Chapter 5
Patience is a Virtue


Kagome nibbled at the end of her pencil as she read over her calculus book. It was about as productive as not reading it at all. She had way too many things on her mind, including her main weakness, a certain silver haired beauty that decided to probe her mind and camp out for kami knows how long.

She clucked her tongue as she rolled away from her desk, look what she's turned into, a slacker, mom wouldn't be proud, she mused.

She heard an overly loud yawn behind her, and sighed in reply, "Yeah, yeah, I get it 'Hurry up, Kagome', 'You take forever Kagome', 'Kagome why study when there is no schoool' " Her annoying high pitched voice only made Inuyasha roll his eyes and scoff.

"That sounded more like you, then me, bitch." He said, sitting up, from his position laying on the bed glaring at the back of her skull.

He tapped his clawed index finger against his sheath. "Can we GO now?" He growled out.

She rolled her neck side to side, smiling. "Nope, I gotta go shopping, we've been gone for 2 days. I have to get some Tylenol for Miroku, since you decided to actually THROW your sheath at him. Why would you do that anyways?" She shook her head, "I must get Sango some energy bars, and Shippou needs candy, as per usual." She giggled, and stood up to face him.

"The kid doesn't need any more damn candy, woman. He's annoying enough as it is, and every time you give him candy he goes bouncing off the trees like a monkey."

Kagome pouted at this, and grabbed her bag from beside Inuyasha and started fishing through it. "But it makes him happy, Inuyasha. Even a sour puss like you should notice that." She glanced at him, then back at the bag, finding there were a total of 5 more ramen noodle bowls, but he didn't have to know that.

She did a fake gasp, "Inuyashaaa" She drawled with fake concern, "There is only one more ramen bowl here for you, that won't even last you a day."

Inuyasha stood up, eye twitching in irritation from defeat.

"C'mon, wench, what are you waiting for? Do I have to carry your slow ass?"

Kagome sighed, baka Inuyasha, can't be nice for more than an hour.

Miroku hissed as he poked at his black eye to check if it'd healed after 2 days. He never knew a black eye could make his whole head feel swollen. He glared at his reflection in the pond where he resided with Sango while Inuyasha and Kagome were away. Why did he deserve such treatment? What did the couple expect, a stubborn Inuyasha alone, in the hut he created, with a completely oblivious, beautiful priestess. They loved each other so much.

It took so much for Inuyasha to ask that they'd leave him and Kagome be through the night, that after he asked he went to goshinboku just to sulk in embarrassment. Miroku smiled at this. Kagome was oblivious to the fact he created that hut just for her. Inuyasha could have finished it in a week tops, but he spent so much longer just to make it perfect. He even added a room in the back, a bedroom.

Inuyasha and Kagome haven't even fully opened up to each other, he sighed. How long would it take before he told her that the hut was hers, if only she'd be his. Of course Kagome would say yes... but would Inuyasha ever ask?

He looked at Sango, and smiled, he wasn't one to talk. Of course she knew he wanted to marry her, once Naraku was defeated and his hand closed up, but that subject didn't come up for months now. It's like they completely forgot about it. He frowned at the thought, 'My dear Sango.. Waiting for Naraku to be destroyed feels harder than the journey itself.'

"Sangoooo," he whined to his beloved. She glanced at him, a blush spreading on her cheeks.

"Hes Miroku?" She smiled, shyly.

"Inuyasha's a bully, can you beat him up for me?" He smiled like Shippou when he got a new box of crayons.

Sango sighed in reply. "You walked in on him and Kagome..." Her blush grew a little darker and she stared in the opposite direction from the monk. "They were... closer than usual... and, y-you know how Inuyasha is. Too much pride. You asked for that."

Miroku pouted, sighing, "He didn't have to throw his entire sword, STILL in the sheath, at my face..., that was a little uncalled for." He raised his eyebrows at Sango. "Please beat him up? For me?"

Sango glared at him, "No Miroku. I think you deserved it."

"Sango, my love, you betray me so?" He pouted, his eyes getting glossy. He was getting too good at that. Sango felt her heart melt, and an odd liquid hot feeling burn within her stomach as she saw him, so helplessly gazing at him..

"Sango..?" Miroku questioned, why hadn't she answered for so long?

"Uh.. sorry, what did you say?" Her face turned Fire rat-robe red.

Miroke hunkered down against a tree with an angry pout. Sango just stared at the lake and kicked herself mentally for embarrassing herself over something so simple.

“OOOOH!” Kagome squealed as she quickened her pace in the mall. The reached the bathroom supplies, and she wanted some new shampoo, maybe something Inuyasha would like.

“Keh! This place stinks!” Inuyasha complained angrily and he covered his nose with his sleeve. Kagome clucked her tongue but continued down the row of soaps, hair products and moisturizers.

Her eyes widened as she grasped a bottle with roses wrapped around as a design. It had some western name she wasn’t familiar with. She opened it and her eyes shined with happiness, oh how she loved shopping for new stuff.

“Inuyashaa! Smell this one, isn’t it pretty?” After smelling it herself she moved the opened bottle of shampoo in Inuyashas face. He reluctantly moved his sleeve and gagged, stumbling backwards in the isle.

“AHH!” A short haired woman with her daughter screamed as he bumped into their cart and knocked it over.

“GAH!” Inuyasha hollered. He looked at the woman, then back at Kagome who had wide but amused eyes, then back at the woman again. Kagome laughed out loud at his defensive stance.

“I’m going back to the damn temple, fuck this!” He said as his eyes rolled back and he fell on his rear.

Kagome looked at the woman who was glaring at Inuyasha, and walked up to her. “I apologize, he’s not from around here. Here, let me help you with those groceries.” The woman nodded and smiled despite herself.

“Inuyasha... Inuyasha! Inuyasha no bakaaaaaaa!”

Kagome lightly slapped Inuyashas cheeks as to wake him up. With the help from one of the stores helpers, he was dragged out of the isle, at to the check out.

“Uh.. wha- buh? Damn ... hag... Kagome?” His eyes opened slowly, then as soon as he gained consciousness he grabbed his head and sneezed. He grunted, “I’m... never... coming here again.”

She smiled down at him and helped him up, thank goodness no one else was behind her in the line up.

“I’m so sorry Mrs. And Mr. Higurashi,” he began after he slid her card, “This will never happen again, we’ll make sure to install fans as soon as possibl-” He we suddenly cut off as an elderly man who couldn’t be higher than 5 feet whispered something to him. The elderly man bowed as his employee announced, “Mr.Yokami says that after this incident, we’d live to give you those groceries for free.”

Kagomes eyes brightened. “Oh my goodness, thank you!” She looked back at where Inuyasha was standing, stairing at the man with a confused face, not really sure what was going on. Then he want back to work stacking the boxes of ramen, pocky, water, energy drinks, soup and bottles of shampoos, face wash, body wash, tylenol and one pack of gum.

“Oh my...” The boss grumbled hiding his frustration.

Kagome squealed in delight as the walked down the street, Inuyasha holding 5 boxes in his arms, and Kagome holding 2 bags. “That was almost 200 dollars worth of stuff we just saved on!” She smiled brightly at Inuyasha, “Maybe we should go buy you some clothes for this time, hm?”

“Keh, I saved you money and you’re trying to drag me down for more shopping? Ungrateful wench..” He grumbled as he maneuvered around the streets. He was getting more and more pissed off as more people threatened to bump into him. If anyone broke his ramen bowls... which he’s not sure is possible, he’d have to murder them.. plain and simple. He could just jump off... no one would know.

He smirked to himself. He’d love to see the look on peoples faces if he had his sword with him.

“Noww,” She sang, “We go to Totosai’s!”

“I didn’t agree to that, bitch!” He said voiced muffled, glaring at her through the boxes.

“No Totosai, no ramen.” She said.





Ahhh Palpitation test or whatever it was called, didn’t go so bad. Turns out the heart pains were caused from stress and anxiety. Anxiety I know for a fact was a huge part in it, I panic about everything. *pout*

Again, I hope i’m getting better at writing! And yes, because of my anxiety I certianly do not like constructive criticism. Makes me all nervous and shiznat.
