Changing the Mind

Chapter 5 – Help?

"Hey Sango-Chan!" Kagome chirped over the counter. Sango jumped then turned around.

"Hey Kagome-Chan!"

"Hey! How come the shop is selling outside?"

"Oh! My boss said that since it was a nice day outside, he told me, Kagura, and Chi to work outside beside the picnic tables." Sango peered over Kagome's right shoulder. "Kagome, who are they?" whispered Sango. Kagome turned around to see a smiling Inuyasha and a dreamy look Miroku.

"Oh, my bad... Sango, this is Miroku Ori and Inuyasha Takahashi! They go to our school." Kagome said pointing to each of them.

"Hi..." They both said at once.

"Hello! Well then, what can I get you guys?"

"I want 2 scoops of ice cream! Strawberry with vanilla on top!" Kagome chirped, throwing her fist up in the air.

"U-u-uh... 2 scoops... M-m-mint with c-c-chocolate on top...p-p-please..." Inuyasha said dully while he watched Kagome jump. Miroku stepped up. "Well, what do you want?" Said Sango as she leaned over the counter. Miroku blushed.

"I want 2 scoops... um... same as Inuyasha's please..." Sango smiled.

"You sure are cute!" With that, Sango left to get the orders while Miroku was blushing.

***Inuyasha and Kagome- sitting at a picnic table...



"Ok Inuyasha! Rock, paper, scissors!" Kagome threw down paper when Inuyasha threw down rock. "Ha! I win!" Kagome did a victory dance.

Inuyasha sweat dropped. "Heh...heh... y-y-yeah... you won..."

"Hey Inuyasha?" Kagome sat down in front of him.

"Y-y-yeah?"

"Can you be my tutor for math?" Inuyasha's eye's widened.

"W-w-what?!"

Kagome puppy eyed him. "Oh, please! You know how bad I am in math! Please! I'll help you in exchange!" Inuyasha thought for a second. 'Maybe she can help me stop stuttering? Then I can be popular! Think about all the girls that will swoon over me! But... why do I have a bad feeling about this? I feel like I'm using her...' Inuyasha shook the feeling off.

"O-o-ok! I'll help you. IF y-y-you will h-h-help me stop s-s-stuttering..."

"DEAL! When should we start?!"

"U-u-um... Today?"

"GREAT!" Kagome smiled happily. Then frowned. "Where's our ice cream?" She looked behind her and saw Miroku and Sango flirting with each other. Kagome laughed.

"W-w-what is it?" Inuyasha looked over her shoulder and started laughing. Kagome pulled Inuyasha's arm. He blushed.

"C'mon! Let's get started and head over at your house!" Kagome dragged Inuyasha as she ran towards his house.

"K-K-Kagome! MATTE!" Inuyasha barely shouted.

*Inuyasha's House*

"Inu-Kun! Are you okay?" Kagome shook Inuyasha's shoulders. 'I-I-Inu-Kun?!'

" *pant* H-h-hai...*pant* I'm fine...*pant* "

"Okay then!"

*KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK



A young woman in her 30's opened the door. She had long black hair to her knees and sparkling violet eyes.

"Oh hello! It's you again! Kagome right?" Ms. Takahashi said in a sweet voice. Kagome smiled and bowed.

"It's very nice to meet you too, Ms. Takahashi..."

"Oh! You don't have to call me that! You can call me Chisana or mother-in- law!" Inuyasha blushed.

"M-m-mom!" Kagome and Chisana giggled.

"Mind if I come in?" Chisana jumped.

"Oh my! So rude of me! Please! Come in! Come in!" Chisana said as she motioned her hands inside. Kagome giggled.

"It's alright Chisana-san. I came here because Inuyasha agreed to help me with math since I'm horrible at it..." Chisana giggled.

*AHEM



Chisana and Kagome turned their heads to see an impatient Inuyasha, tapping his foot by the stairs.

"Oh, gomen! I will leave you two now. I will bring cookies and tea later on. Now hurry..." Chisana left.

Kagome looked around the living room. It was so...so...nature-ish. She saw antlers hanging on the walls, a gun above the fireplace, and many more nature things.

"Nice house. It's so..."

"N-nature-ish... I-I-I know... Let's g-go to my r-r-room..." Kagome nodded and followed him up the carpet stairs. He led her through the hallway and opened the first door to the right.

"W-w-well...this is m-my r-room..." Kagome stared in awe.

Inuyasha had anime posters posted on his walls. There was (A/N: I don't own any of these! *o*!) Full Metal Panic, Gundam, X, Tenchi Muyo, Ranma, Yu Yu Hakusho, Oh! My Goddess, Chobits, Card Captors Sakura, and a lot more that she couldn't name. She saw a computer at the corner of the room. She went forward it to see many CD's. They were more Japanese animation.

"Sugoi! Inu-kun! Your room is so COOL!!" Kagome squealed. Inuyasha blushed.

"Yeah.. T-t-t-thanks..."

A/N: Sorry if all my chapters are short! GOMEN! Thanks for reviews! –Loving- Miko-To-Hanyou
