A/N Thanks everyone for reading! Here's chapter five! I was going to finish this last week, but it ended up being WAY longer than I had expected so I split it up. The next part of it will be updated probably on Monday, or possibly this weekend if I get reviews :).
Special thanks to JP5125 and MsPonycorn for reviewing!
Chapter Five: Day Two: Preparations
Kagome opened her eyes to the small amount of light filtering in through the blinds over the window. She sat up and brought her hands above her head to stretch when she felt some resistance. In her half-sleep state, she forgot why there was resistance and kept tugging until her hands went where she wanted them to go. She realized her left hand felt a little heavy, but didn't think anything of it. She let her hands fall to her sides and looked around her. Why am I in Sango's guest bedroom? I never sleep in here.
She was too busy wondering about the answer to her question to notice a very angry hanyou sitting up beside her. He turned to glare at her and spoke, "Do you mind? I am trying to sleep here!"
Kagome jumped, startled at the sudden sound. She turned to glare at the offending person, suddenly remembering her dare. "Well, excuse me! I was trying to stretch!"
Inuyasha glared at her. "I know wench, you made enough noise while doing it, didn't you?"
Kagome glared and looked at the clock. It read 8:30 AM. She turned her glare back to Inuyasha, "Whatever Inuyasha, I'm going back to bed. So if you wouldn't mind being quiet, I know it's hard for you, but just try it for once, I will be getting back to sleep now."
Inuyasha glared at her as she turned to lie back down, face down on the bed. He lay down too and they both fell back asleep.
Sango came in about 3 hours later and shook Kagome awake. Kagome sat up and looked at her friend, "What Sango?"
Sango laughed, "Its 11:30 Kagome! You have a date in two and a half hours! Get moving missy!"
Kagome groaned and Inuyasha sat up, awakened by all the noise the two girls were making. "Can you two keep it down? I want my beauty sleep!"
Kagome glared at him, "You wouldn't be beautiful with all the sleep in the world. Sango, can you unlock me? I need to shower." Sango pulled the key out of her pocket and unlocked Kagome from Inuyasha. Kagome bounded off to the Sango's room to grab her clothes, with Sango following her. Sango shut the door behind her, leaving Inuyasha to himself.
Kagome grabbed some clothes from Sango's room and made her way to the bathroom. Kagome turned on the shower. She began brushing her teeth, while she waited for the water to warm up. I just can't tell Naraku about the dare. He will freak out, and that is never good. I'll just act like nothing is wrong and I'll just say I have to stay with Sango because of Souta. I hope he understands. With that resolve, she spit out her toothpaste and stepped into the shower.
While Kagome was getting ready, Inuyasha was still in bed. He turned over and faced the ceiling, with his hands behind his head. This is going to be a long month. How am I going to deal with Higurashi every single day for a month? She is so fucking stubborn! She's always glaring at me, and she already hates me. She did look really peaceful sleeping though.
Inuyasha's ears swiveled atop his head as he heard the water start running for Kagome's shower. He stood up and walked to the door and pressed his ear to it. He could faintly make out singing. Curious, he walked out of the door and towards the bathroom. When he got there he heard the sound of Ingrid Michaelson singing Can't Help Falling in Love and a voice matching Ingrid's.
A little shocked he stood and listened for a bit. Kagome can sing? I had no idea she was even remotely talented at anything.
Sango was heading to the kitchen from her room and opened her door to find Inuyasha standing in front of the closed bathroom door staring at it. Sango smiled a little and softly shut her door. She knew that Kagome regularly sang in the shower and that her best friend had a pretty damn good voice if she did say so herself.
Inuyasha continued to stare at the bathroom door and listen to Kagome sing. He snapped out of his reverie when the shower turned off. He sped back to the room and shut the door and lay down on the bed again. Her voice was so good. I wanted to stay and listen to her forever.
Kagome stepped out of the shower and grabbed her towel. She started drying her body. Once her body was dried she wrapped her hair in her towel and began to put her favorite lotion on, Dark Kiss, by Bath and Body Works. Once she was finished she got dressed. She pulled on some Miss Me jeans that Naraku had gotten her for her birthday last year and a white long sleeved v-neck shirt. Once she was dressed she put on a little mascara and a little eye liner and she took her hair down.
Her hair was reasonably drier now so she decided to let it air dry. She hung up her towel and walked out of the bathroom. Kagome went to the guest bedroom and knocked.
Inuyasha opened it and glared down at her. "What do you want wench?"
She glared back up at him and snapped, "I was going to tell you the bathroom is free before we get cuffed back together." Kagome turned around and stormed off to Sango's room.
She opened the door to Sango's room and went and laid down on the trundle that hadn't been put away. Sango was reading a book on her bed. Kagome put her arms across her eyes. Sango set her book down and turned to her friend.
"Kagome?"
Kagome groaned in response.
Sango nudged her, "Come on Kagome, it really won't be that bad. You guys don't even have to be together all of today. That's good right?"
Kagome moved her arms, "Yeah, it is, but right after I say bye to Naraku, I'll have to call you and Inuyasha to get you to re-cuff us."
Sango sighed, "It really wouldn't be that bad if you two would just talk to each other. Try to get to know one another! Maybe, this whole thing won't be so terrible. I know you hate it now, but perhaps you will warm up to each other."
Kagome stared at her friend, "Sango, he hates me. I already told you this. I can't change that and neither he nor I want to change that. It will just stay the same as it's always been. Not to mention Kikyou."
Sango looked at her friend sympathetically, "Kagome, it will get better. I just know it will."
Kagome returned the look with skepticism and sighed. "Can I use your computer?"
"Don't you have your laptop with you?"
Kagome nodded, "Yeah, but your computer is already on."
Sango laughed and nodded and picked up her book again.
Kagome sat down at the computer and logged onto her chat room.
Mistressmiko has logged on.
Kagome waited a few minutes before typing.
Mistressmiko: Hey, you there?
After waiting a few more minutes with no response, Kagome signed off of their private chat room. She turned to Sango, "Let's go make breakfast for the boys. I bet they aren't even up yet."
Sango laughed, "You know they won't be."
The two girls continued chattering about their brothers and made their way down to the kitchen.
While in the shower, Inuyasha thought about Kikyou. Kikyou would hate this dare. We really can't tell anyone about it or Kikyou will be ticked off and I hate dealing with her already. I am glad Miroku isn't making us be together for school or we would all be in trouble. From what I've seen I don't think Kagome's boyfriend, the baboon man, would be all that thrilled either.
Inuyasha turned off the water and stepped out of the shower. He dried off and put his hair up in a towel, making sure his ears wouldn't get twisted in the towel wrap. He got dressed in khaki shorts and a cerulean polo. He hung up his towel and went back to the bedroom to grab his cell phone.
Inuyasha made his way down to the kitchen. He walked in to find Kagome and Sango cooking and joking with each other. He tried to make it to one of the barstools silently, so he wouldn't have to get re-cuffed, but he accidentally kicked the edge of the stool into the counter and both girls spun around.
Kagome sighed.
Inuyasha sighed.
Sango laughed, "Cuffing time!"
Inuyasha and Kagome glared at her. Inuyasha walked over to where Kagome stood though and held out his right wrist next to her left one. Sango snapped on the cuffs and turned around to finish making brunch.
Kagome sighed and turned around to finish making brunch, dragging Inuyasha with her. He frowned and went to stand beside the miko as she prepared their food.
Sango and Kagome had decided on eggs, bacon, more pancakes, fruit, and sausage. Kagome was making the bacon and sausage while Sango made the eggs and pancakes. Kagome set some strawberries on the counter in front of Inuyasha and handed him a knife. "Cut," she ordered.
Inuyasha stared at the knife in his hand and glared a little at the girl in front of him, but proceeded to do as she had asked and started slicing the strawberries into little pieces.
When he finished with the strawberries, Sango set a watermelon in front of him. He sighed and started carving the watermelon.
Kagome finished her part of breakfast, and patiently waited for Inuyasha to finish the watermelon before taking the food to the table. Sango grabbed some grapes and handed them to Kagome, who put them on the table.
Sango smiled, "Kags, can you go wake up the boys?"
Kagome smiled back, "Sure."
She headed to Kohaku's room, dragging Inuyasha along with him, grumbling the whole time.
Kagome knocked gently on the door. After waiting to see if anyone would say anything, she pushed open the door to find Souta on the bottom bunk with right hand and leg hanging over the edge and Kohaku on the top bunk with both of his hands hanging over the head of the bed. Both boys were lightly snoring.
Kagome stifled a laugh behind her hand and led Inuyasha into the room. She gently shook Souta and Kohaku awake. "Boys, it's time to eat."
They blinked up at her, sleepily rubbing their eyes. Souta sat up, "Kagome?"
Kagome laughed, "Come on sleepyheads! It's food time! Get up! Get up! Get up!"
Inuyasha stared at the hyper Kagome, watching her coax the two ten year old boys out of bed.
Kagome sighed then her eyes lit up. "Boys, we have watermelon…"
Both boys shot out of bed and ran to the kitchen screaming joyous shouts about watermelon.
Kagome laughed and Inuyasha stared blankly at the recently vacated bunk beds. Kagome saw his look and decided to explain, "They both love watermelon, it's their favorite fruit."
Inuyasha seemed to accept that as an explanation and he and Kagome continued on downstairs to the kitchen.
They entered to see Kohaku and Souta jumping for the bowl of watermelon Sango was holding above her head.
Kagome doubled over in laughter at the sight. Sango glared at her friend, "A little help here."
Kagome continued to laugh, but regained her composure enough to straighten up and instruct, "Boys, sit down at the table, or you won't get any watermelon at all. Stop acting like little monkeys, we have a guest, and if you don't stop acting like monkeys we will only give you guys bananas."
Souta and Kohaku made faces of disgust and took their seats, still eagerly staring at the watermelon bowl.
Kagome laughed again and watched as Sango lowered the bowl and placed it on the counter behind her.
Kagome asked, "How did you get the bowl off the table in time?"
"Well, when I heard the screaming I had just set down the eggs and pancakes so I grabbed the bowl off of the table or our brunch would have been ruined."
Kagome laughed and sat down with Inuyasha. Everyone began to pile food on their plate. Souta and Kohaku looked longingly over at the watermelon. Sango said, "It is going to be dessert."
They sighed, but accepted it and ate their breakfast. Souta turned to his sister, "Kaggie, what are you doing today?"
"I'm going on a date."
"What are y'all going to do?"
Kagome thought for a moment, "I don't know, we may see a movie."
Souta replied, "Go see Prometheus! It looks awesome! It has aliens and stuff."
Kagome laughed at her brother, "Maybe we will."
"Can Kohaku and I come with you?"
Kagome laughed again, "No, anyway, Prometheus is rated R so you two won't be seeing it for a very long time."
Kohaku and Souta shared a look of despair that had their sisters laughing, and Inuyasha even cracking a smile.
Kohaku asked his sister, after everyone got over their laughing spell, "What are you doing today, Sis?"
"I don't know. Miroku asked me to hang out with him, but I may stay here with you two munchkins."
Inuyasha spoke up, "Why don't you go with Miroku?"
Sango replied, "Well Souta and Kohaku have been alone too much lately."
Souta and Kohaku both puffed up, Kohaku said, "You can leave us alone."
Souta chimed in, "Yeah, we are manly."
Sango laughed and nodded thoughtfully, "Well then, I may hang out with Miroku. I'll call him after we finish."
Souta turned curiously to Inuyasha, "What about you?"
Inuyasha grunted, "What about me what, kid?"
"What are you doing today?"
"Well, now that I'm not attached to the wench, I think I'm going to go home, and chill some. Then maybe call my girlfriend."
Souta and Kohaku giggled a little at the word wench. "Well, that's cool then."
"Keh."
Souta turned to Kohaku to start discussing what they were going to do with the house to themselves. Kagome and Sango laughed at their brothers. Neither girl was worried. They would probably just play video games all day long.
At one o'clock Sango brought the watermelon to the table. Before setting it down she said, "Boys, take all of the dirty dishes to the kitchen and put them in the sink and bring back five forks."
The boys shared a look and quickly collected the dirty dishes and returned to the table with forks. Souta handed them out and Sango placed the watermelon on the table. Souta and Kohaku attacked like mad men and Inuyasha stared, wide-eyed at the boys. Kagome and Sango laughed at Inuyasha's expression.
Kagome and Sango waited until the initial attack ended and quickly grabbed some pieces. Inuyasha was still a little dumbfounded by the boys' love for watermelon, but grabbed some too. Inuyasha looked at Kagome and Sango, "Are they always like this around watermelon?"
Kagome laughed and Sango nodded, "Yep, ever since they were little. Watermelon has always been their favorite fruit."
"Huh."
Kagome and Sango continued eating, ignoring Inuyasha. Inuyasha went back to staring at Souta and Kohaku. Souta and Kohaku proceeded to devour the watermelon.
Once the watermelon was finished and the kitchen was cleaned up, Kagome checked her watch. It read 1:45 PM. She pulled out her phone and texted Naraku, "Hey, I'm at Sango's so pick me up here :)."
Naraku texted back, "K, on my way."
Kagome put her phone in her bag and dragged Inuyasha to Sango to be unlocked. Kagome found her in her room and stuck out her wrist. "Can you unlock us before he gets here pleeeeease?"
Sango pulled out the key, "Yeah, we don't need to cross that bridge quite yet."
Kagome smiled happily while Sango undid the cuffs. Sango placed them in her purse and put the key in her pocket. Kagome and Inuyasha both stepped away from each other, realizing they were no longer forced to be close.
"So, Naraku is going to be here at two to pick me up for our date."
"Okay, is he going to drop you off here too?"
"Probably, but I'll ask him to anyway. Let's just pray he doesn't ask why I'm coming back here."
Sango laughed, "Okay, we'll pray."
Sango turned to Inuyasha, "What are you going to do?"
"I am going to go home, and lie in my own bed and be glad to be away from the wench. I may call my girlfriend so that we don't have to be attached again until later than your stupid little date ends."
Kagome puffed up like a blowfish, "My date is not stupid you arrogant asshole!"
"Keh. Whatever wench."
Kagome glared at the inu-hanyou and tried to restrain her temper. She knew that when she tended to get extremely emotional her miko powers started to show themselves, which was the last thing Inuyasha needed to know about her.
Ding. Dong. The doorbell rang and Kagome shot downstairs to answer it. She pulled open the door to reveal Naraku in jeans and a red polo shirt. She threw her arms around his torso and he hugged her back. (A/N I am so sorry that I have to do this and it disgusts me too. Trust me, I'm Inu/Kag all the way!)
Sango came down after her best friend and saw her hugging Naraku and tried to suppress the feeling that he was dangerous, and she should take Kagome and throw her inside and fling her Hirakotsu at him repeatedly, until he was gone.
Inuyasha hung back at the top of the stairs; he could see the door but not see Naraku or Kagome. He listened to them speak.
Sango asked, "Naraku what are you two doing today?"
"I don't know yet."
Kagome smiled and called, "Bye Souta! I'll see you when I get back!"
Naraku turned to her, "Your brother is here?"
Kagome nodded, "Souta and I are probably going to stay here for a while."
"Why?"
"We like it here."
Naraku nodded and lead Kagome towards the car. Kagome called over her shoulder, "I'll be back tonight! Sango go have fun!"
Sango rolled her eyes and shut the door on her friend. Inuyasha walked down the stairs to stand next to Sango. "She's right. You should go out with Miroku this afternoon. He really does like you, but don't tell him I said that."
Sango stood there a little shocked and nodded, "Yeah, I think I'll call him."
Inuyasha nodded in agreement and started to walk away from her.
"Inuyasha?"
He turned to glance back at Sango, "Yeah?"
"Did you feel any weird vibes from Naraku?"
Inuyasha shrugged, "A little, but nothing too bad, why?"
Sango shook her head, "It's nothing. Thanks for the advice on Miroku. Do you want me to take you to his house?"
Inuyasha nodded and went back to the guest bedroom to lie down on the bed. He waited for Sango to get ready and called Kikyou.
She answered on the second ring, squealing, and "Inu baby! What's up?"
"Hey Kikyou, nothing much."
"Well, why are you calling?"
"I was going to see if you wanted to hang out today?"
Kikyou almost scoffed, "Inuyasha did you forget that Sundays are my spa day?"
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, apparently he had forgotten. Oh yeah, my snobby girlfriend uses Sundays to pamper herself so she can lord over everyone in school during the week that she is better than they are. Inuyasha sat up abruptly, shaking his head, Where did that thought come from? "Sorry, I did forget."
Kikyou smiled, "Well, we all understand that you're forgetful."
Inuyasha scoffed a little, "Okay Kikyou, I'll see you tomorrow at school."
Kikyou paused, "Aren't you going to pick me up to go to school?"
Inuyasha sighed, "I can't Kikyou, I have something to do, and I'll barely make it on time myself."
Kikyou seemed to accept that as the truth, "Okay Inu! I'll see you tomorrow! Smooches! I love you!"
"Me too."
Kikyou hung up the phone and Inuyasha let his drop to the bed beside him. Where did that thought about Kikyou being snobby come from? I mean I've always thought she was a little spoiled and selfish, but I don't think I've ever called her snobby, even in my head. Ugh, Kagome and Miroku must be getting to me.
Miroku didn't really like Kikyou at all, and Inuyasha knew it. That was why she hadn't been invited to the Truth or Dare party at Miroku's house the previous Friday. Miroku always made it a point to tell Inuyasha how snobby, rich, stuck up, mean, and bitchy Kikyou really was, but Inuyasha didn't listen to him.
A knock on the door broke him out of his musings. "Come in."
Sango opened the door and Inuyasha stood up. "Are you ready?"
Inuyasha nodded. Sango led the way downstairs. "Bye Kohaku! Bye Souta! Be good while we're gone!"
Both boys shouted goodbye back to her, and returned to their video games.
Inuyasha followed Sango to the car. They got in and they drove in silence to Miroku's house.
A/N So, like I said before, read and review! The more reviews, the faster I add the next chapter! I'm working on chapter seven now!
