Chapter 15: Thinking

Kagome groaned as she tried swatting away the hands that tried to wake her up.

"Come on!" she heard the angry voice say.

Kagome furrowed her brows and rolled over. She heard a squeal and a thud. She's guessing she pushed Jade off the bed and she fell on the floor.

"Kagome!" she heard her daughter say frustrated. "Wake up!"

Kagome pulled the covers over her head. "I don't have work today," she muttered. "Please let me sleep."

She felt weight on top of her and the covers pulled off. She groaned and opened her eyes to meet annoyed ones. "What now?" she sighed.

Jade frowned. "Gees! Not even a 'good morning' do I get."

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "What do you want now?"

Jade shook her head. "You sound more and more like my Dad," she said disappointed.

Kagome brought her hands to her face and groaned. "I just had a terrible day at work with your Dad yesterday so please don't remind me!"

Jade chuckled, "Oh, suck it up! Whatever happened last night is your problem. Not get up!"

Kagome pouted, "Why?"

Jade smiled sweetly. "Because we're going to the amusement park today!" she said cheerfully, getting off Kagome and now standing.

Kagome scratched her head and furrowed her brows in confusion. "What? Today?"

Jade nodded. "Yup! Yup! Now get your lazy ass up and get ready. I already went to the bathroom so it's all yours. Now hurry up!" she commanded as she walked out the room.

Kagome yawned and stretched. She lazily got off the bed and collected her clothes and went to the bathroom.

After that and getting dressed and tying her hair in a ponytail she was ready.

She walked down stairs and was greeted by Jade.

"Took you long enough! Man, you're one lazy fat ass!" Jade said as she got up from the couch.

"Where's Sango and Miroku?" Kagome asked.

"We're right here," Miroku mumbled as he entered the living room with his pajamas on and a cup of coffee in his hand. Sango entered also in her pajamas and a cup of coffee in her hand.

Kagome tilted her head in confusion. "You're not going to the amusement park?" she asked confused.

Miroku raised a brow. "Are you kidding me?" he pointed to Jade. "Have you seen her at a freaking amusement park?"

Jade stuck her tongue out at him. "Your fault for not going to the roller coaster with me!" she protested.

Miroku frowned. "That was because I ate and I wasn't going on a roller coaster with you. For all I know, you could have pushed me off."

Jade rolled her eyes. "Pussy," she mumbled.

"Jade!" Kagome scolded.

Jade looked at her innocently. "What? It's true!"

Miroku smirked and stuck his tongue out. "Ha ha! You're in trouble," he nagged.

Sango sighed and smacked her husband on the head. "You act like a kid, you know?" she looked at Jade. "Say that one more time and you're grounded. I can only say that."

Jade shrugged. "Deal."

Kagome blinked and shook her head. "Okay, okay, okay, okay! I'm confused!"

Everyone looked at her like she was crazy.

Kagome glared at Jade. "You woke me up so we can go to the amusement park and they're not going!"

Jade nodded. "I know they're not," she said slowly to Kagome as if she's retarted.

Kagome bit the side of her cheek, trying to maintain her patience. "Would you care to explain to me what the hell is going on?" she asked softly.

Jade opened her mouth to speak but the door bell interrupted her. She smiled, "I'll get it!"

Once she opened the door, Kagome wanted to groan.

Inuyasha huffed and stepped inside the house. "Morning guys," he said roughly.

Miroku smiled. "Someone didn't have their coffee in the morning," he said as he teased his best friend by drinking his.

Inuyasha looked at Sango. "Can I have your permission to beat the shit out of him?" he asked sweetly.

Sango looked at him lazily and sipped on her coffee. "No," she said simply.

Miroku pointed at Inuyasha. "Ha ha!" he cheered as he did a happy dance.

Sango smacked him on the head. "That's my job."

Inuyasha sniggered as his best friend pouted.

"So," he clapped his hands together. "Are we ready?" he asked looking at Jade.

Jade nodded and looked back at Kagome. "Let's go."

Kagome raised a brow. "Just us three." Didn't they just had another emotional encounter last night?

Inuyasha shook his head. "Nope."

Kagome stared at him. "Then who else?" she asked.

"ME!"

Kagome eyes widen as she saw her brother entered the house with big grin and running toward her.

"Souta!" she squealed as her brother gave her a bear hug and swung her around.

He put her down and pouted. "You haven't gone to visit me," he whined.

Kagome hit him on the shoulder and rolled her eyes to Inuyasha. "Ask him why?" she said. "Working my ass all the time."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Working for me is not easy."

Souta looked at the two of them and raised an eyebrow. "I sense something," he said waving his hands. "Is it . . . tension?" he guessed.

"Shut up," the two adults muttered.

Souta squealed. "I was right. Yay!"

Kagome smacked him on the head. "You're annoying as ever!" she groaned.

Souta pouted. "But you still love me and you can't deny it," he said cutely.

Inuyasha rose a brow. "So that's where Jade got it from," he muttered.

Jade yawned out loud. "Can we go now?" she whined.

Souta grinned and ran to her niece and picked her up, throwing her over his shoulders and ran out the house with her laughing and screaming.

Inuyasha sighed and looked at Kagome. He examined at what she was wearing which was a pair a jeans and a red tee-shirt. He nodded in approval and mentally smacked himself.

"So? Are you ready?" he asked slowly.

Kagome nodded. "I just need my purse," she replied.

Inuyasha pointed outside the door with his thumb. "We'll wait outside," he looked back at the married couple. "Later guys," he waved and walked out.

Kagome walked to the closet and grabbed her purse and made sure she had everything in it. Once she was satisfied, she turned to her friends to excuse herself and was greeted by smirks.

"What?" she asked.

Sango smiled. "Is there something we should know about you and Inu, Kags?" she asked slyly.

"Have you guys done something naughty?" Miroku winked.

Kagome blushed and shook her head. "No!" she glared at Miroku, "You perv!"

Miroku shrugged. "Don't deny it. You know you want to shag him cause he's a fine piece of ass," he said the last part like a girl would and snapped his finger with an attitude.

Kagome blushed even more but she continued to glare at him. "If you think he's a fine piece of ass then why don't you screw him?" she retorted. But then again she couldn't deny the fact that Inuyasha is a fine piece of ass cause he looked good in his black, baggy pants and his green, muscle shirt.

Miroku shook his head. "Hell no! If I wanted a threesome I would do it with another woman, not my best friend," he shuddered.

Sango smacked him again. "You idiot! As if I'll agree to that!" she yelled. She looked back at Kagome and smiled. "Go have fun, Kagome," she said softly. "And be careful."

Kagome rolled her eyes and walked to the door. "It's just the amusement park," she said as she left.

As the door closed, Sango sighed. "I didn't mean that."

Miroku rubbed his temples. "Do you think she knows?"

Sango shook her head. "I don't know but I think Inuyasha should be the one to tell her."

"I'm hungry," Kagome whined as she sat on one of the benches, waiting for Souta and Jade to get off from a ride.

"It's one o'clock," Inuyasha said, reading from his cell phone. "We'll eat at three. Suck it up."

Kagome shook her head. "No, I don't think I can. I need food. I didn't have breakfast," she explained.

Inuyasha looked at her with wide eyes. "No breakfast?" he asked in disbelieve.

Kagome nodded. "Jade didn't give me a chance to eat."

Inuyasha stood up. "Come on," he ordered, and he was walking now.

Kagome followed. "Where are we going?" she asked.

"Getting you something to eat," he said roughly. "I'm not going to take the blame if you faint on me. We've been here for hours walking under the sun and you haven't eaten."

Kagome smiled. "Thanks."

"Hot dog sound okay?" he asked.

"Anything sounds okay to me," she said.

Inuyasha nodded. "Hot dog it is then."

The two of them walked to a hot dog stand and ordered. The two of them sat down on one of the tables.

Inuyasha stared at Kagome as she ate. "I see you're still a fat ass," he commented, biting his hot dog.

Kagome swallowed and grabbed her napkin.

Inuyasha was surprised when she reached over and wiped his bottom lip. She showed him the napkin and it seemed that he had mustard on his lip.

"And you're still a pig," she shot back.

Inuyasha stuck his tongue at her and sipped his soda.

Kagome smiled as she continued eating. Then her smile faltered as she thought back about last night in the office.

"Hey," she heard.

She looked up to see Inuyasha with a serious face.

"Yeah?"

Inuyasha's expressions softened. "Thinking about last night?" he asked softly.

Kagome sighed. "Yeah."

Inuyasha shrugged. "Let's just forget about it."

"It's kind of hard to," she said softly.

Inuyasha nodded. "I know what you mean?"

"How about a change of subject?" Kagome suggested.

Inuyasha nodded. "Anything would be good."

Kagome bit into her hot dog as she thought. Finally, finding one she asked, "Do you often take Jade and Souta to places like this?"

Inuyasha nodded. "Sometimes. I don't really like going on the rides like I used to."

"Probably cause you're old," Kagome teased.

"Look who's talking," Inuyasha retorted.

Kagome stuck her tongue out.

"Anyway . . . I like to bring Souta with me cause he gets to spend time with Jade and because he can make sure she's safe when she's on a ride while I wait for them."

Kagome scrunched her face. "Don't you get bored?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "I do but as long Jade is happy."

Kagome smiled. "You're a softy," she teased.

Inuyasha blushed. "Am not," he protested.

Kagome giggled and nodded. "Yeah, you are," she smiled softly. "It's cute."

Inuyasha stared at her with an expression she couldn't read but he changed it back to a normal one.

"We're back!" Souta said cheerfully as he sat next to Inuyasha.

Jade sat next to Kagome and took the hot dog Kagome had in her hand and stared eating it. "Thanks," she said.

Kagome frowned. "That was mine!"

"Was," Jade stated.

Souta was about to reach for one of Inuyasha's hot dogs but his hand was swatted.

"Ow!" Souta yelped.

Inuyasha growled. "Get your own."

Souta hit him lightly on the head. "Bad doggie!" He looked back at Jade. "Let's go get some food. Some people just don't know that sharing is caring."

Inuyasha blinked. "Yeah but I don't like you," he said casually.

Souta faked a surprised gasp and placed his hand on his chest. "I'm hurt," he said tearily. Then he gave his attention to Jade. "Come on."

Jade finished the rest of the hot dog and stole some of Kagome's drink. She let out a burp. "Sure, let's go," she said as she walked away with her uncle.

Kagome shook her head. "Talk about some table manners."

Inuyasha sighed, "And you still think it's from me. I say it's from Souta."

"I'll have to agree with you on that one," Kagome said.

After everyone ate, they all walked for a while.

"Let's go on the Giant Drop!" Jade said excitingly.

"But you just ate," Kagome protested.

Jade blinked. "About thirty minutes ago." She looked at Souta. "Let's go."

Souta gave her two thumbs up. "I'm in."

The two of them walked to the line.

Kagome turned around and glared at Inuyasha. "Aren't you gonna stop them? They'll throw up!"

Inuyasha yawned and walked to one of the benches and sat down. "Their problem," he simply said.

Kagome sighed frustratingly. "You're impossible!" she said as she sat down as well.

Inuyasha stared at her with the same expression he did earlier. She still couldn't read through it but she knew it was something that bothered him.

"What?" she asked childishly.

Inuyasha snapped out of his little daze and raise a brow. "What?"

Kagome shrugged. "I don't know. You tell me. You're the one with the weird expression."

Inuyasha looked away. "It's nothing," he whispered coldly.

Kagome grimaced. "It didn't look like nothing to me."

Inuyasha glared at her. "Just drop it," he growled.

Kagome shrugged. "You're the one making a big deal out of it, not me."

Inuyasha sighed and looked away. He went back into a thinking mood.

Kagome stared at him for a moment before looking away. She looked around the park and noticed a lot didn't change much.

'Except for some rides but everything seems to be the same,' she thought.

Time went by and soon it was night time. Souta and Jade went on almost every ride they could possibly go on and only threw up once. Kagome and Inuyasha joined on only a few but most of the time they stayed waiting. They didn't talk as much. They pretty much stayed quiet.

Kagome wasn't at all surprised when Inuyasha didn't speak to her. She didn't blame him.

"Let's go on-"

"Jade, I think it's time to leave," Inuyasha said roughly. "It's getting late."

Jade pouted. "Just one more," she pleaded.

Inuyasha looked t the young girl before her.

"Yeah! One more!" Souta pouted as well. He made a sad puppy face. "Come on. You can't say no to an adorable face such as mine," he said like a conceited girl.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "If you stop doing that disturbing face you can go," he said in defeat.

"Yay!" Jade cheered. "Let's go on the Ferris Wheel!"

Souta grimaced. "The Ferris Wheel?"

Jade nodded. "Yeah," she said. "It's a beautiful night so let go on the Ferris Wheel!"

Souta shrugged. "Fine," he sighed. He started walking toward the line.

Jade looked back at the two adults. "You guys go on, too," she said.

Inuyasha shook his head. "I don't like the Ferris Wheel," he said.

Jade shrugged. "Does it look like I care? Come on!" she grabbed a hand from each adult and dragged them to the ride.

Once it was their turned to go on, Jade sat next to Souta.

Kagome freaked just a little. That would mean she has to sit next to Inuyasha and right now between them is not so good.

"Come on," Jade said.

"Um . . ." What can Kagome say?

Then she felt a hand on her arm, she looked up and saw Inuyasha staring at the little cart.

"Come on," he said, pulling her to the ride.

Once the ride started, Kagome didn't know what exactly to say to him. It wasn't long when her neck started to feel sore. Sitting all day and walking really got to her. She rubbed the back of her neck to relief it. And she shivered just a little.

Then a funny thing happened and it surprised her.

She felt someone tug on her from and pull it away from her neck. With that same hand she felt it being pulled and her body was closer to the body next to her. She felt a hand pushing her head gently to a shoulder.

Kagome could have sworn she felt a blush forming on her cheek. She looked up and saw Inuyasha not even looking at her but he had a soft expression on.

"Inuyasha . . ." she breathed.

He closed his eyes for a moment and opened them again.

"Stupid," he said softly. "If you were going to get cold, you should have brought a coat."

Kagome stayed quiet.

"I've been thinking," he whispered.

Kagome paid close attention.

Inuyasha sighed. He grabbed one of Kagome's hands and twiddled their fingers together.

Again that same jolt they felt back at the office last night happened again.

Kagome blushed as she stared at their hands molded together and looked back at Inuyasha.

Inuyasha bit his lip. "I think . . . I think what is going on between us is not healthy for the both of us," he said.

Kagome didn't say anything but she silently agreed.

"And it's not good for Jade either," he continued. "And it seems that she has finally let you in a little and so far she's happy."

"So far?" Kagome questioned.

Inuyasha shrugged. "How do we know you're not leaving again?" he whispered.

Kagome sighed, "Inuyasha . . . I don't plan on going anywhere."

Inuyasha bit his lip again. "I know," he said. "Just don't hurt her," he plead gently.

Kagome's face softened. "I won't anymore," she promised.

Inuyasha nodded. "So I came to a decision," he said. "And I hope it'll be good for the both of us and Jade, too."

Kagome said nothing.

Inuyasha took a deep breath. "Friends?" he breathed out.

It took a moment for Kagome to realize she wasn't dreaming. She smiled. "Friends," she breathed out.

The whole ride was quiet. They couldn't decide if it was comfortable or not but one thing they know is that they can start over again.

Kagome smiled as she felt Inuyasha lay his head on top of hers causing her to bury her head closer to his neck. He didn't let go of her hand not that she was complaining or anything.

Her face softened and she closed her eyes as she silently inhaled his sweet scent of his cologne. She fought an urge to gasp as she realized it was the same cologne he used to wear when they used to go out. The same one she bought for him as a gift because it was her favorite cologne.

'Just friends,' she thought sadly. 'Anything to be close to you again.'

Woah! Fast update! At least they're not in that hating thing relationship.
