'scliamer: Nopers

Chappie 9

Shippo slowly opened his eyes then squinted at the bright sunlight. He sat up in new bed, it was the same green as the grass with little leaves on it. The room was painted to look like a hill on a sunny summer's day, butterfly's and trees were scattered throughout the walls.

Apparently it was Daimaru's room when he was little, but he let Shippo use it while they were there.

Little Shippo stretched and yawned before hopping off his bed, green plush carpet squishing beneath his toes.

He walked out the door and sniffed the air. "Breakfast!" he cried as he took off on all four's down the stair's and into the kitchen.

Sango, Miroku and Daimaru were already in the kitchen, Daimaru at the stove making bacon and egg's, Sango and Miroku at the table watching with interest.

Daimaru looked over his shoulder and smiled "Hey Shippo! Want some breakfast?"

Shippo clapped and nodded his head excitedly.

Miroku looked over at Shippo "Ahh, good to have you join us! Do you think you could find Kagome and Inuyasha? Daimaru-sama said that it is rude to start without the entire house in attendance. And frankly, Im starved!" his stomach rumbled to make a point.

"Agreed" said Sango.

"Ok!" and he dashed out of the kitchen and up the stair's. When he got to Kagome's room he reached up and slowly turned the nob.

He popped his head in the crack and peaked in, but she wasnt in there!

Shippo frowned and shrugged

'Guess she's somewhere with Inuyasha' he thought as he shut the door.

He turned his nose to the floor and followed Kagome's faint scent down the hallway on all fours.

Hopping down the step's he turned and followed the scent back to the kitchen.

Miroku raised his eyebrow "Found them yet?" arms crossed in front of his robe clashed chest.

Shippo turned up his nose exagerated snobbishly "Not yet, but my all smelling nose WILL find them!" he said pompously

Sango stood up with a smile "Well, i think that nose of your's need's some eye's as well!"

Miroku chuckled and stood as well "Then why not have a set of ears too?"

Daimaru laughed "I have to stay here to make sure nothing burns. Have fun!" as he turned back to making enough food for an army. His mother had taught him how to cook when he was little, to her, anyone who couldn't cook, couldn't survive.

The three 'sense's' walked out of the room, Shippo leading the way on all fours with Miroku and Sango following behind.

Shippo stopped at the study door's and pointed at the door "They're in here" he said proudly

Sango and Miroku looked at each other and Miroku smiled perversly.

Sango scowled and slapped him "Don't be an idiot! Inuyasha wouldn't even LOOK at her yesterday!"

Miroku rubbed his cheek tenderly.

Sango slowly turned the knob and opened it a sliver before peeking in. She could see Inuyasha's ears and silver head over the back of the chair in front of the fire, but no Kagome.

She opened it a bit more and three head stuck in, Shippo on the bottom, Miroku on he middle and Sango on top.

Inuyasha's ears twitched but made no further movement.

They opened the door the rest of the way and slowly filed into the room.

Sango and Shippo went to the right and Miroku went to the left as they circled around the chair.

Inuyasha was sitting in the chair with Kagome cradled in his arms, sleeping peacefully in the cushiony, red chair in front of the fireplace with a few burning embers in it.

Inuyasha's head started to clear as he woke up from the deepest sleep he had had in centuries. He kept his eyes closed as he swiveled his ears around, he caught three rapidly beating hearts surrounding him. He clutched Kagome tighter as he opened his bleary eyes to see the heads of Miroku, Sango and Shippo hovering over him.

He groaned and blinked a few times to clear his vision. "What do you want?" he asked roughly, grouchy about being woken up. He rested his head against the back of the chair as he closed his eyes again and sighed.

"What are you doing down here?" asked Shippo's squeaky voice.

"Or more importantly," said Miroku's voice "What WERE you doing down here?"

A sound slap echoed through the room as Inuyasha's eyes snapped open.

"Nothing happened!" he sputtered, his cheeks turning crimson.

"Huh? Whats does that mean?" asked Shippo as he hung over the back of the chair

"Nothing. Just Miroku being a hentai again." Said Sango, anger colouring her features.

Kagome slowly blinked her eyes then yawned.

All eyes turned to her "Morning Kagome!" said Shippo happily as he smiled so big he had to close his eyes.

Kagome smiled with half lidded eyes "Mornin' Po" she grunted as she curled up closer to Inuyasha, closing her eyes and sighing happily.

Inuyasha's face burned with embarrassment but smiled.

"I think she is implying you would make a good chair." Said Miroku as he wandered over to the bookshelves.

Inuyasha glared at the houshi's back "Ha. Freaking. Ha." He bit out sarcastically.

At the door Daimaru popped his brown mopped head in "Anyone want eggs or bacon?"

Shippo lept off the chair and started to bounce, eagerly waving his hand above his head. "ME ME ME ME !MMMEEEEEEEEE!" he cried as he ran as fast as he possibly could out of the room.

There was a crash and everyone rushed over to the door to see Shippo lying in a heap by the wall that he just ran into, nursing a bump on his head "Owweeee……." He whimpered

Everyone laughed and Kagome went over and comforted the poor little kitsune.

As she held Shippo she looked at the chuckling Inuyasha happily 'He's back, right this time.' She looked at the rest of the group 'And that's the way it will stay.'
