Chapter 8~ The Trip Starts!
~*~*~*~*~*~
Inu-yasha saw tears in Kagome's eyes. 'aw shit…'' Inu-yasha thought to himself. Kagome sobbed and ran through the crowded bar, and out around into the ally. "Kagome!" Inu-yasha yelled after her but his voice was drowned out by the noise in the bar. "Say, have I seen you around school before?" The woman said trying to get Inu-yasha's attention back to her.
Inu-yasha glared at her "I wouldn't know." Inu-yasha said harshly and ran to get Kagome. The girl glared after him "I'm guessing it didn't go well, Kikyou." Said a man behind her. "No, it didn't Naraku, but Kouga will now come in." the woman named Kikyou said with a grin.
Kagome was leaning against the ally wall crying. 'Stupid Inu-yasha. I hate him…' all of a sudden, she heard foot steps behind her. She swung around, and saw a figure, in the shadows. Kagome sniffed and stopped crying. "Who's there?" Kagome asked cautiously. "Someone you... might know." The figure said, and took a step forward, still in the shadows.
Kagome stepped backward a few steps. "Who." She demanded. The figure stepped into the light. Kagome gasped and took more steps back. "Kouga!" Kagome exclaimed and turned to run but Kouga grabbed her shoulder. "Let go of me!" Kagome screamed and struggled to be let go. "Oh, I won't be doing that." Kouga said, his voice dripping with lust. "Inu-yasha isn't here to save you now, he's with Kikyou in the bar.
'So that's who she was I couldn't tell in the dim light…' Kagome new her, she was the popular girl at school, and the whore. Kagome struggle some more and screamed for help.
Inu-yasha practically flew out of the bar, and looked around. His ears twitching and straining to hear something. Then he heard a scream "Kagome." Inu-yasha said under his breath and ran to the ally. He saw Kagome struggling from Kouga, who had her up against the wall. "Let her go Kouga!" Inu-yasha yelled and ran at Kouga. Kagome turned her head and saw Inu-yasha running at Kouga.
"Inu-yasha!" Kagome screamed happy to see him, forgetting for the moment, the kiss she saw. Inu-yasha punched Kouga hard in the face, and sent him flying into an empty garbage can. Kouga growled and was about to charge at Inu-yasha but a voice stopped him. "Kouga, now is not the time to be wasting your energy on this half demon." Kikyou said behind him with Naraku beside her.
Kouga glared at Kikyou, but obeyed her. "We'll come back Inu-yasha." Kikyou said and turned around to walk off somewhere, with Naraku and Kouga behind her. Kagome slid down to the ground and stared at the ground with her eyes watering. A wave of sadness and guilt rushed over Inu-yasha. This was his fault. He walked over to Kagome to comfort her.
Kagome looked up at him "Why?" Kagome asked. Inu-yasha was confused "Why what?" He asked her. "Why did you kiss her?" Kagome asked miserably while a tear rolled down her cheek and fell to the ground.
Inu-yasha was about to comment on what she said about him kissing her harshly, but he caught himself. If he had said something mean, she would just get madder.
"Kagome," Inu-yasha said in the most comforting and soothing voice he could "I didn't kiss her. She kissed me." Inu-yasha explained. Kagome's expression didn't change. "That doesn't matter, it's that you let her kiss you…" Kagome said in an emotionless voice now.
Inu-yasha went silent as her words sunk in. He had let Kikyou kiss him, but why? He couldn't figure it out. "I.. I… I don't know…" Inu-yasha said mostly to himself. Inu-yasha stared at the ground. Kagome was examining his face. 'His face looks mad, but his eyes are different… usually they are cold and nontrusting… now, Inu-yasha's amber eyes… are sad because he mad me sad?'
Kagome had never seen Inu-yasha like this, and felt a little sad for him then, but he still didn't have something to say about the kiss. Kagome stood up, which startled Inu-yasha, and began walking back into the bar to find Sango. Inu-yasha, followed silently.
~~~~
Sango & Miroku
~~~~
Sango pushed her way through the bar, it was unusual that it was crowded at this time. She plopped down in a chair and thought about what to do about Miroku. Sango did have feeling for Miroku, she really did, she just didn't like his lecherous ways. 'Maybe I should let him know how I feel… he already has to me I think...' Sango remembered when Miroku had protected her from Naraku and Sesshomaru in the mall
Sango sighed, put her elbow on the arm of the chair, and rested her head in the palm of her hand. She looked from one persons face to the next, and then her eyes meet a familiar face. Miroku, he was walking toward her. Sango looked away quickly with a mad expression on her face. 'Oh, Great.' Sango thought.
'I think she really is jealous… but why? She's always mad when I grope her, so why should she get mad when I have other girls? Maybe…' Miroku was pondering over this while he walked over to Sango. He sat in the chair next to hers. "What's wrong Sango?" Miroku asked looking at her. "Nothing is wrong…" Sango said, trying to hide her depression.
"Yes, there is something. You jealous cause of those girls." Miroku said in a matter-of-fact tone. Sango looked at him, and studied his face. He was truly concerned about her feelings and had all his attention on her. "Miroku… yes… I am… because…." Sango trailed off but Miroku didn't have to know the ending to her sentence. "I love you too Sango." Miroku said coolly.
A small smile formed on Sango's face. She leaned forward slowly and stared deeply into Miroku's eyes, causing him to blush and become nervous. Sango continued to leans towards Miroku and kissed him gently on the lips. She sat back to look at him. Miroku was staring into space with a goofy look on his face. Sango sighed and looked up to see Kagome coming towards them, followed by Inu-yasha a ways behind her.
Kagome had a strange look on her face. "Uh oh." Sango said snappy Miroku out of La La Land. "Huh?" Miroku said turning around to see Kagome and Inu-yasha. Kagome walked up to Sango and put on a fake smile. "Hey! Ready to go?" Kagome said brightly. "Uh, sure, but we gotta head back to get your car and our stuff…" Sango said and looked behind Kagome to see Inu-yasha sitting by Miroku with a blank look on his face.
"Uh, oh… we gotta get to your car and somebody has to drive us home so we can get rid of these goddamn hangovers…" Repeated Sango
"Right." Said Kagome blankly. "I guess I'll drive us home." Inu-yasha said in his usual tone of voice but not with his usual expression. So they grabbed their stuff and went to Inu-yasha's car.
Inu-yasha drove a bit more slower, which surprised the rest of them, including Kagome. Inu-yasha dropped everyone off to gather their stuff. Then headed back to his house to get his things together. Everyone was supposed to walk to Kagome's and she would drive the first part of their trip. Inu-yasha got his clothes and other things like CD's into his bag quickly. Then headed to Kagome's. Miroku was also walking and he joined Inu-yasha.
"Did you two have a fight?" Miroku asked "Feh." Inu-yasha said simply and walked a bit faster trying to walk away from the question that still lingered in the air. Miroku noticed this and jogged up to Inu-yasha. "You better apologize." Miroku said knowingly. "Don't tell me what to do." Inu-yasha said roughly. They where nearing Kagome's house. He saw that Kagome and Sango where waiting by her car, talking about something.
Sango looked their way and waved. Miroku waved back and ran to them leaving Inu-yasha to walk the rest of the way. Inu-yasha didn't care or notice, he was deep in thought. There was a scream of anger and a slap sound when Miroku came to Sango. He had grouped her again, but all this seemed distant to Inu-yasha as he walked toward them. Kagome was staring at him, and he stared back.
'Why is he looking at me that way? It's weird.' Kagome thought and looked away, breaking the stare lock between them.
Sango looked at Miroku, then noticed the awkward silence, "Okay, Everybody ready?" Everyone nodded solemnly. "Okay then let's go!" Said Kagome cheerfully.
They headed for Kagome's car and got in. Everything was really quiet for about a half of an hour, until Miroku finally spoke up, "Hey let's listen to each other's favorite songs!" Kagome nodded and since it was Miroku's idea she put his CD in first. Miroku told her to turn it to number 2. The song was "Big Butts" by Mack Daddy.
"I like big butt's and I cannot lie, you otha brotha's can't deny. When a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and that round thing in your face you get sprung…" Sang Miroku with the music as Sango looked at him oddly. "Whatever." She said blankly to herself. Once that was over, it was Sango's turn; she gave the CD to Kagome. Sango told her to turn it to number 4. It was "Everything" by M2M.
"It's been, 9 days, 8 hours. 40 minutes, 10 seconds since you called, and I'm so crazy I've just about takin' our picture off the wall…" Sang Sango in her sweet melody. The song lasted forever (according to Miroku). And then it was Kagome's turn. She put in her CD; it was Michelle Branch, "Are You Happy Now?"
"No, Don't just walk away, pretending everything's okay, and you don't care about me…" Sang Kagome with soul. When it was done she asked Inu-yasha to put his in. So he did; it was Hoobastank "Crawling in the Dark". He really astounded Kagome when he sang. To her his voice was soft and strong at the same time.
"I will dedicate, and sacrifice my every, thing for just a seconds worth, before my stories ending. And I wish I could know, of the direction that I take, and all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing…" Sang Inu-yasha, as he stared out to the side of the car at the passing things. Kagome glanced back at him. He seemed transfixed on the outside. She could have sat there and stared at him with is Silver hair and amber eyes, but she had to watch the road. So she turned her head back and continued to drive.
"It's stuffy in here." Inu-yasha said. He rolled down the window and stuck his head out, his hair flying back. Reminding Kagome somewhat of a dog. He stuck his head back in. "Not enough air. Lets put down the top." Inu-yasha said dully. And looked as Kagome pushed the button for the top to come down. When the top was down Inu-yasha sat on the top of the seat, with the wind blowing full speed.
All of a sudden there was a really big gust of wind, and since Inu-yasha was on the top of the seat, the wind blew him backwards. "SHIT!!! KAGOME STOP THE FUCKIN' CAR!!!!" Inu-yasha screamed from the bar at the very edge of the car. "KAAGGOOMMMEEEE!!!!! STOP THE MOTHA FUC- AAAHHHH!!!!" Inu-yasha was abruptly cut off by the screeching of breaks, and him flying into his seat once again. Kagome hugged him tightly, almost so he couldn't breathe. "INU-YASHA! Are you okay?? Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Inu-yasha struggled to speak, "I-It's not…your", Gasp for breath, "Your fault", as he gently pushed her away from his chest. As she let go, Inu-yasha gasped and caught his breath. Miroku and Sango were in the back seat stifling laughs. But that didn't last for long. " AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" They both tried to contain themselves but couldn't, so Inu-yasha leaned towards Kagome and whispered "Step on it…"
Kagome nodded and pushed on the gas, the car squealed and sped forward. Miroku and Sango both screamed and hung on the side of the doors for their lives. "HOLY MONKEY KAGOME, SLOW DOWN!!!!" Miroku yelled and the turned to Inu-yasha, "INU-YASHA MAKE HER STOP!!!!!!" Inu-yasha laughed "Okay Kagome, you can stop now! These jerks are too scared!" and gave Miroku a one finger salute.
Kagome slowed down and smiled in the rear view mirror, then turned to Inu-yasha and smiled warmly at him. "I think there's a hotel up here about one more mile, let's go check in!" And drove off into the city to find the hotel. When they came to a stop Kagome got out of the car. "I'm gonna go see how much it is to stay for a night." And walked off into the hotel. It was really big, about 10 Stories, with windows that glistened like diamonds in the sunlight. Kagome finally came out.
"Hey! Great news, one of my friends, Yumi, works here and she said she could give us rooms," she stopped for a moment before speaking again ", unfortunately she could only give us to suites, so we're gonna have to share rooms… So we are going to have to draw sticks."
So they got 4 sticks, 2 were numbered with the number 1, and the others number 2. She got a cup, mixed the four up, and then drew her stick first since it was her idea. She cautiously picked a stick and looked at the number. Then held it so nobody could see it. Then it was Inu-yasha's turn, he picked a stick, looked at the number, then covered it. Miroku and Sango did the same.
"Okay everybody, on the count of three tell what your number is…" She paused "One…Two….Three"
