Chapter Four
Dinner For The Family
Higurashi-sama walked up the stairs, walking with eased skill. She straightened her turtleneck sweater and dusted the imaginary dust off of her skirt. Once she reached the top, she started to stroll down the hallway towards Kagome's room.
She held a personal humidifier, a small pillow, and an herb in a jar, and a mug with dogs on it. "Kagome? Are you awake?" She pressed her ear to the door to hear strange sounds come from it. First there was a growl, and then there was a loud slamming noise, then there came a couple of muffled whispers.
Kagome's Perspective
He licked the side of my neck, sending a shiver down my spine in pleasure. He was mounted above me, while I was face down on the bed. The fabric of his haori tickled the side of my face as he bent down to kiss my cheek, when I whispered the dreaded word, "Osuwari."
He slammed to the side of the bed, nearly falling to the ground. I guess I wasn't ready for that kind of action just yet. Though I wanted it, I knew that, but for some reason, my body wouldn't accept it, and the warning signs buried deep in the back of my mind became louder and louder till I said the word.
"Gomen ne Inuyasha. I'm not ready for that kind of stuff just yet." I whispered helping him off of the sheets he had pulled down with his body while he hung at the side of the bed. He stared at me with pained eyes, but nodded, wrapping his arms around my middle.
At that moment, my mother came into the room.
Author's Perspective
Higurashi-sama walked into the room, a quizzical look etched onto her face. "Kagome? Inuyasha?" She questioned, setting the items she had in her hands down onto the chair to her right. She noticed the small tears that sparkled in her daughter's eyes, and the pained look in her opposite's.
"Are you alright?" She asked, walking towards Kagome and feeling her forehead, noting her swollen red lips and the faint pinkness to her cheeks. She did the same to Inuyasha. He however, looked very pale, and as if he was blank. His usual golden eyes were filled with some kind of sadness, but she couldn't tell what.
"I'm fine." Kagome replied, a sigh of relief, but didn't sound like it, came out of her mouth. She was glad that they had spread apart just at the moment she came inside, instantly saving a very embarrassing moment.
He nodded too, agreeing. "Well, Kagome, I have a humidifier for you to ease your throat pains, and here's an herb that will quiet your coughs. Here's an extra pillow for Inuyasha, and I'll get some hot water to put into the mug so you can mix it into a tea with the herb." Higurashi-sama said, and went out the door with the mug. She shut the door quietly, smiling as she looked back at Kagome.
Kagome joined Inuyasha on the bed, wrapping her arms around his head, and buried her face into the crook of his neck. He made no sounds of protest, but set her and himself into the blankets again, pulling slightly away. "Mm." She pressed her head towards his heart, to hear the heartbeat.
"You're still tired? Even after watching all of that shit in that box?" He asked her, rubbing his knuckles against the top of her head. She turned her head in disagreement and fingered with a lock of his long hair, staring at the amazing color.
"Stop fascinating at my hair." He grumbled, brushing her hand away. He was irritated. He thought his hair was ugly, and a disgrace that it was such a color. "Inuyasha, it's beautiful though. Mine is so plain looking compared to yours." She said, pointing to her own head of hair.
"Keh." He snorted, and turned over to his back. Kagome noticed that it had been ten minutes since her mother had gone downstairs to get her hot water. "Mama seems like she's stalling, I'll go get my hot water." She said, wrapping her winter fleece robe around her body, slipping her slippers on at the same time.
He just grunted as a response, and she shut the door, and ran down the stairs. She smiled at Jii-chan who waved a hello to her and Souta was playing his video games again. She walked into the kitchen, noting the smell of fried meat.
"Mama, can I have my hot water? My throat is hurting still. Mm, by the way, what's for dinner tonight?" Kagome asked, putting her head over her mother's shoulder.
(A/N: Kagome's mother will be referred to Mama from here on.)
"Oh! Kagome! I'm sorry; I forgot to give you the water. Tonight's dinner is Tonkatsu*." Mama said, handing her the mug of hot water she just poured in.
"Thanks Mama. When's dinner going to be ready?" She asked, walking up the stairs.
"In about twenty minutes. Okay?" Mama smiled at her daughter, and watched as she walked up the stairs. 'I'm going to have to talk to her about her relationship with Inuyasha.'
"Inuyasha? I'm back." She brought her hand to her mouth, coughing quickly. She set the hot water down onto a cloth that protected her desk from water stains.
"Took you long enough." He mumbled, sitting up. She started to pour the ground up leaves into the hot water, and mixed until it was a tea-like liquid.
"Ichi, ni, no san*!" She said, and pinched her nose while she chugged the liquid. After swallowing the brew, she sighed in relief, and stuck her tongue out childishly, disgusted with the taste.
"Does it really taste that bad?" He asked, strolling over to where she was standing. She nodded and cringed, still trying to get rid of the taste. "I'll go get a drink for you." He said, and ran out of her room.
"Thanks." She whispered and sat down at her desk, pulling her robe off and grabbing the humidifier. She noticed that it was already filled with water, so she wouldn't have to. A small compass like thing sat on top of it, and she realized it was how to read how dry or how humid the room was at the present.
Right now, it was a little dry, so she plugged it in next to her bed, and turned it on, finding it fascinating that the steam actually appeared. Inuyasha came back, with a small water bottle in his hand.
He handed it to her, opening the cap in the process. He stared at the humidifier, putting a finger over the steam. It wasn't hot, because the water wasn't hot. "What is it?" He asked, running his finger over the machine.
"It's called a humidifier. It controls how humid or dry the air is. So, I'm making it more humid because it's bad for my cough to be dry." She explained. He nodded, and sat down on her desk chair.
She drank from the bottle, closing her eyes as she did so. For some reason, closing your eyes while you drank seemed very natural to do. Even he did it himself when he drank something.
A call came from Mama downstairs. "Kagome, Inuyasha! Dinner is ready!" They both ran down, eager to eat. Souta sped towards the kitchen, turning the pause button on.
Kagome and Inuyasha were seated next to each other, while Jii-chan and Mama sat next to each other too. Souta was seated at Kagome and her mother's corner, while Buyo sat on the floor, waiting for the leftovers to come.
With a hearty "Itadakimasu!*", everyone started to eat. Kagome and Souta's chopsticks were blue and yellow, while Inuyasha's were red with a plastic design with geisha women at the top. Jii-chan* and Mama's were plain wood, with a dark ebony color. Buyo, well you wouldn't expect a cat to have eating utensils would you?
Everybody was at a healthy pace, occasionally taking a sip of tea or water in Souta's case, because, sometimes, tea gets annoying. "Shiawase*." Kagome mumbled as she ate happily. Inuyasha however, had a bright shine in his eyes, most likely meaning he loved the food.
Mama glanced over at her father, wondering for a second what he was folding in his lap. "What are you doing?" She hissed, trying not to arouse attention on her.
"Nothing." He grumbled, completing the small knot in the paper. He flicked it over to Inuyasha, chuckling as he did so. Inuyasha blinked at the small- knotted paper sitting in his lap.
He quickly unfolded it, making sure Kagome didn't notice. When he fully opened it, his eyes narrowed, glaring at the old man. It was an ofuda*. "Oi, Jii-jii*, what is the meaning of this?" He held the piece of paper between pointer finger and middle finger, waving it around in the air.
"WHAT? It didn't work!" Jii-chan stared in disbelief, bringing his hands to his cheeks. "Jii-chan." Kagome glared at him and snatched the ofuda* from Inuyasha's fingers. She crumpled it up into a small ball and smacked it at her grandfather's head.
"My precious ofuda*!" He cried unraveling the small ball. "Father, do try to cooperate." Mama sighed, and continued to eat. Souta began to snicker at his grandfather's odd behavior but resumed his eating.
"Gochisosama.*" Kagome said, standing up from her spot and piling the plates and bowls on top of each other. She walked to the sink and placed the plates there, turning the sink on.
"Oh, don't worry about that Kagome, I'll clean them later." Mama said, waving a hand. "Gochisosama." She also said, also bring her dishes to the sink. "Me too." Souta and Inuyasha said at once, handing their plates to Mama. Jii-chan also recited the word of thanks and went back into the living room.
"Mama, Papa's old clothes are in your closet correct?" Kagome asked, fingering with a lone strand of hair coming out of her ponytail. Her mother nodded, and Inuyasha followed, figuring she was getting clothes for him.
"Come on, follow me." She held his hand, pulling him eagerly. He walked faster, gripping.
"Okay, let me see." She kneeled down and opened the closet figuring the clothes would be at the bottom.
"Aha! Here it is. Papa's old clothes." She read the label and opened the plastic box, pulling out unopened pairs of boxers, undershirts, and socks. She opened one of the undershirt bags and held one up to Inuyasha's chest. She couldn't really tell because of his baggy haori covering his lean body.
"Take it off." She said, untying the small string that fastened the haori together. He blushed furiously, and brushed her hands away, taking it off himself. Now to his naked chest, she once again brought the white undershirt up to his chest, and measured to see if it fit right at first glance.
"Try it on." She said, flinging him the shirt. He glanced at it first, trying to figure out how to put it on. He put his head through one of the armholes, but then realized it wasn't right. So after a few more tries, he finally got it on, with Kagome's help of course.
"Okay, that's good. You can take it off now." She said, and handed him his haori again, helping him tie it back on. She now held up the boxers to his midsection, flushing a furious red while doing so.
"Um, I think that'll fit." She stammered, setting it onto her mother's flowery bedcover. She gave him the rest of the bags of underclothes and socks, and then dug through the closet some more for pajama pants.
After discovering a few pairs of plaid pajama pants, she held them up to his lower section now, measuring the front and the back. They seemed to appear okay to wear. "Now, pick which pants and shirt you want to wear as pajamas, remember, no socks, and then I'll set up a small bath for you, or do you want to shower?" She asked him.
"Uh, shower?" He picked a random word, not knowing what it meant. "Here, I'll show you how to use it." She pulled his hand again, this time, into the bathroom. (Some Japanese houses don't have a showerhead in their bathtub, so it's on this wall, but lower than our standards. There is a small faucet for washing, and then there is a showerhead attached to the wall. It's low though. The sink and stuff is separate at a different area.)
"Okay, here is the shower nozzle. I'll set it up for you so you don't have to. This is the body wash; you use a small amount and lather it up onto your body. Here is the shampoo, which you use to wash your hair. After you've rinsed off everything, here is the conditioner. Just spread a small amount around your hair and then let it sit for about two minutes. Then rinse everything off and call me for your towel and clothes." She explained.
He nodded his head. Kagome walked out of the bathroom, waiting in the next section for him to finish undressing so she could set up the shower for him. "Okay Kagome." He said as he wrapped a white fluffy towel around his lower sections for his modesty.
She opened the door, blinking at the naked but not totally un-concealed Inuyasha. She pushed the thought away and ran the water, pushing the small button down to start the shower mode.
"To turn it off, gently pull the button here up, and then it'll stop. Then push down the power. Okay?" She smiled at him, and let him to his privacy. He nodded, and waited till she fully exited the room. There was a small drum size light blue bucket next to him, and a small plastic stool he could sit on. There were assorted soaps and shampoos in there, so he picked the ones he was told to use.
There were several kinds of soaps; most were the same, but for different kinds of people. One had a picture of an herb on it, and he figured it was for the old man. Another one had a small fish on it, which was probably for Souta, and another one with a very flowery smell to it, which was most likely her mother's.
The one she told him to use was hers. It was a clear purple color, and smelled of jasmine and roses. The "conditiomery" stuff or whatever it was was the same but a different color. It seemed milkier. (It's conditioner, but his pronunciation isn't that good yet so, yeah.)
First, he took off the towel, flinging it to the side for now. He took the body wash, and glanced at it for a second. After a few tries on how to open it, he finally pulled the cap and it opened.
~*~
'Kagome has been in there for quite a while now.' He thought, scratching his chin, his head and body lain back on her bed.
The pajamas had fit and gave Kagome quite a shocker when she had seen him in them. He couldn't guess why she got all flustered and everything, besides, he wasn't like one of those 'cerebs' or whatever that Souta always talked about. (It's celebs, but he hasn't gotten everything right yet.)
It was very dark outside, but with the snow still falling, everything was white and was like a winter wonderland. The snowflakes glittered as the beam of lights from the streets and houses hit them. It was beautiful, he agreed, but seemed very familiar to him. Some memory probably.
There was a knock on the door that aroused him from his thoughts. "Inuyasha? Do you wish to sleep in the guest room or in Kagome's room?" Her mother asked him, holding out a pillow and a few blankets.
"In here will be fine." He said quietly, trying to think of a good explanation in the process.
She gave him an odd look and his flustered face gave away everything. "W- well, Kagome's scent kind of c-calms me down." He stuttered, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Alright, here, the blankets and the pillow. If you want anything more, like a blanket or an extra pillow or something, let me know." She smiled at him and shut the door, walking back downstairs.
After sighing in relief, Kagome came into the room, tresses rinsed and dried, a soft clean smell radiating off her. She had a gray shirt on with blue plaid pajama pants.
"Inuyasha, are you going to be sleeping here?" She asked as she sat down in front of her dresser, reaching for her comb.
He replied with a grunt and pillowed his head with his arms, closing his eyes. "Okay." She said, and resumed her combing. After finishing, she turned off the light, and crawled over his body.
Pulling the covers up to her chin, she kissed him goodnight and shut her eyes.
