Chapter 20 Beautiful
Day and night, night and day. Time seemed to pass by ever so slowly. Though, it had only been two days since Inuyasha had brought Kagome back to her era, everything was still moving slowly. Inuyasha sat on the bed lazily in the guest room, starring out the window. Souta was at the thing called kuool... Neueal.... well, something; The old man was out front of the shrine, 'sweeping', and Kagome's mother was out buying 'groceries'. Inuyasha sighed heavily out of boredom as Buyo strolled into the room.
"Meeeeeow!"
Inuyasha glanced down and, purely because he had nothing else to do, watched the fat cat scramble up on the bed next to him. Strangely enough, him and the cat had a small friendship. With a small yawn, Buyo curled up beside Inuyasha's leg and soon fell asleep. Inuyasha smiled lightly and began to stork the cat's fur, continuing to stare out the window.
MEANWHILE
Kagome slowly awoke up to the sound of.... nothing? 'That's strange... I usually hear villagers talking.' The young school girl thought as she pulled up her fluffy covers and slowly closed her eyes.. Wait..... fluffy covers? Her eyes snapped back open and she quickly sat up. "I'm.... in my room." She whispered, looking around the dark, pink room, only slightly lightened up by the sun light. "How does this keep happening?"
Kagome slowly swung her legs over the edge of the bed and stood up. She looked around the room and then decided to go to the window. Yes, definitely she was back in her time. Out in front of the old shrine was her grandfather, 'sweeping'. "How did I get here?" She probed her mind for any indication, she even looked around her room for anything that might pop up a memory. Nothing. Nothing but bits of fuzz.
"I'm home!" Kagome heard a small and familiar voice cry. For some reason, she flopped down onto the ground, hiding under the window. 'Wait..... why am I hiding?!' She thought furiously. Soon, she could hear her younger brother's feet scrambling up the stairs. The foot steps because louder and louder as they were approaching her room, but they stopped just short of it. The guest room was right next to her room, so why was Souta stopping there? Luckily for her, the walls of this old house was pretty thin so she could hear what was going on.
Kagome scooted over closer to her wall and pressed her ear against it. Soon she heard a loud knock on the wooden door. "Inuyasha?" Souta's muffled voice called out. Footsteps, then the creak of the door opening. 'I- inuyasha is here?' She thought, her eyes slowly widening.
"What?"
"Can I come in? I need to talk to you," Souta's voice went down to a whisper that Kagome could barely hear. "Man to man." For a moment, there was silence, but then tow sets of footsteps entered the room.
"What is it?" Inuyasha's annoyed voice asked as a loud creak indicated he sat down on the old bed.
"I was wonderin' something." Kagome heard another creak, but it was much shorter and quieter.
"What?" Inuyasha snorted.
"Are you like my brother or something? Y'know, since you like my sis lots and all."
There was absolutely not response, only pure silence. Kagome blushed a deep shade of red. 'Wh-why is my LITTLE brother asking that?!' She blushed even more, if that was possible at that time. 'And why isn't Inuyasha answering?!'
The, Kagome could hear some mumbling from what seemed to be her brother, though she wasn't totally sure if she heard him right. 'Are you crushi- no, no.... hushin-.... no, that's not right!' Her eyes widen wide. 'I-is.... is he blushing?!'
"Inuyasha?" Souta's voice was more louder and clearer now. "Where are you goin'?" A loud, but quick creak, footsteps leading to the door, and then finally the door opening. "Inuyasha? Does that mean you don't like my sis anymore?" Souta pouted, sounding rather disappointed.
A low mumbled was the only reply, then footsteps leaving the small guest room. 'What was his answer?!?!' Kagome thought angrily. When Inuyasha had replied, it was way to quiet for her to hear! With a sigh, she slumped back against the wall, pondering what she should do next. Then suddenly, the sound of her door opening woke her up from her thoughts. Slowly, she turned to her door and saw her wide eyed brother, grinning from ear to ear.
"Kagome!" Souta squeaked. "Your finally awake!" In pure joy, he ran over to Kagome and hugged her so tight as if she would disappear suddenly.
'Finally awake? What is that suppose to mean?' Kagome thought, returning the embrace. Before she could really say anything, something red and white caught the corner of her eye. She glanced over at the door to see a familiar hanyou starring at her in complete shock. "Hi." She smiled softly.
"Your..... awake...." Inuyasha said slowly, still in disbelief.
Souta nodded vigorously, finally moving away from Kagome. "You-yup!!" He chirped. "You've been asleep for two whole days!" He whined lightly, hugging her once again.
Kagome blinked. "Wh-what? Really?"
"Souta, do you think you can leave us for a moment?" Inuyasha asked calmly, placing a hand on the young boy's shoulder as he sat down on the soft bed.
"What? Why.....?" Souta pouted. "I want to be with my sis!"
Kagome smiled weakly. "Don't worry Souta, it will only be for a little while." She gave her brother a quick embrace before ushering him off.
"Ok...." Souta said quietly as he slowly left the room.
"So, Inuyasha. What is it-" Kagome stopped in mid-sentence as she felt his hand press up against her forehead. "Wh-what are y-you doing?" She asked, blushing like crazy.
"Well, your not warm.... how do you feel?" Inuyasha asked calmly, taking his clawed hand away.
"F-fine." Kagome replied, looking away. Right then, her face was so red and hot from blushing that she thought she might burst into flames.
"Well, that's good..... I.... I was worried about you." Inuyasha mumbled, looking off to the side. A light shade of pink found it way onto his cheeks.
"Y-you were?" Kagome asked, turning back to him. A small smile crossed her lips as she saw him turn pinker.
"Yeah? So?" Inuyasha huffed.
"Thank you." Kagome whispered as she wrapped her arms around his waist, hugging him.
Now, Inuyahsa went a DEEP shade of red, but more or less he returned the hug. 'Her scent.... it's so gentle....' He thought, smiling slightly. "Kagome.... I thought I was going to lose you." He whispered into her midnight hair.
Kagome glanced up at him, still in the embrace. "What do you mean by that?"
Inuyasha pulled away and looked straight into her brown eyes. "I thought I was going to lose you because I didn't know what to do..... I.... I was afraid for you."
Kagome's heart started to beat harder and harder. "Inuyasha....." Was really the only thing that she could say at that moment.
"Kagome, you still haven't answered my question." Inuyasha whispered, lifting her chin with one of his hands.
Kagome's eyes widen as she stared into the entrancing golden eyes. "Wh- what?"
"May I...." Inuyasha hesitated a bit before taking the plunge. "May I kiss you....?" He whispered, leaning closer to her.
Kagome blushed lightly, but managed a small nodded. 'I.... I can't believe this! Everything... is happening so fast!'
Slowly, Inuyasha's lips pressed against Kagome's. The kiss was long and passionate with mixed emotion running threw each of their heads. One of Inuyasha's hand found their way to Kagome's lower back, while the other was placed softly on her cheek. Kagome pushed in closer to him, making the kiss more passionate as he ran on of her hands threw his tangled white hair. Sadly thought, every good thing has to come to an end. Slightly breathless, Kagome and Inuyasha finally pulled away from each other, starring into each other's eyes.
"Inuyasha.... I..... I don't know what to say....." Kagome whispered, still slightly breathless. Many thoughts ran threw her mind at that moment. Like, what about Kikyo? What happened to being called a wench, jewel detector. And, the thought that caught her attention the most was did he really ment it all?
"Then don't" Inuyasha pulled her into a hug, holding her tightly against his body. "Kagome, I never want to lose you." He whispered as he rested his head on hers.
"Don't worry..... you wont." Kagome replied softly, still slightly shock of the event that just accrued. 'He kissed me.... and I kissed back.... that means he loves me, right?' Kagome thought as she closed her eyes tightly.
