Chapter Six: I Gotta Tell You Something
Kagome stretched her arms up over her head, softly letting out a quiet yawn in the process. She fluttered her eyes open and found she was staring at the ceiling. After a few moments, Kagome felt a slight breath upon her shoulder. The breath would then draw in, making her hair quaver back and forth. She turned her head slightly to see who it was.
To her surprise, it was Inuyasha. He was now a half demon again. His long silver hair billowing over his shoulders and his fluffy white ears were some of his best features. Although, his most beautiful feature would have to be his piercing amber eyes. Even though she could not see them now, for his eyes were closed, she knew that they were there, and that when they reopened, they would pierce through her heart.
Kagome let out a sigh of enjoyment as she watched the hanyou sleep. She reached out her hand and trailed her fingers over his cheek softly. Before she could explore his features anymore, one of his hands reached up and grasped her hand tenderly. Inuyasha opened his eyes, revealing his enticing amber depths.
"Good morning." He whispered softly to her. They smiled at each other.
"Good morning." She replied. That's when it hit her. She unfastened her hand from his grip and roughly stroked her temple. "Is this wha a hangover feels like?" She questioned dazedly.
"You were pretty wasted last night. Maybe you should go take a cold bath." Inuyasha suggested. "Here, lemme help you up."
He placed one hand on her shoulder and wrapped his other arm around her waist. During the process of trying to lift her up off of the couch, he tripped over a stray video game controller of Souta's and toppled over backwards, taking Kagome along on top of him.
They landed together with her legs in between his. His hand had accidentally slid down to the swell of her hip. Her chin rested on his chiseled chest, peering up at him. They locked gazes with bright red blushes.
"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered huskily.
"Kagome." Inuyasha breathed nervously.
Kagome placed her hands on his chest and pushed upward so their faces were closer together. They both drew in their breaths as their lips grew closer together. Just as their mouths were centimeters apart, Souta ran through the room, stopping at the door when he saw them lying in top of each other. They both met gazes with her brother.
"Whoops... didn't mean to disturb you two or nothing..." Souta backed away from the door, giggling dumbfounded, and ran to the kitchen.
Kagome and Inuyasha locked eyes again and blushed terribly. She pushed up off of him and stood up. Inuyasha stood as well. They nervously looked away from each other and to the ground, shuffling their bare feet in the warm, soft carpet.
"Umm... I better go get that bath..." Kagome quavered and bit her lip.
"Ahh... yeah..." Inuyasha said. "D-do you need me to help you..." He asked her.
"Umm... n-no. I think I'll be fine." Kagome said quickly and sped off up the stairs, down the hall, and into the bathroom.
Inuyasha sighed in defeat and slumped down onto the couch to think. 'Were we really gonna kiss? Would she even want to kiss me? I have to tell her!' He thought to himself and slumped deeper into the soft cushion of the couch.
In the bathroom, Kagome turned the water on, making sure that it was cold. She would normally take a steaming hot bath, but since she had a hangover, and a terrible headache, she thought a cold bath would be best. She stripped of her clothes and stepped into the cold, shallow water. She sunk into in, splashing the water around her body.
'Were we really gonna kiss? Would he even want to kiss me? I wonder...' she thought to herself. She sighed in a slight sorrow and began to relax into the depths of the freezing ice of the water.
Once out of the bath, Kagome slung a white, soft towel around her body and walked out of the bathroom. She stopped abruptly when she met Inuyasha face to face with her.
"Inuyasha?" She said. Inuyasha placed his hands on her wet shoulders. Her long, wet, ebony hair tangled around his fingers as he spoke.
"Kagome! I gotta tell you something!" He almost shouted to her.
"Yes? What is it?" She asked confused.
"I... I... I lo..." He began but was immediately cut off of his words when Kagome's mother came up the stairs to greet them.
"Hey you two! How was the club last night?" Mrs. Higurashi questioned.
"Ahh... great! It was really fun Mom!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Glad to hear it! So, how's about you come to the boardwalk with us tonight? We'll eat out, play games, buy souvenirs, and walk along the beach? How does that sound?" Mrs. Higurashi asked her daughter and the half dog demon.
"Umm... sounds great Mom! I'll be ready in twenty minutes." Kagome stated. Her mother smiled gleefully and walked back downstairs. Kagome turned to Inuyasha. "Sorry, Inuyasha... I guess it'll have to wait. I gotta get ready!" Kagome then walked past him and into her room, closing the door behind her. Inuyasha kicked the floor and went back downstairs.
Inside her room, Kagome let her towel drop down to the floor in a small pile by her feet. She went over towards a drawer and took out some underwear, sliding them up her legs and over her hips. Then, she took out a bra and enlaced her chest with the soft cotton material. She then took out a tight, red tank top, pulling it over her head and down her arms. Kagome went to the closet and pulled out a short, pleated, black mini skirt, sort of like the one she wore for a school uniform, and slipped it up her legs and tied it behind her waist.
Kagome walked out of the door to her room and down the hall, greeted by her family, including Inuyasha.
"Ready, Hun?" Mrs. Higurashi asked her daughter. Kagome nodded and smiled. She then walked down the rest of the stairs and stood beside Inuyasha. They all then walked out of the house, ready for the boardwalk.
