InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Falling For the Baby Sitter ❯ Play of Fear ( Chapter 59 )

Inu Yasha walked in the door a few hours later in his sweats. He was hot and sticky and his hair stuck to his face because of the sweat. "Yo, I'm home," he called out as he dropped his bag on the couch.

Kagome looked up from her seat curled up on the couch and shushed him.

It was evident that her hair was still drying from playing with the kids in the pool and pulled up in a pony tail. Her huge white shirt had a pictured of a scary looking cat on it, and she was wearing somebody's sweat pants that she was positively swimming in.

"The kid's are in bed now. They were exhausted from playing in the pool," she said.

A long silence from the television, followed by a hoarse whispering, "Seven days" made Kagome whip her head back around to the television to watch her movie. She was curled up on the couch with a pillow clutched to her chest.

Inu Yasha flopped down onto the couch beside of her. "Don't think I have ever seen this movie before," he said quietly.

She giggled and shifted position to give him some more room. "Do you want me to start it over? It's the Ring."

He shook his head as he looked at the TV. "No, I have to get a shower."

The girl wrinkled her nose in his direction and sniffed. "No joke."

Inu Yasha wrinkled his nose too. "Yeah, I know, I had a good work out today. Ran three miles, lifted weights and did the leg press." He sighed. "I will be sore tomorrow."

She laughed. "Your dinner is in the fridge. Kouga called to tell you he had to work all this week, but would try to stop by some time day after tomorrow. Your mom called too, she said something about Nazuna's boyfriend's birthday was coming up and she wanted you to help her decorate for the party they wanted to throw."

Inu Yasha rolled his eyes. "God, I can't get a break, what so ever." He stood up and stretched. "I'm getting a shower." Inu Yasha pulled off his sweat shirt and walked down the hall towards the bathroom.

Kagome laughed and settled back against the couch, but instead of returning to the TV screen, her eyes landed on Inu Yasha's adorable ass. She blushed, then giggled and ducked her head.

Inu Yasha walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower, letting the water get hot as he undressed. He opened the shower curtain and stepped inside letting the hot water ease the tension out of his muscles.

The door of the bathroom opened very slowly, and very quietly, and a certain sneaky body made her way over to the shower, the raising up on tip toe to dump a cup of ice cold water right onto Inu Yasha.

Inu Yasha yelled as the cold water hit his back. "What in the fucking hell?!" He threw open the shower curtain and gave a murderous glare. "You're so dead."

Kagome stood there giggle and flashed him a wink. "Oh, I am, am I?"

He snarled. "You could have killed me, woman. I could have slipped and cracked my head."

"And you could be a bit quieter, considering the kids are sleeping."

"You dumped freezing water down my back and you're telling me to be quiet." Inu Yasha seethed as he stepped out of the shower.

The girl blushed slightly and took a step back. "That's what I did, isn't it?"

He reached over and grabbed the towel from the counter and tied it around his waist. "Well hell yeah that's what you did," he shot at her.

Kagome slapped her hand over her mouth and listened closely for any signs of movement next door. Sighing in relief she looked up at him. "Will you please keep it down?"

Inu Yasha growled and moved past her. "Fine, I'm shutting up," he said as he went into his room.

She sighed and followed him. "Do you always have to be such a baby?"

He stood next to the bed pulling on some red boxers. The boy glared over at her. ''You scared the hell out of me, Kagome."

The girl giggled and looked up at him. "Yea... it gets me all hot and bothered when you scream like that."

He snorted as he pulled on some jean shorts that came down to right above his knee. "Yeah, I figured you would be the screamer," Inu Yasha said in a snide tone.

"You never know," she said, waggling her eyebrows at him.

Inu Yasha sighed as he pulled on a white wife beater. "Oh please. What did you fix for dinner any how?"

Kagome stretched and folded her arms behind her head, closing her eyes. "Blue cheese casserole."

He wrinkled his nose. "A what?!" he asked.

Outrageous laughter erupted from her mouth as she looked up at him. "I'm just kidding. It's just steak and mashed potatoes with some carrots."

He sighed. "Thank God." Inu Yasha walked past her and down the hall to raid the fridge and Kagome stayed back in the bedroom and stared up at the ceiling, listening to the crickets chirp as night rolled in.

Inu Yasha took his dinner from the fridge and popped it into the microwave to warm it up. He stood in front of the microwave watching it and waiting for the food to warm up. A shriek came from his back bedroom, shattering the silence of the house.

Inu Yasha jumped, startled. "Kagome, are you ok?!" he called out as he ran down the hall to his room.

The girl was back up to the head of the bed and she was cowering back from a daddy long-legs crawling across the comforter, closer and closer to her feet. "Kill it!!" she whimpered.

Inu Yasha blinked. "Kill what?" he asked.

She pointed frantically at the spider. "That thing crawling towards me like it wants a bite out of me!!!"

The boy looked at the long legs and then back to her. "You have got to be fucking kidding me."

She whimpered again and scooted up more. "Inu-kun, please!" she begged, tears coming to her eyes.

Inu Yasha sighed and walked over to the bed and picked it up. He looked at her with an evil glint in his eye.

Kagome noticed the glint and shook her head desperately. "Nonononononono. Don't EVEN!"

He jumped on the bed and smirked. "Pay back's a bitch!" he said as he moved towards her.

Tears of absolute terror welled in her eyes. "Please, Inu Yasha, that's not even funny!" she yelped, unable to back away anymore.

"It wasn't funny what you did to me, either," he said as he stuck the hand containing the little critter out towards her.

"No! No, it wasn't, Inu, PLEASE!" she cried, flattening herself against the wall.

Inu Yasha smirked as he dropped it down her shirt. "Oh my, I dropped it!" he said as he darted off the bed and ran down the hall.

A scream of bloody murder came from Kagome and minutes later she came down the hall, this time with out a shirt, to dart behind Inu Yasha, panting heavily and shaking. The boy went wide eyed and ran out into the yard, heading for a large tree. He climbed up into the limbs and was ready to ride out the storm.

A low growl Kagome released rumbled the house. She came stormed out moments later with a gun in her hand, and a murderous look in her eye. She stopped under the tree and aimed the be-be gun at Inu Yasha's ass.

Inu Yasha yelled, "Don't you fucking dare!"

She grinned wickedly and pumped the gun, firing it to take off the bark on the tree, just to the right of Inu Yasha's butt.

He growled. "You do it, and I will leave!"

Kagome lowered the gun and turn around, walking into the house.

Inu Yasha sighed as he wrapped his legs around the trees limb and flipped over so he could hang upside down. The girl huffed and sat back down to watch her movie, silent as a tomb, and glaring at the TV. Aggravated he dropped to the ground with a loud thump and a groan, causing Kagome to lean over the back of the couch and lift the blind to see what the noise was. Inu Yasha sat on the ground, rubbing his head, grumbling to himself. A smirk played over her lips as she turned around to burn holes into the screen with her eyes again.

Inu Yasha got up and walked back into the house grumbling about a head ache and walked over to the microwave to get his dinner. Kagome hugged her arms around her knees tightly, and sat as her thoughts boiled with a double helping of irritation. Thy equally irritated boy took his plate and sat down at the table to eat his dinner, while the girl stared intently at the screen, not noticing as she got lost in the movie, and then jumped when the girl touched the woman.

Kagome's employer sat there, eating his steak and looking at the paper that was on the table when all of a sudden something snapped against his forehead.

Inu Yasha scowled and didn't bother to look up. "What now?"

"Are you always this much of an asshole after you work out?"

He shrugged as he shoveled food into his mouth.

A pair of eyes shot daggers at him. "Why in the hell are you pouting, you're the one who stuck the fucking spider down my shirt!"

"And you're the one that started it with the ice water," he stated. "So don't get pissy because you can't take what you dish out."

Kagome just took a deep breath and tried to soothe her ruffled feathers. "Sorry."

Inu Yasha sighed. "Me too," he said quietly as he finished dinner.

The girl stood and walked over to clear his plate and finish the dishes.

The man stretched which caused his shoulders to pop rather loud and then got up from the table. "I think I'm gonna go to bed, or do something, I don't know what," he mumbled.

She nodded slowly, trying to think of something to say to get him to stay, but unable to find anything plausible.

Inu Yasha trudged down the hall to his room and fell onto his bed. "Ahhh, this bed feels so good," he said with a yawn.

Kagome put the dishes away and moved out of the kitchen. She flipped off the TV, and then moved to her bedroom. The girl paused at her door for a moment, then ducked her head and went in closing the door.

Inu Yasha fell asleep on top of the blankets and with one leg hanging off the bed while snoring. The girl spent about an hour trying to tolerate the noise but finally got up and walked into his room and pinched his nose. His face wrinkled and he then rolled over onto his stomach. Kagome paused for a minute, holding her breath, hoping he wouldn't start again. Inu Yasha grumbled in his sleep and raised his hand and punched the bed, and she leapt back in surprise and bumped into his stereo.

The radio flipped on as Metallica pounded out through the speakers. Inu Yasha started and fell off the bed landing on his head with his feet in the air. The girl started giggling as she dashed about trying to turn the music down and off. After accomplishing it, she looked down and crouched next to him. "Are you ok?"

He looked up at her from his odd position in the floor. "Do I look ok?" he growled out.

Reaching out she carefully helped him out of his intriguing predicament. He had to shake his head to get his ears to stop ringing and he felt semi cross-eyed.

"Are you ok, now?"

He nodded. "Yeah just my ears are ringing, that's all."

Kagome laughed softly. "You startled me and I hit the stereo."

Inu Yasha sighed. "It's ok," he said as he lay back onto the bed. "Go ahead and get some sleep before the kids wake up."

She shrugged. "They aren't going to sleep for a while, besides, I'm on snore patrol."

He rolled over onto his side and closed his eyes. "Do what you want to, then," he said with a yawn.

Kagome leaned over and brushed her lips against his gently. "If I did that, you'd have to be awake and it looks like you're pretty tired," she said softly.

Inu Yasha snorted. "Yeah, yeah, whatever," he said sleepily.

She smiled and rocked back into the chair, watching him as he fell asleep. He slept on the far left side of the bed with one leg hanging off the bed and one arm above his head. His long black hair fanned out over the bed taking up almost half of the bed. Giggling, she shook her head, then stood up and walked out into the kitchen to disappear for a while in her bottle of rum she had stashed away. Inu Yasha rolled over onto this stomach sleeping peacefully. His face, slack with sleep, made him appear peaceful and calm. It wouldn't last long.

Kagome stumbled into the room a while later and then straightened herself. She peered about the dark cavern and eyed the boy lying on the bed. Shakily, she walked across the floor and eased her knee onto the bed and ran the tip of her nose along the rim of his ear. He swatted at what was tickling his ear and covered his head with a pillow. The girl ducked out of the way of his hand then lay down on the bed behind him, drawing pictures on his back with her fingertip, absorbing his warmth and producing her own. The squirmed a bit from the movement on his back and she smiled and leaned forward, brushing his hair away and pressing her lips against the back of his neck and his back that wasn't covered by his shirt.

Inu Yasha opened his eyes slightly. "Huh...Kagome, is that you?" he asked as his voice cracked with sleep.

Her warm breath puffed against his skin and she laughed softly, wrapping her arms around his waist. He wrinkled his nose as he tried to clear his groggy mind.

"What is it?" he asked. She shook her head and buried her face in his hair kissing his neck, and behind his ear.

Inu Yasha blinked. "Kagome, what's wrong?"

"Why does anything have to be wrong..." she whispered softly against his ear, tightening her arms around him and drawing him closer.

He sighed. "I don't know. With me, things always go wrong."

"That's not true..." she said nuzzling his neck.

Inu Yasha snorted. "Yeah right.''

Kagome leaned up a bit and nipped his ear, slowly just barely raking her teeth against it. Inu Yasha closed his eyes and relaxed into her arms. She smiled and nuzzled his ear, reaching up to trace her fingers down his arm until she reached his hand, and drew soft circles all around it.

"Are you going to sleep in your room tonight, or are you staying here tonight?" he asked.

Her eyes parted a bit and she looked up towards his face. "Staying here, unless you want me to go."

"You can stay, I sleep better when someone is with me," Inu Yasha said as he yawned. "I always missed having someone with me when Kouga left and went home."

Kagome nodded and lay her head down on the pillow. She let her eyes drift closed and nuzzled her cheek against his shoulder.

Inu Yasha rubbed his face on the pillow and yawned again as he closed his eyes. "Good night, Kags," he muttered as began to drift off.

The girl nodded and ducked her head against his back, curling up against him.

"Night…"
