Chapter 10: An Eventful Babysitting Job
Kagome hurriedly looked through her backpack for any ramen that was left.
"Nope," she called to Inuyasha, "there's no more ramen left. You ate the last one last night."
Inuyasha sighed unhappily and his ears drooped.
"Actually," Kagome said, "we're pretty low on all our supplies."
Sango glanced up from her boomerang she was cleaning. "If you want to you could go back to your time and stock up on supplies."
"Oh that would be great. Do you mind if I go Miroku?"
"No, of course not. We'll be fine since we haven't sensed any demons all day. Go ahead."
"What about you Inuyasha? Do you care if I go?"
"Feh"
Kagome decided to take that as a no.
"Ok be back soon guys!" She grabbed her yellow backpack, gave a quick wave then jogged off towards the well.
"She better bring back ramen or else" Inuyasha growled
o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Kagome climbed out of the well and walked into her house.
"Hi mom! I'm back early!" she called and dropped her bag by the door.
"Oh hi sweetie! Are you going to be here for awhile?"
"I don't think so mom, why is something going on?"
"Yes, I need you to watch Sota. All his friends are at camp and we need someone to watch him. Your grandpa and I are going to another one of his meetings. But if you aren't staying…" Her voice trailed off.
"Ok I'll stay but I have to tell the others first and could Inuyasha come?"
"Of course dear"
"Thanks mom! I'll be back soon!" she ran out the door and to the well house.
o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Hi guys I'm back!"
"Hi Kagome!" Shippo called
"Hi Shippo"
Inuyasha eyed her, something was wrong. 'Her hair is perfect, she's wearing that stupid outfit, she's way to cheerful like always… wait a second! She doesn't have her backpack with her.' Inuyasha concluded in his head
"Your not staying for long are you" Inuyasha asked
"No mom wants me to stay home and watch Sota for the night. I'll be back in the morning though. Oh yeah mom said you could come too Inuyasha."
"Can I have all the ramen I want?"
"Fine you can have some ramen." Kagome rolled her eyes at the half demon who looked like he just won the lottery.
"Well then what are we waiting for?" Inuyasha said happily.
Kagome looked at the other four sitting down.
"You four going to be ok here on your own until morning?"
After a series of yes's Kagome went back to the well with Inuyasha.
o0o0o0o0o0o
An hour into the movie they were watching Sota looked at Inuyasha and Kagome and asked. "So where do babies come from?"
Kagome choked on her popcorn and turned a deep shade of red. She grabbed a pillow and hid her face behind it.
Inuyasha on the other hand was happy to tell Sota all about it.
"Well you see kid, when two people love each other very much they decide to-"
"You mean like you and Kagome?" Sota interrupted
Now it was Inuyasha's turn to blush.
With his face as red as his pants he couldn't continue.
"Finish watching the movie Sota." Kagome said.
o0o0o0o0o
After the movie Inuyasha offered to put Sota to bed.
"Come on kid bed time." He said to him.
"But I'm not-" he suddenly yawned
"Tired?" Inuyasha smirked
"Yeah! Why do I have to go to bed?"
"Because its past your bed time kid. Now come on upstairs and put your pajama's on."
"Ok fine. Race you upstairs bro!" He suddenly tore up the stairs with Inuyasha hot on his heels.
Inuyasha could have easily beat Sota but he decided to be nice and let him win.
"Yay! I beat Inuyasha, Kagome!" Sota called down the stairs.
"Yeah I saw Sota good job!" she called back, "Now go to bed ok?"
"Yes Kagome"
Now in his pj's Sota climbed into his bed and looked up at Inuyasha. "You never answered my question Inuyasha."
Inuyasha paled. "Uh what question Sota?"
"If you were talking about Kagome and you when you were telling me where babies came from."
Inuyasha took a deep breath. "What makes you say that kid? She's always fighting with me." 'and she hasn't talked about that day when we kissed at all, and we haven't kissed since then either.' He thought to himself
"Yeah I know but in her diary she is always writing about you."
"She is? Wait a second, your not supposed to read her diary Sota."
"I know I'm not supposed to but I'm her little brother so I'm kinda supposed to not listen to her. And yeah she writes about how much she likes you and how Kikyo is bad for you but you wont listen to her."
"Oh. She likes me?"
"Of course she does! Isn't it obvious?"
"Not really. She is always yelling at me and making me sit."
"I don't know but maybe you should go read her diary then. Its under her mattress, by where her pillow is."
"Ok then Sota you better go to sleep before Kagome comes and yells at you."
"Ok night big bro"
Inuyasha smiled 'maybe me and Sesshomaru would be closer like this if we had grown up in this era' he thought as he walked out of the room.
He walked down the hallway and walked past Kagome's room. He backtracked and walked in the doorway to her room. 'Maybe I shouldn't read it.' He thought to himself, 'nah!' he walked over to her bed and reached under the mattress for the book. He found it and pulled it out triumphantly. He flipped it open to a random page and started reading.
Dear Diary,
When I was in the Feudal Era today I saw Inuyasha with Kikyo again. Why can't he see that she doesn't like him for who he is? She's DEAD and just a pile of clay and dirt. Why doesn't he see that? He was so close to her… how can I ever get him to get over her? She meant so much to him. She was a priestess and I'm just a simple schoolgirl who goofed up and accidentally went 500 years into the past. I don't even belong there. Why do I always write about being there then? Maybe I was supposed to be in that era. Oh well no use pondering over that idiot anymore. But he is so handsome and caring in his own way. He only wants to protect me from everything. Diary I don't know what to do. I think I'm in love with him but it would never work out. We fight too much and he still isn't over Kikyo. I guess I will never know because I wont ask him how he feels. He'll just think I'm stupid and not talk to me anymore. I'm going to bed now Diary maybe I'll know what to do in the morning.
Inuyasha closed the book slowly. He hadn't expected to learn so much just by reading one page of her diary. His mind was racing with all the new information he just learned. 'She actually loves me?' his mind screamed. 'No I must have read it wrong' he opened the book to the same page and read it again. 'No she does love me. But this was so long ago. How do I know that her feelings haven't changed?'
He decided to come and read the rest of the book after Kagome went to sleep. He put it back in the same spot it was in and walked downstairs.
Kagome was sitting on the couch with another movie in. Inuyasha walked up behind her and put his hands over her eyes. "Guess who"
"Inuyasha! I'm trying to watch the movie!" she cried
"Oh a movie!" Inuyasha jumped over the couch and landed beside Kagome. "What are we watching?" he was bouncing around like a little kid
Kagome laughed, "What happened? Did Sota let you in on his candy stash or something? Your really hyper!"
"I don't know I'm just in a really good mood right now." He looked around for a second, "Hey where's the popcorn?"
"It spilled everywhere when you jumped on the couch. It's all over the floor silly. Here I'll go make some more hang on a second." She stood up and walked out into the kitchen and put a bag into the microwave. "Extra butter?" she called out to the living room
"Yes please!" Inuyasha called back
"Good manners Inuyasha!" she praised
He smiled knowing Kagome liked it when he used his manners at her house, even if her mom wasn't home to hear them.
She walked out with the popcorn and sat down beside him. He quickly grabbed the popcorn and started eating it
"Pig"
"Am not I just like popcorn that's all"
"Whatever"
Inuyasha's mouth was soon very salty and dry so he got up and walked towards the kitchen "Do you want anything?" he called back to Kagome
"No but thanks for asking" she replied
"Ok" he walked into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water. He walked back out and commented dryly. "That guy's going to die"
"This is a comedy no one dies."
"Oh," he thought for a second, "he is still going to die though"
"No he won't"
"What do you wanna bet?"
"What do you mean, what do I want to bet?"
"What do you want to bet that the guy will die?"
"Uh I don't know. How about that if the guy doesn't die that you have to clean my room"
"Fine then, if he does die then you have to let me read your diary"
"WHAT!"
"You heard me"
"If we're going to play dirty like that then my bet is being upped. You have to clean my room and Sota's room too and you can only read half of my diary if you win."
"Deal"
"Deal"
They shook hands and watched the rest of the movie. About a half hour later the guy they had been talking about was tied up and was about to be killed by the crazed stand up comedian in front of him.
"Aha! I told you that he would die!" Inuyasha yelled triumphantly
"He hasn't died yet," Kagome reminded him
"Oh but he will" Inuyasha said looking like he was waiting for the last number to a winning lottery ticket.
He leaned forward in his seat just as the guy got away and lived. Kagome smiled thankfully and Inuyasha moaned in his seat and leaned back against the couch.
"Not fair" he wailed
"Oh yes it is fair"
Inuyasha glared at her and pouted, "No it isn't! He was supposed to die!"
"Just give up and admit defeat there is only 10 more minutes of the movie left"
"NOOO!" Inuyasha wailed, "Its not supposed to be like this!"
All of a sudden the man was hit by a runaway chicken and died instantly.
"Oh my god! He actually died" Kagome said in disbelief.
"Yes! Jackpot!" Inuyasha punched the air
"Oh no you can't read my diary unless I get it for you and I don't think I'm going to."
"That's not playing by the rules Kagome! Do I have to tickle you so you go and get it?"
"Maybe you do"
"Fine then" Inuyasha tackled her off the couch and tickled her.
"Ok, ok, ok stop! I give up! I'll go and get my diary. Just stop"
"Ok" Inuyasha smiled at her and helped her up
Kagome ran upstairs and grabbed her diary and ran back downstairs
"Here you go Inuyasha just remember your only allowed to read half of it"
"Yeah I know, I know." He grabbed the book out of her hands and flipped it open to make sure that all the pages were full before he started reading from the middle of the book.
"Ok let's see what it says." he said
Kagome hid her face in a pillow and went upstairs to wait for him to finish reading
Inuyasha opened the book to the middle and began reading.
o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
About an hour later Inuyasha came upstairs and walked into Kagome's room only to find that she had fallen asleep. He looked down at her and smiled. Then he pulled up the blanket to her shoulders and gave her a kiss on the forehead. He was thankful that he had gotten to read the diary because it held the answer he was looking for. He now knew that Kagome still loved him and the kiss he gave her was to her worth three pages. He smiled again remembering that kiss.
Kagome rolled over in her sleep and mumbled quietly "Inuyasha"
He leaned forward to hear what she was going to say
"Inuyasha"
He looked down at her expectantly
"Inuyasha sit boy"
He smashed to the ground and muttered "my god she even sits me in her sleep" 'life just isn't fair' he thought
