((Chapter 20))
The duo arrived at the grocery store in seconds, Inuyasha insisted that he should give her a piggy-back so they could get there faster.
"He's in such a hurry…And I bet it has nothing to do with the fact that he might want to go back to the Feudal Era…"
"Is it this one?"
Inuyasha's voice snapped Kagome back out from her thoughts. The poor guy couldn't tell which one was the grocery store…
"They all look the same, how can you tell?"
"You…you just do…"
Inuyasha put Kagome down and ignored all the weird stares they received on the way here. Kagome was getting used to it. Leading Inuyasha into the store, she took another look at him to make sure he still had the cap on. Yup. He did. That's good, 'cause Kagome didn't want to explain to everyone why the heck he had dog ears.
Walking down the aisles Kagome knew so well, she looked back again to make sure Inuyasha was still following her. He wasn't. Kagome stopped. Where could he have gotten to? Didn't she tell him to stay close? Kagome walked quickly back to the last aisle she passed, nope, the next one maybe? Nope. Kagome was getting a little nervous now. Where was he? Inuyasha wouldn't just walk back out the store would he? Kagome checked the entrance and the few stores beside them just incase. He wasn't there, she lost him? Hoping with all her might that Inuyasha might still be in the grocery store, Kagome dashed back into the place. She ran to the ramen aisle and…yup. There he was. Apparently he found the stuff before she did.
"Did you get lost or something?"
"Where Were You!"
"Here."
Kagome let out the air she didn't even know she held. She tried to straighten things out in her mind… "It was just some missunderstanding…He just wanted to get here first…"
"Why.. you…" Kagome's anger bubbled out, she couldn't hold it back. " Making me worry like that about you! Don't you care? I was looking EVERYWHERE for you!"
"Uhh..?"
Inuyasha didn't see that one coming. Someone actually cared? About him? Giving her a flustered look, Inu tried to say something back to that…but he couldn't think of anything. Kagome was still standing in front of him, arms crossed and still fuming. Well, there was always that one thing…
"Hey…"
"What."
"I-…I'm sorry."
The words were spoken so softly, anyone could have missed it. But not Kagome. She heard it perfectly fine. And was a little shocked too.
" R-Really? You are?"
"Of course I am," Inuyasha was turning back to his normal self again, " why would I say something I don't mean?"
"I guess…" Kagome was smiling despite the fact that he had yelled again. Nothing could ever make her forget today. It wasn't much those 2 words, I'm sorry, but coming from Inuyasha…well it was worth a lot more.
Kagome took a deep breath and turned to look at the boxes of Instant noodles, there were a lot of different flavours now, weren't there. It has been a while since she came to the grocery store. It's changed a lot. Kagome then stole a glance at Inuyasha who was looking at the Ramen. His eyes darted back and forth from the beef flavoured ones and the seafood ones. It seemed like he was having a hard time making his decision. Kagome watched the hanyou as he concentrated on the packages. It was as if his life depended on this decision.
"Lets just get both," Kagome offered, "It would be a lot easier and save you a heck of a lot of brain power."
"Hey!"
Kagome just giggled and dumper a box of each into his arms, she then captured his free hand in hers and started to drag him to the cashier. Kagome fought back the blush that wanted to show but gripping his hand tighter. She didn't look back at his face because then she wouldn't be able to control her face. She didn't want it to go bright red.
The walk to the counter seemed to take 2 hours when it really took 2 minutes. Kagome couldn't tell whether that was a good thing or bad. After the two of them left, Inuyasha insisted they go back to Feudal Japan. Kagome knew the statement would come up sometime.
Even though she wanted to stay in Modern japan for a few more days, Kagome reluctantly followed. Inuyasha was nice enough not to complain for the past day so this could be like a little reward. But, Inuyasha still has to carry all the stuff…well it was his idea!
Kagome opened up the boxes of noodles and she could of sworn that Inuyasha's eyes widened, just a little. Or maybe she was just seeing things? While she started to empty out the box, Inuyasha stopped her.
"What are you doing?"
"Well, we arent about to take all this stuff with us back are we? What if a demon comes? We can't just carry a giant knapsack around!"
Inuyasha just pouted and said nothing more. He was still pouting when Kagome started to dump out the contents of the second box. Obviously, he didn't want any left behind. But there would be an excuse to come back home when the ramen supply was running low! That was one of the major reasons why Kagome didn't bring it all with her. Well, there was the fact that it might not even all fit but…she wanted to come home more often than twice a month!
When they left the shrine, Inuyasha was seen lugging around an over-stuffed back pack. They had filled it to the top with junk food and the sorts. There were also first-aid kits and the other necessesities. Kagome went down the well first, follwed by Inuyasha. But Inuyasha never really did make it.
The opening of the well was too small and the backpack was too big…Inuyasha got stuck in the mouth of the bone eater's well. He was just hanging there. After waiting a while on the other end, Kagome went back through time and into the future. She was about to climb out, but she realised that the usual flood of sunlight that normally greeted her return never showed up. Looking up, she saw Inuyasha hanging there. And then she did what any girl would do in this kind of situation.
Laugh.
Kagome began snickering, then she started giggling. By the end of 10 minutes, she was at the level of laughing her brains out. Why? It was because he looked so helpless, Poor Inuyasha, he was just hanging there, the bag keeping up to the entrance of the well. Climbing up the ladder that was convinently propped up aginst the side, Kagome tried to push the bag back out but it was just too heavy.
"You're too heavy Inuyasha!"
"What?"
"You're weighing the bag down! Take off the backpack!"
"Alright, but I don't see how that will help any…"
Inuyasha slipped the straps of the bag off his shoulders and landed gracefully on the bottom of the well. Actually no he didn't, Inuyasha fell and never really landed. He went straight back to Feudal Japan. After a blonding flash of blue, the hanyou was gone, leaving Kagome all alone to try and push the stubborn yellow sack back out. So far…it wasn't working.
"INUYASHA! YOU BETTER COME BACK HERE AND HELP ME!"
She didn't need to say anymore because he did come back.
"You don't need to yell so loud you know. I can hear you perfectly fine."
"Sure you can."
"I can." Inuyasha answered matter-of-factly. "I have better hearing than you."
Kagome couldn't argue against that, it was true. He did have better hearing than her, only because he had demon blood in him though! Kagome didn't say anything, she held her retort in and watched Inuyasha climb up the rungs until he was beside her. Taking one giant leap, Inuyasha raised his arm up and made his hand connect with the bag. The force of his jump sent the bag flying out back up the entrance.
"There. Can we go now?"
"And leave the bag with your ramen behind…?"
"Keh. I never said leave without the bag…"
Kagome climbed up the rest of the ladder while Inuyasha just jumped out from where he was standing. Once they were both beside the bag, Kagome started taking things back out. No, she was only taking most of the ramen out. There was just too much.
"Hey! Why are you only taking out my stuff?"
"You have arms! If you want to take them with us you carry them!"
"Keh. Maybe I will."
He bent over and gathered as many packages as he could without breaking the noodles and jumped down the well. Another blue flash later on ment that he was back and ready for another round.gathering another handful, he went back down the well and never came back. Sighing Kagome straightened everything out in her bag, making sure it will fit inside the well this time.
"Figures he only took the ramen…"
She jumped down the well and met Inuyasha on the other side. He had stacked up the noodles into neat stacks while he was waiting. Kagome gave him a look but he ignored it. When Kagome started walking towards the village without him, Inuyasha began to hurridly pick up all the items and run afetr Kagome. It didn't look like she was going to put anything back into her bag. The hanyou did eventually catch up despite the fact that he couldn't see where he was going – the noodles were stacked up over his head!
"I'm back!'
Kagome walked into the warm house and was greeted warmly by her friends. Inuyasha was still huffing behind her.
"Kagome!" The kitsune launched himself onto Kagome. He had missed her so much!
"Hey Shippo!" she gave the little boy a hug and put down her bag. Digging through its contents she finally found what she looked for, a bag of chips.
"Here Shippo, I thought you might want to try something new for a change."
For the past few weeks, Kagome had been giving the kid lollipops. She had also been getting complaints of a sigar-high demon. Not always a good thing. Luckily, he was still a kid. Someone like Inuyasha going hyper, and this village might never be the same again…
"Alright I'll try it.." Kagome opened the bag for him and he took a chip. She crossed her fingers and hoped he liked it. She couldn't help him develop his sweet tooth any further.
"What's it supposed to taste like Kagome?"
The question broke her thoughts. What flavour were the chips…? Reaching over, she flipped the package to reveal that the chips were indeed salt and vinegar.
"They're supposed to taste like salt and vinegar combined Shippo…"
"Eww! Salt and vinegar taste so bad!"
Kagom paused for a second, does that mean she should give him back the traditional lollipop?
"But…with these potato flakes…they taste soo good mixed together!"
Kagome let out the breath that she was holding. At least no one will get mad at her if Shippo get hooked onto potato chips. You can't get hyper on those…right?
((Sesshoumaru's Place))
"Mi'Lord Sesshoumaru! You have another request!"
"Great. Just perfect."
"Mi'Lord! What's wrong? I thought you liked it when we got 'business?"
"Not when it's coming in at these rates!"
It was true…ever since Kagome and Sango left on their little journey, the company has been very very busy. Requests have been piling in at the speed that the people weren't used to. Even part-timers and Janitors had to be sent out on the easier quests.
"Mi'Lord Sesshoumaru…why do think we are suddenly getting so many more…jobs?"
"Why do you think?" Sesshoumaru was getting a headache. He didn't need someone to help make it worse. "Sango and Kagome aren't here."
"But even if they were…Mi'Lord, I don't think 2 more girls can help any…"
"Those 2 more girls happen to be the only reason why this doesn't normally happen! They do their work quick enough so that other requests aren't stacking up!"
Sesshoumaru then glared at Jaken, in an accusing way. Jaken froze on the spot as would many people who received such a glare.
"Get Lost."
"E-Excuse me Sesshoumaru-sama?"
"You heard me, Get lost."
"…I'll be leaving now…"
Jaken was thinking the whole way down the corridor… "Get Lost? Is Sesshoumaru-sama implying something?"
Actually, Sesshoumaru had picked up some of Kagome's words from her era. As he re-called hearing her say that to some of the lesser employees around. If he had remembered correctly, it meant leave or go away.
"They'll catch on soon enough." Sesshoumaru said to himself, "And if they don't then…I'll have to think of something later."
-End
Chapter 20! I have no idea how long this is going to be…but I don't think it's going to be over 30 chapters…At least I hope not…I wanna start on something else!
Sry again Shadowww15!
R&R thanks!
