Oh the Irony Chapter 5

Bath Time

I'm bacccccccckk .. (Everyone runs into corners in fear.) O wait my therapist talked to me about this. I am not evil. I will not take my fury anger rage, aggravation, annoyance, frustration, pms..out on any living creature... (Deep breath) sigh* Now don't you feel better? ....Cause I sure as hell don't. So it will be taken out on Inuyasha and Kagome. (

********************** It was really beginning to hurt as they reached the hot spring. Kagome let out a small whimper.

At the edge of the hot spring, Inuyasha dropped Kagome to her feet, but held onto her shoulders to steady her. Her eyes were squinted shut, in what appeared to be pain, but through all the mud it was hard to tell.

He shrugged it off and moved past her. Kagome didn't open her eyes until she heard the movement of water behind her.

She turned just in time to witness the fully clothed hanyou enter the water. Another wave of pain washed over her, starting at her abdomen.

She moved to the water going in fully clothed just as Inuyasha had. The hot water, felt so good, as clouds of mud drifted away from her body.

She moved towards a rock that was underwater and sat upon it and began the tedious task of getting dried mud out of her hair.

The hot water was helping with the cramps so all was good...until she heard a rather large splash.

Looking up all appeared calm, save one fact. Inuyasha was no where in site and the splash had come from the very wet, now mud free clothes.that Inuyasha was/should be wearing, that were now occupying the shore line.

He resurfaced a ways away from her, his back to her. "Now no looking, no matter how much you want to Kagome." That arrogant voice was going to send her to her grave.

Blood was flashing in front of her eyes once more. Isn't it some medical fact somewhere that getting angry deducts years off your life as well raises blood pressure?

"I wouldn't look if I was paid to Inuyasha, so no worries."

"Paid? Why Kagome I had no idea you were into the whoring business, though I doubt anyone would pay you to do anything."

That was the last straw, PMS coupled with that extreme insult sent her off the edge. Again.

She stood up on her rock. "Look you arrogant, loud mouthed sorry excuse for a man, I have had it up to here with you. Another comment like that and you can forget about ever getting the rest of the jewel shards, because I will not help you under any circumstances. Why don't you go find Kikyio, (an: I forgot how to spell her name) because she's the only whore around here. Besides she can detect the jewel shard just as well, and you have no reason to stay with me. Furthermore, I detest you; you carry me around like a sack of potatoes, like you have any right to tell me what the hell to do. So why don't you leave me the HELL ALONE!"

At the end of her speech she gasped slightly astonished at the slew of words that had tumbled out of her mouth, yet she felt oddly proud of herself.

Inuyasha was equally amazed, yet not very proud of her. More like very pissed off. No one talked like that to him.

He strode towards her with intent. The water level was low enough for him to walk to her. He was submerged only up to his waist.

When he reached her there was a slight problem she still stood upon the rock. With much annoyance he grabbed her about the waist in order to haul her down to face him. As his hands grabbed her waste his thumbs unintentional pushed hard into her abdomen. Kagome yelped in pain. It hurt like hell.

As he brought her down, her hands clung onto his wrists in a useless attempt to remove them.

"Stop it that hurts!" She gasped out.

She received a growl in return. "I will ignore that little speech of yours, but only because you're not within you right state of mind right now."

He dragged her over to the shore line. She didn't protest much; she was more then a little worried about the repercussions of her words.

"Hey.not right state of mind.wha..."

"Your monthly cycle, your hormonal right now." He said like it was the most blatantly oblivious thing in the world.

He set her on the shore. Kagome wasn't paying much attention; she was lost in her own thoughts. (I should have known he could tell must be a demon thing)

Inuyasha noticed her preoccupied state and decided this was his chance. He moved gracefully out of the water. Droplets of water glistened off his naked flesh.

It took a few moments for Kagome to realize what had happened just off to her left. She turned around only to be faced with a very naked sight. Her face heated up and she jerked her gaze back around.

Maybe he hadn't noticed.

"I thought you said you couldn't even be paid to look Kagome." Apparently he did.

He came back over to her with a blanket wrapped around his waste. One he had taken from her bag.

He looked at her; there was anger in his eyes, but also something else.

"Take off your clothes." Well that takes care of the something else.

"I don't thi.."

Once more he cut her off. "You can't sit around in soaking wet clothes."

"I can to!" Where this streak of stubbornness was born she did not know, but she would not do as he said, for the mere fact that he said to do it.

With a growl Kagome was reminded of his vindictive nature. He grabbed the front of her school uniform, using his other hand he drew a sharp claw down the side of it, starting at the collar. When he reached her skirt he kept going. All Kagome could do was stare at him in horror.

He stepped back gingerly. The articles of clothing just fell away, leaving Kagome in her bra and panties.

"How dare you!!!" She backed away, trying to find the other blanket in her bag. She cursed her stupidity in not bringing another change of clothes this time.

Well she was shuffling through her bag. In the next moment she had warm soft material covering her.

It took a few hours fro there clothes to dry. In that time they had avoided any further arguments. Kagome had managed to get the rest of the mud out of her hair while Inuyasha was looking for food.

The duo had been walking a while now, and Kagome hadn't said much, between the pain and her anger towards hanyou, she didn't feel much like having a conversation. She pulled the blanket tighter around her. Stupid hanyou, ruining her clothes.

She sighed as the well came into sight..THE WELL!!!!

"Inuyasha why are we here?"

He looked at her and smirked, though irritation was clearly written on his face.

"Well you have to deal with your stupid female problem, and I'm sick of hearing you whine."

"I have not been.whininiiinnnnnnnnnng." The last part was squealed as she was lifted off the ground.

It was half an hour later that a newly showered Kagome lay down in her bed. The water could be heard running in the bathroom. She had shown Inuyasha how to use the shower.

Soap was the only way to really be rid of all the mud and grime.

She meant to only rest her eyes she needed to tell dog boy where to sleep, when he got out of the shower.

She moved her hand in a soothing circular pattern on her stomach. It wasn't fair; guys never had to go through this.

She looked down at her stomach where her clawed hand was rubbing...Clawed??? That was not her hand.

"Go to sleep were going back early in the mourning." The words were mumbled against her neck. The warm breath sent tingles through her body. He pressed his larger form closer to her back, so that they were now in a spoon position. It was a good thing no one was home.

Kagome, wanted to yell at him really she did, but his strong, hand was gently taking her pain away and no force on Earth could make her ask him to stop.

"Goodnight Inuyasha."

**************************************** Okay, so there was some mush in there. So sue me. Please review w/ suggestions they are much appreciated. Don't forget that crazy ladies song; it will come in to play later. If I remember. The rest of the gang should be in the next chapter for anyone wandering when that was going to happen.
