Oi! I'm back with another chapter! Yea, yea…. I know! I haven't updated for some time! I've got this thing that once I start writing in the SUMMER, It gets forgotten along with schoolwork. So you get me on that, don't you? I'm still writing just not as extreme as before! I DON'T OWN INUYASHA! Read and enjoy!)
SongsChapter 5: Rides Can Hurt or Make You Famous!
"It's not so bad, InuYasha! It's just a ride." Kagome pulled him into line for the Vortex and he was putting up a hell of a fight.
"No! Come one, Kagome! Why do have to make me?" he whine and tried to pry her hands of his arm.
"Please!" she cried and put on a pouty face, lip and all. He sighed and rolled his eyes, stopping his struggling.
"Fine…" he almost whispered.
"What?" she asked, smirking evilly.
"Fine!" he growled and she let out a squeal of delight.
"Great! Let's go. We don't want to be standing in line to long. Drop Zone might get to long." Grabbing his hand, she pulled him through the house like walk way and down the stairs to the okay line. "Not to crowded, but not hop right in easy! Perfect!" she said and pulled him to the last rows of seats in the back where two other people were in front of them.
"The back?" he asked, lifting an eyebrow and tried to push away the butterflies in his stomach. He felt helpless in roller coasters. Being strapped into a machine wasn't the top thing on his to do list.
"Yea. It gets the best air. Makes you feel like you're in higher longer the it is." He could have fainted.
"And how many loops are there?"
"I'm not sure. I think like four or five along with one maybe two cork screws," she said and taped her finger on her chin in though. "Well, if you don't like this one to much, we can go and ride The Beast. It doesn't have any loops, but some good hills. And it's the longest wooden roller coast around. (They aren't in America so… You know what I mean. It really is the longest in the US though! I like… It's like 5 minutes and something seconds… It's fun just bumpy. Bruises anyone?) Sound good to you?"
"Maybe…"
"We can see the first hill for it from the top one on this ride. It's just a bit higher the The Beast's one." Suddenly the next line of cars came to a halt and people got out, grabbing things they couldn't take on the ride. Kagome pulled her backpack off and threw it over against the wall and plopped down in a seat. InuYasha sat down and nervously brought the black padded bars down over his head. Kagome leaned forward as far as she could and peeked over at him best she could with a small smile on her face. "Don't worry, Inu. It's gonna be fun!" She took his hand in hers and gave it a quick squeeze. He gave her a small smile too and leaned back against his seat, but Kagome stayed leaning forward.
"Why are you doing that? Don't they say to lean back?" he asked.
"It bangs my ears up really bad if I do. But you really don't have to worry about that. They're kind of on top of you head so… Heh!" A man came down the row of cars, yanking on the bars and stopped at his, giving the person behind a glass window the thumbs up. The car jerks forward and slowly made it's way to the top of the hill. "Look, InuYasha! There's The Beast! And isn't it pretty to see everything from up here?" Kagome said and point out.
"Y-yea…" She gave his hand another squeeze and let go, holding they both up over her head. The clink of the car coming of its puller and it dropped a few feet making him yelp, but it continued forward a little. He sighed in relief, but it was quickly cut off as the car dropped and he let out a yell. Kagome was laughing like crazy and screaming just for the fun of it as they neared a loop. It started going around and Inu closed his eyes, but that really didn't help at all.
"Open your eyes, InuYasha!" Kagome called out. He cracked one open just as they went around the corkscrew. With another sudden jerk, they started up the second hill and he laughed. It wasn't that bad. Kagome peeked over at him and smile brightly to see him happy. "It's not that bad is it?"
"No-" But he was cut of as the cars went down the hill again.
"Camera!" she yelled and pointed it out. Without even thinking, he grabbed her hand and laced his fingers in-between hers, sticking his tongue out and holding their hands up. She let out a squeal and gripped his hand tightly as they went through the final corkscrew. The car jerk to a stop and Kagome let out a big sigh. "That was fun…!" Inu could see her frizzled hair and slightly reddened cheeks from the wind and smiled.
"Yea."
"And you were scared… See! I was right!" she jested and pulled her hand from his as they went forward. The bars popped up and they climbed out. With a giggle, Kagome grabbed her bag and looked back at InuYasha as he shook his head. "Dizzy?" He nodded his head and stumbled forward. She took his hand again and pulled him after her. "Since you can't seem to walk by yourself. Now lets go find our picture!" They went up to the booth with the pictures coming up on the computer screens. "There's ours! I want a copy! Do you?" she asked and looked up at him.
"Why not, but I don't have any-" She didn't give him a chance to finish by handing the cashier some money.
"Two copies please." The boy handed they two her with a wink and she blushed. InuYasha growled and pulled her away.
"Stupid bastard. Just like at the mall…" he grumbled and pulled her down onto a bench.
"Here," she said and held out a picture for him. He took it and gazed at it with soft eyes. This was his first real time being out for fun. He'd never had any real friends and never really had any money or time to go out on his own. In the picture Kagome was giving the peace sign and holding his hand why'll he stuck out his tongue. Said girl gave a sudden giggle and he looked over at her. She stared down at the picture with the pure look of happiness. "Is this the only thing you could think off at the moment? It is cute though." She caught his gaze and her smile widened.
"At least it's not that old traditional thing. Mines original!" She snorted and playfully shoved his arm, jumping up.
"Sure, puppy boy!" He came after her and poked her side, sending her into a short burst of giggles.
"Puppy!" She backed away from him with a grin and covered her side with her arms.
"Yes. You're such a cute little puppy!" she cooed and laughed. He slanted his eyes and lifted an eyebrow.
"I am the farthest thing from a puppy! A puppy wouldn't do this!" And he pulled her hands away, tickling her senseless.
"S-stop, InuYasha! We've gotta go on some more rides!" He stopped and she took in a few deep breaths, giving him little playful glares. She smoothed her hair down a little and shook her head.
"Fine, fine. You're not a puppy. Not to other people I mean. You're still my puppy!" He blushed and tried to cover it by turning his back to her, but she saw anyway. "Oh! Did I embarrass Mr. Tough Guy? Ha, ha, ha! Let's go! The line might get to long!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him through the crowds.
"And he landed in her lap! Oh! That's priceless! What'd she do to him after that?" Kagome slurped on her milkshake as she listened to InuYasha let his story about Miroku's dreaded landing with Ayame.
"She kicked him in the nuts. It was so funny!" She laughed and leaned back in her seat, looking up at the ceiling of the restaurant. She was having such a good time with InuYasha. She'd never really gone out with a boy. Sure her mama was around her somewhere, but for now it was just the two of them. Alone together. When anything could happen. Anything! She mentally cringed. He wasn't that kind of person.
"Higurashi!" She looked over to see a huge group of people running up with cameras and notebooks. She blinked and groaned. They were never going to give her a break were they…? She got up and InuYasha gave her a weird look.
"What's wrong?" he asked as she tossed her cup away. She grabbed his hand, pulled him up from his seat, and pulled him away from the restaurant. She saw him twitch his ears and his face fell a little. "Oh… God! Don't they know how to leave people alone!" She giggled and pulled him into the Racer line.
"Apparently not."
"Which on are we going on?" he asked looking around.
"Backwards. The forwards one crushes you're legs. It's happened to me before." He winced and nodded his head.
"Ouch. That had to have hurt bad." With a quick glance, she noticed how carefree he was. He usually looked draw in, mad, and had a scowl on his face all the time. But now he was happy, smiling, and laughing. He had to take him out again sometime. The line went fast and soon they were sitting in the front car facing the opposite direction the ride was going to go. Next to them was the opposite line of cars that were going to be 'racing' them. Before they knew it the cars were taking off at a fast speed and a faint drizzle of rain had just started to come down. Kagome laughed and held her hands over her head, feeling the drop pelt down on them. Suddenly they hit a bump and she bounced up, causing the bar to tighten. She gasped and gripped her hands around the bar across her legs. It was going down to far! Another bump and it tightened even more. She let out a cry of pain and tried to pull it up a little more.
"I-InuYasha! It's crushing me!" she cried out. She closed her eyes and pulled on the bar hard. Suddenly InuYasha's hands were next to hers, pulling up too. The cars went over one last hill and she bumped up again, making it go down even farther. She felt tears sting in her eyes and she gasped as her own fingers were being pushed into her skin.
"Hold on, Kagome!" The car stopped and InuYasha yelled out something, but she wasn't listening. The pain was too much. Suddenly the bar came up and she could have cried in relief if hadn't been crying already. Arms came under her knees and behind her back, lifting her up and holding her to a warm chest. She opened her eyes to InuYasha's sliver hair and sighed. He was taking care of her. She didn't need to worry… She closed her eyes again and leaned her head against his shoulder. There was a bunch of yells and suddenly she was taken from his arms. She gasped and reached out to him, grabbing his hand, but it slipped away.
"InuYasha!"
"It's just some minor fractures, some bad bruises, and of course the major bone we had to push back in place, but she should be fine in some time and a some exercises. No strain on her legs either. That means no walking for quite some time." InuYasha sat there stunned as the doctor spoke to Mrs. H. She was hurt. And he'd been right next to her, unable to help her! It was his fault…
"InuYasha." He looked up at Mrs. H and Sota's worried faces. "We can go and see her now, but only for a little. She has to stay here for about a week for observation." He nodded and got up, following them into the room. Kagome sat on the edge of the edge of her bed in one of those hospital dresses rubbing her legs with an annoyed look on her face.
"Kagome?" Mrs. H said and Kagome looked up.
"Mama! Do I really have to stay here over night?" she asked and pouted.
"Yes, dear. They need to make sure that there's nothing else wrong with your legs."
"I'm not stupid, mama… I just thought that maybe you could get me out of this. You know I hate hospitals. To many sick people."
"Well, you'll just have to deal with it for now. I'll be going out to the car now. Let you two have a little alone time to talk, hmm?" she said and pulled Sota out with her. InuYasha look over at Kagome and blushed. She might not be in the most attractive thing ever, but he liked it. In the whole wrong way! Last night must have done something to him…! And he felt it.
"I want to thank you for before," she said quietly and fiddled with the edge of her kind of dress.
"It wasn't anything. I was just trying to help. I'd have done it for anybody." He could have smacked himself. Why did he say that! Now she was going to think he'd just done it because she was right next to him!
"Oh… Still, thanks… Maybe you should go home now. So your foster mother doesn't get mad," she said and kept avoiding his gaze. His heart gave a painful throb and his ears seemed to lose some of their normal perk.
"I-I was going to see if I could stay with you, but if you put it that way I guess I'd better," he said.
"You wanted to stay?" She looked up with tear brimmed eyes, but quickly blinked them away.
"Yea. I kind of feel responsible for what happened to you." She sniffed and rubbed her eyes making his heart give another painful throb. "Are you okay, Kagome?" Suddenly she pushed herself off the bed and she stumbled forward. As a reflex he jumped forward and caught her. "Why did you do that!" he growled and held her up. She looked up at him and a single tear slipped down her cheek.
"I thought you'd do it for anybody." He swallowed and felt his pants grow tight. She was breath taking. Beautiful.
"No. Just you…" he murmured and pulled her into an embrace. She laughed half sobbed into his shoulder.
"Thank you!" He rubbed her back and smiled gently. He only wanted her to give him these feelings. Only Kagome.
"Stop saying that. I don't really deserve that." She pulled away with a sniff and wiped her eyes.
"You do to. You saved me, mister! And I can't wait to see what kind of ad they put newspaper!" she said with a slight giggle. His eyes went wide. Newspaper! If they put an ad in his mother would find out where he'd been! And then he'd get it…! His ears flattened out against his skull and he groaned. More pain… He couldn't take this much longer! "What's wrong, InuYasha?" Kagome asked and held onto his arm for support.
"Nothing. Just thought about going back to school…" he said and put a disgusted look on his face. She frowned a little, tilting her head to the side a little, and replaced her frown with a smirk.
"You might get your own fan club, buddy."
"What!" She laughed and hobbled back over to the bed.
"You might get your own fan club! You'll be famous around school because you helped me!" Him! Famous! He was the farthest thing from it! He was a hanyou! Everyone hates hanyous… Why would he get anyone to like him? They'd just talk about him behind his back and use his as a personal slave of types. He wasn't that desperate for a friend. Kagome was enough for him. But why hadn't she noticed. Why hadn't she thrown him aside once she got another friend? Did she care that he was a hanyou? He had to ask her. Even if it hurt.
"I doubt that…" he said quietly and sat down on a chair. She blinked.
"Why? Your cute enough to be called a pretty boy by some girls." His face went red and he looked down at the ground.
"B-but haven't you noticed?"
"Noticed what?"
"That everyone gives me nasty looks or ignores me. Most people hate me. Why you?"
"Is it because of-"
"I'm a hanyou? Yea. Don't you care?"
"No! I don't care who you are! You're my first friend here and you're going to stay my friend. Unless we kick it up a level…" she said looking around the room. It felt like his face was on fire again. D-did she just really ask him that! What should he say! But what if it was a joke! He could have screamed in frustration! What was he supposed do! He opened his mouth to speak, but fate had other plans…
"INUYASHA!" The door burst open and his foster mother stood in the doorway panting. The red headed woman looked at Kagome in amazement and then smiled. "I'm so glad you are all right, dear," she said, her voice dripping with sweetness. She cantered over InuYasha and pulled him into a hug. "And you. I'm so proud of you! You saved her! My little hero!" He struggled against her, but she just tightened her grip on him. "I heard from the news. It's all over!" she exclaimed and let go, flashing him a glare before turning back to Kagome. "Why, InuYasha never mentioned you to me. I had no idea you were his little girlfriend. He said something about a date, but on such a dangerous ride. Such a pity. Now, we need to go home, InuYasha. I had dinner ready for you, but when I saw the news I came as quick as I could. The security wouldn't let me through. Get well soon, Kagome." She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the room. He gave her a backward glance and saw she look a bit sad. His heart received a painful jab before the door slammed closed in his face.
"Why did you have to come," he yelled and pulled against the woman's grip, successfully pulling his hand out of hers once they were outside.
"Because of you!" Her face went from all smiles to a venomous glare. "You have to be fucking a rich bitch like her, don't you? I should have known something was wrong when you never came home at the right time. I had to get food ready myself even though it's your job! You're lucky I don't just kill you now! You had better get plenty of money out of this. Or you'll get more then the belt next time. Now let's go. I'm tired, have a friend waiting at home, and you have lots of cleaning to do. Since you skipped out on Saturday cleaning." She pushed him into her car, got in on her side, and drove off.
"He's gone…" Kagome sighed and rubbed her sore legs. She'd been here for a few hours now, not being able to fall asleep. The thoughts of InuYasha kept plaguing her mind. His helpless look as his foster mother pulled him out stuck out the most. Why did he look like he was scared to go with her? She seemed nice enough. She came all the way out to the hospital to see him and herself. And he never answered her! She blushed at that thought. Did he really want to go out with her? No. He still liked Kikyo most likely. Maybe? She groaned and laid back out on the bed. Maybe he'd give her an answer at school tomorrow. She glanced at the clock. It wasn't to late… And there was a phone right next to her. She reached over, picked up the receiver, and held her finger over the buttons unsurely. Should she call him? Wait! She didn't even know his number. She laughed and dialed up Sango's number.
"Hello?" someone said in a small wavering voice.
"Can I talk to Sango?" Kagome asked and played with the phone cord in her fingers.
"Um-hmm." Then the voice went wild. "SANGO! PHONE!" There was a bunch of more yells she couldn't hear and someone dropped the phone.
"KOHAKU! I thought I told you not to throw the phone!" came Sango's angry yells. "Stupid brother… Hello?"
"Sango?"
"Kagome! Are you all right! I heard the news. How are you feeling?" Her voice went soft at the end and she let out a choked sob.
"Sango! I'm fine. Just a little bruising and joint popped out of place."
"You have the right to sue now! Do it! And what about InuYasha…!" She could tell that was what she'd been really aiming at. "He did save you. Maybe his hanyou title will drop and then he'll get his own fan club!" Her crying fit done. Fake like she'd thought too.
"I have no idea, Sango…" The girl broke into a giggle fit and Kagome groaned.
"What are you keeping from me, Kagome?" she asked, her voice taunting her.
"What do you mean?"
"Did he ask you out!" Sango squealed from the other end. Kagome's face went red and she slapped a hand to her forehead. Sango had a sixth sense. Then a grin crept onto her face. She'd trick her.
"Maybe…"
"Kagome! Tell me!"
"Why should I?"
"Because I'm you best girl friend!"
"Hmm… Let me think about this for a second… No!"
"I'll get you at school. I'll tell Miroku that you're open for the taking."
"Okay! He didn't! I kind of did…" she said, blushing all over again.
"Ha! I knew it! One of you had to have done something! You're hurt. Typical romance spot. Like in this manga I read once. It was a bit farther then asking someone out, but hey! Close enough." Kagome giggled. Sango was such a good friend. "Well, hey! I'm glad you're feeling okay! Hope to see you at school Monday like the perky little girl you are! Ja ne!"
"Bye." She put the phone back in it cradle and rubbed her head. "You are crazy, Sango."
"Clean, you filthy piece of shit!" InuYasha flinched as his foster mother cracked her belt close to his head. He scrubbed at the stain on the carpet, as she stood, drunk as hell, in a pair of panties and bra. Nothing else. He tried to look away from the horrid sight, but she stepped back in front of him. "What? Do you like to look at that dirty little slut better?" she growled in a low voice.
"You're the ugliest thing I've seen in my life!" he spat and she landed a kick on his side, knocking the air out of him. He fell onto his side with a groan and clutched his stomach.
"Shut the fuck up, you little ass hole!" she bellowed, "This place needs to be spotless for when the reporters come to interview you. Now get moving! Then maybe I'll let you have little fun. For the both of us." She purred the last part in a seductive voice, reaching down and running a finger over his ear. He snarled and lashed out at her, successfully cutting her hand. She let out a scream and kicked him again.
"Keep your filthy hands off a me!" Suddenly the doorbell rang and he looked up at the door. The faint shadows of people showed through the lace window cover.
"Shit! Through this crap in the sink and go answer the door! I'm going to be in the bathroom!" And with that the red ran off. InuYasha cursed under his breath and tossed his scrub brush into the bucket. He heaved it up and stumbled to the kitchen with it, tossing into the sink. There was a knock and another ring of the doorbell as he ran for the door. He opened it and gaped at the huge crowd of reporters on the sidewalk.
"H-hello?" he managed to say and took a step back.
"InuYasha! Tell us, what were you doing with Higurashi-san at Kings Island. Are you dating? How long has the relationship been going on!"
"Tell us, are you planning on anything in the future? Children maybe!" He looked around at them and swallowed.
"I-I'm sorry, but I can't answer anything right now. Bye!" He slammed the door closed and more knocks came. He shook his head and saw his foster mother coming out of the bathroom.
"Well?" she asked and looked around. "Where are the reporters?"
"Outside…"
"Then let them in!" she yelled and sat down on the couch. He glared at her and went back over to the door, opening it slowly.
"You all can come in now…" he grumbled and they all rushed forward, pushing him into the living room. "Dear god… Help me!" he thought and gave the reporters nervous looks.
"Are you sure I don't weigh too much?"
"No! You're as light as a feather. We need to get a little something in you! You weight too less really."
"Ah! No! I don't want to look like one of those uber skinny models that never eat!"
"Then we stuff you full with fast food after school. How is that?" Kagome laughed and nodded her head.
"Sounds great, InuYasha! And about the reporters going to your house last night… I'm sorry! It's my entire fault! If I hadn't gotten hurt you'd still be normal old InuYasha."
"It's okay. It's not your fault. Those damn vultures need to find someone else to pick at…" InuYasha grumbled and leaped across the alley under him to the next roof.
"Yea. I hope they don't think of looking up here."
"They won't," he said with a grin.
"Are you sure?"
"As ever! Hold on tight!" Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and his grip on her thighs tightened. "I'm going to take a big jump so hold on!" He crouched down and pushed off the roof, launching up into the air. Kagome let out a yelp, but laughed as they soared over the apartments and houses below.
"This is great! How lucky you are!" He laughed and bounced off another rooftop, feeling her bounce against him too. He felt his face grow warm and something else too… He shook his head a little and saw the school up ahead. She rested her chin on his shoulder and sighed. "Do I have to get off so soon?" she whispered and kissed his cheek. That time his entire face went redder then before and he held down a groan. Was she flirting with him! He landed in his favorite tree and she stayed clamped to his arm when he her down. "It's high!"
"What about just a few minutes ago? You were laughing!"
"That's because I was on you back. Not standing on something solid! Get me down!" He laughed and pulled her up into his arms, jumping down. She let out a sigh of relief once she was back on solid ground and plopped down on her butt.
"KAGOME!" The two of them looked up as a certain wolf demon ran up with an arm full of flowers. InuYasha let out a growl and stepped in front of her as Koga came to a stop, panting a bit, and glared at him. "Move, dog shit. I've got a special delivery for my woman."
"You woman! She is not you woman, you scrawny wolf! Not get the fuck away!" He let out a cold low growl and turned back to Kagome, helping her back up to her feet, but Koga had other ideas. He pushed InuYasha to the side and took Kagome's hands.
"Kagome… As soon as I saw the new last night, I rushed to the hospital. They wouldn't let me in to see you! I'm sorry, but I brought you these flowers as a get well gift!" He clasped her hands around them and gave her a toothy smile.
"Uh, um… Well, thank you, Koga, but I can't accept these! Their-"
"Not good enough! Oh, I'm sorry! I'll get you different ones tomorrow!"
"No, Koga! Their fine! It's just… Aren't they a little to expensive? I mean, roses? These cost a lot!"
"Nothing is to expensive for you, Kagome! Now, let's get you off to class and-" But a fist came in contact with his face before he could finish. InuYasha landed another kick in his stomach and growled.
"Stay away from her, you hormone filled man whore!" He shoved him out of the way with the heel of his shoe and nudged Kagome forward. "Sorry about that. He just wants something cute to fuck. Stay away from him." She dumbly nodded and blinked. Did InuYasha just call her cute? But he called her a something!
"But he was just proving a point. He wasn't saying I was a thing!" she thought and nodded as she sorely walked forward.
"So, do you want to be my partner?"
"No."
"How about now?"
"Nope."
"Any time soon?"
"Nu-uh."
"How about riggggght now?"
"PERVERT!"
WHAP!
Sango huffed and the smiled at the young monk reject on the ground. Maybe he was cute when he did that… He looked up and blinked.
"Did I make you smile?" he asked, jumping up as if nothing had happened and giving her a big grin. She frowned and shook her head.
"No!" He sighed in defeat and slide into the seat behind her.
"How about now?" he whispered and ran a finger down her back. Her eye went wide and she sat straight up. A blushed crept onto her face.
"NO!" she screamed, turning around and punching him.
"Ehem!" She turned back around and looked up at the glaring teacher. "Is there something wrong, Haiyama-san?"
"N-no, Ryukotsusei-sensei!"
"She was just agreeing with me about being partners for the science project!" Miroku piped up and Sango sent him a glare.
"Really now? I thought that you'd be with Akira-san again," Ryukotsusei looked over at the boy sitting in front of him. Long greasy black hair and uni brow, to add a face that made him look high, if he wasn't already, which makes the reason why he wasn't exactly the type of guy you'd want to be near. Miroku looked like he was going to barf.
"No, Ryukotsusei-sensei. He's with me," Sango called out and looked at the now beaming monk.
"Alright then. Now back to what I was showing you on the board."
After another boring half an hour after that, Sango trudged out of the room when Miroku jumped out in front of her.
"Thank you, Sango dearest! You have saved me from having to be paired with that thing again!" He hugged her and lifted her into the air. With a red face she gingerly hugged him back. Then she felt something on her butt. Her smile turned to a glare and she pushed him away, raising her hand back.
SMACK!
Knowing exactly what he'd done to deserve it, the just laid out on his back with a huge smile on his face.
"Stupid, monk…" she grumbled and stomped off.
With a toss of her raven hair, she gazed up at the light green house in amusement.
"So this is the place? Well, I guess I'm going to have to work with her a little more again." Her violet eyes slanted as she spotted a person, if you can call it that, creeping around the side of the house. She looked around and grinned, creeping into the alley next to it. Model makeup checkup? Nope! She clapped her hands together and shook her head. Then when she stepped out again, she was totally different. Her silver hair glinted in the now reveled sunlight as she caught the figure in her eyesight, golden pupils glaring at it. "I'll have to deal with this myself." Wearing a pretty tight skirt, she crept over and peeked around the corner to see a guy about Kagome's age under her window. She smiled to herself and strolled forward. "Hi there!" The boy jumped and looked at her like she was nuts. "What are you doing down here? Isn't the front door on the other side of the house?" she asked and ran her claws through her hair.
"No of your business, bitch!" he growled and pushed her out of the way. She let out a fake gasp and watched as he began to scale the brick wall. She a growl of her own, she grabbed his pant leg and pulled him down from the wall. He landed on the ground with a yelp and gave her a glare. "What the hell!"
"You don't want to know hell, you little bastard!" she hissed and kicked him in the balls. He groaned, rolled onto his side, holding himself, and whimpered. "Get out of here! And if I ever catch you around here again, you won't be holding anything!" He got onto his hands and knees and crawled away. She sighed and shook her head, hair changing back to its raven color. "Kagome really needs security around here…" she mumbled and walked up to the front door.
"So you had a sister before?"
"Yea, but I have no idea what happened to her. We got separated when I was sent here a few years ago."
"That's so sad!" InuYasha laughed as Kagome sniffed and wiped away tears that threatened to fall.
"Oh, come on! It's not that bad!"
"Well, if you say so…" He patted her back and she caught his arm. "How about you stay for dinner? Its not like-"
"HIGURASHI-SAN!"
"INU-CHAN!" They looked back to see a crowd, bigger then the ones that usually followed, running up at an alarming speed.
"Let's get out of here!" Kagome yelled and started off. But before she got very far, InuYasha scooped her up into his arms, bridal style, and took of faster then she ever could.
"You aren't supposed to do anything to strain you legs!" he said and landed on her front porch. He opened the door, set her down, and slammed the door closed as people began pushing on it on the other side. He sighed and slid down against it. Kagome giggled and sat down next to him.
"Maybe we should get body guards?"
"That would be nice…" he said and ran a hand through his hair. "Very nice."
"Then get some." They looked up to see the raven hair girl coming out of the kitchen.
"Ke-Beci!" (And her name sounds like Key Beck and a long e sound. My friends had trouble figuring it out so I thought I'd tell you!) Kagome squealed and jumped up, hugging the girl tightly.
"Yes! It's me! Now, can you loosen up a bit on the hug? I-I can't breath!"
"Oh!" Kagome let go and backed up a little. "Sorry…! I'm just so happy to be seeing you again! How long has it been?"
"Let me see…" Ke-Beci counted off her fingers and smiled. "Four months?"
"Really? Oh jeeze…" She glanced down at InuYasha and smiled, helping him up. "InuYasha, I want you to meet someone! This is my best friend, Ke-Beci!" We've known each other ever since I got my first modeling job!" InuYasha just stared at Ke-Beci. "InuYasha?" Kagome waved a hand in front of his face and frowned. "What's wrong?" Ke-Beci was doing the same when Kagome looked at her. "Ke-Beci?" She clapped her hands, but they still didn't move. "GUYS!"
"B-big brother…?" Ke-Beci whispered and covered her mouth. "It really is you!" She stepped forward and hugged him. She sobbed and he blinked. "Nine years!" Kagome blinked this time and looked at them in pure confusion.
"What's going on?" she asked and Ke-Beci let go of InuYasha, wiping away tears.
"InuYasha is my big bro! We were separated nine years ago when he was sent to a foster home without me," she choked and started crying again. Kagome looked at InuYasha, who was looking at Ke-Beci in surprise still.
"InuYasha!" Ke-Beci looked up at him and stopped crying.
"Inu? Inu! Talk to me! Are you having an attack!" she asked urgently and with wide eyes. He didn't answer and she grabbed his shoulders, giving them a quick shake. "InuYasha! Crap! You wouldn't happen to have any sardines around, would you, Kagome?" she asked with a small smile.
"Sardines?"
"Yea. He's in shock and that's the only thing that worked to snap him out of it.
"Y-yea…" Kagome went into the kitchen and came back out with an open tin of those stinky little fishies. Ke-Beci took and held it under InuYasha nose, waving it back and forth. Finally he cracked and jumped back.
"UGH! What is that!" he yelled and gave the tin of sardines in Ke-Beci's hand an evil glare. "Keep it away! Evil!" the two girls laughed. "What?"
"Your face!" Kagome said and went into the kitchen with the tin in her hand.
"Oh yea! It's good to have you back, big brother!" Ke-Beci said and hugged InuYasha. He smiled and rubbed her back.
"Good to have you back, little sister…"
