Chapter 10:Ex- girlfriend?
The sound of the alarm clock filled the room. Kagome rolled over and pressed the snooze button. The clock read 12:56.
"What day is it?"
"Monday July third."
She turned to the unknown voice. Sesshomaru was leaning on her door frame.
"Oh, good morning."
He just nodded and walked off. Kagome shrugged and slid out of bed. After the morning necessities, she headed down to the kitchen. But to her surprise there wasn't anyone there, brushing off the thought she opened the fridge.
"They went out to eat around ten thirty."
Kagome turned to Kagura.
"They left?"
"Yep, they took Rin too. I stayed so you wouldn't be alone when you woke up."
"Ok, but why is Sesshomaru here?"
"He stayed with me."
She nodded.
'Inuyasha didn't stay?'
"Sango and Miroku had to drag Inuyasha out the house."
Kagome smiled.
"He wanted to stay?"
"Yea, he was half sleep anyway."
"When will they be back?"
Kagura shrugged.
"I heard Sango talking about the mall so im not sure."
"The mall for what?"
"Fireworks of course!"
"Fireworks?"
"Hello, fourth of July is tomorrow."
Kagome nodded. A silence fell over the room until the faint sound of screaming and car doors slamming could be heard.
"I said no!"
"Oh come on Inuyasha, it'll be fun."
"No!"
"But you know Kagome will want to go."
"So what I don't care-"
They all froze when they entered the kitchen and came face to face with Kagome and Kagura.
"Don't care about what?"
Kagome placed her hands on her hips and glared at Inuyasha. She knew he was going to say he didn't care about something regarding her.
"N-nothing, it was stupid."
Looking past him she reverted her glare to Sango.
"Well Sango?"
"There's a fourth of July festival, with a parade and everything. We were trying to get Inuyasha to agree to go."
"Who cares if he goes, it'll just be me and you guys."
"Well I already bought the tickets. Nonrefundable tickets!"
Kagome looked back at Inuyasha.
"He'll go."
She walked past them and Inuyasha spun around.
"Says who?"
"Says me."
"Oh please like I'll listen to you!"
She nodded and continued up the stairs. Confused, Sango followed her.
"Kagome, how are you gonna get him to come?"
"Don't worry, he'll be there. Trust me."
"But how?"
"I'll get him to change his mind."
"I hope your don't mean what I think you mean."
They stared at each other and Sango rose an eyebrow. Kagome eyes widened.
"Oh you mean- no no no! Im just gonna ignore him till he breaks down! Not …that other thing."
Sango laughed.
"I hope not."
With that disturbing statement, Kagome stood at her door way waiting for Inuyasha to pass, and just as she thought he came right up to her.
"What the hell was all that down stairs? I don't care what you say, im not going to some dumb festival with you or anybody!"
"You don't want to go with me?"
Kagome put on a sad face.
"Oh no that's not gonna work, not this time!"
"B-but, I thought you would go with me."
She put her head in her hands and cried.
"Whoa whoa, I didn't mean- you shouldn't- wait don't-"
Inuyasha sighed.
"I'll go."
Kagome picked p her head slightly.
"Really?"
He nodded.
"No stop all the water works."
She nodded and walked into her room.
"Ha, worked like a charm."
So Inuyasha ended up going along against his will. Sango and the other girls thought it would be fun to dress in kimonos and olden days clothes, they managed to get Miroku in some monk robes but Inuyasha was not going for it.
"He's in a dress! Im not putting on a dress!"
"Its not a dress its robes!"
Inuyasha and the girls yelled back and forth in a pointless argument.
"He looks nice though, who knows it might look good on you."
"You think id look good in a dress?"
"For the last time! Its not a dress!."
Kagome sighed.
"You know if you want we can find you something else."
"Yea, something that's not a dress!"
They ran around in and out of stores, but Inuyasha wouldn't wear any of it. Until they reached one more store.
"Im not coming out."
"Oh come on Inuyasha, it cant be that bad."
"I said I aint coming out!"
"Oh quit being a baby!"
Kagome ripped the curtain open. Inuyasha was dressed on a pair of baggy red pants and a white shirt with a red jacket over it. (His clothes in the show ^.^) Kagome smiled.
"You look fine."
"Im not wearing it!"
"Oh yea you are! We went running around for you and we finally fine something that looks nice and you complain?"
"I didn't ask you guys to go running around. I don't even want to go."
Miroku stepped in.
"Um Inuyasha, maybe you should just wear it."
"No way!"
"But its for them."
"Is it worth wearing that dress?"
"There monk robes- you know what, just buy the clothes and lets go, its at six so lets not be late."
Everyone proceeded to the cash register, except for Inuyasha and Kagome.
"You heard them, change you clothes and lets go."
She push him into the dressing room.
"I said I aint wearing this!"
"Yea yea, we heard you."
She closed the curtain. Aside from all his fussing, they bought the outfit and headed home to change. Once changed they drove off in the direction of the festival.
"Ok so what do we do now?"
"Well, what ever we want I guess."
"This is so dumb!"
"Oh stop barking Inuyasha."
Inuyasha opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Sango.
"Why don't we play some games and try to win a stuffed animal?"
"That's dumb."
"Come on Sango I'll win you one."
Miroku walked over the a game where you spray the clowns mouth until the balloon pops.
"Come on Inuyasha, verse me."
Inuyasha sighed and walked over to them. Miroku won twice in a row and Inuyasha insisted it was luck.
"Hey guys the sumo show is starting, come on!"
Kagome ran off into the crowd with her friends close behind.
"Ha there's no way that little guy is gonna take the big one down!"
"Wanna bet?"
Inuyasha nodded.
"Hmm, ok loser has to buy everyone dinner, deal?"
"Your on."
Inuyasha and Kagome continued to watch the fight. Later they were all sitting in a ramen shop.
"Man I cant believe the little guy won."
"Done under estimate little people."
"Yea cause then you spend all your money on your greedy friends"
They all laughed.
"Inuyasha?"
They all turned to the beautiful girl beside them, she wore a knee length Japanese style dress and her hair was very long and flowing.
"Kikyo? Is that you?"
Kagome froze for a second.
'Did he say Kikyo? is that the girl from the photo?'
"Oh my god, hi!"
Inuyasha stood and the girl threw her arms around his neck. Not moving very far away she parted just enough to look him in the eye.
"I've missed you so much."
"O-o well um-"
"Go on Inuyasha im sure you missed her as well!"
They all looked over at a very angry Kagome. She stood.
"Now, Kikyo was it? You may sit here. Im sure your company is more wanted."
"Ka-"
"No wait!"
Kagome turned to Kikyo.
"I was just leaving, I was going to watch the parade, you guys should come along. I'll be at the food stands, that's the best view. Ok see ya."
With that Kikyo walked off.
"Why were you leaving?"
"Oh please it was clear that you wanted her here."
"What the hell! Hello didn't you see, she hugged me or are you that blind!"
"I didn't see you in rush to push her away even when your girlfriend was right there!"
"You cant be serious!"
"Wanna bet!"
Kagome turned and stormed out of the shop. Inuyasha looked over at Sango and Miroku.
"Can you believe her!"
Inuyasha sat back down.
"You wanna know what I cant believe?"
Miroku finished his food before speaking again.
"I cant believe your sitting here like an idiot."
"What?"
Sango cut in.
"Inuyasha you dummy, go find her!"
"Why should I?"
"First off, she had a point you didn't push that girl away, you didn't even attempt to. Second knowing kagome she's probably off some where crying. Third, its late and who knows what weirdo's walk around looking for poor defenseless girls, plus its your job as a man to go apologize. In a relationship, she's always right."
"What that's not fair."
Miroku shook his head.
"It doesn't matter."
"But what if she's wrong?"
"It doesn't matter."
"That's dumb!"
"Inuyasha, it doesn't matter."
Inuyasha sighed in defeat
"Fine I'll go find her."
Inuyasha headed for the door.
"We make a good team."
Sango smiled and nodded.
"Together we can get Inuyasha to do anything!"
Inuyasha was walking around looking for Kagome, but he came across what made her mad at him in the first place.
"Inuyasha you came!"
Kikyo ran up to him.
"I knew you would come."
She latched herself on his arm.
"Look Kikyo, I have to do something."
He tried to push her off, but her grip was tight.
"I'll go with you."
"Well Kikyo you see, I cant take you with me."
"What, don't be silly, of course you can."
"No see-"
"Oh come on lets go-"
"Kikyo!"
She froze and Inuyasha sighed.
"Your what got me in trouble in the first place, so place. So please leave me alone."
"I done understand."
"You remember the girl who was about to leave when you came in?"
"Yea what about her?"
"She's my girlfriend."
"What no way! You told me you couldn't call a girl your girlfriend."
"Well-"
"And you said that if there was a girlfriend in your life, it would be me!"
"Kikyo look, I know its not nice, but I was lying to you!"
"Wha-what?"
"Im very sorry, but I have to find Kagome. So if would excuse me."
Kikyo gave him a heartbroken look and spun around, she shot Kagome, who was right behind her, a death stare.
"If you think Inuyasha is all yours think again!" she turned to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, im not giving up on you just because you claim this girl is your girlfriend. I'll be back for you."
She placed a kiss on his cheek and walked away. Inuyasha looked at Kagome and smiled. She placed her hands on her hips.
"Well?"
"Im sorry."
Kagome eyes widened.
"What? isn't that what you wanted me to say?"
"Well yea, but I didn't think you were going to say it with out a fight."
"Geez, im not that ignorant."
Kagome laughed and took his hand.
"Come on we are missing the parade!"
She dragged him over to the street and watched all the huge colorful floats go by. Then they met up wit Sango and Miroku and headed for the car.
"Hey look!"
Sango pointed to the fireworks going off above them.
"Wow, this is so cool, aren't you glad you came Inuyasha?…Inuyasha?"
Kagome turned and saw Inuyasha still heading for the car. She ran up to him.
"What are you doing?"
"Going home."
"Oh your no fun."
Inuyasha stopped.
"What? I am so fun!"
"Yea, the prove it!"
"How?"
"Say cheese!"
Kagome snapped a picture of her and Inuyasha. She was smiling and he looked confused.
"Hey that's no fair I wasn't ready! Take another."
Kagome laughed and snapped a more pictures but in all of them he wasn't ready.
"Wait I still wasn't ready!"
"Your never ready!"
"Oh come on take another."
"No!"
"Kagome!"
