Kagome swung her legs as she relaxed on her bed, humming softly. She stared up at the ceiling as she fell back on the bed. She sighed blissfully before rolling into her side.
"I feel a lot better than I did. I wonder why?" Kagome muttered. The fluffy duvet felt heavenly against her body and she shut her eyes. A knock at her door made her eyes snap wide open. Kagome sat up. "Come in." She called. The door opened to reveal Wilbur. He smiled.
"Hey, Kagome." He greeted before walking over and sitting next to the young Asian. Kagome wrapped her arms around his shoulders, burying her face into his neck.
"Hey, Wilbur." She murmured, a small smile on her lips. Wilbur wrapped his arms around her as she clung to him. He kissed the top of her head softly and released a sigh. Kagome lifted her head and looked at Wilbur before going to kiss his cheek. Wilbur, being a sneaky little shit, turned his head so their lips connected softly. Kagome blushed slightly but kissed him nonetheless. Both of their eyes shut and Kagome's arms moved from Wilbur's shoulders only to wrap around his neck. Wilbur's arms moved around her waist as they kissed. It felt like an eternity but it was only a few seconds before they pulled away. "Sneaky." Kagome muttered, earning a chuckle and a toothy grin.
"You know you love it." Wilbur insisted, making Kagome smile. Kagome rested her head against his chest and let out a yawn. Wilbur moved them both so they were lying on the bed, Kagome's head resting on his chest and their arms wrapped around each other. "Is this better?" Wilbur asked, earning a small nod from Kagome who shifted slightly but not much.
"Couldn't be better." Kagome whispered, growing rather tired. Wilbur ran a hand through her loose hair, humming.
"Do you want me to switch off the light?" He questioned. Kagome nodded once again, her mouth opening with another loud yawn.
"If you don't mind." She said. Wilbur reached over and switched the light off before the two were just lying in bed with the moonlight coming in from the window. "Good night, Wilbur. I love you." Kagome murmured, closing her eyes. Wilbur glanced down at her before smiling.
"I love you too. Good night." He replied before shutting his eyes as well. They both listened to the silence, comforted by each other's body warmth and drifted off to sleep.
When the morning rolled round, Kagome was awoken with the feeling of her hair being played with. She looked up at Wilbur and smiled.
"Good morning." She greeted. Wilbur replied with a small 'good morning'. Kagome sat up and stretched her arms out. "That was the best sleep I've ever had." She admitted. Wilbur sat up and smiled at Kagome.
"I'm glad." He kissed her on the lips quickly before hopping off the bed. "I'm going to get changed. School is in, like, two hours or something." Wilbur headed out of the room, shutting the door behind himself. Kagome hopped out of bed and went through the drawers, finding some of Franny's old clothes that she was given. Kagome removed her clothing and grabbed a black blouse and a black knee-length skirt along with black tights. She put the clothing on before looking in the mirror. A bruise was faintly there so she grabbed some foundation and applied it like she normally did before adding the powder until it looked like her skin was just normal. Kagome exited the room and looked to her right to see Wilbur. He grinned, wearing his trademark shirt with blue jeans.
"Guys, breakfast is ready!" Franny's voice called. Kagome and Wilbur nodded at each other and headed off up a travel tube. They popped up in the dining room, only to find some of the family members already there, hunched together and giggling. Both teens looked at each other in confusion before Wilbur spoke up.
"What's so funny, guys?" He questioned. Tallulah looked at them both and grinned.
"Oh, you two are so cute!" She said. Both teens suddenly got a bad feeling and rushed over only to see a picture of both of them holding each other fast asleep. Kagome and Wilbur turned bright red.
"Wh-who took this?!" They both exclaimed, their faces flushing brighter. The family laughed warmly, cooing at how adorable they looked asleep with each other. Franny smiled at them.
"You two did look comfortable when your father and I came through to wake you up. We just couldn't resist!" She said, looking at Wilbur. Cornelius chuckled as the two teens sputtered in embarrassment, unable to say anything whatsoever. Kagome covered her face, blushing brightly until the colour drained from her face at a question she really hoped would be avoided.
"Why is there a bruise here?" Uncle Art pointed at the bruise on her face in the picture. Kagome paled visible, gulping quietly. Sounds came out of her mouth but she couldn't form coherent sentences or words. Her eyes were wide and Wilbur realised how uncomfortable she was with this topic.
"Ah... uh... um, I, uh... Umm... err..." Kagome felt pressure on her when the whole family stared at her. She nervously gulped once again. Wilbur wrapped an arm around her shoulders and sent his family a bit of a warning look.
"Don't pester her about it. As you can see, she clearly doesn't wish to discuss it." He said firmly before sitting the girl in a seat, taking the empty one next to her. His right hand reached over and grasped her left one under the table, rubbing the back of her hand soothingly. Cornelius cleared his throat.
"Well, I hope you two are excited for school today." He changed the subject. Franny sent Kagome an apologetic and sympathetic look. Kagome shrugged softly. Then, Carl came out and declared that breakfast was ready as his chest opened up. Many mini Carl's came running out with dishes, setting them in front of people. When Kagome received her plate, she stared at it in shock. There were three pancakes drizzled in syrup and a separate plate with some bacon on it. Kagome looked up only to glance at Cornelius who was smiling warmly at her.
"I remember you loved your bacon and pancakes." He said, making Kagome's eyes widen.
"You... remembered? After, what, thirty years? You actually remembered what I liked?" Kagome asked in astonishment as Cornelius nodded. She felt very warm deep in her chest at the fact that despite the years Cornelius probably thought she was dead, he remembered stuff about her. Kagome smiled and looked down. "Thank you." She murmured before digging in to her food like everyone else.
