InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ I'm On The Outside ❯ I Can See Through You ( Chapter 7 )

AN: Okay I just want to touch on a few things after receiving one hell of a nasty email from someone. This is a little thing called “Fan Fiction” yes Inuyasha is an ass most of the time in the manga and anime, but that is because he grew up alone and was constantly ridiculed.

 

In my story, he is a nice guy most of the time because he didn't go through all that stuff. His mother is alive, views on Hanyou in the world I created in this story are still a little harsh, but he is accepted, and he's had Kagome as a friend since he was little.

 

As for my reasons behind Kikyo being a bitch, well I've explained those already so I'm not about to whip a dead horse. If you don't like my story there is a simple solution, DON'T READ IT! I have no problems with people not reading my stories. I refuse to tailor it and make it something other than what I have intended because someone is throwing a little hissy fit!

 

Now, in the next chapter we are going to see how much the tension between Kagome and Inuyasha grows. I was going to put it in this chapter but I covered other issues a little more than I expected to at first.

 

As always enjoy and review if you wish. I don't own anything that isn't obviously original.

Kagome jerked awake as the sound of her cell phone ringing disturbed her sleep. She had been tired after school and had opted on taking a nap while the rest of her friends figured out how to spend their Friday night. She glanced at her caller ID and cursed Sango's name before she pressed the button to connect the call.

 

“Please tell me someone died or is in the hospital.” She muttered.

 

“Not unless you count Miroku's trip to the hospital today.” Sango told her.

 

Kagome yawned and rubbed her eye. “Why, what did he do now?”

 

“Nothing surprisingly enough.” Sango told her. “He was up against Inuyasha in PE class and they're doing a boxing unit.”

 

“Inuyasha kicked his ass huh?”

 

“Big time.” Sango giggled. “Now for the purpose of my call, you know that new club that opened last week?”

 

“Onyx or something right?”

 

“Yes ma'am.” Sango said lying down on her bed, ignoring the faces Kohaku was making from her doorway. “Well yours truly has acquired some passes to get in tonight. Apparently it's got music levels that are perfect for Youkai hearing.”

 

“That's awesome!” Kagome exclaimed. “Are we old enough to get in?”

 

“Yeah we are. They have these stamps that they put on minors and the soap in the club won't wash it off. It only washes off when you wash your hands anywhere but inside the club.” Sango told her.

 

“I'm so there.” Kagome told her, climbing out of bed.

 

“So are you going to ask both Kouga and Inuyasha to come?” Sango asked her.

 

“Yeah, why wouldn't I?”

 

“Well you know how those two tend to behave when they're together.” Sango told her. “I don't want to get kicked out because of hormones.”

 

Kagome sat quietly and pondered the situation. “Well Inuyasha will behave if I ask him to.” Kagome said. “Look can you call Kouga and ask him if he wants to come and I'll call Inuyasha and ask him to behave.”

 

“Sure. Do you need a ride?” Sango asked.

 

“No either Inuyasha or I will drive.” Kagome told her.

 

They agreed on a time and hung up. Kagome needed to plan out how to break the news that Kouga would be coming to Inuyasha. She raked her hands through her hair as she thought about what to tell him. She finally sighed and reached for her phone.

 

“I thought you were going to take a nap.” Inuyasha said as he picked up his phone.

 

“I was, but Sango phoned and woke me up.” Kagome told him.

 

“What did she want?”

 

“Apparently she landed passes to go to Onyx tonight.” Kagome told him.

 

“Hmm, must be because Miroku's birthday is tomorrow.” Inuyasha said.

 

“Oh yeah, I forgot about that.” Kagome said. “Wait a minute, his birthday is tomorrow and you kicked his ass in boxing?”

 

“Yeah, after all, today wasn't his birthday now was it?” He asked defensively.

 

Kagome rolled her eyes. “Nice Inuyasha.”

 

“So who's all going tonight?”

 

“Uh, everyone.” Kagome said, trying to sound casual about it.

 

“Everyone including Kouga?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“Don't use that tone.” She whined. Come on, if this is really for Miroku's birthday then you'll hurt his feelings if you don't go.”

 

Inuyasha sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “So basically what you're saying is if I don't go you won't talk to me for a while huh?”

 

“Pretty much.”

 

Inuyasha could just picture the smile on Kagome's face. “Fine, I'll go, but as soon as he starts in on me, I'm outta there.”

 

“Agreed.” Kagome told him. “And if you leave, I'll leave with you. Do you want me to drive?”

Inuyasha shook his head. “No, I'll drive, that way you're forced to leave with me.” He smiled at the sound of Kagome's laugh. “Have you eaten yet?”

 

“Not yet, Mom and grandpa are at a PTA meeting and Souta's out with his girlfriend.”

 

“Okay, let me change clothes and then I'll grab some food and come over.”

 

“Alright, I'm going to hop in the shower, so just let yourself in.”

 

They hung up their phones and each of them set about to their own routines. Kagome grabbed her underwear to change into and headed to the shower. She let the hot water wake her up and ended up staying in there longer than she had planned.

 

She stepped out and dried off before pulling her underwear on. Just to be on the safe side she pulled on her robe but left it open. She had once run to her room in a towel that was far too small for her. She found Miroku and Inuyasha sitting on her bed. Inuyasha she could have dealt with since he would have looked away, but Miroku had tried to pull the towel off of her. The thing that had prevented her from being exposed was Inuyasha successfully knocking Miroku unconscious and giving him a black eye.

 

She walked into her room and found Inuyasha sitting on her bed, eating a slice of pizza. “You better not be getting pizza sauce on my bed!”

 

Inuyasha glanced at her and almost choked on his pizza. The red robe that she was wearing was hanging open revealing her black bra and matching underwear. “I-I'm being careful.” He stammered, looking away quickly.

 

“Good.”

 

Inuyasha lowered his head, hiding his eyes behind his silver hair. He raised his eyes and watched from underneath his hair. Kagome slid her robe off, not really caring if her saw her or not.

 

“Hold it, what are you wearing?” Inuyasha asked suddenly. Kagome grinned to herself not knowing why it pleased her so much to know that he had peeped.

 

“I'm wearing my black skirt, why?” She asked him innocently.

 

“You're wearing your black skirt and you're wearing a thong under it?” He demanded.

 

Kagome sighed and rubbed her temples. “It's more common then you think Inuyasha.” She told him. “If it bothers you that much, pretend you didn't see it.”

 

“Kind of hard when you're changing right in front of me!” He told her.

 

“Hey you sat yourself in this room. I said let yourself in, but I didn't mean into my room. If you don't like it, leave!”

 

Inuyasha stared at the pizza box sitting on her bed. If he left it there he ran the risk of not getting anymore pizza. Kagome may be thin, but she could definitely eat like a horse if she wanted to. In fact one time he and Miroku had challenged her and Sango to an eating contest. It resulted in Kagome eating an entire large pizza and a plate heaped with salad. She had also spent most of the night in the bathroom bringing it all back up.

 

However, there was an even worse downside to staying where he was. Staying meant that he ran the risk of her thinking he was a pervert for sitting there while she changed.

 

“I didn't realize that it was a question that needed such deep thought.” Kagome teased him.

 

“I'm just trying to figure out how much pizza I'd lose if I left the box here.”

 

Kagome scowled and threw a shirt at him. “God, the one time I ate more then my fair share!”

 

She held up two shirts for him to choose from. “Red.” He muttered, grabbing another slice.

 

The choice didn't really surprise her. His favorite color was red and when ever he bought her something it was almost always in that color. She pulled the shirt on and turned her attention to the mirror; she reached over and turned on her curling iron before applying her make up.

 

She heard Inuyasha sigh behind her and she glanced at him in the mirror. He was sitting up, but he was obviously lost in thought as he stared out her window. She stood up quietly and crossed the room. She sat down in front of him and leaned her chin against his knee.

 

“What's wrong?”

 

Inuyasha looked down at her and grimaced inwardly at the sight of her painted face. He hated when she wore make up, he thought that it took away the natural physical beauty that she already possessed.

 

“Nothing.” He lied.

 

“Yeah right. Have I ever told you that you're a terrible liar?” She said, turning her head so that her cheek was pressed against his knee. “What is it?”

 

“I was just thinking of Kikyo.” He admitted.

 

“Kikyo?” Kagome asked, unable to hide the disgust in her voice. “Why the hell are you thinking about Kikyo?”

 

Inuyasha sighed and played with Kagome's hair. “I wasn't really thinking of her, I was more thinking about how I missed having someone.”

 

Kagome looked up at him in surprise. “What do you mean?”

 

“Well, you have Kouga and Miroku and Sango have each other, I just don't want to spend the rest of my life alone, ya know?”

 

Kagome sat back, her mouth open in surprise. “Inuyasha, you're not even 18 yet!”

 

“Yeah, but you and I both know that come graduation Miroku is going to propose to Sango.” Inuyasha told her. “Besides, I'm sure Kouga would do the same thing.”

 

Kagome sighed and pulled away from Inuyasha. She turned and pressed her back to the mattress and wrapped her arms around her legs. “Yeah I guess so.”

 

Inuyasha looked down at her in shock. “What do you mean?”

 

Kagome shrugged and played with the threads of the carpet beneath her toes. “I think Kouga is more serious about me then I am of him.”

 

Inuyasha slid off the bed and stared at her. “I don't understand, I thought that you were in love with him.”

 

Kagome scoffed and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. “Did I ever come out and say that?”

 

Inuyasha shook his head. “I just assumed from the way you acted that you did.”

 

Kagome sighed and laid her head on his shoulder. “I have no doubt that Kouga is crazy about me, but I'm just starting to lose interest in him. Ever since he turned 18 he's been moody and all he does is drink and race his stupid car against his friends.”

 

Inuyasha leaned his head against hers and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. “So why don't you break up with him?”

 

“Frankly, I'm afraid to.”

 

Inuyasha's whole body stiffened at those words. This was Kagome, the girl who had more than once delivered a beating to someone who had made fun of him when they were younger. Kagome didn't get scared.

 

“Kagome,” Inuyasha started, his body becoming more and tenser. “Has he hurt you in any way?”

 

“No Inuyasha.” She muttered quietly.

 

Inuyasha's body relaxed somewhat at that, but he frowned when she climbed to her feet and wouldn't meet his gaze. She turned all her attention to curling her hair and styling it in a way that he briefly remembered hearing Kouga say that he liked. He wondered if maybe Kouga was abusing Kagome on a non-physical level.

 

“Ugh what am I doing?” Kagome asked, grabbing her brush.

 

“Kagome, if you don't love him why are you trying to please him?” Inuyasha growled.

 

Kagome turned and stared at her friend. “I'm not trying to please him.”

 

“Then why that stupid hairstyle.”

 

Kagome's eyes dropped to a glare. Inuyasha was positive that if she could have she would have him eating dirt right now after she slammed him around. “I was giving it a try after Kouga asked me to, not because it would please him.”

 

“Well obviously if he asked you to try your hair like that it would please him!” Inuyasha said, climbing to his feet.

 

Kagome had had enough of his attitude. “Look, just because I said that I would try something that someone thought would look nice on me doesn't mean I'm doing it to please them! I can try out suggestions you know!”

 

Kagome's finger was poking him in the chest and each poke was getting a little rougher. Inuyasha grabbed the finger that was incessantly poking him and looked her in the eye. “Kagome, if he ever does anything, I want to know alright?”

 

Kagome sighed and nodded, letting Inuyasha wrap his arms around her.
