Chapter Fourteen: Thanks



Kagome groaned as she squinted at the buzzing alarm clock. Smacking the top of it with her hand, she killed the annoying buzzing that was hinting ever so politely that it was time to wake her ass up. God, and it’s only Tuesday…

Scrubbing a hand over her face, Kagome slid out of the bed and stumbled towards the bathroom. She flipped on the light and blinked away the sudden pain that assaulted her still tired eyes. She took a look in the mirror and tilted her head to one side. I look like Hell. Yeah, you do. I’m not in the mood for your ass this early in the morning. She focused on her reflection once more and sighed. She looked tired. Worn out.

Stupid Inuyasha, making me fall in love with him.

Yes, you love him; I don’t see what the damn problem is with that!

Well for starters, I’ve only known the man less than a week and I’ve already fallen in love with him! That’s NOT NORMAL!

Pfft, normal is over-rated.

Whatever, I’m sure he thinks I’m a complete basket case now anyway.

You’ll never know unless you give him a chance.

But what if he doesn’t want to give
me a chance? I don’t think my heart could take that.

Hey, give me a little credit at least, huh?

Kagome sighed and shook her head. Shucking her clothes, she stepped into the shower and let the hot water wash over her body. I don’t know what to do…


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~


Inuyasha cracked on eye open to stare at the clock beside his bed. Kagome should be awake by now…

Don’t even think about it baka.

What?

Don’t try to pull the innocent act Inuyasha, you know it won’t work.

Feh, I was just wondering.

Well stop wondering, cuz unless she comes lookin for you, you ain’t layin eyes on her ‘till you have a little talk with her pal Miroku.

Inuyasha groaned and rolled over onto his back. I know goddamnit. It’s just fucking hard. She could be deciding right this moment that I’m not worth the fucking trouble I cause…and then…Fuck. Pressing the heels of his hands against his closed eyes, Inuyasha growled deep in his throat. Kicking the blankets away he sat up in the bed and swept his golden gaze around the sparse room. She should be here with me right now damnit. It’s my fucking fault that she’s not.

His ears pricked towards his bedroom door and he lifted his nose to sniff the air. Half sighing, half growling, Inuyasha stalked across the room and yanked the door open, glaring into his brother’s stoic face.

“Something you want Sesshoumaru?”

“You….have no coffee.”

“What the fuck? I just bought a whole bag of the shit!”

“Be that as it may….You have no coffee.”

“Fuck Fluffy you’re here three days and you’ve already demolished my coffee supply?” Sesshoumaru crossed his arms over his chest and gave his little brother a look of absolute boredom. Inuyasha mimicked his pose, copying the bored look perfectly.

“Drink orange juice.” Sesshoumaru’s nose wrinkled in disgust.

“You know I despise that shit.”

“So have some milk.”

“I’ve seen you drink from the carton Inuyasha. Do you honestly think I would drink after your backwash?”

“Oi! I don’t fucking backwash!” Inuyasha shoved past his brother and walked to the kitchen, with said brother right behind him.

“I am not drinking after you.”

“Keh, drink tap water then asshole.” Inuyasha rummaged through the fridge and pulled out an apple. Perching himself on top of the counter-top he sunk his fangs into the peeling and bit off a hunk of fruit.

Inuyasha.” Swallowing the chunk mid-chew, Inuyasha sent an incredulous glance at Sesshoumaru.

“What the hell do you want me to do Sessh? Go out and buy you some goddamn coffee? Bullshit. Drive your lazy ass to the store and get it yourself. I swear you’ve been catered to for too damn long.”

“Inuyasha.” Slamming the apple on the counter-top, Inuyasha refrained from hurtling the fruit at his brother’s head.

What?!” Sesshouramu walked forward and plucked the apple from the counter and took a bite out of it before tossing it back to the surprised hanyou.

“You’re welcome.”

Inuyasha tilted his head curiously before it dawned on him. “…Thanks Sesshy.” Thanks for takin’ my mind off her, even for a few moments.

“Stupid, stupid, stupid, STUPID!” Hauling on a pair of faded jeans and a white blouse, Kagome scoured her room for a pair of shoes. How the fuck do I do this to myself?

That’s what you get for spending an hour day dreaming in the shower baka.

Words of encouragement would be helpful here!

Um…Hurry your ass up before you’re late for work…again?

Bitch.

…You’re shoes are under your bed.

Thank you!
Dropping to her hands and knees Kagome yanked her boots out from under her bed and pulled them on. Snatching her purse from the nightstand, she spared a glance at the alarm clock and groaned.

Mentally kicking herself in the ass again, Kagome ran out of the bedroom and halted in the middle of the living room. I’m forgetting something.

Yeah the an-

Keys!

No! The ans-

No time, I’ll check it when I get home.

But…Fine.

Grabbing her keys from the kitchen table, Kagome checked her purse to make sure she had her cell phone. Everything there and accounted for, she rushed out the apartment door and down the hallway. Inside the empty apartment, the red light continued to blink on her answering machine.

A/N: Yeah, I know this is really short and all…But I’ve got exams coming up and I figured ya’ll would appreciate a shorty now, rather than a long one 3 weeks from now.

Much love to Trinity_K for her reviews. She’s the only one who’s ever come close to flaming me, and I gotta appreciate that. SPEAKING OF REVIEWS: Come on guys, 3 reviews for the last 4 chapters? Not exactly great motivation if you know what I mean. XD L8er bunnehs
