[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

What the hell was wrong with them? Kagome wondered as she watched Jake, Sam, and Josh out of the rear view mirror. They were whispering. And even Inuyasha couldn’t understand what they were saying. She knew, cuz she asked him.

“Hey, Inu?” she whispered, leaning as far over as she dare while she was driving. “What’s with all the nick names?” he snapped. Louder then he should have.

“Kags, You’re already giving him pet names.” Josh asked. “There not pet names you twit.” Kagome growled. It was an actual growl too. Shocking Inuyasha a bit.
“Well, according to Mizu you called him Yash before we saw you. And now you’re calling him Inu.”
“So? You guys call me Kags and Kaggy. If Inu and Yash are pet names. So are those. And you all know that I don’t take kindly to pet names.” “Right, right. Sorry Kaggy.” Kagome
snorted and rolled her eyes.

“But, anyways.” Kagome whispered to Inuyasha. “Can you hear what their talking about?”

The ears hidden under the bandana swerved towards the boys in the back seat. All he heard was ‘Kaggy.’, ‘Date’, ‘Plan.’. He lowly growled.
“No. Just ‘Kaggy’, ‘Date’, and ‘Plan’.” he whispered back. “But if I wasn’t wearing this stupid bandana, I could probably find out.” “You’re not taking it off.”
“Why not? I thought you liked my ears.” he said with a pout.
“Liked being the key word.” she hissed. “I grew up Inuyasha. I don’t go all ‘girly-girl’ over dog ears…” she stopped, and got a dreamy look in her eyes. “Adorable, fuzzy, soft dog ears.” and she shook her head and glared at his smirk. “Shut up.” she snapped before he could say anything.

“You let me take this thing off, I’ll let you pet them.” he bribed. She shot him another glance out of the corner of her eye.
“Maybe later.” she said. Smiling a little. “Alright guys! Where’s the hotel?”
“We don’t we get to stay with you?” Josh whispered.
“No. I got these freaks there already.”
“Hey!” 6 voices said.
“Relax. You know I love you.” Kagome said smiling.
“What?” Inuyasha whispered. “I love all my friends. Habit.” She turned left, and pulled into the parking lot.
“Come on Kaggy.” Sam whined. “I promise I’ll keep to myself.” he begged. “Yeah, you might keep to yourself.” and she slapped a hand over his. “But what about that hand of yours.” “I swear it’s cursed!” he yelled, throwing them in the air. “Uh-huh. Where have I heard that before?” she asked Inuyasha. And they both glared at Miroku. Who chuckled nervously.

“But anyways. Get inside.”
“It’s booked.”
“Not for long.” and Kagome grabbed her cell phone. And started dialling.

“Hello? Keskay Hotel, Rose speaking.” some one asked. “Hello. Are there any rooms available?” Kagome asked. “I’m sorry. But we’re all booked.”
“Is the suite available?”
“Sorry. No.”
“Well. Then we’ll just have to take our business else where.” Kagome sent a wink to the boys behind her. “Might I ask who you are?”
“I’m Kagome Higurashi.”
“Wait. The Kagome Higurashi?”
“Yes. The Kagome Higurashi. But, seeing as you’re full-”
“No, no. Please hold for one moment.” Rose said, you could hear the smile in her voice. There was a click and that annoying music.

“Well guys, you’re in.” Kagome said happily after a brief talk with the manager. And she had to explain why she wouldn’t be with the group. “He’s waiting inside. Go a head. And hope to god that you never have to walk up those shrine steps.”
“So you do live on a shrine.” Jake asked. “Unfortunately.” “How the hell does that work?”
“Family thing.”
“I can’t imagine Bad Ass Kaggy livin’ on a big old shrine.” Kagome snorted at him. “I did spend the last 10 years as far away from it as possible. Without killing myself.”
“God knows you wanna do that.” Jake said sarcastically.
“Yeah. Sooner the better. See ya guys!” she waved as she drove off.

“You actually wanna kill yourself?” Inuyasha asked.
“Sometimes. But I get over it.” Kagome replied.
“How can you joke like that!?” Sango yelled. “It’s not funny!”
“I know it’s not!” Kagome yelled back. “It’s another inside joke. You wouldn’t understand.” Kagome hissed.
“Try me.” Inuyasha hissed back.

Sighing she concentrated on the road.
“A few years back, before I meet the guys. I had actually tried to kill myself. Didn’t work out so well.”
“What!?” Mizu yelled. “I didn’t know that!”
“Of coarse not. Why the hell do you think I wore all those sweaters back then?”
“Kagome…” Mizu whispered. “My arms were torn to shreds. And I didn’t want anyone to know about it. But Sam found out. And helped me threw it. He was actually the only one who tried to help me, instead of send me off somewhere.”
“Who tore your arms to shreds Kagome?” Inuyasha growled. “I’ll kill em’.”
“You really are dense aren’t you.” Kagome whispered. “Just tell me already!”
“You can’t kill them! I know you can’t!”
“You think I’m that weak!?”
“No! It’s not that you’re not strong enough. God knows you are. But you just won’t kill them.” “Why not!?”
“Because it was me!” That stopped him. “You don’t know that most people who try to kill them selves, cut their arms do you?” “I….uh…no.”
“Well. There. Okay? Can we just drop it.”
“But you’re still joking about it!” Sango yelled as Kagome stopped at another red light.
“So?”“So how can you!?”
“Because I got threw it! God dammit.”
“But Kagome. There are people who don’t get threw it.” Sango whispered. “I don’t give a shit. They don’t get over it, their problem.” Kagome hissed, and everyone besides Mizu and Souta looked at her shocked.
“What happened to you?” Miroku asked. “What are you talking about?”
“The last time we saw you. You’d help anyone.”
“Yeah well. People change, times change, situations change.” I’ve heard that before. Inuyasha thought.
“But. What happened to you Kagome?” Inuyasha asked.
“You happened to me.” she growled.
“Me?”
“Yes you.” and she pulled in front of the shrine steps. “You were the one with the crappy attitude, even when I tried to help. You were the one who always treated me like I was worthless. And yet you complained about how life must suck being hanyou.” That was the first time she had ever called him a half-breed. And he didn’t like it. “You were the one who, no matter how nice I was to you, no matter how good I was, or how much I tried to help you, pushed me away. You’re the one I get this from. Hanging around you for 3 years taught me something. You know what that is?” he did the only thing he could at the moment. He nodded his head.
“You taught me that I can’t always help everyone, I can’t expect everyone to except me, and that is anyone has problems they can’t get over. And that if they can‘t relize that there is away to help themselves but their just to stupid, or naive to get it then too bad for that. Life sucks.” she turned the car off, grabbed her keys. Getting out of the car she slammed the door, and stormed up the steps. You could practically see the steam coming out of her ears.

“Way-to-go Yash.” Mizu hissed.
“What did I do!?” he yelled. “You brought it up!”
“Stop talking about me like I can’t hear you!” Kagome screamed from the top of the stairs, “Or you’re all going to be sleeping outside tonight!”
“Feh, that ain’t so bad.” Inuyasha muttered.
“Yeah. But you’ll be sleeping in a bed.” and he cringed.
“Like to see you try to make me.” he muttered to himself.
“I heard that! And I have my way of persuasion.”
“How the hell did she hear me?” he asked them shocked. They just shrugged.

Groaning Inuyasha got out of the car, and heard up the stairs. Leaving the rest of the group behind.

Mizu grabbed her cell and dialled Sam’s number.
“Hello?”
“Hey Sam. It’s Mizu.”
“Hey Mi.”
“We got a problem. Inuyasha brought some topic up that made Kags totally blow her top.”
“Lock em’ in a room together and wait until they make up.”
“Inuyasha is like…super strong. He wouldn’t stay in there for long.”
“Well…ask if you can borrow Kagome’s car, take everyone but them with you. Give them some space. If I know Kagome, which I do, she’s probably gonna wanna be alone with him for a while, to try to get things cleared up.”
“Alright. We’ll try that. We could go shopping. Yeah. Inuyasha is Souta’s size. We can get some stuff for him too. Great idea Sam! Love you!”
“Love you too.” Sam said with a chuckle. “See ya later.”
“Later.” Mizu said flipping her phone closed. “Well. You guys stay here, I’ll go get the keys.”


Kagome stormed into the house, threw the keys on the table and ran up to her room. Slamming the door.
“Damn Inuyasha.” she muttered, flopping face first onto her bed. “Why the hell am I so worked up over it anyways?” she continued to ramble on to herself about odd things, like why she even bothered coming back to this place, why she bothered going back down the well. Things like that.

She didn’t notice when Inuyasha himself walked into her room.

“Do you always talk to yourself?” he asked. And he grinned when she glared at him. “Come on. I’m sorry alright? I just¾”
“Kaggy!” Mizu yelled running into her room. “Oh…uh…was I interrupting?”
“No!” Kagome said the same time Inuyasha said “Yes.” They glared at each other.

“Well…anyways Kagome. I need the car.” Mizu said, and she waited. Counting off in her head.

“WHAT!?” Kagome screamed.
“Just for a minute. I’m taking Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Souta shopping.”
“But….but…my car!” Kagome whined, sounding much like Shippo did when Inuyasha hit him.
“Yes Kagome. I know you love your car. But I need to borrow it. I promise, not a scratch on it when I get back.” Mizu said, holing up her right hand as she said it.
“My car!”
“Is that all you can say!?” “Well then at least, I’m driving.”
“No. You’re tired, get some sleep.”
“I ain’t tired. And whose gonna watch things here? You know there are demons in this time too!”
“So? Inuyasha is gonna be here.”
“I am?”
“He is?”
“Yes. He’s Souta’s size. I pick him up some clothes will I’m there.”
“Well…”
“Great! Thanks!” And before Kagome could say anything else, Mizu was out the door and in the car with everyone else.

“If she gets sp much as gets a crumb on the seats in my car I’m gonna…” she let the sentence trail off so that Inuyasha could fill in the blanks.
“Okay…you’re over reacting.” Inuyasha muttered,
“But it’s my car! My baby! Damn it!” and she flopped down on her bed with an over dramatic sigh.

She continued to muttered to herself while he walked up and sat down beside her.
“You know.” he said, getting her attention. “If you keep talking to yourself, people are going to think you’re crazy.”
“What makes you think I’m not crazy?”
“Crazy people don’t know their crazy.”
“Well I could be one of those people who don’t know that they know that their minds know that other people know and they also know that their crazy.”
“What?” Inuyasha asked, giving her the weirdest expression she’d ever seen.
“Where’d I lose you?” she asked.“When you opened your mouth.” he chuckled lightly when she hit him with the pillow.

“You are so rude.” she snapped. “Oh and you’re not?”
“At least I can turn the rudeness off.”
“I have yet to see that.”
“And you’re not gonna.”
“Oh that’s mean.” he said with a small pout.
“Don’t play fake hurt puppy.”
“Who says its fake?” he whispered, looking away for her.

She glanced at him from the corner of her eye, and for once she saw hurt printed on his normally stoic face. It was either stoic, angry, or annoyed. Never once had she seen him look hurt. Except when he found out that Naraku had ‘killed’ Kikyo.

Sighing she pushed herself up and turned to him.
“Hey.” she said, her voice no longer as harsh and snappy as it was before.
“What?” Okay, so maybe his voice was harsh and snappy now. It was her fault. He turned so his back was to her. And for some reason, she felt sad at that.

Sighing again she moved towards him. And wrapped her arms around him from behind.
She didn’t notice his eye going wide or the blush on his face when she pressed herself against him, and laid her head on the back of his shoulder.

“I’m sorry.” she whispered into his hair. She had never been this close to his hair before. And was surprised to find out that it was soft and silky. She smiled to herself.
“Forgive me?” she asked, hoping that he’d be somewhat like Mizu. And say ‘always.’
“Keh.” of coarse he wouldn’t just say ’no hard feelings’ or ’no problem.’

Pulling away from him slightly fast she sighed again. “You’re hopeless.” she said again.
“What did I do this time?” he snapped.
“When ever someone says ‘sorry’ you say ‘that’s okay’ or ‘no problem.’ not ‘Keh.’!” she snapped.
“I’ll say it if I wanna.”
“Jerk.”
“Bitch.”
“B ite me!” she yelled, storming out of the room and down the stares. Grabbing a beer out of the fridge.

“She does know that ‘Bite me’ is a natural command to take her as a mate, right?” Inuyasha muttered to himself. Shaking his head a little and he walked down the stares to the living room. Seeing Kagome sitting there flicking threw channels on the T.V with a beer in her hand.

He couldn’t help but hope that Mizu brought the rest of the group home soon.
