Winter Wonderland
Chapter Two
Mrs. Higurashi tip toed across the hardwood floor as she made her way to the stairs. This afternoon they were to leave for the mountains and Mrs. Higurashi wanted to make absolute sure that they didn't forget anything. She shivered as her bare feet touched the cold floor passing her daughters room. Pausing at her daughters door, she peeked her head inside the dark room to see if Inu-Yasha would be joining them. Usually a mother would be surprised to see a half demon sleeping in her daughters bed, but Mrs. Higurashi just smiled and closed the door to head down stairs to make sure they had enough Ramen for Inu-Yasha.
Hearing a small click caused Inu-Yasha to wake up and slowly open his eyes. The room was still quite dark, but light enough to see. Yawning, Inu-Yasha looked to his right to see Kagome still sleeping peacefully on her side of the bed. Inu-Yasha couldn't help himself as he leaned forward and kissed Kagome on the forehead before crawling out of bed. Grabbing his red haori off the floor and the Tetsusaiga, Inu-Yasha opened the door and made his way downstairs where he could smell chocolate coming from the kitchen. Mrs. Higurashi was standing at the kitchen counter holding a kettle of hot water.
"Good morning, Inu-Yasha, care for some hot chocolate?" asked Mrs. Higurashi.
Inu-Yasha immediately shook his head, "The last time I drank that stuff I burnt my tongue,"
Mrs. Higurashi nodded, "Is Kagome awake yet?"
"No, she's still sleeping,"
"Could you go wake her and the others up? We have to get ready to go for our vacation. I take it your coming with us then?"
Inu-Yasha nodded as he left the kitchen and made his way back upstairs. He stopped outside Kagome's door but didn't go in. His thoughts wandered to this morning when he had woken up. A weird feeling had come over him when he saw Kagome lying beside him . . . as if he always wanted that to happen. *I can't deny that I have feelings for Kagome . . . I mean who am I kidding myself? I love her . . . I've fallen in love with the girl from the future . . . Kikyo's reincarnation . . . but what about Kikyo? Did I ever truly love the dead priestess . . . or was it more companionship? But I owe her life since she died because of me . . . but my heart belongs to Kagome . . . gods I'm so confused . . . what do I do? What am I going to do?* Sighing, Inu-Yasha peeked his head inside to see Kagome still sleeping peacefully. *Maybe this trip will let me see if Kagome sees me more than a friend* Not wanting to wake the sleeping beauty, Inu-Yasha settled down on the edge of the bed to do a bit more thinking. *Kikyo wanted me to become human so we could be together . . . was that because of the jewel . . . or because she was ashamed of what I was? A filthy bastard half breed? Perhaps . . . she never let me touch her when I wasn't human on the new moon . . .*
"Inu . . . Yasha . . ."
Inu-Yasha's perked up at the sound of his name spoken by Kagome in her sleep. A smile was on her face as she was lost in the land of dreams. *Is she dreaming about me?*
"Inu . . . Yasha . . . please don't . . . leave me . . ."
Inu-Yasha's eyes widened *She doesn't want me to leave her . . . than maybe . . . just maybe I am more than a friend to her . . . no that can't be possible . . . that's way past Kagome's ability to see me, a filthy half breed, more than her best friend. Sure our friendship is strong, and I'm grateful to have her by my side forever and I by her side . . . but . . .* Inu-Yasha shook his head . . . if he kept thinking like this he would hurt himself. Smiling the half demon gently shook the sleeping girl and watched as her big cheery blue-gray eyes open.
"Good morning Inu-Yasha," yawned Kagome, stretching her hands above her head.
"Morning, your mom wanted me to wake you," whispered Inu-Yasha.
"Does she want me to get ready for our trip?"
Inu-Yasha nodded his head, "She also wants me to wake the rest of the family too,"
"Okay, well if you'll wake grandpa I'll wake Sota,"
"Um, can I wake Sota?"
"Sure, but why?"
"The last time I woke the old man he threw scrolls and chased me around the house,"
Kagome giggled and nodded as she got out of bed.
************************************************************************
"Okay so explain his to me again?" asked Inu-Yasha as he sat cross legged on Kagome's bed.
"We don't need to hide your ears because you are wearing a toque, so no one will expect anything,"
"I got that part, but why do I have to wear that ridiculous outfit?" asked Inu-Yasha.
"You mean the sweat pants?"
"Yes,"
"It's so you don't draw attention to yourself silly! You have to wear the modern day clothes starting today, so get out of your clothes and put these on!" said Kagome holding up the black sweat pants and red hoody for him to wear.
"I refuse," pouted Inu-Yasha crossing his arms.
"You either wear them or I get to 'S.I.T' you until you are six feet under ground!"
Inu-Yasha's eyes widened since he didn't feel like kissing the ground, "Alright, I'll put them on,"
Kagome smiled and left her room.
"Kagome!"
"Yes mom?"
"You got all your stuff ready?"
"Yes, but I'm helping Inu-Yasha with his,"
"Okay, because we are leaving in one hour,"
"Okay mom!" Kagome called down the stairs.
"Kagome, I'm ready," said Inu-Yasha.
Kagome opened the door to see Inu-Yasha had actually put on his clothes correctly. "Very good, now we have to get you some winter clothes,"
"Winter clothes?"
"Come with me, I'll see if my father's red ski suit fits you," said Kagome as she grabbed Inu-Yasha's hand and led him to her mothers room.
"Is it really necessary for me to wear all these clothes?"
"If you want to say warm yes," said Kagome digging through her mothers closet.
Sighing, Inu-Yasha leaned against the door frame, "Is there anything else I have to wear?"
"Well we have plenty of mitts and scarfs, but I'll have to get you to try on my dad's skates add ski boots,"
Not knowing what the hell Kagome was talking about, Inu-Yasha just nodded his head.
"Ah Kagome, there you are," said Mrs. Higurashi as she entered her room, "Did you find the ski suit?"
"I'm looking for it,"
"Well while you're doing that . . ." Mrs. Higurashi got down on her hands and knees to grab something under her bed, "I'll get Inu-Yasha to try these skates on,"
Inu-Yasha just stared at the strange foot wear with a blade on the bottom, "What in all the hells is that?"
"It's called a skate, Kagome will show you how to use them when we reach the mountains. Take a seat on my bed and we'll see if they fit,"
Inu-Yasha took as seat on the bed and watched with curiosity as Mrs. Higurashi put the strange boot on his foot and tied the strings together.
"Is that too tight?"
"Actually it feels really comfortable,"
"Good, then the ski boots will fit you perfectly,"
"I found the ski suit!" cried Kagome.
"Good, now let's get all our stuff in the car," said Mrs. Higurashi taking the skate off Inu-Yasha.
"Car?" asked Inu-Yasha.
"You'll see when we get outside," said Kagome dragging Inu-Yasha by the hand.
Inu-Yasha was lead outside where it was snowing lightly and the sun was still hidden behind the dark gray clouds. But a red block thing in front of the half demon alarmed him.
"Demon! Kagome get down!"
Kagome was pushed to the ground and watched as Inu-Yasha leaped into the air.
"Sankotes . . ."
"Sit!"
Inu-Yasha did a belly flop into the snow and disappeared with out a trace except for a big doggy imprinting the snow.
"What the hell Kagome?" screamed Inu-Yasha shaking the snow off him like a regular dog.
"It's not a demon Inu-Yasha, it's a car,"
"That's a car?"
"Yes, you have to understand there are no demons here . . . so unless you want me to say the word a hundred times, behave,"
Cussing under his breath, Inu-Yasha nodded his head.
The Higurashi family and Inu-Yasha headed inside for a quick lunch before they all crawled into the car. Mrs. Higurashi was driving with Grandpa in the passenger seat. Sota sat on the left in the back with Kagome in the middle, Inu-Yasha on the right, and with that they were off!
************************************************************************
Inu-Yasha's eyes were starting to droop as he stared at the snowy road ahead of them. There was only one word for what he was feeling right now . . . bored. Mrs. Higurashi and Grandpa were chatting in the front, Sota was playing his video game, and Kagome was reading something out of a big book.
"What kind of spells are those?" asked Inu-Yasha glancing at the inscription inside.
"They're not spells, it's called physics,"
"Physics? What's that?"
"Well Physics is when you can . . . um . . ."
"What you don't know?"
"No, I just don't really know how to explain it easily to you . . . um . . . well one thing you learn in physics is how fast things go,"
"I see," said Inu-Yasha, wondering how the hell humans could figure that out. Sighing he tried to close his eyes to sleep, but the door was not that comfortable.
"Do you want to sleep?"
"Yeah, kind of, I have nothing else to do,"
"Well you can rest your head on my lap if you like,"
Inu-Yasha blushed, but he tried to lean down, but the seatbelt prevented him from making any big movements, "I can't move,"
Kagome giggled and pulled back the strap across his chest putting it behind him, "Now try,"
Laying his head comfortable on Kagome's lap, the half demon fell asleep. Kagome tried to ignore the half demon on her lap, but he was so warm it distracted her from looking at her homework. Sighing in defeat, Kagome set her book behind the seat and began to run her fingers through Inu-Yasha's long silver her. It was so soft and silky to the touch. Kagome could feel Inu-Yasha snuggle more into her lap while his right hand rested on her legs. Curiosity getting the better of her, Kagome couldn't help herself as she ran a finger over one of Inu-Yasha's fuzzy white ears. Inu-Yasha gave a small groan and moved his head so Kagome could have better access to his ears. Smiling, Kagome began to massage his ear fully, but what Kagome couldn't believe was on how Inu-Yasha was giving off a husky hum . . . almost like he was purring or something. In past experiences Inu-Yasha always hated it when she touched his ears. Shaking the thought, Kagome leaned her head against the seat, *I can't wait till we reach the mountains, I'll get to show Inu-Yasha everything, but I'll just have to hope we don't run into Hojo. He said he would be going to a cabin close to ours, but I'll just have to avoid him so I can spend time with Inu-Yasha.* thought Kagome.
************************************************************************
It wasn't till four did they reach the cabin. It was a two story cabin that looked remarkably close to Kagome's house, but the inside was different. When you first walked inside you could see the living room where a long couch was and a fireplace. On the left of the living room was the kitchen on the right was a small closet, and a small room that Kagome said was the breaker box for the electricity and heating. The living room also had a stair case which lead to four doors, two on each side.
Kagome immediately started a fire while grandpa tried to get the furnace going. Mrs. Higurashi, Sota and Inu-Yasha started to bring stuff in from the car inside.
"So Sota, you will sleep in the small bedroom on the right and Grandpa will have the one across from you, while I'll be in the master bedroom," said Mrs. Higurashi, putting her bags in the big bedroom.
"Um, where will I be sleeping?" asked Inu-Yasha who was holding his and Kagome's bags.
"Well you can sleep in Kagome's room if you like, since she has an extra bed, or we can pull out the couch if you like,"
"No I'll sleep with Kagome,"
Mrs. Higurashi looked slightly suspicious at the half demon who immediately explained himself.
"It's just that her scent kind of helps me sleep," whispered Inu-Yasha, blushing ten shades red.
Mrs. Higurashi nodded, but started to giggle slightly, "Well put your bags in your room and you two can decide who can sleep where,"
Inu-Yasha nodded and entered the end bedroom on the left. The room was medium side with two beds on either side of a night stand. There was a small closet, and a dresser for them to put their clothes in. A medium sized window was at the end for them to see outside.
"So where do you want to sleep?"
Inu-Yasha spun around to see Kagome standing in the door way.
"Um, I don't really care,"
"Well I'll take the one nearest to the door then," said Kagome, grabbing her bags off the floor and putting them on her bed.
"Aren't we going to unpack?" asked Inu-Yasha.
"Not yet, first we have to clean the place since it's so dusty," said Kagome.
Inu-Yasha did not looked thrilled.
The rest of the afternoon was spent cleaning the cabin. Everyone was busy getting rid of the dust while it was Inu-Yasha's job to get rid of any mice or rodents that had made their home in the cabin over the summer. Once the cabin was entire clean and spick and span everyone couldn't wait to have supper, which turned out to be a cup of Ramen each, but of course Inu-Yasha had no complaints. Sota was very disappointed that they didn't have a tv, but he would somehow survive. It wasn't till later that evening when everyone was unpacking did disaster strike when there was a know on the door.
"Now who could that be?" asked Mrs. Higurashi making her way down stairs.
Inu-Yasha and Kagome followed Mrs. Higurashi to the door to see who would be knocking at nine at night. Kagome immediately grabbed a toque of the couch for Inu-Yasha to hide his ears and put it on his head as Mrs. Higurashi opened the door.
"Why Hojo! What a big surprise,"
At the sound of the boys name Kagome's eyes widened while Inu-Yasha gave off a small growl. *Hojo? What the hell is that idiot boy doing here?* thought the half demon, balling his hand into a fist.
A slightly frozen Hojo was standing outside in the cold night, "May I come in?"
"For a minute I guess since were going to head to bed soon," said Mrs. Higurashi.
Hojo nodded and approached Kagome, "Hi Kagome, did you have a nice trip?"
"It was alright I guess,"
"So who is this?" asked Hojo looking at Inu-Yasha.
"Oh, this is my best friend, Inu-Yasha. Inu-Yasha this is Hojo,"
Hojo held out his hand, but Inu-Yasha just looked away and stared at the wall.
"Not really friendly is he?"
"Just kind of moody," said Kagome.
"So Kagome, would you like to go skiing with me tomorrow?"
Inu-Yasha wanted to tear the boy to shreds, but Kagome responded, "Sorry Hojo, but I'm going with skiing with Inu-Yasha since he's never gone before,"
"He's never gone skiing?"
"Nope,"
"Well maybe you and I can teach him then, I'll meet you at the ski lodge at ten tomorrow morning,"
Kagome was about to respond, but Hojo disappeared out the door.
"Remind me to go to the ski lodge an hour early," sighed Kagome.
