A Child Shall Guide Them
Chapter 4


InuYasha woke at dawn to the sound of a car back firing. He sat up lazily and scratched on of his ears. Pushing the cover, which had taken him a good 5 minutes to find last night, off him, he stood and stretched out. Then made his way to kitchen to raid the fridge. Pulling out a carton of some white liquid he cut the lid off with his one of his claws and smelt it. Not bad. He smirked and drank some. He would have to ask Kagome what this stuff was later. After placing the carton, lidless, back in the fridge, InuYasha searched for something to eat.

"InuYasha?" He heard a small voice ask from the kitchen doorway. Pulling himself from the fridge, he straightened and looked to the doorway. Sui stood there with a small smile on her face. Almost instantly her face scrunched up and she opened her mouth. And started screaming. Putting his hands over his sensitive ears, he watched as Kagome and Shippo came running into the room. The two started from Sui to him and back. Then Kagome's eyed got wide and she pointed to his head. He stared at her. She stepped around Sui and walked to him.

"InuYasha, your ears!" She whispered after she has torn his hands of his ears. Then he understood. Sui had not seen his ears before. This could be a problem.

Almost a hour later, after Kagome had explained everything to Sui, InuYasha and Sui sat floor by couch. Both had their legs folded and arms crossed across their chest. Apparently, Sui did inherit some of InuYahsa's genes. Sitting in the chair across from them she tried to fix their problem. InuYasha has brought out some of his childish genes and won't talk to Sui because she hurt his ears. Sui is just being herself and won't talk to InuYasha because he lied to her. These two were going to bore her to death.

Kagome, not being able to stand it anymore, stood and grabbed InuYasha's hand pulling him off the ground. She pulled him past the kitchen and into her room, shutting the door snuggly behind her. She pushed on the bed and scolded him.

"Why are you acting like that. Your ears don't hurt."

"They do to!" He replied grabbing one ear in his hand.

"Still. You're an adult. She is a kid. Grow up. If you would just apologize, everything would be fine." InuYasha folded his arms across his chest, ignoring her comments about his immaturity. Then he appeared thoughtful. Not wanting to argue anymore she sank on the bed next to him.

"Penny for your thoughts?" She said with a sigh. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Then gave a one shoulder shrug.

"Nothing really. Just think about Sui." InuYasha shook his head. "I just can't believe she's mine." Kagome stared at him. He seem so sincere. Maybe he isn't as immature as she assumed. When he glanced at her from the corner of his eye again, he caught her staring and turned around to face her. "What are you staring at me for?"

"It's nothing." She shook her head and looked away.

"No. Tell me." She looked back at him and smiled.

"It's just sometimes...I can see how much you've really matured." And it hurts that I wasn't there to see it.

"Yea, well, you have to. I mean look at you. Your old and wrinkly now." Her eyes widened.

"I do not have wrinkles!" She jumped of the bed to confirm her statement in the mirror. At the sound of his soft laughter she spun around and glared at him. His head was bowed and his shoulders shaking.

"InuYasha...?" InuYasha looked towards her still laughing.

"Yea?"

"Sit." InuYasha flew of the bed and landed on the carpet face first.

"Stupid wench." InuYasha said as she walked to the door.

InuYasha caught up with Kagome, just as she reached the doorway back into the living room. She stopped and leaned against the frame. As quietly as possible he stepped behind her and looked over her shoulder. Sui lay on the floor asleep.

"She really kind of cute, huh?" InuYasha whispered to Kagome. She jumped slightly, then looked at him and smiled.

"Yes. She is a doll." He glanced at Sui and then looked back to Kagome.

"She looks a lot like you." Kagome's smile widened.

"Trying to say I'm cute?" He nodded and she rolled her eyes with a small laugh.

"She doesn't look exactly like me."

"Oh. How do you say. I see no resemblance of me in her." He took another good look at Sui.

"She has your ears." She whispered, as she reached up to touch one of his. Before he knew it, he was purring softly. With a light movement he pinned Kagome to the wall.

"I wouldn't keep doing that if I was you." He growled out.

"Oh, really? And just why not?" She continued to rub his ear.

"You might have to suffer the consequences." Her gaze lowered from his ears to his eyes.

"What are the consequences?" She asked so softly he could barely hear.

"Kiss me" She smiled, remembering their agreement. Then she kissed him. Kagome's hand slowly dropped from his ear to his shoulder. InuYasha's hands ran from where they were pinning Kagome on the wall to her waist. Wrapping around her and resting on the small of her back. As their tongues danced to an old tune everything else in the world disappeared. All the years of separation...Gone. Sui and Shippo...Gone. All that mattered was them. Then as InuYasha's hand slipped under the back of Kagome's shirt, the door bell rang.
