't really understand that phrase, but it works.
~~~Inuyasha's POV... yet again~~~
Ms. Higurashi makes really good food, as I learned from the breakfast this morning. My usual diet contains anything toastable, mircrowaveable, or ramen, and thats about it. Its nice to have real food again. I notice that Kagome isn't here. Ms. Higurashi looks at me and said,"Kagome seems to want to be alone today."
"Oh," I say, knowing that that probably *isn't* the case. Sometimes I am an idiot. I admit it.
I sat down and ate the stir fry she put in front of me. Like I said, her food was good. When I finished eating, I noticed that Grampa had fallen asleep, Salvation! Until...
"Inuyasha?" Ms. Higurashi asked, holding a tray with food on it. "Would you mind terribly much to bring this to Kagome?"
"Uh," Once again, a stunning responce on my part.
"Please? I know she said she wasn't hungry, but I don't really think that thats the case... I don't know, sometimes, sometimes its just so hard to get to that girl" Suddenly, Ms.Higurashi was spilling to me about how Kagome shut everyone out. I sort of feel like I am one of those people who could have made her the way she is, you know, if I had known her before. "You see, she used to be so, so happy, we all were. *Sigh* Oh I just wish she would see that things aren't all bad... I'm sorry, just rambling about my problems...But really Inuyasha, would you please?
"I guess I could..." Honestly, do I really have a choice?
"Oh thank you! And since Granfather is asleep, you could leave after you put the supplies away..."(A/N She is used to calling him that around her kids... My mom calls her mom Grandma)
"Oh really? Thanks!" I am glad to go home... I did a lot of work today. And don't particularly *want* to see how much more I can piss of Kagome.
She shoved the tray at me and said,"Ok, well, tell Kagome that I made her favorite for lunch." Then she brightly walked off.
Great. I am holding the tray. Nothing left to do now but go give it to her. Just great.
"Hey, aren't ya gonna take it? If you don't start moving Gramps'll wake up, and then, well... Lets just say, you will wish you could rip your ears off." Sota informed me. Suddenly, I feel rather self conscious about my ears... Can anyone else in this family see them?
Great.
"Kagome," somehow, my legs have managed to carry me up to her room. There is no answer."Kagome?" I say a little louder.
"What do you want?" An annoyed sounding Kagome answered. She seems happy.
"I just brought up a tray of food for ya," I tell her.
"Oh how sweet, I didn't know you cared." Her voice was dripping with sarcasum.
"Feh! Yeah right! Your mom asked me to," Great comeback on my part. Oh yeah, real great.
"I sort of figured that..." I was begining to get annoyed about having to talk through the door....
"Whatever, are you going to eat, or not?" Annoyed, annoyed, annoyed. To semi- quote my mom's old car..."The door... is annoying, the door... is annoying." No, I didn't say that out loud.
"What do you think?" Ok, now *she* is pissing me off.
"Thats it!" I say as I set down the tray and ram the door open, much to her suprise, I am sure.
"What the *hell* are you doing?" She screamed at me. I don't know why, but I was a little taken aback... This has been *such* a wonderful day.
"Listen, you're pissing me off, just eat your damn food and lets get on with our lives!" I pick up the tray and shove it at her.
"Why should I?" She asked, holding her tray like its a tray full of crap. I know, not the best comparison... I am not clever in the wording department.
"Your mom said she made your favorite... At least you have someone bothering to do *something* nice for you, so stop fucking wallowing in your stupid self pity and eat the damn food!" I guess something I said must have trigged her, she just stared at me. It was strange.
"Can you just go?" her voice was freakishly calm after the our little bout. She was now clutching the tray like it was... well, more important than crap...Hey! I'm not the poet here, she is.
"Feh, whatever... Just don't spaz out again, ok? It's freaky." Once again, Mr. Wonderful says the perfect thing...
"GET OUT!" Well, the good news is, when she slammed the door on me, there wasn't the sound of anything hitting wood... Meaning she didn't throw anything like she did when I went out the window... Bad news is... She is not going to be happy tomorrow... But hey, why should I care... Oh yeah, I egged her house... But still, I am only here because of Kikyo...
Hey! Thats right! All *this* is Kikyo's fault. Why me? Why them? If I had a wall in near proximity, my head would definatly be hitting it. God, this isn't even the first time Kikyo has gotten me into something like this, and yet, here I am, serving her like a dog. (A/N You saw the warning at the begining of the chapter, didn't you?) And each time I ask my self why I put up with it. Well, I guess the answer is that she, she seems to care, I mean, sure, she is a *little* selfcentered at times, but hey, who isn't? And then, I don't know, I just feel like I am *supposed* to be with her.
______________________________________________
Ok... I would have put this chapter out sooner, but I am just going to assume you want a *decind* story... Yeah, I went through it a second time and altered it a bit... Heh, heh, lets just say I rushed through the plot a bit the first try.
I hope that you liked this chapter, its rather long... I think. Anyways... I hope this chapter was a bit better than, well, others I guess... Yup... I am running out of things to say... Can ya tell?
Ok... I shall be going now...
See ya all later (Tootles ^_^)
Well, if I were a Prickish Bitch, I would have kept to that little request-o-mine. But I realized that I write for fun, and NOT for reviews... I have desided that if you people don't wish to review, it is not going to bother me...Much.Yup... SO, since I didn't get that many reviews, I think I will just respond to them here... (By the way... Thanks SOOO MUCH for those of you that did review! I *DO* appericiate them a lot!!!)
hoshi-ko88- I am writing now... Glad you are enjoying my work! It is dedicated peoples like you that make writing all the more fun!
godlet2b- Yes, I realize that I over did the whole review thing... Thanks for pointing that out to me... No, I didn't want flames exactly, I ment more along the lines of constructive critisism, ya get it? And no, your review didn't anger me! It was constructive critisism! Which is good! I will try to make this chapter longer for ya! Thanks for adding me on to your favorite stories list!!! Oh yeah... One more thing... This fic is slightly more on the AUish side... And yeah... I realize (now anyways) that it was a bit on the OOC side... I will try to take care of that and put the story on a slightly more serious level... (Thanks for the reveiws again)
Chibi Horsewoman- I honestly don't know where I got Demon Helicopters... A moment of insanity brought them to me, I believe... OH and about the whole "32 days that Inu will be at the shrine" thing... He isn't going EVERYDAY... Just weekends... I mentioned that in the last chapter, I am sure you just overlooked it... just wanted to clear that up for ya! (Ha, see? I am not *that* big of an idio! Go me! LOL)
hanyougal29- Glad you like the fic... And I suppose you shall just have to wait and see if it is an inu/kag fic
Dunbarbalooie2- Yay! You are reading another one of my fics!!! WhooHoo! My fic has a certain appeal, huh? Well thats good! And as you can see, I have given up on the whole review thing... So... I hope ya like this chapter too!
billabob- Wow! My story is one of the best 3 you have ever read? I feel honored! Assuming that you have read more than 3 fics, that is...LOL... And don't worry, I will keep writing.
Disclaimer... Sadly, I don't own Inu... And the Demon Helicopter wont leave me alone...*sigh* Lucky me.

Sota:"You the guy that egged our house?"
Inuyasha:"...Umm... Yeah..."
Sota:".........THATS SO COOL!"
Mom:"Sota!"
Sota:"whatever"
Mom:"Sota, call your sister down for breakfast"
Sota:"Fine."
Sota:"Kagome! Get your sorry a-erh-butt down here right now! Its time for breakfast!!!"
Charming family I have, huh? Mom seems to be the only semi-sane one there... Except for the fact that she offered breakfast to the guy that egged our house. Can you imagine?

"Oh, Kagome sweet heart!" Mom said, seeing me walk into the kitchen,"Good morning, did you sleep well?"
I nod my head 'yes' and silently take my seat.
~~~Inuyasha's POV (who honestly didn't see this coming? I am such a predictable person, aren't I?)~~~
(rewind to this morning at Inu's house when he first woke up)
I yawned and looked over at my clock, which read 6:45... I was about to just go back to sleep when it hit me... Wasn't I supposed to be somewhere this morning? Damn it! The Higurashi Shrine! At this rate, there was no way in hell I was going to be there by 7... I thought I had set my alarm!!!
While I was rushing to get ready, you know, brushing my teeth and crap, Sesshomaru comes in and says,"Oh, so you *did* have your alarm set for a reason!"
"Whats that supposed to mean?" I spat.
"Well, I heard it go off, and well, seeing as you are such a heavy sleeper, I figured you weren't going to turn it off anytime soon, so I took the liberty of doing it for you, but even then I couldn't get back to sleep." He Oh-so-gallently explained.
"And it didn't even occur to you to *wake me up*?" I really don't think he is as smart as he makes everyone believe.
"Its not my fault that you, a pathetic half demon, can't hear that well!" He spat at me... God he loved to rub that in my face.
"Hell! I had it on the lowest level so it *wouldn't* wake you up!" Realizing what I just said and did, I said,"Damn, what the hell was I thinking? Heh, doing something out of curtisy for you? I must be going insane!"
By the time I rushed out the door it was already 7:45, that Kagome girls Grampa was going to be pissed that I am an hour late... Ah but he's just an old man! What could he possibly do?
Ms.Higurashi seems nice enough, she invited me to breakfast, I am guessing it was as an apology for their insane cat, whom, by the way, is the biggest, fattest, monstrosity of a cat I have ever seen, attacking me...If I wasn't a hanyou, I could have probably been seriously hurt...And the kid whom I assume is named Sota, he seems quite taken with the fact that I am a "Vandal"... I think he is trying to form a bad-boy genre to himself... And well, Grampa seemed perfectly pissed, which is just as I expected.
Then Kagome showed up. The way she looked at me made me think that I had forgotten to put on my apperance charm... But then its like, wouldn't her family notice? That chick has serious problems if you ask me...
(After breakfast)
Throughout breakfast I don't think Kagome had said three words. I wonder if she is always this way, or if it is just because of me being here. Ah well, who cares about what the little wentch anyways? Her family doesn't look too conserend.
Anyways... Gramps walked me outside...
"The ladders are in the shed over here, the hose is on the other side of the house... Here are some scrubbing brushes and sponges. Get to work. I will call you when you can take a break." The old man was really strict. Before I could respond, he shoved a sponge and a brush at me before turning around to go inside.
I survade the situation, and got to work, hoping that I wouldn't have to see the cat again...
~~~Kagome's POV~~~
I left my window open out of habit. I didn't even think to close it when he started to clean the house. Yeah, I am more than a little absent minded sometimes.
"Oi! Stupid wentch!" I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard his voice and immediatly closed my writing book."You should close your window!" I guess my jumpyness made him interested in what I was writing because he climed off the ladder and into my room. "Whatcha writen?" He asked cockily as he walked over and tried to snap the book from my desk, but I grabbed it away before he could get it.
"Get the hell out of my room." It must have sounded odd seeing as my voice was so quiet and timid sounding, not that I could really help it, I don't talk much.
"Oh aren't you the scary one," He said in a taunting voice. Getting pissed off, I suddenly found my voice.
"Listen, I told you to GET THE HELL OUT!" I yelled. I liked the feeling of yelling. I hadn't done it for a while.
"Geez ok, ok!" He backed away and got on the ladder, which uncerimoniously leaned off the house upon him getting all the way back on it. It fell against the tree which was ajasent to my window. Inuyasha eventually landed on the ground.
"Oh God!" I said,"Are you ok?" Looking at him getting up I whispered to myself,"Oh, of course you are, you're a Hanyou after all." He heard me. Before I knew it, the ladder was back against my house and he was once again in my room. Next thing I knew, I was cornered by an angry looking Inu.
"What the hell did you say?" He asked me with a ferious look on his face. Crap, if he figures out that I know... Well, it'll only be a matter of time before he... I don't even want to think about it.
"N-nothing?" I practically asked him if that answer would work, but, of course, it wouldn't.
"I *heard* you say something, wentch, so spit it out!" His jaw was clentched with anger.
"Fine, all right? Fine!" I spit at him,"I know! I know you're a hanyou! Happy now?"
At first, he looked honestly scared, but then his look of fear turned into a smirk,"You think that *I* am a hanyou? You're crazy! There aren't any demons!"
"I can see through you're charm," I inform him timidly,"You're lying right now. And from the looks of it, you are a dog demon, or hanyou." I reached for his ears. "See? Your ears are right here." He flinched under my touch... Hate to say it, but I kinda like his ears.
The look on his face was that of pure horror..."H-h-how d-do you, I mean, h-how can you see?" He asked frantically.
"I-I-I uh," Oh yes, what a smooth responce from a miko!
"Fuck!" He yelled frantically. Yeah, yay me, no body can scare people like *I* can.
He stared at me for a moment, I studied the fuzzy, peach colored carpet that we were both standing on. Neither of us said anything. He turned to leave out my window again, but before he got on the ladder he said in a harsh voice,"You'd better not tell anyone about this...you little *freak*" The way he said "freak" made my skin crawl.
"Don't worry, I wont." I say sollomly as I shut the window so he could clean it. His punishment wasn't as entertaining as I thought it was going to be. I left my room to go watch tv down stairs. I didn't need *him* watching me.
~~~Inuyasha's POV~~~
She left her room. I should get back at her, its only a matter of time before she spills and I am run out of school. Damn her. Her window is unlocked... Maybe I could see what she was writing about...
I opened her window (A/N pretend windows can open from the outside...) and climbed in. Her book was just laying there for the world to see. Its probably a stupid diary.
I opened it up... This was no diary... It was full of angsty poems... Geez, she writes good for a freak.
"What are you doing?" I slam the book shut and put it back on her desk. What was she doing back here? But more importantly, why can't I seem to sense her coming? This isn't the first time, I mean, there was the incident in the hall at school, the night I egged her house... And now.
"Nothing," was my well thought out responce.
She walked over to the desk as I backed away, she picked up her poetry book, looked at me then said,"Well, I see you went through it, so tell me? Ya gonna use it for blackmail? You going to show it to everyone and make fun of me? I am a big girl, Inuyasha, you're not going to break me." I can smell tears, she is obviously fighting them back. Why would she say such things? When did *I* say I would do that?
"Ha," she laughed half-heartedly, with the tears she had tried so hard to fight back slowly begining to stream down her face,"Isn't *this* what you wanted? You and Kikyo? Huh? Didn't she say she *wanted* me to cry like the baby I am? Huh? *Didn't* she?"
Crap, so *thats* where she got it.
"Stop it, all right? I hate it when girls cry!" I can just see the anger storming in here eyes, making what would normally be crystal blue, dark and cloudy... Great, now *I* am getting poetic. "And besides, its not *my* fault you were frickin spying on us!" Good come back, Inuyasha, you really showed her for listening in on the conversation you had with Kikyo about her.
"You know what? Stuff it! I don't even know why the fuck I'm crying! You are just a big ass, you know that? A big ass..."
As I turn to leave I said,"For what its worth, your writing's pretty good." At least I said something that I could sort-of-semi-kinda-a-little-bit redeem myself with for being Ass of the Year.
~~~Kagome's POV (once again)~~~
After he shut the window, I through the closest thing to me, which just happened to be a random chapter book, as hard as I could at the window. I can't believe him! Where the hell does he get the *nerve* to tell me that *I* was spying on him when he was talking about me behind my back. He is an ass hole. Then he goes and says that my "writing's pretty good". I don't know why he gets me so pissed! Ok, I do, but I don't know *why* he does it. Maybe some music will help calm my nerves. Good ol' Linkin Park, how ye has never failed me. At least they won't come and do everything in their power to piss me off.My guess is that he will run off and tell little Kikyo about my poetry book, then there will be some mass operation to steal it and spread it around the whole school, thinking it would make me cry. Well, if that's the way they are going to play, then I shall just have to make myself devoid of all emotion. Yeah, like thats going to happen. Emotion is the whole reason I *wrote* all of that stuff.
"Kagome," Mom is calling from the other side of the door, I wonder if she heard my little tantrum.
"What?" I ask, trying make my voice sound to quivery.
"Its lunch time, do you want to come and eat?" She asks.
"No thanks, I'm not hungry,"Translation: I don't want to see Inuyasha.
"Ok, you just come down if you get hungry, all right? I'll save some food for you if you do." I hear her walking down the hall to the stairs. I relax.
I started to fall asleep until I was jerked awake by the sudden sound of Buyo scratching to get into my room. I guess I could use the company, so I let him in. After all, he *did* lung at Inuyasha with a fury unlike any I have seen before. He deserves to be treated well. I wonder if he knows that Inuyasha is a dog Hanyou. That might explain his hostility towards him... Its funny because I have taken Buyo to have a rather placid attitude. I picked him up and sat on my bed to look out the window. There on the ground were all the brushes and things where Inuyasha must have abandend them to go and eat lunch. Buyo migrated to my bare feet, where he is now purring contently. I feel a little better knowing that when Inuyasha comes around, I have got Buyo here to give him a run for his money. I don't really understand that phrase, but it works.
~~~Inuyasha's POV... yet again~~~
Ms. Higurashi makes really good food, as I learned from the breakfast this morning. My usual diet contains anything toastable, mircrowaveable, or ramen, and thats about it. Its nice to have real food again. I notice that Kagome isn't here. Ms. Higurashi looks at me and said,"Kagome seems to want to be alone today."
"Oh," I say, knowing that that probably *isn't* the case. Sometimes I am an idiot. I admit it.
I sat down and ate the stir fry she put in front of me. Like I said, her food was good. When I finished eating, I noticed that Grampa had fallen asleep, Salvation! Until...
"Inuyasha?" Ms. Higurashi asked, holding a tray with food on it. "Would you mind terribly much to bring this to Kagome?"
"Uh," Once again, a stunning responce on my part.
"Please? I know she said she wasn't hungry, but I don't really think that thats the case... I don't know, sometimes, sometimes its just so hard to get to that girl" Suddenly, Ms.Higurashi was spilling to me about how Kagome shut everyone out. I sort of feel like I am one of those people who could have made her the way she is, you know, if I had known her before. "You see, she used to be so, so happy, we all were. *Sigh* Oh I just wish she would see that things aren't all bad... I'm sorry, just rambling about my problems...But really Inuyasha, would you please?
"I guess I could..." Honestly, do I really have a choice?
"Oh thank you! And since Granfather is asleep, you could leave after you put the supplies away..."(A/N She is used to calling him that around her kids... My mom calls her mom Grandma)
"Oh really? Thanks!" I am glad to go home... I did a lot of work today. And don't particularly *want* to see how much more I can piss of Kagome.
She shoved the tray at me and said,"Ok, well, tell Kagome that I made her favorite for lunch." Then she brightly walked off.
Great. I am holding the tray. Nothing left to do now but go give it to her. Just great.
"Hey, aren't ya gonna take it? If you don't start moving Gramps'll wake up, and then, well... Lets just say, you will wish you could rip your ears off." Sota informed me. Suddenly, I feel rather self conscious about my ears... Can anyone else in this family see them?
Great.
"Kagome," somehow, my legs have managed to carry me up to her room. There is no answer."Kagome?" I say a little louder.
"What do you want?" An annoyed sounding Kagome answered. She seems happy.
"I just brought up a tray of food for ya," I tell her.
"Oh how sweet, I didn't know you cared." Her voice was dripping with sarcasum.
"Feh! Yeah right! Your mom asked me to," Great comeback on my part. Oh yeah, real great.
"I sort of figured that..." I was begining to get annoyed about having to talk through the door....
"Whatever, are you going to eat, or not?" Annoyed, annoyed, annoyed. To semi- quote my mom's old car..."The door... is annoying, the door... is annoying." No, I didn't say that out loud.
"What do you think?" Ok, now *she* is pissing me off.
"Thats it!" I say as I set down the tray and ram the door open, much to her suprise, I am sure.
"What the *hell* are you doing?" She screamed at me. I don't know why, but I was a little taken aback... This has been *such* a wonderful day.
"Listen, you're pissing me off, just eat your damn food and lets get on with our lives!" I pick up the tray and shove it at her.
"Why should I?" She asked, holding her tray like its a tray full of crap. I know, not the best comparison... I am not clever in the wording department.
"Your mom said she made your favorite... At least you have someone bothering to do *something* nice for you, so stop fucking wallowing in your stupid self pity and eat the damn food!" I guess something I said must have trigged her, she just stared at me. It was strange.
"Can you just go?" her voice was freakishly calm after the our little bout. She was now clutching the tray like it was... well, more important than crap...Hey! I'm not the poet here, she is.
"Feh, whatever... Just don't spaz out again, ok? It's freaky." Once again, Mr. Wonderful says the perfect thing...
"GET OUT!" Well, the good news is, when she slammed the door on me, there wasn't the sound of anything hitting wood... Meaning she didn't throw anything like she did when I went out the window... Bad news is... She is not going to be happy tomorrow... But hey, why should I care... Oh yeah, I egged her house... But still, I am only here because of Kikyo...
Hey! Thats right! All *this* is Kikyo's fault. Why me? Why them? If I had a wall in near proximity, my head would definatly be hitting it. God, this isn't even the first time Kikyo has gotten me into something like this, and yet, here I am, serving her like a dog. (A/N You saw the warning at the begining of the chapter, didn't you?) And each time I ask my self why I put up with it. Well, I guess the answer is that she, she seems to care, I mean, sure, she is a *little* selfcentered at times, but hey, who isn't? And then, I don't know, I just feel like I am *supposed* to be with her.
