Chapter Seven: New But, Familiar
Inuyasha kissed Kagome one more time and laid his head back on the bed pillow, "Kagome..."
"Yeah?" she said looking up at him.
"We didn't finish our homework." he smirked.
She giggled and laid her head on his chest, "Well, it's Friday and since our papers are all over the floor and neither of us feel like picking them up..."
He smiled, "What're you sayin'?"
"I'm saying I'd much rather be kissing you than doing my homework. No worries though, we will study." she laughed.
"Damn..."
"You pig!" she said hitting him and then turned around to toss her bookbag off the bed.
"Just kiddin'." he grinned demonically.
She sat up stretched, "Are you hungry?" she asked him.
"Sure am..." he eyed her from the back.
"Don't think I don't know what you're doing." she said not facing him.
"What? I didn't do nothin'!"
She turned around, "You don't have to do anything." she arched an eyebrow.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you found yourself a new hobby." he said.
She rolled her eyes, "You sure are full of yourself."
He sat up, "I smell ramen..."
"I told Mama to cook it just for you." she said.
He was looking down, "Uhm..."
"What?"
"I feel so weird now. Your brother walked in on us...we'll never live it down." he said.
"Oh, the only person that would tease us is Sota and my mom would shut him up." she said swinging her legs off the edge of the bed.
He smirked, "Yeah."
They went downstairs resulting in strange stares from Kagome's grampa and Sota but her mother smiled, "Hungry?"
"Y-Yeah..." Kagome looked down.
"What about you, Inuyasha?"
"Uhm, yeah." he said flushing.
"You have to be! All you guys were doing was sucking each others faces off!" Sota made a gagging gesture.
"Oh my God..." Kagome looked down, her face was now purple.
"Sota! Hush!" her mother intervened.
"Fine." he said.
They all sat down and ate dinner and it was finally time for Inuyasha to leave.
"Uhm, I'll see you-" Kagome began.
"Tomorrow." he said with a serious expression.
"Tomorrow?" she asked.
"Yeah." he smirked and kissed her, "Kagome, I want to see more of you." he said softly against her lips.
"I suppose that's fine." she whispered and pushed her lips to his.
He dropped his bag and wrapped his arms around her, stroking her neck.
"Mmm." she pulled away, "I'll see you tomorrow." she smiled.
He grinned, "Had enough?"
She smiled, "Today."
"Here's a going away present." he said and lowered his lips and kissed her neck.
Shivers ran up her spine, "I-Uh Y-You'd better get going."
He grinned evily and pulled away, kissing her, "Bye."
"Bye." she smiled.
He waved and got into the car, driving down the road.
She sighed, blushing and walked back up the shrine steps.
"Will THIS ever be a story!" grinned a hiding spectator.
Miroku knocked on Sango's door, "Hello?"
He swept her off the doorstep and kissed her, "Hello beautiful."
She flushed, "Is something wrong?"
"No, but something's right. Can I come inside?" he asked.
"Of course." she said opening the door.
"Let's go to your room." he said.
"You can leave NOW!" she yelled.
"No! I have something to show you!" he said waving about a thick envelope.
"Oh...sorry." she smiled.
"It's all right, It's to be expected." he said.
She led him upstairs and sat down on the floor, "What is it?"
He smiled, "I just got these developed." he said pulling out a pile of photographs.
"Oh my God!" Sango said as she flipped through the last three.
"Yeah." he smiled. In the last three photographs were Inuyasha and Kagome's little good-bye scene.
"When did this happen?"
"Earlier today. I was hiding in the bushes."
"You were spying?"
"Yes-I mean no! I mean I hadn't meant to really..." he sighed.
"I won't say a thing. But this is great!" she smiled.
"Yes, it is." he said, "While I'm here..." he said putting an arm on her shoulder.
She punched him in the side, "Don't be a pig!"
"I wanted to know if you wanted to go out." he said holding his side.
"Hold on." she smiled and reached for her telephone. She dialed a number, "Hello? Kagome? Do you want to go out to see a movie tomorrow?" she asked, "Okay, yeah, bye."
He got the idea and took the phone, "Hello, is Inuyasha there? Yeah, Inuyasha, would you want to see a movie tomorrow? Yeah, okay. Bye." he gave her a thumbs up.
"So it worked?" she asked smiling.
"It did." he said.
Inuyasha waited outside the cinemas, "Where the hell is he?"
"Right here!" Miroku waved to him with someone hanging on his arm.
"What's Sango doin' here?" he asked.
"What are you doing here?" someone put a hand on his shoulder and he turned.
"K-Kagome?" he studdered.
"Yeah, but..." she scratched her head and whispered, "I wasn't supposed to see you until later."
"Don't try to hide it you two!" Sango smiled.
Kagome flushed, "Hide w-what!"
"I saw you. Both of you." Miroku smirked.
Inuyasha flushed angrily, "You damned spy!"
"Why you..." Kagome said.
Inuyasha pulled her to him, "Oh well!" he said in an irritated tone.
She flushed, "You really don't mind?"
"What?" he said confused at this point.
"You don't mind being with me?" she asked.
"Damned fool, I told you yesterday." he said looking at her intensely.
"Well, since I can't live with the guilt..." Miroku held a picture out.
"Oh my gosh!" Kagome's whole face turned crimson.
"You...ASSHOLE!" Inuyasha yelled waving his arms about.
"Uh...Inuyasha...I thought you didn't mind..." Kagome said, her eyes tearing up.
He looked at her, "W-What? D-Don't cry!" he said his voice going high, "I didn't mean it like that! I'm mad at him!"
"Fine, fine, I apologize, but don't you want a souvenir?" Miroku said.
Inuyasha snatched the picture from him, "Souvenir...yeah."
"Let me see those!" Kagome said pulling the pictures from Miroku's hands. She flushed and stuffed them in her bag, "I don't think so."
"At least let me have one!"
"For what!"
"Because I want memories of you two and the love you share." he said.
"L-LOVE!" they both said in unison.
Sango smiled, "What are we seeing?"
"Uhm...what about the Vampire Hunter D movie?" Miroku asked.
"Sure thing." Kagome smiled and held tightly to Inuyasha who was blushing.
"All right, we'll get the tickets and you guys can-"
"Wait, we can get our own."
"No, Kagome. I'm gettin' your ticket."
"No, you're not. I'll get it myself." she said.
"I said I'm gettin' the damn tickets, woman!" he said.
"Fine!" she said as he turned on heel and left for the booth. She stuck her toungue out at him.
"Marriage will soon follow." Miroku mused then Kagome shot him a death glare.
"Damn woman, she's always so stubborn." he said to himself as he went to the concession stand.
"Hey, dog face!" Inuyasha turned.
"Koga..."
"What're you doin' here?" he asked.
"I'm out with my friends..." he chose his words carefully.
"With Kagome...?" he asked.
"Yeah, actually."
"What're you... You'd better not be dating her!" he growled.
"What if I am?" he said in a challenging tone.
"You bastard..."
"Hey, it ain't my fault how she feels!" he yelled.
"Stop it, both of you!"
"K-Kagome..." Koga said.
"Look Koga, I'm sorry, but I already told you I didn't feel that way." she said sadly.
"You mean to tell me that this piece of garbage is your boyfriend!"
"Quit it! Yes, I do care about him! I can't help that and I'm very sorry!" she said.
"Whatever..." he said walking off towards the mall entrance.
She sighed and turned back as Inuyasha's hand came upon her shoulder, "You okay?"
"Yeah... I just want him to understand." she said regretfully.
"Come on, don't be so upset, he'll have to learn." he said gently rubbing her back.
She hugged him, "I'm so glad to have you."
He hugged her back, "Me too."
"Shall we go?" Miroku smiled.
"Yep!" Kagome smiled and took hold of Inuyasha's hand.
They all came out an hour and a half later, thoroughly satisfied with the movie.
"Having a good time?"
Their heads snapped towards the source of the comment, "Kagura!"
"Yeah, so what? What are you going to do?" she snapped.
"Abosolutely nothing..." Miroku said and pulled Sango along.
"Nothing you say?" she smiled.
"Shut up, bitch!" Inuyasha said following Kagome, "Miroku, Sango, get in my car."
"Hold your toungue, dog-boy." she hissed.
"Fuck off!" he said pushing Kagome into the car.
"You'll soon be sorry, Inuyasha!" Kagura yelled.
"What the hell ever." he said.
"Inuyasha..."
"She's bluffing, Kagome. She's a dumb bitch and if Naraku has problems with me he can take them up with me." he started the car and drove down the road.
"Inuyasha, don't ask for something like that." Miroku said from the back seat.
"I ain't askin'! I'm just sayin', they ain't gunna do nothin'." he said.
"You can't be so sure..."
"Look, Miroku, it's just to scare us. They think their bad asses and they ain't gunna do shit." he said swiftly taking a turn.
"But what if they do something to Kagome?"
"They won't 'cause they know I'll kill em."
"But they know you guys are dating."
"How do you figure?"
"You had your arm around her all night and you kissed her in the movie house." he reasoned, "If they were watching us, they saw everything."
"Nothin's gunna happen. I won't let it." he said stopping at Sango's house.
With a breif kiss on the lips from Miroku she spoke up, "We need to keep an eye on each other. From now on, we stay together."
"I know, I know!" he said.
"Bye you guys. Take care." she said and shut the door.
He continued drivng and dropped Miroku off. He took a long way to Kagome's house but the entire way there he noticed her staring at him from the corner of his eye, "What?"
"Inuyasha...please be careful..." she whispered.
"No one's gunna touch you, don't worry." he grinned.
"I'm not worried about me. I'm worried about you." she said sadly.
"They ain't gunna touch me!" he said stopping right in front of the shrine.
"But what if they do! What will you do then!"
"Even if they do, they ain't gunna hurt me!" he said.
"Just be careful okay? That's all I want!" she said tears forming in her eyes.
He smiled and leaned down and kissed her softly to which she responded, "Look...I'll be careful. I want you to do the same."
She nodded, "Okay..." she opened the door to get out but Inuyasha's hand found hers.
"Kagome."
"Yes?"
"Love you." he smiled.
She smiled brilliantly, "I love you too, Inuyasha."
"Bye, babe." he smiled.
"Bye." she smiled and ran happily up the shrine steps. She heard his car pull away and fell onto the top of the steps, "Wow..." she smiled to herself. About that time she heard the skidding of tires and a loud crash. She jumped up and ran down the stairs. To her horror at the end of the street was Inuyasha's car flipped upside down, laying on an embankment, "INUYASHA!" she screamed and took off at full speed, "Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" she screamed crying hysterically. She reached the wreckage and fell to her knees seeing Inuyasha still hanging upside down by his seatbelt. She pulled the door opened and crawled inside, "Inuyasha! You can't leave, not now! " she said sobbing, "DAMN IT ALL!" she cried trying to unfasten the buckle, "Unsnap!" she yelled in frustration. Then as if by command the buckle unsnapped and he fell down. She pulled him out of the vehicle by his arms and held him to her chest. His head was bleeding and his arm seemed dislocated.
"What happened!" said Kagome's mother running towards her.
"Mom! PLEASE! Call someone! He's hurt really bad!" she bawled.
"Right!" her mother said running back to the house and getting the paramedics on the phone immediately.
A few minutes later the paramedics came and hauled him into the ambulance with Kagome at his side, "It'll be okay, Inuyasha. I'll never leave you..." she whispered pushing back his silver locks and closing her eyes sadly.
