Chapter 5- Misread Words
He held her slim wrists tightly against the door, giving her no control whats so ever.
"Kagome I lo-"
"KAGOME!! WHAT HAPPENED OUT HERE!!?" The yell emitted from the hallway, actually just right out her door.
The distraction caught Inuyasha off guard giving Kagome a chance to pull out of his grasp," Sorry Mom!!" She glared at him for a brief moment, leaving through the door," I had a little accident in the bath tub." Kagome said rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment.
Her mom let out a insignificant sigh," Kagome...did you fall asleep again?" She question.
"Maybe..."
"You did, don't lie."
"I'm not lying if I say maybe."
"Kagome!!"
"Mom!!"
"Just get this cleaned up before you ruin my carpet. I can't afford to remodel this hall again." With that she left to make rest for the night.
"Yes mom." Kagome called to her mothers retreating figure." God, I really don't have time for this..." Suddenly she remembered the distraught hanyou waiting in her room.
He was lying on her bed sleeping with his legs draped over the sides, hands under his head. For once the half demon was sleeping actually. Not wanting to wake the mutt regardless of how pissed off she was, she decided it would probably be best to let him sleep while she tried to clean up as fast as possible.
Soaked from rubbing against the scratchy, fake carpet, the towel was thrown aside into a stack of about twenty others. All dripping wet sitting in a basket.
"Phew...I guess that's it for tonight." Kagome sighed wiping away the sweat that built up on her hairline. Looking out her now dry bathroom window she thought," Gee...I must've been cleaning all night long. I wonder what time it is?'
Running to the kitchen, she found the time on her stove.
3:57 AM
'Is it really that late?' She thought. On her way upstairs, she found exhaustion taking over her. The obsession with sleep sounded good to her considering school she would have to start planning her trip. She entered her room subconsciously turning off the light immediately. "Man am I tired..." She mumbled curling up into a ball on her bed. "Sleep....so nice...." The moonlight shining through her curtains was the last thing she saw before the light consumed her thoughts as she slowly closed her eyes. Forgetting all about her friendly visitor.
::5 hours later::
"Hey!! I think she's finally coming around!!" A voice yelled unknown to Kagome.
"I told you to let her sleep!! Why'd ya have to wake her!?" A second voice yelled slowly approaching.
"I didn't do anything!! She woke up on her own!!" Yelled the first voice again.
Opening her eyes, everything was a blur. She couldn't tell the who the person was that was looming over her.
"I'm surprised you woke up so early Kagome." A third person walked over a hovered above her.
It was too early for her to want to wake up in the first place, let alone deal with people. "Just let me sleep.." She replied groggily to all the commotion around her, roughly turning on her side.
"But...Kagome..." The first voice was still unrecognizable.
The third one came in," Just let her sleep in, she's probably still tired."
"Fine.." Responded the first one harshly.
She remained silent listening to their footsteps walkway. But sooner then they had left had another one arrive.
"Hmmm, well well. Isn't this a nice site...?" Kagome was awake enough now to realize that the voice belonged to a man...
"No ones looking so I'm sure.."
Yea definitely a man, and he sounds like...
"MIROOOKU!!!!!" Kagome jumped up when she felt a hand glide its to her butt. Skidding to the corner of the room she placed her behind deep within the corner to ensure he couldn't reach.
"Ahh," smiled Miroku," Good to see your awake Lady Kagome."
Inuyasha, Sango, and Shippo immediately arrived on the scene to find Miroku grinning to wide, and Kagome blushed and pissed at the same time.
"Miroku you didn't!!?" Sango questioned.
"Well.."
"HE DID, HE TOUCHED ME!!!" Yelled Kagome out of breath.
Suddenly :boom!!: A big pink bump formed on the top of Miroku's head from Inuyasha's impact, fist to corrupted monks head.
"In her sleep? That's low monk, even for you!!!" Scolded the hanyou as loud as he could," AND I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH HER!!"
He wasn't able to think of an excuse this time, he had taken advantage of Kagome in her sleep none the less," Your right, I shoul-"
::bam::
A bigger and redder lump was glued to his head along side Inuyasha's, compliments of Sango.
"Don't you ever learn!?" She yelled running over to Kagome," Kagome, glad you're finally awake." She said putting a hand on Kagome's back lending her a hand getting up.
Yawning, the sky shined to brightly for the miko's own good but didn't complain," Thanks Sango, but really it's no thanks to our houshii over there." She said pointing to a knocked out monk. That's when she noticed Inuyasha's back to her, arms folded as usual. Knowing him, he probably had that, 'I don't care'' look going on over there. "Umm...Sango?"
"Yes Kagome?"
"What am I doing here exactly?" She finally questioned.
The answer was even a mystery to her." Sorry Kagome, but your going to have to ask Inuyasha on that one. He came back early this morning with you."
'Inuyasha carried me back...? But why would he- and who does he think he is bringing me back here without my permission!? I'm gonna-' Just as she was about to lecture Inuyasha on why taking back a angry Kagome is bad for ones health, she felt the Shikon Jewel, or the part of it bounce off her collar bone. "The Shikon Jewel...? But.."
"Just hurry up and get dressed!! We need to leave now!!"
Yea, that was Inuyasha all right...back to normal regular Inuyasha. She just stared at him for a moment. Why does he always keep to himself, why can't he just talk to someone...anyone about what he's thinking?
Too busy thinking to herself to argue she simply agreed with him," Okay."
The morning sky was still in its' midst rising, the clouds were gone for today, creating one of the most beautiful scenic views there is to see. The trees rustled in the gentle wind that produced a cool feel good environment for travelers. The perfect day for a demon to make a meal.
A set of eyes claimed its prey already, stalking it as they traveled through the woods. "So that's the famous half demon Inuyasha...doesn't look that strong to me. But those women and the man look like my dinner." It hissed going back to the shadows of the trees.
"Kagome, your not planning on leaving again are you?" Asked Shippo, jumping into her arms.
She caught him gracefully to his surprise," Not yet I think, but I will HAVE to go in a couple of days." Putting emphasis on have.
This ticked Inuyasha off," Your not going anywhere, were almost done with the Shikon Jewel, so let's kill off some more demons!! Besides you just got back!" He yelled while continuing his straight path forward.
"Hey, I believe I can leave whenever I want!! And second you made me come back here without me knowing. So technically that doesn't count!!" Kagome screamed.
Both Sango's and Miroku's eyes shrunk," Oh boy here it comes..." said in unison.
"I can tell you to come back whenever I damn well want too!!"
"Oh yeah!! So when are you in charge of me!!?"
"You're staying and that's final!!!"
"Make me!!"
Everyone was oblivious to the pair of eyes watching them.
"Your not going!!"
"What makes you think you can tell me what to do!? Why can't I decide where I wanna go!? Why do you insist on treating me like you own me!!?
"Because he loves you Kagome!!" Screamed Shippo off the top of his lungs.
Shock was blogged all over everyone's faces. The wind blew through the eerie silence, causing tension to rise even higher.
"SHIPPO WOULD YOU SHUT UP!!!" Fretted Inuyasha in fear.
"Don't yell at him!!" Countered Kagome, but suddenly she remembered something.
:flashback:
Kagome was about to run out of her room when all of a sudden her hands were pinned to the door.
Inuyasha held Kagome up to the door. " Kagome, there's something I need to tell you."
"Inuyasha let me go, we can talk later. I don't feel like talking to you right now. So please lea-" Kagome was interrupted.
"No it can't wait! I need to tell you now before it's too late!" Inuyasha took a deep breath and said, " Kagome I."
He held her slim wrists tightly against the door, giving her no control whats so ever.
"Kagome I lo-"
:end flashback:
'My that be what Inuyasha was trying to say?' Thought Kagome....
