Fancy
Inuyasha was an obnoxious boy, one a bit on the too active side, even if he pretty often lazed around, usually on tree branches or her bed. And even then a part of him was still moving, would it be an ear or a twitching foot.
Kagome glanced back over her shoulder. Inuyasha was sitting - of course - on her bed, his attention on a photo album. She quickly looked back at her homework, before he could see her attention was on him. He was a demanding puppy, one wanting a lot of attention - at least she saw it that way. She had to find out a way to sneak out of the room and prepare the thing. They stayed in the future to do the thing, but she was pretending to study, so he wouldn't get suspicious. But how to sneak out of the room and - more importantly - from under the watchdog's vigilant care?
It wasn't something she pondered often. Despite his shortcomings she actually liked to spend time around him. And he obviously liked her company too, even if he shouted that he didn't.
Still... She couldn't let her family do the thing without her help.
An idea came to her mind. One wicked, but highly effective one. Without dwelling on it for too long Kagome reached to her desk drawer and pulled out of it one of a couple bottles stored there. It had sunshine yellow color. Hiding it close to herself Kagome unscrewed the vial and put in on the desk as casually as she could.
She heard a sniff. And another. And then she heard a thud.
When she looked back Inuyasha was sprawled across the bed, his face buried in the photo album, unconscious.
"Say, Inuyasha," she almost sang. "Wanna eat some ramen?"
No reply. Not even a twitch of an ear.
"Yes!" she jumped off of her chair and almost ran towards the door, when something caught her attention. One of Inuyasha's hands was hanging off of the bed, fingers relaxed. She glanced back at the yellow bottle on the desk.
A twinkle glittered in her eye as she slowly stepped back to the desk and picked up the bottle.
"Well..." she said as she sat on the floor next to her bed. "Let's have some fun, shall we?"
A couple of minutes later, a kitsune smile on her lips, Kagome twisted the cork on the bottle closed and slid her window open just a little, so the room would air in a short - but not too short - time. Then she left the passed out hanyou in peace, hoping the nail polish on his pretty long claws could dry and harden before Inuyasha woke up.
When she entered the kitchen she found everyone gathered there. Souta looked at her grin and paled.
"What did you do to Big Dog Brother?" he inquired in a tone suggesting he feared the answer.
"Go and have a look," she supplied with a chuckle. The boy hesitated for a while, before he cautiously made his way to her room. A moment later he was back, trying to silence his giggled by a hand over his mouth.
"Mom, can I have the camera, please?"
"It's charging in the living room," the middle-aged woman said and watched the boy run away. Then she looked at her smug daughter. "Kagome?"
"Do you remember the fancy yellow mail polish Eri gave me for birthday? The one that never went along with any of my outfits?" Kagome grinned like a mad girl when her mom gave a nod. "Let's say it looks very pretty with red kimono. I'm sure it will compliment his amber eyes pretty nicely."
