They just came and took him. Kagome and everyone. The worst part is though… they… they… DIDNT BRING SHIPPO! Sob
It's okay though, I sent them back to get him, and they should be back soon. We haven't finished our game of monopoly yet, and besides…. They love my cookies!
They wanted me to tell you I do not own them but what they don't know is I have a plan. Looks down at a blank piece of paper and taps blue crayon on the table
Well I'll have one verrryyy soon…
((I also do not own zoolander or Derek… duh))
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"Shippo were home!" Kagome screamed and kicked off her shoes as she entered her house.
"I hope you were good while we were gone." Sango added as she imitated Kagome's actions and took off her shoes.
"Yay! I'm so happy you're finally home!" Shippo came bouncing down the stairs and stopped half way down so that he can jump and be caught by Kagome. "I was really super good today!"
Sango chuckled and ruffled his hair as he started to tell them everything he did while they were gone and Kagome placed him back on the ground.
"What did you give him for lunch?" Sango whispered as Shippo jumped up and down while running in circles around the two girls.
"Uhhh…How about we play a game you guys?" The teenage miko avoided the question and walked up stairs.
"What game? I love games!"
"Kagome?" Sango followed her friend up the stairs and into Souta's/Shippo's bedroom.
"We have a lot of board games in my little brother's closet. I'll pick out one I think Shippo will like."
"Whatever you gave him for lunch NEVER give him it again."
Kagome chuckled as she rummaged threw the closet, throwing clothes, shoes and a banana peel out of her way and behind her.
"EEK!" Sango squealed as she narrowly avoided a shoe colliding with her forehead and watched the banana peel land beside her. "I really don't want to know why there was a banana peel in your brother's closet." She said, mostly to herself, as she looked from the banana peel to the on-coming Shippo.
"HA HA HA!" Shippo laughed as he ran towards Sango, clothes and toys still being thrown out of the closet, which seemed to only further amuse the young kit. "Flying monsters BEWARE! Ahhhh! I think the 'blanknard' (shoe) just tried to kill you! But don't worry, I'll save you!" Sango tried to warn him but was too late.
CRASH
Shippo slipped on the banana peel and fell on his back. He held one arm up in the air while trying to grasp some invisible object, as his eyes began to slowly close.
"I… I don't think I'll m-make it." He pretended to gasp for air and then closed his eyes all the way, he stuck out his tongue so it lay limply out of his mouth and his arm landed beside him with a soft 'thud'.
Sango laughed at the kitsune as his body jerked dramatically.
"Ah-ha! I found it." Kagome emerged from the closet and held up her prize. She looked from Shippo on the ground to Sango, who laughed so hard she was clutching her stomach with both of her arms, and the miko raised an eyebrow in question before shrugging her shoulders and heading back down stairs.
Sango calmed down and considered kicking Shippo to inform him she was leaving but instead just tip-toed out of the room, little giggles escaping her mouth from time to time.
"So what are we playing?" Sango asked as she entered the living room and saw Kagome leaning over the table.
"Candyland, It was always my favorite when I was his age."
"Me too! Good choice. Shippo should be down… uhhh… eventually."
"HEY! WHERE IS EVERYONE?" Shippo's voice rang throughout the house and sometime after he came running into the living room. He sat on the floor by the table and declared that he would be blue. Once all the little plastic guys were picked out and placed on the board, they began their game.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"I win! I win! I win!"
"That's just because you got that fairy girl." Shippo pouted as Kagome stuck out her tongue.
"Oh that's real mature." Sango said and started to clean up the game.
"Don't be such a sore loser Shippo, no one ever likes to play with a sore loser." Kagome put her arm around Shippo and gave him a little nuggie as Sango muttered 'you're one to talk', under her breath.
"Okay I guess so." Shippo smiled and pushed Kagome, who wasn't expecting it and landed on the couch behind her and then Shippo started to tickle her.
"Ahhh… Shiipo! Don't! Stop! Please!" Kagome gasped as she laughed and tried to get Shippo off her, but soon found out she's very weak when she's so busy laughing.
"I didn't know you were so ticklish Kagome, I'll keep that in mind." Sango picked up Shippo, "We should do our homework before the guys come over."
"Oh yeah Sango I forgot to tell you that Koga is going to be joining us tonight also."
"The possessive guy from camp?"
"Yup, he's really sweet though."
Sango just shrugged her shoulders and they headed up stairs to do their homework, Shippo following closely behind.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"Why does it take forever?" Shippo whined for the umpteenth time sense the girls started their homework.
"Well if we had some peace and quiet to concentrate then we would've been done by now." Kagome explained as Sango closed her green English book and said she was finished.
"Im almost done, I only have a few more math problems to do."
"Well they are going to be here really soon. Should I just order a pizza?"
"PIZZA!" Shippo jumped up and down with excitement.
With Kagome's consent, Sango headed back down stairs, Shippo once again closely behind jabbering about how good pizza is and she used the kitchen phone to order a pizza.
DONG DONG DA DING
Sango hung up the phone after the guy said it'd be at her house in 30 minutes or less or your pizza is free. She headed to the door but Shippo stood in front of her.
"We have to ask who it is first, Kagome told me. Don't you remember?" Sango giggled at the kitsune and went along with him, even though she knew who it was.
"You are absolutely right Shippo. Thanks for reminding me." Shippo beamed with pride before facing the door.
"Who is it?"
A low growl emitted from the other side of the door along with a sarcastic 'who do you think?'
"I can't let you in until you tell me who you are." Shippo continued as he glared threateningly at the door and stomped his foot on the ground to get his point across.
"If you don't let me in I'll bust down the damn door!" Shippo gave a little jump as he took a step back.
"Now Inuyasha he's only a little kid so you should watch your language." Another voice chided, "My name is Miroku and my ignorant friend here is Inuyasha, we are here for dinner because Kagome was so kind as to invite us."
Shippo looked up at Sango who nodded then unlocked the door and opened it.
"Hi! My name is Shippo!" The young kit greeted as he held out his hand.
"Nice to meet you, Im Miroku." The 'monk' bent down and accepted the little hand that was offered to him.
"Shippo why don't you go and tell Kagome her guests are here?"
Shippo nodded in excitement as he raced up the stairs, taking them two at a time.
"Isn't he so cute?"
"Annoying is more like it."
Miroku and Inuyasha followed Sango into the kitchen and got them both a soda to drink and told them the pizza would arrive shortly.
DONG DONG DA DING
"That must be Koga." Sango said to herself and ignored Inuyasha's growls.
Sango walked over to the door and opened it. Shippo wasn't there so she didn't have to take any unnecessary precautions.
"Ah, you must be Sango." Koga said and kissed the top of her hand, "My name is Koga. It's a pleasure to meet you, Sango I presume?"
Sango blushed and nodded dumbly at him before coming to her senses and inviting the handsome man in.
"Koga this is Miroku and-"
"Inuyasha. I've already had the displeasure of meeting him." Koga cut in, polite voice forgotten as he glared at the hanyou.
"Yeah well the feelings mutual pal."
Sango got Koga a drink and they all sat down at the kitchen table.
"Where is my Kagome?" Koga wasted no time in asking as he looked around for her, maybe expecting her to appear out of nowhere.
"She'll be down any minute now; she's just upstairs finishing some homework."
Koga's face dropped in disappointment and Miroku began asking him about how he knew Kagome. When the story was finished, Shippo ran into the kitchen and greeted Koga.
"Another person? My name is Shippo!" He declared and held out his hand once again.
"My name is Koga, nice to meet you." Koga chuckled and shuck his hand, probably a bit harder then he intended to because he saw the little kitsune's body shake in unison to when his hand did.
"You're funny!" The kit said, obviously thinking 'funny' to be a great compliment.
"Wow, everyone is here already?" Kagome entered the kitchen. She had changed out of her school uniform and into dark blue jeans that weren't to loose or too tight. She wore a green t-shirt that matched her eyes and hugged the curves of her body. The shirt also had 'Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking' written on it in black letters and had a picture of Derek from zoolander on the back.
"I want to get changed to, I'll be right back."
"Hey Kagome." Koga enclosed the teenage girl in a tight embrace, which she quickly escaped.
"Hey Koga." She turned to the other two and nodded in turn, "Inuyasha, Miroku."
Miroku greeted her but Inuyasha just turned his head and scoffed, mainly because he wanted to hide the slight blush that crossed his face. She looked even more beautiful out of her school uniform.
"I like your shirt, that movie was awesome!" Miroku said as he read her shirt, "It was really funny."
Kagome thanked him and said she liked it too, which every one else agreed to, and then noticed Miroku wasn't reading her shirt anymore but staring at her chest.
"PERVERT!" She screamed and hit him over the head, then turned and went upstairs saying she was going to get something.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"Where the hell did you go?" Inuyasha shouted as Kagome and Sango came down the stairs. "It's not exactly polite to just leave your guests like that ya know!"
"Really now Inuyasha, they were gone for barely a minute."
"Shut-up Miroku! That's not the point here."
"I told you I was going to get something. I got monopoly!" Kagome exclaimed as she set the game down on the kitchen table, which was bigger then the living room table.
"You're all going down, this is MY game. No one ever bets me." Inuyasha grinned, sat down, and started to set up the game, clearly forgetting that he was angry just two seconds ago.
"I get to be the dog!" Kagome gabbed the little dog figure as Inuyasha growled.
"Im always the dog."
"Well so am I and it is MY game so therefore I get to be the dog."
"Why would you want to be the dog?"
"I love dogs, they are so cute. So I am the dog." Kagome demanded.
"No you're not!"
"Yes I am!"
"ARE NOT!"
"ARE NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
"If you say so Inuyasha." Kagome chuckled along with everyone else. Inuyasha, just realizing he told her that she could be the dog, glared and picked up the car.
"Whench." He muttered under his breath, just loud enough so that Kagome could hear.
"Kagome." The miko corrected the hanyou.
"SLUT!" The dog demon yelled in her face.
"JERK!" Everyone's heads kept going from Kagome to Inuyasha and so on, watching the fight pursue.
"BITCH!"
"Baka!"
"Fatty! Why are you wearing that shirt anyways? You're not good looking, in fact you are the ugliest thing I have ever had the displeasure of laying my eyes on! It's called a DIET, ever hear of it?" He winced unnoticeable as he realized what he had just said and the effect it had on her.
BONK
Koga hit Inuyasha over the head and yelled at him. Inuyasha didn't notice however, to intent on watching Kagome as a tear slide down her face. She got up and went upstairs, saying she had to get money for the pizza.
"Where are you going?" Miroku asked rather harshly as Inuyasha got up and exited the kitchen, not bothering to answer.
"What just happened?" Sango asked bewildered. Never seeing two people get into a fight so quickly.
"Inuyasha is such a jerk." Shippo said, everyone nodding in agreement.
"Maybe I should just-" Koga tried to follow after Kagome but Miroku stopped him.
"Just give her sometime too herself. Maybe Inuyasha will try to undo what he has done."
"If he even says one more thing to her Im going to tear him limb from limb." Koga threatened and Miroku tried to change the subject, knowing Kagome wouldn't want to talk to Koga right now.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Inuyasha knocked on Kagome's door, he knew it had to be her room, it had her scent all over it.
"What?" She tried to hold back her sobs but a few escaped.
Inuyasha walked into the still-messy-though-slightly-less-messy room and saw the miko sitting on her bed.
"Look, I didn't mean what I said okay?" He sat down next to her and thought his heart was going to split in two when she looked at him with her tear-stained face. He hated to see girls cry.
The miko tried to figure out why whatever the hanyou said even mattered to her in the first place. She knew it was ridicules to get upset over what he thought but she just couldn't help it. She just looked at the ground silently.
"Im sorry Kagome." The girls head shot up at this and she gave a little smile.
"You said my name." Taken back by this response, Inuyasha just sat there dumbfounded. Finally he chuckled at her and smiled, his first true smile sense his mom had been alive when he was a young boy. He gently touched her cheek and wiped away a few stray tears from her face.
"Can I ask you something Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, still smiling as their eyes met.
"Well you did just ask me something but you can ask another." He said in a joking voice as he kept on smiling. He couldn't help but smile when she smiled like that. Especially if she was smiling because of him.
Kagome laughed a bit too before asking what he looked like when he took his ring off.
Inuyasha's smile dropped as he looked down at his ring. He hadn't shown anyone his true form, besides his mother. Not even Miroku, more so because he'd laugh at him then afraid that he'd not talk to a 'freak' like him anymore. Seeing him suddenly upset Kagome spoke up.
"Im sorry! You don't have to show me if you don't want to."
Mainly out of curiosity, he wanted to know what she thought of him after she saw his true form, he decided he'd show her. Besides, she's seen demons before.
-Sure… and she tries to kill them. Huh? She kills demons, she doesn't befriend them Shut-up!-
"I'll show you." He said suddenly and saw her face light up, he gave a little smile as he took off his ring and put it in his pocket, and then dog ears perched itself on top of his head, along with fangs in his mouth and sharp claws on his hand.
He watched as her eyes grew big yet her smile stayed in place and when she whispered 'I've never seen anything like it', his dog ears swiveled to her direction. When she spoke again, her smile widened, if that's even possible.
"SOOO CUTE!" She squealed and lifted her hands to 'tweak' his ears, which he let her do, mainly because he was surprised by her reaction and didn't notice.
"Don't touch!" He screamed after a minute and realized he was actually enjoying it.
"Awwww… but they are so adorable!"
Inuyasha blushed a bit at that. –Did she just say I was adorable? No, she said you're ears were.
Were do you keep coming from! GO AWAY! But it's very spacious in your head, besides you are the one who created me, why don't YOU get out?-
He was brought back to reality when he felt Kagome's hand over his as she inspected his nails, and then his eyes widened in surprise. She poked the tips of them lightly with her fingers to see how sharp they were.
"So how do you feel about the color pink?" Kagome asked and Inuyasha just looked at her in confusion, his head tilted to the side. "No, maybe your color is purple?"
Inuyasha finally started to catch on and took his hand away from her with a slight growl.
"Calm down Inuyasha, I was just kidding." The teenage girl giggled and saw the hanyou's fangs when he growled. For some reason she found herself wondering if it would hurt if she kissed him.
"Paint ain't getting' anywhere near my nails." He saw the girl next to him blush and turn away, "What?" He asked and looked down at his nails in confusion and then looked back at her.
"It's nothing." She turned back to him and smiled, "Why don't we get something to bring downstairs? I don't feel much like monopoly anymore."
"Huh? Sure." The hanyou stood up, ears swiveling on top of his head. Kagome giggled as she watched them, and then stood up and threw her arms around him in a hug.
"Thanks for showing me." She whispered and he wrapped his arms around her slim waist.
"Anytime."
They stood like that, in each others embrace, for a little while before Kagome reluctantly pulled back and nodded for him to follow her as she sneakily put something in her pocket.
"The games are in my little brother's room."
They entered souta/shippo's room and Kagome get a board game from the closet.
"Twister?" Inuyasha nodded and followed Kagome out of the room.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"Hey guys, who's up for a game of twister?"
Everyone was in the living room watching T.V. and eating pizza, "When did the pizza get here?"
"Yo Kagome!" I saved ya a slice." Koga shouted and patted a seat next to him. "Were watching football."
Miroku and Sango were screaming at the television, then at each other. They weren't exactly rooting for the same team.
Shippo munched happily on his pizza and stared at everyone with amusement.
"Where's dog turd?" Kagome looked around and noticed that Inuyasha was no longer there. Figures.
"Hold on." Kagome set the game on the table and headed back up the stairs and into her room. She saw Inuyasha smelling her pillow with a dazed expression on his face before he saw her and dropped the pillow and walked up to her. Then again, maybe she was seeing things?
"You took my ring?" He stated and held out his hand, "Give it back."
"You're no fun." She pouted and crossed her arms, "You shouldn't have to hide yourself, especially when you're amongst friends."
Inuyasha walked up to her and went into her left pocket before she screamed and jumped onto the bed.
"Come on, give it back!" He jumped onto the bad, kneeling next to her and held both her arms above her head with one hand, and then tickled her with the other. Kagome laughed until tears streamed down her face.
"Promise to give it back?" Kagome tried to speak but she could only manage to laugh, so instead she settled for nodding. Inuyasha released her and Kagome went into her right side pocket and got the ring for him.
"Just once more." She sat up beside him and rubbed his ears again. She was about to stop when she heard a little purr come from Inuyasha. She giggled and let go of his ears.
"I didn't know dogs purred!"
"I didn't!" He blushed and put his ring back on.
Kagome stood up and beckoned for the hanyou to follow as they both went down the stairs.
"Right hand blue Miroku." Shippo shouted as the 'monk' complied.
Inuyasha and Koga were fighting about whose fault it was that they had fallen.
"No one beats me in twister!" Kagome exclaimed.
"You're going down this time!" Sango said from her own spot on the mat, staring at Miroku to make sure he didn't 'accidentally' slip up and then 'accidentally' break his arm.
"Left hand green Sango."
THUMP
Sango fell when she felt something touch her butt.
SLAP
Miroku also fell soon after Sango.
"Yay, I won!" Kagome jumped up from her uncomfortable spot and cheered.
"I would've beaten you if someone kept their hands to themselves."
Miroku chuckled while rubbing the back of his neck and slowly backing away.
"It's getting late. We should all head home where it's safe." Miroku whispered the last part as he walked backwards towards the door, Sango still staring at him clenching and unclenching her fists.
After everyone went home Sango headed off to bed while Kagome made Shippo brush his teeth and then she tucked him into bed. Shippo managed to delay his bed time by convincing Kagome to read him a book and then she headed off to bed herself.
A/N- Okay so not a lot happened in this chapter, I just had to put in some fluff though! Next time Kagome will have to fight a demon, and this time Sango gets to help! Maybe I'll have the two of them fight? Not a real fight of course, just a little spare thing for practice. Which I would like to thank Avelyn Lauren for giving me the idea. I don't know much about the next chapter lol I only know that they are going to fight a demon. I have parts of it planned. I'll try my best to get the next Chapter up quicker, I promise. Maybe if you review it'll motivate me to write and post the next chappie sooner? Hint hint. Sorry, im just rambling now. See ya next Chapter!
Till then…
