Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews :) Why is everyone saying 'You finally updated!' when chapter 6 has been up since Saturday? 5 days… LOL.I know it isn't a TRUCK LOAD of reminiscing, but I DID give you the longest chapter I've written (For NF).

Disclaimer: Why must remind us? I do not own Inuyasha. :((

Chapter 7: Reminisce Pt. 2

Kagome and Inuyasha were sprawled out on his bed; Kagome's legs were on top of Inuyasha's, their bodies' sort of making an 'L' shape.

"What about that one time when we were eight and we went to go get ice cream from your fridge?" Inuyasha asked.

"Oh yeah, I remember that…" Kagome giggled out.

Flashback

Kagome's POV

It was a beautiful summer day in the Higurashi household… not. It was so hot! Inuyasha and me were just laying on the couch bored to death. We had NOTHING to do. Boo hoo. Suddenly, I had an idea.

"Hey, 'Yashie?"

"Huhhhh?" was his smart reply.

"Wanna go get some ice-cream-on-a-stick?" (Popsicle, LOL. They're five years old.) "Mommy is outside watering the pretty flowers. She won't see!"

"Okay," Inuyasha said, "but it's your fault if we get caught!"

"I promise we won't, 'Yashie!" I told him.

I ran in front of him to the refigidater, or refriditager? Mommy told me what it was called, but I forgot.

"Wow, the redifidager is really tall!" I yelled while looking up at the icy cold box called a 'freezer'.

"Well duh," Inuyasha told me, "how are we gonna get the ice-creams-on-a-stick?"

I looked around, trying to find something to climb on. I looked at the dinner table, then I saw the chairs. "We can use the dinner chair!"

"But Kagome," Inuyasha whined, "my mommy told us to never stand on the chair!"

"Don't worry, you'll protect me. Won't you 'Yashie?" I asked him with me special puppy dog eyes that was SURE to make him fall into my command. Buahahha.

"Alright…" YES!

I took the chair and me and 'Yashie pushed it all the way up the the coldy box. I tried to climb up and stand on it, but I was still too short. Curse my shortness. Oh wait, mommy said never to say 'curse'… Oh well!

"'Yashie, I can't reach up and stand on the chair…"

"Well what am I supposed to DO?" Inuyasha crossed his arms.

"Can you try and carry me? Please?' Once again, the puppy dog eyes.

And of course, it works EVERY time. Heehee.

Inuyasha carried me (he was a hanyou) onto the chair and I opened up the 'freezer' to look for the ice-creams.

"Oh! I see them!" I yelled to Inuyasha happily. "What color do you want?"

"RED!" Inuyasha chirped.

"Okie dokies!" I went on my tippy-toes and grabbed the red one. After that, I grabbed the green one. My favorite color!

I closed the freezer and jumped down the chair. "Yay!"

We pushed the chair back to the dinner table. But now I found out we had ANOTHER problem.

"Um, 'Gome?" Inuyasha said.

"Yeah, 'Yashie?" I said back to him.

"We don't know how to open the plastic-y thingies on the ice creams," Inuyasha said sadly.

"Oh yeah." I thought for a bit. "Oh! We can use those cutty thingies that mommy uses to open it for us!"

"That's a scissor. We're not supposed to use sharp thingies, remember?"

"Remember shmember! They won't see us!" I ran towards the drawer that I saw my mommy take out the orange cutty thingy, or whatever 'Yashie said. Scissor.

I took out the long contraption mabobby and stared at it with confusion. "Do you know how to use this?"

"No…"

"Then I guess I have to figure out! Detective Kagome, on the case!"

If this were an anime TV show, I bet Inuyasha would have sweat dropped! Now, we were left to the problem of opening up the ice-creams. They were meltingggg! Noooo! We MUST open it.

I looked at the 'scissors'. There were two holes, one bigger than the other. Then there was the shiny silver cutting part, I think.

I put my four fingers in one hole and my thumb in the other, just like I saw mommy do it. I spread apart my fingers, and the two sharp silvery parts opened! "Wow! I can do the scissor thingy like mommy!"

"Yeah, yeah, hurry up and cut it!" Inuyasha said, probably unpatient and grumpy because of the hotness. (This is a five-year-old's mind… unpatientimpatient) I spread apart the silvery thingies once more, then put the ice cream plastic in between the two cutters. Then I smashed them together, and WALA! "I cut the plasticy! YAYYYYY!"

"Okay, now cut mine!" I cut 'Yashie's plastic for him, then put the cutter back.

I took out my ice cream and stuck out my tongue. "Ewwwy! It's all melllllted! …Oh well, I can't waste!"

A couple seconds after me and 'Yashie finished our ice-creamys and threw the sticks away, my mommy came in.

"Now, what are all those colored stains around your mouths?" she asked us, placing her hands on her hips.

"Um, n-nothing, mommy!" I said, stuttering from being nervous.

"Oh, kids… if you wanted some popsicles, you could've just asked me."

Inuyasha and I had our heads drooped down. Simultaneously, we said, "We're sorry…"

"It's alright, and let's get you two cleaned up."

After we were cleaned up, Inuyasha went home. I was walking past the kitchen to go play with my toys when I saw my mommy taking out the 'scissors'. "Now, what ARE these stain marks on my scissors…?"

I gulped, and ran frantically to my toys.

Flashback End

Author's POV

"Haha, I guess that was my fault." Kagome sweat dropped.

"Yeah, YOU'RE fault I got in trouble for taking food without asking…" Inuyasha stuck his tongue out. Kagome copied him and stuck her tongue out too. "Was not."

"WAS TOO! You even told me if we got caught YOU'RE the one to blame!"

"Well, maybe I was just kidding!"

Inuyasha's left eye started twitching, and his hand was balled up into a fist. Suddenly, Kagome latched Inuyasha and herself into a hug. "C'mon, 'Yash! Don't be maaad!"

"Keh." Inuyasha said, though he DID calm down.

Kagome pursed her lips when she remembered something. "I remember that time when you HIT me…"

Inuyasha suddenly though his bed sheets were interesting and fiddled with them. "Yeah… I'm still feeling kind of guilty about that…"

Kagome laughed. "It's alright. It was really funny when Sesshoumaru punished you though!"

Inuyasha glared daggers at Kagome and then grimaced as she brought back memories of his punishment that day.

Flashback

Kagome was over at Inuyasha's mansion today and they were currently playing with his toys. As Kagome was going to get another toy for their 'Doctor' game, she accidentally stepped on one of Inuyasha's favorite toy cars, causing it to break.

Inuyasha started to get angry and had tears in his eyes. "YOU BROKE MY FAVORITE TOY!"

"I-I'm sorry, 'Yashie! I didn't mean to!" the six-year-old girl told him frantically.

"Yeah right!" Inuyasha yelled. He was so mad, he reflexively raised his hand and smacked Kagome's cheek.

Kagome gaped at him for a few seconds, before holding onto her cheek with her small hands and started to cry. Inuyasha's eyes widened. 'I didn't mean to hit her!' he thought, worried.

"Kagome, I didn't mea--!" Inuyasha was interrupted when Kagome ran out the door, but didn't leave all the way before slamming it closed.

Kagome ran down the hall to the 21-year-old Sesshoumaru's room. She slowed her running as she was reaching his room, and then slowly turned the door knob. "Sesshy…?"

Sesshoumaru, who was currently on the computer, turned towards to door and immediately noticed a crying Kagome with her hand on her cheek.

"What's wrong, Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked, obviously worried for her. Kagome ran to Sesshoumaru's opened arms and climbed onto his lap and snuggled into him.

"'Yashie hit me…" Kagome sniffed.

"What! Where did he hit you?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"On my cheek…" she replied, and let her hand fall and grasp blue collared shirt to show the mark.

Sesshoumaru fumed a little at the sight of her cheek. During the hit, some of Inuyasha's claws scratched off her skin, making her bleed.

"It' hurts, Sesshy…" Kagome whined.

Sesshoumaru's eyes softened. "I know…" Sesshoumaru kissed Kagome's cheek, letting his demon powers from his saliva heal her cuts.

Kagome giggled. "A magical kiss, Sesshy?"

Sesshoumaru smiled slightly. "Yes, a magical kiss…"

"Thank you Sesshy! I feel all better!" Kagome said, as she put Sesshoumaru into the tightest embrace she could with her tiny little body.

"Now, I'm going to make Inuyasha say sorry to you," Sesshoumaru said sternly, standing up while still holding Kagome to his chest. "Okie dokies!" Kagome chirped.

Sesshoumaru walked down the hall to Inuyasha's room, seeing the locked door. "Open up the door, Inuyasha!" he yelled.

Behind the doors, Sesshoumaru could hear Inuyasha sniffing. "NO!"

"Yes, now open up the door and say you're sorry to Kagome!"

Shuffling could be heard, and the sound of an unlocking door. The door opened a bit, showing a slightly sniffing Inuyasha. Sesshoumaru put Kagome down onto the floor and let Inuyasha go on with his apology.

"Uh, Kagome… I… I'mreallysorryforhittingyou!" Inuyasha said quickly, wanting to be over with this. He had never apologized to anyone before…

"What was that, Inuyasha…?" Sesshoumaru asked, a slightly threatening tone hidden underneath his normal voice.

Inuyasha sighed and said his apology once more, in a slower voice this time. "I'm really sorry for hitting you, Kagome…" he said, as his cute little puppy ears drooped.

Kagome smiled. "It's okay, I forgive you! I'm just happy you said sorry!" she told Inuyasha, following with a hug.

Inuyasha blushed, but hugged her back nonetheless. Sesshoumaru just smiled, looking at the two young children hugging. His smile soon turned into a sinister smirk.

"Now, Inuyasha… I think you deserve a punishment for hurting Kagome, don't you think?" Sesshoumaru said, smirking wildly (which is pretty weird.).

"Yeah!" Kagome chirped.

"What! Why are you siding with evil FLUFFY!" Inuyasha whined.

Kagome just giggled. "'Cause your punishments are so funny!"

Inuyasha pouted.

"Now Inuyasha, your punishment! You have to wear THIS dress," Sesshoumaru said, holding up a small pink frilly dress that seemed to pop out of nowhere into his hands.

Inuyasha's eye started twitching from his annoyance and disgust. "NO WAY! Dresses are for GIRRRRRLS!"

"Ah, ah, ah!" Sesshoumaru said, putting up his finger up and wagging it, "this is your punishment and you have to go through it."

Inuyasha eyed the dress as if it was going to bite him, and then sighed. "Fine, meanie."

Sesshoumaru grinned as Inuyasha walked up the stairs towards to bathroom to change into the frilly pink dress.

After a few minutes, Inuyasha's head popped out from behind the balcony. "I look STUPID," he growled out.

"You still have to come down, Inuyasha!" Kagome chirped happily, wanting to see her best friend in a dress.

Inuyasha grumbled, but complied anyway. As he set foot on the first step, Sesshoumaru and Kagome were in hysterics.

"Inuyasha, you look… so… pretty!" Kagome managed to get out through her giggles.

Sesshoumaru was shaking with unreleased laughter. "Yeah, you should wear dresses more often."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Inuyasha grumbled out, crossing his arms over his chest; which was pretty uncomfortable with all the PRINK FRILLS…

Suddenly, Inuyasha heard a click of a camera, and looked up. There was a flash, and he realized; HE JUST GOT HIS PICTURE TAKEN WHILE IN AN UGLY, PINK, GIRLY DRESS!

Sesshoumaru pulled out the picture from the old-styled camera (Is it called a Polaroid? The ones where the picture comes out right away) and chuckled.

"This will be good for blackmail later on," he said.

Kagome fell to the floor once more, laughing all over again. She was laughing so hard; tears of mirth were falling from her eyes and dripping onto the expensive carpet. Inuyasha blushed in embarrassment and anger.

'I swear I'll get them back one day…' he thought, scrunching up his nose.

Flashback End

Kagome was once again in hysterics at that memory, while Inuyasha was glaring at her for the millionth time today.

"I… wonder if he… still has… that picture! Ahahahahha!" Kagome got out through laughs.

After Kagome was calmed from her laughing, a soft knock was heard. "Dinner is being served, Inuyasha and Kagome…"

"Alright, we'll be down in a minute!" Inuyasha yelled through the door.

Meanwhile, Kagome was fixing up her hair, trying to make it straight since it got all tangled up while she was in a hysterical laughing fit.

Inuyasha and Kagome walked down the stairs together, and into the dining room. There was a big table set for eighteen; even if there were only three people living in the mansion. There were eight seats on the left and right side of the table, and one seat each at the top and bottom. (Hope that made sense…)

Touga sat on the top seat with Sesshoumaru on his left and Inuyasha on his right. Kagome was sitting next to Inuyasha.

Throughout dinner, the four people joked and talked about the past. After the dinner, Touga offered for Kagome to stay over at the mansion tonight.

"Are you sure? I don't want to be a burden…" Kagome said a bit afraid she'd be a bother to them.

"Oh, of course not Kagome! You're never a burden," Touga replied.

"Alright, let me call my mom," Kagome said, "and tell her I'm staying over. Where's the phone?"

"In the kitchen, on the wall near the left side of the counter," Touga said.

"Thanks." Kagome went off into the kitchen. She found the phone, and dialed her home phone number and waited for someone to pick up.

"Moshi moshi?" her brother, Souta, answered.

"Hey Souta, could you give the phone to mom?"

"Sure." In the background, Kagome could hear Souta shouting 'MOM! KAGOME'S ON THE PHONE!'

"Hello, dear. Is there something you need?"

"Hi Mama, I was just wondering if I could stay over at Inuyasha's house tonight? Please?"

"Alright, but come back after school tomorrow, okay? And, I don't want a phone call from the school saying you were tardy to homeroom, missy."

"Okay, okay Mama! I promise! Thank you so much!"

"Alright, bye dear. I love you."

"I love you too, Mom. Bye!"

Kagome hung up the phone and went back into the dining room. "My mom said I could stay."

"Alright, its okay if you borrow Inuyasha's clothes, isn't it?" Touga asked.

"Yeah, I have worn his clothes before…" Kagome answered.

"Okay then! It's kind of late now, why don't you two get ready for bed?" Touga said.

Kagome smiled. "Okay!"

Kagome and Inuyasha went up the stairs together to his room, and he went in search for some clothes Kagome could wear to sleep. He found a oversized black shirt and a pair of green boxer shorts.

"Thanks," Kagome said. She went to the Inuyasha's bathroom and changed into his clothes. When she was done, she hopped into the bed Inuyasha was lying on. Inuyasha was shirtless and had a pair of red flannel pants on.

Kagome caught her self staring at his well-toned and chiseled chest, and Inuyasha noticed then smirked. He decided to tease her.

"Like what you see, 'Gome?"

Kagome snapped out of it and blushed deeply. "Wh… No! I wasn't staring at you, there was just a… there was just a bug on you, t-that's all!" Kagome replied frantically.

Inuyasha chuckled. "A bug, huh…? Whatever."

Inuyasha put his arm around Kagome's waist, hugging her under the bed covers. "Good night, Kagome…"

Kagome relaxed inside his embrace and snuggled deeper into his chest. "Night, 'Yasha…"

And with that, the two fell into a deep, relaxing sleep; dreaming only the best dreams…

A tiny bit of fluff:) I'm not sure, really. Longest chapter so far! 2,590 words :) All done in three hours, too! YESSSS. Probably not long compared to other stories, but it's longer than any other chapters I wrote and that makes me feel. PROUD.
