Chapter 15

Tea and Charades

Inuyasha and Kagome had changed out of their wet clothes. Inuyasha and Kagome were wearing some of Miroku's clothes. Miroku was fixing some hot tea in the kitchen, and Sango chatted with Kagome. Miroku came into the room holding two glasses of tea.

"Here you go Kagome," He handed one to her as he spoke, "and one for you Inuyasha."

"Thank you Miroku," Kagome said.

"Thanks," Inuyasha said.

Miroku sat on a chair across from the couch that everyone else sat on. "Well, the storm seems to be getting worse." He turned his body towards a window and looked out it. The rain was beating on the window. It sounded like someone was hitting it with a baseball bat. "You all should probably stay until it clears up."

"Ah, I'm supposed to study for a math test!" Kagome said worriedly.

"I'll help you study, Kagome," Sango said. "Inuyasha will too, won't you?"

"What? I'm not studying for that stupid test."

"You never study," Kagome commented.

"It's a wonder you ever graduated," Sango added.

"Shut up!" Inuyasha said guzzling down some tea. "Damn! It's hot!" He began to fan his mouth with his hand.

"That's what you get for chugging hot tea," Sango said.

Miroku chuckled at their bickering.

"What are you laughing at?" Inuyasha asked annoyed.

"Oh, nothing," Miroku said. "How about some TV?" He grabbed the remote and pressed the power button.

A few seconds after the TV was on, a flash of lightning lit up the sky and all the power cut off, followed by a loud clap of thunder.

"Oh great! Where's my flashlight?" Miroku said fumbling around the room.

Nobody could see him, but they heard his footsteps and him bumping into the furniture. After a minute or two a beam of light shone onto the back of Inuyasha's head.

"Found it!" Miroku said triumphantly. He walked over to the other three. "Well, I guess we'll have to find something else to do now, eh?"

"I'll just sleep," Inuyasha said.

"What about charades?" Sango suggested. "I always did that with my family when something like this happened."

"Great idea!" Miroku said. "Who wants to go first? No one? I'll go then!"

He handed Inuyasha the flashlight and walked three feet in front of the couch.

"Now then, who am I?" Miroku asked.

He toughened up his face and flexed his muscles, then sat down crossing his arms in a sulking manner. He then got up and touched his hair and ran his hand through it and down his back. Then he rubbed his hand just above his knee and smiled doing a twirl. The group looked confused. He rubbed his hand above his knee trying to symbolize a skirt. Then he made a pouting face and balled one of his hand into a fist and hit it into the palm of the other.

"You jerk!" Inuyasha yelled out, "I don't act like that!"

"Actually…" Miroku began to say.

Inuyasha leaped up from his seat, dropping the flashlight on Kagome's lap, and put Miroku in a headlock. The girls sighed as the two wrestled on the carpet.

"Kagome, want some more tea?" Sango asked.

"Sure," Kagome replied.

The two got up from the couch and walked to the kitchen taking the flashlight with them. As they reached the kitchen, they heard some curses and the sound of bodies running into furniture. Inuyasha and Miroku soon stepped into the kitchen as well.

"Why'd you take the flashlight with you?" Inuyasha asked annoyed. "I ran into a table because of you!"

"It's your own fault for being so uncoordinated in the dark," Kagome said.

Inuyasha scoffed at the comment.

"Well, how about we all get to bed then?" Miroku suggested. "There's two beds here, one's Inuyasha's. Sango, you can sleep with me toni-"

Sango smacked Miroku over the head. "Lech, I'm sleeping with Kagome. You can sleep with your boyfriend."

Miroku and Inuyasha were reminded of their kiss and they both shivered in disgust. Sango and Kagome laughed as they headed to their room.

Inuyasha tossed in the bed. It was too small to share with someone else, and Miroku was hogging over half the bed. He finally decided to just sleep on the couch. He got up and quietly walked out to the living room. He sat down on part of the couch, and was greeted with a groan.

He immediately jumped up as something on the couch moved.

"Jeez, I was almost asleep," Kagome said sitting up.

"Oh, Kagome. What are you doing?" Inuyasha asked.

"I'm trying to get to sleep, it's not very comfy on that bed. It's meant for one person, not two."

"Same here, and Miroku's a bed hog."

"Heh, that's something Miroku and Sango have in common," Kagome said smiling in the dark. "Um…you want to sit down?"

"Uh, sure." Inuyasha sat down on the opposite end of the couch.

"Um…uh," Kagome struggled to think of something to say.

"I'll let you get some sleep," he said getting down onto the floor.

"Oh, you don't have to sleep on the floor. I can sleep there if you want the couch," Kagome said.

"Nah, I don't need it," he said.

"Are you sure? It doesn't seem very comfy."

"I said I don't need it! I don't want you sleeping on the floor." Inuyasha said.

For some reason that comment made Kagome smile. Somehow, what he said seemed caring, in his own way. "Alright then, goodnight."

"Night."

Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes as he was blinded by the light coming in from the nearby window. He felt something on top of him. He sat up and saw a blanket fall onto his lap.

"Morning sleepy head!" Miroku said cheerfully. "Wasn't it nice of Kagome to get you a blanket? I would have just let you sleep without one."

"Thanks," Inuyasha said sarcastically getting up from the floor. "Where's Sango and Kagome?"

"Oh they left an hour ago. They were talking about how they didn't want to be late for school."

"School? Why didn't you wake me up?" Inuyasha yelled.

"You just looked so peaceful, I couldn't bear to wake you." Miroku said smirking.

"You're an ass," Inuyasha said grabbing his uniform he had brought over yesterday and going to the bathroom to change.

He finished changing, and ran out the front door. Miroku ran after him trying to stop him, but gave up. He sighed, "I would have given him a ride. Oh well, he could use the exercise."

A/N: I know it's not much. The real chapter I had typed up is on my Dad's computer, so I decided to just type this one up until I can get to my Dad's house. Well, hope you enjoyed the chapter anyways.
