Kagome: Hello everyone! Welcome to another late night, early morning, or mid-day editon of the story, depending on what time you read it.
Me: Sucking up won't get you outa this one.
Inuyasha: Ha ha! Sucks to be you!
Me: Hey did you forget? Some one made a suggestion but, it was a way better dog than I was thinking of. So instead, you get to be a little, albino, Japanese Chin.
Inuyasha: WHAT?!?!?!? You gotta be shi- woof woof!!
Me: (picks up Inuyasha) Here you go Kagome, have a ball.
Kagome: Hey, don't think I'll forgive you just because you're giving me a furry... cute... adorable puppy!!!!! Aw, the ears are so soft and fuzzy.
Me: Good, now stop complaining. Anyway, to all the, uh, over 200 people who read my story so far, I'd like to say I'm sorry it took so long to update.
Kaogome: More tests?
Me: (sigh) Yeah, plus I've got mid-terms too.
Kagome: Wow. If that's not much of a bummer then, the fact that out of over 200 people, you only got 7 reviews. Heh heh, that sucks!
Inuyasha: (somehow manages to snicker uncontrollably, in the form of a dog)
Me: (changes Inuyasha back to his original form) Inuyasha, do you really think you're that much better than me?
Inuyasha: Hah, 'cousre I am!
Me: Okay. (throws a frisbee) FETCH!!!!!
Unable to control the dog side of himself, Inuyasha runs after the flying disc only to catch it and hit a brick wall at the same time.
Me: Who's laughing now?!
Kagome: Hah ha... I am!
Me: (chuckles evilly) Not for long... Oh yeah, I don't own Inuyasha or any song that is mentioned in this fan fiction... Damn! Why don't I have talent?
Chapter 4: That's What Happened
knock, knock
Some one was at the door. Inuyasha said the door was open, but the knocking continued.
"I'll get it.", Kagome said, with an annoyed tone in her voice.
She opened the door and was about to say "Hello", but she was cought in a kiss.
It was a drunk, rank and horribly intoxicating kiss... from Kikyo.
She was so hammered, that it took her a couple of moments to realize that Kagome had answered the door. But, it was too late. Kikyo was literally an intoxicating odor. Not to mention the fact that Kikyo just frenched Kagome, so it's not shocking to say that Kagome had passed out completely. Although it was hard to tell because her eyes were wide open and she'd stood perfectly still.
"Oh god, Kagoomee-hic- I knew you were eashy, but the other shide of the fencesh was a big sur-", Kikyo had stopped her drunken idiot icy because she was going to puke due to the amount of liquor she drank. She finally let go of Kagome's head and made a mad dash for the restroom. Kagome, fell to the floor.
At first, Inuyasha was trying real hard not to laugh, but when his friend hit the floor like a sack of potatoes, he instantly panicked.
"Kagome, are you al-", as Inuyasha ran to his friend, the air seemed to have become heavy and smelled like alcohol poison, even death.
"Aw shit that smells!", he exclaimed. He then took a deep breath and picked Kagome's limp body off the floor and laid her down on the couch. Inuyasha had to smile at the fact that, even though he was kidding, Kagome really didn't take up a lot of space on the couch.
To begin with Kagome was always never able to handle liquor. A sip or two of alcohol and she'd be the life of the party, anywhere. Inuyasha knew this and thought to himself "Geez... she's crazy when she's a little tipsy. Man, with that dose, she'll drive me into an institute! Hmm, guess I better hide until the stuff wears off". He quietly walked out the room and no sooner had he closed the door Kagome came to.
With his supurb hearing, Inuyasha heard Kagome get up, walk over to the karaoke machine and start to party hardy. Every now and then he'd have to stop some one from going in, or from knocking on the door, just to be on the safe side. This went on for about two and a half hours and then the music stopped. Inuyasha heard another thud and ran into the room. Kagome was on the floor.
"Kagome!! Kagome are you alri", he was cut off by surprise.
Kagome sat up with a smile on her face, but upon seeing inuyasha next to her, she bawlled her eyes out for a minute. As suddenly as she had gotten up, Kagome had passed out again. She was indeed a strange drunk.
Fifteen minutes later
Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She was on the couch.
"Oops. I must've been more tired than I thought. Sorry for passing out on you.", she stated apologetically towards Inuyasha. "By the way I remember some one knocking at the door, who was... it..." It snapped like a picture in her head who the person at the door was and what she'd done.
"Heh heh, ooh Inuyashaaa", her voice was that of an evilly, playful laugh.
Y-yeah, wh-what is it?", Inuyasha was, quite frankly, scared shitless.
"GIRLFRIEND OR NOT I'M GONNA KILL KIKYO!", she roared. "If that was your idea of surprising me, well then ya' know what, it worked!", Kagome was more hurt and embarrassed than angry.
"Wait just a sec! I said I had a surprise for you. Kikyo did that of her own free will. Besides, it could've been worse."
"Oh yeah, how?"
"One: You could've died. Two: At least she was conciderate enough to run to the bathroom to puke her guts out instead of when... she... she didn't use tongue did she?", he was teasing her now.
"Shut up! Ow! Aaw, I think I gotta hang over.". She pouted. "Hey, where is Kikyo, anyway? Is she on her way here?"
"Nah, I can't even smell the alcohol she was drinking. My guess is that she's still thowing up."
"Good, now then...", Kagome trailed off.
"Huh?", he said, while putting his head down from sniffing the air.
Kagome had gotten off the couch and walked over to Inuyasha. When he put his head down, he too, was caught in a tender kiss. He would have stopped himself and Kagome would've stopped sooner too, but it just felt way too right to them. They finally stopped when they heard the door opening. Kikyo, finally walked in, the juke box in the club/bar was playing "More Than a Feeling" by Boston.
"Hey! Who the hell put that on?", Inuyasha asked, slightly embarrassed.
"Huh? It's on random...", Kikyo said as she closed the door. "Hey, when did you go human?"
"What? Is it the night of the new moon, already?", he asked then paused, "Kagome, does your head still hurt?"
"Uh... No, now that you mention it."
"Hey, why would her head be hurting?", Kikyo asked in a tone that said she wanted to be the center of attention.
"God... Kikyo" Inuyasha was now speaking in an 'I'm fed up with your shit' kind of tone, "You were way beyond hammered! I mean, shit! How are you still alive and how do you get so drunk in twenty-five minutes that by kissing some one, you knock them out drunk!?"
"He's right. I had a hangover with out even getting a drink tonight!" Kagome added.
"Oh gimme a break. I can't be formal and a goody-two-shoes all the time. That's just for school, mostly. Is it really a crime that I know how to have fun when I go out? What's the big deal?"
"The big deal?", Inuyasha was getting pissed. "I had a suprise for both of you, ya' know.", he calmly stated. Then, Inuyasha went to the karaoke machine and flipped through the song list. He finally stopped on tthe ultimate break up song; Freebird.
He sang it perfectly, not missing, or singing off beat at all. It was obvious he'd been practicing because this was his best performance. Although, the other times when he would sing along, he'd just half-ass-it.
When the extremely long guitar solo came up, Inuyasha put down the mic, walked over to Kagome and picked her up, kind of like a groom would his bride.
"Hey, you should really cover up that mark a lot more than that.", was all Inuyasha had to say to Kikyo before walking out of the club. Kikyo hadn't realized that her secret mate mark was as plain as day, on her neck.
In the parking lot
Inuyasha was walking through the parking lot to the really tall tree at the far end of it. Once there he leaped up, almost to the top of the tree.
"Well, I guess that means I still have my powers."
"What do you mean? Oh, and why do you look human?", Kagome asked in cofusion.
"Well, you see... I don't like telling poeple this because they usually do something stupid behind my back or just don't want to be near me. It kinda makes me feel like shit..."
"Inuyasha...?"
"(sigh) I'm uh... not all demon. I'm a half-breed and I've been thought of as a mistake by many people and demons, too. That's why a lot of people don't like me."
"But I like you! Hell, it's not like there's anything wrong with being a half-breed. I mean look at you. You've got the strength of a demon and the heart of a human. You've got the best qualities of both sides!"
"Thanks... sorry for not telling you sooner, I was actually planning on telling you the next time the moon was gone because that's when I transform into a human.", Inuyasha paused wondering if she noticed what he'd just said and she did.
"But uh... You do know the moon's full tonight, right?"
"Wow, you don't say, never woulda noticed if it weren't for those sharp eyes of yours", he said, in a sarcastic and teasing kind of tone.
"Well, then why do you look human? It's not like your first kiss with a girl does that to you, or something."
"Actually... That's almost right. See, if a half-breed were to kiss some one they loved, whether they knew it or not, it would be able to heal that loved one, or restore their health. Like when you had that hangover."
"Does it drain you power when you do that?"
"Sometimes it takes a little, other times it takes a lot. Good thing that I don't actually lose the demonic power, I sorta lend it out, ya' know?"
"I see... So that means you looove me!", Kagome was teasing him now.
"Yeah well, that's true and all, but I want to know why you were sad when you kissed me? I could feel this really intense sadness under all that joy." he stated.
Kagome looked up at the bright, full moon," I don't really understand it myself."
"You wanna know something strange? I almost lost all my power once."
"What?!"
"Yeah, it was ten years ago. My demonic powers were gone for about a week or two."
"What do you think it meant?"
"I'm wasn't sure at first, but now I think my powers left me to save the some one I'd end up falling in love with. I think it left me to keep you safe during the plane crash."
"Guess you saved my life twice then, huh? Four broken ribs, a broken wrist and a collapsed lung. All that and you never gave up on me. Thanks."
"No problem. Hey, you up for one last round, how about a duet?", Inuasha asked while pulling out his cell phone. He flipped though a few menus and started to look for a song.
"Sure, what'd you have in mind?"
"This.", Inuyasha found the song he was looking for and started playing it. Kagome turned her head and looked into Inuyasha's blue eyes. She could see the moon reflecting in them.
"Stellar, by Incubis. Smooth choice Inuyasha."
"Shall we?"
They sang that song about three times. By the end of the third time Kagome stopped singing and was starting to tear up.
"Inuyasha?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you."
"HMM, I love you, too.", he said as he embraced Kagome and let her sob softly into his chest.
"C'mon, I'll take you home, it's getting cold out."
"Okay, but what about my bike?" she managed to ask in between her sobs.
"Cheer up already! I'll bring you home, get the keys and just ride it back to your place. It's no big deal."
"Um... I'm... I'm sorry. I didn't know you could ride.", Kagome said, trying to stop crying.
"Heh, that's alright. No one does."
So Inuyasha gave Kagome a piggy back ride all the way to her house, which wasn't too far away. They both kissed and said good night.
End of Flashback.
"Kagome, I've never told about how I knew what it meant when my powers weren't all there, right?"
"HMM... I can't say you ever did. Why do you ask?"
"Well, a precious person once told me all that good stuff, but I'd forgotten one thing."
"Can't say I'm too surprised, but the only thing you can barely remember is anything that doesn't really matter, right?"
"I'm part human remember? Last time I heard they still make mistakes.", Inuyasha was trying to be sarcastic, but ended up sounding angry," Anyway, my mom once told me that if I ever fell in love with a human I'd be able to protect her no matter what."
"Yeah, you did that already and look at what happened to you! You're dead!"
"I'm not. Do you remember how often that jewel used to glow while you were in the hospital after that day? That was me! A part of me has been in that jewel ever since."
"You... you've been in there the whole time... and I hardly ever took the damn thing off!", Kagome was embarrassed because she was thinking that Inuyasha was watching her like a peeping tom.
"Look, I've been asleep, recovering my powers. I wasn't looking at you like some perv, thank you very much."
"What are you talking about? That's not what I was thinking!", Kagome was quick to deny.
"We are in your head ya'know? I know exactly what you were thinking 'cause it just flashed behind you. Must say, those were some very detailed mental images there.", now he was teasing her.
"Shut uuup! I won't be able to stop if you keep making fun of me!"
"(sigh) Just like old times, huh?" Inuyasha asked.
Smiling, Kagome replied," Yeah, just like the good old days... So, you wanna tell me how you managed to save me for the third time?"
"I guess you deserve to know so yeah, I'll tell ya."
TO BE CONTINUED
Me: Hey folks! Again, I apologize for taking so long to get this chapter up.
Kagome: Do you like embarrassing me or what?
Me: Hold on. Hey Inuyasha, I got those pics you wanted. They're five bucks a pop.
Inuyasha: Geez man, you really are sneaky and for a cheap price, too!
Kagome: Hey, what are those pictures of?
Me: Oh these? You know those pictures you tried to bribe me with so you wouldn't have to kiss Kikyo? Well, I thought of a better use for them. Kagome, you really are a cash cow, ya'know.
Kagome: (more red than blood) You're doing what?
Me: Actually it was his idea to buy them off me. How embarressed are you now? Guess you were to tough for Inuyasha to get until now, huh?
Kagome: I'M GONNA KILL YOU INUYASHA!!!!
Iunyasha: No, wait! I can explain!!
BAM, CRACK, WHAM!
Me: Hey Kagome, I forgot to mention. My better use was to put those pics up on the inter net, but that love sick puppy over there thought he could save your pride and shame by buying them off me. I think he was gonna give them back to you. Right, Inuyasha?
Iuyasha: (beaten and bloody) Y-yeah. Wish you'd said it s-sooner.
Kagome: Oh no! Inuyasha I'm soo sorry! Are you okay?
Me: Trust me, if I'm hurting just by looking at him, he's not doing so well. Anyway, I hope you guys have enjoyed this chapter. I plan on having everything explained in the next chapter. I also find conflict in a comentary to be fun. If you think it's funny let me know.
Kagome: You're evil!
Me: Thank you! Glad you noticed.
Inuyasha: Call 911!!!!!
