When All Else Fails
Chapter- 4
Kagome sits in the corner of the couch watching Miroku rush around. "You know its 7:30 right?"
"Yes Kagome, I know!" Miroku grumbles under his breath.
"Get your ass out the door then!" Inuyasha walks out of his room.
"I'm not a dumbass Yasha, I kind of figured that out." Miroku grunts and stops to shake his head at Inuyasha, then looks at his watch. "I'm out. See you guys later tonight... or in the morning." He smirks.
"Is that all you think about Miroku?" Kagome smacks the back of her hand to her forehead.
"Apparently."
"Thanks for your support guys. It really means a lot." He begins to walk out the door. "Be good." He glares at Inuyasha. Inuyasha responds with a cocky smirk. "I don't even want to think of that." Miroku covers his face with his hands. "Just don't." Kagome looks between the two.
"What did I get myself into?" She laughs.
"Just don't Inuyasha." Miroku walks through the door and leaves. Kagome hears Inuyasha chuckle.
"What?" Kagome raises an eyebrow.
"He expects me--" He pauses "Nothing." He says quickly and looks away from her. Kagome's second eyebrow reaches the height of the first.
"You think I'm that easy?!"
"You dress like it." He stares at a fallen bra strap.
"Who do I have to impress? I'm around my cousin and you. There's no reason to be sophisticated all the time."
"Using big words now?" He smiles at her scowl. "You have no need I understand. But you seem to wear the least amount of clothing possible. Its not like I walk around in my boxers." (A/N: Boxers or briefs? ^.~)
"You could you know." She laughs. "Its not like I have virgin eyes." He gives her a questioning look.
"You mean your not..." He stops himself.
"No! I am, but I have a brother that's only a few years younger than I am. He walks around half naked all the time, I've lost count. And I've had a boyfriend that had no modesty at all when I was around." She shrugs and watches him sit on the opposite side of the couch.
"So you're saying that you've seen a guy, but a guy has never seen you?" She silently laughs and shakes her head at him. "Is that a no?"
"Other than a bathing suit, but that doesn't leave much to the imagination, now does it?"
"Really?" Kagome nods. "Wow, want to go swimming?" Her jaw drops and she hits his shoulder.
"Your bad." She teases.
"No, really, there's a pool right around the corner, not too far from here." She shrugs.
"Why not. Besides, we have 3 weeks of Miroku ditching us."
"Yeah." He stands up and offers kagome his hand to help her up. She gladly takes is and he pulls her up... A little too hard. She falls into him and the momentum knocked him over as well. They start laughing and Kagome rests her head on Inuyashas chest.
Without thinking kagome mumbled. "I could get used to this." Her eyes fly open. "Did I just say that out loud?" She blushes causing Inuyasha to tilt his head at her.
"Yep."
"I... I..." He places a finger on her lips.
"Shh." He smiles. She just stares at his eyes for a minute, then goes to get up. She only gets about as far as sitting up. He looks at her. 'Wow, I lucked out...Thanks Miroku, I owe you one.' "Go get ready." She gets up and carefully helps him up, making sure she wasn't the one pinned to the ground this time.
"Goes for you too." She smirks and turns to go back into her room. Inuyasha watched her begin to walk away; he couldn't control his temptation and placed a nice, hard smack on Kagome's ass. She spins around with her mouth wide open. He snickers and runs into his room, with kagome close on his tail. He closed the door behind her and took her by surprise when he grabbed her around the waist and pins her on the bed. "You are in so much trouble when Miroku gets home!" She mumbles into the sheets.
"What was that, couldn't hear you." He growls in her ear. The growl sounded familiar... Too familiar for Kagome's liking; causing her whole body to tense up under him. He felt her tense and flips her over still using his position and weight to keep the upper hand. His smile quickly dissipated when he saw Kagome's scared expression in her eyes. "What's wrong?" He becomes worried. "Did I do something wrong?" She shakes her head in a silent no. The look of fear was still etched into her face as she stares up at him. "I shouldn't have pushed you." His eyes wander to the side of her head.
"Its not that..." She whispers, causing his eyes to snap back to her face. She chuckles as she brings a hand to touch his cheek, but in never quite made it. "Its nothing you did, really. It just reminded me of what a guy sounded like when he growled at me like that." Her hands flops back to the bed.
"Kagome, I hate to tell you this...But you have to know. And I'm really sorry that I have to... Only hanyou's and youkai's can growl like that..." He hangs his head and closes his eyes.
"You mean..."
"Yeah, I'm a hanyou." He refused to look at her.
"I don't care." She smirks and the look he gives her. "Really, I'm shocked but I really don't care." He sets his on her stomach and looks up at her.
"Really?"
"Yes really. Come on, let's go to the pool."
"M.hn." He shuts his eyes.
"You have to get off me first." She starts laughing, causing him to laugh. "Really, get off." She tries to get out from under him, but fails. Inuyasha rolls off her and looks at her.
"I'm sorry." She looks back at him.
"What for?"
"Just anything I have done or will do to be a complete jerk." She nods and gets up and heads toward her room running through her thoughts of what just happened, and what would've happened if she hadn't froze and stopped him. Kagome digs through her bag to find her black 2-peice. She laughs at herself.
"I can't believe I'm actually doing this." She puts on her suit followed by the clothes she was wearing and steps out into the living room, and sees Inuyasha all ready.
"Took you long enough." She sticks her tongue out at him.
"You have less to worry about covering up."
"Not nessicarly." He smiles.
"Oh god Inuyasha. Don't even start."
"I win." He teases.
"Bull shit!" She squeaks. Inuyasha sarcastically gasps.
"Kagome, Swearing?!" He gasps again.
"Screw you Inuyasha. Really, go screw yourself."
"If I could I would."
"You are one sick bastard." She walks into a protruding wall and starts laughing.
"There's a wall there."
"It jumped in front of me I swear!" She laughs. He walks past her snagging her around the waist, tingeing her cheeks pink.
"See its right over there." He points to the pool across the street.
"Why didn't I notice that?"
"I don't know, why didn't you?" He looks down at her. "You really are tiny." He leads her across the street.
"Why? Didn't you notice before?" He opens the gate.
"I don't know." He quickly disposes of his shirt and jumps into the water, sending his hair every which way. "Come on!" Kagome rolls her eyes.
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah." She turns her back to him and peels off her shirt, adjusts her top, then removes her shorts. "You happy?" She turns around and watches Inuyasha's eyes.
'Wow.' "Get in the pool Kagome." His eyes catch on her tiny waist. 'Did I luck out or what.'
"What are you staring at?" She places her hands on her hips accentuating her already thin waist that captured Inuyashas fancy.
"Nothing." He backs up to the opposite side of the pool. Kagome cautiously sticks her foot in the water to test the temperature (A/N: it's a chick thing. -.-'). "Just come in the water slow poke! It's not going to kill you."
"Speak for yourself." She sticks out her tongue at him. She quickly slides in the refreshing water, and realizes she can't touch the ground (A/N: don't you hate that?) and goes under. She gets her head above water and wipes the water off her face. "I hate being so short." She glares at the 6' marker on the wall.
"Better than being extremely tall. Damn, I would hate that if I was a chick."
"Being short isn't a piece of cake either." She struggles to keep her head above the waters surface. Inuyasha lends her a hand and guides her to the edge.
"What a great night." He looks up to the darkening sky for a minute. A sudden splash of water in his face causes Inuyasha to jump. almost letting out an eep.
"You little." He begins chasing (A/N: you know what I mean.) her around the pool. Inuyasha finally catches Kagome and grabs her by the shoulders. He begins chuckling to himself.
"Oh no, you better- -" She gets pushed under water. Inuyasha quickly escapes to the other side of the pool trying to avoid the wrath of the furious, yet playful, Kagome. She finally brings her head above the surface coughing. After a few more spasms of laughter, Inuyasha realized Kagome had not ceased coughing. Coughing up some water, Kagome started not feeling too good, but she shrugged it off thinking it was just the water down her nose. "I'm going to get you back Inu-chan!" She begins trailing him around the pool.
"Inu-Chan?" He questions as he jumps out of the pool, keeping a close eye on Kagome. "Come and get me if you want me!" He begins running around the pool deck. All he saw was Kagome going head first into the pool, like she was going to cut across and get him that way.but something didn't add up. Kagome had not resurfaced. His laughter quickly ceased as he became worried. After waiting what seemed like an eternity, and kagome was not coming up, he decided to go in after her. He knew he had to move quickly, she had already been under for a while now and he didn't want to take any chances. Inuyasha had watched too many medical shows where kids have drowned and he didn't want that to happen. He pulls her out of the water and lays her on the ground, looking for any possible explanation.
