Chapter 9:
A Question...A Movie
Disclaimer: Will you people get off my back??? I already told you that I do NOT own Inuyasha...so leave me alone. ::Sigh:: God...
Kagome woke up and looked around. She sat up and winced a little...her chest was still a little sore. She got up quietly, because her clock said it was 2:47am, and made her way down stairs. Kagome saw Inuyasha sleeping on the couch as she crept past and went into the kitchen...she couldn't help but smile, he looked so calm and peaceful and dare she say...cute. 'Tomorrow I'll set him up a bed in the guest room. It makes no sense that he sleeps on the couch when he could sleep in a bed.' The girl got a glass of milk and sat at the table, being as quiet as possible.
Obviously she wasn't quiet enough because as she sat down on the chair, Inuyasha walked into the kitchen. "What the hell are you doing up at this hour, Kagome?" He didn't sound angry...just annoyed. "You should be sleeping, not waking me up..."
"Keep your voice down Inuyasha...do you want to wake up the whole house?"
Kagome whispered.
"Sorry...but why are you awake?"
"I just couldn't sleep..."
Inuyasha gave his usual 'Feh' reply and sat down next to Kagome. Neither said a word...they merely sat there, enjoying each other's company. They didn't know how long they sat there, and every so often Inuyasha would glance at Kagome, as if wanting to tell her something, and yet not having the nerve to do it. Finally he spoke up. "Kagome..."
"Yes...Inuyasha...?"
"Which era do you like more...past or future?"
Kagome thought before she answered..."Well..." She began. "I like this era...I grew up here and there's so much to see. You can travel all over the world and it can be very beautiful, plus my family is here. But I love the past because it's so wonderful there...all the trees and the stars are so clear at night, plus the lakes and all the wildlife, it's a new adventure everyday...it's not like this era at all. And you guys are there...you, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo are kind of like my second family. Miroku and perverted cousin or brother, Sango is like my sister, Shippo my little brother, and you..."
"What about me..." Inuyasha said quietly as he leaned closer to Kagome.
"You're like my..." Kagome trailed off as she leaned closer to Inuyasha. They shut their eyes and got closer and closer together. Kagome could feel Inuyasha breathing. Their breath mingled together as they leaned in to kiss...
"I thought I heard someone down here..." The two jumped and looked over to the sound of the voice.
"Oh...hello Gramps." Kagome smiled at the older man. "Uh...what are you doing up so early?"
"I always wake up at this time Kagome...you should know that..."
"But it's like 3 in the morning..."
"No it's 6:00 Kagome."
"What???" Kagome was shocked. Had she really been talking to Inuyasha for three hours??? No...Inuyasha never talks to anyone...how could a conversation with him last for three hours?!? Kagome glanced at the clock and sure enough it was 6:00 am. "Umm..." She really didn't know what to say. "Uhh...want some breakfast, Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha perked up with the mention of food. "Yeah! Can we have ramon?"
"Sorry Inuyasha...we don't have any ramon. I'll go to the store later and get some. This morning we can have omelet." Kagome smiled at him sweetly.
"And that would be...?"
"You'll see..." The sweet smile on Kagome's face turned into a mischievous one...this scared Inuyasha...but only a little...
-Later
"Wow...Kagome! This is really good! What's it called again?"
Kagome giggled. "It's a cheese omelet. I'm glad you like it so much!" She took another bite. "So what do you want to do today?"
"Huh? What do ya mean?"
"Well...it is Saturday so I don't have to go to school, so we can do something...like go to the movies or the park or the mall or..."
"Are you sure you're up to that Kagome?" Inuyasha interrupted. "I mean you just got out of the hospital and you must be kinda weak. I don't want you to get hurt again...maybe you should take it easy today...we can do something tomorrow if ya want..."
Kagome sighed...she knew Inuyasha was probably right. She did feel kinda crappy...not to mention sore, but she didn't want to sit around all day and do nothing. 'We could go rent a movie...the video store isn't that far from here. Yeah we could watch some movies...but Inuyasha might not want to...Oh well. If he doesn't he doesn't...I'm not gonna force him...' Kagome sighed. "You're right...I feel like crap to tell you the truth...we can rent movies..."
"What the hell is a 'movie'?"
"Oh...I keep forgetting that you don't know anything about this time. Well a movie is..." Kagome paused trying to think how to explain it to Inuyasha. "Well...it's a...umm...uhh...Forget it I can't explain it. We can go rent one, then you can see what it is!!!" She smiled at him.
"Kagome?" Mrs. Higurashi walked into the kitchen. "Oh...good morning Inuyasha! I hope you slept well. Here are clothes you can wear while you're staying with us!" Mrs. Higurashi smiled at him and handed him a pile of clothing. Inuyasha murmured thanks and took the pile from her.
"Come on Inuyasha...let's go see if they fit!" Kagome grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the kitchen and up the stairs.
When they got into Kagome's room, Kagome took the clothes from Inuyasha. "Now...what should you try on first..." She pulled out a pair of black baggy pants, a red semi-baggy T-shirt, and a black bandanna and handed them to Inuyasha. "Here...try these on..."
He took them from her and went into the bathroom to change. Inuyasha tried his best to figure out how everything was supposed to go...and he came very close. As he came out Kagome smiled and said, "Your shirt's on back wards..." Inuyasha pulled his arms out of the sleeves, turned the shirt around and put back in the sleeves. Kagome smiled and nodded.
Inu held out the black cloth (the bandanna) and looked at Kagome. "What the hell is this thing for???"
Kagome took it from him and spun him around so his back was to he. "It's to cover your ears." She folded it in half and put it around Inuyasha head. Then tied the two ends together. "There...now on one will know that you're anything but ordinary. Though I kinda wish we didn't have to hide what you really are...I kinda like the ears..." (Inuyasha's thoughts) 'She likes my ears...?' (Kagome talking) "Oh! I almost forgot...here." She handed him a pair of sandals. "I know you don't like having your feet squished into shoes so I got you these. I think that you'll like them a lot more..."
Inuyasha gave her one of his rare smiles, unaware that he was showing any emotion. "Thanks..."
- Video store
"Now what kind of movie do you want...there's action, horror, romance, comedy, animated...you can choose pretty much anything..."
"How about this one...?" Inuyasha held it out to Kagome. She looked at the title, "'Pirates of the Caribbean'...that looks interesting. Ok...we can get that..." Kagome took the movie from Inuyasha and went up to the counter to pay for it. "Come on Inuyasha...time to go watch the movie..." The hanyou ran to ketch up with her. They walked back together, each stealing glances at the other. 'Her scent is so intoxicating...why do I always feel so calm and safe with her? I know I love her, but what about Kikyo? Do I still love the dead miko? And does Kagome really love me??? I know she said she did...but does she really feel so strongly about me??? Stop asking yourself dump questions, you idiot!!! You know that you don't deserve either girl, so why do you bother???' Sesshomaru's voice popped into his head, ' "Stupid half-breed!!!" Yep, that's me...' Inuyasha allowed a sigh to escape his lips...'I'm such a simpleton...' Inuyasha was so wrapped up in his own thoughts that he didn't even notice that they had arrived at Kagome's house.
Kagome asked Inuyasha to sit down as she set up the movie...she pushed the play button and sat down next to him, but not too close, and looked at the T.V. as the movie began...
Author's Note: Slight cliffy...I'm sorry I haven't up dated in a while...and sorry this chapter is kinda short (at least shorter than I wanted it to be) but I'm going away this weekend and won't have my precious computer, so I really wanted to up date before I left.
Big thanks to all that reviewed on my 8th chapter, the strange, orange InuYasha, tamara moon, JadeElemental, mizurazame, and dumbbland83. Plus an extra BIG thanks to my newest reviewers, Inuyasha and elemental. Thanks for reviewing...it means a lot. Oh and If you're not reviewing please start...it really makes my day when I get a new review...and I don't care if you're a flamer, I want to know your honest opinion. But if you don't like my story please tell me why so I can make it better...
Oh...and before I forget...I got an email from someone off of fanfic telling me that my spelling could use some work. My reply to them is that I know that my spelling is really crappy...you don't have to tell me this. But I'll try to do better in that category...ok? But I can't make any promises...
Well that's all for now...I'll up date as soon as I can...see ya...
P.S. Please R&R!!!
