Chpt6: Play Day!Kagome smiled cheerfully as she helped her father finish up the last sword that had been ordered. "Good job Kagome, thanks for the help ^-^" said Mr.Higurashi as he wrapped the sword. "No problem dad" Kagome said as she exited the hut. "Ohio, Kagome!" came the words of a young man with brown hair as kagome stepped outside. "And what a wonderful morning it is Houjo-kun" Kagome replied warmly. "Hia, um, Kagome.. I..I was just.. I was just wondering if-" "Kagome nee-san!!!!!!!!" called a small village girl cutting houjo off. "Why hello Mutsumi, and how are you today" Kagome said as she hugged the small girl back "Kagome nee-san, come play with us!" Mutsumi said excitedly pulling Kagome's hand. Soon kagome and several of the village children were rolling in the soft grass. Finally kagome came to a stop at the bottom of a grassy hill holding her stomach while giggling when she felt some one poke her…and then they poked her again and again… Kagome looked around, and then spotted some kind of, monkey poking her???
~*~
"Stop poking me you monkey!!!" Kagome yelled as she sat up in bed, now awake. Inuyasha's eye twitched "M-monkey??!!! I AM NOT A MONKEY!!!!!!!". "Naw, I must have been talking in my sleep" Kagome said waving her hand in dismissal.
"Great, not only are you stupid, but you dream about monkeys too!" Inuyasha said smirking."Anyways, I just came to tell you that you missed breakfast because you're so lazy and stupid" Inuyasha said a glint of mischief in his eyes.
Then they were both quite and just stayed there in an awkward silence for what seemed like hours, but was really just a few seconds…. Kagome put a finger to her chin, tilted her head, and squinted her eyes a bit. Inuyasha looked around him and then looked at Kagome again "what is it?"he asked. Kagome rubbed her chin a little "Oh nothing, I was just thinking, if you look close enough, you do actually kinda look like a monkey". Inuyasha clenched his fists and gritted his teeth "Damn you mom" he muttered under his breath as he exited the room hastily.
~*~
"Inuyasha! I heard you calling Kagome stupid!" Lady Mio said angrily. "Ya, but mom, she was calling my KoInu!!! " . "Oooooooooh, I remember when I gave you that nickname! It was so kawaii! Wonder why I stopped calling you that" Lady Mio said rubbing her chin. "Now listen up KoInu" "MOM!!". "Don't interrupt me while I'm speaking young man! Now back to what I was saying, you need to be polite towards Ms Kagome, make you a deal, you be nice, I wont call you KoINu, ok?". Inuyasha sighed in defeat "fine mom"…
~*~
Kagome slipped on a Yukata and headed for the kitchen. "I think some fruit would be good for breakfast today" Kagome said as she opened the kitchen door.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhh" came miroku's loud cry as he flew through the air and strait into Kagome. "Ay, Kagome, Arigatou for breaking my fall" Miroku said. "Baka! I tell you time and time again, STOP GROPING ME OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!!!" Sango said angrily while glaring at miroku.
Kagome just sat there trying to push miroku off of her 'I'm going to suffocate! He's a lot heavier than he looks!' Kagome though wearily. Sango stopped yelling at miroku the second she noticed that Kagome was still pinned to the floor by miroku's fat but "Miroku! Get off of Kagome you lecher!" Sango scolded as she pushed Miroku off of Kagome and bent over to give kagome a hand.
Miroku smiled naughtily as he watched Sango bend over to help kagome up. *WAAAM* Sango dusted off her hands as she finished helping Kagome up "Come on Kagome, lets get you some breakfast" Sango said as she and Kagome walked away leaving a slapped and unconscious miroku behind….
~*~
"Swo, dat miokoo guy, wach is stowy" Kagome said while in the process of eating her fruit. Sango rolled her eyes "It'd be a lot more easy to understand what you are saying, if your mouth wasn't full. "Aw, gwomen" Kagome responded before swallowing. "eh, Gomen" Kagome said embarrassedly "What I said is, that miroku guy, what's his story?" Kagome said pronouncing it all with clarity this time.
"Well, he is a perverted lecher who can't be trusted with his wandering hands. He has a terrible personality, and he's so ugly" Sango paused, and then continued on dreamily "so ugly, with his stark black hair, and those deep blue eyes…". Kagome stared at Sango a spark in her eyes.
"sooooooo, since you dislike him so, you wouldn't mind if I went after him would ya?" Kagome said earnestly. Sango practically choked on the water she was drinking "y-you, go after him!!!?". Kagome nodded.
Sango thought frantically "Well, um um, well you see.. you shouldn't, because, um, because he's, he's uh, he's not good enough for you, and um…". Kagome practically died from trying to hold in her laugh, but finally managed to suppress is "so Sango, you are saying that I shouldn't go after him… because you like him?".
Sango's eyes seemed to grow to the size of plates right then "How do you know!!!?" she asked frantically. Kagome laughed a little "It's only as obvious as the blush on your face Sango, I think it's kinda sweet".
"Don't tell anyone!" Sango said making Kagome promise to not say a word. "Not a word" Kagome said making the gesture to lock her lips and throw away the key. Sango sighed relieved "ok then, well I've got to get back to cooking and whatnot, see you later, Kagome". "Ja Ne sango" Kagome said as she hopped of the counter she was sitting on and headed outside the kitchen.
~*~
Kagome walked out into the gardens, the warm sun washing over her face. She didn't know why, but for some reason she was drawn to this particular part of Inutaisho's home.
"Hey, Kakoke!" Ryuichi called out as him and his twin Ryohei where jogging over to Kagome. "It's Kagome remember!?" Ryohei said exasperatedly. "Uh, hey guys, whats up?" Kagome said smiling.
Ryuichi started "well you see Kakoke" "Kagome!" Ryohei said elbowing ryuichi. "Um ya, Ka-go-me" Ryuichi said pronouncing each syllable. "Anyways" Ryuichi continued "We were wanting to play capture the lunch but we are short one player and we were kinda hoping you'd play. "Capture the lunch?" Kagome asked quirking her head to the side.
"Well ya" Ryohei said "It's basically the same thing as capture the flag, except, instead of the other teams flag you have to capture the other teams lunch". "Uh-huh, well sure, I suppose I'll play" Kagome said cheerily.
"Feh" Suddenly Inuyasha came up behind them "I doubt she'll be able to win" He said smirking arrogantly. "We'll see" Said Ryohei "Anyways, Sesshoumaru, Keita, and me will be on a team. And Inuyasha, Kagome, and Ryuichi will be on a team" Ryohei finished.
"Ok then lets get this started!" Ryuichi said as each team headed to their side of the garden. "Here's the plan, Ryuichi I want you to just run out there on their side like there's no tomorrow, and while you are distracting them I'll get their lunch.. oh, and kagome, you just stay back here, and guard our lunch or something" Inuyasha said waving his hand at her.
Ryuichi looked at Inuyasha "But hey, I wanted to be the one who guards the lunch!" He huffed. "That's fine then, you guard the lunch, and I'll help get the other teams lunch, ok Ryuichi?" Kagome said smirking at Inuyasha. "Sounds like a plan to me!" Ryuichi said as he plopped down next to their team's lunch.
"Dear Kami now we really are going to lose" Inuyasha muttered under his breath. "Hey, you guys ready?" Keita called out from the other side of the garden. "Ya we're ready" Inuyasha yelled back. "Ok, GO!" Keita yelled as both teams took off.
Kagome ran, and soon enough she was on the other team's side "Ok, If I just duck behind a rose bush here, and crawl under a couple of leaves there, I should be fine" Kagome mumbled to herself. "Fat chance" Inuyasha said as he came up along her. "You're going to get caught easily with all of that talking to yourself". "Just shut up." Kagome replied.
The she looked around cautiously "Ok good, no one around" She said quietly as she suddenly shot up and started racing for the other team's lunch. "Oh no you don't!" Inuyasha said as he was soon behind her "I'm going to win the game for our team, not you!" He said swiftly.
"Well I think that you're both going to lose" Said Sesshoumaru as he suddenly swung out and barley missed Inuyasha by an inch. "Crud" Kagome muttered "better pick up the pace". "You're not going to get it first kagome!" Inuyasha called as he got out of Sesshoumaru's reach and caught up with Kagome.
They were now both running side by side the apposing teams lunch just 10 feet away from them. "come on, just a little faster" Kagome thought pushing herself as hard as she could. "Almost there, that victory is mine!" Inuyasha though eagerly.
7 feet away, 5 feet away, 3 feet away "GOT YA!!!" Keita yelled as he jumped out in front of the lunch and tagged them both. "I was so, close…" Kagome said catching her breath. "Damn you, I was going to win!" Inuyasha said angrily.
"Hey guys!" Ryuichi waved from the other side of the garden where he and Ryohei sat eating the lunches. Kagome turned and lifted the cloth that should have been covering the other team's lunch, and found a rock instead.
Sesshoumaru, Keita, Inuyasha, and Kagome just stood there for a moment jaws hanging. "Why you little vermins!" Inuyasha yelled "The whole time we were playing the game, the both of you plotted against your own teams, just so you could eat OUR
Lunch!"
"It's not our faults" Ryuichi said. "Ya, if you hadn't been so focused on beating Kagome, YOUR OWN TEAM MATE, you might have noticed us eating the food sooner" Ryohei said in a matter of factly way.
Inuyasha balled up his fists, then flexed his claw "I'll kill them!" Inuyasha yelled as he stampeded towards the twins. "Oh crap!" Ryohei said as both he and ryuichi grabbed all of the food and made a run for it.
"Morons" Sesshoumaru simply stated. "How truly pathetic" Keita said boredly. "You get back here!" Inuyasha yelled as he and the twins zoomed past Sesshoumaru, Keita, and Kagome. "How long do you think they keep running" Kagome asked.
"Probably a long while still" Sesshoumaru replied yawning. "Yes, we might as well head in and grab something to eat from the kitchen while Inuyasha and twins play 'ring around the rosy'" Keita said as the three walked off to the manor, leaving Ryuichi and Ryohei still running away from Inuyasha like headless chickens.
~*~
Inuyasha walked in tiredly from chasing the twins. "Crazy bakas" he muttered as he entered the dining area where he found Kagome. "Stuffing your face eh?" Inuyasha remarked sitting down across from her. "Kagome looked up half way through a bite of her turkey sandwich. She swallowed "Yes, yes I am, deal with it KoInu" She said promptly before taking another bite.
"Feh" Inuyasha muttered before leaning on the table boredly. There they sat in silence for a couple of minutes. Kagome finished eating and sighed. The she stood up, walked around the table and sat down next to Inuyasha staring him hard in the eye.
Inuyasha swetdropped and looked around himself nervously "why is she staring at me like that, scary .;;;" He though gulping. "Inuyasha!" Kagome said abruptly. "Uh, y-yes kagome?" Inuyasha replied worriedly. "Truce!" Kagome said happily.
Inuyasha fell. "All that freaking me out and all she said was truce, I thought she was going to try and beat me up or something" Inuyasha though wearily. "Truce?" he asked quirking an eyebrow. "Yes, we obviously didn't start out on good terms, and it's been a competition since then, so I'm offering you a truce" Kagome finished.
"Eh? Well, I, I guess so" Inuyasha said as he held out his hand for her to shake finalizing it. But what she did was completely unexpected, and was definitely not a hand shake. Instead she hugged him! It may have only lasted a few brief seconds, but like some say, An instant is forever…
"She, she's hugging me… and, it's not as terrible as I thought it'd be! It's actually kind of nice, she's got this warm, and inviting feeling to her" Inuyasha thought feeling his cheeks heat up.
"Well then, I'm going off to rest a little now" Kagome said as she stood up and straightened out her Yukata. "Ja ne Inuyasha-kun" Kagome said with a short wave as she left.
Inuyasha just sat there in stunned silence… In a total of 3 minutes, Kagome had made a truce with him, hugged him, made him blush profoundly, AND added 'kun' to his name. Something told Inuyasha that it was going to a lot better being Kagome's friend rather than her enemy, much better. It's true what they say, when Kagome hugged him, that instant did last forever, but for some reason Inuyasha felt himself thinking forever just wasn't long enough…
