Needing Her-5
Chapter 5
They landed in the well a few seconds later. It was dark at the bottom but streams of light could be seen above them.
"You okay?" Kagome asked.
"Feh, I'm fine wench." He said but steadied himself with the wall of the well. There was a long silence then footsteps could be heard coming into the well shrine doors.
"Buyo?" They both heard Souta call out. "Hey ! Kagome you're back! Inuyasha! Oh this is so cool!"
They jumped out of the well, Inuyasha fell back in but Kagome helped him back up. She held his hand leading him to the house.
"Kagome?" Souta asked.
"Yes?"
"Are you going to marry Inuyasha?"
"..." She and Inuyasha both were blushing crimson.
"Well, you're holding his hand." He pursued.
"Souta...Inuyasha won't be able to see for a little while." Kagome said quietly.
"Why?" Souta looked at Inuyasha, who wasn't looking at anything, just straight ahead.
"Because he got hurt in his time." She said a little harshly, trying to get the questions to stop.
"What happened?" Souta continued
~sigh~
"Nothing too bad." She squeezed his hand. "But don't worry, some of our friends went to get the cure." "Oh, okay. Don't worry Inuyasha, we'll help you until you can see again!" Souta yelled happily.
"Yeah...sure." Inuyasha hung his head I little lower. Kagome, noticing this, felt great pity for him, but she knew he didn't want pity, so she wouldn't show it. They stepped into the house and Inuyasha snapped his head and sniffed the air. He smelled food. Ramen.
"Kagome dear! I saw you walking and put some ramen in the microwave for Inuyasha." She looked down at their holding hands. "Kagome! You finally got the courage! Will I be expecting any grandchildren soon?"
Once again Inuyasha and Kagome turned a flaming colour of red. Inuyasha and Kagome both looked a little uneasy. Inuyasha snapped his hand back and folded his arms across his chest with a 'humph.'
Kagome glared at her mother for ruining a good moment with Inuyasha. He started to walk into the kitchen butt tripped over one of Buyo's toys and slipped backwards, right onto his butt. If Inuyasha could he would have glared at the white tiles of her kitchen floor.
Ms. H seemed a little worried as she helped up what she hoped would be her son-in-law soon.
Kagome lead Inuyasha into the kitchen to let him eat some lunch. They all sat at the table eating while Kagome explained to her mother and Souta what had happened to make Inuyasha go blind.
"B-But that means you two aren't together?!" Ms. H's eyes grew large and watery as she faked a whimper. Kagome always fell for this look and quickly ran through all the idea's in her head.
"W-Well, not right now at least!" Kagome said and frantically looked around for something that may distract her mother from she and Inuyasha.
"Oh ok." Ms. H said with excitement.
"MOM!" Kagome shouted as she realized she had been tricked.
"Well, I just want some grandchildren before I get to old and senile like your grandfather ya know." She smiled at her raging daughter.
Later that day after they ate dinner, Inuyasha laid on the floor with his back against the wall in Kagome's room with his eyes closed, thinking. 'Why is she always so caring towards me when I am so cruel? Why am I still cruel in this time? There are no dangers here like in my time. I do not have to make it seem like I hate her to protect her in this time. She probably only pities me though.'
"What am I thinking, she probably hates my guts for how I sometimes treat her..." he whispered to himself.
Just then Kagome walked out of her bathroom and over to her dresser pulling out a pair of silk pajamas. She turned around, ready to change when she let out a blood curdling scream making Inuyasha jump to his feet.
"Oh GOD! It's only you Inuyasha." She panted in relief.
"What did I do?!" He asked sounding scared.
"Nothing." She said quickly.
"Why did you scream?"
"Oh I just thought you were down stairs, I didn't know you were up here that's all." She said turning back around, grabbing her clothes and opening the door to her bathroom again.
"Well, sorry."
"Wha-?" She almost didn't believe her ears. Inuyasha just apologized, that didn't happen much.
"Can I talk to you when you get back?" He asked.
"Uh, sure." She said and pulled the creaking door open more.
"Why don't you just get changed in here? I'm blind remember?" He said and moved his unfocused gaze towards her.
"Ummm.........I guess that's alright." She said. Inuyasha knew she had a bright blush staining her features. "Well, what was it you wanted to ask me?"
"Why have you been taking care of me, and no lying." He asked.
"Yaaaawn! Cause' I worry and care for u I guesssss....." She said almost drifting off to sleep.
"She worries for me?" 'You're too kind for your own good Kagome.' Inuyasha chuckled as he too fell asleep, still leaning on the wall.
In the middle of the night, Inuyasha was awoken by the sound of shifting blankets and a shivering Kagome. He got up and used the wall to find the bed then took off his red haori. Reaching out to know where she was he found her bare shoulder and slung the haori over her small body. He still had his hand on Kagome's shoulder when he felt her snuggle into the warmth but her bare legs still cold, he found out as he lightly reached down to find the covers.
Not finding any he cursed Kagome's kicking in her sleep and laid down behind her, feeling his way around her then pulled her close. Her back pressed to his chest. Almost instantly she reacted by flipping over and cuddling as close as possible to him.
When Inuyasha was sure she was warm he tried to get up so he wouldn't be sat a bazillion times in the morning but found that she held onto his waist.
"Stay." She mumbled.
"How long have you been awake?" He asked with a smile.
"Since I felt your haori." She laughed.
"Feh." But he laid back down, not cuddling close to her to protect his pride. Kagome was a little upset by that but she knew how to fix it. She began to pretend she was cold and shook her arms as if frozen. Like she had planned, Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close again. 'He's probably just acting nice because he's blind and I've been helping him. Yeah, that must be it....' They both fell back asleep, not to be awoken until morning.
