InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Little Moments ❯ Shh...! ( Chapter 19 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
So I decided to take a stab at a drabble series. I have been largely inspired by my favorite authoress, Forthright. I highly suggest you check out her stuff. Its amazing! This particular idea was given to me as I listened to "Little Moments" by Brad Paisley.
Explanation: This series will follow the first year of the newly mated couple of Kagome and Inuyasha. It will be small highlights throughout their relationship, moments when they remind each other why they love one another.
Disclaimer: I claim no ownership over these characters. They belong to the lovely Rumiko Takahashi! I just like to borrow them from time to time.
Updates will be short! You can expect to see a few updates a week unless otherwise noted. Now on with the show!
Little Moments – Shh...!
Snap. Chew. Pop.
Inuyasha flinched as each annoying sound grated over his senses. He glanced up from his work to watch Kagome. She was sitting at the kitchen table, looking innocent while she graded papers. But there was nothing innocent about that mouth and the offensive piece of gum she was currently munching on.
Snap. Chew. Pop.
He shook his head, trying to ignore the infernal noise. Eyes back to his paper, pencil poised in his fist, Inuyasha attempted to get back to work. A few seconds dragged by as he valiantly tried to focus, but his ears kept swiveling towards the sound and he found his right eye had developed a tick. He was so focused on the distraction that everything seemed louder. He could hear the clock ticking on the wall, the water rushing throughout the pluming, even the stupid cat purring in the other room. He couldn't take it anymore!
Snap. Chew. Pop.
Inuyasha stood up abruptly, accidentally knocking his chair to the floor. "Gah! Can you please stop it?! Shut the hell up!"
Kagome looked up in surprise, mouth hanging open slightly in disbelief. He could see the gooey culprit resting to the side of her tongue. He was half tempted to snatch it.
"Inu...? What is your problem?" she asked.
"The gum. I can't get anything done over here with you smacking away on it. The noise is driving me crazy!"
Kagome giggled a little bit at his outburst. "Alright, alright. I'll chew quieter. Is that ok?"
Inuyasha grumbled slightly but nodded and moved to pick up his chair. With one last look at his mate, he plopped back into his chair, happy to finally be getting something done.
Not a minute had gone by when he heard a much louder POP! The poor pencil in his hand didn't stand a chance, snapping under the pressure of his annoyance. For once he wished he had poison in his claws like his brother, it would be very satisfying to melt something right now. He turned incredulous eyes to Kagome, who was sporting a cheeky grin. "I'm sorry...sorry!" she managed to get out in between giggles. "I couldn't help myself! Look see? I'm spitting it out now."
She made exaggerated movements of rolling the gum into a piece of paper and tossing it into the waste basket. He narrowed his eyes at her as she replaced his pencil with one of her own and waved at him to get back to work. Finally, blessed silence!
Inuyasha's relief was short lived, however, when Kagome pursed her lips and began whistling a cheery tune. His head thunked onto the table as he let out a pitiful groan. Maybe he should go to the office today...
A/N: Hello everyone! Any of you have annoying habits? I confess I am a chronic gum chewer. I always have 5 or 6 different packs of gum with me at any given time. My husband is the whistler, which drives me nuts! But we all have little quirks that get on people's nerves. Thank you to my lovely reviewer inuyashaloverr! Please continue to read and review! I love hearing from you guys =^.^=
