InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Somewhere in Her Memory ❯ Strange Alarms and Spilled Ramen ( Chapter 6 )

This chapter should clear up some of the questions…And maybe it'll form new ones, who knows? Enjoy!

 

RECAP

Inuyasha decided to drop Miroku and Sango off first, promising to pick Sango up in the morning so she could get her car from Kagome's house.

 

There was an awkward silence for most of the way and Kagome fell asleep by the time he got to her house. Inuyasha didn't want to wake her up so he carefully lifted her up and brought her inside. The lights were off so he just brought her up to her room and set her on her bed. He heard a crinkle but ignored it. When he tried to leave, she started whimpering like she had lost a favorite toy. He picked her up again and a piece of paper was stuck to her back, so he peeled it off. It was addressed to him.

 

Dear Inuyasha,

 

Since you're in here right now, I'm guessing Kagome must have fallen asleep. I don't want you to drive so late at night so I put an extra set of clothes on the dresser for you and a few extra blankets in case you get cold. Kagome's grandfather and I have gone to spend the night at a relative's house and I dropped Souta off at Kohaku's a while ago. Don't stay up too late.

 

~Mom

 

`Okay then.' Inuyasha somehow managed put Kagome back onto her bed without waking her. `She was always a heavy sleeper.' Looking at the pile of clothes, he realized that Kagome's mother had only left him a pair of pajama pants. `Don't stay up too late, my ass.' He changed into the than pulled off his shirt and slid in next to Kagome. She grabbed a hold of his arm, causing him to blush. After a while he decided to ignore it and gave in to the luxury of living in a practically danger free world. He fell asleep.

Chapter 6: Strange Alarms and Spilled Ramen

“Kagome.” A voice whispered.

“Souta?” She answered back.

“Kagome.” It whispered again.

She followed the voice downstairs. “Oh, not this again.” She groaned, stepping outside and again shivered because of the cool air.

“Kagome.”

“Will you shut up already? I already know what to do.” She walked over to Goshinboku and 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. “Blah blah blah. It's the middle of the night. Why's the sun out?” She said, trying not to roll her eyes. Turning back to the tree, she saw him again, the boy with silver hair, sleeping on the tree. The large vine was again wrapped around his torso and an arrow was protruding from his chest. Looking up, she saw the dog ears. "Yay, time to rub his ears, again.” As she went to rub his ears she noticed something. “Ah, there he is. My Inuyasha.” Without the dog ears and the weird clothes. She nodded.

“You look better like this. I hate that stupid bandana you wear, the hat too. It covers your cute ears. I like you better when you're sleeping, also. You never say anything mean to ruin the mood. But, there are times when I do miss your voice.” She sighed and sat against the tree for a while, looking up at him. “I wish that I could dream forever, Inuyasha. In my dreams, it all comes back to me, but when I'm awake...I forget about you, about my love... She snorted. “Great reward, Midoriko. You bring all my friends back, but I don't remember the real way I met them, our adventure, the real reason why we're so close to each other. I don't remember any if it! Every time…it just vanishes like…like it's some damn dream!” Her voice started to break.” Is this a reward, or a punishment? If this is how it's going to be forever, I don't want to dream anymore!” She suddenly jumped up and grabbed hold of the arrow. Because of her haste, she accidentally pulled it out. “No, I didn't mean it.” She screamed and grabbed hold of something as the entire scene began to collapse leaving only darkness. “No! I didn't mean it!”

 

Kagome awoke, yet again forgetting all about her dream and heard a groaning noise coming from underneath her. `Souta? Did he have a bad dream or something?' A pair of arms protectively wrapped around her, nearly crushing her into what she noticed as a clearly defined chest. `Okay, this isn't Souta. What the heck?' She managed to relinquish the hold on her and was now straddling his waist, without looking to see who the owner of said waist was; she began tracing the lines of his abdominal muscles. Her finger froze as she heard a groan, indicating the person was waking up. `Wait a minute. He's waking up. I'm straddling him. I have no idea who he is. I'm touching him.'

 

“Enjoying yourself, Kagome?”

 

Her eyes snapped up to see two amber orbs staring down at her. Well, technically it was up since she was straddling him. “Oh my God. I'm straddling Inuyasha!” Naturally, she did the only thing that came to her at the moment. She panicked.

 

“Oh Kami! Please no. Please tell me we didn't-” She waved her arms implying what she meant.

 

“Kagome, we're still wearing clothes.” Inuyasha pointed out calmly to her. `I knew I should have at least changed into those pants.'

 

“No, I'm still wearing clothes!” Kagome said motioning the outfit she had been wearing from yesterday's night. “You're-” She pulled the covers off of both of them. “You're only wearing boxers!” Then she pointed to his head. “And that stupid hat! Why is there always something on your stupid head!? It's not like you have bad hair days considering your hair always looks better than mine.” She stopped, realizing that she said more than needed, not to mention that he was still in her bed.
Get out of my bed!” She said trying to cover up what she just admitted.

 

He crossed his arms over his chest. “I would, if you weren't still on me.”

 

She blushed and quickly scrambled off of the bed. “What are you doing in my bed in the first place? What are you still doing in my house!?” Her embarrassment being replaced by anger, she began throwing anything she could find at him.

 

Inuyasha tried to explain while dodging throw pillows, stuffed animals or anything Kagome managed to find to throw at him. “Well-” Dodge right. “You fell asleep-” Dodge left. “So I brought you up-” Dodge right. “Upstairs to your room.” Dodge left. “Just let me explain!”

 

Kagome stopped pelting him with various room items, chest heaving. “You have thirty seconds.”

 

Inuyasha relaxed. “Well, you were sleeping so I brought upstairs cause I didn't want to wake you. And I went to put to on the bed you wouldn't let go. So I had to pry you off of me.” `Which is not entirely untrue.' He grinned like a devil when she blushed. “Then I found a note from your mom saying that she didn't want me to drive home late and I should just sleep over. So I just lay beside you, very un-Miroku like, but I guess I fell asleep, and this bed is so small, then I woke up to you trying to molest me…” At this point he stared directly into Kagome's eyes. This caused her to look down and blush furiously. He smirked at how easily he could get her embarrassed.

 

Kagome's head snapped back up. “That still doesn't explain why you are in your boxers.” She said, motioning to the change of clothes on the dresser

 

He shrugged. “I was gonna change, but do you notice how hot it is in here? Besides, I usually don't sleep with clothes on and it would be very uncomfortable for me. But, then I realized that you probably couldn't handle waking up to such manliness, but seeing you this morning, well...”

 

He stopped when he saw a vein start throbbing in her forehead. `Now when did that get there?'

 

Kagome took a deep breath and exhale through her nose. “Fine.” She said, now calm. “Just hurry up and change, before my mom comes in and sees you.”

 

He grabbed the clothes off of her dresser. The outfit consisted of baggy, black jeans and a long red tee, along with a black belt to hold the jeans up. And to top it all off, a black bandana. “Turn around.” He told her.

 

“Why?” She asked. “It's not like you're gonna take off your boxers or anything, or do you usually not wear those when you're awake either?” She asked, turning his joke against him.

 

“Feh, I'm shy.” He lied. `I can't have her seeing my ears, now can I?'

 

Kagome rolled her eyes. “Whatever.” She turned around. “Are you done yet?” She asked when she heard him grab his belt.

 

“Yeah.”

 

She turned around, resisting the urge to drool at the way his jeans fit. “Fine, I'm going to go take a shower. You wait in here and don't you dare go through my stuff.” She said and walked out of the room.

 

*S*I*H*M*

 

“Feh.” He said about five minutes later while sitting on her bed with his arms crossed. “Don't you dare go through my stuff.” He mocked her. Smelling something cooking, he smiled. `Ramen.' In one second he was in the kitchen, bowl in hand.

 

Ms. Higurashi smiled at him. “Oh, Inuyasha. Did you sleep well?”

 

“I slept fine. Where's the old man?” He asked looking around.

 

“He's still with the relatives. It turns out that he made a new friend.”

 

He feh'd and sat down with his bowl of ramen. He decided to leave out the part about his “alarm clock” though.

 

She turned around. “Oh yeah, and Inuyasha, it might be a little-”

 

“GAH!” Inuyasha yelled and started fanning his tongue.

 

She finished, sweat dropping. “Hot.”

 

Kagome chose that moment to run down the stairs only to come face to face with a flushed Inuyasha, who was still fanning his tongue. She looked at the table and saw ramen spilled all over it. “Mama, why are we having ramen for breakfast?” She asked her.

 

“Because, it's Inuyasha's favorite food and he is our special guest.” Ms. Higurashi said and handed her a bowl of ramen.

 

“Ramen is not for breakfast.” She grumbled, sitting down.

*S*I*H*M*

 

“Where's Souta?” Kagome asked after Inuyasha cleaned up his mess and started eating, and of course after Kagome put and ice cube in his new bowl.

 

“I took him over to Kohaku's a little while after you left.” Ms. Higurashi said, hoping that she wouldn't ask why.

 

“Oh.” Kagome her bowl over to Inuyasha, who was pouting because he had finished his ramen, and also all the ramen that was in the pot. “Do you want to kill the rest of this for me?”

 

He looked at her, puzzled. “Kill?”

 

“Do you want to finish my ramen?”

 

He gladly accepted and was finished in less than ten seconds.

 

“Well, I'm going to go now. I have so much to do today.”

 

“Okay Goodbye, mama.” They said at the same time.

 

“Have a nice day, you two.” She said walking out of the kitchen.

 

“Mama?” Kagome asked him.

 

“Yeah. Your mom asked me to call her that.” He said blushing. `Why am I blushing? Baka. Now she's gonna think you're suggesting something.' “Ready to go?” He asked her.

 

“Wah?” She asked, confused. “Go where?”

 

“Oh. I forgot to tell you. My brother is having a photo shoot today and there's an after party so I'm stuck babysitting his kid. Miroku decided to help out, but he's not exactly reliable so I invited Sango, but Sango will probably be busy with Miroku I don't know much about kids, so I was wondering...if you could...”

 

Kagome shook her head. “Your brother has a kid?”

 

He tried to explain. “Well sort of. He kind of like adopted her.”

 

“Aw, Kawaii! Adopting a little girl, just like that. He's so kind and caring.” She said with stars in her eyes.

 

`You have got to be kidding me.' He thought in disbelief. “Will you help me or not?”

 

She pondered this for a while. “Do I get to meet your brother?” She asked hopefully.

 

“Why would you was to meet him anyway?” He asked her.

 

She blushed. “Oh no reason.” She said a little too quickly.

 

“Feh, whatever. Yeah, he'll be home late though. You'd have to stay over if you actually want to see him. I'm not sure if he'd actually talk to you, though.”

 

“Now what is that supposed to mean?” She asked.

 

`There goes that vein again. “Well, he's not exactly social. Or friendly.”

 

She frowned. “Oh, well. I'll help you baby sit, but only if Sango comes, but I'm not sure if my mom will let me sleep over. And you have to introduce me to Sesshomaru.”

 

“I already asked her. She's fine with it.”

 

`Oh well. At least I'll get to see Sesshomaru. I can't pass that up.' “Okay I'll do it.” She agreed.

 

`Why don't I like where this is going?'
