Real Illusions

a.n// Finally- I get around to writing an Inuyasha fanfiction. I've been watching the show for freakin' ever, but never got around to actually working on a story. Well, all I can say is I hope my information is correct because sometimes even the most avid fans forget. ;)
Disclaimer: Don't' own Inuyasha (unfortunately), don't own Kagome (I really don't care), and my other characters own themselves. O.o

"How the hell did the freakin' well collapse?!"
"I told you, Inuyasha, the shed, as the well, are old. Give it a good reason not to fall!"
"Feh," the white-haired hanyou mumbled, not wanting to get into a fight already with Kagome. He needed a place to stay if he was going to be stuck here.
Kagome shook her head as she looked down at the rubble. She had to admit- it was a little odd that the well and shed collapsed without no apparent reason, save that it was old. Now, she was bound with an angry half-demon and his bad attitude.
"Inuyasha, you do realize that you're going to have to stay at my house for the time being, don't you? So, stop making this harder on yourself...and me," Kagome said, flipping her hair, and starting inside the house.
"It's not like I wanna stay with you!" he called back to her, clenching his fists.
"SIT!"
***
As night fell, Inuyasha took perch out of Kagome's door, a pillow in hand. Kagome's mother had told him he had to stay in Kagome's room if he was going to be staying for awhile and might as well be comfortable, so she sent him off with a pillow.
"Kagome! Open up! I have specific orders from your mother!" Inuyasha said, pounding on the door.
"I'm changing, Inuyasha! Can't I have some privacy around here?!"
"I don't give a damn. I'm coming in whether you're dressed or not!" he exclaimed, and with that, he pushed the door open with his demon strength.
"Sit, boy!" Kagome yelled, before he could see anything, and as he lay face down on the floor, she pulled her pajama shirt over her head.
"Oww... damnit..."
"Teaches you right, you peeping Tom!" Kagome huffed, towering over him.
Suddenly, a clawed hand reached out and grabbed Kagome's ankle, pulling her down the floor. She somehow ended up in Inuyasha's lap, with him smirking down at her.
"Teaches _you_ right for calling me a peeping Tom. And for making me sit."
Kagome rolled her eyes, but could feel her face getting red. She was _sitting_ in Inuyasha's _lap_!
Inuyasha leaned back casually on his hands, looking up at the ceiling.
"Kagome?"
"...yeah?"
"I'm getting the bed."
"...No! No, you're not! You can sleep on the floor, got it? But, for now while I study, you can _sit_ on the bed, okay?" Kagome said, scrambling to her feet, just in case her mother would happen to walk in. Instead, she sat at her desk and got started on her Geometry homework.
Inuyasha surprisingly obeyed and sat on her Kagome's bed, Indian-style, watching her intently as she worked.
He caught her scent of sweet fruit, intoxicating his sensitive nostrils. Her long, dark hair cascaded in slight waves down her slender back as the desk lamp reflected off her fair skin and lighting her chocolate eyes.
The half-demon fought the urge to grab Kagome and mark her as his own, something that all demons did with their mates to make sure no one else could have her. But...no. She was but a human. Another human... waiting to break his heart.
"Inuyasha? Are you listening to me?"
"....Eh," Inuyasha quickly came to his senses to face an irritated Kagome. "...No."
Kagome rolled her eyes, "I _said_ that you're coming to school with me after the weekend."
"School... SCHOOL?! No way! I ain't goin' to no school! Are you crazy, woman?" Inuyasha exclaimed, jumping off the bed.
"I am NOT crazy. If I left you here by yourself, there's no telling what you might do! There's so many things you don't know about this world and you could get hurt if you're not careful! Especially with electronics!"
"What the hell are 'electronics'???"
"SEE!" Kagome screeched, swiveling around in her chair, "You are most _definitely_ coming with me to school. Not ONE MORE word about it, or I'll have you 'sitting' for weeks!"
"Feh! Fine! I'll go along with your little thing, but don't expect me to change my appearance or anything!" the hanyou replied, throwing himself back onto the bed.
"Hmm... yes, your appearance may cause a problem, especially with the girls, so we'll have to do something..."
"With the girls? What's that mean, Kagome?!"
"Never mind that," Kagome recovered quickly, turning red, "I have an idea. You can be my boyfriend from a foreign country or something!"
"YOUR boyfriend??? I don't know about this... you might try something," Inuyasha said, slyly.
Kagome gasped and turned red, "No, I wouldn't! Get your head out of the gutter, Inuyasha!"
The white-haired guy chuckled and looked at the ceiling, "I'll go along with it, Kagome, but if you try anything..."
"Inuyasha!"
"I'm kidding, geez! Although, I get to pick out what I wear and I am not changing my hair color. Got it?" Inuyasha demanded, staring Kagome in the eye.
"Got it. Tomorrow, we'll go to the mall."
"...what's a mall?"
***
The mall was jammed pack with people. The usual weekend rush. The not-so- usual attendance of a half-demon with a teenage girl.
The couple headed to the top floor, for that's where most of the men's stores were placed, and Kagome's favorite store, the Gift Shop.
Inuyasha picked and poked at various things along the way. He shuddered at the lingerie, was intoxicated by the fragrances, chuckled at the kids tugging at their mother's leg, and sniffed hungrily at the food court.
"Hey... this is a pretty cool place," he admitted, looking at some shirts in a window.
"I know," Kagome replied, happily, "It's about my favorite place in the world. But I haven't been in so long 'cause I've been in the Feudal Era... Ahh! Those are some of my friends from school!"
"Where?"
"Over there- in the food court. Com'on, I have to go talk to them about something," Kagome explained, looking down at Inuyasha's hand. "...Hold my hand. You have to."
"What?! Why do I got to?"
"Because! You're supposed to be my _boyfriend_, Inuyasha! It's what we do here, okay? Please- my friends will be asking."
Quickly, Inuyasha grabbed her hand and entwined his fingers through hers. He held a firm grip on her hand, but was careful not to claw her.
"There. You happy?"
Oh, Kagome was happy. VERY happy. Her heart was pounding so loudly that she would have thought Inuyasha would have heard. But he paid no attention to her or her friends; his eyes were on the food.
"Kagome!" a girl with long straight hair cried, waving.
"Hey, Jaka!... Hi, Konotori!" Kagome smiled, coming over to the table with a hungry Inuyasha in tow.
"Who's your cute friend, Kagome?" Konotori asked, curiously, staring at Inuyasha.
"This is my boyfriend, Inuyasha. He's not from around here," Kagome proclaimed, almost protectively.
Inuyasha feigned a glance towards Kagome's friends. They both weren't bad looking, but Kagome beat both of them in his eyes.
"Hey."
"...doesn't talk much, does he? And what is he wearing?!" Jaka snorted, "But he sure is good looking!"
Inuyasha thought he felt a blush come to his cheeks, but fought it down for his and Kagome's sake; she looked as if she was going to strangle Jaka.
"We have to be going now. Good-bye," Kagome said, nonchalantly, twirling on her heel and pulling Inuyasha along with her.
"What was that about, Kagome?" the hanyou wondered, innocently.
"Nothing..." Kagome tried to hold her tongue, but the words stumbled out, "...Did you see how she was flirting shamelessly with you?! My god!"
Inuyasha was slightly surprised at how much Kagome cared about what her friends thought of him. Maybe this boyfriend thing would be easy, after all.
"I don't find either of them attractive. You pick out the ugliest friends, Kagome," Inuyasha retorted, but squeezed Kagome's hand tighter.
Kagome smiled, "...Thanks, Inuyasha."
