Chapter 17: Awkward Changes
Kagome peered into the dark room as Inuyasha stepped in to find the light switch. She leaned against the hinge of the door waiting until the light was turned on before she would enter. When the overhead light was turned on she was surprised to see that the only thing that was unpacked or couldn't be put in a cardboard box was his full sized bed and computer desk that had his monitor, keyboard, PC, and printer in place.
She noticed that his bed was unmade, his sheets were all twisted and hanging off one side of the bed and his pillow was lying on the floor like he had thrown it there from frustration or something. There were cardboard boxes everywhere, most of them sitting against the computer desk, and some stacked in a corner. It felt cluttered even though there was much space in the middle of the room to walk around. Kagome knew that once all the boxes were discarded, the room would be huge, much bigger than her own.
Kagome looked over to where Inuyasha was and saw him digging around in a box, getting shredded paper all over the floor around him. He pushed the box aside and picked out a box that was stacked in front of the computer desk and with just the slide of his sharp nail the tape made a popping sound and Inuyasha quickly opened the lids and dug around in some more shredded paper. He finally grabbed hold of something and pulled it out slowly. It was a black desk lamp that had a long stretchy neck so that you can move the head of the lamp wherever you need the light to be. He walked over to the desk and set it there, then began to pick up the boxes to put elsewhere.
"Ummm..do you need some help?" Kagome asked in an uncertain voice as Inuyasha walked across the room to the two sliding doors that went to the closet. Inuyasha looked up at her as if he was surprised she was there. Like she wasn't even there before. He continued to stare at her that way and Kagome began to feel uncomfortable, so she walked over to the desk and picked up a medium sized box and walked over to Inuyasha and handed it to him. He took it from her without even looking into her face and placed it in the closet.
Once all the boxes were put in the closet, the area around the desk looked much better. Kagome pulled out the desk chair and sat down looking at the black screen of the monitor. She could hear Inuyasha's black wind pants as he walked her way. The silence that was building tension between them was really starting to annoy her. She wanted so badly to tell him that she was sorry again or how she felt, but it wouldn't leave her mouth. It was just so damn frustrating! So frustrating that tears were threatening to build in her eyes. He wouldn't talk to her or even look her straight in the eyes anymore. Why was he acting so strangely? What happened to the Inuyasha who took her out at night and played around in the park? What happened to the Inuyasha who snuck in through her window and showed his affection? What happened to the Inuyasha who tapped on the window at school to ask her questions about stuff that could wait till later? What happened to the Inuyasha she once new? Kagome felt the tears overflow and she quickly bent her head down so that her black hair formed a curtain around her face. She mentally yelled at herself for thinking about that stuff in front of him knowing that it would make her bust out in tears. She whipped her eyes irritably trying to hide the fact that she was crying. Then she heard him say something.
"Hey, pull out a little so I can plug this up." He said so calmly like everything was all right. So casually, like nothing had happened between them. Kagome nodded and pulled the chair back away from the desk and watched as Inuyasha bent on his hands and knees with the plug to the black lamp in hand, and crawled under the desk and plugged in the lamp into the outlet. He crawled back out and pushed himself off of the floor and walked over to the lamp, and turned it on by pressing a little white button. He fixed the lamp to ware it was shinning on the keyboard, and then turned off the overhead light. The room had just enough light for her and then he turned the computer on.
"There we go." He said bringing up Microsoft Word so she could type her notes down. "You don't need the Internet do you? Cause I don't have it up yet." He said pushing her chair up to the desk.
"No, I have all I need, I just have to type and print it." Kagome said just as casually trying not to think about the change in him.
Silent.
It was silent after that. Inuyasha walked quietly over to his bed and plopped down lying down with his elbow on the mattress and his right cheek in his hand. Kagome began to type the title, and then set her textbook on the desk beside the lamp. She opened it and found her notes there.
"Soooo.." Inuyasha kind of sounded out then added, "What are you doing your 'Project' on?"
"Well, I'm writing the report on when shrines were first made and why they were made and how they were important in the past. Stuff like that, I guess." She tried to explain, then looked back at the hanyou and found some confusion etched on his face. He quickly recovered though, and said "Ohhhh."
Kagome sighed and went right back to typing. All she really needed to do was clean up her notes and copy, so it wouldn't take her very long. She couldn't help but think of Inuyasha's mood swings. When she first walks into the house, he treats her like he's only seen her about once or twice. Then he gives her a sympathetic look, and then, when she gets in his room, at first he doesn't say anything and wouldn't even look at her and now he's talking casually like he had in the past only he's a bit nicer, and she could feel the holes that were burning into her back from his staring. Maybe now's the time to talk.
"Inuyasha, I can't concentrate when you are staring at me like that." She said still typing.
"I'm not staring at you! I was just..just..looking at your new clothes. Never seen you wear them before." Inuyasha began to look her over a few times.
"These clothes aren't new, Inuyasha. I'm just wearing a light pink skirt with a blue sweater." Kagome looked at her own clothes and didn't think they were that attractive. 'What am I doing?' she thought to herself. 'He was only using that as an excuse!' (Crap!! Writers Block!! WRITERS BLOCK!! Somebody hit me! U_U;)
Inuyasha didn't say anything and Kagome felt herself wanting to tell him about how she felt, but decided she'll do it when she's almost done with her report, just in case there was another fight and she wanted to leave.
~*~
Kagome only had to write the ending plot, and decided it was about time. The whole time she had been typing, Inuyasha was reading what was on the screen or he would ask her why she does the stupid homework her teachers gave her. Kagome really had to bite her tongue then. But now she could speak.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome called out his name as she hit 'print.' She heard Inuyasha yawn behind her and she decided to just continue.
"I..I just wanted to say that I'm..I'm sorry about what happened today." Kagome got out staring at the paper that was coming out of the printer with her report printed nicely in black ink.
"Yeah. Me too." Inuyasha kind of whispered. After that was said there was an awkward silence. It was uncomfortable in a way that couldn't really be described, and Kagome decided to continue on how she felt.
"Inuyasha, do I..get on your nerves?" Kagome whispered like she didn't really want him to hear, but then again desperately wanted him to.
"Not really." He added simply, and Kagome could hear him shift in a different position.
"Then why are you treating me this way?" Kagome asked turning in the desk chair to face him.
"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha sounded as if he was getting frustrated with all these difficult questions.
"I'm talking about how you are treating me! You haven't been treating me like you have in the past! I feel like you and I are spreading farther and farther apart." Kagome was feeling weird now. But why? Inuyasha isn't the same. How could he change so much in one day.
"Kagome. I don't want it to happen again! Don't you understand? I could have hurt you today!" Inuyasha yelled at her.
"Well, it was my fault! I pushed you to do what you did, and I'm sorry! Ok?" Kagome was on the brink of tears now.
"Noooo! I could have prevented it more than you could have!"
"Then why didn't you?" Kagome asked, anger making her voice higher than usual. Inuyasha sat there, clenching his red sheets in his fists.
"I..I-"
There was a knock on the door.
"Inuyasha? Are you and Kagome finished yet? Do you want to come play games with me now?" Shippo's voice came into the room. The door opened a little and shippo stuck his head inside.
"No! We're not finished and we don't want to play games right now!" Inuyasha was in a poor mood and Kagome could see the hurt in the little boy's eyes.
"I can't play tonight, but maybe some other time, ok?" Kagome suggested to the boy and then glared at Inuyasha.
"Ok!" The little boy shut the door and sang a little tune down the hallway. Kagome wanted so desperately to cry, but wasn't sure what Inuyasha would do if she did so.
"Inuyasha, I don't.." Kagome paused a little as she stood up. "I don't want to fight or argue with you. I want it to be like it used to be." Kagome stopped at the edge of the bed and knelt down, looking into Inuyasha's golden eyes. "Don't you?" Inuyasha placed his hand on top of Kagome's head and smirked.
"You're a stubborn girl, Kagome. I'm surprised that you still want..to be with me." Inuyasha lowered his hand to her cheek, and rubbed her tears away with his thumb.
"How could you say that? I've never been this close to anyone before, and I don't want to loose you." Kagome said to him and she stood and sat down on the bed. Almost immediately Inuyasha pulled her to him and embraced her for a bit.
"Yeah, I guess I don't want to loose you either. I mean, who else will let me sneak through their window at night?" Inuyasha joked and Kagome teasingly pushed him away.
"Like I said, I'm gonna lock it from now on. So you're just bad out of luck, dog boy!" Kagome teased and Inuyasha smiled.
"Well, like 'I' said, you will let me in." Inuyasha mocked her. Kagome grabbed his hand and studied the deadly claws on it. When she ran a finger down one, Inuyasha kind of jerked his hand away. It made him nervous when she studied his demon features.
"Let's just forget about what happened today and try not to fight so much. Deal?" Kagome suggested.
"Deal." Inuyasha stretched out his arms above his head and popped his neck with the jerk of his head. He let out a sigh and rubbed his arm.
"I think we should spend a day alone. You know, away from each other." Inuyasha said looking at the printer that had long ago stopped printing.
"What? What are you saying?" Kagome asked, confusion was nearly killing her.
"I just..I need some time alone. That's all. Just to think about some issues." Inuyasha looked at her pleadingly, hopping she would understand.
"All right. All people need some time alone. Tomorrow we can think and then maybe the next day we can go out and see a movie or eat out, and maybe just hang out with some friends." Kagome hopped that he would agree, cause they never really go out and do stuff.
"I guess." Inuyasha didn't sound all that excited, but he will when the time comes. Kagome thought back to her project and looked at the time.
"It's almost ten o'clock. I should be getting home now. I guess I'll see you Wednesday?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, Wednesday." Inuyasha nodded as Kagome walked to the desk to collect her report. Inuyasha rose from the full sized bed and followed Kagome out the door with her report and notes.
As they walked down the stairs Kagome could hear Shippo singing merrily as he played his board games. When they appeared in the living room, Shippo shouted out, "Kagome!! Can you come over and play tomorrow?" Kagome glanced back at Inuyasha and he gave her a look that said 'tell-him-some-other-time- ' Kagome smiled cheerily at the little red headed boy.
"How about..Friday? I don't have any plans then." Kagome thought back and was trying to see if she was right.
"Ok!" Shippo said gleefully but yawned right after.
"You should go on up to bed Shippo. It's waaay past your bed time, runt." Shippo nodded and ran over to Kagome and hugged her leg before shyly running up the stairs to the guest room. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and Kagome walked out the front door. Inuyasha shut the door behind them.
"Sorry about that. Shippo's a pest some times. He always wants people to play with him. It's just my luck that I'm stuck with him till next year." Inuyasha muttered with annoyance.
"Don't say that! Shippo's very cute and playful! He's just a little kid, about 5 right?" Kagome estimated.
"Yeah."
"Well, it's only normal that a five year old would want to play all the time. Didn't you want to play all the time when you were that age?"
"Feh! I didn't bug people all the time!" Inuyasha snorted. Kagome sighed and turned away from him.
"Is Shippo a ummm..hanyou like you?" Kagome felt kind of stupid for asking him such a question. Inuyasha closed his eyes and smirked.
"Actually, he's the real thing." Inuyasha stated.
"Huh? What do you mean he's 'the real thing' Do you mean he's all youkai?" Kagome asked astonished.
"Yeah. He was an orphan too. His parents died by two demons, so the country put him in an orphanage. My foster mother's sister thought she would be able to take care of him because she can't have children. But she's sick with a disease and is dying. Shippo doesn't know it yet. He thinks he's here to spend time with us for a while, which he is, but the main reason is that there's no one to take care of him. My foster parents are going to spend some time with Naiyomi when summer starts. So I'll be stuck here with Shippo most of the summer." Inuyasha explained. Kagome was shocked to hear all of this.
"Oh, poor Shippo! He's going through such a hard time with his foster mother dying and he doesn't even know it!" Kagome sympathized. "What happens if Naiyomi dies?"
"Either he'll be put in an orphanage again, or we will take the responsibility of him." When Inuyasha said that, she thought that he meant him and her were going to take care of him but slapped herself in the head.
"How can you be so mean to himwhen all this is happening?" Kagome asked him with tears forming in her eyes.
"Because if I act any different he'll suspect something! Just like you did earlier!" Inuyasha stated harshly. Kagome nodded her head in understanding.
"Well, I better get going and finish some of my other homework." Kagome held her report against her chest and turned to step off the porch. "I'll see you later, I guess." Kagome added as she walked on.
Inuyasha could sense her awkwardness towards him and knew she didn't feel quite the same about him. He didn't want that to happen! He even knew he had a change in attitude. It's because tomorrows the day. 'Damn tomorrow' Inuyasha cursed and decided he should let Kagome know that the change won't last long.
"Kagome!" He hollered out her name when she was walking down the side walk. Kagome paused and turned to see what he wanted and saw him running across his yard towards her. When he reached her, he pulled her towards him and his lips met hers. It was strange how every time he kissed her it felt more and more exciting. Kagome was surprised. Shocked really, her arms were trapped between them holding her report, and her knees felt weak. When Inuyasha pulled away Kagome knew, just by looking in his blazing eyes that everything was starting to be normal again.
"I feel much better now." Inuyasha whispered to her, his lips just 2cm from hers, his hot breath dancing on her face.
"Me too." Kagome whispered back, and shared a chaste kiss before departing back to there houses. "Night." Kagome said sweetly when she had walked a few steps.
"Night." Inuyasha returned before walking up his lawn back to his house.
Kagome walked up the stairs to the Higarashi Shrine and when she was at the top, a smile spread the corners of her lips.

"Huh? What do you mean he's 'the real thing' Do you mean he's all youkai?" Kagome asked astonished.
"Yeah. He was an orphan too. His parents died by two demons, so the country put him in an orphanage. My foster mother's sister thought she would be able to take care of him because she can't have children. But she's sick with a disease and is dying. Shippo doesn't know it yet. He thinks he's here to spend time with us for a while, which he is, but the main reason is that there's no one to take care of him. My foster parents are going to spend some time with Naiyomi when summer starts. So I'll be stuck here with Shippo most of the summer." Inuyasha explained. Kagome was shocked to hear all of this.
"Oh, poor Shippo! He's going through such a hard time with his foster mother dying and he doesn't even know it!" Kagome sympathized. "What happens if Naiyomi dies?"
"Either he'll be put in an orphanage again, or we will take the responsibility of him." When Inuyasha said that, she thought that he meant him and her were going to take care of him but slapped herself in the head.
"How can you be so mean to himwhen all this is happening?" Kagome asked him with tears forming in her eyes.
"Because if I act any different he'll suspect something! Just like you did earlier!" Inuyasha stated harshly. Kagome nodded her head in understanding.
"Well, I better get going and finish some of my other homework." Kagome held her report against her chest and turned to step off the porch. "I'll see you later, I guess." Kagome added as she walked on.
Inuyasha could sense her awkwardness towards him and knew she didn't feel quite the same about him. He didn't want that to happen! He even knew he had a change in attitude. It's because tomorrows the day. 'Damn tomorrow' Inuyasha cursed and decided he should let Kagome know that the change won't last long.
"Kagome!" He hollered out her name when she was walking down the side walk. Kagome paused and turned to see what he wanted and saw him running across his yard towards her. When he reached her, he pulled her towards him and his lips met hers. It was strange how every time he kissed her it felt more and more exciting. Kagome was surprised. Shocked really, her arms were trapped between them holding her report, and her knees felt weak. When Inuyasha pulled away Kagome knew, just by looking in his blazing eyes that everything was starting to be normal again.
"I feel much better now." Inuyasha whispered to her, his lips just 2cm from hers, his hot breath dancing on her face.
"Me too." Kagome whispered back, and shared a chaste kiss before departing back to there houses. "Night." Kagome said sweetly when she had walked a few steps.
"Night." Inuyasha returned before walking up his lawn back to his house.
Kagome walked up the stairs to the Higarashi Shrine and when she was at the top, a smile spread the corners of her lips.
