Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale or the cast of it.



A.N. First off, I want to apologize for my grammar and spelling on the previous chapters;


both of which were horrible. After I re-read it (and was not in a rush), the story sounded


kind of like I wasn't totally with the program on as to what my native language is


supposed to sound like. Once again, I apologize, expect more of an effort on that area.



THANKS FOR REVIEWING!! It really drives me to write more J





So Little They Know


Chapter 4


Beds and Floor



As Kagome clunked her way up the stairs, she could feel Inu-Yasha's hot stare drive into


her back. 'Well what does he expect?' she thought to herself 'It's not like he's ever really


been actually considerate to me and yet he thinks I should be fawning on him. I mean


really, he's still on Kikyo and the only reason why he might have any feelings for me


would be because I'm her...sorta...,'. So engrossed in her thoughts, Kagome failed to take


notice that Shippo was still at the head of the stairs. With a loud 'THWAK!', she


rammed right into the little one, her legs becoming tangled with themselves. Lashed out


about her face as she began to fall forward. In an attempt to alleviate injury, she braced


herself and squeezed her eyes shut; all to no avail. Before she could really notice that


there was any movement, Kouga had rushed forward, snaked one arm around her waist


and the other around her chest, his hand on her collar bone. Naturally, the face of


Kagome had turned to crispy-critter-red (or sun burnt maroon, either work).


"That's MY job ass-hole!" an enraged Inu-Yasha yelled out. He was now crawling


up the stairs, propelling himself with the leverage that his chin and jaws provided.


"You're just jealous Inu-Yasha. You wanted to grab Kagome's--" Shippo started


out, only to have a certain wolf-demon's foot right over his head, but not so heavy that it


would hurt the creature. How was he going to win Kagome's total affection if he did


that? Kouga then gently laid Kagome across his shoulders, making sure that she was


comfy before inquiring where she wanted to go.


"Um, in front of that door then," she replied, pointing to her room. Kouga then


slowly walked over to the door, VERY much to the disgust of Inu-Yasha who was still


confined by his body mesh.


"You better not be thinking of anything perverted you freak of nature!" Kouga


just rolled his green eyes at that particular 'insult' while putting Kagome down gently.


She then thanked him for his act and went into her room hastily; only to come right back


out again with her pajamas slung over her forearm. Before retreating into the bath-room,


she gave Kouga a huge grin and told him to look around the house and get something to


eat if he was hungry while she took a shower. Upon hearing the soft click the door made


upon shutting, the wolf-demon-youth did precisely as directed too and pursued his


investigation of Kagome's room. The little quarter was lit up with a cheery light from a


strangely lit lamp. Curious as to how it worked, he removed the covering of the light,


only to be blinded by a miniature sun that was captured in glass. Kouga then quickly


covered it up in fear for his eye sight. "The things of this strange place!" he announced


upon putting back the 'sun-shade'.


"What?" Shippo asked as he came bounding into the room.


"This contraption has a sun in it!" Kouga exclaimed.


"Kagome calls it a 'lamb-puh'."


"Strange."


"You should see her pens!" the little boy cried out enthusiastically as he pointed


to the tampon covered floor. "Well, both Kagome and her mother say they aren't pens,


but I don't know what else they could be," Shippo testified as he scratched behind his ear


in bewilderment. Kouga then sat down next to the Kitsune and replied, "Looks like we'll


have to figure out what they are for then,". He then reached over and picked one up that


hadn't been touched by Shippo. Fingering the contraption about, he accidentally pushed


the applicator down and the cotton stuffing popped out. 'This place is weird' though


Kouga as sniffed the very strange domed shaped thing. He looked over to Shippo to find


him chewing on the cotton dome. Kouga screwed his face to resemble a mixture of


confusion and knowing before saying "I don't think you're supposed to eat it,". Shippo


then took it out of his mouth and stared intently at it. If it wasn't a pen, paint-brush, or


any type of writing utensil, then what was it? The Kitsune was still staring at it with a


vengeance when Kouga decided to get up and walk around. Upon coming to the stairs, he


found an exhausted Inu-Yasha gripping the top stair with his mouth.


"Here, let me cut this off so you don't embarrass my mate as much," he said


while bending over to cut the mesh in a single slice of his claw.


"She isn't your mate!!" Inu-Yasha cried out in anger. This action turned out to be


a very poorly judged one for as soon as Kouga jerked his hand through the screen, Inu---


Yasha went sliding down the staircase like a sled. "She isn't my mate...yet," a lightly


bounding Kouga corrected as he met Inu-Yasha on the bottom of the stair case. The half


demon then jumped up in excitement, only to come crashing right down again; his legs


were still trying to receive blood flow on account that they had been chocked of it from


the tightly wrapped.


"Now that I think of it Inu-Yasha, you couldn't possibly take care of Kagome as


well as I can because you have a hard time getting out of netting none the less a real


fight! Now if that isn't the perfect example of how worthless a piece of dog-turd is, then


there is none!" a happy Kouga exclaimed at his findings. Inu-Yasha just 'humphed!' and


replied without looking directly at the menace before him 'That has nothing to do with


it!'. The green-eyed wolf demon just shrugged his shoulders, and went back up the stairs


to check on Kagome. He then made his way to the room that he could hear water coming


out of. This of course was an astonishment for him. Whoever thought that water could


come into the house? Afraid he would make Kagome angry with him, Kouga opted to


knock on the door instead of opening it to check on her.


"You okay in there?" he called out while drumming his knuckled against the


wood portal. A muffled "Yeah! I'll be out in a little bit," sounded his ears to his


satisfaction. Nodding his head in approval, Kouga made his way back into her room, only


to find that Shippo had stuffed his ears with the cotton-balls with strings.


"I found out what they're used for! They're ear plugs!" the little boy exclaimed.


Kouga picked up one of the many used string cotton balls to examine for further


investigation. "I think you're right!" he answered after much deliberation. Shippo simply


beamed at his find. Looking up, the wolf-youth found a strange spell book that was lay


open. The strange text was all very fine and very exact; who's ever hand had written that


enormous thing must have fallen off after creating it. Kouga then flipped through the


pages, taking note of the very well done paintings. With a sudden yelp of horror, Kouga


stumbled backwards and landed on his backside with a loud 'BANG!' at what he saw.


Two people were very much unclad and every inch of them was drawn with the utmost


care. "That's a...that's a...that's a...!" was all Kouga could stammer out. A sudden


'whoosh' was heard as Kagome swept into wrapped in a towel that covered her barely,


leaving her left thigh open to view. "What happened?! I heard a loud BANG from the


shower and came rushing up. Whose hurt?" she chattered as she came into the room, only


to ram right into the room, oblivious the little fox-child who had tampons stuck in his


ears. Upon her impact, Kagome lost hold of the front portion of her towel and gave a


loud "Eeeeee!" that sounded all throughout the house. The soft material fluttered out of


her grasp, allowing her to flash the two people in the room. Kouga promptly stood right


in front of her so that she could have some cover. Being the gentlemen that he was,


Kouga refused to look down at her; this of course was noticed by Kagome. However, as


Inu-Yasha came dashing into the room, he only saw an almost naked Kagome ready to be


almost ravished. "Bastard!" he shouted, his black hair swirling about him from dashing


up the stairs.


"Since when could you turn into a human!?" Kouga shouted back.


"Since when were you a PERVERT!"


"Inu-Yasha!! SIT!!!" a large 'WHUMP!' could be heard all through the house.


Thankfully, through this entire interlude, Mrs. Higurashi had chosen to work on


Kagome's bike out doors, so she didn't hear a thing. Being quite mortified, Kagome


rushed back into the bathroom, but not before telling Inu-Yasha to stay put and for Kouga


to not tempt Inu-Yasha. From the floor, Inu-Yasha managed to mumble out, "Why is it


always MY fault?" before succumbing to the floor.
