*******************************************
This time it was Shippo who woke up first. He blinked a couple of times and looked around *A cabin* He though to himself. He looked up at Inu Yasha and Kagome and smiled. They looked so peaceful. He coughed a bit which wakes Kagome. She blinks her eyes and looks down at Shippo. Her eyes widen with happiness. "Shippo, you're awake!" She said.
Inu Yasha wakes up at Kagome's voice and looks at Shippo. He smiles, glad to see Shippo alright. "Kagome...Inu Yasha..." Shippo says before letting out a couple weak coughs. Kagome feels Shippo's head and says "You still feel hot." She gets up with a small sigh.
Inu Yasha begins to tend to the fire, for it had begun to die down, and Kagome wraps Shippo in the blanket. She lays Shippo on the bed of hay and gives him some medicines. Shippo makes some face at the taste of the meds. Kagome and Inu Yasha smiled and giggle a little when they saw the faces he made.
"You rest now Shippo. If you need anything I'll be happy to get it for you." Kagome says with a sweet smile. She brushes back his hair. Shippo smiles back and nods to her.
"Can I have some chocolate, Kagome?" Kagome smiles and goes through her pack and finds a heresy kiss. She un-wraps it and gives it to Shippo. He gladly eats it quickly.
"Now no more chocolate till you get better. You need to eat healthy so you can get better." Kagome say placing her hand on his cheek. Shippo nods and rest his head. He looks at Inu Yasha who was tending to the fire.
"Kagome, we are running out of wood. We may have enough to last for tonight. But we might not be able to venture out tomorrow." Inu Yasha says as he puts a log into the fire. Kagome sighs. *This isn't looking good.* She began to think. The storm wasn't letting up and she didn't know if Shippo was going to be alright to travel tomorrow.
"Cut the wood in half. We need to stretch it as long as we can." Kagome said to Inu Yasha. He nods and goes into the closet and begins to cut the wood.
Kagome looks back at Shippo and sees that he had fallen asleep already. She smiles and pushes the pail, half way full of water and brings it closer to the fire. She looks at Shippo when she hears him cough. She touches his head with her fingers.
Once the water in the pail was warm enough she pulls it back to her and put the washcloth into the water. She put the washcloth on his head like the day before. Inu Yasha comes out of the closet and hugs Kagome from behind. Kagome jumps a bit and splashes Inu Yasha with some water.
"Hey" Inu Yasha says in surprise. "Shhh, he's sleeping." Kagome says with a little giggle. Inu Yasha nods and he look at Shippo. His hand wanders to Kagome's hand and they grasp each others hand. They lean closet to each other as they watch Shippo sleep. Kagome takes the washcloth off of his head and dips it into the water. She rings it out and places it on Shippo's head.
Inu Yasha smiles, "You would make and excellent mother someday." Kagome blushes, she slowly moves her hand away form Shippo and looks at Inu Yasha. "Actually, I think you already are." Kagome gives him a puzzled look. "I mean to Shippo you are." Kagome smiles at this and hugs Inu Yasha.
Unknown to them, Shippo had woken up but had his eyes close enough so that he can see them but they wouldn't be able to tell that he was awake. He inwardly laughed at his cleverness.
"And you are an excellent father to Shippo" Kagome says still in a tight hug with Inu Yasha.
He smiles and nuzzles her hair. "Kagome, there's something I've been wanted to tell you for such a long time." Kagome lets go of him and looks at him. "Ever since I met you, I had felt something for you. I didn't really know what it was and I had just thought that it was just that you reminded me of Kikyo. Later I knew it wasn't that. You were the first to like me for who I am and didn't want to change me at all. You make me happy and always drive away bad thoughts. Before meeting you I had always felt empty inside, but you, you make me feel whole" He pauses for a minute to look into her eyes. "Kagome, I love you. I always have and I always will." Tears of joy fall from Kagome's eyes. She hugs him tightly. Inu Yasha returns the hug and closes his eyes. He misses the huge smile displayed on Shippo's face.
"I love you too, Inu Yasha. When I first saw you, I was in awe. I had never seen anyone like you. It hurt me when ever you were looking, thinking, or going anywhere near Kikyo. I love you more than anything and I wouldn't want you to ever leave me. Promise me right now that you'll never leave me. You mean more to me than life itself. I don't want this moment to end. I want time to stop so that I can be with you for the rest of forever."
Tears begin to fall form Inu Yasha's eyes. "I will never leave you. Not now, not ever. You mean the world to me and I can never think of ever hurting you." They look at each other and get closer (if possible). They begin to kiss, deeply and lovingly. The world beneath them seen to stop, along with time.
Their moment was interrupted when they hear a little giggle followed by a sneeze. They look at the direction it came from at the smiling 'sleeping' Shippo. They smile and Kagome winks at Inu Yasha. She then gets her bag and looks for her Chocolate bar.
"Looks like there's one left. Let's share it my love." Kagome says as she snuggles to close to Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha nods. Shippo smile fades seeing them about to eat his favorite food. Kagome begins to 'open' the wrapper when she hears Shippo cries out "No, you promised me I can have chocolate when I'm better, not Inu Yasha." Kagome begins to giggle at her little trick.
"And you were spying on us" Inu Yasha says with a smile. He didn't like the rude interruption from being with Kagome but he was still worried for Shippo. Shippo flinches thinking he was going receive a punch for spying but was amazed that nothing had happen to him and that Inu Yasha didn't seam all that mad about it.
After her little giggle fit, Kagome begins to cook some ramen. Inu Yasha give the reluctant Shippo more medicine as patiently as he can.
"ewww, no, not that stuff again" Shippo whines. Her tries to push it way and keep his mouth shut.
"Come on, you have to take it, Kagome says so." Inu Yasha says, getting angry at the struggling kitsune.
"Think of this Shippo, if you take it will help you get better faster and the faster you get better the faster you can have some more chocolate" Kagome says not looking away from her cooking but smiling knowing what was going on behind her.
Shippo smiles at this and takes the medication out of Inu Yasha's hands. He downs the medicine and makes more faces. He coughs a bit and rest against the hay. Inu Yasha feels his head and smiles. "Seems like you fever has gone down. You look a lot better too." He smiles and looks at Kagome.
"Dinner's ready." She announces. Inu Yasha nods and helps Kagome serve the dishes. Kagome picks up Shippo and begins to spoon feed him. Shippo smiles, liking the treatment that he was getting, but didn't like that he was be treated like a baby.
"Aw, look at the cute little baby Shippo." Inu Yasha jokes. Shippo sticks his tongue out at Inu Yasha and looks up at Kagome.
"I can feed myself; I'm feeling a lot better now." Kagome nods and lets him sit on the floor, leaning on her legs. Shippo feeds himself. Inu Yasha downs his bowl and goes for seconds. Kagome smiles as she eats thinking of Inu Yasha's joke and seeing how much better Shippo looked. *maybe we can go tomorrow, if the storm settles that is.*
They all finish their meal and got into the same sleeping position as the last two nights. Shippo snuggles closely to Kagome. Before falling asleep Shippo says tiredly "Thank you Kagome and Inu Yasha." They smile at him as they watch him sleep. Kagome snuggles closer to Inu Yasha. He hugs her and Shippo tightly. Kagome lightly touches Shippos cheek.
"I love you mommy and daddy" Shippo says in his sleep. Both Inu Yasha and Kagome were shocked at this. They looked at each other and smiled. They were like a family and they felt it to be true. They kiss yet again and soon fall asleep.
