Chapter 4 - Meeting Inuyasha
Kagome woke up confused and startled by the cat pouncing on her feet. Where am I? She questioned herself, and quickly recalled last night: "Hello dear." After bestowing a kiss on Kagome's cheek, Keade bent to pet the cats. "Ah, my precious ones. you smell Shippo, dont you? You must visit him but only if you can promise not to torment Khu. In fact." Keade continuing, rasing and adjusting the spray of eucalyptus Kagome kept by the door. Tomorrow, to be honest for I am in quite a pickle."
It took Kagome a moment to relize Keade was talking to her and not the cats. "Whats the problem? Would you like to come in for some tea? Or a cold drink."
"No, thank you, I cannot stay. Did I tel you I would be gone for a extended period this summer?"
Kagome nodded. "America wasnt it.?"
"Yes, I am studying with a air bending and have agreed to look into a little matter of a women who claims to channel for departed spirits." Keade's sniff expressed her opinion of the likelihood that the women was legitimate. I hired a Tulane summer student to stay at the house. An empty house is an invitation to theives."
The rose of Kaedes hat bobbed in vigorous punctuation. "Well my student got mononucleosis. Mono! She's dropping out of school to go home and get well."
"Im sorry to hear that. Will you have to delay your trip?
'I feared so until I conducted a scrying looking for answers. To my surprise, your face appeared in the mirror. Could you house-sit for me, my dear?"
Kagome blinked, startled by the silence that followed Keades question. She was still back a sentence trying to figure out what a scying was. "House-sit?"
"Yes. I will of course, cover the mortgage and utilites. I just ask that you be there and pay for any long distance calls you make. You may bring Bouyu and Kirara with you. I will be gone until autumn." She looked expectantly at Kagome.
Kagome recognized a golden opportunity when she heard one. "Id be glad to. They just raised my rent and I was thinking of moving. This gives me some breathing room to find someplace else."
"Then its settled. Come over tonight after dinner. Ill show you around and give you the key. Im leaving early moring so you can move in anytime tomorrow. Is that ok with you?"
"sounds good."
THATS RIGHT! I TOLD KEADE I WOULD HOUSE SIT FOR HER! Kagome jumped up from the bed then quickly sat back down on the bed's ledge. Woah... got up too quick...dizzy...uhh. She slowly stood back up after the wave of dizzyness dissapeared and walked toward the kitchen. She looked down at the 2 cats rubbing against her legs and pet down to pet them.
"Hey guys, how are you this morning? Ha I am insane, Im talking to cats! Well do you guys want food? Of course you do" She said as she stood back up. She went to the lower cabinet under the sink and pulled out a medium size bag of cat food. 'Meow Mix' she read the label to the cats who were sitting in front of there bowls waiting to be fed. Kagome reached in and found a plastic cup that was already in the bag, she pulled out a full cup and poured it into Bouyo's bowl then did the same for Shippo's bowl. Slowly she scourged along the counter tops looking for a coffee pot. Finally she found it, to her surprise it had brewing coffee already in there. She looked at the button for the on and off and relized it was on. How thoughful of Keade.
She poured herself a cup of coffee and sat down in a big leather arm chair covered in pillows. Kagome relaxed in the chair while drinking her coffee and watching the pets. What should I do today? Going back to bed is not a possibiltiy, and staying home isnt a reasonable choice either. She argued in her mind of what to do today and finally made a mental note of what she was going to do. First, I should wait for Keade's guest to arrive. It wouldnt be polite if he arrived and I wasnt here to greet him. Second I should go to the mall to clothes shop. Then third I have to find people who know where Hounshii is...
Her thoughts were interupted by a knock at the door followed by 5 chimes of the door bell. "Hold on hold on" She said irretantly. Kagome walked to the door, opened it to find a young man standing there studying the doorbell. "Its called a doorbell" Kagome said humorously. The man came out of his thoughts and looked up at her with a smile but then frowned. "Im sorry I must have the wronge place, Im looking for Keade." "No this is the right house. Keade got called away to America on some business thing, Im just house-sitting for her." The man looked up at the roof, "house-sitting?" he asked quite cluelessly. Kagome chuckled slightly, "Not litterallysitting on her house but I am watching it while she is away." "Oh Ok I understand", the young man said. "Would you like to come in?" Kagome asked. "Oh of course" he replied with a smile.
After the man walked in, Kagome shut the door behind him. and turned to face him. She reached her hand foward and said " Im Kagome." He stared at her hand and finally placed his hand in her hand. "Im Inuyasha, and what is this you are doing?"
Oh Kami! Are you serious! Is this guy retarted or somthing. She bluntly explained that it was a greeting to one another, he said he understood but she highly doubted it. She showed him around the house and came one door and slowly opened it for him. "...And this is where you will be staying." Inuyasha walked in, put his things on the floor and walked back to Kagome. "Thank you Kagome, it has been a honor to meet you." She nodded in response and then asked "would you like lunch?" "Yes, that would be nice." And with that she turned and walked back to the kitchen.
Inuyasha walked around the room in disgust. The bed is too hard, the air is stale and its so cramped! He complained to himself. No matter, I shall fix that. And with that Inuyasha flicked his wrist, and a small pink ball apeared. He tossed it onto the bed, and the bed dissapeared and was replaced by a mountain of pillows. With another flick of his wrist and purple ball appeared, he tossed it in the air and everything except the pillows and doors dissapeared and was replaced by wind and curtains.
Outside the door two blue stones appeared, one on each side. Inuyasha, finally satisfied with the room, he removed his haori and yukata along with his under shirt , leaving him completely naked. (Every Inu girl fan's dream!) He looked around for somthing to burn but there was nothing but paper so he used that. He set the paper in front of him and sat down across from it. He chanted 太陽は上がったり、月を置いた。空気を持って来、ライトを持って来なさい。とても明るい火を燃やしなさい。私の中心が取るべきである方法ことを私を示しなさい。私に私の方法をつける方法を示しなさい。
(which means: Rise the sun , set the moon. Bring the air and bring the light. Burn a fire that is so bright. Show me the way my heart should take. Show me how to light my way.)
A bright fire started in front Inuyasha sending smoke to the ceiling.
Back in the kitchen, Kagome was talking with the cats when she relized that Kirara was missing, she walked around the house to find Kirara but stopped dead in her tracks when she smelled smoke. Oh Kami! Not even a whole day in the house and this guy is gonna burn it down! She quickly walked to Inuyasha's room. She reached for the door knob but was pushed back. What the...what are those blue stones at his door and why the hell was I pushed back...She thought furiously but forgot about all that when the smoke alarm went off.
Inuyasha who wasnt expecting anything jumped when he heard the loud siren of the fire alarm. Also letting down his guard, causing the stones to turn grey. Inuyasha tried furiously to stop the horrid sound when Kagome rushed in just in time to see him attack the already half melted fire alarm. Inuyasha quickly calmed down when he saw Kagome and dropped the fire alarm. He looked at her shamful of what he did. Kagome was about to blow up on him when she saw the guilt in his eyes and decided better of it. She put her head down but lifted it up agian to say somthing but stopped. Her gaze was stuck. He..He..HE'S NAKED! She exclaimed in her head. Her eyes went wide at the sight of him. A perfect chiseled body, long silver hair, dog ears on the top of his head, amber eyes that you could loose yourself in, and a huge... She shook herself out of her thought and looked up at his face fast enough she could see the smirk he was giving her. She turned as red as a tomato. But all she had to do was look at the smoke detector and the anger arised again. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING? TRYING TO SET THE HOUSE ON FIRE? BAKA! UHGG! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?" she yelled at him.
His eyes grew wide as the girl in front of him yelled at him. He was shocked at how she had recovered so quickly from the sight that she had just seen. Maybe she is not the one. He was tired of being yelled out and he didnt like how a woman this gorgeous looked while she was angry. "Kagome" he said softly but she was still yelling at him. He tried agian, "Kagome". No use she just kept yelling at him. He walked up to her and grabbed her shoulders and positioning her to face him. Kagome was shocked at his bold move and she stopped yelling. "Finally you have stopped yelling, now will you listen to me?" he asked her. She nodded her reply. "Good, now the fire is part of somthing my people do when we arrive in a new place. And I was thinking maybe I could find my place here on this place." He looked at her, she looked at him. "Well why was I pushed back when I tried to get into your room? And..." She looked around the room before asking. "...why is the room...different."
Inuyasha chuckled at her amazment. "Those are stones of privacy. Where Im from we use those to keep people out when we want privacy. And I like the way this looks much better, dont you."
"yeah..." she said still amazed of the room.
Inuyasha had already let go of her and flicked a wrist and a yellow ball appeared, he threw it on the floor and a cloud of blue smoke appeared. "What the..." Kagome began but stopped when she saw the smoke clear and the mess on the floor including the smoke detector, was all gone. She muttered a 'wow' under her breath then looked at Inuyasha. He gave her a grin then asked "How about lunch?"
Kagome quickly forgot about that whole fire incident and bolted toward the kitchen. She forgot about lunch. She was so preoccupied. She looked in the fridge and pulled out Mayo, mustard, ham and cheese. On the counter was the bread. Kagome quickly made Ham and Cheese sandwiches and Ramen for Inuyasha and her. "Lunch is ready" she called.
Inuyasha was in there in less than a second and grabbed a sandwich and a bowl of Ramen. "Wow this is so good" he said after taking 2 bites of his sandwich and 2 spoonfulls of Ramen.
Lunch was over shortly after ward and Kagome cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen while Inuyasha was petting the cats.
"Kagome, did you know that there were 3 cats?" Inuyasha asked her. Kagome turned and looked down at Inuyasha and sure enough there was 3 cats, Shippo, Boyu, and Kirara. "Where were you Kirara? I looked all over for you." Kagome said, giving Kirara a bowl of food. Inuyasha looked up at Kagome as she kneeled down to pet the cats. Kagome looked up to see Inuyasha looking at her, she looked at his eyes and everything suddenly dissapeared. When he blinked she came back to consiousness and began to blush. They both stood up at once, Kagome was the first one to break the silence "I have to go to the mall, then to find people who know this one man that my boss wants to talk to. Do you want to come with me or would you rather stay here?" Inuyasha looked at her curiously. What was a mall? "Yeah I'll go, sounds like fun."
They both went into there rooms, Kagome went to go get a shower and Inuyasha was in his room lying down on his pillows in his favorite outfit. It was a outfit that his father had givin him when he was just born, then his father died. This outfit was special to him and it was made out of the extinct Fire Rat.
Kagome began washing her hair when the image of Inuyasha naked popped in her mind. And she began to blush. He looks so perfect! Was he even dressed when he came to eat lunch? I dont remember. She finished her shower quickly and dressed in a dark blue jean mini skirt that frayed outward at the bottom and a over sized black t-shirt, the neck line was so stretched out that it came to her shoulders which gave it that american 80's look. She put on her black heels that tied up her legs. Her long wavy raven hair was kept down but a simple clip it the back.
She walked out of the room and walked to Inuyasha's room. She looked at the rocks, they were grey. She reached for the door knob, when she didnt get thrown back she decided it was ok to enter. So she slowly opened his door to find him laying on his back stareing up at the ceiling and his hands underneath his head. Kagome cleared her throat to get his attention, he looked over at her and nodded. She walked out but was stopped when Inuyasha appeared in front of her. He looked at her. Her glowing, warm fair skin, waiting to be tasted. Her marbled chocolate orbs and long wavy raven locks of hair. She looked like a creature sent by Kami to torchure him. He looked down at her cloths and was stunned. He could the upper swells of her breast through her shirt, and her long inviting legs. He looked at her face once again. He wanted so bad to taste her lips.
Kagome looked at him as he acted like that wolf you see in those old cartoons, where there eyes are popping out of his head and his tounge touching the floor. It felt good to know that she looked great in something for once and to know that this really handsome. gorgeous man thought so too.
Inuyasha reached for her shoulders and pulled her closer to him. He looked into her eyes, she looked into his. Leaned down and kissed her lips lightly. He looked at her agian then kissed her once more with a little more pressure. He let her go and watched her. She was shocked but when she recovered she looked at him in confustion. He saw her confusetion and replyed "you look beautiful Kagome." And with that he headed out the house. Kagome stood there, takeing in everything that had just happened,when it finally registered in her head she walked out the door to the car. She opened the drivers side only to remember that Inuyasha was also to go with her. She looked around for him. "Inuyasha?" She called out. "You looking for me?" a deep voice came from behind her. She jumped and turned only to be greeted by a giggling hanyou. He got in the car, and so did she. He moved around uncomfortably until he chanted sumthing under his breath and with a few more twists and turns he became comfortable. Kagome looked over to him in question. "Its a demon spell used to make space." He answered her as if he had read her mind. "No i didnt read your mind, I can just tell by the look in your eyes." He said after looking at her in shock that he answered her unasked questions. They were quiet on there way to the mall until Inuyasha asked "What are we doing here agian?" Kagome giggleing thinking whether she should tell him that he will have to wait for her to try on cloths. So she just said "Shopping for a few clothes" Inuyasha nodded his understanding. When they found a spot in the parking lott Inuyasha got out of the car as did Kagome. He smelled the air and wrinkled his nose. Kagome saw this asked what was wronge. "The smell is so un fresh and musty. It reaks here." He said disgutingly. She shook her head at his complaining and just began walking to the mall entrance.
Once inside Inuyasha relaxed. It still didnt smell so nice but it did smell better then outside. Kagome dragged him into a store called Couture&Vouge. She rushed inside there and began scurring through the racks and pileing things on top of Inuyasha's arms. When she was satisfied with what she saw and had to try on, she went into the dressing room and had Inuyasha put the clothes down on the bench in the dressing room. She told him to sit down and wait for her to come out so he could tell her what he thought of it.
Kagome had been wanting to come here was soon as it opened which had been for 5 days so these were all new clothes in here.
Inuyasha sat down in a red plush chair and looked to his right and left, there were about 8 other guys sitting there, looking so bored. One of them asked Inuyasha "Girlfriend?" Inuyasha didnt know what that meant so he just nodded. The guy shook his head and then said "I feel sorry for you. Right now its just watching them change into clothes, then they'll be having you carry there purses around" Inuyasha didnt know what the man was talking about so he just nodded as if he understood.
Kagome tried on a few things and Inuyasha seemed to like them. So she decided to try all of them on.
Inuyasha thought this was fun, watching this beautiful girl change into batheing suits, lingere, dresses, shirts, skirts, pants. But after about 3 hours of it he began getting annoyed. "Kagome are you done yet?" He asked her. "Yeah let me just get my other clothes on." Kagome came out with nothing except 2 bathing suits. One was a gold one peice. The sides were cut off though, leaving only a peice connecting the top part to the bottom part on both the back and front. The other one was a two piece. It was brown and white. The top was white with a brown stripe across it, and the bottom was white with brown strings on both sides since the bottom had to be tied to be kept up. Inuyasha freaked out. "Is that it?" Kagome looked at him and nodded. "Bu...But what about the others that you tried on.?" He exclaimed. "I just need batheing suits for now." She said calmly. Inuyasha was ticked, she had just spent 3 hours in a changing room and is not going to even buy anything but batheing suits. Kagome was about to walk out the store with her new batheing suits when she relized Inuyasha wasnt with her. She turned and saw that he was still standing there gazing into space. She grabbed his arm and he jerked his head toward her. Her touch calmed him down and soothed him. She looked at him worridly but he just gave a her smile and they walked out of the store. Inuyasha heard barking and wanted to go to where it was coming from. Kagome showed him and he seemed to be hypnotized by the dogs. Kagome touched his shoulder to get his attention. But instead he looked up, with anxiousness in his eyes. "Kagome can we pet one?" He asked exitedly. "Yeah, sure" she agreed. Kagome went to go get one of workers to put them in a booth and give them the dog of there choice. Inuyasha looked like a child on christmas. He was so happy and was haveing fun. A hour past when Kagome told him that they had to leave. The mall was closing. He looked so sad when he had to give the dog back. So Kagome told him to go to the car and she would be there in a minute. Inuyasha did as he was told and thought. What could she be doing. She already has cats so I dont think she would get a dog. Kagome came to the car and got it. Inuyasha looked at her. She looked at him too. "What?" "What were you doing?" "I just needed to see somthing." "Oh ok." And with that she drove back to the house.
It was already 7 and she hadnt exercised yet, none the less she didnt go look for people who knew her step father, then again she didnt really care. She didnt like her step father, she never did.
