hm.. well, since I just posted Chapter 2 of this, I don't have any reviews.. XD just keep 'em comin', keep 'em comin'! I love getting reviews.. however, flames will be used to fuel the search for Kagome's cure XD!
Ceaseless Cloudy Days: what do you mean, Kagome and Inu are going a bit too fast?
Disclaimer: let's see.. I own my nailpolish, my drawing stuff, numerous half finished stories... Inu-Yasha? --checks house for a dog eared teenager-- nope. remind me to put him on my wish-list...
Life Giver
Mrs. Higurashi hung up the phone and sat down on a chair heavily. My baby girl.. has leukemia.. She was shocked. How do I tell Kagome...? The rest of what the doctor had told her hadn't quite sunk in yet.
!-!-!-!
The alarm clock went off, and both Inu-Yasha and Kagome tried to ignore it. Unsuccessfully, I might add, as Inu-Yasha sent the thing flying into a wall soon after it started beeping. Kagome grumbled, but got up and went to the bathroom, while Inu-Yasha forced his hands through his hair, grumbling about the evil things Kagome's world had. He glared at the smashed up alarm clock, and then got out of bed, grumbling the whole time. Kagome came back in, and sighed. Then she walked over and picked up the pieces of the broken alarm clock.
She dumped the pieces in the garbage, then rummaged in her closet for her school uniform. She figured she was at home, she might as well go to school and try to make up for lost time. Inu-Yasha watched her, then got up and wrapped his arms around her.
"Nani tendeska, Kagome?" He asked.
"I'm going to go to school." She answered, then moved out of his embrace.
"Without me?"
"Ano.. duh." Kagome gave him a 'did you lose your brain?' look.
"Nope. No can do. I'm going with you." Inu-Yasha folded his arms.
"How are you going to do that, baka? You don't have a school uniform. You don't have any records of being alive in my time. You'd stand out with your silver hair." Kagome threw up her arms.
"If I can't go with you, then you can't go." Inu-Yasha stated calmly.
"What?! You can't order my life around!"
"Well excuse me for worrying about you!" Inu-Yasha yelled.
"I don't need a baby sitter!" Kagome yelled back.
"Who said anything about being a baby sitter?! I said I was worried, so I want to go to keep an eye on you!"
"I don't need to looked after!"
"So you say! But every time you say that, you get into trouble and I have to rescue your ass! Not that I mind, but still!"
"Osuwari!"
"Damnit, Kagome!"
"Inu-Yasha, Kagome, what is going on?" Mrs. Higurashi stood in the doorway, glaring. "I could hear you two from outside."
"Inu-Yasha wants to come to school with me." Kagome answered.
"And she's being a bitch about it." Inu-Yasha shot back, directing a glare at Kagome.
"Alright, alright, stop it you two. Kagome, I think that it would be a good idea for you to let Inu-Yasha go with you. Let him wear civvies, and say he doesn't go to school anymore."
"But Mama!"
"No but's, Kagome."
"Fine!" Kagome huffed.
Mrs. Higurashi handed Inu-Yasha some clothes - jeans, t-shirt and a baseball cap - and told him to get dressed. Then she smiled at the tension between the two, and walked out. Kagome glared at her mother's retreating back, then at Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha glared back, then they simultaneously turned their backs to each other. Kagome finished pulling on her clothes, then turned to see if Inu-Yasha needed any help. To her surprise, he didn't, so she just shrugged and walked out, with Inu-Yasha following her. She put her shoes on at the front door, and then turned to Inu-Yasha.
"Didn't Mama give you shoes?" She asked, looking at his bare feet.
"Nope. And if she had, I wouldn't have worn them." Inu-Yasha answered.
"Which is exactly why I didn't give him any, Kagome. Now, here are your lunches. Have fun." Mrs. Higurashi shooed them out the door. They looked at each other and shrugged.
!-!-!-!
"Hey, look! It's Kagome!" Ayumi waved frantically, catching Kagome's attention.
"Who is the guy with her?" Yuka wondered, eyeing him quite blatantly.
"I don't know, but he's cute!" Eri bounced around. Yuka and Ayumi rolled their eyes. Kagome and Inu-Yasha stopped next to them, and Kagome eyed Eri.
"Alright, who gave her sugar for breakfast today?" Kagome asked.
"I didn't eat sugar for breakfast, Kagome! That's bad for your teeth!" Eri said.
"Then why are you bouncing around like you're higher than the school building?"
"Ne Kagome, who's the guy with you?" Yuka asked, and Kagome turned her head to face her friend.
"Inu-Yasha. He's my boyfriend from Kyoto." Kagome answered.
"You have a boyfriend?"
"Why didn't you tell us?!"
"Aw, he's taken?"
"Have you kissed?'
"Why is his hair silver?"
"Yeah! And where are his shoes?"
"Good question!"
"Ano, guys?" Kagome waited for a moment as the girls kept jabbering on. Inu-Yasha had surreptitiously scooted closer to Kagome, and leaned down a little.
"I don't think they heard you."
"Don't be a smartass, Inu." Kagome said, glaring half heartedly at Inu-Yasha. Her mouth quirked up at the corners, though, so Inu-Yasha knew she wasn't really mad at him. "Ahem. Guys!"
"What?" Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi chorused at the same time.
"I can only answer one question at a time, you guys." Kagome shifted a little uneasily. "I-"
BRIIINNG!
"Oh, there's the bell!" The three girls raced off, and Inu-Yasha stared after them.
".....What were they?" He asked, blinking rapidly.
"Average airheaded schoolgirls, Inu." Kagome sighed, and took his hand. "Come on, I don't want you to get lost." She walked into the school building, and Inu-Yasha trailed after her, shrugging.
!-!-!-!
Kagome sighed, and collapsed onto a bench in the large school yard. Inu-Yasha sat down next to her. He was a little worried, since Kagome was looking even paler than she had that morning, but she brushed him off and said that she was fine. Kagome got her lunch out, and slowly unwrapped it. Inu-yasha followed her example, and they started eating. Inu-Yasha's ear twitched, under his cap and he looked up to see the Airheads (as he'd dubbed them) coming towards them with someone else. He nudged Kagome, and she looked up.
"Hey Kagome!" Yuka called, waving, and Kagome waved back weakly. Yuka pulled the guy over, and said, "Kagome, Hojo-kun has something to ask you!"
"Kore wa?" She said, then hid a yawn.
"Go on, ask her!" Eri bounced around.
Yeesh! What is up with these girls? Hojo wondered, looking at them with raised eyebrows. Might as well get it over with.. "Kagome, would you like to go out to dinner with me tonight?"
"Ano?" Kagome blinked, then glared at her friends. Yuka and Eri smiled bright smiles, while Ayumi had the grace to blush. Kagome turned back to Hojo, and shook her head. "Gomen nasai, Hojo-kun, but I'm not interested in you like that."
"I figured as much, Higurashi, when I saw you walking around with him." Hojo gestured at Inu-Yasha. "Care to introduce me?"
"Ano.. okay." Kagome shrugged. "Hojo-kun, this is Inu-Yasha, my boyfriend from Kyoto. Inu-Yasha, a friend of mine, Hojo-kun."
"Hajimemashite." Hojo bowed politely. Inu-Yasha folded his arms and looked Hojo up and down, then turned his head away.
"Keh." Was all he said in reply. Kagome glared at him, but just shrugged it away. She didn't feel like arguing at the moment. At least, not with Inu-Yasha, since he gave as good as he got. She looked at Yuka, Eri and Ayumi with a slightly evil glint in her eyes, and all three gulped nervously. Ayumi hid behind the other two, trying to stay out of Kagome's sight. Everyone knew that Kagome had somehow gotten much better at arguing with people over the last year. But nobody knew how. (A/N: gee I wonder... XD)
"I told you two that we should have left well enough alone!" Ayumi hissed at Yuka and Eri.
"Hmph. I still think Inu-Yasha is hot. And I don't see why Kagome attracts all the hunks, anyways!" Yuka said, turning her nose up in the air. She didn't know that Kagome had heard her, though, and was surprised at what Kagome said next.
"So you think my boyfriend's hot, do you, Yuka? And you're jealous? Maybe I should introduce you to Kouga.. you two might get along." Kagome ignored Inu-Yasha's choking sounds, and smiled evilly at Yuka.
"Why do I have the feeling that I wouldn't like this Kouga guy?" Yuka asked nervously. All three girls backed away. Then, before Kagome could reply, they turned and ran, calling something about belated homework assignments they should be doing. Kagome giggled, Inu-Yasha just gave her a weird look, and Hojo look plain old confused.
"Kagome, why did you threaten to introduce her to Kouga?" Inu-Yasha asked, curious.
"Just to see how she would react. Besides, if they got along - or killed each other - it would get them both out of our hair." Kagome smiled at him.
"Er.. Okay, I see that, but you probably scared the crap out of your friend with that look on your face." Inu-Yasha said, then took a bite of his sandwich.
"So? You think I wanted to be nice? Jeeze.. She was jealous that you are my boyfriend, for kami's sake! Was I supposed to be nice? I mean, you aren't nice to Kouga."
"Okay, Okay, I get your point already, bitch!" Kagome stood up, and gestured for Hojo to get off of the bench too. Inu-Yasha recognized that look, and started franticly shaking his head.
"Inu-Yasha, osuwari!" Thunk! "I would've thought that you'd have learned not to call me names by now, Inu."
"Keh." He muttered a couple other things under his breath - things which, had Kagome heard them, would have either made her hug him or 'sit' him into the middle of the earth, depending on her mood. Hojo blinked, then decided that a hasty retreat was in order.
!-!-!-!
Inu-Yasha and Kagome walked into Kagome's house, arguing in rather moderate tones about the several tables he'd managed to break. Kagome was insisting that it was his fault, and Inu-Yasha said that it was hers, because she was the one that had 'sat' him. Mrs. Higurashi listened to them argue for a few minutes, then rolled her eyes. Sometimes, she thought, they act even more immature than Souta. She cleared her throat, and caught both teens attention. She patted the couch.
"Sit down, you two. We need to talk."

I think that this is the longest chapter yet :D and fyi, I got my first flame ever with this story. it really pissed me off, otherwise you would've gotten this chapter sooner. I mean, writing a review just to tell me that something was OOC (I knew that it was OOC. I did it on purpose.) and that you don't like the Japanese I use, and that you won't be reading anymore because of a small OOC moment? Puh-leeze! grow up. this is my story, and I'm writing it the way -I- want to. You don't like that? TOUGH. don't like it, don't read it. it's that simple. for all of you that have given me nice reviews.. Arigatou gozaimasu!!! it means alot to me! I would appreciate it if you review every chapter, just to give me the inspiration to finish this story. besides, if I don't finish it, a friend of mine won't read it.. so I must finish it!!!! XD and sorry if it seemed like I was angry at all of you. I'm not. I'm just angry at the jerk who flamed me. I don't like flames. ESPECIALLY pointless ones. End rant --sweatdrop--
