Hey guys :D Thanks for reviewing!
And GammaDancer I enabled the anonymous reviews, I didn't even know it was like that lol I'm just experimenting right now with my writing, I have wrote things before though Thank you
Avia Rose- Yeah some things are going to be a little out of character for this story to work sorry I'm not trying to make Inuyasha physically violent or anything he just doesn't think when he gets mad and of course doesn't realize his own strength sometimes, thanks for the compliment!
Oh by the way guys, Kagome is going to loosen up eventually, so don't worry she won't be angry and stuff all the time. Just thought I would clear that up
Well here is the next chapter, hope you like it
Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha.
Golden eyes cracked open slightly, then instantly snapped closed again, from the light that had just assaulted his eyes.
'Why is it so damn bright in here?' Inuyasha thought to himself, as he opened his eyes again. Being part-demon his eyes adjusted quickly. He scanned the huge room and his eyes landed on the culprit. He had forgotten to pull the curtains from the balcony closed last night. Inuyasha groaned and rolled over, slamming a pillow over his head.
He had left the party early last night, not really wanting to be there. He had left about 10:30 and got to Kagome's about twenty minutes later. Kagome's mansion was a four story tan, stone looking structure. High matching stone walls were around the property connected by a huge black gate. The driveway was long and wide that rounded up by the front of the mansion so you didn't have to turn around, and a white beautiful fountain piece sat in the very middle of the circle of the driveway. Inuyasha didn't see Kagome at all when he got there. Some butler let him in and told him where his room was.
Growling in defeat he slung the pillow over off to the side of the king sized bed. His room was done in a deep red and gold. Weird how he got a room with his favorite color, but hey he wasn't complaining at least it wasn't like yellow or something. Not that it would really matter he would have just demanded to change rooms.
Inuyasha got out of his silky bed and stretched, scratching his well-toned stomach, with a yawn. He took a quick shower, in the bathroom that was in his room, and then brushed his teeth. He dressed in a pair of khaki shorts and a white beater, slipped on some socks and put on a pair of white running shoes. He didn't really have all his clothes yet, just a few outfits until Miroku shipped his clothes over. Inuyasha brushed out his long silky hair, cursing Miroku for not letting him bring his hairstylist. Inuyasha didn't dare try to blow dry it, not that he even had a hair dryer, because the last time he tried... well let's just say he earned quite a few 'poodle' comments from his family and Miroku…
Inuyasha waltzed out of his room and down the hallway, and down a flight of stairs. He was in the front room now, where a huge flat screen TV was mounted on the wall and a white long couch sat with light blue pillows. The carpet was white and the walls were a light blue. Inuyasha sniffed the air and followed the scent of food, leading him to a large kitchen. He stopped just outside the doorway, as people in the kitchen were talking.
"Is she okay Kaede?" A young female voice asked worriedly.
"Aye child she is fine for now. It wasn't really that bad this time," an old woman's voice assured. Inuyasha heard the sigh of relief coming from the girl. He heard small clanking noises, indicating that someone was making something, but he didn't smell anything.
'Who are they talking about? What does she mean 'for now'?' Inuyasha wondered.
They stopped talking so he decided that he might as well go in, after all he was starving! The brown haired girl and the old woman looked up at him in surprise. The girl was dressed in a pair of jean capris and a pink spaghetti strap tank top and a pair of black running shoes on. The older woman had really long grey hair and an eye patch over one of her eyes. She was wearing a simple light blue cotton shirt and that was all he could see of her really. The girl was sitting down in a chair at the island and the old woman was standing in front of her, on the other side of the island. She had a tray sitting in front of her with a cup of, what looked like, steaming tea.
'That's weird I don't smell it,' Inuyasha thought eyeing the cup.
"Wow didn't expect you to be up right now," The girl remarked.
"Keh what's that supposed to mean?"
"Aren't models supposed to have like twelve hours of beauty sleep?"
"Keh I'm a half-demon I don't need that much sleep," Inuyasha replied, crossing his arms over his chest, he leaned on the door frame. "Who are you anyway?"
"I'm Sango, Kagome's assistant. And this," Sango indicated toward the old woman, "is Kaede. She is the chief here."
"Hello, you must be Inuyasha," Kaede greeted as she opened a drawer and pulled out a knife. Inuyasha at first thought she was going to stab him or something, but she just placed the knife on the counter top and waddled toward the fridge.
"Chef huh?" Inuyasha observed. "In that case I'm starving. Make me some ramen."
"Ramen?" Sango asked, quirking an eyebrow at him. "Inuyasha its only half past ten. Don't you want breakfast?"
"I always eat ramen," Inuyasha said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Aye Inuyasha I will make ye some, as soon as I give this tray to Kagome," Kaede said, putting some strawberries and other fruit onto the table.
"Where is she anyway?" Inuyasha asked, plopping his self onto a chair, a couple of chairs away from Sango. He propped and elbow up onto the table and placed his chin into his hand. He was bored already.
"In her room," Sango said, "She will be down later."
"Keh not like I really care, the less time I have to spend with her the better," Inuyasha stated, watching Kaede chop up an apple.
"Ye should get to know Kagome," Kaede told him, finishing the apple. "She could be a good friend to ye."
"Keh I don't need any more friends, especially not her."
Sango rolled her eyes, and Kaede just shook her head and finished peeling an orange. She chopped it up too; she also cut up some strawberries. She placed all the cut up fruit, apples, oranges, strawberries, bananas, and some grapes on a plate on the little silver tray. Kaede grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and placed on the tray as well.
"I will be back to make ramen, Inuyasha," Kaede assured him as she lifted the tray and left the kitchen. All of a sudden they heard a scream from outside, Sango and Inuyasha both rushed over to the double glass doors that led outside. Sango started to laugh as she gazed out the door, then pushed it open a crack so she could hear. Inuyasha looked out as well and grinned. A couple of yards away from them two wolf demons were fighting… well the red-head female had the other one in a headlock on the ground.
"Ayame I don't know what you're talking about!" the male choked out.
"Kouga you liar!" Ayame yelled at him. She had a very firm grip around his neck and wasn't looking like she was going to let go anytime soon.
"I never ate your pocky! I didn't say anything about you being fat! Wh-" He was cut off as Ayame shoved a handful of grass and dirt in his mouth. Sango was laughing so hard she had tears running down her face. Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh as well.
'What a wimp! Getting beat up by a woman,' Inuyasha mused.
"Take that you pocky stealer you!" Ayame shouted as she rubbed his face into the ground. With a 'Humph' she got up and stalked away, arms crossed and nose sticking in the air. Kouga just spit out the dirt that was in his mouth and looked at her retreating form, bewildered.
'What the hell is wrong with her? PMS probably…,' Kouga concluded, getting up and dusting himself off.
"That will teach ya!" Sango whispered smugly to herself. Inuyasha gave Sango a confused look, then thinking it was probably better that he didn't know he just shrugged it off.
"Alright Inuyasha I have returned," Kaede said as she entered the kitchen empty handed.
"Well what are you waiting for you old hag? I'm hungry!" Inuyasha growled at her.
"Inuyasha!" Sango gasped whirling on him. "Do not talk to Kaede like that!"
"Keh whatever."
BONK!
"Ow! What the hell was that for?" Inuyasha yelled rubbing the small lump on his head, glaring at Kaede.
"Ye need to learn respect," Kaede told him calmly, lowering the pot that she had just whacked him with.
"Stupid old hag," Inuyasha grumbled as he went to sit down at the island as Kaede went on to make his ramen. Sango was watching with an amused expression when suddenly a voice filtered through the room.
"Sango?" A female voice asked. He recognized that voice as the wolf-demon from a few minutes ago.
Inuyasha pinpointed the voice coming from a small intercom on the wall. Sango went over to it and held a button in as she spoke.
"Yeah what's wrong Ayame?"
"There is some guy here named Miroku."
"Miroku?" Sango wondered. "I don't know a Miroku…"
"That's my agent," Inuyasha informed her. Hey that must mean his clothes and stuff were here!
"Ohhh," Sango said in understanding. "Ayame go ahead and let him in."
"Roger that Sango-chan!"
"Here ye are Inuyasha," Kaede smiled at him as she set the big steaming bowl of ramen down in front of him. Inuyasha instantly started digging in. Sango watched him with disgusted awe. He ate so fast but so sloppily… it was gross but she just couldn't look away…
"Wafft arff yuff sfaving aft?" (What are you staring at?) Inuyasha asked mouth full of food as he glared at her.
"Aren't models like supposed to be… graceful..? Or something?" Sango asked staring at him. Inuyasha just blinked at her.
'What the hell is she talking about? I'm graceful!' Inuyasha thought as he swallowed his food. He pushed his empty bowl away.
"How did you do that?" Sango asked in complete fascination on how fast he ate.
"Do what?" Inuyasha asked stupidly, looking at her as if she just grew a second head.
'What an idiot,' Sango sweat-dropped and Kaede took his bowl away, cleaned it, and then left the kitchen.
"Inuyasha! Where are you?" A male voice was heard from the front of the mansion.
"In the kitchen Miroku!" Inuyasha yelled.
"How the hell am I supposed to know where that is?!" Miroku grumbled, as he looked around and then found the kitchen.
"Inuyasha you could have at least had the courtesy of supplying me with directions," Miroku complained as he stepped through the kitchen. Sango's jaw almost dropped at seeing him.
'Oh wow he is HOT!' Sango thought as she looked him up and down. He was dressed in a pair of jeans and black beater with a short sleeved purple button up shirt over that without being buttoned. His short black hair as tied in a small rat tail at the nape of his neck. His bright blue eyes landed on her and he gave her a dazzling smile. Sango thought she was going to melt to the ground.
"And who might this beautiful woman be?" He asked as he stepped closer. Sango tried so hard not to blush, but she did.
"Miroku, Sango. Sango, Miroku." Inuyasha introduced in a bored tone. Miroku was across the room so fast that Sango was surprised that he was now standing in front of her, holding her hands in his.
"What a beautiful name for a beautiful woman," Miroku said, giving her another smile.
"T-thank you," Sango murmured.
'Oh here it comes…' Inuyasha thought as he rolled his eyes.
"Lovely Sango," Miroku began seriously, "would you do me the honor of bearing my children?" Sango felt his hand slip down behind her and grab her in a very inappropriate place.
"PERVERT!" Sango screeched and gave Miroku a well deserved slap in the face. Miroku fell back onto the ground from the impact.
'Oh she is feisty!' Miroku thought with a grin, holding his abused cheek.
"You better whip that grin off of your face before I cut off your family jewels and feed them to the dogs!" Sango fumed shaking a finger at him. Miroku's grin was replaced by a grimace at the mental image he got…especially since when he thought of dog only one person really came to mind… Miroku shuddered at the disgusting thought.
'Why do dogs always have to be brought into things?' Inuyasha wondered.
"I'm going to go see what Kagome is doing," Sango huffed as she stalked out of the kitchen. Miroku got up off the floor and plopped down in a chair by Inuyasha.
"Oh I like her she has spunk!" Miroku grinned. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"There are better ways of getting a girl Miroku…"
"But they aren't as fun as my way," Miroku countered. "Anyway I have your stuff. Did you really have to bring like twenty suit cases?"
"Well I need all my clothes!"
"You're worse than a woman…" Miroku sighed.
"What did you say?" Inuyasha growled, his left eye starting to tick.
"Nothing!" Miroku laughed nervously. "Nothing at all!"
"That's what I thought you said…" Inuyasha grumbled.
"So how have things been with you and Ms. Kagome?" Miroku asked with a quirk of his eyebrow.
"Keh last time I seen that wench was when she left yesterday."
"Can't you try to be a little nicer to her?" At the glare Miroku got he sighed.
"Where are you staying at anyway?" Inuyasha asked, changing the subject.
"Oh well I'm staying at a hotel close to here. And Kagome's manager offered me a room here for when I need to be here."
"I bet Sango will be so thrilled to hear that."Inuyasha said dryly.
"Ahhh Sango," Miroku said dreamily, placing his chin in his hand with the arm he had propped up on the counter. Inuyasha gave him a disgusted look.
"Hey Miroku I got to ask you something," Inuyasha said seriously. Miroku instantly gave him his attention.
"What is it Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, his blue eyes filled with complete sincerity.
"Well it's about Kagome," Inuyasha started, running a clawed hand through his silver locks. "How did her parents die?" Miroku looked a little taken aback by the question.
"Well I don't really know," Miroku told him. "All I know is that her mother, father, and little brother were all found dead in their manor when Kagome was just fifteen. I don't really know anything else."
"Not even how they died?"
"No. That's it. It seems that the whole story was never really spoken of or in any paper or on the news. Everyone just heard that they were gone and Kagome was the only one left."
"Was she there when it happened? Why are they all dead and not her?" Inuyasha pressed.
"I really don't know at all," Miroku told him honestly. No one really knew about any of it.
'Guess I will have to find out on my own. Something just isn't right…' Inuyasha thought to his self.
"Alright let's see your room. Got to make sure all your crap gets put away," Miroku stated, getting up out of the chair.
"Hey it's not crap!" Inuyasha defended, getting up and going with him.
-x-
Sango stomped down the hallway toward Kagome's room; she was almost there when Kagome came out of the room. She was dressed casually in a pair of jean shorts and a grey short sleeved, form fitting shirt, she also had a pair of black flip flops on her feet. Her hair was left flowing freely down. Kagome started to smile at Sango but taking one look at her face she frowned.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked.
"That pervert! He asked me to bear his children then grabbed my ass! What the hell kind of greeting is that?!?!" Sango exploded. Kagome was totally lost; she had no clue what Sango was talking about.
"Are you talking about Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, bewildered. Man she knew he was a playboy but that seemed to be going a little too far…
"No! His agent is here! Some idiot named Miroku!" Sango fumed as she and Kagome walked down the hallway together to go back down stairs. They had elevators but sometimes they liked to just walk, even if Kagome's room was on the third floor.
"Oh I meant him last night, kinda. He didn't seem that bad…"
"Not that bad?! Did you not just hear what I said?!" Sango gaped at her.
"He really did that?" Kagome asked shocked.
"Yes! Came right up to me and asked me to bear his kids! Then had the nerve to touch my ass!"
"Oh Sango he is still alive isn't he?!" Kagome gasped.
"He is lucky he is!" Sango retorted, folding her arms over her chest. Kagome couldn't help but giggle at Sango. Sango glared at her. "What the hell is so funny?"
"Nothing," Kagome waved it off. Sango looked at her suspiciously for a minute but decided to let it go.
"So where are you off to?" Sango asked trying to take her mind off of earlier events. It seemed Kagome was in a better mood today. Sango hated seeing Kagome upset and depressed. Kagome wasn't like that all the time just when certain things get brought up or if something happened…. Kagome really was for the most part fun to be with. She was kind and funny and they always had a great time together, even when they were working.
"Well it's my few days off so I've decided just to chill out for awhile. Try to avoid Inuyasha as much as I can."
"Hey don't ever go out to eat with him, okay?"
"Not like I was planning to but why is that?" Kagome asked, curiously.
"Just trust me," Sango sighed. Kagome arched an eyebrow up at her but didn't press it further.
They made their way to the ground floor and walked past the huge kitchen and went out of the huge glass doors in the back, leading them into the room with the indoor pool. The pool was like a long oval shape and at the end of it was a Jacuzzi that was raised about a foot above the pool, separating the pool from it. They walked out the back doors that lead outside onto a huge stone porch. They walked down the few stairs that were there and a few feet away were the outdoor pool was. It was a simple, but huge, rectangle shaped pool with a diving board at one end. White chairs and tables with huge umbrellas for shade were scattered around, along with folding lawn chairs and small end tables for beside them.
"So what are you doing Kaggie?" Sango asked as she breathed in the fresh air.
"Going to train for a little bit," Kagome told her as they walked past the pool and onto the soft green grass.
"Thought you were going to 'chill out'," Sango remarked.
"Hey I have to keep my skills up," Kagome defended.
"Yeah and I can blow off some steam," Sango concluded as they walked farther and farther away from the mansion.
There was a large spot of wooded area and as they kept walking they came upon the small building in the middle. There was a fields of wide area around the building that was clear of trees. There was so much room so you could fight without hitting trees, even using something really big like Sango's weapon of choice. There were woods around the edges of where the open area ended, a long ways away. It was just a place to practice fighting skills. It was a secluded spot and was hidden a lot from the trees. They entered and went straight to their weapons. The room was pretty much bare, but along the walls hung several weapons. Axes, swords, knifes, all kinds of things. No guns of course though.
"Oh I missed you my Hiraikotsu," Sango crooned to her humongous boomerang made out of demon bones, as she patted it fondly. Kagome rolled her eyes as she picked up her bow and slung a quiver full of arrows over her shoulder. She had just learned that she was a miko when she was about fifteen. That was about the age mikos developed their power, and Kaede being an herb miko, she easily detected it and was able to help Kagome.
"Aren't you going to change?" Sango asked making Kagome stop in the doorway.
"Nah not today," Kagome shook her head. Then looked down at her feet, remembering she was wearing flip-flops "Well maybe my shoes at least…" She quickly went over to a small door at the side wall and opened it. Hanging up was Sango's pink and black armor outfit and her black and green one. She quickly kicked her flip-flops off and put on her black steel toed, yet comfortable shoes on that went with her armor suit.
"Kagome you should really change so you don't hurt yourself," Sango told her as she herself quickly flung off her clothes and slipped into the suit, then put on her shoes as well.
"You worry too much Sango," Kagome sighed.
"Well someone hast to make sure your safe," Sango said with a grin. Kagome smiled at her, her pretty sapphire eyes shining.
"Hai I know Sango- chan," Kagome agreed, as she reached in the little closet and pulled at a little pouch with a draw string and they both walked out the door, Sango's Hiraikotsu strapped on her back.
"Alright Kaggie, do your thing!" Sango said impatiently, she couldn't wait to get started!
"Alright, alright! Keep your bunny undies on," Kagome grumbled. Sango glared at her but didn't say anything as Kagome reached into the little pouch that she had and pulled out a handful of blue sparkling powder. She placed her other hand over it and started mumbling some chant, as a pink light surrounded it. Kagome tossed the powder in front of her, scattering it all over the ground.
"Get ready Sango!" Kagome said as the powder before them started to form things.
Little gremlin looking demons appeared before their eyes, hundreds of them! They were a deep blue color with bright yellow eyes and little, but sharp clawed hands; they were pretty ugly little things. They ranged from little ones that weren't even a foot tall and some that were well over four feet tall. They started making squawking and screeching noises as they scattered, running in all directions. They were mostly made for moving target practice; they weren't really live creatures either, more like puppets really.
"HIRAIKOTSU!" Sango shouted, letting her oversized boomerang fly through the air, slicing a few of the little creatures in half. They exploded into blue sparkling dust and were gone.
Kagome aimed her arrow and let her miko powers surround the arrow, making it glow pink. She let it go and it flew through the air, disintegrating about seven of them. She could easily control whether or not to fuse her powers with the arrow or not, making it either sacred or just a regular, but still deadly arrow.
"Alright Sango-chan! Let's go!" Kagome hollered as she took off running, firing arrows as she went. Sango took off in another direction, swinging her Hiraikotsu.
Kagome was in the woods, arrow strung on the bow, standing still, just listening for any movement. Her sapphire eyes scanned the area. She had already killed about half of them, and she could sense that Sango had killed a lot of them too. Kagome could sense whether there was any left or not, just to make sure they got them all. Kagome stood there silent and still, not hearing anything. So she let her mind wonder a little.
'Hmm I wonder what Inuyasha is doing… Wait why do I care what he is doing?! As long as he is away from me I don't really care. That Miroku guy better stay away too. Sango will kill the poor fellow after too long… even if he did deserve… I-' Her thoughts were cut off as she heard a small snapping sound, like a twig or something broke, but she had been distracted with her thoughts and didn't hear it right away. She felt something drop onto her head, from the tree above her.
"AHHH!" Kagome shrieked surprised as the ugly little thing squawked at her.
She reached up with her left hand and tried to shove the thing off her head. It swiped its small clawed hand at her and managed to cut her on her forearm. She managed to knock it to the ground. It looked up at her and hissed, but before it could run off she took her arrow and stabbed it, making it disappear with a small puff of blue.
'Sango is going to kill me now for not wearing that suit,' Kagome thought wryly examining her arm. It wasn't really that bad. It wasn't a real deep cut or anything since the claws weren't very long but it was more than a little scratch and a little bit of blood was slowly dripping down her arm. It only hurt at first and now it just kind ached and burned a little. Not too bad though… she has had worse… a lot worse.
Kagome shook her head not wanting to think about the past and ruin her good day so far. She just sighed and started to run back to the building. As she was running she felt the small tingling sensation that she had went away, she knew Sango killed the last of them. Kagome got to the building and ran inside. She stopped and rested her hands on her thighs, panting. Man was she tired from running already!
"Ha Kagome! I killed more than you did!" Sango chirped as she walked through the door with a smug look.
"Pshh only cause I let you," Kagome stated as she walked over and put her bow and arrows up.
"Uh huh riiight," Sango said sarcastically, as she went over to put her Hiraikotsu back up on the wall in its rightful place. Sango caught the red marks on Kagome's arm out of the corner of her eye. She quickly turned around and snatched Kagome's arm.
"I told you to wear your suit Kagome," Sango stated matter-of-factly as she looked at the wound.
"It's not even that bad Sango! It doesn't even hurt!" Kagome defended as she tugged her arm back.
"Oh what are you going to do now? You have ruined your beautiful arm!" Sango went on dramatically. "Now there is nothing left to do but get you under the knife…"
Kagome started laughing and Sango threw her a grin, as they went across the room to the small closet. Sango quickly changed and Kagome put her flip-flops back on. Sango checked her watch and it was already three, they had been gone a long time.
"Alright Kags I'm starving, let's go get something to eat," Sango told her as she patted her well-toned stomach.
"Mmmhmmm," Kagome agreed and they left the building and headed toward the mansion.
-x-
"Miroku it's so boring here," Inuyasha complained for the hundredth time. They were lounging in lawn chairs outside by the pool, both in swim trunks. Inuyasha wore red ones and Miroku's were a purple-blue color. Miroku sighed and then opened his eyes and glared at Inuyasha.
"Would you shut up already? You have a few days off, enjoy it," he retorted and then closed his eyes again.
'Can't a man tan in peace?!' Miroku thought as he stretched in the chair he was laying in. He heard Inuyasha growl at him but ignored him. Miroku wanted to enjoy his time off too!
"Can't we go to a party or something?" Inuyasha pressed on.
"No."
"Can we-"
"No."
"Damn it Miroku you didn't even know what I was going to say!"
Miroku sighed again and seeing that he wasn't going to get any peace with Inuyasha anywhere near him he got up out of his chair. He glanced up and seen the familiar forms of Sango and Kagome walking toward them a few yards away. As a light breeze ruffled his hair Miroku grinned. He heard Inuyasha sniffing the air and turned to give him a questioning look.
"I smell blood," Inuyasha answered his silent question, then he just shrugged. "It's dried up though."
"Hey Sango!" Miroku called out, waving his arm to get her attention.
Sango looked up to see who the voice belonged to and then she groaned.
"Why is he talking to me?" Sango wondered as she and Kagome drew closer. Sango couldn't help but admire Miroku's bear chest and even from the short distance she could tell it was well toned.
"Wipe the drool of your face Sango-chan," Kagome sniggered. Sango scowled at her and Kagome giggled. As they got only a few feet away Kagome glanced over and seen Inuyasha stretched out in the lawn chair.
'Wow,' Kagome thought as she stared at his rock hard abs and broad and muscular chest.
"Like what you see?" Inuyasha smirked and Kagome's cheeks flooded with color. Embarrassed that she had been caught staring, she quickly adverted her eyes.
"Now who needs to wipe the drool off their face?" Sango whispered and Kagome glared at her. Kagome chose to ignore Inuyasha and instead turned her attention to Miroku.
"Hello Miroku," Kagome greeted as they stopped in front of him.
"Ah hello to you as well beautiful Kagome," Miroku said with a charming smile on his handsome face. He looked at Sango and his blue eyes were shining with admiration. "Hello to you to gorgeous Sango."
Sango just huffed and looked in the opposite direction.
"Ah still mad at me I see," Miroku observed and Sango glowered at him. Miroku sighed dramatically.
"What happened to you wench?" Inuyasha suddenly spoke up, eyes on Kagome. Kagome looked confused for a minute until she seen Inuyasha's eyes flicker to her arm then back to her.
"Oh. Just training," Kagome replied with a shrug.
"Keh! You can't even protect yourself. How pathetic," Inuyasha mused out loud. Kagome glared at him.
"I can protect myself just fine!" Kagome snapped, her eyes sparkling with irritation.
"Yeah I can tell," Inuyasha drawled sarcastically as he sat up in the lawn chair.
"Now, now," Miroku scolded lightly, inching his way toward Sango. "Let's try to behave ourselves."
Sango's eye started to twitch as she felt a hand were it was not supposed to be. "PERVERT!" she screeched as she swung her fist around, connecting with his head. He fell to the ground in a heap, his eyes looking swirly and dazed before they closed. Sango huffed as she stepped over him and headed for the door.
"Is he, uh, going to be okay?" Kagome asked worriedly as she nudged Miroku with her foot. Inuyasha shrugged.
"He will get up eventually."
"Don't you even care that he is laying here unconscious?" Kagome asked annoyed by his casualness.
"Not really," Inuyasha replied nonchalantly.
"What an ass," Kagome muttered as she started for the door.
"What did you say?" Inuyasha growled as he got out of his chair. Kagome just ignored him and kept walking, and Inuyasha followed.
"Hey don't ignore me bitch!"
Kagome spun around and glared at him. "Don't call me a bitch!"
"Why not bitch?" Inuyasha taunted, arms crossed.
"The name is Kagome! KA-GO-ME! Even someone as stupid as you should be able to get that!" Kagome shouted and Inuyasha covered his poor little doggie ears.
"DAMN IT DON'T YELL WENCH!"
"THEN DON'T CALL ME A BITCH!" Kagome retorted back, her arms crossed stubbornly over her chest.
"You're hurting my ears you damn banshee!" Inuyasha gritted out, hands plastered over his sensitive ears.
"Good!" Kagome huffed as she turned away from him and flung open the door. Inuyasha couldn't help but admire her long shapely legs, and watch her hips sway in her natural feminine rhythm.
'Damn,' Inuyasha thought appreciatively. At least he didn't get stuck with some ugly bitch. He could at least give her that much credit, she was beautiful. He knew she thought he was attractive, she had already given that away as she was gawking at him earlier. Inuyasha smirked to himself. 'Hmm maybe I can use that to my advantage to find out exactly what that pretty little bitch was hiding about her past.' Inuyasha just couldn't help himself. He was always known that as soon as he put his mind to something, it would happen. And he was determined to find out about her.
'Keh just natural curiosity.' He concluded in his mind.
Inuyasha gave one last glare at Kagome before he sauntered back over to the chair he was sitting in and sat down. Miroku was already awake and was sitting in the chair, rubbing his head.
"Man that Sango sure can pack a wallop!" Miroku exclaimed.
"Keh you should stop grabbing her ass then," Inuyasha told him.
"Nahh," Miroku shook his head. "I like a challenge."
"That challenge is probably going to kill you," Inuyasha snorted.
"Then I shall die a happy man," Miroku said dreamily and Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
Miroku got up and stood by the edge of the pool. He took one look into it then grinned.
"CANNONBALL!" and with that Miroku jumped into the water, knees drawn to chest. Water splashed everywhere, including the seat Inuyasha was sitting in. Miroku resurfaced and grinned at the now soaked hanyou. A very mad looking soaked hanyou.
"Uh..hehe..he..he?" Miroku laughed nervously.
"MIROKU!" Inuyasha snarled and leaped into the water after him.

Kagome walked into the kitchen and plopped down into the chair at the island counter. They had dining rooms but Kagome never really eats in there, unless she has company. Kaede was in there mixing together something in her little pot that she used for herbs, mostly medicines and such.
"Sango tells me ye didn't wear your suit again," she commented, without even turning around.
"It's just a scratch Kaede, nothing more." Kagome assured the older woman.
"Even a scratch can get infected, child." Kaede said turning to Kagome with the little pot and some bandages. Kagome sighed.
"Where did Sango go anyway?"
"Kohaku called just a minute ago. She probably went to get some privacy," Kaede answered her as she picked up Kagome's arm. Seeing the dried blood she went to fetch a clean cloth, she used especially for cleaning wounds and wetted it.
"Oh that's right he's in Hong Kong still," Kagome remembered. Kohaku attended a private school there, and lived in the school dorms. Sango wanted him to have the best education she could give him. He comes home on breaks and for summer. Sango also goes up there to visit. Kaede cleaned her arm then dipped her fingers into the small pot and then they were covered in a dark green paste. She spread it onto the scratches thickly. It was warm and made Kagome's arm tingle a little. Then Kaede wrapped the bandages around it and when she was done Kagome thanked her.
"Aye your welcome Kagome. Now Sango said you guys were hungry so I will make ye two a light lunch, dinner is at seven as always."
"Alright," Kagome agreed. Sango came waltzing through the door, a big smile on her face. "How is Kohaku?" Kagome asked.
"Great!" Sango beamed at her. "He is on the A-B honor roll this year!"
"I knew he was a smart kid," Kagome said with a small smile.
"Yup!" Sango agreed.
"I'm glad ye brother is doing well Sango, tell him hello for me next time you speak to him," Kaede said as she gave a wrinkly smile.
"Hai I will Kaede," Sango nodded.
"So when is his next break?" Kagome asked, strumming her fingers on the island. Kaede had already sauntered away toward the fridge.
"Not for a few weeks," Sango replied a little sadly. She loved her little brother, she has raised him since he was five and missed him terribly.
"Well when he does come back we will definitely celebrate," Kagome said with a smile.
"Yeah for sure," Sango agreed smiling back.
'I wonder what Souta would be doing right now…if he were alive…' Kagome couldn't help but wonder. The thought of her little 10 year old brother caused pain to grip her heart. 'If only I hadn't been so stupid…he would be alive…so would my mother and father…' A picture of the last time she seen her family flashed in her mind, and it caused a sudden wave of nausea to wash over her.
"Kagome what's wrong?" Sango asked as she seen distant and sick look on her friends face.
"Oh it's nothing really Sango," Kagome replied with a small smile. "I just feel kind of sick. I think I worked a little to hard today on an empty stomach."
"Alright Kagome I hope you feel better," Sango said softly. She knew better than to believe that but she didn't want to press the matter. Kagome tossed back an apologetic smile and left.
"Kaede how am I supposed to help her?" Sango asked exasperatedly. She knew what Kagome was probably about to go do. There isn't any stopping her, she would just find someway to get more. Better her be here where she can be attended to immediately than some unknown place.
"I'm not really sure," Kaede said sadly. "Kagome will not talk about that night and she will be a prisoner to her own feelings and memory until she decides to confide in someone."
"I wish she would talk to me," Sango sighed, a little hurt that Kagome wouldn't confide in her. "Do you think Keiji is doing the right thing by forcing her to be around Inuyasha?"
"I think Keiji is just doing what he can to help. He is hoping Kagome will find love. Maybe not with Inuyasha but it is a start. He doesn't want anything to happen to her," Kaede replied.
"I don't either. I just wish she would just be more careful," Sango said.
"Aye I know child. She is too young to part from this earth," Kaede said wistfully. "If she keeps up the path she is on…" Kaede trailed off with a shake of her head. Sango nodded solemnly.
'If only Kagome would talk to me.. or anyone…,' Sango thought as Kaede turned away to prepare lunch. 'I don't want to lose her…maybe she will fall in love with Inuyasha…' Then an image of them to fighting popped into her mind and she sweatdropped. 'ehh well maybe not him but someone… if she could find love... Maybe she would stop and start living better… all I want is for her to be happy… '
