Chapter 14

Kagome, Inuyasha, and Keya arrived at Kagome's house. She let Inuyasha on her bed and Keya sit on the pillow. Inuyasha was still rubbing his head from when he crashed into the tree.

"Does it still hurt Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she sat on the bed and rested her back on the wall.
"It hurts a lot! The pain stops when I hit my head though." He replied with whining.
"Okay, I'll be right back; I need to get medicine for Keya and something for your head." She said as she walked out of her room. Inuyasha curled into a ball with his little hands holding his head.
"This hurts, stupid tree!" He said as he heard Kagome walking back. Kagome heard him even; she knew he didn't like pain.
"Here Keya, I put some herbs in the water so you could get better. Inuyasha, chew these, it will help you head though I doubt you need them because of your demon side." She explained.

Inuyasha took the two chewable tablets from her and chewed them. He liked them, he wanted more but Kagome said no so he pouted.

"Well Inuyasha, you might as well go to sleep now since it's almost night time, or do you want a bath?" She asked.
"BATH TIME!!!" He squealed like a little toddler as he jumped off the bed.
"Okay, I'll run some water for you then." She said.
"Are you going to take one too?" Inuyasha asked.
"I took my earlier today; I'll take one with you tomorrow." She replied.
"Okay. Can you do that hair stuff like last time?" He asked. He didn't know what shampoo or conditioner was, but then again... no one else did in feudal Japan.
"Sure, but after your bath time its bed time. Don't say your not tired when its time to sleep either." She said.
"But I'm not sleepy tonight, I'm wide awake!" He complained but Kagome just smiled.
"I know that tonight is the new moon, so don't try to fool me." She laughed lightly and Inuyasha's shocked face.
"How do you know about it?!" He jumped on the bed a bit scared.
"It's alright Inuyasha, I've seen you human form lots of times, actually... I've seen it every month since I've met you. The first time I saw you transform during the new moon you trusted me about it." She explained to him.
"You've seen me, as a human, during the new moon? No one has ever seen me as one except my mother." She explained.
"It's okay, now come on. It's time for your bath." She said.

Inuyasha grabbed her hand and followed her to the bathing room. He removed his clothes and Kagome lifted him in the water. It was between hot and cold so consider it was mild temperature for him. Kagome's mom knocked on the door saying she bought some day clothes and night clothes for Inuyasha. Kagome thanked her and grabbed Inuyasha a pair of pajamas and a towel while Inuyasha was playing in the water. Kagome then shampooed and conditioned his hair; he felt so relaxed and enjoyed it. When he got out with the help of Kagome he shook his body like a dog and got Kagome soaked. They both laughed and Kagome grabbed the towel and dried off the remains that he didn't dry off and then helped him put on pajamas to sleep in. Then she carried him into the room and watched the sun set. She saw Inuyasha hid under the blanket on her bed because he didn't like to be seen as a human.

Kagome giggled a little and sat on the bed staring at the big lump in the bed. After 5 minutes she removed the covers from him and asked why he was hiding. He said he didn't want her to see him as a disgusting human.

"You're saying that we humans are disgusting?" Kagome tried to sound a little hurt.
"No... I didn't mean it like that!" He whined like a little kid and went to hug Kagome saying that he considered himself as a disgusting human.
"No you're not." Kagome simply said.
"Yeah! Just look at me!" He took three steps back and looked serious.
"I am looking at you. I see a young hanyou who can't accept the fact that he's part human. You're not a disgusting human. I remember the pain that you've been through just because they pick on you but its okay." Her voice was soothing and calmed Inuyasha down who was sitting on the ground pouting.

Kagome got off from the bed and knelt down to him and whispered in his ear. "We love you for who you are, remember that." She said. Inuyasha looked up to her with sadden eyes of happiness. Kagome lightly smiled and picked him up and tucked him in her bed. Kagome on the other hand just slept on the ground against the wall. She figured Inuyasha would want to sleep alone.

She turned off the light and said goodnight to Inuyasha and Keya.

She felt something cuddling against her and looked, it was Keya. It looked like she got a little bit bigger/older today with out seeing it. She didn't really care; she knew it was because Keya was a demon. Kagome patted Keya's head and started to go to sleep by Kagome's side.

Kagome heard Inuyasha rustling in her bed and couldn't stay still, she knew he was awake and couldn't fall asleep.

"Inuyasha... go to sleep, it's almost midnight." She said in a low voice.
"But demons might come after me if I sleep in this form." He whined as he popped his head over her bed to see her.
"No demon will come after you here." She simply said.
"I smelt some earlier but they were weak." He let out a small childish whimper then Kagome smiled.

"Come here." She simply said.

Inuyasha whined a little more and got out of her bed but took the blanket down with him like it was his blanket and went toward her.

"Are you cold Inuyasha?" She asked concernedly and he nodded.

Kagome took the blanket for a moment and folded it so I could be his size. She wrapped him inside the blanket and asked if that was better. When he nodded she motioned him to come closer and she picked him up and secured him safely in her arms. He instantly snuggled his head into her body of warmth.

"Still think that demons will get you?" She whispered in his ear.
"No, I know that I'm safe now. Thanks mommy." He said.

She smiled at him then rested her head on his and they closed their eyes to go to sleep.

'I'm glad to know Inuyasha trusts me. But I don't know if I can accept him calling me his mother. Maybe it's for the best; he needs a mom. Oh boy... tomorrow I have school and Inuyasha won't like that one bit. Please understand tomorrow morning Inuyasha.'

Kagome was listening to Inuyasha's breathing; she could tell that he was asleep now as well as Keya was too. She was happy that she could be there for them. She pushed the rest of the thoughts out of her mind and drifted off to sleep.

"Kagome, mom wants to know if you're going to school today?" Souta asked.

Kagome opened her eyes a nodded and poked the silver haired hanyou.
"Inuyasha, wake up, I need to get ready for school now." She said softly.

Inuyasha rolled over in Kagome's lap saying he didn't want to. Kagome sighed for a moment thinking of one way to get him up. She put her gentle hands on his waist sides and then started to tickle him. Inuyasha kept rolling around to make her stop. Eventually Inuyasha gave up and got up.

Kagome explained to both Inuyasha and Keya what school was and how they can't come with her and they could only stay here. They can only come when school end which was at 3pm.

She told Inuyasha that if he did come, he would have to wear a hat again.

After she got ready she asked her mother and gramps to take care of Inuyasha and Keya. She said that if Keya and Inuyasha want to go get her after to its okay to let them because they know her scent very well.

After that everyone ate breakfast including Inuyasha, Keya, and Buyo. She patted the three on the head as she was leaving out the door.

"Bye guys see you later, take care!" She sounded like she was rushing.

Inuyasha and Keya looked sad that she left. There wasn't anything for them to do except stay inside her room, eat, and sleep. Possibly go outside but thought it was too dangerous without it.

Keya whimpered and lowered her ears with her tail behind her legs. Inuyasha just sighed; he wanted to go to this school of hers and see what she did but wasn't allowed to go near it till after 3pm.

When Inuyasha finished eating he went upstairs with Keya and went in Kagome's room to look around it. It seemed to be the only thing for them to do anyways.
