## BROADWAY TROUBLES ##
DISCLAIMER : Seriously, the only thing that totally ruin my day is saying this. I-don't-own-Inu-Yasha!!!
SCENE # 6 = The Breakup, The Dog, And The Rap
Sango is confused. Miroku is also confused. It was way passed midnight and the 'Broadway Troubles' crew had just managed to arrive at their destination, due to some unexpected troubles that had occur. The couple was standing, perplexed, at the lobby of their five-star hotel. Both stared blankly at each other, as if they had just seen each other for the first time. What made them confused was this:
On the other side of the lobby was Inu Yasha. And guess what's with him? A puppy. A very cute, very cuddly puppy. Now, neither Miroku nor Sango knew how he managed to have such a charming dog. Let us now look at the other side of the lobby, where Kagome was now sitting down, her head moving steadily to the rhythm of the new CD player on her hands. The earphones are placed on her ears, the rap music blasting off so that people around her could hear the music.
"Okay, this is so not the Kagome I knew." Sango mumbled, looking at her.
"And that is so not the Inu Yasha I knew." Miroku mumbled back, looking at Inu Yasha.
First of all, Inu Yasha was not the type of oh-I-love-animals-that-is-why-I- am-currently-playing-with-one! In fact, Inu Yasha despised animals (despite the fact that part of his name means dog -.-) and never in all his years with him, Miroku had ever seen his best friend playing with a dog.
Now, Kagome. As far as Sango knew (and man, she knew a damn lot), Kagome never listens to rap music... wait, correction... Kagome hated rap music. She always say that people who sing rap were only people who has no sense of art and has brain malfunctions (A/N I seriously meant no offense to people who love rap. I, myself, love rap music. So don't get it into your heart :P). And now, here she was, nodding her head enthusiastically to the beat.
Miroku cleared his throat.
"Ohmigod, please tell me I'm imagining things. Inu Yasha did not let that little puppy licked his face!" Sango's eyes turned around and observed Inu Yasha. Sure enough, there he was. Laughing happily because the little puppy had just managed to make his whole face wet. Then, instinctively, she turned around and look at Kagome. She had to blinked a few times before she believed what she was seeing.
Kagome had stood up and was dancing smoothly to the song. The only thing that made Sango glad was that there was almost no one in the lobby, or she would have made quite some performance there. Okay, something is definitely wrong here. She cocked her eyebrows at Miroku, who sighed in response and went to Inu Yasha, while she went towards Kagome.
"Okay Kag, what the hell happened to you?" No answer. The only response she got was another twist of Kagome's hands. Sango rubbed her temple furiously, tried to count to 10, failed, and with a whack of her hand, she took the earphones away from her cousin. Kagome blinked at her as if Sango had suddenly grew another head.
"Well, hello Sango. 'Sup?" Again, Sango rubbed her temples dangerously.
"It's one in the morning, we're in a public area, and here you are dancing like some stupid person, listening to RAP music!" Sango almost shouted. No, she's not angry with Kagome, oh not at all, just... what's the word? ... oh yeah... giving her some advises. Kagome flinched at the volume Sango was making, but really, this was normal.
"Hey, it's not as if anyone's here to see me dance. And what's the problem with rap?" Kagome added. Sango stared at her for a few seconds.
"That is exactly the problem!"
"What is?" Kagome asked stupidly.
"You listening to rap!" Sango almost shrieked. Kagome suddenly grinned.
"What? I just learned the beauty of it, you know?" she said. Sango's curiosity grew. Okay, this has got to do with what happened today. Her eyes narrowed before she decided to ask her boss (so to speak) what had happened.
Miroku stood in front of the unnoticing Inu Yasha. Miroku was staring, wide-eyed, at the actor in front of him. Inu Yasha had just spoke to the puppy. He had actually spoke to the creature he wouldn't look at just 24 hours ago! Oookay. Miroku took a deep breath before he sat down beside Inu Yasha and cleared his throat.
"Dude, what the heck are you doing?"
Inu Yasha looked up from his puppy and smirked at Miroku.
"Miroku, have you met Gisella? (A/N Don't look at me like that... that's my dog's name!) Don't you think she's the most gorgeous creature in the whole world?"
Miroku's face twisted into an ugly look as if he had just swallowed a slug. This is NOT Inu Yasha. Definitely NOT Inu Yasha. If Inu Yasha had noticed Miroku's look, he must have ignored it, because he returned back to Gisella and played with her once more.
"Inu Yasha... did something happen to you? I mean..."
"Huh?" Inu Yasha asked stupidly, putting his attention back to Miroku again.
"You... err... never played with dogs before..." Miroku said, trying to speak patiently instead of freaking out right there (he had a strong, strong, STRONG desire to do that).
"Oh, people change." Inu Yasha answered simply.
'Yeah, but not you!' Miroku thought in response. Instead of showing his thoughts, however, he once again cleared his throat.
"Something did happened today. Besides, you disappeared the moment you and Kagome-sama saw Kikyo and Naraku together." Miroku commented. He didn't hesitate to say Kikyo in front of Inu Yasha. He found it rather stupid for Inu Yasha to still even have any feelings for the damn girl.
Inu Yasha, unlike what Miroku had expected, didn't even flinch at the sound of Kikyo's name, which was another thing that was not usual.
"Maybe I should tell you what happened." Inu Yasha said as he put Gisella on the floor gently and grabbed the keys some crewmembers were handing out. "But once we started unloading."
Miroku's eyebrow raised with curiosity. His eyes went straight towards Sango who had just sighed with anxiety. He walked straight at her.
"So any explanation from Kagome-sama?" he asked her. Sango sighed heavily.
"I wish. She said she's going to tell me everything after we unload our stuffs. Then she went back to that rap music of hers." She said furiously. Miroku reached out and placed his hands on her shoulders.
"What about Inu Yasha?" she asked. This time, Miroku sighed.
"Exactly like Kagome-sama. I think something happened the moment they were chasing after Kikyo and that stupid bastard Naraku."
LATER ON IN MIROKU'S ROOM
So the whole gang had practically met in Miroku's room. Miroku had insisted Inu Yasha that something truly was wrong with him while Sango had just said that something is not right with Kagome, period. Both Inu Yasha and Kagome had complained about the time (it was currently 2:48 a.m.) but Sango and Miroku had both reasoned that tomorrow was a day off and that they could wake up late.
"So what do you guys want to know?" Kagome asked, yawning heavily.
"What happened?" Both Sango and Miroku asked at the same time.
"What do you mean, 'what happened'?" Inu Yasha asked.
"Duh. Kikyo and Naraku." Miroku said. These names unaffected Inu Yasha, but Kagome cast a downward glance. Sango noticed this and whacked Miroku.
"Okay. So I'll tell you guys what happened." Inu Yasha started.
FLASHBACK
Inu Yasha saw Kikyo, clinging on to Naraku's hand tightly... the way she used to do with him. He felt angry, furious... betrayed. How dare she, that bitch, did this to him?!?!?! After all he did for her. After all those sacrifices and stupid things he did for her. Ooh, he's going to let some anger out, trust me. He quickly rushed after her, trying to keep a cool face... which he failed miserably.
Kagome saw Naraku, caressing Kikyo's hair tenderly (A/N Trust me, 'tenderly' is not the word!!!) as if in slow motion. Sure, she said she had forgotten about him. But, no. Deep down, she's not even ready yet to accept the fact that they broke up already. It's quite ironic, really, since she normally wouldn't even give a second glance at bastards like that. But Naraku... he's different. He seemed to have this effect on her. Some stupid, idiotic effect that Kagome had tried for years to get over.
So, out of the sadness, grief, and anger, she followed Naraku and Kikyo. She knew that she should not even have looked at them, but she couldn't help it. And besides, she needed some explanation from that bastard Naraku. How she's going to get it out of him... she didn't know. All that mattered now was to talk to him.
So Kagome went together with Inu Yasha. The two of them, however, barely noticed the other's presence. They walked stiffly and furiously towards the unsuspecting bastard-like couple. Inu Yasha reached them first and he immediately grabbed Kikyo's wrist and turned her so she was facing him.
Her eyes widened at the sight of her supposed-to-be-boyfriend. She quickly jumped from Naraku's hand and she cleared her throat, trying to regain her composure. Her eyes flew towards Kagome who was having a staring contest with Naraku and then she cleared her throat.
"Why, Inu Yasha... I'm surprised to see you here!" She squeaked. Inu Yasha only growled.
Naraku had turned around, following Kikyo. He had given Inu Yasha a shock look before his instinct told him to look behind him. What he saw made him choke... not with surprise... but with humor. There she was, the girl he used to call his love. Well, he never meant that, but it was a fun thing to do when he broke up with her... seeing her in tears and all. (A/N DAMN BASTARD! I'M GOING TO KILL HIM SOON!)
Kagome was speechless. When was the last time she had looked at those deep, black eyes of his? She wasn't sure of how she was feeling. A twisted, painful, but angry feeling rushed through her heart as she stared at him. She didn't even hear Inu Yasha's response towards Kikyo's.
"Yeah, you should be. I mean, who'd ever thought you would meet your boyfriend when you're having an affair, huh?" he said sarcastically. Kikyo's face turned red, despite the heavy makeup she put on.
"An affair?" she laughed squeakily. "Oh nooo. What are you talking about? I just met Naraku by coincidence."
"Oh yeah sure. Then what was the clinging on about?" Inu Yasha asked.
"Clinging? Seriously, Inu Yasha, what are you talking about?" Kikyo laughed her fake laugh. Then she tried to hug Inu Yasha, but he backed away before she could even get near him.
"Kikyo..." his voice suddenly turned very serious. Kikyo knew that tone well. When Inu Yasha had this tone, he meant business... serious business. So she ceased her 'innocent' game and instead looked at him, trying to smile.
"I don't know what happened to you. I mean, first you met Naraku." Inu Yasha put a great distaste on that name and he looked up at Naraku, who was looking at Kagome. But he couldn't care less. "And then all these stuffs happened." Kikyo put her acting experience into action in a flash.
"Inu Yasha..." she cooed. "I'm sorry. I was really stressed. I thought that a vacation would do me good... and I was thinking of going home... really." She said, battling her eyelashes at him. If Inu Yasha had been a fool, he might have believe her. But Inu Yasha was not a fool.
"Then whatever happened to the trip to Las Vegas or Hawaii or whatever?" Inu Yasha snapped. Kikyo saw the mistake she had made and quickly changed the topic.
"Well Inu Yasha. I was just about to ask you the same question. Why are you here together with... uhm... Higurashi?" Kikyo asked, looking straight at Kagome, who was still at a staring contest with Naraku. That was when Inu Yasha had really (I mean, really) realized that Kagome was standing beside him.
The young actor was just about to say something rude towards Kagome, but when he saw her expressions, his mouth immediately shut. Sure, there was this clear anger and furious glare in her eyes, but there was definitely something more than that. Sadness. It shocked Inu Yasha greatly when he noticed the hidden grief and longing inside her usually cheerful eyes. Anyone who looked deeply enough could see that she was holding back tears.
Inu Yasha was just about to reached out and hug her (it's not everyday that he thinks like that... but at the moment, he's just not himself, okay?) when he suddenly remembered his situation. He cleared his throat and narrowed his eyes at Kikyo.
"Kagome just happened to be another victim of that new boyfriend of yours." With these words, Kikyo realized where this conversation was going.
"W... Wait a minute Inu Yasha. You're not saying that you want to... want to..."
"Want to what?" Inu Yasha snapped. "End this never-going-anywhere- relationship? Hell, actually, that's a good idea. Yeah, I should do that." Inu Yasha said sarcastically. Then he added with such calmness that it even dragged Kagome's attention. "Kikyo, let's break up."
Kagome's jaw dropped mentally. Inu Yasha did NOT say that. I mean, come on. Breaking up with Kikyo? Inu Yasha who, a few hours ago, were looking so upset just because Kikyo wouldn't tell him where she is? And now he's breaking up with her? No way in hell!
Kikyo must also have a hard time believing what she had just heard. Inu Yasha, her lovesick puppy, someone who was basically addicted to her... just said that he wanted to end their relationship? This is SO not happening...
Stammering and stuttering (lolz, isn't that like the same thing?), Kikyo tried to 'make some sense' towards Inu Yasha.
"Inu Yasha... baby... you know you don't mean that. You're just saying that out of wrath. Okay, fine... I apologize because I guess I did kind'a get too close with... uhm... Naraku..." saying this, Kikyo's eyes glanced at Naraku, who smirked and looked away. "But, that truly didn't mean anything! You know that I cannot live without you, Inu Baby. Will you please forgive me?"
Inu Yasha was silent for a few moments. Kagome stared hard at him, not sure exactly what to think. Honestly, if she was forced to bet what Inu Yasha's answer would be, she would bet her money on Inu Yasha accepting Kikyo's apology. That just proved she was really, really surprised when Inu Yasha did not.
"Naw, I don't think I can believe you this time, Kikyo. I mean, everybody knows how good of an actress you are, and yes, that is a compliment, and probably the last compliment you'll ever receive from me." stated Inu Yasha calmly. Both Kagome and Kikyo's shocked faces seemed oblivious to him, because he continued with that same tone,
"And besides, I don't think I have anymore special feelings for you. I don't know... but I think I might have fallen for someone new." For a split of second, his eyes darted towards Kagome, but it could just have been an imagination, because then, his eyes had stared back at Kikyo with disgust.
Kikyo's reacted with her mouth hanging open while her eyes stared unbelievingly at Inu Yasha. All the while, searching for the possible doubt inside his eyes. Unfortunately, she found none, which could only mean one thing... he's not lying. At that exact moment, one single thought went through her brain:
Who the hell dared to steal my Inu Yasha away from me when I was gone?
Naraku, who had been emotionless as ever since the whole incident, suddenly smirk. Nobody noticed this however, and he was lucky. It seemed as if he had realized something... like the fact that Inu Yasha had glanced at Kagome the moment he had said he had fallen for someone new. His smirk only widened at the new plot he had in mind.
Kagome's reaction was close to Kikyo, except that she was full of shock instead of full of anger. Inu Yasha, who seemed to have finally realized Kagome's unbelieving stare at him, only smirk.
"You want to close that mouth of yours, before a fly decided to come in and destroy your whole throat. I thought singers care a lot about those things." He teased. Immediately, Kagome closed her mouth and blushed.
Kikyo, who was still covered with shock didn't see the whole scene. Naraku, however did, and his smirk tripled in size (lol, that is scary!). Finally, after what seemed like ages, Kikyo stomped her feet and turned around and quickly disappeared in the crowd.
Inu Yasha then looked at Naraku, who shot him a sly glare and was just about to disappear when suddenly a firm voice interrupted the whole situation.
"Naraku..."
Inu Yasha and Naraku immediately turned their heads towards Kagome, who had indeed spoken that bastard's name.
"Naraku..." she tried again, but her throat locked up and she couldn't say anymore.
"What is it? You have no right to waste my time anymore, you know." came the drawl of Naraku. Kagome looked at him straight in the eyes and Inu Yasha could just realized the strain of pain emitted on her face.
"Naraku... were you really going out with Kikyo?" Kagome had tried her best, using all her acting abilities, to not show just how badly she wanted to ask that question. But, she failed, and her words ended up in a stammer. Naraku smirked.
"Me? Going out with Kikyo? Hmm..." he walked closer towards Kagome. "Probably. Girl, don't tell me... you actually don't want me hanging close with her?" He said, grabbing Kagome's wrist and pulling her towards him.
Kagome knew what this meant and she panicked. She was just about to scream for help, or probably kick him, or even punch him in the nose when the stupid bastard did something that totally made all these thoughts disappeared in a flash. He reached out and covered Kagome's lips with his.
The kiss barely lasted for a second, because the next moment, Naraku (the bastard!) had disappeared, and there stood Inu Yasha, looking extremely pissed. Kagome blinked a few times before the whole scene registered in her mind.
Naraku had landed on the floor, his nose bleeding slightly because Inu Yasha had hit him straight on his left cheek. But instead of getting furious and started hitting Inu Yasha back, he smiled his creepy smile and stood up while wiping his bloodstain.
"Well, well, well... it seemed that someone ruined our moment, love. But don't forget..." Naraku walked closer towards Kagome again, who this time hid herself protectively behind Inu Yasha. "Never forget that my feelings for you never changed."
And with that said, he disappeared.
Inu Yasha breathed heavily before he could finally straightened up and looked back at the girl behind him. Then, trying not to sound too concerned, he asked her,
"Are you okay?"
Kagome's hand had covered her lips and her eyes were still covered with both shock and fear. She then looked up at Inu Yasha and tried to crack a smile.
"Oh yes. I'm fine, thanks." But even Inu Yasha could tell that she was not fine.
"Sheesh, the last thing I want is having some girl crying because of a jerk." He murmured to himself. Without saying anything, he gently grabbed Kagome's wrist and began to walked her somewhere. This did seemed to at least grabbed Kagome's attention.
"I... Inu Yasha? Where are you taking me?" Inu Yasha didn't answer her, instead he just continued walking somewhere. After a few minutes of walking, Kagome tried again to reason with this crazy Inu Yasha.
"You know, the whole crew must be looking for us right now. Sesshoumaru would not be pleased if we went somewhere without telling him." Still, Inu Yasha ignored her. Kagome knew she should be panicking, I mean, she hardly knew Inu Yasha and here he was, taking her to some unknown place. Strangely, she somehow felt secured and safe. She didn't put it into much thought, however, for Inu Yasha soon stopped. Kagome looked up and saw a building saying: "MUSIC FOREVA!"
Oookay, so Inu Yasha had took her to a music store? Now, this didn't make any sense at all. Inu Yasha smirked when he saw Kagome's expression.
"You're a singer right?" he asked, even though he already knew the answer. Kagome nodded absent-mindedly.
"Okay, so I take it you like music?" he asked. Once again, Kagome nodded absent-mindedly.
"Awesome." Then Inu Yasha walked in, Kagome, confused, followed him. The people inside stared at them with their mouths wide open. In a flash, the manager was right in front of them.
"Come on in, come on in." he stammered. "What might you be looking for?" he asked, looking from Inu Yasha to Kagome. Inu Yasha raised his eyebrow.
"Would you happen to have one of her CD-s?" he asked, pointing at Kagome, who once again looked at him in a puzzled way. At this question, the manager looked at Inu Yasha as if he was saying: duh-any-descent-music- store-must-have-Kagome-Higurashi's-CDs! But then he bowed down and showed Inu Yasha where Kagome's CDs were.
When they reached Kagome's section, Inu Yasha shooed the manager away while he examined Kagome's 1st album (A/N Let's just say Kagome has 2 albums). Kagome gave Inu Yasha a weird look before she himself decided to look around, even though her thoughts eventually landed on a certain someone... Naraku. Finally, after a few minutes, Inu Yasha broke the silence.
"You don't have a single rap or metal music here. Dude! You don't even have rock or R&B!" His eyebrows furrowed together as if the CD in her hands was the queerest thing in the whole world. Kagome frowned instantly.
"Metal? Rock? Rap?" she hissed, completely forgetting her previous thoughts. "Who would ever want to listen to those things? They have no sense of art, no sense of civilized behavior. How can you even think right when you're listening to those-so-called-music?" she said with disgust. Inu Yasha pretended to look insulted. (A/N I don't like metal... -.- lol, just tellin!)
"Hey, what are you talking about? Those stuffs are real music. These things you sing and hear... they only talk about broken-hearts. What good does that make you feel?" Inu Yasha said, scrunching his nose with disgust.
"They show the beauty and the reality of life!" Kagome shot back. "Try listening to it, you'll soon think that metal and rock are nothing but fake music!"
"Feh." Inu Yasha snapped. "I'll listen to your stuffs when you listen my stuffs." Inu Yasha said proudly. (All of you respected readers, you should know that when Inu Yasha said 'your' stuffs, he means pop and all those stuffs while he said 'my' stuffs, he meant metal, rock, etc.)
Kagome, who would never say no to a challenge from miles around, put her hands on her waist and said,
"Fine! Grab whatever you want me to listen, and you grab any CD from this section." Kagome said heatedly. Inu Yasha smirked.
"I already have a CD from this section." He said, pointing at Kagome's album. Kagome blushed, but tried not to show it.
"Okay, so now choose a CD for me." she mumbled. Inu Yasha smirked.
And the next, you know what happened. Kagome turned out to fall in love with ... Inu Yasha's music.
Anyways, so what happened after that was, Inu Yasha bought a CD player for Kagome (which really is no big deal for him), and the two of them were starting to walk back to where the crew must be waiting for them. While Kagome was starting to figure out the beauty of rap and rock, Inu Yasha was observing Kagome's CD. Unknown to Kagome, he had managed to slip in her 2nd album, meaning that he had bought all her CDs.
He couldn't believe that he actually couldn't wait until he had the chance to hear her songs, although he wouldn't admit that in a million years. So the two of them were lost in their own thoughts until they reached halfway of their journey before Kagome's sharp eyes caught something.
A pet shop...
She immediately squealed (guess she couldn't help herself -.-;) and this caught Inu Yasha's attention. He turned his head into the direction of the pet shop and almost immediately twisted his face with disgust. Kagome, who didn't notice Inu Yasha's new facial features, hold his hand and (literally) screamed at his face.
"Ohmigod Inu Yasha! See that cute little kitten? Or that cuddly puppy? Or even that lazy, cute looking rabbit? Ohmigod, aren't they the most cuddly creatures in the whole world?" she squealed. Inu Yasha frowned with disgust as a response.
"Feh. All I see are some stupid animals lurking in a shop." He replied. Kagome looked at him with shock.
"Ohmigod Inu Yasha. Don't you like animals?" she asked. Inu Yasha looked at her, as if saying: why-the-heck-would-I-pay-any-attention-to-something- that-are-as-worthless-as-trash? Kagome sure got the message of the look and pouted.
"I can't believe it! Why do you hate animals so much?"
"I'm about to ask you the same question. Why do you like animals so much? They don't worth my time. And besides Kikyo told me that animals are nothing but worthless creatures..." Inu Yasha then stopped, as if he had just realized what he had said. Kagome cocked an eyebrow.
"Kikyo?" she almost sneered, but stopped herself. She then realized something. If Inu Yasha didn't like animals because of Kikyo... then he personally still thinks about her. She grinned at the sudden idea that popped in her head. She took Inu Yasha's hand and dragged him inside the store.
"What the heck? What are you doing?" Inu Yasha asked, sounding really suspicious. Kagome only laughed. When they had entered the store, the noisy sounds of the animals entered their ears and made Inu Yasha very uncomfortable (snickers).
"Hey, I'm going out." He said suddenly. Kagome looked at him, surprised.
"Why?"
"Because, I hate it here, and I hate animals." He said, stating the obvious. And before Kagome could stop him, he walked away. But he did hear what Kagome shouted though.
"Okay! But be sure to wait for me, okay?!" He waved his hand to show he had heard her and went outside.
He then sighed and took a deep breath. His thoughts began to walk randomly until it stopped at one person: Kikyo.
Sure, he acted all tough and happy about the broke up, but he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep at ease tonight. The problem was, he truly, deeply loved her. So how the hell was he suppose to be able to live without her? The only reason he had managed to break up with her was because of Naraku, and... Kagome. He didn't know why, but everytime he looked at her, he feels as if everything would be okay.
"Feh. She's just a stupid wench with a funny face. That's why I always smile when I saw her face." He mumbled to himself, forcing himself to believe what he had just said. But Kagome... she reminded him of Kikyo. But of the lovely times he had with her, not when she had changed into some slut.
The first time he had met Kikyo... she was such a sweet, calm girl. Sure, she wasn't famous at that time, and barely anyone knew her. And then, her name started to be declared everywhere in the world, and she started to... change. How could someone change so drastically? Is it because of fame? Money? Attention? Inu Yasha had all of these, and he still remained the same as he was before.
And Kagome... she's a sweet, kind girl even though she was as famous as Kikyo, not to mention, she was raised by an unlimited amount of attention and money, being the daughter of an-Oscar-winning-actress. Funny as it seemed, but Kagome seemed to be a normal girl on her 20s. Kikyo, however, acted as if she owned the whole world. Is that the girl Inu Yasha had fallen in love with?
No
Inu Yasha had loved the former Kikyo, not the Kikyo right now. Ironically, the Kikyo that he loved had disappeared... gone forever. He couldn't help but to feel this loss and pain inside his stinging heart, but he knew that this was the best decision he could make and he hardly regret it. But...
"Kikyo..." he murmured.
"Kikyo?" a girl's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts. Inu Yasha knew this voice. He turned around and came face to face with Kagome, who was looking at him with concerned eyes. But then he saw something else. A dog. It was a white husky, and very fat too. It would have been very cute... if only Inu Yasha like animals.
"Don't tell me you wasted money to buy that dog!" said Inu Yasha, as if Kagome had just grown another head. Kagome pouted.
"Hey, don't just call her 'another dog'. She has a name you know?" she snapped. Inu Yasha twisted his face in disgust and began to walk. Kagome soon followed him, picking up Gisella into her arms.
"So, anyway, her name is Gisella. And she's still soooo young. I'm so lucky to have her. The manager came to me and said that she was really special and that many people had their eyes set on her. But the manager really liked her and so she wouldn't give it to random people who she knew wouldn't give a lot of attention to Gisella... plus she cost a lot too. I wasted all my cash in my wallet. Sango will not be pleased." Kagome added in a whisper.
Hearing this, Inu Yasha smiled secretly. Kagome sometimes still acted like a 5-year-old.
"But then," continued the actress, "she's such a sweet girl, isn't she?" she said, looking at Gisella. "And besides..." she then trailed off. Inu Yasha cocked an eyebrow (even though he wasn't listening to half of what she said).
"Besides?" he asked, urging her to continue. Kagome gave him a sideways glance before (hesitantly) continued her sentence.
"Besides... I have a feeling that if you learn to like animals... it might be easier for you to forget her." Kagome looked down and seemed to be mildly interested at her shoes. Inu Yasha was struck dumb at Kagome's forwardness. Even though he had did the exact thing for her (bought her something she disliked to make her forget about Naraku), he would never in a million years tell her about his actual plan.
Inu Yasha was silent for a few seconds and Kagome continued to stare at her shoes, all the while wondering why she even care about her co-worker so much. That's because she's a kind girl who wants to help anyone in trouble... that's it.
"Hey..." Inu Yasha suddenly said, breaking the icy silence. Kagome finally looked up from her shoes.
"Yeah?" Her eyes grew in confusion when Inu Yasha suddenly smirk.
"In case you didn't notice, your beautiful Gisella seemed to have been called by... uhm... nature call." Said the smirking Inu Yasha. Kagome opened her mouth before realization went through her brain. Her arms are wet.
She looked down and saw that Gisella had 'went to the toilet' on her arms!
"Eeeeeeeew!" Kagome shrieked, but didn't let go of Gisella. What could she do? Throw her straight on the hard, stoned street and possibly injure such a sweet puppy?
Inu Yasha laughed hysterically at Kagome's dilemma. One side told her to immediately throw Gisella away and walked straight to the nearest bathroom, and the other side told her to hold on tight because she doesn't want to hurt her new pet.
This continued on for a few minutes before the white husky decided to stop. When it did, Kagome's hands were very, very wet (not to mention smelly, lol!) and Inu Yasha was crying with laughter.
Immediately, Kagome placed Gisella on the floor and stood up slowly. She then saw the mess on her hands and her beautiful black tank top.
"Aaaaw, shit!" she cursed. Inu Yasha only doubled in his laughter when he saw Kagome gave Gisella dirty looks (the dog only looked back at her while wagging her tail ). He didn't even realize that Kagome was eyeing him evilly. Then, the next second, Kagome jumped at him and wiped her wet hands at his hot (plus expensive) shirt. Inu Yasha immediately stopped laughing and cursed.
"What the hell?!?!?!" he shouted, and jumped back from Kagome. Luckily, they were at a place where there were only a few people, and those people were old, meaning that they hardly knew who the two people were. (No offense to old people. Personally, my parents are cool, and they know almost all the singers I knew... so GO PARENTS! Lol... jk!)
"Hahaha, got you!" Kagome shouted, pointing at Inu Yasha happily. Inu Yasha soon got in the mood and grabbed his wet shirt and tried to place it on Kagome's face. Kagome, sensing danger, immediately jumped away from him and started to run. Inu Yasha followed in hot pursuit, and Gisella... well, all of you who have dogs... you know what she'll do.
The two of them laughed all the way until both were tired from running and stopped at a bench in front of a park.
"Maaan, that was..." Kagome stopped to breathe, "... fun." Inu Yasha's eyes glistened.
"Yeah. I haven't had this much excitement for so long."
Then both of them laughed again. After that, the two searched for a store to buy new clothes. Finally, they found one and so they changed.
And so, they continued their 'journey' to go back to where the other staff members must have been waiting for them. Inu Yasha then leaned down and picked up Gisella.
"Hey, you're a smart girl. You should pee on Kagome more often, you know that?" he asked, talking to the dog. Kagome laughed and slapped Inu Yasha's hand gently.
"Maybe she'll pee on you right now!" she said, and immediately Inu Yasha placed her on the street. The two laughed at the same time. That was when Gisella licked Inu Yasha's foot. He laughed even more and once again picked her up and talked to her again.
"You're really naughty, you know that?" he told her (fancy seeing Inu Yasha talking a dog, lol!) and Gisella licked his whole face.
"Hey, Inu Yasha..." Kagome said.
"Yeah?" he asked, his whole attention still on Gisella.
"You can have her. I was planning to give her to you, anyway." Kagome smiled warmly at him. Inu Yasha stared at her hard before smiling happily and returned back to his dog.
And that was how Inu Yasha learned his love towards the white husky.
END OF FLASHBACK
Sango's mouth was open. Miroku's mouth was also open. Why? Because the two of them couldn't believe what they had just heard and also... the two of them realized something that both Inu Yasha and Kagome didn't realize.
Immediately, the two exchanged glances and realized that the other was thinking the exact same thing:
THESE TWO ARE FALLING IN LOVE!
'And they didn't even realize it happening!' Sango told Miroku through their mind reading abilities.
'How lucky is Inu Yasha to have Kagome-sama right after he broke up with that bitch Kikyo?' Miroku (literally) yelled through their 6th sense conversation.
The two nodded at each other and grinned happily. This really was a scary sight for both Inu Yasha and Kagome, who both had sweat dropped repeatedly.
After Sango and Miroku had finally decided something that both the actors didn't know about (hmm... wonder what they're thinking? :D:D:D), all of them went to their own rooms. Since Kagome had insisted that she wanted a room together with Sango, the girls had a little 'talk' late that night.
"So... you're having a great time with Inu Yasha, huh?" Sango said, sneering at Kagome. Kagome, who was completely blinded by the darkness, didn't catch her best friend's tone. (And besides, they have separate beds).
"Oh yeah! He's actually a great guy. Who'd ever thought that he could be as caring as he actually was? Even though he probably didn't realize it, but I know how kind he actually is. You know, when Naraku had..." Kagome trailed off, but then continued again, "when he had did that, I couldn't help but feel really depressed. And then, guess what? He bought me a CD to make me forget about him. He might thought I didn't realize his real intention, but of course I did. His sincerity really could touch someone's heart. He totally deserve someone better than that Kikyo."
Sango snickered.
"So you're saying that you like him?"
"Oh yeaah, he's a great friend." Kagome, again, answered casually. Sango smiled.
"Oh no... I mean, so you like him right? Like as in... love?"
Kagome choked the moment she heard what Sango had said.
"Me? With Inu Yasha? Helloooo? Is there any connection there?" Kagome immediately faked a chuckle. Sango snickered.
"Oh come on. It's not impossible..." Kagome forced a laugh.
"Yeah, sure." Kagome said sarcastically. "Nothing is impossible for you."
"Seriously, Kag. I see potential within the two of you..."
"Whoa! Potential?" Kagome laughed. "You're talking as if we're getting married or something..."
"Hey! Inu Yasha's a great guy!" Sango said, defending herself.
"Trust me... 'great' is not the word." Kagome said, rolling her eyes, despite the fact that Sango couldn't see her.
"Oh come on. You can't tell me that you didn't notice his true personality."
"Well, if Inu Yasha has such an awesome personality, why don't you just hook up with him?" Kagome said, snickering at herself. Sango choked.
"No can do." She said, after regaining her composure. "My heart is held captive in Miroku's palms."
At these words, the two girls laughed. Hard to believe it, but Sango was truly in love with that pervert.
'Oh well... they're a great couple anyway.' Kagome thought to herself. 'I should be happy for them...'
"So anyway, Miroku and I can hook you up with Inu Yasha if you want to..." Sango said, her eyes glinting with mischief. Kagome gave a dry laugh.
"Thanks but no thanks. I think I don't need someone to make my love life more complicated than it already is." Kagome said, shifting under her silk blankets.
"Are you sure? It would be sooo easy to hook you up together. And can't you see how fun it will be?" Sango said excitedly. Kagome groaned.
"Dude, Sango. I seriously need to do something about that matchmaking hobby of yours..." Sango laughed once again.
"No, seriously Kag. Have faith in me on this one. I can see you walking down that aisle together with Inu Yasha..."
"Walking down that aisle? Whoa! Marriage suddenly? Whatever happen to getting to know a guy before starting a relationship? And besides... I don't want to have any relationship at the moment." Explained Kagome. Sango was silent after that. The two girls knew that Kagome was talking about a certain guy, namely Naraku.
Finally, after what seemed like ages, Sango cleared her throat.
"Well, it's been a rough day for you. Guess it's better for you to get some sleep."
"Yeaah, sleep is good." Kagome said, smiling suddenly.
"And you need all the energy you got for tomorrow. Remember, Kouga Wolf is in the house!!!"
Kagome groaned. Silence soon dominated the two girls again... and, in no time at all, the two fell to a dreamless sleep.
