Chapter 21:
They left the town, which was now joyous that the curse was lifted. "They deserved that curse." Kagome said under her breath, "She was abused and scorned by them. She died alone." The others were a little downcast as they traveled down the dirt path because of her attitude that day. If Kagome, their sunshine and cheeriness, was upset everyone else was. "Well we did all we could do to help I guess."
"Kagome cheer up." The little kitsune said. She looked up at him and smiled lightly.
"Well there's another village up this path. We should reach there by tomorrow. We'll have to sleep under the stars tonight." Kagome didn't mind; she actually loved watching the night sky. One thing she didn't enjoy was that Inuyasha would sleep up in a tree not anywhere near the group. He was like their guard dog after all. His keen senses were meant to be used for that sort of thing. It was getting dark and Inuyasha found a good campsite with water very nearby.
"This is nice, ne Kagome-chan?"
"Hai, too bad there isn't a hot spring around here." She sighed, "I could use one of those."
"Me too, but the lake will have to do." The two girls walked to a secluded spot in the lake, surrounded by bushes.
"Why don't you try to cheer her up?" Miroku asked Inuyasha. Inuyasha who was already comfortable in a tree barked:
"What the hell could I do to help? She'll only sit me if I tried anything."
"For some reason that woman's death hurt her emotionally."
"Why?"
"Maybe, oh I don't know! I can't figure women out." 'What can I do to cheer her up?' Inuyasha thought as he looked at the stars. Then he glanced at a field where there were beautiful wild flowers. He then remembered Kouga giving her some weed-like ones before and it made her happy. 'Flowers, eh?' He decided what he was going to do after the others had gone to sleep. Inuyasha curled up in the tree thinking about his little plan.
The girls came back refreshed, but Inuyasha took in account his love still had the remnants of sorrow traced on her face. "Here I'll cook something quick and easy that everyone will like." She boiled some water and poured in the ingredients. Inuyasha's nose instantly smelled his favorite smell in the world. He jumped down quickly from his perch.
"Ramen!" She smiled and handed him a bowl and he slurped it down in a heartbeat. The others just looked at the greedy hanyou as he grunted and gulped it down. "Arigato." He left and climbed back up into the tree.
"Are you sure you're not part cat youkai?" Kagome called.
"Keh! Yeah right!" She sighed and finished eating her ramen.
"Well I'm going to bed. Goodnight everyone." She crawled into her sleeping bed and quickly shut her drooping eyes.
"Might as well follow her lead." Miroku stated. He leaned up against a tree and fell asleep and Sango retreated to her sleeping bag as well. A certain hanyou waited until all his comrades and love were serenely sleeping. He quietly went to the field to collect flowers for his depressed Kagome. 'Now which ones?' He picked one up and sniffed it.
"Achoo! That smells like shit! Achoo!" He went on and picked a different one and it reminded him of the scent of her skin. Inuyasha picked a bouquet of those and threw in a few more for variety. After he was done, he quickly, but quietly tip-toed over to Kagome's side. "Kagome? Wake up..." He gently tapped her shoulder and she opened her sleepy eyes.
"Huh? Inuyasha?" She sat up.
"I need to talk to you." He had the bouquet hidden behind his back in one hand and his other hand held hers.
"Inuyasha what is the meaning of this?" She had wrapped the sleeping bag around her and wobbled about with that around her.
"Sit." She sat down and he sat behind her. They were sitting by a beautiful clear stream that reflected the stars. "Here." Inuyasha handed her the bouquet. Her chestnut colored eyes lit up.
"They're beautiful! Why did you?"
"Cuz well..." He stuttered.
"Well?"
"I thought they might cheer you up." Tears brimmed in her eyes and she leaned over to him and kissed his cheek. He was taken aback by her sudden reaction, but it was just what he had hoped for.
"Thank you. I'll always remember this. This is the nicest thing you've ever done for me." She started to get teary-eyed again.
"Don't cry. It's not a big deal." She looked up at him; he wiped the tears from her face. "Now what has gotten my Kagome so pissed off?"
"Lovely word choice," She giggled, "Well it's that woman. She died alone and I dunno. I wondered what it must have been like for her, being alone and rejected her whole life. I don't want to end up like that."
"Now why the hell would you end up like her? You have me, ne? You'll never be alone. I'll always be here."
"Arigato, that's what I needed to hear." She kissed his lips and broke away, making him moan for more. "I need some rest and you do too." She got up; he had grabbed her hand.
"No, not yet."
"What are you trying to get me to do, mister?"
"Nothing." He pouted and gave her his puppy dog eyes. She couldn't resist and she flung herself at him. She brushed his hair out of his face and gazed into his golden eyes. Kagome was on top of him and started nibbling his furry ear and then she moved down to his lips. Both parted their lips and slid each other's tongue in. Inuyasha rolled onto Kagome now, him on top. They both hurriedly undid their clothing and wrestled in the sleeping bag. 'This was his motive.' Kagome smiled as he worked her body, letting out moans and groans. 'Talk about cheering me up.'
