Stuck with you

Chapter8:Breakfast

*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*+~*

Queen Ichigo walked briskly around her palace. That was the only way she got her exercise since she didn't like going out. It was much too crowded and hot for her liking. She didn't pay attention where she walked, because she knew the whole palace by heart. So, the queen jogged on not expecting anything new to occur.

Then, what she saw made her stop dead in her tracks. There was her daughter with her head on Inuyasha's shoulder sleeping. Inuyasha was sleeping as well. Wasn't a servant supposed to check this hallway? The queen smiled. Her daughter was FINALLY getting married, but that smile turned into a frown when she saw Inuyasha's arms. They were crossed over his chest to himself. `One of those arms should be around Kagome's waist or at least over her shoulder. Grr.' But then something red caught her eye and her smile was once again in place. It was Inuyasha's haori. So the hanyou WAS warming up to Kagome...

Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw Inuyasha twitch slightly. His head lolled to the side. Queen Ichigo walked quickly out of the room before he would wake up. She was going to give a certain servant a promotion.

Kagome woke up from the slight movement of Inuyasha's head. Was her head on Inuyasha's shoulder? She withdrew her head quickly and sharply. Why was she so warm? She looked down at herself. Inuyasha gave her his haori? Aww, how sweet! Wait, no! She's supposed to hate Inuyasha. He always yelled at her anyway. Inuyasha twitched slightly again. `Oh no! Is he waking up? I got to get out of here!' She walked out of the hallway as fast as she could, dropping the haori next to Inuyasha. There were more servants on patrol in the morning. She could ask on of them for directions.

Right after she left, Inuyasha slowly opened one eye then instantly winced. The sunlight hurt. There was a window right in front of him. He closed his eye and tried to settle back to sleep. His back had a strange ache in it. (It was from falling asleep on the uncomfortable ground.) A scent reached his nose. It smelled good... and like Kagome! Inuyasha's eyes popped open. `Ack, no! The sunlight!' he automatically shielded his eyes then rubbed them, adjusting to the morning rays of the sun.

He felt Kagome's scent going farther away from him. (A/N He just woke up and he's still half asleep and he's gonna act all weird now k?) `No!' he thought, `I need to smell the lovely scent!' he scrambled up, unconsciously snatching his haori. Inuyasha followed the scent with his nose high in the air and the rest of his body following limply, like a zombie. He was getting closer and closer. He just knew it. The scent was becoming stronger and clearer. He thought about seeing her lovely figure, her beautiful face and then he snapped out of it wide awake. Inuyasha mentally slapped himself and blushed deeply. `Eeewwww! I did not just think that! Think that, I didn't. She is ugly. Beautiful, she isn't,' Inuyasha thought, `Ack, now I'm getting poetic. Oh no!'

All thoughts were wiped away when he spotted her talking to a servant. "Yes, can you tell me where the dining room is? I'm afraid I've gotten lost," Inuyasha heard her voice say

Inuyasha did his best to look angry and stomped toward her. "What did you think you were doing??? You were going to leave me all alone???" Kagome and the servant looked stunned. Inuyasha sent the already terrified servant a death glare that sent him running, screaming some things about a rabid dog.

Kagome by that time had snapped out of her daze and was in the process of staring Inuyasha down. Finally, after a thick moment of silence, Inuyasha shouted, "WHAT??"

Kagome narrowed her eyes and replied in a dangerously low voice, "Oh, you know what..."

Inuyasha threw out his arms in defeat, "Stop staring at me!"

"Well, you shouldn't have yelled at that poor servant! He's tramatized enough as it is!" Kagome yelled at him.

"What's got him all scarred for life? Seeing your ugly face?" Inuyasha shot back. Kagome was instantly quiet. She turned on her heel and walked swiftly away.

`Does he really think I'm ugly?' she thought. Inuyasha didn't actually think she'd take his comment to heart.

"Hey! Wait up! You think I can find the way to breakfast all by myself?" Inuyasha said following her.

She halted and Inuyasha clumsily bumped into her and fell down. "You really aren't a morning person are you?" she asked him and kept on going.

Inuyasha got right back up. "What does that matter to you?" he asked her.

"Just a thought," Kagome replied, not waiting for Inuyasha to catch up to her. Kagome looked around.

"What are you looking for?" Inuyasha asked with an eyebrow raised.

"A servant. What else?" Kagome said. "Oh, there's one now! Just leave all the talking to me, okay Inuyasha?" Inuyasha didn't answer and just glared at her. "Good boy!" she said and patted him lightly on the head. Inuyasha stared after her with an odd expression on his face as she went to the servant.

"Excuse me?" Kagome asked him politely.

He turned around smiling charmingly and answered her. "Yes fair maiden?" Inuyasha rolled his eyes at that. The servant looked to be around the age of Inuyasha, maybe a little older and taller. He had black hair pulled back in a small low ponytail (I bet you're all wondering who it is^_^).

"Would you happen to know where the dining room is? Inuyasha and I seemed to have gotten lost." Kagome said.

Inuyasha was mumbling to himself under his breath, "Oh, she's nice to him, not me." By the time he was finished moping around, Kagome had gotten the directions.

"Thanks!" Kagome said to the guard cheerfully.

"Anytime! By the way, my name's Miroku," the servant replied smiling.

Kagome nodded to him. "Come on Inuyasha! Aren't you hungry?" She pulled him by him arm. He wrenched him arm away from her though and stuffed his arms up sleeves his haori and followed her. Kagome remained to be cheerful though which bugged Inuyasha to no end. Kagome walked around a corner and was out of sight for a second and Inuyasha, of course, followed her around the corner. When he got there, however, she wasn't there anymore.

Inuyasha looked around. `Where'd that annoying girl go now?' he thought with his eyebrows furrowed and in the bad mood he was in. He sensed her trying to sneak out from behind him and smirked.

"BOO!" Kagome yelled out from behind him trying to lighten up his mood and frightening him just for fun. Inuyasha wasn't the least bit phased. Five seconds went by in total silence. Inuyasha turned around slowly and saw her.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" he yelled. "Whoa! Your `boo' wasn't scary at all but your face? Now that's freaky."

Kagome stuck her tongue out at him and glared at him. She walked away from him, making her way to the dining room.

"I've never heard of a princess so immature as to do that," Inuyasha said quietly behind her. Kagome turned around sharply and raised her pointer finger threateningly in front of him and he regretted ever saying that. Inuyasha had a horrified expression on his face. Kagome turned back around satisfied from scaring him just for a second. `I wasn't scared. Heh heh, not scared one bit.' He thought.

They finally reached the big doors that lead into the dining room. Kagome entered first, politely and with good posture. Inuyasha came in after her, slouched, arms crossed, and yawning. Queen Ichigo smiled brightly at them. "Glad you could make it! What kept you two?" she asked.

"Uhh… got lost," Kagome told her mother.

The queen, still smiling, said, "Sit down and eat."

Kagome sat down first, neatly taking her chair out and straightening up her skirt before sitting down. Inuyasha on the other hand, yanked out a chair next to Kagome, making a big noise, and plopped down on it. Kagome took a piece of bread and cut it cleanly with a knife, before taking it with a fork and eating it not spilling a single crumb. Inuyasha took a piece of bread threw it up in the air and caught it in his mouth. Then, he ripped some of the bread out with his hands, spilling crumbs all over him, munching loudly with his mouth open. Sango, who was also sitting on the table giggled at the scene. By the looks of it, Inuyasha and Kagome had nothing in common.

After a while, Kagome excused herself from the table saying that she needed to take a bath and get cleaned up and took a slice of bread in her hand, while no one was looking, in secret. Inuyasha continued eating like nothing ever happened, but he wondered why Kagome even needed a bath when she didn't have a single piece of dust on her. Once she left, Inuyasha felt foreign to the table, like he didn't know anyone. Well, that was true. There was about ten people on the table and he only knew two. He felt like all eyes were on him so he nervously slowed down his eating. He didn't have that much of an appetite anyway. Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore so he stood up and said, "Umm… I'm gonna go because um… I gotta go do something that's uh… not boring. Heh heh." With that, he left the table and then left the room.

Once he was out, he felt as if he could breath normally again. He concentrated on sniffing out a certain scent, and that was Kagome's. He followed her scent which led him to her room. He took a step inside and saw Kagome throwing up a piece of bread and trying to catch it with her mouth. Inuyasha raised and eyebrow. Her face missed the piece of bread completely and fell to the floor in front of Inuyasha. Kagome bent down to get it and saw a pair of feet. She looked up and saw Inuyasha who then burst out laughing at her.

"Hahaha! You-gasp- That was funny! Hahahahahaha!" he continued laughing at her. Kagome stood up with her hands on her hips and her eyebrow twitched, clearly showing she was annoyed.

"Okay, look. I'm gonna go take a bath and you gotta stay here like a good little boy," she said and pinched his cheek, "Okay?" she didn't wait for an answer, "Good!" Kagome slammed the door in his face.

"Owww!" Inuyasha whined as he held his reddened cheek.
