Chapter 7: The Morning Schedule
Inuyasha awoke the next morning to someone knocking on his door. Reluctantly he managed to drag himself out of bed and to the door. He was still half asleep when he answered it.
"Ya" was Inuyasha's greeting as he tried to wipe sleep from his eye.
"Morning Inu…Do you usually wear that to bed?"
Inuyasha was wide awake now as he focused his eyes on the source of the voice. Kagome was pointing at his waist while she gave him a mischievous grin. He looked down and noticed all he had on was a towel. He blushed then ran to his room quickly while holding the towel securely around him.
Kagome giggled at his embarrassment as she closed the door behind her and Shippo. They sat on the couch and waited for Inuyasha to return. Kagome decided to think back to what she had just saw. 'Gods is he well built. All those muscles. He looks so handsome when he's not all bandaged up. With that long, silver hair and gold eyes of his, he's even more attractive. Plus, he's been polite and nice lately, must be the altered memory that's changed him. I think I love him even more for coming here. (Sigh) But what I would do just to have his body against mine.' The click of the door brought her out of her daydream just in time to see Inuyasha exiting his bedroom.
Inuyasha walked up, bent over in front of Kagome and whispered into her ear. "Actually the towel was a bit more then I usually where to bed, in this time." He then sat on the couch next to her as he let her contemplate his words. It was now her turn to blush and she did. He smiled slightly at the color that was tinting her cheeks. "So Shippo do you have another memory as well?"
"Ya, but it sucks." Shippo hung his head in sadness. "My parents were robbed and murdered about a week ago and I was put into an orphanage here I asked to be placed at the Sunrise Shrine. I knew I would find you there and I did." He looked between Kagome and Inuyasha with the world's biggest grin.
"Hey Shippo…I have an idea…why don't you go get Sango and Miroku, they live next door on both sides of he hall." Inuyasha urged the Kitsune boy. "Sango's on the right and Miroku is on the left. Hurry up, ok." They watched the kid bounce out of the room happily. "Um……Kagome?"
"Yes?" Kagome turned toward her now dressed boyfriend and found his face was extremely close to her own. Her eyes went wide as she realized what he was going to do. 'Our first kiss, finally.' Kagome closed her eyes and waited for the moment when Inuyasha's lips would finally touch hers. She could feel his breath on her lips and knew he was very close. She wanted to reach up and pull him to her but she restrained herself. 'If he doesn't kiss me within the next 5 seconds, I'm going-'
*RING*RING*THUMP*
Inuyasha fell off the couch at hearing the phone ring. 'DAMN IT, who could it be now?' He picked himself up off the floor and went to answer the phone.
Kagome leaned back on the couch and glared at the hanyou. She was mildly humored when he shrugged and answered the phone.
"Moshi moshi?...Ohayo okasan! Hai……I'm still planning on coming out…you already sent it?......ok……Can I bring some friends…ya…there's someone special I want you to meet……maybe, most likely…Ya I bet she's excited…ok… hai……Aishiteru…see you soon. Ja!" Inuyasha hung up the phone and turned to find Kagome giggling quietly. "What's so funny?"
"You are."
"Huh?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow in inquiry then took a seat next to her. He watched as she continued to laugh. "Kagome?"
"Seeing you using modern technology is so…so…weird. I remember trying to teach you how to open a bag of chips And now your making tea, answering the phone. Whats next, you working a pc?" Kagome resumed her giggling.
"Ano……Kagome…I do have a laptop over on the desk." Inuyasha told her bluntly as he pointed toward his desk.
Kagome ceased her laughing immediately and looked at him with a blank expression. "Oh……so anyways what did you mother have to say?"
"Oh ya! Do you think your mom will let yu and Shippo go with me today. I'm going out to Kyoto to see my parents." Inuyasha asked her, a little excited about her meating his parents.
Kagome saw the hope in his eyes and smiled at him. "Let me go call her." Kagome stood up and went to the phone. Just as her mom picked up, Shippo bounded into the room. So it took all her effort to listen to her mother.
"Oi, Kagome guess what?" quizzed Shippo.
Kagome placed a finger to her lips in order to shhhh him. "Hai okasan… Ya were still at Inuyasha's……Hey okasan, we've been invited to his parents house in Kyoto, can we go?...Hai……Hai…We will……Arigato, aishiteru, bye bye!" kagome hung up the phone and turned to the hanyou and youkai. "We can go!"
"GREAT! The car will be here soon. I'll go get Miroku and Sango." Inuyasha quickly left the apartment, leaving Kagome blinking in surprise.
"Kagome…What's going on?" Shippo asked from his seated position on the couch.
"We're going over to visit Inuyasha's family, but you need to behave ok!" Kagome told the little kitsune. She was relieved when he nodded in acknowledgement. "Good, now we wait for the car."
Inuyasha burst back into the apartment and ran to his bedroom. He returned a few minutes later with a duffle bag. "I have to carry Tetsusaiga in this so I don't get into trouble. Well, let's go wait outside for the car." Inuyasha directed the two out into the hall where Sango and Miroku were waiting. He quickly locked the door and they all went downstairs to wait for the car.
About fifteen minutes of waiting and the car pulled up to the curb. "A limo?!" Kagome stood staring, chin practicly resting on the sidewalk. They were all introduced to Kibun the driver, then loaded into the limo and were off to Kyoto.
~***~
Kagome stared out the window at the passing sceanary, many thoughts and questions running through her mind.
"Penny for your thoughts?"
"Then I would be the richest woman alive." Kagome looked over at her inquisitive boyfriend and smiles. "I was mostly wondering about everyone from the past that weren't with you when you used the jewel. Were they transported too? Did they stay in the past and grow old?Have any of them been reborn? What's become of Kaede, Kouga, Sesshoumaru, Rin, Kikyo……"
"WHOA, Kagome slow down. I can actually answer most of thos questions if you'll let me." Inuyasha was now faced with a very excited and interested girlfriend. "I believe that everyone stayed int eh past. But I can guarantee you that so far some have already been reincarnated. They have the same names and looks, but the attitudes are different and they don't remember the past that we do."
"So who is accounted for so far?" Asked Miroku, who had been listening intently the whole time.
"Well, before I moved to Tokyo I actually went to school with Kouga. He's now major LARP (Live Action Role Play) fanatic. My brother is here too. He's a couple years older. His mother died giving birth to him. Thank Kami-sama he's not the same guy as he was in the past." Inuyasha shuddered at that thought. "Hmmm, oh, Jaken is out gardener, oddly enough….I think that's it so far."
Sango was the next to speak. "So we still have a few people to find…too bad they won't remember us. At least we'll feel better after we find them though."
Everyone nodded teir heads in agreement. They then fell quiet as they enjoyed the long ride to Kyoto. Even Shippo was behaving.
