~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Kagome woke up feeling very warm and content but she didn't know why until she opened her eyes and saw a red... something draped over her. Memories of the night before flooded back to her, Inuyasha had asked her to be his mate and she had accepted and now she was in the hideout of Inuyasha's uncle... the king of the youkai in Japan and he had jewel shard embedded in his head. On top of all that thy didn't know where Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Kirara were. Oh today was gonna be fun!
"Inuyasha," she said through a yawn while turning around. "Inuyasha, wake up."
His eyes were closed and his breathing was even.
That's odd. He never sleeps this much, she thought, so concerned with Inuyasha's strange behavior that she overlooked the lack of space between their faces. She shook him again.
"Inuyasha, wake up."
He muttered something incoherent then turned around. Kagome felt something slide off her waist when Inuyasha moved. Her face went slightly pink as she realized what it was. Apparently they had unconsciously moved closer during the night and Inuyasha had draped his arm around her. Well, she mentally sighed, at least she knew he wasn't dead.
She was peering over Inuyasha's shoulder at his face when she saw something move out of the corner of her eye. She looked but, to her relief, there was nothing moving there. Figuring that she imagined it, Kagome got back to work on the task at hand: waking up Inuyasha.
After several minutes of fruitless shaking and whispering, Kagome was contemplating splashing water from the bathroom on him when she saw the movement again. Turning her head she stubbornly insisted to herself that she didn't imagine it so she sat there quietly for a few minutes staring at the space by the back of Inuyasha's head willing the nuisance to show itself. She had almost given up and concluded that she was loosing her mind when Inuyasha's ears twitched and she found her culprit. Suddenly an mischievous grin appeared on her face.
She figured she might as well this was a once, no, she corrected herself, twice in lifetime opportunity.
Silently she reached over and gave Inuyasha's ears a little squeeze.
'I think they're softer than I remember. Of course being pinned to a tree for 50 wouldn't be great on fur.' She thought wryly. 'He must have washed them and that made them softer or something. I haven't touched them since the first time I saw him after all.'
She sat up so the ears would be easier to reach and began rubbing the base of them contentedly. This continued for several minutes and somewhere along the way Inuyasha began purring much to Kagome's delight.
'Kawaii! But as much fun as this is I have to stop and Inuyasha has to wake up'
She put her mouth right by his ears.
"Inuyasha, you have to wake up now. The ramen's ready and Shippou's gonna eat it all."
No reaction. That always worked even when he was unconscious.
"Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru's here and he's going to steal the Tetsusaiga."
(A.N. : Did I forget to mention that he put it next to the bed before he went to sleep. Hehehe)
Nothing. Kagome was beginning to think he was dead. Okay this calls for something drastic. She knew that she was going to regret this later but it had to be done.
"Inuyasha, Kikyou's here and to tell you she's gonna join forces with Naraku."
She sat up, closed her eyes, and waited for the string of curses that she was sure would follow but they never came. Still stunned she said the only other thing she could think that would bother the hanyou.
"Inuyasha, Kouga's here and he invited me to go stay with him. I'm leaving."
His eyes snapped open filled with anger and... panic?
"Like hell you are," He said sitting up. "You're mated to me remember!"
Kagome was still in shock from him not paying attention to the Kikyou thing but when he woke up like that at the mention of her leaving she was prepared to bet the Shikon Shards to Naraku that she was dreaming.
It was about then that Inuyasha realized he'd been tricked. He turned about five different colors before settling on a very pretty shade of pink. Luckily it was about that time that Emerald decided that they had slept for far too long and barged into the room.
"What are people still doing in bed? I would it expect it from Kagome maybe but Inu shame on you I've been up for hours. It's almost 3 o'clock!
Emerald was dressed the same as the day before and (Kagome noticed) she wasn't wearing that tiara her father made a fuss about.
"Actually I've been up for a while. I spent the last half an hour trying to get Inuyasha to wake up." Said Kagome
"The trick is to whisper 'Sesshoumaru's coming' in his ear. He'll be up, dressed, and running before you can blink."
"I tried that. He didn't even roll over." She said getting up und stretching.
"Damn, Yasha," she said turning her head toward him. "When was the last time you had a full night sleep and don't you dare tell me the last new moon."
"Nope didn't sleep then either. I spent the whole night trying to get him to stay awake because he'd been poisoned by a spider youkai." Kagome appeared to have adopted Emerald's attitude.
(A.N. I dunno if that works out right chronologically with them meeting Miroku and Sango –I'm pretty sure Shippou was there- if it isn't I'm sorry)
Inuyasha put the fire rat coat on and attached the Tetsusaiga to his waist while he talked.
"I spent 50 years pinned to a goddamn tree sleeping if there is one thing I've had enough of it's sleep."
'Huh?' Emerald mouthed shooting a look to Kagome who mouthed back 'don't ask'.
"If you two are done I have to go find Kirara and the others."
"Oh yeah now I remember why I'm here." Said Emerald.
"There's a monk, and a baby kitsune in the throne room. The monk wasn't too happy to say the least because we had to put a fire cat youkai and a youkai exterminator that were with them in the dungeon. They all say that the fire cat tracked you down and they're sure you're here. I said I'd come check."
Kagome and Inuyasha glanced at each other once and took off. Miroku was not going to hold out on using the air rip if he wasn't sure Sango was safe.
"Hey wait for me!" Emerald protested not far behind
Inuyasha ran down the long hallway towards the throne room Kagome at his heels. They ran what seemed like a mile before they reached the door that led to the throne room. Inuyasha flung it open to see Miroku on his left struggling against four of the palace guards. Miroku relaxed considerably when he saw Inuyasha and Kagome. The guards took this opportunity to knock him unconscious. The sound of a body falling to the ground distracted a guard that was oddly enough fighting another.
The guard saw Kagome and let out a familiar squeal as he turned to hurl himself at her but the other guard was faster and the kitsune/guard was knocked out. As soon as he hit the floor the disguise fell and before them lay an unconscious Shippou.
"Shippou!" Kagome ran toward him only to be stopped by a guard.
"Hey let me go!"
"I'm sorry but I can't let you pass without Sir Inuyasha's consent."
"And why not?"
The guard looked as though Kagome had just asked him why he was wearing clothes.
"Because he is male." He said simply.
Kagome looked positively furious at this.
"Inuyasha, I'll yell at you about this later but for now tell him to let me go!"
Inuyasha figured he'd get off with a just a few bruises if he let her do wat she wanted. He had never seen Kagome so mad. He was willing to bet the Tetsusaiga that her eyes were gonna turn red.
"Let her go."
Kagome rushed to Shippou without another word. She picked him up and placed him in her lap.
"Shippou," she whispered stroking the fur on his head that was matted with blood where he had hit his head, "Are you okay?"
When Shippou didn't respond, Kagome glared daggers at the guards.
"Dajali," came Emerald's voice.
The beautiful panther, which had been sitting lazily by, the king until Emerald walked in got up and walked dutifully to her side. Now both were walking cautiously towards Kagome and Shippou.
"Kagome," Emerald said in a gentle tone. "Dajali has healing properties in his saliva. If you let him lick Shippou the wound on his head will heal faster."
Kagome raised her head and looked emerald in the eye for a long moment (Emerald never blinking) before moving her arms so Dajali could access Shippou's head.
Dajali licked Shippou and the expression on his face grew more relaxed so Kagome calmed down. While everyone's eyes were glued on Kagome, Miroku began to regain consciousness. He sat up and rubbed his head.
'That hurt almost as much as Sango's boomerang' the monk thought with a chuckle.
"Sango!" he yelled and all the eyes of the conscious in the hall turned toward him.
