InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Attempted Fouls ❯ Dropping the Bomb ( Chapter 2 )

Attempted Fouls

By: Chibi-Suiko

A/N: This will be the second part to my snail-pacing InuYasha/Kagome romance 'Attempted Fouls'. I don't know much about this, that's why it's so slow... Stick with me though because even though it will be a while I'm working on getting this thing finished and if you all truly love me then you'll live with the suspense, kick back, and wait like the loyal Inu-Chan romance fans that you are! Oh, and for those of you who had questions for the title, it was last minute so I understand if you don't understand. Period.

Disclaimer: Sorry to say this but I only watch the show. Please join in my sorrow.

Summary: Kagome loves InuYasha and she has one heck of a plan to see if he likes her as well. She fakes a marriage with a friend to see what his reaction will be. At first, he doesn't seem that fazed but how long will it take for his facade to crumble?

_______________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________

Ages are as follows:

Kagome: 19

InuYasha: 23 (By sight, he looks that old... **Sweatdrop**)

Miroku: 24

Sango: 21

Shippou: 09 (Again, by sight...)

She'd been acting very strange ever since she'd returned from that damned time of hers. She seemed so dainty and jittery and just kind of drunk in happiness. Of course, for her, that was normal... But she smelt different too. It wasn't like that one time a month where she always seemed so crabby in front of everyone (He'd never understand women in that sense) but she certainly had a feverishly dreamy air about her. And he hated it. The happiness he was smelling was not of his taste. He wanted it gone but he knew that he couldn't make her get rid of such an aroma. That didn't seem like an easily attainable goal for them (Or for her, anyway).

He didn't know how but he'd decided to confront her about it. That was the only way that he'd even know what was making her so wistful, vague to the happenings around her. He couldn't have her acting like that on a mission, it wasn't possible. She'd put the whole group into jeopardy.

" Keh, never worth the trouble, the Wench that she is..." He growled but walked toward her just the same. She was lulling about in a quiet field of flowers, humming and creating a small crown out of the nature around her. She turned when she heard him approaching her, shoving past all of the beauty in his wake but rather than reprimand him for destroying such things, she merely turned back with a growing smile.

He blew his stress through his mouth to get her attention, "You and me. Talk. Now." He knew where that would get him, in a crater towards the center of the planet, as she 'sat' him dozens upon dozens of times, but her grin only widened as though she'd been waiting for him to say those words.

" Yes InuYasha, what is it?" She said and made proper by showing her diamond encrusted ring into the bright sunlight so that he'd catch the glimmer and take notice of its presence. She had to make everything look convincing enough for him to believe, or at least understand.

" What the Hell do you think you're doing, prancing around like you've got the time?! What's with the attitude and--What in the Seven Hells is that?!" And he nodded his head fiercely to the small dainty jewel on her finger.

" Well, I've got some big news and I suppose that you and the others should be the first ones to know about it--Besides my family, I mean." And she skipped back toward Keade's where the other members of their party were waiting for them.

He only scoffed again and followed her silently, too intent on thinking over her abrupt answer to argue with her leaving him behind.

" So, what's the big deal with this little gathering, do you have some news Kagome-Sama?" Miroku asked intriguingly and Sango eyed her female companion with a confused expression.

" As a matter of fact, I do..." Kagome replied, and her eyes traveled over InuYasha in all of his furious glory, "I'm getting married."

" Yeah! That's great Kagome!" Shippou shouted in glee.

" It really is wonderful." Sango said with a congratulating smile.

Miroku clapped his hands, "Let's celebrate. I'll get the Sake. Would you like to accompany me, Sango-San?"

She replied by smacking him as his hand moved in her direction.

" Wait." InuYasha said sternly, "What's 'married'?"

The others sat back down.

" Oh, that's right... What is this 'married' thing anyway, Kagome-San?" Sango implored.

" Uh... Well, let's see... I suppose it's more along the lines of--uh--'mating' in this Time." She immediately noticed InuYasha's ears perk up as though his interest on the topic had been magnified a hundred-fold.

" Oh, really?" Miroku grinned, also watching InuYasha, "And who just happens to be the lucky man?"

" You mean that you actually--" InuYasha began as though he was worried.

" No." Kagome corrected herself, "Maybe, it's more along the lines of a pre-taken step. You get married and then you have the right to--uh--"

"-- We understand." Sango nodded, "So, what do you do at this--?"

" Well, during marriage there's a ceremony, and guests will arrive to celebrate with you, there's gifts and cake, music and everyone just has a really good time." She ended simply enough for them to understand.

" It sounds really great Kagome, can we come?" Shippou pleaded with her.

" Of course, what kind of party would it be without my friends? We'll just have to dress you up nicely and try to hide the tail..." She wondered.

" Why?" He asked her.

" Many people from my time aren't used to that type of thing and won't react as kindly as my family did when they met InuYasha. They were only so fond because they'd lived around stories like that their entire lives. My Grandpa made sure of it."

" What about me?" Sango asked.

" We'll find you a nice dress and maybe do something with your hair... You'll have to look really nice because this is one of the higher-class festivities."

" And me?" Miroku grinned.

" We won't have to worry much about anything accept caging you away from the women that will be there."

" Oh, there are women, are there?"

" --I don't like it--" InuYasha scowled.

" Well, you don't have to go." Kagome sniffed, "But it would mean a lot if you did. And Souta has been asking about you often."

" That brother of yours?"

" Mmm hmm."

" I like him, he knows how to insult a girl who deserves it." But then InuYasha thought it over, "Though the gaki is rather annoying..."

" InuYasha, I'd sit--"

***Bang*** He was sent face first into the ground at her command. She laughed lightly and crawled over to him.

" --Gomen about that, InuYasha. I'm going to have to learn to be more careful. After this whole ordeal, I'm promising you now that your necklace will be removed."

" Why so sudden?" He grumbled as if she were breaking up with him.

" Well..." She grinned cautiously, "I can't very well wander off out here once I've gotten my new life set up. I don't plan on telling him about you guys. He might not understand."

" You mean..." InuYasha began, panicked, "That once you have this weddy-thing, you'll be too busy to come back anymore..?!"

A/N: Short chapters are the greatest and easiest in the world. So simple, how you can type fifty lines, end it with a cliffy, and be done with it... Anyway, this chappie is over (Though I'm guessing that you all ready knew that). I've never done it before but I'm actually thinking of putting a lime/lemon in here later on, waaayyyyyyy later on. It'll at least be a lime scene. Nice and citrus-y for your enjoyment. Now I just have to think of a way to bring it around...
