"Next town we pass, we have to pick up some food." Kagome said, fishing out two of the few remaining sandwiches. "What? How the hell did we eat that much so fast?" InuYasha queried over the fire. "They're going bad. Didn't you notice they're stale?" "They're fine!" "No they're not! I don't wanna die of food poisoning!" "You won't die." "I'll get sick at least!" "So let me eat them." He replied around a bite. "And if you get sick?" "What do you care if I get sick?" "I don't wanna have to listen to you complain about how sick you are, not to mention it would tie us up for days!" "Fine, how much money ya got?"
Kagome stopped eating and looked up at him. "Don't tell me.." InuYasha breathed. "I thought you had money.." "Fuck! Do I look like someone with money!?" "Well you're supposed to protect me! That means more than just keeping me alive!" "Well fuck! Aright.. I'll think of
something.."
"Think of anything?" Kagome asked as they started on the road the next morning. "What am I gonna do, pull it outta my ass? Wait till we get to a town." "Then what?" "Then I'll see what options are available! Now stop askin' questions!" "Will it be illegal?" "Are you writing a Godamn book!? Shut up." "As soon as you step off I'm going to say it, InuYasha." Kagome replied matter-of-factly. "Yeah yeah, I know. Godamn you are a troublesome broad.."
Thankfully, they came up on the next town late the same day. Well, thankfully for Kagome. InuYasha hated the town immediately because of what would happen to him when they arrived.
As usual, InuYasha stopped a distance outside of town; a good sized one they had spotted from a hill. For a moment he sat still, gathering his nerves. Behind him, he could feel the girl smile in anticipation.
He slowly lit a cigarette and took a drag. "You are evil." He said, throwing one leg over the bike. "Last words, InuYasha?" "Feh." InuYasha jumped off the bike to meet his fate, which Kagome happily provided.
When he had risen to his feet, Kagome was dusting herself off. The action earned her a glare. "It was dusty on the road." She offered. InuYasha's glare deepened. "I know."
InuYasha put the bandana back on his head as they walked through the deep blue summer twilight. To the city girl, like all the country she had seen before, it was a beautiful day. 'If only a certain someone would just be agreeable for once.'
By the time they had reached town, night had fallen. "Ah shit.. Looks like we'll be here overnight." "What? Where? We have no money."
"Fool city girl, a lot of towns leave deserted one room traveling houses for wanderers such as ourselves. We'll stay in one of those."
Kagome found this fascinating, and let him finish before extracting her revenge for the 'Fool city girl' crack.
'House' was an overstatement. It was a large walk in closet with no room. It was made of wood and had an open fire pit in the middle. There was some straw stacked around, presumably for bedding. It was a fire waiting to happen.
"I'm going to look for some money. Try not to get killed." InuYasha said, leaving Kagome alone.
Okay, he had lied. He did have some money. But he had better use for it. InuYasha headed for a pub in town.
Kagome sighed. 'Bastard. Leaving me alone like this, like I'm a kid. Well whatever. About time I got some time to myself anyway. Let him do what he wants. At least I can get a good night's sleep for once.'
Kagome threw her sleeping bag on the hay and crawled in. She couldn't help but smile at her cunning. She had the soft support of the straw, without getting poked by anything.
InuYasha took his seat on a stool and ordered a beer. 'The girl was right, we do need some money.. push comes to shove, I could rob a bank, but that presents problems if I ever have to come back this way.. Damn, may have to get a job..' His ears twitched under the bandana, searching through the conversations to pick out any shady deals going on.
Kagome woke up an hour later. 'Damn, it's too hot. Forgot straw insulates heat.' She thought, deciding the sleeping bag would be the one to go. She laid back down the straw on and tried to get comfortable.
As a cool breeze blew in, and she smiled to her self. 'Ya know, this ain't too bad. I don't have to do much. Just put up with InuYasha, and it is kinda fun to sit him.' She dug herself deeper into the straw.
'Heck, it's even getting easier. I'm getting used to being on the bike, and even though I was a little scared at the time, I've never been in any real danger from a demon since we started. Hell, might even be fun. I mean, I'm seeing things I never woulda seen at home.'
She rolled over and rested her head on arm her before drifting off. 'I can't wait till tomorrow, see what happens then.'
InuYasha sighed. Nothin'. No opportunities had presented themselves. Robbery seemed unavoidable. He let his ears drop. No need to continue looking for work.
He took a drink from his beer. 'No money, stuck carrying around those fucking demon magnets. Not to mention the girl..' He sighed again.
'No word of Kikyo, nothing...' He stared into his beer. 'Dammit Kikyo, where are you?' Somewhere in the bar, someone started a song on the jukebox. A slow, bluesy tune that fit him perfectly.
He smiled grimly and stopped thinking, the music filling his head.
'Tomorrow I get to hear Kagome bitch at me, then continue looking for money. Meanwhile, we starve, and Kikyo still isn't by my side.' He sighed. 'Tomorrow comes a day too soon..'
InuYasha stumbled into the 'house' three hours later. He slumped down against the wall on the side of the door. He looked up at the girl across from him. She had curled up and passed out on the little straw bed.
'Jesus, she looks so calm and peaceful... and so much like Kikyo..'
InuYasha flicked the lighter into life, taking a long drag and slowly releasing the smoke. He closed his eyes and leaned his head forward. The song from the bar still playing in his head.
He smiled sadly, and softly sang out the first lines. "Another lonely night, in another lonely town.."
Kagome rolled over to face the wall. She spent the rest of the night thinking about what she had just heard her companion say.
Kagome stopped eating and looked up at him. "Don't tell me.." InuYasha breathed. "I thought you had money.." "Fuck! Do I look like someone with money!?" "Well you're supposed to protect me! That means more than just keeping me alive!" "Well fuck! Aright.. I'll think of
