A/N: Thanks for more reviews. Whew! Houjo sure is hated, I don't like him that much either, demo… Hehe! I'd like to make some thank-you's. To Kagome Wannabe: Thank you for telling me that. I wouldn't have ever figured it out in a million years.

Chapter 15: Convertible Trouble

Sango and Miroku had been cruising around the place for forever now and there was still no sigh of Kagome and Houjo. And to make matters worse, they couldn't find Inuyasha either. Sango hoped that he hadn't done something bad to Houjo or something.

Miroku sensed her uneasiness and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "Let's not worry about her, I'm sure Inuyasha had found her by now. We should just walk around, as if we intended to go here…uninterrupted."

Sango turned her eyes to the sky. The moon was so full; she couldn't help but give in. "I guess so."

Inuyasha had finally decided to just go by himself, but that started a big commotion. The man at the gates kept laughing and holding on to his stomach to suppress it. "You're going in alone?"

 "Yea, got a problem? Because if you do, I know I can solve it for you," Inuyasha said menacingly, jacking the man up by his collar.

"No, no." He suddenly cleaned his act. "Please, go on in. Free of charge."

"That's what I thought." He dropped the man and walked inside. He sniffed around for Kagome. Then he spotted her, sitting with Houjo on some bench.

When Kagome hadn't answered, instead staring down at her feet. Houjo quickly spoke, his cheeks blushed and full of embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Kagome, I never should have asked you that you're Inuyasha's girlfriend, aren't you?"

"What I'm—"

"Yea, that's right, buddy, so why haven't you got it through your thick skull yet?"

Kagome knew that voice. She looked up to see Inuyasha towering over the two. "I-Inuyasha? What are you doing here?"

"Look, Houjo, why don't you go suck a egg?" Inuyasha pushed him off, ignoring Kagome's question.

Inuyasha turned to Kagome. "Come here, now." He glared back at Houjo as Kagome looked angrily at Inuyasha, excused herself from Houjo and walked towards him. "What are you doing here?" she hissed.

"Doing you a favor."

Houjo didn't know why he had asked her that. He knew that she loved that new student, Inuyasha. She was his girl and… and… No, he just couldn't sit and let that be. He wanted them to become more than friends. That was why Houjo had invited her to this little date; in hopes she would change her mind. No matter what, he was gonna get her…

Miroku and Sango walked down the path. It had little roses thrown down it and there was shimmering water on both sides. It was shaded by tons of trees, but if you stood in one spot you could see the moonlight perfectly through it.

"Miroku, I think we're straying away from everyone." There was no answer. "Miroku…"

"I'm listening. But you don't have to be surrounded by people all the time."

"I suppose so."

"And besides, I know the way back."

"Yea right."

Sango grasped onto Miroku's hand as they continued. She wanted to make sure he didn't do anything to ruin her night.

"Let's go back," Kagome said taking his hand. "I've got to find Houjo so I can apologize."

"Apologize?! For what?"

"Your behavior."

Inuyasha complained and made an argument but Kagome dragged him back anyway and made the proper apology to Houjo. She even managed to get a small 'Sorry' from Inuyasha although he'd muttered 'Sike' underneath his breath.

"It's okay. You didn't have to apologize. You probably need a lift home, don't you? I'd be glad to take you," Houjo said with a smile. Kagome quickly thank him and they were on the way to Houjo's convertible. Inuyasha stared at it in disgust before hopping in the back of the car. Houjo pulled out and they were moving along the freeway.

"It's so beautiful tonight. Tokyo's neon lights and the sounds," Kagome said gazing at the city at the wind blew her hair around.

"It is, isn't it?" Houjo agreed.

"Feh! Can you go any slower, grandpa?" Inuyasha yelled from the back even though at times he hated fast driving. He still didn't trust cars that much.

"My grandfather is not in the car," Houjo replied.

"I was talking about you, dumbass."

"I know, just a little humor," Houjo replied even though he looked a little angry.

"Inuyasha, don't call Houjo that."

"Call him a what? Kagome, let's me and you switch seats. I need to have a word or two with Houjo."

Kagome opened her mouth to answer, but Inuyasha had moved her so swiftly before she could say a word. "Inuyasha, that was dangerous, I could have gotten hurt!"

"But you didn't." He focused his attention on Houjo. "So…"

Houjo cleared his throat, "Look, I don't want any trouble and I believe it's safe to say I think you have a problem with me."

Inuyasha nodded. "You're right, I do."

"But I thought we were even. Remember what happened in the restaurant?"

"Yea, but I was just saying that. So forget about it."

"I don't like these kinds of conversations with you."

"Shut the hell up. Nobody asked you what you wanted."

Houjo did as he said for a moment before asking, "How long have you and Kagome known each other again?"

Inuyasha shook his head. "It's amazing how you're so obsessed with my personal life, as if you didn't have one of your own."

"Inuyasha, stop or I will say that word," Kagome warned speaking up from the back.

"Er… He's the bastard that started it."

"Inuyasha, stop it!" she repeated.

"Fine I heard you." Just whose side was Kagome on anyway? She should be agreeing with him and letting him tell Houjo off. He was looking out for Kagome. "Houjo, if Inuyasha starts anything else, just stop the car and let him get out."

"Like hell I won't," Inuyasha said.

Houjo finally pulled up at Kagome house and Kagome waved thanking him, Inuyasha shot daggers at his head until he was inside the house.

"Hi, Kagome," Shippo greeted.

"What the fuck? You were waiting for Kagome at the door?" Inuyasha asked.

Shippo ignored him and continued, "Kagome! Kagome! Inuyasha was spying on you."

Inuyasha stuck his tongue out at him. "Tattletale, but she already knows."

"Well, now she knows again." He looked up at Kagome. "I'm sleepy. Good night." Shippo walked up the stairs and disappeared into her bedroom.

Humph, Inuyasha thought. The little brat stayed up just to tell on me. Inuyasha got ready to ascend the stairs but Kagome was talking about something involving brushing their teeth. He wanted to know how those huge brushed could fit in anybody's mouth.

She led him down the hall to the bathroom. "Here, Inuyasha." She handed him a toothbrush and put toothpaste on it.

Inuyasha sniffed the toothbrush. "What is this?"

"A toothbrush. You go like this." She demonstrated. He just looked at her as if she were crazy. She shook her head and spit out the excess foam. "Do you want me to brush your teeth for you?"

"I'm not dumb. I just don't want to brush my teeth."

"Give me that." She snatched the toothbrush from him. "When you don't know how to do something, there's a thing you ask for called 'Help'." She started to brush his teeth for him, despite Inuyasha whining and yelling about how he could do it himself. "Alright, now spit it out. Now drink the water, and swish it around. Spit it out… Now do you feel clean?"

"No."

"But does your mouth feel clean?"

"I feel the same."

"Inuyasha, you're impossible."

Kagome walked back to her room and sat down on the bed. Inuyasha lied down on the floor. "Hey, Inuyasha?" she asked as she snuggled in the covers.

"What?"

"It's nothing. I just thought… I feel like we're missing something or someone. Do you?"

"No. Go to sleep."

She yawned as did as she was told. She was just mistaken. "Yea, I guess it's nothing." She flicked off the light.

"Miroku, where's everybody?" Sango asked.

"They could have left us."

"Miroku! Do you know your way back… to Kagome's house?"

"Not a chance."

Teehee! They got left. I know, this wasn't that good of a chapter. But I'm back. And guess what? I got a lot of good ideas for 'So Called Vacation.' So please stay tuned. I hope for this story to be long (halfway because I don't know how to end it and halfway because I love writing this fanfic) and I got a Valentines Day special planned. Fluffiness ahead! Soshite, sayonara! Megu-chan.
