Chapter 5: Feudal Fairytale Smackdown: Hojo vs. Inuyasha
Shippou was sleeping inside the hut when a rather subdued Inuyasha and Kagome appeared back at the campfire in the
Feudal Era. Miroku and Sango
looked up briefly as they noticed the couple’s return. As one, their eyes
noticed the flushed faces, averted eyes, and Kagome’s slightly reddened lips.
After a long hard stare directed at Inuyasha, Sango got up and ushered Kagome towards Kaede’s
home for some dry clothes. She whispered to her quietly as they walked, patting
her shoulder sympathetically, then turned to throw one killer glare back at Inuyasha before following Kagome inside. Miroku winced and shook his head sadly.
“Inuyasha, I am
truly sorry.”
Inuyasha, caught watching Kagome, turned quickly to look at
him. “Huh? Sorry for what?”
The monk sighed dramatically.
“I had not realized that your technique
was so sadly lacking. If I’d known, I would have shared more of my expertise…”
“Your expertise in
what?” What the hell was he
talking about?
“In courting the ladies,
of course.”
Inuyasha blinked at him dumbly for a moment before sneering a bit. “Your expertise in courting
ladies? Man, I always knew you were a hentai
monk.”
“No, no, no” Miroku
corrected hurriedly, “I meant my expertise in watching others courting. A monk is a student of human nature. I, myself, would
never...” Inuyasha snorted loudly.
“Yeah, right.” He paused a moment, “Hey, who said anything about
courting Kagome anyway? What exactly do you think we were doing, Houshi?” he growled.
Miroku shook his head. “Inuyasha,
one look at Kagome-sama’s face, not to mention her lips, and everyone knows what you were doing while
you two were alone.” Inuyasha’s face turned bright
red and he sputtered incoherently for an entire minute before he was able to
speak coherently.
“Well, everyone can just… you’re just
wrong, damn it. I didn’t, I mean we didn’t…nothing happened! Just ‘cause you’re a damn lecher…”
Miroku simply raised one dubious eyebrow and stared at
him, causing Inuyasha to sputter some more.
“It wasn’t…I didn’t..Oh, screw you, houshi.”
He finally spat out, face flaming, and turned away to run to his favorite tree.
Miroku smiled to himself. The beads had been missing for
half a day and so far, Inuyasha had yet to kill or
permanently maim anyone. Life looked promising. Considering that Sango was likely to be watching Inuyasha
closely now, and not paying as close attention to himself, the future
positively glowed. “Aah, my wandering hand, I think
you will be getting a lot of exercise in the following days.” He closed his
eyes, envisioning it briefly, before he smothered the fire and got up to go
inside for the night along with the others.

The next morning started off well. Kagome
came out to see the sun shining brightly, with Inuyasha
nowhere in sight, thank goodness. She didn’t know how she was going to look him
in the face without blushing after last night. At least she would get a break
from him for a while, she thought in relief. She wasn’t sure if he’d remembered
that she had a test in 2 days, what with the demon and the beads and everything
else that had been going on. Her original plan had been to go back home
tonight, giving herself a little time to study, but if Inuyasha
wasn’t around, now might be a good time to make herself scarce. She could
take a few days to recover her equilibrium after, well, after everything that
had happened.
“Sango-chan,”
she called inside to Kaede’s hut, “I’m going to just
head home now, before Inuyasha shows up. Remind him I
have a test soon, will you?” Sango nodded.
“We’ll keep him away as long as we can,
Kagome-chan. You just concentrate on this test of
yours.” Kagome smiled and nodded her thanks. She could always count on Sango to know just what she needed. Tossing her pack on,
she headed out to the well, just missing the hanyou
who was sprinting up to the village from the other direction.
“Oy, wake up,
Kagome.” Inuyasha said loudly as he came into the
hut. Almost immediately, he realized Miroku, Shippou, and Sango were the only
one’s there. “Where’s Kagome?”
“She had to go back home.” Sango said. “She has a test, remember?”
“Feh, stupid
tests again.” he grumbled. “How come she didn’t say goodbye?” he asked,
irritated. Miroku and Sango
both looked at him. “What? What’s that look supposed to mean?” Sango shook her head, muttering to herself as she turned
and started rolling up her bed. Miroku stood up and
came over to Inuyasha.
“I’m certain she’ll start talking to you
again once she forgives you.” he said soothingly.
“Me? Forgives me for what?”
“Well, I’m sure you’d know better than I…”
Miroku went on with a sly smile.
“Hey! I didn’t… I’m
the one who got kicked in the balls! I’m the one who never got an apology!”
Miroku patted him on the shoulder.
“Inuyasha,
you’ll just have to accept it. In cases like this, it is always the man’s fault. Simply apologize and get it over with. Life will run
much smoother that way.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Inuyasha snapped. That stupid monk, always talking about
crap he didn’t understand…
“Just forget it, Miroku,
he’s too dense to figure it out.” came Shippou’s
sleepy voice from the last bedroll.
“Why you little brat…” He leapt over to
give him a good pounding only to get wacked over the
head by Miroku’s staff. “Ow, dammit! What the hell
was that for?”
“You shouldn’t take out your anger at
Kagome on a child, Inuyasha.” he preached.
“I’m taking out my anger at Shippou on Shippou, you baka. Just like I’m taking out my anger
at you on you.”
He said, punching Miroku in
the head so hard the monk fell to his knees. “Stupid idiots.
Why do I even bother…I’m gonna go get Kagome.” He
said.
“Don’t you dare, Inuyasha.” Sango said from the corner as she finished with her mat.
“She has been working really hard over here to help us find the jewel shards
recently. And putting up with you!” she added.” The least we can do is to give
her some peace to do these tests that are so important to her. Just leave her
alone!” He looked at her. Putting up with him? Was he that difficult to be
around? Did she really want to be away from him that much and he’d just never
noticed?
“Fine.” he sulked. “But she’s coming home
the moment she’s done!” and he stormed off. Stupid Sango
and her stupid guilt and stupid Miroku and his stupid
hentai thoughts and ….it was
all just stupid! He looked up and realized he was already at the well and threw
himself down in the grass. Dammit all anyway, just
what was he supposed to do for two days until she came back?
xxxxxx
Not quite two days later, Inuyasha prowled around the Higurashi
living room impatiently. "When the hell is she getting home? I thought she
was supposed to be done with her test by now!" He growled, thinking very
seriously about punching a hole in the wall.
"She's probably getting out of school
any minute now" Mrs. Higurashi's voice called
from the kitchen. "I'm sure she'll be home soon after that."
"Feh, she
always walks too slow. It'll take forever for her to
get here." He stopped pacing and glared at the floor as though it was to
blame for everything. "I'm gonna go get
her." he decided. "She needs to get back home and get goin'." He started to walk out of the house only to
have Mrs. Higurashi call out to him.
"Here, don't forget this!" she
came out with his baseball hat, smiling as she put it on his head for him.
"Uh, thanks." he mumbled,
heading out the door.
He still wasn't entirely sure how to deal
with Kagome's mom. She was just a human, but he was pretty sure Kagome would
have sit him to underworld if he'd been too rude to
her, and old habits died hard.
Leaving the shrine, he ran down the
street, ignoring the looks of surprise from the people around him as he sped
by. Let 'em stare, the idiots. If Kagome couldn't
hurry her ass up, then he was obligated to come and move it along. It was his
duty, really. After all, who else could cross over and make sure she didn't
fiddle around here with something unimportant and useless and silly, something
that didn't involve the jewel shards.
Oh admit it, his conscience said, you just
don’t like her doing things that don’t involve you.
Just because I have to watch over her
pathetic, weak ass body and make sure she doesn’t die before we get all the
shards doesn’t mean it’s all about me, you baka.
Oh really? Didn’t
seem like you found her body all that pathetic last night.
That was- that was just to get her to
keep her damn mouth shut, that’s all!
Riiiiight. You keep telling yourself that, moron.
It’s true!
Inuyasha, who do you think you’re talking to here? Asked his conscience.
Oh…. yeah.
So, be honest, you’re pissed ‘cause Kagome
is off doing stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with you. Hmmmm, isn’t that right?
Oh, just shut the fuck up, you smug
bastard. Inuyasha
muttered, pissed off all over again.
He finally reached Kagome's school and
stopped, noting all the young men and women already in the process of
leaving. Scanning the faces, he watched carefully until he found her with
a group of 3 girls and ...a boy. Fucking wonderful.
He knew there were males in her school, how could he not? However,
thinking about her being near them, and talking to them when he wasn’t around,
was starting to make his hackles rise. She was standing awfully damn close to
the wimpy little human bastard, he thought as he stomped over. What the
hell was up with that? Really, how could her mother allow her to go to this place
where strange guys were coming up to her and...was
that asshole giving her a gift? Oh, HELL no. He started running.
Kagome looked down at the violet wrapped
package in Hojo’s hand and smiled weakly at him.
"It's Green tea. Hopefully it may help
with your blindness, Kagome. Although, are you sure you should be walking home
alone with your eyesight doing so poorly?"
"Oh, it's doing much better now, Hojo, really." She sighed inwardly. Honestly, her
grandfather was an idiot. Blindness? Maybe she should
buy him a book of common illnesses before he gave her something fatal and
finally tipped everyone off, jeesh.
"Are you free this Saturday? I was
wondering if you'd care to go to a movie."
"Uh, well, actually..."
"She'd love to!" all three of her
friends chimed in at once. Oh for Gods' sake, she thought, irritated. Can't
they just leave well enough alone!
"Actually, Hojo, " she started to say, smiling apologetically, but
before she could finish, she was shoved backwards and garish red fabric filled
her vision.
"Who the fuck are
you and what the hell do you mean by giving Kagome gifts?" she heard a
familiar voice yell, and she closed her eyes. Oh no. No, no, no, no, no...this can't be happening, she thought. This just can't be
happening! She glanced sideways to see Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka standing with their eyes wide and their
mouths hanging open. This can't be happening!!
"I-I'm Hojo.
Who in the world are you?" she heard Hojo's soft
voice shoot back mildly.
"None of your damn
business! You stay the hell
away from Kagome, you hear me?"
As Hojo opened
his mouth to reply, Kagome found herself praying madly from behind Inuyasha. Don't say something stupid, just nod and walk
away. Don't say something stupid!
"I'm afraid that won't do at
all." Hojo said, his
voice that same mild tone as always. "I wouldn't want to miss our date
this Saturday." Kagome wanted to scream. You idiot!
"Date?" Inuyasha said in an odd
voice. "You and Kagome are planning to go to a...date?" Kagome
gulped. She promised herself that she would never try to educate or otherwise
teach Inuyasha ever again, just so long as he didn't
remember what she'd told him about dating. Please let him have been ignoring
her like usual that day. Hope died an unpleasant death as Inuyasha
whipped around and glared down at her.
"You. Were going on a date. With him."
"Well, actually, you see..."
"You were going on a date with him?
By yourself?" his breathing started to get heavy.
"Well, actually, you see..."
"YOU WERE GOING ON A DATE WITH
HIM?"
"Will you let me finish!" she
yelled.
"If I could interrupt for a
moment..." Hojo started to say from behind Inuyasha.
"SHUT UP!" Inuyasha
and Kagome both yelled at the same time. The girls watching stared in
shock and muttered to each other.
"Look at her, why is she yelling at Hojo, he's the one who's acting
rational." said Eri
"That's gotta
be the jealous boyfriend. Why the heck is he dressed like that? Man, he really does try to kill anyone who comes near her."
exclaimed Yuka.
"Wow, he's kinda
cute." said Ayumi. The other 2 glared at her for
a moment before looking back to the live soap opera in front of them.
Inuyasha and Kagome were still yelling at each other.
"What the hell is wrong with you, accepting gifts from strange men? I
swear, Kagome, you are NEVER coming back here alone again, if this is the type
of shit that happens! What do you think you’re doing? And who said you could go
on a date with some perverted boy! I can't believe you!"
"What? Inuyasha,
you are so…aargh…frustrating! I'll go on a date
with whoever I want to, whenever I want to, and you have nothing to say about
it! And Hojo is not perverted!"
"Nothing to say
about it! I have everything to
say about it!"
"Ha!" Kagome bit out, "In
your dreams."
Inuyasha bent his face down close to hers, glaring into her
eyes.
"I have everything to say about it
because I'm bigger than you, I'm stronger than you, and if any boy tries to do
this date thing with you, I will chop him up for sushi." he growled
quietly through clenched teeth. Kagome couldn't think of anything to say to
that and fumed at him. Oh, he was so dead when they got back to the feudal
era. He thought he was safe with his beads off? Ha! Wait
until she got a hold of those ears! She'd pull them right off his head! Inuyasha turned back around to Hojo,
who still stood there, confused as usual.
"What are you still doing here?"
Inuysahsa said rudely. Hojo
held himself stiffly but didn't back down.
"I haven't finished discussing the
details of my date with Kagome yet." Kagome's mouth hung open and she
heard her friends squealing.
"Oh, he's so brave!"
"Standing up to that bully that
way."
Does he have no sense of self-preservation?
Kagome thought, amazed.
"You haven't - There's not going to
BE any date, you dumbass! I thought I just told you
that." Inuyasha spit.
"Yes, I know you did, but Miss Higurashi has yet to..."
Inuyasha growled in frustration.
"Kagome doesn't have a damn thing to
say about this anymore. I’m telling you, there's not gonna
be a date! Now get outta here before I beat the shit
out of you, you moron."
Kagome gasped and smacked Inuyasha in the shoulder. "I'll go out with him if I
want to!" she said fiercely, conveniently forgetting her reservations of
just a few minutes before. He didn't even bother turning around.
"There's no way in hell this guy's
getting you alone somewhere, Kagome." he said over his shoulder.
"I'm sorry,
sir, but you have no say in this matter. It's a private matter between Higurashi and I, so I'll have to
ask you to, well, to mind your own business." Hojo
continued staunchly. Kagome's eyes got so wide she thought they would pop out
of her head. She knew Inuyasha wasn’t
going to kill her, but Hojo? He REALLY had no
sense of self-preservation.
"Hojo,
run!" she said quickly, grabbing onto the back of Inuyasha's
Haori as she did so.
"Excuse me?" he said, just
before Inuyasha's fist caught him in the jaw and sent
him sprawling, her present falling to the ground.
"Fucking
idiot." Inuyasha said, and turned to Kagome, “And what the hell is
up with warning that moron? You like him or something?”
“No! But he’s a friend, baka! You didn’t have to hit him so hard, you big
dummy!” she started going around him to head over to the unconscious boy and he
growled, grabbing Kagome's arm as he turned to go, dragging her behind him.
"I don’t want you hanging around this
stupid place anymore. We're going home." He said.
Kagome looked back to see the other
students heading over to Hojo to see what had happened.
Her three friends stood by his side for a moment, exchanging glances, and then
ran after her. Oh wow, they were going to try and help her? That was so...well,
that was really stupid actually, but she hadn't realized they were so loyal...
They stopped running as they caught up and
simply kept pace. Inuyasha glanced at them, not
even pausing. "What the hell do you three want?"
"Uh, well...we were just, uh,
wondering...Kagome, is this your boyfriend? " Eri blurted out, walking quickly to keep up with Inuyasha's pace.
"Whaaaat?"
Kagome said, in shock. THIS is why they'd followed them and left Hojo laying in the dirt?
Inuyasha turned as red as his shirt. He grunted once and
kept on going. Kagome’s face grew flushed as well as she stumbled, trying
to keep up with Inuyasha’s hold on her arm.
"This is him, yeah? The possessive
boyfriend?" asked Yuka, panting as she trotted next to them. Oh, let me
just die now, Kagome thought, not daring to look at Inuyasha's
face as he stopped dead.
"You mean Kagome actually has
a boyfriend?" he said slowly, looking over at them.
"Well, yeah. Isn't that you?" Ayumi asked, confused. He gave them a dark look and his
eyes shifted over to Kagome's red face.
"Who is he, Kagome?" he said,
growling low. She didn't say a word. "Tell me who he is, Kagome! It's the Hojo guy, isn't it? I'll..."
"No, it's not Hojo!"
she interrupted quickly. "Jeez, the poor guy just asked me on a date!
You've already knocked him unconscious, just leave him alone!"
“Then who is he?” he asked angrily. He
looked over at Eri, “You, tell me who he is!” he
demanded of her.
"Uh, I’ve never actually met him,"
Eri admitted, obviously flustered now that Inuyasha did not seem to be the infamous boyfriend.
“Well, what the hell do you know
about him?” he asked, scowling.
Noticeably intimidated, Eri stuttered. "Um, well, Kagome always said he was
selfish. And, uh, loud, rude, impatient,”
“And possessive!” Yuka interjected.
“Oh yeah, possessive. A real jerk.
He’s always getting mad at her if she’s even just a few minutes late… I’m
sorry, I just assumed…uh, I mean. " she stumbled
to a halt and gave a sheepish look at Kagome. Thanks a lot, Eri,
Kagome thought glumly, feeling Inuyasha's eyes bore
into the top of her head.
She tensed, just waiting for the outburst,
but Inuyasha simply clenched his jaw and started
walking again, dragging her along. When the girls started after them
again he turned and stared at them hard. “What, are you baby ducks? Quit
following us!”
They stopped, staring after them in shock,
and Kagome closed her eyes, sighing. Oh, it’s going to be a real
picnic trying to explain this later.
She’d stumbled about a block when the
explosion finally came. Inuyasha stopped,
releasing his grip on her arm to hold her by the shoulders. "Who were they
talking about, Kagome?” He growled softly. He’d just been pissed as hell until
they mentioned that this ‘boyfriend’ got angry if she was late. That
sounded so familiar that he hadn’t felt that he could speak at first, he was so
furious. “Are they talking about me? Or is there someone else who you insult
like that all the time?" Kagome winced, trying to think. Jeez, which was
better at this point, let him think there was another boy, or let him know that
HE was the boyfriend?
"Answer me, Kagome?” he ordered,
gripping her shoulders tighter, “Who is this guy?"
She sighed. He was perfectly capable of
going back to school and start busting heads until he found out what he wanted
to know, the idiot.
"It's you, stupid. They're talking
about you, okay?" He managed to look hurt, pleased, and angry at the same
time. As usual, anger soon took precedence.
"So I'm selfish and rude and loud, is
that it?" he asked.
"Well, yeah, a lot of times you are!
Like today!" she shot back. He stared at her, surprised. She didn't
even deny it, or apologize, or anything! Fine then, if that's what she
thought...
"Stupid idiot, like you know. Get
your ass in gear, we gotta get goin’."
he said, yanking his hands off her shoulders angrily to snag her by the wrist
again. He started walking so quickly she could barely keep up.
"Inuyasha,
will you slow down! I can’t walk this fast!"
"Too bad. I'm a rude jerk, remember, I don't care if you
can't keep up." he said, but she noticed he slowed just slightly anyway.
They walked for another block. He’d looked so sad there for a moment, before
he’d blown up. Had that hurt his feelings? She would have felt pretty awful if Inuyasha had said that stuff about her behind her back. Of
course, he usually just said it to her face, but still.
"Inuyasha."
"What." he said irritably.
"I'm sorry."
"Huh?" his grip loosened a bit
and he slowed down.
"I shouldn't have said those things
about you to the girls." She said, so quietly he wouldn't have heard her
if not for his demon ears. "We'd had a fight and I was angry at you
and...I still shouldn't have said those things." He gulped, letting go of
her arm completely, and walked next to her with his hands in his sleeves,
avoiding her searching look. He'd never admit it, but it had
hurt to know she disliked him that much.
"So, you don't think I'm a ..all those things you said."
"Well, sometimes, "
his ears drooped, "But you're also loyal, and brave, and you can be
awfully sweet, and you...you take care of me." His cheeks burst into
flames and he walked in silence for a few minutes.
"Why did you tell them I was your
boyfriend?"
Now it was her turn to blush.
"I didn't, not exactly...they just
kind of assumed, and I didn't think I should correct them and...well, it just kinda
happened." Jeez, she didn't want him to know that she thought of him like
that! That was the last thing she needed. He was possessive enough as it
was!
"Oh." So, she didn't really
think of him that way at all, it was just a misunderstanding. Which was just
fine, he thought. He wasn't expecting her to. Maybe sometimes she looked at him
a certain way and he thought that she felt something, but how deep could it
really be? He knew what humans thought of youkai and hanyou; Kikyou had made that very
clear. It was just that, sometimes... "Feh,
let's get home. We need to get back to the others" She nodded, and they
finished the walk to her house in silence.
Her mother smiled when they came in the
front door, asking them cheerfully how their walk home had been as she lightly
snatched Inuyasha's hat from his head.
"Fine." they both mumbled.
"Are you heading right out?" she
inquired.
"Yeah."
"No." Inuyasha
and Kagome looked at each other as they spoke, identical frowns growing as they
realized they’d disagreed.
"We're leaving right now, Kagome. Get
your things and let's go, it's taken too long here as
it is."
"No! I want to take a bath and have
some dinner and rest a minute before I go back to Feudal no-running-water-and-no-electricity
Japan!"
"Too bad! We're going, and that's final." He crossed his
arms and glared at her. Her mother came up and patted her shoulders.
"Maybe it would be best if you just
went along with it, dear. I can pack you some food to take with you, all
right?"
"But mom." Kagome protested. "How can you take his
side?" Her mom glanced at Inuyasha's smug face
and learned forward to whisper in Kagome’s ear.
"Well, you won the argument last
time, didn't you?" Kagome nodded slowly, remembering the last time he'd
come to get her and ended up Osuwari’d into the
garden until he'd let her stay. "No one in a couple should win all the
time, so why don't you let him have his way just this once?"
Kagome choked.
"Mom" she whispered back
fiercely, "we're NOT a couple.."
"Of course not, Sweetie." she
said in a reassuring voice. "I'll just go pack that dinner for you, shall
I?" Kagome turned and fumed all the way up the stairs into her bedroom.
Stupid Inuyasha, how could her own mother support him
over her like that? She dumped books and clothes into her bag and went
back down just in time to grab the container of food from her mother, barely
managing to stuff it in the top of her bag. Then she stomped to the front door.
"Well" she demanded as she
passed Inuyasha by the doorway. "Aren't you
coming? I thought we had to go right back." He nodded, feeling fairly
complacent now that he'd won, and followed her out.
Once they’d crossed over, Inuyasha jumped out of the well holding Kagome's backpack
as she climbed laboriously up the ivy. He tossed it to the ground only to watch
the clasp snick open and half the contents tumble to the ground. As soon as
Kagome climbed over the top of the well and saw it, she started yelling. "Inuyasha! Look what you did!
Now I'll have to pack it all up again! Can't you be more careful of my
stuff?" He snorted, and then watched her start to rearrange things inside
the pack as she tried to get everything to fit back in.
"What are those?" Inuyasha asked as she picked up some heavier items off the
grass.
"School books, what do they look
like?"
"Well, dump them back into the well.
It's not like you're going to need them, anyhow."
"I need them to study, dummy."
"No, you don't. You're not going back
there again, so you can just toss them." Kagome stared at him a moment.
"What do you mean, I'm not going back
there?" she said in a dangerous voice. He humphed.
"Just what I said. I don't want you going back there anymore. I told
you that when you left school today, remember?"
“What? What are you…wait. When you said you didn’t want me at that ‘stupid
place,’ you meant forever?”
“Duh.”
“Not duh! I don’t care if you want
me going back to school or not. I’m going!” she said hotly, and reached
up to smack him in the back of the head. He grabbed her arm before she
connected. What was it with him and that arm today! Jeez, she was going to have
a bruise the size of Tokyo
there soon if he didn’t cut it out!
"Kagome, I'm not letting you go back there anymore. Not to your school, and not to your home
either, if I don't feel like it." He added self-righteously.
Kagome looked at the hand on her upper
arm, starting to realize that he was serious. In horror, she realized that without
the beads on, he was quite capable of backing up his words. He was going to
keep her in the Feudal era? She looked up indignantly into his face.
"You can't do that!"
"Why not?"
"Because...I'd
never see Mom, or Souta, or Gramps again!" Did he look a little less determined? "And...no more Ramen! No more ninja snacks!" Okay, that did
it.
"Well, maybe you can go home
sometimes," he said grudgingly. "But no
school!"
"That's ridiculous! I have to go to
school."
"Feh, what the hell for? All it does is make you freak out every few weeks
when you have to take those tests."
"I have to go to school to get into
the university." she said slowly, talking to him like the idiot he was.
"If I don't get into the university, I can't get a job. And if I can't get
a job, I can't make money. And if I can't make money, I will NEVER be able to
buy ramen!" He didn't budge.
"Your mom can buy it."
"You idiot, she won't be around forever!"
"Then we'll do something different
about that later, but you are NOT going back to that damn school place, with
all those assholes trying to do dates with you and, and stuff." She stared
at him without speaking for a moment.
"This isn't about the jewel shards at
all, is it?"
"What do you mean?"
"Here I thought you were just being
impatient and stupid and selfish like you usually are..."
"Hey!"
"But you're jealous, aren't
you?" She said in a wondering tone.
"I am NOT jealous!" he spat out,
going pink in the ears.
"Are."
"NOT!"
"Why do you want me to stay out of
school so badly, then, huh?"
He sputtered a moment.
"It's a waste of time, and we need to
finish finding those jewel shards right away, which we can't do if you are
studying and screwing around with school all the time!"
She flushed, embarrassed to be wrong, and
scowled. "Too bad. If you don't let me go to
school, I won't help you find the jewel shards.”
"If you don't help us find the
shards, there's no way in hell you're going to school!" He yelled.
"Oh, so if I help, then I can go to
school?"
"Wha- I mean..NO, that's not what I said!
Crap, you are so damn irritating." He let go of her arm, crouched down,
and reached into her backpack. The rest of her school books started flying out
onto the ground
"Hey, stop that!" He ignored her
until her fingers formed claws and she went for his ears. He barely paused as
he reached out and grabbed both her wrists in one hand just before she touched
him.
"Don't touch the ears." He
growled out fiercely, turning his head briefly to glare at her before releasing
her hands and going back to the backpack.
"Don't dump out my books!" She
yelled at him, rubbing her wrists where he'd grabbed her. Ow.
"You don't need them anymore."
He insisted and grabbed the whole lot, throwing them down the well. He stood up
and wiped his hands together. “Ha, that takes care of that.”
"You...you bossy,
ignorant, toad! You go get them
back right! this! second!" She yelled in his
face. After his hair settled from the blast of her voice, he shook his head,
his hands tucked inside his sleeves.
"Never gonna
happen, Kagome. Live with it." He turned to walk back to Kaede's and heard her start to go over the well wall.
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked, looking back at her.
"I'm getting my books and I'm going
home!" she yelled as she jumped into the well, only to jerk to a stop in
midair as his arm grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back out onto the
grass. "Let me go, you stupid moron! I'm leaving!" He hadn't released
her waist yet and he pulled her back against him, leaning over to speak quietly
into her ear.
"You are an idiot," he said
fiercely. "I said you couldn't go back home. I said you couldn't go back to school. You are not
going back there unless I let you, and if you do go back, it's only for food or
family, Kagome. Don't go after those books, 'cause school is over!" She
pushed at his arm and tried to stomp down on his foot.
"Stupid...jerk...let me go!" she
growled. He growled back. How could she be so damned stubborn! It was
infuriating. She should be happy she wasn't going back to school,
all she did was get worried and scared about it, anyway. And there was no way
she was going to win, didn't she know that? Why was she still fighting?
"I won't let go until you promise not
to go down the well without me, Kagome." he said firmly.
"Don't hold your breath!"
"Fine, then. Be that way," he
muttered. He loosened his hold a moment to scoop her legs out from under her
with his other arm.
"We're going to Kaede's,"
he said, turning away from the well.
"Let me go!" She yelled, and
smacked him across the face. It didn't really do much to him, but the fact that
she'd done it...
"You are really pissing me off right
now, Kagome!" he said, wrestling with her a bit before clamping her arms
to her body while he held her. "There, that'll hold ya."
she struggled vainly for minute before giving up.
"You are not stopping me from going
back to school!" she said one last time.
"Yeah, right. Whatever." He muttered, starting to walk back
to Kaede's. As they went, he was starting to become
more aware of the feel of Kagome in his arms. A little soft in places, with
good, firm arms, and he could feel soft sleekness of her naked skin just above
the knees where his hand held her. He tried to ignore her fuming, but couldn't
help but glance at her out of the corner of his eyes. She still looked as angry
as he felt, but he saw an extra sheen in her eyes. Aw shit, not tears! He could
handle mad, that was no problem, especially without the prayer beads creaming
him all the time. But tears? He hated seeing her cry. It made him feel cruel and useless
and he hated knowing she was sad.
Couldn't she see that this was better? She
was always so worried about school she couldn’t even sleep. Even just dragging
those books around hurt her back, so why did she fight it this much? It wasn't good
for her. And all those males hanging around her? How
could she expect him to just ignore that, or let it happen when he wasn't even
around to defend what was his?
Uh...wait a sec...his?
He looked down at her directly for a
moment, eyes wide. Is that how he thought of her? She felt him staring and
glared up at him, just catching his eyes before he looked straight ahead again.
His? Did he really feel that way about her? He thought
about her being with someone else and felt his hackles rise immediately. Shit,
she was right, he WAS jealous! Didn't mean he was in the wrong, of course, he
thought, just...she shouldn't be with other boys when she belonged with him!
And how in the world did he deal with it, now that he knew? He couldn’t just
let her go back on her own. It was obvious that Hojo
character had designs on his Kagome. I mean, who wouldn’t? She was awfully
pretty. He looked down at her again, watching the blue glints to her hair as
the late afternoon sun hit it. She was stiff with anger, her scent spiky and
acrid with it, but he couldn’t help notice how soft the skin of her thigh was
under his fingertips, or the warmth of her body against his chest, or…
“Hey, what are you staring at, you jerk?”
Kagome bit out.
“Nothin’” he
muttered, looking forward again, and sighed as he continued to walk to Kaede’s.
