Oi minna-san! THANK YOU ALL FOR THE REVIEWS!!! Here's another update.
I've been working since about 1:00pm and I just got home, and it's 6:17pm.
Oh, and just to let everyone know, next weekend there may not be an update
because I'll be out of town for a wedding. If I can, I'll try to type
another chapter during the week so that I can get it out before I go, but I
don't know if I'll be able to. It's the end of the 3rd marking period at
my school, so my teachers will be loading us down with last minute
assignments. Like just last week in math, Monday I had off, Tuesday I had
review, Wednesday I had a test, Thursday was more review, and then on
Friday I had a 30-week test, which is a test on all the material learned
over the last 30 weeks. Ugh! Now I know why they call my teacher the math
nazi. *sigh * Anyway, here's the update.
Oh and insomni-maniac guessed right, it's some VERY alcoholic, very good wine. ^_^;

Winter's Night: Chapter 10
~ Inuyasha's POV ~
I felt a warmth on my eyes and slowly opened them to the sun's rays shining in through a window and reflecting off what appeared to be a picture on the wall, into my eyes. I tried to shift myself, but couldn't because something was holding me down. I looked beside me and smiled softly. I gently stroked her hair and sighed. It hadn't been a dream as I had thought before I had fallen asleep. Kagome was now mine, my mate, my love. I held her closer and pulled the blanket up around us more. I gently kissed her forehead and looked over her, taking in the how peaceful and content she looked.
Suddenly a loud ringing sounded through the air and I jumped at the volume of it. I slipped off the couch, my back hitting the floor, and Kagome coming down on top of me, the blanket somehow managing to stay over us. I took a second to regain the air that had been knocked from my lungs from the fall. I glared at the little thing on the small table where the sound was coming from. I grabbed it and was about to throw it against the wall, when Kagome took it from me. I blinked and watched her push a button on it.
"Hello?" I heard her ask sleepily. I could barely hear a voice come through the little black thing and I watched as Kagome nodded and mumbled some 'yeahs' and 'oks'. She pushed another button on the thing and tossed it aside, curling back up against me. I blinked in confusion again and gently shook her.
"Kagome?"
"Yeah?" she mumbled.
"What was that?" I asked her.
"Oh, it was a phone, a way for people to communicate. It was my mom, her and my family will be home soon." She mumbled again and yawned. My eyes widened as my brain processed the information. Her family was on their way here, and here we are, curled up with one another on the floor, under a blanket, naked... Shit...
"Um, Kagome, your family is coming home now?"
"Yeah."
"Well, don't you think your family may be a little shocked to see us like this?" I watched her as she slowly opened her eyes, and then she jumped up.
"Crap!" she yelled and started to search for her clothes. I found mine, and slipped them on, finding hers beneath mine.
"Here." I handed them to her and she quickly pulled them on.
"There, now they won't know." She smiled and plopped down on the couch. I shook my head.
"What about that?" I asked pointing towards where we were playing cards last night. Empty bottles littered the floor, cards were everywhere, and there were those CD case things spread out near the stereo thing. I turned back to Kagome, her eyes wide and face pale. I walked over to her and waved my hand in front of her face. "Kagome?"
Suddenly she jumped up and ran over to the mess, picking up the bottles.
"Inuyasha pick up the cards." She said picking up the last bottle. "What am I going to do with these? If my mom sees them she'll flip, and even if we hide them she'll wonder why they're missing."
I walked over to her and took the bottles from her. "I'll take care of these, you pick up the cards and those things over there." I said motioning to the CD cases with my head.
"What are you going to do with them?" She asked as I turned to walk out of the room.
"Oh I've got an idea." I grinned and walked out, leaving her to finish cleaning. I sniffed the air a bit till I found the room I was looking for. I opened the door and looked around the big room. Spell scrolls and letters littered the floor and books lined the walls. I shook my head and placed the bottles on a table in the corner of the room. The old man must be really obsessed with the past, well, this era's past, to have all this stuff. I kicked some of the papers out of my way and walked over to a table by the futon to look at something that caught my eye. I looked at it and smiled once I realized what it was. It looked like a painting, only it was more realistic, of Kagome from when she was little. She was playing with a little kitten and was dressed in clothes that seemed way to big for her. I laughed and walked out of the room, closing the door behind me.
I walked back into the room where Kagome was cleaning to find it spotless and my mate missing. I heard a thump above me and turned, walking up the stairs. I knocked opened the door to she her changing her clothes. I smiled and watched her quietly as she threw off her night clothing and pull on strange clothing, but not her usual clothes. She turned toward me and she must've noticed me standing there, with the door partway open because a blush crept into her cheeks.
"Uh... what're you doing?" she asked, the blush still there.
"I came to find you." I answered.
"Oh. Uh, well I had to get dressed."
"I noticed." I smirked as her blush deepened.
I heard something downstairs and sighed.
"Kagome dear, we're home!" I heard Kagome's mom yell. Kagome ran over to where I was, pulling me inside her room as she looked out the door.
"Ok mom, I'll be right down." She yelled back. She then walked out of the room and came back a couple minutes later with some weird clothing in her hands. Where she kept getting these clothes was beyond me. She walked over to me and handed me the clothes. "Put those on."
I blinked and looked at the weird clothes. "What are they?"
"They're clothes."
"No really?" I said sarcastically.
"Oh sorry. These" she said holding up a pair of whitish-tan pants. "are khakis. That is a t-shirt, and this" she held up black shirt with long sleeves and an open front. "is a dress shirt. You put it on over the t- shirt and then you either button it up, or keep it open."
"Ok..." I said as I took the stuff from her. I easily slipped the t-shirt on over my head, and then took off my pants, pulling on the 'khakis'. I went to put on the black shirt, when Kagome stopped me. "What?"
"You have to zip up the khakis and button them." she said. I blinked and looked at her confused.
"I have to what?"
She sighed and blushed slightly. "I'll uh... show you..." I watched her as her hands pulled a metal thing on the pants, and then fastened the button on them. I could feel the heat rush to my cheeks while she did this and I looked at her face to see it probably as red as mine was.
"T-Thanks..." I mumbled out as I slipped the black shirt on. I decided not to mess with the buttons and left it hang. "Is that it?" I asked as I felt my face cool down, but only a little bit. I watched her as she looked me over and then go to her desk picking something up off of it. She motioned for me to sit on the bed and I did. She came over to me, and then sat down behind me. I felt something run through my hair and turned to see what she was doing.
"What? I'm gonna brush your hair for you." She said, noticing my confused look. I nodded and turned back around. She started to brush my hair again and I couldn't help but sigh. It felt kind of weird having her do this, but it was kind of nice. When she was done, I felt her tie my hair back rather loosely.
"All done." She said as she got up from behind me. I nodded and stood up, stretching slightly.
"Kagome, why did you have me dress this way?" Too tell the truth I had been wondering this the whole time, but tried to ignore it. However my curiosity got the better of me, so I had to ask.
"Well... I was kind of hoping we could go do some more fun things today, before we go back to the feudal era." She said looking down at her feet. "But if you don't want to, I understand, and I can go get your clothes."
I sighed and walked over to her. I grabbed her chin gently and lifted her face to look at me.
"Kagome, don't." I said. "Don't act like this." I smiled and lowered my face closer to hers, kissing her lips softly.
"D-Does this mean that we can stay?" she asked after our lips parted.
"What did you think I'd say no?"
"Well... yeah..."
"Baka." I whispered. "I wouldn't make you unhappy like that. Besides, we can leave Miroku and Sango wondering for one more day."
She smiled and threw her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly. I wrapped my arms around her and returned the embrace.
"Thank you Inuyasha." She whispered. I smiled and held her close.
"So, what exactly are we going to do?" I asked pulling back enough to look at her.
"Well, first we're going to have to get passed my family." She said, looking down a little.
"Oh." I mouthed. "Should we tell them?" I asked her quietly.
She shook her head. "Not yet." She whispered.
"We're going to have to tell them sometime Kagome."
"I-I know... just not now, ok?"
I nodded sensing her distress about the subject. "You know I'll be there when you tell them."
"You better be." She said looking up at me. I smiled as the fire returned to her eyes and I kissed her again.
"Shall we go then?" I asked once our lips separated again. She smiled at me.
"Yes we shall."

Ok, there you have it, chapter 10. It's a little longer than the others, so I hope that's ok. It's now 7:49pm. Dang, that took long to type. I hope it's ok. Towards the end, I really didn't know what to do, so I just went with what my mind told me to do. This chapter kind of sounds like a filler doesn't it? *sigh * I tried. I think my writer's block is coming back... I'm sorry people... I seem to have this problem where I get good ideas, and then none. I hope I can do better. Let me know how I'm doing, like you always do.
Please Review.
Ja ne till next time~!
