InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Happy Medium or Extreme Aggravation ❯ Punch Drunk Love ( Chapter 13 )

Disclaimer: Let me look at the files. . . . . . . . . Nope, still don't own InuYasha. Fuck!

 

 

Last time:

 

Sango and Kagome were dropped off by Miroku so that they could change for their dinners. As they walked up the stairs to their apartment they felt a strange apprehension. When they rounded the corner they saw several people standing by their door. There were pieces of glass on the ground.

 

 

“Hey what's going on here!” Sango yelled.

 

 

“Oh, you're finally home.” their next door neighbor said, “Someone threw a brick through your window. I saw who did it too. It was some fine ass Asian chick in a silver integra. She had bitchin blonde hair. Dude, wha'd you do to her? She looked pissed.”

 

 

Kagome and Sango sucked in some air and pushed through the crowd. There it was, a big, ugly brick in their living room lying in a pile of broken glass.

 

 

“SON OF A BITCH!!!” they shouted together.

 

Chapter 12: Punch Drunk Love

 

 

“That BITCH!” Sango screamed. I'm gonna fucking kill her. She's gone too damn far this time. Sango looked back at the neighbor who had witness the brick incident and glared at him. “You stay here. The rest of you go home before I get really pissed!” Her face was red and her hair had somehow gotten into such a state that it stood on end. She looked fearsome and her neighbors didn't hesitate to vacate the premises. She sat the neighbor down and kept guard to ensure that he didn't escape before the police came.

 

 

Kagome looked at the brick and noticed that a note had been tied to it. She bent down to pick it up and read the tidy scrawl. It said “Stay the fuck away from InuYasha or your face is gonna look like your window bitch.” Her heart was beating rapidly and she couldn't seem to get enough air into her lungs. She stumbled to the dining room and sat down on a chair. She put her head between her knees until her head stopped buzzing. Then she got up and picked up the phone.

 

“Hello?” said a voice on the other line.

 

 

“InuYasha, get your ass over here now.” Kagome said slowly trying to control the tremble in her voice.

 

 

“Kagome? What's wrong? You know I've got work to do, Dad's counting on me.” InuYasha sounded tired and confused.

 

 

“This is very important. Kikyou just lobbed a fucking brick through my window and we need to talk.”

 

 

“I'll be right over.” He hung up.

 

 

At the Office:

 

 

“Sorry dad, but I've gotta go. There's a problem at Kagome's. Kik. . . uh someone just vandalized her apartment and I'm going to help her clean up.” InuYasha said to his father.

 

 

“Okay son. I don't think we're gonna get much farther today anyway. We're as prepared as we'll ever be.” InuYasha's father's voice was deep with a growly quality. Today he sounded tired but confident. He started putting papers away then turned to catch InuYasha halfway out the door. “ Oh, and your mother invited Kagome and her mother to dinner this weekend and we expect you to be there.”

 

 

“Yeah, yeah. See ya dad.” InuYasha said not really listening to him. His thoughts were turned to Kagome and Kikyou. Damnit why wont she leave us alone. She's obviously got other guys interested in her so why doesn't she go with one of them? I hope Kagome isn't hurt, if she is then Kikyou had better watch out, Sango is going to kill her. Oh shit, Sango. She's gonna blame this on me. His thoughts chased themselves around while he hopped into his car and drove 20 minutes to her apartment. He parked haphazardly and ran up the stairs. He skidded to a stop in front of their door and looked at all of the broken glass on the floor.

 

 

There were two police officers there talking to a young man who looked stoned out of his mind and nervous. Kagome and Sango were talking to another police officer. Kagome looked subdued but Sango was very animated and doing all of the talking. InuYasha caught Kagome's eye and she excused herself from Sango and the officer.

 

 

“Thanks for coming InuYasha. Can we go to the bedroom to talk?” She said as she walked over to him. She didn't kiss or hug him and instead led him silently to her bedroom.

 

 

“Kagome are you alright?” He asked quietly as he sat down on the bed and she closed the door.

 

 

“To tell you the truth InuYasha, I'm not really sure. I found this tied to the brick. I haven't shown it to anyone yet. I wanted you to see it first.” She handed the note to InuYasha and stepped back.

 

 

Kagome watched his face while he read the note seeing it turn from curious to seriously pissed in the blink of an eye. “What the fuck? Who the hell does she think she is to threaten you like this.” He looked up at her and saw tears in her eyes. He got up to give her a reassuring hug and flinched when she took a step away. “Kagome why. . .”

 

 

“I can't do this InuYasha. I can't live in fear for my safety like this. . . I'm sorry. . . “ She was full on crying at this point and InuYasha still hadn't comprehended her words.

 

 

When he finally understood that she was trying to tell him that it was over his temper flared. “Oh no you don't. Kagome, this is no reason to throw away what we have.” he said, shaking the note at her. “Don't quit on me now. You've always been stubborn, where is that trait now huh? Don't let her be the reason we give up. Kagome I love you, I've loved you for a long time and I hope that you feel the same way.” He grabbed her arms and pulled her to him. He buried his face in her hair and repeated his words into her neck.

 

 

Kagome was surprised by his words and even more surprised by his actions. She stood there stock still for a moment while his words vibrated across her skin. She snapped out of it when she felt his sob. She wrapper her arms around InuYasha and hugged him for all that she was worth. “I'm sorry InuYasha. I don't know what I was thinking. I don't want to stop seeing you. And I . . . I love you too. Please forgive me.”

 

 

InuYasha pulled his head away from her but kept his arms wrapped tightly around her waist. “Kagome, you will never need to ask forgiveness of me. I should be asking for your forgiveness. I will never turn away from you.”

 

They stood that way for a long time. The only sound in the room coming from Kagome's sobs and InuYasha's harsh breathing, until a soft knock sounded at the door and Sango stuck her head into the room.

 

“Sorry to disturb you but I thought that you might want to know that everyone was gone. I promised my mom that I'd come to dinner but if you wan I can stay here with you. The window guy is on his way.”

 

“No, that's fine Sango. Tell your mom that I said 'hi'.” Kagome wiped the tears from her eyes and extricated herself from InuYasha's tight embrace. She walked to Sango and threw her arms around her. “I'm sorry you were dragged into this.”

 

Sango hugged her back and assured her that she was being stupid. “It's been fated that I kick Kikyou's ass since grade school. We've hated each other for a long time. This is just icing on the cake. Don't worry about it.”

 

 

Kagome giggled despite herself and said goodbye to Sango. When she had gone, Kagome went in search of InuYasha. He had settled himself on the couch and turned the TV to MTV2. He patted the seat next to himself and waited while she sat to put his arm around her shoulder. She settled her head on his chest and they sat in silence while they waited.

 

After twenty minutes InuYasha realized that Kagome had fallen asleep. He carefully lay her head down and go up making sure that he hadn't woken her. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and lit up once he was outside. Halfway through his smoke his cell phone rang. Not bothering to look at the display, he answered the call.

 

“Hello?”

 

“Inu-baby! How are you doing? Now that you're free from that embarrassment of a human being I thought that we could have dinner and talk about the prospects of a reconciliation.” Kikyou's voice was sickly sweet and full of malicious venom.

 

InuYasha was stunned by the call. The last thing that he expected was a call from Kikyou. He kept his voice low to not disturb Kagome. “Oh sure Kikyou. I'd love to get together with you. . . so that I can shove my foot up your ass. You've got a lotta nerve calling me up after the stunt you pulled. What is your malfunction? Can't you just leave us the fuck alone. And did you prepare that speech yourself, cuz there were words in there that I wouldn't have thought you knew, you dumb bitch.”

 

“Now Inu you don't really mean that do you? Cuz I'm being real nice right now. But I can get very fuckin mean. You belong to me, not that slut and no one can change that. That bitch better watch her back cuz when she aint expectin it I'll be right there to beat her ass.”

 

“Fuck you Kikyou. We're through. Stay the fuck away.” InuYasha was pacing and furiously puffing on his cigarette.

 

“Or what InuYasha? We both know you won't hit a woman.” She laughed evilly on the other line.

 

“I can't. But I've seen Kagome pin your ass and Sango wants a piece too. You know she could kick your ass seven ways to Sunday, that's why you've never tried to fight her.”

 

“Hmph. Bring the bitch squad on.” InuYasha was sure that he heard uncertainty in her voice before she hung up with as much force and she could on a flip phone.

 

His blood was boiling so he lit another cigarette to calm himself down but it wasn't working so he put it out and went back into Kagome's apartment to get a drink and wait again.

 

One hour later Kagome had a brand new window and InuYasha was watching her run around getting ready for dinner with her mother. She's cute when she's in a hurry.

 

“Shit! I'm gonna be late. InuYasha can you call my mom and apologize for me please.” She was running around with her arms flapping trying to find suitable dinner clothes.

 

“Sure thing.” He used her cell phone to call her mom.

 

“Kagome where are you? I've been waiting for half an hour. You didn't get into an accident did you? Are you hurt, who's fault was it. Tell me it was the other guy's fault.” She was working herself into a frenzy.

 

Keh, now I know where she gets it from. “Uh, Mrs. Higurashi, This is InuYasha. Kagome asked me to call you and let you know that she would be late. But I guess you already knew that. Anyway, she accidentally fell asleep while we were watching TV and I didn't wake her up because I didn't know you had plans.” He felt no need to tell her about the window, it would only complicate matters.

 

“Oh InuYasha. Hello. Sorry about that it's just that she's normally not late. I'm looking forward to dinner with your parents this weekend. And I guess I'll see you there. Tell Kagome not to rush herself and to drive safely.”

 

“Uh okay. I'll do that.” When he'd hung up the phone he dragged his own out and punched in his parents' number.

 

“Taisho residence.” A woman's voice answered, mature and confident.

 

“Hi mom. It's InuYasha. What's this about a dinner this weekend?”

 

“Oh honey, I told your father to make sure you knew about ti. He must have forgotten. Anyway, I've invited Kagome and her mother to dinner that's all. It's been so long since I've seen them and now that you and Kagome are together I thought it would be a good idea to discuss your future together.”

 

“Our future? Crap mom, you didn't invite a wedding planner did you?”

 

“Don't be silly InuYasha. This is going to be a family dinner. I expect you to be on your best behavior and that goes for your brother as well. Now I have to get the menu set so I have to go. Have a good evening dear.” She hung up and InuYasha stood staring at the phone.

 

While he was standing there Kagome came up behind him and gave him a hug. “I take it you found out about dinner.”

 

He finally put the phone down and nodded. “If she starts talking about wedding dresses, run.”

 

She let him go and put on her best pouty face. “Why InuYasha. Don't you wanna marry me?” She laughed at his stunned expression. “Don't worry, I don't wanna marry you right now either. Dork.”

 

“Well that's a relief. So are you ready to go? Your mom said to drive carefully.” He put on his jacket and walked to the door.

 

“Yup. I'll call you when I'm done okay?” She gave him a quick kiss and let him out of the apartment. A few minutes later she left also.
