Hitchin' a Ride: Chapter Ten

 

-1-1-1-

 

Kagome woke up and saw Inuyasha on his stomach, his left arm over her, his right arm over the side of the bed along with his right leg, and his left leg straight out. She looked over to the alarm clock. It was after noon.

 

She sat up and shifted her legs over the side of the bed. Then she got up, grabbed the clothes that Inuyasha had given her last night and went into the bathroom. She climbed into the shower and turned it on. At first the water was cold and she jumped back, but then it got hot and steamy. Kagome heard the bathroom door open.

 

“Inuyasha?” she questioned.

 

“Yeah? What is it?” he asked.

 

“Just makin' sure it was you,” she told him.

 

“Well is it me?” he joked.

 

“Nope.”

 

He laughed. “I love you, babe.”

 

“I love you too.” Kagome felt a cold breeze on her back and turned around to see Inuyasha climbing in with her.

 

“Do you really need that many showers? You just took one last night.”

 

“Make up time from the last few nights,” she said. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips and then turned around to finish her shower.

 

Inuyasha watched intensely as Kagome cleaned her body and hair. When she noticed his stare she spit water at him. Soon after she climbed out and left the shower to Inuyasha.

 

“No, don't leave me!” he begged pathetically, but jokingly.

 

She laughed with the toothbrush in her mouth. “Don't worry I won't.”

 

“Yeah, that's right! You're mine now. Eternally indebted to being my sex slave!”

 

“Don't talk like that,” she scorned. “You sound like Naraku…”

 

“I'm sorry. I was just joking.”

 

“I know. I shouldn't take everything so seriously. It's a weakness of mine. You know what?”

 

“Huh?” he asked.

 

“I don't have anything to wear!”

 

“I don't mind.” He laughed.

 

“Ha, ha that is so funny! I'm being serious here.”

 

“Yeah me too. I really don't mind.”

 

“Oh so you want all the other people looking at my nude body. Okay. I always wanted to be a porn star. Since you insist…”

 

“Okay you got my attention. I'll let you wear a pair of my sweats and a t-shirt then we'll go get you something to wear,” he proposed.

 

“Yay! Shopping! I cannot wait to tell Sango!” Kagome chirped.

 

“What's it with girls and shopping?” He grabbed his towel off of the towel rack and wrapped it around his waist.

 

“Ya know, I never thought about it before. It's just fun,” Kagome said as she slid on a pair of sweats Inuyasha had handed her. Then she put on her t-shirt.

 

There was a knock on their and Kagome rushed to go answer it. She looked through the peephole and saw that it was Sango. Kagome opened the door and Sango stepped in. “Hey, what is it?”

 

“Um…” Kagome turned her attention to where Sango was looking. It was Inuyasha in a towel, in the bathroom, with the door opened.

 

“Shut the door, Inuyasha! Now what is it?” she said turning her attention back to Sango. Kagome could tell she looked worried.

 

“Naraku called… he said that he was on his way to get you back.”

 

“Did he say anything about Sota?” Kagome asked worriedly.

 

“No, just you. He said he will get you… and something about knowing what you left Sota.”

 

Kagome smiled. “That lying ass! He don't know where I am or anything. He don't know what I left Sota!” Kagome snorted in an unladylike manner.

 

Sango looked at Kagome. Was she out of her tree? Naraku had ways and means of finding her and here she was, calling him a liar, which he was. But he was dangerous. Very dangerous. Kagome shouldn't talk like he was a harmless spider. Sango hated spiders and thought one thing about them: They all need squashed.

 

“Were you listening to me?” Kagome asked Sango.

 

“Oh, I'm sorry. I was totally tuned out. Restart.”

 

Kagome stared bluntly at her. “Long story short we're going shopping!”

 

“Sweet! Can't wait!”

 

Inuyasha shook his head at them (he had came in when Sango was thinking). “Are you two ready then?”

 

“Yeah just a minute,” Sango said. She left.

 

“Now do we add ten minutes to that?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Not all women are slow at getting stuff,” Kagome retorted.

 

“Shop-a-holics are.”

 

“Not true!” she protested.

 

True to her word, Sango was back in about a minute. Miroku was with her as well.

 

“Wow, I guess some women are fast,” Inuyasha joked.

 

“You are a stereotypical ass!” Kagome said. She hated stereotypes in all forms. Not all blondes were dumb, and not all women were slow.

 

She stormed out with Sango on her heals. “What was that all about?” Sango asked when they got to the car.

 

“He said something about girls being slow when they got stuff and other things like that. It got on my nerves.”

 

“That shouldn't have. You should've just laughed and shrugged it off. What's wrong?”

 

“I guess I'm still P-O-ed about Naraku and what he's done to destroy what I thought was a life,” Kagome answered honestly.

 

“Well then go and apologize to Inuyasha `cause I bet he's in there with his jaw hangin' about to the floor,” Sango said.

 

Kagome laughed. “I guess you're right.”

 

Sango raised her eyebrow. “When am I not?” Both girls laughed. “Come on, I'll walk up with you.”

 

“Thanks, Sango.”

 

As they walked over to Kagome and Inuyasha's old room Kagome looked at Sango. Sango looked back. There was nothing funny about the moment, but they both laughed anyway. When Kagome got to the door, which was still open, Sango pulled Miroku away.

 

“I'm sorry, Inuyasha. I'm still pissed about Naraku and stuff. I didn't mean what I said.”

 

“Yeah, I am too.” Everything was quiet for a moment then Inuyasha asked, “Wait! Was this our first fight? If it is, just think about the—”

 

“Hey, just `cause I said sorry it don't mean you can turn it into a joke!” Kagome said sternly.

 

“But I thought we made up…”

 

“I was just kiddin'!” Kagome said. “Now c'mon `cause I want some new clothes!”

 

Inuyasha laughed and they left. He turned in both sets of keys and they took off, unaware of the two men in the black SUV watching them.

Sorry it took so long! I've been really busy here lately. My best news is that I will have another niece/nephew! My sister-in-law is pregnant. I have two nephews already, and now another on the way. I know, I sound like a little kid talking about it the way I am but I am so freakin' excited! My worst news is… well I don't really have any bad news. Oh well that's all I have to tell you.
