Hi ya! I'm back!


Day 4 – The Storm


Ahh... relaxation! Only 4 days and things seemed like forever for our lovely two stars! Let's see what crazy things they can get in these next few days...

We begin our day with much sunshine and happiness. The birds sang and chirped. The wind was just right. The day was actually perfect!

Now, a nosy, pesky neighbor kid just happened to go by on this perfect morning, to find his buddy asleep. This'll get'm good! The child sniggered. He held in his hand a small metal pipe.

The kid crept sneakily around to where his hanyou friend lay totally oblivious to his surroundings. Asleep without a care in the world! Almost like a baby...

A sly smirk crept on to the kid's face as he brought the small pipe in contact with his lips and blew – hard.

Nothing seemed to happen.

Except if you count the screaming half demon inside who had his hands over his ears. "Heh heh, gotcha!"

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Dammit, Shippo! You'll really regret this!" Inuyasha screamed loudly enough to be heard outside. The boy turned to the window to see the kitsune apparently named Shippo to quickly disappear from the window.

"Inuyasha? What's the matter? Why are you screaming so loudly?" A groggy girl asked rubbing her sleep-filled eyes. She stared awkwardly at the half-naked teenaged boy who stood in his room. Was it just me... or did that sound bad...? Kagome's cheeks started looking a little rosy... it wasn't that hot was it?

"That little twerp will pay! Ow..." Inuyasha sat on his bedside and massaged his temples. "Aspirin... something..."

"What happened?" Kagome asked as she sat down next to the ( ahem sexy cough ) half awake hanyou. She certainly didn't hear anything suspicious.

"Ooo... That pest got a dog whistle last week and hasn't left me alone yet..." Inuyasha threw himself back onto the bed and sighed. "He's gunna die."

"The kid can't be all that bad." The girl suggested lying down on her side facing Inuyasha.

"Well... I suppose not." Inuyasha said flatly. "HE'S THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE! HE'S A BRAT! SPOILED! SPOILED ROTTEN MAY I ADD!" He added with poisonous venom oozing from each word.

"That's no way to talk about a small kid! I'm sure you were rambunctious when you were little."

"Psht! Not like that!" Inuyasha sat up and quickly pulled on a shirt from, ironically, the day before. "I'm getting breakfast. You comin?"

Kagome sat up quickly. "Yea. I suppose."

"Oh no you don't!" A voice echoed from the front hall.

"Oh, man!" Inuyasha sat down at the kitchen table – shortly joined by Sango and Kagome. "What do you want now?"

Sango glared at the hanyou. "Alright. Just wanted to let you know that you are free to do whatever you want today." The advisor looked between the two. "Capiche?"

"Capiche..." They replied in unison.

"Well. I'll be on my way then-" Miroku then walked up beside her and looked oddly innocent.

"Hello! And good morning!" smack! A look of enlightenment came over the young man's face. "It was worth the pain..."

"If you'll EXCUSE ME!" Sango huffed out blushing. "I'll see you in the morning then!" door slams in background

Miroku broke the eerie silence. "That went well."

Inuyasha and Kagome managed to "somehow" loose Miroku around the Victoria's Secret part of the mall and the tanning booth...? Amazingly, no one was injured in the process.

Anyway, the contest wine sat stuffing his face with a dish only identifiable for a minute cup of, ramen. Kagome had an irritated look as she glanced at the people staring. "Maybe we should go..."

slurp "Not yet... gulp almost done with food..."

Kagome groaned and slid down in her chair.

Eventually the morning was spent chasing Miroku out of the mall and the afternoon, well let's just say de javu downtown. SO now we come to about six-ish. The sun is just beyond the horizon and dark storm clouds litter the sky.

Inuyasha sat (heh heh, dog style...0o;;;) on the porch off the west side of the house watching the sun set. There's something so...

"Beautiful..."

Inuyasha snapped his head to see Kagome leaning on the railing next to which he sat. "Uh, yea."

"Too bad it'll rain soon, though." Kagome sighed and sat on the railing with her feet dangling over the edge.

Darkness eventually overtook the light, leaving the two sitting outside alone. The silence, however, wasn't eerie. In fact it was comforting, just knowing that the other was right there. A small drop of water sprinkled on Kagome's nose.

"Well, looks like we'll be heading in then." She said wiping it off and swinging her legs around to jump onto the porch.

"Uh huh." Inuyasha sighed and almost robotically followed Kagome. Lightening began to flash every so often once the two were inside.

Rain poured as lightening flashed and thunder crashed. But it was a brilliant sight to watch, nonetheless.

Kagome sat on the couch curled up under a blanket watching the lightening. Amazing. It had always fascinated her. Storms were magnificent. They held so much power... so deadly, yet so harmless and beautiful.

A sudden, louder clap of thunder startled the girl out of her thoughts. She saw Inuyasha come walking in with 2 mugs of something steaming, tea. He set one down on the small counter-top besides the girl and walked to the other end of the couch to face and watch the storm as well. "Beautiful..."

"Uh, yea." Kagome realized she had said the same thing earlier. A short silence followed. The girl's thoughts, however, were suddenly words: "I think I should say I'm sorry."

Inuyasha looked confusedly at the girl, "Why?" Something must've clicked, because he suddenly had a smug look on his face. "I certainly don't have anything to apologize for."

Obviously HE won't be handing out apologies first... "You should be. But I'll say it anyway."

"Fine. Doesn't do anything for me."

Kagome was frustrated. She turned quickly to say something when she landed right in Inuyasha's face as he was getting up.

"What do you think you're doing!" Inuyasha yelled pushing her face away (and if the lights hadn't decided to – conveniently- go out, she would have seen a blush creep onto his face). "Great... I'll get some flashlights and candles." He said leaving slowly, as not to step on anything or run into anything.

That left Kagome on the couch. That idiot's got enough pride to choke a horse! He'd cut off his nose despite his face!

THUD-CRASH "...ow..."

"You okay?" Kagome asked as she got up and walked slowly to where she'd thought he'd previously been.

A flashlight was on, but apparently Inuyasha had miscalculated the corner... and ironically enough, he held his nose...? "Yea..."

"GOOD! smack That is for being a jerk!"

Inuyasha currently was sprawled on the ground swirly-eyed "Eeee..."

Kagome stormed off to her room with a flashlight in her hand.

"Now see here-!" The hanyou had gotten up and regained his composure, currently standing in front of the girl's door when,

CRASH!

The door flew open and 2 bodies collided.

Kagome stared down at Inuyasha from the ground. "I was scared."

"Ack! Get off me!" The hanyou tossed the girl across the hall with a blush quickly accelerating on both of their faces.

"Sorry. I like the lightening, but not the thunder." Kagome leaned up against the wall with her hands around her feet. "Sorry 'bout that."

"Forget it. If YOU think that's loud, try bein' me when the thunder hits..." Inuyasha joked.

A series of claps of thunder were heard as bright flashes of lightening filled the house. Surprisingly, Kagome sat right next to the hanyou with his arm in her grasp. "Ugh, I'll never get any sleep with you this jumpy. Grab a blanket, you'll be sleeping on my floor."

Kagome released her grip and smiled. "Thanks Inuyasha."
