Drunk Men" Thanks! And here it goes....
It was morning. The sun just rose and there wasn't a sound in the Higurashi Shrine. Until......
"KAGOME INUYOSHA!!!!" The kids yelled running into the room.
"Kagome Kagome KAGOME!" Yuki yelled pulling her out of bed.
"Huh.? What?" Kagome asked before plopping back on the bed.
Inuyasha was still asleep.
"Hey, Taki, yell in his ear. He has really sensitive ears." Sota whispered into his ear.
"Ok!" Taki said walking to Inuyasha.
"Ahem. INUYOSHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"AAAACCCCKKKKKK! WHO WHEN WHAT WHERE?!" He yelled. "WHAT IS IT KID?! I'M TRYING TO GET SOME SLEEP HERE!" He said angrily, rubbing on his now red ears. He looked over at Kagome who was being run on by Yuki and groggily rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
"What do want?" Kagome groaned rolling over on her bed.
"You promised you'd take us to the park!" Yuki yelled.
"Yea you too Inuyosha!" Taki said pulling on his haori. Inuyasha yawned. "Whatever." He said before hitting the floor to resume sleeping.
"WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Taki said looking at the two of them. Inuyasha opened an eye to see what the noise was about. Taki's little fingers were headed for the jar that Kagome had the Shikon shards in.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Inuyasha yelled, grabbing the shards.
"No." He said putting it on top of the bookshelf where Taki couldn't reach.
"Bring us to the park? Pwetty Pwlease?" He asked hugging Inuyasha who in return gave an exasperated sigh.
Kagome had a pillow on her head while Yuki was pulling on the sheets.
"You promised!" She said. Kagome yawned.
"My gosh it's only six in the morning."
"Still! You promised!"
"Arg....fine. Come on Inuyasha go put on those clothes we gave you in Sota's room. I'll change. Yuki, Taki, wait downstairs. Be good. Because if anything is broken than we're not going. Understand?" They nodded and smiled, running out of the room and into the living area.
After about five minutes, Kagome and Inuyasha were dressed and ready to go. Much to their surprised Sota and the two kids were already dressed.
Kagome yawned. "Well, let's go."
"Can we go swimming?" Sota asked.
Kagome sighed. "Swimming?"
"There is* a lake over there sis."
"Yea but how about Taki and Yuki? I don't think they know how to swim." She said rubbing her eyes.
"I'll hand them my inflatable giant duck! I have two of them! You can't drown with those things."
"I'm still not sure." She said, worrying if the children would drown.
"If you're so worried, why don't you just go swimming with us?" Sota asked slyly.
"Inuyasha will save us if any "monster" comes out" He said sarcastically.
"COOOOOOLLLLLL!" The children said staring at Inuyasha.
"Right Inuyasha?" Sota asked.
"Uhm, whatever kid." Inuyasha said stuffing all kinds of food in his mouth.
Kagome sighed. "Taki, you are only five, and your sister is only three."
"Hmph!" Taki said, "I take swimming lessons! I can protect my sister! She's starting to learn!" He said, truthfully. His mother let them go take lessons so that they could swim.
(A/N For anyone that doesn't know, there are certain classes that let children as young as five or so to take lessons. ^__^)
"Why don't you get your bathing suit Kagome?" Sota asked.
"I don't feel like swimming." She responded.
"Just take it." He said.
"And what is Inuyasha going to do? Stand there?" She asked looking at the half-demon that was still stuffing food into his mouth.
"Right Inuyasha?" She asked.
"Hmmm? Oh. um.. *chew* right! *chew*" He responded between bites.
"So can we go swimming?"
"We'll need to stop at the store to get Inuyasha something." She sighed.
"Ok!" They said, grabbing Inuyasha and Kagome's hands to walk to the store.
"We are going to have soooo much fun aren't we Inuyosha?" Yuki asked.
Inuyasha grumbled and sighed. "It's Inuyasha. *chew* and I don't know if *chew* we are going to have fun." He said, annoyed still chewing the last remnants of his food.
"Are you mad at me Inuyosha?" Yuki asked with big puppy dog eyes. Inuyasha sighed. He hated it when kids tricked him like that; but still, he gave in.
"No, I'm not mad...."
'Arg...I HATE this..Well, at least Kagome's here. That gives me a bit of comfort, at least.' He thought.
"Okay kids!" Kagome said, "We're here! Come on!" She said, walking into the store.
"Feh. What is this odd place?" Inuyasha asked looking around the store.
"We need to get you something for swimming."
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and went to the clerk. "Excuse me; I'm looking for some trunks for this man." She said pointing at Inuyasha.
"Oh I see! How are you sir?"
Inuyasha looked at the person and grumbled. Kagome smiled nervously. "Excuse his bad manners, he just hasn't had a decent nights sleep for the past week."
"Oh I see I see!"
"Feh."
"Well he looks like a medium to me! Any color in particular that he would want?"
"Uhm...." Kagome turned to Inuyasha. "Hey Inuyasha, you want a certain color?"
"Feh."
"Uhm, yes! Well, I think red would be okay." She said for him.
"Okay.......medium red. Here you go!" The clerk said sweetly. "That'll be $11.50 please."
Kagome pulled out her wallet and took out the money to pay the clerk.
"Eh? Hey, what's that woman?" Inuyasha asked, grabbing Kagome's wallet.
"Um, that's a wallet and it has money in it."
"Money?" Inuyasha asked, poking at it. The store clerk stared at Inuyasha oddly and began whispering things to the other workers.
"Got a problem?!" Inuyasha snapped. The clerk pushed apart from the other workers and tried to fake a smile. "Uhm, no! Thanks for shopping here we hope to see you soon!"
"Can we go NOW?!" Taki asked impatiently.
Kagome sighed. "We're going, we're going."
"Yes! We're going to the park! We're going to swim in the lake! Hey, do you think anyone's going to be in the lake?"
"Doubt it." Kagome said. "People usually go swimming around two or three. It's only not even 7:30 yet." She said.
"Oooohh...." The children replied, winking at Sota.
Inuyasha opened the bag Kagome got from the store and looked in it. 'What's this?' He thought. 'Flimsy piece of cloth. Wonder what's it for.'
"Hey, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked holding up the clothing.
"Yes?" She responded.
"Uhm, what's this for?" He asked.
Kagome stopped dead in her tracks. 'Can't tell him now, or he won't go. Think of a good excuse.'
"It's...to...keep warm!"
"Flimsy cloth like this?"
"Uh,. Yea! One of the wonders if my world!" She said walking ahead. Inuyasha shrugged and put the clothing back in the bag as they headed towards the park.
"Kagome how much longer?" Inuyasha asked looking around, there were barely any people anywhere. 'I guess Kagome was right about no people around in the morning.' He thought.
"We're almost there." She responded. "See that huge green field up there? And that lake? That's the park."
Inuyasha nodded.
"Ooooooooooooooooooooo We almost there!" Yuki yelled happily.
"Yup!" Taki said running to his sister.
"Hey I'll race you there!" Sota said challenging them.
"No that's not a----------"
"GO!" Sota yelled; as two youngsters trailed behind. Kagome sighed.
"This is starting to be a pain." She sighed. "They're way ahead now."
"Hmph! Get on, woman." Inuyasha said; pretending to be annoyed.
"Huh?" Kagome asked looking at Inuyasha.
"Get on my back. I can get there a lot faster than weak lazy humans." He scoffed his face full with pride.
Kagome just looked at him oddly.
"If you don't wanna get on, woman fine with me! I just didn't want you to keep complaining for hours! So don't think I'm offering this because I like you or anything!" He said trying to hide his true feelings.
Kagome shrugged and replied. "Alright, if that's okay with you."
"Feh! I'll be alright. You should be worried about yourself. With my speed and all you could fall."
"You always hold on to me though." Kagome said.
Inuyasha blushed. "That's so.....I...JUST DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA!" He blurted.
'Darn Kagome, why do you make things so tough for me?' He thought,
Kagome laughed and got on her "ride."
"Hold on." He said. Kagome held on and they were off to the park.
*************************************************************
"Wow! He's fast!" Taki said staring at the blur headed their way.
"I told you he had powers!" Sota said. "Okay, on with the plan!"
"He's cool!" Yuki said.
"Come on sis!" Taki said pulling his sister.
"Okay...plan A."
****************************************************************
"We're here." Inuyasha said, putting Kagome down, much to his dismay.
"Yea, but where are Sota and the kids?"
"They're around here somewhere. Their scent is covering the whole place. Looks like they were running around a lot." He said, not knowing which scent to follow.
Taki looked at Inuyasha and pulled his arm up taking a *sniff*.
"Ewww...Taki what are you smelling your armpits for?" Yuki said running from him.
"No, not me." Taki said to himself. "Oh, I was just doing that because he said he can smell us. Do I stink? Do we* stink?"
Sota sweatdropped and sighed. "Uhm, no. He's part demon so he can catch anyone's scent. Not smelly scent, but yea..." He said trying to explain.
Yuki and Taki couldn't understand though.
"Like how a dog detects things!"
"OOOOOOOOHHHHHH COOOOOOLLLLLLL!" They said, trying not to be too loud.
"Taki? Yuki? Sota?" Kagome yelled looking around.
"Don't worry Kagome, the little kids probably are just hiding." Inuyasha said, still not sure of which scent to go after. "All these scents, all these places.." He mumbled. He was standing about seventy feet from Kagome.
****************************************************************
"Okay, scare Kagome, Taki!" Sota said, pointing to a spider near them. Taki smiled and picked up the spider. While Kagome had her back turned to the bushes, Taki snuck up behind her and placed the spider on her leg. It wasn't poisonous or anything, just a regular insect.
'Feels like something is crawling on me.' She thought to herself, turning and looking at her leg.
"AAAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She yelled jumping up and down hoping the spider would just fall off.
Inuyasha heard her cry and ran as fast as he could to her. 'Is she hurt?' He thought frantically. 'I'm coming Kagome!'
"IIINNNNNNNNNUUUUUUYYYYYAAAAASSSHHAA!!!!!!!!" She screamed.
"What is it Kagome?!" Inuyasha yelled.
"GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She yelled pointing at the spider. Inuyasha saw the spider and sighed.
"INUYASHA WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!AHHHHHHH!!!!! IT'S CRAWLING UP!!!! EW!!!!!"
"I'm coming woman!" He said. The spider had crawled up to her upper thigh and Inuyasha was getting a bit uncomfortable. He took it off quickly and set it back on the ground, blushing like mad.
Inuyasha had his back turned to Kagome when Kagome jumped him. "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!" She said, almost choking him.
"Uhm..yea....you...welcome....can't....breathe..." He said gasping.
"Oh sorry about that!" noticing what she had done Kagome jumped off Inuyasha and blushed. She then cleared her throat.
"Well, enough of that, let's go find those kids!" She said, changing the subject.
**********************************************************
"Well, it's a start." Sota said. "At least Kagome jumped him." He said smiling. "Let's make them swim now!" He said.
The two children nodded vigorously and agreed. They jumped out of a bush in front of Kagome and Inuyasha.
"Ack! Where'd you come from?" Kagome asked, eying her little brother.
"We were looking for you guys and you weren't around. Then we heard screaming and we thought we should try and find you."
Yuki and Taki began to suck their thumbs looking as innocent as ever.
Kagome sighed. "We'd better get going home now----------"
"Sis! You said we could go swimming!"
Kagome looked at her brother helplessly. "O....k..."
"Inuyasha, go change in there." Sota said pointing to the men's bathroom. It was a big park, so there was a little restroom in the area.
"Change, for what?" He asked.
"Into that." He said pointing at the bag.
"Put those on like you put on your pants."
"Um...." Inuyasha looked at Sota oddly.
"Well?"
"What do you mean?"
"Put it on!"
Taki ran into the men's restroom and Yuki ran into the girl's restroom. In a matter of five minutes, they were changed.
"WHAT DO MEAN?" Inuyasha asked yet again. "Kagome said that this is just a cloth to keep warm."
"Eheheheheh......." Kagome ran into the girl's bathroom. "Well, I'd better change!"
"Huh?"
"You put that on, like Taki has on."
Inuyasha looked at Taki for the first time. All he had was really really really* short pants on. And....That* was it.
"Uhm, where's the top?"
"There is no top. Just put it on."
"WHAT?! KAGOME?!!!!!! YOU LIAR!!!!!" He yelled.
"Inuyasha, calm down." Sota said. "It's really no big deal! All the guys around here do that!"
"I'M NOT DOING IT!"
"BUT YOU HAVE TOO!!!"
"I'M NOT DOING IT!! WHY WOULD I HAVE TOO?!" He asked angrily.
"BECAUSE!," Sota said, thinking of an excuse "Kagome paid for that, you know, you don't want her money to go to waste."
"FEH! LET IT!" He said angrily.
"Do you know how much Kagome has to work to get money? She has to do chores everywhere* around the house!" Sota said truthfully.
"HMPH!"
Sota sighed. "Alright........I guess Kagome will still have to do double the work she does now to get the money."
Inuyasha sighed. He didn't know anything about this money thing, but listening to Sota, it sounded pretty important.
"Fine..." He mumbled, walking into the men's restroom.
'Got him!' Sota thought happily.
************************************************************************
"Done changing!" Kagome said, walking out with the one-piece navy swimsuit. "Sota? Yuki? Taki?" She said, walking out the door.
"Hey, kid aren't you Kagome's sister?" asked a man.
"Yup!" Sota replied.
"Sota?" Kagome asked noticing Hojo was there with his trunks on to go swimming.
"Kagome? It's great to see you!" Hojo said grabbing her hand.
"Uh.....eheheheh, good to see you too!"
"How's your leg? You can walk? Here! I bought some medicine for you!" He said happily.
"Um, my leg is fine. Thanks. Are you here to swim too?" She asked; hoping that he wasn't.
"YUP!"
'Oh just my luck.' She thought.
Sota sighed and looked at Yuki and Taki and told them about Hojo's "crush" on his sister.
"Hey why don't we just have a date here?"
Sota grimaced and stared at him.
"Actually I'm already here with-----------------"
"Kagome?" Inuyasha said, walking out the restroom.
Kagome smiled happily and waved. "Hey Inuyasha!" Inuyasha looked down at himself and sighed. "You owe me big time." He said, referring to the trunks.
"Of course!" Kagome said happily.
"Um, Kagome who is this?" Hojo asked politely.
"Oh, this is Inuyasha. Inuyasha, Hojo."
Hojo smiled and extended a hand out to Inuyasha. Inuyasha stared at his hand for a while before shaking it.
"Are you on a date with Kagome?"
Inuyasha looked at him oddly. 'What was a date?'
"He's here to spend time with us!" Kagome answered. "He's a really good friend of ours!" Kagome said.
Sota frowned and looked at Inuyasha. He could tell Inuyasha didn't like Hojo.
'Who is this guy? Ho..jo?' He thought. 'Feh, reminds me of Kouga. I don't know why. This guys okay, I guess, as long as he lays off Kagome. He hasn't said anything to end his life yet.' He smirked.
"So Kagome how bout spending some time together today? We can take your friends with us!" He said happily.
'Spending....Time? What the heck does he mean by that?' Inuyasha thought.
"Actually, we were just thinking about staying here and taking a swim!" She said.
"Yea, I mean here!" Hojo said happily.
'Oh go away.' Kagome thought.
"Oh..." Kagome said.
"Hey you wanna go swimming?" Hojo said smiling.
'WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS?' Inuyasha thought angrily getting many ideas.
"ACTUALLY......."Inuyasha interrupted, "Kagome and I are babysitting. She can't really stop watching them. You know kids these days." Inuyasha smirked.
"How about you watch while we* swim!" Hojo said happily not getting the idea.
'Arg.....How bout YOU go away and I STAY WITH KAGOME?' Inuyasha thought angrily, clenching his fists.
Sota looked on worried. Hojo was ruining everything.
"Hojo, I have to watch the kids. I'm going swimming with them and Inuyasha." She replied.
"Can I go swimming with you guys?" Hojo asked.
'NO.' Inuyasha thought,
"Yes. I guess." Kagome responded. Inuyasha turned and looked at her with pure anger. He stomped his way to the edge of the lake.
Kagome sat on the edge while the kids all ran in the lake not noticing Inuyasha's mood.
Sota was splashing the siblings while they laughed and tried to splash him. Inuyasha was already in the water, with his back turned to Kagome.
"How bout a little race? Just one? Your brother and Inuyasha can watch the kids for two minutes."
Kagome nodded.
Inuyasha sat in the water trying to regain his control. 'So there is* a Kouga in Kagome's world. Heck, that could be Kouga's reincarnation!' He thought.
'Keeps talking to Kagome like that...Feh. She deserves WAY better than that jerk. Like some like...like...What am I saying? I don't care if that girl goes off with that idiot.'
'Yea you do.' Said another voice. 'No I don't. I could care less what happens between them. Oh look, there they are swimming together.' He looked, thoughtlessly. 'Swimming together....SWIMMING TOGETHER!! WHY I OUTTA!! I'LL KILL HIM!!!' He thought swimming towards them.
"You beat me Kagome!" Hojo said happily. Kagome smiled and saw Inuyasha headed towards them. She swam towards Inuyasha leaving a very* confused Hojo behind.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing?" She said stopping him.
"LEMME AT HIM!" He yelled as Hojo looked on with blank eyes.
"Inuyasha, calm down! What the matter? Are you jealous again?" She asked blurting out the last few words.
"I'll RIP OUT HIS INTESTINES!! I'LL-----JEALOUS?! WHAT THE HECK MAKES YOU THINK THAT?!" He asked.
'Even though it's true.' He thought smirking.
"ME JEALOUS OF A PUNY LITTLE HUMAN LIKE THAT?! NEVER!" He yelled. "NOW LET ME AT HIM!"
"Inuyasha!" She yelled. "Calm down or I'll use the s-word."
"If you do that I'll drown!" He yelled. Kagome sighed. He was right.
"Just calm down will ya?!"
************************************************************
"Hah! Inuyasha's getting jealous!! It's working!" Sota said from afar.
"This wasn't in the plan though..." Yuki said continuing to suck her thumb.
"But everything is going okay. I'm just hoping Hojo can live another day."

"No." He said putting it on top of the bookshelf where Taki couldn't reach.
"Bring us to the park? Pwetty Pwlease?" He asked hugging Inuyasha who in return gave an exasperated sigh.

"Why don't you get your bathing suit Kagome?" Sota asked.
"I don't feel like swimming." She responded.
"Just take it." He said.
"And what is Inuyasha going to do? Stand there?" She asked looking at the half-demon that was still stuffing food into his mouth.
"Right Inuyasha?" She asked.
"Hmmm? Oh. um.. *chew* right! *chew*" He responded between bites.
"So can we go swimming?"
"We'll need to stop at the store to get Inuyasha something." She sighed.

"Yes?" She responded.
"Uhm, what's this for?" He asked.

"It's...to...keep warm!"
"Flimsy cloth like this?"
"Uh,. Yea! One of the wonders if my world!" She said walking ahead. Inuyasha shrugged and put the clothing back in the bag as they headed towards the park.
"Kagome how much longer?" Inuyasha asked looking around, there were barely any people anywhere. 'I guess Kagome was right about no people around in the morning.' He thought.
"We're almost there." She responded. "See that huge green field up there? And that lake? That's the park."

"Huh?" Kagome asked looking at Inuyasha.
"Get on my back. I can get there a lot faster than weak lazy humans." He scoffed his face full with pride.
Kagome just looked at him oddly.
"If you don't wanna get on, woman fine with me! I just didn't want you to keep complaining for hours! So don't think I'm offering this because I like you or anything!" He said trying to hide his true feelings.
Kagome shrugged and replied. "Alright, if that's okay with you."
"Feh! I'll be alright. You should be worried about yourself. With my speed and all you could fall."
"You always hold on to me though." Kagome said.
Inuyasha blushed. "That's so.....I...JUST DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA!" He blurted.
'Darn Kagome, why do you make things so tough for me?' He thought,
Kagome laughed and got on her "ride."

*************************************************************
"Wow! He's fast!" Taki said staring at the blur headed their way.
"I told you he had powers!" Sota said. "Okay, on with the plan!"
"He's cool!" Yuki said.
"Come on sis!" Taki said pulling his sister.
"Okay...plan A."
****************************************************************
"We're here." Inuyasha said, putting Kagome down, much to his dismay.
"Yea, but where are Sota and the kids?"
"They're around here somewhere. Their scent is covering the whole place. Looks like they were running around a lot." He said, not knowing which scent to follow.
Taki looked at Inuyasha and pulled his arm up taking a *sniff*.
"Ewww...Taki what are you smelling your armpits for?" Yuki said running from him.
"No, not me." Taki said to himself. "Oh, I was just doing that because he said he can smell us. Do I stink? Do we* stink?"
Sota sweatdropped and sighed. "Uhm, no. He's part demon so he can catch anyone's scent. Not smelly scent, but yea..." He said trying to explain.
Yuki and Taki couldn't understand though.
"Like how a dog detects things!"
"OOOOOOOOHHHHHH COOOOOOLLLLLLL!" They said, trying not to be too loud.
"Taki? Yuki? Sota?" Kagome yelled looking around.
"Don't worry Kagome, the little kids probably are just hiding." Inuyasha said, still not sure of which scent to go after. "All these scents, all these places.." He mumbled. He was standing about seventy feet from Kagome.
****************************************************************
"Okay, scare Kagome, Taki!" Sota said, pointing to a spider near them. Taki smiled and picked up the spider. While Kagome had her back turned to the bushes, Taki snuck up behind her and placed the spider on her leg. It wasn't poisonous or anything, just a regular insect.
'Feels like something is crawling on me.' She thought to herself, turning and looking at her leg.
"AAAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She yelled jumping up and down hoping the spider would just fall off.
Inuyasha heard her cry and ran as fast as he could to her. 'Is she hurt?' He thought frantically. 'I'm coming Kagome!'
"IIINNNNNNNNNUUUUUUYYYYYAAAAASSSHHAA!!!!!!!!" She screamed.
"What is it Kagome?!" Inuyasha yelled.
"GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She yelled pointing at the spider. Inuyasha saw the spider and sighed.
"INUYASHA WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!AHHHHHHH!!!!! IT'S CRAWLING UP!!!! EW!!!!!"
"I'm coming woman!" He said. The spider had crawled up to her upper thigh and Inuyasha was getting a bit uncomfortable. He took it off quickly and set it back on the ground, blushing like mad.
Inuyasha had his back turned to Kagome when Kagome jumped him. "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!" She said, almost choking him.
"Uhm..yea....you...welcome....can't....breathe..." He said gasping.
"Oh sorry about that!" noticing what she had done Kagome jumped off Inuyasha and blushed. She then cleared her throat.
"Well, enough of that, let's go find those kids!" She said, changing the subject.
**********************************************************
"Well, it's a start." Sota said. "At least Kagome jumped him." He said smiling. "Let's make them swim now!" He said.
The two children nodded vigorously and agreed. They jumped out of a bush in front of Kagome and Inuyasha.
"Ack! Where'd you come from?" Kagome asked, eying her little brother.
"We were looking for you guys and you weren't around. Then we heard screaming and we thought we should try and find you."
Yuki and Taki began to suck their thumbs looking as innocent as ever.
Kagome sighed. "We'd better get going home now----------"
"Sis! You said we could go swimming!"
Kagome looked at her brother helplessly. "O....k..."
"Inuyasha, go change in there." Sota said pointing to the men's bathroom. It was a big park, so there was a little restroom in the area.
"Change, for what?" He asked.
"Into that." He said pointing at the bag.
"Put those on like you put on your pants."
"Um...." Inuyasha looked at Sota oddly.
"Well?"
"What do you mean?"
"Put it on!"
Taki ran into the men's restroom and Yuki ran into the girl's restroom. In a matter of five minutes, they were changed.
"WHAT DO MEAN?" Inuyasha asked yet again. "Kagome said that this is just a cloth to keep warm."
"Eheheheheh......." Kagome ran into the girl's bathroom. "Well, I'd better change!"
"Huh?"
"You put that on, like Taki has on."
Inuyasha looked at Taki for the first time. All he had was really really really* short pants on. And....That* was it.
"Uhm, where's the top?"
"There is no top. Just put it on."
"WHAT?! KAGOME?!!!!!! YOU LIAR!!!!!" He yelled.
"Inuyasha, calm down." Sota said. "It's really no big deal! All the guys around here do that!"
"I'M NOT DOING IT!"
"BUT YOU HAVE TOO!!!"
"I'M NOT DOING IT!! WHY WOULD I HAVE TOO?!" He asked angrily.
"BECAUSE!," Sota said, thinking of an excuse "Kagome paid for that, you know, you don't want her money to go to waste."
"FEH! LET IT!" He said angrily.
"Do you know how much Kagome has to work to get money? She has to do chores everywhere* around the house!" Sota said truthfully.
"HMPH!"
Sota sighed. "Alright........I guess Kagome will still have to do double the work she does now to get the money."
Inuyasha sighed. He didn't know anything about this money thing, but listening to Sota, it sounded pretty important.
"Fine..." He mumbled, walking into the men's restroom.
'Got him!' Sota thought happily.
************************************************************************
"Done changing!" Kagome said, walking out with the one-piece navy swimsuit. "Sota? Yuki? Taki?" She said, walking out the door.
"Hey, kid aren't you Kagome's sister?" asked a man.
"Yup!" Sota replied.
"Sota?" Kagome asked noticing Hojo was there with his trunks on to go swimming.
"Kagome? It's great to see you!" Hojo said grabbing her hand.
"Uh.....eheheheh, good to see you too!"
"How's your leg? You can walk? Here! I bought some medicine for you!" He said happily.
"Um, my leg is fine. Thanks. Are you here to swim too?" She asked; hoping that he wasn't.
"YUP!"
'Oh just my luck.' She thought.
Sota sighed and looked at Yuki and Taki and told them about Hojo's "crush" on his sister.
"Hey why don't we just have a date here?"
Sota grimaced and stared at him.
"Actually I'm already here with-----------------"
"Kagome?" Inuyasha said, walking out the restroom.
Kagome smiled happily and waved. "Hey Inuyasha!" Inuyasha looked down at himself and sighed. "You owe me big time." He said, referring to the trunks.
"Of course!" Kagome said happily.
"Um, Kagome who is this?" Hojo asked politely.
"Oh, this is Inuyasha. Inuyasha, Hojo."
Hojo smiled and extended a hand out to Inuyasha. Inuyasha stared at his hand for a while before shaking it.
"Are you on a date with Kagome?"
Inuyasha looked at him oddly. 'What was a date?'
"He's here to spend time with us!" Kagome answered. "He's a really good friend of ours!" Kagome said.
Sota frowned and looked at Inuyasha. He could tell Inuyasha didn't like Hojo.
'Who is this guy? Ho..jo?' He thought. 'Feh, reminds me of Kouga. I don't know why. This guys okay, I guess, as long as he lays off Kagome. He hasn't said anything to end his life yet.' He smirked.
"So Kagome how bout spending some time together today? We can take your friends with us!" He said happily.
'Spending....Time? What the heck does he mean by that?' Inuyasha thought.
"Actually, we were just thinking about staying here and taking a swim!" She said.
"Yea, I mean here!" Hojo said happily.
'Oh go away.' Kagome thought.
"Oh..." Kagome said.
"Hey you wanna go swimming?" Hojo said smiling.
'WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS?' Inuyasha thought angrily getting many ideas.
"ACTUALLY......."Inuyasha interrupted, "Kagome and I are babysitting. She can't really stop watching them. You know kids these days." Inuyasha smirked.
"How about you watch while we* swim!" Hojo said happily not getting the idea.
'Arg.....How bout YOU go away and I STAY WITH KAGOME?' Inuyasha thought angrily, clenching his fists.
Sota looked on worried. Hojo was ruining everything.
"Hojo, I have to watch the kids. I'm going swimming with them and Inuyasha." She replied.
"Can I go swimming with you guys?" Hojo asked.
'NO.' Inuyasha thought,
"Yes. I guess." Kagome responded. Inuyasha turned and looked at her with pure anger. He stomped his way to the edge of the lake.
Kagome sat on the edge while the kids all ran in the lake not noticing Inuyasha's mood.
Sota was splashing the siblings while they laughed and tried to splash him. Inuyasha was already in the water, with his back turned to Kagome.
"How bout a little race? Just one? Your brother and Inuyasha can watch the kids for two minutes."
Kagome nodded.
Inuyasha sat in the water trying to regain his control. 'So there is* a Kouga in Kagome's world. Heck, that could be Kouga's reincarnation!' He thought.
'Keeps talking to Kagome like that...Feh. She deserves WAY better than that jerk. Like some like...like...What am I saying? I don't care if that girl goes off with that idiot.'
'Yea you do.' Said another voice. 'No I don't. I could care less what happens between them. Oh look, there they are swimming together.' He looked, thoughtlessly. 'Swimming together....SWIMMING TOGETHER!! WHY I OUTTA!! I'LL KILL HIM!!!' He thought swimming towards them.
"You beat me Kagome!" Hojo said happily. Kagome smiled and saw Inuyasha headed towards them. She swam towards Inuyasha leaving a very* confused Hojo behind.
"Inuyasha, what are you doing?" She said stopping him.
"LEMME AT HIM!" He yelled as Hojo looked on with blank eyes.
"Inuyasha, calm down! What the matter? Are you jealous again?" She asked blurting out the last few words.
"I'll RIP OUT HIS INTESTINES!! I'LL-----JEALOUS?! WHAT THE HECK MAKES YOU THINK THAT?!" He asked.
'Even though it's true.' He thought smirking.
"ME JEALOUS OF A PUNY LITTLE HUMAN LIKE THAT?! NEVER!" He yelled. "NOW LET ME AT HIM!"
"Inuyasha!" She yelled. "Calm down or I'll use the s-word."
"If you do that I'll drown!" He yelled. Kagome sighed. He was right.
"Just calm down will ya?!"
************************************************************
"Hah! Inuyasha's getting jealous!! It's working!" Sota said from afar.
"This wasn't in the plan though..." Yuki said continuing to suck her thumb.
"But everything is going okay. I'm just hoping Hojo can live another day."
