Chapter 16: An Argument and Inuyasha's Cousin Shippo
Inuyasha pulled Kagome away from his chest by her forearms and looked at her smirk with an eyebrow raised. "Kagome!" He warned when he had a slight idea on why she was smirking. He gazed down at the green water hose that she held in her hands quite firmly, then looked back at her face.
"You better not-" Inuyasha was cut off as water rushed into his face filling his open mouth with water. His hand on her forearm slid down to her hand holding the hose and, with out any trouble, turned it on Kagome, spraying her hair, but not for long. The shampoo was still in his hair and it started to run down his forehead and into his eyes. He let go of Kagome's hand and the hose and covered his eyes with his hands.
"Ahh!! It's burning! Rinse it out! Rinse it out!!" He cried out, reaching blindly for the hose. Kagome hurriedly sprayed his hair as he bent his head over for her to get all of it. She watched as the soap suds slid off of his long silvery hair along with the water onto the pavement around Inuyasha's feet. When there were no more suds coming off of Inuyasha's hair she stopped the spray, and he immediately swung his head back, the water on his silver wet hair hitting her in the face as he did so. He sighed, and pulled his hair back in his hand.
The wind blew coolly against Inuyasha's wet chest and he shivered. "Damn it's cold!" Kagome agreed a little too for she was wet and had less clothing on.
"Oh yeah? Well at least you're not standing out here in a bikini!" She said dropping the hose and turning to get her big beach towel with the big multicolored fish on it. Inuyasha glanced at her backside and crossed his arms.
"It's not even summer yet. Why the hell are you wearing a bikini anyways?" He asked her dumbly, watching as she wrapped the big towel around her for warmth.
"Well it wouldn't be that cold if I wasn't wet!" Kagome paused a bit after she said that, and was so glad Miroku wasn't around to here what she just said. Kami knows what he would be thinking when she said that! 'Wait! Why am I thinking that?!' She wondered, but was totally unaware that she had just said it aloud.
"Thinking what?" Inuyasha asked in an annoyed voice, ringing out his long silver hair, and raking his sharp deadly claws through it thoroughly. Kagome looked back at him, suddenly embarrassed that she would have to tell him what she had just thought. Well she could lie and say something else. No. That would make her feel bad for lying to him. Sigh.
"Oh nothing! It was just s-something stupid!" Kagome laughed nervously waving her hands in front of her. She glanced at Inuyasha and caught him giving her an eyebrow raised, arms crossed and a dumbfounded frown.
"Stupid like what?" He asked curiously, eyeing her in a suspicious way. Kagome crossed her arms and glared at him, just to be safe from him bugging her.
"Maybe I just don't want to tell you." She answered in a preppy sort of way, closing her eyes as if saying, the conversation is over. Inuyasha wanted to tease her about it, but it wasn't really in him to do it right then. He didn't feel like doing it, and for some strange reason, Kagome was starting to annoy him. He started to take that as a warning and decided he should leave just to be safe from a fight. He watched as Kagome sat on the wet ground, huddled all up in the big colorful towel, and when she looked up into his eyes he wondered, 'Why do I feel like this? I'm not supposed to feel this way towards someone I love, right? Then why?'
"Aren't you going to come sit by me, Inuyasha?" Inuyasha's eyes came back into focus when he heard Kagome say his name, and he gave her a wry smile.
"No. I think I should get back home, I have..well I have some..chores to do. You know, taking out the trash, cleaning my room, and ummm...well, stuff." Inuyasha mentally slapped himself in the head. He should have just left it at 'Chores' to keep himself from looking and sounding like an idiot! He sighed.
Kagome continued to stare at him, obviously stuck in a different world, but recovered quickly and said, "Ummm..ok. Can I ask you a favor?" Inuyasha nodded his head. "Can you help me clean up the kitchen? If my mom came home to that, I think she'd die!" Kagome explained while standing up. Inuyasha said a quick yes, and bent to pick up the bottle of cucumber melon shampoo, while Kagome got the conditioner.
~*~
Kagome rinsed out the washrag that was heavy from pancake mix, while Inuyasha stood on a wooden chair wiping off the walls. Kagome rang out the blue spotless rag, and then turned around to see Inuyasha stepping down from the chair and sighed.
"Ahhh, it looks soo much better in here!" Kagome said as she rubbed some sweat from her forehead.
"Yeah, it does." Inuyasha added, looking around with his hands on his hips. He had to admit that for such a huge mess it seemed almost spotless. And of course that he really doesn't clean any part of his house except his own room. So yeah, he felt good about it.
Inuyasha searched for a spot that they had seemed to miss but didn't find one. He glanced over at Kagome who stood on the other side of the kitchen near the sink, and noticed she was staring at the floor near his feet. He looked down sheepishly, but saw nothing worth looking at. He glanced back at Kagome and noticed she was still looking at the floor, but this time with an awkward smile that lit her face. 'Wait! She ain't looking at the floor!' Inuyasha thought and followed her gaze quickly to see she was looking straight at his stupid, ugly, childish doggie print boxers. He growled.
"Will you stop that!!" He yelled covering the front of his boxers by crossing his arms over them. Kagome jerked her head up in surprise.
"What? What? What I do?" She asked dumbly looking at Inuyasha with a surprised look. Inuyasha glared at her for her stupidity.
"You were doing it again!" He exclaimed, his eyes were glaring and his face a scowl.
"I wasn't doing anything, Inuyasha! I was-"
"You were looking at my boxers again!" Inuyasha had cut her off rudely and Kagome's surprised expression turned to wonder.
"What? You don't want me to look at them?" Kagome asked getting an awkward look from the hanyou.
"Of course not! What if you had to walk around in ummm..uh..your brother's under wear because all of yours were dirty? You wouldn't like it if I was staring at them either, now would you?" Inuyasha was surprised he got that out right. Kagome sweat dropped and gave Inuyasha a glare.
"I would have made sure all my panties were clean the day before!" Kagome explained, watching Inuyasha as he tried desperately to come up with a better come back. "Why do you hate those boxers so much? I like them. They suit you good too!" Kagome smiled and Inuyasha looked down at his boxers and back to her.
"Don't treat me like I'm some kinda pet, Kagome! What? Do dog foot prints turn you on or somethin?" Inuyasha asked sitting down in the wooden chair beside him, the one he stood on to wash the walls a few moments ago. Kagome looked at him shocked. Why was this happening? Why were they fighting..over BOXERS?! Kagome could tell that Inuyasha wasn't teasing and knew he would keep on and on and on until he one. 'Kami! The fights we get into!' Kagome thought and rolled her eyes.
"What now? Did I disturb you because I sat down in a chair to hide my boxers from a peeping girl?" Inuyasha asked her in a way you'd ask a baby. Kagome's face went red. Not just from embarrassment, but from anger too.
"No, Inuyasha! I'm not disturbed by that! I'm disturbed by this stupid argument! You take everything so freaking serious, and it bugs the crap out of me! I was just stating my opinion on your boxers! It was supposed to be a compliment! But Noooo! You had to turn it into an argument!" Kagome blew up, rage raining fire in the girl's eyes. Inuyasha glared at her.
"Well, I would rather someone not to stare at my boxers after I told them not too!" Inuyasha yelled just as loud as Kagome did, and stood up walking towards Kagome.
" Gods, Inuyasha! You're so childish!" Kagome yelled at him, and in the blink of an eye, Inuyasha stood in front of her. He grasped her wrists tightly and pushed her back against the counter hard making her cry out in pain.
"Oh! And you're not childish! You're just a damn-"
"Inuyasha! You're hurting me!" Kagome yelled at him and whimpered when Inuyasha made her bend back, the counter digging into her spine. Inuyasha's eyes had a red tent to them and his face was pale. His white fangs showed more than usual when he talked and Kagome began to understand. She had been treating him like a normal human this whole time, and had forgotten all about his demon side. Was this it? Will he attack her? She closed her eyes, but when he didn't talk she opened them again to see he had closed his own eyes. He was shuddering to keep control over himself, to push back the anger. His face scrunched up and he swallowed hard, then took a deep breath and let it out gradually. His hands loosened on her wrists and he pulled her from the counter a little to relieve the pressure on her back. Kagome looked into his face that was covered by his bangs and saw that his eyes were still closed but his face had relaxed and the color was coming back slowly.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked wanting to see if he would talk. Inuyasha shook his head his eyes still closed. Kagome waited a bit and said his name again, but he still refused to talk. So Kagome decided she would show she was sorry. She leaned forward and lifted her hands from his and wrapped them around him, hoping he would embrace her as well. He just stood there for a few minutes and finally he said something.
"I'm..I'm sorry..I almost.."
"I know Inuyasha..I know." Kagome whispered back at him, hugging him tighter for reassurance. Then he finally lifted his arms and laid them on her shoulders, pulling her closer to his bare chest. Kagome could hear his heart beat. It was struggling just a bit from control of two beings. 'This day just seems so terrible, like a nightmare. I hope we don't fight like this again.' Kagome thought to herself.
"I need to go." Inuyasha said quietly and stepped away from the girl he had almost attacked. Kagome watched as he turned away from her and walked towards the kitchen door. He didn't even glance back at her just raised his hand as if to say bye, and walked out, shutting the door behind him. Kagome looked out the window above the sink and watched as he jumped the wall bordering their yards. Then she remembered. His clothes. She looked over at the table and saw them sitting there. She smiled and walked towards the table and picked up the wet clothes, taking them to the laundry room.
~*~
The phone downstairs rang as Kagome laid on her bed staring up at the ceiling, thinking, wondering. 'What happened today? Was it real? It felt like a-"
"Kagome! Telephone!" Mrs. Higarashi called from the foot of the stairs. Kagome sighed and lifted herself from the bed, but then thought, 'What if it's him? Is he calling to apologize again?' She suddenly jumped from the bed and out into the hallway, down the stairs and nearly fell into her mom.
"Slow down there!" Her mom said cheerfully. "Don't want to break a leg or an arm."
"Ok, mom." Kagome said quickly and grabbed the phone from her mother. She put the cordless phone to her ear but hesitated to say anything until her mother was in the kitchen.
"Hello?" Kagome finally said into the phone not knowing if she should dred about the voice coming from the other line or feel relieved.
"Hey Kagome!" A girl's voice came from the other line making Kagome feel relieved. She sighed.
"Hi, Sango."
"What's wrong? Are you still sick?"
"I feel better than I did this morning." Kagome answered, hoping Sango wouldn't ask if something was wrong again if it wasn't from illness.
"You sound like you've had a rough day. You wanna talk about it?"
"Ummm..no, not really."
"Ok." Sango waited a few minutes to continue. "Oh yeah, you know, after you left, Kouga got expelled from school for a week!"
"What did he do this time?" Kagome wasn't surprised at all. The guy was always getting himself into trouble.
"Well I didn't see exactly what happened, but Miroku did, and he said that after you turned Kouga down, a guy had to be a smart ass and open his mouth and Kouga wasn't going to take that. So he picked up the guy and threw him all the way across the hall, making him smash into the wall. There's like cracks and a huge dent in the wall now. So the principal caught up to Kouga and suspended him for a week." Sango finished and sighed into the phone.
"Is the guy he threw across the hall ok?" Kagome asked.
"His neck is broken, that's all I know." Sango answered. "The guy's parents are probably going to press charges."
"I wouldn't blame them." Kagome added in a low voice.
"So, did you finish your project for Coach Higai?"
"Oh great! I forgot all about it! I'm gonna be in so much trouble! I still have to type it on the computer and print it out, but my computer is broken!" Kagome started to panic. Is this day trying to make her miserable?
"What time is it? I think you can go to the library."
"Ummm.." Kagome ran up the stairs across the hallway and into her room. The clock on her dresser said 6:56pm.
"I can't. The library closes at seven." Kagome felt as though life was beginning to end for her.
"Hmmm..Hey! Maybe the guy next door will let you use his computer. What's his name again? Inuyasti or something?"
"Inuyasha." Kagome said his name barely above a whisper.
"Hey? Why are you whispering? Is your brother around or something?"
No, listen. I'll talk to you tomorrow. I really need to think of a way to get this stupid project done."
"Ok. Just don't stress out about it too much. The worst thing that'll happen is that you'll go to I.S.S."
"Thanks for reminding me." Kagome said sarcastically.
"Sorry. I'll see you tomorrow then. Bye."
"Bye." Kagome pressed the 'OFF' button on the phone and fell backwards onto her bed. "I don't think this day could get any worse!" Kagome said aloud to herself as Buyo jumped up onto the bed and lay beside her.
"Meeooww." Buyo meowed at Kagome who had her eyes closed. Kagome opened them to see Buyo staring into her face.
"Oh, Buyo." Kagome said sympathetically, and scratched Buyo behind the ears. "You're lucky you're a cat. You don't have problems like I do." She paused and thought. "And I don't have as bad a problems as Inuyasha." She let out a sigh.
"Kagome! Dinners ready!" She heard Souta call outside of her door.
~*~
Kagome opened the front door with her notes and Social Studies Text Book in one hand and Inuyasha's clean clothes in the other. At dinner she decided that if she was going to get this project done, she would have to make a sacrifice.
To go next door.
Maybe Inuyasha has forgotten about what happened today, or maybe he won't bring it up. Hopefully. Kagome walked past a telephone pole on the side of the street in front of Inuyasha's house and thought, "Maybe I should just turn around. I don't..I can't..Arrgh!! Yes I can! I'm going up to his house and I'm gonna finish my project!' She said to herself as she got up onto the front porch. She took a deep breath and stuck out her forefinger, and pressed the little round doorbell button. She heard the bell going off inside the house and she stepped back a little so the glass door wouldn't hit her. Suddenly the inside door opened and she saw Ethnie, the maid, through the glass door. When she opened the glass door she had a cheery look on her face.
"Hello, honey! What can I do for you?" Ethnie asked in a sweet considerate way.
"Ummm..I was wondering if I could use your computer to finish my project." Kagome asked with a smile.
"Of course you can! The computer's up in Inuyasha's room. I'm pretty sure his room is clean." She said inviting Kagome into the house. Kagome looked around at all the new furniture. The inside of the house was huge! There were crystal picture frames on the ledge above the fireplace, and a black leathered couch and loveseat and a huge black leathered recliner, that could easily fit three of her in, and a red wood coffee table that sat in front of the couch. The carpet was white but didn't have a stain that could be seen. The ceiling was triangular which made the living room more spacious. The huge big screen was catty cornered against the front wall near the window looking outside. And when she looked on the floor, her eyes were caught by two others.
"Inuyasha, this girl here needs to use your computer. So show her up to your room while I finish cleaning dishes." Ethnie said as she retreated into the kitchen. Inuyasha was lying on the floor giving her an awkward look. Then all of a sudden she felt something brush against her leg. She looked down to see a little boy with blazing red hair pointing at her.
"Hey, Inuyasha! Whose this? Do you know her?" The little voice piped and then gazed up at Kagome. He had pretty blue eyes that shined with merriment, and a cute little face, but then she saw he had a tail. A red bushy tail. 'Maybe it's fake, but..maybe not.' Kagome thought and looked up to see Inuyasha was standing.
"She's my neighbor. Now leave her alone, and don't pester her." He said not so happily. He looked back at Kagome and Kagome just looked away and caught glance of the stairs.
"Oh, hi! I'm Shippo. What's your name?" The little boy asked, resting a hand on her leg.
"Ummm..my name is Kagome." She said to him and looked over at Inuyasha. "Are you two related?"
"He's my cousin" They both said at the same time in unison.
"Hey! She was asking me! Don't talk unless you're being talked to." Inuyasha scowled out the little boy. Kagome gave Inuyasha a glare.
"Inuyasha be nice to him! I didn't really care who answered." She explained holding the stuff in her hands against her chest. Inuyasha was about to protest with his mouth opened, but closed it quickly and jerked his head to the side while crossing his arms.
"Sooo..Are you going to show me to the computer?" Kagome asked walking towards him. Inuyasha looked at her with sympathy since Kagome was in the way of Shippo's seeing as Kagome approached him.
"Here's your clothes. I washed them today after you left." She whispered to him as she held out his clothes that were nice and folded. He took them but brushed her hand purposely and Kagome smiled.
"Hey, why do you have Inuyasha's clothes?" Shippo asked as he ran over and crawled up Inuyasha's leg, then up his side, all the way up to his shoulder.
"It's none of your business!" Inuyasha yelled at the little boy and pulled him off of his shoulder setting him on the white-carpeted floor. Kagome looked at the little boy and smiled at him and he pranced to the other side of the living room.
"You want to play a board game?" Shippo asked pulling a board game in front of him.
"Kagome has to do something on the computer." Inuyasha explained trying to see what she was holding in her other hand.
"It's for my project in Social Studies." She pulled the Text book into her other hand. "Now can you show me to your computer?"
"Can I come and help you, Kagome?" The little boy asked but Inuyasha raised his hand at him.
"You stay here and play your games." Inuyasha said to the boy, giving him a glare when Kagome wasn't looking. "This way." Inuyasha lead Kagome up the stairs. Kagome was feeling better and she assumed that Inuyasha was too. She liked Shippo a lot. 'He's so cute,' She thought to herself. 'But I think he's a half demon, because normal boys don't have tails. Especially bushy ones. He kind reminds me of a little fox.' She thought to herself as they crossed the dark hallway. Inuyasha stopped at a door and laid his hand on the doorknob.
"I don't stay in my room much so there are still some boxes that I haven't unpacked yet. So we may have to move them out of the way of the computer desk." Inuyasha looked at her, his eyes like golden orbs in the darkness. Then he opened the door.

"I know Inuyasha..I know." Kagome whispered back at him, hugging him tighter for reassurance. Then he finally lifted his arms and laid them on her shoulders, pulling her closer to his bare chest. Kagome could hear his heart beat. It was struggling just a bit from control of two beings. 'This day just seems so terrible, like a nightmare. I hope we don't fight like this again.' Kagome thought to herself.
"I need to go." Inuyasha said quietly and stepped away from the girl he had almost attacked. Kagome watched as he turned away from her and walked towards the kitchen door. He didn't even glance back at her just raised his hand as if to say bye, and walked out, shutting the door behind him. Kagome looked out the window above the sink and watched as he jumped the wall bordering their yards. Then she remembered. His clothes. She looked over at the table and saw them sitting there. She smiled and walked towards the table and picked up the wet clothes, taking them to the laundry room.

The phone downstairs rang as Kagome laid on her bed staring up at the ceiling, thinking, wondering. 'What happened today? Was it real? It felt like a-"
"Kagome! Telephone!" Mrs. Higarashi called from the foot of the stairs. Kagome sighed and lifted herself from the bed, but then thought, 'What if it's him? Is he calling to apologize again?' She suddenly jumped from the bed and out into the hallway, down the stairs and nearly fell into her mom.
"Slow down there!" Her mom said cheerfully. "Don't want to break a leg or an arm."
"Ok, mom." Kagome said quickly and grabbed the phone from her mother. She put the cordless phone to her ear but hesitated to say anything until her mother was in the kitchen.
"Hello?" Kagome finally said into the phone not knowing if she should dred about the voice coming from the other line or feel relieved.
"Hey Kagome!" A girl's voice came from the other line making Kagome feel relieved. She sighed.
"Hi, Sango."
"What's wrong? Are you still sick?"
"I feel better than I did this morning." Kagome answered, hoping Sango wouldn't ask if something was wrong again if it wasn't from illness.
"You sound like you've had a rough day. You wanna talk about it?"
"Ummm..no, not really."
"Ok." Sango waited a few minutes to continue. "Oh yeah, you know, after you left, Kouga got expelled from school for a week!"
"What did he do this time?" Kagome wasn't surprised at all. The guy was always getting himself into trouble.
"Well I didn't see exactly what happened, but Miroku did, and he said that after you turned Kouga down, a guy had to be a smart ass and open his mouth and Kouga wasn't going to take that. So he picked up the guy and threw him all the way across the hall, making him smash into the wall. There's like cracks and a huge dent in the wall now. So the principal caught up to Kouga and suspended him for a week." Sango finished and sighed into the phone.
"Is the guy he threw across the hall ok?" Kagome asked.
"His neck is broken, that's all I know." Sango answered. "The guy's parents are probably going to press charges."
"I wouldn't blame them." Kagome added in a low voice.
"So, did you finish your project for Coach Higai?"
"Oh great! I forgot all about it! I'm gonna be in so much trouble! I still have to type it on the computer and print it out, but my computer is broken!" Kagome started to panic. Is this day trying to make her miserable?
"What time is it? I think you can go to the library."
"Ummm.." Kagome ran up the stairs across the hallway and into her room. The clock on her dresser said 6:56pm.
"I can't. The library closes at seven." Kagome felt as though life was beginning to end for her.
"Hmmm..Hey! Maybe the guy next door will let you use his computer. What's his name again? Inuyasti or something?"
"Inuyasha." Kagome said his name barely above a whisper.
"Hey? Why are you whispering? Is your brother around or something?"
No, listen. I'll talk to you tomorrow. I really need to think of a way to get this stupid project done."
"Ok. Just don't stress out about it too much. The worst thing that'll happen is that you'll go to I.S.S."
"Thanks for reminding me." Kagome said sarcastically.
"Sorry. I'll see you tomorrow then. Bye."
"Bye." Kagome pressed the 'OFF' button on the phone and fell backwards onto her bed. "I don't think this day could get any worse!" Kagome said aloud to herself as Buyo jumped up onto the bed and lay beside her.
"Meeooww." Buyo meowed at Kagome who had her eyes closed. Kagome opened them to see Buyo staring into her face.
"Oh, Buyo." Kagome said sympathetically, and scratched Buyo behind the ears. "You're lucky you're a cat. You don't have problems like I do." She paused and thought. "And I don't have as bad a problems as Inuyasha." She let out a sigh.
"Kagome! Dinners ready!" She heard Souta call outside of her door.
~*~
Kagome opened the front door with her notes and Social Studies Text Book in one hand and Inuyasha's clean clothes in the other. At dinner she decided that if she was going to get this project done, she would have to make a sacrifice.
To go next door.
Maybe Inuyasha has forgotten about what happened today, or maybe he won't bring it up. Hopefully. Kagome walked past a telephone pole on the side of the street in front of Inuyasha's house and thought, "Maybe I should just turn around. I don't..I can't..Arrgh!! Yes I can! I'm going up to his house and I'm gonna finish my project!' She said to herself as she got up onto the front porch. She took a deep breath and stuck out her forefinger, and pressed the little round doorbell button. She heard the bell going off inside the house and she stepped back a little so the glass door wouldn't hit her. Suddenly the inside door opened and she saw Ethnie, the maid, through the glass door. When she opened the glass door she had a cheery look on her face.
"Hello, honey! What can I do for you?" Ethnie asked in a sweet considerate way.
"Ummm..I was wondering if I could use your computer to finish my project." Kagome asked with a smile.
"Of course you can! The computer's up in Inuyasha's room. I'm pretty sure his room is clean." She said inviting Kagome into the house. Kagome looked around at all the new furniture. The inside of the house was huge! There were crystal picture frames on the ledge above the fireplace, and a black leathered couch and loveseat and a huge black leathered recliner, that could easily fit three of her in, and a red wood coffee table that sat in front of the couch. The carpet was white but didn't have a stain that could be seen. The ceiling was triangular which made the living room more spacious. The huge big screen was catty cornered against the front wall near the window looking outside. And when she looked on the floor, her eyes were caught by two others.
"Inuyasha, this girl here needs to use your computer. So show her up to your room while I finish cleaning dishes." Ethnie said as she retreated into the kitchen. Inuyasha was lying on the floor giving her an awkward look. Then all of a sudden she felt something brush against her leg. She looked down to see a little boy with blazing red hair pointing at her.
"Hey, Inuyasha! Whose this? Do you know her?" The little voice piped and then gazed up at Kagome. He had pretty blue eyes that shined with merriment, and a cute little face, but then she saw he had a tail. A red bushy tail. 'Maybe it's fake, but..maybe not.' Kagome thought and looked up to see Inuyasha was standing.
"She's my neighbor. Now leave her alone, and don't pester her." He said not so happily. He looked back at Kagome and Kagome just looked away and caught glance of the stairs.
"Oh, hi! I'm Shippo. What's your name?" The little boy asked, resting a hand on her leg.
"Ummm..my name is Kagome." She said to him and looked over at Inuyasha. "Are you two related?"
"He's my cousin" They both said at the same time in unison.
"Hey! She was asking me! Don't talk unless you're being talked to." Inuyasha scowled out the little boy. Kagome gave Inuyasha a glare.
"Inuyasha be nice to him! I didn't really care who answered." She explained holding the stuff in her hands against her chest. Inuyasha was about to protest with his mouth opened, but closed it quickly and jerked his head to the side while crossing his arms.
"Sooo..Are you going to show me to the computer?" Kagome asked walking towards him. Inuyasha looked at her with sympathy since Kagome was in the way of Shippo's seeing as Kagome approached him.
"Here's your clothes. I washed them today after you left." She whispered to him as she held out his clothes that were nice and folded. He took them but brushed her hand purposely and Kagome smiled.
"Hey, why do you have Inuyasha's clothes?" Shippo asked as he ran over and crawled up Inuyasha's leg, then up his side, all the way up to his shoulder.
"It's none of your business!" Inuyasha yelled at the little boy and pulled him off of his shoulder setting him on the white-carpeted floor. Kagome looked at the little boy and smiled at him and he pranced to the other side of the living room.
"You want to play a board game?" Shippo asked pulling a board game in front of him.
"Kagome has to do something on the computer." Inuyasha explained trying to see what she was holding in her other hand.
"It's for my project in Social Studies." She pulled the Text book into her other hand. "Now can you show me to your computer?"
"Can I come and help you, Kagome?" The little boy asked but Inuyasha raised his hand at him.
"You stay here and play your games." Inuyasha said to the boy, giving him a glare when Kagome wasn't looking. "This way." Inuyasha lead Kagome up the stairs. Kagome was feeling better and she assumed that Inuyasha was too. She liked Shippo a lot. 'He's so cute,' She thought to herself. 'But I think he's a half demon, because normal boys don't have tails. Especially bushy ones. He kind reminds me of a little fox.' She thought to herself as they crossed the dark hallway. Inuyasha stopped at a door and laid his hand on the doorknob.
"I don't stay in my room much so there are still some boxes that I haven't unpacked yet. So we may have to move them out of the way of the computer desk." Inuyasha looked at her, his eyes like golden orbs in the darkness. Then he opened the door.
