So Little They Know
Chapter 9
The Little People
Kagome rushed into the house, her face tinged pink not only with embarrassment from the previous ordeal of Inu-Yasha sticking feminine hygiene products in his ears, but having to power walk a good three blocks.
"Kagome!" her mother crowed cheerfully from the kitchen. "How did the boys like their first trip to the mall?" Kagome called back in her psuedo-happy voice that everything was great and they had a good time. She threw her purse down on a nearby table along with the boys' clothing and flopped onto the couch, her limbs draping over the sides in relaxation and comfort
Truth be told, she didn't know if Inu-Yasha's patience with Kouga was going to last too long. Between the death glares and the threats, the only thing those two did was fight. Her chest rose in exasperation then expelled a gentle wind in a soft 'whoosh'. She could already feel a headache coming on.
The slamming of the back door could be heard, closely followed by an "Oi! I'm hungry! Fix some Ramen!" a little vein made itself present on the side of Kagome's forehead. It pulsed and thrummed to the rhythm of her building anger. Inu-Yasha could at least 'pretend' to be a nice boy when he was around HER mother. But of course, that was too much to ask. No, he had to keep his I'm-tougher-than-thou look at all times. At least Kouga was trying to appear like a nice boy.
"That's a good idea Inu-Yasha! I'll make some ramen tonight!" Kagome shook her at her mother. How could she put up with such nonsense? Kagome grabbed the nearest remote, her mind already wandering to what channels would have anything good on. Her feet wandered onto the coffee table on their own accord. The tension of having to power walk a good three blocks seeped through her muscles and dispersed quietly as Kagome's mind began to blissfully wander as her fingers clicked the controls on the remote.
So absorbed into her quiet relaxation she never noticed Kouga walk up behind her, a small Kitsune in tow. His eyes wandered to the flashing box that had words coming out of it. Small humans were dancing around in skimpy out fits and screaming on the tops of their lungs.
"Kagome why are there little people in there?" Kouga asked. His voice trailed off as the little ones started to scream even more loudly. Shippo's grew large in realization. Those humans weren't dancing! THEY WERE CALLING FOR HELP!! He then leapt up in a fit of rage and roared out loud, "WE MUST SAVE THEM!!" before mauling the television set with his feeble fangs.
"Shippo, NO!" called but was too late. The fox demon had already sunk his teeth into the plastic casing in the back of the Television. Jolts of electricity rushed through his entire body, blue sparks reaching out from his fur as if they were fingers raising to the heavens. Kagome jumped up from the couch, her hands outstretched to tear him away from being electrocuted. Suddenly, she found her self being pulled down back onto the couch, Kouga's arms firmly clasped on her shoulders.
Before she knew it, chunks of wire, plastic, glass and other such debris were flying about the room. Kagome could only see flashes of Inu-Yasha's rusty sword as he hacked at the evil, magic box. Hacking and slashing he went, bits of metal whizzing about the room. Poor Shippo had been thrown off into a corner somewhere by Inu-Yasha's first attack. With a triumphant smirk, Inu-Yasha gave it one last stab before standing triumphantly where the television had once stood.
"My t.v…" Kagome whispered, tears clinging to her eye lashes. Not wanting to deal with any more lunacy, she hid her face in her hands. A warm hand squeezed her shoulder in a reassurance, it's heat seeping through her clothes and into her skin.
"I'm sorry Kagome…The little people are gone," Kouga's voice was gentle and soothing. Too bad it was wasted on the wrong event. How was she going to survive until she could get them back home?
Chapter 10 coming up tomorrow! Enter the love rival….HOJO-KUN!
Preview: "Hello! My name is Hojo, I'm a friend of Kagome's!" Kouga looked at his hand disdainfully, eyes narrowed in contempt. "Kagome? Why did his parents name him Hoho?" asked Shippo
