Chapter Thirty Five: Surfing? Internet? DVD? Microwave?!
**********************************************
Kagome just sighed as Inuyasha continued to talk to her. Right after they had entered Inuyasha's den, he had made her sit in his lap, holding Sly. After that, he started to talk to her non-stop while ignoring Sly.
She just wanted to go to sleep! "Inuyasha, please! Can't we talk sometime after sunrise? I'm tired and I just want to go to sleep."
"Keh! Yeah, well I said no five minutes ago. You are staying up with me." he protested.
Kagome sighed again. "Why? Why are you keeping me up?" She was curious. He wasn't shouting at her to stay up, but every time she stopped talking, he'd make her start talking again. "Are you afraid to be alone?"
Inuyasha frowned at her. "No." he tried to growl. "But puppies need more sleep than us, and he isn't going to be able to sleep in absolute silence."
Kagome looked at the faint outline of Sly. She could barely see anything in Inuyasha's place, it was just so dark. 'Oh, right...he mentioned how scary he thought the sound of silence was.' "So, we're actually talking so he doesn't wake up?"
"Yeah, now talk about something again, already." Inuyasha started to yawn before he caught himself. Nope, he had to stay alert to keep Kagome up. They could sleep tomorrow when they were in better shape.
"About what?" Kagome asked. "I've already told you everything I can think of."
Inuyasha blinked. "Damn. I didn't know humans didn't have that much brain room."
Kagome suddenly perked up at that statement. 'Dammit, if Kawayou wasn't sleeping I'd-' "We have enough brain room." she said dangerously through her teeth.
"Then come up with somethin'. I don't care what it is." Inuyasha replied as he held Kagome steady.
Kagome reluctantly stopped her fidgeting. "Inuyasha, I need to stretch!"
"Voice down. Pup's sleeping, remember?" Inuyasha replied calmly. "You can stretch in the morning, now just talk."
'Talk, talk, talk...' Kagome thought frustratingly. '...what am I gonna talk about?...' Then, a weird thought occured in her head. 'Well, Inuyasha did say anything...' "About a month ago I saw this dark satin blue dress I wanted to buy, but it was for about two hundred dollars, so I decided not to...but then, I heard it became 50% off so I went back to get it, but they didn't have it in my size."
"..." Inuyasha was silent for a moment. "Why the **** would I care about that?!" he whispered harshly in her ear.
"You're the one who said talk about anything." Kagome replied calmly. She smiled at Inuyasha's reaction and decided she'd continue to tell him stuff he wouldn't even care about.
It was fun.
"About two months ago, Kawayou and I had gone to a Mickey D's and ordered a couple of Mcmuffins with Egg and Cheese. Then we took them home and ate while he watched his Saturday morning cartoons. It was good." Kagome smiled at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha just stared at her. He didn't know what she meant by half of her statement.
Kagome lightly giggled to herself. She didn't care if she was acting like a juvenile. 'So what if I like to see Inuyasha squirm to understand what I'm talking about? Girls my age have done much worser stuff...'
Inuyasha was getting tired of not understanding. "What the **** did you just mean by-"
"Oh yeah, and then there was the time..." she interrupted him, as she tried to conceal her laughter. "...when I was surfing on the internet with my laptop and Kawayou and his friend Syaoran came in. They had just finished watching a Yu-Gi-Oh DVD and had decided they should see if I would nuke them some Mac and Cheese in the microwave for them."
Kagome couldn't help but grin as she saw the expression on Inuyasha's face. She knew that a ton of those words he had never even heard before.
"*****!" Inuyasha shouted, before he remembered Sly was still sleeping. "You know very well that I don't know half the **** you just said." he tried to growl.
Kagome shrugged her shoulders. "You never said you had to understand, you just said talk." She started to feel her tummy shake a little with her barely concealed laughter. "So I talked."
Inuyasha tried to growl again, but his human growls just didn't have the right effect against anyone. "Talk about something I understand."
"You talk." Kagome said as she arched her back and laid her head on Inuyasha's chest. Oh, how she just wanted to stretch.
Inuyasha's eyes widened a little. Having Kagome arch his back on him made him feel a little...funny.
"Come on already." Kagome pushed against the hanyou some more.
"..." Inuyasha cleared his throat and tried to focus. He wasn't exactly sure if he disliked her stretching... but the more she stretched, the more likely Sly would wake up. And since he didn't know if his pup was a light sleeper or not, he thought better of it. "What did I say about stretching, wench?"
Kagome sighed. "Fine, I'll stop if you talk."
"Fine." Inuyasha thought about what he could tell her. Then, amidst his thinking something hit him.
"Hey, does our pup sleep hard?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha. "Hard? You mean, if the house was on fire would he wake up?" she laughed lightly. "Sort of. Certain sounds will wake him right up. Other than that, he wouldn't budge." She looked away at the outline of her son. Sometimes he even sleeps with his tongue lolling out of his mouth."
Inuyasha smiled. "Yeah, I saw that. Guess he got it from you."
Kagome's mouth dropped open. "Me?!" She harshly whispered. "Inuyasha, he got that from you!"
"Me? Nah, I don't sleep like that. It's weird, so it must've come from your weird genes." Inuyasha replied matter of factly.
Kagome was about to say something in protest but Inuyasha interrupted again. This time making a comment she really didn't need to hear.
"When can we go throught that ceremony?"
"What ceremony?" she asked.
Inuyasha looked at her as if she playing dumb. "That ceremony Kouga wanted to do with you." He looked at her seriously. "The ceremony that makes you MINE for good."
Kagome hit her head. 'Oh, Kami. I should've known he'd bring that up again.'
Kagome looked down at her sleeping son. "He's one in a million."
Inuyasha continued to look at her. "You're changing the subject."
Kagome sighed. "Inuyasha, I can't talk about this right now. We should talk face to face about this, but it's just too dark."
"Then light a stick of fire." Inuyasha grumbled.
"Inuyasha, I don't have any matches. So, can we save this for later?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha grumbled. 'Why does she have to see me to talk about this? Is it part of their stupid traditions?'
Kagome looked down at her son again as she brushed his long black hair. "Inuyasha, if anything ever happens to us...what will happen to Kawayou?"
Inuyasha suddenly grew silent. He didn't know how to respond to that. He didn't even want to THINK about that. Knowing that his pup might wake up if he didn't make noise he started to tap one of his fingers on one of Sly's overall buttons. 'Why the **** did she have to say that? Right now of all times?!'
Not hearing Inuyasha's response, Kagome started to regret her question. But, as she had sat talking with Inuyasha while holding Kawayou, her mind had started to drift toward Shippou and how he had lost his parents. 'What if that happens to him? Who would watch over him?' She closed her eyes. 'What if he had to grow up alone, like Inuyasha?'
"Nothing. Will. Happen." Inuyasha answered back firmly. "I'm going to be here for him, always. Nothing's gonna happen to me."
Kagome had felt some relief in his statement, but then she started to feel a lot of dread at some of his words..."Inuyasha, you keep saying you'll be there for him...and that nothing will happen to you..." her voice suddenly became quiet. "What about...me?"
'Oh ****! How the **** could I have said that?!' Inuyasha scolded himself. He hadn't wanted Kagome to figure it out yet...
...not yet...
"Inuyasha..." she replied calmly. "When I first came through the well and met Shippou, he still seemed like such a young child..." She looked up at the dark outline of Inuyasha's face. "...yet more than five years later, he still looks exactly the same."
'****!****!****!' Inuyasha thought. 'She had figured it out?!'
"Inuyasha how old, in demon terms, will Kawayou be when I'm gone?" she asked. 'I have to know. I need to know...'
"..."
"Will he be more like a teenager?"
"..."
"Will he be more like a ten or eleven year old?"
"..."
"Inuyasha, tell me!" she shouted, forgetting about the sleeping 1/4 demon. She had to know!
Inuyasha looked down at his pup to make sure he didn't wake up. Yep, Kagome had been right. He was still out cold. "...I don't know..."
"What? What do you mean you don't know?" Kagome asked.
"All demons are different, Kagome." Inuyasha finally answered. "Some can live tens of hundreds of years...some only live a few hundred...some only a hundred..."
Kagome listened intently. "And Kawayou? How long will he live? And where will he be in his life span when I'm...gone?"
Inuyasha made his best imitation of a growl. Which soon became a real growl, as he realized the first rays of sun had come finally.
He was a hanyou once again...
He looked quickly down at Sly and sighed in relief.
Sly had his dog-like ears back as well as his claws. Inuyasha would even bet he got his fangs back as well as the true color of his eyes.
Kagome's eyes were wide open at her son's transformation. "He's back...just like you?" she looked back at Inuyasha. "But how? I thought...well, he lost his power-I...huh?!"
Inuyasha just looked at Kagome and smiled. "Who knows and who cares. Pups back to normal, and that's all that matters."
Kagome just looked at her son again. "I know, but...same as you? Isn't that a bit...odd?"
Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know but at least this makes it easier on him. He doesn't have to transform alone."
Kagome still didn't understand why her son who was a 1/4, was changing at the rate of a hanyou? "I thought it'd be longer though, I-"
Inuyasha started to pick Kagome up and rise. "Whatever, it's over."
As he lifted Kagome and Sly, Kagome's eyes grew wide as she looked at his den.
"What?! What is up with-?!"
"Protection." Inuyasha replied without even looking at what she saw. He already knew.
Kagome's eyes just continued to wander around the den and looked at all the dangerous and SHARP weapons. "Inuyasha, we could've cut our-!"
"That's why I told you not to move." Inuyasha growled at her accusation of him beig careless. "What, you think when I'm human I just depend on my useless body to fight? **** no, bitch. Now don't touch anything, you'll cut yourself and then feel real stupid."
Kagome ignored his comment. She was just glad to finally be able to stand up and stretch. She watched as Sly started to scratch his ear. "....Inuyasha?"
"What?" Inuyasha answered as he stepped out into the sun. 'Yes! It's good to be my self again!'
"...Inuyasha?....do you know how old he'll be?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha growled. He knew she was referring back to the question he hadn't answered. "No."
"Well, is there a way to...to find out?" she asked timidly as Sly finally started to wriggle.
Inuyasha closed his eyes. "Yeah...but we'll have to travel a LOT farther from your stupid well..." he looked back at her. "You want to know that bad?" Secretly, Inuyasha was very ready to take her away. After all, the well was still closed (hopefully). 'What are the chances that wolf was lying though?' he growled to himself as he thought of Kouga telling her her time was just fine. 'Probably not good, but **** it. If she believes it, that's all that matters.' Thoughout the entire night he never mentioned Kouga to her. Never mentioned how he felt about her and their pup when they were taken away. And he DEFINITELY didn't mention what he was going to do when he thought he lost him. 'Have to make sure NO ONE else squeals either.' he thought as he remembered Sango, Shippou, and Miroku.
He wasn't going to dwell on it with Kagome or his pup. But that didn't mean 'out of sight, out of mind'.
...FAR from it.
"Well?" Inuyasha grumbled, trying not to show how much he favored her leaving the well.
Kagome sighed as Sly had finally opened his eyes blearily. "...mornin'..."
Kagome bent her head down in thought. 'To leave the well...to know for sure...'
She looked down at her son as he wriggled free of her grasp.
"Oh, **** yeah!" Sly shouted as he instantly knew why he had suddenly felt comfortable. "I'm back to my old self momma!"
Kagome smiled at her son, then looked at Inuyasha...
She thought about the shikon shards...
the well...
Kouga on the other side...
"When we find out, we are coming back." she said firmly.
Inuyasha grinned smugly as he looked at Kagome.
Kagome smiled down nervously at her son. "Sweety...we're going to take a longer trip than we previously thought."
