The Goth wars

by Demonica... yes and sorry to say I still don't own any of Inuyasha. Period. So don't sue me.. I'm a highschool student that lives off of cold pizza and Rama, but I will settle for terrorizing the characters.

Chapter 4

Sunlight filtered through the gauzy white curtains across from Kagome, who was still in a snack coma from the night before, snoring lightly with her face sideways on the pillow.

" Should we wake her up?" Shippo asked as three heads appeared through a crack in the door, Inuyasha just stared at the girl while Sesshomaru shook his head.

" I don't think it would be a good idea to wake her, remember when Rin ate you chocolate Shippo?" Sesshomaru asked as the other two young men shuddered at the memory of a hyperactive woman chasing them with a chain saw. Sesshomaru nodded and proceeded down the hall to the kitchens to begin breakfast as Rin tottered out of her and Sessh's room with thoroughly dishevelled hair and a tooth brush hanging out of her mouth.

" GO down stairs!" she snapped at the pair as they scurried away, still in their night clothes, better to be in the cold kitchen and half dressed than stand the wrath of Rin in the morning. Rin peeked through the crack in the door before going back to her room and cleaning up.

Kagome's head hurt like well, like Ow. She muttered a few choice words as she rolled over in her bed, scrunching the pillow over her head to block out the extremely bright light that was coming from her left.

" Kagome?" a voice, even though they were whispering was really, really loud. Moaning in protest she pulled the pillow closer over her ears to block out the humming noise of everyday life out of her ears.

Why was her head hurting like this anyway? She wasn't given any thinking time as her pillow was ripped from her head and covers pulled off as well. " Kagome! Get up now!" Rin snapped as she flipped the mattress she was lying on.

Kagome, in a matter of seconds, found herself flat on the floor, it was really a nice floor. Kagome looked up in somewhat of a daze as Rin's face came into view, why was Rin in her bedroom?

" Rin why are you in my bedroom?" Kagoem asked as Rin shook her head and pulled her to her feet, leading her into the bathroom." Why are we" Kagome never finished her sentence as Rin pushed her into the jacuzzi sized bathtub, shortly followed by a bucket of ice water and then another bucket of ice water. THAT woke her up, just as Rin about to douse her in another bucket of ice water Sesshomaru came in taking the bucket away from his fiancee.

" Rin I think you've thoroughly frozen the girl and woken her up, go get her some clothes." He said to the small woman who bustled out of the room in search of clothes. Kagome sat at the bottom of the tub shivering as Sessh threw a towel at her, she caught it wrapping it firmly around her. Why was she at Rin's house? At why did her head hurt so much? All she remembered from last night was going to the kitchen...

" Here" Sessh held his hand out to her, why was that move so familiar? She accepted and stood on wobbly legs as he vanished out of the bathroom door once again yelling something to someone within the house. Rin returned a few seconds later with a pair of shippo's jeans, one of Inuyasha's shirts saying " normal people scare me"

" Here, all I could find you were these and" Rin held up a pair of boxers and a sports bra " these, unless you want to wear a thong.." Kagome snatched the clothes from Rin and closed the bathroom door. Yeah right like she was going to wear a thong... stupid butt floss. Kagome changed and walked out of the bathroom, now where was her coat and socks? She searched her room until she found them hanging over a chair as she pulled on her knee high black and green socks and pulled her beaten army jacket over her ten times too big shirt.

Now, food, she could smell it but where was it coming from? And she also wanted some answers as to why she was still at Rin's house and not at home like she should be, and why was her head hurting so much?

Stepping out of her room she followed the sound of voices all the way to the marble stair case and then down into the kitchen, Inuyasha, Shippo and Sesshomaru were sitting at the table, all with their shirts off and Rin was standing by the stove with a flower apron on.

" ahh! My eyes! it burns!" Kagoem yelled covering her eyes with her hands as everyone but Rin turned to look at her. Kagome secretly snickered as Inuyasha gave her a glare,

" You know you like the sight Fagome" Inuyasha said as a frying pan hit him in the back of the head. Kagome smiled as she lifted the heavy object again, Inuyasha's hand grabbing her wrist, causing the frying pan to fall to the floor. " why the hell did you do that!" he snapped as Kagome slapped him with her free hand.

" Because you're an ass! And because I could, you ass! " She yelled in his face as he growled. Kagome grinned as she kicked his shin, that made him angry as the grip on her wrist tightened so much so that she could feel the bones groaning under the pressure. " Let go!" she yelled as he just tightened his grip. Kagome was scared, she looked up as she did the last thing possible, went for a low blow. Inuyasha crippled to the floor as Kagome ran for it, she couldn't feel anything in her left hand as she took a left and smacked straight into a wall. Kagome saw everything above her spin as she stared upwards at the skylight, so pretty! she watched the rain fall in awesome patterns. She couldn't remember how long she lay there until Shippo's face appeared over hers.

" Wow Kagome! You ran a long way, I haven't been in this part of the mansion in years!" Kagome looked around, this part of the mansion was so old it looked like an ancient Japanese mansion not the modern day version she had been all over.

" Shippo how long have I been here and what exactly happened last night?" She asked as Shippo ran his hand through tousled red locks. He pulled her to her feet and handed her a popart.

" You've been lying on the floor there for about half a day I would say, and we need to find the others to tell you about last night" Shippo said as he pulled a walkie talkie from his pocket, Kagome got a sinking feeling that she really didn't want to know what had transpired the night before. " Guys I found her, she was in the old part, yeah, she hit the wall with the dog mural, no, no its fine but I don't think Kagome is." There was a pause " Shut up Inuyasha!" Shippo snapped as he turned off the walkie talkie. Shippo grabbed her left wrist, Pain shot up it as she cried out, cradling the appendage against her chest. Shippo jumped as he shook his head and apologised before say a few choice words about Inuyasha before leading her down the dark halls. It was a good five minutes before they met up with anyone and another 5 before they reached the kitchen where Inuyasha sat sulking like a three year old. Kagome ignored him and took a seat at the table, Rin came in and started fussing over Kagome as the other two men sat across the table from her, Inuyasha still sulking on the island.

" Say you're sorry Inuyasha!" Shippo yelled, standing and glaring at his older half brother. Inuyasha just glared at him.

" No, I will not say sorry to a freak" He snapped as Shippo stared open mouthed at Inuyasha.

" I never thought I would hear that from you of all people!" Shippo said as Rin gasped and covered her mouth, as Kagome looked at the floor her hands glowing pink slightly.

" Don't bother Shippo, He won't just like I will never tell him, oh never mind" She stood and left the kitchen. Right now she needed Sango or Miroku, they would understand, they always did.

Back in the kitchen...

" INUYASHA!" Sesshomaru's voice boomed over the kitchen making the pots and pans rattle. Rin glared from her fiancee's side and Shippo held a paw full of fox-fire. Their concealment charms had fallen and Inuyasha's ears buried themselves into his long silver hair. " You, I thought you had changed but I guess we were wrong. DO you have any idea how many times that girl has stuck her neck out for you only to be trampled or squished by Kikyo and Naraku and ultimately you!" Sessh was on a roll now and only a natural disaster or something to that magnitude would stop him.

" How is it my fault?" Inuyasha snapped as he rounded on Sessh fire in his eyes.

" Do you remember grade 3 when no one knew you and no one bothered to give you a valentine because you were the new kid? And remember that odd valentine that wound up in your desk but you couldn't read the signature?" Sessh said as he raised his eye brow.

Flashback

Inuyasha stared at the brown paper bag hung on the front of his desk, the teacher had allowed the kids to hand out their valentines. It had only taken a few minutes to pass them out and now other kids were reading theirs, Inuyasha didn't even bother to take his off his bag, he knew there was nothing in it.

The recess bell rang.

Everyone left the room, Inuyasha pulling on his coat and tottering outside to meet Kikyo and Naraku. Kagome looked up and down the hall, sticking her head out of the room. No one was around or so she thought scribbling her name in horrific handwriting she stuffed the valentine into Inuyasha's desk before pulling on her coat and walking outside. She never noticed Sesshomaru passing in the hall with the attendance for his grade 7 class.

End flash back

Inuyasha stood rooted to the spot, He still had that valentine up in his room. Sessh stood frowning,

" I also remember what you did to her right after that" Inuyasha paled.

Flashback

"Hey Fagome how are you today?" Naraku asked the girl sitting on the swing set. Inuyasha and Kikyo snickered as Kagome continued to look at the grey pebbles under her feet. " Hey I asked you a question!" Naraku snapped as he pushed her, Kagome fell out of her swing and looked up into his eyes. Inuyasha and Kikyo smiled as Inuyasha dumped a carton of sour chocolate milk over her head.

" Happy Valentines day Fagome, I was going to give you a hug but you know I don't hug people who reek" Inuyasha taunted as tears collected on the sides of her lashes, before she rushed into the school, Inuyasha dumping another carton of milk over her head as she rushed past.

End flashback

" What did she ever do to you Inuyasha?" Rin whispered as tears leaked down her face, she had bee a grade younger than Sesshomaru but she could still remember trying to help the poor girl get the milk out of her long braids. Sessh hugged Rin as she shoved him off, walking over to Inuyasha she stood not even two feet from him. " Do you want to hear about something I remember she did for you and never even mentioned your name"

Flashback (A/N: Don't hurt me!cowers behind couch)

"I want who ever did this to come forward" The teacher snapped as she pulled the remains of glue, marker, molasses, paint, rulers and anything else she had dumped over her head from the bucket that had been meant for Kagome.

Kagome had seen Inuyasha, Naraku and Kikyo setting it up since she had been hiding in the library. One could never be too cautious on April fools day. It had been Inuyasha's idea, he still had the blue prints in his desk along with the shopping list of what they needed. The teachers eyes swept the room as they landed on Inuyasha.

" Mr. Takahashi can you please empty your desk and pockets please as well as you Mr. Onigumo" The teacher said as the two boys exchanged glances.

" I did it. I'm sorry Miss but it was an April fools joke for some people" Kagome said as she stood and looked at her desk. The teacher seemed eternally appalled at the idea of a star student doing such a thing.

" Well I'm sure we can over look this but right now I want you to go get the janitor and clean this mess up!" The teacher bustled out of the room as everyone in the class laughed at her.

End flashback

Inuyasha looked at the floor, he remembered that day as well. Why had she gone to such trouble to keep him out of harms way when he caused her so much pain? A million thoughts ran through his head most on the line of why did she not tell on me?

Rin glared at him before grabbing a poptart box and marching out of the kitchen in the direction Kagome had run.

" Dude, you have not only gotten Kagome angry but now Rin is against you, you're screwed unless you do something big to make them both like you again and for Kagome i don't think it would take much." Shippo said before he too left to find Kagome so that the two brothers were the only ones left in the kitchen.

Inuyasha sighed and slumped down onto the floor, face in his hands as Sessh 'accidentally' knocked a pot off of the island onto his head.

" Sorry, it slipped" was his excuse as he rescued the Noodles from the stove. Inuyasha didn't hear him.

" What do I have to do to show Kagome I don't hate her" Inuyasha finally mumbled as Sessh sat at the table eating an enormous bowl of Mac and cheeze with so much cheeze you couldn't see the noodles. He chewed for a minute before answering,

" For a start don't call her Fag-ome, that's just nasty. Just try to make peace with her and her friends, I dunno hang out with her, get to know her. Allow her to talk to you and you her, and whatever you do, the woman is always right so don't tell her to eff off or anything and whatever you do say away from Kikyo and Naraku" Sessh concluded his statement by shovelling more mac and cheeze into his mouth. Inuyasha knew that was about as much as he was going to get from Sessh without getting a pounding so he decided on one thing once and for all.

He would find a way to repay Kagome for everything she had done to save his ignorant ass.
