Ain't it funny how some feelings you just can't deny
And you can't move on even though you try
Ain't it strange when you're feeling things you shouldn't feel
Oh I wish this could be real
Ain't it funny how a moment could just change your life
And you don't want to face what's wrong or right
Ain't it strange how fate can play a part
In the story of your heart
Ain't It Funny - Jennifer Lopez
Ch.3 The Journey Begins
RECAP.
"Do we get to hear Kagome sing today?" Rin asked curiously as she smirked at Kagome who was glarring back at her.
"I was hoping so. I wanted to see how big her range is." Inuyasha said tiredly.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked.
"Like how low or high, I was hoping we'd just play some of the songs that were picked and just see how well you can do it." Inuyasha explained.
"...do I have to?" Kagome asked nervously.
"If you want I'll stand next to you Kagome." Hojo offered. Inuyasha saw the discomfort in her when he said that and looked at Hojo.
"No it's ok. She needs to do this by herself." Inuyasha told him.
"What do you want to sing Kagome?" Miroku asked her as she looked at Inuyasha while thanking him without words. When she shrugged Rin spoke up.
"What about Bring Me to Life? That sounds like a hard song. We can sing it so Kagome and I guess Inuyasha can sing the guy and girl's part and see how well it turns out." Rin offered.
"Alright with you Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. She nodded as she walked up on the stage and grabbed a mic. Inuyasha stood beside her with his guitar in front of the other mic.
"Don't we need a piano for that song?" Hojo asked. Miroku jumped up on stage and went to the piano.
"Got it, just tell me when." Miroku told them as he turned the keyboard on.
"You know the song?" Kagome asked unbelievably.
"...ya?" Miroku said hesitantly.
"Kagome stop trying to get out of it and come on. Rin you sing back up." Inuyasha instructed. Rin nodded as she pulled a mic closer to her by the drums. Hojo gave Inuyasha a narrowed look behind his back as he prepared.
"Ok, you ready Kagome?" Inuyasha asked. She nodded and he nodded to Miroku and he started the song.
"How can you see into my eyes
like open doors." Kagome started but suddenly stopped singing. Then Miroku stopped playing when he didn't hear her singing.
"That was great. Why'd you stop?" Inuyasha asked her. Kagome blushed from everyone's eyes on her and looked at Inuyasha.
END.RECAP.
"Kagome let's show them how you really sing." Rin told her and winked at her.
"No it's not that. Ok I was thinking, maybe for when we perform you should like stand back and then come forward when your part comes in." Kagome told Inuyasha.
"Ok, sounds good." He agreed as he stood back so he was aligned with Hojo. "Now sing." He ordered her. She nodded and looked at Miroku to start.
"...How can you see into my eyes
like open doors.
Leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb.
Without a soul
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home." She sang as Inuyasha started to walk up but ended up getting hit by the end of Hojo's guitar. Inuyasha closed his eyes tight as he got to the mic from being hit hard in the leg.
"Wake me up." Inuyasha sung at first through gritted teeth from being hit.
"Wake me up inside." Kagome looked at him when he sounded different and he just continued singing without giving her an explanation.
"I can't wake up."
"Wake me up inside."
"Save me."
"Call my name and save me from the dark."
"Wake me up."
"Bid my blood to run."
"I can't wake up."
"Before I come undone."
"Save me."
"Save me from the nothing I've become...Now that I know what I'm without you can't just leave me. Breathe into me and make me real. Bring me to life."
"Wake me up."
"Wake me up inside."
"I can't wake up."
"Wake me up inside."
"Save me."
"Call my name and save me from the dark."
"Wake me up."
"Bid my blood to run."
"I can't wake up."
"Before I come undone."
"Save me."
"Save me from the nothing I've become...Bring me to life."
"I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside." Inuyasha sang in a loud whisper type of sound.
"Bring me to life."
"Frozen inside without your touch,
without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead."
"All of this sight
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me."
"I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything."
"Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul"
"Don't let me die here" Hojo sang as back up.
"There must be something wrong." Inuyasha bent forward to get a better sound.
"Bring me to life."
"Wake me up."
"Wake me up inside."
"I can't wake up."
"Wake me up inside."
"Save me."
"Call my name and save me from the dark."
"Wake me up."
"Bid my blood to run."
"I can't wake up."
"Before I come undone."
"Save me."
"Save me from the nothing I've become."
"Bring me to life." Both Kagome and Rin sang.
"I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside."
"Bring me to life..." Everyone was surprised when she was actually able to hold out the last word.
"Great job Kagome!" Rin said excitedly as she ran over and hugged her.
"Ya that was great." Miroku complimented. "No that was awesome. I never knew anyone who could sing a song by Evanescence." Miroku told her.
"See you should have joined the band a long time ago." Hojo told her with a smirk.
"Thanks but are you ok Inuyasha? What happend when you started?" Kagome asked as she turned to Inuyasha.
"I'm fine, ok we know Kagome can sing in wide ranges now because I heard her sing some other songs yesterday but what I was wondering is when you guys planned on performing." Inuyasha explained.
"Oh...well I guess when were ready." Rin told him as she looked from Hojo back to Inuyasha.
"Ok good. Well maybe..." He started but stopped when Sango yelled from the doorway.
"Hey! I was bored so I decided to come and watch." She said as she walked over. Miroku got up and jumped off the stage to greet her.
"Hey Sango. What's up girl?" Inuyasha asked into the mic.
"Not much Yash." Sango answered with a smirk as she put her purse in a chair. "Kagome it's nice to see you again."
"Same to you too. This is Rin and Hojo if you didn't meet them the other night." Kagome introduced.
"Hey. I remember seeing you. Miroku's girl?" Rin asked. She nodded.
"Why has he been acting up?" Sango asked teasingly.
"What? Sango! I'm offended." Miroku said playfully as he took a step back but then went forward and grabbed her around the waist. She laughed when he grabbed her.
"Come on you two, do we need to go get you a hotel room?" Inuyasha asked playfully as he kept a straight face.
"Hey not a bad idea." Miroku smirked as he looked at Sango.
"Ya, you'll be going that room alone, unless Inuyasha would like to acompany you." Sango told him trying not to laugh.
"Let's go Miroku!" Inuyasha said sarcastically. "No...seriously...let's not. If I went with anyone i'd rather go with you Sango...just don't tell Miroku." Inuyasha said with a smirk as he crouched down.
"Ya right like Sango would do that." Miroku told him.
"I don't know...ladies what do you think I should do?" Sango asked with a giggle.
"No no no don't get me involved." Rin said as she walked over. Kagome sat down on the edge of the stage and shook her head with a smirk.
"Nah, your asking for trouble if you go to a hotel room with any of these boys in this room." Kagome told her with a smile.
"What! You don't even know me you can't say that." Inuyasha told her pushing her lightly.
"Ya but I have a feeling Kagome is right. Inuyasha you...just...no...your to good of a friend. Miroku is way to much of a pervert and Hojo...I don't even know you and you keep looking at Kagome so she must be your girl and I don't do that to people." Sango said as she looked at each guy.
"Hojo isn't my boyfriend. He's just a friend." Kagome clarified as she looked over at him.
"Oh, whoops, my bad." Sango apologized. "I didn't know."
"It's alright." Kagome assured.
"Ok let's get back to practice." Inuyasha ordered.
"Ok you know what i'm going to say something here." Hojo said with irritation in his voice.
"Yes?...Hojo today would be nice, what do you want to say?" Inuyasha asked with the same irritation.
"You've been here with this band for a day and you act like your the leader and everything, boy you need to learn your place and fast." Hojo told him through gritted teeth.
"Oh ya? Who's going to put me in that place? You?...I didn't think so." Inuyasha said as he turned around when Hojo didn't say anything.
"Kagome how can you let him do that?" Hojo asked her through gritted teeth.
"Hojo...stop, what are you doing?" Kagome asked a little afraid of what was going on.
"Are you going to defend this demon now?" Hojo asked now letting his irritation get to him. Inuyasha chuckled lightly as he turned back around.
"You just don't know when to quit do you?" Inuyasha asked roughly.
"Kagome tell him he shouldn't tell us what to do." Hojo told her. Kagome just looked at them both and Hojo grabbed her by the arm tightly turning her to face Inuyasha. "Tell him he needs to leave." He ordered her.
"Ow, stop Hojo." Kagome pleaded.
"Hojo stop it! Let her go!" Rin told him. Inuyasha took a step closer as he kept looking at the floor. When he was right next to him he grabbed Hojo by the collar and lifted him up.
"Let her go." Inuyasha ordered through gritted teeth.
"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Hojo asked bitterly.
"I never said you had to listen to me but what gives you the right to put her in danger because you can't do anything about it yourself?" Inuyasha asked him with a low threatening voice.
"Inuyasha don't." Sango warned him. Hojo didn't turn to look away from Inuyasha and saw his eyes flash red and his eyes widened as he let go of Kagome. Kagome ran over to Rin the moment she could.
"Inuyasha she's ok now put him down." Miroku told him. Inuyasha smirked at Hojo and shook his head.
"Your not even worth it." Inuyasha said as he dropped him to the ground. He grabbed his guitar pulling the plugs out of the amp and jumped off the stage. He put his guitar in the case and held his hand out to Miroku for his car keys. Miroku handed them to him knowing he should let him blow off some steam.
"Inuya..." Sango started but Miroku shook his head as a single to let him go. Inuyasha didn't look back as he left the club and got in his car and sped off.
"Get out." Miroku said as he walked back up the stage.
"What? Now your making decisions. This is Kagome's club." Hojo told him. Kagome let silent tears fall as she looked to the floor.
"Hojo get out." Kagome said quietly. Rin hugged her trying to comfort her as Hojo got up and grabbed his stuff.
"Kagome are you sure you should trust these guys? They are in a gang, they could end up hurting you or even raping you." Hojo explained.
"Should she be able to trust you?" Sango asked him with disgust dripping from her every word.
"You were right before when you said you didn't know me bitch." Hojo told her. Miroku jumped down and punched him in the jaw.
"But she's right. How can Kagome trust you?" Rin asked as she held Kagome to her. Hojo held his jaw as he walked out.
"Man fuck you, you are all stupid. Hung around that demon to long." Hojo told them. Miroku punched him once more but in the cheek that time.
"Stop while your ahead." Miroku warned him. "Sango or Inuyasha didn't do shit to you. You can either go home or we can finish this outside." Miroku told him.
"Whatever." Hojo said as he left the club.
"What about Inuyasha?" Rin asked as she looked over at Miroku and Sango while holding Kagome in a hug.
"Just leave him alone for a while. Let his temper settle." Sango assured as she held Miroku's hand in hers.
"Has he always been like that?" Miroku asked curiously.
"Well...no, we always knew he liked Kagome though. I think he got jealous cause Kagome was going with what Inuyasha was saying and when he asked her to sing she turned him down." Rin explained.
"I'm sorry Rin, what are you going to do about a guitarist?" Kagome asked as she wiped the tears away. Rin smirked as she looked back at her.
"Well we still have Inuyasha and you can work on the guitar and you will be able to remember." Rin told her.
"I play guitar." Miroku offered.
"See? It's ok." Rin assured her.
"I chose a bad time to come listen to you guys play I guess. Maybe this wouldn't have happend if I hadn't have came." Sango said as she grabbed her purse.
"No...this was a good thing. He's been bothering Kagome way to long now, maybe he'll stop now. I'm actually kinda glad you guys showed up." Rin told them with a smile.
"Sorry you guys were put in the middle." Kagome apologized.
"Girl please, you get used to that after being in that gay ass gang." Sango told her with a smirk.
"You were in the gang too?" Kagome asked with surprise in her tone.
"Yup, it was originally me and Inuyasha. Then Miroku joined and we all became good friends. Same with Shippo but I quit like two years ago and Shippo quit a year ago." Sango explained.
"Don't be calling it a gay ass gang around Inuyasha." Miroku cautioned her.
"Ya...that boy is to wrapped up in that gang. He's going to end up getting himself in trouble." Sango explained.
"Fuck! Inuyasha probably went to the...uhh...I mean he's probably at the park. I gotta go, see you guys later. Sango you stay here!" Miroku told her as he ran out.
"...what was that about?" Rin asked hesitantly.
"Inuyasha probably went to the warehouse where the gang meets. Miroku is afraid he'll take a mission to take his anger out. I'll drive you guys home." Sango said as she walked to the door.
"I have a car. I could drive Kagome home if you want." Rin offered.
"It's ok, I got nothing else to do." Sango assured with a smile.
"Thanks Sango." Kagome smiled as she grabbed her stuff as they walked out the door.
"I'll see you guys later. I think i'll go give a call to Sesshomaru." Rin said with a smirk as she walked to her car.
"Sesshomaru? Wow. Ok see you later Rin." Sango called out.
"Bye." Kagome said as she walked with Sango to her car and got in.
"Where do you live?" Sango asked her.
"At the apartments on 15th." Kagome instructed. Sango nodded and reached for her phone when she felt it vibrate.
"Hello?" Sango asked as she watched the road.
"Hey baby, I need you to do something for me. Do you have anyone with you?" Miroku asked urgently.
"Ya i'm with Kagome, why? What's wrong? What happend?" Sango asked out of worry.
"Nothing bad...yet. Ok remember that van you asked about at my house?" Miroku asked.
"That big one? Ya what about it?" Sango said as Kagome looked at her in confusion.
"Ok I need you to go get it and then have someone drive your car so you can get back home." Miroku instructed her as he hung up. Sango looked at her phone and made a u-turn on the street she was on and sped down the road.
"Kagome do you think you can do me a favor? I hate to ask you but I have no choice." Sango told her sadly.
"Sure anything." Kagome assured.
"Ok we have to go by Miroku's house and I have to drive a van to him and can you drive this car and follow me?" Sango asked as she turned down a street.
"Ok, is everything alright?" She asked curiously.
"I sure hope so." Sango said as she pulled up at the house and got out and Kagome hopped over the middle at sat in the drivers seat. Sango ran to the van and noticed it was locked. She reached under the car and pulled off a key with tape over it. Kagome watched her get into the large van and pull out of the driveway and then followed her. Kagome looked down at the car phone nervously as it rang and she slowly reached for it.
"Uhh...hello?" She asked carefully.
"Hey it's Sango. Ok listen whatever goes on down there just stay with me or Miroku or Inuyasha, ok? We will watch out for you." Sango explained.
"Uhh...Sango? Should I be afraid or something?" Kagome asked hesitantly.
"No...just stay close because it's been a while since i've associated with the gang." Sango explained.
"...ok. Is Inuyasha and Miroku in trouble or something?" Kagome asked as she tried to stay close behind the van.
"I think so. We just need to get down there." Sango assured. "Listen we'll talk more when we get there my cell phone is dying." Sango told her.
"Ok, bye." Kagome said before hanging up.
"Bye." Sango said back as she also hung up. Kagome followed Sango all the way till she stopped near a whole bunch of cars and motorcycles. Kagome turned the car off and locked the door as she stepped out of the car. She grabbed the keys before closing the door and walked over to Sango. A whole bunch of guys came out when Sango honked the horn all crowded around a guy holding two brief cases. They put it in the back of the van and took the keys from Sango. Both Sango and Kagome got a glance into the back of the van and saw it almost looked like a bedroom.
"Did someone get the keys?" Some guy asked from behind.
"Not sure." Another guy said and took the pair of keys Kagome had in her hands.
"Nice to see you again Sango." Another guy said as he walked over to her. Kagome was about to go after the guy who took the keys but Sango held her back. "Are you to acompany Inuyasha and Miroku?"
"Why? Where are they going?" Sango asked curiously.
"They have a drop off to make a few cities away." He explained as Inuyasha and Miroku walked out. Miroku looked pissed at Inuyasha and Inuyasha just looked pissed.
"Why did you agree to go on a drop off?" Sango asked as she walked over to Miroku. Kagome took a second till she followed.
"I can't let him go by himself." Miroku told her, Inuyasha growled as he turned to Miroku.
"Yes you can, I don't need you everywhere I go!" He yelled. He looked at the road when he saw a whole bunch of cars coming down the road. "Fuck, let's go." Inuyasha told him as he ran to his car and grabbed all his stuff and ran to the van.
"Girls get out of here now!" Miroku ordered.
"Some guy took the keys." Kagome told him as she looked around to see everyone getting on their bikes or in their cars and driving off.
"Oh...that's what you were going for?" Sango asked hesitantly.
"Dammit...fuck ok come on." Miroku told them as he ran over to the van with them following. He opened the door and they got in the back and Miroku got in the front.
"What are they doing here?" Inuyasha asked as Miroku closed the door.
"Explain later just drive!" Miroku told him urgently and Inuyasha sped out of there down the street. Sango and Kagome sat in the back on a mattress that lied on the floor of the van. Kagome looked around to see blankets and pillows on the side and suit cases under the driver and passenger seats and also a small fridgerator at the back. She turned to look at the other side to see a bean bag chair. Inuyasha drove all the way to the hi-way where it looked like they weren't being followed any longer. He looked into the rear view mirror to see Sango and Kagome sitting on the couch. They both looked a little worried.
"Why did you bring them along?" Inuyasha asked through gritted teeth.
"Someone took the wrong keys from them. The keys were Sango's to her car. We couldn't leave them, who knows what wouldv'e happend if we had." Miroku explained.
"So what do you expect us to do with them? Babysit!" Inuyasha yelled.
"You don't have to babysit us, we can take care of ourselves just fine Inuyasha! Your the one who went and took a mission. Don't you dare take your anger out on me or Kagome." Sango yelled at him.
"Unless you want to leave them on the side of the road then I suppose they are coming with us." Miroku told him with a sigh.
"You know how many people are going to be after us! And it's not like we'll be there and back in one day. Who knows how long it will take to get there!" Inuyasha told him as he looked through the mirror once more. His gaze softened when he saw Kagome's worried look.
"Then we will have to protect them. We'll worry about the rest of it when we get into the next city." Miroku told him.
"...W-where exactly are we going?" Kagome asked quietly.
"Well...uhh...Hong Kong." Miroku told them nervously.
"What!" Sango yelled. "Hong Kong! The guy said you were going a few cities away! Were leaving the country!" Sango yelled with irritation.
"We noticed that Sango! Thanks for pointing it out! We didn't ask you to get your keys taken up! Now you can either fuss the whole way there or sit back and shut up and make the ride a hell of alot better!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Fuck you Inuyasha! Don't tell me what to do! I don't want to be near you or Miroku more then I have to at this moment! It's not mine or Kagome's fault! I'm used to you but if you say one word to Kagome saying it's her fault I sware I'll kick your ass." Sango threatened as she sat back and crossed her arms. Kagome sat back also and looked around. The ride stayed quiet for a while before anyone spoke up.
"So how long have you known Rin?" Sango asked Kagome trying to make conversation.
"Oh i've known Rin since Jr. High. We weren't that close before but then we got the same classes and started hanging out and after that we stayed friends I guess." Kagome explained quietly.
"Cool...so...have you ever left Japan?" Sango asked.
"Nope, this will be my first." Kagome answered with a sigh.
"Same here, sucks it has to be like this though. It won't be to bad. Miroku and Inuyasha arn't that bad. Inuyasha just has a bad temper but after you get to know them they open up alot. They seem like jackasses but they are cool to be around." Sango explained with a little laugh to her voice. Kagome looked at her with a small smile. "Ya...just don't be scared, everything's going to be ok." Sango assured her. "Hey you guys have money right? Like for where were sleeping and for food?" Sango asked the two boys. They both looked at each other and reached for their wallets.
"I think we have enough money to last us a while. And before you get mad, we didn't expect to need alot of money so I never thought of getting any." Inuyasha explained. Sango looked at them both and saw a screen and moved it in the middle to make like a door so they were blocked off from each other.
"I guess we better get used to this bed." Sango said as she gave the mattress a few hits. She leaned over and looked inside the fridgerator to find it empty. "Hey! I think we should go get some food and drinks!" Sango yelled out to the boys.
"Once we get off the hi-way." Miroku told her. It had once again gotten quiet for about an hour until anyone spoke again.
"Ok I don't want to complain or anything but are we off the hi-way yet? I really have to go to the bathroom." Sango told them from behind.
"Almost, we're right next to the exit then we'll stop at a gas station." Inuyasha assured her.
"Thank kami, I thought I was going to have to die." Sango sighed in relief. Kagome laughed a little at her relief. Sango realized why she was laughing and laughed along.
"I was hoping someone would say something, I didn't want to be the one to make us stop." Kagome confessed.
"Ya, you'll get used to me complaining alot." Sango told her with a giggle.
"Ok we're here!" Inuyasha called out as he opened his door then went to the back and opened the back door.
"Thank kami!" Sango said as she jumped out of the van and waited for Kagome and they went into the store.
"Thisis going to be one hell of a ride." Inuyasha said as him and Miroku walked into the store.
"Yup...maybe Kagome will open up more though. She seemed really quiet the whole time." Miroku said as they walked into the isles and grabbed snacks and food.
"Ya...hey you drive next i'm fucking tired. You just had to wake me up so early asshole." Inuyasha complained with a yawn. Miroku burst into laughter, remembering that morning.
"Ok with me." He assured as he went to the back and got drinks. Both girls walked over from the back and looked down the isles.
"Hey Miroku you buy all this stuff i'm going outside." Inuyasha said as he handed all the stuff he had with him to Miroku. Sango watched Inuyasha walk outside and then looked back at the isle they were at.
"Inuyasha isn't that bad." Sango told Kagome as she looked at the different chips.
"Ya I know, I just don't think i've exactly got on his good side yet." Kagome said after looking up at Sango.
"He's just kinda stupid at times." Sango said after looking outside once more.
"Why do you say that?" Kagome asked curiously and looked out the window when Sango pointed at him to see him smoking. Kagome sighed and put the stuff she had in her hands in Sango's basket and walked outside. Sango watched her curiously without saying a word.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked quietly as she stepped out of the store. He looked over at her and took the cigarette out of his mouth and hid it behind his back. She rolled her eyes when she saw him trying to hide it. "Inuyasha I already saw it. You promised." She told him as he put it back in his mouth.
"Bad habit. Why do I have to keep the promise if were not even going to be playing?" He asked softly.
"Fine let me have the cigarette and I might as well join you." Kagome said as she crossed her arms. He looked at her a minute and smirked as he flicked the cigarette to the ground.
"Stubborn bitch." Inuyasha said with a chuckle to his voice. Kagome looked him with a questioning gaze as he looked out at the fields. She didn't know how he had meant that. "Your going to be making sure I don't smoke the whole ride arnt you?" Inuyasha asked with a chuckle. She didn't respond not knowing how she should answer that. "Are you always this quiet or is it just around us?" Inuyasha asked curiously as he walked over to her.
"...No...I just...don't want to cause trouble." She confessed as a tinge of pink covered her cheeks.
"By talking? Your allowed to talk you know. It won't cause trouble." He explained to her. He turned around to walk back to the van but stopped. "Sorry for dragging you into this." He said then continued walking. Sango and Miroku walked out with a whole bunch of bags and walked back to the van with Kagome following behind.
"Hey Kagome you can sleep in the bed, i'll sleep in the passenger's seat." Sango told her.
"You sure?" Kagome asked.
"Ya, go ahead. I'm tired so i'm going to sleep." Sango told her with a smile.
"Ok, thanks." Kagome said as she got in the back and saw Inuyasha sitting on the bean bag chair. "You can sleep on the bed you know. I can go on that chair." She told him. He got up and crawled over to the bed and flopped on it. Kagome was about to go over to the chair when he grabbed her arm.
"You can stay over here, it's no problem." He told her and let go of her as she sat back on the bed. She got the pillows and handed him some and put some out for herself and grabbed a blanket. Sango grabbed another blanket and went to the front after putting the drinks and snacks away along with the other items they bought.
"If you get hungry just grab some food." Sango told them as she pulled headphones on her head that she had just bought and took one of the cds that were in the van. Kagome looked over at the food and grabbed a bag of chips.
"Your eating now?" Inuyasha asked tiredly.
"Ya...I didn't anything today." Kagome said as she opened the bag of chips. "Want some?" She asked as she offered some. He grabbed a few and put them in his hand. He ate a few and threw the rest at her and turned acting like he was asleep. "Hey!" She said as she picked chips off of her. She pushed him lightly. "Shouldn't waste food."
"And you shouldn't wake anyone when they're sleeping." He said with a chuckle. She rolled her eyes as she put the bag of chips to the side and lied down on her back. Inuyasha sat up and pulled his shirt off and kicked his shoes off and lied back down. He turned to face her as he held the pillow underneath him. "Why do you have that club?" He asked curiously. She looked over at him and turned to lie on her side so she was facing him before answering.
"I don't know, it was a bar I used to always go to when I was younger then they were going to close it down so I decided to buy it I guess." She explained with a shrug.
"But now you have to work in it, you can't have fun like you used to." He told her.
"...I know...I was going to sell it because it was hard owning it at first but after we got more customers I kinda didn't mind. It's normal for me now. I have no idea what's going to happen while i'm gone." Kagome admitted. "Your not one to talk though. You spend all your time in that gang." Kagome told him.
"Like I said before, I never had a reason to quit. It's the same with you, I kinda got used to it." He told her. He saw her messing with her clothes and gave her a questioning look. "...what are you doing?" He asked hesitantly.
"I was trying to move my jeans. Kinda uncomfortable." She said shyly.
"You can use some of my clothes." He told her with a chuckle. He got up and grabbed one of the suit cases and grabbed a shirt and silk shorts and handed them to her. She blushed as she accepted them.
"Thanks. Can you turn around?" She asked him shyly. He turned around and she pulled her clothes off and changed into the clothes he gave her. "Ok." She assured him and he turned back around and lied back down.
"Kinda big but at least it's more comfortable." He told her tiredly.
"No it's ok, thank you." She said as she lied down too. He leaned over and grabbed the blanket and put it over them both and turned to face the other way. He closed his eyes as he fell asleep and Kagome drifted off asleep a few minutes later. Miroku was the only one left awake as he drove. He was getting tired and hit a bump on accident, he shook his head as he looked up thinking he hit something and hit the breaks hard. Inuyasha and Kagome both went sliding to the back of the van. Kagome was in front of the back door with Inuyasha over her.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha asked as he opened his eyes to see he was on top of her.
"What happend?" She asked with a blush as he got off of her. She sat up rubbing the back of her head where it hit the back door.
"Sorry guys...I think i'm going to pull over to get some sleep." Miroku told them as he looked for somewhere to park. Inuyasha went over to the bed once again but sat up as he held out a hand for Kagome to take. She took his hand as he was pulling her up Miroku put on the breaks and she was pulled into him. "Good night." Miroku said as he turned the car off. Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with a blush as he starred at her. She slowly got off of him and cleared her throat as she sat up.
"Needs to learn how to drive." Inuyasha said softly trying to break the silence. She looked over to the front with a half smile. "Damn, he's already out." Inuyasha said as he got up and looked over the screen to the front.
"Guess he was really tired." Kagome said quietly as she pulled an end of the blanket over her.
"Ya...you ok?" He asked her when he saw her rubbing her head again as he as he came and sat next to her.
"Oh, ya. Just hit my head." She told him as she brought her hand down to her side. "Can I ask you something?" She asked quietly.
"Sure. Not like I can sleep now anyways." He said as he glanced to the front while glarring. She laughed a bit and he turned back to her and smirked.
"What's with the gruff exterior?" She asked out of curiosity.
"What do you mean?" He asked not quite understanding what she meant.
"I mean you act like some kinda of gangster but after talking to you and all you don't seem like that at all." Kagome explained shyly.
Oh. I don't know, just the way I am I guess. Why you don't like it or something?" He asked her curiously.
"No it's not that." She told him with a tinge of pink slowly covering her cheeks. "You just seem to close yourself off from other people."
"That's because I don't trust anyone. Not many people can be trusted you know." He told her quietly.
"...Do you trust me?" She asked hesitantly.
"Havn't quite decided yet." He told her as he left it at that while he turned and lied down. She watched him before lying down herself to go to sleep.
MORNING.
"Inuyasha! Kagome!" Miroku yelled as he parked the car.
"Shut up, you don't have to yell." Sango said tiredly.
"Fine, I know how to wake them up." Miroku said with a grin as he pulled out of the parking lot then sped forward back into it and hit the breaks. The mattress slid to the back of the van this time, Kagome was already at the back but once the breaks were hit Inuyasha slid into her once again. He sat up when he heard Kagome groan once she was sqeezed between him and the door. She opened her eyes and sat up and just for kicks Miroku did it once more making Inuyasha push Kagome into the door with his chest to hers. She looked at him in surprise and a blush formed over her cheeks when he didn't bother to move away. He reached behind her causing her to look at his hand and he opened the back door but held her so she wouldn't fall back. He pulled her in to where she wasn't going to fall back then got up and got out of the truck and walked around to the drivers door. He opened Miroku's door and glarred at him. Miroku looked at him nervously as he was dragged out of the van by the collar.
"Learn to drive dumbass." Inuyasha said through gritted teeth. He saw they were at a restaraunt. "Get me some food to go. I'm going back to sleep." He told him as he dropped him and then went back into the van. He went into the van to see Kagome sleeping in the middle of the matress. He sighed as he shut the door then pushed her over so he could lie down.
"I'll get something for Kagome." Sango told Inuyasha and he nodded as he lied down next to the sleeping girl. "And Inuyasha...give her a break, she's trying not to be a bother." Sango told him. He picked his head up and looked over at her.
"I never said she was bothering me." Inuyasha told her.
"She dosn't think you like her very much. Just be nice." She told him as she got out of the truck.
"I'm always nice." He told her as he lied his head down. He looked at Sango when he heard her laugh a bit from his comment then sighed as he lied his head back down and before he knew it he had fallen back asleep.
