InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A.T.T.I.C ❯ Baby It's Cold Outside ( Chapter 10 )

*3 weeks later*

“Welcome to my dorm new kid.” Kouga said looking over the red headed green eyed kitsune. “Here's the grand tour, your room's there, that's the kitchen, that's my room and that's the living room/dining room/den/ anything else you can think of. There's a bathroom right there and in each of our rooms. The kitchen normally doesn't have food; there really is no point to lie to you. Are there any questions?” Kouga said as he put his coat on to go ice skating with Ayame.

“Your name's Kouga right?” the boy asked.

“Yeah and what's yours again?”

“It's Shippo.”

“Well Shippo have fun putting all your crap away. You have anything you want me to get while I'm out. I'm getting a Christmas tree and some decorations today because a group of my friends always come over for Christmas.” Kouga said as he grabbed his skates off the floor and headed towards the door.

“Nah I'm cool, just where is the nearest skating rink or mall so I can go when I'm done.” Shippo asked.

After Kouga gave him directions and left, Shippo walked into his new room and started to fix it up. After about an hour he was done. He looked over the room and felt something was missing. There was an empty space on his nightstand next to his alarm clock. He searched through a bag and found a three picture frame.

The picture on the far right was of his mother basking in the moonlight. Another was of his father ruffling his hair in his battle armor. The last one on the far left was a picture of him, a blond haired pink eyed girl and a chocolate haired little girl with red streaks in her hair and crystal blue eyes. He and the blond girl were tossing the younger one up in the air on the beach.

Shippo smiled weakly at the picture and made his way to the door. With a heavy sigh he left his new home filled with thoughts of his old one. He headed down stairs deciding to find something to eat before he went either skating or shopping.

MONKEY-BUTT-JACK-FUCK

“I hate her…” Kagome muttered as she waved her arms wildly to stay up straight on the ice.

Rin was in the middle of the rink doing tricks as if they were the easiest thing in the world. Kids from the side lines watched and clapped happily as she turned around three times in the air.

“I think you're just jealous…” Inu Yasha said coming up behind her and grabbing her waist to keep her from falling.

“Hump, I'm allowed to be jealous.” Kagome said with a pout.

“Not this close to Christmas, you Scrooge.” Inu Yasha replied as he pushed Kagome around the rink.

Kagome blew a raspberry at him. “You're one to talk Mr. I hate the cold but some how magically I know how to ice skate.” Kagome said in a mocking tone.

“Hey, I wouldn't say things like that to the person that is keeping me from nose diving into ice.” Inu Yasha replied with a smirk.

“Don't threaten me.” Kagome said with a playful laugh. “Hey, where is Kikyo?” Kagome asked, as she watched couples skate all around her. Then she noticed that it looked like they were a couple. She really didn't want people to get the wrong impression.

“She's sick. Even though she basically quarantined me and everyone else who sneezed, she still got the flu. Why?”

“I was just wondering is all… I haven't seen her around you in a while. And I figured she'd have you in a mall right now you know, for last minute shopping.” Kagome replied.

“You want to go backwards?” Inu Yasha asked.

“Huh… I can barely skate forwards what makes you think I can skate backwards.” Kagome said noting that he had changed the subject.

“Just do what I tell you…” Inu Yasha said as he got behind her and pulled her into his chest. “Just follow my blades, if they move in you do the same and vice-versa” Inu Yasha explained as he started off slowly so she could get used to moving her feet with him.

Kagome's cheeks were a bright red as Inu Yasha placed his head on her shoulder. He still looked back now and then to make sure they weren't going to run into anything but for the most part it stayed there.

“Strawberries…” Inu Yasha muttered.

“What?” Kagome asked softly.

“You smell like ripe strawberries. My mom grew them before we moved. One summer there was this really big one, about the size of a doorknob, and when I bit into it, it was really sweet and you smell just like it.” Inu Yasha said as his warm breath blew on her cheek. “I didn't notice it until just now…”

Kagome's whole face was red now. She wanted to explode into the girly giggles but she stopped herself. `He has a girlfriend, I'm not his girlfriend, and we are just really close friends… Yeah, just really close friends…' Kagome thought.

Kagome stopped and turned to face him. She pulled her glove off and placed her hand on his forehead. “Are you still sick Inu Yasha?”

“What?” Inu Yasha asked missing the feeling of her against his body and not completely comprehending what she was asking.

“Nothing, you want to go get something to eat?” Kagome asked as she slipped her glove back on. Kagome tried to skate forwards and realized she could only skate backwards now.

“Yeah sure let's go…”

YAOI-ROCKS-YAOI-ROCKS

“He likes her you know…” Rin said as Sesshoumaru lifted her up and spun around. Kagome and Inu Yasha had just left to go get some food.

“Of course this Sesshoumaru knows; Inu Yasha is the idiot.” Sesshoumaru said plainly.

“And how did you come to that conclusion?” Rin asked with a giggle as the two skated circles around everyone in the rink.

“Because, he is still dating that Kinky-hoe girl when it is obvious that Kagome is head over heels for him.” Sesshoumaru said as Rin skated around him, “and vice versa.”

“Hum…” Rin muttered with a thoughtful look. “You want to build a snowman Fluffy?” Rin said in a childish voice as her eyes sparkled.

“This is the fifth time you've called me that Rin…” Sesshoumaru said raising an eyebrow at her.

“Really now, is that so?” Rin asked as she tapped her finger on her chin. “Who cares, in my mind it fits you… now come on I want to build a snowman!” Rin said with a big smile as she pulled him off the ice.

Sesshoumaru rolled his eyes as she instructed him on how to roll and pact the balls perfectly. And when she threw a snowball at him because she was sure he wasn't listening the snow fight of the century began.

“Hold still so I can hit you Fluffy!” Rin called as he dodged yet another one of her snowballs. She suddenly felt a ball of ice hit her bottom. Rin frowned; he wasn't going to get away with this. Suddenly the ice around Rin's feet turned red. Sesshoumaru stopped for a moment to see what she was up to. Rin smirked, “Frozen Kitsune Ice Kiss!” Rin called out.

The snow began to roll itself into balls. Then it began to fly toward Sesshoumaru. And every time he dodged one it would attack again. “That's not fair. How was I supposed to know you controlled the ice element?” Sesshoumaru asked as more snowballs continued attacking him.

“And that's why they call me the Ice Princess…” Rin said with a smirk. “Watching you dance is fun but I'm ready to go eat. Come on Fluffy.” Rin said calling off her army and once again dragging him somewhere against his will.

“I'll get you for that…” Sesshoumaru said in a low voice.

“I'm sure you will but you might want to wait until spring or at least until the snow melts.” Rin said with a soft giggle.

SUGAR-RUSH-SUGAR-RUSH

It was the day before Christmas Eve and Kouga, Ayame, Inu Yasha, Kagome, Miroku and Sango sat in the karaoke bar. Sesshoumaru and Rin weren't there, something about payback. Anyway Inu Yasha was fighting a war of words with Kagome who was winning.

“Come on Kagome you can't be serious! I don't want to do karaoke! It's beyond lame.” Inu Yasha said loudly as he sipped some hot cocoa.

“I don't care what you think you're going to sing the song with me!” Kagome yelled at him.

“Ten bucks says Inu Yasha does it with his tail in between his legs…” Ayame said to Miroku.

“Sounds like a good bet to me.” Miroku said putting his money on the table.

After another five minutes of arguing Inu Yasha sighed and allowed him self to be dragged to the stage. “I love a quick ten buck in the morning.” Ayame said as she took Miroku's money and put it in her wallet.

Kouga smirked as Sango scolded Miroku. “What did I tell you about betting Miroku? You never win.”

Kagome stood up and handed the extra microphone to Inu Yasha. “Thanks Inu Yasha, and please don't mess up the song to get back at me…” Kagome said as the music began to play. They were singing Baby It's Cold Outside by Vanessa Williams.

“I really can't stay…” Kagome started off with a warm tone.

“Baby it's cold outside.” Inu Yasha sung very nicely surprising Kagome and all of the people who knew him.
“I've got to go away…” Kagome sang tilting her head to the side to make sure she wasn't dreaming that Inu Yasha knew how to sing.

“Baby it's cold outside.” He said holding the notes nicely.
“This evening has been…”

“Been hoping that you'd drop in...”
“So very nice...”

“I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice.”

By the time the song was almost done the two had been dancing around the stage getting into the song. “Awww but it's cold out.” Inu Yasha sang as he twirled Kagome into his arms.

“Baby it's cold outside.” The two sang in perfect harmony.

The whole bar was filled with applause and cheers for the performance. As the two made their way back to their group the whole bar gave them standing ovations. “Who knew dog boy could sing…” Kouga said looking over at Ayame who nodded in agreement.

“Kagome that was great!” Sango said as she hugged her best friend. “If only Rin had grabbed Inu Yasha at the Halloween Party.” She said with a big smile.

“The possibilities are endless…” Kagome said with a smile as Inu Yasha scoffed behind her.

“Oh yeah, you guys have to meet my new roommate later. He went to the mall and then skating the other day but he's been locked up in his room since then.”

“Apple cider please…” Kagome called to the bartender, who slid it down the side of the bar. “So, what's his name?” Kagome asked as she took a sip of the warm liquid.

“He's name's Shippo.” Kouga replied.

Kagome began to choke on her drink. And Sango, who was eating a cookie, began to choke also. After a couple of pats on the back and half coughed up curses, the two girls looked at each other warily.

“Hey are you two alright?” Miroku asked as he handed Sango his milk which she gulped down happily.

“Fine.” They both said at the same time.

“So tell us some more about this Shippo kid.” Inu Yasha said.

“He's a red headed green eyed kitsune. He's kind of shy though, doesn't talk much. He's an orphan and an only child.” Kouga said.

“Oh shit…” Kagome muttered under her breath.
OH- SO-HAPPILY-INSANE

How were my dividers in this chapter? I was thinking more me. And in the end I just typed random crap in caps/bold to divide the parts of the story. Hope it didn't confuse too many people…

Okay so I moved some scenes in my story so Shippo could come in a bit earlier than I had originally planned. This was done so that Shippo fans would not send so voodoo curse to get me. But all in all, I think it worked out quite well.

The Kagome and Inu Yasha singing Baby It's Cold Outside is something I have been trying to put in a fanfic for a while. I like the way it was placed. I also enjoy the fact that Rin has finally decided to call Sesshoumaru Fluffy whether he likes it or not and later we'll learn he does.

Inutashio and Kagura aren't gone yet but we won't hear from them until after the New Year's Party where Inu Yasha and Kagome… Oops almost spoiled that part. But speaking of the New Year's party should it be in a dorm or what? Just mention it in your review and I'll work on it.

Umm… that's it I think… Oh Miroku is going to be in for a shock in a while along with Sango. But that's another part of the story. Okay I'm done spoiling for today. I love you all remember to review because just incase anyone out there is wondering what kind of schedule I normally update on it's this… If I get 10 reviews for a new chapter or 100 views on said chapter I update. That or I just wait until I feel guilty about not updating and that normally takes a while being as my conscience isn't that good. I'm going to listen to Who's Theme for Samurai Champloo, I'm so addicted to MINMI! I'm going to buy her CD from Hello Cutie next week. Well peace out Read and Review BYE!
