Collecting Inuyasha

After they had finished eating dinner, Kagome and Inuyasha had gone down to the well house. They spent about 2 hours hauling up the stones and splintered wood out of the bottom of the well. Well, Inuyasha was the one who spent 2 hours hauling up stones and splintered wood out of the well. Kagome was just the slave driver with a whip. And Inuyasha swore he saw Buyo laughing at him . . . again.
Kagome had to once again sleep in the same bed as Inuyasha. Somehow Buyo had managed to scratch the hell out of her bed so that all that was left were feathers and shredded pieces of cloth. How one small cat managed to inflict so much damage, she'll never know.
When Kagome got up the next morning she decided to get out before anything else happened again. She quickly darted to her room and pulled on a pair of jeans and an extremely baggy white T-shirt that said "I love Cats" on it and fastened the bottom of the shirt together with a hair elastic. Grabbing another elastic from her dresser she quickly pulled up her hair into a high ponytail. She pulled some socks out of the drawer and stumbled down the hall while trying to pull on her socks at the same time. She didn't see Mr. Fat Cat Buyo lying sprawled out across the hallway floor and tripped over him. The cat screeched and darted away while Kagome thudded to the ground.
She felt the skin on her left elbow peel as she skidded across the shiny hardwood floor. She hissed as she brought the self inflicted wound to her sight. The large red mark on her arm stung as she blew on the open wound and picked herself up off of the ground.
She shook out her arm and headed towards the kitchen. After putting on some antiseptic on the burn, she continued on her way. Warm rays of sun shown down on her through the windows as she manoeuvred around the kitchen, pulling out pots and pans, and getting food out of the fridge. She quickly turned on one of the burners and set down a pan on it, cracking in some eggs and then quickly whisking them with a fork.
She threw some bread into the toaster and turned on a second pan for the sausages and vegetables. With extreme skill she cut all of the vegetables and the sausages and threw them into the pan while splashing on some soy sauce. While those were cooking Kagome walked over to the fridge and pulled out some orange juice and glasses. Carefully setting them down on the counter on top of placemats, she poured the juice into the cups. She set down some chopsticks and topped the place off with a little vase with a daisy in it. She looked down the hallway when she heard the shuffling of footsteps make their way closer and closer.
"Good morning Inuyasha!" Kagome greeted cheerfully as he walked in the kitchen, scratching the back of his head. He grunted in reply and walked over to see what she was doing. He raised an eyebrow at her choice of shirts.
Kagome ignored him and scooped out the sausage and the flavour soaked vegetables and plopped them into the eggs, flipping the egg over so she was making an omelette. As the toast popped she quickly grabbed and buttered them both. Inuyasha watched in fascination as she moved swiftly from one side of the kitchen to another, managing not to burn anything.
Inuyasha took a deep whiff of the aroma in the room. Sure the whole omelette thing smelt nice and all, but frankly, all he wanted was ramen. And same with Frank. Inuyasha let out a yawn that threatened to break his jaw and sat down on one of the chairs with a place all set up.
Inuyasha let out a gasp. "Kagome. For me? You shouldn't have!" He smirked when he heard a sarcastic snort from her.
"It's not just for you," Kagome replied with her back still towards him. Inuyasha watched as she scooped the omelette out of the pan and onto the cutting board and then proceeded to cut it into strips. Kagome turned around and presented two plates with breakfast for each of them. She set them down and sat in the chair across from him. "I just don't feel like eating Ramen for breakfast lunch and dinner all the time."
Inuyasha pretended to look hurt as he picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of the omelette. "And here I was thinking that while I was here we would be eating on an endless supply of my favourite food." He stressed the word favourite and inserted a piece of the food into his mouth. Kagome rested her head on her clasped hands, waiting for the hanyou's reaction.
"Woah! It's almost as good as ramen!" Inuyasha exclaimed while shovelling more of it into his mouth. Even though he still liked ramen better, he thought it was best not to mention that fact to Kagome. The last time he did that he was 'sat' six-feet under, still managing to hold his beloved cup of Ramen above ground saving it from harm while Kagome stormed off.
"See!" Kagome smiled as she delicately started to pick at some of her own food, "There's much more to life than ramen!"
Inuyasha smiled nervously but was cut off when an overly obese cat jumped onto his lap. "Whaddya want, cat?" The cat meowed at him and nuzzled his face into the hanyou's stomach.
"Keh! Fine!" Inuyasha rolled his eyes and gave the cat some of his breakfast. The cat happily took some into his mouth and pranced off.
Kagome stopped eating and raised an eyebrow at him. Inuyasha frowned defensively. "What?" He snapped at her.
"Nothing," Kagome mused as she took a drink of her orange juice. "Just that you and my cat have a really weird relationship going on there!"
"Not half as weird as ours . . ." Inuyasha snorted and looked somewhere off to the side.
"Pardon me?" Kagome asked innocently.
"Oh . . . nothing . . ." Inuyasha waved her off. Kagome shrugged and downed the rest of her drink while getting up and clearing her and Inuyasha's spot away.
"Oh, Inuyasha!" Inuyasha looked up when she called his name. "You might want to go and get dressed. I plan on starting and hopefully finishing the well today. We still don't want to take our chances with that weird collector man."
Inuyasha snapped into full attention with the mention of the weird guy. He had forgotten all about him. He remembered the strange yearning look the collector gave him when he spotted his ears. It gave him the chills. Inuyasha, who could get a fist through the chest or vitally wounded and who never showed any kind of weakness to anyone, shuddered under the look the man had given him only a few days before.
Inuyasha silently nodded his head and got up to go to the bedroom and get dressed. He decided to put his comfortable red haori on today seeing as they wouldn't be going out today and it was a shrine after all. He turned to walk into Kagome's room remembering he had left it in there.
He opened the door and stopped short when he saw Buyo freeze, looking innocently at Inuyasha as he had one of his paws positioned over a now completely shredded pillow. Inuyasha growled and gave him the finger for kami knows why, grabbed his clothing, and walked out of the room slamming the door behind him. He walked passed a confused looking Kagome and into the bedroom he was temporarily living in.
He had only just pulled on his pants when he heard a shriek and the sounds of Kagome's appalled sounding voice shot out Buyo's name. Inuyasha was shrugging the top half of his haori on in amusement as he heard Buyo's claws scamper across the floors as he made a feeble attempt to run away.
Inuyasha walked out of the room the same time as Kagome and watched as she let out a distressed huff. Inuyasha looked down to see the shredded . . . whatever it used to be in her hands. Kagome brought her hands up to her temple and started to rub them.
"I don't know what's gotten into him lately." Kagome distressed and then brought down her hands and threw the shredded thing back into her room. She turned towards Inuyasha and smiled. "We should probably get started on the well, ne?" And with that Kagome made her way to the front door to go and put on some shoes.
Inuyasha agreed and they both made their way out towards the well house. The sun was already up and shining down on the dew covered shrine grounds. The dew drops reflected the suns rays and it was the perfect temperature weather for working. It was nice and bright out but the sun hadn't been out so long that it had yet to warm up the air around them. The birds off in the distance twittered happily from the Goshinboku's large branches.
Personally, Inuyasha just wanted to rip their heads off. 'Birds these days . . .' Inuyasha shook his head pitifully, 'They're too happy for their own damn good in the morning. Don't worry little guys. I'll be more than happy to run my claws through you head. Oh whats that? You want me to kill you offspring too? And distant relatives? And- '
"Inuyasha hurry up!" Inuyasha was snapped out of his thoughts at the sound of Kagome's voice. He quickly made his way into the dark well house where Kagome was waiting for him.
He quickly walked into the cool dark of the well house. Inuyasha was temporarily blinded as he waited for his eyes to get used to the dark. He spotted Kagome beside the demolished well, preparing the 'cement' stuff they were going to use. He bent down beside her and stared at the cement.
"Oi is this stuff edible?" Inuyasha asked while prodding it with a finger. He scrunched up his nose while bringing his cement covered finger to eye level.
Kagome ignored him as she pulled her hair back to get ready. Buyo meowed from somewhere off in the dark causing Inuyasha to snarl back.
"I am NOT stupid you stupid cat!" Rubbing his finger off on his pants as he stood up beside the miko and awaited further instruction from Kagome.
"Okay so here's what we do," Kagome started as she picked up two tools for spreading, "First you scoop some of this cement stuff onto this and the spread it evenly over the stone. After that you put it in place in the well. It might help if you count to ten and hold it in place."
"Like this?" Inuyasha took one of the tools and proceeded to follow Kagome's directions by smoothly spreading the mixture over one of the stones. He then slammed down the stone into place, almost making it crack from the impact.
"Yes but be careful Inuyasha!" Kagome warned while she too began the process of spreading the thick grey mixture over the surface of the stones. "We don't know what could happen if we don't even put one of the stones in. For all we know we could be stuck here forever. What would we do then! The Shikon jewel would never be completed! Naraku would slaughter the entire world if we aren't there."
"Um . . . Kagome."
"And what about Sango and Miroku and Shippou! What if something awful happens to them!"
"Hello! Earth to Kagome!"
"What if they die from some awful disease that could be cured in my time! What if Sesshoumaru is the one who kills them because he was looking for you!"
"Kagome!"
"What if we aren't there to save more innocents from being killed! What if- "
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha had grabbed hold of the hyperventilating girl. "If you say 'what if' one more time I will tie you to that chair over there and slap you until you calm down!" Inuyasha grabbed her face in his hands and looked down at her, sun kissed orbs meeting teary blue ones.
"I-I'm sorry," Kagome choked out. "I'm just really worried! What if-"
"Shhh," Inuyasha placed a warm finger against her quivering lips, "Remember what I told you about the 'what if's? I'll have to take you inside and do the work for you. Now you wouldn't want me to do everything would you?"
It was then that Kagome realized how close their faces were. The smallest blush crept up to her face. The hands on her face felt so warm against her. Her heart sped up as she continued to gaze at the face before her in mild confusion.When did she start to feel so warm?
Before she knew what was happening, the finger pressed against her mouth was swiftly replaced with warm tender lips. It wasn't so much of a kiss; more of a brief contact of skin.
Kagome looked up at him in complete and utter confusion now as he pulled away. Inuyasha, taking notice in the mixed swirl of emotions running through her eyes, he quickly put a lot of distance between the two and stubbornly went back to work.
"I'm sorry." Inuyasha frowned as he slabbed on more cement, "I shouldn't of done that. Forget about it."
"Umm. . ." Kagome bit on her nail nervously. "I-it's really okay. I didn't. . .mind."
Inuyasha stopped his movements for brief second. After a short stretch of silence, Inuyasha smirked slightly to himself and continued on with his work.

It was almost sunset by the time they had almost finished completing the well.
Kagome flopped down outside into the cool shade of the giant tree, Inuyasha jumping up to one of the higher branches above her.
"Man," She sighed, wiping a bead of sweat from her upper brow, "I'm beat. Who knew repairing a well could be so much work!"
Inuyasha snorted and turned his head to the side, refusing to show any weakness to the raven-haired girl. "Keh . . . It wasn't that hard."
Kagome smiled up at his stubborn attitude. It was clear as day that anyone working that hard, would be tired. Even for a demon. Standing up and dusting off her back-side, she called up to the half-demon resting in her tree.
"Hey! Inuyasha! Would you like a drink of water?"
It was only then that he realized how parched his throat was. They had barely even stopped for lunch. And not to mention every time she did offer water while he was working, he would shrug her off and continue on with his job.
To him, fixing the well came first. But if he didn't get something to drink within the next 5 seconds he felt like he was going to scream.
Not wanting to look too needy, he simply shrugged before turning his gaze back out to the dying sunset. He could almost feel her smile as she turned back towards the house. He followed the sound of her foot-steps until he heard the gentle open and slam of the screen door.
He continued to look about until something caught his eye.
A truck.
In the middle of the drive way.
A very BIG truck at that.
With lots of guys and those weird "gun" things he always saw on the magic TV box.
Ooh hey! One was looking at him!
Wait a minute . . .
Inuyasha barely had enough time to register everything before one of the men staring at him shot a tranquilizer dart into his neck. His body instantly went numb. He felt his back grind against the rough bark of the tree as he began to slip slowly, before falling quickly to the ground. The last thing he saw was the scary men and Kagome looking frightened through the window, right before raising their guns to her head.
Then everything went black.
