InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Somewhere in Her Memory ❯ Deal ( Chapter 4 )

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha…Extremely irritating to have to say that every time.

 

Note: I don't know what they eat for breakfast in Japan. Eggs and rice sound like a pretty weird combination though so I'm pretty sure that's not it. Oh well.

 

RECAP

“Kagome.” A voice whispered.

“Sota. Is that you?” She answered back.

“Kagome.” It whispered again.

She followed the voice downstairs. “Is that coming from outside?” She stepped outside and shivered in the cool night air.

“Kagome.”

“It sounds like it's coming from the tree.” She walked over to Goshinboku. “The tree is talking?” She touched the tree like she had done so many times before.

The whispering stopped and the wind picked up speed. She jumped back from the tree as the sky turned to daylight. “But it's the middle of the night.” She said a little weirded out. Turning back to the tree, she gasped as she saw a boy with silver hair sleeping on the tree? She then noticed that there was a large vine wrapped around his torso and an arrow protruding from his chest. Then she saw the dog ears. "Awww. Kawaii. I have to touch them." As she went to rub his ears she noticed something. “Inuyasha?” She saw it now. Without the dog ears and the and the weird clothes. “Eww. Mental Picture...Actually the mental picture isn't so bad.” She blushed. “Ick. This is Inuyasha-Cocky-Jerk-But-Still-So-Cute-Taisho we're talking about. That little arrogant bandana wearing prick. But still, he can't be comfortable.” She reached to grab the arrow...

----*S*I*H*M*----

 

Chapter 5: Deal?

 

"Hmm. Maybe I should just leave him there. It would serve him right. Oh well. I'm too nice for my own good." She reached to grab the arrow, but was awoken by a shrill noise.

 

`Wha?' She fumbled for the switch on her alarm clock and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. “That dream again…?” She dragged herself over to her closet and took out her school uniform. Looking at the clock, she decided against taking a shower and dressed quickly. She was about to go downstairs when she saw the necklace on her dresser. She put it around her neck and shrugged. “Who knows? Maybe it'll bring good luck. I guess I'll wear it today. I wanted show it to Sango anyway.”

 

Her mother had just finished cooking breakfast when she came downstairs. “Ohayo, Kagome. Did you sleep well?”

 

Kagome sat at the table. “Ohayo, okaasan. I slept fine. I had the dream again and I finally saw a face.”

 

Ms. Higurashi paled. “You did?” She handed Kagome a plate of eggs and rice. “Well are you going to tell me who it was?”

 

Kagome sighed and looked down at her plate. “Well I don't remember. I just know I saw a face, though. All I remember when I wake up is silver hair and red clothes.”

 

“Hm.” Her mother looked thoughtful for a bit then smiled. “Don't worry about it, Kagome. I'm sure that it's just a dream. It isn't anything to worry over.”

 

“I guess you're right.” Kagome finished eating. “So, Do you notice anything different about me?”

 

Kagome's mother stared blankly at her daughter. “Yes, Kagome. Your breasts do look a bit bigger. Are you wearing a new bra?”

 

“Yes, mama. That's it.” Kagome grumbled. “Well, I have to go to school now.” She kissed her mom on the cheek. “Bye.”

 

Kagome stepped out of the house, pouting. “She didn't even notice my necklace.” She trudged to school.

 

*S*I*H*M*

 

The minute Kagome stepped into school; she knew that something wasn't right. It was quieter than usual and she felt like she was getting many of stares. She spotted Sango in the hall and walked over to her. “Sango, do I have something on my face or my butt or something?”

 

“You mean that don't know yet?” Sango asked her.

 

“Don't know what?”

 

“Kikyo's going around saying you stole Inuyasha from her.” She whispered.

 

“She's WHAT!?” That got her some more stares.

 

“Hello whore.” One of Kikyo's “friends” called as she walked past Kagome.

 

The whole day went like that until 8th period, the last period of the day. Some people smiled at her. Some even congratulated her. Most ignored her, casting disgusted glances at her when they thought she wasn't looking. She knew who was on Kikyo's side because they either shoved her or called her names like bitch or slut.

 

“Excuse me, is there a Higurashi, Kagome here? Her mother is in the office. I was sent here to get her.” A short boy with orange hair pulled back into a ponytail asked.

 

The teacher looked skeptical. “What is your name young man?”

 

“My name is Kitsune, Shippo, sir.” He replied.

 

The teacher seemed to ponder this for a moment. “Very well, Mr. Kitsune. Ms. Higurashi, You may leave. Quickly now, don't keep your mother waiting. In my days we had to come exactly when our parents called us otherwise...”

 

Kagome was out the door before he could finish his sentence. “Thank goodness, I'm finally out of there. Hiramoto-sensei scares me.”

 

“Yup.” Shippo grinned. “He scared me too.” He stopped in front of a broom closet. “Nice seeing you, Kagome. Bye.”

 

“Wait. Where are you-” Before she could finish her sentence, she was pulled into the pitch-black closet. “What the hell!?”

 

“Shut up, wench or someone will hear you.” Her kidnapper said.

 

“My name's not wench! It's Kagome! KA-GO-. Wait a minute. Wench? Inuyasha!? Is that you?” She turned to wherever the voice was coming from. “Well what do you want? You already ruined my life enough. Geez. The least you could do is give me a break on the last day! But, no! Now half the school hates me.”

 

“Shh. Keep your voice down. I wanted to talk to you about Kikyo.”

 

“Why would I want to talk to you of all people about Kikyo of all people?” She sneered.

 

“Listen. Just hear me out. It's my fault that rumor got started. I sorta told Kikyo that I dumped her to go out with you.” He sounded nervous.

 

“You WHAT?” Inuyasha didn't have to turn on the light to know that her eyebrow was twitching.

 

`Kami, She's gonna kill me.'

 

Two Periods Ago

Inuyasha was waiting in a broom closet for the right moment in between the first year classes. He saw a flash of orange. `There.' He grabbed someone out of the crowd and pulled them into the closet. “Gotcha ya little runt!”

 

“Whaa?” There was a sniffing noise. “Inuyasha? What do you want?”

 

“Shut up I'm getting to it! Okay. Do you know what class Kagome's in?”

 

“Yeah. Science right?”

 

“Yeah. Well I want you to get her out of that class. Just say her mom is here or something.” As much as he hated to say it, Shippo was useful for something.

 

“You want me to what?”

 

“Just get here to walk to the closet then I'll grab her. I really need to talk to her. It's important. He let him think about it for a while. Four seconds had passed and he was getting impatient. “Shippo, if you don't do this for me don't forget, if you don't do this for me, the principle will find out your little secret Kitsune, Shippo, a freshman at Tokyo High. I'd just love to see you try to get them to let you into the building.”

 

That seemed to get him. “You owe me.”

 

`Yeah right.' “Okay fine just get her here okay?”

 

Two Periods Later

 

That was right after lunch. It was now 8th period and here he was sitting in a janitor's closet. His senses weren't helping. If he stayed in here much longer, he was going to get high or pass out. Then he smelled a scent that he recognized as Kagome's. He waited for the right time then grabbed her and pulled her into the closet.

 

“What the hell?!” She yelled.

 

“Shut up wench or someone will hear you.” `Not to mention destroy my ears.' He tried to calm her down. No such luck.

 

“My name's not wench! It's Kagome! KA-GO-. Wait a minute. Wench? Inuyasha!? Is that you?” He felt her turn towards him. “Well what do you want? You already ruined my life enough. Geez. The least you could do is give me a break on the last day! But, no! Now half the school hates me.”

 

`Now she's exaggerating.' “Shh. Keep your voice down. I wanted to talk to you about Kikyo.”

 

“Why would I want to talk to you of all people about Kikyo of all people?” She sneered.

 

`Well there's no doubt that she doesn't like Kikyo.' “Listen. Just hear me out. It's my fault that rumor got started. I sorta told Kikyo that I dumped her to go out with you.” He was actually scared. He'd seen Kagome angry before. And it was NOT pretty at all. She's probably angry right now. `No shit Sherlock.'

 

“You WHAT?” She asked in the tone that she recognized as the `sit' voice.

 

He cringed, waiting for the sit, but it never came. `No duh. No rosary.' Then he smelled salt water. `Baka, baka, baka. Now look what you did.' “K-Kagome, are you crying?” He hated to see her cry. Especially when he was the cause of it. He reached up to find the string for the light and pulled it. The lighting wasn't much better but at least he knew he wouldn't trip over anything now. “Oh come on Kagome. Don't cry.” He put his arm around her.

 

She jerked away. “Tell me Inuyasha. What am I supposed to do, huh? I've been getting pushed and shoved all day and it's all because of you! The one day that I think I'm gonna get a break, you turn around and do this!” She turned away from him. “Why? What do you want from me Inuyasha?!”

 

“I need you to...I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend.”

 

“What?” She shook her head “Why?”

 

“Just for today and two dates and then at my party. That's all.” He pleaded with her.

 

“What do I get out of this?” She questioned.

 

“I'll do whatever you want.”

 

“Anything?” She asked.

 

He didn't like the sound of that. “Yes?”

 

“Okay. I'll do it. But you have to keep your promise, or else.” She thought for a second and played around with the necklace. “And no more calling me wench, got it?”

 

“Feh. Whatever we- I mean Kagome.” His eyes widened as he saw it. “Where'd you get that?”

 

----*S*I*H*M----

 

Well…That was rather short. It was longer than the others, but it was still short…Oh well. Bye-bye
