A/N Thank you all for reviewing! I decided to get another chapter out
fast! So here you go.
I wondered: I was surprised nobody complained about me not pairing Inuyasha with Kagome. I thought some of you might be mad! I'm glad you weren't.
Shout Outs:
Inuyasha the lover: Don't worry, Inuyasha will get some action soon! :)
Ladykaa28: You'll have to wait for the fun! EVERYONE'S JEALOUS! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Oops sorry.
Andray: Yes it is typical.
CraziAznGurl: I love your enthusiasm. You're one of my favorite reviewers! Thanks!! :)
Unknownsomeone: Sugar is good for everyone *looks around. . . .then grabs the sugar container* YaY! Let's all be HYPER!!!
Sorry if I didn't answer your review. I choose different ones each time. If you want me to include yours even if you don't have a question, just tell me! :)
Last chapter, if any of you were wondering, ff.net took off all my bolds and italics. So if you guys were confused about the word fone at the end, that's why. I'm sorry Unknownsomeone, your thank you was supposed to be big and bold.
Please Read:
I think that this story is a little shallow. I'm going to start writing better and not meaningless chapters that I make up off the top of my head. You'll still have fluff and I'll try to make it funny, but that happens on its own. On with the story!
School Rules Chapter 9: Ooooh Mom! They're Making Out!
Kagome picked up the phone her mom handed her, "Hello?" "Hey, Kagome. It's Hojo." Said Hojo's ever cheerful, clueless voice. Kagome sighed mentally; of course he would be the one to break her moment with Inuyasha. Kagome had wanted to just stay with him, in his arms. She pushed that all back; she was paired with Hojo for a long term project. A MAJOR long term project at that. She had to keep her patience. Hojo was her friend, even if he saw her as more. Yes, she would just be nice and friendly.
"Hey Hojo! Whatcha calling for?" Kagome said. "I was thinking, since we're husband and wife for 2 weeks, I could just come to your house after school every day and leave later, that way you won't have to go anywhere. I know you had a short term case of arthritis," Hojo said. He seemed so worried for her that she almost missed the part where he said she had arthritis. . . almost. "WHAT!" Kagome screamed into the phone. 'Arthritis! She was only 15 for Christ sake! (sorry if I offended anyone).' "Right Hojo. I think that'll work," Kagome said in a bored tone. She busy planning a list: 101 ways to kill your Grandfather!
"Great Kagome! It's settled then! See you tomorrow!" Hojo hung up. Kagome sat there for a second, listening to the dial tone. What had she just agreed to? Maybe she could get Inuyasha to have Corie come over after school. He would agree to it, she was sure. He wanted to watch Hojo and make sure he didn't do anything to her. She wanted to watch Corie. Oh yes, the little. . . She let that thought trail off. She wasn't jealous and she wasn't going to do anything! 'Get real Kagome! If Inuyasha doesn't like Corie, he can take care of it. You're not getting in the way of his personal life!' She mentally screamed at herself. With that she was set to go upstairs and face Inuyasha.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'Dang!' Inuyasha could hear who was on the phone. 'That stupid Hobo!' Oh yes, Inuyasha was mad. Not . . . .well yes. His new found feelings told him he was jealous. He ranted in his head a little while longer, blocking out the conversation Kagome was having with Hojo downstairs. He didn't hear their agreement.
He was still ranting when Kagome pushed open her bedroom door and smiled at him. He stopped abruptly, one thought ran through his mind: she was plotting something!
"Hey Inuy-" Kagome was cut off. "What is it?!?! I can tell when you're plotting something!" Inuyasha looked at her suspiciously. "Nothing! I just. . . well Hojo and I made an agreement. We're coming here everyday after school to do the project," Kagome waited to see if it worked. "NOT UNLESS I'M HERE YOU'RE NOT!!" Oh yeah, it did.
"Well I guess you'll just have to make arrangements with Corie then, won't you?" She asked sweetly. . . too sweetly. Something was going on and she wasn't going to tell him. He decided to let it slide. "Feh," was all he said.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome and Inuyasha lay sprawled out on the bed. (Not liked that you perverts!) They were doing homework. Kagome lay on her stomach doing her makeup work. Inuyasha lay on his back doing his *extra* science homework. Kagome kept having to stop and help him when he didn't know a word.
"Kagome," Inuyasha said in a whining voice, "I don't get it!" Kagome turned her head to Inuyasha. He was on his side, is head resting on his hand, which was propped up by his elbow. "He looks so cute when he's frustrated!' Kagome thought, and then quickly pushed it away. Now was not the time.
"Let me see," Kagome said, involuntarily moving closer to him to grab his paper. She took it and their hands brushed together. Kagome let out a quiet, surprised gasp; his touch sent shivers down her spine . . . shivers of pleasure.
'No Kagome! You gave this up. You promised yourself that you wouldn't do this. He's in love with someone else! You're only going to hurt yourself. Don't let him get to you. He doesn't even notice.'
But she was wrong. Inuyasha suppressed a moan. What was that? 'Inuyasha stop. Right now. No more. This is Kagome! You've touched Kagome before!' It was true, he had. So what made now any different? He didn't know. His thoughts were too confusing, so he let them go.
Now he paid attention to other things. Like: the way Kagome bit her lip when she was concentrating, or the way her nose scrunched up to make her even more adorable. "You do it like this," Kagome said triumphantly, breaking Inuyasha's thoughts, which was a good thing. He didn't want to know what came next.
Kagome leaned over to explain it, so he could see. He watched her lips move. He wondered wha- 'NO BAD! STOP! Listen to her and stop acting like a love-sick puppy! . . . Oh bad pun' he thought. "So you see, if you ju-" he zoned out. Her hair was touching his nose, his very sensitive nose. It felt so soft; it always did. He wanted to just reac- "Get it?" Kagome turned her head, moving her hair, to see Inuyasha's expression. "Yeah! I mean Feh!" Inuyasha tried to cover it. He really was acting like a love-sick puppy! Inuyasha never showed that much emotion. He was supposed to be trying to hide it; be indifferent and crude. "Give me that wench!" He grabbed the paper. 'Much better' he thought.
He immediately regretted it though. Kagome turned her head with a "Humph", then turned back around and pushed him off the bed. 'There!' she thought. 'Dang' he thought. 'I forgot how far from the floor her futon is.' He sighed; there was one way to fix this.
Inuyasha reached up, grabbed Kagome's arm, and pulled off the bed. . . and right on top of him. 'What was I thinking' Inuyasha cursed himself. Kagome's black tresses surrounded his head, giving them a private curtain. Not that they needed it, they were in an empty room, with a closed door. But still, it was like their own world; just them. He might as well go through with it.
"What was that for," he whispered, as if he talked too loud it would shatter their world. It came out more of a statement than a question; like it was the only thing he could think of to say. That was more than Kagome, who couldn't think of anything to say. She could only notice how close their faces were, all she had to do was- 'Bad! You're supposed to be mad right now!'
"Well . . . you deserved it," she whispered back, thinking the same thing. It didn't come out harsh or accusing, it sounded breathless; which was about right. She couldn't think of anything else to say.
He could feel her breath on his lips. Those lips again . . . Why had he pulled her off the bed? 'How did I think this was going to fix anything!?' He was starring deep into those cerulean orbs that showed so much emotion. He couldn't think anymore.
She stared into his deep amber gaze. She felt like this was right, but then why was it so wrong? She unconsciously licked her lips. Inuyasha watched her tongue graze over her dry lips . . . lips. . . 'argh!'. She was so close to his face. He could- 'No, you won't!'. He wouldn't. This was too confusing. There were so many things he had to think about like, his feelings, Kikyou, his jealousy, why Kagome's lips were so red- 'NO! THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU SHOULD BE THINKNING ABOUT!'
But why think? They were so close, He just had to lean up. He was leaning up. And then- "OMG! MOM Kagome and Inuyasha are making out in her room!!!!!" Souta crashed into the room. Two heads snapped up to the door, the moment was broken. "SOUTA! Run!" Kagome was up and off after her little brother, no doubt venting her frustrations on him.
Inuyasha sighed. What was he thinking! That was just it; he needed to think. He kept his ears erect, listening for any sound that would say Kagome was hurt. Why? Because he cared. He had hated it and himself for a while, but it was inevitable. Somebody had to make him care, or actually, show him how to care. She did; Kagome did. He sighed again. He would be up all night for sure!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome and he had avoided making eye contact when she came back to her room. They had said goodnight to each other nervously, then gone to bed. Well Kagome had. She had stayed up for 10 minutes to mull over her thoughts. Inuyasha had awakened her feelings for him again. She had been fine for a while, knowing that she loved him and he returned none of it. As long as he had been happy she assured herself that she would be too, but it hurt regardless. What had she expected? But she had buried her feelings, knowing that the shard hunt was more important. But he had to go and show her his polite side, which he had rarely done. He was doing it a lot now though. She didn't know why. Her last thought before drifting off was that they should see Sango, Miroku, and Shippou soon; just to check on them.
Inuyasha sat against the far wall of Kagome's room. He could see her and the window clearly. He had watched her until her breathing went deep and even. He got up, now, and walked over to her. He bent down to pear into her face. He wondered if anyone could be that beautiful, or if his eyes were playing tricks on him. He gently moved a raven lock away from her face. Her face was pale in the light of the moon.
He moved to sit down beside her, not wanting to move away. Why had he started thinking these things? He couldn't figure it out. He remembered feeling something akin to this for Kikyou, over 50 years ago. He wasn't ready to know what that meant. He was almost comfortable to just sit beside Kagome, but things couldn't stay like this, he needed to figure things out.
He had always been a little overprotective of his 'shard detector'. That wasn't anything new. Jealousy was a little new though . . .kinda. Maybe he had just decided not to notice it before, to not acknowledge it. That was just another question that needed to be answered: Why did he now?
He sighed for about the tenth time since Kagome fell asleep. He didn't know why or how it happened, but somewhere along this adventure he had grown to care for his 'shard detector' . . . his Kagome. He cared for her deeply, and he wanted her to know. But now was not the time. He had a feeling that it wouldn't be too soon either.
But someday she would know, he would tell her. With that Inuyasha let sleep over take his body.
A/N WoW! That was longer than some of my other chapters! A lot longer. I hope you were all happy with this chapter, and the quick update! I think it's my fastest yet. I don't know when I'll be updating again. Hopefully soon! :)
Thank you to all of my reviewers!!! The plot will reveal itself in a couple of chapters . . . hopefully! I need this stuff to happen first so hang in there!!
For anyone who cares:
I will be updating A stranger Walks at Midnight very soon. I'm sorry it's taken so long but I've still been planning the plot. I'm still not done, but I can do a few chapter still.
I want to thank everyone that has read my stories so far. I'm sorry to everyone, also, that I don't update as often as some would like. I'm trying but my life tends to get in the way. I'm going to keep fighting and try to update at least 1 every 1 or 2 weeks. I'll try to do it every week. Thank you all for your patience.
I wondered: I was surprised nobody complained about me not pairing Inuyasha with Kagome. I thought some of you might be mad! I'm glad you weren't.
