Chapter 5

"Wow!" said Inuyasha and Sango.

There were people playing and laughing in the water. The so-called "Pool" was humungous! It was bigger than a hot spring! Kikyo just stared, showing no emotion as usual.

"Now come on guys, its not that big of a deal!" Kagome said. Grandpa, Souta, and her mom agreed with her.

"It may not be a big deal to you, but this place is huge!"

"I totally agree with Inuyasha." Sango said nodding her head.

"Oh come on guys! As long as you can swim, it won't seem that big!" With that Kagome pushed Inuyasha into the water. Unfortunately he did a belly flop. "Well that's going to leave a scar-"

"AAAIIIIEEEEE!!!!!!!" Inuyasha hopped back out of the water screaming soaking wet.

"What's wrong Inuyasha? Afraid of water?" Kikyo and Kagome said looking him straight in the eye with creepy faces.

"Eh? NO! Of course not! The water is just too damn cold!"

"Is that really all Inuyasha?" The whole group got into it.

"Yes! Go see for yourself!"

Kagome went to go test out the water and shivered. "Sure Inuyasha! It isn't that cold! Its supposed to be like this, on a hot summer day like this, it would be better if it wasn't hot water!" They all laughed. At that moment, Kagome slipped and was about to fall in the water. Inuyasha caught her hand to help her but instead he fell in the water again instead of her. He came out looking very unhappy about it. They all laughed again.

"Oh yeah?!" Inuyasha said while splashing them with the water. The girls screamed as cold water ran down their backs.

"Okay Inuyasha..." said Kagome with soaked hair.

"...Now you die!" Sango finished as the both jumped in doing cannon balls and soaking Inuyasha to the bone. They started a whole big water fight. Grandpa went to the other side to relax and Kagome's mom went to a seat to tan. Souta joined in and Kikyo just sat there watching them.

"Hey Kikyo come join us! Its fun!" Kagome said waving to her. Sango and Souta were dunking Inuyasha.

"No... I would prefer not to join your childish games." Kikyo said turning her head away from Kagome.

"Its not childish!" Kagome looked at her and then said, "Hey! Are you listening to me?!" Kagome pulled Kikyo into the pool at that moment.

"AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!" Kikyo screamed once she came out the water. "Its freezing cold!" Kikyo said soaked.

"Well you just wouldn't listen." Kagome said shaking her head.

"Listen huh?!" Kikyo splashed Kagome with water getting it all in her mouth and up her nose. "I can hear you just fine."

"Not fair!" Kagome giggled. "Sneak attack!" She splashed Kikyo and they had a water fight of their own.

"Kagome! Kikyo!" The two turned and rest of the crew turned as well. Hojo was standing near the edge of the pool smiling. "What are you guys doing?"

Kikyo turned bright red. Luckily, Hojo was too dense to notice it. "OH! Uh nothing!" Kikyo answered.

"Really?" Hojo said showing his pearly whites. "Can I join you anyways?"

Kikyo slowly started sinking down into the water after turning beet red.

"Kikyo!" Kagome said freaking out. Hojo ran into the water and pulled her out. He then carried her over to where Kagome's mom was in the shade. Kagome followed him and the rest of the crew just stayed there and splashed all around.

"Kikyo?" Kikyo's eyes slowly started to open. "Are you alright?" Hojo was holding her in his arms staring at her. Her eyes shot open.

"Oh! Hojo! Ah what happened?!" She said.

"Oh nothing. You just fainted and almost drowned. No biggie."

"And what exactly is a biggie to you?!" Kikyo yelled.

"Hey, at least you wouldn't have died!" Kagome said.

"Of course she could've died! What are you talking about Kagome?!" Hojo said.

Oh yeah that's right... whoops! "Oh nothing really its just a joke in the family that she has nine lives. Nothing else. Eh heh heh heh..." A sweat drop was rolling down Kagome's face.

"Oh! Okay, I get it!" Hojo said with a smile.

Whew... He bought it. I almost made a huge commotion. Better be more careful.

It was later in the day and everyone was back at the house, even Hojo... Sango was in the tub, Souta was outside running through the sprinkler, Kikyo was helping Kagome prepare to make dinner while they were waiting for Kagome's mom to get back with the food. Grandpa was in the study reading, Inuyasha was upstairs going through Kagome's backpack for his precious Ramen, and Hojo was sitting outside watching Souta. It was all peaceful but it didn't last long.

"Kagome! Where is my Ramen?!" Inuyasha yelled thundering down the steps.

"Ramen?! You want to eat Ramen when we're going to prepare an actual dinner?!" Kagome screamed.

Inuyasha moved back a little from Kagome and said, "Yes..."

"Ugh!!!" Inuyasha ran and Kagome chased him all through the house. Inuyasha hid behind Kagome's grandfather.

"Save me please!" Inuyasha pleaded. Kagome came in with the scariest look on her face. Daggers were shooting from her eyes.

"YOU DON'T APPRICIATE ANYTHING!!!!!!!!" Kagome had gone off the deep end.

"Now now Kagome, what did he do that was so horrible?"

"I'm making dinner for him and he would rather have Ramen?!!!"

"Hmmm... Well the way you cook Kagome, I'd rather have Ramen too. I mean at least I know that I'll still be alive afterwards." Kagome's eyes seemed like they were on fire. She took a pencil in her hand and broke it. Then she charged at the both of them.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" They screamed as they were chased all over the house.

Sango suddenly came downstairs in a shirt that had stars on it and some shorts, which were both Kagome's.

"What's with all the noise?" Sango asked Kikyo.

"What noise?" Kikyo said. She had grown very accustomed to this racket.

"Hmm...." Sango turned and saw what was going on. "So he did something again huh? But what did her grandfather do?"

"All he said was, 'Well the way you cook Kagome, I'd rather have Ramen too. I mean at least I know that I'll still be alive afterwards.'"

"Oh... I see. So what are you guys cooking anyways? You need some help?"

"No, as soon as the girl's mom gets back, we'll make the food by ourselves." Kikyo looked at them running around and then said, "Actually maybe I will need your help."

It was dark outside and everyone was inside eating except Kagome. She had been sitting out there ever since she gave up on chasing after Inuyasha and Grandpa. She didn't help make the food and she didn't make Inuyasha Ramen either. She was just sitting there for about two good hours.

"That Inuyasha really pisses me off. I mean I was going to make him a really good meal but noo... He wants Ramen." Kagome sighed. "But I guess I can't expect him to change in a couple of days. They always say you can't teach old dogs new tricks. And how true that is. He's always like this. It makes me feel like he just wants to piss me off."

"That's not it at all."

Omg! Is that...?

Kagome turned around and there, was standing Inuyasha.

"AAAIIIEEEE!!!!!!" Kagome screamed falling off her steps.

"What?!?! Don't scream like that!"

"Oh! I'm sorry you just almost gave me a heart attack!"

"Do you really want to fight?! 'Cause I came out here to apologize!"

Kagome stopped. "Apologize?!?!?!?!" She blinked a couple of times, pointed to him and said, "You?!?!?!?!"

"Yeah..." Inuyasha sat down next to Kagome and looked at her. "I'm sorry for being a jerk again. I guess I'm just that way." He looked down at his hands. "I just... I don't know..." Inuyasha slapped himself in the head. "I guess I just let my guard down when I'm with you." Kagome blushed and so did Inuyasha. He was totally serious.

Come to think of it, he hasn't flirted with Kikyo this whole time. He's barely even looked at her! Could this mean that he does like me more than her?

"Inuyasha..." Inuyasha turned to see Kagome with her eyes closed and she slowly got closer to him. He closed his eyes and they were moving towards each other. They were 1 inch apart. Then 6 centimeters, and then 2 centimeters. Their breath was mingling when Inuyasha suddenly said, "Doesn't mean that I like your cooking better than Ramen..."

!!!!!SMACK!!!!!

"KAGOME!!!!!"

"!!!!!!SITTT!!!!!!"

Everyone in the house ran out to the porch to find what you could barely see of Inuyasha in the cement porch.

"Inuyasha you made her mad again didn't you."

"Ah... So that's how she controls him huh?"

"Um... What just happened?" Hojo said clueless as usual, "And where is Kagome?"

Sango, Kikyo, Kagome's mom, Grandpa, and Souta all looked at each other then looked at the well.

"So uh.. where is she? Shouldn't we go look for her?"

"No, I'm sure she'll be fine. She probably went to go stay with a friend. Don't worry about it. If you want, you can sleep here for the night." Grandpa said.

"Oh... sure thanks."

On the other side of the well in the feudal era is Kagome climbing out of the well.

"Man he makes me angry! How can he mess up a moment like that and just be mean?! It was such a perfect moment too! HE IS SUCH A DOG!!!!!"

"Ahhh... I take it you're talking about my little brother are you not?" a mysterious voice said out of nowhere.

Kagome looked up in a tree and found both Naraku and Sesshomaru.

"What?!" Kagome blacked out soon after.
