Chapter Nine: What happened?

'That was good!" Inuyasha said, wiping his mouth after slurping up the last noodles.

"That was…quick," Kagome said. It took 5 seconds for him to gulp the whole thing down.

The movie was almost over and it was getting dark outside the plane. The lights on the wings were turning on and people were starting to sleep.

Inuyasha flipped up his tray and stuffed a pillow behind his head. He grabbed a book form his book bag on the floor and buried himself behind it.

Kagome watched in interest. War and Peace. The guy was reading War and Peace. This was a whole new side of Inuyasha Kagome was seeing. She didn't know he liked to read. She didn't know he even had the IQ to read. Hmm. They actually had something in common!

"Soooo, you like classics?" she asked.

"Mmm-hmm."

"Like what?"

"I've read a lot."

"Such as?"

"I don't know!" Inuyasha said, irritated. "David Copperfield, War of the Worlds, Little Women, Pride and Prejudice, Peter Pan, Moby Dick, Dracula, you know. Stuff like that," he said shoving his face behind the book again.

"Ahh. I love classics! I like Louisa May Alcott and Jane Austin. "

"Oh. Cool."

"Yep!" Well that went nicely. I now know that he likes classics and will kill anyone who tries to interrupt him while he's reading one. Well, I get like that when I'm reading classics…


A little while later, Inuyasha shut his book and put it up. He looked over at Kagome, wanting to say sorry for snapping at her earlier. But he found that she had her book in her lap and her eyes were closed, asleep. He sighed. So much for being sorry. She looked so serene (A/N I got that word from She's the Man…), all cuddled into the seat. He smiled and leaned back for some sleep.


Kagome's eyes fluttered open. She seemed to be in a different position than before. She was a little more…sideways, the when she fell asleep. She tried to sit up, but found she couldn't, because a certain someone's arm was wrapped tightly around her small waist. Her gaze followed the arm up to a shoulder and on up to the face of Inuyasha, who was asleep. And hugging Kagome.

In almost an instant Kagome's face flushed maroon and she, not to gently, pried herself from Inuyasha's grip. And, well, he woke up.

"Wha?" he asked, groaning. "Why you red?"

"Umm…well when I woke up you were hugging me…" she trailed off. She didn't include the fact that it felt very comfortable and…right.

"Mmm…what happened?" he asked rubbing his eyes.

"I told you! I fell asleep. You were still reading your book. I woke up. You are hugging me in your sleep, and I was in your lap!"

"Oh. Well when I fell asleep you were…over there." He pointed to her seat. "You weren't…here." He pointed to his seat, and his lap.

"Riiiight. So then-" Kagome gasped, "-did the boogie man and put me there?!"

"Nooo."

"SO THEN WHAT HAPPENED?" she yelled.

"I. DON'T. KNOW!" Inuyasha answered.

"SHUT UP!" an old man from another isle roared. "I swear, just married and they're already arguing like us," he said, turning to his wife next to him.

Inuyasha and Kagome turned bright red.

"Do we really look like we're married?" Kagome whispered.

"I, uh, guess so," Inuyasha said, still red.

"Hmph. Well from now one you stay on your seat, I stay on my seat and this…armrest thingy is going to stay down to separate the seats. No more boogieman visits. Okay?" Kagome asked.

"Whatever," Inuyasha mumbled, already drifting off.

Kagome nodded and curled up in her seat, pulling the blanket up farther near her chin. But she couldn't sleep. It didn't feel the same. She eventually fell asleep thinking about how comfortable it was to be in Inuyasha's arms.


The rest of the flight was fairly normal. At least as normal as things can get when you stick Kagome and Inuyasha together on a plane for and 16 hour flight to Washington DC They both stayed on their sides of the seat, though both couldn't deny the fact that the wished the boogieman would come back to visit. But Kagome was trying very hard to deny this to herself.

After a long flight, Kagome and Inuyasha stumbled out of the airport. Jet lag had got them and all they wanted to do was sleep. It was 2:00 am in Tokyo right then and they were supposed to be asleep. But over in DC it was bright shiny and 1:00 pm.

Kagome growled at the sun, and Inuyasha pulled out his cell phone. "You!" he snapped to Misharo who was on the other end. "Where's our hotel?"

(M: Misharo, I: Inuyasha)

M: Grouchy much? Yeah I was too when I got here. So, your hotel it a little ways outside Washington. It's called the Tin Lama.

I: (low growl) The Tin Lama? Is that like some crap hotel?

M: (perky voice) Why yes, it is! How'd you know? I mean you'd think with a name like The Tin Lama that it'd be a 5 star hotel or something. But it's not! I'm sorry. I couldn't book a good hotel, because I spent most of my money on your flight."

I: Grr… (shuts the phone)

M: …You still there?

"Idiot." Inuyasha grumbled.

"Who?" Are you calling ME an idiot? Cuz if you are I'm gonna-" Kagome was interrupted.

"NO! I did not just call you an idiot. I called Misharo an idiot. He got us a place called The Tin Lama, a –65 star hotel. We gotta hail a taxi…"
