InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Valentines ❯ An Argument and a Decision Reached ( Chapter 1 )

“NO WAY!” InuGhost hollered at Seshin. “Seshin you know full well that I detest Valentines Day, and that I will not right a romance fic of my own free will.

“It doesn't have to be all romance. You can write some comedy in it. As for having a choice, well…you don't.” Seshin said with a smile.

Gritting his teeth in anger InuGhost sets to work. “Bloody Valentines day. Way to mushy and way too much emphasis on romance for my tastes.”

 

Disclaimer: (Seshin pops up) InuGhost owns nothing.

 

“What! Why would I ever want to take you anywhere? Especially when it's your time not mine!”

“It always has to be about you. Can't you for at least once in your life actually do what I ask for without having to fight about it?” Kagome yelled standing right in front of InuYasha and looking him in the face.

“Cause it's boring there. No demons to slay, plus I always have to wear that dumb head piece. Idiot!” InuYasha hollered back at Kagome as bright red as his outfit.

Kagome and InuYasha were fighting once again. Over another pointless thing as usual. While Miroku, Sango, and Shippo looked on from a distance.

“Look if you don't want to come then fine. But don't go following me.” Kagome snapped back at InuYasha turning to walk away. “I'll come back when I want to.”

“What. Oh no you don't. If you're so insistent on going then I have to go just to make sure you come back.” InuYasha said as he runs up to Kagome and grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving. Not thinking of the repercussions from doing that.

“InuYasha.” Kagome said in an oddly calm voice while still looking forward.

Upon hearing the inflection in Kagome's voice InuYasha instantly realized his mistake and hurriedly tried to avoid the inevitable. “Kagome wait I didn't…”

“SIT BOY! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!!!!” Kagome yelled sending InuYasha plummeting to the ground. Then turning violently around. “You're such an inconsiderate jerk!” And with that last remark Kagome walked off in a huff stopping momentarily to grab her bag before jumping into the well.

 

“You'd think he'd know better by now not to upset Kagome.” Shippo remarked.

“This is InuYasha we're talking about. He always has to learn things the hard way.” Sango said while standing up to stretch her legs out. “He just never learns.” After saying this she started to stretch her back out and was enjoying it until she felt…it. Acting upon instinct she quickly brought her Hiraikotsu down upon Miroku's head. “Just like Miroku.”

“Sango dear why don't you just save us both this agony. And admit you have feelings for me.” Miroku said while smiling up at Sango with his eyes closed. And received a right hook to the jaw for his efforts.

“Pervert.” Sango muttered lifting her Hiraikotsu and walking back to the village.

Looking at the twitching Miroku while licking his lollypop Shippo came to a decision. “You an InuYasha both need to learn how not to tick Sango and Kagome off.” And with that Shippo took off after Sango.

 

“Who does he think he is. Always barking out orders and thinking he knows what's best.” Kagome was thinking to herself as she was walking back to her house. “He is so frustrating at times!” She hollered out as she slammed the door open and shut behind her.

“Sis you're back early. Didn't things go well with InuYasha?” Sota stated as he watched Kagome come in.

Instead of giving a reply just growled low in her throat still caught up in her thoughts, and stormed up to her room.

“I'll take that as a no then.” Sota whispered scared of Kagome at the moment since he'd never seen her this angry before. Then sighing and shaking his head. “I'll never understand why they just can't get along. Besides what's so special about Valentines day?”

“It's just one of those things Kagome was most likely looking forward to theses days.” Their mother said with a smile on her face saying that she was still happy for her daughter no matter what.

“I know just the thing to cheer her up. There's a recipe for a love potion buried somewhere in the storehouse. One drink from that, and he'll be all over her.”

“I don't think that's really necessary father.” Mrs. Higurashi said effectively keeping her father from prying any deeper into Kagome's private life.

 

“So Kagome has left once again for her own time then.” Kaede said taking a sip of her tea. “Perhaps ye know the reason?”

“You mean besides the fact that she and InuYasha had another fight?” Sango answered. Still looking at the old priestess.

Setting down her tea Kaede looked out the window, and sighs. “With those 2 they always be fighting over something. Usually it being a test or something Kagome has to go back and take.

Starring out the window Sango looked at Kaede out of the corner of her eye and winked, and saw Kaede's minute nod of approval. “Well I know it wasn't about a test this time. It was some type of holiday that was coming up that she was hopping to be a part of. It was really important to her. She only discussed it with me once when we were sure that Miroku and InuYasha weren't listening in.

Turning back with a small twinkle in her eye to face Sango “Mayhaps you know what was so special about this holiday, or what it was called?” she questioned Sango.

Also smiling “No I don't remember. Just that it was something she was really wanting to share with InuYasha. Though I bet her younger brother Sota knows.”

The faint sounds of cloth rubbing together, and of bushes being moved were all the indication the 2 women had that Miroku and InuYasha had successfully eavesdropped on their staged conversation. And sharing a small chuckle together, the 2 went back to enjoying their drinks while Shippo sat in the corner crayoning.

 

“Great so now she's actually mad about something for good reason this time. This is definitely something I don't need.” InuYasha said exasperated.

“True though we do now know of how to go about remedying the situation.” Miroku commented sitting down on a log and setting his staff down beside him.

Leaning up against a tree facing Miroku and trying his hardest to relax InuYasha looked strangely out of place since he was for once not in an angry or upset mood. “Fat lot of good that does us. I have no clue what it is she wants of me. For all I know I might be suppose to go through some boring ceremony for all this.”

Looking up with a mischievous glint in his eyes and leaning forward Miroku already had a half cooked plan put together. “We know of someone who knows though. Sango said that Kagome's little brother knows about this. You could go and get help from him.”

With his usually snort of disgust InuYasha sank to the ground with his arms crossed “The kid's probably as helpful as Shippo. I'd be better off trying to get help from Sesshomaru.” Noticing the look on Miroku's face and hurriedly adding in a barely restrained voice “Which I'm not. Face it it's hopeless and I'll just give up on it.”

Rising to his feet Miroku turned towards the village “If that's what you've decided. Then there's nothing I can do to persuade you. You can go and find a nice tree to sleep in. I am going back to the village to see if there's any of the food left that Kagome brought with her.” And with that he walked off into the darkening night.

“Feh. Like I even care what you think.” Crossing his arms InuYasha stood up and walked deeper into the forest.

 

Morning had barely started to break. The sun's light was just beginning to creep over the horizon into the village. The night animals were just settling down for their rest as the morning creatures slowly began stirring one at a time from their sleep. Over by the well the sun's light had not yet even reached and it was eerily quiet. Had anyone been watching the forest they may have noticed a slight shadow moving around in it. A shadow that was steadily heading towards the well while still going slow enough to be lost amid the still darkened landscape. Just as the sun had just started touching the edge of the forest clearing the figure had made a last mad dash for the well, and was now circling round it as though making sure that no one was around to see it. Satisfied with its search and positive that there was no trace of scent from any humans or fox demons the figure jumped into the well.

 

“Took him long enough to decide to go after her.” A thoroughly exhausted Sango said turning around and leaning back against the rock she had been looking over for the past 3 hours. She laid a hand down on the sleeping Shippo's back where he had curled up against the rock minutes after getting there.

Miroku also using the rock for a chance to relax, but making sure to keep himself far enough from Sango so she wouldn't go hitting him like she had earlier again “He probably stayed up all night trying to decide what to do. That or he wanted to be sure we weren't around to see. Hopefully he sets things right with her.”
