Hey so how's it going so far? I really enjoy writing this fiction and I hope you enjoy reading it.

Chapter 16: Protest

Mrs. Higurashi finished straitening up the living room for the early morning. The kids would have to go to school today. For three days now Inuyasha and Kagome had been married. Things had been going pretty well lately. Everything was definitely more peaceful and Kagome nor Inuyasha had been getting in trouble in school these past days.

Kizoku was glad to see everyone was getting along well. Though, she wasn't so happy that Inuyasha and Kagome had insisted on sleeping on the same beds. They were married, but that also left a lot of risk for them. They could end up with a baby on the way, or something like that. She was worried. They were not ready for that, by any means.

She would have to talk to them about that later.

"Hey mom." Kagome greeted as she entered from the stairs. Mrs. Higurashi looked over to her.

"Good morning dear. Would you like some breakfast?" Mrs. Higurashi couldn't help, but wonder why her daughter was soaked.

"You bet. I'm starving." Kagome sat down at the table and waited for her breakfast.

"Where's Inuyasha? He's usually down first."

"Oh..." Kagome trailed.

Flashback

Inuyasha yawned and stretched his arms up. Kagome cuddled a little closer to try and get more warmth from their now partially uncovered forms. Her pajamas were thin and not very warming.

"Get up, woman." Inuyasha ordered. Kagome mumbled something like a 'No' and just continued to cuddle. "Hey we're going to be late." He shook her a little. She continued to ignore him and we all know that Inuyasha hated getting ignored.

"Stop." Kagome said. She had stayed up watching some television show last night. So naturally she was tired in the morning.

"Get up Kagome." He continued to jostle her, so of course she become frustrated.

"Stop!"

"Get up!"

"You!"

"No, because if you're late then I will be too."

"No, I'll walk later, you can go now."

"Get real. You're not walking on your own."

"Before you came I always walked on my own." She curled up against the wall now. Inuyasha got up.

The next thing Kagome knew a pile of ice cold water was dumped all over her face and upper body.

"Eek!" She jumped up with a shiver and glared at Inuyasha. "What was that for?" Fury glowed in her eyes.

"You wouldn't get up." He crossed his arms in a 'Ha ha, I won' way. Kagome's eyes narrowed and the look became familiar. "Oh, no.."

"Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, SIT!"

THUMP x23

Inuyasha was now in complete pain and the sits echoed in his mind. He moaned. Kagome growled and stomped out.

End Flashback

"Oh... he's not ready yet." Kagome answered finally. Mrs. Higurashi nodded.

"Are you going to dry off?"

"Ah?" Kagome looked at herself. "Yeah..." She got up and headed towards the shower.

Meanwhile

Inuyasha walked down the stairs growling the whole time. His face and back were both in pain. He was only doing what was best for Kagome. She had to go and sit him until his face ached.

His bones were now soar and he slightly regretted wetting Kagome to wake her up. There was other ways that may not have caused him a sit, or 23. He would eventually have to get back at her for that.

Kagome's scent neared. She turned to walk up the stairs and at the sight of him glared. Inuyasha returned the glare and the to walked past one another without sparing another glance.

Inuyasha wasn't dressed yet. He was still drowsy and at the rate the couple were moving this morning they would both be late. How ironic... considering this morning spar.

"Oh Inuyasha, you're up." Mrs. Higurashi said. She was a little surprised at his angry look. He seemed more than annoyed with something and she couldn't quite figure out what. Him and Kagome must have had some kind of argument. She decided not to get involved. It didn't seem to serious. "Do you want something to eat? Kagome will be down in a few moments. She just went to dry herself off."

"I'm not hungry." Inuyasha said a little rudely. Kizoku was a little taken aback.

"Alright... than. A drink?"

"I'm fine." The anger in his voice was evident.

"Okay, but if you need something just ask." She returned to making breakfast. Sota would be down any moment.

After a short amount of time Kagome came down in her school uniform and was using a towel to dry off her hair. She didn't seem to angry anymore, which sort of boosted Inuyasha's hopes.

When Kagome sat next to Inuyasha, he was surprised and a little more hopeful that no more sits were on the way this day.

The Walk To School

There was plenty of tension between Inuyasha and Kagome. They were pretty much refusing to talk to one another. Both were annoyed by this long term peace. One would break the silence sooner or later. It depended on who had less patience.

"Geez." Inuyasha, of course. Inuyasha had not been wearing his normal school uniform. He rarely wore it on the way to school. He always changed in the bathroom, before school started. He hated walking around in the uniform and shoes, so he tried to wear it only when needed.

"What?"

"All I did was try and wake you up. Did you really have to sit me?" He was angry and pouting. Kagome could never deny the pout.

"You didn't have to pour water all over me..."

"I didn't want to be late, woman. I'm not dealing with Mrs. Hamada today. She's really getting on my nerves and I don't know how much longer I'll let her live."

"You can't kill her. She's a teacher. In my time you go to jail for those types of things and I already told you about jail."

"Yeah, yeah whatever." Inuyasha crossed his arms.

They arrived at the school grounds and were a little shocked at what was before them. A bunch of teachers were walking around in circles, yelling things and holding signs. Students watched.

"What's going on?" Inuyasha asked Kagome.

"A protest." She informed. The only thing Inuyasha knew about protest were that the woman did it in the past, during the woman's rights movement.

"Why? are woman taking over men now?"

"No. I think it's because they don't think the state is paying them enough. They feel it's unfair." A teacher came running over to Kagome and Inuyasha. She handed them a sign.

"Hurry we must protest." The teacher ran to another student. Kagome and Inuyasha looked at one another.

"We shouldn't get involved." Kagome said. Inuyasha held the sign up. A wicked smile on his face.

"I think it'll be fun." Inuyasha told. Kagome sighed and watched Inuyasha begin to walk with the teachers. She ran over to him.

"We'll get in trouble."

"Like that's never happened."

"It's not the same Inuyasha, we can go to jail if.." She was cut off when teachers began to break school windows. "That happens." She frowned. Moments later police arrived at the seen. "We have to get out of here." Kagome pulled Inuyasha's sleeve, but he didn't budge. He was to confused. Police were dragging teachers into cars as they tried to get away. "Come on!" Kagome still pulled on his sleeve, but was pulled off him by a policeman. Inuyasha growled.

Before Inuyasha could do anything another cop grabbed his sleeve and dragged him over to the same car as Kagome. The policeman rudely pushed Inuyasha into the car and slammed the door, locking it. Inuyasha was furious and could have easily ripped the door off it's hinges and gotten him and Kagome out of this mess, but Kagome stopped him, telling him it would get them in even more trouble.

Inuyasha crossed his arms.

At The Police Station

The cops tossed Inuyasha, along with Kagome into some cells. There were to many to all fit in one cell, so they put as much as possible in one and put the rest in a cell with some real criminals and as luck would have it Inuyasha and Kagome were put in the ones with the criminals, along with some teachers and students.

The criminals were annoyed and they couldn't help, but stare at Inuyasha's clothing and hat. He looked like he was from a LONG time ago.

Kagome shivered a little. The cold stares in the eyes the criminals beheld was more than enough to scare her. Not only that, but the criminals were familiar! Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and clasped his sleeve, holding it tightly. He looked down at her as she did this and wondered why she was so scared.

She looked up at him. Fear. Inuyasha's eyes softened. He looked around the cell and saw an empty bench. He walked Kagome over to it and sat down. She calmed down a little.

"I told you we should have never protested." Kagome said. Her hands released from his sleeve. She placed her hands gently on her legs. It was sort of chilly, especially when you were wearing a skirt.

Kagome wondered when she would be able to make a phone call and get her mom to take them out of there. They would probably let them make their calls the next day, meaning they'd be stuck in jail all day and night.

Kagome looked over at the men again. They were familiar. She just couldn't place why. She would have to think about it.

I thought it would be fun to put Inuyasha and Kagome in jail. Tell me what you think about that idea.
