Ahhhhhhhh! Lawyers! Okay, okay! I don't own Inuyasha! Now go away!
(Cowers in fear in a small corner)
Hello again! As you can see, I finally got around to updating again. I still can't get used to the fact that, since I'm in honors classes, nearly everyone in high school has it easier than I do! Waaaaaaaah! (goes off and burns his trigonometry and algebra textbook)
Ahhhhh, I feel much better. Now, why am I typing again? (Gets the crap beaten out of him for not getting to the story) Ok, ok! Sheesh, have a sense of patience!
And now, without further ado…the second chapter!
Last Time: Inuyasha was tired of waiting for Kagome, so he ran off to go get her. Upon reaching her era, he found Kagome sleeping, the sunlight shining through her window and falling upon her. As he lost himself in his thoughts of her, she actually confessed her love to him, much to his disbelief, upon her awakening, he softly shushed her with a kiss on the cheek, and lulled her back to sleep.
Awaken From A Dream
"Mmm…"Kagome sighed as she slowly opened her eyes. The sight of a mass of silvery hair and a pair of amazingly cute dog ears brought an immediate smile to her face. Inuyasha was fast asleep, breathing softly as one of his arms draped over her protectively. She then suddenly remembered the incident of the early morning. 'Why did Inuyasha kiss me?" Kagome wondered as she lay in bed. 'Was it because he cares about me? No, that can't be. I'm just his 'shard detector.' He could never love me. He loves that clay pot Kikyo. He probably just did it to make me be quiet.'
She sadly blinked away the beginning of new tears. It was all just too frustrating. Every time Kikyo came around, Inuyasha would just run off to see her. Kagome's heart almost broke each time he left to be with that ugly hunk of dirt. (A/N: In case you hadn't noticed, I HATE Kikyo. She is a complete Rank-A Bitch.) It made her heart ache just thinking about it.
'At least if I can't be with Inuyasha and love him like he loves Kikyo, I can spend as much time with him as I can...' she thought as she snuggled closer to Inuyasha's warm body.
Suddenly, she realized exactly what Inuyasha's hand was draped over.
It was on her chest.
"EEEEEEEEEKKK!" Kagome screamed, blushing over ten shades of red. Inuyasha's eyes flew open, and he jumped out of the bed.
"Wha- Huh- Kagome! What's wrong?" He frantically asked.
"SIT, BOY!"
SMASH
"AUUUUGGHHH!"
(A/N: To those of you who think I'm ruining the mood, I apologize. Inu-boy just looks so hilarious when he faceplants the ground.)
Inuyasha lay face down on the floor, resting in a crater he had just made. Lifting his head up, his face was the epitomy of irritation and anger.
"Dammit, wench! Why'd you sit me?" He yelled.
"Because you were groping my chest, you pervert!" Kagome stated, her face still lit up like a Christmas tree. She was still embarrassed, no matter how upset she was.
"Well, I was asleep! You think I can control where I move my arms?" Saying Inuyasha was upset would be an understatement. However, he too was also red in the face.
"Wait a minute, Inuyasha. Are you blushing?" Inuyasha simply grew even redder, hiding her face from her with his haori. "Omigod, you are blushing! Stop the presses! Get a news crew up here! The almighty Inuyasha is blushing!" She screamed, clearly in a state of glee.
"Shut up! It's not that funny!" Inuyasha yelled, unsuccessfully trying to keep his rapidly crumbling tough guy façade up.
"I'm sorry, Inuyasha, it's just that you never blush." Kagome said, calming herself down. "So, how about I make it up to you by making you some home-cooked breakfast?"
Inuyasha was about to object and say he wanted ramen, but he thought better of it and avoided another 'sit'ing. "Sure" he said, shrugging his shoulders. Kagome nodded and started down the stairs, a hungry Inuyasha following close behind. She arrived in the kitchen, and got out some pots and pans. She then began to make some cheese and bacon omlets. They were one of her specialties.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha had taken a seat and, unbeknownst to Kagome, was rapidly sniffing the air in an attempt to get as much of the food's scent in his nose as possible. Ramen was good, but this…THIS was heavenly. His mouth began to water as he anticipated eating the delicious food Kagome was preparing.
3 minutes later…
"Food's Ready!" Kagome called to Inuyasha, expecting him to run in and grab the food from her. However, she was not prepared for the sight of Inuyasha diving at her, grabbing the food, and starting to greedily wolf it down. "Woah! What's wrong? Are you that hungry?"
"So good…" Inuyasha gasped out, before continuing to consume the omlets.
Kagome stared at him in shock. 'He likes my cooking?' She gaped. 'I thought he only liked ramen! Where did this come from?'
While she had been thinking, Inuyasha had finished his mea land was now leaning back in his chair, a look of contentment on his face.
"Ahhhhh…" He sighed, patting his stomach. "That was great!"
Kagome blushed so hard, she thought she would turn into a tomato. "Your cooking is great, Kagome!" He complimented, making her blush even harder, if that was even humanly possible.
"Thanks…" she mumbled as she hid her face. Inuyasha, realizing what was going on, smirked.
"Ooooh, look who's blushing now." He teased, knowing she would react.
"Shut up, Inuyasha!" She said, shoving him so he lost his balance and tumbled to the floor. Unfortunately, (A/N: Or fortunately, if you're the one trying to get Inuyasha and Kagome together. i.e. Me!) she pushed too hard, and she also fell to the floor, right on top of Inuyasha.
They both froze, each staring into the other's eyes. Kagome was still bushing, but now Inuyasha was as well.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome hesitantly asked. "…w-why did you kiss me earlier?" She shivered, almost afraid to hear the answer.
"Um, well, I…" Inuyasha stuttered, trying to think of what to say. "Y-you were crying in your sleep, and I-I-I hate to see you cry, s-so…" He trailed off, not really wanting to tell Kagome the rest. The truth was, he enjoyed kissing Kagome thoroughly, but he didn't want her to know that, lest she sit him.
Unconsciously, they had both been moving closer to one another. The gap between them was closing slowly, and just as there lips were about to touch…
"Well, it looks I'm interrupting something." Mrs. Higurashi was standing in the door frame of the kitchen, a smile playing about her lips. Kagome and Inuyasha suddenly snapped back to reality, scrambling off each other, their faces red.
"No, we weren't doing anything!" Kagome protested. "We slipped, and fell on the floor and…" She trailed off, wondering if she really meant that. Shaking away those thoughts, she turned towards Inuyasha. "Hang on one second, Inuyasha. I'm going to go get dressed, and then we can get going."
"Actually, Kagome…We can stay here for another day…if you'd like." He blushed as he said this, knowing what it must sound like.
Kagome's jaw dropped. Inuyasha was offering to put off jewel shard hunting? Figuring she had to take this opportunity before he changed his mind, she immediately responded.
"Really? Awesome! Thank you so much, Inuyasha! But wait, you don't have any modern clothes! Give me a second to get dressed, and we'll go to the mall to get you some." She bounded up the stairs trying to keep from singing her happiness to the sky.
However, what she didn't know was Inyasha's motive. After seeing her reaction during their little kitchen incident, he realized that he had to take a chance if he ever wanted to win her heart. His plan was to be as nice to her as possible, and then, when the moment was right, take her somewhere beautiful and confess his love for her. 'I will finally tell her how I truly feel…' He thought.
Kagome came back down the stairs, and the se of her was enough to send Inuyasha reeling. She was wearing a baby blue spaghetti strap top, with a matching skirt to go with it. She had washed and shampooed her hair till it shined, and was wearing a cute pair of sandals. Inuyasha had never seen her in street clothes before, and was now utterly awed as he did. "Damn, she looks hot! Ahhh! What am I thinking?" Kagome noticed Inuyasha staring at her.
"See something you like, 'Yasha? She teased, making him turn red.
"Errr, no, I mean, I…" Inuyasha stammered. Kagome giggled at his reaction. She then turned towards her mom.
"Hey mom, we need to get-" she started.
"Don't worry dear, I know. Here's my credit card." Mrs. Higurashi said, handing her the little piece of plastic that meant so much.
"Woohoo! Thanks mom! C'mon, Inuyasha let's go!" Kagome said, grabbing Inuyasha wrist and dragging him out the door towards the mall.
Hee hee hee, the plot thickens. Namely in the fact that I'm forcing poor 'Yashie to go to the mall. Don't worry, he'll live…maybe. I don't know, going to the mall with a girl with a credit card that isn't hers can be a very frightening experience. Anyway, please give me some more feedback! Bye for now!
