*****************Chapter 13: Humor in the Fin

Kagome stirred, the sun was right in her eyes. She sat up and she found she was in bed. She fwumped' back down into her pillow and sighed. It had only been a dream, Kikyo was not dead and Naraku was not pinned to a tree outside her house. Inu-yasha was not here, and the snow storm never happened. She closed her eyes, she and Inu-yasha never confessed their love for each other. She choked back tears, it had been so real. Someone was knocking on her door.

Come in! She pulled her sheets up to her face, and Kaede came through, holding a tray of what looked like white kitsune, her favorite. So the dream had been real, Inu-yasha said he loved her, Kikyo was at rest and Naraku's curse upon Miroku, Sango and Kohaku were broken. She shifted uncomfortably as Kaede put down the tray. She wasn't sure she did the right thing by shooting Naraku.

She looked up and smiled.

Yes, dear?

Where is Inu-yasha? Kaede's smile faltered.

He's outside, ripping apart Naraku...

He's WHAT?! She jumped out of bed and ran down the stairs. She flung the door open, to find Inu-yasha with his hand poised to strike. He turned, smelling Kagome.

Inu-yasha! SIT! She almost laughed at the look on his face as he got pummeled into the snow, it was a mix of horror and confusion.

He said, mouth full of snow. She knelt beside him, her eyes glimmering. He started to get up, but she grabbed his rosary.

He blurted as she dragged him back down, her head in his chest.

Who knew I could fall in love with a smelly, violent, self-centered, dog-breathed jerk?! She was still hugging him around the neck. He just sat there, shocked. His eyes were bugged, nd his hand went to her back.

And who knew I could fall for a selfish, bratty, childish little girl. She brought her head up, and smiled.

Who'd you tell THAT to?

You, remember, the first couple days.

She giggled *gah! don't DO that!* and tugged at his rosary. He looked at her, she was smiling evilly. She was going to sit' him, he knew it, but then she did something that amazed him. She still had her hands on the rosary when she lifted it off his chest and pulled it over his head. She looked up at him, smiling at his dumb-founded face.

You're now officially free! She smiled and wrapped the rosary around her wrist. As she was concentrating on her rosary, Inu-yasha smirked. Now that he was free, he could try some---- things that, well he'd usually get sat for. Kagome blushed a deep cherry, concentrating on her freezing legs. Inu-yasha reached for her, to bring her into a rough kiss, but as he did so she stood up, leaving him in a very bad mood, but followed her inside all the same. He looked away, grumbling.

Kagome walked into the Kitchen and found Miroku and Sango, doing something very... Kagome cleared her throat and the two stopped their lip-locking to face her, Sango's face was very red.

Miroku, I'm assuming your hand is erm, lifted? He smiled and lifted up his left hand. The brace was gone, and out of instinct, Inu-yasha jumped behind the nearest solid object- Kagome. She gave him a look and went closer to examine his hand. It was completely healed, but he had a large scar.

Sango, where's Kohaku? She smiled.

He's in your room, playing with Buyo. She giggled at this and returned to her work. Kagome rolled her eyes and she and Inu-yasha went back upstairs to check on Kohaku. He was wearing his exterminator clothes and his Chain sickle was on the floor. He was scratching Buyo on the head. Kirara was watching in what seemed to be jealousy. He smiled up at Kagome as she walked in.

Hello, my name is K-

Kohaku, yes your sister told me.

Is this your cat?

Yes, his name is Buyo. She smiled warmly at him. You look uncomfortable in those exterminator clothes, do you want to borrow some of Sota's? You look his size.

He sprang up. Yes Ma'am!

You can call me Kagome.

She went to go get clothes from Sota's closet, when a strong hand grabbed her arm and spun her around.

She gasped, as he pressed his lips forcefully against her own. She was stiff with shock, but after a few moments, she relaxed into him and they stood there, kissing in her brother's room. It was her first time making out, but she got used to it. When they broke apart for air, she was out of breath, gazing up at him. He was waiting for a response, she knew it. She caught her breath and hugged him, the hardest she could managed, her face breaking into an unstoppable smile. She couldn't control herself, she was just so happy. Kohaku was standing at the door when they broke the hug. She nodded to him and handed him a red T-shirt with blue shorts and a baseball cap. He looked down at the clothes and gave Kagome a questioning look. She smiled and forgot that he probably didn't know how to put them on. Kagome called to Sango, who came up the stairs, her face redder than before, and when Kagome explained the situation to her, she went into Kagome's room to change. Inu-yasha growled when they left.





What, I was enjoying a moment when he showed up. She gave him an all-too-familiar look that said if-you-had-the-rosary-I'd-sit-you.

Inu-yasha, this rosary, we should put it to use, don't you think? He backed away, a look of pure terror on his face.

No, not on you, now get back here!

Then who?

Well, your brother still has that temper problem, doesn't he? She gave him an evil smirk. Think we could manage getting it on him? But Inu-yasha wasn't listening. He was wearing the evilest of all evil grins.
