InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Starry Night ❯ Reactions and Understandings ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: I own nothing. I'm typing this in the microwave box I live in.

So all I have is this box. No Inu Yasha.

~The next day~

She sat and stared. Had she not blinked Inu Yasha would have thought she was dead. He didn't know how she could stand the potent fumes coming from the paint. He would have passed out long ago had it not been for the protective mask.

~Last night~

"Move already!" Inu Yasha yelled for about the tenth time since she took her place before the mural. He had tried everything, even his hanyou strength couldn't budge her. "Have you gained a hundred pounds since you arrived here, wench!"

He awaited some sort of reaction from her with a slight sense of dread. Last time he had insulted a woman's weight he had ended up unconscious in the ICU for a week.

Her body tensed then relaxed as she continued her observation of the painting in front of her. Finally, giving up he left her to her study of the mural.

~end flashback~

"I didn't want to do this," he looked at her with a quirky expression, "but you left me no choice."

She turned her head just in time to see a white blur tackle her to the ground and tickle her senseless. "What is your name, girl?" He asked her giving her a moment to breath before starting his antics again.

"I'll tell you this much it's not girl or wench or any of the other vile names I've heard you call me under your breath," Inu Yasha sat dumbfounded that he had actually gotten her to speak. And did he hear incorrectly or did she just say she could hear him under his breath.

"Well what is it then, wench?" He put emphasis on that word to get some more responses out of her.

She looked bluntly at him for a moment before turning her back to him to look at the painting again.

"Kagome." And she continued ignoring him.

`Kagome, hn. I like that name.' Satisfied at the response he stood and exited the room.

~Later that Night~

A deafening smack was heard outside of Inu Yasha's door before it swung open to reveal a tall man with a small dragon tail tied at the nape of his neck and brown eyes with a rather distinct hand shaped print across his face and a very peeved looking woman with a loose hanging pony tail and copper eyes.

"Miroku when will ever learn that women don't like stupid perverted monks." Inu Yasha said as he allowed them inside.

"I was merely complimenting Sango's stunning body with a show of my affections by- who's that?" He abruptly lost his train of thought when he peered into the den to see a young woman sitting in front of a wall. "Inu Yasha you dog you." He said with a wink before he lost consciousness courtesy of Sango.

Sango turned her head to take in the girls for the first time. Immediately she noticed her smudged and torn clothing and gasped "Inu Yasha, you didn't!" she hastily whispered through clenched teeth with a look of disgusted disbelief.

"Who do you take me for that lech of a priest there." He looked down to see that Miroku had disappeared and somewhere in the midst their discussion ended up behind Kagome.

Just as a certain hand was about to find a place it shouldn't a loud smack was heard. Miroku was on the floor in milliseconds clutching his bloody nose and acting like the world was ending. Kagome just say there in her same cross legged position lowering her fist.

"I think I'm going to like this girl!" Sango commented gleefully as she stepped on Miroku to sit next to the girl. "Why are you sitting here there are some comfortable chairs in the living area." She said gentley.

Kagome merely looked at her with her azure eyes and stared at her for a moment before turning her head to look at the wall painting again. For the brief she saw the tormented eyes Sango knew there was something about this girl and, getting comfortable, sat next to Kagome in silence.

"Don't tell me you're going to start staring at it, too!" Inu Yasha yelled in frustration as he went out of the room mutter incoherent unmentionables under his breath. Sango and Kagome looked at each other briefly before turning back to the mural.
