Summary: Inuyasha's life in high school. Story is better than the sucky summary says.
Chapter 8
Kagome was just about to call the police when Inuyasha and Sesshomaru came back. They had been missing for two hours and it was already 8:00. Sango and Miroku had come back to the house a few minutes after Koga and Kagome did. The minute the two brothers walked in, Kagome hugged Inuyasha tightly, then Sesshomaru.
"I was worried about you guys!" She cried. "Where the hell were you! And what are in those bags!"
"You see," Inuyasha began. "they were having a half off sale at Target, so we ran home, got our wallets, and got all the cool crap we could buy." He put down the bags he carried, reached into one, and pulled something out. "When we were walking by this shrine in the park, I saw this and I thought you might like it."
Smiling, Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand and placed something in her palm. It was a red stone that blazed like fire.
Kagome's eyes widen at the sight of the crimson colored stone and how it shined like the sun. "Oh, Inuyasha...It's beautiful. What the hell is it?"
"It's called a love stone. It's supposed to show how much one person loves another."
"How exactly does it work?"
"When one person give a love stone to another person, the stone shines brightly if the giver loves the receiver a lot, but glows dimly or not at all if the giver doesn't love the receiver that much. The shrine priest said that hundreds of years ago, a solider fell in love with a beautiful princess. One day, the princess fell ill and all the solider could do was pray, but that didn't work. After many days of praying, he decided to give the princess he favorite stone. It gave him strength in battle and gave him comfort when he was far from home. He thought since it gave him strength, it would give the princess strength. He gave the stone to the princess and she got better day by day, comforted by the bright glow and warmth of the stone, until one day they got married."
"That was such a sweet story."
"Well...a couple of days after their wedding, the solider learned the princess was cheating on him with his brother, so they got a divorce. Shortly after their divorce, the solider died from being hit by lightning and the princess drowned when her ex-husband's brother pushed her into a raging river so he could inherit her money and stuff."
Kagome's eyes went wide. "Holy crap!"
"I know, but I'm sure you'd never cheat on me and if you did...I'd kill you." Inuyasha said the last three words in a harsh, low voice.
"I just love it, Inuyasha." Kagome wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck. "Thank you so much."
Inuyasha returned the hug and smiled triumphantly when he saw Koga looking as mad as hell as he watched the two hug.
"Are you guys done expressing your love yet?" Sesshomaru asked. "I didn't buy The Grudge just for the hell of it."
"You got The Grudge!" Kagome asked. "Alright! Let's watch it! But first let's get into our PJs."
"Hurry up, you stupid popcorn." Inuyasha said, watching the popcorn slowly pop in the microwave. "I wanna watch The Grudge and I wanna watch right now!"
"Be patient, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said, looking through the fridge for something to drink. "After all, it's popping faster than the gears in your brain are turning."
"Screw you!"
"Is the popcorn ready yet?" Sango called impatiently.
"Not yet."
"Damn!"
"I wish this son of a bitching popcorn would pop faster."
Suddenly, the popcorn finished popping.
Sesshomaru looked over at Inuyasha. "Well, I guess you got your wish. Damn, there's no Pepsi."
Kagome walked into the kitchen, trying to open a big bag of chips.
"Could one of you help me get this bag open?" She asked.
"Sure, Kagome." Inuyasha walked over to Kagome, took the patato chip bag from her, opened it with ease, and handed it back to Kagome. "There you go!"
"How were you able to do that so easily!"
Inuyasha flexed the muscles on his arm. "Cuz I work out."
Sesshomaru squeezed Inuyasha's flexed arm slightly. "That's just baby fat you need to get rid of."
"Shut up, Sesshomaru!"
"I will when the movie starts." Sesshomaru left the kitchen, dissappointed that he couldn't find any Pepsi.
"Inuyasha! Kagome!" Miroku called. "We're gonna start the movie whether your asses are on the couch or not! Five...four...three..."
Inuyasha and Kagome scrambled to the living room, then Inuyasha returned to the kitchen after he realized he forgot the popcorn, and came back into the living room.
"This movie isn't so scary." Koga said for the third time.
"Shut the hell up!" Inuyasha whispered, glaring at Koga.
Koga returned the glare, then set his gaze back to the movie. 'Looks like something scary's about to happen. Now would be a pretty good time to put my arm around Kagome's shoulders.' But just as Koga was about to do that, he noticed Inuyasha already had his arm around Kagome's shoulders. 'Damn that mutt face!'
Miroku smiled to himself when Sango screamed and threw her arms around him, burying her face into his chest so she wouldn't be able to see what happened next on The Grudge.
"That's gross!" Inuyasha said. "Those detective dudes found that girl's jaw in the attic! That's nasty!"
"Well, so is your breath, but you don't hear me complaining." Sesshomaru said.
"Hey!"
"Be quiet! Me and Rerenwind are trying to watch the movie!" Sota yelled.
Everybody looked at Sota, then at Kagome, expecting her to tell him to leave, which she did.
"Sota!" She yelled, standing up. "You shouldn't be watching this! You're too young! Now go to bed or I'll make you sleep outside again!"
"Mom! Kagome won't let me and Rerenwind watch The Grudge with her and her friends!"
"Kagome, be nice to your little brother!" Mrs. Higurashi yelled from upstairs.
Kagome sighed. "Oh, alright. You can watch the movie with us, but if you scream once, it's straight to bed for you."
"Yay!" Sota plopped down of the couch in between Koga and Kagome, making Koga even more gloomy than he already was.
'Oh great.' He thought. 'Kagome's little brother has now totally ruined my chances of getting close to Kagome. I'll have to think of something else. I'll kick Plan B into action. Wait a minute. This was Plan B. I guess I'll have to try Plan C, then.'
When The Grudge was over, Kagome forced Sota to go to bed and prepared the living room, giving it the best ghost story atmosphere she could."Alright! Scary story time!" Miroku cheered.
"Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, sitting down next to Sesshomaru, placing Kilala on her other side so Koga wouldn't try anything funny again.
"He's in the bathroom." Sesshomaru said.
"Oh."
The sound of the toilet flushing was heard and a few seconds later, Inuyasha walked out of the bathroom and joined the others.
"That was good..." He sighed happily.
"Did anything happen to you in the bathroom, Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
"Nah. I just saw this girl with black hair, snow white skin, and red eyes in the mirror. She was all covered in blood and God, she was rude. I was all like, 'You need a band aid?' and she said, 'I'm going to kill you all!'"
"Oh, my God! Do you know who that was, Inuyasha!"
"No. Who?"
"Bloody Mary!"
Inuyasha stared at Sango for almost a minute, his golden eyes wide. "...Nuh uh."
"Uh huh."
Inuyasha's eyes grew wider. "...Nuh uh."
"Uh huh."
Inuyasha's eye grew even wider. "...Nuh uh."
"Uh huh."
"Before Inuyasha's eyes grow any wider, I'll go check it out." Sesshomaru said, standing up.
"Be careful, Sesshomaru." Koga said, looking as though he didn't care, but he pulled out it switchblade and tossed it over to Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru knew that if this really was Bloody Mary, a switchblade couldn't hurt her, but took it anyway.
He slowly opened the bathroom door and let the light of the hallway light up the bathroom slightly. "Bloody Mary, if you're in here..." He pressed the button and the blade came out. "...I'll kill you."
"Kill..." A mystrious feminine voice said from where the mirror was.
Sesshomaru walked up to the mirror and gazed into it. "If you don't show yourself, I'll make you show yourself.
Suddenly, the same woman that Inuyasha described appeared in the mirror.
"Kill..." She said, her red irises glowing slightly.
"That doesn't scare me." Sesshomaru forced the blade to retract and placed it on one side of the sink before clenching his fists and slamming them into the mirror.
Bloody Mary screamed as the pieces of the mirror fell to the floor, then the sound faded until it was heard no more.
"That was too easy." Sesshomaru began to walk out of the bathroom, forgeting the pieces of the mirror were still on the ground. "Ouch! Stupid mirror. Hey, could somebody get this glass out of my feet?"
"And then Lady finally killed Tramp after she found out he was cheating on her with Lassie. The end." Inuyasha waited for someone to comment his story. "Why aren't you guys scared!"
"Your story sucked!" Koga said, then reached into the popcorn bowl sitting in his lap and threw some at Inuyasha.
Mrs. Higurashi came in and turned on the lights. "You kids better get to bed. It's almost midnight."
"Oh, alright." Kagome said as she stood up and headed to her room with Sango and Kilala following her.
The boys got into their sleeping bags.
"Good night, boys." Mrs. Higurashi smiled at them and turned the lights off before leaving the room.
"Good night, Mrs. Higurashi." The boys said in unison.
"Inuyasha, do us all a favor and don't talk in your sleep like you usually do." Sesshomaru said, looking over at his little brother.
"I do not talk in my sleep!" Inuyasha said.
Snore.
"Kill all Earthlings!"
Snore.
"Kill all aliens!"
Snore.
"Kill all teachers!"
Snore.
"Kill my friends!"
Snore.
"Kill my brother!"
Koga, Sesshomaru, and Miroku were huddled together in one corner of the living room away from Inuyasha. Even though Inuyasha was just talking in his sleep, they were still freaked out. Even Sesshomaru, but he hardly showed it.
Inuyasha's eyes opened slowly and he sat up.
The three huddled in the corner tried to scoot away from him some more, but the wall prevented them from doing so.
"What are you guys doing in the corner?" Inuyasha asked groggily, rubbing his eyes.
"Uh...We were just watching out for Sota's spider." Miroku said. "It got out."
"Oh crap!" Inuyasha got up quickly and ran to Kagome's room.
Kagome, Sango, and Kilala were fast asleep, dreaming of God knows what.
Inuyasha quietly walked towards the bed, careful not to step on Sango or Kilala.
"Kagome?" He whispered, making sure she was asleep. He began to shake her slightly when she didn't respond. "Kagome?"
"What is it?" Kagome asked, her eyes half opened.
"Sota's spider got out and I had a bad dream. I dreamnt I got killed by midgets while they were singing the lollipop song. Can I sleep with you?"
Kagome blushed, but said, "Sure." She moved over and lifted the covers so Inuyasha could get in.
Inuyasha smiled and rubbed his face into Kagome's pillow as she pulled the covers over him.
"Comfy?" Kagome asked.
"Not just yet." Inuyasha turned over so that he was facing Kagome and wrapped his arms around her. "NOW I'm comfy." Inuyasha's smile grew bigger.
On the nightstand, the love stone glown bright red, but it wasn't bright enough to blind anyone. A warm, comforting aura emitted from it, spreading throughout the room and making everyone more comfortable.
Sweet chapter, huh? (Chuckles.) Koga doesn't even know Inuyasha's sleeping with Kagome. And remember, every chapter you read, you're somehow helping out the poor.
