~*~Chapter 20—Lovers’ Spat~*~


The next day, Kagome took Inuyasha on an outing. She made him wear jeans and another muscle shirt, as it suited him. The hardest part was in making him wear the socks and shoes. After five consecutive osuwaris and a groggy hanyou, she finally managed it.

He refused to leave the Tetsusaiga behind, as he was a hanyou again and could transform without the sword. She finally shrugged while thinking of the excuses she could tell other people about her mate wearing a katana.

They finally reached the train station, and Inuyasha is amazed.

“We’re going to ride in that…that big worm!?” The hanyou said in shock, his jaw opening.

“It’s not a worm, silly. That’s a train. It’s what we use for transportation. It’s really fast,” Kagome replied as she dragged Inuyasha along to the ticket booth. After paying for the passes, they crossed the line and waited for the other train to arrive.

“Hayai huh? Betcha I can rat,” t,” Inuyasha bragged.

Kagome’s laughing silently in her mind. It’s a bullet train—and she had a picture of her mate leaping and running to catch up with it, his tongue lolling down like a dog in exhaustion and getting redder in the face due to exertion. It is a funny thought…

“What are you smiling about, bitch?”

“Oh nothing, Inuyasha. The train’s here, let’s go,”

‘Saved by the bell. Whew,’ Kagome thought as she pulled the hanyou inside the train.

Inuyasha is having the time of his life while riding the train. He’s pressing his face to the glass as he looks out the window, making funny faces at his reflection. Kagome’s now sweat dropping, as several people turn to look at the young man acting like a kid.

‘They’re probably thinking Inuyasha’s one of those special children. And with a “toy” sword to match,’ Kagome thought as she suppressed the giggle wanting to escape her lips.

Finally, they arrive at their destination. Kagome clasped Inuyasha’s hands in hers as they walked around the big city, the hanyou getting dizzy by all the people and the different scents he’s smelling.

“Where are we going, Kagome?”

“To the mall, Inuyasha. I want to look at something—and I’ll treat you to one of the best ramen restos ever,” Kagome said enthusiastically.

~*~

At the mall, Kagome bought some more of Inuyasha’s things, with the hanyou looking around him in confusion. Yeah, he’s been here before with Kagome—and he never liked it.

“Aren’t you finished yet, Kagome?” Inuyasha said as he fidegets in the chair he’s sitting on while waiting for her. Already, five big bags are on his feet. And the woman’s not yet satisfied!

“Just a little bit more, Inuyasha,” Kagome said as she looked at the selections in front of her.

“Keh! Why do you have to buy all these things? It’s not as if I need it back home,” The hanyou said in annoyance.

“I’m not shopping anymore for you, baka! I’m shopping for my clothes now. But it would really tickle me if I see you wear these short skirts,” Kagome said as she laughs.

“Tickle you huh? Just wait ‘till I get you alone,” Inuyasha mumbles under his breath.

“What was that, Inuyasha-kun?”

“Keh! Nothing! And who told you you’re going to buy short skirts? You have enough, for the love of Gods. I don’t like other men seeing your legs, so I forbid you to wear them,” Inuyasha said authoratively as he lumbered next to her, heavy bags in hands.

“YOU FORBID ME!?” Kagome can’t help the high tone of her voice. As several customers turned their heads to look at them speculatively, she lowered her voice.

“What do you mean you forbid me?”

“Keh! Just that, bitch. I’M your mate now, and I have a say in everything you do. Including the clothes you wear,” The hanyou said smugly, crossing his arms loaded with bags across his chest.

How he managed that feat, I have no idea…

“We’ll see about that!” Kagome said as she gritted her teeth in her anger. She looks in stupefied disbelief as her “mate” proceeded to choose the clothes she would wear.

And all of them are yukatas and kimonos…

She stomps off, leaving the hanyou still choosing the designs for her kimonos. Inuyasha finally noticed that Kagome’s not on his side anymore, and also leaves the shop, following her scent.

He catches up with her, holding her arms in a tight grip so she can’t escape him.

“Let me go,”

“No. What was that aboutbout?”

“I really don’t want to talk about it now as I’m so pissed at you,” Kagome said in a VERY controlled voice, masking her fury.

The hanyou refused to leave her alone, and looks around for somewhere they could be alone for this discussion. Realizing there’s no such place in the mall, he drags her outside and heads for the park he remembers they went to.

~*~

At the park, the miko stood with her back to her mate. She’s rigid with her fury, and she’s afraid of talking to him lest she lashes out at him.

“Kagome? Why are you so angry?” Inuyasha asks her as he steps forward to move behind her.

“Why do you think?”

“Is it about the clothes? They’re just clothes, for the love of Gods. I just—“ Inuyasha is cut off by Kagome now facing him, her eyes now heavy with sadness.

“Just clothes huh, Inuyasha? If they’re just clothes, then why don’t you want me to wear what I like? Why do I have to wear something that doesn’t seem right to me? I come from the future, Inuyasha-kun. What I wear is a reminder of who I am, just as my mother said before. Or do you want me to be like Kikyou? Why don’t I just wear her clothes then?”

Inuyasha reacted as though he’s been slapped. His head jerked back, his face showing hurt and anger at the same time. He grabs her wrists in a grip she was sure would leave bruises, and leans down until his face is right in front of hers.

“You think this is about Kikyou!? For God’s sake, Kagome! YOU’RE my mate—the one I chose to bear my mark. I knew what I was doing when I made you mine—and I knew who the hell I was making love to at the time. If you think—“ Inuyasha breaks off, his own voice shattering.

“If you think that I still think of you as Kikyou’s substitute, then you can never be more wrong,” Inuyasha said tiredly, not knowing how to convince her anymore. He let her go and took a step back, looking at the fading sunset.

‘She won’t let me say I love her. I try and show her but she won’t believe me. Fuck!’

Kagome now had tears brimming on her eyes. She knew what she thought is wrong, but still… when he picked out all of those yukatas for her; she couldn’t help but think of Kikyou.

This insecurity she had of Kikyou is something irrational and something uncalled for. SHE chose this—not the other way around. And she realized she’s not making it any easier for her hanyou.

She launched herself at him, his arms automatically going around her slim form. She buried her face in his neck, allowing his scent to calm her.

“Gomen nasai, Inuyasha. The things I said were unfair. You don’t deserve them. I’m sorry for acting so childishly about all these—it’s just that…” Kagome bit on her lower lip.

“Don’t cry, Kagome. I hate it when you cry,”

“I’m not going to cry, baka. I just want to explain. I will always be a little bit jealous of Kikyou, Inuyasha. For what she meant to you and for what you were willing to give up on her behalf. But I also know that… I mean so much more to you and that if you could, you would probably give me more than you can give her. And that gives me all the reassurance I need,” Kagome whispered as she pulled his mouth down on hers for a sweet kiss.

Inuyasha pulled back, amber eyes searching hers.

“Well, I guess that makes our sixth day together,” Inuyasha said with a sigh.

“Nope. This is only the beginning,”

~*~

She took him to the amusement park. Everything is glowing, the lights bright and colorful all around them. The hanyou is looking around him in awe, having never seen anything like it.

Kagome tugged Inuyasha to the games booth, determined to make her hanyou win her anything. He ended up winning her more than she expected—and they were both swamped by stuffed toys, candies, chocolates and all the mundane things to be won there. The hanyou is really enjoying his self, showiis sis strength off to his bitch. She’s alternately laughing and smiling in delight as she saw his reactions to every game he won.

“Having fun?”

“Yeah. Your games are easy here, nothing challenging for me,”

“Show-off!” Kagome hit Inuyasha on his shoulder.

“How about going on some of the rides?” Kagome asked as she pulled Inuyasha to a roller coaster booth.

“Another worm? Oh come on. And it’s smaller too,” Inuyasha said arrogantly.

“You won’t think so later. That’s much faster than the train we rode,” Kagome said with a giggle as she bought them tickets and waited in line for their turn.

They were finally allowed to ride. They found their seats and sat down as the safety procedures began.

“What’s this?” Inuyasha asks Kagome as the airtight safety vest is pulled down on them.

“That’s so you can’t escape,” Kagome said jokingly to Inuyasha as he attempted to pull it off.

“Dame, Inuyasha. That’s needed here so you won’t fall as we go over the loop there. And besides, a little more force and you can probably tear it off,” Kagome admonished Inuyasha as the coaster is brought to life.

“Hang tight!” Kagome squealed as it began to pick up speed.

The hanyou did hold on to dear life, one hand clenching the vest in a vise and the other clutching Kagome’s hands in a death grip. His ears are beginning to ring from all the screaming abuse he’s getting, especially from his mate. The coaster went faster, spinning them around the three loops before hanging for a few seconds on the high end. This causes a ripple of excitement and tension through the crowd, as they knew what’s going to happen next.

Inuyasha felt the wind rushing through his face and felt it deform it as the coaster plunged back down in a backward pace. He strained from opening his mouth and letting out a scream of his own, just like his Kagome is doing. So he contented himself on feeling the rushze tze through him, like the elation he felt whenever he ran to his full speed, the scenery below and the height they were at making him dizzy and excited all at once. Moments later, he’s laughing like an idiot while all the people is screaming all around him.

The ride finally went on an end. Kagome’s now with a non-stalkialking and laughing Inuyasha, begging to ride the coaster again.

“Stop, Inuyasha! I’m still dizzy over the last ride. How can you not be?” Kagome groaned as her mate pulled her towards the ticket booth once again.

“It’s amazing, Kagome! It’s like flying, you know? I want to ride again! Please? Please?” Inuyasha now turned on his puppy eyes at her.

And how can she refuse him, looking like that?

After six more turns at the coaster and with a now green Kagome, Inuyasha’s finally appeased. They stopped to buy something to eat at Wacld’sld’s, the fast-food resto Kagome and her friends like to hang out at. And Inuyasha reallked ked the fries. He ordered four large bags of them!

“I’m going to be a pauper if I let you live here, Inuyasha-kun,” Kagome sighs in complain to her hanyou.

“Now I do love something else than ramen,” Inuyasha winks as he grins at her before eating all of the fries.

They sat on a bench just outside the amusement park, with a fountain on the center. The fireworks are now beginning to explode all around them, illuminating the skies above.

“Suteki ne, Inuyasha?” Kagome asks her mate as she gazes up at the heavens.

“Yeah. Beautiful,” Inuyasha says as he continues to look at his mate’s face, not bothering to look at the exploding lights above.

He pulled her to his lap, her head resting on his shoulder as he wraps his arms about her before finding her lips.

And so sta stay like that, drinking in the sight before them, watching until the last light burned out…


~*~Finally, they fight about Kikyou. *sigh* The reason why I had a mental block was because I was really thinking hard of how to pull this off and of putting this up as a chappy. Well, I hope you guys enjoy this one and feedbacks are always welcome, okay? Thanx for reading! tc~*~
