Fairy Tale

Chapter 32

I have no ideas…Well I do…I just can’t get them written down fast enough before I forget them. Stupid distractions!!!

‘One wish…One wish, anything I want…Anything I want…’ Kagome mumbled in her sleep and rolled over. She kept having strange dreams that always turned into nightmares. They were really starting to bug her. She tossed and turned all night, causing in her feeling exhausted, no matter how much sleep she had gotten the night before. For nearly two weeks, she went on like this, before tonight. Tonight was the three-week mark of her mother’s death. Quietly she stole out of bed and dropped to all fours, looking under her bed. She pulled out the book that had come to be so dear to her. Lovingly she ran her slender fingers across the cover.

‘Something about this book…Something Daddy knew I would find…He wants me to wish…He wants me to have something…What is it!?’ She grunted in frustration and pulled the book up with her.

“Something…” She whispered and sat on her bed with her back against the headboard.

She studied the fairy tales until sleep overcame her.

“Kagome…Kaaagooome.” He gently shook her shoulder. No response. “KAGOME! Wake the hell up!” He shook her violently to wake her up. She screamed bloody murder and punched him.

“Damn Kagome! You punched harder ‘en fuckin’ Sango!” The boy put his hand up to his injured eye. “I think you gave me a black eye! What am I going to tell people?! A girl gave me a black eye!?” He went on ranting like that for a full ten minutes. The girl blinked in confusion as to why there was some guy yelling at her at- 7:30 in the morning…’Wait…7:30!?’

“Shit!” She jumped out of bed and began dashing around the room, chanting a mantra of “Gonna be late! Gonna be late!” in a very singsong voice.

Miroku stared at the crazy girl. ‘Well…okay then…How weird.’

“You could have at least said ‘Hey Kags…It’s Saturday…’ But nooo! You let me run around like an idiot getting ready for school, when there is none! Stupid jerk!” She grumpily took a bite of toast. It was official…She really wasn’t a morning person. The poor boy sitting in the living room listening to her ranting was still nursing his injured eye.

“Why the hell did you wake me up at 7:30 on a Saturday morning anyway?” She glared at the back of his head. Oh, if only looks alone could injure. He felt her intense stared and rubbed the back of his head uneasily.

“I…I was b-bored…” Her eyes widened before narrowing in anger.

“You were bored!? Fucking bored!?” She slammed her glass she was about to drink out of down. “You’ve got to be kidding me! Ignorant ass!” She stormed off to her room to try to get a few more hours of shuteye.

“Damn…I’m still bored.” He grumbled to himself flipping through the channels of the TV. Knocking on the door drew his attention there instead.

“Where’d you get the black eye, ‘Roku?”

“Kagome.” He grumbled. Inuyasha laughed and shrugged.

“So where did you say everyone was?” Inuyasha turned his amber gaze towards the boy sitting on the other side of the couch from him.

“Uhh…Eri and Katsu took Shippou to the amusement park and Kagome is sulking in her room.”

“Sulking? Why?” ‘Did something happen?’

“I woke her up at 7:30...” His eyes widened.

“7:30!? No wonder!” He chuckled. Crashing could be heard coming from the room down the hall. They looked at each other.

“I’m not getting up.” Miroku folded his arms over his chest.

“Well I’m not getting up.” Inuyasha did the same.

“Can someone come help me!?” The muffled voice of the young miko reached their ears.

“I’m still not getting up.” He put his nose in the air.

“You have really pretty eyes…” Miroku slowly turned his head towards the hanyou. ‘Is he for serious!?’ The blank stare told him that, yes, the boy was serious.

“Uhh…Did someone just replace your personality chip when I wasn‘t looking?” He didn’t know what to say. The hanyou quickly put his hands up in defense.

“In a manly way though!!” Miroku nodded his head in understanding.

“Oh! No, no, no, your eyes are really pretty…In a manly way!” They smiled uneasily at each other before they heard Kagome calling to them once more.

“You know…If we are really quiet we can pretend we’re asleep! Yeah that’s it! And then, we won’t even have to get up!” He threw his fist in the air in a triumphant manner. “I swear I’m a genius.” He smirked to himself.

“I can hear you, you morons! Now come and help me!” They sighed in utter defeat and skipped, yes skipped, down the hallway singing, “Follow the Yellow Brick Road.”

“Uhh…Inuyasha, Miroku…Is there something you two aren’t telling the rest of us?” They looked at her in confusion. She laughed and had to explain herself.

“You both told each other that you both had pretty eyes-”

“In a manly way!”

“Riiight. Manly. And then you skipped down the hallway! Yes, I heard you skipping!” She put her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes at them. They lowered their heads in shame. Before shooting their heads up.

“Are you implying that we are gay!?” The both shouted in unison.

“Kagome, you know that I love women…Would you like me to prove it to you!?” Miroku stepped forward and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. She looked uncertainly at him. ‘Is he serious…’ A loud growl emitted from the hanyou.

“Miroku, if you don’t get your hands off of my Kagome in the next two seconds, I swear I will make sure you never reproduce.” Miroku’s eyes widened and he ran out of the room screaming like a banshee. Inuyasha and Kagome fell to the floor in laughing hysteria. Once they had calmed down, they stood up and brushed themselves off.

“So…What was it that you needed help with?” He inquired.

“Oh…” She looked around. “Getting that box up there down.” She pointed to her closet.

“What do you need it for?” He stood up and brought the box down. She hastily rummaged through it until she found what she wanted.

“Ah ha!” She ran over to her nightstand and picked up two little pictures. One was a picture of her and the other of Inuyasha. From a photo booth on one of their trips to the mall. She carefully placed them in the locket. Inuyasha smiled at the childish innocence of the pictures. But there was more to it. He furrowed his brow and picked up the locket.

The words Nonexistent Fairy Tale were printed across the pictures of them. His heart sank. ‘Does she think we are hopeless?’ He looked into her eyes with hurt shining through his.

‘Why does he have that look in his eyes? Did I do something wrong?’

“Inuyasha…I…”

“Kagome…” They both blushed. Ah how awkward silences always caused both parties to speak at once. He chose a different approach. He rushed forward and wrapped his arms tightly around her small frame. He buried his nose in the crook of her neck and breathed in her intoxicating scent.

“Kagome, I love you so much. Never forget that!”

“I know…And I love you….” He pulled away and held her at arm’s length.

“Then why did you write Nonexistent Fairy Tale on our pictures. Do you really think us to be so hopeless?”

“No! Inuyasha, I would never!” She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a light embrace. “That’s just what my life is…A nonexistent fairy tale…That’s all I…” She stopped and her eyes widened. “That’s it! I know what Daddy wanted me to wish for!” The hanyou stared at the miko like she had just sprouted a second head.

“He wanted me to wish for-”

“Kagome! Phone!” Miroku popped his head in the room. “…Did I interrupt something?”

Next chapter is the last and then maybe a prologue…I don’t know. I’ve really got to end this story so I can focus on Kagome’s Story and Do I Loathe Thee?. I’m sorry for taking a little while to update. But I really have been lacking in ideas. Plus, I’ve had a lot on my mind. Please review.

Could on wish erase all the pain; make my fairy tale come true?
