Hello everyone! ducks thrown vegetables I'm sorry It's been a while…. ok a long while, but I'm back and I have this chapter and the next chapter down pact. I need to work on the other chapters however, because, as I have mentioned to a few of you, I have strayed dangerously from the plot and need to fix it. I am also working on the next chapter to Outlawed Love as we speak so that should be out soon as well. I'm still not sure where the plot for that one is going but oh well. Ok well enough of this chitchat and on to the chapter!
Ch. 7 Trick or Treat?….. Trick!
Kagome's poor alarm clock only got out two beeps, before it was smashed to pieces by being hurtled against the wall by a very grumpy male hanyou; Kagome looked at the wreckage and groaned, "Inuyasha, why did you do that?" she asked in a whiney voice, he laid back down from sitting up and closed his eyes, "It was loud so I shut it up." He replied tartly and Kagome took note of her mate's mood. "What's bothering you now?" she asked in a confused tone, as she lay on her side with her head propped up on her fist while she traced circles on his chest.
Inuyasha sighed, "I'm not really sure. I just feel irritable for some reason." Kagome frowned, "You gonna be ok to hang out with my friends?" she asked, she had a worried look on her face and Inuyasha looked at her for a moment before turning back and staring at the ceiling, he sighed before answering her. "Yea I think I'm just not a morning person when I do sleep." Kagome smiled and jumped out of bed. "Well come on, we better get dressed, Souta's gotta be at school soon." Inuyasha let out a small growl of annoyance before he grudgingly got out of bed and headed to the box that held his stash of clothes for when he visited this time. He, like Kagome, preferred the punk style of clothing. He wore khaki long-shorts that ended ten inches above the ankle, a black t-shirt with the Warped Tour logo on it, he wore white ankle socks and black All Star converses with red laces, he had studded bracelets on and a studded belt to match. There was a chain going from his belt loop to his wallet in his back left pocket and as a last touch he wore a black System of A Down cap backwards to hide his ears. His hair was pulled into a low ponytail by a black elastic band.
Kagome nodded her head in approval of his attire; she then turned in a circle so that he could appreciate the full effect of her own outfit. She had on red and black plaid bell bottoms with a studded belt, a black wife-beater with red trim and a white skull and cross-bones on the front, the word "Rebel" was underneath it in red old English text and 01 was on the back in red. She also had black All Star converses on but her laces were black with two thin red stripes running down the center. Her hair was pulled back in two buns, and a red bandana donned her head to hide her ears, she also had a chain going from her belt loop to her wallet in her back pocket. "Nice." Inuyasha commented in a proud voice that made her smile, "Ok let's go. Oka-san's got breakfast ready." And they left her room and headed for the kitchen.
When they reached the kitchen they were met with a sight that made their mouth water, loads of food were spread out on the table. Souta and Jii-san were already eating and Mrs.Higurashi was getting a pitcher of orange juice out of the fridge. She looked at them with a smile while she placed the cold juice on the table, "Good morning you two, I see you still like those rocker clothes." Kagome smiled and sat down across from Souta, Inuyasha sat next to her. They ate bacon, toast, grits, eggs, and pickles. They were all quietly enjoying their meal, when the grandfather clock chimed that it was 7:45. Souta jumped, "I'm gonna be late! School starts in fifteen minutes!" Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other, smirked and nodded. Time for some exercise they jumped out of their chairs; Inuyasha grabbed Souta while Kagome grabbed his pack. "Bye Oka-san bye Jii-san!" she yelled and they were out the door. Mrs.Higurashi and her father just stood there blinking after them.
Kagome and Inuyasha ran/jumped from trees, roof tops, and light posts. Inuyasha was carrying Souta piggy back while Kagome carried the little kid's book bag. They reached the school with ten minutes to spare. "Ok Souta now you wait here for them to show up while we stand over there." Inuyasha said as he placed his little brother in-law on the ground; Kagome handed him his backpack and ruffled his hair. "Don't worry runt after today they won't mess with you again." She told him reassuringly, Souta nodded, "Ok." Kagome and Inuyasha walked over to a wall a good twenty feet away.
Just then Lee and Josh arrived at school. "Hey Josh wanna get a soda from the machine?" Josh shrugged, "Yea but we're broke remember." Lee groaned and smacked himself, "That's right. Damn it!" He uncovered his face and began to look around in annoyance, "Who could we ask for a donation?" Josh smirked, " Oh I think I just spotted a very generous citizen." An evil grin began to spread across his face as he talked. Lee gave him a puzzled look, "Who?" following his friend's nod Lee turned to look in front of Josh, when he noticed the target of his friend's gaze he too began to smirk in anticipation. "Higurashi." The two eighth graders casually strode up to the smaller sixth grade Souta, who by now had a worried look on his face.
"Hey Higurashi how's it goin?" Lee asked giving the boy a not too friendly smile. "F...ffine." Souta stammered, he had sweat on his face and was nervously glancing in the direction that he had seen Inuyasha and Kagome go, unfortunately for Souta; they were no longer there.
Josh put his hand on Souta's shoulder and gave it a light squeeze, just a taste of the potential pain that awaited the boy, "We were wondering if you could help us out Higurashi. See Lee and I here are really thirsty for some soda but we seem to be broke."
Lee smirked, "So do you think you could help us out Souta old boy? Think you could lend us some cash?" Souta backed up, shaking his head slowly. "No I need the money for lunch." Josh took a step forwards; closing the distance Souta had created. "Ah come on. We're doing you a favor that cafeteria food will make you sick." Souta shook his head again and turned to run for it but Lee was quicker and yanked him back by his shirt collar.
"Come on kid we're being nice here. Now hand over the money before we're forced to get rough!" Souta jerked back, trying to escape. He started kicking his legs and managed to connect with one of Lee's shins. "Ow! Why you little…" Lee's fist wrenched back and Souta closed his eyes, bracing himself for the pain that was sure to come. After a few seconds Souta blinked his eyes open in confusion. Where was the pain? He looked up to see Inuyasha standing over him and Lee, holding the other boy's fist in place. "Now now you aren't trying to hurt my little brother-in-law now are you?" Inuyasha said mockingly. Lee's eyes widened in shock and jerked himself free dropping Souta in the process. "Who the fuck are you!" Lee demanded. "Oh we're just some relatives concerned for the well-being of our little brother." Someone said behind Josh and the boy turned to see a tall girl with long black hair and a smirk on her face. Something about her was freaking him out. She grinned at him, revealing not teeth but fangs; Josh gasped and tripped over himself as he made his way over to Lee. "What the hell are you people!" Inuyasha narrowed his eyes, "That none of your concern." He growled and the boys flinched and gulped at the sound. "All you boys have to worry about is never messing with my brother again." Kagome added in a mockingly sweet voice as she walked over to stand next to Inuyasha.
Souta smirked and walked towards the two bullies. " So you two have to be nice to me or I'll call my sister and she and Inuyasha will kick your ass." "She's your sister!" Josh gasped in disbelief, "How the fuck are you related to that?" Kagome smiled, "That is something that the likes of you will never know. Just know that I am his sister and that my mate and I will be keeping an eye on you two." "So watch yourselves." Inuyasha added with a growl. And with that the two were gone, leaping onto the roof so fast that the two boys never saw them move.
Souta smirked at the two gaping idiots and walked proudly into the school with his head held high. Josh and Lee finally managed to compose themselves when the bell rang and quickly grabbed their bags and hurried into the building, silently swearing to never tell a soul what just happened. Besides, who would believe them anyway?
Ok so that wasn't a very long chapter. Sorry but it ends there, I'll try to have the next chapter out within the month but with school going the way it is and my need to get a job, I'm not promising anything. I hope to have the next chapter of Outlawed Love out soon also but I'm trying to work a song into it and I'm having trouble finding the one. Shrug I have a feeling I may end up just giving up and posting it without the song. Oh well until next time ja!
