Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
And Those Amber Eyes of Sunlight…-Chapter Ten: Shippo Stays and a Search Begins.
When Kagome came down from her room the next morning, Inuyasha could smell the stench of that fox youkai on her and his hackles rose as a deep growl began to rumble in the back of his throat. He stopped though once he noticed both Miroku, who was awake as well, and Kagome, staring at him with a bazaar look of their faces. "Keh," He said before turning away from them to watch the television screen.
He heard Kagome pass behind him and giggle as she went into the kitchen to begin breakfast and began to wonder why he had had such a reaction toward her. 'Nasty little kit coming into my house, putting his scent all over my Kagome!' But stunned at that thought, he sat straight, blinking and wondered also where that had come from. '…My Kagome?' Shaking his head, he sighed. 'Forget it, Inuyasha, you're still tired from the trip.'
Just then, Shippo came bounding down the stairs, followed by a yawning Sango with Kiara contently sitting on her shoulder. He hadn't quite figured out what was so special about the catlike creature that accompanied Sango, but he knew there had to be because of the way it seemed to understand what was going on all the time.
He'd found out last night though, by eavesdropping on others conversations, that Sango had been a descendant of a long line of youkai slayers and was one of those people "out to save the world". He knew that she carried an over sized boomerang in battle made of youkai bones as well. 'So strange,' He thought.
And of course, by now he knew about the magic vacuum in Miroku's right hand, a curse from Naraku, and Kagome's spirit arrows. But what they didn't know about him was of the magic sword he had inherited from his father in order to protect the ones he loved. He didn't think any of them knew just exactly how old he was and he definitely knew that they had no clue as to the age of Naraku.
'That old bastard has been around as long as I could remember…,' He thought grimly, clenching his teeth together. Sighing again though, he turned his thoughts to the little runt fox, who he now noticed was dressed in one of Kagome's shirts, using it as a night gown of sorts.
The shirt was still way too big for him though and dragged along wherever he went, causing him to trip occasionally. He smirked, 'Good.' But reluctantly, he could feel a small tinge of jealousy rising up from his stomach as he watched the kit chatter happily to Kagome on the breakfast bar, watching her as she cooked bacon and nibbling on a piece of toast.
Looking at Kagome, his eyes widened and he quickly looked away as he saw that she, though talking to Shippo, was staring at him as well. Grumbling, he folded his arms over his chest and sulked.
----------
Kagome had sensed his jealousy the moment his eyes met hers before he'd turned away to pout. Smiling, she looked back to Shippo, remembering how he'd curled up on her belly last night and gone to sleep, purring like a small kitten. Now, he chattered about how he'd gotten to be in her garden in the first place, telling her that his parents had been killed and he'd been left to live on his own. The whole time he'd been saying this though, he had a smile on his face, acting as if nothing had happened. But his eyes betrayed him and deep inside, she could see his sadness.
Handing him another piece of toast, and then Kiara a piece of bacon as she bounded onto the breakfast bar beside him, she began to think, an idea slowly forming in her head. No matter what the circumstances, she could not see herself letting the poor little kit loose to wander on his own and opening her mouth, she interrupted his chatter by asking, "Shippo…Would you like to stay here, I mean live here, with me?"
She could hear everyone quiet down as Inuyasha sprung from his seat. "What?! Kagome! We already have enough things to worry about, why add another to run around causing trouble when we least expect it!?" Glaring at him, Kagome retorted, "Inuyasha, have a heart, he's just a kid! So we have problems, what on earth could he do to make it any worse?! He's had to go through so much anyway, he's probably a grown up inside anyway!"
Electricity passed between the two of them as the glared at each other, trying to stare one another down. Then, Shippo cleared his throat and the two broke their glance to look down at him. "K-Kagome," He said in a small voice, pausing, then he hurled himself and her, crying as his little claws gripped her shirt, "Kagome! I want to stay!"
Tearing up a little, Kagome hugged Shippo tightly to herself as if he were her own little one and cooed softly in his ear. But it all ended when smoke filled the kitchen and the fire alarm went off, drowning out Inuyasha's sputtering protests in the background.
Setting Shippo down, Kagome rushed to the stove and retrieved the cooking pan of bacon from the burner as Sango grabbed the broom and Miroku opened a window as she began wafting the smoke out of the house.
Finally, the alarm quieted and everyone stood looking at each other with a goofy grin…Except Inuyasha, who sat in the corner, sulking.
----------------
"Kugara…," A soft oozing voice called in the darkness of the great hall. Standing, a women dressed in a formal kimono walked toward the chair sitting on the alter within the shadows of the great pillars around it. "Yes, m'lord," She answered, bowing low, her eyes averted to the floor. "I no longer sense the Shikon no Tama, it's like it just vanished out of no where…Find the priestess, Kagome, and her pet hanyou. Bring them to me with the jewel!"
Nodding, the women stood and turned, walking from the hall, a loud, malicious laugh following her.

Eeep, sorry for how short it is . Had a little bit of writers block this time around plus I had to start introducing new characters into the storyline so I could do something with them in later chapters. =) Anyway, so review and tell me what you think, even though this is incredibly short. Oh! And by the way, while going through a stage where my writers block was driving me so crazy I had to do something ( XD ) I designed pictures of the Layout of Kagome's house. If you want to see them, go to my profile and the link will be on there =) If you dont see it though and you still want to see the layouts, e-mail me and ill send you the link.
