Overtime
Chapter17
The next day Miroku was over at Inuyasha's place. They were supposed to be heading over to Kouga's place to watch the game but Miroku just refused to get off of Inuyasha's case about the previous night.
"Just apologize to her Inuyasha." Miroku nagged for the millionth time.
"For what? I never did anything!"
"You kissed her arch-rival, and plus..." He shrugged. "women love it when you apologize for nothing."
"No! Just let me leave!" Inuyasha made a grab for the doorknob again but was stopped my a firm
hand shooting in front of his path to violently hit the wall. "Miroku..." Inuyasha whined.
"Say. Sorry." Miroku demanded sounding like an angry mother chastising her child.
"But-I told you there's nothing to apologize for!"
"To her there is!"
"Well, she's always been 'different' like that!"
"Exactly why you should apologize!"
"..."
"..."
Miroku removed his hand from the wall to stroke his chin wisely. "Understand?"
"I guess..." Inuyasha muttered, trudging out the door Miroku held open for him. He was grinning smugly even though his previous comment made no sense at all!
A tired knock could be heard on Kagome's door. She paused – in the middle of washing dishes.
"Coming!" She called sweetly from the kitchen.
"She's not answering." Inuyasha said impatiently to Miroku.
"Then knock again."
'Knock, Knock,Knock.'
"I said I'm coming!" Kagome yelled to the door, getting annoyed. She dried her hands on a tea towel.
"Here let me do it." Miroku said pushing in front of Inuyasha.
"No! I already-" Inuyasha tried to warn him that he had knocked before.
'Knock,Knock,Knock!'
"I'm coming damnit!" Kagome yelled , swinging open the door. Inuyasha had his hand poised above it to stop Miroku but it looked like he was going to knock again. He slowly brought it back to his side.
"Hi Inuyasha!" Kagome smiled at him.
Inuyasha was completely taken back and Miroku slowly backed away so he wasn't beaten for his mistake.
"Why are you so happy?"Inuyasha asked suspiciously.
"Am I not supposed to be happy? Why wouldn't I be?"
"I don't know, maybe because...uh...last night..."
She knew exactly what he was talking about but didn't care to much about it anymore. Any bits of frustration or anger she held towards him had vanished when he showed up at her door.
"Sorry I made you mad or anything...It's not like...I-"
"Are you talking about Kikyo?" She pretended to sound surprised.
Inuyasha went uncomfortably red in the face. "What else would I be talking about?"
"Then it's fine! Thanks for apologizing."
"oh...ok. But I didn't really..."
"And don;t say you didn't apologize. You can't take it back. You deliberately said 'Sorry'." Kagome smiled at him. "I'll see you tomorrow." She tried o close the door but then heard Inuyasha say something about Miroku.
"What about him?" Kagome opened the door again.
Inuyasha looked behind him. No one was there.
"But..."
Kagome stared at him like he was on crack or something.
"It's fine,never mind. See you tomorrow!" He waved back at her. Miroku would suffer.
"Bye!" She shut the door.
'Unnecessary visit, yet...so sweet.'
