IMPORTANT!!! I UPDATED CHAPTER 4!!!! THE ENDING CHANGED... It is slightly different but has relatively the same idea to it...but you might want to read it...I will be referring to it later in the story...beware I use foreshadowing...a lot, lol I have gotten used to sneaking it in...
Chapter 5
Kagome let out a frustrated breath, 'he is such a jerk...doesn't he listen...no, of course not I'm only a human! No reason to listen to me! Stupid InuYasha!' She thought as she flung herself onto her bed. She was now lying on her back looking at the ceiling...no, glaring at the ceiling. 'Wait, why am I getting so mad about this? It's not like I haven't been that close to InuYasha before...I sleep in his lap for crying out loud' Kagome frowned. 'Darn it InuYasha!! Why do you have to be so so so...stupid sometimes!!' she then lets out a heavy sigh and falls into though
'Great, Now she's mad at me," InuYasha's ears droop, 'and I deserve it this time too...I really should have listened back there,' he thought 'no, I'm too good to listen to a human' the other side of his mind taunts, 'what dose she know?' it adds smartly, 'shut up! She knows a lot especially in this time era, I don't know anything...or very little anyway' he responds, 'so she is still a worthless human,' his other side so kindly points out. 'I said leave me alone and go away I don't need to hear this from you! Kagome was right and that's final!!!' his mind shouts driving the other half of the argument out. Now that he had only one opinion in his head he could think better, 'I'd better apologize to her once I get inside, she seemed pretty upset.' He took a deep breath and put his hand on the round knob ready to open the door open the door.
Kagome was still lost in her thought when InuYasha turned the doorknob. With the sound of her door she snapped back to reality. She pulled herself up off the bed and propped herself on her elbows.
InuYasha entered cautiously afraid of what Kagome would do to him when he came in. he braced himself for her yelling, or "sitting" or whatever she was going to do to him. 'Why am I so scared? She is just a mortal girl, she can't hurt me...but she can and she dose, quite often when she leaves or when she takes sides with Kouga. Wait why am I getting jealous, Kagome wouldn't betray me. Wow, wow, wow, betray? She can't betray you, there is nothing to betray stupid!!!...Now what? What do you mean "now what?" Apologize, that's what!' his rational side thinks, 'But your to prideful to do that' his other side taunts again back to haunt him. 'No, I will, your not getting the best of me!!!' he argues. 'Fine, fine tough guy, I gotta see this.' It teases. InuYasha growls internally at it and it back off. InuYasha finally came out of his trance when Kagome shifts moving into a sitting position on her bed finally realizing where he is. Kagome was upset at him (yet again) he could tell by the expression written on her face, it always pained him to see Kagome upset but at him it hurt more (although he causes it quite often) 'Crap! I sure picked a good time to daydream didn't I?' InuYasha started to open his mouth to apologize, "Kagome I'm I'm I'm s-"
Kagome cut him off though "You don't have to apologize...yes, you did chose not to listen to me, and ended up getting me wet, but I didn't have the right to yell at you like I did, I lost my temper" Kagome sighs and looks at the ground
InuYasha looked at her somewhat surprised 'what in the world just happened here? I am supposed to be apologizing and she is instead! Well that Kagome for ya..and if it wasn't she would have left me and the feudal era a long time ago'
InuYasha was still in shock when Kagome spoke next, "I just don't want to argue, we're on vacation now, so we shouldn't fight, Ok InuYasha?" Kagome looked up from the floor looking for InuYasha's answer.
InuYasha just nods involuntarily and smiles to himself as she smiles. His mind races as the words finally hit him 'Vacation, so this trip is a vacation? I thought the idea of a vacation was to relive stress not cause it...I can smell it radiating off of her and it's been there awhile' "I'm still sorry Kagome"
Kagome looks at him surprised 'he's still sorry even thought I told him he didn't have to be?...' Kagome sat up from her bed and walked over to InuYasha placing a hand on his shoulder making him look up. Right into Kagome's eyes, "Thank you" Kagome said very clearly and with a smile.
"For what?" InuYasha asks surprised, getting lost in Kagome's soft welcoming eyes.
Kagome smiles even bigger, "for apologizing" she states.
InuYasha smirks, 'she's back...or at least not mad anymore, thank god she doesn't hold a grudge' InuYasha thought happily letting a small smile creep over his usually serious features.
"I'll get you later anyway" she adds with a mischievous grin on her face.
InuYasha visually cringes, 'Crap now I'm in trouble, she's plotting revenge at me or at least she is planning to get me, her of all people...either way I'm in trouble...she can come up with some pretty horrible things to do to me, I mean yea she is nice and kind and caring and all but she has to take her anger out on something or someonegulp...and it will probably be mainly me' InuYasha thought with a shutter.
Kagome notices his shutter and laughs falling onto her bed, "What is the puppy afraid of a little girl?" Kagome teases.
InuYasha glares, "wanna test me?" he growls.
Kagome couldn't take in and fall into another bout of giggles as InuYasha growls his threat.
"whats so funny?" he asks trying to stay mad but it didn't work he looks at the girl hopelessly and sighs as he watches her, she was now red in the face and was breathing hard with a big smile on her features.
Kagome regained something close to her normal breathing rate and asked, "hey InuYasha, what do you want to do? Its 8:55 and I have to go to bed at 10:00. So we have about an hour till we have to go to sleep."
InuYasha looked at her as if she was crazy, "what is there to do? And why do you have to go to bed at 10?"
Well I have to go to bed at 10 so I cant catch up on some sleep, and I for things I have to get done before the trip...so yea...hum let me think...well, we could go downstairs and I could explain more of the appliances to you" at this suggestion InuYasha's eyes widened in fear at the thought of more "knowledge" in his head at the moment. Kagome smiled at the look of absolute terror on his face and continued, "We could watch a movie or we could play a game...electronic or a board game."
"What's a movie? And what's a game...ee-lec-tron-ec or a board one?" InuYasha asks rolling the new word questionably off his tongue and looked at Kagome expectantly.
"Well," Kagome began "a movies is an acted play or book that is viewed on the TV. You remember the TV. Right? InuYasha nods remembering the last time he was here Souta had shown him the TV and how to work it. Seeing him nod Kagome continues. "An ELECTRONIC game is one you play with an electronic game system like this" she points to the black playstation2 sitting on the floor in front of the TV that Kagom had in the corner of her room." That you plug into the TV and visual images show up and you try to win, whatever the goal of the game is...I could be to score a goal or finish a level or beat up someone...or something. And a board game is a game you play with plastic pieces (usually) and you play it on a cardboard board...hence the name BOARD game."
"Ok..." InuYasha responds
"Or we could listen to music, oooor...Oh, why don't we go outside and I can point out the constellations for you?" Kagome suggested.
InuYasha didn't know what a constellation was but he liked the idea of going outside. "What is a con-ste-lla-tion?" he asks running this new word off his tongue too.
Kagome laughed lightly at the look on his face as he tried to annunciate his words, "Ok, a constellation is an arrangement of stars. They can be really pretty and I know a lot of them from my time but you may know some you could point out some from your time."
InuYasha grins, "Ok let go do that" he responds agreeing.
Kagome smiles and beckons InuYasha our of the room, "come on lets go" she then walks downstairs and was about to grab a flashlight so she could get to the God Tree but noticed that it was a full moon, it was so bright that you could see easily without one. 'Darn, now we wont be able to see the stars as distinctly...what am I saying? You can't see them that good from the city anyway (darn light pollution!), it is so much clearer in the feudal era, its so nice to be able to see them...I take it for granted because I sleep under them almost every night' she then let out a soft sigh and opened the sliding door in the back.
InuYasha follows her outside curiously until they reach the God Tree. Kagome looked up thought its branches lets out a relaxing breathe as she sees the moonlight seeping thought its branches and leaves. Once she lets her breath out she starts for the tree to climb it but with a roll of his eyes InuYasha hops up next to her and wraps his arms around her waist firmly and leaps into one of the top branches of the tree.
Kagome was surprised at this but didn't complain, then InuYasha settled her in his lap (which he was very used to since that was how they slept in the feudal era.).
Kagome was now comfortable and looked up into the sky and smiled...she was always into astronomy, and when she first went back to the feudal era al she did for hours on end was look at the stars and enjoy how clear it was. Plus from studying them for fun so long she knew just about all the constellations. She figured that she would start of with a main and significant star. "Ok InuYasha that is the North Star" she tells him pointing to a bright star that is slightly to the right of them and away from the horizon high in the sky.
InuYasha watches her with seriousness and tries to stash some of the information away for in the future when he may need it...'like with the North Star you could navigate by fining it and walking towards it, that was north.' Then Kagome went on to tell him about Orion and the 3 bright stars in a row that make his belt, that was a winter constellation so it was far down, towards the horizon. She finished her star speech with the big and little dippers. The "Big Dipper" is part of a constellation, Ursa Major and the little dipper is its own constellation, its official name is Ursa Minor. (Tailed Bears) He also found out a way to find them relatively easy, Ursa Minor is pouring into the "Big Dipper".
It was getting cold out, even InuYasha was aware of it. Kagome shivered slightly and InuYasha noticed, he pulled her closer to him. Kagome didn't struggle but cuddled up into his warm embrace. InuYasha was surprised at this because of the incident that happened about an hour ago. 'Well I guess I was correct...that's got to be the first thing I have done right' he thinks as he embraces her He then turned his attention back to the teenage girl in his lap listened intently once again as she explain more of the constellations to him.
After a small while and few constellations later Kagome got cold again and InuYasha looked down at her with sincere concern, "You know if you're cold you can just say so and we'll go in, if your mom doesn't want you out after dark I assume its so you don't get sick...and by staying out late in the cold you'd be defeating the purpose."
Kagome just stared at him for a moment in complete and total shock, 'what did he just say? Did he even know what he said? If he dose, then dose he understand what he said?...this isn't like him...wait, yes it is, he is always trying to protect me...always no matter what...ha, so he is a softy...ha!!' Kagome looks up into his warm face and smiles at him, and then responds, "Yea, I'm a little cold, you're right we should probably go in now"
InuYasha just rolls his eyes and pulls Kagome out of the tree onto the ground, she stumbles a bit from not being used to standing and InuYasha firmly grabs her shoulders to steady her. Kagome then smiles up at him thankfully and walks to the door, when she dose this InuYasha lets go of her but watches her protectively as she ambles over to the door.
'Wow, I cant believe how tired I am...I mean it do run around the feudal era all the time...I have a right to be tired, but still-' her thought were but off when she yawns. She then gives up arguing with herself and opens the door to the house, she and InuYasha walk in and Kagome closes the door. The two of them both walk up the stairs and into Kagome's room.
Once there Kagome looks at her hair and makes a face, she then turns around to InuYasha and tosses him a brush while she picks one up for herself. Kagome stars to run the brush though her long ebony hair.
InuYasha gives her a curious look, "Ahhh? Kagome, what do I do with this?"
Kagome turns around from her mirror and faces InuYasha, "See, it's a hair brush and you run it though your hair like this." she tells him as she pulls the brush though her hair another time to demonstrate to InuYasha how it works. "Its to get all the knots out of your hair and to make it look nice." Kagome continues.
InuYasha gives her a curious look but tries it anyway finding his hair just let the brush fall though it, he is surprised at this since Kagome had to work at it at first to make her hair straight, but he kept pulling the brush though his hair until he had brushed all of it. He was watching Kagome the whole time and when he was finished she put her brush down and InuYasha walked over to do the same and set the brush down next to the one that Kagome was using.
Kagome smiled and then yawned, InuYasha smiled lightly at this, "tired" he asked, teasing her.
Kagome shoots him a glare, "why?"
InuYasha just smirks, "no reason,"
Kagome shoots him a death glare but it doesn't affect him...or not the way Kagome want it to, he smiles at her mischievously. Kagome's eyes widen in shock, 'Ohhh no, this can't be good' "I-InuYasha?" I ask cautiously at the look on his face.
Seeing her face covered in confusion InuYasha smiled a genuine smile and rolled his eyes starting to laugh.
Kagome was now clueless, "uhhh, InuYasha, are you ok?"
InuYasha just smirked at her and responded, "I'm fine"
Kagome gave him a suspicious look but it was pushed aside when she yawned.
InuYasha rolled his eyes again and said, "See you're tired, I told you"
"I didn't try to deny it ya know!" Kagome responded sitting down next to InuYasha on the bed.
InuYasha smirks again and pulls Kagome onto his lap, and then he pushes his back onto the wall so he was leaning on it. They were in the same position as in the tree but they were inside on Kagome's pink bed...(A/N: now that has to be a pretty funny sight...lol) then InuYasha whispers into her ear, "good because so am I"
Kagome is definitely surprised at his remark but smiles and cuddles up closer to him as she becomes drowsy in the embrace of InuYasha. But before she falls asleep she sets her alarm to get her up in the morning. "Night InuYasha" Kagome mumbles as she falls into a blissful sleep held by InuYasha's arms.
InuYasha smiles as he hears Kagome mumble her good night and nuzzles her neck returning the gesture, "Night Kagome" after a few moments of listening to her breathing patterns they start to slow down dramatically. InuYasha knew she was asleep when he heard her take a few deap long breathes in a row. Once she was safely asleep he inhaled a lungful of Kagome's scent, this immediately relaxed him and let him start to drift into a much needed slumber holding onto the "weak" human girl who traveled with him in search of the Shikon no Tama.
