A/N: Here's the 4th chapter. I hope you all like it and I hope you get as many laughs out of this as I did! And yes, I give you all permission to laugh at my expense. Enjoy! ;)
Disclaimer: I still do not own InuYasha, I'm just borrowing the characters for a bit. :D
Chapter 4: Getting Noticed
Kagome took a deep calming breath before she opened her front door and stepped outside into the fading sunlight. The butterflies in her tummy flew into a frenzy when InuYasha's golden eyes landed on her. He gave her that heart-stopping, lopsided grin of his that always left her feeling breathless and then returned to the conversation he'd been having with Miroku.
Feeling disappointed that he'd looked away sooner than she would have liked, she took her seat across from him in the circle of their friends. Why did lack of his attention make her feel like this? It wasn't like he thought of her as anything more than a friend anyway, so why did she feel so irritated about it today? Maybe she was tired of just being his friend. Yes, that was it. She wanted him to stop thinking of her as just a friend. She was in love with him and she just wanted him to notice her.
Her eyes suddenly widened and a mischievous smile tugged at her lips as a plan formed in her mind. She knew exactly how to get his attention: stretching. She had often rolled her eyes at the way Miroku always gaped at Sango when she stretched, even if she was only yawning.
Kagome knew that InuYasha wasn't as perverted as Miroku, and that it might not work, but it was worth a shot. As she admired the way the sun glinted off of InuYasha's silver hair, she kicked off her flip-flops and curled her toes in the cool grass; she had to make it look like she was tired and relaxed. Then she hid a wide yawn behind her small hand and her body arched. 'Score!' Kagome felt the weight of InuYasha's golden gaze on her as she stretched languorously, her shirt riding up a few inches.
She was so happy and giddy with excitement though, that she didn't notice she'd stretched too far for the flimsy plastic lawn-chair to hold her weight. Her blue eyes widened in surprise when her feet left the ground, a startled "Eep!" coming from her as the chair toppled backwards. A thunk was heard as the chair hit the ground. Everyone was silent for a moment before a chorus of ' "Kagome! Are you all right?" ' was heard.
Only one voice stood out to her though as she blinked up confusedly at the sky. 'InuYasha.' Her cheeks turned scarlet and she squeezed her eyes shut tight. Well, at least she'd been wearing shorts instead of her usual skirt-she thought she might have died of mortification if that had happened.
A shadow fell across her and she cracked open one eye and almost groaned when she saw the golden eyes of her hanyou friend. Her blush deepened at his deep chuckle and the humor shining in his eyes. 'Oh Kamis, why me?' She wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole. All she'd wanted was for InuYasha to take notice of her.
Well, he'd definitely noticed her this time.
A/N: This happened to me when I was at my grandma's house. Me and my cousin were sitting outside with one of the neighbors just enjoying the weather, but I stretched too far and the next thing I knew I was looking up at the sky. It was hilarious. The only good thing about that was that I have no romantic inclinations toward that neighbor; he knows I'm a dork, so it wasn't too unexpected! ;P Anyway, until next time, bye bye! ;) Please review!
