Ch. 5- Understanding Each Other
"AHHHH!" Kagome was on the floor in a corner holding her backpack in front of her face.
Inuyasha, without a seconds hesitation, burst through the door. "What's wrong?" He looked around the room, expecting a youkai to jump out at him.
Kagome had her eyes closed and refused to open them until the horror was over. "Over there!" She blindly motioned toward a chair.
"A chair?" Inuyasha looked around again.
"No! The…the cockroach!" Kagome seemed to not want to even say the word cockroach.
"What!?" Inuyasha's face fell as he picked up the invader and kicked it out.
Kagome was still clutching her backpack. 'I know that voice… it's the same as before… my savior… now I can thank him properly.' Kagome slowly opened her eyes, but she only saw Inuyasha about to leave. "Hey you!"
"What?" Inuyasha stopped to look at her. 'I can't believe I risked her knowing who I really am because of a damn bug!' He kept thinking.
'It's not him… just Inuyasha…' Kagome's face fell. 'But, he did help me… I guess I should thank him too.' Kagome looked up at Inuyasha's impatient face. "Ummm, thanks, for the whole bug thing…" Kagome seemed to have hard time thanking Inuyasha. 'He's probably going to make fun of me now… here it comes…'
Inuyasha's jawed dropped and his eyes widened. 'She's actually thanking me?? This rude woman?' He couldn't believe it, but all that came out of his mouth was… "Keh!"
"Is that all you can say?" Kagome's appreciation soon disappeared and was replaced with growing irritation. "By the way, what the hell are you doing in my house?"
Inuyasha's mind went blank. 'Shit, what do I say? Why didn't I change before I came in?' Inuyasha stayed quiet for a while, thinking.
"Hello? I'm asking you a question!" Kagome began to knock on he head. "Hello?!"
"Umm… hey stop that you wench!" Inuyasha knocked her hand away. "I just happen to pass your house on my way to my apartment… and I heard a scream so I came to see who it was. I didn't know this was your house." Inuyasha spat out
"How could you hear me from the street? And even if you did hear me, how did you climb the steps so quickly?" Kagome asked not believing his story at all.
"I have extremely good hearing… and I can climb stairs really fast too…" Inuyasha couldn't believe what he was saying. 'She'll never believe me…'
"Right… well I guess I should just be grateful you came," She decided not to ask anymore, he was obviously lying an didn't want to tell her the real reason he came.
"Good, well I'll be leaving now… bye." Inuyasha waved over his shoulder as he left.
"Wait!" Kagome yelled before thinking
Inuyasha stopped as surprised as she was that she yelled for him. "Yes?"
'Oh shit, I wasn't thinking… I just didn't want to be alone…' She thought quickly. "Ummm, to repay you for helping me, I… I wan to make you some dinner… it's almost 6:00pm anyway." Kagome was obviously better liar than Inuyasha was.
"I'll only stay if you cook ramen… the shrimp kind…" Inuyasha said slowly. 'Maybe I'll get a free meal out of this.'
"Sure." Kagome said and ran to the kitchen. She stopped at the doorway and turned around. "Inuyasha? Thank-you." She smiled and continued her way into the kitchen.
'Again she thanks me… why couldn't she have done that when I saved her the first time?' Inuyasha walked to the couch and sat down. "Why did she thank me this time though? I'm the one eating her food, and taking up space in her house." He turned on the TV and flipped through the channels. Then a thought occurred to him, ask her. "Why did you thank me?" He promptly muted the TV so he could hear her answer more clearly.
"For not leaving me alone, of course." Kagome mumbled back, low enough so he couldn't hear, or so she thought. "No reason!" She yelled back.
'Leaving her alone? Why would she not want to be alone… it's not that big of a deal' Inuyasha un-muted the TV and began flipping channels.
After sometime Inuyasha bored of the TV and walked into the kitchen to see how much longer it would take. "Oi, is it done yet?"
Kagome turned around, she was holding two steaming bowls of ramen in her hands. She was just about to go get him. "Now, good timing… here can you take yours? It's kind of hot…" She handed him the bowl.
"Yeah." Inuyasha took the offered bowl and went to sit down at the table. 'Why the hell is she being so nice and warm? What happened to the other Kagome?'
"Is it any good?" She asked sitting down across from Inuyasha.
"Yeah, it's fine…" He inhaled the ramen quickly.
'Man, he must really like it, either that or he was just extremely hungry.' Kagome smiled, an began to eat her own.
'Why does she keep smiling? It's weird. She id like a totally different person from the Kagome at school…' Inuyasha didn't stop eating. 'It's a nice smile, she should smile more often.' Inuyasha decided to start a conversation to stop his mind from wandering any further. "So, where's your family?"
"Oh, ummm, thy went to Kyoto for a little while…" Kagome started to play with her food, not really feeling like eating anymore.
:Both your mom and dad?"
"Umm, no just my mom, my grandpa, and my little brother Souta." She answered.
"Hmm, and your dad? Where is he?" Inuyasha wasn't really interested, but he started the conversation, and he was going to finish it.
Kagome stopped playing with her food and froze. "No, he died when I was smaller…" She said slowly.
Inuyasha immediately stopped eating. "Oh." He felt a little guilty. "I'm sorry." He regretted continuing the conversation.
"No, it's okay." Kagome shook her head, putting on a fake smile. "it as awhile ago. I'm over it now."
Inuyasha studied her expression for awhile. 'Her smile is different. It's not the same from earlier, she's such a bad liar.' "It's ok. I lost both my parents when I was smaller also." Inuyasha wasn't sure why he told her that, but, she seemed she would understand.
"You have no one left? Not at all?" Kagome asked, with noticeable sadness, and pity in her tone.
"I live alone yea, but I do have an older brother… he disowned me when our parents died." Inuyasha again didn't know why he was telling her all this, it wasn't any of her business, but still…
"How sad… but you don't seem angry or even sad about your brother." Kagome was feeling sorry for Inuyasha now. Her problems momentarily forgotten.
"Why should I be? It's not my fault and I know it. I'm better off without him… or anyone for that matter. " He looked up from his meal to look at Kagome's expression, and immediately regretted it.
Kagome was looking at Inuyasha with tears threatening to fall. "Inuyasha…" Her voice was breaking. "How can you say that? Aren't you ever… lonely?"
"Keh…" Was what Inuyasha said, but his facial expression was a little… worried, as he stared at the girl in front of him, on the verge of tears. 'Is that why she's always sad, because she's always alone?'
Kagome took a deep breath and calmed herself. 'I wonder if he really feels that way? No one likes to be alone, he must get lonely… sometimes. That must be why he's always so stubborn and infuriating, he's afraid of getting too close, cause everyone has left him…' Kagome felt that she had just stumbled upon an epiphany. At that moment she realized she had been starring at Inuyasha this whole time, and he was starring back at her. Both looking away. After a moment of silence Kagome stood and clean away her plate. "You can stay for as long as you want. No one else is here so, I don't mind." She sounded almost hopeful.
"Umm, I guess I can stay for a little while longer." Inuyasha fidgeted nervously. 'Oh well, I'd have to watch over her anyway, might as well do it watching TV.' He stood up and cleaned away his plate also.
Kagome walked over and sat down on the floor next to the couch. She started to do some homework. Shortly after Inuyasha came in and sat on the couch, he picked up the remote controller and switched on the TV. 'Okay, well I guess any company is better than none.' Kagome tried to concentrate on her homework. 'But I wish he wouldn't turn the TV up so loud.'
Inuyasha noticed Kagome's expression. 'What the fuck's wrong with her now? If she wants to do homework she should just go to her room.' He turned back to the TV. "Oi, is the TV too loud for you?"
Kagome looked up surprised. "What? You're actually asking me?"
"Hello, see anyone else around?"
"No, of course not. I was just surprised that's all!" Kagome was getting irritated.
"Well? Are you gonna answer me?" Inuyasha was loosing his patience quickly.
Kagome calmed down. 'Okay, it's not his fault he asked me a question… just don't get mad Kagome.' She chided herself. "Yes, it is a bit loud…" She finally answered.
"Too bad." Inuyasha stated crossing his arms over his chest.
Kagome just sighed. 'I'm too tired to argue about this, I didn't really think he would turn it down anyway.'
Inuyasha watched as Kagome out of the corner of his eyes. 'She looks like she's really having trouble.' Inuyasha stood up and sat down next to Kagome.
"What are you doing?" Kagome asked not looking up from her book.
"You're doing that wrong…"
"Well, care to enlighten me?" Kagome looked up and handed her pencil to Inuyasha signifying her challenge.
"You forgot to switch the signs, and then multiply both sides of the equation." Inuyasha wrote out the steps as he explained them.
'How the hell can he do that? He solved it like it was nothing." Kagome stared in disbelief. "Thanks, but how?"
"I just showed you how, stupid wench!" Inuyasha sighed. 'She can't really be this stupid can she?'
"No, I mean, you were sleeping during class today, how did you know how to solve that?"
"Don't know." Inuyasha began to stand up.
Kagome reached up and pulled him back down. "What!? How can you not know?"
Inuyasha was a bit startled that she had grabbed him, and now she was a mere centimeters from his face. "Just comes naturally I guess, it's never been hard for me to solve these kinds of problems."
Kagome was glaring at him. "But you said school was useless, so how come you're so good at it?" She inched closer, she wanted answers.
"Umm, it's just that school is boring because it comes so naturally for me, I don't know, it's just that there's no challenge… " Inuyasha was getting nervous at their closeness, but Kagome didn't seem to notice. 'Why am I so damn nervous?'
"No challenge, you just solved an extremely difficult math equation like it was nothing, and you say it comes naturally?"
"Well, that one happened to be easy, you'd have to be stupid not to get the right answer…" Inuyasha realized too late what he had just said.
"Stupid!!?? This stuff is hard!!!" Kagome jumped up, she was fuming at Inuyasha last comment. She desperately searched her mind for something to come back at him with. "You're the freak who can climb three stories and jump into class!! What normal people do that??" Kagome yelled.
"You wench!" Inuyasha stood up to tower over her, he was visibly angry at this point.
"Not wench!! I'm Kagome!!"
"So what, you're still a stupid wench!"
"That's it, I'm going to upstairs! Do whatever the hell you what!" Kagome picked up her books and ran upstairs.
"Like I'd want to stay here! I'm leaving!" Inuyasha yelled at her retreating figure. He stormed outside and slammed the door. He continued to stomp down the porch and toward the shrine steps. 'That wench has no right to speak to me like that!' Inuyasha stopped. 'Shit! She's alone, I can't just leave her, she get herself killed… damn it… she always has to ruin everything.' He turned around and jumped into the tree outside of Kagome's bedroom.
Inside Kagome put down her stuff on her desk. "Argh! I bet he forgot to turn off the TV." She marched downstairs. 'Yep, thought so…' Kagome reached out to turn off the television, but stopped just short of the button. 'He turned it down? But he said…' Kagome turned off the television and walked back to her room, confused. 'Why did he do that? And help me with my homework… or stay at my house with me when I asked him to… or tell me all about his family.' Her mind was reeling with questions, but they could wait until tomorrow, right now all she wanted to do was sleep.
Inuyasha sat outside watching Kagome getting ready for bed. 'Damn wench is so confusing… why did I get so nervous when she was so close?' He laid back once he saw the light turn out in her room. 'I'll stay another hour or so, just to make sure she doesn't get herself into any trouble… stupid wench…' Inuyasha looked off into the sky, he was, for the first time in a long time, content.
