Chapter 12

Everybody Loves Inu-Yasha

::Sango is looking in a mirror, holding up different blouses:: I wonder what I should wear.

Kagome: ::peeks over her shoulder and looks:: That would be great, try that one.

Sango: Im not sure. I guess all this clothing has kinda spoiled me.

Kagome: Ah, not too much. Your closet isnt anywhere near as packed as mine.

Sango: ::smiles and shakes her head:: Yeah I guess this shirt will work. Are you wearing your black dress?

Kagome: Yeah, InuYasha loves it.

Sango: I know he does...can you wear something else?

Kagome: Why?

Sango: I think Miroku likes it just as much as InuYasha does.

::they both laugh, but Sango's laugh is somewhat uneasy::

Kagome: Hey, do you remember when we went to the movies that time?

Sango: Oh yeah. I was sitting on Miroku's lap

Kagome: and he got a liittle too excited..

Sango: No kidding.

Kagome: Saw the expression on your face..

Sango: Yep, that wasn't the movie..

Kagome:Yeah. I think InuYasha got a little jealous though. ::is trying not to crack up:: That woman walked by our row and brushed against him, and he absolutely refused to believe that it was just the way his pants folded..

::both laugh again, and have a little trouble stopping::

Sango: I was worried we might have two Miroku's on our hands..

Kagome: Nah. Give him enough chocolate and he'll be fine.

Sango: I remember that too..

Kagome: I told him if he didn't stop pouting he wouldn't get any chocolate. ..Chocolate is supposed to be bad for dogs anyway.

Sango: ::sarcastic:: He loved that...

Kagome: ::smiles and gets her shoes out of the closet::

Kagome: I just hope InuYasha remembers what today is..

-------------

::A computer screen is shown w/ many windows open. Kita is busy at the PC, and Kotaku peeks over and stares::

Kotaku: What are ya doing?

Kita: Stuff.

Kotaku: What kinda stuff..

Kita: Stuff. And no, there are no popups for you to stare at..

Kotaku: Aww ::crawls up on a chair and sits:: So, what kinda stuff?

Kita: ..::sigh:: Im working on my website

Kotaku: What's it called.

Kita: ::points to the title bar on a window::

Kotaku: isnt-this-sad.com?

Kita: Yep.

Kotaku: Can I look?

Kita: Maybe later, when I turn the kiddie filter on.

Kotaku: Thats really easy to toggle off.

Kita: You are 5 years old, try acting like one..

Kotaku: You are not much older than me.

Kita: Well my butt is currently warming this seat so nyah

Kotaku: ::sticks his tongue out:: Nyah..

InuYasha: ::walks in with boxers and sneakers:: You, up..

Kita: ::turns:: huh?

InuYasha: ::grabs Kita and lifts her off the seat, then sits down himself:: Get lost.

Kita: You aint the boss of me.

InuYasha: You're right.

Kita: I am?

InuYasha: Yeah, im just an asshole. Now get lost.

Kita: ::narrows her eyes:: Im telling Kagome

InuYasha: You do that.

Kita: You're asking for it

InuYasha: Yeah, its your word against mine.

Kita: Exactly.

InuYasha: ::pauses:: damn... eh, forget it. Im taking my chances.

Kita: ::rolls her eyes and leaves::

Kotaku: ::is still watching the screen::

InuYasha: What do you want?

Kotaku: I like pop-ups.

InuYasha: You know what? You're dad is a real bad influence.

Kotaku: Yeah, but he has good taste ::walks off too::

InuYasha: I ...really need to move out. Now. ...::starts downloading music::

Lee: ::is on her way back from work when she sees a car wash:: Hm, might as well. ::she drives by a church and goes into their parking lot. Two girls smile in the window and wave::

Girl1: Welcome to our Teen Group Car wash. All benifits from the carwash will go to our trip to DisneyWorld

Lee: ::smiles:: alright, what do you offer

Girl2: Wash, wax, and interior cleaning. We are also selling lemonade and three types of cookies so you can snack while you wait.

Lee: ::looks at her watch:: Sure I have the time. I'll take your whole package ::steps out of her car and walks over to the food stand. She gets a lemonade and two cookies and looks up at the sky:: Im seeing clouds. Hope it doesnt start raining while Im still out here.

::The youth group director, a young man with black hair and a brown leather jacket, walks up and looks at the sky too:: Yeah I hope so too. Its been a beautiful day. Oh, Im Mark Gregory, the youth director.

Lee: ::extends her hand:: Lee Higurashi. So, how far are you along in getting the money you need.

Mark: Close but so far away ::shakes her hand:: But we have a couple of other fundraisers in the works. I know we will earn enough money sooner or later. Especially when we got that big donation from the owner of Sho Electronics

Lee: ::blinks:: Sesshomaru

Mark: I think thats his name.

Lee: Yep. He's my cousin's husbands brother.

Mark: No wonder you got the full package ::chuckles:: I see you can afford it.

Lee: We should be poor because of it, not rich. Sesshomaru doesn't really get along with his younger brother.

Mark: ::shakes his head, smiling:: Well if you ever do see him, let him know we thank him again.

Lee: Will do.

::after her car is washed and waxed, Lee pays with a little extra donation added and gets in her car. She waves to the group as she leaves:: nice people, but I better call before I forget.

---

Shane: ::wakes up at some girl's house.:: Damn..::he holds his head and sits up, and his phone rings:: Yeah? What...why? I dont really feel too hot.

.

Lee: ::sipping coffee in her car:: I could care less if you are hung over! We need the van

Shane: Stop calling me..

Lee: I'll call mom.

Shane: ::mocking her:: I'll call mom..::mumbles:: whatever... ::a girl walks in with only a bathtowel on::

Girl: Get your shorts off my fan and get out, my grandmother is coming today! ::walks off in a huff::

Lee: ::overhearing this on the other side, sweatdrops and twitches:: Where the hell are you?

Shane: Out.

Lee: Fine. But Im telling you, the red cross could use you as a test subject to cure all the STDs in the world.

Shane: Funny..

Lee: Kagome wants to go to that concert later today ::is driving home by now, getting close:: And your van is the

only vehicle that can fit everyone.

Shane: Didnt Kagome rent a car?

Lee: She is working on buying one...

Shane: What about Miroku?

Lee: What about you getting your tail over here. You have to be the most unreliable person in the world. The kids are already

home from school, and its getting late. Tick me off and your furniture is on the sidewalk.

Shane: Fine...

Lee: And you better be clean when you show up!

-----

Kagome: Ive got to run a few errands before we leave tonight. Sango, try and remind InuYasha AGAIN about what's going on, and I'll be back soon.

Sango: Aren't all the vehicles taken?

Kagome: Yeah, my friend Brynn is picking me up ::hears the car honk:: gotta go!

::she walks out and slips into the car::

Brynn: Hey

Kagome: Hello

Brynn: So why did you need me to take you to the mall

Kagome: Oh, I just want to get something special for InuYasha

Brynn: Whats the occassion?

Kagome: Nothing at all, I..just want to do it.

Brynn: Thats so sweet ::smacks her gum:: If I ever get married, I think i'll find a guy just like yours..

Kagome: Im happy...but I wouldn't recommend

::They laugh::

Kagome: So, how have things been..

Brynn: Well my boyfriend as usual took over the apartment leaving me hanging around. Im just about to dump the guy. ::they she is about to stop at a red light, but when they get the green proceeds., a red car from the left comes in from a side street speeding::

Brynn: Hey you Jerk wad I have the light! PEOPLE FROM AROUND HERE CANT DRIVE ::she skids, slamming on her breaks spinning around. Unfortunately, another car rams into them sending their car into a building. A couple more cars pile up, but Brynn's car seems to have taken the most damage::

---

InuYasha: ::is outside, sipping a soda now when he turns his head east. He sniffs:: blood...odd...Kagome! Thats Kagome's blood! ::he takes off running east::

Kita: ::hears the shouting and looks out the window:: Uh oh..

::InuYasha arrives at the first major intersection. He sees the pileup:: Kagome! ::he pushes his way through and looks at the mangled car.:: Kagome..::his eyes tear up and he tugs at the door:: Open damnit..OPEN! I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS!! ::he panics and scratches at the door, almost primitively, in a hurry to get Kagome out. Finally he gives up and shouts desperately for help:: HELP! SOMEONE! MY WIFE IS IN THERE!!

::after tugging at the door for an eternity he frees Kagome and Brynn from their metal prison. He sets Brynn down easy, there is some major damage to her left arm but not much else, and Kagome, just barely awake, is bruised up::

InuYasha: Kagome...Kagome...::he licks her cheek, stroking her side::

Kagome: ::opens her eyes half way:: InuYasha..

InuYasha: I saw someone call 911. You are going to be okay Kagome ::he keeps licking her cheek and neck:: Just stay awake okay. Man, Id give it all up to have the jewel shard right now.

Kagome: please check on my friend...

InuYasha: ::nods and looks over Brynn:: She probably twisted her arm in 19 places, but she'll be okay... ::the police finally show up and InuYasha sighs:: Another trip to the hospital...sheesh.

----

::its early in the morning, 2 days later. Kagome, with a sling on her arm, enters the house:: Great, I missed everything...

Miroku: ::who has been sitting up, waiting for her:: Hey. Glad to see you back so soon.

Kagome: Yeah, but Brynn's gonna be in there a while. THe worst I got was cuts and bruises and a messed up right leg. But poor Brynn might have to be in there a while, looks like there was major nerve damage to her arm.

Miroku: ::sighs::

Kagome: at least I cant blame a demon on this..

Miroku: Im not so sure

Kagome: Huh?

Miroku: Call it a feeling. Anyway, InuYasha has a surprise for you

InuYasha: ::walks into the room with tickets in his hand. he slaps them in Kagome's:: Here

Kagome: Tickets to teh concert...but we missed it.

InuYasha: Actually we went without you.

Kagome: What...

InuYasha: Just kidding. We got a transfer to a later date. So everything worked out.

Kagome: Oh InuYasha! ::hugs him:: THank you! I love you!!!

InuYasha: ::blushes a little holding her gently :: Heh...me too.

Kagome: Yeah. ::takes another look at the tickets:: This gives me plenty of time to rest.

InuYasha: I know what will make you feel better

Kagome: What?

InuYasha: Go ahead and say it

Kagome: say what?

InuYasha: You know, "Sit"

Kagome: Why?

InuYasha; I know you get some power trip out of it. So go ahead, pummel me to the ground.

Kagome: Power trip! Why you! InuYasha S- ::stops when she notices this huge smile on InuYasha's face::

InuYasha: ::still grinning::

Kagome: ::laughs::

Miroku: ::shakes his head and smiles::

kagome: What are you doing up so early, Miroku..

Miroku: ::slips something in his pocket:: working on a surprise for Sango

Kagome: Really? She'll love it, Im sure.

Miroku: If you will excuse me, Im returning to bed before Sango awakes ::leaves::

Kagome: Well InuYasha ::rubs behind his ears gently:: Shall we?

InuYasha: Do what?

Kagome: Go to bed.

InuYasha: You are ready for that already???

Kagome: what...gah, Get your mind out of the gutter for once. You are beginning to sound like Miroku.

InuYasha: please woman. Just because you got a scratch doesnt mean im gonna jump for you like a trained dog.

Kagome: at least dogs follow orders! sit boy!

::InuYasha goes splat :P ::

InuYasha: See if I ever do anything nice for you again.

Kagome: See if you get ANYTHING again!

InuYasha: You know you'll be begging at my door soon enough

Kagome: InuYasha you are such a pervert!

InuYasha: Only to my woman! ::is still on the floor, oddly, hasnt gotten up::

Kagome: ::shakes her head and kisses the top of his head:: Im getting some rest. ::walks out::

InuYasha: Yeah, I love you too honey. ::lets his head thonk against the ground::
