DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha.
Chapter Twelve: Day at the Carnival
"Miroku!" Kagome yelled at him. She was about to get up and chase after him, but Inuyasha held her down gently.
Inwardly, Inuyasha was disappointed when they had to end their kiss abruptly, but since they were now an official couple, he knew that he would be able to kiss her more often.
Kagome settled back in Inuyasha's arms, until Rin burst in. "Come on you two lovebirds, let's go outside and join the others."
Kagome and Inuyasha got up and began to head outside, but Inuyasha still held on to Kagome's hand.
They settled down on the couch in the living room and looked at the others. Rin then went over to Sesshomaru. Miroku and Sango were already snuggling on a different couch.
"You guys all owe me something," Kagome announced. Then in response to their puzzled faces, "Because you nearly gave me a heart attack with that scare."
They looked at her with guilty faces. "Don't worry, I'm not mad at you, but I still want something in return."
"Maybe Inuyasha can give you a special make-out session," Miroku teased.
Inuyasha growled and went over to Miroku to punch him in the head. "You hentai! I'm not like you!"
"But don't tell me it's never occurred to you," Miroku continued. Inuyasha growled and waved his fist in the air. Miroku then gulped and began to hide behind Sango.
Inuyasha resumed his spot next to Kagome when Rin suggested, "How about we treat you to a day at the carnival tomorrow?"
Kagome was a bit surprised and Inuyasha groaned. He had wanted to spend the entire day with Kagome alone, but when he saw Kagome's eyes light up with the idea, he had to agree with Rin that it was a good idea.
"Alright," Kagome consented. "We'll go to the carnival tomorrow. I can't wait." Inuyasha insisted that the others stay at his house in the guest rooms, but Kagome argued that she had to go home and have an outfit for tomorrow and pajamas.
Inuyasha finally relented, but not before stealing a kiss. Miroku finally had to break it up and lead Kagome outside.
"You're just jealous that Sango refused to kiss you because you touched her butt," Kagome quipped.
Miroku pouted before he realized that they didn't drive there, so of course, Inuyasha volunteered to drive them home. Kagome sat in the front with Inuyasha while Miroku had to take the backseat.
The trip home was wrapped in a comfortable silence, each wrapped up in their own thoughts.
'I can't believe how lucky I am to get a gorgeous girlfriend like Kagome,' Inuyasha thought to himself. He thanked his lucky stars that Kagome gave him a chance, despite their mean trick and his reputation.
'I'm glad that I'm with Inuyasha,' Kagome thought. 'I didn't really like Kouga and I certainly hate Kikyo!'
Miroku was just silently contemplating the best tactic to get back on Sango's good side.
They finally arrived at the apartment and Inuyasha gave Kagome a quick kiss. He then turned to Miroku, "Thanks for helping me with Kagome."
"Yeah, yeah," Miroku replied. "You owe me big for this one."
Inuyasha just smiled and drove away.
The next day, Kagome was waiting for her cousin to finish his breakfast. Inuyasha had declared that he would pick up Kagome, Miroku, and Sango, while Sesshomaru and Rin drove in their own car.
"You know," Kagome broke the silence. "This is becoming a bad habit."
"What is?" Miroku asked, puzzled at his cousin's comment.
"You always spend forever on your breakfast," Kagome explained. "And it's really boring having to wait for you." "Oh?" Miroku quirked an eyebrow. "Are you sure that you're not just impatient for Inuyasha to get here?"
Miroku never had the chance to see the couch's pillow flying at his head before it made contact. It wasn't supposed to hurt, but Kagome's throw was accurate and precise, which caused the young man to feel a slight pain. He looked up and pretended to glare at his cousin.
"Seriously," Miroku teased some more. "I don't know how Inuyasha will be able to fend himself against you when you two marry."
Kagome growled, but was interrupted when there was a knock on the door. Inuyasha stood there and he smiled at Kagome. He looked at Kagome and smiled appreciatively at her appearance. She wore a baby blue tank top and comfortable looking black jeans.
"Hey," Inuyasha greeted Kagome casually before leaning in to give her a quick kiss on the lips. Kagome blushed upon the contact. "Are you guys ready yet?"
"We're just waiting for Miroku," Kagome replied. She still was just getting used to the idea that they were a couple and allowed to kiss anytime.
"Why don't you two just cuddle up for a few minutes while I put this dish in the dishwasher?" Miroku suggested innocently.
Inuyasha growled while both of them blushed. Inuyasha then threatened, "You'd better hurry up or you're walking to the carnival."
Miroku quickly complied and the three headed out to Inuyasha's car. Miroku was about to claim the front seat when Inuyasha pushed him to the back. "I want Kagome to be in the front with me," Inuyasha pouted.
"But I wanted to sit in the back so that I can talk to Sango," Kagome whined.
"So, you couldn't get enough of Kagome could you?" Miroku teased.
A fist from Inuyasha and a slap from Kagome came at Miroku unexpectedly. Kagome finally gave in and sat in the front with Inuyasha while Miroku grumbled but sat in the back.
When they arrived at Sango's house, Inuyasha honked his horn. The girl came running out when she noticed that the only empty seat was next to Miroku.
"Not one move," Sango warned, not buying Miroku's innocent look. Inuyasha just chuckled at the couple and then headed for the carnival.
They finally arrived at the carnival and met up with Sesshomaru and Rin. The three couples decided to split up and later meet up again for lunch.
Sesshomaru and Rin decided to go on the rides first. At first, Sesshomaru was reluctant. He only wanted to spend some quiet time with his girlfriend, but when he saw the eager look in her eyes, he knew he was done for.
Sango and Miroku were headed to the booths. Sango wanted to win some prizes for her brother, Kohaku, and Miroku was just happy to get a chance to spend some time with her.
Inuyasha and Kagome were walking around the carnival quietly. They were holding hands and Kagome was content with being with Inuyasha.
They walked by a booth that had a water shooting game. Kagome then spotted a dog plushy that was so cute, she decided that she must have it.
"I want that dog over there!" Kagome screamed out suddenly while pointing her finger at the plushy.
Inuyasha looked over to where she was pointing and smiled. "I'll win that for you," Inuyasha said with a smile.
"Oh thank you!" Kagome squealed happily. She then leaned up to give him a quick kiss and Inuyasha sighed in bliss. 'Maybe I should do this more often,' he thought.
Fifteen minutes later, Inuyasha managed to win the prize and he handed the plushy to Kagome. She hugged it to her chest before giving Inuyasha a big hug.
"Did we interrupt an intimate moment?" Miroku interrupted.
Inuyasha and Kagome immediately let go of each other and looked at Miroku.
"Weren't we supposed to meet at lunch?" Kagome asked Miroku.
"Well, Sesshomaru decided that he had had enough of rides and I'm hungry, so we wanted to go eat early," Miroku explained.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes at Miroku. The group then decided to go get some pizza. Kagome, Sango, and Rin watched as Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Miroku wolfed down their pizza. It seemed as if they were having an eating contest. The girls turned away from the boys, disgusted at their behavior. Kagome knew that Miroku could have weird eating habits and Inuyasha probably hung around her cousin too much. But she was surprised that Sesshomaru could behave just like his brother, despite their attempts to act completely different.
Suddenly her attention was turned towards the sandy-haired boy in their class, Hojo. Hojo had come up to Kagome and gently tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hi Kagome," Hojo stated shyly.
Inuyasha's attention quickly turned from his pizza and he glared at Hojo. Nobody was allowed to be that near to his Kagome. He growled to let the boy know of his dissatisfaction.
Kagome turned to the source of the growl and stared at Inuyasha. 'What was he growling about?'
Hojo spoke tentatively, "Kagome, I was...wondering if you would like to go see a movie with me later this afternoon?"
Inuyasha openly growled when he heard Hojo ask her the question. "No, she can't go with you, moron! She is mine! And you can't take her away."
Everyone was a bit surprised at Inuyasha's outburst. They were used to Inuyasha's behavior, but Kagome was too shocked.
She turned quickly and apologized to Hojo. "I'm sorry Hojo, but I'm spending time with Inuyasha. We're actually official now."
Hojo looked disappointed but quickly left. Kagome then turned to Inuyasha. "How dare you pull that stunt?! I'm not a possession that you can claim as yours! And I can answer for myself!"
Inuyasha was too stunned to answer. Kagome then got up and stormed out of the restaurant. Inuyasha quickly got up and followed her. He grabbed her wrist to prevent her from getting away further.
"Hey!" Kagome screamed at him. "Let me go!"
"Please Kagome," Inuyasha begged. "I'm sorry."
"No you're not. If you were, then you wouldn't have done that. Don't you trust me?"
"Of course I trust you. I just don't trust other guys." Inuyasha then pulled her into a tight hug. "I was just afraid that I might lose you to some other guy. We've just been a couple recently and I..."
Kagome put a finger to his lips. She kissed him to silent him. "I won't leave you Inuyasha. We're a couple now."
Inuyasha was content from the kiss and smiled at Kagome affectionately.
When they finished lunch, they decided to go play a few games together and go on a few rides.
They finally ended the day with going on the Ferris wheel. Kagome snuggled next to Inuyasha and thanked her lucky stars that she had him sitting next to her.
Inuyasha smiled at the beauty that was currently holding on to his arm. He was happy that he had Kagome as his girlfriend.
