Dark
.......
What's that? Light......
Light?!
Kagome stirred on her mat, a low groan escaping her throat as the view of Kaede's warm hut floated into view, not to mention three blurry silver blobs, two black blobs, and a red-headed one. Also there was a light pressure on her chest.
Kagome brought a hand to her temple but with her motion brought on two of the highest voices she ever heard in her life.
"YOU'RE AWAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The light pressure on Kagome's chest just got heavier and one of the silver blobs and the red-headed one came closer to her view.
"Kagome child?"
That was Kaede's voice....
"Oh you're awake Kagome-chan"
Sango?
"Glad to have you with us lady Kagome"
That lecher.
"You brats get off her!"
Oh I wonder who that is. Kagome almost giggled at her sarcasticness.
Kagome gave her head a light shake as the multi-colored blobs came to form her friends, and a frantic, teary eyed Genko and Shippo.
"MAMA!!!!!"
Genko practically threw himself at Kagome as she started to sit up, sending her back onto the futon and having the wind knocked out of her.
"Brat! What did I just say?!?!?!?"
Genko brushed his father off and continued hugging his mother.
"Mama! Oh im sooooooo sorry" add a tighter hug.
Kagome felt her heart bend out of happiness and gave Genko a weak squeeze back.
Shippo felt his heart go a little sore and bit InuYasha's restraining hand and hugged Kagome too.
"Hey there Shippo" Kagome gave a warm smile at the baby fox.
"Here child" Kaede handed Kagome a small clay teacup filled with green tea. "That should soothe thy pain that still may reside in ye wounds"
Kagome gave Genko and Shippo another little squeeze before reaching for the cup with both hands, Genko and Shippo slid off her lap and onto the wood next the futon.
Kagome sipped at her tea, her eyes a little glassy and constantly flicking towards Genko.
'How did he turn back?'
Kagome stole a small glance at InuYasha.
'Something happened....I know it'
PB
A weak flame flickered as a glowing log split with a loud 'CRACK!'
Kagome woke with a start and stared at the flame that disturbed her sleep before checking to see if anyone else had woken; Genko and Shippo were curled against each other in Kagome's unfurled sleeping bag. Kagome still lay on the light-colored futon; Sango rested her head on a large Kirara who kept her warm with her large twin tails. Miroku lay not far from her, but from a safe distance if his hand was to 'wander' in the night, Kaede slept on a thick mat opposite of Kagome and InuYasha slept sitting up near the end of her futon. Kagome stared at him a little more, his silver locks gently tickled the hilt of his heirloom and his face was bowed gently. The futon was on the raised floor of the hut but the full-moon light still leaked through the hanging tatami mat and gave him an otherworldly glow.
InuYasha felt uncomfortable suddenly from his light sleeping form and woke slowly to find a Kagome staring at him through half-lidded eyes.
Amber stared at chestnut for a couple of moments before the amber quirked his eyebrow.
"What's wrong?"
Kagome bit the corner of her lip and propped herself on her elbow, her ebony locks fell over her crooked arm and the moonlight gleamed off her neck bandage, letting the fresh memories of early that morning to his mind.....
"Can't sleep very well....."
"Keh"
Kagome blushed and became fascinated with the grain in the wood.
"What's wrong?"
"It's just a little stuffy in here...."
InuYasha let out an annoyed sigh, stood up and placed Tetsusaiga back in his belt.
"Can ya stand or what?"
Kagome gave him an inquisitive look and tried to stand but her stomache hurt from the stretching of her wounds.
"Keh! Weak......" his voice trailed off as he stooped and scooped Kagome up bridal style.
"InuYasha!"
"Shut it; don't want the lecher and the demon exterminator giving me hell if you wake them up with your yelps!"
Kagome bit her lip.
PB
"This is nice...." Kagome commented as InuYasha settled her next to himself.
"Not as 'stuffy' out here"
"Yea..."
Kagome took a deep breath of the slightly moist summer night air and felt the chill of the breeze go right down to her bones. It was a gorgeous night, the sky was a heavy black and twinkling dots adored it and crowded the heavenly orb that was a moon.
Wait a minute.
The moon wasn't an orb....it was a crescent, a thin one at that, in a couple of nights, it would be the new moon........ InuYasha would lose his powers for one night.
'I wonder if that will happen to Genko?'
Kagome whispered Genko's name aloud and InuYasha turned one of his fuzzy ears towards her.
"What about Genko?"
"I was just wondering.....say InuYasha?"
"Yea, what?"
"What happened earlier today....to Genko I mean?" Kagome turned her head to the dog-eared boy and found him staring at the crescent. He let out a sigh and brought his gaze to the woven reed-roof of Kaede's hut, his eyes going glassy in thought and sad remembrance.
"That stupid kid....... I don't know half of it but he had run into the forest by the time I saw you there.....all scratched up.....he must have ran into the area of the Sacred tree.....when I found him....." InuYasha trailed off, contemplating if he could.....or should tell Kagome about his meeting with Kikyo.
"He ran into the forest....." Kagome stated.
"Yea...."
"You didn't go after him?"
"Like I would leave you in the clearing where other demons would have finished you off to go gallivanting after Genko when I had no idea if he was still dangerous?"
Kagome sweat-dropped, he did have a point.
"Thought so, I brought you to Kaede's hut and Miroku with Sango and Kirara went out to find the whelp...... they were stopped by a barrier" InuYasha made up his mind.
"Barrier.....?"
"They came back to the hut empty handed and told me what happened.....and what they saw. It turns out Kikyo's soul catchers were flying around and they were positive that somehow, Genko found his way to Kikyo...."
Kagome felt her heart sore a little; so Genko found Kikyo and she forced InuYasha to come and get him.....
"They figured I was the only one able to pass through her barrier, so I went to look for him...... they were right, her barrier let me pass and it turns out she pinned him to the sacred tree with her shikigami (the soul catchers, miko magic, usually used with paper), I didn't know what to do, she approached me and sparked me before she had to 'make me understand'....."
"Understand what?" Kagome unconsciously inched closer to InuYasha, her eyes going soft.
"That.....that she didn't really love me, that we were just two lonely souls that seeked another equal...."
Kagome's eye shot wide open, her heart hurting more with the passing thought.
'She broke his heart'
"And that I never really loved her......."
'WHAT?!?!?!"
"She also told me her plan; she's decided that instead of dragging her to hell, she wants to bring Naraku.....and the jewel....."
"Oh InuYasha....."
"What?!" he felt terrible right now and damn agitated.
Kagome felt bold in the naked moonlight, she snaked her arm around his and intertwined he hand with his clawed fingers to give them a squeeze. She lightly let her forehead rest against his shoulder and gently let her eyelids close in thought.
'He must feel so bad right now.....'
InuYasha froze at the closeness, his mind racing with the same thought over and over.....
'What do I do?'
So he did the only thing natural.....
He squeezed her hand back.
Kagome's eyes snapped open and she looked upwards to find InuYasha's soft gaze, almost thankful.....and caring, a little confused, but caring.
'What?!'
"She was right Kagome"
InuYasha's serious statement carried out through the silent, sleeping village.
Kagome gave him a shocked and tightened her grip on his hand; she stared at his handsome face to see what emotion it reflected and was shocked once more to find it more...relieved....her heart grew warm.
'I don't know what to say InuYasha.....'
InuYasha turned to her to look her in the eye and gave her his classic smirk. He found himself leaning tantalizingly slow towards Kagome's face, and was shocked by the fact that she was starting to close the distance. He could only see every aspect of her stunning eyes that started to drift close, InuYasha took his cue and fluttered them close himself, he felt her warm breath on his lips and the light brushing of smooth skin as she gave him a chaste kiss.
"I'm sorry!" Kagome exclaimed at the realization of what she just did.
InuYasha gave her a stronger smirk and took his hand from hers only to wrap it around her waist to pull her closer.
"Your forgiven" InuYasha's voice was low and husky, fire gleamed in his molten eyes and he leaned forward and caught Kagome's lips in a more passionate kiss.
Kagome felt a little startled but quickly relaxed and snaked one of her hands through his soft silvery locks to the back of his neck to pull him closer, the other to keep herself propped up. She smiled against him and relished the moment and was glad that InuYasha was enjoying himself just as much as she was.
PB
The scenery was truly romantic Miroku and Sango had to admit as they spied from bushes next to Kaede's hut, they woke when they heard InuYasha wake them up from his sharp command and decided to spy for the fun of it....and for the fact that they couldn't get back to sleep.
"Kagome-chan...." Sango's eyes wee a little wide at the boldness but she was mentally cheering her on, and couldn't help the jealousy that grew steadily. She's been engaged for and never been kissed!
'You're so lucky'
"InuYasha you sly ol' dog"
Sango let out a heavy sigh as the 'holy' figure pulled her away from her romantic thoughts about herself and said figure.
"You're such a lecher"
"But I'm your lecher"
Sango quirked an eyebrow and a smirk at the new comeback
'Good one'
PB
