Chapter 5
Not Accidental
Sango was still in her bedroom, fuming over what Miroku had done still. Ayame was washing the dishes as Kagome was lying on the couch, reading a book. The boys were on the porch sitting on the swinging bench or on the railing and just talking. Kagome could here every word the boys were saying.
"So which one of those girls in that house do you like best?" asked Miroku. "I love Sango's fiery temper."
"Miroku, you love any girl- "Koga said, beginning to count down using his fingers, "-that has a temper, that's hot, one who has a nice ass, one who has a big rack, one who has the perfect figure, and so forth." Inside, Kagome almost snorted with a mix of disgust and amusement.
"So? Is there a rule that I can't like a girl with any of those possibilities?" Miroku said.
"You mean qualities you moron." Inuyasha corrected.
"Whatever."
"What about Kagome for you Inuyasha?" questioned Koga, ignoring Miroku.
"Nah, she looks a lot like her." He answered.
"Come to think of it, she does look like her." Miroku added. "I never noticed it before."
"Maybe they're twins or sisters." Koga suggested.
"I doubt it. Kagome has too much of a temper and possessiveness to be like her." Inuyasha replied. Kagome had no clue to whom they were referring to. I wonder who they mean…she thought.
She got tired of reading her book so she marked her place and set it down on the coffee table. She stood up and stretched. Kagome picked up a light sweater and put it on. She opened the door and into the light on the porch.
"Where are you going?" inquired Miroku.
"For a walk. Is that a crime or something?" the girl retorted. She walked down the steps and was about walk down the street when Inuyasha stopped her.
"I'll come with you. I could use some fresh air." He replied. Kagome nodded and the both of them began to walk down the street, past other vacationing houses. Neither of them spoke and they felt that the silence was acceptable.
"W…Who is 'she'?" Kagome asked finally.
"What do you mean?"
"I overheard you and your friends talking about some girl who I seem to look like." Kagome explained.
'It's someone I know." Inuyasha resolved, slightly embarrassed. They walked past the shops in silence again. Did they have nothing in common at all? The quietness was really getting old. "You know, that was me."
"What?" Kagome was rather confused by what he just said.
"I was the one who wrote that letter when we sent you that box full of cockroaches and spiders." Inuyasha clarified.
"And you're telling this to me because…" Kagome still had no idea why the hanyou was telling this to her.
"Never mind." Then it finally hit her.
"Wait a minute. Did you mean everything in that letter?" she questioned suspiciously.
"I said forget about it." Inuyasha began to walk ahead of the bewildered girl. When she snapped out of her trance like state, she ran to catch up with her.
"Why are you ignoring my question even though you were the one who brought it up?"
Before Inuyasha didn't say anything because at that very moment, something came tumbling out of the sky and right above Inuyasha and Kagome's heads. When they were hit, the pain was so great that they blacked out.
"Kagome? Kagome? Wake up. Kagome?" called a voice. Kagome slowly opened her eyes to see Ayame and Koga hanging above her face.
"Are you alright, Kag? Some people from a store brought you and Inuyasha home because something fell on our heads." Ayame explained. Kagome brought her hand up and felt the splintering pain, passing in and out of her head.
"My head hurts so bad…" she moaned.
"Not as bad as Inuyasha's. The people in the store said that the objects that fell on your head hit you first and then Inuyasha covered himself over you so you wouldn't receive anymore pain." Sango explained as she came into the room.
"How's…how's Inuyasha?" asked Kagome.
"He's still unconscious." She answered simply.
"I wonder who would have done such a thing." Ayame wondered out loud. Miroku came into the room as well.
"Someone said that they saw a two girls do it. One with dark brown, almost black short, laired hair and dark brown eyes. The other had long black hair and black eyes." Miroku defined. "They also said that a group of girls were with them."
"What did they drop?" Kagome questioned.
They looked at each other silently. "A box full of rocks." They said in unison.
"ROCKS! OH HOW WONDERFUL! WHAT A WONDERFUL THING TO DROP ONTO THE STREET!" Kagome yelled. She collapsed back onto the bed from the pain from her head.
"I don't think it was accidental." Koga observed. "It was more like it was on purpose."
"Oh yeah, then who would want to do that to Inuyasha and Kagome?" Sango replied.
Miroku turned to Kagome. "Do you know anyone who might want to hurt you?"
"Not that I know of."
"Nor me." said another voice. Everyone turned to the doorway to see Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, you shouldn't be up! You need to rest!" Kagome scolded.
"I was checking up to see if you were alright." He said. He walked over to Kagome and lay on her bed beside her.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I just need to lie down for a minute." He said a little drowsy. The other four turned back to each other.
"So are you saying someone might have a grudge against Kagome and Inuyasha?" Sango asked Miroku.
"I don't think it could be just them." He answered. "This may be the beginning. Any one of us could be next."
"I say that at least two of us have to stick together." Ayame recommended.
Miroku hastily raised his hand. "I call being with Sango!"
Sango went red in the face. "You can't just call me you hentai!" she yelled.
"Yes I can. I was looking at you so I can call you." Miroku explained. Sango glared daggers at him.
"I guess I'm with you Ayame." Koga replied. The red head girl nodded.
"And Inuyasha with Kagome." Ayame finished. "What do you think of that guys?" No respond from the hanyou or the girl. All four turned around to see both asleep and Inuyasha's arm draped over Kagome.
