DISCLAIMER: I don't think I have written a proper one in a while so… I do not own him *holds up Rumiko Takahashi plushie and points to it* SHE owns him… not me.
Yay I am back!!! If you were wondering what had happened to me exactly and why I wasn't here… too bad, I am too lazy to write it again. If you want to see or read why I was gone for so long you may read the authors note at the top of the most recent chapter of No more lil school girl. I think it is chapter 18…. Yes, chapter 18. So… with no further ado… the story
(I will respond to a few reviews at the bottom also… hey, im not THAT lazy)

Title: For Richer or Poorer
Chapter 5: Would you believe I forgot
the title…
"Kagome?"
Kagome who was sitting quietly on the sofa reading a book looked up at the voice. "What?"
"Do you know what time it is, Kagome?" the voice asked in a bit of a whisper. Kagome had the chills run through her spine and she forced a slight smile.
"Why no I don't, Miroku. Do you mind telling me what time it is?" she replied in an annoyed tone. This was probably the 20th time he had asked her in the last 15 minutes. He just wouldn't give up.
"It's 1:00. Do you know what you are suppose to do at 1:00?"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "I've only been reminded about a million times…"
Miroku sat down on the couch and pulled the book out of her hands.
"Hey, I was reading that!"
Miroku shook his head. "Well not anymore…"
Kagome crossed her arms over her chest. "You fun sucker" she hissed in an annoyed tone and pouted her lower lip.
"That hurts" he said sarcastically placing his hand on his heart. "Now… if I don't recall, you were supposed to invite Inuyasha out to the movies and dinner at 1:00" he grinned evilly and took a seat next to her. Kagome tried a fast one and reached out for the book in his hands. He jerked his hand back and made a tisking sound.
"I am stunned. I expected better from you, but here are pulling fast ones on me…" he looked like he would cry but quickly perked up and smiled. Kagome frowned.
"Well you stole it from me first you hypocrite!" she shot back angrily and
reached out for the book again. This time Miroku didn't have enough time to
react and sighed in defeat as Kagome laid back and started reading from where
she had left off.
"Would you just PLEASE go now? You are wasting time just sitting here doing nothi-"
Kagome cut him off mid-word. "Matter-of-factly I am reading, reading is not doing nothing" she replied with a flat un-amused tone.
Miroku looked deflated and tired of her laziness. "Would you just stop arguing with me? I thought that you wanted Inuyasha to change, and sitting here reading isn't helping along his bad attitude"
"Well I do b-"
"No buts, go. Now."
"Oh come on…"
"Now."
"Just another minu-"
"NOW"
"Geesh, no need to get your undies in a bunch grandpa!" Kagome put her book down onto a nearby coffee table and dragged herself into her bedroom to change. Miroku had followed her in, and was soon limping out in pain.
"PERVERT"
Miroku rubbed his leg painfully. "I just wanted to make sure that you were
actually getting ready" he explained lamely. Kagome rolled her eyes from within
the other room and and laughed.
*
Inuyasha answered the dorm room door only seconds after a few raps were sounded on it and frowned in annoyance.
"What do you want?" he said with a small glare. Kagome ignored his rude greeting and small glare and walked in the room without being invited in.
"Care to join me for a movie and dinner tonight?" she said it softly, but not so quiet that he couldn't hear it. Inuyasha was taken back a little mentally but regained his normal state immediately. It was something about her voice that sent shivers down his spine whenever he heard it.
"W-what?" he accidentally squeaked and kicked himself mentally like there wasn't anything stupider he could have said to her.
Kagome laughed in her mind. Is he really that stupid? "I said, would you like to join me for a movie and dinner?" this time it was said a little more forcefully.
Inuyasha stuttered. What the hell should I say?! "Umm...w-well… uhh" he stuttered some more before Kagome got the wrong idea and pouted her lower lip.
"Oh okay… well I see then, I guess I will just be leaving" she lowered her gaze and started the water works as well as she could without it making seem fake. Inuyasha slapped his forehead.
Oh god she's crying... What am I going to do? "NO! Don't leave, I'll go, yes! I will go" Oh real smooth… THAT was NOT what you were supposed to do!
Kagome quickly stopped fake crying and smiled. "Okay then, just get ready and I will wait for you" she said happily. I can NOT believe I am doing this…
Inuyasha muttered a few curses and dragged himself into his room to change. I can NOT believe I am doing this…

"Hey wench, what are we doing again?" Inuyasha sneered and buckled himself into Kagome's new BMV and cranked up the music. The song "Yeah" by Ludacris, Lil John, and Usher blared through the parking lot and started getting stares from strangers nearby. Kagome reached over and turned the radio off angrily.
"You retard! Do you LIKE people thinking you're deaf?! And my name is NOT wench!" Kagome buckled herself in also, and started up the ignition. Inuyasha had ignored Kagome completely and was brainlessly staring out the car window.
What a jerk
"What a bitch"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
Inuyasha clamped a hand over his mouth and tried to look innocent. "Did I say that aloud?"
"Apparently so!" Kagome backed out of the parking space with steam pouring out of her ears. (hypothetically people)
"Oh, okay then" Inuyasha turned his attention back out the window and didn't say a word for the rest of the drive… except…
"Bitch"
"INUYASHA!"
"It slipped"
*
The BMW slowed to a stop in front of the AMC8 and the two teenagers piled out of the car. Kagome huffily approached the ticket booth and paid for BOTH of their tickets. When Kagome asked for Inuyasha to pay her back, he just pretended not to hear her and headed into the theatre. Kagome strolled into the large theatre and spotted Inuyasha who had already found the seat toward the front and decided to sit next to him.
When Inuyasha saw Kagome about to sit in the seat next to him he put his foot on the seat. "No"
Kagome looked puzzled. "No what?" she gave him a deadly glare.
"No, you are not sitting next to me, sit on the next seat over" he commanded. Kagome had the urge to pound him into the cement theatre floor but thought otherwise. If she was going to try and change Inuyasha, it wasn't going to be by fighting with him.
"Fine" she said flatly and sat down 2 seats over from him. The movie "You got served" started and the lights dimmed and went out.
About halfway through the movie Inuyasha started getting hungry and Kagome swore she could have hear his stomach.
"Bitch"
Grr… "WHAT"
"SHHH!!!!!" the crowd behind her started throwing popcorn around her and some got stuck in her hair.
"Sorry…. Now, what?" she said it quieter this time hoping not to anger the rest of the audience again.
"I'm hungry get me food" he ordered. Kagome glared at him.
"No"
"Get me food wench, or I'm leaving" he stood up halfway proving that he was serious and Kagome panicked.
"FINE!"
"SHHHHH!!!!"
*
Kagome ran out of the theatre trying to avoid objects that
being thrown at her from disturbing the movie. She had gum and popcorn all in
her hair and on her clothes. Someone even threw a half full bottle of pepsi at her head. She rubbed the spot where she had gotten
hit and winced. She waited in line for her turn and attempted to pick the gum
out of her hair as best she could..
"Can I help you?" the cashier merrily smiled and sought for Kagome's attention. She cleared her throat. "Ahem… may I take your order?"
Kagome jumped and apologized. "Oh, I am sorry I wasn't paying attention. Umm, I will have a large popcorn please" she asked politely and paid the cashier the money. The so-called cashier named "Rin" courtesy of her name tag handed Kagome the large popcorn and frowned.
"What happened in there?"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "You don't want to know" she assured her and turned to leave.
"No, wait" Rin called back. "I think I know… is it Inuyasha?" Kagome stopped dead in her tracks and turned back around.
"H-how d-"
"I dated his older brother. I know a hanyou's girlfriend when I see one" she explained softly. She pulled her apron off and shot a glance at the manager. "I'm going on break!" she called and left the counter as the manager took over her job.
"Hanyou…?"
"Yes, didn't you hear me? Hanyou" Rin repeated. She threw the hat she was wearing and tossed it over the counter and it landed on the floor with a thud.
"No, I heard you just fine. You mean to tell me that Inuyasha is a Hanyou?! ..oh god… I shouldn't be fake dating something so dangerous!" Kagome had a look of terror on her face as she thought of all of the times that Youkai and Hanyou had broken into their house and robbed them of the little or nothing that they had.
Rin noticed the state of panic in her tone and quirked a brow. "…Is there something wrong?"
Kagome gulped. "Why aren't you scared of Hanyou? …They're so dangerous…" Kagome was cut off.
"Don't be silly. The Hanyous that you are thinking of are those low life no good monsters that roam the city freely. Its mainly just one group of them together that terrorize everyone around the city. If my memory serves me correct, the leader of them all is a guy by the name of Naraku" Rin shook her hands in wild gestures as she went on explaining. "Not all Hanyou or Youkai are bad, really. Some are just born good but fall into the wrong group of friends and too become evil and nasty along with them. Inuyasha is one of those rare few who has been in complete isolation from all the gangs and bad youkai for practically his entire childhood"
Kagome rubbed her right temple vigorously. "So you mean that Inuyasha isn't dangerous?"
Rin shook her head in response. "Well... I never said that..." she smiled a devious grin and quickly changed the subject. "Let me guess, the movie is half way in and just got to the good parts, but Inuyasha wants you to get him something to eat because he is the ignorant self centered jerk he usually is and is too lazy to go do it himself" Rin smiled already knowing that was exactly what had happened.
"H-how did you know?" Kagome's eyes widened in astonishment. She glanced over her shoulder quickly to make sure Inuyasha hadn't come out to see what was taking her so long, but no sign of him was within sight.
Rin too shot a quick look around and redirected her attention to Kagome. "Well you see, whenever I see a girl walk out of a movie theatre when its half way through, covered in various snacks and popcorn, its pretty obvious who she came to the movie with…"
"Inuyasha" Kagome butted in. "How many times has this happened?" she pulled a wad of gum out of her hair successfully without getting much of it stuck in there for good, and threw it over her shoulder.
Rin laughed. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you" she warned her. "The number is beyond me"
Kagome crossed her arms across her chest and did another quick look for Inuyasha. "Go on, tell me" she was about to launch into a fit of giggles like a little school girl hearing the latest gossip around school. Rin gave her a 'you don't want to know...' look, but Kagome nodded for her to spit it out.
"34 to be exact"
Kagome's mouth nearly dropped through the floor. "Okay…"
"Yea I know, it's just a large number. He comes in here so often with a different girl. Yuka and I have been keeping tally of how many girls he's brought in here and have ended up just the same as you are now" Rin frowned. "I am so sorry you have to go through this just for his heart"
Kagome suddenly burst out laughing as hard as humanly possible. As soon as she caught her breathe she straightened up. "Do you actually think that I am really going out with him?"
"I don't know, you tell me" Rin deadpanned. Kagome shot Rin a serious look. "Oh, you're not? Then why are you hanging out with him?"
"One word= Miroku"
"Oh"
"Oh is right"
"He thinks that you can change Inuyasha for the good… blah blah blah, I've heard this story quite a few times too"
Kagome rolled her eyes. "This is hopeless… if so many before me couldn't do it, then why do I even bother? He's just too much of a stubborn jerk" she walked away from Rin for a second and popped her head into the theatre. Inuyasha was still sitting in his seat, but he looked a little annoyed and very hungry. Kagome smiled and strolled back over to where Rin was now sitting on a bench.
"You know what? I'm tired. I think I am going to go home and take a long nap, okay?" Kagome pulled her jacket over her shoulders and slung the bag on her arm.
Rin's mouth dropped. "You're leaving him here?! …whoa, no one has ever left Inuyasha before. It's just the other way around…"
"Yeah I know, that's why I am leaving. He can walk home and buy his own damn food for all I care. The first thing Inuyasha needs to learn is how to take care of himself and stop being such a lazy ass" Kagome turned to leave but Rin grabbed her arm. Kagome spun around to face the girl.
Rin winked and smiled excitedly. "Good luck"
With that, Rin let go and Kagome made her way out of the movie theatre to her car. She started up the engine and drove away without a single care in the world.

Sango lounged in the armchair against the wall and took a deep breathe. Silence, exactly how she liked it. A moment later she reached over to a nearby table and picked up the book Kagome was reading before she left with Inuyasha.
"Gone with the wind…" she said aloud to no one in particular. "Whoa… this thing is pretty lengthy! Might as well start it now" she opened up the book to the first page and was only able to get half way through it when the front door opened, and then slammed shut. She looked up in a hurry to find a gleaming Kagome prance over to the couch and fall onto it lazily.
"Where's Inuyasha?" Sango had gone back to reading the page she was on and waited patiently for Kagome to answer.
"He's at the movies" she replied flatly and closed her eyes. "ugh… so tired…"
"Wait, I thought that you were supposed to be with him" she said pointing out the obvious. The book was pretty boring so she closed the cover and set it back down onto the table where she had first found it.
Kagome stretched her arms above her head. "Yup" she simply responded. Kagome yawned again and stood up briskly. "I am tired, I think I am going to go take a nap now…" she left the room and plopped down onto her soft feathery bed. She hugged a feather pillow tightly and slowly drifted off to sleep. She couldn't be happier.
Well at least until Inuyasha showed up.

Tehe!! ..well anyways, If you haven't read my bio page then you wouldn't know why it has been taking me so long to update this story… Well first off, my mom just got her major surgery done a few days ago. Yes I know that I have already said "she got surgery done" but those were small surgeries to fix things until the actual big one. Which was a few days ago. She has been on the couch all day and I have been waiting on her hand and foot to her every need. It's very demanding and I have basically no personal life right now because I have to take care of her. I don't know how she makes it through the day without me when I am at school, but she does it.
Well if this is any inconvenience to you guys I am really sorry but after my mom, homework comes next and well I have been getting loads of it lately not to mention the projects are starting back up again soon, so that means these things will be tough to write until my mom gets better.
Xxoo bye now!!
