.- .- .- .- Chapter 6: Who is your Sweetheart?
And for the rest of the evening, Kagome was content to know that Inuyasha's attention was on her… and only her.
The party ended around midnight and tomorrow was Sunday… which also meant that Inuyasha had an interview with some lady from some news channel.
He decided to drop Souta and Kagome off early that night, so instead of the midnight which Kagome and Souta already planned, Inuyasha took them at 11. He held Kagome's hands as he led her and Souta to his car.
"I have a stupid interview tomorrow with god knows who. Fluffy will tell me. I'll drop you too home now." He said as Kagome got into his car. Souta climbed into the back and took off his mask.
"Wow… Nee-chan that party was so like that parties dad used to throw." Souta smiled sadly.
Kagome took off her mask and turned back to her brother. "Souta-kun, you were 4 when dad died… how could you remember?"
Souta shrugged. "I dunno. Guess it's one of those things."
Kagome smiled as she took off her shoes.
"Damn Sweetheart. You could kill a vampire with those." Inuyasha smirked.
"Oh shut up all great singer." Kagome shot back as she stretched her toes. "Let's see you spend an evening with crazy fans spilling over you. I actually had two marriage proposals and 5 requests of singing Mr. Wonderful."
(I don't own Mr. Wonderful. SMiLE.dk owns it aright? And the song Let's Go mentioned below, I don't own I either. Shawn Desman does. For more info check out my disclaimer alright.)
"Ouch. Wasn't that your solo on Hanyou?" Inuyasha asked, referring to their CD
"Yea. And your solo was Let's Go right?"
"Yea, we only had two solos. Everything else is duet."
Kagome nodded knowingly. She turned to check on Souta and found he was already sleeping.
"Wonder if he'll be alright tonight." Kagome whispered.
"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked.
"If ever Souta goes to sleep with Dad in his mind he has nightmares."
Inuyasha nodded knowing exactly what happened. Kagome, Korari, Souta and Akira all went to the beach. It was late night when they were returning home when a drunk madman crashed into their car. Akira had died instantly on the spot however Kagome, Korari and Souta stayed hospitalized for a few weeks.
Inuyasha arrived at their house and Kagome slightly shook Souta awake.
"Souta-kun, let's go inside." Kagome whispered. Inuyasha smiled at Kagome's softness towards her brother.
"Augh." He murmured as he clung onto Kagome as she helped him out of the car. She waved bye to Inuyasha as she slowly led Souta up the stairs. He stumbled a few times but finally he got into his bed.
Kagome shook his head as she helped him change. He was half asleep and he was lolling his head back and forth as Kagome helped his shirt off.
"Get your own boxers on." She said. She got out of the room and went to change her self. She got into her green tank top and shorts and went back into Souta's room. He changed and was already crawling into bed. She kissed his forehead and smiled at his cute face.
"Night Souta,"
"Nee-chan…" He mumbled before turning. Kagome giggled as she went to wash her face and fall asleep too…
'Good night… my Inuyasha.' She thought as she faintly touched her lips before falling asleep.
.- Next Day -.
Inuyasha got up early and changed into some of Sesshomaru's clothing since half of his clothes were scattered around his bedroom.
He got into a pair of Sesshomaru's blue track pants and a tight muscle shirt. He left his closet grinning at himself.
'To bad Sesshomaru didn't pick his clothes up from the laundry room.' Inuyasha laughed to himself as he pulled on his runners and left to his car.
"Inuyasha, have some food!" Izayoi called.
"Later mom! I'm going to visit Sweetheart after my interview," Inuyasha called.
"Alright, tell her I said hi." Izayoi said from the dining room.
Inuyasha whistled a tune as he got into his car and drove to the T.V station.
It took him half and hour to drive to the station. He got out and walked in and waltzed up to the floor his Live Interview was taking place on. 'It kicks ass to be famous,' he grinned to himself as he knocked on the door.
"Come in," Came a muffled voice. Inuyasha walked in to find Nazuda Tokijin, the same lady who interviewed him last time.
"Nazuda?" Inuyasha asked baffled.
"Oh hi Inuyasha. Yea I'm the interviewer again. Please take a seat, we're rolling in 5 minutes."
Inuyasha nodded as he sat down.
.- Kagome and Souta -.
Korari was at work that morning and Kagome and Souta were eating breakfast in the television room.
"Yashie has an interview today Souta." Kagome said as she ate a spoon of her cereal.
Souta nodded as he turned on the television just in time to see Inuyasha's face pop up.
"So Inuyasha, we're so glad you're back with us again. Unlike our last interview, this time we will be discussing… ah shall I say it nicely? Personal Life."
Inuyasha coughed. "Yea well, it's only fair we do. I've heard rumours that I'm gay… last I checked I still liked girls."
Nazuda laughed. "Why that's why we're here today, to clear up some things."
Inuyasha nodded. "Glad."
"Ok, to start off, you have a Sweetheart and a girlfriend am I correct?"
Inuyasha sighed. "Let me tell you something Nazuda. No matter where I go, the subject of Sweetheart does pop up. She was at my father's masquerade ball birthday party yesterday night and yes, she had 2-marriage proposal. Marriage? Only because she's my Sweetheart? And my girlfriend Kikyo has had strange letters in her mail saying that she owes somebody my boxers and what not. I do not, and do no appreciate random people spamming my Sweetheart aka best friend or my girlfriend."
Nazuda nodded. "Yes sir Inuyasha."
Inuyasha smiled. "Alright so on with the interview?"
Souta was laughing like a maniac. "What a buster!"
Kagome snorted. "Gee, he just had to use my marriage proposals as his little 'don't bug sweetheart' thing eh?"
Souta laughed even harder. "So he wasn't bluffing?"
Kagome shook her head. "Nah, last night two people did propose to me."
Milk blew out of Souta's nose. "Perfect!"
Inuyasha leaned into his chair as Nazuda continued asking him questions.
"Alright, so we know that you've known your Sweetheart since you were a baby… does anybody else know who she is?"
Inuyasha shrugged. "Depends. Family of course know who she is but outsiders don't… except one lucky bastard." Inuyasha glared into the television set, referring to Naraku.
"I see… and now, Sweethearts birthday is coming up soon am I correct?"
"Oh yes, about that. Her birthday is on October 28th and there is a Hanyou Live Concert happening in the open stadium in Downtown. I'm obviously going to be there and my band, consisting of my brother, my two male cousins and two of my female cousins. Vocalists is me and of course Sweetheart. She is going to be there but her face is hidden," Inuyasha winked into the camera.
Souta turned to his sister. "Are you really?"
Kagome nodded. "Yea, Yashie told me a few days ago."
Souta laughed. "So I get free tickets?'
"It wouldn't matter. You know Sesshomaru and he's the stage manager, ticket manager and drummer."
Souta nodded. "Oh and who are the band members? Kirara, Shiori, Sesshomaru, Ah and Un?"
Kagome laughed. "Those twins are such bastards!"
Souta smirked. "Remember last time Ah and Un were at Yasha's place?"
"They shoved his and Sesshomaru's face into the pie." Kagome laughed remembering a precious moment.
Kirara was Shiori's older sister and they were in the band. Kirara did keyboard and Shiori had percussion instruments around her. Tambourines, maracas, triangles you name it! Ah and Un were guitarists and they had a bass and electric guitar as their partners. Sesshomaru was drummer.
Kagome and Inuyasha were vocalists.
Anyway, the interview continued and Souta and Kagome finished their breakfast. Kagome got a wicked idea. She told Souta to go run and get her cell phone from the charger.
Souta got up and ran upstairs, grabbed his sisters phone and came back down and gave it to her.
"What you up to Nee-chan?"
"You think Yashie's phone is on?"
Souta laughed manically. "I bet it is…"
Kagome speed dialed Inuyasha's number and sure indeed his phone was on.
"Nee-chan! Why the hell would that loser keep his phone on?" Souta asked raising a brow.
"Because only family know his cell number, besides Kikyo and us and we all know he has an interview today. He doesn't expect us to call." Kagome grinned as the phone started ringing on T.V.
She saw Inuyasha frowned and pick it up. He glared into the television set as he picked it up.
"Who is it Inuyasha?" Nazuda asked.
"Somebody who's about to die." Inuyasha picked up and said in a very angry voice.
"What?"
"When are you coming over?"
"Why now?" He growled getting angrier.
"What the hell is your problem? I mean you're on national television might as well smile." Kagome scoffed.
"Why are you calling me now?" Inuyasha growled.
"Why isn't your phone off?" Kagome screamed.
That caused Inuyasha to shut up.
"Fine then, if you're so preoccupied with your interview don't bother coming over today. I have to take Souta date shopping anyways." Kagome mumbled as she turned off her phone.
Kagome hung up and got up. "Get dressed Souta. You have a date with Kim today and we need to get you clothes."
Souta moaned as he got up and went to get changed.
'Bastard Inuyasha…' Kagome thought as a faint blush erupted in her cheeks.
'But isn't that why I love him?' she thought.
Kagome turned off her cell phone for the rest of the day. She knew it was partly her fault but she just KNEW in her heart that Inuyasha had his phone on. Oh well, no reason for him to scream at her.
Souta and Kagome came home around 6 and Korari still wasn't home.
"Damn, I need a job to help mama." Kagome mumbled as she dumped some clothes and shoes on the floor. Souta bought two pairs of pants and three t-shirts.
"Go change, Kim's brother is picking you two up soon." Kagome said.
Kim Hiro, Souta's girlfriend had an older brother who was 20 and was engaged. Kagome and Kim's brother, Koto were really close. They've been through elementary and middle school together. Of course they did one year of high school before Koto went off to university.
"Alright Nee-chan," Souta mumbled before running upstairs to change.
Within 20 minutes Souta came downstairs and Koto and Kim were already for Souta.
"Make sure Koto picks you up at 9 ok Souta? If he's 15 minutes late call me up with your cell and I'll find someway to pick you up alright?" Kagome said yawning. She was feeling awkwardly tired and she might just go to bed now, but with the home phones and her cell phone with loud ringing volume, in case somebody calls.
"Alright Nee-chan. I have a key to the place so go to bed. You're tired."
Kagome smiled as she kissed her brother's forehead. "Bye,"
Souta waved as he left.
Kagome yawned again before going to her bedroom and collapsing onto the bed.
.- Morning -.
Kagome's alarm clock rung and she yawned and got up. 'So I slept all night.'
She went to Souta's room and shook him awake. "UP!" She screamed. Miroku was picking Kagome and Sango up today since Kagome was still pretty pissed at Inuyasha about yesterday… though it was half her fault.
Kagome's mother was at work so again, Koto, Kim's brother would be picking him up.
They slowly got ready without saying a single word to each other. Finally when they went downstairs, Kagome busted him about his date.
"So, how was it?"
"Fun as hell Kagome-nee-chan." Souta grinned.
"Like?" Kagome smiled.
"Well, we did kiss,"
Kagome squealed. "WAIII!"
Souta blushed. Kagome suddenly pouted.
"No fair, my baby brother has a girlfriend and I'm still single."
Souta came and patted Kagome's head. "It's ok Nee-chan. A boy one day will see what you're worth. Though he'd probably be blind."
"You little monkey!" Kagome screamed. But a honking stopped her.
"Saved by Miro and Sango." Souta laughed as Kagome left, glaring at Souta.
Kagome ran into Miroku's car and grinned. "Sango, why don't you drive?"
Miroku pouted. "Why?"
"You drive like a granny." Sango grinned as she shoved Miroku over. Miroku pouted. "IT'S MY CAR!"
"Yea well you're our boy." Kagome laughed as Sango took off.
They arrived at school in three minutes. Kagome was laughing happily as Miroku was sheet white.
"YOU COULD HAVE KILLED THAT POOR LADYBUG!" Miroku cried.
"Ladybug, shmadybug, who cares! We got to school on time!"
Miroku frowned. "Sango, we have spare first."
Sango shrugged. "So, I'll escort Kagome to her class."
Miroku shook his head. He went to the locker room to check if his soccer uniform was still there. He forgot he left it there after tryouts last week.
Kagome had ignored Inuyasha all weekend. She did kind of feel guilty but his phone was on!
"Oh Kagome, did you see the interview with Inuyasha yesterday?" Sango asked. Kagome winced as she saw Inuyasha walk by them.
"Yea?" Kagome whispered as Inuyasha stopped at his locker, which was right beside Kagome's.
"Somebody called him, it was so freaky he was so pissed off."
Kagome shrugged. "Must've been somebody annoying…"
That caused Inuyasha to shoot Kagome a look. He continued to rummage through his locker.
"Oh yea, and Kouga and Hojo are going to ask you out."
Kagome started coughing as Sango accidentally shut the locker on her finger. "OWWWWWW! SANGO YUE!" Kagome screamed.
Sango winced as Inuyasha's eyes widened seeing Kagome's red fingers.
"Oh shit Kagome I'm sorry!"
"Fuck the fingers, what's this about Kouga and Hojo?" Kagome asked, totally forgetting Inuyasha and her fingers.
"Kouga told Miroku, since they're both on the soccer team together, that he's going to ask you out. Miroku overheard Hojo on Saturday at the mini mall that he's going to ask you out."
Kagome whistled low. "A pansy and a very possessive wolf man."
Sango snorted. "A pansy? Isn't that what your friend calls him?"
Kagome glared at Sango. "Don't say that bastards name ever."
Inuyasha glared at Kagome as she walked off. First period bell rung and they all rushed to class.
Kagome sat in Musical Theater class rubbing her fingers. They were turning purple and splotchy. She didn't even look at Inuyasha as her fingers throbbed even more. Around half way through the period, Kagome seriously couldn't take the pain.
"Kaguya-sensei." Kagome called.
"Yes Kagome?"
"Can I get ice?"
"Why?"
"My friend slammed my locker on my fingers."
Kaguya winced as she nodded. Kagome had tears in her eye, that's how much her fingers were hurting. She breezed past Inuyasha to go get ice from the office.
After two minutes Inuyasha got insanely worried so he asked if he could go to the bathroom. Kaguya allowed him and he ran off to where he would expect Kagome to be at, the third floor abandoned girls toilet.
He rushed in and indeed he saw Kagome running her hand under cold water while putting ice on it.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid! I just had to keep my fingers when I knew Sango would shut he locker… stupid Inuyasha… stupid me… stupid phone… stupid… AHHH!" Kagome screamed as her fingers throbbed even more.
Without caring Inuyasha sprang forward and grabbed Kagome's fingers.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome gasped.
"Stay quiet." He said softly as he wrapped her fingers around the plastic bag the ice was in.
"But…"
"I was worried." Inuyasha said before leaving.
Kagome smiled knowing he wasn't entirely too mad. She walked into class a few minutes after Inuyasha did.
"Kagome, Inuyasha… I was telling the class that you need to work on your mini play for the rest of the period."
Kagome sighed as she sat down beside Inuyasha.
"So what do we do?" She asked.
"What we did the last time we did this play. Except we take all the characters. You be the evil fairy, good fairy, the mother of the princess, and the princess. I'll be the father of the girl, the prince and the… wait I can't do two roles in the same scene."
"Just pretend some old lady told him the legend. I'll take that role." Kagome said.
Inuyasha nodded as he jotted something's down.
"What about the kiss," He asked as he face her.
Kagome kissed her fingers. "We'll figure that out later…
.- After school -.
Archery practice was cancelled that day because of injury on the captain. It will resume tomorrow. Soccer practice was on.
Everybody left the change room to go to the field to get warmed up. Inuyasha pulled out his cell phone thinking everybody was gone but didn't realize Miroku was back in again to find his goalie gloves. Miroku hid behind lockers as Inuyasha dialed somebody's number.
"Hello? Sweetheart?"
Miroku's eyes widened.
"Yea… listen I'm really sorry about the… no you don't need to apologize, it was me that got mad at you for calling."
Miroku took in the fact that his Sweetheart called during the interview.
"No… yea I left my phone on… great lesson of life Sweetheart. Anyways, I'm coming over tonight and I'm sleeping over tonight. I know your mom's going to work extra tonight and your brother can't cook. You have bad fingers so I'll cook for you."
Miroku frowned. 'Kagome had injured fingers… nah the possibilities are against me. Kagome hates him!'
Miroku quickly ran out of the change room as Inuyasha shut off his phone.
"Who is she?" he muttered to himself as he ran to his goalie post.
Now wasn't that great? No not really it was a sad chapter but Naraku schemes soon… what does he scheme? You have to wait and find out!
