Chapter Six-

“ Kagome,” Yusuke cried in panic, “ Get down here now.”




Sango pushed him out of the way as she stalked towards her friends window. Her hands were balled into fist as she shouted, “ Kagome, what the hell is your problem? What the hell are you doing? You know what? Don’t answer that. Just do as Yusuke said and get down from there.”




Kuwabara shook his head with a grimace. “ Whoa, I know I wouldn’t want to get caught in her crossfire.” Miroku, who was standing next to him, nodded his head.




“ Believe me, you wouldn’t.”




Kuwabara shook his head again. “ You would know wouldn’t you?”




Miroku just smiled.




Kagome, meanwhile, was grinning at Sango with a sly expression on her face. “ Ma’m, yes ma’m.” She stationed her feet on the wall of the house and propelled herself backwards. A chorus of gasps rang out, as many of them didn’t know what she was doing, but they were all surprised when she landed on the nearest branch which fortunately held her weight.




She turned to look at them and grin before jumping onto the branch a few feet below her. On that branch she sat down with her legs dangling on either side, then wrapped her legs around it. She tipped sideways and was upside down, her hair sticking to her sweat drenched face and her eyes glistening in excitement. Stretching her arms so that it reached the branch below, she grabbed onto it, hoping that what she did next wouldn’t give her cousin a heart attack.




“ Kagome,” said cousin yelled, “ What are you doing?”




She snorted. “ What do you think I’m doing? Having tea with the Queen of England? I’m getting myself down from this tree.”





Kurama stepped in before Yusuke could retort. “ Are you sure you don’t want any of else to help? What you are doing is dangerous.”




She gave him a bright smile. “ Oh, I know. That’s the best part.” She smiled again at the looks they gave her. “ Now, if you don’t mind, I feel the blood rushing to my brain.”




Kagome let her legs unwrap from the branch it had been twisted around and ignored the shout that Yusuke made. She was currently about twelve feet off the ground and she being not the tallest person in the world wasn’t in the greatest of advantages. Her face didn’t show any worry though. Just keen enjoyment and curiosity on how she would get down.




“ Kuwabara?” The sudden call of his name surprised him and he looked at Kagome with narrowed eyes. “ Can you come and stand right under me. I think I see a cat stuck up in the tree right…about…there.” Kuwabara immediately rushed towards her his eyes searching for the feline.




“ Where is it, Kagome?” His question was so filled with worry that Kagome almost felt bad for lying to the guy. Almost.




“ Just open your arms wide and I’ll shake it down so you can catch it.” He did as he was told and it was then that Sango figured out was she was doing.




She sighed heavily. “ Kagome you know that isn’t safe. What if he misses? Then I’ll have to clean up the shrine floor.”




Kagome rolled her eyes. “ Come on, Sango. He won’t miss. And if he does I guess that I’ll have to use it. Sango, the blood is really going fast now.”




But Sango wasn’t about to let go. “ Forget about the blood Kagome. You know that won’t do anything to you. And what do you mean you have to use it? You can’t use it. We’re not supposed to use it. And after what we learned today I don’t think it’s safe to use it. Not until we know that it’s safe for them to know we use it. So don’t you damn use it. Because if he doesn’t fucking catch “the cat” I will.” She was steaming by now and Kagome had a nervous grin on her face. Keiko stifled a giggle, knowing that if she let it out Sango would turn on her next.




“ What is ‘it‘ ?” Yusuke scratched his head in an attempt to make things out. “ What was the “it” that she was going to use? And why the hell should she be worried about a cat when her life is in mortal danger?”




All three girls answered in unison. “ Nothing.” Then Kagome said her piece.




“ My life is not in mortal danger. I have it under control.”




Kuwabara, who still had is hands outstretched, looked up. “ Kagome, I don’t see the cat.” Kagome snorted softly.




“ Oh, it’s up there. Just you wait and see.” She crossed her fingers. Oh, please Kami-sama, don’t make me have to use it. “ Close your eyes, Kuwabara.” He did as he was told and Kagome let go of the branch. A chorus of “Kagome’s” rang out but, like before, she ignored it. She fell into Kuwabara’s arms as was planned and let out a sigh of relief. Kuwabara opened his eyes to look down at her.




“ You’re not a cat.”

Kagome plopped down on the couch and leaned against the armrest, her legs tucked under her. Sango sat next to her, her arms crossed and Keiko was on the floor in front of her, barely restraining her giggles. Kagome rubbed temples as a headache briefly touched the area. She closed her eyes in another attempt to sooth the place and to also block out Yusuke’s ranting. Keiko finally interrupted him.




“ How did it happen anyway?”




Everyone turned to the miko who donned a thoughtful look. “ I actually have a really good excuse for it.”




“ Oh, please, enlighten us,” Yusuke said sarcastically.




Kagome glared at him for interrupting her before continuing. “ As I was I saying,” another glare to Yusuke, “ Any of you would have done the same thing if you were in my shoes.” She tapped her finger against her chin. “ I was just putting away some of my things when I saw something in my window. It was black and small so I thought maybe a cat had got stuck up there. I opened my window to let it in so that maybe I could take it outside and let go free. I was saying , ’ Come here, kitty, come here’ when it turned it’s head and I saw red eyes.




“ Now my first instinct was to scream because I thought it my be the devil’s messenger but then I realized it couldn’t be that because this was a shrine and they wouldn’t dare come here.” She took a breath and ignored Kuwabara’s sputtering. “ But then I also noticed that it had to be a dog because it looked to big to be a cat so then I said, ‘ Come here, doggy, come here’, but then I thought “ Dog’s can’t climb a tree or jump into one as big as the God Tree.’ So them I thought that maybe it was a bird, you know, those big American birds called Hawks. But I didn’t ever remember them being black so I pushed that idea out of my head.” By now Kuwabara was gasping for breath as he tried to hold in his laughs. Yusuke was smirking unabashedly and Kurama looked slightly uncomfortable but otherwise his face was completely blank.




“ After a while of trying to guess what it was I decided that I’d just climb onto the roof and figure it out. But when I tried to pull my body up I slipped and that’s how it happened .” Both Sango and Miroku looked dumbstruck and Kurama’s face was still blank but the rest of them were openly laughing.




“ So you almost killed yourself because of the little dude?”




Kagome looked confused. “ Little dude?” Yusuke hit Kuwabara upside the head to which he thankfully didn’t respond to.




“ Nothing, Kagome. Kuwabara’s just being dumb again.” This, the orange-haired teen did take offense to and displayed his displeasure by throwing a wild punch at his friend. Yusuke easily dodged it. The others ignore them, already used to it.




Kagome giggled suddenly, startling the group. “ Stop tickling me Keiko!” She laughed again, this time drawing her legs further under her.




Her friend looked at her in confusion. “ That’s not me Kagome. Maybe it’s Sango?” The aforementioned girl shook her head in denial and Kagome looked down. She immediately hissed something the rest couldn’t understand before sitting down next to Keiko on the floor, a diverting smile on her face. “ So…who’s up for ramen?”
