"I don't see why it matters," Kagome sighed, taking a sip of her tea at the kitchen. Actually, they weren't in the kitchen, they were in the living room. Same difference. "He's got a good job, and he has a nice personality. He's nervous today, but I'm sure you'll get along fine with him. And Inuyasha, vice versa. Right?"
"Hrm..." Inuyasha shrugged.
"Er..." Gramps was still surprised. "...Right, you have a good job. Sears, right? Sears is good. I like Sears. Do you do sports?" That was an extreme change of topic. Very sudden.
"Nope," Inuyasha said simply. "No one ever let me in sports."
"Oh," Gramps looked heart-broken.
"Wait, I played... Once..." Inuyasha lied along as he went. "...Ur... Horse... Racing... In America..."
"Really?" Inuyasha caught Gramps' attention. Gramps kind-of liked horses. He used to bet on horse-racing, though, and sometimes still watched the American races on TV.
"I was a sub..." Inuyasha thought of more. "...For, er..." Inuyasha looked at the newspaper next to him. "...Jeremy Rose... In New York..."
Gramps raised his eyebrows. Inuyasha practically just hit the wall; That was Gramps' favorite horse-racer.
"He was sick one day. And, I was his... Friend's... Cousin's... Sister's... Neighbor," Inuyasha nodded. Kagome slapped her hand to her head. Kagome's mom was very interested; She thought Inuyasha was serious! "I was the only one of George's Friend's Cousin's Sister's Neighbor that could ride a horse. But then... I ran into... A wall. The horse went crazy... Yeah. And I got a concussion...! I guess..." Inuyasha scratched his head. "...That's why it's hard for me to think about that."
"'George'?" Gramps blinked.
"That was... Rose's nickname. We called him George. I'm not sure why," Inuyasha explained.
"Did you unpack yet? No, you didn't unpack. I'll help you unpack. Come on," Kagome grabbed Inuaysha's hand, after bombing question after question, not leaving enough time to answer.
Inuyasha was following Kagome out of the living room, when Gramps stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"Emptying out Inuyasha's bags in my room. He'll be here for a while, after all," Kagome explained. "So, come on."
She dragged Inuyasha upstairs to her all-pink room, then set his bags down on the ground.
Inuyasha looked under her bed. Something white poked out of the bottom. "Hm?" Inuyasha grabbed it... A white lacy bra. A smirk crept apon Inuyasha's face, as he slipped the bra on.
Kagome turned around. Her face turned beet-red. "Inuyasha, take it off!" She screetched, just as Gramps walked past the outside, closed-door of her room. He sat by the door to listen.
"No way," Inuyasha laughed, jumping onto her pink bed. "I'm too lazy. You take it off."
"No, Inuyasha, take it off! You're stretching it!" Kagome jumped on the bed with Inuyasha, grabbing at the bra.
"Take it off," Inuyasha repeated.
"You!"
"You!"
Gramps, hearing enough, opened the door wide. "Ack!"
Inuyasha was on his stomach with Kagome's white bra on over his red kimono, Kagome lying on his back, grabbing at it, struggling to get the bra off.
"Oh, shit..." Inuyasha cussed, under his breath.
"...Eep." Kagome blinked.
-
"Gramps, what are you doing?" Kagome asked, as her grandpa was holding all of Inuyasha's bags, and carrying them down the small flight of stairs, from the top to the bottom, heading for the door.
"He's not sleeping here tonight, with you!" Gramps shook his head. "That won't do, at all."
"He can sleep in the basement!" Kagome cried.
"I'll sleep in the basement," Inuyasha suggested with a nod.
"You'll sleep in the hotel, down the street in down-town Tokyo," Gramps said. That was all there was to it.
"Okay," Inuyasha went along with it.
"You don't have to!" Kagome shook her head. She didn't want Inuyasha to be kicked out of the house, when Souta didn't even get to meet him yet!
"I will," Inuyasha nodded. He had a slightly pissed off expression, though he tried hard to hide it. And his tone of voice was a little... Well, there was no word to describe it, but it was pretty obvious that half of what he was saying was probably lies. "I want your Gramps to accept me, right? So I guess I'll do what he says, and sleep in the hotel..."
"Aw," Kagome's mom 'aw'ed.
"...But there's one thing I'd like to be clear..." Inuyasha added.
"Hmm?" Kagome's mom was so impressed with Inuyasha. She thought that he was just darling.
"...I'm not a cross-dresser! Just so you know!" Inuyasha exclaimed. Since Gramps walked in on Inuyasha and Kagome and saw him in Kagome's bra, he wasn't exactly sure what Gramps was thinking. Kagome shook her head. Kagome's mom had a blank expression on her face. Gramps wasn't sure what to think.
Right when Inuyasha said 'cross-dresser', Souta, Kagome's younger brother, walked in the door.
"Whoa, am I at the right house?" Souta blinked. He looked straight to Inuyasha. "Who's that? Burgler?"
"That's Kagome's boyfriend, Inuyasha!" Kagome's mom said cheerfully.
"Gramps, you know he's Hanyou, right?" Souta whispered to Gramps.
"Mmhmm... I knew that."
"I know you knew," Souta laughed. "I just wanted to see your face when you heard it again."
"So, Inuyasha, let's go!" Gramps grabbed Inuyasha's shoulder with one hand, and with the other, he carried some of Inuyasha's luggage. Inuyasha's carried the rest.
Inuyasha sighed very, very quietly to himself when he was being dragged off by his fiance's grandpa, thinking he was probably embarrassed to the max already. Nothing could get worse! He walked in on Inuyasha and Kagome when Inuyasha was jokingly wearing her bra... And also, he probably heard Kagome and Inuyasha's talking while they were in there, that probably sounded extremely nasty from the outside, with all the, 'you, take it off!'s... But, what he didn't know, was that things were about to get ten times more awkward once he and Gramps set off towards the Tokyo Hotel...
