Chapter 21: For The Nights I Can't Remember
~KAGOME~
I woke up with the sun on my face and the smell of bacon and eggs. What woke me up was the sound of boys swearing and pots and pans hitting everything. I smiled. I sat up in my bad and just listened. It was funny to hear Inuyasha and Miroku, especially since neither of the knew how to really cook. But after what I'd told Inuyasha before going to be he promised to make it the perfect day.
*Flashback*
Inuyasha and I lay in bed. He was playing with my hair while I traced his abs. I thought about what he did to me in the shower, and how much control that must have shown. We hadn't done anything after that. Even in the bed, with me in thin PJ's and him only in some sweat pants, he was in control. It was then that I knew.
"I'm ready." His breath stopped and he shifted his torso off the bed. I moved to look at him. His eyes searched mine.
"Kagome, are you sure?" I nodded. I knew it in my heart and in my soul. I was ready. It was time.
"Yes. I'm ready Inuyasha. I just know it." His lips pressed to mine, not in lust but happiness. He pulled back reluctantly and stared deep into my eyes. So much was going through his mind, I knew it. He was most likely fighting his demon side right there to not jump me that very munite.
"Tomorrow night, after the show. I want to make it a perfect day for you. You will never be happier and it will be the greatest memory you have." He kissed me again and pulled me close. I could only smile while he kissed my cheeks and neck.
*End Flashback*
As I thought about it I only smiled more. Inuyasha would do everything to make it better than any other day in my life. Which wasn't too hard to do really, but I didn't mention that fact. I got out of bed and found some comfortable jeans and a shirt and put them on. A quick brush of my hair and I was out of my room. I walked slowly, waiting to see just how long it would be before Inuyasha realized I was up.
I saw Sango doing the same as me, both of us smiled at each other. I had told her just before going to bed that I was ready. She and I were supposed to go get something special for Inuyasha. I didn't think I'd need it but there was no arguing with the girl. We'd go a few hours before the show and get back with whatever in time for the sound check and song list.. We both entered the kitchen at the same time and saw the boys setting plates full of food down.
"Just in time girls, we've made a great spread. And it isn't toxic." Miroku smirked while Inuyasha poured us juice. Sango and I walked closer to our guys. She went to Miroku and greeted him with a kiss. Inuyasha pulled me close and kissed me gently.
"This is only the start." He kissed me again and pulled out my chair, pushing it in once I was sitting. He went to the chair to my right and sat but didn't touch his food. He would wait for me first, just like he did every meal since we've been together. I took a bite of eggs and looked at him. He was eager to hear what I thought about it.
"It's amazing. You did a great job." Even though both boys had worked together to make it I only spoke to Inuyasha. My mate needed to know he did good before he would even think of lifting his fork. I continued to eat, catching Inuyasha's stares every few bites. If no one knew before then they'd figure it out right then.
When we cleaned our plates the guys took them and put them in the sink. They told us to go relax; they would do the dishes. We didn't argue.
"So I have a good idea of what you should get for tonight but I want to check out a few things just in case you don't like it." Sango started as soon as we were on the couch. She picked up a magazine and opened it up. I saw only lingerie and figured it wasn't going to be something too comfortable. But I promised Sango I'd wear something good so I would go along with her. I did get final choice though.
"Well it's 9:00 now, and we have till 6:00 or so to get anything you think I'll need. We could make it a relaxing day till the show. I haven't really been out much in the last 48 hours." I played with a loose thread on my shirt while I spoke. I was nervous. Who wouldn't be?
"Yeah, sounds good. We can let the boys do whatever they want and we can spend a girl day."She set the magazine down and stretched before getting the remote and turning on the TV.
"Now, lets see how traffic is so I can avoid killing someone going super slow." I laughed knowing Sango was partially truthful. She had a bad case of road rage if she had to be behind some slow person. I remembered Miroku telling me about the time she almost got arrested but got out of it, in his words, 'thanks to her amazingly beautiful tits.'
Inuyasha sat right next to me and brought me close. He said he liked feeling my body against his and it would be easier for him to move me from an attacker but I was sure he just wanted to accidentally move his hands and touch something. Not that it mattered anyways. That night would be the first time I allowed someone to touch me as he would. And the thought made me blush.
"Aw Kags, thinking about something are we?" Sango teased. I smiled at her and kicked her playfully.
"How do you know I'm not thinking of you?" I felt Inuyasha stiffen, and I don't mean his body. Miroku had that 'please be serious' look on his face. Sango smiled playfully at me.
"Oh, well then, we will be having much more fun today than I thought." We both started giggling. Inuyasha could only breathe and try to loose his mind right then. I got up and held my hand out to Sango.
"Let's get going. You boys can do whatever you want for the next few hours." Sango took my hand and followed me out towards our rooms. We both kept giggling as we got ready in her room. She had told me on my first night that she was bisexual, and we had talked about playing around with the boys. That was before everything happened but it was a good a time as any to do it.
"I can't wear that!" I wasn't going to. Ever.
"Why not? It's not like you need to really wear anything. The less you have on the better." Sango said the same thing to every item she picked out. And I answered her the same way too.
"I want to make him want me, yes, but I don't want to look like that whore doing so." She knew I meant Kikyo. I didn't know what was happening with her. Inuyasha told me he had deleted her from his phone and even showed me. It didn't really mean much since he probably knew her number by heart anyways. But I didn't think he'd call her. He was my mate, he almost had a heart attack if another guy bumped into me. He wouldn't cheat. I knew it in my soul.
Sango set down the barely there pieces of cloth and moved to another rack. I had never entered a store like this. Then again until I met Sango I never bought my own clothes. My 'father' used to do it before I left and after that I never spent money on clothing. If I needed something I'd get it from a church or something like that.
I also didn't understand paying hundreds of dollars for two minuscule pieces of cloth. It was ridiculous how much this stuff cost when the goal was for it to end up on the floor. I could get 50 cents worth of cloth and get the same result. I almost told Sango that, too, but I saw something I could be happy with.
It looked like a corset but was more sensual. It was a beautiful sky blue and had slight ruffles at the bottom on the corset part. The panties were simple, and it also came with stalkings. I knew it was something Inuyasha would love. Something inside me just told me so.
"Oh, nice choice! I like it." Sango took it from me and checked the tag.
"Sad how this is less expensive than the two pieces of cloth." She took it to the cash and paid for it, telling me it's her gift for the mating. We decided to get lunch, going to a little cafe across from the lingerie store.
We sat and ordered. While we waited Sango asked me the strangest question.
"Kagome, have you ever heard of priestesses?" I blinked at her a few times. I didn't know where her question came from.
"Um, yeah, I guess I have. I think my mom mentioned something about them to me when I was younger. But I lived at a shrine so maybe she was trying to tell me that I'd have to become one or something. Why do you ask?" Sango didn't speak while our food and drinks came. She slowly sipped her coffee as if she was deep in thought.
"Kagome, that power, the one from the other night, you remember it?" I nodded. How could I not? It had felt amazing yet strange.
"Well, the last couple of days I've been talking to someone and she thinks you are one. A Priestess." I shook my head. She was kidding right?
"No, I'm not. I'm a normal human." I wasn't special in any way. Inuyasha thought I was special but he was almost hard wired to do so since I was his mate.
"Kagome, it's not a bad thing. Actually, it's amazing. Priestesses have a lot of power and when I described your power to Lady Kaede she told me you might be the most powerful one around right now." The words didn't make sense to me. There was no way. My mom wasn't anything special, and my 'father' wasn't even really my dad. My biological dad was dead from what Koga had uncovered.
"Kagome, it's not impossible..." Sango picked at her bagel and watched me closely. She was ready to chase me if I tried to run. Even with the power from Inuyasha's blood I knew she'd catch me. She wasn't in heals.
"I'm going to mate a half-demon. How can I do that if I am a Priestess?"
"Lady Kaede said there is nothing against Priestesses getting married or mated. But you may need to learn how to use your powers, especially since if you have kids they can inherit your abilities." Sango touched my hand gently.
"Okay, after everything's happened then I'll accept to training. Got it?" That meant I had to be mated to Inuyasha.
She smiled at me and squeezed my hand. The week was going to be long...
A/N: Alright! Again not exactly where I thought it would go but here's where it ends for now. The next chapter will have the show, but will it contain Inuyasha's and Kagome's love filled night? Or will something happen to make it not happen? Keep reading and find out! Lol please R&R.
PS: The song would have played during the flashback and would end when the flashback ended.
