Misfortune Followed Us Home ch.3

 

Kagome groaned as sunlight filtered through the covering over her meager window.  She turned over pulling the covers over her head to block out the blinding morning light.  She felt Shippo burrow further into her chest as she slowly drifted off back to sleep.

“Wench.”

“Ugh.”

“Wench.”

“Ughhh.”

“Wench, get up,”

Kagome sat up blinking owlishly trying to orient herself.  Above her stood the same brash hanyou she had avoided in the forest last night.  He was looking down on her impatiently, tapping his bare foot on the tatami mat covering the wooden floor.

“Inuyasha,” she questioned as she stretched and yawned.  “What are you doing here?  How did you get in?  I had the boards over the opening,” she stood up walking to check, “Did you break them again?”

Kagome sighed pinching the bridge of her nose with one hand while the other rested on her hip as she looked at the mess of broken wood and shredded cloth that littered her common room.

“Inuyasha!”

He emerged from her room with not the slightest look of guilt upon his face.  “Look wench, if you didn’t put that crap on your door, I wouldn’t need to break them every time you decide to mess around.  I don’t have time to waste with you.  Come on, we have shikon no kakera to find!”

Her aura rose dangerously at that moment, swirling and crackling with her rising anger.  Shippo emerged from the bedroom, awoken by the sensation of her enraged aura rising.

“Okaa-san,” he called.  He rubbed his eyes and blinked off the offending sunlight before yawning and stretching.  He dropped his arms and slowly gazed at the scene around him.  When his eyes landed on Inuyasha, he made a soft noise of understanding before walking around the mess on the floor and retrieving some bread from the cabinet.  As he sat at the table he called out to Inuyasha, “Good luck Inu-baka,” he said with a laugh before taking a bite of the hunk of bread.

“Look you stupid runt, keep your nose outta my business. Don’t make me come over there,” Inuyasha replied.

“Inuyasha ,” Kagome yelled, “You will not lay one hand on him!”

“Keh, I’d like to see you stop me wench.”

Kagome turned glaring daggers at him, “Inuyasha, you will clean up this mess and then leave my home, when we are ready we will meet you at Kaede’s.”

“Keh, I ain’t cleaning up nothing wench, just hurry up we’re only waiting on you and that brat.”

“Inuyasha,” she growled.

His ear immediately clamped onto his head at her tone.  “Now Kagome, come on, I’m sorry.  You know I didn’t mean it.  We just have to leave as soon as possible.  I’ll just wait for you at Kaede’s,” he said as he backed out of the hut.

Kagome sighed and smiled, relief flooded through Inuyasha.

“Inuyasha,” she sighed out his name.

“Thanks Kago-“

“OSUWARI!”

And thus the hanyou met the dirt.
