.:Chapter Five:.
-Perfume Balls?-
-Then for the first time in many days, Kagome smiled sincerely.-
xxxxx
Inuyasha looked over at that Kagome girl for the umpteenth time. She still looked sad. He cleared his throat and reached to turn on his radio in attempt to lighten up the atmosphere. On blasted the chorus of a 50 Cent song.
-All a ----- really need is a lil bit
Not a lot baby girl just a lil bit
We can head to the crib in a lil bit
I can show ya how I live in a lil bit
I wanna unbutton your pants just a lil bit
Take 'em off and pull 'em down just a lil bit
Get to kissin' and touchin' a lil bit
Get to lickin' and -- a lil bit-
Inuyasha punched the radio and the music stopped. From the corner of his eye, he saw the girl squirm and look even more uncomfortable than before. Great. So much for lighetning up the atmosphere… Now the girl is practically just begging to get out of this car and away from me. Inuyasha blinked. Wait- why the hell do I care if she thinks I'm weird or if she wants to get away from me?
His thoughts were interrupted by a loud horn and a piercing scream. Inuyasha stepped on the breaks self consciously. Then, a hand grabbed onto his steering wheel causing the car to swerve left and come to a screeching stop about 7 meters away. Other screeches and horns were sounded all around.
Inuyasha whipped his head around to furiously glare at Kagome. "What the fuck did you think you were doing?" he yelled. But seeing the girl shaking and as white as paper made him feel guilty right away.
"Hey, you alright?" He asked gently, placing his hand lightly on Kagome's shoulder. But Kagome pulled away as if she had been burned.
"Don't touch me you idiot!" She screamed.
Inuyasha clenched his jaw. "What the hell is wrong with you? You almost get my freaking Ferrari totaled and I'm supposed to be here comforting you? In your fucking dreams, bitch."
"Don't call me a bitch, you asshole!"
"Fuck you. Get out of my car! I don't even know what I was thinking trying to be nice to a poor wench like you. Go find some other car to hitchhike!"
Kagome was already unbuttoning her seat belt with a shaky hand, while sobbing uncontrollably.
"I hope you burn in hell Inuyasha. You know, you almost had me fooled there for awhile. I thought you'd actually changed. But I can see now. You'll never change! I hate you!" Kagome stepped out of the car and ran off, zigzagging through the many cars that had been stopped by Inuyasha's car.
The many honks and yells of cars and their drivers were getting inside Inuyasha's head. He cursed as he came out of his Ferrari and onto the passenger side to close the door. Then he came back around and got into his car. He slammed down on his accelerator and expertly weaved his way out of his traffic jam. A number of beeps and curses followed as Inuyasha rolled down his window and stuck out his middle finger. Fuck them all.

Kagome sat on a park bench, shivering. She had stuffed her thin pink sweater in her purse, which she had left in Inuyasha's car. Was it just her, or was God just against her these days?
Once again, her thoughts shifted back to this afternoon. Everything had been so perfect- well… okay, not perfect, what with the tension in the car- but it had been good. Well, until that little car incident. God. She had been so scared that she'd be going to the hospital again. The hospital.She hated that place. The plaster smell of everything, the darkness of every corner, the eeriness of the hallways, the sadness of every patient, and most of all- the false cheeriness of the whole damn thing. Even in the children's unit, all those animated stickers on the walls and stuffed animals, just sitting there grinning at you. Kagome found it unacceptable. Not only do those little props not make anyone more cheerful, it made the atmosphere so tense, with everything so artificial and imitated.
Kagome sighed. She dug into her pocket and pulled out a quarter. Then she looked around for a payphone. Found one. She made her way to it and found it already occupied by someone- wait, isn't that the crazy guy who crashed her Porsche! Kagome's eyes widened and quickly turned and began walking away. She'd rather walk around the streets looking like a hobo than wait at that phone booth and be seen by that maniac again.
But she hadn't walked away fast enough. Kouga glanced up while still chatting on the phone and stared. Damn, was he lucky these days. It was that hot girl from the hospital! He quickly forgot about his call and instantly dropped the phone and jogged after a fussy Kagome.
He caught up easily and with a grin, started the conversation. "Hey! It's Kagome right?"
Kagome winced. "Um… yeah. Hi Kouga."
The guy's face lit up. "Wow, you remembered my name!" Psh. Yeah right. Like she could just easily forget the name of the guy who crashed the Porsche and acted like it was the best thing that ever happened to him. When Kagome just gave a weak smile, Kouga continued. "Hey, you busy right now?"
Kagome's head started to throb. Oh God. This guy can't possibly be asking her out. She had to get out of it! "Um. Sorry, Kouga. I'd love to, but I'm in a hurry to get somewhere." She said nervously.
But Kouga didn't seem fazed one bit. "Oh yea. No problem. Well, maybe some other time then." Kagome twitched. "So, where are you going in such a hurry? Would you like me to drive you? My car's right over there." He pointed to the hot red Lexus convertible parked on the side of the road. Kagome hesitated. "Please, Kagome? It would be the least I could do since I crashed your car." This guy just doesn't know when to drop it.
But Kagome decided to just go with it. I mean. It's just faster way to get to Sango's house. "Alright, Kouga. If it's not too much trouble for you." Kagome tried to sound cheery but mirthlessly failed.
Kouga seemed too giddy to realize anything. "GREAT! Well, you can show me the direction and uh, we'll be there in no time!"

Stupid wench. Left her stupid wench-y purse on my stupid wench-y passenger's seat. Inuyasha had still been swearing and cursing Kagome when he got pulled into his garage. Then as he was getting out of his car, he noticed a small purple bag. Kagome's purse. He scoffed, picked it up and got out of his car.
He walked into his mansion and was just about to throw the purse into the garbage can when a picture fluttered out and onto the ground. Inuyasha dropped the bag and picked up the picture. It was of a twelve year old Kagome and another girl with their arms around each other, both looking teary-eyed yet smiling brightly. Confused, Inuyasha turned the picture over to look for a date. But instead of that, he found a note written neatly. Inuyasha read it to himself.
Kagome, always remember that I'm here for you. No matter when you need me, just call me up, or come on over to my place. I promise not to make fun of you if you cry, and I won't even get mad if you blow your nose on my favorite shirt again!
So just know that whenever you feel like crying, come to me, or I'll come to you, and like that EMAIL you sent me said: I might not be able to cheer you up, but I'll cry with you!
P.S. Remember this picture? We were on a field trip and that ugly guy was bullying you so you called me and I beat him up? It was so fun! And then a supervisor took this picture of us two because she said we looked so cute. Hehe. I hope you get bullied more so I can beat those jerks up!
P.P.S. Or was it P.S.S.? –You can see the bully in the picture!
-Sango-
Inuyasha quickly flipped the picture back and searched the background for "the ugly bully". And then he found it. The poor kid was lying on the ground with a twisted look, his hands covering his… OH MY GOD. Inuyasha cracked up. Ah… the poor lil' dude. But his laughter died down as he took a closer look at the young Kagome. She was the girl from that dream. She had been the one Inuyasha asked to the movies. She was the one who he had bullied. She was the one who had a tough friend who-… No… was it possible? Once again, he looked back at the kid lying on the floor in the picture. Oh God. Long white hair. He shifted his gaze to the Sango girl. Yup. Same old distrustful face. One look at her, and you'd think she was a sweet gentle girl. But say one wrong word, and she'll freakin SMASH your face in. Unless you're a boy. Then she'll smash your…. well, you know.
Oh God! This was so disgraceful. He cant let anyone see this picture. Whipping his head around him and his eyes in slits, he saw that no one was around. So he quickly threw the picture into the garbage can. Then he sighed contently. Problem solved. Then his stomach began to grumble. And since Ayame seemed to have disappeared, Inuyasha decided that it would be the perfect time to make some RAMEN! He quickly got to work (which wasn't much…). He threw in all those packets of ingredients, and then… added WAY too much water. Inuyasha shrugged. No problem. He walked over to the garbage can and pour some of the soup into it. Then he sat down and ate. Yum.
But after just a few bites, a thought occurred to him. What if someone looked in the garbage can and saw the picture? Or if the garbage man saw it? Shit! He dropped his ramen on the table, flew to the garbage can, and without thinking, bent over to dig out the photo, his long strands of hair falling into the bin. UGH. The picture was now soggy and wet from the noodle soup. But Inuyasha had to get the picture. He reached for it and-
"Ohmygod! Inuyasha what the hell are you doing?"
Inuyasha was so startled he straightened up right away, pushing his weight onto the side of the garbage can, causing it to flip slightly- and land directly his head, covering his whole upper body. He screamed with disgust.

Kagome didn't have to worry about awkward silences while in the car with Kouga. Ohh no. He didn't rest for a second. She wondered how he was able to breathe and talk at the same time so fast…
"Oh yeah, and at the telephone booth. It's just that my cellphone ran out of batteries. I mean like, I don't usually use the payphone. This was actually the second time in my whole life!"
"Oh. I see. That's um- very interesting." Kagome said monotonously. "Oh! Turn left here." Sango's house came into view, Kagome felt herself become calm. Sango will make everything better. She always has.
As Kouga stopped the car on the side of the road, he cleared his throat. "Hey, so uh… What are you up to this weekend, Kagome?"
Too excited to lie, she replied, "Oh, probably nothing."
Kouga beamed. "Great! Well, how about I take you out to a fancy restaurant?"
"Oh, nah. I uh- I don't really like restaurant food." Right.
"Well… that's okay. How about coffee?"
"Look, Kouga. I really like you, but I've just recently broken up with someone, so I'm still trying to recover. I'm really sorry. Maybe some other time?"
Kouga's shoulders sagged slightly. "Alright. Can I at least get your number?"
"Ah… uh… n… okay. Do you have a piece of paper and a pen?"
Kouga whipped them out of his pocket and passed them to Kagome. He was an expert at this. Been in the situation lots of times, it seems… She quickly wrote down a number and gave it back to Kouga.
"Sweet! Thanks Kagome. And uh. I guess I'll see you?"
"Yeah. And thanks for the ride, Kouga." Kagome gave a small smile and stepped out of the car.
"No problem. Catch you later." Then slowly at first, but quickly picking up pace, the Lexus sped out of sight.
At last… Freedom!

Inuyasha walked out of his bathroom with a towel around him. And there stood Ayame with that smug look on her face. Crap. He had been hoping that his maid would have already forgotten about the whole garbage can incident. Besides, it was all her fault anyways. But maybe that's why she looked smug. That evil bitch…
"What?" He said, glaring at Ayame.
She just stood there grinning.
Inuyasha twitched. Ayame laughed. "Nothing. It's just that you were in there for quite awhile and I began to worry if you had gotten yourself stuck inside another garbage can or something."
Inuyasha growled and decided to simply ignore her. It always seemed to work in movies.
"What? You scared I'll tell one of your friends and ruin your image? C'mon Inu, I wont tell."
Nope. Doesn't work. "Shut up."
"Aw, you're being no fun."
"Leave me alone."
Ayame must have sensed how annoyed he was, and decided to quit bothering him- for now. She chuckled and walked out of Inuyasha's room.
Damn that Kagome. This was all her fault. She made Inuyasha look like an idiot. And she was going to pay.
xxxxx
The moment Sango opened the door, Kagome flung herself at her startled friend and started crying. And for about the next five minutes, Sango stood there and comforted Kagome, even though she had no idea what was going on. After awhile, Kagome reluctantly let go. They went and sat on the couch, and Kagome told Sango everything. All the while, Sango sat and listened silently, being the best friend that Kagome loved so much. And at that very moment, Kagome realized that everything would be alright.

Kagome was gonna be anything but alright after all the trouble she caused Inuyasha. He cackled as he drove towards Kagome's home. He still had a faint idea of where it was. Not long after, he arrived. Inuyasha looked around. Yup. This was the place. He picked up Kagome's purse and walked out of his car. He silently crept up to her front door, and dropped the purse in front of their giant welcome mat. Then he ran back into his car and quickly drove away. Hehehe… have fun, Kag.

Coincidently, Kagura and her boyfriend Naraku just happened to be looking out the window, waiting for the arrival of the pizza delivery dude, when a guy with long white hair sneaked up to Kagura's door. She knew instantly who it was.
"Inuyasha?"
The baffled pair waited till Inuyasha drove off, before quickly taking the elevator to the main floor and opened the door to find- Kagome's ugly purse! There was a small note attached to the handle of the purse, and without hesitation, Kagura pulled it off, read it to herself, then smirked. Naraku impatiently snatched the note from her.
Dear Kagome,
Sorry about this afternoon. I wasn't feeling so well and I let out my anger on you. Please forgive me. I realized you left your bag in my car, so I decided to bring it back to you. I am too ashamed to give this to you face to face, so I decided to just leave it here. I've left a little present for you. Inside your bag, I have placed a small bag of perfume balls (the newest kind of perfume). You just keep them in your pocket and you'll smell even more wonderful than you already do. I hope you accept my apology.
Yours truly,
Inuyasha
Naraku scoffed and threw the note on the floor. "What a loser."
Kagura didn't answer as she bent down and dug into Kagome's bag, and pulled out a small bag. "Ha. Kagome doesn't need any perfume. She wouldn't even know how to use it. I could use some of this new stuff. Then greedily, she picked out every single 'perfume ball' and placed them in every pocket on her. Then, when Naraku wasn't paying attention, she slipped one into his back pocket of his brand new jeans. She Naraku was great, but it would be better if he smelt a bit nicer…
xxxxx
Inuyasha whistled as he drove home. Kagome must have seen her purse by now. And the little present. A poor bitch like her, she must have put a few of those stink bombs in her pockets right away. Perfume my ass. In a few hours, you'll be smelling like horse piss. And there aint nothing you can do about it until the smell slowly disappears on its own. Which takes only about… two weeks, maximum.
Inuyasha cackled evilly. Sucker…
xxxxx
As the evening went by and Naraku left, Kagura started smelling something. Something nasty. But she ignored it. No prob. Those perfume balls will take away the smell in no time.
