February 22

This morning I sat in front of my mirror running a comb through my hair as I thought of how the day had started.

Waking up next to Inuyasha every day is a fulfillment of all of my dreams in the past; both from before we were even officially together and those long three years we spent apart. When I see him next to me every morning wrapped in a blanket, fast asleep in his own dreams, it's like I'm looking at everything that has made my life whole again. So I cuddle up close to him, listen to his steady heartbeat, and think about how grateful I am to have this incredible man as my husband.

More often than not, Yasha wakes up incredibly horny. I'm certainly not complaining. It makes our mornings much more interesting.

"Good morning," I said when he woke up. He started sleepily kissing my neck and I let out a soft moan. I could tell he had a serious case of morning wood as I could feel it pressed against me through our clothes.

"Good morning, baby," he replied as he continued kissing me. His wandering hands found my butt. One hand slipped under my robe and into my underwear. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yes," I said. It came out as more of a whimper. "Did you?"

"I did," he replied. My back arched as his finger went into me. "Had a really nice dream about you."

"Wh-what was it about?" I was panting now. He pulled my robe open and started to suck one of my breasts.

"We were fucking on the beach." He then moved on top of me and switched to my other breast.

"That sounds nice," I managed to say. His erection was now rubbing against my burning center. I pulled it out of his underwear and began to stroke it. "Want to recreate that?"

"Hell yeah."

A minute later our clothes were off and we satisfied our need for each other.

As I sat there in front of the mirror I couldn't help but smile. Mornings with him are what dreams are made of.

All of a sudden I heard little paws on the floor. I turned to find Nico speeding into the room then he jumped onto my lap. Inuyasha ran into the room after him laughing. "Come here, Nico!"

I looked back and forth between them. "What did you do to him?"

"I threw his toy and he ran after it so I started chasing him," Inuyasha said, still laughing. He picked up Nico. "You little weirdo."

Nico jumped out of Inuyasha's arms and ran over to his bed.

I giggled. "Looks like he thinks you're the weirdo."

Inuyasha put his hands on my shoulders and kissed my cheek. "You look beautiful as always."

I have the sweetest husband in the entire world. "Thanks, Yasha."

A bit later we went to Miroku and Sango's house. I can tell that Miroku is recovering well because he's back to his old pervy behavior.

While we were sitting together drinking tea he said, "So I see you two have been having fun."

"Huh?" I said, confused.

"It's pretty obvious."

"What the hell are you going on about?" Inuyasha said.

"All those hickeys you both have?"

Inuyasha and I nearly spit out our tea.

"Wha…?"

"Must have been a wild night," Miroku chuckled as he sipped his tea.

Our entire faces were red. "Why you…!" Inuyasha said angrily. "It was this morning anyway!"

"Inuyasha!" I exclaimed, now even more mortified. This was going to give Miroku a whole other reason to make jokes about us.

Sango was now giggling and I wanted to die. How did I not notice this? It also opened the floodgate for a ton of other questions. Did we always have hickeys? Was it always this obvious? Did everyone I interacted with in the village know that Inuyasha and I were constantly having sex?

"Would you relax?" Sango said. "It just means you love each other and that's nice."

"Just shut the hell up about it," Inuyasha replied.

Before we left, Miroku gave us a small bag of something.

"I've been meaning to give this to you for a while."

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's catnip."

I giggled. "Catnip?"

"What's catnip?" Inuyasha asked.

"It's kind of like a drug for cats. It makes them high."

"Is this safe?"

Miroku chuckled. "Of course it is! They like it. We give it to Kirara sometimes. You'll thank me later."

We went home with our catnip, all the while Inuyasha was examining it. "This stuff smells awful."

"Cats like it a lot."

"Are you sure this won't kill him?"

"No, silly. We used to give it to Buyo back home. You'll see. It's fun." We finally arrived and went inside. "Nico, we have a present for you!" I said.

We went over to Nico who was laying on the floor by the window where the sun was streaming in. He looked up at us curiously. I put a little bit of catnip in my hand and held it out to him. He sniffed it and immediately went crazy rolling around on the floor, growling, and purring. Inuyasha and I laughed. It was quite a sight to see.

"See? Told you he would like it."

"Who knew our cat would be a drug addict?"

I put the rest of the catnip on a shelf in the kitchen area. This way Nico won't be able to get into all of it and have a mind-altering psychedelic trip.
