CHAPTER 17
~*~*~*AUTHOR'S POV*~*~*~
It would be an understatement to say that Kagome was a little upset about Gingira being here. Sure she wanted Inuyasha to be happy, but she had always thought (just a bit of her mind was telling her how selfish she was in thinking this) that she'd be part of his happiness if not the one to finally make him happy. Kagome wanted to be the one to help him, to heal his wounded heart. (A/N: sound familiar? ^_~)
Sitting around the fire, Kagome stared into the flames, her eyes glazed over, remembering all the times Inuyasha had been there for her and the times he had been sweet and gentle even though he brushed it off with his trademark 'Feh'. Kagome looked up at Gingira. It was almost as if they had traded places.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha was completely stumped by Kagome's constantly changing aura. One moment her aura would be warm and soothing, filled with happiness, then the next moment dark and cold, tinted with jealousy, giving him and uncomfortable feeling of nostalgia. Right now it was the latter of the two. What did she have to be jealous of anyway?
He looked around at the people sitting around the fire. Nah, she wouldn't be jealous of the hag, who wants to be that old and ugly anyways? Hmmm, she wouldn't be jealous of the exterminator, she had lost everything. The kitsune? Being young is nice, but she doesn't have to worry about looking like the hag for a good sixty years or so. (A/N: hehe, sorry bout being so mean to poor old kaede, it's not her fault she is how she is ^^;; ) He looked over at the monk. Maybe she has feelings for the monk! She was jealous because the monk only had eyes for the exterminator! It seemed like a semi-logical explanation, but even though Inuyasha was a little proud of himself for figuring it out, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy when he came to that conclusion.
"Grrr, damn pervert," he muttered unintentionally, earning a few odd looks from his companions. "W-what the hell are you idiots looking at?" he snapped at them.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Gingira looked at Inuyasha. Jealousy? She carefully followed his gaze and was shocked to find that it was locked on Kagome. What is going on? The spell should have completely erased his memory of that bitch! He couldn't be getting them back could he? Gingira looked down at her hands. I'm a almost a gingitsune damnit...how could that spell start deteriorating? The spell was even used with the help of shards from the Shikon no Tama! Sesshoumaru-sama will not pleased when he finds out...if he finds out. She thought, smirking.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ahem," Miroku cleared his throat for the eighth time, finally managing to capture everyone's attention. "Everyone, I would like you all to know, that my dear Sango has finally agreed to bear my children!"
Sango flushed a deep red. "Miroku! Did you HAVE to say it like THAT??" she hissed.
"Ah, so you are willing, ne? Don't worry, I won't make you wait too long," he replied with a wink, making Sango blush a darker shade of red.
"Wow! Congratulations Sango! You'll be a great mom!" Kagome exclaimed happily. "Hang on, you guys ARE getting married right?"
Sango glared at Miroku for a second before glaring at her friend. "Of course we're getting married! What kind of a woman do you think I am??" -.- ;;
"Eheheheheh...So when's the wedding?"
"Hey, will there be lots of food? Like good food I mean, like candy and chocolate bars!" Shippou asked excitedly.
Inuyasha's ears perked up. "And ramen?"
"You guys, you can't serve food like that at a wedding!!" Kagome huffed. "Men. Come on Sango, let's talk about your wedding at the hot spring, ok?"
"Sure Kagome," Sango stood up. "And don't you dare peak at us Miroku!" Miroku grabbed Sango's arm and quickly kissed her softly on the lips before letting her go. Sango stood rooted to the spot, her eyes wide and her lips tingling. A soft smile appeared on her face before she snapped back to reality and quickly left, following Kagome to the hot spring.
Miroku's expression fell and he sat back down. "What's the point of getting engaged if she still won't let me have a little fun?"
Inuyasha shook his head and hopped up into his tree. Gingira sat frozen to the spot with an expression of shock. 'This is the kind of company he stays in? And what the hell is a ramen?'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Aah, I'm never gonna get tired of these," Kagome sighed contentedly as she slid into the heated water.
Sango smiled. "So Kagome, how have things between you and Inuyasha going? I saw that time you guys were hugging!"
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"That time in Kaede's hut. You were just waking up after you had fainted when Inuyasha attacked us and he was there hugging you!"
"No, we weren't hugging. I actually stood up and he was there somehow and caught me." Kagome replied softly, but that set off a number of questions in her head. Why was he there anyway? Why would he care? He's changed so much, but why? And how does he not remember me?
"Sure, if you say so," said Sango, completely unconvinced. "Anyways, who is Gingira? Do you know her from somewhere?"
Kagome's smile faded. "No, but Inuyasha seems to know her well though."
Sango immediately regretted bring up the kitsune when she saw Kagome's face. "Uh, about my wedding, what kind of kimono do you think would suit me?" she asked, changing the subject.
Kagome forced a smile and joined Sango in planning the wedding.
