Chapter?: The Kawaiiness of Shippo
_______________________________________________________________________________
Kagome entered the kitchen with Inuyasha and her grandfather. Her mother was at the stove, cooking a large quantity of Ramen, obviously remembering what Inuyasha liked. Shippo sat perched on Mrs.Higurashi's shoulder, while Souta waited at the table, rather impatiently.
"Onee-chan, Shippo is afraid of all my video games, and the T.V, and the light switch.", Souta looked to his sister for comfort.
"Shipppo, none of the things Souta shows you can hurt you.", At the sound of Kagome's voice, Shippo leaped from Mrs.Higurashi, to his usual perch on Kagome.
"OH SWEETY! You didn't tell me you brought another friend with you this time! Souta showed it to me! Its got such a KAWAII little tail! IT IS JUST SOOOOOOOOO Kawaii!!", Mrs.Higurashi exclaimed, as she carried two steaming bowls of Ramen to the table.
'RAMEN! theres some ramen...I want to eat the ramen..Would kagome be mad if I ate the ramen now?' Inuyasha tried his very best to not leap onto the bowls of ramen and devour them whole.
Kagome saw Inuyasha's excited expression, and she saw him looking longingly at the ramen. "Inuyasha, no, just wait! We will eat soon!", she whispered it so that only he would hear. She like being able to say things to him without anyone else hearing, it was a definite advantage of being hanyou.She grabbed hold of his arm, for extra restraint.
"Alright Alright, I'll wait!", he practicaly growled out stubbornly.
"Good."
Kagome's grandfather sat down at the table beside Souta, watching a seemingly silent conversation take part between his
grandaughter and the hanyou. He could tell they were discussing something, Kagome's lips moved ever so silently, though her face was stern. The hanyou seemed defensive, but he did catch a few of his words..something about waiting. By the way the hanyou was looking at the ramen, he could only assume that it had something to do with it.
"Why don't you two sit down?" he suggested.
"Um, I think it would be best if Inuyasha stayed a safe distance away from the ramen, untill everyone is ready to eat...", Kagome explained.
"Yeah Inuyasha would eat the whole thing!", Shippo added, hoping to agitate Inuyasha.
"Feh.", Inuyasha removed his arm from Kagome's grip and crossed his arms over his chest defensively. He knew he hadn't said much since he got here, but the truth was, he was beyond nervous. This was Kagome's family, and Kagome was now his mate, and that made this almost his family. It was realy important to him that they accepted him, and liked him. He was pretty sure that throwing Shippo into a wall would not help them with that, so he ignored the comment from him. He didn't want to mess anything up by saying something wrong, and he knew just as well as anyone, that he was realy good at saying the wrong thing.
"Don't worry everyone! The rest of the ramen is almost done! In fact, I think it just finished! Souta, can you come and help me carry it to the table?", Mrs.Higurashi turned cheerifuly to look at her son.
"um..sure mom..", Souta got up and helped his mother carry the ramen to the table.
'hmm..thats enough ramen for everyone..I get to eat now..don't I?', Inuyasha looked to Kagome for approval.
"Come on Inuyasha, we can si-", catching herself before she accidently said 'the word', she rephrased her sentence, much to Inuyasha's relief, "We can eat now."
So they all sat down to eat, Inuyasha beside Kagome, Kagome beside her mother, her mother beside Souta, and Souta beside Jii-chan. Shippo, of course, sat in Kagome's lap. Kagome placed a bowl of ramen on the floor and sat Shipp down to eat it there, as he was far from being big enough to eat at the table.
"So, sweety, Souta tells me that you didn't even explain to him about why you look so different! Can I tell him? PLEASE! I know I got to tell jii-chan, but still! PLEASE Kagome? Can I!?", Mrs.Higurashi looked like a small child begging for some candy..actualy, she looked like a certain little kitsune begging for candy.
"Umm, sure mom, of course you can!", she relied with exagerated happiness, and then in a hanyou whisper, she added to Inuyasha, "if it makes you that freakin happy."
Inuyasha smirked slightly, feeling a little more comfortable.
"OH YAY! Thank you sweety! Okay! You know that jewel Kagome has been trying to complete?", she paused, waiting on Souta to nod, "Well, they finaly completed it! Yes! My little baby completed the jewel! And she killed an evil demon!", Mrs.Higurashi beamed with motherly pride," Well, like Kagome has said before, when you complete this jewel you can make a wish! So she wished to be a hanyou! And know her and Inuyasha are mates! Isn't that terrific!", Mrs.Higurashi smiled brightly.
"Onee-chan, didn't you say that it could only make demons stronger?", Souta asked, confused, and a bit more rational than his mother.
"Yes, but, I figured, that, if it could make Inuyasha a full demon, and he is a half demon, that it has the power to make a human into a half demon.", Kagome explained and took a bite of ramen.
"But, isn't it true that no good can come from a wish on the Shikon No Tama? According to what limited information you have told me, shouldn't it have made you turn evil or something?", Jii-chan asked, remembering what he had heard.
"Not if its a pure wish, and, apparently, mine was, I didn't wish it so that I could be stronger, or kill easier, I didn't wish it for what the four souls considered selfish reasons..I did it so that I could be with the one I love..and, obviouslythey thought that was pure enough..", a faint blush had made itself visable on Kagome's face, more than likely from relating her love for Inuyasha.
"Oh..", breathed Jii-chan and Souta in unision, Mrs.Higurashi just continued to smile, Shippo and Inuyasha ate their ramen heartily, seemingly oblivious to the conversation going on.
"I'm just SOO happy for you sweety! You have lived your own little fairy tale!", Mrs. Higurashi exclaimed joyously.
'I wander what exactly SHE hears when I tell her about how I almost get killed by demons..of course, that does happen frequently..my mother is sure optimistic..', Kagome thought as she smiled at her mother.
Souta and Jii-chan seemed satisfied enough with Kagome's explanation and had began to eat much like Inuyasha and Shippo, except more polite.
"Now Kagome, do tell me about this kawaii little kiddy you brought with you this time!", Mrs. Higurashi glanced girlishly at the kitsune gobbling up the ramen, "My! He sure can eat!"
"Oh, thats just Shippo, hes a kitsune, hes part of our group, actualy, hes been around us even longer than Sango and Miroku, now that I think about it, I'm kind of like a mother to him.."
Shippo smiled up at Kagome, taking a break from the bowl of Ramen..'Yay, Kagome loves me!'..
"Hey Shippo, do a trick for my mom! Change into something, or someone.", Kagome suggested, realizing how much her mother would probably love to see it.
"Alright Kagome!", After finaly deciding on something, Shippo turned into Kaede, of course, this Kaede had a small bushy tail..but it still looked like Kaede.
"Kaede? You picked Kaede?", Kagome questioned, somewhat surprised to see the form of the old miko standing so close to her.
"OW WOW! THATS AMAZING!!! You are just SOOOOO Kawai!", Mrs.Higurashi exclaimed.
'I hope shes talking about Shippo and not Kaede..'. Kagome mused.
"Thats pretty cool Shippo, can you turn into anything?", Souta asked, interested, while Jii-chan looked as if he were about to have a heart attack.
"Yep! I can turn into anything!,", came the voice of Kaede from Shippo.
Finaly, Inuyasha looked up from his now empty bowl, and looked to see what all the fuss was about..'Kaede? What the hell is she doing here..oh wait, Kaede doesn't have a tail..must be Shippo..'. Suddenly, he got an idea.
"Hey Shippo, do me a favor, could you please say 'Inuyasha, you are the greatest, most talented creature in the world, and I bow at your feet, as I am just an ugly old women?'", asked Inuyasha somewhat timidly, as he glanced at Kagome in hopes of not seeing any disapproval. Thankfully, Kagome's eyes only glowed with amusement.
"Why should I do a favor for YOU Inuyasha?"
"Oh, come on Shippo-chan, do it for me!", Kagome pleaded.
"okay..I'll do it for you Kagome..."
All eyes were on Shippo, waiting for the form of Kaede to say those words..Shippo sighed.
"Inuyasha, you are the greatest, most talented creature in the world, I bow at your feet, as I am just an ugly old women."
Inuyasha almost choked as he tried to contain his laughter, of course, the sight of Kaede speaking of her inferiority to the great Inuyasha, was just too much for him, not to mention Kagome. They both died out laughing, Mrs.Higurashi even joined in the laughter, even though she didn't get it, but she was just the kind of person to laugh when other people are laughing.
Souta and Jii-chan looked confused, but then went back to their ramen, assuming that they would just rather NOT know.
Shippo changed back to his regular old kawai self, and continued to eat his ramen.
"Wow, he is just soo Kawaaiii! Kagome? Can I keep him!?", Mrs.Higurashi asked, as Shippo got a look of pure horror and almost choked on his ramen.
"Umm..sorry mom..but, no..you can't keep Shippo..", She sweat dropped, and Inuyasha lost the hopeful look in his eyes.
"Oh well...", Mrs.Higurashi looked momentarily sad, and then went back to being eerily happy, "Oh, Sweety! I just love your hair that color! And your ears are just adorible!"
"Thanks mom.."
And so the dinner went on, Inuyasha sat patiently, well patient for him, having finished his ramen, as Kagome politely ate her own, as well as the rest of the people who had not yet finished. Little conversation was had, most of it concerning the kawainess of Shippo.
________________________________________________________________________
"Well mom, since dinners done, you don't mind if I go take a bath, do you?", Kagome asked as she stood from her place at the table.
"OF COURSE NOT SWEETY! You may live with doggy boy now, but this will always be your home!", Mrs.Higurashi exclaimed, as always, enthusiasticaly.
"Great..umm..Inuyasha, try to stay out of trouble while I'm busy, hand me my backpack."
"feh, I wont get in any trouble! I left you bag by the door.."
"Great, I wont be long..Um..will you be ok Shippo?"
Shippo eyed Mrs.Higurashi somewhat wearily.."I'll be fine Kagome....", and then whispering as Kagome had earlier with Inuyasha, he added, "as long as your mom doesn't hug me to death.."
"Good.."
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Kagome left Inuyasha and her family to go retrieve her bag. Grabbing it, she ran up to the bathroom and locked the door. She pulled the fire rat Kimono Inuyasha had given her out of her bag and placed it beside her towel. Removing her kimono, she slipped into the bath tub and turned on the warm water. She tried to hear what Inuyasha was doing, oddly enough, she didn't hear his voice along with the rest of her family. She did hear them though, her mother telling everyone how great her little girl's change was, and going on and on about how kawaii Shippo was..
She sniffed the air, getting better at being able to judge distance by just a scent. She tried to smell Inuyasha over the scent of strawberry bubble bath and clean water, not to mention the smell of vanilla air freshener. The smell of all those scents together was not very pleasant, although, without her hanyou senses, she would have never noticed anything but the strawberry bubble bath. Finaly, she placed Inuyasha's scent, which was surprisingly close.
"Inuyasha?", she called out queitly, not quiet trusting her senses yet, and needing proof.
After a moment of silence, Inuyasha finaly answered, "What? Your getting better at the scent thing ya know it?"
She relaxed back into the water, "What are you doing?"
"leaning against the door.", he answered nonchalantly.
"Oh...why?"
"Be glad you locked the door or I'd be in there...", he paused, and then, somewhat reluctantly answered her question..
"I didn't want to be left alone with your family..."
"Whats wrong with my family?!", she asked defensively, "At least my family isn't Seshoumaru!"
He sighed."Its not that Kagome, I just don't want to say something wrong. I don't want them to hate me, we BOTH know I never say the right thing.."
"Inuyasha, Jii-chan accepts you, your Souta's hero, and my mother, well..my mother is my mother and we both now that she would accept you, even if YOU WERE Seshoumaru...as it is, she doesn't just accept you, she adores you and thinks your just as kawai as Shippo", Kagome comforted, dipping her head into the water to wash her hair, emerging her head from the water, she continued, "Speaking of Shippo, I can't believe you left him alone with my mother...she REALY MIGHT hug him to death.."
"Feh...he could always turn into Kaede-baba, NO ONE would hug him then.", snorted Inuyasha from outside the door, regaining some of his..inuyashaness.
Kagome giggled at the idea of her mother hugging Kaede.
"But..if ya want me to, I'll go and make sure Shippo stays alive.."
"Thanks Inuyasha.."
"Feh.."
Soon she heard his almost silent footsteps, and she smelt his scent diminish.
Trying to relax, and block out all the voices coming from the kitchen, mostly consisting of the word Kawai
squeled excitedly, used in reference to Shippo, and of course, by her mother,
Kagome continued with her bath.
***
Kagome's bath lasted much longer than she had expected, as almost thirty minutes had went by by the time she got out. It had just been so relaxing and the water so soothing, everything was so perfectly wanderful, except of course all the wanderful smells mixing together to create such an awful one..
She put on the red fire rat Kimono, happy to find that it was just as soft as Inuyasha's haori. Looking in the mirror, she realized it was also very beautiful, small white flowers were placed randomly on the upper half. She grabbed a brush and began to brush her long white hair straight, for the first time realizing that, not only had turning hanyou changed
the color, but had given it a few extra inches in length as well. After some considering, she decided to leave it down the way she used to before her change, instead of putting it in a pony tail as she had been lately.
Satisfied, she unlocked the door and went to find her family.
______________________________________________________________________
Entering the living room, she was relieved to find Shippo still alive, and Inuyasha sitting calmly on the couch, although looking very uncomfortable. Shippo was sitting barely 3 feet away from the T.V with Souta, obviously amazed at the little people inside the box. Mrs.Higurashi was sitting down by Inuyasha, ever so often reaching over and touching his ears, and Jii-chan sat reading in a chair.
Catching Kagome's scent, relief immediatly flooded Inuyasha, and he turned to see her enter the room, wearing the red fire rat Kimono he had found for her, she had also left her hair down. 'She looks so beautiful..'
"OH SWEETY! YOU LOOK SOOOOO LOVELY IN THAT KIMONO! I'M SOOOO HAPPY YOU GOT ANOTHER ONE!, and this one is even more beautiful than the last one!", Mrs.Higurashi exclaimed as she noticed her daughter standing in the doorway.
"Umm..thanks mom..", she muttered, noticing Inuyasha staring at her strangely..'why is he looking at me like that?',"Um..Inuyasha? Is something wrong?"
Startled, Inuyasha realized he had been staring.."Feh..", he grumbled, then mumbled almost silently, "I can't help it that your so damn beautiful..", momentarily forgetting she could hear him queit well with her hanyou ears..
Kagome was at first startled to hear him say that, and then she realized he hadn't even meant for her to hear. She giggled.
Inuyasha heard her giggling and wandered what could be so funny..'Oh..yeah..she's hanyou, she probably heard me..oops..", "Damn hanyou hearing..", he grumbled, making Kagome giggle even more.
Mrs.Higurashi had no idea why her daughter was giggling, but she didn't care, so she just smiled, "Kagome! please come sit down and join us!"
Kagome made her way over to her mother, intending to sit beside her, however, those thoughts were soon forgotten as she found herself in Inuyasha's lap. She looked at him questioningly. He shrugged, and whispered to her, "There is no way in hell I'm letting your mother sit between us, she keeps touching my fucking ears, maybe with you here she'll touch yours instead.."
Kagome giggled at Inuyasha's reasoning, but found it to be queit accurate when her mother began to touch her ears. Not minding too much, she leaned into her hand and made a soft purring noise. Inuyasha smirked and put his arms around Kagome's waist, drawing her closer to him.
So they sat that way, watching T.V, Kagome purring ever so softly, thankfully so softly that Mrs.Higurashi didn't notice, because, had she noticed that her daughter was purring, well, we don't even want to think what would happen then. And the day passed, no meaningful or significant conversations being had, only non-important chatter, and of course, more ramen was ate for supper, and eventualy, night fell, and it was soon time to go to bed.
__________________________________________________________________________________
"Kagome, I'm getting tired, I'm gonna sleep in Souta's room if thats okay with you..". Shippo informed, giving Kagome his
cutest look.
"Sure, thats fine Shippo-chan, Mom and Jii-chan already went to bed, Souta, you need to go to sleep as well."
"Fine onee-chan...",agreed Souta, knowing he was lucky that Kagome had let him stay up this late, two hours past his regular bed time.
"Goodnight Souta, Goodnight Shippo.", Kagome patted the little kitsune on the head as he hugged her leg and then left with Souta.
"Inuyasha?", Kagome started, turning to look at the aformentioned hanyou, "I'm actualy kind of sleepy too, do you mind if we go to bed now..?"
"Feh, your hanyou but you still want to sleep all the time.", he complained, but began walking to Kagome's room anyway.
***
Kagome realy was queit sleepy, she walked rather drowsily to her room, and basicaly colapsed on her bed. Inuyasha smirked and arranged her body more comfortably, with her legs actualy ON the bed. He pulled the covers up over her and then lay down with her, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her body closer to his own.
"Inuyasha..you were right about the smells here, the air stinks here, it smells like...filth..", she informed, fighting to stay awake just so she could relate this news to him.
"I'm always right."
"Of course you are Inuyasha..", she replied dryly, before relaxing with the intent of falling asleep.
Inuyasha lay there a while, just breathing in the scent of her, untill he realized something was different about her scent. Slightly, but unmistakably different..Something almost..enticing? Inhaling again, he realized what it was. He grinned.
'Should I tell her? She'll probably sit me and break her bed if I do..then again, the look on her face would be worth it,
shit, I can't even see her face right now...should I tell her? Shes my mate, I can tell her whatever I want to!"
"Hey Kagome?", he smirked evily.
"uh huh?", she answered groggily.
"Your in heat."

"Well mom, since dinners done, you don't mind if I go take a bath, do you?", Kagome asked as she stood from her place at the table.
"OF COURSE NOT SWEETY! You may live with doggy boy now, but this will always be your home!", Mrs.Higurashi exclaimed, as always, enthusiasticaly.
"Great..umm..Inuyasha, try to stay out of trouble while I'm busy, hand me my backpack."
"feh, I wont get in any trouble! I left you bag by the door.."

She pulled the fire rat Kimono Inuyasha had given her out of her bag and placed it beside her towel. Removing her kimono, she slipped into the bath tub and turned on the warm water. She tried to hear what Inuyasha was doing, oddly enough, she didn't hear his voice along with the rest of her family. She did hear them though, her mother telling everyone how great her little girl's change was, and going on and on about how kawaii Shippo was..
She sniffed the air, getting better at being able to judge distance by just a scent. She tried to smell Inuyasha over the scent of strawberry bubble bath and clean water, not to mention the smell of vanilla air freshener. The smell of all those scents together was not very pleasant, although, without her hanyou senses, she would have never noticed anything but the strawberry bubble bath. Finaly, she placed Inuyasha's scent, which was surprisingly close.
"Inuyasha?", she called out queitly, not quiet trusting her senses yet, and needing proof.
After a moment of silence, Inuyasha finaly answered, "What? Your getting better at the scent thing ya know it?"
She relaxed back into the water, "What are you doing?"
"leaning against the door.", he answered nonchalantly.
"Oh...why?"
"Be glad you locked the door or I'd be in there...", he paused, and then, somewhat reluctantly answered her question..
"I didn't want to be left alone with your family..."
"Whats wrong with my family?!", she asked defensively, "At least my family isn't Seshoumaru!"
He sighed."Its not that Kagome, I just don't want to say something wrong. I don't want them to hate me, we BOTH know I never say the right thing.."
"Inuyasha, Jii-chan accepts you, your Souta's hero, and my mother, well..my mother is my mother and we both now that she would accept you, even if YOU WERE Seshoumaru...as it is, she doesn't just accept you, she adores you and thinks your just as kawai as Shippo", Kagome comforted, dipping her head into the water to wash her hair, emerging her head from the water, she continued, "Speaking of Shippo, I can't believe you left him alone with my mother...she REALY MIGHT hug him to death.."
"Feh...he could always turn into Kaede-baba, NO ONE would hug him then.", snorted Inuyasha from outside the door, regaining some of his..inuyashaness.
Kagome giggled at the idea of her mother hugging Kaede.
"But..if ya want me to, I'll go and make sure Shippo stays alive.."
"Thanks Inuyasha.."
"Feh.."
Soon she heard his almost silent footsteps, and she smelt his scent diminish.
Trying to relax, and block out all the voices coming from the kitchen, mostly consisting of the word Kawai
squeled excitedly, used in reference to Shippo, and of course, by her mother,
Kagome continued with her bath.
***
Kagome's bath lasted much longer than she had expected, as almost thirty minutes had went by by the time she got out. It had just been so relaxing and the water so soothing, everything was so perfectly wanderful, except of course all the wanderful smells mixing together to create such an awful one..
She put on the red fire rat Kimono, happy to find that it was just as soft as Inuyasha's haori. Looking in the mirror, she realized it was also very beautiful, small white flowers were placed randomly on the upper half. She grabbed a brush and began to brush her long white hair straight, for the first time realizing that, not only had turning hanyou changed
the color, but had given it a few extra inches in length as well. After some considering, she decided to leave it down the way she used to before her change, instead of putting it in a pony tail as she had been lately.
Satisfied, she unlocked the door and went to find her family.
______________________________________________________________________
Entering the living room, she was relieved to find Shippo still alive, and Inuyasha sitting calmly on the couch, although looking very uncomfortable. Shippo was sitting barely 3 feet away from the T.V with Souta, obviously amazed at the little people inside the box. Mrs.Higurashi was sitting down by Inuyasha, ever so often reaching over and touching his ears, and Jii-chan sat reading in a chair.
Catching Kagome's scent, relief immediatly flooded Inuyasha, and he turned to see her enter the room, wearing the red fire rat Kimono he had found for her, she had also left her hair down. 'She looks so beautiful..'
"OH SWEETY! YOU LOOK SOOOOO LOVELY IN THAT KIMONO! I'M SOOOO HAPPY YOU GOT ANOTHER ONE!, and this one is even more beautiful than the last one!", Mrs.Higurashi exclaimed as she noticed her daughter standing in the doorway.
"Umm..thanks mom..", she muttered, noticing Inuyasha staring at her strangely..'why is he looking at me like that?',"Um..Inuyasha? Is something wrong?"
Startled, Inuyasha realized he had been staring.."Feh..", he grumbled, then mumbled almost silently, "I can't help it that your so damn beautiful..", momentarily forgetting she could hear him queit well with her hanyou ears..
Kagome was at first startled to hear him say that, and then she realized he hadn't even meant for her to hear. She giggled.
Inuyasha heard her giggling and wandered what could be so funny..'Oh..yeah..she's hanyou, she probably heard me..oops..", "Damn hanyou hearing..", he grumbled, making Kagome giggle even more.
Mrs.Higurashi had no idea why her daughter was giggling, but she didn't care, so she just smiled, "Kagome! please come sit down and join us!"
Kagome made her way over to her mother, intending to sit beside her, however, those thoughts were soon forgotten as she found herself in Inuyasha's lap. She looked at him questioningly. He shrugged, and whispered to her, "There is no way in hell I'm letting your mother sit between us, she keeps touching my fucking ears, maybe with you here she'll touch yours instead.."
Kagome giggled at Inuyasha's reasoning, but found it to be queit accurate when her mother began to touch her ears. Not minding too much, she leaned into her hand and made a soft purring noise. Inuyasha smirked and put his arms around Kagome's waist, drawing her closer to him.
So they sat that way, watching T.V, Kagome purring ever so softly, thankfully so softly that Mrs.Higurashi didn't notice, because, had she noticed that her daughter was purring, well, we don't even want to think what would happen then. And the day passed, no meaningful or significant conversations being had, only non-important chatter, and of course, more ramen was ate for supper, and eventualy, night fell, and it was soon time to go to bed.
__________________________________________________________________________________
"Kagome, I'm getting tired, I'm gonna sleep in Souta's room if thats okay with you..". Shippo informed, giving Kagome his
cutest look.
"Sure, thats fine Shippo-chan, Mom and Jii-chan already went to bed, Souta, you need to go to sleep as well."
"Fine onee-chan...",agreed Souta, knowing he was lucky that Kagome had let him stay up this late, two hours past his regular bed time.
"Goodnight Souta, Goodnight Shippo.", Kagome patted the little kitsune on the head as he hugged her leg and then left with Souta.
"Inuyasha?", Kagome started, turning to look at the aformentioned hanyou, "I'm actualy kind of sleepy too, do you mind if we go to bed now..?"
"Feh, your hanyou but you still want to sleep all the time.", he complained, but began walking to Kagome's room anyway.
***
Kagome realy was queit sleepy, she walked rather drowsily to her room, and basicaly colapsed on her bed. Inuyasha smirked and arranged her body more comfortably, with her legs actualy ON the bed. He pulled the covers up over her and then lay down with her, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her body closer to his own.
"Inuyasha..you were right about the smells here, the air stinks here, it smells like...filth..", she informed, fighting to stay awake just so she could relate this news to him.
"I'm always right."
"Of course you are Inuyasha..", she replied dryly, before relaxing with the intent of falling asleep.
Inuyasha lay there a while, just breathing in the scent of her, untill he realized something was different about her scent. Slightly, but unmistakably different..Something almost..enticing? Inhaling again, he realized what it was. He grinned.
'Should I tell her? She'll probably sit me and break her bed if I do..then again, the look on her face would be worth it,
shit, I can't even see her face right now...should I tell her? Shes my mate, I can tell her whatever I want to!"
"Hey Kagome?", he smirked evily.
"uh huh?", she answered groggily.
"Your in heat."
