Bye Bye, Baby!
Chapter Ten
.

The next day dawned bright, sunny, and Inuyashaless.
Kagome remembered getting up, expecting the familiar sounds of Inu yasha's gentle strumming of a guitar, but instead was met with silence. Upon further examination, she'd found that his room was completely empty of his cocky ego…the only thing that showed he'd even slept in the room was the covers from the bed kicked to the floor.
With a small sigh she searched the apartment for a sign of the egotistical man and came back with nothing.
Shrugging it off as stupid male hormones, Kagome continued with her regular day routine: Getting Moriko ready for school. After walking her daughter to the bus stop and having to endure Hikari's disturbing attempts to start a conversation, she retreated back to her home and enjoyed the peaceful morning completely alone.
All this was short lived, however, as her anxiety and her worried nature seeped back into her and she began to wonder what had happened to her roommate.
Without his large ego and attractive personality, Kagome found the apartment rather dull and boring. Without someone to argue with, she found that she was bored to tears.
She spent her hours staring dully at the TV as she listened to talk show after talk show, her eyes always darting to the clock on the wall and then to the door, her ears poised to hear any kind of squeak from the staircase.
At around one in the afternoon, her wishes were granted and a large, long squeak echoed outside. Kagome jumped to her feet, nearly tripping over the carpet as she rushed to the door and flung it open, "Where have you been!?"
Inu yasha blinked back at her, obviously surprised at her sudden appearance. With a small grin he cocked his head to the side, "Why did you miss me?"
"No, you narcissistic fanatic, I did not miss you. I was just wondering if you were actually coming back or if I could sell your clothes on E-bay," Kagome said darkly and stepped aside, allowing the smirking man to walk in. It was apparent he didn't believe her, and she wouldn't believe herself if she was him.
"Ah, I am flattered to know that you have grown used to my presence, Kagome," Inu yasha grinned and put his arm around Kagome's shoulder.
Kagome squeaked in surprise and pushed Inu yasha off of her, "What is wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" he beamed happily.
Kagome gave him a look before shrugging and entering the kitchen with a yawn. Inu yasha followed behind her, acting as if he hadn't a care in the world.
"Stop grinning like that or I'll tie you to a chair," Kagome gave him a sidelong look.
"Oh, cet est kinky juste simple," Kagome snapped her gaze towards him.
"What the hell did you just say? All I heard was 'kinky' and if its anything like what I think it is, you're going to be sorry."
Inu yasha waved his hand in surrender and rubbed the back of his neck. "Don't be ridiculous, Kagome, I would never say something that would deface you."
"Why do I seriously think you need therapy?" Kagome said hotly.
"Because I do!" he grinned.
"I think you're insane…" Kagome grumbled and rubbed her temples.
"Et je pense que vous êtes beau, mais vous penserez probablement que j'ai dit quelque chose d'autre.." Inu yasha sighed as he closed his eyes.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Kagome felt lost, having no idea what the hell he was saying…much less what language. "I'm going to kill you Takahashi!" Inu yasha raised an eyebrow when Kagome referred to him in the last name.
"C'est Francais. Vous êtes trés stupide. Hélas, je serai abattu," Inu yasha said with a sigh as Kagome began to chase him around the apartment. "Ah, Kagome, why are you harboring these ill feelings? Cannot you say I speak the language of love to you?"
Kagome gave him a look and Inu yasha laughed, using her pause to lock himself in the bathroom.
Kagome growled in annoyance, "You better watch yourself, because one of these days, you're going to wake up and being missing something that makes you a male."
"Kinky!"
Kagome began pounding on the door.

After Kagome had cooled down, Inu yasha dared to leave the sanctuary of the bathroom. Despite nearly being murdered by a disgruntled mother…he still wore the huge grin on his face. Kagome observed him with a deadpan look before handing him a bowl of fruit.
"Here, stop bugging me," Kagome said and continued to make dinner for Moriko, who had recently returned home and was doing homework at the kitchen table.
Of course, her homework was drawing a picture of her self, Hikari, her mother, the Teletubbies and Barney all having a picnic, but you know, for a small child that can be hard work.
"But I don't want to," Inu yasha sat up on the counter before starting to stuff a piece of apple in his mouth.
"You know, I prepare dinner on that counter…and I really don't appreciate your ass sitting there."
Moriko laughed, "Mommy said a bad word!"
"Bad Mommy," Inu yasha grinned and knocked on Kagome's head with his knuckles. "I think you can handle my…" he gave Moriko a grin, "butt being on the counter, besides, you have Windex…soap whatever the hel—heck you use to clean with."
"Fine, do you mind telling me why you're so happy today?" Kagome said as she gave up trying to shoo Inu yasha. "And what you were saying to me in that foreign language."
"Let's see…well, its all very amazing…" He lengthened his words, trying to waste as much time as possible. He grinned and dodged a swipe of a spatula.
"Tell me," Kagome growled out and Inu yasha laughed.
"I got a call from my friend, Miroku this morning," Inu yasha looked at the ceiling as he ate a banana slice. "And he said that there were some people—"
"Who's Miroku?" Kagome asked, cutting him off.
"He's my friend," Inu yasha blinked and ate a grape. "He works down at the grocery store…he gave me free coffee!" Kagome rolled her eyes. "Anyways, he says there was this flyer on the bulletin board at the QFC, and it was a try out for a commercial."
Kagome stared blankly.
"I get to be the villain!" Inu yasha said happily as he gloated about his victory in the entertainment field.
"A villain? Of what?" Kagome asked, very interested.
"Insurance," Inu yasha scratched his head, "I'm the one of the evil money sucking bastards—I mean…mean person…who tries to steal your money!"
"No words can describe my enthusiasm," Kagome said dryly. "And what were you saying in French?"
"Don't remember," Inu yasha shrugged. "But the director said that I should have a French accent. I swear he's racist. The racist pig!"
"Uh huh," Kagome said dryly…the commercial sounded really cheesy. But as long as the moron was happy…
"Yes, yes, its all very horrible. I can tell you're shocked into silence," Inu yasha nodded and he turned to Moriko with a smile. "Whatcha drawing?"
"This!" Moriko held up her completed crayon drawing, and he noticed that she had added himself. He grinned and Moriko giggled, "You're wearing a chicken suit!"
Inu yasha blinked and saw that he was indeed wearing a chicken costume. He chuckled and tried to ignore Kagome behind him, who was fruitlessly trying to suppress her laughter.

SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG! It took me a while to type it and even longer to get my beta motivated. And ignore the periods; those are just to make sure that we have enough spacing. I don't understand it, after months and months of ff.net having issues with eating up spaces, they finally fix it. Then they add this stupid quickedit and the spacing is fucked up again!
Fry's note: Bonjour. Je suis tres evil, buahuhuhuhuhuhuhuh!-- Evil french laugh.
