Chapter 7

"Ow my head." she groaned. It felt like a million daggers were lodged into her brain. It was the worst headache she had ever gotten. Gently she rubbed her head, trying her best to relieve the pain.

She stood up, "Woah." the pain was worse when she stood so she sat back down. "Great." she leaned backwards and closed her eyes.

"Kagome? You awake?" said a voice from behind her.

"Yeah Sango but I feel like shit."

Sango laughed, "Well that's what happens the first time you drink...and a lot of other times but the first is the worst."

Aside from her headache she also had a vile taste in her mouth. She couldn't remember much of what happened at night but she recognized the taste. It was whatever she drank last night. She didn't even know what it was called.

"Common, lets get you some aspirin and coffee."

She tried to stand again but was unsuccessful so she went onto all fours and crawled. It was like when you try to escape the cold so you crawl on the ground or when you escape the fire smoke. Instead she was temporarily escaping the pain.

She dragged herself into one of the chairs and slumped her head onto the table. "This sucks."

"Hangovers aren't spost to be good. It's like your warning not to drink again. Not that anybody ever listens." she replied as she started the coffee and grabbed the pills. "Pop in 2 of these and you should be feeling better in... an hour maybe."

She groaned. At least another hour of this. She didn't think she would ever drink again. (Yeah that's what everyone says) She tossed the pills into her mouth and gave a big gulp of her water.

"Do you suppose anybody else feels this bad?" she asked.

"Maybe Miroku but I doubt it."

"What about Inu-Yasha?"

She laughed, "You could say he can't get a hang over. He never gets sick."

"Well isn't he just so lucky." She replied bitterly. Then she slumped her head back onto the table.

She closed her eyes and felt the pain slowly ease from her head. After a cup of coffee her headache went from throbbing to annoying so she lay her head back onto the table.

Knock Knock someone was at the door. "I will get it." Sango cheerfully said but Kagome didn't look up, she just kept her head on the table as if the pain would start all over again if she took it off.

Then she felt something on her shoulder. It felt like a hand, it soothed her for some reason. She looked up. It was Inu-Yasha. She smiled a truly genuine smile. Suddenly her headache was very faintly there. She kissed him, it felt warm. He scootched a chair over to her and wrapped his arm around her back.

"So how is your first hangover?"

"When I woke up I felt like shit but now I feel better." She sipped her coffee.

"Oh, my sister said you left your purse at the club." At the mention of sister Inu-Yasha and Sango laughed.

"Did I miss something? You have a sister?" that made them laugh harder.

"How did you forget?" Sango said between gasps.

"Please, refresh my memory; I can't remember much from last night."

"You said that me and Sess had long hair like a girl so you said we were sisters." He laughed again.

"I did not!"

"Yeah you did."

She strained her memory. GASP "Oh shit I did!"

"HAHA you were so plastered last night."

"Well, what do you expect?" She groaned. "What did I drink anyways?"

"I honestly have no idea. I always let Miroku pick out the drinks." he shrugged, "Common, I'm gonna take you out so go get ready."

She slumped from her chair and staggered out of the room. He rolled his eyes. He hurried over to his girlfriend and picked her up bridal style. "WOAH!"

He put her into the bathroom and left, "Kagome, where is your stuff?"

"The front room."

And off he went. He grabbed her stuff and brought it back to her. He found her clothes but was smacked when he took out her underwear.

He turned around so she could change. "Get out."

"Why?"

"Because I'm changing."

"You afraid I'm gonna hear your nakedness?" he slyly smiled.

"Fine then." She gave in. It wasn't like he was going to look anyways. "Ok I'm done."

He looked upon his beloved. Her hair was a mess.

He found a hairbrush and sat her down on a stool. Then he began to gently brush her hair. It felt silky and soft. He didn't want to stop but he felt he must so he put the brush away.

He decided to let her do her own makeup. He was likely to screw it up. With that all done they were set to go.

Just as they were leaving Miroku showed up looking for Sango. He entered and they left.

"I can only imagine what those 2 will be up to." He laughed. "Knowing Miroku he will get very far with Sango or he will be leaving with a face full of slaps." She joined in with the laughter. She had taken another pill before she left and she was almost feeling like herself again except for the fact that she was drugged up.

"So what's the plan?" she asked.

"Lunch to begin with."

"Where?"

"Club-D, you left your purse there. Don't worry, during the day nobody is there.

They began to walk down the street. "Are we walking?"

"Yeah, I left my car at home."

"I have my car."

"Nah, it will do you some good to walk."

She sighed.

Club D

"Hey Sess."

"Oh, Inu-Yasha, I have errands to run but Jaken will help you."

With that he swept away leaving them.

"Oh great. I have to look at that ugly face already in the day."

He groaned and walked away from Kagome. "I will be right back with lunch."

Then he entered a room that looked like the kitchen.

Kagome decided to look around. She couldn't remember much of what it looked like and seeing it without people would help her.

There was no one there. She felt almost scared like she was in one of those horror movies where everybody is dead and she hiding from the killer. She walked up to the bar; it seemed Sess left her purse there. She looked through it, nothing was missing. She didn't see how that was possible but assumed that someone found it right away.

Just then the door to the kitchen opened with Inu-Yasha exiting with 2 plates in his hands. It seemed they were having cheeseburgers and fries. She could have squealed with delight. She was so incredibly hungry. She couldn't remember eating anything here last night, just a lot of booze.

She joined him at the table and sat next to him. "This looks great Inu-Yasha. Thanks." Then she remembered that Jaken had cooked it so she turned to the kitchen and yelled, "THANKS JAKEN!"

She heard a mumble from behind the door.

She turned back to her food and began to shove it in. So did Inu-Yasha. If someone was to peer into their lunch they would think they were 2 pigs. Not even 5 minutes later they were done.

"Want a drink?" He asked, Kagome paled and he laughed. "Coke I mean." He saw relief on her face as she nodded.

"So where are we going now?" she asked. Her mourning just kept getting better.

"I was thinking the park."

Park

They finally made it! Kagome's feet hurt so much that half way through Inu-Yasha ended up carrying her on his back. Not that he minded. With her head so close to his she would sneak in little kisses on his cheek. Now that they were there she felt she could walk again.

To her surprise there was no one at the park. Also this park was unfamiliar. How had she lived in this town her whole life and not see this park? She looked around the neatly kept grass. There was a swing set to her left and a play set to her right and Inu-Yasha was...where was he? She couldn't see him. It scared her, he was missing, what if he ditched her. He ditched her in a park she had never been to and she had no idea where she was.

Then she saw a flash of red. Inu-Yasha was in a tree! She had no idea how he got up so high. He seemed pretty calm about it to. He had his eyes closed and he was laying on the branch. It looked like it could barely hold his weight.

Then she heard a noise so she turned around again and when she looked back at Inu-Yasha he wasn't in the tree anymore but walking towards her. She screamed. "How did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Get out of the tree so fast."

'Good one Inu-Yasha!' he had to think of something quick, "I'm a good climber?"

"Oh, well don't disappear on me again."

He let out the breath he didn't realize he was holding in. That was close.

"Common, lets go on the swings!" she yelled with glee and ran to them like a 5 year old child.

'She sure is enthusiastic.' He thought as he bounded after her, of course not going full speed.

Then they were swinging high in the air. All he could do was watch her. The way her hair flew back in fourth in motion with her body made her look all the more beautiful. The sun seemed to make all of her hair shimmer and glow. It was hypnotizing. He couldn't stop looking.

Finally she was embarrassed of being stared at so much, "What?"

"Kagome, you look beautiful today." His gold eyes staring holes into her.

She couldn't help but laugh and blush. He could be so sweet sometimes.

"So when did you find this place. It seems deserted."

"Me and Sess found it one night when I was about 10." Then he jumped off the swing and landed gracefully to the ground. When Kagome jumped she wasn't so lucky. The moment her feet hit the ground her legs collapsed so Inu-Yasha had to help her up.

As she was dusting the sand of her body Inu-Yasha felt something on his head. He put his hands up to his head and felt 2 tips of something furry. 'Oh SHIT!' his illusion came off. He had to think of something and fast. The only thing he could think of was to run into the trees and put it back on. Kagome was still dusting herself off so he ran. In less that 5 seconds he was in the trees. He muttered the spell and felt his ears disappear. Then he ran back and actually managed to get there before she noticed anything.

"You hair is a little messed up." She told him and then put his hair back to normal. He looked a little scared. She was going to ask why but he cut her off first.

"Wanna go for Ice cream?"

"Sure! But I don't know where any of the ice cream shops are."

"There's one down the street. Common."

Ice Cream Store

It was a very cute store. Everything was brightly coloured and fun looking. Also they had to have the best selection of ice cream there ever was. Kagome decided on chocolate chip and Inu-Yasha got Super Kid (for those of u who don't know what super kid is, my mom sells it at her work, Laura Secord, and it has red, blue and yellow in it. Its really good. Its my favourite)

She felt like such a little kid today. First a park and then ice cream. This had to be one of the funnest days she ever had not to mention that spending it with Inu-Yasha made it way better.

"I cant believe that this mourning I felt like shit and this day turned out to be the best day ever." She laughed.

"That's because you spent it with the great Inu-Yasha."

"Yes, oh great one." Then they both laughed.

Then they had a fun time making jokes about other people. "So why is your brother so creepy and emotionless, he's nothing like you."

"Sesshomaru always thought of emotions as a weakness so that's why he only lets them out with Rin. I only ever see him smile when he's about to beat the crap out of someone...or me."

"Does your brother always beat you when you fight? I remember that day I came over for practice and you said he beat you but it didn't look like it."

"He usually beats me but when I start to get the upper hand he usually retreats. Like this one time I cut part of his tai-"then he stopped, he almost said when I cut part of his tail off, so he finished, "I mean when I almost cut part of his toe off he gave up cus he knew he would loose." He didn't think it was wise to be talking about this any more so he quickly asked her, "I'm moving out sometime after battle of the bands so I wont have to see him anymore."

"Really, where are you moving?"

"I don't know yet, I just have to get away from my brother, I want to live on my own."

"Wish I could move out but I don't have a job so I cant buy a house."

He was going to respond but before he could someone walked through the door and apparently Kagome knew him.

"Oh my god! It's Hojo. Hide me!"

Inu-Yasha gave her a look of 'huh?'

To late, she had been spotted. "Higurashi!"

"Oh, Hi Hojo, didn't see you there." She lied.

It was like his prayers had been answered. He had liked her since junior high and had missed her a lot since high school ended. He had no idea where she was schooling, she had never told him. And now it was like he was being givin a second chance with her. Of course he thought that until he saw Inu-Yasha.

He looked at Kagome and then Inu-Yasha, "Oh! Sorry, this is Inu-Yasha."

Inu-Yasha didn't know why but this guy threatened him so he added, "Her Boyfriend."

Hojo felt his heart plummet. He had just lost her again. "Hi, well I have to get going, my grandma is waiting in the car. Bye." He waved and was gone.

"Who was that guy?"

"That was Hojo, I went to school with him for a long time and he had a crush on me. All of my friends bugged me and told me to go out with him but I never did even though he asked me about 10 times."

Inu-Yasha nodded. Now he hated the creep even more. It was like a sweet innocent version of Koga.

They were done their ice cream so they left. "Now where?"

"Common, we have to go home now, ill walk you to Sango's."

So hand in hand they walked together down the sidewalk.

Wimpy Kagome was tired and once again ended up on Inu-Yasha's back. Then she did something that surprised her, she fell asleep. She didn't realize how tired she was. When Inu-Yasha noticed his first thought was, "she looks so cute."

That's chapter 7

I know I know! It took me like a week to update! I had the worst writers block. Nothing would come to me. Oh and I want some more reviews! I want at least 3 more before I update again. I plan to have at least 2 chapters more, probably more than that. I know you guys are getting impatient with the hanyou thing but I don't want to skip so many days at once. Buh Bye!
