"I'm exhausted you guys. I'm going to go ahead and go to sleep." Kagome's mom said, taking her shoes off by the front door.
"Is Himitsu sleeping in your room or Grandpa's?" Kagome asked.
"If it's alright with you and Souta I would like to sleep next to him."
"It's okay with me." Kagome said, smiling, taking off her shoes off too. "They're back already, right?"
"Yes. But it's already one in the morning and he said that he'd sleep in the room with me tonight, so hopefully I don't wake him up climbing into bed." Mrs. Higurashi said. "Okay. Goodnight."
"Goodnight." InuYasha said, yawning. "Kagome, can I sleep next to you tonight instead of in the room with your Grandpa?"
"Sure," she said, rubbing his already red cheeks.
A little embarrassed, InuYasha raced up the stairs to Kagome's room and waited quietly until she herself made it up there too. "Hasty! Hasty!" she joked, closing the door and locking it.
"Won't your Grandpa suspect something if the door's locked?"
"Let him think." Kagome said, smiling. "It'll be funny."
InuYasha pulled off his shirt and hopped in the bed, holding the covers open for Kagome, who was stripped down to a large T-shirt and panties.
"Oh, the light." she mumbled, flicking the switch off, then finally climbing in the bed with him.
InuYasha wrapped his arms around her, kissing her gently on the cheek, and then on the lips.
"How come you only kiss me when we're alone?" Kagome asked, playing with his dog-like ears. "You never kiss me in front of my mom or Kaede."
"I don't know..." InuYasha could feel his face getting hot and he quickly let go of Kagome and whipped around to face the wall. "We should probably get some sleep."
Kagome put a hand on InuYasha's bare back and was able to feel the heat from there too. *...he's blushing...* she thought, rolling her eyes in the dark. She wrapped her arms around him this time and ran her fingers up and down his hard chest, and was relieved when she felt him playing with her hands.
"How come you like to touch my chest?" InuYasha asked, turning on his back that way he could see Kagome.
"Just because." She let her fingers slide down his stomach to his waist. "I like the eay your muscles feel."
"Yeah?" InuYasha pulled apart the bow that held trousers closed so that Kagome's hand could slip down farther, than sighed in relief when he felt her warm hand wrapped around him.
"I wonder if Souta is sleeping." Kagome layed still for a moment, until she could hear her brother's soft snoring on the other side of the wall.
"I'll be quiet." InuYasha whispered, looking down and watching himself being catered to by Kagome with the little bit of light that showed through her window.
Kagome gently massaged InuYasha, watching his breathing get heavier. "Kimochi?"
"Yeah..." InuYasha huffed, softly rubbing Kagome's head. "Kaede said that a lot of demons have been attacking the village lately..."
"Oh I know. Sango told me about it. Kaede needed to set up a small trap in the woods somewhere." Kagome pulled the covers back and slid down towards the foot of the bed.
InuYasha had both of his hands in Kagome's hair, carefully pulling her head over him.
Kagome parted her lips, engulfing InuYasha, him letting out a loud moan.
InuYasha held onto her head firmly, lifting her head up, then pushing it back down, creating more moans.
Kagome closed her eyes, pulling harder, happy that she was able to please him.
"...Kagome..." InuYasha called.
Kagome smirked, going even harder.
"Kagome?" InuYasha called again."
"Hmm?"
"Kagome, what the hell is that?" he asked sitting up.
Kagome sat up too. "The jewel shards..."
The jewel shards that were seated on Kagome's desk in the tiny jar she always kept them in were glowing an unusual orange color.
InuYasha tied his pants back closed and sat up more. "Their getting brighter!"
"Yeah, I know!" Kagome yelled, shielding her ears from a very high-pitched whistle that was also coming from the bottle. "Their lighting up the entire room!"
"Kagome! Your ears!" InuYasha grabbed the schoolgirl and hugged her tightly. "Their bleeding!"
The bottle itself started to glow, then it started to shake, then it started to smoke."
InuYasha ducked himself and Kagome under the bed, just in time for Kagome to be shielded from the glass of the exploding bottle. He waited a few seconds until the noise and light went away. Then he glanced down at Kagome to make sure she was okay. "Dammit." he said, pulling a shard of glass out of his arm, then pulling himself and Kagome from under the bed. "What the hell was that?"
Kagome stared at her desk for a long moment, then gasped. "They're gone!"
"Huh?" InuYasha wiped the little bit of blood from the side of Kagome's face.
"I don't sense the jewel shards!" she yelled, standing up. "I can usually sense them up to over a mile away, but they're all gone!" Kagome walked over to the desk and picked up the only shard left. "It's just this one left. The rest are gone."
"You think that maybe they pierced through the wall or something?"
"The explosion wasn't that big though." Kagome went and sat on her bed, watching the normal, tainted, purple glow that usually came from jewel shards. "I mean, it didn't even wake anybody up."
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Maybe I should go to Kaede or Sango. Miroku might know something too." InuYasha pulled his kimono back on, then pecked Kagome on the lips. "Are you gonna be okay here by yourself?"
"I think so." Kagome said, rubbing her elbow nervously. "My family's here, so-"
"You're shaking. Why don't you come with me?"
"I have school in the morning." Kagome brushed InuYasha bangs to the side and kissed him back. "I'll be okay. I might go and watch some TV for an hour or so or until school starts.
"Okay, well see you tomorrow, alright?"
