Winter's Night: chapter 8
~ Inuyasha's POV ~
After 'ice skating', we walked back down the path of which we came, my arm firmly wrapped around her waist. The sky was still dark as we walked, and only a few stars were visible now. Must be the damned 'lights' from this place. I felt Kagome shiver slightly and looked down at her, squeezing her gently to get her attention.
"You cold?" I asked. She looked up at me and nodded.
"A little bit. I think the temperature's dropped a few degrees." Ok, so she is cold, but what the hell are degrees and temperature? I'll never understand her world.
I stopped and put my hat on her head. She blinked surprised and I pointed to my ears, as I flattened them to my head, making them not visible.
"Inuyasha why did you give this to me?" she asked quietly.
"Too keep you warmer, baka." I smiled and wrapped my arm back around her waist, pulling her with me as I started walking again. I felt her lean against me as we walked together, now at the path out of this place. We walked under an arch and out onto the black ground, heading back to the shrine. I sighed. This night had been actually fun and I didn't want it to end. I looked down at Kagome and noticed her eyes were closed halfway. I smirked and stopped walking, sweeping her off her feet into my arms. She shrieked from surprised and her arms wrapped around my neck. I gently kissed her and then pulled away, to start walking again, carrying her in my arms.
"Inuyasha..."
I looked down at her and saw her cheeks a light crimson color and her face turned towards my chest. I smiled at how cute she looked, and continued walking.
"Huh?" I replied.
"What if people stare at us with you carrying me like this?" She whispered, her voice holding a bit of embarrassment to it.
"So what if they do?" I shrugged. I looked down at her surprised face and smiled. "Who cares if they stare or even what they think?"
"You're right." She whispered, smiling up at me, and snuggling closer against me.
"Aren't I always?" I smirked. She hit me playfully in the chest laughing a little.
"Now who's the baka?"
"Hmm... you." I grinned earning another light hit from her.
"Jerk." She mumbled.
"Yeah, but you know you love me." I smiled down at her.
"Hmm... I don't know..." I watched her as she tapped her chin seemingly thoughtfully.
"Hey!" She giggled and leaned up, kissing my cheek.
"I was only joking, Inuyasha." She smiled. "You know I love you, and only you."
She snuggled back against me and I nodded. I continued to walk, silence now between us. I could see part of the shrine, when a scent hit my nose. I stopped and sniffed the air, looking around.
"What is it Inuyasha?" I heard Kagome ask. I didn't answer, as I continued to sniff the air. Then I saw where the scent was coming from.
"Ramen." I said looking down at her. She gave me a weird look and then looked at a cart near the shrine. She reached into the pocket of the pants she was wearing and pulled out some colored paper.
"Ok Inuyasha, let me down." I blinked, but obeyed and set her on her feet. She grabbed my hand and then pulled me towards the cart. I blinked when we reached the cart, and breathed in the savory aroma. Kagome sat down on something and then patted a similar thing next to hers. I blinked and gave her a confused look.
"It's a stool, you si-... uh..." she said thinking of something. "You set your butt on it." She grinned nervously. I gave her a flat look and sat on the 'stool' like she had. I looked up as a man came over to us.
"May I help you?" he asked.
"Yes, I need to bowls of Ramen, please." Kagome told him, and handed him some of the colored paper. The man nodded and went to another part of the cart to see another person. Kagome and I sat there in silence, me not really knowing what to say.
"So... when do you want to go back to your era?" Kagome said breaking the silence. "I mean we were supposed to go back this morning, but that didn't happen."
I nodded. "Yeah, the other's are gonna wonder what happened." I said. "But who cares, we can stay as long as you want, I guess." I turned to her, and smirked at yet another surprised look she was giving me. "I'm full of surprises today, aren't I?"
She nodded and smiled at me. "But they're good surprises."
Just then the man came back carrying two bowls of Ramen. He handed one to Kagome and then one to me. I sniffed it deeply and sighed. I went to dig in when I noticed the strange look the man was giving me. I narrowed my eyes and began to eat after he backed away, moving down to the other person again. I ate my Ramen with a little more decency than I usually did. Note only a little more decency. I still slurped. * ^^; *
Kagome and I ate in silence and when we were finished, set out bowls down and got up from the 'stools'. I stretched a little and my ass was stiff. Damned things. I watched Kagome get up and we walked to the shrine. We reached the top of the stairs and walked towards the house.
Suddenly, I saw her lose her balance, probably from ice. I jumped forward and caught her, but fell into the snow after I had got her. My back hit the snow, and I felt the cold and wet seeping into my clothes. Kagome, who was on top of my chest, scrambled to her feet and helped me sit up. I shook my head, to get the snow off of me, and stood up, brushing it off of my pants and backside. I heard giggling and looked up at Kagome. She reached out and took my hand, still giggling, and lead me into the house. We went up to her room and she left, coming back with some weird clothes. She told me to change and then left the room, closing the door behind her.
I sighed and stripped out of my clothing, slipping on the red boxers with paw prints on them, and then slipped on a pair of gray sweatpants. I picked up the shirt and examined it. I didn't like the feel of it, so I threw it in the corner. I opened the door and sniffed tentatively. The only scent that I picked up was Kagome's. That meant no one else was here. I grinned and left the room, walking downstairs to find Kagome sitting on the 'couch' thing, watching the 'TV'. I walked over and plopped down beside her, staring at the TV.
"Whatcha doin?" I asked turning to her. She looked at me and a deep crimson grew in her cheeks. I smirked mentally as she didn't answer and just continued to stare. "Kagome, it's not polite to stare you know."
She snapped out of her reverie and turned back to the TV, the blush on her cheeks only growing deeper. "I-I'm watching T-TV." She stuttered.
"Oh." I said wrapping my arm around her waist, pulling her closer to me. I watched her blush deepen and her fidget a little. I smiled and kissed her temple before turning to see what she was watching.
We watched the 'TV' for a little while in silence, but it got boring. "Hey Kagome, where'd your family go?" I asked breaking the silence.
"They went to my Aunt's house. Her power went out and she needed some help. They left a note saying that they'd be spending the night there, and probably wouldn't be back until tomorrow around noon, lunchtime." She said. I smiled and reached for the remote thing. I pressed a button and the TV went off. Kagome looked at me confused and I shrugged.
"I'm bored, let's do something." I said.
"Uh...ok... it's a little late, but how about play a game?"
"What kind of game?"
"A card game." She smiled and got up off the couch. I watched her walk into the kitchen and then come back with a little box in her hand. She sat on the floor and patted a spot in front of her. I got up and sat down in front of her as she passed out the 'cards'. I recognized them as something similar to what men used back in my era, and they reminded me of a game I had seen some of them play when women were around, playing with them.
"Ok, the name of the game is Speed." She continued on explaining it too me, but I became confused. After what seemed like a while, I finally got it and we played the game. Not exactly what I had in mind, but I have a plan on how to do what I want, and these cards might help. I smirked as I won my second game and Kagome pouted. Yes, before the night is out, I will make her mine.

Ok, that's it for chapter 8. It's now 1:34pm... wow that took awhile, but I had to do other stuff while writing this, so I guess it's not that bad. I actually think my writer's block has lifted! YAY! Thank you everyone for all the reviews, support, and pick-me-ups, it all helped! I'll try to get the next chapter out soon.
