Chapter 14: Kagome Doctor of the Drunk

 

 

Kagome struggled to unlock the door with Inuyasha leaning heavily on her for stability. He pushed the door open immediately collapsing onto the ground. He crawled forward a bit and Kagome closed the door behind them. For a second Kagome thought he was about to stand up but grimaced as Inuyasha began emptying his stomach onto the plush white carpet in front of the door.

 

“ Shit.” Inuyasha grumbled in pain still retching as Kagome helped him to his bathroom. He was absolutely helpless. `Inuyasha's probably going to spend the better part of the night hunched over the toilet.' Mused Kagome. She left him on the bathroom floor to clean the carpet in front of the door only to return to find him fallen over throwing up next to, not in, the toilet.

 

“ Inuyasha, stay sitting up!” She groaned and sat him up removing his shirt and tossing it into the hamper. Thank Kami he hadn't eaten before going to Miroku and Sango's… Actually maybe if he had eaten he wouldn't have gotten as drunk as quick.

 

“ Where is everybody? This isn't Miroku's apartment.” Inuyasha looked around his eyes red and half closed. It was the first coherent sentence in the past hour and a half.

 

“ Everyone is home now. We're at home now.” Kagome said softly as though she were speaking to a toddler.

 

“ What? Are you drunk?” He focused on her gripping her arm.

 

“ Of course not you baka.” Kagome smirked shaking her head, the prospect of her being drunk was… just ridiculous. Maybe not to him but if he knew her history then.. that would be another story... Inuyasha suddenly got a nauseated look on his face and turned to the toilet. His hand still holding Kagome's arm he squeezed as he retched, his claws accidentally digging into her pale skin. Kagome whimpered softly but it was lost in the sound of Inuyasha's heaving. Blood slowly dripped down her arm but she was a little too worried about Inuyasha's puking to notice.

 

Some time later he was ready to pass out for the night. She helped Inuyasha into his bed and brought him a glass of water and some ibuprofen. But he had stumbled to get up and was standing in his doorway after Kagome had left his room.

 

“ What are you doing?” Kagome asked completely exasperated. She stood in front of the hanyou with her hands on his hips. He pushed past Kagome careful not to push her too hard as he stumbled into the kitchen.

 

“ Hungry..” He grunted nearly falling INTO the refrigerator. He started taking out things to make himself a sandwich. Kagome walked into the kitchen and couldn't help but laugh.

 

“ You're completely helpless. Just sit on the couch and I'll make you a sandwich.” Kagome smiled to the hanyou.

 

“ You're soo awesome. I love you so much!” Inuyasha mumbled sleepily but loudly as he stumbled back into his room stubbing his toe on his door, knocking over his table lamp and end table before finally making it back to his bed. She shook her head sighing the hanyou was effectively slumbering. `First off I said COUCH and too bad he had to be completely sloshed to say I love you.'

 

Kagome spent the rest of the night cleaning his messes before falling asleep on the couch from sheer exhaustion.

 

 

 

Inuyasha awoke the next morning with his head pounding. His black curtains were pulled shut and the apartment was completely silent. He sat up slowly looking over to his alarm clock. He smirked a little bit as he found the glass of water and ibuprofen Kagome had left for him. He stood up slowly as pieces of the night before came to him. Going Miroku's party, taking shots, lots of beer, girls on the balcony and Kagome bringing him home. He walked into the dark living room his heart softening as he found the sleeping girl on the couch. The smell of cleaning products assaulted his sensitive nose.

 

`She must have stayed up all night taking care of me.' He took a blanket from her room and wrapped it around her. They went to the party together and he left her to go and get wasted. He felt like a complete asshole.

 

The rest of Inuyasha's senses were returned and it was Friday. They were supposed to go to his parents' house and they still had to buy his mom's present. `Shit!' He thought smacking himself in the forehead. He took a quick shower, packed up a suitcase for the weekend and went to a jewelry store that he visited frequently.

 

“ Mr. Takahashi! So early in the day!” Inuyasha groaned at the man's grating voice. The man bowed respectfully at Inuyasha. “ How can I help you this morning?”

 

“ I need a present for my mother and one for my roommate.” He scanned the store through his sunglasses looking for something that caught his eye. He picked out a diamond tennis bracelet with matching earrings and a necklace for his mother.

 

“ Might I suggest these handsome gold cufflinks for your roommate?” The jeweler suggested.

 

“ That'd work if it was a guy.” The jeweler raised an eyebrow and smirked. “ It's not like that you dirty old man.” Inuyasha growled.

 

“ Of course not sir!” Inuyasha looked around the store again and sighed with defeat. He couldn't find anything good enough for her. “ Just this then sir?”

 

“ Guess so, put it in a black velvet box would ya?” Inuyasha handed the man a credit card. He would find something to give Kagome at some point. The thought struck him.. when did he start feeling Kagome was a staple in his life. She was just a roommate. A person who he split the rent with. Nothing more.. nothing less. ` You fuckin' liar.' He told himself.

 

 

 

Inuyasha came home to find Kagome up and about lugging a suitcase towards the door.

 

“ There you are!” Kagome wiped a little sweat from her forehead. “Where've you been?” She smiled at him as she put her hands on her hips.

 

“ Out buying a present for my mother.” He kept his dark sunglasses on. The shades were pulled open and the sun was pouring in now.

 

“ I wanted to go!” Kagome whined frowning sadly.

 

“ You were sleeping.” He felt terribly guilty about making her take care of him.. She was always taking care of him.

 

“ You could have woken me up.” Inuyasha had a depressed expression on his face which was something foreign to Kagome.

 

“ Feh, it's not my job to be your damn alarm clock!!” Inuyasha snapped suddenly, Kagome's eyes squinted in anger and she stormed off into her room slamming the door behind her. `That boy has more mood swings than a pendulum.. He goes from saying I love you last night to looking completely broken to yelling at me.. GOD!' She thought sulking in her room.

 

“ Fine go Inuyasha! Just go maybe I can have some God damn peace and quiet in this apartment alone!” Inuyasha knew he shouldn't have snapped at her.. He didn't really understand why he did it..Well maybe it was because.. Feh, He wasn't going to waste his time thinking about the bitch. But it was too late for him to apologize even if hypothetically he did do anything wrong.. which he didn't.

 

“ Bullshit! How the hell is it going to be quiet here with all your incessant YAPPING!!” After Inuyasha yelled, the apartment was silent. And it remained that way for what seemed like an eternity. Kagome sat with her back to her door swimming in anger. Inuyasha leaned against a wall adjacent to Kagome's door, waiting for her to come out. She had to cave at some point.

 

RINNNNG!

 

Kagome picked up the phone as it rang.

 

“ Hello?” Kagome answered sounding miserable.

 

“ Hello, Kagome? It's Izayoi-sama.” Izayoi said cheerily.

 

“ You must want to speak to your son.” She said purposely leaving out Inuyasha's name. “Hold on a second.” Kagome opened up her door throwing the phone with all her strength smacking him straight in the forehead. Immediately she slammed the door again.

 

“ Miserable bitch!” Inuyasha muttered loudly to Kagome. “ARE YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME A FUCKIN' CONCUSSION?!?!”

 

“ Oh shut up!!” Kagome screamed through the closed door.

 

“ Hello?” Inuyasha answered.

 

“ Son?” Inuyasha groaned rubbing his red forehead. `Great.. She could have at least told me it was my mother..'

 

“ Oh, hi Mom.” His voice was strained with fake happiness.

 

“ When are you guys going to show up?” Izayoi asked a little bit concerned, obviously Kagome and Inuyasha were fighting. Knowing her son's temper and stubbornness it was probably as tense as a battle zone in their apartment.

 

“ I'm going ALONE. Because KAGOME is in a PISSY MOOD!” Inuyasha yelled.

 

“ What'd you do?” Izayoi asked her voice a little stern.

 

“ MOMM! I didn't do anything!” Inuyasha whined, he heard his mother sigh on the other end.

 

“ You better bring her and you two better be here soon!” Izayoi told her son her voice filled with fake anger.. Inuyasha didn't know it was fake.. Heh that's how she got him to clean up his room as a child. “ Now honey hand the phone back to Kagome.” Her tone returned to a motherly, more chipper tone.

 

“ Kagome, my mother wants to speak with you!” Inuyasha banged on Kagome's door with a heavy fist. Kagome opened the door and snatched the phone from his hand almost catching it in the door as she slammed it shut.

 

“ Now Kagome, don't let my son's idiocy stop you from coming here. Consider it a personal favor. I expect you BOTH to arrive in two hours. Bye.” With that Izayoi hung up. Kagome opened up the door and walked over to her suitcase.

 

“ Let's go.” Kagome lugged her suitcase to Inuyasha's car. After putting their things in the trunk Kagome went into the back of the car.

 

“ Why the hell are you back there?” Inuyasha asked as they began to drive.

 

“ Well back here I don't have to talk to you.. I know you HATE my incessant yapping.” Kagome curled up in the back of the car using a large jacket she brought as a blanket. Maybe things would be happier if she just took a little nap.
