Before:
Kagome, who was starting to get a head rush, said, “Yes, I d--” and was cut off by Inuyasha leaning down and kissing her.
She at once melted and Inuyasha had to support her, or she would fall.
“You still want me to leave?” he asked.
“Mmmmm,” was the reply he got.
Inuyasha smirked and leaned Kagome back up.
“Awww!” came the voices of Rin and Sango. “So cute!
Inuyasha blushed and Kagome kicked Sango.
Now:
“Little brother,” Sesshomaru said, right next to Inuyasha's ear. “Why do you insist to make it a public display that you are in love with you slave?”
Inuyasha blushed even harder at this and said, “Shove it, Sessh.” The he smiled. “Do I have to remind you that you're the one who “fell in love” with our “cousin?” Who, at the time, we didn't even know wasn't our cousin?”
Sesshomaru didn't even blush as he stood up straighter and said back, “And who says that I did not know?” before he walked away.
Inuyasha smiled, even though he was a little pissed that no one had told him who Rin really was.
“Don't worry Inuyasha.” She said. “We just didn't want you to cry is all.”
“Shut up!” Inuyasha said turning back to her. She was now behind the counter, in the usual uniform worn by the other workers.
She smiled at them and said, “So, what'll it be?”
Kagome and Sango both at once ordered water, Kagome because she was underage only being 16 (her birthday had passed the day before she was sold, even though she had told Inuyasha she was 15, she was really 16.), and Sango because she disliked drinks that were strong. Inuyasha, however, smiled and said, “Whatever ya got that's not to strong.”
Rin smiled and nodded, before going to get their drinks. A few moments later she came back, to clear glasses of water in hand, and one glass that was cooler dark, so the liquid was not visible. She set the water in front of the girls and then Inuyasha's in front of him, smiling.
“There you go!” she said, and then turned and scurried away to get drinks for the others waiting. Inuyasha watched her go, wondering why she didn't stay to talk. Those customers could wait, they had been for the past few minutes. But he shrugged and took a drink from the cup, a second later spitting it out.
“Rin!” he growled. “This is lemonade!”
Kagome and Sango smiled, being the ones who had told Rin before to give it to Inuyasha. He glared at them, knowing they were in on it, but didn't say anything. He would have his revenge on Kagome when they got home, and he would tell Miroku that Sango had called him cute, sweet, and that she liked it when he touched her ass, even if she looked furious. Ok, so that would get him a hit, but it was entertainment to Inuyasha.
“Hey,” Miroku said, turning to look at Inuyasha. He hadn't been paying attention to them at all, as he had been watching a girl in the corner. “Inuyasha, isn't that you mom over there kissing that guy?”
Inuyasha swung around and stared at where Miroku was pointing. There was no one there, so he turned back to Miroku, who was laughing the hardest of the three.
“You're gonna pay for that!” Inuyasha said and made to grab Miroku but missed.
“You'll have to catch me first!” he called and ran off towards the exit, just making it out with Inuyasha on his tail.
“Get back here!” Inuyasha called, but Miroku had stopped anyways and turned to face Inuyasha. Inuyasha, who had thought he would keep running, also stopped, but glared at Miroku none the less.
“What the hell was that about?” Inuyasha almost yelled, very pissed off now. Miroku shrugged and was quiet for a moment.
“I met Kouga just a second ago.” He said, glancing at Inuyasha. “You know? The one who was just in the states?”
Inuyasha nodded. He had know that Miroku's friend had gone away to look for some girl…or so Inuyasha though, he had never really wanted to know.
“Well, he was just here. He's back and I wanted to invite him over, but I don't want him to know about Sango. So…” Inuyasha now knew where this was going. “Can I invite him to come to your house?” Miroku asked quickly.
Inuyasha sighed. He had met Kouga, Miroku's friend, a few times, and he really didn't like him. Inuyasha was always trying to find some excuse to hit him, though he usually tried to without any reason anyways. Inuyasha sighed again, but he knew that one day he would hit that wolf boy.
“Whatever,” he finally said, turning away from Miroku before he hit him. “But what is Sango suppose to do? Stay home, alone, all day while you and him go find some girl's or something?”
“Inuyasha!” Miroku said loudly, but it was to late.
“Oh no you don't.” Sango said, glaring at him. “I'm coming with you.”
“Oh Sango, you do care!” Miroku smiled at her and came around to grasp her hands, but she was up and moving away before he was even close.
“No,” she said, grabbing Kagome and making her to the back room. “I just don't want to be home alone in that awful house of yours.” She thought for a moment, then said with a slight frown. “And I don't want to be there if some girl comes over asking to kill you…” Kagome laughed and they entered the lounge, Miroku and Inuyasha following.
“Sesshy,” Kagome said, imitating Rin. “Can I have a pay raise?”
Sesshomaru stared at her, secretly hoping to wipe that smile off her face. It surprised him, not that he showed it, when all she did was smile more.
`There is something about this girl that I do not know. I feel power in her, as I did in the Old Priestesses. Could she be a descendent?'
“Did you go brain dead?” Inuyasha asked, moving forward to knock on his brothers head, but missing when Sesshomaru moved away.
“No,” he said flatly. And left through the back exit.
“Sometimes I wish we didn't have that door there…though it does help when trying to get away from all of the strip crazy girls that come here sometimes.” Inuyasha laughed and Kagome frowned.
`I know I said I didn't care that he stripped…but still! He's happy that girl's like his body? I wonder…how many girl's has he…?' but her thoughts stopped there and started onto another track.. `Why…do I care?' she now thought. `Ok, we kissed…but that was only once. I can't really love him after only so short of a time.'
Inuyasha and Sango were now talking, about what Kagome didn't know. She was sitting on the sofa, hearing only the thoughts in her head.
`Love? Can it really be love? But I've only been with him a few days! No, it must just have been some passing thing, it won't happen again, and Inuyasha won't want it to.' Her heart fluttered as his name was thought and after that his name was her only thought.
`Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuy asha…'
“What do you mean?” said Sango, flaring up at once. “How can you say that!”
“I didn't mean it like that!” Inuyasha said, glaring at her. “You take things to seriously.”
`Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuy asha…'
“I do not!” Sango almost yelled, just stopping herself. “You will never know how seriously I take things.” Her eyes flashed with sadness for a moment before it passed.
“And I won't ever want to!” Inuyasha yelled. “All I said was why don't you slaves just rise up and kill your overlord people?”
`Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuy asha…'
Sango rolled her eyes. “Because, dim-wit, we are beaten into weakness. And have you ever met one of the slave priests? They have spells that keep that weakness with you until you are sold! And the killing is not what bothered me, it's the fact that you called us slaves!”
Inuyasha blinked. He was taken aback. He had never really thought about it like that, and he also really didn't know what else to call them. The Doomed? The Captured? The Beaten-Until-Weak?
`Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuy asha…'
“Whatever,” he said. “It's not my fault if you can't understand what I'm saying about this slave shit.”
Sango almost slapped him, but her training at the castle kept her back. It would not be good to chance the anger of this idiot.
`Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuy asha…'
“I'm not stupid and don't call us slaves! We're free now!” Sango glanced at Kagome and then shook her head. “No, never mind, we're not free. Not as free as we were at the castle. Oh My Princess, what had we gotten ourselves into?”
Inuyasha watched Sango for a moment. She and Kagome really were like sisters. She would be a good relative…
`Wait!' he suddenly thought. `What am I thinking? A good relative? It's like I'm saying Kagome and I are going to be married! But…' he glanced at Kagome, who's eyes were now closed. `She never would want to. But that's beside the point! We kissed, and only once at that! That's not an engagement, so it doesn't matter. We were both just caught in the moment, so whatever. She'll never want to do it again and I'll…I'll…'
But just then there was a distraction in the form of Miroku. Apparently, as he was again coming through the door, he had snuck out and hooked himself a girl. Inuyasha sighed in relief. He secretly was happy that Miroku had just entered, again, it gave him an excuse not to finish his thought.
`Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuyasha…Inuy asha…'
“Oh no,” Sango said, standing up. “Miroku dear!” she stressed the last word. “Baby, my lovely husband,” she stressed this word as well. “Where have you been? And who is this girl? Homeless is she?”
The women on Miroku's arm glared from one to the other then asked, “I thought you said you weren't married? And that you didn't have a girlfriend?”
Miroku stared at Sango then told the women, “I'm not! And I don't! She's only…” but he glanced at Sango and just caught the hurt look, and Miroku knew that she knew what he had been about to say. “…just a friend.” He finished.
The women, though, glared at them all, even the now sleeping Kagome, and walked back out of the room.
“Sango…” Miroku said. “You really should stop.” And before she could move he was beside her and grasping her hands. “I might think you're staring to mean it.”
`Shove off,” Sango said and kicked him, making him fall over. “That close enough to a killing for you Inuyasha?” she spat, glaring at him.
“What?” Miroku said from the floor. “Killing. You wanted her to kill me? Inuyasha, how could you?”
Inuyasha sighed and said, “That's not what I said. I said…never mind, tell you later, let's just go home.” Then glaring at Miroku he said, “We have to get the damn house ready for your friend.”
