We Can't Be Friends
Chapter Seventeen: Just Friends......Right
'Bastard.' Kagome thought to herself. As soon as she woke, Sesshomaru bombarded her with more questions. He nagged her through her shower, and while she dressed and applied her make-up. He was STILL bothering her when she collected her tote bag, complete with her erotica collection.
When he finally let her out, he was red in the face. Half way out the door he had a sneezing fit that Kagome found quite hilarious.
But now she was free for breakfast with a yoga class afterwards. As she entered the large dining room, the first thing that caught her attention was the crowdie ness. The second thing was most girls were turned and staring at someone. She followed their eyes and was almost angry for seeing Inuyasha. He caught her glaring at him and waved. As she was straightening herself out to wave back, the adoring eyes turned on her with loathing.
Ignoring the death glares, she seated herself at the last available table. A kind waitress came and took her order of an omelet and coffee. She settled herself in, and rummaged in her bag for her FAVORITE series; Erotica for the Soul (Bite me Chicken Soup!) and eagerly started the first chapter.
The first unpleasantly of the morning came when she felt eyes on her. When she lowered the book, she finally noticed about a dozen pair of eyes fastened to her swoop necked t-shirt, or more accurately, the pair of breast in it.
"Jerks," she murmured. But as soon as she got back into her book, a shadow covered the table, and she forced herself to look up.
There stood a handsome man with piercing blue eyes and dark hair. He had a beautiful smile, and was currently gracing her with it.
"Can I get your autograph?" he asked thrusting a napkin at her. Kagome frowned.
"I think you've mistaken me for someone else."
He smiled at her again.
"You have to be a star dropped from the heavens," he said eyes twinkling. Kagome bust out laughing, drawing more attention to her enchanting voice. She took a pen from her bag and quickly scribbled Very cute, but get new material.
When she handed it back he grinned.
"I guess I'm a bit old-fashioned."
"That you are."
"I'm Kouga by the way."
"Kagome."
They shook hands.
"So Kagome, what brings you on this cruise?"
Kagome pouted and slumped her shoulders as if she were sad. She looked up at him with big eyes that were completely innocent.
"I'm here with my fiancé."
She hoped that would be hint enough, but he only moved closer
"Where is he now?" he whispered.
"Back at our room."
"I'd be by your side at all times," he said by her ear. She instinctively moved back, eyes sparkling in amusement.
"That's until another pretty face comes along right?" she asked. He blushed as Kagome picked up her book and looked a bit to her right. "I've been observing a red head staring a hole in my head. I guess she's with you?"
"An old girlfriend, that's all." He assured her.
"Hello and good-bye is all you're getting from me. Why don't you go back over there? She looks kinda lonely."
"But-"
Out of no where her knight in shining armor appeared.
"She said scat, so do it!" Inuyasha said coolly behind her. Kagome laughed lightly and introduced him with a wave of her hand.
"This is the fiancé I was telling you about."
"Yeah, and I don't appreciate some dirt bag sniffin around my woman like some mangy wolf!" he growled. (BGLI: Hahahaha! I couldn't resist!)
Suddenly Kagome's food came, and she diverted her attention from the two hunks standing above her. Her little face lit up as she quickly devoured the cheese oozing from the sides.
After a name calling contest, the boy; Kouga left. Kagome thanked Inuyasha with her eyes, but continued to stuff the delicacy in her mouth. When she started on the complimentary doughnuts, a young couple walked in. They looked around worriedly, and she followed their gaze. There were no available tables, and no one looked anxious to leave.
With a deep sigh she waved them over to her table, and they thanked her as they sat. She gathered her belongings, including the doughnuts, and plopped down at Inuyasha's table. He glanced at her briefly over the newspaper he read before helping himself to one of her doughnuts.
They sat there for about an hour. Sipping coffee and snacking on Krispy Crème double glazed doughnuts. The silence was comfortable, and the reading long. Coffee was instantly refilled when low, and the doughnuts just kept coming. (BGLI: can you tell I'm hungry? I'm so not focusing!)
"It's them!" a loud screech announced, startling our pair. They both looked up into the faces of two younglings. The girl was pretty and plump, the guy extremely tall with a monkey on his shirt.
"Do I know you?" Inuyasha growled.
"No." they said in unison. Kagome frowned up at them.
"But you know us?'
"Uh huh!"
Kagome stared at them dumbfounded.
"How?" she asked slowly. They turned to each other with excited smiles. The cute girl was the one to speak.
"We saw you two at the pool! You were so cute playing together! I mean, your chemistry is so obvious. Is this your honeymoon or something?"
"Actually-" Kagome was interrupted by her second anonymous fan.
"Well I decided that I wanted what you had and proposed!" the young girl squealed and showed off the little gold dolphin ring. Kagome looked at is closely. Defiantly a fake.
"I give em a week." Inuyasha muttered under his breath. Kagome kicked him under the table and smiled up at them.
"The best of luck to you," she said with a nod.
"Thank you! But if we're anything like you lovebirds we won't need it!"
"Oh yes ya will." Inuyasha murmured behind his newspaper. He earned another well aimed kick from Kagome.
"Well take care!" Kagome said cheerfully as they walked away.
"You too!" the boy called back, "And try not to take home any souvenirs!" he said with a wink. Kagome glanced at Inuyasha and her eyes widened.
"You alright?" he asked. She blinked a couple of times.
"Yeah, just thinking about what he said." She answered a bit dazed. He patted her shoulder.
"Don't worry, I brought plenty of condoms," he whispered. Kagome gasped and threw a doughnut in his face.
Ah. Sweet Love.

Asya18: Haha! You have asked good questions! No, Kagome cannot have children anymore. The fact you hate Kagome's mom for hurting Kagome means I've done my job well. If you can feel something from my words, than it's good. I'm sorry for so much confusion! It comes for such poor writing in the first couple of chapters. I'm redoing them anyway, so I hope that helps you!
MyNameIs Rini: Your words make me smile! It's good for the ego to hear praise for your stuff. I shall stop all the brokenheartness! More Kag/Inu interaction and mucho fluff in the near future!

Michelle: And for those who don't like my pairings, well at least now, it IS a Kag/Inu fic. And for those who want Inu/Kik, Sess/Kag, watch for our next story titled Seer.
BGLI: I just posted another side of me, a dark/angst fic called When Daddy Returned. It is R rated, and pretty um......weird. It's a whole new me. I like it because it's different, so if you're not really open to the darker things, don't even try it. It's dark alright. VERY dark.
Michelle: And for those that are STILL reading this, much treats and candy and good food and Krispy Crème doughnuts to you all!
BGLI: Love, Peace......
Michelle: AND CICI'S PIZZA!
