Chapter Notes: Aaron Carter, I want candy
—Human Mates—
"Isn't that what your father did, Sesshoumaru? Why is the idea so repugnant to you? Rin loves you for you," she spat, looking at Inu Yasha coldly and his ears drooped noticeably, "—though the Gods only know why . . ." Kagome spat, unable to keep quiet any longer. She was sick of Sesshoumaru and his domineering ways and the I'm-better-than-everyone attitude that he exuded.
"She's a human!" he roared, like a wounded lion, unable to tear his gaze from Rin. Finally regaining his impervious, cold mask he muttered, "I will not make the same mistakes as my father once—"
"It all comes back to your father, doesn't it? If the parent makes a mistake then it is only natural that the son would make the same mistake, yes? In my world, people aren't judged or thought of by what their parents may or may not have done. The world is one big mistake, no one is ever perfect, but that is why you look for the good in people. Carpe Diem, you big bully," Kagome yelled at him, grabbing Rin's hand and yanking her outside. Once outside, Rin broke down in tears; Kagome knew instinctively that that was what she had wanted to do in the hut. Kagome had wanted to cry when Kikyou had sung that ridiculous sad but she daren't inside.
Through the sniffles of the woman before her, Kagome could make out only partially what she was whimpering, "What—" and then, "Inu Yasha—", maybe?—uh oh—"You," she cried harder, trying valiantly to speak but unable to.
Kagome looked sadly at Rin and said, "Inu Yasha loves Kikyou. I will never change that fact and you heard Sesshoumaru, 'human's aren't—"
"Kagome," Inu Yasha sighed audibly, "That is but one person's opinion."
Kagome gasped and turned around, startled.
"You don't think—"
"My turn! My turn!" a happy, yet oblivious Shippou screamed to the unhappy crowd inside. Kagome thanked the Gods for the interruption, promising that she would pray more often.
However, before Kagome even got to the door, Inu Yasha grabbed her arm and muttered, "Why do I protect you, then? Even though I don't have to?"
"I am nothing but your shard detector," she replied bitterly, yanking her arm from his grasp, but he was resilient if not hardheaded and grabbed her shirt.
"If you—"
I know a girl who's tough but sweet (Kagome!)
The music blasted through the windows and Kagome and Inu Yasha were momentarily stunned at the intensity of it all.
She's
so fine, she can't be beat
She's got everything that I desire
Sets
the summer sun on fire
I
want candy
I want candy
"You're such a dumb wench sometimes!" he yelled over the blast of the music, unable to tear his eyes from Kagome. He realized in an instant what had come out of his mouth and what she was about to do. He could see the 'sit' look in her eye!
"Sit!" she yelled at him, furious that he had taken that horrible little nickname and used it again.
Go
to see her when the sun goes down
Ain't no finer girl in
town
You're my girl, you walked up to order
So sweet, you make
my mouth water
I
want candy
I want candy
Candy
on the beach, there's nothing better
But I like candy when it's
wrapped in a sweater
Some day soon I'll make you mine
Then I'll
have candy all the time
I
want candy
I want candy
"Listen to me you dumb wen—woman!" he added quickly aware that he had almost slipped again, but before he could utter anything else, the music again blared louder through the hut . . .
I
want candy
I want candy
Everyone was clapping excitedly and no one heard when Inu Yasha yelled at Kagome, "Your brain's broken or somethin', 'cause I'm tellin' ya, I've already chosen you as my mate."
