InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Has Anyone Seen My Pants ❯ Chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5

Everyone stared at Kagome as she struggled to find something to say. "W….W-well, we should get going." She nodded enthusiastically and began marching towards their camp (or at least she thought that camp was that way). "I mean, geez! We have jewel shards to find and I'm still in my pajama-"

She was abruptly tugged backwards as a clawed finger pulled on her collar. "Wait a minute Kagome," he ground out through clenched teeth, "what was that all about back there?!" He jerked his thumb towards where her previous "accident" had taken place.

Kagome was panicked, but she feigned innocence. "Well I'm sure I have no idea what you are talking about Inuya-"

"I'm talking about your little display of affection towards `Kouga-kun' back there." He interrupted her in a mocking tone.

Kagome didn't know what to do. Shouting a sit and running for it sounded very appealing but Miroku had made it a point to tell her that aggressive women didn't run from challenges-they faced them head on. And a sit was definitely not the "aggressive way" to handle this matter. "Oh that, I told you it was just an accident." She waved her hand about in a nonchalant manner as she spoke.

"Accident my-"

"Are you calling me a liar?!" She stood on her tiptoes in an effort to reach his height, but even so she failed miserably and didn't appear as intimidating as she had hoped to.

Inuyasha blinked at her antics before making it a point to tower over her before shouting back, "Yeah, I am!"

"Why you……" Inuyasha flinched at the inevitable "Sit" that was sure to come, but Kagome took a deep breath as she tried to regain her composure. Remembering Miroku's advice, she tried to stay calm. Suddenly she smiled at Inuyasha and shrugged. "So what if it wasn't an accident?" She turned and began walking towards Sango (she would know what direction camp was in, right?). "You can't tell me that Kikyo just slipped when she kissed you that time. Alright Sango-chan, let's see about breakfast."

Inuyasha sputtered at the mention of his former lover. That had always been a sore spot for the two of them, why did she have to bring it up now? "Well….humph!" He crossed his arms purposefully in front of him and turned away.

Shippo was brought out of the stupor that the whole group had been in at the mention of food. "Me too, Kagome!" He took off towards the two girls.

Sango was not so lucky. "Uh…..what?" She managed intelligently to which Kagome merely smiled and lead her away.

Miroku stifled a smile that seemed to demand a place on his face. He was just so proud of Kagome! "What are you smiling about, monk?" Inuyasha asked threateningly.

Miroku, not wanting to be the outlet for Inuyasha's misdirected anger, put on a calm face and replied. "Why nothing my haori-clad friend. Now, let's after the ladies."

Inuyasha growled but followed suit. He felt like killing that stupid monk, but he knew it was just because the real person-no-wolf that he wanted to kill was long gone. He felt so torn inside right now. Kagome had a point, he had no right to her after the way he had been acting towards Kikyo, but why couldn't he just convinvce himself of that? He rubbed his temples in frustration, he was going to need to do a lot of thinking later, and he did not look forward to the headache it was sure to bring on.
