InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ gymnast from hell ❯ ATTENTION IMPORTANT!!!!! ( Chapter 20 )

Important!!!! Don't you hate it when autors don't update for a while then they come back with this AN crap as a chapter? I know I hate it. That's why this isn't an AN crap-chapter this is an actual chapter. Fooled ya!!!

I love you guys so much!! Did I tell you I love you? Well I do. Thank you all for the comments, compliments and support. I am trying my best to get back into my old updating format, but thatwill be hard considering that I still don't have the internet on my computer, my parents computer is still out, the place I went to the upload is having serious problems with oving and such and that my tweachers don't trust me all that much anymore to allow me to go to the computer lab-the only one with the new computers and internet- by myself and do what I need to do because of something one of my friends did last year. But my I.T. teacher, being the coolest teacher in the school, allows the class to go online for the last ten minutes of class when we have class in that specific lab so that would probably be the only time I get. But since I'm here now. enjoy the chapter!!!

Disclaimer: I don't know what you're talking about.

Chapter 20

Kagome got up and stretched, she was still suspended so she didn't have to go to school today. She could still go to make trouble- no the last time she did that, she ended up in the hospital.

Speaking of hospital, did she really hear an ambulance pass this morning?

Shrugging it off, she went downstairs for breakfast.

=*.*=

She walked out of the bathroom, hair drenched, a towel wrapped around her lithe frame and a soaked bandage. She stepped into her room and slapped herself for forgetting to turn off the A/C. She grabbed up the remote and turned it off then locked the door.

Kagome put on her underwear with her back to the window and her towel slightly still wrapped around her. Once on, she took off the towel and put it on her bed then went to the closet, unaware of the pair of eyes watching her from their favorite perch at her window.

She walked from her closet, her boots under her arm, and her clothes on her shoulder. She put on the pants that fell snugly around her girl-boxer clad hips. She bent over to get her boots when she saw a streak of blue by her window. She did a double take then shrieked, their was a banging on her room door.

"Kagome are you alright in there?" her grandfather asked

"Maybe she's blowing her top again, don't wanna be in her way" Souta joked.

"Shut up brat, I'm alright ji-san, it's just a spider" she said then mumbled, "a very big spider"

"Ok honey"

"Do you think it would be like in 8 legged freaks' where the spider's gonna eat her? If so, WAY TO GO MR SPIDER!"

"Shut up Souta!"

"You're no fun" he grumbled.

The two at the door left then Kagome opened the window, Inuyasha jumped in smiling at her.

"What are you doing here?" she hissed. "You're not supposed to be here!"

"I know-" he stopped abruptly to take in her current attire; wet hair, sports bra, pants. And her previous attire: bra, panties, wet hair. Damn she had a great figure.

Kagome looked at him questioningly, why did he stop mid-sentence? She followed his glazed over gaze to herself, she had yet to put on a shirt! In one fluid movement, she bent over, grabbed her shirt, and dragged it on, snapping him out of Lala land.

"How long were you there?" she asked suspiciously, pulling her hair from her clothes.

"About ½ hour now" he said casually.

"You saw me naked?!!!"

"Unfortunately not, but I did she the next best thing, you in your underwear. Nice figure by the way."

"How dare you! That's called invasion of privacy, y'know! You peeping tom!"

"Well it was worth it. So you comin?"

"Where?"

"Out. I donno, the mall or wherever." He shrugged.

"Its 8:00 on a Monday morning"

"Fine you wanna come to my house till noon?"

"And what are we gonna do till then?" she asked suspiciously, he smirked.

"Well, we could do many things" he purred seductively, "or we could just help you with the guitar" he said boredly.

"Sure why not" she said ignoring the first suggestion. "Just get me some mega-strong aspirins and were good to (gizo) go"

"Lets go" he climbed out the window, took the guitar and she climbed out after him.

~#.#~

They drove down a back road, it didn't occur to Kagome the first time she drove down that the scenery was beautiful, if you were into that kind of stuff, maybe it was because she was miffed? Well she had to admit, it was a gorgeous countryside, Japan had these? They drove into a big yard, up a cobblestone driveway, up to one of the most beautiful mansions ever seen.

Kagome's otherwise cold face, shone with pure awe.

Inuyasha parked the truck in the driveway and got out. Upon hearing the slam of the door, Kagome snapped out of her daze and followed suit. She followed him up the massive steps to the big oak doors that opened as they reached the last step.

"Hello master Inuyasha" a butler said as they walked in.

"Whatever" he said then dragged Kagome up some stairs, through some halls, to his room. He stood at the door, and signaled for her to go in. she did and her head began spinning in every direction possible.

The room was a regal red colour, with gray and gold trimmings, and beautiful mahogany furniture. Inuyasha put the guitar beside his in a chair on one corner of the room ten sat down on the bed. Kagome on the other hand, sat down by the closed door, refusing to go any further.

"So what now?" she asked.

"What is it you want to do?"

"It would really matter to me."

They sat in silence…

More silence…

Even more silence…

"So what now?" Kagome asked when the silence got deafening.

"What do you want to do?"

"I donno!, we could practice?"

"Ok whatever" he got up and reached for the guitars, then went the long journey of two miles-seven feet to give hers to her. She took it and he sat beside her…on the ground…in his own room…by the door.

Kagome looked at the instrument, slightly dazed, she was brought out of it though by Inu strumming a few chords. She gripped the neck then let go as a pain reeled up her hand.

"First things first, we gotta get you some aspirin"

She shook her head, no. "I'm fine."

"You'll need them"

"No not yet"

"Alright, lets see you play"

She strummed the strings then began strumming a C-chord in a tune; she then switched to D major and regretted it big time.

"Fine" she winced, "I'll take the stupid aspirin, but if it ever does anything to me other than ease the pain, I'll kill you"

"Thought so" he got up and went to his connecting bathroom. He came out seconds later with a bottle of aspirin. She took it from him then popped two in her mouth. She didn't really like taking pills dry, but sometimes the situation calls for it. He sat in front of her with a confused face.

"What?" she asked.

"When you first came to practice, you saw Kouga and said you had nothing against me, Sesshomaru or Miroku, what the hell was that about?"

"Well it slipped kinda. What I meant to say was that it was Miroku or Sesshomaru I had nothing against, its you and Kouga I don't like" she explained bluntly.

"Ok, I'm ready for an explanation."

"I have nothing against Miroku or Sesshomaru because they didn't take it upon themselves to `torture me mentally' or whatever. You however, let your girlfriend rule your life, Kouga just came for the fun of it to annoy me. That's what I meant, but you apologized so…" she trailed off.

"Its only Kouga you're pissed at" he finished.

"Well I can't stay mad at him for long because he's dating my cousin, and" she sighed, "I gotta be happy for aya"

"But if I didn't apologize you'd probably still be angry at me."

"Probably, though that venting I did on you on Saturday most likely made up for it."

"Well its good to know I'm on your good side, whatever the cost." She just shrugged. There was a knock at the door. "Who is it?"

"Your mother wishes to speak with you" it was Sesshomaru's deadpan voice.

"Ok" he got up, Kagome slid out of the way and he left the room. Kagome got up and walked further into the room. She found and amplifier and decided to hook up to it. She sat on the back of a chair and strummed quietly, deftly moving her fingers along the stings. She switched chords halfheartedly, because her fingers burned from the lack of movement in the bandage.

Her soft chords became a tune she knew, it was a song by the group SeeSaw, named `to nowhere'

Can you hear the calling of the raving wind and water?

We just keep dreaming of the land 'cross the river

We are always on the way to find the place we belong

Wandering to no where, we're paddling

Down the raging sea

Who can cross over such raving wind and water?

On the rolling boat we sit, shivering with coldness

Come by an island, come by a hillock,

It's just another place, we paddle on

Down the raging sea

But in one morning we'll see the sun

Bright shining morning dew singing

They who will search will find the land

Of evergreen

Can you hear the calling of the raving wind and water?

We just keep paddling down the sea, up the river

No destination, but we are together

In the silent sadness we're paddling

Down the raging sea

Down to no where

~*.*~

Inuyasha stopped his decent of the stairs, she sound of a soft guitar melody reaching his ears, echoing through the big house. He didn't recognize the song, but it sounded good. He vaguely heard her singing the lyrics; he still didn't know the song. It didn't matter; all that mattered was that she was playing, softly, but still playing.

He heard someone clearing their throat beside him, he snapped out of his revere and saw his mother smiling at him.

"Sounds beautiful doesn't it?" she asked, "Who's playing?"

"My girlfriend, she broke her wrist a couple days ago and I'm helping her get back into the habit of playing"

"She didn't have a cast on when she came," she pointed out.

"Remember when I came home with that black eye Saturday?"

"Yes"

"Well that was her doing, she broke the cast and punched me"

"Why?"

"It's a long story, and I deserved it"

"Ok…"

"So, you wanted to speak with me?"

"Yes dear, its something your father asked me to tell you"

"Ok"

~*.*~

Kagome sat on the chair; she had ended the song and was thinking of another slow song to sing, she couldn't think of any so she decided on the one she's been practicing for a while now. Switchfoot's `meant to live'.

She strummed the chords experimentally feeling slight pain in her wrist, but otherwise fine. She started the song, turning down the amp a bit, totally unaware of the audience she now had.

Kouga had come over, he met Inuyasha and his mom by the stairs and they told him to follow the music and wait there. So here he was in Inuyasha's room, watching Kagome play some song. He wanted to talk to her, but he didn't want to disturb her.

"We were meant to live for so much more, have we lost ourselves-" she froze, she felt a prickling feeling in the back of her neck. She spun round, loosing her balance in the process. She fell backwards into the chair then rolled out. The strap of her guitar flew from her hand as the amp pulled the guitar from her. It fell behind the chair, while she fell out of it, hurting her arm.

"I didn't mean to startle you" Kouga said, hurriedly helping her up.

"Well you did" she reached over the chair and grabbed her guitar, almost falling over. The instrument seemed relatively fine except for the white scratch mark on one side of it.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine," she leaned the guitar by the amp and sat in the chair. "Pass me that pill bottle"

He did so; "I wanted to talk to you about something"

"About what?" she popped two pills in her mouth.

"Well I'm kinda confuse about something"

"Oh the comment, a couple days ago"

"Yeah- what did you mean?"

She told him the same thing she told Inuyasha.

"So if I apologized would it make any truce or something?"

"I doesn't matter anymore, I guess I'm over it"

"Are you sure- you wouldn't hold it against me in anyway like you did Inuyasha?"

"No I don't think so"

"Well I hope so, cause, damn you hit hard, I felt I for the puppy" he looked at the bottle, "you didn't have that before"

"Well Inuyasha insisted, well I made the comment first and he acted upon it"

"I worked out for the better," Inuyasha said closing the door.
