Day 7 – The Day Out
Choosing to sleep in, Inuyasha rolled over lazily in his bed. With the covers half off the bed and the other half across his body. He looked quite like a little kid the way he snored as his chest heaved when he breathed in then flattened as he breathed out, nice, slow even breaths.
But you had to admit, it WAS cute! Or, well, that's what Kagome thought when she'd opened the door to wake him up for breakfast. Instead, she leaned against the doorframe and smiled. He may be a jerk, but everyone has to give in sometime. A few more minutes… she told herself and walked back to the kitchen.
Kagome had prepared an entire feast with the way she cooked! From eggs to bacon and all the way back to pancakes and waffles! Everything. Man, when she needed to, this girl could COOK!
A few minutes passed and just as Kagome was going to go and wake up Inuyasha, he walked out. Though he only wore shorts, Kagome managed to stifle the blush to a moderate reddened face. "Good morning!" The cook said cheerfully and set the last of the breakfast on the small, cramped table when she returned with Inuyasha following sluggishly behind.
The hanyou looked around a big confused. "What's all this for?" He asked sitting down.
"Oh, nothing. I just woke up and felt like making breakfast!" Kagome said as she put some dishes and pans into the sink. "Well, dig in before it gets cold."
Inuyasha just eyed Kagome suspiciously. "So…lemme get this straight. You got up and made all this just…because?" She smiled and sat down next to him. "Oooookkkk….."
The girl dug in and began eating heartily. Seeing as she hadn't kneeled over from poison, the boy dug in. "Hey…this ain't bad!" He said with wide eyes and a mouthful of food.
"I never said it was going to be." Kagome added.
"Good morning!" Said a voice from the front room.
"What's Sango doing here? Isn't she not supposed to be here?" Inuyasha asked standing up to greet his guest.
"Um…Inuyasha…" Kagome said as she cut in front of him.
"What?" He asked seeing Sango quickly closing the door.
"Clothes…" She whispered and pushed him hard towards his room
"Hey!" He shouted as Kagome shut the door and soon reappeared in the kitchen, greeting Sango. "Hi Sango!"
The girl just glanced around at all the food, the pots and the pans that laid around the kitchen. "…Hi…What's with all this stuff?"
"Oh, I made breakfast." Kagome said picking some pots and pans up then placing them into the sink. "What brings you around these parts?" She asked wiping her hands on a dish rag.
Sango blushed a bit. "You mean… Miroku isn't here yet?"
"No. Haven't seen him. Why? You two going somewhere?" Kagome asked.
"Well…kinda…" Sango said sitting down at the table. Her cell phone rang from somewhere in her purse. "'Scuse me…" She said, walking back to the front room.
Inuyasha chose that time to come back to the real world dressed and ready for action! "Where's Sango?"
"She got a phone call," Kagome said cleaning the last of the dishes off. "Well…"
"…Well what?" The hanyou asked sitting back down at the table.
"What are you planning to do on the day off?"
"Shopping."
"EXCUSE ME?!" Kagome asked looking flabbergasted that Inuyasha would say such a thing. "Did you just say shopping?!"
"That would be Sango." He said pointing to the girl entering the room. "Wait…SHOPPING?! NOOOO!"
"That's right. Slight change of plans… Have fun you two!" She said walking out. "Bye for now!"
Kagome got the evil smirk. "Well… you heard her! Let's get ready for some heavy duty shopping time!"
Inuyasha groaned, "Me and my big mouth…
#flashback#
"Live with it. At least it's not shopping or some girlie thing like that…"
#end#
"Why me…fate just HAD to have me with that stupid thing I never even signed up for…now they're making me pay by going SHOPPING?! Could this nightmare get any worse?! … Hm?" Inuyasha turned his head to see Kagome walk out of her room with a pair of hip-hugger capris and a plain light blue T on. "Where are you going looking so nice?"
"Well, a girl can't go shopping if she looks like a slob!" Kagome said grabbing her small purse off the counter, walking out of the kitchen. "You coming or not?"
"I, uh, suppose." Inuyasha followed the girl out the door to see the vehicle they'd take on their morning/afternoon out – a '61 red Ferrari! "You've GOT TO BE KIDDING!"
Kagome, being nice, took the passenger side. "Well, let's get going!"
"You bet!" Inuyasha was quickly in the driver seat and off like lightening. "So, where are we going first?"
"Uh, take a right up here… then go straight 3 blocks… and a left…"
---
After driving around for what seemed like hours, the two ended up in the mall not more than 6 blocks from their house…0.o
"About damn time too!" Inuyasha shouted slamming the door and leaning against the car with his arms folded across his chest.
"Hey, wasn't the car worth it though?" Kagome said walking around and pulling his arm. "Now let's go! Time's a tickin!"
"Slow down! It's not like there's someone stalking us!"
"Wait for me!"
"Shippo? What are you doing here?" Kagome asked as the small kid jumped into her arms.
"Mom and dad say you two gotta baby-sit me." The hanyou's eyes went wide. "And as a baby-sitter, you can't hurt me, or else you don't get paid."
"No! Nuh uh! You are NOT staying with us!" Inuyasha said picking Shippo up by the tail.
"Inuyasha! I swear you need a collar or something…" Kagome said taking Shippo back. "Just let him stay. What harm can he do?"
--
" 'What harm can he do?' you say!" Inuyasha said in a girly mocking tone. "I told you that brat was trouble."
"He…he spent all my money!!!" Kagome said looking at the kid who walked a few paces ahead eating an ice cream cone. "I can't believe it…I didn't even get ANYTHING!" Inuyasha nudged her. "Hey!"
"That's what you get for taking a seemingly innocent kid on a shopping trip in a toy store. He took my money too! Thank you very much miss, 'Oh, just let him stay!'" The hanyou said sarcastically again. "And I get stuck carrying the bags!" Inuyasha now held about 6 different store bags filled with little kid goodies.
"Ugh… could this day get any worse!"
"DON'T SAY THAT! IT WILL NOW WENCH! Damn you're stupid!"
"You shouldn't say stuff like that in front of Shippo! You'll teach him bad manners!" Kagome said playfully slugging the hanyou walking beside her.
"You think I really give a damn?" Inuyasha said mocking her. "I dare you to stop me!"
"UGH! SHUT UP AND SIT!"
Ironically, Inuyasha tripped over a chair and fell over. "…What the hell was that all about?" He asked standing up.
"I don't know what came over me… it was like… I don't know…" Kagome pinkened slightly. "Let's just get back to our job."
"And that would be?"
"…Baby-sitting?" Kagome said matter-of-factly. "Oi, so much for shopping I suppose…"
"Who said that? We'll just have to get some more money, that's all." The hanyou walked on in front of Kagome to catch the kid they're supposed to be watching.
Did he just…? Naw… "Hey, wait up!"
"Kagome! Hi!"
The girl spun around to see Sango and Miroku running their way. "Hey guys. What are you doing here?" Kagome asked. She began walking as not to lose Inuyasha and Shippo up ahead.
"Oh, just hanging out." Miroku said. "Where's Inuyasha at? He didn't just ditch you did he?"
"No, he's up ahead with Shippo." Kagome explained.
"INUYASHA!"
"STUPID KID!" –bam!-
"KAGOME!" Shippo was quickly running back her way and in her arms. "Inuyasha's being mean again!"
"He is, is he?" The girl said with a sly look on her face. "Well, we'll have to change that, won't we?" With only the entire mall watching, she walked up to the hanyou who was also stomping her way and stopped him. "Inuyasha…" she said softly with a glint of mischievousness in her eye.
"Yea, what?" He asked roughly.
Kagome slipped her hands around his waist and pulled him close, making him blush. "Please stop hurting Shippo, he doesn't like it when you do that." She let a finger tap his nose and leaned in, awkwardly close. "Please?"
"Uh…" The hanyou was speechless. This girl who was just yelling at her was now smothering him with strange and out of character actions. What else was he supposed to do?! Then the unthinkable happened --- she kissed him. Not just a friendly peck on the cheek, but a full mouth to mouth kiss that shocked the hell out of everyone watching – mainly Miroku and Sango. Inuyasha jerked away fiercely. "WHAT? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!"
Kagome blushed. "I only wanted you to stop… was a kiss so bad?"
"A little extreme if you ask me! What are you crazy?!" The hanyou yelled, still oblivious to the staring crowd.
Kagome walked towards the confused Shippo watching from a distance, "Let's go, Shippo." She said keeping her back to the people watching her from behind.
"What was that all about?" Sango asked Miroku after Inuyasha shook his head and walked off after the two.
"Beats me.
---
"What's wrong, Kagome?" Shippo asked as Kagome sat on a bench in the middle of an isle crying silently.
"It's nothing." Kagome said letting a tear slide down her face and land with a small plink on her leg. "We should find Inuyasha and go."
"What about me?"
"Oh, hi Inuyasha. Kagome's mad and I don't know why." Shippo said as the hanyou sat down next to Kagome and put his arm around her shoulder, only to have it shrugged away.
"She… is?" Inuyasha asked trying to comfort her as much as he can without doing anything. Seeing as every time he tries something, it goes wrong.
"Just leave me alone! I wanna go home…" Kagome mumbled.
"Only if you quite your blabbering!" Inuyasha said standing up and starting to slowly walk away.
"I'm not blabbering!" She said running in front of Inuyasha and stopping him.
"Ok then, crying!"
"I AM NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
"NOT!"
"ARE!"
"SHUT UP AND SIT!"
"…"
"Hey, it worked last time." Kagome said hopefully. Inuyasha sighed and slung the jacket he'd managed to buy over his shoulder. "Dough-head!"
"You're the dough-head!"
Kagome mumbled incoherent profanities and grabbed the bags, letting Shippo walk completely carefree in front of her. Stupid Inuyasha. He always ruins EVERYTHING!
Meanwhile, in the Ferrari, Stupid girl. And annoying. Won't she ever learn? Kagome had somehow managed to slip into the vehicle without his knowledge and was sitting there cross-armed and pouty faced. "What's your problem?"
"You."
"Me? What did I do?"
The girl twirled in her seat to face Inuyasha. "Didn't you see them? If… "it" hadn't happened, then we'd have been split up!" She yelled.
"Them? Who's "them"?" The boy asked leaning closer. Wait… did she just say…WE?
Kagome sighed and slouched back down in the seat. "Never mind. And don't even THINK about talking to me on the way home. I don't want to hear any of it!"
Inuyasha was still confused over what she had said. …we'd have been split up! She sounded as if she didn't want to. But, the way she acted, Kagome wanted to leave. So… why argue over not going? Did she really want to stay with him that much??? "Whatever…" Inuyasha started the vehicle and made his way to the main street. However, instead of heading to his house, he went the opposite direction, and into the parking lot of an ice cream parlor!
"Wha… Why?" Kagome asked looking from Inuyasha to the building.
"Keh, I don't know. I thought the squirt would like it, seeing as we're the ones who got stuck baby-sitting him." Inuyasha said getting out. "Well, you comin'?"
Shippo looked to Kagome, who was looking at him, and both smiled. "Yup. We're coming." Kagome said getting out with the small boy right behind her.
--
"I'll have a strawberry shake."
"I want a chocolate cone, Kagome!"
The girl smiled and lifted Shippo up to the counter, "Tell them yourself! You're old enough!" She said happily.
"Um… can I have a chocolate cone, please?" The boy asked nicely. The older woman behind the counter smiled and said, "Of course!"
"What about you, Inuyasha? Don't you want something?" Kagome asked putting Shippo down and looking over at him.
"Naw. I'm fine." He said pulling out a wallet from his pocket.
"I thought you said you didn't have any money left!" Kagome asked. Inuyasha just smirked back. "Selfish jerk…" She looked down to see the boy shifting impatiently from one foot to the other. "Why don't you go pick out someplace to sit Shippo!"
"Okay!" The little boy leapt off and quickly found a booth near the back.
Kagome carried her and Shippo's ice cream and walked to where the boy sat. "There's yours!" She said handing him the cone. Kagome sat down on the seat across from the small boy and took a sip of the shake. Inuyasha came and sat down next to Shippo, conveniently across from Kagome. "I see you gave in." She said seeing the small vanilla cone he held in his hand.
"I figured, what the heck, everybody else was." So they sat there for several minutes enjoying their shake and cones in silence. Finally, Inuyasha broke the silence. "Well, looks like everyone's just about done, wadda ya say we go home and chill the rest of the afternoon?"
"When are your parents coming back, Shippo?" Kagome asked, ignoring the angry look Inuyasha gave her after partially interrupting him.
"Oh, there still at home. I just wanted to come along with you guys!"
-…major sigh and sweat drop insert!-
"I vote going home too!" Kagome agreed, setting her shake down. Unbeknownst to her, there was a small bit of the ice cream drink on her nose.
"Ahem…" Inuyasha said motioning towards the nose. Kagome didn't get it. She sniffed, "I don't smell anything…"
"AHEM…" He said holding up a napkin.
"What? Something on my face?" She asked taking a napkin to her mouth and cheeks, but not the nose.
"Ugh… come here." Inuyasha said pulling her over and wiping the excess ice cream from her face. "See?"
"Well, why didn't you say so!" Kagome said sitting back in her seat. "I'm ready to go home!"
"You've gotten a lot more bubbly than before. What's with the change of tune?" Inuyasha asked getting up and walking in front of Kagome.
"Oh nothing!" She said in an eerie tone of voice.
Shippo walked a few paces behind. They'll be thankful for what I did for them one day.
--
When you can't think of something to do, what DO you do? I mean, you've been sitting around, staring at someone, then you suddenly start laughing and think of something to do. Like play Catch Phrase. Even though you've been playing it most of the afternoon, it's still a game. But where do those sudden ideas come from? I'd like to know. So would our two "love-birds".
Kagome looks down at the small gadget with the word "pheasant" on it. Um… what to say??? "Uh, big bird! Will break your headlights if you hit it! Uh…"
Inuyasha just stared at the girl. Her mouth was moving, but he didn't hear anything, seeing as he had only heard the first clue, big bird. What?! Big bird is from Sesame Street…what the hell…?! Why is Big bird in this game?! The buzzer brought him back to his senses.
Shippo yelled out the word before time ran out. "Did I get it?"
"Yea, you did, Shippo. Well, you didn't say anything the whole time, Inuyasha! What is your little black hole brain thinking?" Kagome asked handing Inuyasha the machine.
"What does Big Bird have to do with pheasant? He's from Sesame Street."
Both Kagome and Shippo look at each other and burst out laughing. "YOU THOUGHT IT WAS THAT BIG BIRD?!?!?! Aahahahahahaha!!!"
"What? What'd I do?" Inuyasha asked innocently.
"Big bird! As in, BIG DESTRUCTION! Not Big Bird like from the kid's show! You're brain is messed up!" Kagome said falling into the hanyou's lap laughing. "You have serious problems…" She suggested folding her arms and looking up at him.
"You've been acting weird all day. What's up with that?!" Inuyasha asked. The girl just smiled and rolled onto the floor.
"Nothing!" She said innocently. Kagome stood up and began walking to her room. "Well, it's getting late. Shippo, you might wanna head home buddy!"
"Okay. Thanks you guys! You're the best!" He said as he disappeared out the front door.
That left the hanyou sitting alone on the couch. Well… now what? He asked himself. It's early for bed… what… to… do…
"Oh by the way, I was talking with Sango earlier, we're going on a cruise for the next week, you might want pack tonight!" Kagome called from her room.
! "...WHAT?!"
.:---:.
A/N: yea, we'll leave it there! So, yup, a cruise for the next week! –wink!- oh, what to do… got suggestions? I've never been on one, but from movies and what people tell me, I think I've got some possibilities… but if you know some … "romantic" events they could do… lemme know!!!
