InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Half and Half ❯ chapter 6 ( Chapter 6 )
[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Kagome grabbed a confused Inuyasha by the arm and dragged him up the stairs to
her room. She scanned the room, before opening the window.
"Go out onto that tree branch. They won't see you then." she shoved him towards
the window.
"Who won't see me? Huh? What's going on?" Inuyasha asked, very puzzled.
"Just go!" she hissed as she began yanking open drawers in her dresser. Inuyasha
meekly obeyed, and watched as Kagome whipped out a small bottle of some flesh
colored stuff, and began smearing it on her cheeks until the blue lines were
covered. She dropped the bottle of foundation back into the drawer and opened up
her closet and searched desperately for something to hide her ears with. She
settled for a headband that she quickly tried to place over her ears, and used
her hair to cover them. It was a little painful, but it would do. She just
barely had time to draw the curtain over the open window before a knock sounded
at the door.
"Kagome?"
She took a deep breath and took a quick glance in the mirror. Confident that she
looked almost "normal," if she kept her fangs out of sight and no one noticed
her eyes, she called out a pleasant, "Come in!"
The door opened and three young girls entered. They all began talking excitedly
at once.
"Oh, Kagome, you've been sick all week-"
"Today's Saturday, so we just thought we'd drop in-
"Kagome, what did you do with your hair? I thought you hated headbands-"
Kagome desperately tried to follow the three conversations, but without much
success. Her friends realized their mistake and giigled, then took turns
speaking.
*A/N: I don't really remember their names, but I'll try.*
"You missed a history test, Kagome. And the section was so interesting, too. It
was all about the myths about demons and onis and gods in the Sengoku Jidai-"
Ayumi started, before she was cut off.
"Oh, come on, Ayumi-chan. Kagome doesn't want to hear about history." Emmi shook
her head at her bookworm friend. Unnoticed by both of them, Kagome had gone a
little pale.
"I'm sure she'd much rather hear the latest gossip about Hojo." Emmi giggled.
"I don't care about Hojo-" Kagome protested, before her third friend broke in.
"Come on you guys, she's been sick for the past three weeks, and you didn't even
ask how she felt!" Ari said, shocked at her companions' rude behavior.
They immediately apologized, and were relieved to hear she was feeling much
better, thank you. Then Emmi began talking again about Hojo and that freshman
girl, and how if Kagome didn't do something soon, she would lose him. Kagome
just rolled her eyes after many protestations that she cared nothing about Hojo
and glanced nervously towards the window. As if on cue, there was a loud thump
and a series of "ite"s from outside. Her friends froze.
"What was that?" asked Ayumi.
"Ahh! A peeper!" Ari shouted. Emmi rushed towards the window, and looked down.
"It's an awefully cute peeper, if he is one." she said thoughtfully. "But he is
dressed a bit funny."
Kagome walked to the window, and looked out. Sure enough, Inuyasha was
crounching on the ground, dusting off his clothes while muttering a string of
curses.
"So who is it?" Ayumi asked.
There was a long silence, before Kagome finally replied.
"That's Inuyasha."
Her friends looked at her in astonishment. A knowing look came on Emmi's face,
and she whispered to Ari. Sudden realization hit Ayumi.
"Is he the one-" she began, but Kagome was leaning out the window.
"Come on up, Inuyasha." she called. He looked at her, still having no clue as to
what was going on, but he leaped up to the tree branch and then to the window
sill. Kagome's friends looked in awe at this display of agility for a moment,
then let loose a torrent of questions.
"Are you really Kagome's boyfriend?" "Does this mean you finally chose between
her and that other girl?" "Are you dressed up for a costume party or something?
'Cause those are really weird clothes." There was a brief respite as Ari
discovered his ears, but then there was another flurry of questions, mainly
asking to touch them or wondering if they were real.
Emmi leaned in towards Kagome. "So where'd you find him? He's so cute!" Kagome
blushed as Inuyasha looked to them, obviously overhearing. He looked surprised.
Kagome whispered back to Emmi, "You won't find another one like him in four
hundred years." Emmi noticed the far away look in Kagome's eyes, and knew her
friend had it bad. She smiled. It was about time.
Kagome managed to get near enough to Inuyasha that she could whisper to him
without anyone else hearing.
"Sit down, and shut up, or else I'll really make you 'sit,'" she muttered just
above her breath. His eyes widened, and he quickly sat down.
Emmi turned to Kagome.
"So, what were you two little love birds planning on doing?"
Kagome looke dup nervously.
"Uh, what do you mean?"
Emmi looked smug. "Well, you were obviously planning something. Why else was he
here?"
Kagome wracked her brain desperately for an answer. She drew a blank.
"I know!" Ayumi said suddenly. "You guys were gonna elope, weren't you!"
Kagome jolted at this. She opened her mouth to deny it, but then she thought for
a minute.
"Yes." she said quietly.
"Oh, how romantic!" Ari sighed. Inuyasha looked at Kagome in confusion, and
started to open his mouth to say something. He thought they had agreed marriage
was out of the question right now. Not that he would mind too much... Kagome
just mouthed "Don't make me say it," to him. He clamped his jaw shut.
"See, Inuyasha's an orphan, and my parents think I'm too young to get married.
So, we're going to run away and live with Inuyasha's brother in Kyoto." she made
up, trying to play her friends' senses of romance. It worked. They all sighed,
with mushy, sappy looks on their faces. Inuyasha just stared at Kagome in
horror. Live with Sesshomaru??!!!
"You'll write us letters, won't you?" Ari asked. Ayumi and Emmi quickly seconded
the request.
"Of course." Kagome said, and realized this was probably the last time she'd see
her friends.
"I'll miss you guys." Tears began to collect in her eyes, and she looked into
their faces, and they all burst out crying at once. They cried and hugged, and
said goodbye and good luck, they made sure her promise she would write letters
at least forty times over again, and Inuyasha just stood in the middle of it,
wondering what was going on. One minute they're all mushy and happy, and now
they're wailing their eyes out? The amount of emotion in the room was making him
sick.
He'd never understand women.
