InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Foreign Exchange Orphan ❯ Eventually, Part One ( Chapter 9 )

Foreign Exchange Orphan

Chapter Nine:

Eventually, Part One

As you probably already know, Eventually has two parts. Part one focuses on the budding relationship of Inuyasha and Kagome. Part two mainly centers around Naraku and Kikyo, into their `relationship' and it reveals a little more about the Shikon no Tama, at least in my story. You will find that the title: Eventually relates to both parts.

Disclaimer: Only retards wouldn't know that I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA.

Kagome woke, with the bright rays of the sun filtering through her lashes. There was her big, pink, fluffy sheet laying on top of her, but she didn't remember putting it there herself. Shrugging, she snuggled back down to sleep, but suddenly, she heard soft snoring by the edge of her bed.

Timidly, she peered over, to see Inuyasha curled up in a ball, giving out faint, wheezing snores, ear twitching occasionally in slumber. Kagome smiled down at him, watching his now babyish looking face as he slept on. Not being able to resist, she rubbed one of his velvety ears, surrounded by his mane of white silver hair. He snorted, then peeked at her with one eye.

"Morning."

"Whatever. What time is it?" She growled at him and snatched her hand away, forgot the adorable part!

"Hmph! Wouldn't you like to know!"

"Why am I sleeping in YOUR room wench?" Kagome rolled her eyes.

"You idiot, don't you remember I was touching your ears and you fell asleep."

"Yeah right!" She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and repeated over and over, `I will not loose my temper'. Restored, she opened her eyes, but couldn't sustain a glare.

"Well, it's Saturday, what do you want to do?"

"I dunno." Inuyasha crawled into a sitting position, then rubbed his eyes.

"Do you want to go play laser tag?" His eyes lit up, though he didn't know what it meant, the word `laser' got his attention.

"What's that?"

"It when you're in this dark place, and you try and hit the other person's target with your laser gun. I saw an add for it in the newspaper, sounds like fun. You should be good at it." He couldn't suppress a smirk, and stretched his arms behind his head.

"So."

"So?"

"Get outta my room, I need to take a shower!" A blush creeping over his cheeks he quickly picked himself up off of the floor and made a hasty retreat.

Kagome quickly gathered up her supplies, a towel, some fresh clothes, a new bar of soap and some Herbal Essence Shampoo. Yawning, she made her way to the bathroom.

Inuyasha grumbled, shifting around his dark room, foraging through the lumps of clothing scattered on the floor for some clean ones. How he could tell I honestly don't know, but maybe it has to do with his good sense of smell. A gleam caught his eye. The golden trimming of his box he hadn't been able to unlock shimmered, though no light entered his room. Shrugging it off, he sprawled himself out on the bed and waited for Kagome to come out.

When she did finally emerge from her refuge, she smelt wonderful to him, and he couldn't get enough of it, and went into the bathroom while it was still warm and the mirror was still foggy from steam.

A few minutes later, after a quick shower, he stuffed his clothes on and went downstairs. Kagome was happily eating some toast and juice while Sota, still in his pjs, was falling asleep in his cereal. Buyo, the Higurashi's extremely fat cat, lay rolled up into a paunchy ball by the steps, obviously still asleep. Inuyasha prodded the lump with his shoe and went to get a pop tart.

Breakfast was a quiet affair. Ms. Higurashi looked at everyone happily, while Sota snored, making little bubbles in his milk, and Kagome crunched on her toast, seemingly deep in thought. Inuyasha, leaned back in his chair and ate in silence as well.

The bus deposited them at the New Millennium's Virtual Game Room. It was a shiny, silver metallic looking building with smooth, clear glass windows, and a dark interior. Kagome and Inuyasha walked in, slightly dazed. Glowing green and blue lights illuminated the walls, giving it a slightly eerie feel to it. Inside, there were some kids with virtual reality helmets on, some driving in souped up vehicles, some kicking thin air, others screaming in terror. The smell of food wafted from wafted from somewhere. It was hard to see, so Kagome and Inuyasha kept bumping into each other.

Suddenly, a man wearing a glow-in-the dark outfit game rushing up to them. His features were distorted from the light from his uniform.

"How may I help you?" he asked, grinning.

"We want to um…play laser tag."

"Of course, that will be twenty five dollars." Kagome mumbled some incoherent sentences, and slammed the money in the guy's outstretched palm. He pulled a mini flashlight from his pocket and handed it to her, along with a map.

"Have a nice day!" With that, he bounded away.

"OK…" Kagome's eyes shifted to the map. "If we go left, then take another right, we should get there early, so it won't be crowded." Inuyasha nodded and kept close to her.

It was sounded easy, but was the exact opposite. This Virtual Game Room was an ongoing maze, filled with twists and turns, and Kagome-can't you believe it!-got lost from Inuyasha.

"KAGOME!" They were in an empty hallway, and his voice echoed everywhere.

"Kagome…" he whispered. This place was freaky, and no doubt she would be extremely scared, though he could see in the dark. Creepy things popped out of no where, kids loud shrieks suddenly pierced the silence, making you jump out of your skin, and the dark. It clung to your skin, dimmed your vision, rendered you helpless. Sometime, Kagome dropped the flashlight, and had to grope around to get it, usually bumping her head on the wall.

She jumped, when she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist.

"Calm down, stupid girl."

"Inuyasha…" She mumbled, leaning into his touch. He had saved her! She was so scared. Kagome turned to face him, his silver hair standing out even in the darkness, she nuzzled at chest, which is where she came up to on him.

"Inuyasha," she sighed again, snuggling up against him. Glad because of the darkness, he blushed. Why was she suddenly showing so much affection?! Not that he minded, her warm little body rubbing against his, in a submissive gesture. He bend down, so his lips were almost touching hers, then suddenly, another echoing shriek made them jump back.

Blushing to the roots of their hair, they turned away from each other, until Inuyasha perked up.

"You see that?"

"LIGHT!" Entwining her small hand with his large one, she tugged him down the hall, until they winded up in a room, with a few employees milling around. They perked up when they saw them.

"Good morning. Are you here for laser tag?" (What are the odds of THAT happening, them bumbling around in the dark and finding the EXACT place that they were looking for in the beginning but I'm too sleepy and lazy to do anything else)

"Yes!"

"I see you've already paid." A girl, maybe 17 or 18 in age with brown hair and brown eyes pointed to a sticker with the Game Room's logo on it that glared from on the flashlight. "Well, grab your gear over there, and go out through that door, or would you like us to explain the rules?"

"Explain," Inuyasha muttered, while pulling out the largest gun they had and a little target looking this with a strap around it.

"You put that around your waist," the girl said. "Would you like some help?" She grinned and her eyes twinkled with mischief.

"No wench, I don't even know you!" he barked as Kagome flushed with anger. How dare she make a move on her guy! Wait! She gulped, as her blush increased. Did she just call Inuyasha HERS? Well, of course they kissed a couple of times, but that didn't make them an `item.' Clearing her throat, she turned away, fidgeting with her belt.

"Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Jenn!" (Don't forget people, this is the US! Say it with me now, US! Not Japan!)

"I don't need your help!" Inuyasha growled, eyes narrowing. Why was he being so hostile towards this girl? The other male employee stepped forwards, trying to cool down the fire that was raging between them, well let's say good fire on her side, since Jenn likes Inuyasha, and bad fire on his side she he hates her.

"Ok, here are the rules. You have your guns and your targets. The object of the game is to hit your opponent's target with your laser as many times as you can before your thirty minutes is up. Understand?" They both nodded.

"What course do you want?"

"What course…" Kagome's voice trailed off as she turned around, face normal color.

"You can choose what setting you want, like the mountains, countryside, desert, space…" Kagome turned towards Inu.

"What do you want?"

"Mountains," he grunted.

"Mountains then." The man nodded and pointed towards the door behind him with his index finger.

"Go through there." They nodded, opened the door, and walked in…only to be dumbfounded at what awaited them there.

*******************

(If I didn't like you guys so much, I would have stopped it right there! You are my FRIENDS. But since HOPEFULLY you are going to PELT me with reviews for this chapters and tell me I'm the best writer in the world and you love my story * coughs and dodges rotten fruit * I'll continue)

The room was completely black, dark and eerie with the echoing of their footfalls.

"Inuyasha…something must be wrong." Kagome practically latched herself on him, whimpering. Why was she so afraid of the dark? (You will find that out in later chapters) "We have to go back."

"Kagome…" His deep voice was soft as he held her close. Of course HE, the ALL MIGHTY POWERFUL hanyou wasn't afraid, but it felt good being relied on.

Suddenly there was a blinding flash a light. They shielded their eyes and went they opened them, they were on the peak of a high cliff, almost out over the edge. Small crops of vegetation were scarce because snow blanketed it. A few small, trees, shriveled and frozen stood against the now raging wind.

"Why is it so cold?" Kagome sneezed, teeth chattering as she rubbed her arms.

"I dunno."

"Maybe they're fans around here, but cool special effects!" Suddenly, her eyes went dark.

"Oh Inuyasha!" She batted her eyes lashes and snuggled against him once more, luscious lips only inches from his. Kagome brushed his cheek and jawline with feather light touches and traced small patterns on his collarbone. For a minute, he forgot the cold, and growled in contentment, eyes almost closed. But they, widened, as Kagome raised herself close to him, lips touching, just barely. He closed his eyes, and then ZAP! (I bet you're all wondering what happened there)

Inuyasha's eyes popped open and he stared down at his waist. Kagome…Kagome had shot him with her gun! He growled deep in his throat, as he watched her do the victory dance, a small point on the green bar next to her target.

"YOU!"

"I DECLARE WAR!"

"WHY YOU!" With a battle cry, he leapt after her, gun poised.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Kagome was running faster than she had in her life. Inuyasha was only a mere few feet behind him, and knowing him, he would do something even trickier to either get her to beg for mercy, or rack up a lot of points. Of course, she knew it was a dirty trick, but it was just too easy. Kagome had wanted to kiss him, but, it would have ruined her whole plan.

There was a flash of white and she found herself getting plunged into some cold snow. She turned around, shivering, to see Inuyasha, standing victorious over her, a grin on his face. Closing one eye, he aimed, and shot her target. ZAP! She moaned. Nooooo! Now they were even in points. He dropped down next to her, putting his mouth very close to her ear.

"That's what you get wench, for tricking me like that." His hot breath was on her ear. She shuddered, stifling a small moan and looked up into his now playful golden depths. He stroked her cheek with his free hand, and then ZAP! OH NO!

"INUYASHA!" she groaned. He got up, and grinned at her. Kagome stood, chocolate brown eyes screwed up in anger.

"You tricked me!" she yelled.

"Just like you did me. Now prepare yourself!" ZAP! Now he was beating her three to one!

Fear overcoming her the most, she ran, ran like the wind. There was a slope, and she ran down it, breath coming out in short pants. She couldn't hear Inuyasha behind her, he was light on his feet and fast, VERY fast! ZIP! Something rushed by her, and soft white silver locks brushed her face. She stopped, then she got an idea. As he landed, she aimed her gun, but he was too fast. ZAP! Four to one. ZAP! Four to two!

"Yay! I scored."

"No fair!"

"Now it's my turn!" Kagome sprinted towards him, ready to hit, but he…dodged her right when she was about to shoot! Then, he stuck out his foot and she tripped. It took a very long time, but his arms came out just in time to save her from a mouthful of snow. She exhaled, but then tensed as he turned her towards him. A grin played at his lips, one cute little fang hanging over his lip. She was certain he was going to kiss her, to catch her, he needed to tuck his gun away, and it was currently in his belt.

No, she was wrong, terribly wrong. ZAP! He had the reflects of a skillful hunter, and Kagome was his prey.

It went on like this, for quite some time. Until another blinding flash ran through the room and it was back to its dark state. They heard a door swing open on its hinges, and a small rectangle of light was cut from the darkness. The door! It was Jenn opening it, but still… Kagome ran for it, Inuyasha strolling casually, hands stuffed in his pockets. They hadn't know who won, they had been ZAPing each other so much, that they had lost count.

Jenn gawked at Inuyasha for a while, until saying, rather loudly, "Let me look at your belt." She grinned as the irritated hanyou handed it to her. "Ryan, you get hers." Ryan beamed at Kagome as she dropped the belt in the guys hands.

"Sixty! Whoa!" Jenn cried. "That's the high score ever to be made in thirty minutes!" It looked like she was going to latch onto Inuyasha, but stopped when Kagome gave her the death glare.

"Thirty Five. Looks like you won!" Kagome pouted, but couldn't help to contain a grin. Inuyasha looked just like a puppy who had been rewarded after learning how to sit. His amber eyes were bright and a smile was stretched across his face, but he couldn't stop himself from giving a superior snort, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Well, thanks for playing laser tag, big guy!" Inuyasha face faulted, then jumped up.

"SHUT UP YOU!"

"WHERE'S THE EXIT?" Kagome yelled over the shouts and growls.

"THERE!" Ryan pointed to a large double door.

"THANKS!" She dragged a screeching Inuyasha away from the little room.

They winded up back near the entrance. It was slightly brighter than before, but Kagome still couldn't see very well.

"I'm hungry."

"Me too."

"Can you smell any food?" She had quite adapted to the fact that Inuyasha was a dog hanyou, and he was always wonderful to have around. Kagome felt him tugging at her clothes; she followed and winded up in a vast cafeteria, but the lights almost blinded her.

"C`mon Inu, let's eat."

* * *

"Hey, Kagome, how did they do that?"

"Do what?"

"That stuff, in the laser tag room."

"I guess it's some sort of virtual reality," Kagome replied simply starting on her chicken sandwich. (YUM!)

"Oh. But it all felt so real. How?"

"Honestly, Inuyasha, I don't know."

"Hm," he mumbled, then started sniffing. His eyes fell on his pizza and he started attacking it like a starving dog.

"Inuyasha! Please try to act civilized. People are staring!" Kagome cried, but melted at the confused, hurt look in his eyes.

"Aw…but I'm sure you didn't mean it." She put her hand tenderly on his cheek. He swallowed. His heart was beating so furiously in his chest, and his whole body burned as if on fire, especially where she was touching him. Oh, how did Kagome DO this to him?"

"O…K…" `Eventually Kagome, eventually you're going to be mines' he thought with a grin and dived onto his pizza.
