Chap. 13: Stealing Clothes and Arguing

last time

"Well I guess I owe him a thanks then," Miroku said putting his arm around Sango's waist.

"Yeah," she said leaning in towards him, "I guess you do."

now

InuYasha couldn't believe Kagome had been acting the night before.

Flashback

"What do you mean I'll be sleeping with you tonight?" she asked incredulously.

"I don't really have a bed in the other two 'bedrooms'" he said lamely. "It's either sleep in my bed with me, or sleep on the floor."

"Or you could sleep on the floor?" she said pointlessly.

"Doubtful," he retorted as he walked up to his room. "Besides, how often do I get to say I got to sleep with you?"

Kagome laughed, he's been in this era too long. She thought to herself as she walked up the stairs after him.

"I'm just saying this," she told him as she followed him into the room, "If you do anything that I said no to, I will hurt you. BADLY."

InuYasha pretended to cower in fear, but it didn't work, because as the woman advanced on him he put on a sad face.

"You know," he said. "I've got the feeling that you have something tricky up your sleeve."

"Your right," Kagome said pushing InuYasha into the room he just opened, "But wouldn't you like to find out what really went on inside my mind?" she said grinning as she closed the door with a flick of her foot.

What the hell is she doing? he thought to himself as Kagome continued to walk closer to him.

"Kagome?" he said slowly, "what are you doing?"

Smiling the woman just walked a little closer to him, "I don't know what your talking about InuYasha," she said innocently as she started to play with the buttons on his shirt.

"You did say something about sleeping with me did you not?"

He didn't like the look on her face.

"Kagome…" but he didn't get to finish his sentence because as he did Kagome pushed him onto the bed and started kissing him.

He's like a child, she thought to herself, just a little encouragement and he's eating out of the palm of my hand. But I guess all fun should end soon so that I can really get to him.

 she thought to herself,

And as if nothing had happened Kagome hopped off the bed and went downstairs taking all of InuYasha's pillow's with her.

End Flashback

"She had to have been taken over by something," he mused to himself as he stood up and attempted to pop his back. Sleeping on a couch didn't agree with InuYasha, especially when Kagome tricked him out of his bedroom so that she could have it.

"InuYasha," he heard her call. But it wasn't from the bedroom.

"What?" he asked as he started walking towards the stairs.

"Where are your towels?"

"In the cabinet by the bathroom," he told her as he ascended the stairs only to find Kagome dripping wet in "MY SHIRT!"

She looked as if nothing else was to faze her and smiled.

"Yeah," she said, "I don't have any clean clothes, and I needed a shower. Hope you don't mind."

"No point in bitching now I guess," he grumbled as he went into his room.

Kagome laughed and followed him as she ran the towel through her hair. She never fully understood that even after as long her and InuYasha worked together to defeat Naraku he always acted like he couldn't trust her. I wonder what's making me think of this? she questioned herself as she pulled on the pants she wore the night before. If I still wanted InuYasha in that way I would've done something, but there is something about James (the boy from school) that makes him different from Kouga but so much the same. It's actually really appealing. After the stunt that Jose pulled she was almost scared to go for something she didn't know. But then again, InuYasha only ever seemed to worry about her whenever Kouga was around or when she was hurt. Maybe I should go out with James just once and see what he's like.

"What are you thinking about?" InuYasha asked, "you're too into your own mind. It's kinda odd… actually it's kinda creepy."

Kagome laughed, "It's nothing, I just gotta get back to the house and grab my stuff. I have studying for school tomorrow."

For once InuYasha didn't complain about her studies like he used to in the feudal era, but then again he was too going to school now.

"Okay, I'll take you back to your apartment," he said standing.

"Thanks," she said softly as she too stood to leave.

20 minutes later

InuYasha pulled his car up to Kagome's apartment building and completely turned off the engine.

"Kagome," he started but didn't get the chance because out of nowhere his ex (Sasha) came rushing out of the building with a look of absolute rage on her face.

"INUYASHA!" she screamed at the man, "YOU BREAK UP WITH ME JUST LAST NIGHT AND YOU'VE ALREADY GOTTEN BACK TOGETHER WITH THAT WITCH?!?!"

"Excuse me?" Kagome said getting out of the car. "I don't even know you, you shouldn't bring people into your own delusions. We are not together."

"Really," the other woman said, "then why are there bite marks on your neck that weren't there last night at the club?"

Kagome didn't have anything to say about that, actually now that she thought about it, she hadn't even noticed the marks when she got into the shower. And they weren't there last night when I went to sleep.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome bellowed at the half demon, who actually seemed more scared of her yelling than he did Sasha's.

"Why are you yelling at him?" the other woman asked, "you clearly slept together or you wouldn't be wearing his clothes or coming from his house."

"You following us," InuYasha said in a manner that almost sounded like a question.

"I watched her leave the club with you last night after you kicked me out. I didn't follow you anywhere, mainly because you were my ride to the club and my asshole ex ditched me the second you made us leave."

Kagome didn't care to listen to them bicker, so she rounded on InuYasha some more.

"I WAS ASLEEP!" she screamed at him, "YOU WENT IN THERE AND MESSED WITH ME IN MY SLEEP?!?!"

"Well, I had gone in there to grab some clothes to sleep in, and well… I couldn't help myself," he said quietly, "especially with the way you tortured me earlier. It was payback."

"PAYBACK MY ASS!" she screamed, "I TEASED YOU TO GET YOU TO FOLLOW ME DOWNSTAIRS! YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE GODDAMNED MARKS ON ME IN MY SLEEP!"

"WHY THE HELL NOT?" InuYasha yelled back, "YOU MESSED WITH ME SO I MESSED WITH YOU!"

Sasha grew tired of watching them fight and decided that she was done and left.

Five minutes later

InuYasha and Kagome were still fighting, but by this time they had drawn a crowd. Not really paying attention the two continued to bicker until Sango came out of the building yelling.

"YOU SEE EACHOTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER AND ALL YOU DO IS YELL? IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO THAT THEN GO INTO THE DAMNED APARTMENT!"

Kagome and InuYasha listened to Sango and almost laughed when half the people who were watching them had confused looks on their faces. It seemed that the arguing couple only understood Sango's Japanese. Kagome suspected someone would understand, but it turned out that no one did. (a.n. I've been in this situation, only reason I had to put that in.)

A.N. The end should be coming soon. Almost devious sounding. AWESOME! No, seriously, I will be ending this story soon. I hope you've liked what you read.
