Chapter 12- Waking Up The Neighborhood

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~The Next Morning~~

BEEP BEEP BEEP!! Despite the fact that it was Sunday Emily's alarm rang loud and clear. Kagome sat straight up in her bed. She had been quite alarmed (no pun intended) by the alarm. She looked over to Emily who was still sleeping like a rock. This always happened, Emily had some sort of church group that she went to on Sundays and she always slept through the alarm. Kagome threw back her covers, turned the alarm off and walked over to Emily's bed. She grabbed Emily's covers and tore them off, and then when that didn't work she yelled in her ear to wake up. Emily's eyes shot open and she jumped, in doing so she hit the side of her face into Kagome's nose. "Ouch…that hurt" Emily muttered as she got up.

Kagome didn't say anything; she just went back to her bed and tried to fall asleep again. Which surprisingly she did but only after Emily had left the room for the morning. As the door shut behind Emily, Kagome sank deeper into her mattress and looked at her wall. It was full of pictures and posters of her friends, favorite bands, and family outings. She looked at some of the pictures and remembered the moment the picture was taken. She looked at a picture of a certain golden-eyed boy and herself, two months before. Bry had taken the picture; it was at a spring carnival in Port. It was a group shot and Kagome remembered exactly what happened. How could she forget? It was one of the funniest spectacles she had ever seen.

~~Flashback~~

"Hey Inu-Yasha!" Bry yelled. They were all at the annual carnival and it was a lot of fun so far. No one had gotten sick thankfully…yet. 

"What do you want, wench?" Inu-Yasha said turning around to face her.

"I just wanted to get a picture of everyone. You do know that I have a mega-cool camera right?" Bry said as she held up a throwaway camera.

"What's so cool about it?"

"What's so cool?" Bry said appalled that he would not think it was cool. "Well it's a digital throwaway camera. I thought it was Mega-Cool!"

"Wow, you are Mega-Demented. I hate pictures anyway, I always look really bad" Inu-Yasha said and turned back around.

"Oh, but it's for my scrapbook and if you DON'T let me take a group picture with you in it…I think I'll let something slip" Bry said determined to get a nice picture of all her friends.  

Upon hearing this he turned violently back to her. "No, you're not that evil. Oh wait yes you are and you'd tell her straight out in a heartbeat. Fine, wench. I'll be in your stupid picture" He finally gave up in defeat. 

"Yay!! Follow me to where the others are" Bry turned and made sure she could see Inu-Yasha in her peripheral vision at all times. But he wouldn't go anywhere, she knew it. They arrived where the others were and Bry placed Inu-Yasha right next to Kagome and quickly backed away to get everyone in. She had a wicked smile on her face and then took the picture.

Shippo wasn't in the picture but he decided to play a prank. After the picture was taken he poured water from a bucket he had over the whole group. He was stationed in a tree that was right overhead of where they took the picture. Bry and Shippo laughed hysterically and then ran for their lives.

~~End Flashback~~

"No use going back to sleep now" Kagome muttered to herself as she made her way over to her dresser. She picked up her brush and got out all the tangles in her hair, then made her way out of the bedroom, down the stairs, into the kitchen. There was no one but Mr. And Mrs. Becker in the kitchen at this time, Kagome had taken to calling them Mom and Dad just because it was just a hassle to say the whole name. Plus, technically they were her parents. 

"You're up quite early, Kagome" Mrs. Becker said as Kagome walked into the kitchen.

"It's easy when Emily's alarm is on the highest loudness and she doesn't even wake up" Kagome muttered. She was still very tired.

"Well have some breakfast" Mr. Becker said (from now on they'll be referred to as Mom and Dad)  

"Ok" Kagome sat down and sure enough there was bacon, eggs, ketchup, and bagels laid out on plates on the table. Kagome got a paper plate from a drawer in the kitchen and took some of everything. Once she ate she went into the back room and turned on the TV. She switched to the weather channel and looked at the day's forecast. There was a weather guy on and behind him was the whole of LI. There were about three temperatures at different places on it. One nearer the city, one near Port, and another out by Montauk.  

"It's gonna be a hot day today" the meteorologist exclaimed a completely different screen came on. It had the day, what the weather conditions were going to be and the high and low temperatures of the day. It was late May and already really warm. Usually it only got really this warm around the middle of June, when everyone has to concentrate on studying and not on how nice it is out. 

"So today is going to be overcast with a temp of 85 degrees. Sounds good" Kagome said to herself. She switched the TV off and ran back upstairs and into her room. She pulled off her t-shirt and sweatpants that served as PJ's and pulled on a red t-shirt almost identical to her sleep shirt, and tan shorts. She put on socks and her sneakers, then brushed her hair and decided to put it in a half up half down style. She glanced over to the clock, it read 10:00am. "Ok, now to wake Bry and Skye up" 

She walked out of her room and over to the door to the left of her's. There was assorted Anime and Manga characters plastered over the door as well as other stickers and such. One bumper sticker said, 'You don't like the way I'm driving? Call 1-800-FU ^-^'. "I wonder who put that up" Kagome said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. She knocked and no one answered so she turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. It was as black as night in there with only the glowing red of the clock to tell what time of day it actually was. 

She went over to the curtains and ripped them open in one fluent motion. She heard cries of "My eyes!" and was confident that they were awake enough to answer a question.

"Do you guys want to go see a movie today?" she asked the two that were still cringing from the light. 

"No can do" Skye said "I have stuff to do today, sorry" She got tangled in her blankets and fell onto the floor in a heap.

Bry laughed at this and then turned her attention to Kagome. "Who will be going?" Bry asked

"I figured it would be the usual people" Kagome said "Why?"

"Just wondering. Well I have no other plans so yeah I'll go" Bry said finally and carefully threw back her covers to step out of her bed and stand up. They all went downstairs and Kagome went right out the door to across the street.

She rang the doorbell and heard shuffling of feet and a loud "I got it!" from just inside the door. The door opened and Mr. Osaka (I don't know a last name) stood on the other side. "Why hello Kagome! What a surprise, why don't you come in?" He opened the storm door and allowed the girl to pass. "Inu-Yasha is still sleeping so you can go and just wake him up if you like" Mr. Osaka then closed the inside door and went off in the direction of their dining room.

"Umm…ok" Kagome made her way up the stairs and to Inu-Yasha's room. She looked at his door and there were various band names written on it and a little sign that said 'Inu-Yasha's room'. "That's really cute" Kagome commented when she saw the sign. She knocked on the door and Inu-Yasha didn't answer. She knocked again a little louder and still no response. She got fed up with it all and just opened the door to find a very messy room. In the middle of it all Inu-Yasha slept on his bed, there was clothes and books strewn everywhere. Kagome made a path that ran from the door to Inu-Yasha. She tapped him and he didn't wake, then she skipped to just shaking him until he gained consciousness.  

"AHHH! I'm UP, ok I get the message but you didn't have to wake me up like that, mom" Inu-Yasha yelled as Kagome stopped shaking him.

"Mom? That would be most disturbing if I was your mother" Kagome said as she towered over him.

"Oh sorry Kagome. Wait why are you in my room?"

"I came over and your Dad told me to wake you up. So I did"

"Oh, ok" He rolled over and right onto the floor. He stood up and walked out of his room stepping on anything in his way.

"I just wanted to see if you and everyone wanted to go see a movie today. It's not going to be great weather so I figured it'd be an outing or something" Kagome said as she walked down the hall. Inu-Yasha was walking next to her.  

"I don't have anything to do today so sure. What time are we going?"

"Good question, call me later at around one or so and I'll have everything set" She walked down the stairs and opened the door.

"Ok, see you then" Inu-Yasha stood at the open door as she turned and went out. Then he closed the door behind her and leaned against it. He was blushing furiously, but his bangs covered most of his face so it wasn't too evident…or so he thought.
