InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Center ❯ Punishment ( Chapter 4 )

[ Chapter four - Punishment

Kagome held her head high. No chance in all the hells could he make her. It was totally preposterous and she wouldn't degrade herself and actually do what he wanted her to. He couldn't be serious, could he?

"…And if you don't want to do that then you can spend a night with the chef… alone." Inuyasha finished with a smirk. He was inhumane.

"But… But…" Kagome fumed, trying to find some way out of her punishment. It wasn't working. No ingenious plans, nothing at all. Kagome was stuck. With a resentful sigh, Kagome plunked down in a chair and rested her head in her hands. "When do I have to start?"

"Umm…" Inuyasha looked at his clock which now read 4 AM. "In three hours."

Kagome groaned again and started to leave when Inuyasha stopped her. "And Kagome… Don't be late… You'll regret it." And with one last glance at her master's devilish grin, Kagome left his room and made for her own annoyingly small bed. What she would give to be able to sleep in Inuyasha's bed again… AH! Don't think like that! Kagome desperately yelled at her self.

With a sigh Kagome settled down in her bed, pleased at how sleep over took her almost immediately.

(o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )

Kagome was awaken rather abruptly when she felt something very cold and very wet sliding down her back. Kagome's skin instantly formed goose bumps and she gasped, jerking away from the extremely cold wet something. Kagome only opened her eyes as she heard chuckling coming from behind her. Inuyasha.

"INUYASHA!" Kagome screamed at the top for her voice, causing him to clap him hands over his poor abused ears.

"BITCH!" He yelled back, grabbing her ankle and dragging her, kicking and screaming, out of bed and across the floor. Poor Kagome was hauled, eyes heavy but mind alert, to Inuyasha's room. He growled and dropped her just inside his room. "You're late." He stated flatly.

Kagome looked at the clock beside his bed. 7:08AM. Kagome could have cried.

"Alright bitch, lets start with breakfast. I want…" Inuyasha contemplated his choices for a moment. "I'll have a bowl of Raman, a tall glass or freshly squeezed grape fruit and a chocolate sundae."

Kagome stuck out her tongue. Sure, she was exhausted, but that combination was enough to make her feel sick; and first thing in the morning?

"How about toast, sausage and eggs… and orange juice?" Kagome suggested, not sure that it was health to eat chocolate and noodles first thing in the morning.

"I'll have the Raman and ice cream, Bitch, and don't forget the Ketchup." He crossed his arms and glared in her direction.

Kagome whined and tried to push herself off the floor but found she had almost no control over her heavy stiff limbs. To say the least it was difficult and took nearly eight minutes. I think now it's safe to say that Kagome is not a morning person.

"Hurry up, wench!" Inuyasha snapped from his lounging position in his bed.

"Stupid bastard," Kagome muttered as she finally got to her feet on wobbly legs and started out to the kitchen.

On her way down the hall, Kagome wobbled and crashed right into a wall and then missed the kitchen all together. In all that took her at least five minutes.

Upon entering the kitchen, Kagome found a multi tasking Miroku. He was sitting in his boxers reading the paper, eating cereal, pouring orange juice and somehow he managed to ask Kagome what she wanted. It was quite a show and it took Kagome a moment to answer.

"I need Inuyasha's breakfast." Kagome finally answered.

Miroku, finishing his sentence and took another bite of cereal then stood up. Walking around the kitchen, he took out various items from random cupboards. Some how, the breakfast Inuyasha ordered seemed to materialize before her eyes.

"Thank you Miroku!" Kagome smiled; relieved she didn't have to make it.

"Yeah, no problem," Miroku returned her smile and looked her over once before he went back to his morning breakfast and paper. Suddenly Kagome was worried about Sango. She opened her mouth to ask, but changed her mind when she heard a: "HURRY UP BITCH!" from down the hall.

"I'm coming; I'm coming, spoiled bastard." Kagome mumbled as she carefully made her way down the hall.

"I HEARD THAT!" Inuyasha screamed out his door.

Kagome huffed has she backed carefully into his room, the tray just balanced in her hands. She turned and the sight of him made her want to just dump his disgusting little breakfast on his lap. There he was, lying sprawled out on the enormous bed, reading a magazine. He was a perfect image of a spoiled little rich kid and it made Kagome's blood boil.

"Hurry up!" He barked as he looked up at her, her pretty face a distortion of anger. He thought it was hilarious.

Kagome was anything but amused however. So, reluctantly, she brought him his breakfast and watched as he slurped down the disgusting excuse for a breakfast. Kagome felt her stomach turn over as Inuyasha slurped down some Raman that he had run through his ice cream… and then he followed that with a gulp of his juice. Yes, it was enough to make anyone feel queasy.

With a slurp and a burp Inuyasha was finished his breakfast. He handed the try back to Kagome with orders to wash it and then picked up his magazine again. Kagome was only too happy to leave. She walked down the hallway with his empty bowls and then entered the kitchen. Miroku was there, playing poker with Shippou and loosing pitifully.

"Kagome!" Shippou grinned and greeted Kagome from his spot at the counter. The only thing preventing him from tackling her with an enormous hug was the one hundred dollar and chores for a week pool. He was not going to loose.

Kagome gave Shippou a grin and then went to clean the tray and dishes.

"Don't worry about it Kagome, I'll get it." Miroku told her, not looking up from Shippou. He had lost almost everything, but he was determined not to loose again.

"Miroku…" Kagome was hesitant to ask, but she had to know. "Miroku, where is Sango?"

"My room," was Miroku's easy response.

Kagome gawked at him, he mind once again fallen into the gutter. What was poor Sango doing in his room? What could the pervert have done to her? Had he tied her to his bed and then had his way with her all night long? Was she still recovering from his abuse? What could he have done to her? Kagome took a deep breath, prepared to ask the string of questions her mind was following when a loud bellow came from Inuyasha's room.

"KAGOME!"

Kagome sighed. What did he want now?

Inuyasha was standing in the doorway connecting his room to his private bathroom. He was dressed in nothing but a small towel. Kagome's mouth hit the floor, and thought she would deny it a little bit of drool was forming at the corners of her mouth. As her eyes followed the muscle lines of his defined chest, she found herself wondering what was beneath- STOP! Kagome mentally screamed at herself and pulled her chin off the floor. She observer the smug look on his face and crossed her arms, looking at him indignantly. What was he so cocky about anyways?

"Come on bitch, I want a bath." Kagome gulped.

"What do you mean?" Kagome could have kicked herself. Her voice sounded weak in her own ears. Damn it, Inuyasha.

"So run the water, bitch."

"Why can't you do it yourself?"

"I wasn't the one running around until one last night!"

"I wasn't running around! I was visiting with my family!"

"What ever bitch, run the bath."

Kagome balled her hands into fists and stomped her foot once before storming into the bathroom, turning on the bath and then stomping out.

"Hold up, bitch." Inuyasha caught her on her way out. "Just where do you think you're going?"

"I'm leaving you to your bath." Kagome huffed, desperately trying not to look in his direction, especially not at his gorgeous body.

"No your not."

Kagome's face burned red. "I am not having a bath with you."

"How many times do I have to tell you, bitch, get your mind out of the gutter!"

Kagome glared at him. If he called her `bitch' one more time…

"Look bitch,-"

"AH! MY NAME ITN'T BITCH, ITS KAGOME! GET IT? KA-GO-ME. KAGOME!" She was panting, the rage still burning high in her blood.

"Are you done… bitch?"

Kagome shrieked. She just couldn't take it any more. She slapped him.

Before she knew what was happening, Kagome was up against the wall, the hanyou pinning her there with his body. She could feel the heat rising in her face. They were in a very compromising positing. For what seemed like hours, the only sound was that of the water pouring into the bath tub. Then he spoke, sending shivers up and down her spine and causing a heat to pool at the bottom of her stomach.

"Listen… bitch. I'll call you any damn thing I want, got it?" When he spoke it was a whisper in her ear. All Kagome could do was gulp and nod slowly.

"Good." Inuyasha stepped away and as if nothing had happened, he tested the temperature of the water, drained the tub and then started complaining about how cold it was. All Kagome could do was stare at him.

(o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )

It was more than an hour later when Inuyasha emerged from his bath. He was in a bath robe this time and his hair was wound up in a towel. Kagome was glad she couldn't see the droplets of water running down his defined chest, even the thought seemed to excite her in ways that she had hoped he never could.

"Alright, bitch," Inuyasha settled down in a comfortable looking chair. "Nail trimmer is on the dresser, along with all the other stuff." The hanyou settle his feet on a foot stool. Kagome looked at him, then at the dresser, then back at the hanyou.

"No fucking way."

(o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )

Inuyasha's hair was done up all in curlers, his face sported a mud mask, cucumbers covering his eyes and Kagome was massaging his just pedicured feet. To say the least, the hanyou was pampered. Kagome had been pampering his sorry ass all day long and half listened to him talking about his work and what an ass hole his brother was.

As Inuyasha opened his mouth to tell yet another story, Kagome put extreme pressure on one of the most sensitive places on the bottom of his feet. He yelped slightly and pulled his foot back. With the jerking motion he sat op, the cucumbers falling and then sticking to his mask. Kagome was averting her eyes from his open bathrobe.

The hanyou growled at her and leaned forward, his legs open, elbows resting on his knees. He looked as mad as he could in his mask.

"Look at me, wench," He growled as she continued to look down.

Kagome, not looking up, and pointed between his legs. Inuyasha looked down and closed his legs. He was thankful Kagome couldn't see his blush beneath his mask.

"Okay, look at me wench," Inuyasha said and cleared his throat.

Kagome looked up at him, her face bright red. "What?" She asked bluntly.

Inuyasha frowned. "Listen wench, I think you need a quick lesson in respect." Inuyasha nearly opened his legs again, but thought twice and continued his lecture. "Listen, you may or may not-"

BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG

"Hair!" Kagome shouted and fell over herself as she jumped to her feet. Anything to get out of that excruciatingly uncomfortable position. To think, he was going to give her a lecture respect! He was the one who needed it!

Kagome uncurled the curlers from Inuyasha's silky locks. They fell loose, only succeeding in straightening his hair even more. When Kagome brushed out his hair and blow dried it, she was scared that Inuyasha would attack her because his hair wasn't curly. And so with a gulp, Kagome help a mirror in front of Inuyasha. She waited and waited but the angry retort she was waiting for didn't come. She looked up to find Inuyasha admiring his reflection.

"Humn, not bad bitch. Took you half an hour, but I guess it's worth the wait." Kagome sighed in relief and then looked at the clock. It was two thirty.

"Um, Inuyasha?"

"What is It bitch?"

"Um… Can I go now? Is my punishment over yet?"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, his eyes locking with hers, neither looking away. Though she looked tired, Inuyasha figured she could handle a few more hours of torture. "No bitch. Now, get my clothes from the closet… and hurry!"

Kagome's jaw twitched at being called bitch again, but she sighed heavily and followed Inuyasha's orders.

(o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )( o.o) (o.o) (o.o )

"Hurry up bitch! I don't have all day!" Inuyasha screamed.

"But Inuyasha, I look stupid!" Kagome yelled from the bathroom.

"Oh who cares? Just come on!"

"Urg!" Kagome opened to door and stepped out in a pair of Sango's old pants which were far too long and far too tight. For a shirt she wore one of Inuyasha's t-shirts. It was grey with red lettering across the front that was too complicated for Kagome to read. Did I mention that it was also huge? It was extremely baggy, but to make it more presentable, she tucked it into the pants. She felt like she was a hooker all over again.

Inuyasha's mouth fell open at the sight of her. He didn't see a tramp in baggy clothes, no, instead he saw a beautiful young woman, her hair falling loosely down her back is delicate waves, her face soft and perfect. He couldn't help but notice how the shirt she wore tightened obviously over her full round breasts. Her pants fit like a second skin, sticking to every little curve of her shapely legs. Yes, she was exceptional. Of course, all this took only a matter of seconds, seconds of which Kagome was not looking at Inuyasha. The floor seemed to be more interesting at the time.

"Well," Inuyasha cleared his throat, "let's go!"

Kagome followed Inuyasha out the door and into the elevator. She gulped at the doors closed and then griped onto the side railing as hard as she could. Inuyasha glanced at her but refrained from saying anything. She was still nervous around a lot of the more modern technologies.

The elevator was sinking steadily downward and Kagome was beginning to relax again. She was watching the little yellow light blink on and off over the numbers of the floors. It was on 10 when it unexpectedly slowed to a halt. Kagome had to brace herself with the railing for fear she would fall. There was a ping and then the doors slid open…

[Chapter 5 - Preview

Who is it on the other side of the elevator? What kind of drama is he going to stir up? (yes it's a `he') Why would Inuyasha take Kagome all the way into town? And, just out of curiosity, what's a date mean?
