When He Was Mine

Chapter 24
We slept until morning. I had never told him I was going to spend the night with him but I suppose he either figured it out for himself or took it for granted. Either way, the sleep was sound and restful, and as I stirred in bed and stretched my arms above my head, I smiled. No matter how things went at home, I'd always have THIS to go back to, the way he made my body sing made me happier than I had ever been.
"What are YOU smiling at this morning?", I heard him ask from the doorway and I slid up in bed and held my arms out to him. "Look at you, like a little girl needing a morning hug...", he grinned and came to me. His hair was damp and his bare back had droplets of water clinging to the skin. He smelled of clean body soap and shampoo, of toothpaste and aftershave; and as he hugged me to him, I felt the smoothness of his cheek against my own.
"I missed you in bed...", I said and hugged him hard. "You DID, did you? Well, you looked so peaceful laying there, I just couldn't help it. It was either take you again or go and get a cold shower, so I got the cold shower. You owe me one this evening...", he smiled and kissed my nose. "I need a shower, Inu. Really bad..", I grimaced and he laughed and pulled me out of bed. "Privacy is a thing of the past, I assume?", I giggled as he led me to the shower and put on the water. "I'm making tea, want some?", he said as he backed toward the door and leered at me. "Yeah, that would be good and necessary, I think. Thanks, naughty boy!", I laughed and dove behind the curtain when he made to grab at me. He was laughing as he closed the door and walked away. I felt OK, not anxious or nervous about today, about facing my parents. Sooner or later it had to be done and I felt like they more than likely already knew that InuYasha and I were seeing each other.
I showered, taking my time and got out, wrapping a towel around me and wiping a clear space off on the mirror so that I could see myself. Grabbing the brush, I smoothed my hair down and then looked down in my bag, for InuYasha had placed it on the floor in the bathroom, found my toothbrush and brushed my teeth. I slid into my clean panties and bra and pulled my jeans on, zipping them up. Grabbing a T-shirt, I pulled it on and then padded on bare feet out into the kitchen to see what InuYasha was up to. "Morning", he said and handed me a cup of tea as he busied himself around the kitchen table, looking through stacks of papers and then back to his laptop that was setup on the table. I noticed he wore glasses... wire frames. I hadn't known. He smiled at me and I grinned back. "What's so funny?", he asked me and tugged his glasses off, laying them on the table as he looked at me. "Nothing, you just look adorable. Soooo sexy in those glasses, are they a ploy? a pickup?", I laughed. "NOOOOO, they are NOT. I need them for close work only... are you making fun of me now, Kagome?", he asked.
"Never! Never! I just... YOU and glasses... soooooooo many different sides to this lover of mine..", I smiled and walked behind his chair, my arms draping over his shoulders and I snatched a quick kiss from the side of his neck. "What are you doing?", I asked him softly and let my mouth trail down his neck, to his shoulder. "I'm working... stop!", he laughed and continued typing into his laptop. "Put the glasses back on..", I said and he sighed and picked them up off the table, put them on and took a sip of his tea, then looked up at me. "Satisfied?", he asked and grinned at me. "Ohhhhhhhh, I guess. But I could be made MORE satisfied...", I laughed and he widened his eyes and then grabbed me, pulling me into his lap and pushing his chair back at once. "And you ask me if I'M insatiable?", he growled as his fingers made their way quickly up inside my T-shirt. "I can't help it. Something about a man and glasses... yum! and something about YOU and glasses? double yum-yum!", I giggled as his fingers dug into my ribs, tickling me. "But you wear them! I heard you say something one time, or else I've seen you wearing them...!", he argued. "So?", I giggled and he stopped the tickling and looked down at me, sprawled across his lap. "I love you to bits, Kagome!", he said and squeezed me to him.
"Where's breakfast, Hara?", I said and hopped up off his lap to look around the kitchen. "You won't find anything here. We'll go out and get a bite to eat, nothing here, I checked..", he said. "OK, then c'mon!", I said and went to grab my trainers then realized that the only pair I had were the new ones I had bought the day before and that they lay in my car, so I opened the door to run out and get them.
He was standing at the table, stuffing papers into a folder and sticking them into his laptop case when I came back in. He then took his glasses off and put them away, looking back up at me thru his lashes. "Ohhhhhhhhh, Hara... You know how to work it, don't you!?", I laughed and he shook his head and took in the shoes I held in my hands. "Damn Kagome, you went on a spree yesterday, didn't you?", he smiled at me. "I did, but it was all your fault.", I said as I sat down on the sofa to lace the shoes and put them on. "My fault?", he frowned and grabbed his own trainers, sitting beside of me. "Yeah, you told me to go find something sexy. I tried but I found other stuff too!", I grinned.
He reached for me suddenly, his arm around my neck and I snuggled against him. "Remember what I said about the outfit you wore last night? I mean that, Kagome. I really don't want you wearing that kinda thing out anywhere without me, ok?", he said and I bit back a grin and nodded my head. "So quit laughing. I mean it, you were top sexy last night. I hated every bastard in that bar that looked at you... It would drive me mad to think of you going anywhere with that shirt on...", he said. "Awww, Inu. I promise... Unless of course you're still out of town for the Bizarre Puppets concert that will be here at the end of the month...", I grinned. He pulled back from me and smiled.
"Bizarre Puppets, really?", he asked. "Yes. I've wanted to see them forever...", I grinned and bounced on the sofa cushion. "But... but you said you weren't IN to rockbands the first time I met you...", he frowned at me. Damn him for remembering everything I'd ever said! "No, I said I wasn't IN to Wild Silver, not like most people here in Japan and Asia...", I said and he frowned again then pouted, his lower lip sticking out. "Ah NO. No please, InuYasha... don't!", I giggled and he smiled at me. "So you ARE into Bizarre Puppets then...", he said. "Yes, I saw them in the States. They were amazing! I loved Na...", I started and noticed InuYasha's fierce gaze on me. "You love who?", he said. "...them all! I love them all, the show, the music...", I sang and he narrowed his eyes and looked hard at me. "Yeah, ok... Well, what has Bizarre Puppets and your naughty blouse have to do with each other?", he asked me. "Nothing. Only I plan on wearing it and getting front row tickets when they come. I want to be the one that one of them pulls up on stage to sing to...", I said and hugged my knees to my chest. "Sango and I have plans to go already, but if you're back and want to go I'd love to go with YOU!", I grinned. "What are you playing at, Kagome. Trying to make me jealous? Is that it? Well, it's working!", he said and pulled me up from the sofa. "But I love YOU!, InuYasha!", I said and wrapped my arms around his waist, burying my head in his neck. "Yeah, yeah. Just until NARAKU comes along, then what?", he said. "Ahhhh InuYasha, as IF. I was only teasing. I mean it. What chance would we have of ever getting front row tickets or being called up onstage? Huh? Tell me. I mean, I'm sure you guys do that as well. And how many girls out of thousands get to come up and be onstage with you? Meet you up close?", I asked.
He smiled at me, a small secret grin and I punched him lightly in the arm and then kissed him. "Just be back before the end of the month...", I said and went to find my bag so that I could join him in his car for our trip to the studio. I was gonna be able to see first hand what my gorgeous, tempermental, japanese rockstar boyfriend really did...
