InuYasha The Movie 8 Samantha Stretch
Finding Your Family
"I'll always be watching over you." Shikata told her brothers as she departed to the
next world. She had been so perfect. Strong, beautiful, social yet independent. Her clouded
figure stood before InuYasha when he was suddenly shaken and jarred awake.
"What the...?" He said as he shot upward. It had all been a dream. An illusion created
by his memories only to haunt him for the rest of his life.
"Hey, InuYasha, are you okay? You're covered in sweat and you were tossing and
turning in your sleep." The girl who had shaken him said. It was Kagome. Which was no
surprise to InuYasha.
"I was. Oh, I hadn't realized. Sorry Kagome. I was just... aw, nevermind. It's not
important." He told the girl. Though he had a feeling she would press the matter.
"You were dreaming about Shikata, weren't you?" She asked, her voice filled with
concern.
"Was it that obvious?" InuYasha asked.
"Not really. I just kinda figured."
"Oh, well, yeah. I was."
"Do you want to talk about it? That's always helped me."
"Nothin' much to talk about. Just a repeat of what she said to me before she..." His
voice trailed off. The thought was still too close for him to talk about. This Kagome realized and
she slid to the edge where the floor stepped down. She was sleeping on the higher step while
InuYasha slept on the lower level.
"I know." Kagome answered in a gentle, reasuring tone. "Here, come up with me."
InuYasha looked up at her as if she was crazy. She'd never offered anything like that
before. He wasn't used to such a kind gesture. But when Kagome held her hand out for
InuYasha to take, he gently took it in his own and pulled himself to his feet. Then softly sat
down next to her, crossing one leg as the other dangled over the edge to rest on the floor. He
then put both hands, palms down, backwards, behind himself on Kagome's 'sleeping bag' as
she called it.
"Alright, I'm up here. Now what?" InuYasha asked in a saddened, low tone. He kept
his head depressedly down, staring at his feet.
"Stop it!" Kagome suddenly said with a bit more vigor. This startled InuYasha and he
quickly turned to stare at her.
"Stop what?!"
"Acting so depressed all the time!"
"Well I'm sorry if it bothers you that the reality in which I lose everything I love happens
to depress me a little!" He said angrily.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked more calmly.
"I mean, when I come to love something it's never long before somehow, it's taken
away from me."
"InuYasha, how can you say that?"
"Think about it. I lost my father before I even knew him, then my mother. Now I've lost
Shikata twice, and of coarse there was Kikyo which I'm not even gonna explain again! I lose
everyone I love and everyone who loves me pays for it with their lives! It's like I'm cursed or
something."
"Oh yeah, well what about me? Don't I count?" Now InuYasha was looking at Kagome
wide-eyed. Was she admitting that she was in love with him?
"Wh.. what do you mean?"
"I love you. Am I just doomed to die for loving you?" She turned away as tears whelled
up in her eyes. InuYasha just sat there and stared at her for a moment. Was he losing his mind?
Had he heard wrong?
No. Kagome really had just admitted she loved him. Now what was he supposed to
do? They sat in silence until InuYasha heard Kagome trying to hold back tears with what
sounded like little success.
"Kagome..." He said gently. Then, placing his hands on her shoulders, he slowly ran
them down her arms till they came to rest at her waist. This seemed to quel her tears. He
wrapped his arms around her stomach and, pulling her body close to his chest, lightly kissed
her cheek. They sat only seconds after, their heads pressed closely together, InuYasha's chin
resting on Kagome's shoulder, before her tears were released once more. Cascading down
her cheeks and falling to land on InuYasha's hands.
"InuYasha, I..." Kagome began to say but InuYasha put his hand to her mouth,
silencing her.
"Shh..." He hushed as he pressed his nose into her cheek and rubbed it up and down
gently. "It's all right. You don't need to cry anymore. I'm right here. And I won't ever let anything
happen to you." He whispered into her ear. Then licked her neck before softly nibbling on the
thin flesh of her earlobe.
At first Kagome was startled by this sudden act of love from her protector. But then
thoughts of the times they'd spent together floated to the front of her mind. In mere seconds
she had replayed everything from when they had met, to the many fights they'd had, to the
times when InuYasha had been there for her and acted like a true friend. Suddenly the tears
began to threaten their escape again.
"Oh, InuYasha!" She cried as she flung herself into his arms and buried her face
in his shoulder. There, she cried.
"Hey, stop with the tears. You'll just make your eyes all red and puffy." InuYasha
told her. He left one arm on the small of her back and moved the other so it rested softly on the
back of her hair. Then he kissed the top of her head and laid his chin in that same place.
As they sat in each others arms Kagome's crying slowly ceased. She had never felt
so happy in her life. Being held tightly by InuYasha felt so right. So, warm. She used the back
of her hand to wipe away the residing, stubborn tears before gazing up at InuYasha. Their eyes
meeting only briefly before she was pulled into a long, light, gentle kiss. This time their lips
pressed tightly together.
As Kagome wrapped her arms around InuYasha's neck he slowly tucked his hands
under her shirt and, gripping the hem, began to slowly pull it up. He released Kagome from
their lip-lock in order to pull the shirt completely off. She willingly lifted her arms to allow him to
do this easily. Though when he had finished and tossed her shirt aside she stared into his
eyes with a confused and bewildered expression. He slowly moved his hands back to their
original position at her waist.
Then, her arms against his chest and his nose next to hers, he asked in the softest
tone, "Kagome, do you love me?"
"Of coarse I do." She answered in the same soft, sweet tone.
"Forever?"
"Of coarse."
"You promise you'll never leave me?"
"I could never do that. I love you too much."
"Then I'll just ask straight out. Kagome?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to be my mate?"
"Yes." With that InuYasha lowered his head so his mouth was level with the bottom of
her neck on the left side.
"Are you ready? This will make you immortal as long as I'm alive."
"Yes. Go ahead." InuYasha licked his lips before biting into the soft flesh of Kagome's
neck. He had been trying to be gentle with her but when she pushed harder he bit harder.
When he released her there was an imprintation of his fangs on her neck. They looked into
each others eyes again before removing the rest of their clothes.
They manuvered themselves so they sat up in Kagome's sleeping bag. InuYasha
replaced his hand on the small of her back and slowly pushed her down so she was on her
back. He then climbed up on top of her and slowly began sliding into his woman. When she
began to act hesitant he lowered his head and whispered in her ear.
"Don't worry. I'll be as slow and gentle as possible." He told his lover, stroking her
hair as he spoke.
"Thank you." She told him. But as his penis moved into her there was no way to
avoid the sudden, intense pain. Their lips had been moving a mile-a-minute and she
immediately turned her head to the side, her eyes tightly closed as she winced.
"Shhh..." InuYasha whispered in her ear. "Kagome, why did you...?" He trailed off and
Kagome slowly looked up at her lover, trying to see what had caused his reaction. She realized
he was staring at her with a puzzled, amazed, and bewildered expression.
"InuYasha, what's wrong?" She managed to say. The pain had her almost in tears
but she knew this was what he wanted. She wasn't about to tell him how much it hurt. He'd pull
back for sure if she did.
"Kagome... y... you're still a virgin, aren't you?" He asked hesitantly.
"Yeah. Of coarse. Why wouldn't I be? I'm only fifteen."
"Well... I mean... you're so beautiful. I just figured you'd been with other men. I thought
you'd have had sex before."
"No. I've never been with another man before you. A couple dates that haven't led
anywhere."
"Oh Kagome, I wish you'd told me that. If I'd known you were still a virgin I wouldn't
have pushed you into this." When InuYasha saw the confused look in the girls eyes he
propped himself up on his hands and went on. "I figured since you'd probably already had sex
it wouldn't make any difference. I swear I never had any intention of taking your virginity." With
that he began pulling himself up off of Kagome. That is, before she reached out and grasped
his arm to stop him.
"Wait. I thought you knew I was a virgin. That's why I didn't tell you. But I don't see
how this changes anything."
"Kagome, I can't take your virginity! That's supposed to be an honor saved for the
man you want to spend the rest of your life with!"
"I know!" Kagome almost yelled. "I let you get this far didn't I? If I hadn't wanted you
to be the first from the start we wouldn't be here right now. I want you to be the one who takes
my virginity. You're the only man I've ever trusted outside my family. I love you. And I want to
spend the rest of my life with you."
"Kagome."
"Look. The pain's gone now. So don't be such a worrywart." She moved one hand onto
InuYasha's side and the other onto his cheek. Then, looking straight up into his amber-gold
eyes, pulled him down onto her body once more and held him in a long, sensual kiss.
InuYasha's hands moved up and down Kagome's sides just as hers moved from his
cheeks to his chest. Their lips coming together only for a short time before seperating and
quickly coming together again.
"InuYasha... are you going easy on me?" Kagome asked between breaths and
kisses.
"Mmm... yes." InuYasha replied. His lips still half linked with hers.
"Don't." She told him, and he stopped dead.
"Kagome... are you sure?"
'Yes' was all she had time to say before his lips linked with hers again.This time
holding fast to their position. Kagome had just wrapped her arms around InuYasha's neck and
pulled him into an intense deep kiss, using as much tongue as possible, when he began
thrusting himself in and out of her as fast as he could. He was forced to buck his hips due to
the odd position in the sleeping bag. Kagome felt they must have continued this for hours
before InuYasha seemed to finally tire out and retract himself.
Propped on his hands again InuYasha bent down and kissed his woman one more
time before taking her head in one of his hands and, using the other for leverage, pulled
himself closer to Kagome's upper body. She slid herself down the rest of the way until his
penis came in contact with her mouth. She willingly opened and allowed it to enter. His
erection slowing slightly.
As it worked its way to the back of her throat she was put into a kind of trance. She
closed her eyes and even as it moved she sucked and licked at it. Almost treating it like a
popsicle. When the semen began sliding down her throat she sucked harder. Her hands, now
on InuYasha's hips, slowly moved to his butt and she pulled him further into her mouth.
Wondering how far his penis would go before it couldn't anymore.
It was all over in moments. InuYasha fell with a thud next to Kagome, heaving with
every breath. He was exhausted. His chest came up as high as possible with each inhale and
deflated the same way with each exhale. Both were out of breath. When their eraticated
breathing finally ceased and returned to normal, Kagome spoke.
"Wow!"
"I know." He told her and he rolled to his side, wrapping his arms around her
stomach. There, in that position, they fell fast asleep.
The next morning Kagome awoke to no one. InuYasha was nowhere in sight. She
hastily dressed and began looking everywhere for him. When she was sure she'd searched the
entire house she became worried.
"Where could he be?" Then, as if on cue, InuYasha strolled into the room. He
wrapped his arms around his wife, pulling her against his chest, kissing her cheek lightly.
"Oh, there you are."
"Sorry. I meant to get back before you woke up. I was talking with the others." He
wandered over and picked up her backpack. "Come on, let's go."
"Go? Go where?" Kagome asked him. As she said this InuYasha got a slight grin on
his face.
"I spoke with Kaede and the others. There's some new demon who supposedly has
one of the last shards of the jewel. Calls himself Keitoru according to her. She never told you
that?"
"No. I've been with you since we got back here."
"Oh, right. Well, ya comin'?" InuYasha asked. He meandered over to the door and
turned around, holding out his hand for Kagome to take in hers.
"Sure." She said as she took his outstretched hand willingly. They walked hand in
hand outside to where Miroku, Sango, Shippo, Jaken, Rin, Ritoku, and Sesshomaru awaited
their arrival.
"Alright, let's leave now so we can finish this guy off quickly." Miroku said when they
were in earshot.
"Good idea. I'm ready for a little rest and relaxation after this." InuYasha said. They
had Sesshomaru lead the way because he knew how to get there. This Keitoru guy was
supposedly in the Western lands, AKA Lord Sesshomaru's domain. He and Ritoku wanted to
hurry in order to protect their turf. The others only wanted this to be over as soon as possible.
They traveled in silence through the dense forests until they came to the border of the Western
lands.
"How are we ever gonna find this guy?" Shippo asked in a whiny tone. It was a baren
wasteland of huge, rolling hills that went on for miles. They simply stood on the hill and stared
out over the lands for a long time before Ritoku spoke.
"It won't be as hard as you think to find him. Sesshomaru knows these lands like the
back of his hand. If anything is out of place, he'll be able to track the trail. Also, his hearing is so
acute that even the slightest sound will alert him that someone is near." She told the group as
they descended the hill and began the next leg of their journey.
"This is still gonna take forever." InuYasha leaned over and whispered in Kagome's
ear. She couldn't help but giggle a bit, trying to stifle it but the sound still escaping her as more
of a snort. Sesshomaru looked over his shoulder and gave her an irritated stare. The others
looked at the two like they were crazy. She used her elbow to jab InuYasha in the stomach.
"Ahh... hey, you come here." He whispered angrily at her.
"What?" Kagome said in surprise as InuYasha picked her up bridal style.
"Now I've got you." He added as he turned her around so she was facing him and
flung her half over his shoulder like a bag. Sango and Miroku were behind them and gave her
a curious look.
"Well, I suppose it's better then walking." She told them. That got them all going in
stifled giggles. Ritoku looked back at them and smiled. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and
stopped.
"Would you guys stop fooling around? I can't hear with you making so much noise."
He scolded them.
"Sorrryyy." InuYasha said in a snotty kind of way.
"Hmph." Sesshomaru turned around and continued walking.
"Oh, go easy on them. They're only trying to liven things up a bit and have some fun."
Ritoku told him.
"They can have fun after we've defeated the demon." He said coldly and marched off on
his way. Ritoku shook her head but followed. No matter how much of an ass he could be, she
still loved him and couldn't just leave. She had a hard enough time trying to get mad at him
enough in order to discipline him.
They eventually came to a small lake and set up the picnic blankets to have a bite to
eat and rest a while. Kagome, Sango, and Ritoku sat and chatted while the others ate.
"Does Miroku look tired to either of you?" Sango asked. She'd been glancing over
towards him constantly.
"Maybe a little. Why?" Kagome asked. Just then she saw the monk yawn and continue
to chat amongst the men.
"Well. You know we sleep in the same room in Kaede's village right?"
"Yeah, so. Why would that make him any more tired? You've always done that."
"Well... its been fine all the other times. One good slap usually sets him straight for the
night. But last night he came in and didn't grab my ass. Instead he sat down behind me and
placed his hands on my shoulders. He kind of massaged them for a minute before he put his
arms around my waist, pulled me close to his chest, and laid his cheek against my shoulder."
...Flashback...
"Miroku, what are you doing?" Sango asked the monk. She felt his head lift from her
shoulder before he spoke.
"I thought maybe if I switched tactics my new intentions would come across better." He
leaned forward and lightly kissed her cheek, licking it as he pulled away. Sango's eyes
widened as she turned around in Miroku's arms.
"What do you mean 'new intentions'?" She insisted. He was scaring her a tad.
"I mean I don't just want you because I'm some letchurous monk and there's a
prospect for you to bear my children anymore. I want you because I'm falling in love with you."
"What?" Sango asked, slamming her eyes shut. They were dry and hurt from having
been open so wide for as long as they had been.
"I love you." Miroku said calmly. He pulled Sango closer, leaning forward himself,
and kissed her lips with such force that she immediately opened her mouth so his tongue
could enter.
As his tongue moved over hers, then under, then all around her mouth, her eyes rolled
back. Without even thinking she took hold of his robes and began peeling them away, layer by
layer. He took note of this and performed the same act on her.
When they finally had each others clothes off Miroku gently took hold of Sango and
laid her on her back. Moving with her until she was trapped. His body pinning hers to the floor.
They attacked each others lips. His hand moving slowly down her side as hers moved slowly
up his. Sango's hand came to rest on the back of Miroku's head just as his came to rest on her
ass.
"Hm, you never change." She managed to say before attacking his lips again. The same
scene continued on for quite some time. The only change being the position of Sango's right
hand and Miroku's left. Sango felt like she was in heaven. Since Miroku was a letchure he knew
how to do things she could never have thought of in her wildest fantasies. She never wanted
this to end.
Suddenly her lover lifted her up off the floor and flipped her over so now she was on
top. She stared down at him, both hands now resting on his chest. A confused expression on
her face. This Miroku realized for he soon spoke.
"You know what Sango? I hope you don't get pregnant."
"What? I thought that's what you wanted?"
"It was. But now that I think of it, I'd rather spend more time as a couple with you."
Sango's eyes grew wide once more. She stared down at the monk. He'd always asked
every girl he had come across to 'bear his children.' Now all of a sudden he wanted more than
that. He wanted love, not just sex.
... End Flashback ...
"He actually wanted to wait to get you pregnant!" Kagome exclaimed in a muffled tone so
the boys wouldn't hear her.
"Hmm, oh, yeah." Sango replied as she was thrown out of her daydream and back into
reality.
"Wow. He must really love you." Ritoku said, glancing over at the monk. But
Sesshomaru caught her eye and gave her an adoring look that made her blush. The other girls
looked at her in a way that forced her to spill the truth. It turned out she'd had some excitement
the night before aswell.
... Flashback ...
"Hey Sesshomaru." Ritoku said to her mate as he entered the room they were staying
in. She was stretched out across a blanket with her shirt off. It was a hot night and she knew it
would please her lover. He strolled over to the opposite side his woman was on and removed
the heavy armor encasing his chest.
He gave a wry smile as he removed the rest of his clothes. Ritoku did the same and
Sesshomaru came down on top of her with a violent thrust. This she was used to though. It
was the same almost every night since she had met him. It started with tongue, moved to
thrusts, then ended with Sesshomaru completely out of breath having nearly killed himself just
to please her. And if she didn't seem satisfied, he kept going if she'd allow it. His tongue had
just grazed her neck when she was knocked over and snapped back to reality.
... End Flashback ...
"What? Oh, sorry guys. Sesshomaru and I had sex last night aswell." She told her
friends non-chalantly.
"Oh. So that's what you were spacin' out for. Looks like were all day dreaming today."
Kagome said. They continued their conversation until the boys were ready to leave. They all
made their way through the Western lands, Sesshomaru still leading the way. The rest of the
day stayed more or less uneventful. That is, until it was time to make camp.
"Aaaaahhhhhh...!"
"What the hell was that?" InuYasha said when the scream had died down.
"That would be the direction Keitoru is in. We should split up. You guys take the village
just over there. Rin, Jaken, Ritoku and I will take the one over here." Sesshomaru instructed
the group. They all headed off toward their determined destinations.
InuYasha and his companions emerged from the forest to discover the small village
completely desolated. An enormous castle stood in its place. The mangled, bloodstained
bodies of countless villagers were strewn all around a tall figure standing near the entrance.
As the figure turned its head his eyes gleamed and an evil grin spread across his face,
illuminating the two giant, white fangs in his mouth.
"Keitoru." InuYasha growled, drawing his sword.
"But of coarse." The demon croaked and ran into his domain.
"Oh no ya don't!" InuYasha yelled and ran inside after him, his friends quickly following.
They ventured deep into the stone castle, looking into room after room for the demon Keitoru.
Finally locating him as he dodged into a large room on the highest floor other than the roof
level. But when they entered the room Keitoru was nowhere to be seen.
"Where the hell is he? He must be hiding in here somewhere." InuYasha said as he
turned over a table. The room was filled with old furniture. "Keitoru could be anywhere."
"Maybe he's mmm..." Kagome's voice was cut off as Keitoru came from behind a
cabinet and clamped a hand over her mouth. He held a small dagger to her throat.
"Kagome!" InuYasha yelled.
"Sorry. This little bitch is mine now." Keitoru told the group and licked the mating
symbol on the young girls neck.
"Get your filthy mouth off a' her!" InuYasha snarled and jumped into the air toward
Keitoru. But just as he was about to strike the demon, Keitoru hurled Kagome to the ground,
pulled out his own sword, and stabbed InuYasha in the stomach.
"No!" Kagome screamed as loud as she could.
Sesshomaru's pointed, elf-like ears twitched. The girls scream had reached his acute
hearing even from such a distance. He immediately recognized Kagome's voice and ran in the
direction of the other village.
"Sesshomaru, where are you going?" Ritoku yelled after him. But his rapid pace did
not slow. Being a full-fledged dog demon gave him incomprehensible speed. The others tried
to keep up with him as best they could.
"Ahhh!" InuYasha groaned as he fell backwards onto a table. He clenched his teeth
and put a hand over his wound, using the other to try and hoist himself up. Only succeding in
falling back harder. Wincing as he landed directly on the through-and-through stab wound in
his stomach and back.
"Now you're dead halfbreed. And I'll be taking your little woman as my prize." Keitoru
said, lifting his sword to take a final swipe at InuYasha.
"No!" Kagome screamed again. She got up and pushed Keitoru aside. She ended up
being thrown to the ground again.
"Kagome!" InuYasha yelled with pain in his voice and face. Keitoru began to lower his
sword, now coming fast at InuYasha. But suddenly another blade came out of nowhere,
flinging Keitoru's to the ground. Then Sesshomaru appeared in front of his injured brother.
"Oh thank god!" Kagome exclaimed with a sigh. She and her other companions ran to
InuYasha's side. Kagome took hold of his hand and kissed it twice before taking her lovers
head in her arms and pulling it close to her chest. InuYasha winced from the pain once more,
closing his eyes and wrapping his arms around Kagome's waist, pulling them even closer
together. Then stared at the older demon before him.
"You. How could you waste your energy protecting a worthless halfbreed like him?
Especially when he's in your illustrious family of full demons. He's destroying generations of
perfection and power!" Keitoru interogated the Lord of the Western lands. He may have been
originally trying to gain lordship over these lands but he could not believe this.
"For that reason exactly. He's family. Even if he is a worthless halfbreed. Even if I do
despise his mere existance. Even if I do resent the fact that my families blood runs through his
veins. I can't just allow you to kill him. My father had enough faith in his power to beseach him
Tetsusaiga before he was even old enough to weild the sword. Therefore he must be worth
something. Besides, he's beaten me on countless ocassions. Mostly on wit but." Sesshomaru
turned around slightly and gave his baby brother a kind sort of smile. InuYasha blushed. His
older brother had never been so nice to him before. He wasn't sure how to react.
"Then I'll just kill you both. Two birds with one stone right. Starting with you!"
Keitoru yelled and launched himself at Lord Sesshomaru. Only to get the dog demon's
poisonous claws rammed through his chest. He stumbled back, sword still at the ready.
"Damn. I guess I did get too cocky. I knew that would happen." Keitoru mumbled
before falling to the ground, collapsed in death.
"Huh. Well, that's one more over-confident bastard down." Ritoku said, startling the
group. She, Rin, and Jaken had finally caught up with Sesshomaru and had been watching
much of the fight.
"Let's go." Sesshomaru told everyone. He walked over to his mate and put his arm
around her waist, leading her toward the door. He stopped and turned when InuYasha spoke.
"Sesshomaru, thank you. If you hadn't stepped in when you did Keitoru would have
taken Kagome."
"I'm not surprised that's all you care about. I figured your soul would have haunted me
for not saving her. Besides, even if she is a human, she has the sacred powers of a priestess.
That alone makes her worth the effort I suppose. I'd hate to see her in the hands of that demon
anyway. It's too hard to find girls like her and Ritoku anymore. So at least the two of them are
still with Taisho's right?"
"Yeah." InuYasha said as his older brother turned and continued out the door and
down the stairs.
"Okay, I'm confused." Miroku said as soon as Sesshomaru and his companions were
gone.
"I think we all are." Sango told him. With Kagome's aid InuYasha was able to pull
himself up enough to sit comfortably. His right arm still around her waist for support. He tried
to stand up but winced at the pain in his stomach and quickly sat back down, a hand over his
wound again.
"InuYasha, stop moving! You'll only make your wounds worse!" Kagome scolded him.
"It doesn't matter. At least you're all right." He said, leaning over and kissing her softly.
"Come on, I should really get you outta' here." InuYasha used the wall to get to his feet, face
clenched tight in pain the entire time.
"Here. Let me help you get out of this place." Kagome said. She took hold of InuYasha
and escorted him down the stairs and out the door. There Sesshomaru waited with the demon
Hachi. Who, in giant, floating cloud form, would carry them all back to Kaede's village.
Kagome had grabbed the jewel shard before leaving and now added it to her collection.
The Sacred Jewel was almost whole again. 'Just a few more pieces,' she thought. They talked
on the way home and decided that the next day they would go on sort of a vacation to
Kagome's era. Even Sesshomaru gave in to coming. Everyone was so happy that he and
InuYasha were finally acting like brothers. Perhaps Kagome and Ritoku would be getting more
close family than they had expected.
When they arrived at the village Kagome helped InuYaha hobble into their room. The
others disperced themselves accordingly. Kaede left some materials with Kagome so she
could bandage her husbands wounds.
"Ow." InuYasha said, light enough so that maybe the girl wouldn't hear.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to pull so hard." She said concernedly.
"It's okay. It didn't hurt that much." He told her. She was finished so he put his shirt back
on and turned around. Kagome had walked over to her sleeping bag and sat down to curl up
in its covers. InuYasha did the same but wrapped one arm around her, placing his hand under
her cheek, kissing the other.
"I love you." He told her.
"I love you too." She answered. They remained in the same position and fell fast
asleep.
The next morning they all got up and packed what they'd need. Kagome's family would
have the normal essentials like food and stuff. So they really didn't have to bring all that much.
They didn't even have to walk that far to get to the well that connected the two worlds. From
there they simply had to jump down through it. Enabling them to come out on the other side in
Kagome's time era. There they lounged around in hammocks chattering away drinking iced tea
in the warm sunlight. Later on that night they sat in the Higurashi's living room to watch some
television. Shippo and Sota sat on the floor, entranced in the program, while Sango and Miroku
sat on the couch curled up in each others arms. Kagome sat on InuYasha's lap with his arms
around her.
"Mmmm... I think I'm going to find my pajamas and go to bed." She stated as she
peeled herself off of InuYasha.
"Alright. I'll be up in a little while." He told her as she headed upstairs for her bedroom.
Ritoku had taken off with Rin and Jaken was already asleep, leaving Lord Sesshomaru to sit
alone. He watched as the girl climbed the stairs and quietly began to follow.
"Oh man! Where the heck did my pj's get to? They have to be here somewhere."
Kagome asked herself as she sat on the floor in her room, knees tucked beneath her.
"Are these what you're looking for?" Sesshomaru asked, suddenly appearing in the
doorway. He held Kagome's pajamas in his hand.
"Yes, thank you." Kagome said to him, crossing the room and taking the clothes.
"They were setting just outside the door in the hall." Kagome blushed as he said this.
"Oh."
"So, you and InuYasha are mated now, are you?" Sesshomaru spoke while slowly
meandering to the other end of the room.
"Yeah. I suppose we are."
"Hmph."
"What have you got against our relationship?"
"Nothing. Welcome to the Taisho family." Sesshomaru answered. Then he reached over
and pulled Kagome close to him in order to lightly kiss her on the cheek. Just then, InuYasha
walked in.
"You ready for bed ba...? What the hell is going on in here!"
"Don't lose your temper little brother. I was merely gesturing to Kagome that I approve
your choice in her as a woman and am pleased she has entered our family." Sesshomaru
explained.
"Oh, well, alright then." InuYasha said calming down and walking over to his wife.
Wrapping an arm around her waist he turned back to his older brother. "But why would you do
that? It's not like you at all." He questioned.
"Simple. I envy you, little brother."
"What?" InuYasha said, giving his older brother a puzzled look. Kagome looked just as
confused.
"I envy you. You have such a wonderful life. A home, a real future. I can't even see where
Ritoku and I are headed."
"Sesshomaru, that's ridiculous." Kagome scolded him.
"No, it isn't." With that he turned on his heels and strode out the door.
"Hey, wait!" InuYasha called to him.
"What?" Sesshomaru answered coldly, turning back around.
"Would you like to join us? I mean, you are family after all." He asked. Kagome looked
at him with soft eyes to reassure her approval in his decision.
"You wouldn't mind?"
"Not at all." Kagome quipped.
"Well, alright. I'd like that. I'll have to talk it over with Ritoku first of coarse."
"Of coarse." InuYasha added. Sesshomaru turned and went out to find his wife. Kagome
felt her lover's hand on her shoulder and turned to see him smiling widely, eyes all alight.
"What?" She asked cautiously. He'd never looked at her like that before.
"Thank you for going along with that. It was a sudden decision and you didn't have to."
"Yes I did, he's family. Besides, he's not so bad once you get on his good side."
"Well... thank you." He said again, leaning forward to kiss her lips lightly. Then he ran his
hands down from her shoulders to her hands and grabbed the pajamas she was holding. He
then threw them on the floor.
"Why did you do that?" She questioned.
"Because you won't be needing them tonight." He answered and slowly moved her
backwards until he was able to push her gently down onto the bed. He came down on top of
her and they kept each other awake the rest of the night.
