Chapter Nine

Kagome looked at Inuyasha as he stupidly smacked at bushes with the harmless looking sword. "I wish you would stop doing that Inuyasha, that sword is supposed to be for other things, like saving a life"

Inuyasha snorted "Like this rusty old thing could save a life!"

"It transforms and then you can save a life with it!"

Like mine.

"Do you do drugs?, Crack maybe, how about meth?" Inuyasha asked with his arms crossed.

Kagome frowned "Shut up Inuyasha."

"Well do you? you sound like it, all these talks about a powerful sword, jewels you can make wishes on, and you must be spiking my water or something, because i keep seeing weird demons..."

"Oh yeah Inuyasha, that's it, you are on drugs, you guessed it! I've been spiking you water that's why you've been getting cuts and scares, and its exactly why you know have two VERY cute dog ears sitting on the top of your head!"

"They look like Cat ears."

"Give me a brake," Kagome said waving her hand annoyed, picking up her bag that had fallen to the ground "You still need to get me the jewel."

"I don't want to, if its as powerful as it seems, Maybe I want to become a demon." He said giving Kagome a coy look.

Her eye's narrowed dramatically, and she pointed at him "That isn't funny, you are not allowed to become a full demon, I won't allow it."

He snorted "What are you going to do about it?" he demanded "it's in my possession."

"I'll just get it from you." She said simply.

He rolled his eyes "Feh, how do you plan on doing that wench?"

"You'll see Inuyasha." She smiled at him weirdly, and turned around marching off.

"Hey!" Inuyasha called running after her "Where are you going?"

"I'm going home, I have to study."

"You can't go home!" He exclaimed.

She pulled her arm away from his hand "And why not?" she demanded, her hands resting on her very slim hips.

Inuyasha blushed "Um... because..."

She rolled her eyes "I don't have all DAY!"

"Because... um... because how do I know if you are not going to my house to steal the jewel?" He demanded with a smart look.

"Well if you are so worried about it, walk me home!"

"But it's so far away."

"Then live in the horror of not knowing." She said and started walking away again, but she heard Inuyasha walking slightly behind her, she rolled her eye's.

Some things never change...

Kagome sighed, and smiled sadly as she walked, her head down and her bang's falling into her eye's.

"What wrong?" Inuyasha asked loudly from behind her.

Startled she jumped out of her thoughts "Ugh, What are you doing?" she demanded "I thought you weren't going to fallow me?" She said pretending like she hadn't known he was there.

"Changed my mind, I don't want to have to explain the huge mess in the study anyway..." He mumbled cocking his head to the side looking at her as if daring her to question what he had just said.

Kagome shrugged and smiled "Okay."

Inuyasha fell into step beside her, and watched her as she got lost in her thoughts again.

-----

Kagome walked into the warmth of her house, she had invited Inuyasha in, but he refused, claiming he didn't want her family mistaking him as her friend or something different.

"I'm home!" she called cheerfully, but received no answer, she walked into the fridge and there was a note on the door, no on would be home until about seven PM, and there was dinner in the fridge.

She mumbled under her breathe about never being included in anyone's plans, and made herself something to eat, and the time ticked by slowly.

about 6pm a large smashing sound, sounded in the back yard, Kagome peered into the darkness, and frowned wondering if her cat was okay.

She put on her shoe's and walked outside, very little light in the yard. Why aren't the porch lights working, ugh I'm starting to feel like I'm in a horror movie

"Boyu!" She called out, but the sound of her cat never came. "Where are you boy?" She called but still no cat showed up.

She sighed annoyed and whirled around and ran right into someone and fell over.

"Sesshomaru!" Kagome exclaimed shocked.

He stood tall over her, his eye's glinted darkly, "What have you done?" He snarled, his sword was drawn, and pointed to her neck, barely touching.
