Chp 4- The plan
Inuyasha sniffed her scent before she even popped her head through the well. He looked over to see the boy sleeping and Kaede re-cleaning his wounds. Inuyasha left the hut inconspicuously and ran towards the Bone eaters well. By the time he caught up with her she was half way towards the village.
"You're here early." Inuyasha said, confused.
"Yeah, so? I finished what I had to do early and decided to come back. Plus I needed to talk to Sango about something important."
Inuyasha waited for her to mention anything about missing him, but instead she continued walking.
"Are you coming or what?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha 'fehed', picked her up and ran towards the village.
When they arrived at Kaede's hut, Inuyasha put her down. "You have to stop eating, you're getting too heavy to carry around." Inuyasha said.
Kagome ignored his comment and went into the hut to put away her stuff. Two seconds later she was out with a confused expression on her face.
"What wrong Kagome?" Inuyasha moved closer towards her.
"Who's he boy inside? Why is he so badly injured?"
Inuyasha realized that Kagome had no idea about his encounter with the boy.
"I found him in the forest unconscious. Kagura had attacked him. He was losing blood fast so I brought him here to recover. Kaede says he should awake in another day or so. Then we can find out more about the boy. He doesn't look like he's from around here." Inuyasha turned his head away from the hut door and caught Kagome gazing at him. "What?" He said, blushing a bit.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said, walking up to him. She hugged him tightly around the waist and mumbled her praise. "I'm so proud of you. You've changed so much since we've first met."
He blushed even more and looked down into Kagome's chocolate brown eyes. They were bright and showed many emotions which he realized were directed towards him.
"Oh, am I interrupting something?" Miroku grinned as he started to turn around.
"AH NO, no… we were just talking." Kagome replied.
Inuyasha looked down to see why Kagome was still hugging him when he realized that he had his arms embraced around her too. He blushed lightly and moved back so quickly that Kagome almost fell, from lack of balance.
"Miroku wait," Inuyasha mumbled running after his friend. "We have to discuss some things." He turned around and the last thing he saw in Kagome's eyes before he left was pride.
Kagome stared after Inuyasha. She was sad that they had been interrupted but glad at the same time. She needed to find Sango and get this whole prom thing out of the way. Luckily she didn't have to go far. Her best friend was standing not even five inches away all of a sudden.
"Kagome!" Sango said, giving her a quick hug. "Why are you still holding your stuff, put them inside, and let's talk." Sango said, giving her the I-think-I-made-a-mistake look.
"Okay," Kagome giggled and went inside with Sango.
Inuyasha and Miroku walked in silence. Inuyasha could tell Miroku was dying to ask him something but didn't know if he should ask or leave it alone. Curiosity prevailed.
"Is there something going on that maybe we should know about Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.
"What! No!"
"Are you sure? Cause I—"
"Shut up, there's nothing going on between me and Kagome! It was just a stupid hug monk; don't get any perverted ideas."
"Okay if you say so, but Inuyasha, just one thing, why did you think I was talking about you and Kagome?" Miroku said slyly.
Inuyasha turned and gaped for a second then quickly closed his mouth. "Baka…he muttered and walked away.
"Kagome, I think I might have made a mistake." Sango said, taking a seat beside Kagome on the hut floor. "A very big one."
"What happened?" Kagome inquired, curiosity gripping her mind. Sango never really made mistakes that were worth obsessing over.
Sango sighed and relayed the events of the previous day. She told Kagome about the deal and the date but somehow thought it would be better if she didn't mention the awkward comment.
Kagome stared at Sango and then started to giggle, soon the giggle became a chuckle and the chuckle became uncontrollable laughter. Sango stared at her in disbelief. Kagome took a minute to calm down and then wiped her eyes from tears of laughter.
"I-i-I'm sorry! That was just so priceless. I can't believe I missed that. You go girl!" Kagome said giving Sango a high five.
Sango hit back and became more relaxed. At least Kagome didn't laugh AT her. "So what do I do now?" Sango said with a huff.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing. Just watch and wait. If Miroku really does like you like I think he does, then he'll be trying his hardest to keep those hands to himself."
Sango blushed. She looked around the room to find something to change the subject when she caught sight of Kagome's yellow traveling bag. Sticking out of it was a white book with a very shiny front. The picture on the front had a woman in an elegant blue dress with her hair flowing loosely behind her. The words were written in Kagome's modern Japanese and Sango could not read them but the book seemed to captivate her.
"What's that?" Sango said, pointing to the book in the yellow bag."
Kagome looked to where Sango was pointing and realized that she forgot all about the reason she was eager to look for Sango. The story about Miroku and the bet was extremely funny and Kagome knew there was more than what Sango let on. She picked up the book and returned to Sango.
"Remember how I told you about this thing in my time called prom?"
"Um…oh yeah, where you guys go dancing or something with your friends from school? I thought you said it wasn't a big deal?" Sango said catching on to Kagome's tone of voice.
"Uh huh. Well I lied. Actually it's a very big deal and it's coming up very soon."
"Okay, I don't see the problem in this story." Sango said, confused.
"Well the problem lies here…"
"If you're worried Inuyasha won't let you go back to your time, don't worry I'll help you."
"Actually the problem is Inuyasha himself." Kagome said sadly.
"Huh?" Sango mumbled.
"Let me start from the beginning." Kagome said, leaning against the wall. "Usually you go with a date. Problem was, when I went back to my time my friends decided to hook me up with some guys from school so I wouldn't be alone for prom. Out of panic I said I already had a date…"
"…And you told them it was Inuyasha" Sango finished off for her.
"Ah, yeah- I kinda told them I was going with Inuyasha. Before I realized what I said it was too late."
"Oh Kagome," Sango whispered.
Kagome looked up. She and Sango both knew that this would be an extremely tough task and the chances of success were very very slim.
"The sooner you get it over with the better." Sango stated.
"I know, but-but-arrgh!" Kagome sighed in frustration. "Okay, here's the plan. I'll ask him tomorrow. That should give me some time on how to approach the situation, okay?"
Sango smiled. "Okay."
"Until then let's check out these wicked dresses and maybe we can find one for me too!"
The boy looked up and realized he was still alive. That meant the first part of the plan had gone okay. If he could just accomplish the rest without screwing up or dying then he could have them back. They were counting on him and he wouldn't let them down. "I'm coming…" he whispered as he drifted back into sleep.
"Kouga, wait up!" Hakkaku panted. "I wish he would just remember that we don't have jewel shards stuck in our calves too!"
Ginta nodded in reply. "Let's just take a break, it's not like we're gonna catch him anyways." Ginta wheezed, sitting by the tree.
Kouga was already a good mile away when he realized that his two companions and the wolves were not behind. He grunted and continued to run. He would deal with them later, right now Kagome needed him. He hadn't seen her in over ten days and he was suffering from Kagome- withdrawal. As he approached the old woman's hut he could pick up her scent strongly, but his scent was there too. He had almost forgotten about the mutt. He was always with Kagome, and if Kouga didn't have to hunt down Naraku and worry about putting Kagome in danger then he would have taken her away from that stupid mutt ages ago.
"Don't worry Kagome, I'll release from this unknown bind that keeps you from leaving him and coming to me." (A/N: a little cocky isn't he? But that's why we luv him!)
No sooner had he said that did he hear an ear piercing scream.
"Kagome!" he muttered, boosting his speed. "I'm coming!"
Inuyasha stared off into the horizon. His thoughts were fluttering back and forth. Recently he found that if he isolated himself and just let his mind wander he would accomplish more. Kagome called it thinking.
Flashback
"Sit!" Kagome yelled. "Inuyasha, are you okay" Tears ran down her cheeks.
Inuyasha kicked himself for making her cry. He hated the smell of her tears.
"What's wrong with you baka! That demon was twice your size! He could have stepped on you! If Miroku hadn't come on time you… You can't just act on instinct every time dammit! Think every once in a while, it might do you some good."
End of flashback
Inuyasha smirked. He and the wench had many odd times like this and he hated to admit it but, he enjoyed them. His thoughts fluttered back to his stomach as I grumbled when he heard an ear piercing scream.
"Shit, Kagome!" He murmured, pulling out Tetsuaiga and running in her direction
Sango looked at Kagome. So far so good, no one was too be found. Miroku had gone into the village for some "business" and Sango knew what that meant. Since she needed to be with Kagome she sent along Kaede to check on him.
Inuyasha was missing since the sunrise and she highly doubted he would be back for a while.
"Sango this hurts!" Kagome whined pointing to the cloth tightly wrapped around her arm. "Can't we do this some other way?"
"Nope, this is the most painless way I could think of."
"This better work!" Kagome muttered as Sango untied the cloth to reveal a fresh bruise starting to form.
"Okay, go outside, you know what to do. I'll get the rest of the stuff ready."
Kagome nodded, picked up her supplies and went out.
Sango had five minutes to gather everything necessary. She paced around the room putting everything into a pile. Their timing had to be perfect, or else it wouldn't work.
As she gathered everything into her arms she heard an ear piercing scream.
