InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Midnight Ride ❯ An Abrupt Entrance ( Chapter 3 )

Ch. 3 An Abrupt Entrance

 

“I told you to wear a helmet.” Kagome's Mom glared at her daughter.

 

“I'm sorry.”

 

“You could have gotten a concussion.”

 

“I'm sorry.”

 

“I told you not to ride at night, I told you not to go into the wood. If you can't handle that, how am I to trust you home alone for three days?”

 

“I won't do it again.” Kagome sat down at the kitchen table.

 

“You said that last time, and here we are. You'll be staying with the neighbors.” Her mother joined her at the table.

 

“What?”

 

“I have to go, and you obviously can't handle being by yourself. Miroku said that he is perfectly fine with you staying over and he'd try his best to make you feel at home, while respecting my wishes.”

 

“Miroku? Seriously? I don't even know them.”

 

“You know the boys, right? You have no choice, don't bother arguing.”

 

“Mom! It's their fault I fell off and hit my head. They put up the fence on purpose!”

 

“Silence!” She got up and made her way up stairs, Kagome followed. “I'll give you the keys to the barn, take care of the horses, pack your bags, I'll be back soon.”

 

-o-

 

 

::Ding-dong::

 

“Why hello there!” Miroku smiled at his guests. It was a beautiful afternoon, about 2ish.

 

“Hello, I really appreciate this.” She smiled, but Kagome only glared at the ground.

 

“Oh, not a problem.” He took Kagome's bags and directed her to follow him to her room. She kissed her mother goodbye and followed him.

 

The house was huge, so much bigger than hers, and it was better furnished. Tables seemed to hug the crisp white walls, tables covered with books and papers, walls laced with random art. Nice hard wood floors with an occasional rug.

 

Neither of the boys appeared to be home. She followed him up the steps and down a hall, there were a couple of doors, all closed. This part of the house didn't seem as busy as the part below her.

 

“You can sleep in this room.” He set her bags down in a dark colored room; the only room that's door was open. “Or you could sleep on the couch in the living room, anywhere really! I won't be home much, but my home is yours!” He smiled, she gave a little grin back. “You can help yourself to the fridge, or whatever you want. I do want you to respect your mother's rules. I probably won't be here to enforce them, but I trust you.” He left the room, made his way down the stairs and out the door.

 

“What?” Kagome was confused. “Did he just leave? Am I in this house alone?” She looked around and decided to try and hear to see if anyone was home. She stood, struggling to hear a noise, a creak in the wood, anything that would show some sign of life.

Nothing.

She made her way through the upstairs hall, dragging her fingers up and down the walls. Most of the doors were locked, but she found a bathroom and a study filled with books. Someone liked to read. She made her way down stairs. She didn't want to be rude or anything, but she hadn't had breakfast and was starving.

 

She searched through the fridge: lots of frozen food, drinks and bread. Not too much in there. Kagome ate one of the frozen dinners. It was okay: chicken, mashed potatoes, corn. She went into the living room and threw herself on the couch. It was soft, maybe leather. She began flipping through the TV stations. They had more channels than she did too, mostly crap, but definitely more.

 

It was rather late, past dinnertime. She was beginning to get a little drowsy, and eventually fell asleep.

 

-o-

 

Inuyasha slammed open the door. “That was stupid, stupid clown. A snake, a stupid snake is all I got!” Inuyasha shook the balloon animal with frustration.

 

“You're stupid.” Sesshomaru sighed and made his way into the living room. “why would they have a clown in the book store, stupid children.”

 

Inuyasha jumped in front of his brother to beat him in the room, but stopped abruptly. “STALKER!” Inuyasha jumped into attack position.

 

Kagome awoke with a scream. She'd never been so startled in her life.

 

“Calm down.” Sesshomaru pushed Inuyasha, and he fell on the ground. “Remember father talking about a child staying with us for a couple of days? That must be her.”

 

Inuyasha got up. “Oh.” He brushed himself off. “You didn't have to push me.”

 

Sesshomaru turned around and made his way upstairs to his room. Inuyasha stared at his brother and then made his way over to the couch. “You're in my spot.” He waited for a second. “Move!”

 

Kagome sat and stared at him. She was still dazed from the drama that had just accrued.

 

“Move!!”

 

Kagome got up and Inuyasha took her place on the couch. “There are other places to sit, you know. Why couldn't you have sat there?”

 

“Because this is my house, my couch, my TV. ”Inuyasha changed the channel.

 

“I was watching that!” Kagome stood in front of him and folded her arms.

 

“No, you were sleeping, and now I'm watching this.” Inuyasha leaned to the side to see the TV.

 

“I was told I could do whatever I want here.” Kagome moved to get into his line of vision. “And that was rude of you to bust in here, and wake me up, and then yell at me to move.”

 

“Get over it.”

 

Kagome stood there, shocked. How could someone be so rude? She ran up to her room, grabbed one of the many pillows from the bed and threw it against the wall. `What's wrong with these people? How could my mother just leave me with these strangers!' She began to cry. `No, I guess it wasn't right of me to get up in front of him like that, but, still. Even if it's his house, he shouldn't act like that!' Kagome laid on the bed and buried her face in the pillows. `This is going to be a long three days.'

 

-o-

 

It was about nightfall now, and Kagome hadn't even checked on the horses. She just stayed in her room, entertaining her self with some of the random articles in the room.

She made her way down stairs, traveling to the kitchen door. Neither of the brothers were in sight. `I bet Sesshomaru is in his room.' The entire time she'd been in hers, all she could hear was Inuyasha making comments to the TV. She hadn't heard a peep from Sesshomaru. She made her way into the kitchen, and there was Inuyasha.

 

“Where do you think you're going?” He got up from his seat and stood in front of her.

 

“I have things to do.” She sighed and made her way past him, and through the door.

 

“Like what?” He followed her.

 

“I have to clean my horses stall.” She was about half way through his yard and could see hers. Even though his house was bigger, her yard was massive compared to his. She took pride in that, and smiled.

 

“You ride?”

 

She frowned. “Yeah, do you not remember?”

 

He stared blankly.

 

“You called me a stalker, and put up a fence. Then later you yelled at me and pushed me away.” They ducked under said fence, and made their way to the stable.

“Oh!” Inuyasha laughed. “ My bad!” He stopped and chuckled again.

 

She ignored him and kept walking. She was walking a little faster than normal. She was beginning to get annoyed with him.

 

"We didn't do that to hurt you, you know.” Inuyasha ran to catch up to her. “Really… We have just had problems with trespassers in the past, and it was about time to settle that. You know, thieves and such” He stared at her. “Plus, it's my house.”

 

“I would never steal anything from you.” She opened the door to the barn and made her way in. Inuyasha followed.

 

“I never said you did.” Inuyasha covered his nose. “It smells in here.”

 

 

A/N: AH!!!! Yeah… um… I don't ride horses… My bestest friend does, and I totally dedicate this horrible story to her. Mmm kay? I would ride if I could. I mean, I rode a couple of times, but I sucked… she rules at it, though.
