Chapter 6
It's been about a month since Inuyasha has not seen Sesshomaru's face. He has learned a lot about Kagome's world though the T.V (a box with many small people living in it) and Kagome's lips. He never thought a person would be able to be so kind to him. Even though he never really shown it to her, he has become quite fond with her. She never gets it though. She just thinks he's as stubborn as an ass and too outspoken. Yet as much as she thinks he is on the same bratty level of her harassing little brother (who believes Inuyasha is proof X-men exist), she can't help but sometimes becoming lost in those eyes.
The door of Kagome's house swung open as four teenagers came in. Inuyasha took off the bandanna from the top of his ears and shook his head as his ears popped up. Sango flicked one of his ears before getting a back-off glare from Inuyasha. She simply returned it with a make-me glare and eventually a smirk.
"I am sooo glad I'm home." Moaned Kagome as she threw the shopping bag of Inuyasha's new clothes on Inuyasha's stomach. Hard.
"What was that for?" Inuyasha snapped.
"Easy, Inuyasha," Miroku said casually, "She had a rough day."
"She still don't gotta take it out on me!"
Kagome put a pillow over her face to drown out the arguing. She reflected on what happened that day.
Miroku had taken Inuyasha in the men's department in the mall and the girls could meet them at the food court (of course, Inuyasha complained about everything in the mall especially the bandanna that were flattening his ears). The girls sat down to their Chinese food and Sango was the first to pick up the chopsticks and wolf down the food. After her fifth bite she looked up at Kagome who had not touched her food yet. She simply twirled the sticks into the rice.
"What 's wrong, Kagome?"
"I don't know."
"Time of the month?"
"No!" Kagome looked at her then went back to twirling her food. "I just feel as if.as if something is missing." She searched Sango's eyes for understanding, but found none. She sighed. "Never mind."
Sango didn't have any time to react. There was a loud crash under their table and the table nearly tipped over. Kagome felt something wrap around her leg. She lifted the tablecloth and both girls looked under the table and found a small boy with rusty red hair and eyes. The little boy was clamped on to Kagome's leg, trembling. Kagome eyes grew. He looked up at her with pleading eyes.
"Are-are they gone?" He stammered.
"Hey, kid. You all right?" Sango asked.
The child did not let go of Kagome's leg. His glistening eyes peaked from under the table. He then looked up at Kagome in panic.
"Pl-Please help me!"
"Help you do what?" Kagome barley managed to say. She stopped talking when she felt a large thin hand squeeze her shoulder. She saw Sango glaring at someone behind of her and turned around to see a pale thin young man with cold creepy eyes and an earring of a small spider at the tip of his eyebrow. His smirk made Kagome's blood crawl.
"Why don't you just hand over the brat, darling." Said a voice behind of him. The voice belonged to a pale skin girl with short black hair and a tacky headband.
Kagome glared at her.
"What would you want with this boy, Yura! You just moved here a couple months ago and you're already wreaking havoc! And you, Naraku, you freak, let go of my shoulder! You're hurting me!"
"Why should I?" Naraku mocked, enjoying the feel of Kagome's nervousness.
"The kid is none of your damn business, bitch! Let go of the little bastard!" Yura snapped.
Sango stepped in front of Yura. "And if we refuse?" She growled, folding her arms over her chest.
"Now, now. Let's not make a scene, ladies," Naraku hissed, "This is a civilized place. I wouldn't want to spread blood all over these nice waxed floors, would you?"
After Naraku's threat, the four glared at each other fiercely for a few silent moments. People began to look; thinking a brawl is about to occur. Kagome saw Naraku's beady eyes lingered down to her leg. That's when she remembered the little boy. She took drastic measures, cranked back and slapped Naraku hard enough to distract him. She shook her leg.
"RUN!"
Without hesitation the boy sprinted through the busy food court. Kagome heard a vicious blow and saw Sango in the corner of her eye punching Yura. Naraku clasped his hand around Kagome's neck. Kagome knew she couldn't take Naraku, so she did the only thing she could think of to save her. She kicked him where it hurts. He doubled over and began to curse, still choking her with one arm and holding his lower region in the other. Kagome felt as if she was about to black out while watching Yura pull Sango's hair.
She squirmed under the pressure of her throat, but it was no use. Naraku stood up now, his fist raised high and ready but never made it to her face. It was stopped by Inuyasha's hand. Inuyasha crushed his fist in his hand and Naraku released Kagome instantly, his beady eyes now fixed on Inuyasha. Inuyasha glared at him as he bent Naraku's arm back. Kagome sat down at the edge of the table, gasping for air. Miroku pulled Yura off of Sango. He regretted Holding back Yura instead of Sango after seeing Sango drive a kick in Yura's stomach once her hair was free. The crowd cheered at the entertaining fight. Kagome finally got her breath back and went over to Inuyasha and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Stop it Inuyasha! You are going to break his arm!"
He glanced at her, then fixed his eyes on the Naraku that was now on his knees.
"And why shouldn't I?"
Miroku let some one in the crowd take the hostile Yura over and grabbed Sango's waist. She tried to fight Miroku to get more of Yura.
"Kagome is right, Inuyasha. Let's go before security gets here."
Inuyasha growled, released his hand and covered Naraku's face with the palm of his own hand. He then pushed back Naraku's head with such a force he slammed to the ground. Kagome had slight sympathy for Naraku's new whiplash. Inuyasha stepped over Naraku and began to walk away, the other three followed.
When they reached the entrance, Kagome saw the little boy holding some one's hand. He walked away with the person. The man's shirt read:
'Hewlett Orphanage Inc.' STAFF
Kagome was about to go after him when Inuyasha grabbed her arm.
"Where you goin?" Inuyasha asked.
"He's an orphan, Sango." Kagome pointed out, completely ignoring Inuyasha's question. The others looked at what Kagome was looking at.
"What?" Inuyasha said irritatingly.
"That child.he was the one who started all of this." Sango stated.
"THAT kid?" Miroku asked.
"So?" Inuyasha scoffed.
"Come on guys, the security is coming. I don't feel like wasting two hours of answering useless questions." Miroku cocked his head in the direction of the two fat guards approaching.
The others agreed. Before they left, Kagome saw the boy turn and look directly at her with grateful eyes.
"Why was that boy in so much trouble?" Kagome thought.
A pillow soared across the room and hit Kagome in the head. Kagome pulled the pillow from off her face and looked at her three friends.
"I'm hungry." Inuyasha blurted out as he stood and stretched. Another pillow hit Inuyasha in the back. The sniper was Sango.
"Your ALWAYS hungry."
"Feh.point?"
"Are you okay, Kagome?" Miroku asked.
She sat up. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Who were those freaks anyway?" Inuyasha asked.
No one addressed Inuyasha's question and filed out the room.
"I'm hungry too." Miroku stated.
"Hey! I'm talkin here!" Inuyasha snapped.
"They are exactly what you called them," Kagome replied,"Freaks."
"Yeah," Sango teased, "Like you!"
"Inuyasha chased Sango down the stairs. Shortly after, Kagome's mother came home from work.
"Good evening." She said as she walked in the door. She looked Inuyasha as if he was supposed to say something. Inuyasha blinked.
"Oh, er.good evening."
Ms. Higurashi smiled. She always complains and nags him with his manners, but that didn't bother him as much as when she would play with his ears. He never showed it, but his ear was his weak spot. That is the only part of his body that was ticklish, which is why he couldn't stand how Ms. Higurashi couldn't resist them for at least a day. Those were also the only way to officially tame and please him.
"Hi Ms. Higurashi." Both Sango and Miroku chorused.
"So. Who's hungry?" She asked as Souta walked in the room. Souta put down the bags of groceries and pulled out a bag of Doritos; the snack Inuyasha would roll over for. He held it out in front of Inuyasha.
"I made sure Mom got these Inuyasha." Souta said proudly.
Inuyasha took them gratefully and ruffled Souta's hair.
"Hey, you remembered kid!"
Souta looked up at him and beamed. Sango rolled her eyes.
They all sat down for dinner (the dinner Inuyasha was forced to help make) and Began to chow down. As usual, Inuyasha was to himself, slurping up the food without any air.
"What's wrong, sweetie?" Ms. Higurashi asked Kagome.
Inuyasha looked up from his plate along with everyone else and looked at Kagome for an answer.
"Isn't it obvious? She has been cursed by this mythical creature, "said Grandpa as he pointed his chopsticks to Inuyasha, who rolled his eyes.
"Whatever old man," was Inuyasha's response?
They all laughed except for Inuyasha and Kagome and went back to eating, forgetting the whole question. Every one except Inuyasha. What WAS her problem anyway? It couldn't be the fight, for she had been like this for as long as Inuyasha could remember. Quiet and depressed. Inuyasha took another slurp of noodles before looking up at Kagome. She stared down at her plate, not touching any of her food as if in a trance with the vegetables. Inuyasha rested the chopsticks to his lips and stared. She was not like this the first time he met her. He was like how she was acting now. Like if they switched feelings. But why? He couldn't think of any other reason other than himself. Maybe she is taking on too much responsibility or something like that. She looked up from her plate and caught Inuyasha's eyes. Unlike normal people, who would stop staring at her and mind their own business, Inuyasha kept staring. There were those piercing amber eyes again. The ones that sent shivers down Kagome's spine. Kagome stared back daringly, wondering why his eyes were so, so.she couldn't describe. Above all, why was he looking at her? He narrowed his eyes slightly. Kagome felt like her mind was being read so she broke off the stare and went back to twirling her chopsticks lazily into her food.
"Did you win?" Asked Souta.
Inuyasha caught himself and realized Souta was talking to him.
"Huh? Uh.win what?"
"The staring contest."
"Er, yeah Souta." Said Inuyasha, not having a clue of what he was talking about.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome threw herself on the bed and heaved a deep sigh. This had to stop. She had a sense of doom around her for quite a while now. Almost like something was missing in her life. Or. something has come in her life. She figured it had something to do with all these people suddenly moving in. They were all normal enough, but Kagome felt she had some kind of connection with them. Like she knew them. Then Inuyasha came. That's when she had strange moods-discouraged. It had to be that well. Something was driving her mad-and she was going to find out what.
Inuyasha stared out of the guest bedroom window at the pale moon. Sometimes he wondered why Sesshomaru never let him see sunlight. It must have been too welcoming for a hanyou, but Kagome's people thought different. And then again, he had to cover his ears every time he went outside the house with a cap or a bandanna. Maybe they were nice because they didn't know what he really was.there was a knock at the door, then Souta's head peaking through it.
"Inuyasha, you asleep?"
Inuyasha turned to see Sango's bright eyes. "No, obviously right?"
"Oh yeah, duh." Sango laughed. He invited himself in and handed Inuyasha a paper. There was a pretty decent drawing of Inuyasha, only his head was larger than normal.
"Why is my head swollen?" Inuyasha joked.
"Its called art, big head."
Inuyasha looked at it and nodded his head in agreement. "Ah. I see. It's pretty good."
Inuyasha walked over to the bed and lay down with his face flat in the pillow. Souta smiled and did the same exact thing. Souta began a muffled conversation.
"Inuyasha?"
"Mmm?"
"Why do you sleep like this?" Souta shifted to his side to see Inuyasha shrug. Inuyasha just liked the softness and comfort that he never had before. Souta must have watched Inuyasha snore a few times to know how he slept. Inuyasha wasn't surprised. Souta thought everything about Inuyasha was cool. Inuyasha didn't mind that at all. Inuyasha was never admired or even looked upon for all that matter. Souta felt Inuyasha was his older brother in secret.
"Inuyasha, one more thing."
Inuyasha perked up his ears.
"It's about my sister, Kagome. I don't know where you came from exactly, but I know there must be more like you, and that not all are nice. My sister is a klutz and everything, but she can be nice sometimes too. But she is really stubborn sometimes and thinks she is always independent. But you.you are independent right? I mean you can take care of yourself better than Kagome takes care of herself, right?"
Inuyasha looked up at his pillow. "What's your point, Souta."
Souta stood up and shrugged. "Well all I'm sayin' is keep Kagome safe okay?"
Inuyasha raised a quizzical eyebrow. "Uh.O.K."
"Promise?"
Inuyasha put his face back in the pillow. "Yeah yeah."
"You just made a promise, Inuyasha. If you break that promise, well." Souta walked to the door. "I'm gonna have ta kick your butt."
Inuyasha looked up at Souta's confident grin and smirked.
"Out of my room gaki."
Souta did a raspberry and closed the door. Even though Souta was small, he did make a lot of sense. There were three things he had to agree with Souta on: Kagome is stubborn, she is a klutz and he should protect her. After all, she did save his life, didn't she? That reminded Inuyasha- Miroku bought her a new clock since Kagome broke the last one on Inuyasha's head. Inuyasha took it out of the bag of new clothes and went to her bedroom. He opened the door and left the clock on the nightstand. Something was not right.Inuyasha did not pick up her scent. She was gone.
He looked around the house before going outside.
'Where that dumb girl run off to now?' Inuyasha thought.
He then saw something that made him turn pale. The door of the shrine was open. He ran towards it, trying not to think the worst. As he went in Kagome was jumping down in the well.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" He yelled as he ran towards her. It was too late. He looked down the dark well, not able to see the bottom.
"Kagome? Kagome!" He called. He listened. There was no answer. He jumped down into the well and landed firmly on the ground. He stared at the floor in disbelief. Kagome was gone and Inuyasha was still here.

Inuyasha looked up at his pillow. "What's your point, Souta."
Souta stood up and shrugged. "Well all I'm sayin' is keep Kagome safe okay?"
Inuyasha raised a quizzical eyebrow. "Uh.O.K."
"Promise?"
Inuyasha put his face back in the pillow. "Yeah yeah."
"You just made a promise, Inuyasha. If you break that promise, well." Souta walked to the door. "I'm gonna have ta kick your butt."
Inuyasha looked up at Souta's confident grin and smirked.
"Out of my room gaki."
Souta did a raspberry and closed the door. Even though Souta was small, he did make a lot of sense. There were three things he had to agree with Souta on: Kagome is stubborn, she is a klutz and he should protect her. After all, she did save his life, didn't she? That reminded Inuyasha- Miroku bought her a new clock since Kagome broke the last one on Inuyasha's head. Inuyasha took it out of the bag of new clothes and went to her bedroom. He opened the door and left the clock on the nightstand. Something was not right.Inuyasha did not pick up her scent. She was gone.
He looked around the house before going outside.
'Where that dumb girl run off to now?' Inuyasha thought.
He then saw something that made him turn pale. The door of the shrine was open. He ran towards it, trying not to think the worst. As he went in Kagome was jumping down in the well.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" He yelled as he ran towards her. It was too late. He looked down the dark well, not able to see the bottom.
"Kagome? Kagome!" He called. He listened. There was no answer. He jumped down into the well and landed firmly on the ground. He stared at the floor in disbelief. Kagome was gone and Inuyasha was still here.
