Trouble in Paradise
By: InuLover
A/N: Howdy! I'm back from swimming in my pool of homework! Somehow, no matter what I do, I get grounded from my computer. I always shut myself up in my room and listen to music and I STILL get grounded. That's why this chapter was so late getting out. Sorry about that!
waterlily216: I think the proper term is "blonde moment" Don't take that offensive by the way! I am a blonde and I have MANY of those moments. Trust me. Lol ^_^
Inusapphrine: Yeah I tend to write 6-10 page chapters. I try not to make it long but sometimes I get so hyper I write A LOT. Hehe
Inulover626: I'm sorry I didn't update soon v.v
InuyashaGirlie: Thanks a lot!
AquaRika: GAH! COFFEECOFFEE COFFEE!! I particularly like Folgers French vanilla but that may be just me. Dude I wish I was Asian. Then my grounding would be for a month v.v
LadyKoneko: Thanks a whole bunchies for reviewing!
Chinita: I didn't kill them! I swear! Stop looking at me like that! Just kidding. I have added a lot of people in here they are just not mentioned very often.
Kikyo- Kagomes and Sangos boss
Shippo- Kagome and Sangos coworker
Sesshomaru- InuYashas boss
Kouga- Kagomes ex psycho boyfriend
Naraku- InuYashas evil coworker
I think that's it. Yeah. Sorry if I missed someone. On with the chapter!
Chapter 19: The Kiddies!
Harukos POV !*~
I am Haruko, daughter of InuYasha and Kagome. I was diagnosed with the same killer disease that attacks the heart as my mother. When I was 6, I had all contents of it removed from my body. I am now 14 and in high school.
Okay. Enough of this boring blah blah blah crap. Let's get to the real story now. Ichiro is my best friend. We grew up together and hung out with each other all our lives. School was about to start and we would be freshman in high school! How exciting is that!
Ichiro took after his father Miroku. He can't ever keep his hands to himself, if you know what I mean. He started groping me about last year. I guess that's when the hormones kicked in fully for him.
Yeah, well anyways.
"Haruko, do you have your supplies for school? I want you up bright and early for school tomorrow. You have to make a good impression on your first day of high school!" My mother yells from the laundry room. We recently moved out and got our own house. Sango, Ichiro, and Miroku stayed at our old house. I don't think I could stand to live in the same household with Ichiro anyways.
"Yes!" I yell back. Schools a drag. What person in their right mind would like school? I never liked junior high but for some reason I am just so excited about going to high school. New friends, new teachers, new everything!
*RING*
I set my backpack down and answer my phone.
"Hello?" I say twisting the phone wires.
"Hey Haruko you ready for school tomorrow?"
"Oh its you Ichiro. Yeah I just got done packing my book bag. Are you going to come to my house to walk me to school tomorrow?"
"Yeah I will be over there at 7:30 so that we will be able to get there on time."
"Okay, well I gotta get off the phone, my dad is yelling at me."
"Okay bye Haruko."
"Bye Ichiro."
I hang up the phone and run downstairs to see what my father wants.
"Did you need anything daddy?" I say sitting next to him on the couch. My dad hasn't aged a bit since I can ever remember. I look back on old pictures of him and me and mom and he looks the same. My mom on the other hand, her face is slimmer than before and she has gotten taller over the years.
"No I just wanted to be with you." Dad says kissing my forehead.
"You're growing up so fast." I groan. "Yes yes I know. 'Just yesterday you were in diapers.'" I mimic.
"Damn right." Daddy says with a smile. Mom enters the room with a basket of laundry. She hands me my clean clothes to be put away.
"I can't wait till tomorrow!" I yell hyperly. "I wonder what Im going to wear." Hmm. I think I will wear a skirt tomorrow.
"Go to bed, it's already 10:00 Haruko." My mother says sternly.
"Okay. Good night. Love you." I say kissing my mom and dad.
"Love you too." They say in unison. I race up the stairs and climb into bed.
!_______The next day_______!
!@* Ichiros POV *@!
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Damn alarm clock. I wish I could make it shut off without moving. Sigh, its no use. I get up and look at me digital clock. It reads 6:30. Great. An hour to get ready.
I stagger towards my down and slowly open it to find my mother.
"Morning sweetie!" She bombards my half awake body with a hug.
"Mfh Mf." I say muffled.
"What was that?" My mother Sango says pulling away.
"I said, morning mom before you choked me to death."
"Oh sorry hun. I grabbed a towel for you. I want you to take a shower and get ready before you go over to Harukos house."
"Okay mom." I grab the towel and head into my bathroom. I am defiantly NOT a morning person. If I wouldn't have had my radio on I would have fell asleep in the shower.
I trudge down the stairs to find my father Miroku sitting at the table reading the newspaper.
"Hey son." He says nibbling on a piece of toast. "Are you going over to Harukos house after school?"
"Uh huh." I say grabbing a piece of toast before going out the door. My dad yells at me before I leave.
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do now!" He smiles. I know that smile. Whenever he smiles like that, mom always hits him and mutter 'perv.' Of course who am I to talk. I grope Haruko about every other day. What can I say. I'm in love and she doesn't know it. It's like a ritual to grope her everyday.
I head towards her house making sure not to trip on my dragging feet. I knock on the door and am greeted by InuYasha.
"Hey InuYasha. Is Haruko ready yet?" I ask yawning.
"Yeah she is." He says letting me in. "Wow Ichiro, of all the years I have known you, this is the nicest you've looked."
"I'll take that as a compliment." I say sitting on the couch. I'm not wearing anything special today. Just a purple button up shirt and some jeans. I'm not wearing my normal chain that hangs on my side.
I try not to gasp as Haruko goes down the stairs. She looks so beautiful today. Her beautiful silk black hair was put in a neat bun and her short brown skirt just screamed at me. Must keep control. Damn it why do I have to act like my dad did. Don't even get me started on her baby blue shirt.
"Um. Ichiro are you ready or are you just going to stare at me all day?" She's asks.
"Uh yeah sorry. Bye InuYasha, bye Kagome!" I yell, eager to get out of the house. Haruko tells her parents goodbye and rushes out behind me. We jog a little until we get to the end of the block.
"So are you excited to be in high school?" I ask trying to start up a conversation.
"Of course!" She says and slaps my arm playfully.
"You look nice." I compliment 'REALLY nice.' My mind screams.
I see her blush from the side. "Thanks. You look nice too." She murmurs.
Well at least I'm getting somewhere with her. Oh damn. No stop. Don't do it!
SMACK
"You always know how to ruin a moment don't you Ichiro!" She yells at me. My damn hand has a mind of its own. Curse my father for giving me this trait.
"I SWEAR I didn't mean it!" I say from the ground.
"Yeah Right." She says and rolls her beautiful brown eyes at me. She reaches out her hand to help me up and I gladly accept.
How long I have liked her, but she must never know. I keep the secret to myself. It's hard to keep so much love to yourself but I know she doesn't love me the way I love her.
We finish walking to our new school. I hold the door open for her and walk inside. This place is PACKED with people! I didn't know how big this high school was!
"All freshmen head into the auditorium to get your locker assignments and class schedules." The principal says over the intercom.
"Well I guess that's were we need to go." Haruko says. Now what she did next frightened me. She grabbed my hand and led me to the auditorium. She actually grabbed my hand! I mean we weren't holding hands or whatever but that's a big step for me! All I ever grab is her ass.
(He curses a lot doesn't he? Most of the guys at my school cuss every other word so yeah)
We took a seat next to each other in the very back. Then came my problems. It was HER. Kohana.
Let me explain about Kohana. She's liked me since junior high. We dated and she cheated on me for Shinichi. I caught them making out at her house when I went to visit her. Shinichi was one of those guys that everyone loved even though he was a jerk. Kohana was a pretty girl with brown hair and blue eyes. I was so upset over the whole thing but luckily I had Haruko to go to. I told her everything that happened and lets just say she's wasn't to 'friendly' towards Kohana anymore.
Well anyways, Kohana knew she messed up when she cheated on me. Ever since we broke up she has been determined to get back with me. That's were Haruko comes in. Either Haruko doesn't like Kohana or she's jealous.
Kohana makes her way towards me. "Ichiro! I didn't know you were going to Shikon High! How great!" She says cheerfully.
"Go away slut he hates you and so do I. Leave us alone and go sit by someone else." Haruko says without blinking.
"Fine." Kohana huffs and stomps off.
"Phew. Thanks so much Haruko! You're a lifesaver!" I say.
"Yeah Yeah you owe me big time." She says.
"How bout I take you out to dinner sometime." I ask. Please don't reject me. Please don't reject me. Please don't reject me. Please don't reject me. Please don't reject me. Please don't reject me. Please don't reject me, I pray.
"Are you asking me out on a date." She says smiling.
"Maybe." I say blushing.
"Sure I'll go to dinner with you Ichiro. How about Friday?" She says, her smile getting bigger.
"That would be great." I say. YES YES YES YES YES! I'm the happiest person alive!
She smiles back at me and listens in as the teachers explain our schedules and classes. I put my hand over Harukos, praying that she won't slap me. Luckily she doesn't do anything about it.
!*_____ Lunch time ____*! ****Harukos POV****
"Phew. Aren't you glad half the day is over Ichiro?" I ask getting my nasty cafeteria food.
"Of course! It's just the first day of school and I already fell asleep in English!" I laugh. We sit rather close to each other at an empty lunch table and eat the unedible food that Shikon High has to offer. That's it. Next time I'm going out to eat.
Seems like ever since this summer, I have been more and more attracted to Ichiro. Kinda scary though. I used to think of him as my brother but I'm starting to question that now. I just shake it off and go on with life.
We were having a rather enjoyable lunch together, besides the food, until Kohana came over to ruin it. The little slut just plops down beside Ichiro like she owns him.
"So Ichiro, do you wanna do something after school?" She says chomping on her gum like a true ditz.
"Actually, I have plans with Haruko." He says.
"Well I'll tag along with you! After all you are my boyfriend." That's it. I can't take it anymore. Either its jealous rage or I really need anger management.
"No way in HELL will you be coming along with us! I can't STAND you! And another thing, Ichiro is NOT your boyfriend! You only wish he was! Just face it, you screwed up by cheating on him. You had your chance and you blew it!" I said standing up angrily.
"What did you say bitch?" she counters.
Okay, heres were the 'anime vein' pops out.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!" I scream.
"A bitch. Got a problem with it?"
No use for words anymore. I take that slut out with one punch to the eye. She just falls to the floor like a ton of bricks.
"Haruko, you didn't have to be so harsh." Ichiro says staring at Kohanas lifeless body.
"Well, you have to stand up for yourself Ichiro. I wasn't about to let her get away with calling me a bitch." I say trying to calm myself down.
"That's what I love about you." He says smiling. We dump our trays off and head to our lockers.
Classes dragged on for another 2 hours and then we were free.
"So were going to my house right?" I say dragging along my heavy book bag.
"Yeah if that's fine with you."
"Of course it is."
We make it to my house and slip off our shoes. My dad doesn't get home till 6:00 and mom is usually working right now so we are home alone.
"I have tons of math homework. You wanna work on it together?" I ask digging out my math book.
"Sure." Ichiro says and grabs his math book.
"I'm going to go get dressed into something different. This skirt is killing me." I say getting up. Hm. something's wrong. The way Ichiro looks, its devious.
"Don't even THINK about spying on me pervert." I say glaring at him.
"Would I do that?" He says with a perverted gleam in his eye.
"I have a lock on my door so don't even think about coming upstairs. I'll sick InuYasha on you."
"Eep!" Okay I won't spy!"
"Good!" I say trudging up the stairs.
I change into some jean shorts and a pink tank top and head back down stairs.
"Ichiro I thought we were going to study." I said sitting down beside him on the couch.
"We were. TV looked a lot better to me though." I laugh. So we sit there and watch TV for about an hour. Now don't get me wrong. I wasn't trying to come onto Ichiro it's just I was really tired. So I leaned on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around me. We watched TV for a little longer.
"Haruko?"
"Hm?"
"Do you ever think we will graduate high school?"
I sit up. "Why do you say that?"
"I was just wondering. I would love to get into a good college but I don't even think I would pass high school."
"I'll help you."
"Good." He says. We look into each others eyes. Ichiros face moves closer to mine until our lips touch. It was a soft gentle and quick kiss. But I still loved it anyway. I went back to snuggling with Ichiro.
Soon, I fell asleep and I guess he did too. My dad was the first to come home and find us like that. Asleep in each others arms. Not something any dad would want to see.
"ICHIRO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BABY?!" He yells and immediately we wake up.
"What are you talking about daddy? We were just watching." I stop right there. Somehow when we were sleeping, I ended up lying on the couch on top of Ichiro, which must have looked REALLY bad to my dad. Oh my god.
I quickly get off of Ichiro. "Dad it's not what you think. I'm only 14 for Gods sake! Think about it! We were just watching TV and feel asleep. I swear."
Nope. He didn't believe me.
"ICHIRO GET YOUR SCRAWNY ASS OUTTA MY HOUSE! Wait till I talk to your parents!"
Ichiro quickly grabs his stuff and heads out the door. "See you tomorrow Haruko!"
"I DOUBT THAT!" Dad says and slams the door behind Ichiro.
"Never again will you have anyone over Haruko!" He says.
"But daddy nothing happened!" I protest
Okay, go ahead, call me a lair. Something did happen but what was I to do? Tell my dad I kissed Ichiro? Then my mother walks in.
"What's all the commotion about?" she says.
"I'll tell you what the commotion was about! Ichiro and our daughter were sleeping with each other!"
"NOT LIKE THAT YOU IDIOT!" I scream.
"Haruko, don't cal you father an idiot. He might be a jerk sometimes but not an idiot. Go upstairs."
"Fine." I huff. I act like I'm going upstairs but I just sit at the top of the stairs to listen.
"InuYasha, Haruko is growing up. You know that as well as I do. You probably came in at the wrong time. I trust our daughter and I guess you don't. She's a smart girl that makes smart decisions. You need to learn to trust your own daughter. You also need to call Ichiro and apologize." My mother says. God I love my mother. She's so understanding. Don't get me wrong, I love my father too but he's just a little dense at sometimes and thinks the worse about things.
"Haruko, you can come down from the top of the stairs now." InuYasha yells.
Damn. How did he know I was there?
"What do you want?" I ask angrily.
"I'm sorry for not trusting you more Haruko." He says and gives me a big hug.
"I don't care about that. You need to apologize to Ichiro not me." I say.
"Can't you do it for me?" He asks whining.
Sometimes I think he acts my age or younger.
BAM
"NO she can not do it for you! GROW UP! You act worst than Miroku!" My mother yells hitting InuYasha.
"Okay okay. Ill say I'm sorry."
"Good. I'm going to go get dinner started. Haruko, you need to work on your homework upstairs."
"Okay mom." I rush up the stairs. No I'm not going to do my homework are you crazy? I flip on the radio and lay on my bed.
Ichiro kissed me. He actually kissed me! I can't believe it. Somehow I didn't mind though. It was really nice and innocent. He somehow awoke a passion inside of me. I want to date Ichiro. That's why I get so mad when Kohana is around him.
I can't wait to see him tomorrow.

Damn alarm clock. I wish I could make it shut off without moving. Sigh, its no use. I get up and look at me digital clock. It reads 6:30. Great. An hour to get ready.

"I'm going to go get dressed into something different. This skirt is killing me." I say getting up. Hm. something's wrong. The way Ichiro looks, its devious.
"Don't even THINK about spying on me pervert." I say glaring at him.
"Would I do that?" He says with a perverted gleam in his eye.
"I have a lock on my door so don't even think about coming upstairs. I'll sick InuYasha on you."
"Eep!" Okay I won't spy!"
"Good!" I say trudging up the stairs.
I change into some jean shorts and a pink tank top and head back down stairs.
"Ichiro I thought we were going to study." I said sitting down beside him on the couch.
"We were. TV looked a lot better to me though." I laugh. So we sit there and watch TV for about an hour. Now don't get me wrong. I wasn't trying to come onto Ichiro it's just I was really tired. So I leaned on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around me. We watched TV for a little longer.
"Haruko?"
"Hm?"
"Do you ever think we will graduate high school?"
I sit up. "Why do you say that?"
"I was just wondering. I would love to get into a good college but I don't even think I would pass high school."
"I'll help you."
"Good." He says. We look into each others eyes. Ichiros face moves closer to mine until our lips touch. It was a soft gentle and quick kiss. But I still loved it anyway. I went back to snuggling with Ichiro.
Soon, I fell asleep and I guess he did too. My dad was the first to come home and find us like that. Asleep in each others arms. Not something any dad would want to see.
"ICHIRO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY BABY?!" He yells and immediately we wake up.
"What are you talking about daddy? We were just watching." I stop right there. Somehow when we were sleeping, I ended up lying on the couch on top of Ichiro, which must have looked REALLY bad to my dad. Oh my god.
I quickly get off of Ichiro. "Dad it's not what you think. I'm only 14 for Gods sake! Think about it! We were just watching TV and feel asleep. I swear."
Nope. He didn't believe me.
"ICHIRO GET YOUR SCRAWNY ASS OUTTA MY HOUSE! Wait till I talk to your parents!"
Ichiro quickly grabs his stuff and heads out the door. "See you tomorrow Haruko!"
"I DOUBT THAT!" Dad says and slams the door behind Ichiro.
"Never again will you have anyone over Haruko!" He says.
"But daddy nothing happened!" I protest
Okay, go ahead, call me a lair. Something did happen but what was I to do? Tell my dad I kissed Ichiro? Then my mother walks in.
"What's all the commotion about?" she says.
"I'll tell you what the commotion was about! Ichiro and our daughter were sleeping with each other!"
"NOT LIKE THAT YOU IDIOT!" I scream.
"Haruko, don't cal you father an idiot. He might be a jerk sometimes but not an idiot. Go upstairs."
"Fine." I huff. I act like I'm going upstairs but I just sit at the top of the stairs to listen.
"InuYasha, Haruko is growing up. You know that as well as I do. You probably came in at the wrong time. I trust our daughter and I guess you don't. She's a smart girl that makes smart decisions. You need to learn to trust your own daughter. You also need to call Ichiro and apologize." My mother says. God I love my mother. She's so understanding. Don't get me wrong, I love my father too but he's just a little dense at sometimes and thinks the worse about things.
"Haruko, you can come down from the top of the stairs now." InuYasha yells.
Damn. How did he know I was there?
"What do you want?" I ask angrily.
"I'm sorry for not trusting you more Haruko." He says and gives me a big hug.
"I don't care about that. You need to apologize to Ichiro not me." I say.
"Can't you do it for me?" He asks whining.
Sometimes I think he acts my age or younger.
BAM
"NO she can not do it for you! GROW UP! You act worst than Miroku!" My mother yells hitting InuYasha.
"Okay okay. Ill say I'm sorry."
"Good. I'm going to go get dinner started. Haruko, you need to work on your homework upstairs."
"Okay mom." I rush up the stairs. No I'm not going to do my homework are you crazy? I flip on the radio and lay on my bed.
Ichiro kissed me. He actually kissed me! I can't believe it. Somehow I didn't mind though. It was really nice and innocent. He somehow awoke a passion inside of me. I want to date Ichiro. That's why I get so mad when Kohana is around him.
I can't wait to see him tomorrow.
