Winter's Night: Chapter 3
Inuyasha picked up Kagome and hopped out of the well. Once out, he set her down so she could walk on her own. He looked around the well house. It was dark and didn't have any new scents in it except for his and Kagome's. Suddenly a bright light came to his eyes and he squinted from its intensity. He looked over towards its source to see Kagome standing at the entrance to the well house with the doors wide open. He noticed her shiver slightly, so he took off his haori and placed it over her head and shoulders. Kagome felt the fabric on her and looked at him curiously.
"Thank you." She smiled at him.
"Feh, your welcome."
Kagome didn't let her smile waver at his response. She knew what he meant by it. Then she frowned and took another look over him. He was only wearing his fire rat pants and the white under kimono. Inuyasha noticed her frowning at him and narrowed his eyes confused.
"What?"
"Aren't you going to be cold?" Kagome asked the frown not leaving her face.
"I'm a hanyou." Inuyasha sighed. "The cold doesn't affect me like it does humans because of my demon blood."
"Oh."
Inuyasha saw her frown slowly disappear so he walked passed her and looked outside. He blinked a few times at what was before him. There was a lot more snow then what was in the feudal era. He flattened his ears when he heard a very loud annoying noise. He looked to see a man wrapped up in a lot of clothes, pushing a big melt thing that seemed to be shooting snow and leaving a clear path behind it.
"What the hell is that?" Inuyasha asked confused and annoyed at how loud it was. He had to move his hands up to his ears to keep at least some of the noise out. Kagome looked at him funny and then realization dawned on her. She ran through the snow and over to the guy. Inuyasha watched her and saw the guy do something to the machine. Suddenly the noise stopped and he saw the man pushing the metal thing away. Kagome ran back over to him and he was twitching his ears a lot to get the slight ringing sound to go away.
"What did you do?" he asked her once she reached him.
"I asked him if he could turn it off and leave because my family had some company."
"Oh."
Suddenly a white thing flew at Inuyasha, but he caught it before it hit him. He looked down at it and realized it was a snowball. "What the hell?"
"Inuyasha!"
There was a blur and the next thing Inuyasha knew was that he was once again on the ground in the snow. He growled a little and tried pulled what had hit him off. He sniffed the air a few times and sighed.
"Hey kid."
"Inuyasha what are you doing here? Why did you come back with my sister? How long are you staying?" Souta asked sounding very much like a certain kitsune at the moment. Inuyasha put his hand over Souta's mouth and sighed again.
"Your sister asked me to come here with her and stay the night to try and relax." Inuyasha told him.
Souta nodded and Inuyasha released his mouth. Souta grabbed Inuyasha's arm and pulled on it.
"Come on, my mom will want to know that you're here and that Kagome is back."
Inuyasha nodded and got up, brushing the snow off himself. Kagome took his hand and led him to the house, while Souta had a death grip on his other arm, also pulling him towards the house. Inuyasha sighed. / Why me? /
+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!+!
Once inside the house, Souta ran upstairs to his room, while Kagome led Inuyasha to the kitchen to find her mother. They found Mrs. Higurashi cooking what appeared to be fish and rice. She also had some sashimi on a plate and tea placed on the table. Inuyasha sniffed the air and his mouth watered a little. He hadn't eaten anything since the night before when Kaede had some stew for everyone. It was nice of her to cook for everyone and all, but her food wasn't of the best quality.
"Hi mom, I'm back." Kagome said walking into the kitchen.
"Kagome! I'm so glad you're back, it's been a week since you last came home." Mrs. Higurashi said as she turned around. She wiped her hands on her apron and hugged Kagome. She then noticed a very curious looking Inuyasha standing in the doorway. She smiled.
"It good to see you Inuyasha. Will you be staying for lunch?" She asked him, letting go of her daughter.
"Actually mom, I was hoping he could spend the night here. A lot had been going on in the feudal era, so I though it might be good for him to spend one night away from it all."
"Of course, he's always welcome here." Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "I better go get a futon and some blankets out for him then."
"Uh, actually, I'll just sleep outside in the tree." Inuyasha said.
"Nonsense, it's bitter cold out there at night. We don't want you catching cold." Mrs. Higurashi said walking up to him. She reached her hands up and tweaked his ears once, to which Inuyasha sighed slightly annoyed, before walking out of the kitchen and towards the upstairs. "Keep an eye on the food for me Kagome."
"Alright mom."
Inuyasha sighed. "I can't get sick you know..."
"Yeah I know, but just spend the night indoors. You won't be able to get out there anyway, my mom has ways of getting her way." Kagome said checking the fish that her mom was cooking.
"Feh." Inuyasha leaned against the counter. His ears twitched and he heard the front door open. Grandpa walked in and glared at Inuyasha before looking to Kagome.
"Kagome dear, you're home." He said as he hugged his granddaughter. Kagome smiled and hugged him back.
"Yeah but only for tonight. We're going back tomorrow." She said letting go of the old man. Just then Mrs. Higurashi came back and took over cooking lunch again.
"Did you send away Mr. Ikeda?" Grandpa asked Mrs. Higurashi.
"No, why, did he not finish?"
Kagome blinked. "Oh, uh, I sent him away Grandpa... the snow blower was too loud."
Grandpa looked at Inuyasha who was currently looking around the kitchen at the different appliances and new technology. He then walked out of the room towards the living room. Kagome blinked in confusion.
"Where's he going?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, just as confused as Kagome.
A few minutes later Grandpa came back with two snow shovels. He handed one to Kagome and one to Inuyasha. Kagome blinked and Inuyasha looked at the weird looking orange shovel curiously.
"Kagome since you sent away Mr. Ikeda, you and that demon are to go out there and shovel the rest of the walkways and the stairs." He said while going to sit down at the table.
"What?" Inuyasha growled slightly. He stopped when he felt Kagome grab his arm.
"Come on Inuyasha, let's go."
Inuyasha sighed and followed her, but not before glaring daggers at the old man who was currently sipping his tea. / Stupid old man... / He walked after Kagome and found her getting her coat and boots on, as well as her other winter clothing. He was about to walk outside when he felt his haori be thrown over his head. He pulled it off and looked at Kagome slightly confused.
"Don't want you getting cold." She smiled jokingly. He smiled slightly and put his haori on. Kagome opened the door and they both stepped outside to begin the exciting task of shoveling snow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ok, that's it for chapter 3. I promise they will have more fun starting next chapter. I live in a place with a lot of snow, and it can be a pain, but also fun. So I'm going to try and show a little of both sides. Anyway, that's it for now. If anyone has any ideas, or things that they might want to happen, let me know and I'll try and put them in. If I don't, please don't be mad. Oh and I'll update as often as I can. It's tough with school and all, plus my rents want me to do stuff, so it gets hectic. Ok, enough rambling.
Please Review! Ja ne ~!
