CHAPTER 8
Inuyasha was shocked. It all made sense, his father was human and Kouga was human. His shock was soon replaced with anger. How could his father do that to his mother? But that feeling soon dropped. It couldn't be helped what was done was done. But he was still half brothers with Kouga. Judging by the looks of things, Kouga didn't know but his mother did.
"I guess mom had a right to keep this from me." He muttered as he walked to the university. That was where his father, Hiroto worked as a professor of calculus.
The hanyou sniffed the air; his father was in this very room. He opened the door and entered. There was a lecture going on and his father was center stage. Inuyasha took a seat in the back row and watched the lesson.
Fifteen minutes had gone by and Inuyasha was bored. He already knew the concept his father was teaching. Though he was only in high school, he has mastered what advanced college math students had learned. I guess you can say he got his math genes from his father.
"Now, can anyone come up here and solve this equation?" Hiroto asked. No one stood up, for everyone was confused. Inuyasha got up and walked to the front of the large room. Hiroto looked surprised for he hasn't seen this student before. He handed the chalk to the silver haired boy in front of him. The boy took the chalked the complicated equation in a matter of seconds. There were murmurs from the students up above, they were curious about the math whiz.
The boy stopped writing since he was finished with the problem and then the dismissal bell rung. Everyone filed out, except for Inuyasha and the professor.
The professor gathered his coat and briefcase. He glanced at the boy and saw his school uniform, a high school student? How could that be?
"Where did you learn how to do math like that?" the professor asked curiously. The amber eyed boy was surprised and answered evenly.
"I like doing math." was his simple answer. The professor held out his hand.
"Hiroto." Inuyasha took his hand out of his pocket and shook his hand.
"Inuyasha." Both smiled but was interrupted by a voice.
"Hey dad, ready to go?" The two looked up to see Kouga. Hiroto nodded to his son and said good bye to Inuyasha.
"Good bye Inuyasha, it was nice to meet you." Inuyasha nodded and walked up to the door. He nodded to Kouga and left.
*~*~*~* The Next Day~*~*~*~*
RING RING RING
Kagome groaned, who would call at this hour? She looked at the caller ID and her eyes widened, Inuyasha??!! Her hands flew to the phone and she answered it.
"Morning 'gome. You up yet?"
"Yeah, thanks to you."
"Um, sorry about that, but look outside."
"Why?"
"Just look ok? Just rust me on this."
"Ok, hold on."
Kagome walked over to the window and opened the curtains. Her eyes widened at the sight. "Kirei.." It had snowed last night and now, it was a winter wonderland.
Inuyasha chuckled at Kagome's naivety.
"It's so pretty Inuyasha!!"
"Yeah, so I was thinking, you want to go back to Cerulean Lake today? We're not ditching school again, it's the weekend."
"Alright Inuyasha, come to my house in about an hour."
"See you then."
Kagome changed into waterproof pants and a sweater. She skipped to breakfast and ate it fast since she had to get ready. No one was home, her mother had gone to work and her brother had gone to Sango's house to play with Kohaku. She slipped on her warm coat and her blue gloves and scarf. While she was putting her hair into a ponytail, the door bell rang, it was Inuyasha. She quickly tied the ponytail and opened the door.
"Hi! Ready to go?" Inuyasha asked.
She nodded and smiled. Locking the door behind her, the duo walked to the train station.
"Now approaching Cerulean Lake, please be careful when getting off, thank you for riding."
Kagome got off the train and Inuyasha followed. She unconsciously took Inuyasha's hand in hers. Inuyasha acknowledged it and gave her slender hand a squeeze, the warmth of his hand seeping into hers. In a comfortable silence, the two rode to the island in the middle of the lake.
Instead of renting bikes like last time (it would be too hard to ride in snow anyway) they walked to the center of the island where the park was. Much to their surprise, it was deserted and it was only them there. Kagome ran excitedly to the freshly fallen snow.
"Come on Inuyasha!! Let's make a snowman!" Kagome took a medium sized snowball and started rolling it around, the mass slowly getting bigger. When the "snowball" finally got to the point of being Impossible for Kagome to roll anymore, she stopped. Standing up, she looked for Inuyasha. There he was, rolling another snowball but he stopped and looked at her snowball. He then picked up his snowball with ease. He walked over and placed it gently on top of hers.
When Inuyasha turned around, he smirked at Kagome's face, shocked.
"I'm hanyou remember?" She mentally smacked herself for forgetting that one little detail. Inuyasha then started rolling the third ball of snow for the head. He gingerly placed it on top and Kagome stuck the rocks and twigs in for the physical features.
When she stuck the last rock in, something hit her on the back of her head, cold and stinging her warm skin. She turned around and she saw Inuyasha smiling smugly.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome said in a sugary sweet voice. Her hands were reaching behind her, taking a bit of snow and hiding it in her hand. She walked up to Inuyasha, who was frozen to his spot, confused. She leaned her face near his face, where Inuyasha could feel her warm breath on his nose. She stared into his eyes and he stared into hers. Their lips only a few inches apart.
Inuyasha was lost in the depths of chocolate when he was snapped out of his reverie when his face was cold and stinging from the sudden cold sensation. His amber eyes widened in surprise and watched Kagome as she ran away from him, giggling.
A smile that defined revenge rose on his cold lips and he ran after her.
Balls of snow flew through the air and shrieks were heard. Panting, Kagome collapsed into the cooling snow. Her face upward to the sky. Beside her, she heard Inuyasha drop too. Both looked up to the sky, where the sun had come out and the skies were blue. Sitting up, she walked over to the picnic bench nearby. She sat down and started piling the snow and shaping it.
Inuyasha sat up when he heard her stand up and walk to the picnic table. He waited until she called him over. He stood up and shook off the excess snow while he walked to Kagome. When he reached her, his eyes darted to the little figure Kagome had made. It was…him. There stood mini Inuyasha made of snow, in his hanyou form. It was a little lopsided but Inuyasha smiled at Kagome for trying.
He sat down next to her and his hands gathered more snow and shaped it. Inuyasha was half way done when Kagome figured out what he was making. She quickly made three balls and put them together. Inuyasha was decorating his with the twigs on the table while Kagome did the same.
The two faced each other and showed each other their snowmen. Kagome had a "girl" snowman while Inuyasha's was a grumpy looking one. His snowman had one twig for a mouth and it made the snowman have a strict and grumpy expression.
"Mou, your snowman's a grouch, Inuyasha-kun." Her fingers took a remaining twig and placed it on Inuyasha's snowman.
Inuyasha started chuckling,
"It looks like it's ready to kiss someone!" He suddenly stopped and one of his large hands encircled Kagome's snowman while the other hand encircled his own. He pushed them together until their "lips" touched.
"Kawaii! They're kissing!" She looked at Inuyasha to see his reaction when she caught him looking at her. His face lowered to hers and his soft lips touched her lips in a short but sweet kiss. He pulled away and looked at Kagome. She was shocked but a smile rose from her pink cherry lips.
"He kissed me! Does this mean that he likes me too? It's okay, I will find out later, we will have our whole lives together anyhow." Kagome mused in her head.
The rest of the day went by fast and before they knew it, they were walking in a town near Cerulean Lake. The streets were bustling with people. They were playing the "Get to know you" game, while taking in the sights. It was Kagome's turn to ask a question when she thought of one.
"What's your favorite animal?"
Inuyasha paused for a bit thinking and then his face lit up. He stopped walking and faced Kagome.
"You want to know what my favorite animal is? Well, my favorite animal is a human."
"Just one human? Who is it?" Kagome asked, her curiosity getting the better of her. His amber eyes softened and he replied.
"On New Year's Eve, which is a week away, meet me right at this spot and we shall spend the beginning of a New Year together. And then I will tell you who my favorite human is."
Kagome nodded and grasped his hand, heading to the train station to go back home.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha stood with Kagome in front of the front gate.
"Would you like to come in for dinner?" she asked him, her eyes pleading.
"Sure." Happily, she walked inside with Inuyasha behind her.
"I'm home with a guest!"
"Hey sis! I just got home." Souta yelled, running down the stairs.
"Who's this?" he questioned, as he saw Inuyasha.
"Souta, meet Inuyasha. Inuyasha, this is my brother, Souta."
"Hey kid." Inuyasha greeted smiling warmly.
"Hi! Do you want to play video games with me?"
"Souta, where's mom?" Kagome looking around, but not seeing her mother.
"Oh, she called and said have dinner without her since she's working late." Souta replied, pulling Inuyasha to the living room to play games.
"Is ramen for dinner okay for you two?" Two loud yeses answered her and she set to work cooking the ramen.
Ten minutes later, the two boys came into the kitchen, following the delicious smells drifting throughout the house. Kagome set out the bowls and the three started eating hungrily.
~*~*~*~*~*AFTER DINNER~*~*~*~*~*
"Bye Inuyasha, I hope you enjoyed your dinner. And thank you very much for today."
"I had a lot of fun Kagome and I am glad you enjoyed today. See ya at school on Monday okay?"
Kagome nodded and looked at his bare hands. Taking out her blue gloves out of her pocket, she told Inuyasha to hold out is hands. Taking each hand she slipped a glove on each.
"But Kagome, these are yours. And besides, hanyous don't get cold." he protested.
"No, I want you to borrow them. Give them back to me on New Year's Eve. I'll be fine, I have another pair anyways." Inuyasha saw the stubbornness in her eyes and just gave up.
"Night Kagome. Sweet dreams."
"You too Inuyasha."
With one last smile, he looked at her and walked away.
