The Golden Book: Chapter 4 'Interruptions'

"Then what WERE you doing?" Shippo asked, still oblivious that they would probably be making love to each other right now had he not interfered.

"We were just..." Inuyasha began, but Kagome cut him short.

"We were wrestling, and sorry we didn't tell you we were playing, we'll tell you next time!" Kagome said with a fake smile, obviously a little miffed at Shippo as well.

"Okay!" Shippo exclaimed happily, jumping off Kagome's shoulder and scuttling up the path back to camp.

"I bet Miroku sent him... why that..." Inuyasha mumbled under his breath.

Kagome was glad she couldn't hear the rest of what Inuyasha was saying, because she caught some very nasty words in it. Shortly, they followed Shippo and walked back to camp. Inuyasha was still angry that his little moment with Kagome had been so rudely interrupted.

"We'll have more chances!" Kagome said, trying to raise his spirits.

"I guess..." Inuyasha mumbled.

When they arrived back at camp, Sango and Miroku were sitting by the fire, waiting for lunch to be finished cooking. Miroku immediately, upon seeing Inuyasha, gave him a teasing smile.

"So you two were wrestling eh? Have fun?" He said, a huge smile was all over his lecherous face.

"Grmhbnd..damn..adferk..bastard..alev..." Inuyasha muttered in response.

"Why Inuyasha... why so protective over a simple game?" He said, pressing his luck.

His smirk was over his ears and nearing the back of his head when Inuyasha finally took a stick from nearby and allowed Miroku's head a good talk with it.

Kagome and Sango were ignoring the two, talking excitedly on the other side of the fire.

"You mean... you almost..." Sango said, unbelieving.

"Yah!" Kagome said, blushing and exited at the same time.

"Oooo! Next time I'll try to make it so Shippo doesn't intervene." Sango said, stealing an annoyed look at the little kitsune, now intently watching their lunch as it cooked.

"Thanks... oo, and another thing, when we were kissing..." Kagome hushed her voice suddenly, in suspense. "We were on a tree branch, and he lost his balance... And we fell out of the tree!"

The tea Sango was drinking was nearly all over Kagome's face. She couldn't stop laughing, and Kagome soon joined her, remembering just how funny it was.

The two quarreling men stopped to stare at the two girls, clutching their sides from laughing so hard.

"What's so funny?" Miroku asked, amused at how hard the two were laughing.

"Hee... nothing...." Sango managed through a break in the giggles.

Inuyasha knew what they were laughing about, even if he hadn't heard them talking he would've known. He just sat back, glaring at Sango for laughing at his mistake.

'I just lost my balance.' He told himself.

'Ah, but you were quite caught up in something else at the moment.' Replied his voice, more amused now. He smiled inside himself. 'Better to fall out of a tree kissing then something else I suppose!'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

That evening, the gang was making ready to go to bed. As usual, Inuyasha leaped into a carefully chosen tree nearby. Kagome strolled over to the bottom of the tree, staring up at the hanyou.

"What do you want?" Inuyasha said.

"I think you know." Kagome said, smiling.

"Ok, ok." Inuyasha said, hopping off the branch onto the ground right next to Kagome.

"Jump on." He said, turning around and pointing to his back.

"Yay!" Kagome said excitedly, climbing onto his warm back.

They jumped back into the tree, and were soon quite comfortable on the branch; Kagome curled up in his lap like a cat.

'This is much better then sleeping on the ground!' Kagome thought happily.

Inuyasha was happy to have Kagome on his lap too, but he wasn't going to show it any time soon.

"Sorry Shippo interrupted today Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered carefully.

"That's ok. We'll get more chances." Kagome said, digging herself even deeper into his warm lap.

"Inuyasha?... Kagome began cautiously, "Can we go to my time for a visit soon?"

"Feh. I don't see what's so special about your family. Can't you just wait until we find a few more shards?" He said, annoyed.

"But... Maybe you wouldn't understand. I MISS them." She said sadly, "I haven't seen them in at least 3 months."

"Aren't I enough?" He whimpered sarcastically.

"But you are not my mother!" Kagome said, temporarily forgetting the fact that mothers were a sensitive subject for Inuyasha.

"I will never understand what it is with you and your mother." Inuyasha said coldly, this time not faking the edge in his voice.

"How come you never let me go home! You always try to stop me!" Kagome was getting annoyed, Inuyasha had to let her go home. 'It's been 3 months!' She thought.

"Because..." He started, his voice faltering, "You are the only person I think about at night. When I run through the woods, I think of you. The only other person that has given me the love you have is my mother, and she is dead. I need you Kagome."

He choked several times on his words, letting Kagome know it was the truth.

"I would never leave you!" She whispered, trying to cheer up the hanyou.

Inuyasha sighed, looking off into the distance. Kagome watched him closely, analyzing his every move.

"I don't have to go home if you don't want me to." She sighed, also looking out at the beautiful mountains.

The sun was just disappearing behind the horizon of snow-capped mountains. A flock of tiny blackbirds were trying to find a tree to shelter them for the night. Far off in the distance, Kagome heard a waterfall, beating onto unseen rocks.

The sun caught the amber in Inuyasha's eyes and made a subtle flicker before it disappeared over the horizon.

Whereas just moments before, the couple had been bickering, they were both silenced by the power of the scene they had witnessed. Years later, each still remember that moment, the moment all their worries were washed away.

"Shall we try again?" her voice was hushed, not wanting to completely disturb the sleeping world.

Inuyasha didn't need to respond. He simply leaned over her and kissed her forehead. He was heading for her lips when...

"Awwww." They both jumped to see Sango sitting behind a bush.

"Oops!" Sango gasped. "Did I say that out loud... I was just guarding, in case you two got interrupted again..."

"Well, you interrupted!" Kagome said annoyed. This was the third time they had been interrupted. It seemed that someone up there had it out for them. She was exasperated.

"Why me!!!!" she shouted helplessly, awaking a flock of birds in a nearby tree.

"Come on Kagome, we'll go somewhere else." Inuyasha whispered in her ear. It was his turn to be consoling her for once.

He picked her up in his arms and launched off of the tree branch. 'Feh, and I thought I could at least trust Sango!' Inuyasha complained to himself.

Kagome smiled up at her Inuyasha, her shoulder to cry on, her mate.

Shortly, Inuyasha placed Kagome in a comfortable cave on the side of a very tall cliff. She was happy that Inuyasha was able to find a place like this.

We can stay here for the night he said, sitting on the earthen floor of the cave.

~*~*~*~Meanwhile~*~*~*~

Sango had shaken Miroku awake.

"I think this time they are mad. You do notice that this is the 3rd time we have interrupted them!?"

"Hai, as much as I hate to say... I believe that we should lay off them for a while, give them some time alone." Said Miroku, much to Sango's surprise. "They are quite cute together, wouldn't want to ruin such a good thing."

"I am worried though... that Inuyasha is not letting Kagome go back to her family. I heard them talking... I hadn't realized it's been three months since she last visited them."

"It has been that long already, I had not realized... poor Lady Kagome."

"Hai."

~*~*~*~Back at the cave~*~*~*~

"Arigato, Inuyasha." Kagome cooed.

"Don't they understand what alone means?" Inuyasha complained, "Is it forbidden for us to have a few moments alone."

Kagome sat down on his lap, facing him.

"I don't think they do, Inuyasha." Kagome whispered, looking deep into his eyes. "Especially Shippo, he views me as his mother, and therefore does not respect my privacy. I didn't mind until now, but even Sango!"

"We are alone now anyway." Inuyasha was now looking straight back into Kagome's chestnut eyes, smiling.

"You look even more handsome when you smile." She said seductively.

"Maybe I should smile more often..." he suggested, smiling wider.

Kagome pulled him off the wall so that she was on top of him. And you can probably guess...
"KAGOOOOMEEEEEEE." Kagome jumped off of Inuyasha like he was a snake.

"Who.what.where.how.when?!" she blurted, looking wildly around.
That's all for today. Mwah ha ha... I LOVE writing cliffhangers. This was an especially long chapter since ffn wouldn't let me post for a while. I have another subject for reviews which is the idea of a daily romance fic. If you have suggestions, interest or want to be part of the writing part, review. If you want to be part of it, this is just a heads up, but you have to submit a sample of your Inu romance writing. I will make some regulations if I actually decide to do it, and later, I'll decide who gets to be part of the group. Oh, this will be fun! Also, comments on this chapter would be great too! Ja!
