So Little They Know Chapter 10 Hoho's and Twinkies
Four days had gone by and there still was still no response from the well. Kagome had been checking every fifteen minutes of every day to see if it miraculously started working again. She had wanted to sleep outside where the the well was, but Kouga had insisted that if she do so the he should accompany her. That of course, made Inu-Yasha angry with Kouga for trying to seduce Kagome; which in turn prompted Shippo to want to protect her from both of the 'Psuedo-Miroku's. To make a long story short, three guys (two of which were deadly rivals) and one girl crammed in a tiny space just didn't work out.
After a while, Kagome was ready and willing for all of them to leave. It was one 'accident' and 'mishap' after another. For example, Shippo had consumed two bottles of her grandfather's Sake (seeing as how the other grown ups were doing it and he didn't want to be left out). The Kitsune was so drunk that he had stripped down to absolutely nothing and ran around outside screaming incoherent babble. But that wasn't the worst part. No. No it was not the worst part at all. Kouga, Kagome and Inu-Yasha had been running after him for thirty minutes and the only reason why they caught him was because of a stranger. Shippo had run right into a passer-by. Thankfully, the kind old man caught him before he could run off into the streets. Kagome had a rather hard time explaining Shippo's tail. She ended up just telling the elderly man that it was a halloween costume. The man just nodded slowly and proceeded to walk away, not making eye contact and certainly not looking back.
Then there was the time that Kouga had stuck a metal chop-stick in the electrical socket. He wanted to see if he could coax the 'lightening-demon' out so he could kill and eat it. It only ended up with singed fur, and an angry Kagome thankfully.
Inu-Yasha had done so many stupid things that it was hard to count. But one incident stood out in Kagome's mind. Inu-Yasha had heard the radio blaring in her room and had evidently gotten annoyed with the intensity of the volume, so he yanked it out of the wall and threw it into the bath tub. Sadly, Kouga was washing Shippo (who had gotten into something sticky that made his hair matt against him). This of course prompted Kouga to lunge out of the tub and grab a hold of Inu-Yasha's throat. Both of them tumbled, bit, clawed, chewed and rolled their way into Kagome's room; all of it ended with one "Sit!". Inu-Yasha sat and Kouga followed suit with Inu-Yasha on top of him.
Yes, it was totally understandable why Kagome was ready for them to leave. She was bieng driven insane.
Noticing her daugher sulking on the couch with her head cupped with her hands, Mrs. Higurashi approached her silently.
"Kagome? What's wrong honey?" Mrs. Higurashi asked, her arm draping comfortingly about her daughter. Kagome grumbled something about the boys intentionally trying to drive her mental. Her mother just stroked her hair and suggested that she go out for some 'Kagome-time'. The younger Higurashi looked up with a rejuvenated twinkle in her eyes.
"Yeah!" she exclaimed, "I need 'me-time'!" in a whirl of frenzied movement, Kagome grabbed her purse, put on her shoes and was out the door--
That is, of course, if Hojo hadn't been blocking her way.
