Homecoming Court
Chapter 11- Rainy Days
By Red Eclipse
Kagome woke up screaming. When she calmed herself down she heard the rain. A rainy Saturday morning awaited her in the living room. She got up and pushed the door open and walked into the living room. Inuyasha was sitting on a couch stuffing his face with ramen and Sango had taken over the other couch. Kagome flopped down next to Inuyasha and yawned. "Was that you screaming?" Inuyasha asked not looking up from his ramen.
"I just had a bad dream, Miroku was dead, the baboon came back to get me, and you exploded." Kagome mumbled taking up the rest of the couch, she pulled herself into the fetal position and yawned again.
"This sucks its raining." Sango mumbled. Kagome looked at the window and closed her eyes listening to the sound of the rain.
"I love the rain." She sighed blissfully. She stuck her feet in Inuyasha lap and yawned again.
"Hey who told you you can do that?" Inuyasha growled at her feet.
"You're the one in the way."
"Oh so sorry." Inuyasha growled dripping with sarcasm. He went back to his ramen. Kagome sighed and continued to listen to the rain fall gently outside. Sango shifted on her couch and walked out of the room. "So Kagome excited about homecoming?" Inuyasha tried to make conversation.
"You should know better by now Inuyasha. I'd rather get my lungs torn out then go through with that damn thing." Kagome mumbled without opening her eyes.
"Oh, I just figured you're trying to be a tough girl." Kagome gave him a weird look and then laughed.
"Yeah right, Yeah deep down inside I'm really a girly girl hiding herself from a scary world." She continued laughing at him. He smiled at her and actually put down his ramen. He stared at her momentarily and looked lost in thought.
"What? Quit looking at me Inuyasha." They both felt a flash and Sango was laughing giddily from the door way camera in hand.
"Oh my gawd that was such a cute shot!" Sango squealed. Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other again and both people got up and started chasing Sango around the house. Threats of: You'll never be able to hold a camera again! And Sango I'll tell Miroku your biggest secrets Rung throughout the house. In the end Sango took off in her car to take the film to be developed.
"That jerk!" Kagome whined watching Sango's car pull away. Kagome walked back into Sango's room and got dressed quickly. She started toward the door when Inuyasha pounced on her, "Where do you think you're going?" She winced hearing him at all.
"Hey Inuyasha why are you even here?"
"I ran out of ramen." Kagome mouthed an o and continued walking out the door.
"Kagome! Naraku is waiting to pounce could you just listen to me for once perhaps?"
"No." Kagome stuck her tongue out and ran down the street, Inuyasha gave chase yelling at her.
"My grandfather wanted Souta to take over the shrine since he was the oldest male and since my father is no where to be found. Souta started drinking at about 12 and then moved up and up to stronger drugs. My grandfather was crushed but he started training Miroku. But Miroku started following in Souta's footsteps. My grandfather was so depressed he just left. He sends letters to my mom but he never comes to visit." Kagome snuggled into her turtle neck as they sat in Sango's backyard.
"Wow, so he's never come back huh." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Nope. My mom's with him while our house is being fixed. So the deal is you have to tell me something remember."
"You don't wanna hear about my family."
"It was a deal. You can't do that cheater."
"Fine I'll tell you about my brother. When I joined up with Naraku I gained a lot of power. I was Naraku's right hand man. Sesshoumaru joined in the lower ranks and was always challenging my authority. Whenever I was assigned him jobs he would do something different during the actual hit and ruin the whole operation. When I decided to leave, he alerted Naraku so I had to fight my way out of the gang. Sesshoumaru and I are not on the best of terms. Once I got out he took the position I had, but he doesn't have any real power, he's their middleman." Inuyasha laughed at his brother.
"Poor Inuyasha."
"What do you mean 'poor Inuyasha'? I was happy to mess that bastard up."
"I mean that you had to fight your way out like that."
"So? I've had to either fight my way in or out of things all my life. Your turn now."
"Uh, I could tell you about my dad I guess. My dad left when I was 6 so I don't remember much about why. I remember my mother used to cry a lot and hold me while she cried. For some reason when I remember my father I remember bruises and the stench of alcohol. But he left, and I don't want to talk about this anymore. You go now." Kagome said shaking her head remembering things she had blocked out of her mind long ago.
"Fine I guess. Naraku is my cousin. He was the one who started the gang thing up and dragged me into it all. You already know all about him though so it's your turn."
"Uh, I think I already said everyone."
"Well so have I."
"Now it's boring again. But at least it's still raining" Kagome stood up and ran out into the rain. Inuyasha wouldn't go out into the rain. He watched her kick through the puddles soaking her jeans and laughing in the process. She laughed and swirled. She stopped when she noticed Inuyasha staring at her with a slight smile on his face.
"You're gonna get sick." He said trying to sound unconcerned.
"So what? This is fun!" Kagome kicked in the puddle again. "I love the rain!"
"I'm going inside." Kagome continued dancing around in the rain.
Inuyasha walked through the kitchen and stopped by the window. The window in the kitchen looked directly out to a view of the backyard. Inuyasha looked out the window momentarily. He made his way through the kitchen into the dining room. He stopped in his steps when he realized someone was in the room. "Naraku. What the hell do you want?"
"Relax Inuyasha. I have a proposition for you that's all. Of course if you're not willing to listen my guys are positioned all around this house waiting." Naraku got up and started walking over to him. "Of course if you did try to fight me now, I can make them strike, but if you listen to me then I can arrange it otherwise." Inuyasha glared at him.
"Why exactly do you want Kagome dead? You usually don't use this much energy on a person who didn't actually do anything to you." Inuyasha snarled at him.
"I knew what you were doing before all this. You admired her to a degree didn't you? You knew she had to be strong for her to be able to survive all she's been through. Her father's beatings, both of her brother's drug abuse, and all the other things. Then when you actually had to protect her from me you watched her differently. Therefore Inuyasha it's gotten personal." Naraku smiled maliciously.
"That's absurd Naraku! I've never thought of that girl or looked at her differently! Can we talk about your proposition somewhere else please?" Inuyasha yelled.
"Why don't we go for a ride now Inuyasha?"
"Like this isn't a trap. Tonight midnight."
"The old hideout." Naraku agreed.
"Fine."
"Inuyasha if you're not there...there will be grave consequences." Naraku started for the door. Inuyasha struggled to restrain himself. He walked to the backdoor leading to the backyard and watched the backyard through the screen, knowing the house might still be surrounded. Kagome started walking for the door and she walked inside the house. Inuyasha walked over to the hall closet and took a couple towels and walked back over to where she was handing her the towels. She rubbed her head and Inuyasha walked back into the living room.
The clock in his car read 11:57 Pm. Three more minutes and Naraku would appear. Inuyasha shifted from one foot two another as he leaned against his car. It had been only a short time ago when he had a lot of power in this place. Although he had told Kagome he had been a right hand man, Inuyasha had actually been a hit man for the gang. Kagome hadn't needed to know that about him.
Two minutes. Inuyasha started getting annoyed. "Naraku if you're here come out already this is getting boring!" He yelled out into the cold October night. Inuyasha counted the seconds down to midnight and Naraku crept up from behind him at exactly midnight.
"You always have to be dramatic." Inuyasha shook his head.
"Are you going to let me talk now?"
"Go ahead talk. Tell me your stupid proposition."
A/N- Wow this was a hard chapter to write. I wrote at least five other versions. In one of them they were camping with a really cute fluff scene between Inu/Kag, in another Kagome was kidnapped by Takashin with a chase scene and everything. I finally ended up with this. Whoops it's been a little too long for an update. I'd like to say sorry if it sounded like I was gonna quit working on this story. Thanks for the reviews everyone! I promise to update sooner, I was only stuck on this chapter. I don't know if this chapter is any good or not so tell me! Thanks for reading, Luv ya lots. Bye!
Yay it's almost homecoming I can't wait to write this chapter! I'm all giddy thinking about it -!!!!
