A/N Wow I didn't notice it had taken so long! I really need to watch my
timing! I should have update so long ago. I'm really sorry. I think I'll
start some chapter so I can post a few soon . . .
IF I GET REVIEWS!!
I noticed that I didn't get that many reviews for my last chapter. I don't know if it's because people got tired of waiting for me to update and stopped reading. Or if my last chapter was just really bad! So if someone could tell me if it was bad I would appreciate it. After all reviews are partly for critiquing, right?
FF.net took off my bolds and italics again. I'm not even sure if I should try putting them in there! Oh well. I know you don't want to read all this so. . .
School Rules Chapter 10: Forever and Back- Shippou Ponders
BEEP BEEP BEEP! "OH GOD! WHERE IS IT!?!?" Inuyasha was up on his feet in a flash. "I'll KIlL IT! Show yourself!" Inuyasha had his sword out and was ready to strike.
"Inuy*yawn*asha? What's wrong?" Kagome's hand slapped her alarm clock off. Inuyasha looked around. 'The noise stopped' Kagome giggled at him. He looked funny with his hair tousled and him looking frantically around. "What happened to that noise?" Inuyasha said warily, as if he expected some ghastly creature to come out and jump on his back.
"Don't be silly. That was my alarm clock. It's here to wake me up," Kagome said. Then she caught on 'Of course he wouldn't know about it. He never spends the night!' (I've never seen an episode when he has)
"Sorry! I forgot to tell you about that!" Kagome looked at him apologetically. "Feh," was all he said. Well it was good enough for Kagome. "Did you sleep good?" she said cheerily. "Feh," was all that Inuyasha said again. "Well someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed . . . wall . . .floor. . . how exactly did you sleep?" Kagome was confusing herself greatly. Inuyasha sighed and stood up. "I'll be in the shower!" Inuyasha raced away. '3-2-1-' "HEY! INUYASHA! THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!" Kagome raced to the bathroom door and pounded her fists on it. "Get out!" Kagome whined. "I don't think I will" Inuyasha said.
Kagome sighed and retracted herself downstairs. It was only then that Inuyasha remembered that he had forgotten how to use the shower. "Good morning Kagome! How are you this morning?" Kagome's mother looked at her daughter's face over the morning newspaper. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! IT'S Freakin COLD!" came a scream from upstairs. "Oh I'm just peachy!" Kagome said, smirking to herself. Ms. Higurashi smiled secretively on the other side of her newspaper. She was going to have a long talk about her daughter's evening activities the night before. :)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sango, when's Kagome coming back?" Shippou looked up from his soup. He missed ramen. Of course, he missed Kagome more. This was all Inuyasha's fault. He had to go and open his big mouth and say mean things to her! It had only been a day, but he already missed her.
Unlike when she left for her exams, which was what she had set out to do, there was a chance that she wouldn't come back. Inuyasha could be buried 10 feet in the dirt, unconscious for a couple of days. Demons heal fast but there are some things that take a while!
Shippou knew that one of Kagome's starring attributes was loyalty. She had a task to do, but if Inuyasha kept betraying her feelings, teasing her, and provoking her, she might just stay away. Kagome wanted loyalty as much as she gave it out. She had feelings just like everybody else. Inuyasha needed to learn that.
If Kagome didn't come back, Shippou didn't think he could ever forgive Inuyasha. That's another thing Kagome was, forgiving. But this time, Kagome needed to stand up for herself and her feelings- she had stood up for herself. Shippou remembered, he had been in that clearing when she said goodbye to Inuyasha. Her voice was laden with grief, guilt, but most of all there was resignation. She had given up. She was tired of everything, tired of putting up with everything, and Shippou didn't blame her.
Inuyasha just didn't get it sometimes-and if he did he didn't let you know it. Inuyasha put up that gruff exterior as a shield. It covered up everything he didn't want anybody to figure out about himself. But Kagome did. She always knew how he was feeling, when something was wrong.
Kagome was so pure that she didn't think twice about helping Inuyasha-about helping anybody. Nobody needed to tell her, she just knew. She was the one who had broken down Inuyasha's walls. She was the one to which he showed himself. But it was rare that he did. Shippou knew that Inuyasha still didn't understand why Kagome could brake down all his barriers. He didn't like it- feeling exposed. That's why he had to go and mouth off to her and have his way about everything.
If anybody could get through to Inuyasha, it was Kagome. But it worked the other way also. Shippou understood the way Kagome used to look at Inuyasha. Sometimes she still looked at him with that love in her eyes. Yes, everybody could tell that she loved the hanyou, she gave it away so plainly. She would follow him anywhere. Even after she knew he still loved Kikyou, she promised she would stay . . . stay with him.
Even if Inuyasha didn't know the way she longed for him, it would be the reason as to why she would come back. Because she loved him. At night when Shippou rested beside her, he would hear the way she would tell herself not to love him. She realized that being in love with someone who was in love with another, would only hurt her.
But she couldn't stop loving him. She might have appeared to on the outside, and buried those feeling on the inside, but that's all they were- buried. And of course those feelings would rise at the appropriate time. She would recognize them and, no doubt, try to force them under again.
Shippou wasn't sure if it was a good thing to have them resurface. Inuyasha would most likely be oblivious, so he wouldn't play off them- though Shippou didn't think he was like that. But if Inuyasha did notice them, what would happen. Could Inuyasha come to love Kagome? Shippou wasn't sure. Inuyasha was to confusing for his own good!
But those feelings that Kagome had would be the basis on why she returned. She would not betray the other's trust. And Inuyasha . . . she would go to forever and back for him.
Shippou smiled. He might be young but he knew how to analyze. But he couldn't help but wonder if Kagome was okay.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey Inuyasha! We're gonna be late if you keep eating!" Kagome sighed at Inuyasha. He was sitting there stuffing his face without a care in the world. With one last swallow Inuyasha stood up. "I'm done now!" Inuyasha said, almost happily. Inuyasha had almost given up his blockades. ' Why bother blocking my feelings when she'll figure them out anyway?' It was just as well. Inuyasha noticed it made Kagome smile when he didn't sound so gruff. 'That's all I need.' Kagome smiling was beautiful. Kagome smiling because of him, that, that was priceless and perfect.
A/N I'm done! Yay! Chapter 1 0! The big 10! It's amazing. I never planned out how long this fic would be, but now it seems so . . . well . . .long.(that was lame) Anywho though I wanted to say thankyou to everyone who reviewed because I wouldn't have written all this if I didn't get feedback.
I feel so loved by everyone. I hope no one stopped reading my story because of the intervals in updating! I'm sorry. I'm going to get working on that!
Review responses: Didn't think I forgot now did you?!? :)
ISIS: Fluff for YOU!
Earth Borne: I'll get there don't worry!
Anglefox: It was because Souta thought they were making out.
darkrose2006: I thought it was cute too! :)
