Disclaimer: I only dream that I own Inuyasha…
Chapter 11
Angel Standing By
SELL SELL SELL
The credits roll, the camera pans/ And in the midst our hero stands/ He starts to speak, then folds his hands in prayer/ An awkward pause, then what's my line? / There's nothing left to say this time/ And what would you say to a bad guy who's not there? / In terms of roman numerals, / He's IV league with Roman Palanski/ He'd win an Oscar every time if he was only given the chance…
The Barenaked Ladies
Kagome opens the door to see Yura and Eumi standing there in identical (or nearly) costumes. She smiles.
"Hi guys!" She moves aside so that they can enter her shrine. Automatically the two notice Inuyasha sitting eating his ramen hastily. They race over to him and pull him out of his seat. Yura takes his hand and Eumi quickly takes his ears and rubs it.
"Hello!" They said with large, lovesick eyes. Inuyasha is instantly confused. He'd never met any one that was instantly infatuated with him. Kagome stands feet behind the crazed Yura and Eumi. She quickly became angry.
'They're ignoring me!!!' She thought angrily. Inuyasha saw her and became saddened. He didn't like seeing her angry, but he couldn't get away from the yearning girls in front of him. Kagome soon walked off alone. Inuyasha pulled himself away from the clingy girls. He hurried over to the distraught Kagome and sat down beside her.
"Gomen ne?!" He nearly questions, unsure if he had done anything wrong or not. Yura and Eumi soon enter the room. They sit down next to Kagome and smile.
"So who's this?" They shrug toward Inuyasha. Kagome blushes then shakes her head giggling.
"It's my friend Inuyasha." She states calmly. The other three sigh, all saddened by her reply. Inuyasha was upset because he wished she had said, "mate" or "betrothed" or…something other than "friend." Yura and Eumi looked up to her.
"I know that both of us were hoping for something more…like…BOYfriend." Yura says nudging toward her. Inuyasha becomes confused.
"I am a boy that's her friend." He states. Eumi laughs.
"No, a boyfriend isn't just a friend. It's a friend…with benefits."
"What's that mean?" He questions.
"Well, they hug and kiss and go on dates and love each other and-"
*Five minutes later*
"-And after a long time get engaged and then married, if they like each other enough." Yura replies.
"What are you? Foreign?" Eumi questions.
"No I'm-"
"Hai, he's foreign." Kagome blurts. Inuyasha understands what she's doing so he doesn't argue. The four all sit together silently for the next t each other. Eumi looks down at her candy bag and gasps.
"We've gotta get going! Or everyone else will take our candy!" She jumps up and dashes to the door, holding it open for everyone else. Yura and Kagome hurry to the door and Inuyasha slowly walks to the door, he didn't understand what "candy" was or what the hurry was for. He walks up to Kagome and whispers.
"What's candy? Why are we hurrying?"
Yura and Eumi suddenly become suspicious. Even a foreigner knew what candy was and they knew it was Halloween tonight.
"You must be joking!" Yura squeals. Inuyasha blushes and shakes his head. Eumi falls over, but is instantly back up on her feet.
"What is really up with this guy? And I want the truth." She forces.
"I'll explain it later, lets go get us some candy!!" She hurries out the door. Inuyasha watches as the three girls run up to a house. He catches up then Kagome goes over to him.
"Say "Trick or Treat," ok?"
"Ok?" Inuyasha stated after giving her a questionable look. The man that lived at the house already noticed them but waited anyway. Inuyasha walks up to the man and stares him in the eyes.
"TRICK OR TREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He screams. The whole neighbor hood turns to look. Kagome blushes while Yura and Eumi get annoyed. (Sweat drop) The man at the door seemed rather frightened, but managed to get four handfuls of candy and place them into each of their bags.
Inuyasha walks up to Kagome.
"What is this that the strangely dressed man gave us?"
"It's candy. You can eat it. And you aren't meant to scare the people, watch me and my friends next time…don't say ANYTHING." She sighs then heads to the next house.
Inuyasha watches this new treat known as, 'Trick or treating.' And finds out that it is a rather fun day…or game…or whatever it was, that you dress up, say stuff to people at doors, and get candy…the stuff you can eat (but, for some reason, hasn't tasted to good to him yet.) Finally, Kagome allows Inuyasha to join in on the talking portion of trick or treating. He doesn't scare anyone else all-night.
When the time came that you weren't allowed to trick or treat anymore, the group headed home. They entered the shrine and poured out their candy.
"We got SOO much candy!" Yura's eyes light up. Eumi holds up some apples and other weird assortments.
"And other stuff…" She throws them aside and begins to sort her candy. Inuyasha puts a piece of candy in his mouth and Kagome makes gagging sounds.
"You aren't supposed to eat them like that." She takes the paper off of the candy then hands it to him. "You have to take the paper off first."
Inuyasha looks at her with eyes of amazement.
"No wonder they've tasted so bad…" He pops a Snickers ® in his mouth. Minutes later he has eaten all of the Snickers he could get a hold of. His eyes were sparkling and he has stars and random shapes spinning around his head.
"THAT'S GOOD CANDY!" He screams. Eumi giggles.
"It's chocolate."
"CHOCOLATE!!!" He shouts while grabbing for a piece on the ground. Yura gives him a funny look. She turns toward Kagome.
"He's acting drunk."
"Drunk on chocolate?" She thinks to herself. Maybe it's because he's part dog-demon… "Oy, I'll get the meds."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha had meds forced down his throat to keep him from seeming drunk. It calmed him and did…something to make it so he was normal again. Yura and Eumi had a game planned and they promised everyone would like it.
"This game is gonna be fun!" Eumi giggles.
"Niche ha!" Yura urges. "So sit down and let's play!"
They all take a seat in the middle of the living room cross-legged. Inuyasha was across from Kagome and Yura was across from Eumi. They all sit quietly waiting for everyone else to get situated.
"Ok, for this game, one of us says something and you reply with one word. The first word that comes to mind. OK?" Yura explains. Inuyasha shakes his head and Kagome nods. "Me and Eumi will demonstrate."
"TV?" Yura says.
"Boys." Eumi replies.
"Radio?"
"Music."
"Animal?"
"Kangaroo."
"And so forth, ok?" Yura explains.
"I'll start." Eumi raises her hand and smiles. Yura winks. "Pick a number 1-10."
"2." Kagome says.
"9!" Inuyasha puts up nine fingers.
"It was eight. Inuyasha's first!" Eumi winks toward Yura, but neither Inuyasha nor Kagome notice.
"Just remember, one word."
"Food?" She questions. (Kagome sighs. Stupid question.)
"CHOCOLATE!!"
"Siblings?"
"DIE!!"
"Plant?"
"Rose."
"Worst Enemy?"
"DECEASED."
"Animal?"
"DOG!"
"Kagome?"
"MATE!"
All three gasp, but Inuyasha doesn't realize what he said. Kagome hurries to the bathroom. Inuyasha becomes confused.
"What did I do wrong?" He questions.
"Nothing." Yura hums happily.
"Then why did she run off?"
"When I said Kagome, what did you say?" Eumi questions. Inuyasha thinks back then blushes, smacking himself in the face. He suddenly realizes that they were staring at him so he hurries away.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile, Kagome sits in the bathroom trying to fan away the blush. That was thrown on her in a weird way. She looks in the mirror and notices that the blush was gone, but she didn't feel like going back out there just yet. She looks down at her hands as though they were Inuyasha.
"Yade yade, Inuyasha." She pauses, sighing quietly. "Ai Shiteru, but I wasn't expecting you to tell me in such an, an…absurd way. I never imagined that you would tell me like this. But, it doesn't matter, yegata."
She pushes back her hair and walks out of the bathroom again.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Sayonara! Soteja odijenda!" Kagome waves as Yura and Eumi walk out of the door. Inuyasha was sitting in a chair in the living room, the blush still fresh on his face. Kagome walks up the stairs, turning back halfway to look back at Inuyasha.
"I'm going to change into pajamas…be right back." Then she's in her room with the door closed. She comes back down stairs and sits against the wall looking up at Inuyasha. Words weren't coming to her mind at the moment and he obviously wasn't about to start a conversation so she slowly fell asleep.
After noticing that Kagome was asleep, Inuyasha kneeled down beside her and sighed.
"Ai Shiteru Kagome. I wish that you hadn't found out like this. Not that you'll ever know I said this to you, but I would have rather told you, when I knew what to say and how. Even though I'm not good with words, I know how to tell you I love you and…this is stupid. I'm talking to a sleeping person. Baka."
He walks up the stairs to Kagome's room to sleep. He lies on the bed and is soon asleep.
Little did Inuyasha know, Kagome had awaked after she heard her name. Now she knew how he felt. She had a feeling things could change soon.
