wk: Okay. I can explain the name of this chapter... After. 'Cause frankly, this chapter has nothing to do with pie. (Grins) Enjoy!
Chapter Two
Everyone Wants a Piece of Pie
"This is Kagome," Sango said when they went through the doors. "She lives at the shrine." Kagome was horrified. Now he knew where she lived! What if he stalked her or something? She didn't know who he was! But obviously, Sango trusted this "Inuyasha" enough to give out her friend's place of residence.
"Hello, Kagome." Kagome remained stubbornly silent. She tried to shrug off his arm, but he held fast.
"So when did you two meet?" Sango asked, looking at Kagome curiously.
"This morning," Inuyasha said, his lips curling upwards. "I got into a fight with Onigumo. She was kinda… caught up in it. She got away though. Kinda feisty."
"Uh huh…" Sango said, looking at the way Inuyasha looked at Kagome.
"I won the fight 'cause of you," Inuyasha said cheerfully, pulling out a cigarette. Kagome automatically took it from his mouth, stepping on it as it landed on the ground. Inuyasha gaped at her.
"Did you just step on my last cigarette?" Kagome saw Sango wince on the other side of him. His arm had become stiff on top of her shoulders. She would be damned if she let him intimidate her. Well, she would try to seem not intimidated, anyway.
"Um… No?" Kagome said in a squeaky voice. So much for no intimidation.
"You're gonna buy me a new pack," Inuyasha declared. Kagome blinked at him.
"Uh… I don't think so," she said slowly. "It's bad for your health?" she added uncertainly as he glared at her.
"Hey, Inuyasha," Sango said suddenly, urgently. She tugged on Inuyasha's sleeve once, sharply.
Inuyasha knew that tone of voice, and turned. Onigumo stood there, staring at Kagome. When he locked gazes with Kagome's hesitant one, he grinned in a horrible manner.
"You better get your ass out of here, unless you want it kicked and beat out," Inuyasha snarled. His arm still hadn't budged from Kagome's shoulders. In fact, it looked like he brought her closer.
"I want her," Onigumo said, pointing to Kagome. Kagome stiffened further under Inuyasha's arm. Inuyasha growled, this time bringing his arm around her and to her front to shield her behind him. Sango blinked at Inuyasha as she watched.
"I know. I could smell it this morning. When she ran from you," Inuyasha said with a bit of a smirk. Onigumo's horrible smile didn't falter.
"Yes. I want her. I told you as much this morning," Onigumo said. Inuyasha paused. He wondered silently to himself: Who would tell his enemy his weakness? Onigumo, after Kagome had run from sight, had said, "I want her. Give me her, and I will fight you no more."
Who the hell did that? It was so archaic!
"Yeah, you said if I gave her to you, you wouldn't fight me anymore," Inuyasha said lazily.
"I'm not some kind of trading whore!" Kagome yelled, jerking out from behind Inuyasha. Inuyasha's arm quickly went around her again, to bring her to his side once again.
"I decided that no, I don't want to give her to you. I enjoy our scuffles oh-so-much," Inuyasha said sarcastically. "Besides, I have my claim on her," Inuyasha said, smirking at Onigumo as he saw his smile disappear without a trace.
"Your… Your… What!" Kagome shrieked, struggling anew. She kicked him in the shin, and he cursed, and glared at her. He brought his mouth close to her ear, and she froze for the tiniest of moments.
"Be still! If you move… I will give you to him. Now." Kagome was the picture of a perfect angel as he drew away from her.
"Looks like she doesn't want to stay with you," Onigumo drawled, having witnessed the whole thing.
"It doesn't matter," Inuyasha said with a happy smile. "I still lay claim to her." Kagome very nearly kicked him again. Inuyasha felt her violent tendencies, and his hand came up to rest on the nape of her neck. He squeezed- hard.
She gave a gasp, and he pulled her to face him. Suddenly, his mouth was on hers, and her world was spinning. He kissed her deep, and the only thing she could feel was the need to cry. Her first kiss was given to an arrogant ass that didn't give a care about her. He just wanted to use her to get on Onigumo's nerves!
Still, even with all those negative thoughts, she started to enjoy her first kiss. He nipped her lip, and she parted her lips to allow him to plunder. Kagome could hear a crack behind her, and muffled laughter behind Inuyasha.
She pulled away sharply, and slapped Inuyasha across the face- hard. "How dare you!" she breathed. Inuyasha looked murderous. Then, he smiled and winked at her, to her bewilderment.
"She's shy, you see," Inuyasha said tauntingly to Onigumo. "But as you could see, she enjoyed that just as much as I did." Onigumo had grabbed a semi-thick stick off the ground and had snapped it in his fist as he watched the two kiss.
"I'll get her," Onigumo said confidently before turning and walking away without a backwards glance.
"You can try," Inuyasha yelled after him, then turned to take Kagome's wrist. "Sango, go ask Miroku for a ride. I need to talk to… Kagome, was it?" Kagome gave a frustrated scream as he pulled her along and Sango gave her a helpless look as she complied to Inuyasha's order.
"You bastard!" Kagome yelled, ranting. "You kiss me, and you don't even remember my name?" She had never felt more insulted in her life. He pulled her to a motorcycle, and when she saw it, she dug her heels in.
"What's wrong with you?" Inuyasha snapped. "You slap me- which I haven't forgiven you for, by the way-"
"Well, that's good, 'cause I don't want you to forgive me!" Kagome screeched as Inuyasha gave a growl and picked her up. People walking down the hill to walk home stopped to stare at them. Again, the dirty looks and hateful stares were given to Kagome as he made her sit on the back of the motorcycle. He handed her a helmet, and put one on himself. He took her bag, shoved the book into it despite Kagome's indignant complaints, and strapped it in with his own bag behind Kagome.
"What, you don't believe in 'I don't need a helmet!'?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha half turned, gave her a quick grin before turning around again. He started the engine, made it purr before squealing out of the lot.
"Hoping I'll get into an accident and crack my skull open?" he yelled as the wind rushed by. Kagome struggled to keep her skirt down.
"I was hoping, yes!" Kagome yelled back. "Where are you taking me?"
"Well, you're my girlfriend now, so I-"
"I'm your WHAT?"
Inuyasha ignored her and continued. "So I have to take you to certain place, make sure people see us. Spread the rumor around."
"I'm not going to be your little pretend girlfriend so that you can flaunt it in Onigumo's face!" Kagome yelled, one arm around Inuyasha while the other clamped her skirt down. She was sitting "side-straddle" so she solved the problem by tucking the skirt between her legs and clamping with her thighs. Then she put both arms around Inuyasha, her fear for her life insisting she do so.
"Are you licensed to drive this thing?" Kagome yelled.
"No!" Inuyasha yelled back. He made a sharp turn that made Kagome close her eyes, scream, and hold on for dear life. "My air supply is being cut off!" Inuyasha complained. "I was just kidding!"
"Well you're the one that put me on this blasted thing, so don't complain!" Kagome shouted in anger.
"Why not?"
"I told you why not! Because you-"
"No, I mean why not be my girlfriend? Other girls would kill to be you, you know," Inuyasha said as he coasted to a stop in front of a park. Kagome rolled her eyes. She gratefully hopped off the motorcycle, taking off the helmet and combing her hair through with her fingers.
"Well, I suppose I'm not like other girls," Kagome snapped. Inuyasha blinked at her, surprised.
"You're a lesbian?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome, instantly incensed, contemplated slapping him again.
"No! I just don't fall at your feet and kiss them," Kagome said, glaring at him. Inuyasha grinned.
"Other girls would love to do that, too," Inuyasha said. Kagome started walking, ignoring him. He followed her at a brisk pace, catching up to her and settling his arm on her shoulders again. She shrugged it off, but he settled it once more around her.
"Why do you keep on doing that!" Kagome said, trying to pry his arm from her shoulders, even trying to duck under it.
"'Cause you're my girlfriend," Inuyasha said in a puzzled voice, as if she was the one being retarded. She gave an infuriated growl, and sat down at a bench. He followed after her, sitting heavily on the bench. After minutes of tense silence, he nudged her thigh with his own. She stiffened and shifted away. He shifted closer and did it again. She leaped to her feet, walking away from him briskly.
Inuyasha sighed, got up and followed at a more leisurely pace. Kagome walked out of the park, looking both ways before crossing the street. She looked at the street sign five minutes later of walking, and realized that she didn't know where she was, like she did in the country. Sighing, she turned to go back to the park. She bumped into Inuyasha's chest.
Kagome tightened her lips, and walked around him to go back to the park. "Kagome, I'm tired," Inuyasha complained, following after her again. Kagome pretended as if he didn't exist. She continued walking until she got back to the park. She looked behind her to see Inuyasha a short distance away, a bored expression on his face and his hands in his pockets.
"Give up!" she yelled out, frustrated and her anger piqued.
"Don't wanna," he said with a half-hearted smile. Snorting derisively, she went to the other side of the park where his motorcycle was. She sat on top of the motorcycle, stubbornly staring at Inuyasha as he emerged as well, giving her a lazy smile.
"You're not going anywhere until you say yeah, you are my girlfriend," Inuyasha said. Kagome bared her teeth, and hopped off the motorcycle.
"Fine." Kagome grabbed her bag from the back of Inuyasha's motorcycle. Inuyasha gave a heavy sigh as he leaned against the motorcycle. She would come back when she got lost. She went to the end of the street, paused as she looked down both streets, trying to peer at street names.
"You don't know the way," Inuyasha yelled to her.
"I don't need to know the way," Kagome yelled back. Suddenly, she gave a sharp whistle and Inuyasha growled as he sprang away from the motorcycle as a cab pulled up in front of Kagome. She gave him a smug look. "I only need to know the address," she yelled, and got in. He tried to reach the cab in time, but the cab drove off before Inuyasha could reach the door. Cursing he sprinted back towards his bike, not bothering with the helmet. He peeled off into the street, following the cab that he knew had Kagome in it.
"Dammit!" he cursed as he narrowly avoided hitting a car from behind. He drew up next to the cab, and pounded on the window. The cab driver gave him a startled look and swerved. Inuyasha again narrowly missed hitting a car as he tried to follow the cab. Kagome screamed from the back seat as the cab twisted wildly, and she thought for a moment that she was going to die.
Suddenly, the cab screeched to a stop, and Inuyasha was there, opening the door, hauling her and her bag out.
"Come on!" Inuyasha snarled, depositing her in the back seat again, and she had to throw her arms around him again as he drove very quickly away.
"You're crazy! You're crazy!" Kagome repeated again and again to him, reaching forward, grabbing the helmet that was in front of him, and put it on her own head, or tried to. The thing was heavy, and the wind rushing by wasn't helping. She managed to pull it over her own head, and clutched the back of his jacket as he swerved onto another street. Cars honked their horns and a few curse words were thrown at them.
Inuyasha sped recklessly down the street. "You have five minutes to tell me that you want to be my girlfriend!" he yelled over the honks and the wind.
"And if I don't?" Kagome yelled back, clutching his jacket tighter as he turned again.
"Four minutes and thirty seconds," was his reply. "Three minutes…" he sped up. "Two minutes and thirty seconds…" She couldn't even tell what the scenery was anymore. "One minute…" He started to slow down, thank God. "Thirty seconds…"
He coasted to a stop. She hopped off in front of the stairs. "How did you know where I lived?"
"Sango told me, remember?" Inuyasha said, leaning back slightly. Kagome nodded.
"Well, thanks for the ride." She got her bag from the back of the bike. "Drive safe. Bye!"
"So we're going out then?" Inuyasha asked, smiling at her as she turned back to him in incredulous stupor.
"What? No!" she exclaimed, gaping at him.
"Well, that's what I heard," Inuyasha said smugly. Kagome shook her head wildly.
"I just said to drive safe and bye!" Kagome screeched.
"And that translates to, 'I love you, and of course I will go out with you'," Inuyasha said.
"It does not!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha grinned.
"Relax. You'll like being my girlfriend." He rummaged in his pocket, drew out a cell phone. He threw it to her, and she caught it after stumbling with it a bit. "I'll call you later. Pick up, okay?" He revved up the engine and drove off again. Kagome found herself staring after him, dumbfounded. What had just happened?
Numbly, she went up the stairs, gripping the cell phone in one hand.
"Hello, dear," her mother said as she walked in. She toed off her shoes, giving her mother a smile that she didn't feel. "Are you all right?" her mother asked worriedly, coming up to her and cupping her face. "You look a bit flushed."
"It must be the stairs," Kagome said blankly.
"What's that?" her mother asked, moving away from her and indicating the cell phone in her hand.
"A… phone," Kagome said slowly. How was she going to get out of this one? Giving her mother a smile, she said, "I didn't remember the number to the shrine, so my friend gave me… er… the phone." Kagome said. "I'll give it back to… my friend… tomorrow," Kagome said. "I was just going to ask you the number to the shrine, in fact."
"Oh, I see," her mother said cheerfully, not seeming to notice Kagome's hesitance. Kagome retrieved a pencil and paper, numbly writing down the number.
"Thanks, Mama… I'll go to my room and do my homework now," Kagome said, going up the stairs. Souta came out of his own room, grinning excitedly.
"How was your first day of school, Sis?" Souta asked. Kagome's own smile was a bit shaky.
"Oh, it was wonderful," Kagome said. Souta went into Kagome's room with her. He fell atop of her bed, letting out a breath.
"Kagome, I think I'm in love," Souta said seriously. Kagome turned to him, her own troubles erased from her mind. She dumped her book bag next to her desk and tossed the phone on her bedside table.
"Really?" Kagome asked. Souta nodded.
"Her name's Hitomi. She's so pretty. And today, she smiled at me." Souta said with another sigh. Kagome giggled at him, trying to muffle it. Souta glanced at her, raising an eyebrow.
"What's so funny?" Souta asked. Kagome shrugged, struggling with her grin.
"Nothing. So what'd you say to her?"
"Nothing," Souta admitted.
"Nothing? Well, why not?" Kagome asked, frowning. Souta looked at her with a "Duh!" look.
"What do you mean, 'Why not?'?" Souta asked incredulously. "Would you go up to a boy you like and say, 'Hey! I love you! Wanna go out with me?'"
"Well, you don't have to word it like that," Kagome mumbled. Souta blew out a frustrated breath.
"Well, I'm gonna do my homework. Thanks for listening, Kagome."
"Anytime, Squirt. Oh, do you-" the cell phone next to her bed rang. Souta looked at it curiously.
"When did you get a phone? Not fair! I want one! I'm gonna ask Mama for one tomorrow-"
"It's not mine! Now get out!" Kagome said, pushing her little brother out of the room before sitting on her bed and looking at the phone. When the phone was undoubtedly on its last ring, she picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hello?" A feminine voice answered. "Who's this?" Kagome looked at the phone before bringing it back to her ear. It was definitely not Inuyasha.
"Uh… This is Kagome."
"Well, Kagome," the girl said snidely. "Could you tell Inu that I called?"
"Sure," Kagome said. "I'll be sure to tell him. Bye!"
"No, I mean tell him that I called right now!" the girl yelled. Instantly incensed, Kagome brought the phone back to her ear.
"He gave this phone to me before he left, so call him at another number!" she hung up on the girl. She regretted doing it. What was she doing?
She lied down on the bed, grabbing the book on her bedside table. The phone rang again, and she refused to even look at it. It stopped reading, and the tenseness in her body seeped out. However, she sprang up when it started to ring again. Settling back on the bed again, she flipped to the page she was on. She ignored the ringing phone, and nibbled on her lip as she tried to concentrate on her book.
The phone was ringing again for the fourth time. Giving a frustrated cry, Kagome picked it up.
"Hello?" she snapped.
"Hello?" Another feminine voice asked.
"He's not here right now. I'll tell him you called later." Kagome hung up again. She felt rude, but at the moment, she didn't really care. Is this why Inuyasha wanted her to have his phone? So that girls could call for him and torment her?
The phone started to ring again, and she screamed into her pillow. She viciously looked for the power button on the phone, and found it. She viciously pushed it and it turned off.
Thirty minutes into reading her book, she began to feel guilty. How could she have been so mean to girls she didn't even know? This was all Inuyasha's fault. If he had his own phone, he could have answered his own damn phone calls and saved Kagome the stress.
She turned the phone back on again, and looked through his phone book, just because of curiosity. The majority of them were females, with a hefty number of males as well. His phonebook seemed to have no end as she picked the down button with her nail numerous times. The phone started to ring again, and she looked at who was calling this time. It didn't have a name, but the number popped up.
She answered it, figuring that he would have girls' names stamped into the phone. "Hello?" she answered wearily.
"Hey, babe. How was your day?" Inuyasha's voice said. Kagome gripped the phone tightly.
"You bastard," Kagome hissed.
"So it was good, then?"
"Tell your stupid girlfriends to stop calling me!" Kagome hissed.
"Getting jealous?" Inuyasha asked smugly.
Kagome gaped at the phone, and said into it sweetly, "I'm turning it off now. Bye!" She ignored his protests and turned it off. She threw it onto her bedside table with a "Hmph!" and returned to her book. An hour later, her mother came in, and tucked her in with the blanket. Turning off the light, her mother looked on as Kagome shifted under the blanket, grumbling under her breath.
wk: Sorry guys. I know this chapter was a bit short. And don't worry, I'll update 102.5 FM soon. If I don't, I'll give you permission to stab me and take my cookies away (Worse than stabbing me, I assure you). Hope you liked this chapter, even with its unadmirable length!
And the name of the chapter... Well, everyone wanted a piece of Kagome, and my sister said something about everyone eating her apple pie, and... Well, the name of the chapter was born.
Now to start in this story something that I have started with my other stories...
ReViEw oF rEvIeWs:
Congratulations, CrimsonBlade'srevival! My first reviewer! You deserve a prize! Unfortunately, I have none to give. Hope you're not too bad. Glad you like the story so far, though! (Grins)
Glad you think so, firebird5! I'm not too sure if it'll be too original, or what, but I hope my readers like it all the same. And no, Inuyasha didn't decapitate her... Although the idea was momentarily amusing. To explain, he was cheerful and so friendly to her because of whatOnigumo had said. He just wants to use her to annoy Onigumo.
Thanks, xSilverShadowsx! Hehe... Inu and the rest are in a gang, but just to make this clear from the start: Inuyasha doesn't do drugs, and doesn't use weapons like guns and stuff like that. Inuyasha was laughing at her because he realizes that she's the girl that Onigumo wants.
Hehe, sorry, Coner Girl! I'm afraid this chapter was a bit short as well. (Grins sheephishly) Couldn't find a way to make it longer, so... Well, this is ther chapter. I'll try to make the next one longer! And yeah, I do find the Kikyou-is-a-slut story kind of repetitive. Plus, I don't think she would really be like that. I mean, Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyou, so if Kikyou is a bitch or whatever, shouldn't Kagome be, too? It just never made any sense to me, but that's just me. And I hope it will be good!
Thanks so much, mouko-star! I believe my big head was just inflated with ego to the size of a watermelon. Mwahaha... I feel unstoppable now! Now I will be able to get the bubble gum I always wanted... (Grins)
I'm glad that you don't think this fic is redundant, DRAKE220! I'm gonna try to keep up the theme of... well... of "differentness". Is there another word for that? I dunno. And I'm afraid I don't know who Agent Paper ofR.O.D. is... Is that "Read or Die"? I watched maybe the first five seconds of it, then went to sleep... (Oops) I can see that was a mistake on my part now. Hehe.Glad to see someone that's familiar! Haha, glad to have ya here!
Okay, thoughfulchikk! I will! Thanks for the encouragement!
Gosh... I don't know how to break this news, GoldenTuna, but I'm most likely not gonna update NL for a while. It's officially on hiatus, and I'm going to redo it. Sorry! Don't worry... It'll come back!
Glad it has possibilities, Kimiki!Thanks for the encouragement!
Thanks somuch, Touya1! I was so worried that this fic would fall short from 102.5 FM, but I'm glad to know that you don't think that! Thanks again!
Haha, thanks a lot, Sunrider22! I'm glad you like how I'm writing this particular story! Hope you think good of the rest of the story as well!
Thanks, Skycat3! I'll try to keep it up!
Glad you think it's kinda funny, sapphirepink! (Smiles)
You're not a sadist, kayzer! I'm the sadist for writing it. Hehe. That's okay though, because it makes it more fun. And I'll be updating 102.5 FM soon. I'm half done with the next chapter. Patience, young one!
Thanks so much Zeldagurli! (Hands a chocolate chip cookie) Glad you like the story so much!
Thanks, Fuu43! I'm glad you're enjoying my story! I'm gonna try to have this fic go in a different direction than some of the other fics I've read.
Wow, I'm glad you liked it as much as 102.5 FM, Ange Noir. And yeah... I have to tie up the knots in 102.5 FM, and it'll be done. I'm thinking about a sequel for it though. What do you think?
Whoo! A 10/10! Happy happy. Thanks, country-inugirl03!
Thanks, chibi moon baby! I hope I updated soon enough... This chapter wasn't as long as I would have liked it to be, but I figured it was an appropriate place to stop. Hope you liked it!
Glad you like it so far! Hope I updated soon enough for ya, animefreak-superfreak! Tell me your opinions!
I'm so glad you think this story is great, my loveknows onlypain! Wow. What a sad name. What made you think of it? It's pretty though...
Thanks, Kasha-TheInuFreak. Glad you like it! And I'll try with the updating... As soon as the muses start whispering again... (Winces)
Thanks, SMiLES! I'm happy you like my writing style! Hell, I'm happy you like my stories! Thanks so much for your support!
Yep. Itty Kagsy is in school now, flip-x-fantasy. (Grins) Glad you like it so far!
Whoo! Look who it is! It's Saiyou the Lover! Hehe... Hope I updated soon enough for ya! (Grins)
Hehe, glad you like it so much, Esther Tan! And it's definitely a Inu/Kag fic. Can't have it any other way... Hehe. Hope you didn't wait too long for this one!
wk: Well, that's it for the first ReViEw oF rEvIeWs. I'm so proud of myself! This is the most reviews I've ever had for a first chapter EVER! WHOO! give yourselves a hand! 26 reviews for a first chapter! (Wipes off tear) Thanks so much guys! I hope you'll enjoy this story half as much as you do 102.5 FM!
