Paying Up

Disclaimer: Ok, now this disclaimer crap is a very stupid concept. If I even thought I owned InuYasha, would I be writing a FANfiction (emphasis on the word 'fan')? Answer: no. That's right, I fully understand that I do not own 'InuYasha' in any way, shape or form. Therefore, by stating this publicly on several accounts, no one can sue me. I have no claim to anything… except the idea for this fanfiction.

AN: My stupid [*smirk*] friend Emily Chan demands credit (and cheap promotion) for forcing me to write this story. Hey, I was gonna write it anywayz… so whatever. She just wants everyone to know that she gave me the idea for turning this into a fanfic… the general 'in my pants' idea was always mine though. I was all like: 'Hey, in my pants!' and stuff to my friends while we were going home on the train… then I started reading some excerpts from crummy American literature school books adding 'in my pants' to the end of everything. I don't know why, so don't ask.

Don't kill me! My school is EVIL!! Plus, I had such bad writers block, it effected the way I wrote my school notes!!!

Thanx 4 da wundaful reviews! I luv u all so much!! Please review again… and recommend the fic to friends…(yeah so? I'm greedy!  ;P)  I LUV REVIEWS! (hint, hint)

Oh and sorry for all my spelling errors… I guess I was typing too fast or something… not thinking. And the part where it says: 'She just turned on her heel and headed back to the victory,' back in the first half. Yeah, that was supposed to say 'village'.

Oh yeah, the cheap promotion… I think Emily's penname and xanga is 'Kristall Requiem'… I dunno if she wrote any fics yet, though. Ah, who cares… tee, hee, hee!

This should be the second half and last chapter to this fic. Look out for a short Maru one though (if I get enough reviews from this final chapter). I love him too much not to put him through the same torture.

Here we go….

Kagome made her way back to the hut after strolling the forest a while. She had calmed down a lot, which is what she'd set out to do in the first place.

Now her plan(s) was well thought out and ready to put into action.

Once she entered the little home, she kneeled by her bag… ignoring any other occupant of the room.

InuYasha watched curiously from his position, leaning against the wall across from her.

They were the only two people in the room… but Miroku was sitting just outside the entrance to the hut. InuYasha sensed him easily.

Kagome simply kept ignoring his blatant stare, checking to see if she brought any of her textbooks.

Plan # 1. Ignore, ignore, ignore.

InuYasha looked up curiously at the young raven-haired girl.

"What'cha doin' in my pants?" he chirped.

She said nothing. Didn't even spare a glance or a glare at the boy.

"Okaaaay in my pants…" he said, when she didn't answer.

He continued to watch her, becoming apparently angrier with every passing moment of silence, until a low growl broke from his throat.

She left the room still ignoring him… going outside to sit in the company of Miroku and Kirara.

So, she'd rather talk to the monk than with him?

InuYasha snorted and headed outside of the hut as well to confront the girl who was presently playing with the fire-cat.

Kagome looked up at him for a moment and promptly turned her head, as if she'd never seen him in the first place, instead continuing to pet Kirara.

He frowned and put his face directly in the path of hers.

Her eyes widened for a moment, and she turned her head to the side, trying to avoid his gaze.

He growled and pulled her chin towards him, looking down at her with fiery golden eyes.

She growled back and jerked her head away from his grasp.

What the hell! He was supposed to be sulking and feeling guilty for saying those dirty words and being ecchi! He was supposed to think he scared her!

Okay, so Plan # 1 wasn't working.

Proceed to Plan # 2, backup code V63. Steal the enemy's personality.

"Do not touch me," Kagome said, her smoky eyes narrowed, as InuYasha moved forward to reach for her.

The hanyou promptly dropped his hand in shock at her cold demeanor.

"What… in my pants?"

"You are not to touch me, unless I initiate the contact," she stated, with her arms crossed over her chest, in a matter-of-fact tone of voice.

"You must be kidding me in my pants!" he gritted between out between clenched teeth.

She looked at him blankly, "I kid you not... in your pants or otherwise."

"Keh"

"Well, 'Keh' back at you," Kagome muttered.

"Listen wen--"

"If you 'wench' me one more time, I will see to it that there will be nothing remaining in your pants," Kagome interrupted with a snap.

InuYasha swallowed, but tried to hide his fear.

Kagome can be really scary when provoked.

He nodded quietly and backed away slowly.

Kagome sighed relaxed a little.

At least the second plan was working fairly well.

"Ahem, so, Kagome-sama…"

Great.

The monk...

Forgot about him.

Plan # 1 could work for him… if she left now.

Therefore, she proceeded. Walked away from Miroku and towards the green trees of the forest.

 That's it, from here on Plan # 3 is fully in effect. It's the only way to exact revenge properly!

Kagome thought about her options, repeatedly going over any and all possible actions.

'If I continue to use Plan # 2, he'll just get angry and ignore me' the girl thought.

So Plan # 3 it was.

This should be fun.

"Um, Kagome… in my pants?"

Speak of the devil…

"We need to talk, I know, " Kagome agreed to the silent suggestion.

InuYasha nodded.

Kagome directed the hanyou to a log, where they both sat. She knew Miroku followed them… but at this point, she didn't really care.

"Kagome, I just… I'm sorry in my pants," said the silver-haired boy quietly.

Awe, dammit! Now he was gonna make her feel bad about what she's gotta do!

"S'okay… um, InuYasha? I've been thinking…"

" 'Bout what in my pants?"

"Heh, now just add an 's' to the end of that second word…"

"Um, okaaay…in my pants" he seemed to become a little nervous.

"Well, anyway… it's just that… I've been meaning to ask you… do you like me?"

First off, why was she thinking about the contents of his pants and secondly, what, the hell kind of question was that to ask?

"Well, um…I--wait, why are you asking me this now in my pants?"

"InuYasha," Kagome sighed exasperated, standing up to lean on one hip with a hand raised in front of her as if contemplating something, "just answer the question!"

"I would, if you would clarify what it is, in my pants!"

"That sounded so utterly wrong! Look, I'm trying to say, do you find me attractive?"

"Uh, um, err…"

"Those are not words InuYasha!" Kagome reprimanded.

"Heh, heh, uh, to be totally honest, which I absolutely hate to be… I think you're totally cute in my pants," InuYasha answered with a heavy blush, lowering his eyes to the ground.

Was he trying to say it like that?

"Just cute?" Kagome asked with a pout.

InuYasha raised an eyebrow.

" 'Just cute' isn't good enough for you; then what do you want in my pants?"

"I really wish you would stop saying that! At least consider your words! I'm not saying that being 'cute' is a bad thing but… I was hoping for a little more than, as I said, 'just cute', "Kagome spoke.

InuYasha was bright red, as he understood her interpretation of what he meant to say.

He discreetly sniffed the air for her scent, just to be sure. She wasn't in heat, then why was she acting like it?

"Uhh… what exactly were you hoping for… in my pants?" InuYasha asked nervously as he tried to slowly back out of the secluded clearing.

He could've sworn he'd heard the monk's laugh…

Stupid hentai probably was laughing in his stupid little bush or wherever the heck he was hiding.

Inuyasha snapped his attention back on the girl before him as she began to speak.

"I dunno, something like sexy maybe…" Kagome said as she enclosed upon the hanyou.

The boy with dog-ears continued backing up, searching for an escape until he was pushed against a tree. Kagome continued closing the gap between them until no space remained.

"What? Don't you think I have any sex appeal?"

InuYasha swallowed audibly.

"Do I really have to answer that in my pants?" he asked.

Kagome smiled wickedly and pressed towards him, "Well, I guess you don't really have to be in your pants when you answer."

InuYasha thought his eyes had rolled back, as he stuttered incomprehensibly.

Kagome giggled, still latched onto him.

And, then Miroku popped out of seemingly nowhere and dropped on the floor rolling with laughter.

When he noticed InuYasha's evil glare he immediately got up and excused himself, explaining he must've got lost on his way back from finding a place to relieve himself.

No sooner had the monk gotten more than twenty steps away than did he erupt a very girly scream from what, the couple guessed, appeared to be fear or surprise.

He quickly came running back, yelling the arrival of Naraku.

Kagome immediately backed away from InuYasha; he pushed her behind himself, ready to fight as the man in baboon skin arrived.

"Hello, hanyou," the evil man spoke, "long time no see, I suppose."

Kagome sighed and leaned against a tree as she prepared to sit back and watch the fight.

It was definitely the real Naraku and InuYasha knew it, so chances were he wouldn't even let her speak to the man.

"Yeah, long time no see and last time you'll be seeing anything in my pants," InuYasha stated before heading at the other hanyou with a fully transformed Tetsusaiga.

Naraku parried his attack, his own hand gripping the huge blade, "now, can you please tell me when was the first time I saw anything in your pants?"

InuYasha backed off him with an annoyed clicking sound.

Miroku should be castrated for the humiliation he'd been facing.

"Very funny in my pants"

"I'll bet it is," Naraku stated cockily.

"You know, that is getting really old really fast in my pants," InuYasha stated annoyed with overly used comeback.

"Only because you're half human, maybe you should use it sometime before it becomes of shriveled up from age," Naraku chuckled.

"You're sicker than I thought; oh, and, just so you know, it gets used sufficiently, not that it's any of your business in my pants," the silver-haired hanyou spoke.

"InuYasha!" Kagome roared. She knew he was doing something with that corpse!

The half inu-youkai turned to face Kagome as he rolled his eyes towards the sky, "not with Kikyo in my pants."

"So then who!?" she screeched.

"That's not important right now in my pants!" InuYasha stated tensely as he allowed his eyes to drift to Naraku and then back to her.

"Fine, but after this, you and I are going to have a little talk mister!" Kagome yelled, crossing her arms and tapping her foot.

InuYasha let out an annoyed sound and faced his opponent.

"Oooh, got'cha in trouble with the missy there, hmm?" Naraku smirked.

"You'd better shut up Naraku, before I make you beg for mercy," Kagome yelled out.

The two members of her group stared at her in shock. That was so out of character!

"Oh please, spare me, human! What could you possibly do to me?" the dark hanyou chuckled, "Wait I take that back, you probably could have me begging for something." Naraku finished with a wink.

InuYasha looked red. Kagome looked white. And Miroku looked blue.

But only from holding in the laughter that begged to escape him.

"Look, if you're gonna just stand there and throw insults at me all day, then I don't have any time for you in my pants," InuYasha said annoyed.

"Of course, because your pants is the busiest place in all of Japan!" he threw back.

"Ooh that was really good in my pants," the gold-eyed boy stated, sarcasm laced in his tone.

"I bet you don't get to say that very often," Naraku spoke again.

"More than you do in my pants," InuYasha continued.

"Grrrrrr" Kagome was heard in the background.

"Just so you know Kikyo wasn't really any good in my pants sweety," Naraku turned from Kagome's direction to the silver-haired hanyou, "and I really don't think I'll kill you… at least not today, you just amuse me too much." Naraku disappeared in a thick purple fog, leaving in his wake, three confused people.

"Well," Miroku spoke, "that was random."

Sunset was approaching rather quickly and for a while, things seemed quiet. Too quiet even.

InuYasha was sitting in a branch of a tree, observing his friends, just below.

Sango was due to arrive with Shippo and Kirara after sunrise the next day, and InuYasha thanked every force he knew of that they would arrive after the bet was off. Too less people for him to embarrassed in front of.

InuYasha sat up at the slight sense of youki arriving. Add another very unfortunate name to that list of witnesses.

Less than two minutes later, a whirlwind arrived, stopping in front of Kagome.

"Yo," Kouga announced as caught the raven-haired girl's attention.

"Eto, Kouga-kun?" she questioned.

"Hey, just passing through and thought I'd stop by to see how my woman was doing," he spoke, a smile displayed on his face.

"Heh, heh. Um… fine, I guess," she stated a little uncomfortably.

"Ah, Kagome, so soft spoken, you will indeed be a wonderful wife," Kouga became serious as he held her hand.

"Like hell, she will in my pants," InuYasha snorted.

"Who's talking about you or your pants Dog-turd?" Kouga glared.

"Ignore him Kouga; he already gets enough action in his pants, as he said before," Kagome threw the red-clad boy a dark look.

"Keh, jealous one, aren't we in my pants?" the inu-hanyou said, his arms crossed.

"Look who's talking!" the girl from the future replied.

"Don't worry Kagome, he probably can't satisfy anybody with that tiny thing in his pants", Kouga whispered.

"Hey, I heard that and size doesn't matter, not that I have a size problem in my pants," InuYasha yelled.

"Well, sorry love but I must go," the wolf demon, stated in his normal voice.

He turned around, coming face to face with InuYasha, then with a smirk, turned back to Kagome and kissed her briefly on the lips before running off in another whirlwind.

"Bastard in my pants!" InuYasha called enraged, although Kouga was already out of sight.

Kagome was in a state of shock. She pressed her fingers to her lips and her cheeks became pink.

The golden-eyed boy turned to her, an upset look upon his face, before walking off to the side of her, jumping into the canopy of trees.

"Again, I must say, that was random," Miroku spoke a little bewildered at the whole event.

"Wha-huh?" the raven haired girl was confused.

InuYasha was staring straight ahead angry thoughts running through his head.

The sun was now below the horizon; only streaks of gold were left to signify its departure. The sky far above the earth's surface was quickly changing to violet.

She didn't even try to push him away! How could she! Maybe she really does like him!

"InuYasha," a female voice called out.

"Go away in my pants," he spoke.

"You don't have to say it anymore," she explained.

"Huh?" he said looking down at her.

"It's sunset, the bet's off remember," she looked away from the horizon to smile up at him.

"How'd you--"

"Miroku explained it to me; you know, it's really not smart to allow open ended bets with him," she giggled.

He jumped down from his tree, favoring it's base more than the branch now that he wanted to talk to the girl from the future.

"I never thought he would do something like that though; he never said he wanted a prize," InuYasha said quietly.

"Any gambling is done in false hope if you're up against Miroku-sama," she said coming to sit by his side.

It became very quiet. They sat together in silence enjoying the peace and company while observing the arrangement of colors in the sky turn darker and disappear. The stars came out then, shining brightly, the way they did only on certain special nights.

"Why did you let him do it?" he questioned, squinting his eyes in confusion.

"I didn't. I was too shocked to move I guess. I still can't believe he had the nerve to do it," she said leaning her head against his shoulder.

"That sounds familiar," he spoke.

"I'll bet," she looked annoyed.

"Hm, you really are jealous though, aren't you?"

"Of what?"

"Don't play stupid with me, Kagome! You know what or who I'm talking about," he said.

"Kikyo, right? I guess maybe… I kind of am, but so are you with Kouga," she stated.

"Keh"

"InuYasha!"

"Okay… maybe,"

"I really don't know what I'm going to do with you," she smiled.

"I've got a couple of ideas," he smirked.

"InuYasha!" she shrieked.

"Hey, I'm a guy!" he said in his defense.

"Baka, so what were you supposed to get, had you won that bet with Miro-kun?"

"Miro-kun?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Just answer the question!"

"How many times are you gonna say that?"

"As many times as I am forced to!"

"You know, I think Miro-kun will be very happy to know you have a pet name for him,"

"Shut up,"

"I don't think so my feisty little Ka-chan,"

"Uruse Inu-chan,"

"Ooooh sexy,"

"Oh now you say it!" she yelled with a blush.

"Whatever Ka, baby" he shrugged.

"You are not getting out of this that easily!"

"Awe dammit!"

"Answer my question!"

"Fine… Iwassupposedtogetasubduingbraceletforyouandhewouldkeepmylittlesecret," he said in one breath.

"What?"

"Oops, too bad, I said it once I'm not gonna say it again!"

"InuYasha don't make me S-I-T you!"

He sucked his teeth making a clicking sound and spoke again, slower.

"He was supposed to make me a subduing bracelet for you and he promised to keep my little… secret,"

"InuYasha! You do not have an understandable reason to subdue me!"

"What about when Kouga's around or when you try to leave us! I have more than just one suitable reason to subdue you!"

"Look, none of this matters, because you don't have a bracelet for me, so whatever!"

"Keh, I'll get one someday," he dismissed.

"Sure… so what little secret?"

"If I told you it, wouldn't be a secret, now would it?"

"Oh come on!"

"No Kagome, we all have our own secrets," he said looking up to the stars.

"Not me"

"Yeah sure"

"Serious!"

"Mmhm"

"Listen, I'm not gonna tell you, so get over it!"

"Fine meanie!"

He sighed, "I'll give you a hint: it's about you."

"Huh?"

"That's all you're getting'"

"That's not fair!"

"Yes it is!"

"No it's not it!"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"NO!"

"Yes"

"NO!!"

"Yes"

"NO!!!"

"Yes"

"NO!!!!"

"Jeez, don't get your panties in a bunch! No need for yelling," InuYasha said.

"Ugh, fine, be that way," Kagome pouted, throwing her arms across her chest.

"Maybe I'll tell you one day," he continued.

"Really?" she brightened up with a smile.

"Yeah; you know, you're cute when you smile," he winked at her with his own smile before getting up and walking back to the village.

"So are you."

Consummatum Est.

(Owaru)

AN: that's it… hope you enjoyed it! And yeah, I know the ending was Ranma-ish but I just couldn't help it. I love when InuYasha acts like him!

Look out for "The Spell" (if I keep that title). It's the Sessho one I'm planning. If I change the title, just look for my pen name page, it'll be there (you'll recognize the summary).

Again, I luv reviews... It's the only reason I write, and remember I just started writing! I need the encouragement!
