I don't own Inuyasha or any of it's character's. I'm just taking them on a
joyride. I'm sorry it took me so long to update, but I believe I am back
and ready to go. Maybe I'll even start on a story line for 'A not so.'
Would any of you like that? Hm? I hope you enjoy this chappie, it just goes
a little more into why everyone is there. And on with the story!
Chapter 3 – Scary Pudding and a Lift home.
Inuyasha and Kagome worked side by side for an hour, every now and then he would mutter 'wench,' and she would clench her jaw and mutter back 'idiot,' then silence would join them again. All sorts of trunks, calico dresses, masks, and archery items had been laid in a pile by the door. While the boxes they had gone through had been labeled and stacked neatly on the far wall. Inuyasha just sat there digging through a box, and Kagome stretched out on the hard floor, her hand moving over her necklace, letting her finger tips brush the cool, dark purple beads, and she closed her eyes turning her head to the side just breathing softly.
"Wench what are you doing?" Kagome snapped out of her revere and looked at him with a cocked brow.
"Isn't it obvious?" Inuyasha snorted and just pushed his last box aside. He wiped his brow with his sleeve and sat on his heels looking around the room.
"Seems like we got a lot done."
"Feh."
"Is that all you can say?" Kagome looked over at Inuyasha, her eyes darkening a shade, and then turned her head away to stare in the window. Trees were darkening, casting eerie shadows over the Shrine grounds. The world was gaining a soft lavender-blue hue, making everything seem, nearly gentle.
"Depends." Inuyasha looked over Kagome's shoulder out the window. "We should get this junk down stairs and get something to eat." He didn't wait for her answer just lifting up an armload of the pile leaving just enough for Kagome to carry on her own. Kagome put her hand on the window, the cool glass searing her palm. Staring out for a moment longer. She huffed, and just grabbed what was left in the pile and walked down the steps. Sango and Miroku met her at the bottom of the stairs.
Miroku flashed her a charming toothy grin, and took the pile from her arms bowing low at the waist (hopeless flirt, isn't he?) and walked strait over to Inuyasha who was standing beside Sango and plopped his load right onto Inuyasha's. (So mean! XD Flex those muscles Inuyasha!)
"Good work you too, how's it going up there?"
"Feh, we're doing fine." His eyes narrowed strait at Miroku for giving him the extra load.
"Since it's getting late, I'll take you both home after dinner." Sango smiled a bit just writing something down on that notepad of hers and looked back up at them.
"Sango what about me?"
"Are you going to be a pervert?"
"You're beautifulness, am I ever a pervert?" Miroku swallowed hard at the glare and bowed his head instantly. "No, I'll be good." Sango patted him on the head and smiled.
"Good boy." She sat down just calling out a few names as the other volunteers and scribbled on her clipboard. (Wondering what she's writing aren't you?) And she shook head a bit, and then set it down on the table. The four of them walked into a room, which was usually for the burning of sacred fire readings, but now used as a dinning room. A few wooden tables and chairs arranged randomly about. A long narrow table had been set up on the far wall, with tray's of bread, sliced meat, vegetables, soda's and other random goodies for the volunteers who spent no time running to get their own meal.
They each went through the line, each grabbing a plate of food. A reward, if you could call it that, for working so hard during the day. Kagome followed Sango to a table where Inuyasha and Miroku both sat whispering to each other while Inuyasha poked the brown glob in a bowl on his plate. Sango laughed as she and Kagome sat down a crossed from the terrified duo.
"It's just chocolate pudding, get over it you two." Sango waved her straw at the two of them with a mock glare on her face.
"But Sango my love! It's alive! Its... Ack! It moves!" Miroku jumped out of his chair and lifted it up pointing it towards the pudding. (Think the way a lion tamer would ; )
"It lives! Fear not I'll save ye ladies!" Inuyasha cried out and flipped the pudding over face down, and shoved his spork through the plastic bowl, it sticking out from the top of it. Inyasha's face scrunched into a devilish smile.
"Inuyasha, that wasn't fair! I was supposed to show these ladies how brave Sir Knight Miroku could be!"
"Sir Jester is more like it Miroku." Inuyasha grinned and tossed a piece of his bread at him while Miroku caught it and popped it into his mouth.
"You two are hopeless." Sango lowered her head letting out a dramatic sigh.
"So what did you guys do to get stuck here?" Kagome put her elbow on the table and rested her chin on her palm looking at all of them.
"I was treated unjust by a maiden who didn't know how to accept her beauty!" Miroku cried out his lips parting as drool started forming in the corner of his mouth at the thought of such a creature.
"Oh please! Miroku! He got put here because he grabbed a substitute teacher's ass and started sprouting poetry on how she should marry him!" Sango's head shook as she glared at the poor lecher (pervert) who now lowered his head in mock shame.
"How was I to know she was a sub?!"
"What about you two?" Kagome couldn't help but smile at how quick Sango was to tell the truth.
"Well I taught a teacher a lesson-"
"Taught? You put him in the hospital for a week Sango!" Miroku looked at her, wide eyed.
"Okay so I beat the living day lights out of him, but he deserved it. He was a little too friendly with his hands and his mouth. So I washed it out for him.
"What about you Inuyasha?"
"None of your business, Wench!"
"Stop calling me a Wench, you... you jerk!"
"Kagome, pay no mind to him. He's just mad cause he was caught. He took our principal's car for a joy ride." Kagome stared at Miroku then at Inuyasha.
"Wow..."
"Yeah so, what'd you do Wench?" Kagome sent Inuyasha a glare at the new nickname and just sighed.
"I wouldn't obey the dress code at my school for jewelry. I won't take off my beads ever. My principal couldn't give me detention anymore, and he didn't want me to get suspended so he put me here." Kagome looked at the group and raised a brow. "What?"
"They put you here for dress code? They have Inuyasha on Grand theft auto, Miroku on Sexual harassment, and me on assault. And they put you here for Dress code?!" Sango watched Kagome and slowly she started to laugh, then Inuyasha and Miroku joined in. Kagome watched the three for a moment, and then decided it was pretty funny in a weird way and joined in with the others.
Miroku wiped the mirth from his eyes and took a breath looking at Kagome, "stick with us Kag, we'll rub off on you sooner of later." Kagome laughed at the comment and lifted up the plastic cover on sandwich.
"So Kagome where do you live?" Sango said as she bopped Miroku upside the back of his head.
"I live in the houses over by the lake." Kagome took a bite of her sandwich chewing thoughtfully.
"That's great! I live over there too! Which one?
"I live in the one with the roses in the front yard."
"Are you serious? I live next door to that one!" Miroku smiled and clapped his hand. "Now I won't be so alone!" Kagome swallowed nervously and looked at Sango and Inuyasha. "I never knew you lived there."
"Shows how much you pay attention doesn't it? What about you guys?"
Sango swallowed the contents in her mouth before replying. "Well lunkhead here and I live in the Sunset High-rise apartments a few miles from here, we live across the hall from each other."
"So you guys don't live that far then?" Kagome looked at the others, swirling her straw in her juice.
"It's a few miles, not too bad. So where's your car at?" Miroku smiled his foot moving closer to Sango's lightly rubbing the side of his shoe against hers.
"My car?" Kagome blinked
"You have car don't you Kag?" Sango leaned forward after tossing her half eaten sandwich on the tray.
"No...not yet-"
"Not a big deal, our loving spork swordsman has a part time job at a junk yard with his brother-"
"Half Brother!" Inuyasha snarled as he interrupted Sango.
"With his HALF-brother. And don't feel bad Mr. Happy-Pants over here doesn't have one yet either. And me, my baby's in the parking lot."
"You're baby is half dead Sango."
"It is not!"
Snorting with laughter Inuyasha smiled and spoke, "Sango, your car has no windows in the back seat and no back seat at all!"
"Well... we can't all have car's as good as yours does!"
"Damn right, I am the proud father of a Camero. Woohoo for me. Feh!"
"Shut up Inuyasha, Kagome how are you getting home then?" Sango asked as she shoved her empty tray of food to the side.
"I have my bike."
"Nah, Inuyasha is driving me-"
"That's because you're a free loader!"
"As I said before I was so rudely interrupted, Inuyasha is driving me I'm sure he could give you a lift as well. And we could get to know each other a little better." Sango and Inuyasha had a small sweat drop form upon their brows as Kagome slid a little further away from Miroku.
"It's okay I can ride-"
"Nope! Inuyasha can give you a lift."
"Is anyone going to ask me if she can go in MY car?"
"No!" Sango and Miroku shouted at the same time leaving Inuyasha to sulk in his seat.
"Well you guys we need to wrap this up, because I for one want to close this joint down and go home." Sango said adding in a yawn and a stretch for effect. All of them took their tray's ridding the trash and left them upon the receptacle. Kagome walked with Inuyasha and Miroku, who was currently bopping his head to some music about big butts in his headphones, and walked to grab her bike and go to Inuyasha's baby. He snorted as he put it into the trunk of his car, Miroku into the back and Kagome and Inuyasha in the front.
The ride was silent most of the way, pardon for the occasional grunt from Miroku about butts. Until Kagome spoke.
"Will you show me the cemetery tomorrow?"
"Feh, I don't know why you want to see that damn place anyway, but whatever."
"I'll take that as a 'yes.'" Inuyasha snorted but never commented."
"You other brothers can't deny!" Miroku suddenly shouted as he waved his arms to the beat, slamming his head as if he were at a rock concert instead of in the car. Saying nothing more Inuyasha slowed to a stop in front of Miroku's house and turned around in his seat giving him a loving slap on the head and pointed to the door. Without comment he wrapped his arms around Kagome and her seat and scuttled out of the car with a mock salute to Inuyasha.
"Is he always that weird?"
"Feh, he is." Pulling in front of Kagome's house he got out as did she and retrieved her bike from the trunk and handed it to her. And got back in his car. She was half way up the walkway when she heard him speak.
"Wench, I'll pick you up tomorrow be ready!" Without waiting for a reply, leaving a smiling Kagome with her bike. Maybe this punishment wasn't going to be so bad.
Again, I'm sorry for the long time it took me to update, some very serious IRL problems got in the way. And my goal for the end of summer is to have a good amount of this story completed, Serena's Revenge completed and Nightmare as well. Thank you all who reviewed I'll put a special notice to each of you in the next chappie which I'll start in the morning. Thanks for sticking with this story.
