InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Irony ❯ Fibs ( Chapter 5 )

Hey guys. I hope you're enjoying the story so far. I love this whole thing. I don't really know who I want Kagome to be with...I'm not sure. Tell me what you want, and why. I'll think about it, and maybe your opinions will persuade me.

Chapter 5

I don't own Inuyasha

Kagome and Inuyasha hadn't spoken to each other in hours. It was now night, and they were about to approach a village, hoping that they could stay somewhere instead of sleeping under the stars. Kagome usually didn't mind sleeping under the stars with Inuyasha's faithful eye looking after her, but she felt like slapping him for earlier.

Besides being angry at Inuyasha, she didn't want to sleep outside because she felt a little weak. She had been on a journey, fighting demons nonstop and when she got a chance to go back, she almost got hit by a car and met Ikuto. Then she had to go to the wedding and now used a lot of her energy fighting with Inuyasha. She just wanted things to go back to normal.

Finally, Kagome spoke "I sense a jewel shard, and its coming fast."

Inuyasha drew out his sword, already picking up the scent of who was coming with the jewel shards. 'Good, I needed to blow off some steam!'

A tornado came right next to Kagome, and then it stopped suddenly, and then appeared none other than Kouga. "Hey Kagome" he said while placing his arm over her shoulder. "I was in the area and I picked up your scent, so I thought I'd check up on my woman."

Inuyasha began growling. "Take your hands off her right now, Kouga, or I'll rip your fingers off one by one!"

Inuyasha was instinctively jealous when Kouga came and started flirting with Kagome, but he didn't sound as angry as usual. Sure he was jealous, but wasn't really threatened. He wouldn't admit it to himself, but he felt very much threatened by Ikuto.

Kagome gently took Kouga's arm off of her and smiled. "Uh, hi Kouga."

The wind scar began to circle around Inuyasha's sword. "Alright Kouga, we settle the score now. I'm sick of playing around with you, and I want those jewel shards in your stupid puny wolf legs!"

"Shut up mutt face! If it's a fight you want, then I'll take you on right here, right now. After I kill you, I'm going to kill Naraku and take Kagome as my woman."

"You will not touch her! Besides, if anyone is going to kill Naraku, it'll be me. I told you to let your pack be avenged by me, but no. You had to be stubborn. Now you have to die!" Inuyasha was about to swing his sword when he heard his favorite (yeah right. That's just a joke) word.

"Inuyasha sit!" With another yell, he was once again in his now usual position. "What exactly are you trying to prove Inuyasha? Stop being such a tough jerk." Kagome sounded more restless than angry. She already began to miss being home, which didn't really happen that fast.

Kouga, was about to make more comments about Kagome being his and Inuyasha being a stupid, ugly, mutt face, but he hesitated when Kagome began to walk away. "Alright dog crap, what have you been doing to Kagome?"

"I haven't done anything!" he said while getting out of the hole. "You're what's upsetting her by insulting her!"

"I never insulted Kagome!"

"You called her your woman. I'd be pretty pissed off if I was forced to be with some one as stupid as you!"

Shippo sighed. "If she's upset about anything, it's about that boy that she met."

Kouga's ears couldn't help but pick up Shippo's words. "Boy? What boy?" Inuyasha grunted, knowing who Shippo was talking about.

"Inuyasha's just angry that Kagome dumped him and is now going out with Ikuto."

Inuyasha began pounding Shippo into the head over and over again. He didn't stop, no matter how much Shippo would cry out for help.

Kouga became pale. "What do you mean Kagome is going with Ikuto!" Kouga stopped Inuyasha from pounding on Shippo and grabbed Inuyasha by his clothes. "What's that little demon talking about?"

Miroku answered first. "Ikuto is someone Kagome has met and grown fond of."

Kouga didn't seem too worried. "That's alright. Whenever I meet him, I'll just kill him and take Kagome for myself."

"Too bad" said Inuyasha "there's no way you could possibly get to him, because he lives in Kagome's time period, and the only two who can pass through to her time is me and Kagome."

Kouga was infuriated and attacked Inuyasha, with no strategy, or thought to kill. He just wanted to recklessly hurt him. "What's the matter with you?" He began pounding on him, like Inuyasha was once doing to Shippo. "How could you let this happen? I can kill you, but I can't kill someone I can't get to. You idiot!"

Inuyasha punched Kouga's face, knocking him down. "I didn't do anything. Besides, you had no chance from the beginning! Just go, before I hack your stupid legs off!" Inuyasha was about to do the wind scar, but the quick Kouga was able to use his instincts and ran away. "See you some other time, Kagome!"

Inuyasha was enraged now. He needed to kill something, or at least make someone have pain. He's always wanted to kill Kouga, and since Kouga's a blood thirsty demon, he had no problem chopping him up into bits. Ikuto was an innocent human, but he at least wanted to wound him.

"Inuyasha" said Sango "don't you think you should make up with Kagome? You two have been going at it all day. She might just go back home if you don't get things settled."

"What did I do? I didn't do anything! Just get off my back!" Inuyasha observed Kagome who was sitting off into the distance, staring into the sky. He thought she was beautiful, and couldn't stand the thought of someone else taking her, but he couldn’t stand the thought of not being with Kikyou, and he couldn't help it. He had been on his own ever since his mother died, and he learned to love again. If it wasn't for Naraku, he and Kikyou would be together. Fate was indeed cruel. It took his heart and killed it: with a scared arrow.

No matter how much Inuyasha felt for Kikyo, he still couldn't help but think about Kagome and want to be with her, even though he wouldn't admit it to himself or really anyone else. Sure everyone sees it as obvious, but confessing was something he couldn't bring himself to do.

"Inuyasha" said Miroku "just talk to her."

Inuyasha grunted and growled, but after several minutes of just watching the sad expression on Kagome's face, he had to try to make it go away. "Kagome" he said as he sat by her side "why are you angry?"

She shook a little bit, and yelled in frustration. "What don't you get Inuyasha? You get all jealous of me, and then you reject me, and then you want me again, but you still at the same time want someone else. You can't like two women at the same time! It's not morally possible!"

Inuyasha blushed for a moment. "L-like? Who said I liked you?" Inuyasha was trying to be angry, but he was so red with guilt, that it was ridiculous.

Kagome wanted to yell at him, but when she saw his stupid expression, she smiled and began to chuckle lightly.

"What? What's so funny?" Inuyasha was getting angry, but he was still red in the face.

"Oh Inuyasha, it's just that you're face is funny right now."

Inuyasha eyed her as if she was crazy and crossed his arms. 'Women. I'll never understand them.'

"Looks like they've made up," said Sango from afar.

"Good. I was getting tired of the silence." Miroku noticed that Sango had a smile on her face, happy that Inuyasha and Kagome began to make up...sort of. Miroku placed his hand on Sango's shoulder, which made her blush, but she tensed up, knowing what was coming. Miroku quickly placed his hand on her but and stroked it again, and again, and again.

Sango created a fist and bopped him as hard as she could, and then gave him a slap. While Miroku was holding his hot hand print, Sango grunted angrily. 'Why can't he get it? Why can't he be romantic?' Even when being angry, she couldn’t help but smile inside.

Present Time

The next day, Ikuto decided to check up on Kagome. He wanted to see her. What she had said that night of the wedding stunned him. He had really never met some one who was completely alright with him. It wasn't just the fact that his mother was different; it was the fact that his father was such a respected man of the world, but especially in Japan. After his first marriage didn't work out and he remarried to someone in a total different country, many people took offense to that.

When Ikuto saw Kagome's grandfather sweeping, he sighed. 'I wonder if he's got some stupid story.' "Hello, is Kagome home?"

A sweat drop appeared on grandpa's head and he coughed. "Oh, Kagome is sick again today. She hasn't been to school since the wedding."

"Is this another lip fungus day or is it something new?" Ikuto had a major attitude with grandpa. All he knew was that he was lying and he figured it was for the same reason that just about everyone else didn't like him. "Oh, if that's the case, then can I see her and wish her well?" He smirked, a devious smirk. 'I've got this lying old man now.'

"Well, uh..." grandpa really starting sweating now. "Oh, well it's contagious! I don't want you to catch it. Kagome would feel horrible if you became ill."

Ikuto grunted. "Oh then, what does she have?" Ikuto tried to calm down, thinking that he wouldn't have a good story, but he was still gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"Well...it's " Grandpa smiled. "Yes, she has tuberlercolosisapatitis."

"That's not a real sickness!" Ikuto was trying to be patient, but he could only try so hard. The old man was being unreasonable.

"It's a new rare virus that only girls her age can catch."

"If it's new, then how come she's not in a hospital?"

"Well...uh?"

"And if it's new, then how come it hasn't been in the news? And if it's contagious, then how come you haven't been infected? Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot, that it only effects girls her age, so I guess I have to come back to my original question, can I see Kagome!" Ikuto was yelling at the old man, enraged that he wouldn't accept the fact that he was caught up in his own lie. 'Come on stupid old man, I've got you now. There's no way you can lie again.'

"Well," grandpa said with uncertainty "I guess I might be mistaken." He sighed. "I have been lying to you, young man. Kagome is not sick."

Ikuto crossed his arms. "Well...can I see her already?"

"I would let you," grandpa became calm "but...she doesn't want to see you."

Ikuto fell anime style with his leg twitching up in the air, and then quickly got back up, and started yelling. "After all that bull you told me, you want me to believe you?"

"Well..."

"Hey, Inuyasha!" yelled Souta as he came outside to see what the yelling was about, but when he got closer and took a better look at him, he realized it wasn't Inuyasha.

"Sorry kid, but I'm not Nunuyasha or whatever you just said."

"Oh, I'm sorry. You just really, really look like him."

"Are you by chance Kagome's little brother?"

"Yeah. That would be me. I'm Souta. If you're looking for Kagome, she's not here."

Grandpa's mouth dropped and he gave Souta a stern look. 'I can't believe he blew everything when this young man was starting to believe me.'

Ikuto eyed grandpa with an evil death glare. 'That no good liar. He could have just told me she wasn't here.' "When will she be back?"

"I don't know when she'll be back" replied Souta. "She could be gone for days or weeks."

"Weeks?" replied Ikuto with unbelief. "But that's insane! Why would she be gone that long and you have no idea when she'll be back?"

"Oh, that's because she's with Inuyasha fighting de-"

Grandpa hurried over to Souta and covered his mouth. "Excuse him. He lets his imagination run wild sometimes."

’Yeah, must run in the family' thought Ikuto. "I want to know when Kagome will be back. When ever she comes back, will you have her give me a call?"

Souta forced grandpa's arm away. "I'll be sure to tell her."

Ikuto smiled at the boy. 'He's not crazy like this old man.' "See you later kid." As Ikuto left, he thought about how Kagome called him Inuyasha, and the little boy calling him Inuyasha, and Kagome's reaction to his name when they talked about Inuyasha at the wedding. Some how when they were together, Inuyasha was some how mentioned. It wasn't a lot, but it was enough to get Ikuto’s attention. Now, Kagome was with Inuyasha doing something for days, or maybe weeks. 'What are they doing? When is she coming back? Does she have a thing for this guy?' He sighed. 'Do I have a...thing? NO! That's impossible!'

Feudal Era

Kagome yawned, since she was still tired from waking up so early and leaving. She wanted to enjoy her weekend, but it seemed that she would really never get a chance to sleep in and be lazy like some other teenagers. 'I wish I could just relax for once. The closest thing I've ever done to relaxing was tripping at a Billionaire’s wedding and embarrassing myself.' A flash came into her head for a quick moment. It was Ikuto's warm smile, when he helped her back up again. For that moment, her heart stopped and she blushed. 'What was that? What's wrong with you, Kagome? Why are you thinking about him? Why is your heart racing now? He's not Inuyasha. You can't be in love with him.' She placed her hand on her chest, to see if the moment was actually real. 'I-I never said that I did love him. Why am I denying it?' She ran her fingers through her hair and began to bite her lip. 'I don't have to deny anything. I don't have any feelings for him. I don't! I have feelings for Inuyasha.'

"Kagome" said Inuyasha full of concern "are you alright? I mean, you don't look well."

Kagome nodded. "Yeah, Inuyasha. I feel fine."

"He's right Kagome" said Miroku. "Perhaps we should rest a little while longer."

"But I'm fine." Kagome expression didn't look quite convincing. 'Who are you kidding? You feel light headed and like you're gonna through up. You need some rest.' She bit her lip again. 'Oh, but you were just home. You've got to stay here and help your friends.'

"You know Kagome," Sango added "you don't look well. You look as if you're going to faint."

Kagome had red in her face, and she did feel weak. She thought she was going to fall, but the thought of Inuyasha being there to catch her was almost worth falling. 'Who wouldn't want to fall into Inuyasha's arms?'

Miroku placed his hand on Kagome's forehead. "Kagome, you're burning up. I think we should rest."

Inuyasha crossed his arms. "If she needed rest then she should have stayed home!"

Kagome nodded. "Inuyasha's right. I can go on." Kagome stumbled as she tried to walk, and fell into Inuyasha's arms, and turned even redder then the shade that was on her face. 'Okay, I didn't plan this, but...this is nice.' "I'm fine, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha looked worried and picked her up. "Kagome, you should rest."

"But I'm okay."

"No, I'm going to take you back home, and you're not going anywhere until you get better." Sango, Shippo, and Miroku were impressed with Inuyasha's maturity on the situation, but little did they know what was running through his mind. 'I'm not letting her go anywhere. I don't care what happens. She's not going anywhere and she's especially not going to this boy!'

Present Time

Inuyasha was in a hurry to get back to his own time, so he did everything in order to keep Kagome comfortable, so she could get better. They had come to the present time two days ago, and now Kagome was feeling comfortable.

"Inuyasha" Kagome said "you don't have to stay around me every second. I feel good enough to go back now."

"Are you sure, because I'm not going to do this every time you get sick or weak. You better be well, because we're not coming back so you can get rested."

She smiled. "Okay Inuyasha. Now, just go take a shower or something while I get ready."

Inuyasha grunted. "Okay, but remember what I said. I can't do this every time, Kagome. You're starting to slow me down."

Kagome rolled her eyes as he stood up. "Inuyasha..."

When he looked back at her, she smiled.

"Thank you for everything."

Inuyasha smiled as well, and then walked out of the room. Inuyasha walked to the bathroom, and observed it very closely. He knew what a bath was, and even understood the concept of the tub. Of course he would, but why do it standing up? 'Why does it matter if you stand or sit?'

Souta then came into the bathroom and then shook his head. "You don't know how to do this?" Souta walked over to the faucet and lifted a knob, causing the warm water to turn on and come out of the showerhead. "That's how you do it."

Inuyasha eyed the shower carefully in amazement. 'He made it rain!'

Souta smiled, thinking it was cool having Inuyasha around and then went to Kagome's room. Kagome was dressing, so when Souta opened her door, she quickly covered herself with a blanket. "Souta! You're such a little pest! You should have knocked."

"Sorry, I just wanted to tell you that some guy named Ikuto called, and I told him you were here!" Souta left out of the room, hurt for being called a pest.

Kagome began to panic and got dressed as fast as she could. When she was dressed, she ran out of her room into the kitchen were her mother was making some snacks. "Mom, did Ikuto call for me?"

"Yes. He's such a nice boy. He called asking if you were home and when your grandfather told him you had a fever, he insisted on coming over and checking up on you."

"What?" Kagome was not excited at all. 'He probably didn't believe grandpa because of his usual lies.' "Oh great! I don't want him to come over here now!"

"I told you she had a fever!" said grandpa's voice from outside.

"Well, you haven't been truthful about all the other times I came over, so why should now be any different?"

"I told you, she has a fever! I'm not lying, and you're insulting me by saying that I am!"

"Then be insulted, old man!"

Kagome gulped, knowing that Ikuto was already here, arguing with her grandpa. 'Great, Inuyasha and Ikuto under one roof?That's not good. Only one of them will probably be alive by the end of the day, and I've got a feeling that it's going to be the one with the claws and fangs!'
