Thanks to all who reviewed! I'm way too lazy to respond to all of the reviews . (sorry! I'll answer he questions though!)
I believe that there was only one question, but nonetheless, it asked if Sesshomaru was going to be in this story. Yes, he will be, not for very long, but he will be. I think (if I end up making sequels) that he will have a bigger part in those.
Now, for the long awaited chapter thirteen!
Chapter thirteen: New Dresses
"Damn." She cursed. Her shoulder was much worse than she had expected. The cuts weren't fatal or anything, they just hurt like no other. Kagome had made Inuyasha wait outside of the bathroom, while she attended to her wounds.
"Inuyasha! Can I use the tub for a minute?" She asked.
"Yeah, sure!" He called; Inuyasha was sitting on the couch watching some sports game Kagome didn't really care about.
Kagome gingerly turned the faucet on, and waited for the tub to get about six inches deep. When it had, she gently splashed water on it, a little at first, and then more as she got used to it. By the time her bleeding had subsided, and wound cleaned, and dressed, it was close to 4:00 in the afternoon, and Kagome was still in the bathroom. 'Boy this day sure isn't going very quickly.' Kagome thought, and sighed. She wanted to get away from this place, the last thing she wanted, was to develop feelings for the young demon lord. If she did, it would probably mean big problems for the both of them, and she i really /i didn't need any more problems.
"Kagome! Are you done in there yet?"
"Yes lor—uh—Inuyasha! But, do you have that dress that you said you would get?" She asked, as politely as possible.
"Oh, right. I forgot about that." He said. Kagome heard him walk over to wherever the dresses were, and then towards the bathroom. He was just about to come in when she stopped him.
"Eyes!" She said in a warning tone.
"Sorry." He said, putting one clawed hand over his eyes, and handing her the dresses he had gotten. Kagome gasped.
"Inuyasha! These are much too nice! I can't work in these! I'll ruin them!" She exclaimed.
"Don't worry about it, I got more than one, you know. So it won't matter what happens to them. Hurry and try them on, I wanna see how they look on you. He said with a grin. Kagome couldn't see the laughter in his eyes, on the account that he had his hand over them, but she thought she saw a slight crack where his fingers met…
"Okay, let me get dressed." She said, pushing him out the doorway. Kagome really wished Inuyasha hadn't knocked the door to pieces, that would be hard to explain.
Kagome laid the dresses on the rather large granite counter in the bathroom. There were five dresses, each beautiful in it's own way. The first kimono was a calming powder blue, with a green trim on the ends, and matching chopsticks to put in her hair. The second dress was a sheer purple color, with a black under robe as the second layer; there was a red-print lily on the bottom of the long skirt, and a matching purple bow for her hair and wrists. The third kimono; was very cheery and warm. It was yellow, with extra-long sleeves, and orange frays at the end, and there was a white flower pattern all around the dress, and also had a matching accessory with it. The fourth kimono was a deep red, with purple lacing all around it, it looked like the sewing machine had gone wild, but stayed on the dress, it was still beautiful. The last dress was by far the most breathtaking. It was pure black, with a light pink tie around the waist; there were also pink and glittery chopsticks for her hair, and a pink and black fan as an extra accessory. She decided she wanted to try the black dress on first.
It took about an hour for Kagome to get in and out of each kimono, put on the accessories, and show Inuyasha. He smiled and nodded his approval for each one. Kagome asked him which one he liked best on her, and his answer was the same as hers. "That black one, with the pink bow in the back." He said sweetly, when he answered her question. She had finished taking off the last of the kimonos she had been kindly given, and decided to use the purple, black, and red dress first. She put it on, and walked out of the bathroom, carrying the other four dresses.
It was nearing six o clock, and Kagome was deadbeat tired. But, she did have her duties to perform, she looked around the room, and tried to recall if she had cleaned the carpets or not. She didn't remember getting the stains out, or, all of them at least. She shook her head, and tried to think more clearly.
"Did you…?" She asked, slightly grinning.
"Did I what?" He asked, also smiling.
"Thank you." She said. The room was now spotless, and she would get to go home so much earlier than last night!
"Hey, Kagome, how did you break your nose? I had been meaning to ask you that, it just slipped my mind." He said, signaling the tape placed over her nose.
Kagome flinched, she couldn't tell him that Kikyo did it, no; she couldn't, weren't they still together? Maybe not, but still, she wouldn't risk it.
"I, uh, I ran into a wall, it was dark out."
Inuyasha mouthed an, 'Oh', and there was an awkward silence for a while.
"Well, I will be back tomorrow, Inuyasha. Oh, and please try not to make as much of a mess tonight, okay?" She asked.
Inuyasha blushed slightly, but it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. "Uh, sure, do you want me to go with you? That is, I mean, to explain to Jaken and all…" Inuyasha stuttered. Kagome cut him off before he made an even bigger fool out of himself.
"Sure, let's go." She said, smiling warmly, picking up the cleaning supplies she had used. She staggered from the weight of the dresses, and supplies, so Inuyasha picked them all up off of her shoulders, as if they were mere feathers. She looked at him, with a mix of confusion, and awe in her eyes.
"What, would you rather fall over with all of this stuff?" He joked. Kagome shook her head, responding a 'no', and walked towards the closet, and opened the door. Inuyasha placed the items on the floor, and closed the door quickly. He hated the feeling of that closet, it was just, creepy.
The two made their way done the stairs, and into Jaken's office. Well, Inuyasha went into Jaken's office, Kagome just stood outside the door, and strained herself to hear the conversation.
"But, milord! She surely must be a witch of some kind! Don't fall for her petty tricks!" Kagome laughed, she was right about one thing.
"Listen, I will do what I want, and you are to go by my wishes, is that clear?"
"Milord! You are being unreasonable! I—"
" i Is that clear? /i " Inuyasha stated sharply, the anger and frustration clearly ringing through his voice.
"Ye—yes, milord." Jaken stuttered.
Inuyasha walked out of the room, in a bit of a bad mood that Jaken would dare to question his authority. He was a bit surprised to see Kagome staggering to get her balance, and regain her posture.
"Did I not tell you?" She giggled.
"Tell me what?" He said.
"I told you he would accuse me of being a witch!" She said.
"Oh, that."
"What am I going to do with the kimonos?" She asked.
"Take them with you of course." He said, handing her the dresses.
"Okay, but what if I get them ruined?"
"Well, if you mean by getting hit, that won't happen, not on Jaken's life that is anyways. And if you get dirt, or cleaner or whatever on them, that shouldn't be a problem, the laundry system here should clean them, and if worse comes to worse, we'll just get you a new one."
"Alright then! Well, thank you very much Inuyasha!" Kagome said, bowing slightly, and looking up at Inuyasha. She gave him a light hug, and rushed out the door, with the dresses flying behind her.
