InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ I'm On The Outside ❯ Morning Mishaps and Nighttime Revelations ( Chapter 3 )

AN: Okay so here's a longer chapter to make up for the short chapter last time. Just so you guys now Media Miner isn't letting me read all of my reviews right now, it sometimes can take up to a week before it lets me read them. But I thank you guys for reviewing and I'm glad that you're enjoying the story. Also some things in the beginning might seem far fetched, but it was something that happened to me when I was about this age so I think it's comical.

 

As always I own nothing that isn't my own!

Age 13:

 

Inuyasha bounded into Kagome's room screaming her name as he flung himself onto her sleeping form. Her arms and legs flew out in every direction possible as his weight crashed down on her.

 

“Inuyasha!” She screamed irritably as he rolled around on top of her to make sure she wouldn't fall back asleep.

 

“Good morning!” He said happily.

 

Kagome glared at him and pulled the covers up to her chin. “Have you ever heard of knocking?” She hissed at him.

 

“Feh, like that would have done anything!” He said, pulling her blankets. “Come on, get your butt out of bed.”

 

Kagome held onto the blankets tighter. “Inuyasha get lost, I'm not dressed.”

 

Inuyasha gave her a confused look before he continued to pull on her blankets. “So you're in your pyjama's big deal!” He said. “Besides we used to bathe together.”

 

Kagome's jaw dropped, not believing that he had brought that up. “That was one time and we were six years old! Besides we wouldn't have had to bathe together if you hadn't gotten all that gum in our hair and gotten us stuck together!”

 

“So?” He asked. “You also used to swim in the river in only your underwear!”

 

Kagome's glare narrowed to the point where she could barely see him through her eyelashes. She sat up and began poking him in the chest in irritation. “Listen you little…” She trailed off when she noticed that he was staring at her chest.

 

Kagome looked down and realized that her blankets had fallen away, revealing her sports bra. She blushed and quickly covered herself with her arms. She would have liked nothing more than to crawl into a hole and die right there.

“Whoa!” Inuyasha exclaimed, pulling at her arms to try and get a better look. “What are those?”

 

Kagome stared at him in shock, not believing that he had just said that. “Oh give me a break, you know exactly what those are!” She said. “And the reason why I know that you know is because we took sex ed together!”

 

“Okay fine.” Inuyasha said. “But when did you get them?”

 

Kagome buried her face in her hands, her face turning more crimson by the second. “God I hope I remember this moment when your voice starts changing.” She groaned. “I've had them for almost a year now.”

 

“And they suddenly got that big over night?” He asked, still trying to get a better look at them. He fell off her bed when her hand connected sharply against his cheek. “Ow! What was that for!”

 

“Not that it's any of your business, but I've been taping them down.” Kagome told him.

 

“Why would you do a stupid thing like that?” He asked, rubbing his stinging cheek.

 

“Because I was hoping that they would stop growing!” She yelled at him. “Who let you in anyway?”

 

Inuyasha reached up and scratched his ear before answering her. “Souta did, as him and your mom were leaving this morning.”

 

“What time was that at?” Kagome asked.

 

“Nine.”

 

Kagome looked at her clock. “Inuyasha, it's 11:44, what have you been doing this whole time?”

 

“Nothing, just watching TV, played some video games, played with Buyo for a bit.” Inuyasha said. “Your damn cat attacked me again by the way.”

 

Kagome studied him for several minutes. “Why do I not believe that that was all you did?”

 

Inuyasha shrugged. “I made some ramen, but that's about it.”

 

Kagome eyed him curiously. “How many packages?”

 

“Umm…” Inuyasha said, starting to move away from her.

 

“Oh no you don't.” Kagome said, grabbing onto his hair and pulling him toward her. “How many packages of ramen?”

 

“Six.” Inuyasha said. “What? I'm a growing boy!”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes and climbed out of bed, taking a minute to adjust her pyjama pants and grab a t-shirt. “Oh yeah, you'll be growing alright, but it sure as hell won't be vertically.”

 

Inuyasha followed her out of her room and down to the kitchen. “Well at least I cleaned up!”

 

Kagome gave him a dirty look before digging out something to eat for lunch. “I would offer you some food, but since you just ate almost all the ramen in the house, you're probably not hungry.”

 

The sound of Inuyasha's stomach growling answered for him. “I could go for some food.”

 

Kagome pinched the bridge of her nose before pulling out some extra food for him as well. After they ate they settled down in front of the TV and started a movie. “So what do you want to do today?” Kagome asked as Inuyasha settled on the floor in front of her.

 

Inuyasha shrugged. “I dunno, your mom said she was going to be gone all weekend.”

 

Kagome nodded and watched his right ear twitch. “Yeah that's why I invited you over and told you to bring enough stuff for two days.” She told him.

 

Inuyasha scratched his ear and turned to look at her. “Then why were you so surprised that I came?”

 

Kagome watched as his ear started to twitch again. “I wasn't expecting you so early.” She told him. “What's wrong with your ear, you got fleas or something dog boy?”

 

“No.” Inuyasha muttered. “Well not exactly anyway.”

 

Kagome sat up and started to move away from him slightly. “I don't want to catch some weird parasite from you.”

 

Inuyasha gave her a dirty look. “It's not like that!” He insisted. “A friend of my dad came to visit today.”

 

Kagome was starting to get irritated by the twitching and she reached out and rubbed the ear, letting her nails scrape it gently. “Who?”

 

“Myouga the Flea. He bit my ear and now it's driving me nuts.” Inuyasha told her.

 

“Why would he bite your ear?” Kagome said, almost laughing when his head tilted to the side.

 

“I don't know, he always bites me when he sees me.” Inuyasha told her.

 

“So why did he come to visit?” She asked, moving her hand to scratch his other ear.

 

“He came to explain some things to me and mom.”

 

Kagome gave an irritated sigh. “Stop making me guess and just bloody tell me!”

 

Inuyasha sighed, knowing that Kagome would press him until he told her. “Look, I just don't want to talk about it right now. Can we drop this and pick it up again later?”

 

Kagome shrugged. “Sure thing, just promise me that we will actually talk about this later.” Inuyasha sighed and nodded. “Good, want me to stop scratching your ears?”

 

“No. I like it when you scratch them, your touch is relaxing.” He admitted to her.

 

Kagome smiled to herself and continued to massage the soft triangles. They turned their attention back to the TV in front of them and watched their movie in silence.

Inuyasha stared out the window as Kagome pulled the pizza from the oven. “The sun's almost set.” He muttered.

 

“What?” Kagome asked, burning her arm on the hot element inside the oven. “Ow, shit!”

 

Inuyasha turned from the window and walked over to her. She had placed the pizza on top of the stove and was running her arm under cold water. Inuyasha grabbed a cloth and soaked it in the freezing water before he lead Kagome over to a chair. He sat her down and pressed the icy cloth to her skin.

 

“So are you going to tell me what Myouga had to say to you?” Kagome asked Inuyasha.

 

Inuyasha nodded. “First there are some things that I need to explain to you before I can explain about that.” He said, staring at her arm. “Kagome, have you ever noticed that I tend to stay home a lot when it's the beginning of a Lunar month?”

 

Kagome shrugged. “Not really, I always talk to you on the phone when we don't hang out.” She told him, taking the cloth from his hands. “Or else I'm out with the others.”

 

“Have you ever noticed something different about me when you talk to me?” He asked as the sun completely disappeared.

 

“No. Inuyasha, what is this all about?” Kagome asked, looking up from her arm.

 

She gasped when she saw him. His silver hair had become black and he was staring at her with dark blue eyes instead of gold ones. Her eyes instantly flew up to look at the top of his head and she almost wept when she saw that his ears were gone.

 

“Inuyasha?” She asked, reaching out to touch the spot where his ears usually sat. “What's going on?”

 

Inuyasha sighed and sat back, letting Kagome's hand slide from the top of his head. “All Hanyou's have a night where the demon blood in their body becomes dormant and they become fully mortal. Mine is on the first day of the lunar month, or when the moon is new.”

 

Kagome studied him sadly, absorbing everything that he had just told her. “Why did you wait six years to tell me about this?” She asked him. “Don't you trust me?”

 

“Of course I trust you!” Inuyasha said, grabbing her hand. “I couldn't tell you because my mom made me promise not to reveal it to anyone.”

 

“So why are you telling me about it now?” Kagome asked, starting to feel more than a little confused.

 

“Because Myouga told me some things tonight that mom and I agreed someone else should know just in case.” Inuyasha told her. “Someone who can watch out for me.”

 

Kagome studied him quietly for a few moments. “Well, are you going to tell me?”

 

Inuyasha sighed and nodded, throwing his black hair over his shoulders. “Well the thing with Hanyou's is that we develop very differently then humans and other demons. While most of the demons at school look like they're our age, they can sometimes be centuries older then us. Demons age slowly from the time they're born until the time they die. Hanyou's on the other hand age as mortals until they reach maturity. By the time I reach 18 I'll stop aging like you do and age like a demon.”

 

“So why do I need to watch over you then?” Kagome asked, confused.

 

“Because when I turn 18 there's a chance that my Demon blood could fully take over. Myouga told me how to keep it under control, but if my emotions get away from me, I might not be able to control the demon blood.” Inuyasha told her. “That's where you come in.”

 

“So I'm supposed to stop you from going into blood lust serial killer mode?” Kagome asked. “How the Hell am I supposed to do that?”

 

Inuyasha shrugged. “Myouga didn't tell me that part, but I guess it's because I know your scent so well, and you know I would never hurt you.”

 

Kagome sat silently for a few minutes before she smiled at him evilly. “I guess I could always rub your ears.” She laughed, earning her a glare.
