I don't own Inuyasha.
Chapter9
A One Day Vacation
Inuyasha's eyes shot open and he sat straight up. He put his hand to his head and looked to his right to see Kagome. He had had the most terrible nightmare. Kagura had found them, and he couldn't protect Kagome. Kagura killed Kagome and then everyone else. She didn't kill Inuyasha and he was left alone in the world. It was the worst dream he had ever had.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha shook Kagome lightly.
"Hey Kagome. Are you okay?" Kagome's eyes slowly fluttered open and Inuyasha sighed. "Good."
"What's the matter Inuyasha?" Kagome asked sleepily.
"I just had a bad dream, that's all."
Kagome looked around the camp they had set up the night before. Shippo was curled up in her sheets and Hajji was sleeping against a tree. They must have landed when she was half way asleep, because she could only remember setting up half of it. The rest, Inuyasha must have done.
"I'm going out to get some breakfast. Want to come?"
"Um, sure. What are you getting?"
"Fish I guess. It's probably the easiest thing to catch."
Inuyasha and Kagome both got up slowly and left the camp. Shippo and Hajji would be fine.
* * *
Inuyasha and Kagome made their way to the river. The morning sun reflected off of the water and made it sparkle.
'Wow! It's beautiful!' Kagome thought. She looked over at Inuyasha to see him taking off his haori and undershirt.
"You stay here, I'll be right back." Inuyasha stepped into the water, making ripples appear in the water. When he got into the water, he began to swim around. He splashed a little bit of water on Kagome and she smiled.
"I thought you were hurt! You're not going to be the only one who has some fun!" Kagome walked a little further down river and looked around. There was no one around, so she took off her shoes, and uniform shirt and jumped in. She had an undershirt under her uniform shirt, so it didn't matter if Inuyasha was spying on her.
"Awww. This water feels so good!" Kagome began to swim around, feeling relaxed and safe.
* * *
Inuyasha got out of the water with nine fish in his hands. Five in one hand, four in the other.
"Huh? Where's Kagome?" Inuyasha sniffed the air nervously, but calmed down, as he smelt her scent. She was somewhere near. He didn't pick up any other scent, so she was probably okay. He followed her scent further down river, and found her...... shirt? Did she go swimming?
"Kagome?"
A few bubbles rose from the water and then Kagome's head appeared.
"Hey Inuyasha! You finished already?"
"Yeah! What are you doing?"
"I'm having fun!" Kagome laughed. She splashed some water on Inuyasha and he smiled.
"I guess I'll get in."
Inuyasha walked into the water and swam next to Kagome.
"I still don't see what's so fun about "swimming." You act like it's the best thing in the world or something. It's cold and when you get out, it's even colder."
Kagome swam in front of Inuyasha and smiled.
"It's even funner when you swim with people you like."
Kagome leaned forward and kissed Inuyasha lightly on his lips. Inuyasha kissed back, but Kagome ended it too quickly.
"Hey, why'd you......" Kagome put her finger over Inuyasha's lips and said, "If you catch me......"
Kagome slowly backed away from Inuyasha and than disappeared under water.
"I hope you can swim fast."
* * *
Inuyasha passionately kissed Kagome one more time before they walked into camp. He had caught her easily and they had gotten out of the water after that.
Inuyasha had their breakfast, well, lunch, in his hands. They had been gone since the early morning and now it was noon.
"I hope Shippo and Hajji weren't too hungry," Kagome giggled.
"Hajji probably is. We were going until almost dawn. He must be in a hurry to get to that village."
"He is very faithful and loyal to Miroku."
"Yeah I know. Come on. Let's hurry."
Kagome and Inuyasha began to walk faster.
"I'll race you."
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and shook her head.
"You're so immature," Kagome laughed. "You know our wounds will open.... Anyway, you know I'll win."
Kagome smiled slyly and walked ahead of Inuyasha.
"Feh, you have a good since of humor."
Inuyasha caught up with Kagome and grabbed her hand.
"You ARE funny."
Kagome smiled and laughed sarcastically.
"And so are you."
The couple made their way into the camp. Shippo was sitting in the middle of the clearing talking to Hajji.
"I spy with my big eyes, something big. And this time it's definitely NOT a tree!"
"Oh I don't know, a tree maybe..." Hajji said in an annoyed tone.
"I said it WASN'T a tree! Grrrr! You're right! Your turn!"
"Hi Shippo! Hey Hajji!"
Hajji and Shippo turned to see Kagome and Inuyasha walking into the clearing.
"Kagome!" Shippo ran over to Kagome and jumped on her shoulder.
"Where were you?! I was so worried! Hajji and I have been playing games and shape shifting ever since I woke up! We've been having real fun! Hajji's really cool!"
Kagome looked over at Hajji and could tell he was exhausted.
"Shippo. Are you sure Hajji was having fun too?" Kagome asked sweetly.
"Yeah! Weren't you... Mr. Hajji?"
Hajji shook his head and put his hands in front of his face.
"Yeah, I was having a blast!" he lied. "Right until he wanted to play house."
"Well," Inuyasha grunted, stepping up. "We've traveled two days time. You guys want to just relax for today?"
"Sure! It could be like a one day vacation!" Kagome chimed. "It could be like the old days when we didn't know about Naraku. When we went running around after the jewel shards without worrying about someone trying to kill us."
"I'll be completely healed in four days. Then we won't have to worry about anything!" Inuyasha laughed. "We'll defeat Naraku once Kagome's completely healed, and then....."
"And then what...?"
Everyone turned to stare at Kagome.
"What... do you mean, Kagome?"
"I mean, what are we going to do after the jewel shard is complete?" Kagome's voice became shaky.
"We are looking for the jewel shards so we can get them before Naraku! Right? But what happens when we defeat Naraku? What are you going to do with the jewel Inuyasha? Are you going to turn into a demon or go to hell with...."
"Kagome, we'll talk about it later..."
"No we won't Inuyasha! If we don't talk about it now, we won't end up talking about it until it's too late! Inuyasha! Am I going to stay here after we finish our journey? Am I going to go home? Are we all going to split up? I've been thinking about it for a long time now, Inuyasha.... And I've realized, that I'm afraid to find the rest of the jewel shards..."
"Huh?"
"I'm afraid, that after we find all of the jewel shards, Sango's going to go rebuild her village, Miroku's going to become a wanderer, you're going to become a demon, Shippo's going to live with Kaede and I'm going to go back to my own time. I'm afraid that we're all going to split up."
"I don't want to live with Kaede!!" Shippo whined.
"Kagome... I'm not going to become a demon. I'm not going to...... hell with Kikyo. I'm staying right here Kagome. I hope you will too."
Kagome stared at Inuyasha with hope in her eyes. Hope that Inuyasha wasn't lying. A single sign that told her he was lying would send her home forever. But he didn't smile at all. He didn't even blink.
"Kagome. I want you to know, that I would never leave you. Why do you think every time you leave, I go after you?"
"So you can find the jewel shards faster..."
"No... I go after you because I care about you. We all do. That's why we always stick together."
"But look at us now. We can't even spend two minutes together without arguing. That's why Sango and Miroku aren't with us now."
"Hey, we'll see each other in a few days. Don't worry about it. I promise, we'll all stick together."
Kagome leaned forward and hugged Inuyasha.
"Thank you Inuyasha...... Thank you for everything."
"No Kagome, thank you."
AN: Sorry this chapter was so short. I didn't know what to write today. I have to make 14 poems today, and my mind was set more on poetry then on writing. Next chapter, Sango and Miroku.
