Chapter Four

Because I Got High.

 

 

That was when Kagome had finally decided.

 

“Fuck..” she mumbled, looking down. Her hands were shaking. Sango and Inuyasha glanced at each other.

 

“I'll do it.”

 

Inuyasha smiled this innocent little smile that made Kagome melt. Her heartbeat quickened.

 

“You're gonna do it?” he asked quietly. She nodded.

 

Inuyasha pulled into a little parking lot by a stairway that led to the very to of the steep hill.

 

As she was getting out, Sango accidentally dropped her phone on the concrete, causing the battery attached to the back to snap off. “Shit…” she mumbled, reaching down to collect the pieces. Kagome watched her, legs dangling out the door, sitting on the edge of her seat. “Did you just break your phone?”

 

Sango huffed, and, after letting out a sound that was somewhere along the lines of a “GRRR!!!”, snapped upright and… MOONED Kagome.

 

…She mooned Kagome.

 

“Kiss my black ass, Kagome.” She stated harshly. Kagome actually thought for a minute that Sango was genuinely pissed at her (the mooning was slightly unorthodox, but that's beside the point, Sango's just weird like that). It was when she flashed Kagome a shit-eating grin when she knew she was just fucking around.

 

“Hey Sangs,” Inuyasha signaled for her. He was sitting in the driver's seat with his upper body twisted towards the right passenger seat, meddling with a big ball of weed (Kagome later learned that the politically correct term is “Nug”) on the open glove compartment door. “Come help me with this.”

 

Sango stuffed her fat grey cell phone into her jeans pocket and joined him in the car. Kagome laid across the back seat for a few minutes inhaling the scent of weed and eavesdropping on their conversation.

 

“Did you catch that fucked up shit on Maury last night?” Sango peeled open her Zip-Lock baggie and added her weed to his. She then retrieved a silver device out of her pocket that was in the smaller, fatter shape of a hockey puck and handed it to Inuyasha.

 

“Oh my Christ, I couldn't believe that crap. How the fuck do you go thirty years without a dad, then find some creeper on Myspace that has your last name and expect it to be your dad?” he opened the silver device and placed a couple of the “weed balls” on top of these little spikes, replacing the lid afterwards and twisting it back and forth. “I can't believe she was hugging him and kissing his cheek like she was 100% sure it was him. I can't imagine how she felt when they told her the DNA test was negative.”

 

“She got all of her hopes up. Did you see that scary old man? Sitting there like, “You look so much like your mother, sweetie!” Fucking nasty old creeper.” She opened the baggy once again. “Do you have that pot grinded up for me? Because I'd like to have the bowl packed tonight, you know.”

 

“Oh, so-rry, Ms. Impatient.” He twisted the device back and forth a few more times then opened it and dumped the grinded weed into the bag. “Your Highness. Get it? Your…HIGH-ness? Bahahaha!”

 

Sango shook her head, neatly preparing a joint on her lap.

 

“Aw, for a second I thought I was pretty damn funny.”

 

Kagome sat up in the back seat as a gust of chilly wind hit her. It was a beautiful day, and fairly warm for a Monday in November. “Hey, guys,” she stood up and out of the car, stretching her long, silky-smooth arms, reaching up for the sky above her and clenching her fists. “Let's get this show on the road, huh?”

 

Inuyasha then emerged from the car full of illegals and made a mad dash for Kagome's legs. She screamed when he grabbed her by the calves, picked her up over his head and began to spin her around. “AHH! Oh my god!!” she cried, half-excited, half-scared-for-her-life. Inuyasha set her down and smirked. “Excited, Ka-go-me?” his look turned into a dark gaze…almost sinister. And it made Kagome's little virgin legs buckle.

 

“Y-Yeah.” She returned with a hint of anonymity in her tone. Inuyasha bit his lip, feeling far more turned on then he'd have liked to, due to the fact that he was watching this beautiful masterpiece of innocence unfold before his very eyes. His body wanted little more then to bask in the light of her sheer amazingness, standing there in her copped-out, extremely short, pleated black skirt with lace and her favorite black “Dead Kennedys” top. She wore a black hoodie over her shirt, zipped down midway to show off the shirt logo. She looked adorable.

 

“Hey Yash, this shit is ready. Let's head up.” Sango emerged from the car holding a purse that Kagome just knew was full of paraphernalia and weed. Her heart couldn't stop pounding against her ribcage. Was she really about to smoke weed? She'd been around it so much since she'd moved to Kindlewood, so why was she so nervous now? Only time could tell whether she was ready or not. Too bad she didn't have much of that on her hands, because her two best friends were now heading in the direction of the steep hill's stairway.

 

“Hey Kags, you coming? Or do ya need us to give you a ride?” Inuyasha wisecracked from afar. Sango burst out laughing, balancing a trio of water bottles in one hand and a black purse in the other as she made her way up the stairs. Kagome went red and looked down, slowly placing one foot in front of the other. She was so nervous. Step by step, she walked in the same direction across the parking lines towards the stairs. She looked up when she heard somebody coming towards her. It was Inuyasha.

 

“Hey,” he panted, slowing in front of her, “You look pretty upset… hey, are you doing alright? Because if you don't wanna smoke, that's fine. We aren't trying to pressure you, Kagome.” He gave her a warm smile and placed his hand at the small of her back, a gesture that caused her to feel all warm and fuzzy inside and smile. “I'm okay, Inuyasha. I'm gonna do it, I'm just a little freaked. I mean, I've never done drugs before. My body's never felt anything but the default stuff.”

 

Inuyasha tilted his head back and laughed. “Aw, Kags. We aren't making you do drugs…We're getting you high.” For a second they made eye contact, and he saw her blush when he raised his eyebrows.

 

“You losers need to start hauling ass or I'm gonna smoke this shit alone!” Sango called from the top of the hill. Inuyasha put his hand to his mouth and called, “Just a minute, we're talking!” then returned to courting Kagome. Well, not courting. Vocal foreplay, if you will. Okay, not that, either.

 

Whether or not it was vocal foreplay, Kagome was still enjoying every second of his calloused hand on her back. No guy had ever paid any attention to her physically, and she'd really grown a liking to him… Here was this beautiful, built (but not in a gross way!), sweet stoner with a huge heart and the kindest eyes, and he actually, for a split second, seemed to be interested, too.

 

So what if Kagome had never really had a boyfriend? All that mattered was the fact that she'd enjoyed every second she'd spent with Inuyasha. She'd tense at the sight of his smile. Blushed when he'd accidentally brushed his arm against hers. Imagined him holding her all of those times she'd been in his bed. She wanted so much more with him… It was almost like she was readying her heart to fall in love for the first time. Yet, she wasn't, due to fear. Fear of rejection…

 

It was when she felt him slide his hand to her right hip and pull her close to him that she felt an amazing boost of confidence. There's a difference between a guy that wants to be your friend and a guy that wants to be more then friends. The guy that wants to be friends puts his arm around your shoulders. Not your waist…

 

As they walked up the steps towards the top of the hill, Inuyasha leaned down and whispered into her ear, “I wanna talk to you, alone.” Then released her hip and ran up the last few steps. Sango greeted him with a pat on the back. “Hey, guys.” She flashed Kagome a smile. She smiled back, shyly. All of her worries had vanished, if only for a moment, on her trip to the top of the hill. It was all thanks to Inuyasha's words.

 

What did he mean, he wanted to talk to her alone? But why? So many different emotions ran through her head. When she sat down on the padded grass across from her two friends, she wasn't even focusing on weed- the only thing she could think about was Inuyasha. Her fingers threaded together and unthreaded and threaded back together in worry. All kinds of stress was building up in her system. Stress of knowing that her mother had no idea where she was. Stress regarding weed. Stress over her little brother. Stress over the fact that this amazingly beautiful boy was definitely staring right at her.

 

Wait…Why was he staring?!

 

Kagome glanced up to see that Inuyasha was sitting Indian-style with his head propped up on his wrist, his cerulean eyes glowing in a tender gaze aimed straight at her own beautiful eyes.

 

“So, Kagome,” Sango held a brown cigar-looking thing (Kagome later learns that this is called a “blunt”) between her thumb and forefinger before her. “This is called a blunt, and here are the street smarts, girlie. Blunts are not for first timers.”

 

She sees Inuyasha's nod of agreement in the corner of her eye.

 

“Why not? What's so bad about them?” Kagome wasn't making eye contact, she was staring down the unusual blunt in her hand and wondering of its mysterious consequences. Sango and Inuyasha exchanged glances, then both looked right back at her. “Because, you see, Kagome…” her tone was no less than that of an educated wiseman, “A blunt is extremely powerful on your lungs. One hit is equivalent to about three or four hits of a joint. I'm not too sure how that works, but god works in mysterious ways.” She lit one end of the blunt and held it out for Kagome to observe, but not accept. It was a bit of a tease.

 

“Hey, Sangs, we don't really have all day to just sit here and study weed. I've taught Kags a lot of shit.” Inuyasha commented. Sango huffed. He continued, “Plus, we've already got all the shit together. All she needs to learn is how to smoke it.” He looked at Kagome and smiled. “Don't you?”

 

She blinked and shrugged. “I've seen you do it. Can I wing it and see if I do it right?” her confidence was spiked up so high. Inuyasha scooted closer to her and handed her a joint. Sango watched in amusement while pulling a water bottle from her purse. She opened it and balanced it on her lap. Kagome blushed and took the joint, just staring at it like she was watching a cloud cook or something bizarre. Inuyasha smirked. “You okay? We don't have to do this.” She nodded. He smiled. “Just hold it to your lips. Don't try to pucker them, because you'll get the paper wet. You need to just tighten your lips and press them at the very tip.”

 

She proceeded to follow his instruction, still pinching the joint with her thumb and forefinger. Her heartbeat sped up as he held up the lighter, his eyes never leaving hers. “Listen to me. Don't go too hard. You have virgin lungs, and it's going to be a pain in the ass if you're high with a burning throat. Trust me.” He waited for her nod and flicked the lighter. “Take a slow first hit and keep inhaling until it kind of burns. Then, while the smoke's still in there, be sure to take a quick breath of air and hold the smoke as long as you can. Remember what I told you about THC? You have to let it set. And if you have to cough, by all means, cough! It makes all of that THC go to your brain quicker.”

 

Kagome nodded again.

 

“Ready?”

 

Again.

 

Inuyasha held the lighter to the opposite end and lit it. Kagome closed her eyes and began to inhale slowly. She could feel the smoke filling her tiny lungs. At the last second, she remembered to take a breath of air, which she did with grace- and held it in. Sango and Inuyasha's jaws dropped, and they looked at each other in amazement, smiling and squealing in excitement.

 

It was that terrible oncoming feeling of panic- that horrid feeling of dread that you feel after you dive all the way to the bottom of the deep end, then swim for your life to the surface to breath, and collide with the bottom of some kid's raft that you can never seem to get out from under. But you always find a way out before you bite the dust. Kagome's way out was the longest exhalation of her life, followed by the single gulp of cold water that emptied an entire bottle. Inuyasha and Sango slapped high fives.

 

“How was it? You okay?” Sango offered her another bottle. She denied it. “How long does it take?” she asked. Sango laughed. “Well, it's going to take a few more hits before your body can react. Or who knows,” she grinned, “maybe you could be a lightweight like me.” She flicked the lighter and inhaled her blunt slowly. Inuyasha reached for it once she'd finished.

 

“Hey, what am I supposed to do with this?” Kagome looked down at the joint. Inuyasha paused mid-light. “That's for you. Enjoy.” Then proceeded to smoke his blunt. Kagome tensed and stared at it. Sango handed her a cheap Bic lighter. “Here ya are, Kagome!” she chimed.

 

Within ten minutes, Kagome had finished the joint and was now downing a bottle of cheap Purelife water. Inuyasha and Sango were finished with their blunt, so they decided to help each other up and hug, laughing about some inside joke they'd exchanged.

 

“Are you guys high yet?” Kagome helped herself up, not feeling any different. And frankly, it was pissing her off. Her throat was in a state of discomfort and her mouth would get dry if she didn't drink some water quick enough.

 

“It always takes Yash and I a couple minutes for it to hit us. Why, are you?” Sango walked over and wrapped her arms around her. Kagome shook her head. “No, I feel the same.” She stated disapprovingly. Inuyasha laughed. “Oh, don't be ridiculous, Kags. It's going to take anywhere between ten and twenty minutes for you. Its your first high. But trust me,” he approached her and wrapped his arm around her side again. Goosebumps. Heart thudding. Bump. Bump. Bump. “You're gonna love every second of it.”

 

They began the five-minute journey to the car, stumbling around a bit. Of course, Sango played her little game where she left the two alone to converse and bond. And they did.

 

As the two made their way downhill, Kagome felt herself slowly growing affectionate towards Inuyasha. Instead of just sitting there and letting him pet her lower back, she leaned into him and nuzzled his shoulder. Was this being high? Having the ability to succumb to your temptations? Well, if it was, then that sure is a shitty drug for her to do. With each step they took, she slowly felt herself growing more and more sensitive. Her foot would graze her ankle every other step, and she couldn't help but focus on every touch- every minor sensation caught her interest.

 

But why? Why was everything so fascinating? Better yet, why is it that everything was starting to spin?...

 

And then, at the base of the hill… she fell.

 

It wasn't just any fall, either. Its not like she tripped over a rock or some leaves, and it isn't like she was unconscious. It was much, much different… like everything in her body had vanished, and if you cut her skin, only air would come out. As she lay there on the cold concrete of the parking lot, she wasn't aware of any thought. Just feeling. Her eyes remained closed and her body remained weightless, as if she were suspended in a dream. Was this a dream? She didn't know for sure…but if it was, then how in the hell did she synch her dream into reality?

 

“Kagome, oh my god! Just like my first high!” she heard Sango laughing in joy. That's when she decided to open her eyes.

 

…Oh sweet Jesus, was this a dream?

 

She could see Inuyasha and Sango standing before her, smiling huge. But it just wasn't normal. It was like everything was jutting out in 3-D, in pure, vibrant color. Everything was perfect. She was aware of every sight, scent and sound, something else that she just didn't find normal. Everything that she heard resounded in her ears in high and low volumes. Everything she touched seemed to feel amazing. Her body felt as if it were in a strung-out vibration. It. Was. Awesome.

 

This was being high.

 

“Is…this… real?” Kagome stood up, and, amazed with herself for no reason, gasped. The sound of her gasp, resounding high and low through her head, made her gasp again! Then, in a fit of laughter, she collapsed. Inuyasha and Sango grinned open-mouthed at each other and began to laugh with her.

 

“Oh my god, she's fucking blitzed!” Sango ran to her and knelt down. “Kagome! WAHH!” she exclaimed. Kagome's face distorted in horror, then elapsed into pure joy. For whatever reason, she burst into laughter again. “Oh my god, this is not real! Is it?!” she cried, standing up and collapsing again. Inuyasha ran to her and swept her off her feet like earlier. The feeling of coming into contact with another person and being swept into the air made her feel like she was flying. Not metaphorically. She literally closed her eyes and felt herself in the clouds.

 

When she was finally set down, the first thing she saw was Sango rolling around in a vast pile of leaves, cracking herself up. “I… wanna go do that!” Kagome took off towards her, but Inuyasha grabbed her swinging wrist and sent her to a halt. “AHH!” she screamed. Inuyasha pulled her over towards the car and pressed her against it, smiling a dark, sensuous smile that, even though she was high, was making her a little nervous. “Yash, I'm so high…” she stuttered in a tone that was about fifty times too sexy when she really didn't even intend for it to sound that way. And hold up, why was she admitting it, like some drug addict? “I probably sound like a loser…” she thought out loud.

 

Inuyasha smirked. She blushed. “I-I didn't mean to say…whoa…hey…” spacing out. “…What were we…talking…” spacing out again. Inuyasha just watched her, finding it extremely amusing. He put up a hand in front of her face in a way of saying “stop”, yet she flinched and yelped at the sudden sight of a hand in her face. “That wasn't nice.” She murmured. Inuyasha placed his hand on the side of her face and smiled. “Kagome, I was thinking you and I could, well…” he glanced down, feeling a little shy, himself. Then he remembered that he was high, thus allowing him the confidence to accomplish anything. “I was thinking, maybe… if you wanted to… you could go out with me?”

 

Kagome's heart beat abnormally fast, thudding at her ribs with unbelievable speed. Had the most gorgeous guy on earth just become her boyfriend…? No, no! Because she hadn't accepted his proposal yet! She looked down in sadness, almost immediately realizing that the only reason she didn't have a boyfriend was because she still hadn't answered the poor guy, who, at this point, doubted she wanted anything to do with him.

 

“YES!” she exclaimed loudly, frightening herself. She gasped and jumped as the YES echoed in her head.

 

Inuyasha's face lit up with the most adorable, gentle smile, and he took her in his arms and spun her around. “I'm so glad,” he purred into her ear, sending shivers down her spine.

 

“Hey guys, come play!” Sango cried from the pile of leaves yonder. The new couple took one another's hands and ran to see her.

 

 

--

 

`I can't believe she's mine', Inuyasha thought, sitting on a decomposing log and watching his beautiful new girlfriend with pure amazement. He'd never realized just how beautiful she was until he was allowed to think of her in such a way.

 

Inuyasha had purposely taken half-assed hits of the blunt just so that his high would wear off quickly… He'd looked forward to watching Kagome enjoy her first high. At that moment, she and Sango were chasing each other around a clearing in the woods, eventually tripping on each other and howling with laughter.

 

“TAKE, TAKE, TAKE, TAKE, TAKE, TAKE IT AWAY!” his `The Used' ring tone blared through his pants. When he retrieved his phone and checked the caller window, he couldn't help but grin.

 

“Hey man, what's up?” he answered, quite stoner-like.

 

“Dude. What the fuck is up with you? I haven't seen you in hellas, bro.” Miroku.

 

“Fucking right, man. I miss you. How's ching-chong land, buddy?” he cracked himself up.

 

“Very funny. Anyway, so I'm sitting in my room, drinking some sparkling water, my buddy Chad's over there practicing some Tai Chi shit,”

 

“Word,” Inuyasha pushed him on.

 

“And I'm sitting there thinking, man. It's two in the afternoon, I've already finished my work here, so I'm gonna catch the next flight out of here and come see my buddies back at home.”

 

Inuyasha did a little victory dance, catching the girls' attention. He stopped and gave them an “It's okay” wave. He ignored Sango when she asked, “Who's that?” and continued the conversation.

 

“Dude, you're fucking home? Bullshit! Where the fuck are you, man?” he stood up and made his way to the clearing.

 

-

 

Kagome smiled contently at Sango. “Wanna know something amazing?” she mumbled, lack of sobriety causing her voice to sound all sexy again. Sango smiled. “What?”

 

“Inuyasha asked me out…and I said yes.”

 

Sango pounced on her, intending it to come across as a hug. Her screams of pure joy were so immense that, due to recent reports, could be heard in downtown Berlin.

 

“NO FUCKING WAY NO FUCKING WAY NO FUCKING WAY!”

 

“Way!”

 

“AHHHHHHHH!”

 

“I know!”

 

The twosome hugged and laughed and cried like this was the best thing that'd ever happened to either of them.

 

That was when Inuyasha emerged from his decomposing tree with a thousand-dollar grin on his face. “Miroku's home!” he exclaimed. Kagome glanced at Sango, vivid memories of the Miroku tales playing back in her head. Sango was sighing. “Great. Whoot. Can we eat now?”

 

 

 

Kagome had never known hunger like this. The second she got in that car, her stomach demanded the most bizarre meals- anything to satisfy her undying craving for food. Yes, she was still high, and she was still all fucked up in the head, but now that she was in a less fascinating environment, all she wanted was to wolf down anything she could get her little hands on.

 

And they ate.

 

And they ate some more.

 

They devoured every single thing they'd purchased or packed at home until they were all little more then heaving mass sprawled around the inside of a Dodge Neon.

 

“Time to head back home…” Sango sat up in the driver's seat, sticking her keys in the ignition. Inuyasha sat up, as well, pushing his door open and joining Kagome in the back seat. “Hey there, Ka-go-me.” He smiled. She smiled back, still buzzed off her weed. He held up a `1 sec' sign with his finger and stepped outside, popping the trunk and retrieving two large blankets. Kagome gasped when she saw them. “You've had blankets this whole time!” she exclaimed disapprovingly. Inuyasha laughed and apologized, crawling back in beside her and kicking off his shoes on the floor.

 

“Hit it, Sangs. I'm ready to see Miroku!...You are still going to smoke with us, right?” he leaned into the space between the two front seats and grinned. She sighed, turning the steering wheel and pulling out of the parking lot. “I guess so, Yash… Well, maybe.” She hit the radio button. Static. Hit the seek button. Static. She gave up. “I mean, I'd rather spend the rest of my high school career without stupid heartbreaks, but whatever.” She mumbled. “Oh, and congrats! Kagome told me about you two. That is the cutest thing.”

 

Inuyasha reached into his pocket, pulled out a pre-packed pipe and handed it to Kagome. “It's all good, Sangs. Thanks.” He flashed her a grin in the mirror. She smiled.

 

Kagome took the pipe and lit it with a lighter that was on the seat, inhaling deeply. She was sure to look nonchalant and relaxed, smoking with her head back and her eyes closed, resting her pipe-holding hand on her lap for a few seconds before exhaling thick smoke into the car. She could tell that it had worked, too, because in the corner of her pretend-closed eye, Inuyasha was staring at her. He then took it from her and did almost an exact mock of her notions, looking all chilled out and relaxed before exhaling. They passed it back and forth a couple more times before it ran out, then they both just laid back and enjoyed their next wave of high.

 

“Kagome likes getting stoned, huh?” Sango commented cutely from the driver's seat. Kagome just laughed and laughed… meaning “yes”.

 

Somewhere along the long road lining the river, Kagome ended up in a risqué position with her head nuzzled into Inuyasha's shoulder and her right leg dangled over his left thigh. He kept moving his hand slowly up and down her inner thigh, teasingly, inching further and further in. Why she was allowing him to do so, no one knows. Weed has that effect… makes good girls crave bad. And makes bad girls crave worse.

 

The feeling of Inuyasha's hand deathly close to Kagome's feminine territory was very daring for a first date, but the weed was telling her mind to just fucking let him do whatever it was that he was trying to do. She glanced at him as they were crossing the bridge back to Missouri, only to be met with the most heart-stopping smile she'd ever seen, and her first kiss right after…

 

Inuyasha's lips were tender and soft… delicate and gentle against her own. Whilst he moved his mouth in a gentle rub against hers, she felt all kinds of electricity raging through her inexperienced loins, and felt the need to stop him before he went head-on to a real kiss. At the same time, she wanted to remain suspended in this incredible moment. Her first kiss. With this amazing guy she'd only known for a short while. And what an amazing while it was.

 

“Hey, we've got a half hour until we get home. Hold off on that shit, I'm not playing third wheel today.”

 

Kagome was sad to break the kiss, but she understood the concept of being the third wheel. So the two separated, and Inuyasha just stared into her eyes, reaching for her hand and entwining his fingers with hers. She was surprised to see that his cheeks were red from blushing, too. Who'd have imagined Inuyasha as being shy? She thought it was sweet.

 

“Was that your first?” he whispered softly. She nodded, feeling kind of like an idiot. He only smiled and said, “That means a lot to me.” Then placed his focus back on the road. Kagome's heart was pounding wildly with emotions. `Oh my god, he just kissed me! Oh my god!' She was so happy. For once in her life, everything seemed to be going just fine. There was only one problem. Lust. She knew that lust plays a huge role in being a teenager, but she'd never expected it to come to her, especially not her first day with her first boyfriend. Sheesh. What was she coming to? Whatever it was…it didn't scare her.

 

-

 

“Bye, guys!” Kagome waved cheerfully at Inuyasha and Sango, and they drove off, leaving her alone in her front yard. After a few more blissful seconds basking in the glow of her grown-up accomplishments, she turned around and marched back towards her house with great pride and integrity.

…Until she got inside.

 

“Kagome Higurashi? I'm Officer Randall. Kindlewood police.”
