wow! Thanks everyone!!!!!!
Kagome looked into InuYasha's eyes; they seemed to be aflame with the passion of abandonment. She scooted closer and took her hand with his, and started to examine it with a half, glazed, gaze.
"Exactly"
InuYasha went numb when she took his hand and started to rub it with her soft and delicate hands. His heart hurt a little with her words.
"What do you mean?" his voice a deep, rich, whisper. It was rare if he ever talked to her like this.
"It didn't stop them.......because they were cold-hearted......I try to not become such a horrible person as they, because I don't see the different between everyone, whether they be human, half-demon, or full demon. I don't see the difference and no matter what you are....you still have the control of your heart" she brought her gaze up to his glazed one, it immediately reminded her of the time when he was looking to Kikyo, but his eyes didn't consist of that soul-searching gaze......this time.....it was happier.
Kagome felt her heart clench painfully with expectation and she was ashamed of herself for that.
"Your not cold-hearted.......you accept me for what I am......you accept Genko for what he is.....why?"
She felt herself blush at that statement.
"Because...." she said softly, a smile adorning her face "your more than a Hanyou (half-demon) InuYasha, and you mean a lot to me....." she said feeling herself turn a deeper crimson with the thought of letting her tongue slip with her secret that kept her from an extreme heart-break.
InuYasha had his fair share of blushing as well.
"Genko?" he asked keeping eye contact with her.
She smiled "He's like a son to me.....like Shippo sort of......"
InuYasha kept silence overcome them again with an intense gaze that made Kagome's heart flutter with the speed of a hummingbird.
"I mean a lot to you.....?" he whispered out of the blue.
"Yes........"
"You're just saying that-"
"You don't know!" Kagome interrupted his statement and found some tears built in her eyes.
"D-don't c-c-cry!" InuYasha suddenly said smelling the horrible tang of salt that always made him feel guilty.
"You don't understand........" her eyes suddenly went dead as she retreated to her thoughts.
'He.......doesn't return-'
Kagome gasped all of the sudden and she felt large and warm arms encircle her fully, pulling her into InuYasha's lap and pressing her against his chest in the most loving embrace he ever gave her.
InuYasha was surprised at his own daring, pulling her into an embrace like that, it was weird though, when he did so.....his heart reached out to her, and went to some level he never felt before.
Kagome felt him hesitantly rest his head on top of hers in a very light weight, tears still running down her face out of confusion.
"Tell me Kagome....what don't I understand?" he asked in a pleading sort of way.
She unconsciously gripped his robe. "I can't say...."
He felt his heart start to grow sore at that but he just hugged her tighter.
She took the opportunity of it and took a deep breath through her nose; she caught the whiff of pine trees and wood smoke.
'Too bad they don't make a cologne of that......it's so calming.....'
"Mama!" a sudden little voice called out.
InuYasha and Kagome froze in the tree, InuYasha carefully and silently letting Kagome go and settle next to him on the branch.
"Mama!!!! Daddy!!!" the boy-ish voice started to drip with the evidence of tears.
Kagome bit her lip uncertainly and slid off the branch, and walked out to the staircase that descended to the village and found Genko climbing awkwardly up the steps, trails of tears running silently down his face.
"Oh Genko!" Kagome exclaimed in a whisper before rushing down to the boy and scooping him up in an embrace.
Genko buried his face into the crook of Kagome's neck and sobbed a little sob before trying to suck it up.
"You were supposed to stay with Sango and the others!"
"I wanted my Mama" he said quite plainly, trying his best to hide the evidence of tears.
"You shouldn't have left the hut!" she repeated to him "and what is making you cry like this, are you hurt?" Kagome asked him, keeping her voice calm.
"No, I wanted my Mama"
"Did you go all over the village?!" she asked him urgently.
He nodded into her shoulder and winced, expecting yells.
"Genko, listen to me good! Do not wander the village by yourself you hear me?!" Genko started to tremble but nodded again.
Kagome bit her lip and hugged him tighter, a wave of guilt washing over her "just don't do that again".
"And quit crying!"
Kagome whipped around and saw InuYasha, his eyes back to there sharpness and his hands hidden in his sleeves.
'Hard to believe that minutes ago he.....' she smiled at him, Genko's tears finally ceasing.
They finally got to Kaede's hut, and by the smell of it, Kaede was home.
Kagome smiled ear to ear as she deposited Genko in InuYasha's unexpected arms and dashed into the hut to say high to the well respected elder.
"Kagome! Child, how have ye been?"
"Great!" Kagome took up a seat next to the elder "you?"
"Normal, I've just been telling Lord Miroku and Lady Sango here of the demon that was plaguing InuYasha's forest, a great centipede" she told her, Miroku winced visibly at the memory of his own experience with a certain centipede.
The flap opened once more and InuYasha marched in Genko on his shoulders flicking his ears with his forefinger and giggling secretly when they twitched with annoyance.
"Oy, brat! Stop that!" InuYasha lifted the boy off his shoulders and unceremoniously dropped him in Kagome's lap receiving a half-hearted glare from Kagome.
"My...." Kaede whispered staring at the boy intently with her one good eye.
Genko stared back at the woman and took delicate sniffs with his nose that wrinkled after a few seconds.
"She stinks" he pronounced before going to play with his hands.
"GENKO!" Kagome exclaimed at him her eyes flashing dangerously with shock. "I'm sorry Kaede-"
"Who are you child?" Kaede asked Genko, brushing Kagome's apology to the side.
"Genko" he said plainly, never looking up from his hands.
"What are you doing here?" she asked calmly
Genko looked up and Sango immediately went into explanation, since she knew the tale so well.
About a half-hour later they were all still listening to Sango tell the tale and she just finished the part about the village and that boy.
Kaede sat in surprise, her eye a little wider than usual as she gazed at the boy.
"So this Child, is supposed to be ye child?" Kaede asked InuYasha and Kagome.
"That's what the incarnation said" InuYasha said gruffly.
"My, my he does look like InuYasha doesn't he?" she more or less asked herself.
Everyone remained silent to the empirical question and Genko shifted under Kaede's gaze, obvious of his discomfort.
Kaede served them the stew that she kept boiling through Sango's tale, it contained of wild fish in its own broth, and served with basil and chives, it was quite delicious.
They all fell asleep after their hearty meal, except for InuYasha, who was too concerned of that afternoon's events, than of her own sleep.
'What did she mean by that I didn't understand....and why won't she tell me?'
He was to sleep in the door way to protect his 'family' and his newfound son....no wait....his new 'son'.....right? He was supposed to be like Shippo...right?
Morning light once again entered the wooden windows of Kaede's hut and waking the group, one by one they got up, stretched and dressed, and as usual Kaede was the first to rise, start the fire and heat up the left over soup. Kagome was putting wood in the chimney when the sudden though struck her.
"Kaede, remember that stash of food supplies I asked you to hold for me?"
"Ay child"
"Where is it?"
Kaede froze for a minute and sighed heavily.
"Please do not turn anger to me child, but we had a downfall of rain over the past couple of days and......the box that I kept ye food in was swept downstream"
Kagome muttered to herself and placed a hand over her eyes.
"Forgive me child"
"No, no it's ok..."
"Then why are ye moaning?"
Kagome chuckled lightly, but it was cold "I know InuYasha isn't going to like this...."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE TO GO HOME?!?!?!" InuYasha's yell sounded over the late morning, just as the village started to get water for their livestock and start weeding the rice field.
"We ran out of food! I have to go back and get necessary's"
"NO!"
"I CAN GO HOME IF I WANT TO! ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT RAMEN!!!"
Silence sounded and a rumble from InuYasha's throat sounded out, he narrowed his eyes at Kagome and looked pretty mad.
"KEH! Go home, see if I care!"
He huffed and turned his back to her. Kagome gave him a warm smile and nodded gratefully.
"I'll be back in three days"
"Keh!"
Kagome leaned down and grabbed her backpack, after glancing at the small crowd that seemed to gather, she rolled her eyes and grabbed her bike that was parked against the side of Kaede's hut and started to pedal away towards the path to the well.
Shippo, who was leaning against the barred window and was also giving reports to Miroku, Sango and Kaede, who were keeping shelter as InuYasha and Kagome 'discussed' if she was to go home or not.
"She's gone" Shippo reported and hopped down off the high window to curl up in Sango's lap.
"That was fairly short" Miroku commented as he poured out himself a cup of tea that was bubbling over the hearth.
"And at least she didn't have to beg" Sango added.
"mm-hmm" Shippo added, nodding his head to excess the point.
InuYasha entered the hut, still growling and thumped down against the far wall.
Kaede looked up at him and allowed herself a small smile.
"How long will Kagome depart of us this time?"
"Keh!"
"Um...Inuyasha?" Sango asked uncertainly, her eyes narrowed with suspicion "have you seen Genko?"
"No, should I?"
Everyone stared at him
"Wasn't he outside with you and Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked urgently.
"He was supposed to be in the hut"
"The child wasn't...."
Everyone still kept their eyes on him.
"What?!"
"Go find him!!!" Shippo yelled.
InuYasha sighed heavily under the piercing gazes and got up and out of the hut.
'Stupid brat, running off and everyone thinking I had something to do with it!!!'
Genko stopped and plopped down behind a bush. He watched his parents fight about his Mama going home....wherever that was and was curious and why his Daddy didn't want her to leave. He silently waited for his daddy to go in the hut and he started following his Mama; running through the thick underbrush and tripping a couple of times over up-lifted roots, keeping and quiet as possible.
She finally stopped at this clearing and was sitting on the side of a well. Genko hid and was wondering on why his Mama was sitting on a well that was, by the smell of it, dry.
He watched her through the leaves as she suddenly slipped off the side of well and into the dark depths.
His eyes widened as he watched her go, he started running towards the side of the well, yelling "MAMA!" as he ran. He didn't stop at the side, but clumsily climbed over the side and toppled in. He closed his eyes wait for the hard earth to hit his small body, he cracked open his eyes realizing he wasn't hitting the ground anytime soon and found himself floating in a weird blue and black water-like aura.
He started to tremble as he saw a white light speeding toward him. He landed with a 'thump' as he hit the floor of what seemed to be the well....but for some odd reason, there wasn't any sunlight pouring down on him. He looked up to see an ancient wooden ceiling.
