Chapter 12- Who's going out!
"What a movie!" Inuyasha said as Sango shut the movie off. "Anyone else like it?" Both Sesshoumaru and Miroku's hands went up.
"Are you crazy?" Rin asked, pushing Sesshoumaru lightly.
"No, that's Miroku." Sesshoumaru said. He watched the girl beside him laugh. Miroku glanced over at him, slightly surprised. Did he just...make a joke?
Surprisingly, out of all the people in the room, Sesshoumaru had the closest relationship with Miroku. It seemed that they had known each other since they were younger because of Inuyasha, and had somehow formed a friendship. Though Sesshoumaru detested humans, Miroku had been an exception to the rules. Probably because even though he was very goofy, he was also wiser than most teens. Or humans for that matter.
"That movie was horrible! Like 27 people died. And you think that it's cool?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha just rolled his eyes.
"What are you scared someone is going to come and kill you?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well it could happen! And who would save us if the girls got stolen or something?" Sango asked.
"Well that's easy. The boys will come and save me and Kikyo." Kagura replied, hugging Miroku's arm. Sango's eyes came dangerously close to a demon's as they flashed red.
"And the others?" Rin asked.
"You can find your own way out." Kikyo replied.
"They wouldn't leave us." Sango looked over at Miroku, who nodded in agreement.
"Only because they would feel bad if they didn't save you." Kagura replied.
"How do you know?" Sango's hand clenched at her sides, her self control slipping faster than time.
"Because I know my Miroku." Kagura said. Sango was going to snap, but luckily Kagome cut in.
"Cut it out Kagura."
"Why? This isn't your business."
"Well when you're bothering my friend it is."
"Well now you're bothering my friend!" Kikyo exclaimed. Kagome only sighed, realizing there was no way from avoiding another fight with Kikyo. Though most people assumed Kagome liked to fight with Kikyo, it was the exact opposite. Every time they fought, Kagome knew she would end up saying something she didn't normally say, or she would end up getting hurt herself. There was no positive side to fighting.
"She started it Kikyo."
"And I'm going to finish it. So back off Kagome before I make you." Both Sesshoumaru and Rin were watching in confusion.
"I defiantly missed something." Rin said. Sesshoumaru nodded and smirked at his brother and Miroku who were now trying to calm down the girls. Both were failing. Finally, Inuyasha was at the end of his rope. The only thing that calmed him was the very thing that had gotten him frustrated in the first place. He had to think of something that would shut the girls up before anything got broken. Or anyone.
"Why don't you go crawl back into a hole where you belong?" Kikyo hissed out. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Kikyo stop." Kagome replied.
"I'm telling you once and only once, stay away from Inuyasha." Kikyo said, causing Kagome to wince. Whether anyone knew, Kikyo could be scary at times when she wanted to be. But Kagome wasn't going to back down.
"Is he a piece of property now? I can claim him if I pay enough? Sorry Kikyo, I'm not staying away from him, and I'm not sure he wants to stay away from me either." Kagome replied. The sudden sentence caught Inuyasha's ear, and a small light bulb went off in his head.
"Why, do you think you'll ever go out with him? Fat chance of that ever happening." Kikyo said, crossing her arms and smirking. Kagome had to admit that had left a dent in her confidence. But the indentation disappeared when she felt an arm snake around her waist and pull her back into a hard chest.
"Actually Kikyo, now that you mention it, we are. How ironic is that?" Inuyasha replied, watching all heads turn towards the two. Kagome stared up at Inuyasha, who only looked down and smirked at her. Her eyes widened before she broke out into a huge grin. That little sneak, he's such a good liar. I wasn't even sure when he said it! Kagome thought before facing the others.
"You are!" Inuyasha smiled at the unison that fell as each person asked the same question. Kagome smiled and nodded, watching their friends' jaws slacken. She couldn't help the bubbly feeling that now filled her as she played into Inuyasha's charade. She was Inuyasha's girlfriend...for right now anyways.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Both Sango and Miroku asked, their voiced blending into one.
"Because we...wanted to keep it a secret." Kagome said.
"Sound familiar?" Inuyasha asked.
"No!" Sango said.
"Sure it doesn't." Kagome replied, rolling her eyes with sarcasm. Sango blushed as Miroku muttered under his breath. Sesshoumaru just rolled his eyes at the uncomfortable couple. Rin gently covered her mouth her with hand, trying her hardest not to laugh.
"Well what about you two? I saw you in the movie!" Sango said, pointing at Sesshoumaru and Rin.
"What are you talking about?" Rin asked.
"Oh we all know that you were clinging to Sesshoumaru during the whole movie, so don't play innocent." Sango replied.
"I was scared! And you were all over Miroku after you two talked." Rin replied. "It's not like you're going out though…"
"I was not hanging all over him!" Sango yelled.
"Now look who's playing innocent. We all saw you." Rin replied. Sango blushed and Rin laughed.
"See, now don't try and tell us you're not going out."
"We're…fine, we're going out! You happy!" Sango asked, slightly frustrated at Rin.
"Very." Rin replied.
"You're…you're going out!" Kagura stammered out.
"Yes we are." Sango replied, enjoying the look of horror that was now plastered on Kagura's face.
"You stole him from me!" Kagura yelled.
"Stole him? He wasn't yours in the first place! How can I steal him from you if you didn't have him to begin with?" Sango asked. Fire flashed in Kagura's eyes as she slapped Sango across the face. Sango's steps were slightly wobbly as she placed her hand on her cheek. She could already feel a stinging pain in her check.
"Kagura!" Kagome said, trying to calm her down. "What are you-"
"Can it Kagome. She had Miroku, and I want him. Easy as that." Kagura looked over at Sango, a serious look in her eye. Sango's eyes blazed with sheer hatred as she stared Kagura down.
"Well sorry Princess, but it story doesn't go that way." Sango spit out. When Kagura slapped Sango again, the temper that Sango once had control over snapped. Sango's hand curled slightly, causing Sango to cuff Kagura across the face. When Kagura stumbled back, Sango smirked. Before anyone could stop the girls, Kagura lunged at Sango and sent them both tumbling to the ground. As the girls fought, Miroku quickly grabbed Sango off of Kagura.
"Kagura, I think you should go home." Miroku said, more a statement than a suggestion.
"Aw Miroku, it was just getting good." Inuyasha whined, but stopped talking when Sango glared at him. "I'm shutting up now."
"Good idea." Rin said. Kikyo ran over to Kagura, quickly helping her up.
"Are you oka?" Kikyo asked, getting a nod from Kagura. "Kagome, you should keep your friend on a leash."
"What!" Sango was being held back by Miroku, but his struggle was evident.
"If I'm not mistaken, your friend attacked Sango first." Kagome said.
"Well your friend started with her. If she had manners this wouldn't have happened.
"She does have manners!'
"Really? Then why doesn't she use them?"
"Kikyo, you don't know what manors are, since the word isn't in your dictionary."
"How dare you say that about me!"
"Why can't I say it to you, since you just said it to Sango.
"That was different."
"Oka, Kikyo and Kagura get out of my house!" Sango yelled.
"Fine! Inuyasha, will toy walk me to my house?"
"No, I think I'd better stay here and make sure Kagome's friend is Oka." Inuyasha said. Kikyo looked at Inuyasha with a hurt expression before she walked out of the house.
"Come on Kagura, let's go." Kikyo said before the house.
"See you Miroku." Kagura said as she ran out of the house after Kikyo. Rin walked over and shut the door, breaking out into hysterics as soon as she did.
"Kagome, you should have seen your face! You looked so smug I thought Kikyo was going to punch you right there." Rin said, breathing in deeply from laughing too much.
"She wouldn't hit me hard. She throws bad punches." Kagome replied, walking back to the couch. Inuyasha shrugged and sat next to her, Sesshoumaru and the others following. Miroku smirked and lightly pushed Sesshoumaru, causing him to almost hit into a wall. When hearing the demon growl, Miroku quickly ran past the two girls and into the living room, Sesshoumaru chasing after him. Sango and Rin sighed before walking into the room.
"Will they ever grow up?" Rin asked.
"That's like asking if the moon is made from cheese." Sango replied, making the others laugh. Both boys heard the rude comment and stopped their rough playing.
"We're grown up." Miroku said, Sesshoumaru nodding in agreement. Rin just rolled her eyes.
"That's why you guys are acting like monkeys?" Sango asked. Both boys thought for a moment.
"Beating on this weakling is a way to keep my strength up." Sesshoumaru replied.
"Just let the boys believe what they want." Kagome said. Inuyasha's eyes grew curious as he looked over at Kagome.
"What do you mean by that?" Kagome looked over at him.
"I'm just saying that the boys can pretend they're mature. Nothing insulting." She replied.
"That's insulting! Boys can be mature." Kagome just sighed at Inuyasha's stubbornness.
"Whatever you say Inuyasha."
"Do you think I'm mature?"
"At times, yes."
"So now I'm immature?"
"Yes. It's a proven fact that boys mature slower than girls."
"Oh Kagome maybe you-" Rin was cut off when Inuyasha started yelling.
"At least I'm mature enough to know a stupid movie isn't real!"
"I wasn't scared!" Kagome screamed back.
"Bull." Inuyasha said.
"I don't have to sit here and listen to you!" Kagome looked up at him, fire springing into her eyes before ran out of the room, slamming the door being her.
"Oh great, Kagome's pissed. And it's your fault." Rin said, pushing Inuyasha.
"My fault! She's the one that kept acting all smart and shit!" Inuyasha countered.
"Yea but she was just joking, you made fun of a weakness she had. It's not funny when people make fun of you for being afraid." Sesshoumaru explained, punching Miroku again before walking over to the group. Miroku slowly stood up before joining the group.
"Well how was I supposed to know?" Inuyasha asked, looking down at the floor.
"Well we should go look for her." Sango replied, walking to the door. The cool air filled her senses as she opened the door, making her shiver slightly.
"I'll stay here and wait incase she comes back." Sesshoumaru said, getting a shake of the head from Sango.
"Oh no you don't! I don't trust you in my house alone. Rin, will you stay here and make sure he doesn't break anything?" Sango asked. Rin nodded and walked back over to the couch.
"I'll just watch another movie while I wait for you guys to come back. Want to join me Sesshoumaru?" Rin asked.
"As long as you don't watch some chick flick, then I guess I can tolerate another movie." As Sesshoumaru went to walk to the couch, the rest of the group went outside.
"Now that my house is Sesshoumaru-proof," Sango muttered. "We should just look around and try to find her. Then when you find her, apologize for Inuyasha, and try to make her come to the house. Seem easy?"
"You say it as if Kagome's two." Miroku said.
"Just do it." Inuyasha replied.
"Fine." Miroku said. Finally the group spilt up. Miroku went down the street, Sango went into the woods, and Inuyasha just cut through lawns. Inuyasha knew where Kagome was. But she would kill him if he brought or told the others where she was. Inuyasha slowed his pace down as the tree appeared into sight. Inuyasha slowly walked over to the tree, making less sound than a ninja. He climbed the tree that he had visited once before. He looked up to see Kagome on the same branch her found her before.
"How dare he act like that! I can't believe he said that in front of everyone. He didn't have the right to embarrass me like that!" Kagome said, anger reflecting in her voice. Inuyasha slightly cringed. All I need to do is make Kagome listen to me…and make sure she doesn't push me out of the tree…oh this is going to be a process. Inuyasha thought, climbing up to where Kagome was sitting.
"Hey Kagome." Kagome turned around and looked at Inuyasha, slightly surprised. She quickly recovered as she faced the other way, proving to Inuyasha it was going to be harder than Sango had thought.
"You come to make fun of me some more? You bring another movie so I can get scared?" Kagome asked.
"No, I came to talk to you wench." Inuyasha replied, sitting next to Kagome. She still refused to look at him. He realized that the comment would not help the matter at hand.
"So now I'm a scared wench?"
"Look...I'm...I didn't mean to get you mad Oka?"
"I highly doubt that Inuyasha." She replied, keeping her gaze away from him.
"I know I shot my mouth off without thinking about your feelings and...I...didn't mean to." Inuyasha looked away from Kagome and stared at the ground.
"So many people 'don't mean to' do things when they really do mean it."
"Kagome..."
"How do I know that you're really didn't mean to?" Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's chin and forced her to look at him. His eyes showed his frustration and misery at the same time.
"Look me in the eye and tell me I'm lying." Inuyasha looked at Kagome, eyes filled with determination. Brown met amber in an intense stare. Kagome tried to say something, anything that would deny his words, but her lips refused to let sound exit her mouth. Inuyasha's hold remained on Kagome's chin, not wanting Kagome to look away from him.
"I…" Was all she could manage to squeak out. No more words, not even another noise was able to pass her lips from her throat.
"You know I'm...I'm sorry." Her eyes widened as Inuyasha shifted slightly. Did she hear him right? He was sorry? Kagome finally nodded and Inuyasha let go of her chin. She looked away from him, but looked back when she heard him moving. He was now climbing down the tree.
"Where are you going?" Kagome asked, making Inuyasha stop and look up at her.
"I'm going back to Sango's house so she doesn't kill me. We were supposed to meet at her house." He replied.
"Can I come?" She asked.
"Well you WERE the whole point in us being out here. If I didn't show up with you, do you think Sango would let me live?" She smiled at his words before she started to climb down. She screamed when she felt him grab her by the waist, jumping down the rest of the tree.
"Inuyasha!" He only smirked as he touched the ground, feeling Kagome flinch in his arms. He slowly deposited her onto her own feet before walking back towards Sango's house.
"Lets go." Kagome nodded before following him.
