Chapter 12
Kagome pulled herself reluctantly from the world of sleep. It was so warm and safe there.
She yawned and blinked a couple times while looking around. Behind her Inuyasha still slept peacefully. It still amazed Kagome how he could sleep in a tree without falling out. When she tried to move Kagome discovered that Inuyasha's arms were still wrapped tightly around her waist.
Looking down Kagome realized how high up they were. Last night it had been too dark for her to tell how high off the ground they were. While Kagome was trying to figure out how to get down she heard a sound off to her right. Suddenly she was hit square in the chest by a little furry missile.
Kagome was knocked out of the tree dragging Inuyasha with her. "What the fuck?!" the angry hanyou cried as he woke up moments before he hit the ground. Kagome landed on top of him half a second later with the mass of fur clinging to her. Kagome was temporarily blinded and the little body on her moved around.
"KAGOME!" "Shippo?" "Ge uf me!" Inuyasha's voice was somewhat muffled seeing as Kagome was still on top of him. "Opps!" The girl rolled off him , still clutching Shippo to her chest. The angry half demon leapt up and snatched Shippo away from Kagome. Once he had the fox child by the tail he then began to hit him over the head repeatedly.
"Next...time..wait...until...I...wake...up!" he growled between each hit. ""Inuyasha! Stop it!" Kagome yelled. He dropped Shippo, who jumped into Kagome's arms, and turned around. "I'm gonna go get some food. "I'm gonna go find us some food." he mumbled and stalked off. "What's with him?" Shippo asked. Kagome shook her head to show she didn't know and looked after him worriedly. "I dunno Shippo."
"When did you get back Kagome? I missed you!" With one last look to where Inuyasha disappeared, Kagome turned towards the camp and started to walk. "We got back last night." "Don't leave like that again ok?" Kagome chose not to remind him that it was Inuyasha's fault that she had been gone.
She sat Shippo down and dug through her bag. Kagome had pulled out a small pot, some spices, and some bandages when someone came crashing through the under brush. Sango's eyes were shining as she sat down. "What's up Sango?" Kagome asked as she sat by the older girl. "I found a got spring." she explained. "Oh. I need to clean my wounds." Kagome crawled to her bag and grabbed her stuff. "mind helping with it after we wash up?" Sango shook her head and stood up.
"The hot spring alone didn't make you so happy did it?" Sango smiled a little and began to walk toward the hot spring. For the first time Kagome noticed that someone was missing. "Where is Miroku?" "Hopefully still on the forest floor some where." Kagome grinned. "I see. Well, I'll find Inuyasha and tell him where we are going to be." "Ok Kagome. I'll drag the monk back here then meet you there."
The two girls stopped and went different directions. "Hey! What about me?" Shippo called from his seat by Kagome's bag. He looked at Kirara, who just mewed at him, and shrugged.
-------------------------------------- ----------
"Inuyasha? Inuyasha?" Kagome called as she stood in the middle of a small clearing. As she looked around she noticed it was the clearing she had slept in last night. Kagome turned and looked up into the tree that she and Inuyasha had slept in the night before.
It felt so good to have finally told Inuyasha and have him feel the same. Kagome sighed dreamily and hugged herself. Maybe all the pain she had had to go through had finally paid off. With another sigh the girl let her thoughts drift. Flashes of what could happen ran through her mind.
Inuyasha building a house for them. Kagome holding his child. The three of them playing happily. Growing old with Inuyasha. Kagome's happy thoughts stopped like a train hitting a steal wall. Growing old with Inuyasha? Kagome would grow old and die way before Inuyasha even looked in his thirties.
And who ever said they would get together and have kids? Kagome mentally smacked her forehead. Why hadn't she though of this before? Stupid girl! she thought as she continued to mentally hit herself over the head. Kagome's mental abuse was brought to a halt when she felt arms wrap around her waist.
"You ok?" Inuyasha's breath stirred Kagome's hair. "Just thinking." Kagome turned in his arms and blushed as she looked into his eyes. "Inuyasha...what happens now?" Inuyasha frowned down at her. "We defeat Naraku and get the rest of the jewel shards of course." Kagome stepped out of his embrace. "I meant between us." Inuyasha fidgeted uncomfortably. "Oh...us. We...errrr.." he stammered. Kagome's eyes became icy. "I see. Well, I'm going to the hot spring with Sango. We'll talk when we get back." Kagome turned and headed off. We'll talk when we get back? Inuyasha's thoughts echoed. That seemed more like a threat than a promise to him.
Now it was his turn to abuse himself, though not mentally. The sound of him hitting his head against a tree rang out through the forest. Kagome, on her way to the hot spring to meet up with Sango, only paused briefly to wonder what it was. Oh well. She thought. Inuyasha will take care of what ever it is.
-------------------------------------- ----------
"Ahhhh. Nothing like a hot spring to sooth the nerves." Kagome sighed as she slid into the water. Sango nodded in agreement and leaned back against a rock. Sango looked around nervously before her gaze settled on Kagome.
"Tell me Kagome. What happened between you and Inuyasha? You both seem a little different since you came back." Kagome twirled a strand of hair around her finger as she thought. "Different how?" The demon slayer shrugged. "Wanna know the whole story?" Kagome asked slowly. The older girl nodded and scooted closer. Kagome began her story, starting with how Inuyasha left her in her time and ending with his confession lat night.
"So that's it. Now I don't know what we do now? do we get together and...what is it for demons?" Kagome asked with a small blush. "Mate." Sango supplied. "Yeah, ok. Do we become mates or what?" Sango leaned back and watched the steam rise as she thought. " I believe that is how it works." Kagome sighed. "I hope so."
-------------------------------------- ----------
Miroku stumbled into the clearing where Inuyasha was still bashing his head against a tree. "Dumb ass! Dumb ass! Dumb ass!" After a few moments of stunned silence Miroku asked, "Uhh....Inuyasha? What's wrong?" I am... such a...dumb ass!"
Miroku smiled. " Ok...why?" "Because...I didn't..tell her...what we do...now." Miroku sat down and eyed his friend with amusement. "What do you mean?" "I didn't tell her...what we will do...in the future. I didn't...tell her...that we...will...becomemates!" Inuyasha rushed the last words hoping that Miroku didn't understand.
No such luck. "Oh I see now...I think." Miroku cocked his head and watched his friend abuse himself before answering. "You finally told Kagome how you feel, she felt the same, but you didn't tell her anything about what will happen now?" he guessed. Inuyasha paused for a second to nod, then resumed his earlier actions. ""Dumb! Dumb! Dumb!" he punctuated each word with a blow to the head.
"As much as I enjoy watching this Inuyasha, I think you should stop. That poor tree can't take much more." Inuyasha grunted and stumbled over to where the monk sat. The world was spinning so Inuyasha flopped onto his back and closed his eyes. "So, you finally got up enough courage to tell Kagome how you feel." Inuyasha just grunted. "I wish I was brave enough to tell Sango how I feel." Another grunt.
Miroku glared at Inuyasha, even though the half demon couldn't see it. "You could at least say something." Inuyasha opened his eyes and sat up shakily. He turned to face Miroku, amber eyes clashing with blue. "Well Miroku, all I can say is I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you can't stop your lecherous ways and tell Sango how you feel."
Miroku continued to sit there and glare. "Be fair!" Inuyasha snorted. "I am being fair! It's not my fault your too chickenshit to tell her." The monk's eyes widened. "Your right. I am..I am chickenshit!" Miroku stood up and walked to the closest tree. He then grabbed its sides and hit his head against it.
"Chickenshit! I'm...to...chickenshit to...tell her!" Inuyasha took in the sight for a moment before losing it. "BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Is that what I looked like?" Just then Shippo ran out of the forest. "Hey Inu...What is Miroku doing?" "He's (HAHAHA) beating himself (HEHEHE) up!" "Oook then. Sango and Kagome are at the hot spring."
CRACK!
CRACK!
"Hot spring?" Hope filled Miroku's voice. "Both are on edge." the little fox warned. "Damn!" Miroku turned and continued bashing his head against the tree. This threw Inuyasha into a whole new laughing fit. A few moments later Miroku fell onto his back and closed his eyes. "Why'd you (haha) stop?"Inuyasha asked. "I couldn't stand up anymore." Miroku mumbled. "You really are chickenshit."
The monk rolled over and glared at Inuyasha. All three of him. "So are you! You can't even talk to Kagome about the future." "So?! I uh...I don't want Naraku to know so I'm gonna wait because if he knows then he'll use her against me!"
"You idiot" The two turned to Shippo, who was sitting a safe distance away from the battered and dizzy men. "You've already told her that you love her. Plus, Naraku already uses Kagome against you." "You know..." Miroku said getting to his feet.
"Shippo has a point." Inuyasha also stood up shakily. "You two are right. I have to tell her!" Inuyasha dashed away only to trip over his own feet a few feet away. He got up and ran off before either of the two behind him could say a word. Shippo laughed loudly and sat down. Miroku looked down at Shippo before falling onto his back again. "Miroku?"
-------------------------------------- ----------
"So what will you do if Inuyasha wants to mate?" Sango asked as she stood and got out of the water. "I dunno. I mean I love him and will become his mate..." Kagome leaned back against the rocks again." But what?" the demon slayer asked as she began to dress.
"Well, I want the first time we...ya know..to be perfect." Sango eyed her friend. "What do you mean?" Kagome got out of the hot spring and began to dry off. "I want it to be romantic and sweet. Special." Kagome explained. she got a dreamy look in her eyes as she sighed. A small rustle in the trees made her remember that she was rather exposed. "Sango?"
"Just a monkey or the wind." she said as she shrugged. She tied the last knot in her sash and glanced up just as a blur of red went by. Inuyasha...you own me big time. "C'mon Kagome. The others will be hungry now if they already haven't eaten with out us. f we don't hurry up the monk will come looking for us." The girl shuddered violently.
"Even when I'm clothed I don't like him looking at me. I know he is thinking impure thoughts." "He's undressing you I his mind. I know the feeling." Kagome said as she adjusted her socks and tied her shoes. "I'm ready. Let's go." The girls walked back to their camp to start lunch.
-------------------------------------- ----------
Inuyasha jumped from tree to tree with a big grin on his face. I really need to stop talking to the monk. But back to Important things...Kagome does want to be my mate! Now all I have to do is talk to her. Women and their stupid talking! In minutes he was back where he had left Miroku and Shippo.
The monk was still on the ground but Shippo was no where around. "Hey Miroku! I've gotta go do something. Tell the girls I'll be back soon." "..uh." "I'll take that as a yes. See ya!" With that Inuyasha took to the trees again.
-------------------------------------- ----------
(A/N: I'm gonna skip ahead now)
Inuyasha had reached his destination in only an hour. He and Kagome had traveled the same distance in a little under three. Inuyasha jumped out of the tree he was in and fell onto his stomach. His legs were burning and his lungs were aching for more air. For a few moments all he did was lay on the ground gasping for air.
When the stitch in his side faded , Inuyasha stood up and gazed at the Bone- eaters well. Inuyasha walked over and jumped into the well. He had a plan. One that would prove to Kagome that he really did love her and did want her to be his mate.
-------------------------------------- -------- Ok...my arms hurt now. I hope you all love me now. That's alot of typing for me. And as I said before I'm sorry for the spelling issues. Plz forgive me. Oh yeah! And everyone knows that amber is a yellowish color right? Good. I would really like 5 more reviews before I update again. I know some writers have nearly 50 reviews by now. How in the world do they do that?! ::Sighs:: Oh well...I'll settle for 5 more. Well..I'm gonna go read someone else's fanfic now. Let my arms rest!
