Chapter 16 Snowflakes
***Inu-yasha's diary (Inu: Are you reading my diary again?! *growl* Dreamer: No, not at all. *hiding the diary behind her back*)***
Yesterday with Miroku was something I don't really want to talk about. All he could talk about was girls and I noticed that he avoided to talk about Sango. Well, when the darkness came he started to get more talkative than ever. He was like he would be drunk and telling all his life time.
He maybe even did cause I think there haven't been anything else than girls in his mind since he born. He had been telling about his first crush in kindergarten and when he was talking about one there was suddenly fifteen.
The junior-high was worse, but worst was this school and this little village. He had told me he's from a bigger city, but not from Tokyo. Well, the name of the city didn't find any place in my mind, so I forgot it. I'm bad with geography anyway.
At the time of 11 p.m. he started to talk about Sango. He had wholly forgotten that I was there. He only talked about he. First lots of perverted thing but when he got further his talking turned into more like sweet talking and he started to sound like his whole life had ended.
I will never learn to understand him! And actually sometimes I wish I wouldn't learn.
Other thing. You can't believe what a cup of coffee can do to a guy. You would think it would wake up him wholly, but when Miroku finally at about 1 a.m. drunk up his coffee he fell asleep like a baby.
The good side in this was that I finally had the chance to get sleep.
When I woke up on next the morning (today in other words) I had to wonder a long moment before I remembered why Miroku was there sleeping beside my bed and under MY cover.
Miroku didn't talk me in during many moment on that morning cause I had to beat him up for stealing my cover. It wasn't a problem. It was easier to wash your face and teeth when he wasn't talking there about girls.
Today Sess had woken up at the same time and when we got down he was already making breakfast. I was lucky enough that he was in kinda good mood when he made breakfast to me as well.
Miroku wasn't so lucky thought. When he showed up his face in the kitchen Sess had stopped making the breakfast and with slightly irritable face he pushed Miroku out from the room. Miroku had been standing there looking confused when Jaken sat 'nicely' beside him (as if you could say nicely about that dog).
When I and Sess digged in to our breakfasts I heard panting from the doorway to the kitchen. I didn't think it was anything strange before I saw I saw Sess to drop his spoon and look away from the door.
I turned to look and saw beside panting Jaken Miroku sitting like a dog lifting one hand begging for food. When seeing that sight and Miroku's big puppy eyes neither I could eat anymore.
There was something no one shouldn't have missed. When all tired Kouga finally came home from his night work he almost fell on his nose of surprisment and shock when he saw Miroku before the kitchen.
Later he told me that he could swear that he had seen Miroku with a swinging tail. Well, I wouldn't be very surprised when this considered this specific guy.
Well, with a miracle we finally got on the way to the school. Nothing special actually happened before we saw to girls on the way. These girls were in our school on the second grade.
When we had been walking quite a bit. All the way to the school wasn't the shortest but here didn't go any bushes so we had to walk. That was why I had to leave home 8a.m to get to school 9 a.m.
However on that moment we were quite near the school. We had to still cross some streets or run past a field like we usually did, but the farmer didn't like of it and he shoot beans with a rifle at us.
On the way, anyway, I suddenly noticed how Miroku had disappeared from my side. I hadn't yet spotted the girls before me. My way of walking was to stare at my toes. Maybe that is why I never notice if someone who I know is walking by me.
I started to look around for any sings of him. Soon, however, I did notice that little pigtail of his from behind a bush at the verge of the road. There is a lot of bushes at that spot. I got confused and wondered was he hiding from something, but when I saw his to come into my sight at the other side of the bush his grin was everything else but not afraid.
To my disgust his eyes were gleaming like always when he saw a good pray. And with pray I mean girls. I started to look around and then I spotted the two girls I had seen ones or twice at our school.
Miroku leaped like a cat behind the bushes toward the girls but to my surprise he continued before them. I would have thought that he couldn't wait any longer but would attack on the first chance but he seemed to want to go before them.
On that moment I decided that I should hurry on me, but another part of me told me to take a longer way and be like I didn't know this sneaker. Well, maybe I'm stupid but I did go and hurried myself toward the girls.
I wasn't in time thought to warn them, that was the idea when I hurried further. Before I could blink Miroku was between the two girls and me and then he went to them and.
I'll leave the rest be as it may, but I can tell you that I have heard this calling name too often. "Miroku-you-hentai!"
That's him! What can you do?
***a later part in his diary (Inu: Arrgh! I'm going to kill you! Dreamer: *sweatdrop*)***
On the lunch time I had a lot of fun. Even thought my worry about Kagome who seemed to give me those smiles that had lost their shine was still looming in my mind. I had learned one thing in my life at least and that is that even the worry shouldn't make your life a hell.
Just wondering. How often do I actually worry. Sess have told me enough not to worry, but somehow this ghost, Kagome, makes me really worried.
Oh, where is my mind and pen going again! I was about to write of my lunch and how fun I had.
Yes, fun. Where is Kagome anyway?
Arrgh! Why I have to write all my thoughts here!!!
Yes, I had fun, real fun. And I even learned to respect Kouga. There are those times when Kouga was around our groups and then he was okay. Today we had to do even together some tasks and our groups worked well. We had one girl with us that was active and willing to job with us.
I don't know, but I had this funny feeling that this small looking blonde girl had a crush on Kouga. Well, I wouldn't mind, but he didn't seem to be very clear about this fact.
On the lunch the fun started when we planned on a party. We had thought about spending time together when our school ended. Well, I know it's a bit too early, but it was fun to plan it. It's still a problem that we don't know were to have the party.
Oh well, that was one of the minor problems in the planning, but the rest of it I don't want to remember in my future so I won't write it.
I also get more better along with Chaz after the attacking scene. Well, in class we are teacher and student but sometimes we end up to sit on a bench in the corridor and talk our minds out. I had even slightly mentioned about me seeing a ghost, but it was no news to him.
I'm just not sure do he believe me or not in this, but at least he isn't shouting at me that I'm crazy. I also noticed that he was like two personalities. He could be cold and feelingles, but then there was that side of him that told that he was still young from mind.
Well, I wouldn't wonder why he had that cold part of himself. His brother had been murdered. A young kid in other hand. Someone who supposedly should have lived yet many years.
On that day I was surprised when I saw Aliz to walk in the school-doors. What surprised me even more was that you could see that she was seemingly drunk. Her eyes were sleepy-way like those who were drunk had, but her walking didn't tell anything about it.
She walked her back straight and even thought she limped cause of her still sour foot. With out the foot you could say that she walked perfectly and she had that warrior like attitude, but.
Oh well.
I knew she came to see her brother, but I had been wondering why she hadn't done anything to her leg. For example going to doctor. I'm sure that she have taken care of it herself.
Well, I'm happy that my bruises and cuts are gone. At least no one of my friends will make hard questions on me. Yes, I haven't told them yet. I don't want people to be worried about me and I don't know how they would react anyway.
I just don't want any one to worry about me.. Like I worry about Kagome.
***back to reality and to the mansion***
Inu-yasha was sitting by his table and was doing some math lessons when he felt a gold breeze. Knowing well what it was he just continued to push the buttons on his calculator and muttered the numbers under his breath.
Kagome came and looked over his shoulder. When she noticed what he was doing she sighed. She knew well that his school came first s she turned to leave.
"HA!"
Kagome turned to look at Inu-yasha who proudly lifted up his book proud about his work. Then he put the book down and stretched his back. "Finally done!" he exclaimed and turned for Kagome smilingly.
Kagome looked at him wondering, but when he closed his book she smiled. That confirmed her that he wouldn't do school works anymore.
Inu-yasha smiled and was happy to see her smiled, but there was something about her smile that made his worry come back.
She came to him and laid down on the table. "What are we going to do now?" she asked looking up at him.
He looked down at her still keeping that smile on his face. He wouldn't care if people wouldn't believe him, but the best times of his life was here with her.
He looked at her and then at her lips that were pale and transparent. He had the need to taste them anyway. To feel her cold lips against his.
He shook his head. What was he thinking. This was a ghost and anyhow he was dating with Kikyo.
He stood up and turned to look to any other direction than her. She stared at him startled. Then her gaze wandered to the window.
Inu-yasha heard her to gasp and turned around. He followed her gaze to the window and there he saw white tiny snowflakes fall from the sky. His eyes widened and suddenly he felt cool hands around his neck.
He looked down at Kagome who was hanging on him "Lets go out" she said. "I want to go and see them! I want to be there and dance!"
He hadn't seen her so happy and exited in a long while. He smiled and nodded. He suddenly blushed when the ghost kissed him, but this time lightly on his lips. She got out of the room but he stood there stunned.
He brought his fingers on his lips and a small part of him leaped of happiness. He sighed and smiled.
Later they were out at the garden. Inu-yasha had his jacket on him and high boots. He stared at Kagome who tried to catch the snowflakes on his tongue. He had time to keep from laughing when all the snow flakes got trough her.
"Shouldn't you let them touch you" he asked her folding his arms around him to cover his fingers with his arms. The weather was below zero (Celsius). "Then you would maybe actually catch them."
Kagome stopped and turned to look at him. "Oh no, Inu-yasha" she told him floating in the air and pointing her finger. "Then I would destroy these beauties. I don't want that."
He just smiled and was surprised when she pulled him with her into a dance. He hesitated first fearing that his wicked brother who was almost always at home would see him. However when seeing Kagome so happy he just had to join her in the dance. In a dance under the snowflakes.
***inside***
Sesshomaru took his cup when sitting beside the window. He looked down to the garden seeing his brother dancing happily. He saw him laugh and smile that made him sigh deeply.
Suddenly the door of the room opened. "I should have guessed!" Koishi exclaimed when he came in. He spotted the coffee-maker on Sesshomaru's table. "And I was looking for this all over the house." He had a cub with him and so he poured some of hot coffee that Sesshomaru had made in his cup.
Sesshomaru just ignored him. If he would have been in his usual mood he would have jumped up and stopped him from pouring the coffee or sent Jaken after him or anything else mean and wicked.
Koishi glanced up at him wondering why hadn't he come at him. Koishi had known Sesshomaru as long as he had known Inu-yasha. He even remembered the time when he was a kid. He and Inu-yasha had always test on some wicked traps Kiken and Sesshomaru had built. Ones they had even burned Koishi's hair and he hadn't dared to leave his home before his hair started to grow back.
Yes. Their families had known a longer time, but since Koishi's father had blamed Inu-yasha's father of stealing their lawn-mower their parents hadn't talked. Well, it didn't stop the children to play and have fun together.
Inu-yasha and Koishi running around the house when Kiken was having scissors in one hand and shampoo in other when Sesshomaru had a knife in other and a lightener in other hand while running after the poor younger kids.
Koishi walked up to Sesshomaru and followed his gaze out from the window to the yard. His eyes widened when he saw Inu-yasha there dancing alone under the snowflakes. "What's with him?" he asked from Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru who well knew that this ghost was with his little brother sighed deep. "He's changing" he answered and ended the conservation with sipping on his coffee.
A/N: One new chapter done! I feel so great. I had been walking with my dog and I planned on this chapter. I finally got the snow here.
In the next chapter Shippo shows up and after it I have to kinda rush to the last day of school and the friends party.
I have a question for you. Do you want their party to be at Inu-yasha's place or someone else's or in Saloon bar? It will still take maybe two or three chapters before I get there so there is time to answer this.
Hmm. Was there more. Oh yeah. Inu-yasha might now start to go a bit out of character, but it's cause he's starting to change a bit. Not much! Only enough that he's gentle and sweet around the ghost. If I change him too much I'll ruin my plans of the sequel.
About Sesshomaru. I know he's OOC in this, but umm. I didn't want a brother to Inu-yasha that tries to kill him every other minute.
He also have a bigger part in this story. Mostly maybe cause he's my absolute favourite character in the real manga/anime (seen both) but the other reason is cause he lives in the same house with Inu-yasha from the beginning so the part fits for him.
For what is that part I won't tell you. Otherwise I'll tell you the ending of this. However. When I get past Christmas in this story we start to get down into freeing the ghost.
See ya!
