.~*~*~
Inuyasha burst into Kagome's room colliding into Kagome. He placed his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him as he looked around the room. He sighed when he didn't see anything unusual and relaxed not letting go of her. He looked down at the girl in his arms and realized Kagome wasn't scared, she was extremely angry. Inuyasha let go of her taking a step back, slightly afraid of the angry girl.
"What the hell did you scream for, wench?" Inuyasha then regretted his words, or even going into Kagome's room. The second the words had left his mouth, she had grabbed onto the locks of hair that fell over in front of his shoulder and yanked it down to her eye level. Izayoi and a tall, silver haired man, whom was carrying her, had shown up and Kikyo and Souta shortly after them witnessing the wrath of the girl.
"What do you mean why'd I scream? Doesn't this nose here work?" Kagome jabbed his nose with her finger before continuing on her rampage. "Someone was in my room and put this in here!" She then shoved the white bear with flowers into his face and let it fall to the ground. Inuyasha had flower petals in his hair from them breaking off from the collision. "How am I to feel safe here when a demon, who is supposed to be able to smell like a dog, can't even keep out intruders in their own house? I left this damn thing at my house, so tell me how'd they know I came here and was in this room?" She yelled the whole time throwing her hands around to annunciate her point. Inuyasha had to dodge her hands to avoid getting hit and her yelling had made Inuyasha's ears fold against his head.
"Stop yelling. Nobody that isn't here right now was in this room tonight."Inu no Taisho firmly stated, making Kagome's mind real at the possibilities. Suddenly her eyes widened and turned to her sister glaring, anger radiating off her, and Kikyo was returning the look for a completely different reason. "Inuyasha, may I have a word?"
"Whatever old man." Inuyasha waved his hand over his shoulder at his father as he walked out of the room, shutting the door leaving Kagome, Kikyo and Souta alone in the room to talk things out.
"Inuyasha, you can't go around sneaking into this girl's room. We understand you're confused, but don't make a bad name of this family." Izayoi looked at her husband putting the pieces together as he talked. Her eyes widened when the pieces came together and hit her.
"I knew you liked her Inuyasha, but did you have to be a creep?" Izayoi laughed lightly making Inuyasha scowl at her. He turned and started walking to his room, which was right next to Kagome's. He stopped right inside his door and stood there for a moment.
"I don't have to hear this. I'll stop if that will make you happy; I just wanted her to know. Night." Inuyasha quietly said, never turning to look at his parents. Closing his bedroom door he heard Kagome and Kikyo arguing but didn't think anything of it. Instead he blocked it out and got lost in his own thoughts.
.~*~*~*~
"How dare you! You knew that this bear creeped me out and you brought it with you?" Kagome was now face to face with Kikyo, who was holding her ground against Kagome. Poor Souta was hiding in the corner of the room, not being able to make an escape because the two girls were blocking the only exit door.
"Kagome it wasn't me." Kikyo pushed Kagome back pointing a finger angrily at her when she continued. "It's you; you're the one who is stealing my Inuyasha!" Kagome's jaw almost hit the floor when her sister accused her.
"Excuse me! I don't want your Inuyasha! What'd you do plant it so that way I'd think it was your boyfriend so you can make me out to be the bad guy? Oh pah-lease! Kikyo you're so pathetic!" Kagome stormed to the other side of the room, grabbing a book of the shelf, and taking out the small paper that was being used as a bookmark. "Now this all makes sense! You wrote this stupid poemy note, in an attempt that I'd be all, 'Oh Inuyasha, I didn't know you felt that way," Kagome clasped her hands together and put them up towards her chest, batting her eyes, "kissy, kissy, kissy, I'm so glad you think of me every day! Lets ditch Kikyo and run into the sunset together.'" She dropped her hands; her face was once again scowling. "Yeah well that is gross and won't ever happen." Kagome pretended to gag herself. Kikyo was just watching her, glaring at her for lying. Kagome's face softened before she continued. "Sorry but do you not trust Inuyasha that much? You've been with him how long? If you ask me he is as loyal as a dog." Kagome threw the note at Kikyo's feet and crossed her arms. Her anger was returning due to Kikyo's stupidity.
"You bitch! He was writing you notes too? Obviously I can't trust him. He came out of your room the night before you killed dad!" Kagome looked at her sister; hurt washing over her from the reopened wound. Kikyo didn't seem to notice what she had just said and continued. "You probably slept with him you whore!" Kikyo grabbed Kagome's hair and yanked it hard trying to pull Kagome to the floor.
"Ow. Stop you crazy bitch! Get off me!" Kagome pushed her sister hard, forcing her up against the door and arms length away from her. "Trust me that night that dumb ass and I didn't do anything! I was so pissed off at him for kissing me even though he was dating you. If he would have come into my room then I would have killed him personally!" Kagome retracted her hands from Kikyo's chest and covered her mouth. "Oops. You weren't supposed to hear about that." Kikyo leaped off the door, grabbed the front of Kagome's tank top, and pulled the girl up to her face.
"You're going to pay, bitch." Kikyo spat at Kagome as the door was flew open and Inu no Taisho yanked Kikyo out of the room and Izayoi ran to Kagome's side wrapping her arms around her.
"Go to bed, Souta-dear." Izayoi smiled at the boy huddled in the corner. Once he realized that everything had stopped he ran out of the room and into his own room. He didn't like seeing his sisters fight, he didn't like seeing anyone fight. "Kagome are you alright?" Kagome only nodded, shrugging the woman off and walked over to the bed and crawled in facing towards the wall.
"It's nothing new. I'm used to it. Goodnight Izayoi." Kagome raised her hand and slightly waved at the woman behind her. Izayoi stood there and looked at the girl lying in the bed for a few moments before sighing, leaving the room, and shutting the door behind her. Inu no Taisho had returned to her side out of nowhere and put his arm around his wife.
"That poor girl, I feel so bad for her, with everything she's gone through." Izayoi leaned into her husband who kissed her on the head.
"I know Izzy. Let's just go back to bed. We'll deal with this tomorrow." Inu no Taisho lead his wife to their room, which was up another flight of stairs. They both needed to get some rest.
. ~*~*~
Inuyasha's ear twitch and he looked at the door. It was quiet, the fighting had stopped. He sniffed the air quickly noting that everyone was in their own rooms. Inuyasha put his arms behind his head looking at the ceiling getting lost in his thoughts again. He didn't understand why Kagome freaked out over the bear. Wasn't it cute and meaningful? He didn't mean to creep her out he just wanted her to know he was always thinking about her, every day and every night. Inuyasha hadn't meant to scare her. He had just left her room when he heard her scream and thought something, or someone, had attacked her. He rubbed the side of his head where she pulled his hair. She was strong, he had to give her that but he still felt like he had to protect her. His ears twitched at the sound of someone walking past his room. Inuyasha had demanded Kagome's room be next to his because he felt that he needed to protect her, and her being next door was going to make it easier. He heard Kagome's room open and he peaked out of his door, when he didn't see anyone he slowly crept over to Kagome's room. Her door was slightly ajar. He could still see her bed and someone was standing over her. Then he saw the something glint, in the light from the moon outside, in the person's hands and charged into the room tackling them to the ground. The thud had made Kagome stir in the bed.
"What the hell are you doing, Kikyo?" Inuyasha quietly yelled causing Kagome to jolt up in her bed surprised. She looked to the floor and saw Inuyasha holding Kikyo's arms above her and his body was lying on top of hers.
"Are you serious? This is your way of making me pay by doing your boyfriend next to my bed? You two are really sick." Inuyasha looked up at Kagome, who noticed the knife in Kikyo's hand that was being held above her head plastered against the ground. "Is that a knife?" Kagome blinked a couple times and leaned off the side of the bed to get a better look. "Holy shit!" Kagome flung herself back on her bed against the wall covering herself up with her pillow. "Kikyo what were you going to do with that?" She pointed Kikyo's hand peaking at her sister over the pillow. Kikyo only glared at her which made Kagome feel a little uneasy.
"Are you serious? She was trying to kill you." Inuyasha took the knife from Kikyo and twisted one of her arms behind her back so she couldn't run away. Kagome then decided that it was just another act they were putting on. She did not think Kikyo would try to kill her; harm her, hurt her, or possibly scare her yes, but not kill.
"Okay Kikyo is crazy but not that crazy. Let me guess she gave part of the crazy germs to you. Hah that's what you get for being her girlfriend and trying to do gross things next to me." Kagome got out of the bed and opened her door up the rest of the way. "Now if you'd two be so kind as to… Get out!" Again all the yelling and talking had made a crowd of house members appear at the door. It seemed like nobody was getting much sleep that night.
"What is going on now?" Izayoi asked groggy from her lack of sleep. She looked in the room and saw Inuyasha holding a knife, Kikyo being held back by him, and Kagome standing at the door rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"They were trying to do dirty things next to my bed." Kagome pointed at Inuyasha and Kikyo. Inuyasha and his dad almost fell to the floor. Inuyasha couldn't believe she had said that, or even still believed that's what they were doing. Inu no Taisho could tell what was going on just by the scene in front of him, and couldn't believe the girl was clueless. "Some creepy fettish or something I guess." Kagome shrugged her shoulders; leaning up against the door, too tired to hold herself up.
"What?" Izayoi asked her brain not working quite yet. Her husband patted her on the shoulder and Kagome sighed out of frustration. All she wanted to do was go back to sleep and stay asleep, no more interruptions.
"Inu…" Kagome started speaking slower but Inuyasha had cut her off.
"Kikyo snuck out of her room with this knife," Inuyasha held up the knife, "and tried to kill Kagome in her sleep." He let go of Kikyo letting her get up and she stormed to the door only to be stopped by Inu no Taisho. "She wakes up when someone puts a bear in her room, but do you think she'd wake up when someone had a knife raised above her, no." Inuyasha mumbled getting up walking over to his family leaning on the other side of the door entrance way from Kagome.
"Kikyo is this true?" Izayoi was now looking at Kikyo, concern showing on her face.
"She needs to pay! She's taking everything I have!" Kikyo yelled charging towards Kagome trying to grab her neck. Inuyasha grabbed her arm again and twisted it behind her back before letting out a sigh.
"Kikyo… we need to talk." Kikyo looked at Inuyasha tears forming in her eyes. She struggled against his grasp trying to get loose to run away and hide. Kikyo knew what was going to happen, and she wanted to avoid it if she could.
"You two have your talk, then come down stairs. We will explain the rules to the Higurashi's in the living room. Then maybe we can all get some sleep today." Inu no Taisho put his arm around Izayoi's waist and started walking down the stairs. After the first couple steps he turned to look at Kagome. "Dear, go wake your brother and bring him downstairs with you." Kagome nodded before heading blindly down the hallway. She knocked at every room trying to open them but they were all locked. Kagome almost gave up until she came to a room with its door cracked and peaked inside only to find her brother soundly sleeping.
.~*~*~
"Kikyo, I'm sorry but obviously you have problems you need to work out." Inuyasha started before Kikyo cut him off grabbing onto both of his arms and looking up to his face.
"Inuyasha, I did this for us. She's getting in the way can't you see?" Kikyo fought back the tears; she had to convince him she had to keep him. Without him she wouldn't know what to do.
"Kikyo, I love you but I'm not going to be with someone who tries to kill their family." Inuyasha scratched the back of his head and half heartedly laughed. "I know, from what I tell you, it seems Sess and I are always trying to kill each other, but it's how we are. It's how we make each other stronger and show we care. Man that sounds gay, but that's not the point. Point is, your family is all you have, you should cherish it not try and kill it."
"Inuyasha I know you gave her that bear, and this note." Kikyo reached into her pocket and pulled out the small piece of paper and handed Inuyasha it. He sighed and nodded placing it in his own pocket. Kikyo's eyes started to shimmer with water, having him admit to it hurt her more than she had expected.
"Yeah I know I did. I still love you though." Inuyasha pulled Kikyo into a hug, holding her close to him and didn't let go. "I'm just drawn to her, maybe because she's came so close to dying twice now and she needs protected. I don't know but you should have known that I'd stay by your side as long as you didn't do something like this, or cheat on me." Inuyasha noticed his shirt was starting to get wet, and smelt the tears flowing down Kikyo's face. "Sorry Kikyo, but until this is all straightened out I think we should just end it for now. If it was meant to be we will be. At least that's what my mom always says." Kikyo grabbed onto Inuyasha pulling him closer, begging for him to not leave. He tightened his hug on her before pulling her off him and taking a step back. "Sorry, it has to be like this. Let's go meet the others downstairs." The two walked with their eyes downcast downstairs, Kikyo was a few steps behind Inuyasha wiping furiously at her eyes trying to get her tears to stop. She didn't want people to think she was weak, she had to be strong.
"Good for you two to join us." Izayoi smiled at the two as they walked in. She knew what had happened, just by looking at Kikyo's red and poofy eyes, and she was hoping that someone else would end up at her son's side instead. Inuyasha sat next to Kagome on the three person couch; he wasn't going to let Kikyo be too close to her after what had just happened, and he wasn't too comfortable being next to Kikyo either. The only place left to sit was a love seat, meaning only two seats on a small couch and Kikyo took up one of those seats.
"Thanks, three times now." Kagome whispered to Inuyasha a slight blush forming on her cheeks, but nobody noticed because she had her head down looking at her hands in her lap. Inuyasha just nodded and looked at his dad noting how tired his old man looked.
"You are all part of our small family now. You live in our house you'll follow our rules." Inu no Taisho looked at the group of children in front of him, holding back a yawn and struggled to keep his eyes open. He could barely think straight how tired he was, but he wasn't going to show it. "Okay, we're obviously not going to tolerate that kind of behavior in this house hold. Since this is your first warning, Kikyo, and since you did not know the rules, you will only be given a warning. I do not want to see any other kind of action as such from here on out. We also do not tolerate bad grades, if you are failing a class you will be ripped out of your after school activities and you will be forced to study at home with my wife. Is that clear?" He looked at everyone and noticed they all nodded and he continued. "Every Friday you are expected for dinner; if you do not show up then you had better call and tell us at least three hours before hand."
"Since when was that a rule." Inuyasha scoffed, crossing his arms, and scowling at his dad.
"We have gained more members to our family, so new rules will be placed. Now back to what I was saying. Also due to Inuyasha's lack of coming home, and leaving the house without permission, you are expected to be home no later than eleven at night on school nights and one in the morning on weekends. If you are not coming home after school, you need to call us and let us know. I believe that is all, at least for now." Inu no Taisho got up and helped his wife up. "Now let us get some sleep. We are all in need of it. It is six in the morning. You are all lucky I do not work today." Inu no Taisho, Izayoi and Souta all walked towards the stairs, the three ignored the doorbell when it rang.
"I got it." Inuyasha yelled and went to the door and opening it only to be greeted by Kouga and Miroku's smiling faces. "It is six in the morning what are you two doing here?" The two pushed past him going inside and went straight to the living room Kouga sat on the love seat next to Kikyo and put his arm around her while Miroku sat lounged on the long couch. Kagome wasn't in the living room anymore; she had gone to get a glass of water from the kitchen to sooth her scratchy throat.
"Hey babe, I didn't know you were going to be at the mutt's house." Kikyo glared at Kouga flinging his arm off her. She didn't believe that Inuyasha and her had only been broken up for a few minutes and men already were hanging on her.
"Do not touch me! You're so, so disgusting!" Kikyo's anger radiated off her. She got up and stormed out of the room leaving a laughing Miroku behind with a confused Kouga and a solemn Inuyasha.
"For you claiming she's your woman you can't even tell the difference between the two." Miroku said after his laughter had calmed down. Kagome walked into the room then and smiled at the two visitors.
"Hey all. Why are you here so early?" Kagome plopped down between Miroku and Kouga, who had moved from the love seat making Miroku sit up, and yawned. "Man I'm tired."
"Kagome, why were you being so mean before?" Kagome looked at Kouga puzzled before shrugging it off.
"I don't know maybe you met my evil twin." Kagome half laughed as she placed her head on Kouga's shoulder, who snaked his arm around her waist, and smiled proudly. Even after getting hit in the head by a confused angry half-demon behind the couch. Inuyasha didn't know why it had angered him so much to see them so close together. "Yashie-poo, play nice." She whispered and mumbled half asleep snuggling deeper into the warm body next to her.
"Kagome go to bed. You've had more than enough excitement today." Inuyasha helped her up and out of Kouga's arms. He had soon realized she couldn't stand on her own because she was so tired and picked her up. "I'll be right back you two, don't break anything." Inuyasha left walking up the stairs and into Kagome's room placing her on her new bed. He gently tucked her in and kissed her forehead. "Goodnight sleepy head." She moaned a reply before rolling over falling completely asleep.
