Chapter Twenty-One: Relaxation for some, irritation for others.
InuYasha cried out in shock when he was dragged face first into the ground by the rosary around his neck. The hanyou didn’t realize that it was there until she uttered that one word that sent gooseflesh crawling over his skin. Many different curses spilled from his lips as he struggled to get up, but none were able to curve the steadily rising anger in his stomach. It was a while until the rosary let him stand again, however, by the time Kagome was already long gone down the bone eater’s well. He had followed her scent to make sure she hadn’t gotten far, but she was already out of sight and the only was to bring her back was to go down the well and drag her stubborn ass back.
As tempting as it sounded to InuYasha, he wasn’t too keen on going into the well after the last incident. No matter how angry he was at her for “sitting” him, the hanyou wouldn’t jump down the old well ‘from hell’. TO say he was just plain stubborn was an understatement as he crossed his arms defiantly over his chest and turned his back on the well, snubbing it as if it were a real person. He wasn’t going to let Kagome get the best of him! Determined to wait her out, InuYasha plopped down on the green grass and narrowed his amber eyes, he would remain vigil until the ‘bitch’ decided to quit her tantrum.
Minutes passed by slowly and on more than one occasion did the hanyou burst into sneezing fits, Kagome was cursing him and it only made his temper flare even more. He grumbled the day away like it was nothing and even though his stomach protested his actions as well as his legs, the hanyou refused to move from his spot. He would be sure to show her that he wasn’t a push over, that he couldn’t be easily taken advantage of. Miroku had come and gone, his unsuccessful attempts to get the hanyou to either come back to the village or preferably go after Kagome were ignored and left on deaf ears. The hanyou had his mind set, but how long would he last?
~~oOo~~
Sango sighed almost overdramatically as she watched Miroku tread home without Kagome and InuYasha. Kaede had been the one to inform them about the little quarrel the hanyou and miko had and it honestly couldn’t have happened at a worse time. Naraku had been resurrected and Miroku’s wind tunnel resurfaced, which gave Sango and her family so much more than an evil hanyou to worry about. There was a large possibility that her husband could be consumed by his wind tunnel and their only son would have to carry the same burden that all the houshi’s before him had to, it was devastating to say the least.
The needle work that Sango had tried to teach her eldest daughter was left unfinished due to frustration and was angrily thrown across the hut. She didn’t know why she started such feminine habits when she and every other damn person in the village knew that they wouldn’t stick, she just wasn’t woman material. Telling her daughter to run along, the demon exterminator took a skeptical glance at her youngest daughter before taking the small child into her arms and leaving the small hut, she needed fresh air. Heading to where Miroku stood talking to Kaede, Sango tried to clear all her angry thoughts from her mind, she had to find something more productive to do, like maim a certain hanyou or maybe take Kirara for a ride. Something to release her pent up energy.
“Sango my love,” Miroku sang as he kissed the tip of her nose, his blue eyes trying to give her reassurance. “Kagome has gone through the well and from the looks of it, InuYasha had the ‘sit’ of his life. He thinks he can wait her out by sitting in front of the bone eater’s well like a fool.”
“How long do you think he’ll last until he realizes he’s not going to win with some childish antic?” She asked letting a small smile purse her lips, Miroku always knew how to put her in a slightly better mood.
“I’ll give him until tomorrow night the latest,” the monk laughed taking Ayumi into his arms. “Tonight earliest, the stubborn ass.”
~~oOo~~
Kagome grumbled to herself as she climbed out of the bone eater’s well. She felt almost like a teenager again, but she quickly tossed those thoughts from her mind, she was nothing like her teenaged self. She had grown up for the better. Dusting herself off half-heartedly, Kagome left the mini-shrine and headed in the direction of her empty house, she needed a bath and probably a nice stiff drink to go with it. Sighing heavily Kagome haphazardly pulled the clothes from her body and trekked up her stairs in only her undergarments, it wasn’t like she was expecting anyone to come to her place anytime soon so it didn’t matter if she tossed her clothing on the floor for a bit.
Going to the bathroom, Kagome reached the knobs and turned on the shower, her eyes sparkling in delight at the sight of the hot water pouring like rain from the showerhead, in door plumbing was a godsend. Stripping off the rest of her clothing, she hesitantly climbed into the shower, directly under the water spout. The hot water stung her skin, but in the end it was rewarding. A groan of pleasure escaped her throat as she grabbed a near by bottle of shampoo and started the simple task of washing her hair, it was something she has missed. Despite her own mental protests, Kagome quickly scrubbed her skin until it was pink before turning off the water and reluctantly leaving the comforts of her precious shower with only a large towel to cover her nudge and wet body.
“Oh relaxing shower how much I took you for granted in the past!” she said dramatically as a farewell while walking down the hall to her bedroom.
The sight of her room wasn’t as appealing as she’d originally believed it would be, but none the less she found a pair of old sweatpants and a t-shirt to wear. Dressing seemed to be the easiest thing she’d done in days and after tossing her hair into a ponytail, Kagome jumped on her bed and embraced her pillow with vigor until a fading scent caught her nose. It was the masculine smell of InuYasha from when he’d slept there.
Kagome sighed heavily as she rose from her comfortable bed, there was no way that she was going to be able to relax when she could plainly smell him on her bed. She would have to wash her sheets later. She was pretty sure that by now she didn’t have a job anymore, but it didn’t seem to bother her, Kagome never liked her job anyway. Heading out of her room and down the stairs, Kagome could smell the intoxicating aroma of coffee that waited for her in the kitchen. Her stomach decided to grumble at that moment and she found herself laughing sheepishly, she didn’t remember the last time she had actually eaten anything.
Opening a few cupboards she found nothing really to her interest, so giving up she pulled the box of “Cocoa pebbles” out and lazily made herself a bowl of cereal. It wasn’t the breakfast of champions, but she had to admit that it was better than nothing, besides, it was mostly chocolate so who was she to complain. Eventually taking her cereal and cup of steaming coffee into the living room, she set them down and groped around for the remote. What was better to watch while eating chocolate cereal other than cartoons? Time was wasted as she ate her food and sipped her drink, she had no other plans for the day, so being a couch potato fit in perfectly not that she really minded.
The empty bowl was forgotten after a while as well with half empty coffee mug as Kagome focused most of her attention on the television screen. IT sure didn’t take long for her to become bored with the shows, but none the less she continued to watch the screen. The day went by like it had when she ws a small child, not leaving the comfort of her couch unless it was to either use the restroom or to make herself something to eat, but her cartoon watching only lasted a few hours until she became restless and switched it to something more than a half hour long. The old movies kept her company for the remainder of the day and well into the night. Her legs had fallen asleep a few times, yet not long after her eyes closed and it was her turn.
~~oOo~~
To say that he was bored was more than a passing statement, but InuYasha wouldn’t let Kagome win, he ws still fixed on waiting her out. The blades of grass surrounding him were almost gone, he had been pulling them out one by one for a couple of hours, but quit when he realized that his hands had become wet. Night had fallen a while back and the hanyou was coming up empty handed on things to do to keep himself buys and just keeping himself busy was a task all of its own. Silently working the kinks from his neck, he let his amber eyes survey his surroundings, he was wasting his time waiting for Kagome to come back when he should have been spending it looking for Naraku.
There were probably a million reasons why Naraku had yet to come out in the open, but the evil hanyou’s actions unnerved InuYasha, they were uncalculating, and nothing like his enemies “plan and conquer” routine. Maybe Naraku himself became bored with the usual defeat so he’d been desperate for anything and InuYasha smirked at the very thought. Stretching out his tired limbs, the hanyou glared angrily at the bone eater’s well, he had the feeling that if he didn’t go after Kagome now, she wasn’t going to return and it made his blood boil. Going against his earlier judgments, InuYasha stomped to the well before jumping in, he had decided then that he wasn’t going to let Kagome act like a spoiled brat. He wanted to put her in her place, but he had no clue how to go about doing it just yet.
At first InuYasha was greeted by the eerie warmth of the blue light that surrounded him after it faded and he jumped out of the well he could feel the gooseflesh crawling up his arms. There were things that he had yet to understand about the “dreams” he had but the faint smell of powder, blood, and death made him uneasy for many different reasons. Swallowing the lump of nervousness, the hanyou walked out of the little shrine hiding the well and followed Kagome’s scent, he would show her who was boss.
~~oOo~~
Miroku thought long and hard about everything that had come to pass not even a few minutes before. The monk did not understand that even though he had won the bet with Sango about InuYasha going to fetch Kagome, he had somehow agreed to give his wife a non-sexual massage and make dinner for a week. Sure it’s true that he’ do just about anything for his beautiful wife, but how it was possible for her to manipulate him in a way that overwhelmed his senses was just playing dirty. Miroku recalled her laughter at his proclaiming Sango as an unfair player but she just smiled and replied with “it’s not unfair to use someone’s weakness against them. It’s common sense.” He however believed what she did to him to be in the category of cruel and unusual punishments for winning.
Cooking dinner for his family wasn’t seen as a dreary task, but something he looked forward to as Sango tended to heir youngest daughter. The monk couldn’t help but smile at the precious gift he was given, he couldn’t have asked for more, hell he wouldn’t dared to think about it. Letting a smile purse his lips as he stirred the stew, Miroku kept his eyes on his two other hell raisers as they argued about childish and petty things. Sango had asked him if they could be trained in the demon exterminator ways and at first he had hesitated. He didn’t want his and Sango’s kids growing up like they did, but it only seemed stupid to not give them some kind of defense against the evil that may come to when they were adults. Knock on wood of course.
Agreeing with her, Miroku proposed a compromise, they both would teach them together. Sango dealing with what she did best and Miroku his own. It was better to have both of two worlds than nothing at all. Trying to keep his spirits high seemed almost difficult as he glanced at the blue cloth covering his right hand, the prayer beads indicating that he didn’t have the time that he and Sango both believed and together they prayed that they would defeat Naraku sooner than later so that Sango wouldn’t have to watch him die and in return placing his family’s curse on their only son.
