InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Beautiful Rain ❯ The Meadows ( Chapter 6 )

Beautiful Rain

Author's note- Okay, I have a few things to say. (1) Congrats to Ziana for correctly guessing what anime Aoshi was from. He's from Rurouni Kenshin (and I made him way out of character for this story!!). (2) If you didn't like the *ahem* scene *ahem* in chapter 4, please don't flame me for it. I got two flames for it, saying I "have a sick, perverted, twisted" mind. Excuse me, but it's written in the actual book that way!! >_< So don't flame me cuz of it! and finally, (3) Kagome isn't pregnant!

Disclaimer- "Inuyasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale" belongs to Rumiko Takahashi, Viz Comics, and Sunrise. This fiction is based (heavily) on the story line of V.C. Andrews' novel, "Midnight Whispers".

Chapter 6

The Meadows

"Kagome, can I get some more colored pencils and paper?" Souta asked. I shook my head. We barely had enough money as it was, and we needed the rest for the way to The Meadows. "Why not?"

"We need the money for the trip," I said. Inuyasha winked at Souta.

"Don't worry, I have a little extra. I'll just get him a deck of cards," Inuyasha said. God, if I ever marry him, I hope he's not like that for our kids. They'd be spoilt rotten. I gave him a flat-panned look, as he bought a cheap deck of cards for Souta. We bought our tickets to Virginia, and waited on the benches. I was watching Inuyasha and Souta play Euchre and Poker until the announcement that our bus had arrived.

It took nearly into the afternoon when we reached a different bus station in Virginia. Inuyasha had taught Souta about five more card games, and I was so tired I couldn't keep my eyes open.

"You all right, Kag?" Inuyasha asked me. I nodded, half-heartedly, as I dragged myself to keep up with them. After a few minutes of watching me try to walk, Inuyasha sighed, and wrapped his arms around my waist and helped me walk. "Let's find a taxi or something, okay?"

"All right," I said, sleepily. Souta smirked at me, as he shuffled his cards again.

Inuyasha gave Souta a look, and he picked me up, bridal style. "Haven't you slept yet?" He asked. We walked over to the sidewalk, and waved for a taxi. One drove up.

"Not yet..." I murmured.

"Excuse me, sir," Inuyasha said. "How much is it to get to the Meadows?"

"You mean those farms outside town? Fifty bucks," The driver answered. Inuyasha counted our money. We had only twenty. "Although, it's on the way home for me, and this'll be my last stop. I'll only ask for ten."

"Thank you so much," Inuyasha said, putting me in the backseat, and putting Souta in with him.

"No problem," the driver said. "So, who do ya know at the Meadows?"

"Uh... an aunt and uncle of her's," Inuyasha said, pointing at me. Okay, that was the biggest lie I ever heard escape from his lips. Kouga is most definately NOT my uncle. And Ayame is one of my best friends, she's NOT my aunt.

"Oh? The Ookamis?" The driver asked. "I know them. Kouga's a nice man." Uh... are they talking about the same Kouga who tried to beg Mom to marry me when I was four? (a/n- In this story, Kouga's about twenty, so he's four years older than Kagome. He's not a pervert like Naraku!)

"Yeah, that's them," I answered, leaning my head against Inuyasha's shoulder. The driver seemed to leave us alone for the twenty minutes it took us to get there. I must've fallen asleep, because I remember Inuyasha shaking me lightly.

"C'mon, Kagome. The driver said he can't take us farther. The road will rip his tires," He told me. I must've gotten a slight jolt of energy.

"All right," I said. "Thank you, so much." The driver nodded, and took the ten dollars from Inuyasha, and drove off when all of us got out. Inuyasha again put an arm around my shoulders, and Souta held my hand as we walked down the street.

"How far until we get there, Inuyasha?" Souta asked. "Cuz my legs are tired."

"I think five minutes, from what the driver told me," Inuyasha answered. "You all right, Kagome?" Now, why does everyone continue to think that something's wrong with me?

"I'm fine, Inuyasha," I answered, smiling softly.

"Ew, be mushy somewhere else," Souta grimaced. I laughed, and ruffled his black hair. "Hey, Kagome!"

"What?"

"Isn't that the Meadows?" Souta asked, pointing.

"I think it is. Is there any lights on?" I asked. Inuyasha squinted.

"None that I can see."

"It looks like Dracula's castle," Souta said, shivering. The farmhouse we were standing in front of did look a lot like that castle in the movie "Dracula". I shivered a little, and Inuyasha held me tighter.

"Scared?" He whispered in my ear. I looked at him dead in the eyes, and said, "Hell, yeah, I'm scared." He laughed... that is, until we heard shooting.

Someone was shooting at us!

"Damn kids! Get the fuck away from our house!" Someone's voice was yelling. Souta screamed.

"Kouga?" I asked. "Is that you?" I recognized the voice. And, Kouga's basically the only one I know who's favorite word must be "fuck". I have no idea why...

"Who's there?" Kouga's voice asked from the house. I waved, and a light appeared.

"It's me, Kagome!" No response. "Rika Higurashi's daughter!"

"KAGOME!!" In a swift movement, Kouga hugged me real tight. I don't even think I could breathe. "I knew you'd return! Who the fuck is this?" He scowled at Inuyasha, who scowled right back.

"I'm Kagome's boyfriend," Inuyasha said, pulling me out of Kouga's grasp.

"Is this fucker for real, Kagome?" Kouga asked.

"Uh... he is my boyfriend, Kouga," I answered. I couldn't see it, but I could FEEL Inuyasha's smirk.

"Oh well. What's his name?"

"My name is Inuyasha," Inuyasha said.

"My name's Kouga, Inu-kuro," Kouga said, smirking. I knew exactly what he said, since I was taking Japanese for an extra language in school.

"KOUGA! You take that back!" I yelled.

"What did he say?" Inuyasha whispered.

"He called you dog crap," I whispered back. Inuyasha roared. I mean, he literally roared.

"Fucking wolf," Inuyasha yelled back.

"Stop!" I yelled. "Quit it, both of you!" I was getting ticked off at them, and I was sure that Souta was learning a few new words.

"Hey, Kagome? What does fu-" Souta was about to say, before I clamped a hand over his mouth.

"You don't need to know that yet, Souta," I answered. "And I would prefer if you didn't repeat it. Kouga, do you have any extra rooms we can use?"
