Stuck With You

Chapter 9: Invention of Ice Cream and theLoser Song

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

Kagome walked through the halls back to her room, coming back from her shower, in a bath robe, drying off her drenched hair. Her footsteps echoed the empty hallway. She opened the door and walked in to see Inuyasha sleeping on her bed. Inuyasha wasn't really sleeping. He just wanted to see what Kagome would do if she thought he was sleeping. Make sense? Kagome went through some of her drawers and pulled out a dress to change into. She started changing and Inuyasha shut his eyes closed tight and went red. Once she finished Inuyasha was quite relieved. She sat down on the edge of the bed next to Inuyasha and combed her hair. Once she was done, she got up, went to a different drawer and took out a book. Then she sat down on the same spot on the bed next and started reading. After a few minutes of it, Inuyasha got bored. He was actually wide awake just closing his eyes.

Inuyasha pretended to yawn, and just get up. He stretched his arms above him, and rubbed his eyes before opening them fully, trying to look convincing about just waking up. Kagome stared at him with her eyebrow raised. She'd never seen people do so much stuff just for waking up. She, herself, would be too lazy. "G'morning!" she said cheerfully.

"Mmmhmm," he replied and she went back to reading. After a moment of silence he said childishly, "Watchya doin?

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm reading a book," she replied. All was quiet again for a few minutes.

"This is boring! Let's do something funner Kagome!" he said like a little kid.

"Reading is fun and besides, I don't thing "funner" is a word," Kagome said, boring Inuyasha.

"Let's go outside to the marketplace!" Inuyasha said enthusiastically

"I'm not allowed to go out. My mom would be suspicious if she just saw me walking out of this room," Kagome said as she put down her book, finally giving up on reading while Inuyasha was around.

"We don't have to use the door!" Inuyasha told her like it was obvious.

"What do you propose we use then?" Kagome asked him. Inuyasha pointed to the window and smiled proudly at his idea. "What? You serious? Look, you can probably jump out and land safely but me? I am but a measly human girl," she said sarcastically.

"I'll carry you," Inuyasha said carelessly.

"Umm… I guess it's okay then," Kagome said uncertainly. Inuyasha went and opened the window. Then he went and carried Kagome off the bed bridal style and jumped out the window, landing softly on his feet. Kagome had closed her eyes in fright. Inuyasha almost laughed at her. "You can put me down now," she said after she opened her eyes again.

"Sure," Inuyasha said and smiled. He dropped her not too gently on the ground. Kagome glared at him and he said for defense, "That was for pinching my cheek!" Kagome shook her head and rolled her eyes. "C'mon! Get up so we can go now!" Inuyasha said motioning her to get up with his hands, but making no move whatsoever to actually try to help her get up. She got up, dusted her clothes off, and caught up to Inuyasha who decided to go before she was done and they started walking, Kagome behind and Inuyasha in front of her.

Once they got there, at the marketplace, Kagome looked around fascinated. "I've never been to the marketplace before!" There was a sign nearby. It said, `Ice cream! Get you ice cream here! It's a new invention and I assure you, it'll be great…' "Hey Inuyasha, let's try out the ice cream!" she said excitedly while pointing to the sign.

"But I dun have any money!" Inuyasha said.

"That's okay! I have money! I'll pay for you!" Kagome told him and dragged him over to the ice cream-selling place. In Inuyasha's mind, and probably in all of yours too, anything free was good so he went with her. "Excuse me?" Kagome said patiently waiting for the guy to notice her. He didn't hear her though. Well, it was pretty crowded and loud outside.

"Oi, You!" Inuyasha yelled at him. He turned around and saw them. "See, that's how you do it," Inuyasha whispered into Kagome's ear.

"Yes? Would you like to try my new invention of ice cream?" the man asked kindly.

"Well, duh! That'd be why we came here, wouldn't it?" Inuyasha pointed out rudely.

"Okay!" the man said kindly and took out something from an ice box. It was literally a box with ice in it. He put it on some triangular shaped thing he called a cone and gave one each to them. "That'll be 50 yen, please (AN: I have no idea how much it would really cost so ignore it if it's too little or too much). Kagome pulled some yen out of her pocket and gave it to the nice man at the ice cream store.

"Let's go Kagome!" Inuyasha said impatiently.

"Okay, Okay, I'm coming!" Kagome said. "Where are we going next?" she asked licking her ice cream. It was quite tasty.

"You'll see when we get there," he said mysteriously. So, they walked a while until they got to the alley where Inuyasha and his friends gambled. "When we do get there, don't leave my side. I don't know what they would do to you." Kagome pondered curiously about the way he said `they.'

They got inside and everyone stopped what they were doing as usual to see Inuyasha coming in. One person said, "Why, I thought you were dead!" Another said, "I thought you were gonna leave us forever. Glad to see you back." He patted him on the back.

One man eyed Kagome. "Who's the chick? She looks a little dainty for your taste, Inu." Kagome gave an indignant glare to said man.

"The ugly girl?" Inuyasha asked warily, "I dunno, she just keeps following me around everywhere." Kagome glared at Inuyasha now, hurt. She knew Inuyasha didn't like her but this was going too far. What she failed to see, though, was Inuyasha's fingers crossed behind his back as he called her ugly.

"Ugly?" One guy said, "If you think the chick is ugly, would you hand her over to us?" He laughed stupidly. Kagome was scared now. What if Inuyasha said yes? She really wasn't sure anything about Inuyasha now.

"NO," Inuyasha said almost immediately. "Oh, umm… I mean, nah. I don't think so." Kagome sighed in relief. Nobody would ever question Inuyasha in fear for their lives. "Don't worry Kagome," he whispered to her, "I'm not that mean! I would never hand you over to them."

"Really? I had thought differently! I'd never know what you'd do next anymore," Kagome whispered back angrily. They approached a table where some big men with multicolored teeth gambled with dice. Kagome looked at their teeth disgustedly especially when they laughed or more like snorted.

"Uh, Kagome?" Inuyasha said casually, trying to look cool.

"What," she snapped, making Inuyasha flinch.

"Could I- um, Could I borrow some yen? Heh heh," Inuyasha asked her as he scratched the back of his head.

Kagome clutched subconsciously at her money bag and asked, "...Why?"

Inuyasha replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "For gambling, idiot!" Kagome shot Inuyasha another glare. How DID Inuyasha take all those glares anyway?

Kagome flipped her hair back and said simply, "No". The men around the table snickered. "Guess she's not so dainty, eh?" Inuyasha glared at them and they instantly grew quiet. Wow, a lot of glaring going on around here huh?

"Come on, wench. Give me the money!" Inuyasha demanded.

Kagome just folded her arms across her chest and said, "Inuyasha, I already told you once and I'll tell you again. NO. I wouldn't my yen being spent on such a ____ cause. "Most of the people were now watching and laughing, like it was some comedy show, meant to be laughed at.

Inuyasha was starting to get annoyed and embarrassed. Who did this girl think she was, making a fool out of him in front of all these people? Did she have any idea how long it took to build up that reputation in the first place? "Don't make me hurt you," he said warningly.

"You wouldn't. I don't know you that badly," Kagome said as she put her hand on her hips and giving him a stern look, clearly showing she was disappointed at him.

Inuyasha was about to put his head down in shame before he realized that wouldn't look very good in front of everyone else and the girl was trying to make him feel guilty on purpose. "Grrr, you're over doing it, girl!" Inuyasha snarled. All the people there were watching them now and eating at the same time kind of like they were watching a movie in the movie theater.

"Okay, that's it dogboy! We're going home!" Kagome said, finally loosing her temper the same way a mother would, as she dragged him out the door by his ear. Some random person went, "Ooooh! Inu got told!" Everyone burst out laughing at that causing Kagome to get gruesome glimpses of their yellow and gold teeth. At least Inuyasha had nice teeth. Wait, why would she care about his teeth? What kind of subject is teeth to think about anyway? She shook her head to clear her thoughts.

"Owww! Kagome! Stop it! That hurts!" Inuyasha whimpered as they left the laughing hangout of criminals behind them. Kagome let go of Inuyasha's ear. Inuyasha put his hands up near her neck almost as if to choke her, but Kagome glanced at his hands and then looked up at him warily. She new he would never hurt a girl. He was way to chicken. Yep, he was probably just a big `ol softie underneath. Inuyasha put his hands down and leapt on the top of a small shop, then jumped off it to the roof of the house next to it. As Kagome watched Inuyasha leaping off to the distance, vanishing from her line of sight, she realized something. He was abandoning her in the middle of the marketplace! She had never been here before this and it's not like she memorized the whole way here. She was just following Inuyasha. He did that intentionally! Kagome thought accusingly.

"INUYASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kagome yelled. It was sure to reach Inuyasha's hearing, but he didn't care. He completely ignored it and went on his way, pretending Kagome wasn't even alive, and trying his best not to feel guilty. "DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE ME HERE! JUST WAIT TILL EVERYONE FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS! YOU'RE GONNA BE IN SOOO MUCH TROUBLE!" Kagome kept on yelling and people started to turned around and look at her weirdly and she shut her mouth and looked around nervously. "Heh heh…" Oh well. Somebody would eventually recognized her and take her to the castle.

Inuyasha covered his hands over his ears and ran away until Kagome finally stopped shouting. `Dang, that girl could yell!' He had gotten so far away and she still was so loud! He started walking instead of running into the forest.

That Night

Kouga sat in a bar, drunken from sake as he sang a sad song (sad meaning pathetic. Just put the tune of "Clementine" to the song and you'll be alright. Ya know, the one that goes, Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my daaarling Clementine…).

Oh my darling,

Oh my darling,

Oh my daaaarling, Kagome.

We were meant to be together,

But he stooole you away.

Inuyasha

Is a b******,

For he stoooole my Kagome.

Almost killed me,

Just to get her,

But I'll geeet her back someday.

On the other side of the bar, sat a drunken Ranma. Next to him sat Akane not drinking of course.

I got beaten.

I got beaten,

By a woooolf and a dog.

I won no yen,

Or Kagome.

I'm alone now,

In a bar.

Akane, who was starting to get slightly annoyed by him, started singing along to, out of boredness.

No you aren't,

By your side.

I won't leave you,

For getting beaten,

By some random wolf or dog.
