Kagome sighed when he disagreed with her and insisted on taking her and Shippou to eat before going to see his leader. Nodding when he commented on Shippou's ability to adapt so well to being in a foreign place, "We have been in many situations like this where we ended up in a different place then we meant to go. He is used to it and finds that being calm and collected helps more then freaking out and blowing things out of proportion." giving a faint smile she brushed a stray lock of hair from Shippou's face, he nuzzled against her hand in his sleep making her smile grow.
"He is so precious to me... The only one who worth taking on this journey." she whispered not realizing that Kakashi heard every word. Looking back up to Kakashi, her smile still in place, Kagome caught him looking at her with an intent look in his eye, "Do you have any children, a wife perhaps?" she asked as they rounded a corner and came to a stop in front of a small shop that smelt divine.
Before Kakashi could answer her stomach gave a growl, her face instantly turned beet red as she crouched down hiding her face in Shippou's hair in embarrassment. Giving a small groan in agony she wished the ground would open up and swallow her, or that a sudden bolt of lightening would strike her and make her disappear.
How mortifying! I can't believe he heard that!
she internally screamed bashing her head against some invisible wall. Peeking up from Shippou's hair she found Kakashi crouched in front of her smiling. "I'm and beyond embarrassed." she whispered burying her face back in Shippou's hair when she heard a deep chuckle pass Kakashi's lips.
Kakashi noticed how motherly Kagome was towards the little guy, and it brought an unsuspecting smile to his face seeing how the two interacted. It made him feel as if there really were good people in the world after everything he had seen and been through. She kept speaking of a journey, and he was starting to get real curious as to what her journey was, and if she was seeking anything. Her next question caught him off-guard and he nearly stuttered to find a response.
Luckily, he didn't have too. Kagome's stomach answered for him. He watched as she hit the ground and with a chuckle, mimicked her not to far away. "See, didn't I tell you to eat first?" He lectured lightly. Kakashi studied her form and gently put a hand on her head as if to say it's alright., kind of like how he did to Sasuke.
Kakashi couldn't help all the memories. She reminded him of all three of his students in one way or the other, and it felt like she was somehow getting him to soften up instead of the other way around. "Here," He offered a hand to her, "You'll be filled up soon by the best ramen in all the village. You can eat to your hearts content."
Kagome stiffened when she felt a hand on her head, pulling her head away she gave a small smile and accepted the hand Kakashi offered. "You didn't answer my question." she said lightly as she followed him into the ramen shop. "Thank you for feeding us. not many people would feed a stranger and her kit right off the bat." she whispered as she sat next to him and started gently shaking Shippou to wake him up to eat.
looking at all the ramen they offered she ordered just the regular shrimp bowl for both her and Shippou, they would share the bowl since she didn't want to make Kakashi pay too much for them. humming lightly she rocked the yawning kitsune in her arms and kissed his forehead before she looked back to Kakashi, "So, do you have a wife or kids?" she asked again giving him a faint smile as Shippou started to braid her hair while they waited for the food to arrive.
Shippou was interested in their conversation but he enjoyed braiding Kagome's hair just as much, he was still a little groggy from his nap. waiting for the silver haired man to reply Shippou decided to hum a lullaby Kagome had made for him long ago to help him calm down when he was scared or couldn't sleep. finishing up her braid he licked the end of it so it would stay since he didn't have one of Kagome's ponytail bands and gave a big yawn.
