(don't worry, there is still going to be dancing and all that hip-hop in the future...I just like to fill in the details on the way...)
CONFESSIONS OF A BACKUP DANCER
disclaimer: i have nothing.
CHAPTER 10: the apology
"Honey, I'm home!" I always say that when I come home to an empty house.
"Ew...I hope you're not referring to your brother..."
I shot Sango a look that seemed to say 'would you ever say that to YOUR brother...didn't think so.'
We went straight to my room to shower, change, and talk.
"So, like, you didn't really talk to Inuyasha this morning; how come?" Sango asked entering the bathroom, as I exited it.
"Yea, well, what was I supposed to say to him? I mean, I like Hojo remember?" I entered my gigantic closet and started to look for something comfy to get into.
"Well you coul - SHOULD have said something, ANYTHING would've worked. I mean, now he's gonna think you don't like him and - what do you mean! You still have the hots for Hojo after last night!"
Oh, that's right. I had forgotten that he was pretty much all over me last night...
"Well..he WAS drunk...I mean we pretty much ALL were - "
"That is NO excuse," Sango came into my closet with me, "Inuyasha didn't try anything rude and he was 'drunk' too." She left to go blow-dry her hair.
Awe! Now that I think of it, it WAS very gentleman-like of him...AH! What am I saying! This was that same guy who's brother I wanted to -
Sango broke into my thoughts as we both tied up our hair, "You should really give Inuyasha a chance, I mean, he's liked you for a while now-"
"WHAT!" I dropped my sweatpants to my feet before I could get them on.
"Heh?" Sango looked baffled at my sudden outburst,"Oh, didn't I tell you?..." she slowly inched backwards a bit, remembering she probably said no such thing.
"Uh... I think I'd remember if you told me somebody I like, likes me!"
"Yea, well you wouldn't have acted the same around him if you did know. And besides, you - so you DO like him back!" she swatted me with a t-shirt before she put it on. I pulled up my pants and ran after her to the kitchen.
"You shouldn't be so clueless anyways," she finished off.
"What's THAT suppose to mean? I can take a hint..."
Sango raised her right eyebrow at me (she was very good at that...) "Oh right, of course. I TOTALLY forgot. You knew this WHOLE time didn't you," she mocked, picking up an apple and taking a gigantic bite out of it.
I blushed. Gawd, Sango really knew how to emphasize what she meant...
"Well what the hell am I suppose to do now?" I asked her, taking her apple away and having a few bites for myself.
Sango took out a couple glasses and poured some good ol' five alive in each and passed me a glass, "Well talk to him first, and then I guess I could get a few words in for you-"
There was a knock at the door.
I put my half finished glass of five alive on the table and went to go check on who it was.
I opened the door to find Inuyasha and Miroku standing there," Uh...what are you guys doing here?" was all I could come up with.
"Awe, darling, its SO nice to see you too!" Miroku squished my face together with his left hand and stalked past me, probably off to find Sango...
"Come on in," I rolled my eyes at Miroku and Inuyasha laughed and walked past me and I closed the door and followed them into the kitchen.
Inuyasha's body spray smelt really nice...cough, I mean i'm not turned on...who said that?
"Sango, dear!" Miroku acknowledged her.
Sango spat out her juice in front of her," What are you guys doing here!" she was probably paranoid cuz she had no make-up on.:O She grabbed the newspaper that happened to conveniently be nearby and started to 'read' it. Upside-down.
"Sango, no need to hide such a beautiful face," Miroku took the paper away from her and kissed her on the cheek. She turned a slight shade of pink, rolled up the newspaper and whacked it over his head before leaving the room with a, "Hey, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha took a seat at the Island we had in our kitchen and when Miroku followed after Sango, he motioned me to his lap.
I wanted to slap him, I really did; but I didn't.
He put his arms around me and layed his chin on my right shoulder. I didn't really think much of it, since we were holding each other practically all night last night...it just made me smile knowing he actually cared unlike all those guys who the next day are like 'oh...well I don't remember what happened...'
(cough i mean that hasn't happened to me before - what are you talking about...)
"Sorry I kinda didn't say anything back at your house...," I opened my mouth and THOSE words just had to come out...well that's gonna fuck me up in the long run...
"Don't be, I don't really understand what's going on myself you know."
"Well,...what are you thinking?" I asked. There was a small silence and I slapped myself over the head. seriously, never ask a guy that Inuyasha laughed then answered me, "Well, I'm thinking that I like to be around you."
I cocked my eyebrow up at nobody in particular. Was this actually Inuyasha talking to me...did I actually feel the same way...I felt like ripping my hair out. God; I think WAY too much. Being a girl sucks.Well... you know
I got out of his grasp and stood across the Island from him. I looked at him good.
We just kinda looked into each others eyes, like I can't even explain it. Like, he's a jerk, then he makes out with me in the 'kissing' booth at the riot...then Sango and I stay the night over at his house...then he comes over...somebody tell me when in GODS name he's EVER came over before.
I took an apple from the basket in front of me and took out a knife from a drawer beneath me. I looked at Inuyasha who was still looking at me. I'm so wierd, I know...but I started to cut up the apple...o). I started eating a slice. When I finished, I took a slice and started feeding it to Inuyasha. Shockingly enough, he ate it...in one bite...but he still ate it. Then he took one and started feeding it to me. I'm guessing he thought I could swallow the whole damn thing cuz he shoved it in my mouth. I choked on it and spat it out onto the floor. I looked up at him. He was either trying to contain a laugh or he had trouble breathing. I picked up the knife and smashed an apple slice with the side of it. I smushed the apple mush onto his cheek and starred at him. He licked off what he could reach, then leaned forward and I licked off the rest. When there was no more apple on him I kissed him on the cheek, smiled and headed for the living room.
That little 'moment' kinda answered all my questions. If we can be stupid together, we can be together. Random moments are what I live for, and I doubt Inuyasha has had too many in the past.
But the scene in front of me made me forget everything I was thinking. I mean if you saw Sango and Miroku making out on your couch, I think you would too.
I almost squealed my excitement, but Inuyasha came around me and covered my mouth, picked me up and went back into the kitchen. When we were safely back in there we didn't make a sound. But that didn't stop them from making any!
"Think we can top them?" Inuyasha whispered into my ear.
If I were a snowman, I would have melted. But I'm not,... so my knees gave way instead.
I gave him a smirk that I hope was as seductive as I meant it to be. Well I guess it was cuz I was suddenly pressed up against my refridgerator and Inuyasha's lips were locked with mine. I have no idea how long we were making out for, but our hands were all OVER each other. Then I pushed him up against the Island if ne1 doesn't know what that is, its like this counter in your kitchen that happens to be in the middle of everything. I remembered we wanted to 'top' Miroku and Sango, so I sent the metal basket of fruit flying onto the ground as I pushed Inuyasha on top of it. He looked stunned, but what can I say? You can't exactly just stand there when you're making out like that!
I got right on top of him after that and we started kissing somemore. I still couldn't believe it was happening, but I decided to make it count. Right when we started to get things heated up there just HAS to be an interruption! And wow, you guessed it, somebody else was at the door!
Inuyasha and I both groaned our signs of annoyance as I jumped off the counter and ran to the mirror in the hallway to fix up my hair.
When I opened the door, I think my heart sank a bit. It was Hojo.
I just stood there, staring at him. I didn't know what to say. But then he spoke.
"Uhm, Kagome...hi," he looked nervous, he wasn't looking at me directly in the eye. "Uhm, I wanted to say that I'm really sorry for what happened last night. It was rude of me and totally un-called for, and I just wanted to come by and apologize. Here, these are for you," he pushed a dozen red roses into my arms, and that's when the drama began.
If Hojo was an asshole in actual reality, I would've threw the flowers to the ground, stomped on them, spat on them a couple times, pick them up and shove them in his face. But he was the same guy that I has a huge crush on yesterday. So instead I said:
"Hojo...uhm, thanks, but I can't accept these. They're beautiful, but you're just wasting your time, and money."
He didn't seem to get that I wanted him to leave and never come back, but that was clearly not gonna happen.
"Kagome, no, I got these for you. I know this won't erase anything that I've done -"
"Kagome, who's there?" I heard voices coming from the living room.
I had totally forgotten that I wasn't home alone and began panicking. Sango came around the corner and stopped immediately when she saw who WAS at the door. Miroku ran into her, but didn't freeze up when he saw that Hojo was at the door. He blew up.
"The NERVE of you showing up here!" Miroku had his finger pointed in Hojo's direction as he stepped outside. "What ARE you doing here anyway!"
"Well I came to apologize to Kagome about my behavior last night-"
"You can't just show up now, I mean, you were a perv.," Sango abbreviated. She was standing against the door frame with her arms crossed.
Miroku started firing up again, saying God knows what. I was just standing there, shocked as ever, looking down at the beautiful flowers. Then out of nowhere, Inuyasha pushes past Sango, grabs the flowers from my arms, throws them onto the pavement, stomps on them a couple times, spits on them numerous times, picks them up and shoves them in Hojo's face. wow talk about irony...
"I want you to take your flowers, your fake apology, and your ugly face and get the hell out of here," those words that came from Inuyasha's mouth were so stern, I didn't know what to do, so I just kinda, stood there. I felt like a fool.
