Disclaimer: Not mineeee....
wk: Okay, this would have come out last week, 'cause I've been writing it since I finished the last chapter, but I didn't like it too much, so I rewrote some parts. They might clash with the old version, so please tell me if you get confused. Thanks!
Oh, and by the way: This chapter isn't very eventful either. Mostly a filler chapter. The good stuff will be next chapter, promise!
Chapter Eleven
Getting Ready Part 2
Kagome awoke to soft kisses against her eyelashes. Smiling faintly, she reached up to pull him to her mouth, not noticing something wet against her cheek.
It was slow and tender: his tongue in her mouth not invading, but inviting. She held his face between her two palms, her eyes still closed.
When Inuyasha broke away, he stared down at her sleepily flushed face, and smiled. Then pinched her.
"Ow!" Kagome cried, jumping off her bedand rubbing her side.
"That's what you get," Inuyasha said, dripping onto her bed. His whole head was wet. His hair was what she felt as he was kissing her.
"What did I do?" Kagome asked, fighting back the urge to laugh. Her lips twitching suspiciously, she huffed with her arms crossed.
"You left your smelly water right under my head. Me, being accustomed to a bed, just rolled right off and sploosh! I'm wet, awake, and wet," he growled. Kagome shrugged.
"It's not my fault you don't look before you leap."
"I wasn't even awake woman!" Kagome shrugged, her lips still twitching as she saw his dripping hair. Inuyasha glared, then sighed. He reached towards her bedside table, and she noticed the same basin she had used for her feet sitting there. It was filled with water.
"I didn't want to resort to this," Inuyasha said wryly, and before Kagome could run, shriek, hide, or do anything, Inuyasha threw the water onto her. She gaped at him through her dripping bangs, gasping as the cold water made her clothes stick to her skin and cling there.
"And I had the pleasure of dipping my smelly feet into it, too," Inuyasha said, grinning. Kagome stood there, her shocked gaze turning into a murderous glare. Her hands clenched into fists, and Inuyasha briefly wondered if this had been a good idea. Kagome advanced on him, and he had the urge to crawl into a ball and whine. "Your face will get stuck like that if you're not too careful," he drawled, pointing at her scowl.
With an angry cry, she launched herself on him. They wrestled on the bed, wetting the sheets and making the pillows damp. Inuyasha finally pinned her struggling under him, and straddled her waist. Grinning down at her, he leaned down and took her lobe into his mouth. He heard her little sharp intake of breath, and smiled, and whispered into her ear, "As much as I love tohave a tusslein bed with you, duchess, we need to get ready for the stupid ball." His hand reached under her to flatten against her back and push her upright.
"I'm not forgiving you," Kagome said as her arms went around his neck and her mouth tilted up to look for his.
"Glad to hear that," Inuyasha murmured against her mouth. When he pulled away, she was like liquid, flowing against him and shaking softly. He rubbed his hands up and down her arms, and she pulled away from him.
Her eyes widened in astonishment as she processed their positions. She was between his legs, clinging to him by the shoulders. Then her eyes widened in surprise and then in anger as she looked at the dripping walls, and the wet carpet.
"You're cleaning that up," she hissed at Inuyasha. He pulled away completely, snorting as he climbed out of her bed.
"In your dreams, wench," he sneered. Kagome's eyes narrowed.
"Excuse me?" she said lowly, which signaled the coming of her anger... again.Inuyasha wondered if he should just wring out the carpet and wipe down the walls to be over with it. As he saw the temper flash in her eyes, he grinned. Nah.
"Well, I said 'In your--'"
"I know what you said!"
"Then why ask?"
"Just clean it!"
"It'll dry on its own!"
Soon they were shouting at each other, and Kagome was out of the bed, poking her finger into his chest. Nearly broke her finger on his chest, too. Insufferable prick! Kagome thought viciously.
"Well, aren't you just a cup of sunshine in the morning?" Inuyasha asked sarcastically. Kagome growled, her teeth clicking together as she quickly thought of biting him. Rip a good chunk out of him.
She had no idea that he was doing it on purpose, to see her anger light up her face and make her rosy and flushed. His mouth was on hers the next instant, and she quickly bit his lower lip hard, before the fire took over.
"Ow!" Inuyasha cried out, pulling away and staring at her in astonishment. A drop of blood formed on his lip. Kagome instantly felt guilty but wasn't ready to let go of her temper.
"You deserved it, you butt!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha wiped the blood off with the back of his hand, his eyes narrowing.
"Wench, you are a pain in the ass," Inuyasha said. Kagome's guilt disappeared.
"I'm a pain in the… I don't think so!" she yelled. She pushed him as hard as she could, but he only staggered back an inch before locking his arms around her. Grinning down at her, he rubbed his nose against hers, then nipped it in punishment for his own pain. With a yelp and trying to bring her hand up to rub her nose, she growled at him. She wrinkled her nose, twitching. Inuyasha laughed. Then he kissed her.
Kagome felt his apology in his kiss, felt the underlying amusement. She ran her tongue over the sore in his lip in apology and he shuddered, bringing her tighter to him if that was possible. He led her to the bed, and she went willingly, neither breaking the kiss. He laid her down on it, and he was between her legs. He broke the kiss suddenly, groaning brokenly.
"Kagome, I can't keep stopping," Inuyasha said hoarsely, his words barely comprehensible. His arms loosened around her, enabling her to wriggle her own arms from his hold.
"Then don't," Kagome murmured, her hands running down his back. He lifted his head, his eyes wide. Then he groaned again.
"Kagome, don't toy with me right now," he said roughly.
"I'm not," she said reassuringly. She flicked the tip of his ear playfully, and he stiffened.
She gasped as she felt his tongue caress her throat. He nipped on the junction of her neck and shoulder, and sucked on it, drawing the mark out. He blew on it, and she squirmed underneath him. Inuyasha kissed the bottom of her chin softly, then moved to plunder her mouth.
This is it, Kagome thought wildly, her body moving up boldly to meet his.
His hand moved slowly over her breast, and she gasped into his mouth.
She still doesn't know.
Inuyasha pulled away quickly as that thought formed in his head. He wouldn't make love to her until she knew that he was doing it because he loved her, and not because he was doing it for some radio show. That's what happened in the movies, anyway. They had sex, he said he loved her, and then told her that he was doing something about her secretly behind her back. She, of course, thought that feelings and everything was staged because of the lie. He was determined not to lose Kagome over something so stupid as a radio program.
Was he going to lose her anyway when he told her?
Inuyasha refused to think about it as he felt Kagome's hand slide over his shoulder to his chest. She hugged him from behind, her forehead pressed against the back of his neck.
"What happened this time?" she asked. Inuyasha sighed.
"There's something I have to tell you. But not right now. I'll tell you tomorrow, after the ball and everything is done and over with," Inuyasha said. He turned slightly, and brought Kagome around to his lap. "And then… It's up to you," he said. Kagome stared at him, saw the dilemma behind his eyes.
"…Okay," she said slowly, if a little puzzled.
"Okay? That's all you have to say?" he asked. Kagome frowned.
"What else do you expect me to say?" she snapped. Then, more softly, "I trust you." Inuyasha winced, and Kagome noticed. "What are you hiding from me, exactly?"
"Tomorrow," Inuyasha promised. Then he drew a deep breath, and drew her stiff body up against his. "I'll tell you tomorrow."
"Yeah," Kagome said into the phone. "Yeah, I know, Myouga. Nothing will go wrong Myouga! Yes, I had Kanna send a personal invitation from me to Naraku. Yes, Myouga. I don't know how Naraku knows all the things he does, just that he does!" Kagome said into the phone angrily. Ever since she found out Inuyasha was hiding something from her, she was in an irritable mood.
Still, at least he had come out and told her he had something to tell her. He received… oh, maybe half a point for that.
Sighing, she listened to Myouga's chatter. "Yes, Myouga. Okay. Yeah, I'll be there on time. Yes, Myouga." She sighed again as she hung up.
"Is he being an ass?" Inuyasha asked from behind her, facedown on the bed. Kagome returned the phone to the bedside table, and curled up against him again. Secret or no secret, she still liked the warmth he gave her.
"Unbelievably so," Kagome said in answer to his question. He grunted and threw his arm over her waist, drawing her into his side. "What about Ayame?"
"She called last night. That's how I woke up cold and alone on the couch at midnight. I told her I would be staying the night here." Kagome pushed against him, staring at him, a mortified blush covering her cheeks.
"You told her what?" she shrieked. "She's gonna think--"
"She's going to think that I did something I wanted to do. And I did," Inuyasha murmured.
"No you didn't," Kagome blurted. Inuyasha sighed.
"Okay, so we didn't fuck--"
"Don't use that word," Kagome hissed. It was such a crude word for the beautiful union she had in mind.
"Okay, so we didn't jump each other's bones--" Kagome sighed. "--but I did get to feel you up and make out with you."
"Right… Like that's all you wanted?" Kagome asked teasingly, running a fingertip down the side of his face, then rubbed his ear.
"You keep that up and I just might enjoy myself… fully," Inuyasha said, his hand coming up to still her fingers. Kagome blew out a breath, tugging and freeing her hand.
"Well, it's not like I didn't give you permission to," she said. "You're just keeping something from me. Something that I won't like."
"Why do you think it's something you won't like?" Inuyasha asked, his brow rising. Kagome snorted.
"Only by common sense. If it was something good, you would have told me before, during, and after making love," Kagome said. Inuyasha was silent a moment, then nodded.
"You're good."
"So it's something I don't like."
"Most likely."
"Will I skin you alive?" Inuyasha wished that was all she would do. Unfortunately, she would just tear out his heart, chew it, spit it up, stomp on it, let the dogs have their way with it, and then do the worst by walking away from his dying heart.
God, he was so melodramatic.
"Most likely," Inuyasha said again tightly. Kagome sighed.
"Just tell me now and get it over with." Inuyasha shook his head.
"I don't want to ruin our evening. Besides…" he skimmed a finger to the small of her back, and traced small circles, making her gasp and press into him. Just like that, his blood turned hot, and he barely managed to hold himself back from taking her. "I want to see you in that dress."
Whoever said that he didn't have any control at all, he would blast them to hell and back for their mistaken conceptions. If he was keeping himself from having his way with Kagome on her bed while she was pliant and giving, he had better control than anyone else in this whole damn world.
He wished he didn't.
Kagome was suddenly straddling him, leaning down and rubbing her lips against his. He pushed her off roughly, making sure she landed on the bed. She didn't move from her prone position, staring up at her ceiling.
"That's some control, Mr. Inuyasha," Kagome said. Inuyasha nodded.
"I think so, too. But's it's barely hanging there. It's caught by a single… slight… thread," Inuyasha said, leaning over her. Kagome smiled up at him then pushed him away, walking to the bathroom.
"I'm going to take a shower. Then, you are going to take me and Ayame to the salon, where we'll be pampered and made up before the stupid ball," Kagome said. Inuyasha brow shot up.
"I am?"
"You surely are. You should call Ayame so she can get ready," Kagome said as she shut the door.
Inuyasha sighed, taking out his cell phone and dialing his home number. A sleepy Ayame answered, making him chuckle.
"Hello, wolf-girl," he said.
"Hello, dog-man," Ayame replied with a yawn.
"Kagome wants me to tell you to get ready. She's going to get pampered, and wants you to come with her."
"Oh, that sounds wonderful! I'll be ready soon then," Ayame said, fully awake now. Inuyasha sighed.
"I better get that damn hot water for my feet by tomorrow," Inuyasha said grumpily, pouting. Then he remembered he was going to tell Kagome his secret tomorrow. Yeah, he was gonna be in hot water then. Being boiled alive. He shuddered.
He walked into the bathroom, ignoring Kagome's shriek of indignant modesty. He didn't know why she was so outraged. He couldn't even see her outline through that dark blue shower curtain. Her head popped out, and he met her eyes through the mirror.
"What the heck are you doing in here?" Kagome yelled, her hair dripping water onto the tiled floor. Inuyasha shrugged. He grabbed a toothbrush, and showed it to Kagome.
"I wanted to brush my teeth," Inuyasha said, and squirted a good amount of toothpaste on to it.
"Get out!" Kagome wailed, and he could tell she was bouncing up and down, by the way her head moved.
"Let me brush my teeth!" Inuyasha said, sticking the toothbrush into his mouth. He brushed quickly, and glared back at Kagome, who was drilling holes through him with her intent stare at the back of his head.
"You're a pervert!" Kagome said, before her head disappeared behind the curtain again.
"It's not my fault you don't lock any doors!" Inuyasha yelled, toothpaste flying. Kagome stuck her head out again, but before she could yell at him, she started to laugh. "What?" he yelled again, more toothpaste flying. It only served to make her laugh harder.
"You look like a mad dog!" Kagome laughed gleefully, her head disappearing again.
Inuyasha growled, turning towards the mirror. And because he did look like a mad dog, he rinsed out his mouth, then clearly shouted, "I do not!"
"You did, too!" Came the tinkling laugh in the shower.
Inuyasha got a sly smile on his face, and moved towards the door. He opened it, and closed it, then slunk silently against the wall, right next to her shower. He heard it open a little, as she popped her head out to see if he was really gone. He was sitting against the wall, low so that his reflection wouldn't show in the mirror. He listened as she hummed to herself and went back to her shower.
He was going to embarrass her, and get a good look for himself while he was at it. It was the perfect plan.
Wildly, he wondered if he could control himself this time.
He knew he couldn't.
He staggered towards the door, and just about reached it before he heard her shut the water off, and open the curtain. He was still a bit sideways from the tub, so she wouldn't see him unless she looked at the mirror. He saw a slim, damp leg emerge, and his heart thundered in his ears. That slim leg was dripping water, daintily stepping onto the cold tile.
He was going to have a hard-on for the rest of his life from the image.
He nearly groaned out loud, when the rest of her emerged. She had a towel wrapped around her. She looked into the mirror as she emerged, blinked as she saw Inuyasha. She flushed, wrapping the towel tighter around herself.
Inuyasha saw her long slim legs, and they seemed to go up to her ears. Her hair was in wet tendrils around her face, her face rosy from the hot water and her embarrassment. The towel barely covered the essentials, skimming her thighs and her breasts plumped by how tight she had tied her towel.
"Oh God," he did groan, and the sound seemed to snap Kagome out of her bashful stupor. He was hit in the head by a bar of soap, and the next thing he knew, he was being chased out of the bathroom by several items, and her screams.
"You pervert!" She shrieked, coming out of the bathroom in a rage. She quickly went to her closet, and put on panties and a bra. "I thought you left! What if I hadn't put a towel on the rack inside of the shower?"
"That's what I was counting on," Inuyasha muttered outside, tightly.
She stormed out, wearing tight jeans and a large sweater. "You butthole! You jerk! You pervert!" she fumed. "Peeping Tom! Doo-doo head!"
"Doo-doo head?" Inuyasha repeated incredulously.
"Poo-face!" Kagome ranted on, until Inuyasha caught her wrist and pulled her sharply down into his lap. She struggled, growling ferociously before he groaned again. She froze, her gaze going to his face.
"Please… Don't move for a second," Inuyasha said in a strained tone. Kagome obeyed, her eyes wide. Inuyasha took a deep breath, then another.
He nibbled her lower lip, pulling it with his teeth before moving her away from him.
"That was the sexiest thing I've ever seen," Inuyasha said, a shudder going through his body. Kagome remained silent, staring at him from her spot.
Inuyasha's face became hard, his mouth becoming a thin line.
"Let's go. I don't think we can remain alone for the rest of the day," Inuyasha said tightly. Kagome nodded, but her eyes glanced down, towards the crotch of his jeans. Blushing furiously, she turned her head quickly away.
"Maybe we should at least wait until you've… ah… calmed down some," Kagome muttered. Inuyasha looked down at himself, a bit amusedly.
"Think I can use your shower for a cold one?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome shrugged, and despite herself, found her mouth watering from the image in her own head. It was amusing to think that only a few weeks ago, she had been adamantly against him getting naked anywhere near her. Now she was ready to join him.
This painful longing had to end soon. He was the one that started this darn relationship, so he better finish it, by God! She had never known sexual frustration could be such an acute torture.
Inuyasha went into the shower, groaned as he saw the shower. Maybe he should've just used his own. He quickly stripped off his clothes, stepped into the shower, and snapped the water to cold. He shivered as he felt the icy blast of it against his skin. Still, it managed to calm him, and he sighed.
He didn't know what he was going to do after she walked away. Sleeping with another woman was out of the question now. He wasn't even remotely attracted to any other woman the way he was to Kagome. So this was it. He would have to live a life of celibacy.
Oh Lord. How depressing.
He stepped out quickly, drying himself off and was about to step back into his clothes when he blanched. Did he have to use the same underwear?
He wrapped the towel around his waist, and walked out.
Kagome felt her breath strangle in her lungs, and her legs give out from underneath as she sat hard on the bed. Her heart had stopped beating, she was sure of it.
He was a fine male specimen indeed, Kagome thought a bit bemusedly. Now she knew how he felt when he saw her.
"Do you think you can buy me some underwear?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome blinked at the odd question. "I forgot I didn't bring any with me."
Kagome nodded slightly, wondering if there was actual drool running down her chin. She mentally picked her jaw up from the floor, rolled her tongue back up, and tore her eyes from his body. When she looked up at his face, she saw that he was smirking. Scowling at him, she grabbed her keys and walked out.
They arrived at Inuyasha's apartment to find Ayame waiting for them outside.
"What took you guys so long?" Ayame asked, climbing into the back seat of Kagome's silver car.
"I needed clean underwear," Inuyasha drawled. Ayame's eyes narrowed, and her nose twitched.
"But you didn't…"
"I took a shower there," Inuyasha explained. Ayame nodded as understanding dawned. She snickered then.
"So you guys didn't do the dirty-dirty?" Ayame asked. Kagome blushed, her hands tightening on the wheel.
"'Fraid not," Inuyasha said, leaning back. "Although we both got a good eyeful."
"Inuyasha!" Kagome moaned, unable to believe he was really telling his niece these things.
"Okay, okay, I'll stop," Inuyasha said, grinning. Kagome drove to a nearby spa, and walked in with Inuyasha and Ayame. Inuyasha blinked as he saw Miroku and Sango in the corner.
"Oy!" He called to Miroku. He had cucumber slices on his eyes, and he carefully peeled them off, leaving round circles for his eyes amongst the green goo that covered his face. He had a towel wrapped around his head turban style.
"Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, and grinned. Kagome looked bewildered.
"This is my… uh… roommate, the one I told you about," Inuyasha said. Sango peeled her cucumber slices off as well, peering at Inuyasha. "What the hell are you guys doing?" Inuyasha asked, eyeing Miroku's white women's robe, and the green goo dripping onto it.
"Myouga didn't tell you? He invited us, too," Miroku said. He turned to Kagome. "You must be Kagome. Inuyasha speaks of you a lot." He sat back down and placed the cucumber slices back onto his face. "You know, this is really relaxing," he murmured. Inuyasha shook his head.
"You're a freakin' weirdo. Oh, the girl over there is Sango," Inuyasha said to Kagome. Sango peeled one slice off, and said hello to Kagome. Kagome laughed, shaking hands with her.
"Interesting friends you have," Kagome said to Inuyasha, gesturing to Miroku.
"I never knew women had it so well!" Miroku was saying enthusiastically from his prone position. A few women came and lifted his feet to dip them into water as they treated him to a pedicure. "Inuyasha, you should try this!"
Inuyasha snorted. "Yeah, he's weird all right. Sango's sane, though," Inuyasha said.
Sango peeled off a cucumber slice to agree with Inuyasha, when she noticed that Miroku's cucumber slices were off, and he was ogling some of the working ladies. The next thing they knew, the workers were trying to appease a mad Sango, and a helpless Miroku with a red cheek and a swollen eye.
"I don't know why I ever agreed to go out with you!" Sango yelled, and Kagome blinked at the information.
"It's because you love me, Sango dearest-- Ow!" Miroku dodged her elbow narrowly, twisting in the chair while the one who had been doing his pedicure barely missed being kicked.
"Yeah, um… Okay… Never mind," Inuyasha said slowly. "On second thought, I don't know you guys, and you don't know me."
"Now, now… Inu dear, you know you love us," Miroku said, grinning although his swollen eye looked painful. Kagome winced as she looked at it. Sango noticed the flinch, and sighed.
"It'll be gone by the end of this afternoon. He's used to it by now. If you notice him staring at any body parts of yours, or his hand wanders to certain body parts of yours--"
"He'll be sporting another purple eye," Kagome said fiercely, making Miroku wince.
"Ah… Nothing like a lady's love," Miroku said wryly. He sat back, and placed the cucumber slices on his face again.
"Nothing like my...er… feelings," Inuyasha said, making sure he didn't say the word love. Kagome felt the pain flash through her, but didn't say anything. "You touch Kagome, I'll tear off your hands, give them as souvenirs to each of these ladies here, then tear off your feet and make you eat them." Miroku paled.
"Nothing like Inu's love," Miroku said a bit shakily. Inuyasha nearly corrected him for saying "love," but an employeeinterrupted him.
"Do you want the same treatment?" A woman asked. Kagome nodded, ignoring the hurtful feelings Inuyasha had caused.
"One for me, the other young lady, and dare I say… Inuyasha?"
"Hell no!"
"Okay, just for us two, then."
They were dressed in white robes and led to two chairs that were facing Sango and Miroku, and they were directed to lie back on it. They were soon covered with green goo, their own cucumber slices placed carefully on top of their eyes.
Inuyasha sat in a waiting chair, jiggling his leg impatiently. Now why didn't he bring a book?
It was almost an hour later, and Kagome, Ayame, Sango, and Miroku had quickly become the best of friends. Inuyasha was sleeping on the couch.
"You know, Inuyasha really does talk a lot about you," Miroku said. "He talks about you nearly everyday." Kagome was lit with a inner glow at the information.
"Really? Whatever he says are lies, I promise," Kagome said.
"So you're not a sexy chic that has a promising attitude and a sweet little ass--" Miroku cut himself off as Sango gave him a warning look. Kagome laughed.
"Okay, maybe not all he says," Kagome amended jokingly, unaware that they were talking about something entirely different.
"You're horrible!" Sango hissed at Miroku. Miroku shrugged.
"She has the right to know," Miroku whispered back. Kagome watched the interaction, although she couldn't hear what was being said.
"Something wrong?" Kagome asked. They both turned to her, shaking their heads. The green goo had been wiped off of everyone's faces, and Ayame sighed in contentment.
"You know, this is a wonderful vacation before I start college," Ayame murmured.
"Mm…" They all agreed.
"I hear from Myouga that you invited everyone in the company," Miroku said. "How are you planning to fit them all in one building?"
"I'm not," Kagome said, then explained. "Most of the employees won't show up. They'd rather take the time off for their families. In fact, Myouga had a meeting with every employee, telling them that he'd rather they spend time having fun, rather than at a drab, stupid party. Most agreed enthusiastically.
"I see. Myouga's smarter than he looks," Miroku said. Kagome looked at him, surprised.
"You've seen him before?"
"In a picture Inuyasha has in his wallet. I've talked to him over the phone plenty of times," Miroku replied. Kagome nodded, and sat back, looking down at her perfectly cared-for toes.
"Well, it's time to go do the hair now, ladies. After that, the men go ahead and wait for us at the party," Kagome said. Ayame sighed wistfully.
"I wish I had a man to go with," Ayame said. Kagome chuckled.
"You will soon enough. If Inuyasha doesn't shred him to pieces."
"That's the problem. I need someone who isn't afraid of Uncle Inu," Ayame said wryly. Kagome sighed.
"Where to find such a brave and foolish man?" Kagome murmured.
"Well, I could be--"
"They weren't talking to you, Miroku!"
Kagome and Ayame watched Sango drag Miroku outside.
"They're dating?" Ayame asked again. Kagome shook her head, shrugging.
They both went to wake Inuyasha up, who wasn't happy to be woken up.
"What took so damn long?" he tried to yell while yawning.
"We were getting ready. It takes time, Inuyasha," Kagome said haughtily. It was so unlike her that Ayame and Inuyasha both started laughing.
"Oh, please, duchess," Inuyasha laughed out. "You would rather die then to receive all that pampering for a low price. The only reason why you tip them so much is because you feel guilty to feel nice." Jackpot. Kagome winced inwardly.
"Well, anyways," she said hastily. "Let's go get our hair done now. I'm sure Miroku has a lot to do with that mop of his."
"Wow, you've bonded with him that quickly? Quickly enough to start insulting him?" Inuyasha asked, his brow raising.
"We had some girl time together. The man knows his female ideologies," Kagome said as they walked out after paying.
"I'm sure he does," Inuyasha mumbled. They all went in Miroku's SUV, so that it would save gas. It was a midnight blue, and high off the ground. Inuyasha had to help Kagome into the seat above.
They went to a hair salon of Sango's choice, since she said she knew a superb place. And it was. It wasn't all that expensive either.
By the time all their hair was done, Inuyasha and Miroku were both sleeping against each other.
Kagome blew a tendril of hair out of her face. "Well isn't that sweet. I do believe we have some competition, Sango," Kagome said. Sango laughed, then shoved Miroku's leg with her toe. He snorted, then came to. When he was awake, he made a disgusted noise and shoved Inuyasha on to the floor. Inuyasha, with his good reflexes however, saved himself some of the pain, looking wildly around. He calmed down, sitting on the couch again.
"You girls are just too much time," Inuyasha said, his hand going to his temple. "Just a huge waste of time." Before Ayame and Sango could do anything, Kagome gave Inuyasha a cold look and whisked out. Cursing colorfully, he lurched to his feet, still not fully awake.
He followed Kagome out clumsily, noticing that the wind was playing with her sexy hairdo.
"Kagome," Inuyasha said slowly. Kagome turned a bit, giving him a freezing look. It was colder than the crisp night air. He shivered. "I didn't mean that directly at you. I was just joking." She relaxed.
"So you didn't mean that I'm just a waste of your valuable time?" Kagome asked scathingly, although the fight had already left her. She trusted that he was telling the truth. If he were tired of her, he would have left her already, right?
"Right. I just meant that I lost some sleep last night, since somebody left me on the cold, lonely couch," Inuyasha teased, drawing Kagome into the warm circle of his arms. "Forgive and forget?"
"Forgiven and forgotten," Kagome replied, touching her lips to his. "I just don't know where I stand with you. You need to tell me these things. It's not like I'm exactly experienced in this matter," she muttered into his throat.
He tilted her chin up, gave her a long, thorough kiss that had her newly done hair curling. "That's where you stand with me," Inuyasha murmured. At least until tomorrow. Then I won't know where I stand with you.
"How nice," Kagome murmured back.
"Look at that dear," Miroku's voice said. "Isn't it nice to see the young people just get it on in the cold, dark night?" A pause. "You wanna-- Oof!" Sango's elbow went into Miroku's midriff.
"Fuck off, Miroku," Inuyasha growled, relinquishing his hold on Kagome.
"I would be happy to, if only Sango--" A slap resounded, and Kagome was laughing at their antics.
"You perverted--"
"Does this remind you of a scene we had today?" Inuyasha asked Kagome, grinning. Kagome huffed, crossing her arms.
"Now that isn't exactly forgiven or forgotten," she said. Inuyasha laughed, drawing her back into his arms again. It felt so right to have her there, pouting up at him with her eyes laughing.
Before he could kiss her, she drew away, her eyes twinkling.
"Now you guys have to drop us off and go to the dance after you've danced. It's Myouga's thing. Something about finding a long lost love," Kagome said. "It's the theme of the ball."
"What about me?" Ayame wailed, her lower lip sticking out in a comical gesture. Kagome laughed.
"It'll be like speed-dating. Whoever doesn't have a date, you get to pounce on," Kagome said. She gave a sly look at Inuyasha. "Maybe I should--"
"Don't even think it, wench," Inuyasha growled. Even the hint that she would look at someone else the way she looked at him made him see red.
They all piled into the car again, and roared off. Ayame, Sango, and Kagome all shrieked when Inuyasha started to lower a window. He gave them a startled look.
"What?" Inuyasha asked.
"You'll mess up our hair!" All three yelled. Inuyasha's ears flattened, and he quickly raised the window.
"Okay, okay…" he muttered, sitting back sullenly.
Miroku dropped them off, and Inuyasha tried everything under the sun to try to come too. He tried for as long as Sango went to the trunk to retrieve her own dress. Honestly, he was dying with curiosity. Kagome hadn't let him see her dress. Not even a glimpse.
"Damn her," Inuyasha seethed as Miroku drove away from the parking lot.
"You'll get to see her at the party. You spend nearly every waking moment with her anyway," Miroku said. Inuyasha scoffed.
"Not nearly enough. I spend half the day working," Inuyasha said. Miroku shook his head.
"If someone told me a month ago you would be obsessively in love with a girl, I would have laughed myself sick after spitting in the person's eye for the obvious lie," Miroku said seriously. Inuyasha shrugged. So he was obsessively in love. His life was split into two categories: Pre-Kagome and Post-Kagome.
"I want to see the fucking dress," Inuyasha whined. Miroku gave a grin.
"Sango let me see hers. In fact, she modeled it for me before we--"
"Don't go there!" Inuyasha said, his hands going over his already-flattened ears. "I do not want to hear about your sex life!"
"Oh. Well. I was going to say before we went out to eat, but I see someone's mind is in the gutter," Miroku said, smirking. Inuyasha glared at him.
"Puh-leeze. You were going to talk about your sex life, you damned pervert. Don't think I don't know you." Miroku shrugged.
"So maybe I was, maybe I wasn't. We're at your place," Miroku said hopping out. He went to his trunk, taking out the box that held his tuxedo.
"This thing cost a bundle," Miroku said lovingly, stroking the box. Inuyasha shuddered.
"So did mine. And I don't even remotely like it. By the end of tonight, it's going to be shredded."
"What's the brand?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha thought, not remembering.
"I dunno." They went into his apartment, and Inuyasha went to get his own box, stashed in his closet for safekeeping. They both went into their own respective rooms, changing into the extravagant clothes. Inuyasha emerged, the first button of his shirt undone, and the jacket over it tucked back behind his arms as he kept his hands in his pockets. He had no tie, and his collar was up. Miroku came out a few minutes later, his tie perfectly tied and everything tucked in nicely and immaculate. Inuyasha stared.
"Are you sure you're not homosexual?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku rolled his eyes.
"Sango taught me how to tie the tie," Miroku said. Inuyasha's eyebrows shot up.
"Sango knows how to tie a tie?"
"How much wood can a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Miroku stated in a sing-song-voice, and eyed Inuyasha. Gasping, he grabbed a sleeve. "Yours is Armani? No wonder it cost you a bundle! I would have had to clear out my credit cards and my bank account to buy this one!" Miroku shouted. Inuyasha tugged his sleeve back and shrugged carelessly.
"It was stupidly expensive, but Kagome like this one the best," he muttered, and winced. Even he sounded whipped to his own ears. Miroku didn't seem to notice. Well, duh. Miroku was Sango's bitch, as far as Inuyasha was concerned.
"I got something for Kagome, too. You better not laugh," Inuyasha warned as he went back into his bedroom. When he had found the time at the mall, while the girls had been in the dress store, he had gone shopping himself in secret. He had bought a beautiful set of diamond earrings, and a long diamond necklace with a flaring black stone on the bottom. He had to dip into his bank account quite a bit for it, but he had enough money. All the money he had earned had gone straight into his account, only keeping money for essentials, such as food and bills. That's why he was living in an apartment when he could have been living in a fairly large house. He believed in saving money, something his half-brother and his father had taught him.
Thinking about his family made his nose crinkle. His father and mother had died, when Inuyasha was three. He remembered his old man telling him to put his money in a wise place all the time, since people always took advantage of their own money and ended up with nothing in the end.
He eyed the large, flat box he held as he walked out. Well, he would end up with nothing because of this. If this didn't prove his love to Kagome, he didn't know what would. He supposed he was sucking up a bit before he broke the news to her.
Hey, Kagome, here's some gaudy jewelry. I love you. I lied to you. He winced in his own head.
"What the…" Miroku trailed off as Inuyasha held out the box. Miroku took it silently, and his eyes widened as he opened the box. "Jesus, Lord, God, Buddha, Allah, Shiva, Zeus…" Miroku murmured. Then his eyes narrowed. "You're looking to kill me," Miroku said. Puzzled, Inuyasha just stared at Miroku.
"This... isn't for you," Inuyasha said slowly. Miroku glanced at him, scowling.
"I know it'snot for me, but I have to match this to Sango? Unbelievable," Miroku muttered. Inuyasha laughed, taking back the box, closing it. "She'll jump your bones."
"That's what I'm hoping for," Inuyasha drawled, the corner of his mouth going up. Miroku laughed, clapping a hand to Inuyasha's shoulder.
"My God, Kagome… Where were you hiding that body?" Ayame asked, as Kagome walked out of the bathroom blushing. Her blush went all the way down to her chest, which Sango and Ayame could both see because of the low cut dress.
"How could you tell which side was the back and which was the front?" Sango asked, eyeing the silky material. It really was exquisite though. It wasn't skimpy, not the way where it barely covered the nipples and left little to the imagination.
"You know, I really don't know," Kagome muttered, fingering the bottom of the back of the dress. The pieces over her breasts were wide, covering everything except the inside, where the slit went down to the bottom of her chest. Then it was tied at the back of her neck, and the rest of the dress was long, the slit on the side showcasing some of her slim legs. It was long though, and Kagome had to hold it.
"Damn, Kagome… Why were you bashful about that?" Ayame asked, going into the bathroom for her turn to change. "It's beautiful. And it's not like you have overly large, sagging boobs," she said from behind the door.
"Thanks," Kagome mumbled.
"It really is beautiful," Sango said next to Kagome. "Who's the designer?"
"Nanami," Kagome said, feeling a burst of accomplishment. People were going to ask about the dress and she was successfully going to advertise it for Nanami. It was the least she could do for the old lady.
"I've never heard of her," Sango said. She fingered Kagome's dress. "I should go check it out," Sango murmured. Kagome smiled brilliantly.
"You should!" Kagome said emphatically. "Just wait until you see Ayame's! Hers is just perfect." As if on cue, Ayame stepped out in all her splendor, grinning in heels. Winking and blowing a kiss as some of her curls bounced, she looked like a fun, green fairy, in a very sexy dress.
"Definitely gonna have to go see her," Sango said.
Ayame twirled around, grinning. "This feels great! I've never worn a dress like this!"
"Yes you have… In the dressing room at Nanami's," Kagome said. Ayame stuck her tongue out at Kagome.
"I mean to a formal occasion, dummy," Ayame said.
"Well, you only got it a few days ago," Kagome said. Ayame shrugged, fingering the strap of her dress.
"Okay, my turn," Sango said. She swept into the bathroom. Ayame and Kagome joked and chatted as they waited. Kagome also donned the gloves while they were waiting.
Sango came out, and Kagome and Ayame turned their heads to look.
Sango was in a sleeveless dress, and the dress stopped midthigh. Self-consciously, she tugged on it. There were slight slits on the sides, and Sango also had heels that made her legs seem impossibly long.
"Miroku's going to die," Kagome muttered. Sango blushed.
"Actually, he's already seen me in this dress," Sango said. Kagome's brow lifted, as Sango's blush deepened.
"I… see," Kagome said slowly, and did. They all grabbed wraps the color of their dresses more or less, to ward off the chill from their arms.
They climbed into Kagome's car, all of them laughing as they stumbled in heels. Except for Ayame. She seemed like she was born in them, walking and even running in them effortlessly. Sango and Kagome only watched enviously.
They drove to the ball, finding a parking space that was unfortunately, far from the entrance. They walked through the chilly winter night, all of the shivering and rubbing their arms as they walked in. But it gave them a rosy look, and their hair sexily tossed. Somebody there took their purses into a small room, so they were left with free hands.
As they walked through huge double doors, they looked down. It was a grand staircase, going down on each side to the ballroom below. It was like out of a fairy tale. It looked like Cinderella's prince's palace, and Kagome felt like Cinderella as she stood at the top of the stairs and looked down. She was going to meet her prince. Again.
She started down, Sango and Ayame on each side of her, all of them holding onto each other's arms so that no one would trip in their heels. They laughed as they went down, unaware of all the eyes on them, unaware of the three blistering pairs of eyes.
wk: Yay! Chapter eleven is done! And I'm a quarter done with chapter twelve, too! Although since Christmas break started, I might not have enough time to finish it, because I'm working everyday except for Christmas. And... uh... Christmas is family time, so no time there, either. Sorry folks! I will try to finish it before Christmas, but no guarantees.
Now for...
ReViEw oF rEvIeWs:
Haha, well, Daddy's Pixie, anyone's very high in my book if they were able to get up at 5 in the morning voluntarily. And hooray for your ungrounding! Strangely enough, I'm grounded, but not from the computer (Thank the lord!) And I think I passed my classes... At least I better have, if I want to live to see January. And I thought Inuyasha just coming out and telling her the lie was more his style rather than sneaking around. Good or bad? Give me your opinion, please! And Merry Christmas!
I don't care that you didn't review before, XxDemonic-PrincessxX! Just as long as you read it. (Winks) Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Merry Christmas!
No, I didn't give up, shaid. How could I give up a story where my readers are so convincingly supportive? And Ayame will meet Kouga soon. VERY soon. As in, next chapter soon. Kind of inevitable, considering they'll be at the same party. And I love your version of Inuyasha telling the people that he really doesn't deserve her love, but he has it anyway. But yeah, I'm too lazy to change it now. Maybe when I go through and edit, if I'm going to edit after I'm done with the story. And I'm glad you have such an open mind. This chapter I didn't like as much, and I'm not too sure why. Maybe I'll figure it out later. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, emerald ash! I don't like abortion either. (Sighs) But so many women agree with it. I just know that even if I was raped, I couldn't kill anything that was my own flesh and blood. It's murder in my eyes. And after I saw the pictures of partial-birth abortions... Let's just say I'm adamantly against it. And yes, Ayame will meet Kouga. Next chapter, in fact, unless I change it. For some reason, I don't like the next three chapters I have written out. Yes, I have written out the next three chapters, so I'm hoping to get them out relatively quickly, but I might change them up a bit... (Grimaces) I hope you like the way Kagome's going to find out. I figured the version of Inuyasha I have will be more straight up and blunt about it. Give me your opinion! Sorry for the wait. Merry Christmas!
Yeah, I've heard of the book, Corner Girl. In fact, I have it. When I started writing this though, I didn't even think about it. I just heard on the news about Howard Stern, and then I think a plot just formulated in my itty bitty brain. Hopefully, this story is different than A Voice on the Radio. And I had exams too... They KILLED me. Urgh. I should be dead now. Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much, ChibiKenshin6490! Glad you think so! I'm really against abortions, and I really don't see how people can agree with it. Close-mindedness, I suppose. I hope you like the way that I'm going to bring out the Inuyasha's secret. Although I do have to have a traditional twist to it. (Grins evilly) Merry Christmas!
Thanks, inulova4lyfe! You're a good reader! Merry Christmas!
I'm so honored that you consider this to be your favorite, Sunrider22! Although with the next three chapters, your opinion might change. For some reason, this chapter and the next three chapters don't appeal to me. Yes, I have the next three written, so I'm hoping for speedy "outtages", but... I might have to change it up a bit. (Sighs) I'm so picky. And Nanami is a perfect version of my grandmother too. She puts her foot down, that old lady does. I love her. Haha, no, Ayame won't do the howl thing. I put that there because that's how wolves find their mates, and I figured she should have some of the same urges wolves do, being a wolf-demon and all. And it should say how old Ayame is in a previous chapter (I forget which) how old she is, in human years. I think she's twenty-something, in human and demon years, because they age at the same rate humans do until they hit a certain age. Ages vary between different demons, and so on and so forth. And I hope you like how I'm having Inuyasha tell her. With how I wrote Inuyasha in the story, I figured he would be elusive about it, but still tell her straight up. But I will have something like you wrote in your review. And don't worry. You'll have the HORRIBLY-TWISTED-TABLE-TURNING-EVENTS soon. I hope my review for your review is long enough. Merry Christmas!
I tried to put more fluff in it, just for you, Keiko89! Hope you liked it! (Winks) And at first, I was going to have a bit of citrus, and I probably will, but nothing too explicit. There are younger people reading this. Thanks for the enthusiasm though! Lovin' it! Merry Christmas!
Well, sapphire pink, I had a review asking me to talk about it, and give my opinion, so that's where that came from. Besides, in some previous chapters, Inuyasha said he was going to talk about it. Kinda random, but not too much. Hope you liked it anyway. Merry Christmas!
This isn't the longest chapter, but I did take some time on it. Sorry! I was actually done last week, but I had to change some stuff around. You know how it is, right, o0 DaRkNeSsEz PuRiTy 0o? And yeah, Kagome's smart, but... for example: There are some things that if you look for it, you'll find it, but if you don't look, you won't find it until it comes out of hiding. Well, I decided to have it come out of hiding with Inuyasha's help. Is that good, or bad, do you think? I figured Inuyasha was more open in this story. More blunt, anyway. Tell me if you like! Merry Christmas!
Saiyou The Lover is never beaten! Even if you review once, you're treasured in my eyes. As long as you read the story, I don't mind. (Smiles) And here's my update! Merry Christmas!
Well, I won't be sorry then, Angel of Diamonds. But it was a good suggestion, and I loved it. And you'll see how he reacts in the next chapter. (Insert evil laughter) And I'm glad this is one of the more original ones. That's what I was aiming for when I started it. Thanks so much for reading! Merry Christmas!
I figured I should put more Miroku and Sango in it, so I had them go to the ball too. Like or no like? And yes, the dress was designed in my head. I'm considering becoming a designer as my future career. Look for my label! (Winks) Oh, and Inuyasha might be a bit more mellow. I'll explain in the next chapter. If I don't, ask, and I'll explain in my review of your review, drake220. Thanks so much for reading! Merry Christmas!
I updated, Disoriented Mind!
Yeah, this isn't too eventful either. I think my head is mushy right now, and I just can't think "action" right now. I apologize for that, sleep walking chicken and HAP. Hope you liked this update. Merry Christmas!
Haha, it makes sense, but my mind is anything but organized, Mizo Sakura. Hope you weren't bored with your computer this time, too. And I hope this chapter wasn't too detailed, although I did go a little more in depth. Not too much, but yeah. I figured I had underage readers, so I kept it R. It'll remain R in the future, too. And yes, I know abstract x heart! Can't believe families are getting into this story together. (Happily smiles)And yeah, I noticed some R-rated stories are better. Oh well. Hopefully, they warn readers of lemons, or something. And dragons are cool! I put more fluff into this one. Hope you liked it! Merry Christmas!
Hehe, that's what I'm hoping for, NefCanuck. He's going to take his lumps (He'll have a lot of them, I'm sure). Well, this was the next chapter, and I hope you enjoyed it. Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much! It's so flattering that you think my work is worth something, Nyehaan. And you're lucky, having two New Years. I want two New Years! Oh well... (Sighs) Merry Christmas! ...Again!
Thanks so much for loving this story, Silver Rain Drops! And I try with the grammar. Glad to know you're hooked as a fish on a hook... Really repetitive, but oh well. And Miroku and Sango are already hooked up, as you can see from this chapter. I just never went into depth with them, a mistake on my part. Whoops! And I would be honored if you told other people about my fic. Sounds corny, but it's true. I feel really blessed to have such avid readers. And it's fate that your birthday is the publish date of this story. (Winks) Thanks again! Merry Christmas!
Hehe, thanks, Esther Tan! You're such a faithful reader! And yeah, Inu would definitely get pissed, but that's for the next chapter. And I'm kinda having Cupid shoot Kouga a little earlier. Great suggestion though! Maybe with another story...! (Smiles evilly) And Inuyasha will get with Kagome soon. And Sesshoumaru will appear soon. I have his arrival all planned out. Wow, so many questions! I guess I've been neglecting my readers and their need for information! And I need to have Inu pissing on Naraku more on the air, I just can't think of another way to do it. I said all I had to say the last time, and I need to think of another way. Don't worry! I'll make it happen! And of course I would answer the reviewers. Neglect and ignorance is never the answer to anything! Besides, I would want the author I'm writing to, to write back to me with a reply, you know? And I completely agree with the relationship bit. He's not lying. He's just witholding some information. Whoops.And you're one of my most faithful readers! Thanks so much! I hope you getLOTS ofpresents!Merry Christmas!
Thanks, code-wyze. I appreciate the information. Maybe I'll fix it when I edit it and all. But you have to admit, chocolate can be very addicting, too. But don't you lose motor control when you get sleepy? Hm... Maybe I switched up crack/cocaine with marijuana. Anyways, like I said, I might fix it when I go through and edit the story. Thanks again! Merry Christmas!
Well, xXloveablekdXx, I get it from within the dark recesses of my insane little mind. Hope you don't mind. I just go through everyday life and have the same problems most people do, so some of them come from my own life. And Kagome will find out very soon. I hope you like the way of how she'll find out. I thought her finding out and getting all huffy about it was a little too cliche. Oh well. Maybe that's just me. Merry Christmas!
Nah. Inuyasha's not really a specialist for anything, hibi. (Chuckles) Except for maybe in flirting. With Kagome. And the child isn't evil... Just the father. I once read a book where the mother was raped andwanted to get an abortion, and was going to put the kid up for adoption after he was born, but when she looked at his face... She just couldn't do it. Somehow, I know Kagome would be the same way. It doesn't matter your genetics, just what you do with them. Wow, I'm so sappy. It must be the Christmas season. Speaking of... Merry Christmas!
Yeah... I didn't really explain it very well, did I, Baby Bear? Well, if I remember to (I just have absolutely the most horrid memory) I'll try to put an explanation of how demons are treated. Glad you liked the story though! Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
Wow, everyone is just getting grounded, aren't they? I got off grounding too (Not on the computer, thank God, just on the phone), and it was awful. I couldn't talk to any of my friends. I didn't update ASAP, but I hope you liked it all the same, Miztical-Dragon. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, Iced Faerie! Merry Christmas!
Wow. Actually, to be perfectly honest, I never even thought that, silentslayer, but that's a GREAT idea! I'm definitely going to use it! Thanks so much! Shows that authors need help too, every once in a while. (Winks) THANKS SO MUCH! Merry Christmas!
I'm so glad it rocks your socks, WiCKeD ScHmoNesS! And soda is good for your health. (Grins) Of course it isn't, but... Oh well, this is no time for logic! Merry Christmas!
Hehe... Done it a few times myself, Leni. Mwaha... They were definitely joyful experiences. Well, if you count dunking your friend's in the fountain as "joyful". Schucks, I should have put that in the chapter! Ohhh well. Maybe when I go through and edit. And I made Nanami very forceful. I'm sure Inuyasha enjoyed that experience. Merry Christmas!
I completely agree. It's completely silly not to do what you want. But, in their case, the horizontal mambo is out of the question right now 'cause Inuyasha says so. What dog-boy says is law (Not really). Hehe, they'll get to do what they want later on, don't worry! And yes, I am evil. Glad you figured it out, Tenshi Koneko. But I might have to kill you now. Maybe after Christmas break. Merry Christmas!
I'm afraid I updated a little late, Ryuu no Taiyo. And I have many of those "strange girly moments". They're exciting. Kinda. (Sighs) And this lazy author ass is busting its own lazy ass for not updating sooner when it had it done, but work has gotten in the way, along with some social obligations with friends... AND Christmas shopping. I apologize! I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
I'm glad about that, Amunett, 'cause I've been kinda worried I was rushing it way too fast. And I'm definitely sticking to it. How could I not, with so many loyal readers? And thanks for believing in my nonexistent brilliance. I appreciate it so much! It's readers like you that keep me in a story I'm writing. Merry Christmas!
Hehe, I'm surprised I had the guts to put it out there, too, Mizz Moo. And the end... I don't know. We'll just have to see where my fingers take us, 'cause they're the ones doing the thinking, not the peanut-sized thing between my ears. And I'm debating a sequel, although I'm going to have to come up with a conceivable idea for it. Either way, I'll keep you guys posted on it. Merry Christmas!
I know... But many women are in that situation, which makes me sad. Me and my friend were discussing it, and I thought it was a perfect topic for the show. It was a bit random though. Oh well. Thanks for sticking with this story, Peaches Dani! I love faithful readers like you. Makes me all warm and tingly inside.Merry Christmas!
Thanks SesshoumaruGal! And I'm definitely taking your idea to heart. In fact, thanks to your review, I have a plan for how, where, when, why, who... You get the picture. Thanks again! Merry Christmas!
How funny! I got fuzzy warm socks for Christmas! I hope you got some too, and I hope this chapter rocked those, skitzoid! And I loved the cookie! Thanks! (Munches happily) Merry Christmas!
It shames me that I didn't remember who Miharuwas until I went back into the chapter and read it again. (Sighs) My memory just sucks, Lola-Gurl. And... this might be giving it away, but yeah, Naraku will be there. Maybe. And we'll see about Kouga and Ayame. I actually have it all planned out. (Dies from shock) Yes, I actually planned a part of the story this time. Mwaha! It shall be devastating. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, rkochick13! And there will definitely be more chapters, so don't worry! Merry Christmas!
Hehe, I didn't take the second part of your suggestion, but I did take the first part. Mwaha. It's actually part of the reason the chapter's out late. I had to rewrite the beginning. I like the rewritten version better, so thanks a lot, Somedaymydreamswillcome! And honestly, I have no line. I'm just writing it as I go along. You could say I'm coming up with it as I go along. Merry Christmas!
Oh, oh! I know where they live, abstract x heart! And sorry about the messenger thing. I used to have it, but then it just stopped working one day. My computer is stupid, and it's a piece of crap. (Sighs) How sad. And Santa did give me everything I want.A loving family and friends, and loyal readers that actually review for my story! I'm so blessed. Merry Christmas!
I wuv you too, Inu-Baby18! Merry Christmas!
I really really love my reviewers! Thanks, MM! Here's my update, and hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Hehe, sorry. I had to rewrite the beginning, and work and Christmas shopping kept on getting in the way. (Sighs) Sorry! Here's your late Christmas present, JadeFighter!Merry Christmas!
wk: Hehe, there's the end of the ReViEw oF rEvIeWs! I kind of meant to update before Christmas, but... I couldn't because of work. So I'm doing it after Christmas. All the "Merry Christmas!"es I have in the return reviews are actually "Have a late Merry Christmas!"es. Sorry!
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and I'll try to update soon. I need to rewrite the next two chapters 'cause I just don't like 'em. So it might be a while... maybe a couple of weeks, maybe not. I might decide to just keep them the way they are. Thanks for sticking with me, guys, and hope you all had some GREAT HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Love you all!
