Thanks for the reviews! Hmmm I'll try to cut down on the random POV thing
^^* or at least label them. Oooo... I've only seen Inuyasha in Japanese but
I've been watching it dubbed on adult swim-.-; it's not bad, the voices are
pretty decent =] Sesshoumaru just made an appearance (be still my beating
heart).
Only Normal on the Average
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
Miroku gave an adorable sniffle of distress as he balanced an ice pack on one mutilated foot, while the other one throbbed painfully, demanding for a turn with the ice. Girls within the vicinity 'awwed' when he did so, nearly tripped over -themselves- to offer Miroku any kind of comfort. Well, he felt a -little- better. But..... he was feeling paranoid.
"Inuyasha do me feet look .... bigger?!! I mean look at them do they seem swollen to you??"
Inuyasha used no small portion of his willpower to stifle his laughter
"Don't be such a baby Miroku, you stubbed your fucking toe. And yeah they look like they grew a heartbeat and had a hernia."
"STUBBED my TOE?!" was the outraged gasped.
'I'd like to see a 500 pound sumo wrestler fall on -your- feet, and hear you say you just stubbed your toe.' Was the glance clearly communicated by Miroku.
None the less, a crafty smile found its way on Miroku's lips. "Be nice, or I just might not help you out of the grave you dug your self."
"-I- didn't do anything wrong," Inuyasha denied with an annoyed expression. "That girl should have been doing cartwheels when I asked -her- out."
"God. You're an arrogant bastard."
Inuyasha shrugged. "Anyone else would have." He muttered matter-of-factly.
Miroku nursed his injury absentmindedly, "You still don't get it do you? The point was that Kagome was -unique- as in she won't respond well to or put up with all the crap you deal other people, that's what was going to make her so effective against Kikyo. She's been sheltered from any likes of our social circles, so she'll be distinct and refreshing; it'll drive Kikyo nuts."
Inuyasha thought that Miroku should go sell vacuums or something. It was exasperating how persuasive he could sound. Kikyo -did- hate anything non- traditional with her friends, her life, whatever, but Inuyasha thought it made her coolly self-possessed and classy. A soft ache ground into his chest.
"She has naiveté and intelligence. She would have been great to work with...." Miroku trailed off, smirking.
The corner of Inuyasha's lip turned down a bit. .... -would-? No. He had to have Kikyo. He was willing to go with this stupid scheme if it meant he'd have her back.
"But seeing how it'll -never- work now that you've extinguished any semblance of hope, is a real pity."
Inuyasha was thoughtful. "No." he replied finally. "It wouldn't have worked anyway," he shook his head to emphasize his point. "If she's as remarkable and -different- as you make her to be she wouldn't have succumbed to my charms," Miroku made a face at this, "without knowing her role as a pawn."
Miroku opened him mouth in surprise, then closed it with a click.
Inuyasha's face was cast in an irked yet satisfied expresssion.
"So are you saying, we should clue her in and throw ourselves at her mercy?" O.o
Inuyasha was unsure. Was he saying that? Well, not the last part but, maybe -ask- her for her help?
Inuyasha got thoughtful again. Miroku randomly stared at his supposedly bloated feet, complimented himself on his inhuman threshold capacity for pain.

Through out physics I'm pretty sure Sango bore more than one hole through my head, but I was slumped at my desk thinking woe is me and my malnourished body to make amends yet. Did I mention I missed lunch? The lunch of all lunches where I was seriously hungry? When the bell rang I frowned. 'ugh I don't want to get up.'
Sango was immediately at my side. She was sympathetic and handed me a granola bar with a kindly smile. Sango, that saint, she really was.
I munched happily on the honeyed oats while we were headed to Home eco. I felt terribly indebted to Sango, so I at least owed it to her to answer all of her questions to the best of my abilities.
"Kagome," she started uncertainly, "who were those guys?"
"Pony-tailed boy was Miroku and the other was Inuyasha."
Sango raised a questioning eyebrow. "Inuyasha, his prickly highness from yesterday, and his groper happy chum?"
"Yes."
"What happened this afternoon? Was Inuyasha er.... asking you out??"
"Noo... It was just a running joke between the three of us, since were old buds."
Sango gave Kagome a pointed look and waited for her to put things in perspective.
Kagome sighed, "ok, ok um I think it -was- a joke, between the two of them or something."
Sango looked angry for a second. "Hey Kagome, you don't think this has anything to do with the Inuyasha break up thing do you?"
Huh. I'd forgotten about that. Ach, I felt like such a dim bulb.
Sango noticed my wonder and continued hastily "I mean, is he on the rebound or whatever? I thought you guys didn't even like each other."
"We didn't. We -don't-." Kagome corrected. "He was just being an asshole because of his dumb personal issues."
They'd Arrived early to Home Ec. and took the coveted back seats.
"No, I don't think so Kagome," Sango turned a sharp eye towards her friend. "They were giving off suspicious vibes at lunch."
I looked at Sango strangely.
"Well, subtlety isn't exactly their forte." Sango defended.
I chuckled dryly "I'm sure...."
The conversation drifted off as the teacher called the class.
Kagome's mouth twisted pensively, 'I'm sure Inuyasha would be dying to have Kikyo back. So, what if him asking me for a date wasn't a stupid crack, what if that dolt was being serious ..... because ... because he wanted me to make Kikyo jealous? No, that couldn't be it. Christ. Of course not, why on god's green earth would he try to use me? We're in mutual dislikement and he's not crazy enough to actually think I'd say yes ...... ehh maybe not crazy enough, but clearly conceited enough.'
The more she thought about it the more confusing it got. Her head hurt, and every question she had started with a 'why'.
The not so quiet whispered conversation of Kikyo and her two side lackeys, seated closely in front of me and Sango, interrupted my current line of thoughts.
Kagome had never seen Kikyo without Yura and blondie, did they have -all- of their classes matched up? Ugh, it was a conspiracy, I swear, they were probably running some seedy, notorious organization that controlled teachers, dress codes and the ruling guide. I smiled cynically, it could happen.
The blonde one squealed in a way I'm sure she was proud of, her head bobbing furiously in rhythm to her 'uhuh's "I have never seeennnn a more beautiful man then him," with a side glance at Kikyo, "well besides Naraku."
"OHHH.... I want to have his babies!!" Blondie practically shouted, breathlessly of course, she was always breathless, guess talking and sitting takes a lot out of her.
"Chill the hell out, Hitomi, my fucking ears are bleeding." Yura murmured, intensely preoccupied in inspecting chunked strands of her hair.
"Sorry." Was the breathless apology.
"What do you think, Kik?" The Hitomi person inquired, voice quivering with the will to please.
"Not bad. I -do- have Naraku. But.... he's not bad at all." With her back turned to me, I could -hear- her private little smile. I wanted to gag.
"I hear they're brothers." Was the low, purring voice.
Kikyo instantly stiffened.
Poor Hitomi was without a clue. "Who?" she asked.
Yura was probably rolling her eyes when she answered patiently, "Inuyasha and that new guy, Sesshoumaru." She hesitated, wary of a silent Kikyo. "It's just a rumor but the resemblance is pretty undeniable."
I blinked, equating the name of Inuyasha's brother to the face of the stranger I'd bumped into. Things were getting a little -too- interesting, it was making me a mite nervous.
The rest of the conversation was more or less the same. Kikyo being stuffy about Inuyasha, Yura dropping heavy hints that Kikyo was tied up, Sesshoumaru was unclaimed, thus free for all; and Hitomi, well sounding like she'd run a damn marathon. It was pretty funny.
