Chapter 23: 900 Word Essay
It was a week until Christmas and Kagome had bought Inuyasha a gift. He had not popped the question if they were boyfriend and girlfriend yet…but it is obvious that they technically are. She walked down the crowded mall. There were many sales on this week. Sango was talking about how much Miroku is a pervert. Rin was always running off to look for the perfect gift for Sesshomaru. Kagome wanted to go back to the school, but she was attracted to the new store that just opened.
"Kagome, where are you going? Were you even listening to me?" Her best friend whined.
"Yeah one minute Sango, I like this store." She responded. Sango gave a sigh in defeat then followed her friend in the store. She had to admit, this store was awesome. It had an even larger sale than any other stores in the mall. "So what's this place called again?" She inquired. Kagome looked back at her friend. "Garage. It's an outlet store." Kagome answered. A woman with brown hair and extensions came up to the two girls. "Do you need any help?" Kagome grinned at the perky woman. "No, just browsing."
"Ok well my name is Lauretta, if you need anything I'll be over there near the cash register." Kagome looked over at the cash register and nodded.
Sango came back with at least ten shirts and pants in her hands. "Ready to try the clothes on, Kagome." There were two dresses that Sango plopped in Kagome's hands and 2 pants and 3 tops. "Wait what are you trying on right now?" Sango looked at Kagome. Sango held up a dress and a pair of black cargos. She nodded then left to find a change room.
"How many items do you have?" One girl asked.
"Seven." Kagome replied after counting the number of clothes.
The girl handed Kagome a doorknob hanger card that had a number seven on it. Then said room number five. When she was in the fitting room, she had tried on everything except for the dresses. One dress was supposed to be for the Christmas party this Saturday. The other dress was supposed to be for the New Year's party that Inuyasha was hosting. She tried on the first dress. It was red silk and had a furry white shawl. The dress was down to her ankles and fit all her curves on her body. The top of the dress was strapless and just showed off some of cleavage. (Not a lot! Perverts! Sheesh!) She smiled then tried the other dress. This dress was blue and went all the way to just above her knees. It had sparkly diamond jewels as a strap. (One strap that goes over your shoulder, not two.) The bottom swayed with her every move. Kagome heard two voices from outside of the fitting rooms. It sounded like, Koga and Miroku.
Sango called Kagome's name in a soft whisper. Kagome asked, "What?" Keep this present that is for Miroku with you. I don't want to risk him finding out who it's for!" Sango slid the present under the door to Kagome then left. She could hear a slap and Koga's laughing in the background. Kagome waited for the two boys to leave so she could get out of the small cubicle room. "Sorry about that!" Sango apologized. "No problem, just don't do it again!" Kagome warned. Sango promised then they walked to the register to pay. "So I heard a slap…what'd he do this time?" Kagome asked intentionally. "He grabbed my ass like usual!" Kagome giggled. "That's a sign that he likes you Sango." Sango thought it over, what if that did mean that he liked her. "No that's probably one of his lecherous tricks again." Kagome shrugged. "You never know with him!"
"That is so true!"
With the Boys
"Hey Inuyasha, what are you getting Kagome?" Miroku asked purposely. The hanyou eyed the monk he had a red handprint on his cheek. "By the looks on your face, you just got slapped by Sango." Inuyasha stated. The monk put his hands up in defense. "It's the hands; they want me to- Inuyasha held his hands up to his ears, "I don't wanna know!" Miroku shrugged then saw the depressed look on the wolf demon. "What's up with you?" Inuyasha questioned. When he did not answer, Inuyasha took that as a sign that he was still upset about that moment in the gymnasium with Kagome. "Look, if this is still about that time when- He didn't get to finish when he was interrupted by Rin. "Hey, have you seen Sango and Kagome?"
They looked at each other and shrugged. "I need an answer! They have my clothes that I bought. Miroku stood up from his seat. "They're in that new store Garage. That's the last time I have seen Sango." Rin was off before he could end the sentence.
"That was, weird." Inuyasha added. They nodded in agreement.
The Girls
"Hey look who's finally came back after ditching us." Sango purposely said.
"Okay, I did not ditch you two. You ditched me." Rin proudly declared.
"As if! Ditching is leaving with out us knowing." Kagome argued. Rin contemplated that for a minute. She technically did ditch them if you put it that way. Well for me ditching is running away from the person…when they…don't know." She fibbed. "That's basically the same thing Kagome said!" Sango complained. "Look we could do this the childish way or the mature and grown up way.
…few seconds later…
"ONE, TWO, THREE!" They shouted in unison. The girls were playing rock paper scissors out of three. If Sango won, Rin would have to buy a coffee for her. If Rin won then Kagome and Sango would buy her a coffee and donuts. If Kagome won, then she would have to make-out with Sesshomaru at the end of the day. Sango had rock, Kagome had rock and Rin had paper.
"1 for me zeros for you two." Rin boasted. "ONE, TWO, THREE!"
Rin had scissors, Kagome had rock and Sango had rock. Rin frowned. "I guess that's 1 all.
"ONE, TWO, THREE!" Kagome won! She had rock and the two had scissors. "Number one rule girls, stick with rock!"
"Rin that means you have to make out with Sesshy today!" Sango teased.
She blushed at the thought of her kissing Sesshy. 'Fluffy…'
"Rin…earth to Rin…" Kagome snapped her fingers infront off the zoned out girl.
"Huh?" She asked looking at Kagome confused.
"You just zoned out there."
"Oh. Sorry."
8:30p.m: When Did Time Go By So Fast
They all met up with each other at 8:30. "So when does she have to kiss him?" Inuyasha asked the girl. "In twenty minutes." Kagome replied instantly. He embraced her in his arms. She blushed lightly and turned around towards him. "So did you get me anything for Christmas?" She asked. Inuyasha looked down at her he was going to say no when he decided to think of a good Christmas present to give her. "Actually, this is part of your Christmas present and I think its pretty obvious right now, but. I- Kagome do you want to go out?" Her heart skipped a beat. She smiled. "Yes."
"Inuyasha…I love you!"
"I love you too!"
Koga watched this from a distance he growled. He paced back and forth. Miroku smiled at the now couple. "It's about time!" Koga looked back at his friend infuriated. "What did you say?"
"I meant it's time for Rin to kiss Sesshomaru." Miroku fibbed. Koga growled again.
Rin fidgeted with her fingers, what if he rejects her, what kind of reaction would he have?
"Nervous?" A voice asked.
Rin spun around to see Kagome leaning up against a wall. She gulped than answered, "N-nope…not-t-t at all!
"Sure just remember more than five seconds, and with tongue!" Sango whispered in her left ear.
KISSING TIME
Rin looked from behind a plant. Sesshomaru was walking out of a store. "This is it Rin." Kagome pushed her out of hiding and out where Sesshomaru could sense her. Rin's scent caught his nose and he turned around to meet a girl kissing him. He broke the kiss. "Rin…" She looked away from his eye contact. "Sesshomaru I have to tell you something." Her golden-brown eyes starred into his amber ones. "I love you." He was shocked. He never expected this to happen. "I understand if you don't feel the same-She stopped her sentence when Sesshomaru put his finger over her mouth. "Rin, I love you too." He leaned down to kiss her. She leaned into the kiss asking for entrance, he opened his mouth then they both started to have a tongue fight. He tasted every bit of her mouth. They broke the kiss when they needed air.
He smiled down at her. Together they walked down the mall hand in hand. (I know that might have been cheesy…but oh well. Get over it!) Kagome was wide eyed. She never expected her to confess or anything. Inuyasha and the others were just as surprised as well. "Maybe I should start a job for matchmaking." Kagome sighed. Sango rolled her eyes, "What, for humiliating us in public? I think you should stick with music and drama!" Kagome lightly punched her friends arm. "Fine, for your sake I will."
Inuyasha wrapped his arms around his girlfriend's waist. Breathing in her scent, he loved it. Roses. "Mmm…roses." Kagome turned around. "Roses?" He snapped out of his trance, "Yeah, you smell like roses." She smiled, "really?"
"What do you smell like?" Kagome took a whiff of his scent. (Back to being a half demon. Since she is half demon anyways.) "Vanilla."
"Vanilla? I always thought I smelled like axe." He replied.
"Keep dreaming." Kagome laughed.
"Oh I will."
They joined in a kiss. After, when everyone had left the mall the three couples roamed the empty halls with everyone except Koga, who left early to finish a report for Anatomy. They talked to each in mushy talk. "Rin stop calling me that!" Sesshomaru growled.
"Aw, come on Fluffy you know that you love the new nickname I gave you!" Rin giggled.
"Inuyasha, I know you told her! Sesshomaru yelled.
Inuyasha smirked mischievously. "So what if I did?"
"Then I'll punch your face in so you won't be able to speak! You are lucky that you're my brother, dumb ass!"
Inuyasha gulped.
"Aw, would you look at that, brotherly love!" Kagome giggled.
Everyone laughed except for the two brothers who thought that was criticizing! "That's it Inuyasha your dead!" Sesshomaru yelled.
Inuyasha bolted for the mall doors. "Why kill me when I Kagome said that?"
"I don't care who said it! All I know is that I'm going to strangle you!"
"Oh, that's if you can catch me." Inuyasha snickered.
"You know this reminds me of whack a mole." Kagome laughed with Sango.
"I wonder how long they are going to fight like this." Miroku said.
"Gooooo… Fluffy!" Rin cheered.
"Goooo….Pooky!" Kagome cheered.
"That's it!" The two brothers charged for the girls.
"I think this would be a good time to run away." Rin slowly backed away. "I'm with you there!" Kagome screamed while trying to bolt for the doors.
"Oh, no you don't!" Sesshomaru picked up Rin over his shoulder and went back to the group. Inuyasha on the other hand was still chasing Kagome.
"Ha…come on pooky, is that all you've got?" Kagome teased.
"I told you never to say that in public!" He growled.
"Since when did you say that? All I heard from you was a growl." Inuyasha 'feh'ed in response. Then as soon as they reached a dead end in the mall, Kagome started to panic. 'There's no exit!' He stepped closer to her. "Are you scared Kagome?" Kagome looked for a way to escape but there were no exits, not even a fire exit! 'Come on…wait there's a fake tree plant there and the second story is just a couple of metres away from the tree. So if I just take off on the mid section of the tree, I should be able to make it onto the second floor.' Kagome looked at Inuyasha. "Okay, I give up!" Inuyasha smirked as he walked towards her again. "It's about time. I was starting to think that you were going to try and jump over me." He said. Kagome laughed. "Really…" This was her chance now. She took off dashed for the plant; Inuyasha did not notice the plant there before. He went after her again, not realizing there was a security officer right there. After she landed on the second floor, she noticed that Inuyasha was just about to pounce off the tree when she heard. "You there, stop!" The security officer shouted. Inuyasha looked back at the officer. Once he landed on shiny flooring, he took chances and decided to run away in the same direction Kagome went. The officer yelled again, "Stop!" Kagome kept running. If the cops caught her, she would never hear the end of it! Inuyasha was thinking the same thing. His brother would probably tell it to his friends then the whole school would know!
Just as Kagome thought the cop was gone, Inuyasha comes running and tells her to keep running. That is when they see another cop infront of them. "Oh no the cop behind us must have called back up!" Kagome looked for a way out. She saw an escape route sign on one of the doors. "Inuyasha follow me!" Kagome whispered. He looked at her then followed. When they reached the door, both of them looked down from the stair railing. "That's a lot of stairs!" Kagome gulped. "Come on before they call back up again!" Inuyasha said. Kagome nodded. They jumped down ever set of stairs. Every time they pass signs that said where they were going, they would look at each other then keep going. Kagome stopped pulling Inuyasha back with her. "We're in the forth underground parking lot! Where did you park?" Kagome asked. "Fifth." He simply said. "I parked on fourth."
"I'll stay where you can meet me. When you drive up to D18, take a left that's where I'm going to be." She explained. He nodded. "Kagome," His girlfriend looked back. "Be careful." She lightly smiled up at him. "I will don't worry."
They separated and went their own ways to their cars. Once Inuyasha made it to the fifth level, he called Kagome on his cell phone. No answer, there was no signal in the underground parking. Inuyasha sighed, "Feh should've known that there wasn't going to be a signal." The hanyou aimed the car keys to where his car is and unlocked the car. He got in then started the engine.
Kagome was in her new red Chevy Cobalt SS and waiting for her boyfriend. "Five minutes and he's still not here. Where is Inuyasha?" She asked herself. As soon as she said his name, there he appeared in his car. She smiled softly. She glanced in her side view mirrors. There was a cop coming out from the stairwells. Kagome pressed on the gas; while Inuyasha looked back as well, he sped up behind Kagome. The cop ran after them trying to see the license plate on the two cars. He saw the two cars go around a corner he sprinted as fast as he could, but fell on a speed bump! When he got up, the two cars were gone.
Kagome screamed for joy. Both of them were out of the parking lot and just outside the mall, when they saw their friends in their car they honked at them to get moving and stop wasting time. Miroku was driving, which meant 'Mr. Safety' was not going to go anywhere without stopping at the stop sign first. Inuyasha yelled. "There's no one here except us idiot!" Miroku took a minute and laughed, "Oh yeah!"
Sesshomaru beeped his car horn at Miroku. Miroku snapped out of it and drove off back to the school. Then Sesshomaru, Kagome, Sango and Inuyasha went. Right when they reached the school they went to Kagome's dorm and talked about how Inuyasha and Kagome almost but did not get caught.
Time to Do Essay
Kagome sat with Inuyasha in his dorm. They both sat there with the text books in there laps. "What page are you on?"
"Page, 130. You?" Kagome smiled.
"135."
"You're beating me!" Kagome whined.
"Well if you keep procrastinating then you won't be able to catch up with me." Inuyasha said.
…two minutes later…
"What page are you on?" She asked again.
"138."
…another two minutes later…
"What page are you on?"
"Kagome, would you stop asking me that question!" Inuyasha glared at her.
"Fine."
The couple finished reading up to the chapter that they were assigned to. "This George guy is a real dumb ass!" Kagome put the textbook back in her bag and leaned back against the chair. "Yeah, he made a song about the girl he loved then threw out all the songs after because he didn't like his girlfriend's new hairdo. After that, he charged the girl for harassment. She called him just to see why he dumped her! In the book, they describe the girl's hair as dyed pink and puffy. I would not dump the girl for that! I would get someone to tell her that her hair looks like an Easter egg. Kagome giggled. "Would you do that to me?"
"No. I would tell you myself!" Inuyasha kissed his girlfriend on the cheek.
"It also says that before he asked her to be his girlfriend, he had to quit his job, move closer to her, buy a cheaper car, rent an apartment, pay off his debt to his poker buddy and try to get a new job in one day.
(There is a lot more to the story that I made up, but it is hard to explain some things. I tried but it did not make any sense.)
"Now all we have to do…" She frowned. "Is type a 1000 word summary on the story, and complete the questions that are in the book."
It was 8:00 when both of them finished typing their essay and they started at 5:30. Inuyasha threw his bag in his room while Kagome tried to figure out a way to fit some other words to get at least 900 words.
She closed up her laptop after saving her work. "Finally I'm done. I cannot believe its 8:10! We have been working on this for three hours." Inuyasha watched as his girlfriend closed her eyes from the tiring day. Then all of a sudden, she fell asleep. He smiled and got a blanket from his room to cover her up in. She opened her eyes when she felt something fuzzy and warm drape over her body. She smiled, "thanks."
"No prob." He then kissed her sweetly on the forehead. "Where are you going to sleep there's no more couches." She asked.
"That's alright I can sleep on the floor." He smiled.
"No, go sleep in your room. I'll be okay down here!" Kagome reassured him.
"You're sure?" He asked.
"Yes, I'm sure." Kagome smiled.
"Kay, night." He smiled back.
"Night."
During the night, Kagome could hear the wind blowing furiously outside. She shivered thinking about it. Kagome couldn't get to sleep. She walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water. When she opened the cupboard, the door squeaked she squinted from the sound. "Now I know why Inuyasha gets annoyed when every time I squeaked my heels on the floor when they are wet." She whispered. She quickly got a glass then closed the door. She filled the glass with water then began to drink it! Kagome set the glass down on the counter and stood there for a minute. Unexpectedly, an arm wraps around her waist. She breathes in the scent she loves so much and turns around to face him. He was just about to say something but was cut short when she tenderly kissed his lips. He returned the gesture and this time he asked for entrance. She opened her mouth then began to play with their tongues. She laughed when she stole his gum that he had been chewing on. They broke apart for air. Inuyasha smirked. He tickled her so she would give it back but she didn't give up. After chasing each other around his dorm she laid there pinned to the ground with Inuyasha pinning her down so she couldn't move. "Gottcha, this time, Kag!" He teased. She smiled. When she felt him loosen his grip, she made her move then pinned him to the floor.
"Remember. Never let your guard down!" She grinned. He laughed at that.
"Yeah, yeah we'll see about that." Inuyasha smirked at her.
"What are you going to do?" She asked warily.
"You're just about to find out." He smiled playfully then grabbed onto her arms. She was lifted off of him and carried bridal style as he went to the couch. "Rule number one, pin someone down near the wrists not the upper half of the arm." She looked at him sheepishly. "Woops."
"Woops is right!" He replied.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
She sat in her boyfriend's lap when she couldn't fight to keep her eyes open any longer; she fell asleep.
He kissed her again on the forehead before he fell asleep as well.
(A/N: How was that for a very long chapter? I hope you liked it! OOOO…RIN&SESSHY got it going on! Now, what about Miroku and Sango…? See you all in the next Chappie!)
