Chapter 11:

Life Together

Two weeks later Inuyasha ran back into their village with Kagome on his back. Once they got there they put their stuff in their house and went to go find their friends.

They were outside sitting in the grass. Sango was combing her daughter's hair, Miroku was sitting in the grass next to them holding Shinichi and drinking tea, and Shippo was near them.

"Hi you guys, we're back!" Kagome said.

Shippo ran over to them and jumped into her arms. "Hi Kagome! I missed you."

Kagome hugged him. "I missed you too Shippo." They sat down near Miroku and Sango.

Mieko came over and sat in Inuyasha's lap. "Hi uncle Inuyasha."

"Hey kiddo."

"How was the honeymoon?" Sango asked.

Kagome and Inuyasha exchanged a glance. "Awesome," Kagome said.

"The best two weeks of my life," Inuyasha said.

"That's all you're going to give us?" Miroku said.

"Well we can't exactly go into detail around the kids, can we?" Kagome said.

"You can whisper it into my ear. I won't tell them," Shippo said.

"You're one of those kids I was talking about."

Shippo crossed his arms and pouted. "Aww."

"Let's just say it was hot," Inuyasha said with a smug smirk.

One morning, Inuyasha woke up very early, much earlier than Kagome. Since he'd gotten up so early he'd gone to the hot spring to take a bath and was now on his way back home. He wasn't trying to rush or anything, just walking with his arms crossed observing the early morning atmosphere.

A few minutes later he went into their house. He went into his and Kagome's room and found her still asleep. He got under the covers next to her and ran his hand through her silky black hair. She looked beautiful when she slept, like an angel. Her hair fell loosely over her face, her face looked peaceful and there was a slight smile on her face. He wondered what she was dreaming about that made her smile like this.

She started to stir and yawn. Then she opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Inuyasha's smiling face.

"Good morning," he said.

"Good morning," she said softly.

"What were you smiling about?" he asked curiously.

"I was smiling?"

"Yeah. Tell me what you were dreaming about."

She blushed and looked past him. "I don't remember it…"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Yes you do. Tell me."

She shook her head. "No."

"What, do you think I'm gonna laugh at you or something?" he teased. "C'mon tell me Kagome."

She sighed. "Fine. We were on the beach and we were…making love." Her face was burning with a red blush now.

Inuyasha chuckled.

She slapped his arm. "You said you wouldn't laugh at me!"

He continued laughing for a moment. "I'm sorry. If it helps, I dream about having sex with you all the time."

"The why were you laughing at me you crazy half demon?"

He snickered. "Because you told me not to, why else?"

"And this is a perfect example of why you annoy me so much," she said rolling her eyes.

He kissed her lips and she melted into him forgetting her annoyance towards him. "How about we make that dream a reality?" he said looking into her eyes.

"We're going to the beach?"

"Nah, the beach is too far." He started to caress her and kiss her neck. "How about we just pretend we're at the beach?"

"Mmm, okay."

That afternoon they were all outside again enjoying the crisp autumn air and the changing leaves blowing around. Inuyasha and Kagome were sitting at the base of a tree eating strawberries.

There was one strawberry left and she picked it up.

"Hey," Inuyasha said.

"Hmm?"

"I wanted the last strawberry," he said with a pout.

"You already had more than me."

"No I didn't. You had like, five more than I did."

She rolled her eyes. "You're exaggerating."

"No I'm not."

"I didn't even have more than you did. You had more than me."

"Prove it."

"How the heck am I supposed to prove it?"

He crossed his arms. "Exactly, you can't prove it! So I should have the last strawberry."

"Sit!" she said out of habit.

He smirked. "You took it off, remember? So ha!"

She glared at him for a moment then put the last strawberry in her mouth. "Mmm, it's sooo good!"

"Damn it Kagome!" he exclaimed.

"Oh wow, this is the best strawberry I've ever had! You're missing out."

"Shut up!"

She leaned against the tree. "It's like my taste buds have been sent to heaven."

Inuyasha looked away from her and crossed his arms angrily. "I hate you."

She pushed his arm. "I hate you more!"

"No you don't!"

"Yeah I do!"

Miroku came over to them carrying his daughters on his back. "Can't you two go one day without arguing?"

Shippo jumped off the branch above them and landed in front of them. "Haven't you realized it by now? That's how their relationship works. Inuyasha says something insulting, they argue, then they kiss and make up like nothing ever happened."

"I'm not always the one that says something insulting!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"You always insult my cooking," Kagome said.

He rolled his eyes. "Not this again."

"Well you do!"

"I love your cooking."

"You don't act like it!"

"Damn it, why the hell did you have to come back? You're so annoying. I'm sick of you complaining all the time!"

A hurt look crossed Kagome's face and she looked away from him with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Inuyasha you idiot! You hurt her feelings!" Shippo exclaimed.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome and saw that she was about to cry. He started to feel bad. "Kagome…" He paused as he caught the scent of a demon coming closer, then they heard a scream in the village.

"Sounds like a demon," Shippo said.

Inuyasha pulled out his sword. "I'll take care of it." He saw the demon; it was a big flying demon that looked like a bat.

Miroku came back over to them. "What's going on?"

"There's a demon. Inuyasha went to go kill it," Shippo said.

"Good."

The demon flew towards them and Inuyasha ran over to it. "You're going down you bastard!" He swung his sword at it and cut it as the demon tried to avoid him. It flew away from Inuyasha trying avoid his sword.

Midori and Mieko were over playing in the flowers and the demon flew over to them.

"Midori, Mieko, run!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

The girls looked up and saw the demon flying towards them. "AHH!" they screamed.

Miroku jumped in front of them and hit the demon with his staff leaving a huge gash in its face. He bent down to his daughters and they jumped into his arms still shaking. "Are you two okay?"

The demon went for Kagome but Inuyasha jumped in front of her and cut the demon in half with his sword making it explode in the process. He landed on the ground and put his sword away. "Hey Miroku, are they okay?"

Miroku nodded. "Yeah, they're not hurt." He kissed them both on the forehead.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome. She looked away from him again still hurt by what he said. He pulled her into his arms. "Kagome, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said those things to you."

"You don't really hate me that much…do you?"

He shook his head. "No, I don't hate you at all. I love you." He kissed her lips.

"What did I tell you?" Shippo said. "They argue, then they kiss and make up. Some relationship."

Sango and Kagome were sitting outside one afternoon. Sango was folding a basket of laundry and Kagome was holding her son.

Kagome observed the mountain of clothes next to Sango. "That's a lot of clothes."

"Yeah well, if you have a big family like I do, you're gonna end up with a lot. I swear if I have another baby I'm gonna be buried in this stuff." She put one of Midori's kimono's on the stack then glanced at Kagome. "So, let's talk about you and Inuyasha."

Kagome blushed. "What about me and Inuyasha?"

"It's been a few weeks already. Has the hype worn off yet?"

"No," Kagome said shaking her head. "I don't think it ever will. What, has it worn off with you and Miroku?"

Sango laughed. "With that pervert, of course not. When we're not in the bed he's still all over me."

"Our one month anniversary was last night," Kagome said.

"How did you celebrate?" Sango asked knowingly.

Kagome smiled. "Let's just say we had some fresh wine and I had him begging for me."

Sango giggled. "Begging is always a good thing."

Miroku and Inuyasha were sitting nearby with the girls. They were on Inuyasha's shoulder's playing with his ears and he had an un-amused expression on his face.

Miroku chuckled. "Enjoying yourself?"

Inuyasha glared at him. "Oh yeah, I'm exploding with joy."

"Uncle Inuyasha, why you have doggie ears?" Mieko asked.

"I was born with them," he said through his teeth.

"Why?" Midori asked.

"Because my father was a dog demon."

"Can I see your daddy?" Mieko said.

"He's dead," Inuyasha said flatly.

"Where's your mommy?" Midori asked.

Inuyasha almost choked when he heard the question but knew he should have expected it.

Miroku noticed the look on Inuyasha's face. He pulled his girls off him. "Alright you two no more questions. Let's leave doggie uncle alone for a while."

"Doggie uncle?" Inuyasha exclaimed angrily.

"Would you relax? It amuses them," Miroku said.

Inuyasha crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "Yeah, then they'll grow up and call me doggie uncle for the rest of their lives," he mumbled.

Just because they're married doesn't mean they can't have one of their world famous fights every now and then. but i think "doggie uncle" kinda hit too far below the belt there. Oh well, we all know they really love each other, that's all that matters. Poor Inuyasha though, Midori and Mieko ask way too many quesitons for him. By the way, did they have cookies in the Feudal Era?
