story. The co-writer is the PoF, after all. ^_^ Between my fluff, and
Em's plot... we would be a good publishing team, wouldn't we? *pokes Em*
Maybe we should take Storymind's advice. *giggle* kakite.. the ah...
confusion was meant to be there... yeah.... And trust me, if you thought
this was funny, and fluffy, wait until you see what else we have in store!
*kiss* Enjoy!
Chapter 5!
It was morning and the birds were chirping, the sky was a perfect blue, the smell of lemongrass blew in the wind.
The two slept comfortably, 'little red riding hood' look-alike at the base of the tree, snuggled up in a ball and Inuyasha's body on the branch above, one leg swinging off of the branch back and forth. It was a beautiful, peaceful pleasant scene. One rarely ever felt by any. One of those moments you want to bottle up forever...
And then it all ended with a loud, high piercing cry.
"KAGOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The little fox screamed, just warning enough before he landed from his leap straight on the heap of fire rat red robe curled about her.
He leapt up, ready for a fight, but found that was Shippo who had rudely waken him up. Inuyasha tried to remember why he felt like he hadn't gotten enough sleep, and why Shippo was staring up at him like he was something precious. Then he remembered he was trapped in Kagome's body. 'Aw, Hell! Here I was thinking it was all a bad dream!' He rubbed his eyes and patted Shippo's head. "You foolish little demon!" he said in the sweetest voice Kagome's body could have. "What are you doing, you silly little thing? Waking me up like that!" Then she giggled, which Inuyasha hadn't been expecting to do at all. It only rekindled his desire to get out of his annoying female form before he forgot what it was like to be a real man.
Opening one eye, Kagome looked down and let out a 'hmpf'. "He's just playful, K-A-G-O-M-E." Kagome said leaping down from the tree with ease and landing with her legs crouched beneath her, elbows on her knees. "There's not need to confuse him, K-A-G-O-M-E." Kagome told Inuyasha, staring him down.
Inuyasha's eyes were wide and big. Why was Kagome angry??? Why was Inuyasha being so weird??? Why was he saying Kagome's name like that? AHHHHHHH!!! Oh no!!! Shippo's mind feverishly thought and he felt the sweat build on his forehead, jumping back up to Kagome's chest he caught fist fulls of her blouse. "He chose Kikyo!! Didn't he? The two timing two relationship leading guy picked Kikyo!!! That's why everything is so weird!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!! INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!" Shippo yelled glaring now over his shoulder at Inuyasha.
He rolled his eyes when Shippo looked away. This was too perfect! It was too easy! His eyes briefly arrowed at the fox demon when Shippo began ranting about Kikyo. Damn it, how come everybody thought that way about him? He clenched his fist to keep from choking the younger demon into silence. "Yes. That's it precisely, Shippo. Inuyasha doesn't care for me. He just likes me beause I reminded him of Kikyo. It was horrible, little Shippo! I was pouring my heart out to him, and he just turned me down." He gave a dramatic sniffle. "I don't know if I'll ever be able to love someone ever again."
"Sit." Kagome ordered, ignoring the pain it would cause her body. "Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit.Sit."
"WAAAAHHHH!!!" Shippo yelled as he leapt up away from Kagome. "KAGOME!!!!!!" He screamed and ran to her aid, startled at the sight of the necklace. "Eh... K-Kagome! The necklace that means! AH! INUYASHA!" Shippo screamed and jumped up twisting around to face Inuyasha, his spinning top in his hand. "Don't come any close you, you, you MEANIE!! How could you do that to Kagooooommeeeeee!!!"
His face felt like it had gotten hit with a panda. Or something. He wiped blood from his bleeding cheek, and tried -rather unsucessfully- to keep from laughing. "Oh, Shippo," he sighed. "It's all my fault. He told me that I could trust him. I took the necklace off him, and he hasn't tried to keep the Shikon jewels... but somehow whenever he says sit, I fall. He promised me he wouldn't do that anymore! Please... can you do something?" No matter what, Inuyasha had the pest right where he wanted him!
Kagome was seething. She felt her nails and glanced down to see the nails getting longer and golden tipped. "H-hey... Um..." Kagome begin, gulping.
Shippo didn't notice this. "OH KAGOME!!" He said and hugged her around the neck. "Here! I'll get it off of you then I'll beat Inuyasha up! I'll tell him to Miroku! And Sango! And and...You don't need him! He's just a worthless, bone head, mean, stupid Inu! You don't need him! Kouga is nice... Fast... But nice, and leave him! He can stay with Kikyo! We'll get the shards alone! An-" Before he could continue, he tried to remove the necklace and got shocked by it, his fur sizzling as though electocuted.. He fell back and muttered. "K-Kagome..."
Completely ignoring a rather toasty looking Shippo, he looked up at Kagome. "Yes? Can I help you with something Inuyasha?"
Kagome glared at Inuyasha, with a glare that only a woman could muster up, in a man's body or not.
Raising her claw above her head, Kagome grinned. "I have to admit something." Kagome said lowering her claw back down to rub her butt. Why did Inuyasha itch so much? "I didn't go for Kikyo. I think I am in love with Miroku."
His eyes narrowed. "Oh, you didn't.... Well if you want Miroku so much, maybe I should be the one to go after Kikyo! And when I get tired of one sister, there's always Kaede!"
Kagome grinned. "Alright. But you know who I could really go for? Kouga. I decided that he just smells good... And that tail of his..." Kagome now got lost in her own thoughts and looked it too. "And he is kinda handsome, and those eyes... The way he looks into you as though he can see your soul... He is always caring, and loving... Devoted." Kagome continued musing aloud.
A bemused Shippo finally regained consciousness and looked from between the two. 'I-Inuyasha? With.. A boy? And Kagome... With Kikyo? And Kaede? Oh no! What happened here?? What is wrong with them???
"Shut up!" Inuyasha snapped at Shippo, before he could control himself. He stood up and flung the robe back up at Inuyasha. "Fine! Go ahead and have Kouga, you little snake! See if I care! Aren't I devoted? I never had to save your scrawny ass from those demons, necklace or not!" He realized that his bottom lip was trembling. 'Oh Gods! I think this body is going to start crying on me!' Inuyasha turned around before anyone could see him and began walking toward the well. "If you want Kouga or Miroku so much, go find them!"
Kagome caught the robe with one robe and blinked out at her retreating body. 'Eh?' She thought then smacked her lips together. She hit a nerve. Well, good for her! After what he said about Kikyo.... But... He was devoted... Is. Isn't he? But is that all he sees her as? Someone to save all the time? He never had to save, Kikyo. Kagome thought to herself, lowering her head till the silver bangs fell over her face. She was just a pest. Sighing, Kagome began walking forward. 'Well, on the other hand Kouga- kun really got to him... And she didn't really mean all those things, well maybe slightly. About the tail at least.
Shippo ran after Kagome. "Kagome!! Kagome!! Don't cry!!!"
He began to climb into the well, sitting on the edge, while he waited to find out if Kagome was following him. He made sure his cheeks were dry. Is that what Kagome really thought of him? That he was everything Kouga wasn't? That he was ugly, and uncaring, and disloyal? No wonder half the time she treated him no better than a dog who followed her around and got ramen now and then as a reward! He glanced over his shoulder at Shippo. "Stay here, Shippo." He didn't bother trying to tell him he was actually Inuyasha. He didn't want to bother with it.
Kagome arrived at the well as Shippo walked away and stuck his tongue out at her muttering things. Poor Inuyasha... Kagome thought to herself, looking sad for Inuyasha. Coming up to the well, Kagome clasped her hands together in her lap and looked at him thoughtfully. She really needed to wash her hair, Inuyasha was ruining it. "I'm sorry about what I said back there."'
Inuyasha was silent a moment. "Good," he decided, not planning on telling her that he was sorry too. As far as Inuyasha was concerned, there was nothing that he should apologize for. "Are you ready to go?"
Kagome sighed. 'He isn't mature enough.' she thought but nodded sitting on the rim of the well beside him. "You know, we are going to have to explain this to my family... But, when we tell them the story. Can we leave out the bathroom and showering problems we had?" Kagome asked watching herself through the side of her eye.
"Can we leave out my spying too? You're just like your Mom, so I truly doubt that she'd understand, seeing as how you don't. We can just say we fell in with all our clothing on." He glanced up at her to see what he thought about his suggestion, hoping she would recognize the hint of guilt in his all-too human voice.
"AH HA!!! You admit to spying!!!" Kagome squealed. and by accident released the force of Inuyasha's claws. "Sorry." She whispered with an all too sheepish grin.
