Chapter 3
Kagome woke up with Souta in her arms. She smiled down at him and lifted him up carefully. She settled him down and grabbed a pillow for his head. She then walked into the kitchen and checked the time. She sighed when she looked "It's only six in the morning. Damn" she whispered to herself. "I thought I slept more than three hours. Oh well" Kagome opened the fridge and grabbed some milk. She got some cereal and ate at the table.
The room was quiet and welcoming. Kagome could just fall asleep again but she knew she couldn't another day would come for that but now was not the time.
Kagome looked around the room hoping maybe to see Inu-yasha but she sighed as no sigh of him turned up.
Kagome finished her breakfast and quietly put her bowl in the sink. She took on last glance at Souta and went upstairs to get dressed. She got upstairs and into her room to see Shippo was awake. "Shippo why are you awake this early in the morning?" Shippo shrugged at her question then with his cute green orbs he came up to her. "Why weren't you in bed last night?" Kagome chuckled softly and ruffled his hair. "I couldn't sleep last night" she answered and then went to her closet. "Now go see if Souta is awake. He should be downstairs on the couch" Shippo nodded and left the room.
Kagome sighed and got out a pair of leather tight pants and a tight pink shirt that said 'la la la not listening' on the front of it. She got a black hat out and put it on backwards. Then she put large golden hoops on her ears and a couple of bangles on both arms to top it off with. She smiled at her reflection when she got to the mirror to see how she looked. 'Now all I have to do is get Sango, Miroku and Inu-yasha to go shopping for clothes in this time and we will all be fine' Kagome thought looking at the window.
Kagome watched the well house from window hoping Inu-yasha would come out. She sighed and started to walk out of the room when a very familiar hanyou came and tapped on her window. She twirled around and dashed for the window opening it and giving that very Hanyou a very large hug. Inu-yasha smiled 'So she really did miss me' He chuckled softly and picked up the very excited teenager. He twirled her around making her giggle. He then planted a kiss on her forehead making Kagome relax in his arms. She took all the warmth of his body she could take, hoping it would never go away. But there was always a time it had to end. Inu-yasha put Kagome down and looked up and down her. "Wow" was all he could say at the very sexy Kagome in front of him. Kagome smiled and whispered in his ear softly and seducing "Oh don't worry about tonight" Kagome winked and then looked back at her window where she saw Sesshomaru come just at that moment looking very disgruntled. "Welcome to my house Sesshomaru" Kagome said looking at him with a little bit of hate in her eyes.
"Anyways I'm going right now to make breakfast for everyone and hopefully not Spike oh well. His main dish is blood anyways" she chuckled softly at a very confused Sesshomaru. "We will fill you in later. Inu-yasha can you show him around the house and today we are going shopping because you guys can't go walking around in those clothes" Kagome point out the feudal clothes both Inu-yasha and Sesshomaru had on. Sesshomaru looked out raged at his. "I Sesshomaru, will not go and 'shop' for new clothes" Kagome narrowed her eyes and said in a matter of fact tone "Oh yes you will. Need I remind you that this is 500 years into the future and when you are in this house you will be taking orders from me you got that?" Sesshomaru looked like he was about to kill Kagome right there and then but she did have a good point.
Sesshomaru sighed "Fine but only while I'm here" he retorted back. Kagome who looked much happier gave Inu-yasha a kiss on the cheek and scurried downstairs to serve everyone else some breakfast.
Inu-yasha shook his head and turned to Sesshomaru. "That mate of yours is going to get herself killed" was all Sesshomaru said before following Kagome downstairs. Inu-yasha looked at the ground then smiled "I can't believe Kagome told Sesshomaru off. I think he may have become a softy" he mutter under his breathe. "I HEARD THAT" Sesshomaru yelled from downstairs. Inu-yasha scowled and went downstairs.
Spike and Dawn where up and already eating some syrup covered pancakes. Well Spike had his own plate with bloody pancakes instead of syrupy ones. Dawn didn't mind but Sesshomaru was looking at Spike questionably. "Spike isn't human" Kagome frowned looking at Sesshomaru. "He is a vampyre. Spike show him your so called 'scary face'" Kagome continued. Spike did as Kagome said and Sesshomaru like usual nodded his head, saying that he understood. Kagome then turned her head and started looking around. "Now where did I put that knife?" she asked herself under her breathe. "Umm sis I think it might be in the basement" Kagome looked at Dawn, bewildered. "Why would it be there?" Dawn shrugged as an answer and Kagome rolled her eyes. She then walked out of the kitchen and down into the basement in pursuit for the knife.
Then, like something wanted to annoy poor Kagome, the phone rang. Kagome sighed in frustration and ran to the phone. "Hello" Kagome waited and rejoiced when she heard a very familiar voice on the phone. "Hello Kagome" "Giles?" Kagome breathed as if not believing it was true.
Dawn then looked up from her plate intent on hearing the conversation. Spike just rolled his eyes; he had never really liked Giles. Inu-yasha slanted his head to the side, perking on ear up to listen. Sango, Miroku, Emiko and Shippo just looked at each other in confusion. Sesshomaru didn't even look fazed from the phone call.
"Yes it's me, Giles. Anyways I will be coming back to Tokyo for urgent matters. Like the whole world is at stake" Then like it was an after thought he added "Again" Kagome looked at out the window and asked "Umm next time you come, can you come just for a visit not for the world ending again?" Giles chuckled into the phone and said "I promise" Kagome smiled and then asked "When will you be coming?" "I will be there tonight" "Alright" Kagome agreed "I will see you then bye" and she hung up the phone.
She looked at the rest and sighed "Guess what the world is ending" she said it unfazed. Dawn and Spike rolled their eyes and nodded their heads.
Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Emiko and Inu-yasha where in complete shock. They couldn't really say anything especially because of the attitude Spike, Dawn and Kagome where giving the whole situation.
"Kagome what kind of attitude is that?! The world is ending and it sounds like you don't even care!" Inu-yasha yelled but Kagome seemed shocked but softened at the concern Inu-yasha was showing. She sighed softly and answered dryly "I don't seem fazed because this is like the tenth time the world is suppose to end and it never has. Ya sometimes it had to end in my death but that doesn't stop me from doing my job" Kagome then turned to Spike and asked "Spike can you go and call Xander, Anya, Tara and Willow for me?"
Spike looked down at Dawn. Her eyes looked pleadingly up at him. He sighed as Dawn got up and off of Spike's lap. Spike then put on the ring and left the house.
Dawn rejoiced a little because she would get to see Giles again and that they whole slayer gang would be together.
After about an hour, Spike returned with the gang behind him. Kagome smiled and ran and hugged all four of them. They returned the hug and greeted Kagome in the same old fashion. Xander with "Hey Kagome another end of the world thing?" and Willow with "KAGOME!" Tara just hugged her in return and Anya had another spas attack. "Oh my god KAGOME!!!!" Kagome looked at Anya and asked "Did you have caffeine this morning?" Anya nodded and Kagome said "thought so"
Sesshomaru was disgusted about how they reacted about seeing the miko girl again. But Tara caught his eye. To him she was shy and very secretive. He smiled and then shook his head. 'What have I done to deserve this?' he thought but then he thought again 'I saw the dead people. Damn it! If it weren't for them I wouldn't be in this mess. I Sesshomaru, will not be reduced to this'
Inu-yasha looked curiously over at his brother. 'I wonder what Sesshomaru thought? Oh well' He shrugged it off and went to greet the four arrivals.
"Inu-yasha buddy old pal" Xander said giving him a clap over his right shoulder. "Hi" Inu-yasha replied then looked at the three girls. Two of them were idolizing his ears. The third kept quite and did nothing. 'Uh oh' he thought as two of three ran towards him and chained him to the ground, tugging and pulling at his ears. "Hey get off of me damn it!" Inu-yasha yelled.
Kagome burst out laughing at the scene in front of her. Sango and Miroku came upon the scene and also started laughing.
Kagome then got the two of them off and helped Inu-yasha up. "Are you ok?" she asked kissing his dog ears better. Inu-yasha smiled down at the one girl that made him truly happy and nodded. Kagome hugged him then raced off towards the kitchen. Inu-yasha stood there his smile hadn't disappeared yet but he didn't care. Inu-yasha looked at Xander, who in turn winked at him. He nodded and followed Kagome into the kitchen.
Once there he found Kagome bustling around, looking for certain objects. Inu-yasha went up to her and put his strong arms around her waist, bringing her into him. Kagome was startled at first but gave in. She knew that if Inu-yasha was around she could just relax and have fun but right now she had to get started on making dinner for the rest and Giles. She turned around and looked at Inu-yasha's golden, amber, intoxicating orbs that she could just fall into. "Inu..." she breathed not wanting to break eye contact with her lover. She then sighed and rested her head on his shoulder, allowing her to hear his heart beat. Inu-yasha looked down and cradled her.
Inu-yasha was lucky to have someone like Kagome be his mate. He was lucky to even have her as a friend.
Kagome stayed by his side, even when things where really dangerous. Kagome was even there when he needed her most. Like the time when they where travelling and they met up with Inu-yasha's mother's grave. Kagome had almost cried but she kept it in for Inu-yasha's sake. Another time would be when Inu-yasha almost went crazy over something. Kagome was there to calm him down and he liked it when she was there. Especially now of all times. Now that the world was suppose to end, he was glad that he even got a chance with her. He shook his head reliving the thought that had just came up.
Kagome looked curiously at him but she shrugged it off when Inu-yasha's orbs became full of emotion. The emotion was of love and Kagome was glad. So she nestled her head back into his chest and gave a content sigh.
Inu-yasha had always wondered what Kagome saw in him but he never got around to ask her. I mean he was a hanyou, she could have chosen Kouga or maybe even his half brother Sesshomaru.
A shudder went down his spine at the thought of Kagome and his brother being in a relationship.
He shook his head. 'She is my mate and no one else's' he though. The thought seemed to calm his down. Knowing that Kagome would never leave him for someone else.
Then on cue the door bell rang. Kagome then let go of Inu-yasha and opened the door to see.....
