Winter's Night: Chapter 16
~ Inuyasha's POV ~
I hid myself on the roof of one of the shrine's buildings, and stayed there. Why did her mother have to be that way, why couldn't she just accept us being together? It's because I'm hanyou, part youkai. Our pup will be part youkai too, so that's why she wanted it gone too.
I growled and punched the roof. What the hell is wrong with people? Why can't they accept me for what I am? A sound interrupted my thoughts and I looked down at the house to see Kagome opening her window a little bit. She disappeared back into her room and I looked to where the sun had just disappeared behind the horizon. Just a little while longer and we'd be out of here, away from this place.
I glanced over the city and the shrine. Kagome was willing to leave all this so that she could be with me. Was I really worth that much, that she's willing to leave her home so suddenly for who knows how long? I mean, sure she used to leave here all the time for shard hunts, but she would only stay for a week and then come back here. Now, who knows when or if she's even going to want to come back here.
I shook my head to clear my thoughts. I laid back on the roof that I was on and stared up at the sky, watching the mood steadily rise higher. Just a little longer...
+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
"Inuyasha, are you out there?" My ears twitched at the voice. I sat up and saw Kagome looking out her window, opening it all the way. She looked around and then went back into her room. She didn't see me. I stretched and jumped down from the roof to the ground below. Time had passed slowly, and I think I fell asleep for a little bit.
I walked over to the house, careful not to make any sound, and I jumped up to Kagome's window. I landed and looked in. She was lying on her stomach on her bed, facing the door. I leaned a little more into the room and noticed her writing something.
"Kagome?" I asked quietly, but loud enough for her to hear. She jumped a little and turned to me.
"Don't scare me like that." She said sitting up.
"You knew I was coming, so how could you be scared?" I smirked. She narrowed her eyes a little at me, but the looked down at the papers in her hand, folding the up and writing something on each of them. "What are those?"
"Notes to my family, telling them what's going on and where I'm going." She said, getting up and placing the letters on her desk. "I have to left Grandpa and Souta know, and I can't exactly go tell them."
I nodded and climbed into her room all the way. "Are these what you're taking?" I asked motioning to the bags on her bed.
"Yeah. Tetsusaiga is there too." She said putting on her heavy coat from earlier. I moved one of the bags and picked up Tetsusaiga. I went to slide it through the part of my fire rat pants, only to realize I was still wearing clothes from this era.
"Uh... Kagome, where's my kimono?" She looked over at me and blinked.
"Oh, it's downstairs. I'll go get it, everyone is asleep, so I should be able to." She said opening her door. She walked out and I heard her soft footsteps as she went down the stairs. I picked up the bags and slug them over my shoulder, laying Tetsusaiga back on the bed.
She came back up a few minutes later, my kimono in her arms, and a pair of shoes in hand and a pair of those boot things in another. She took one of the bags from my shoulders and opened it placing my kimono inside and the pair of shoes. She handed the bag back to me and I looked at her a little confused.
"You can change into your kimono when we get back. Right now we have to go, I think my mom heard me downstairs." She said sliding her feet into the boots. I nodded and picked her up in my arms. She looked a little startled at first, but then snuggled against me. I jumped out the window, and ran to the well house. I set her down, and she opened the door. We stepped inside and walked over to the well.
"Are you sure about this?" I asked looking at her. She turned her gaze from the well to me and smiled.
"Would we be this far if I wasn't?" She kissed me lightly and I picked her back up in my arms. I smiled down at her and leapt into the well. The familiar blue aura surrounded us and pulled us through to the other side. My feet touched the cold snow in the bottom of the well, and I looked up to see the night sky above us, the stars shining brightly. I jumped out of the well, Kagome still in my arms, and took in a deep breath. It was good to be back. The air was lighter, cleaner and everything was calm, at least now it was.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered. I looked down at her, and she curled up in my arms more.
"Hmm?" I asked quietly. She looked up at me, her eyes a little watery.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing, I'm just... tired, that's all. Can we go to the village now?" I nodded, though I knew that she wasn't telling the truth, but I didn't want to push her. I leaned my head down, and kissed her softly, before walking towards the village.
The snow was a little less here than in the modern era, so it wasn't hard to walk through. The cold wind stirred around us, and I could feel Kagome shiver in my arms. I held her closer and quickened my pace. We got to the edge of the village just as it began to snow again. The small white flakes fell slowly at first but picked up as we reached Kaede's hut.
I moved aside the flap quietly, expecting everyone to be sleeping, but when I walked in, they were sitting around a fire. Miroku who was facing the doorway widened his eyes when I had stepped inside carrying Kagome. He stood up causing Sango and Kaede to look and take notice of our presence.
"Inuyasha..." Miroku blinked. His eyes went to Kagome and widened a little. "Is Lady Kagome ok?"
I nodded. "She fell asleep on the walk here." I said, walking over to a futon placed near the far corner of the room. I laid her down on it and removed her boots and coat. I then opened one of the bags and pulled my haori from it. I covered her with it and closed the bag back up, setting both bags down at the foot of the futon. I sighed and sat down beside her, my back against the way. I ran a hand through my bangs and looked at the group. They stared at me with confused looks and I shook my head.
"Long story, we'll tell you tomorrow." I told them quietly as to not wake Kagome. They nodded but still stared. "What?" I asked somewhat annoyed with them starring.
"Are ye alright Inuyasha?" Kaede asked me.
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Kagome came back a couple weeks ago and said you were badly injured. She got a scroll from Miroku to conceal your demon blood, and we knew it would slow your healing. We're just a little surprised to see you up and moving, though we really shouldn't be." Sango said.
"Feh." I said half-heartedly. I yawned and rubbed one of my eyes. "I still am a little weak from my injuries, but since Kagome removed the scroll and my demon blood is no longer weakened, then I should be fine by tomorrow." I said before yawning again. Damnit, why am I yawning so much?
"Ye look tired, Inuyasha." Kaede said rising from her spot on the floor.
"Yeah, well it's been a long day." I said.
"I'm sure it has." She said and then turned to Miroku and Sango. "Ye two should get some sleep as well." They nodded and got up, moving to their futons. I noticed that Shippo and Kirara were already asleep on Sango's futon and she laid down beside them. Miroku laid on his futon, which was closer to Sango's than usual. I yawned again, causing my eyes to close, and I jumped when I felt something fall on top of me. I looked down at a blanket that was now on top of me and looked up at Kaede.
"It is cold, ye should have something to keep you warm." She said before walking to a different room of the hut to sleep. I sighed and looked around the hut again. Everyone already had their eyes closed, and their breathing was slow and rhythmic. I slide down to lay on the floor beside Kagome, and pulled the blanket around myself some more. It actually was pretty cold.
I looked at Kagome and smiled. She was curled up on her side underneath my haori, facing me. I gently brushed a couple strands of hair from her forehead and gently kissed her.
"Good night Kagome." I whispered, pulling the blanket up around my neck some more for warmth. My eyes drifted shut and I felt myself fade off into a peaceful unconsciousness.

There you have it, chapter 16. I know it's not long, and there's not much to it. The thing is, that I think my first week back to school after two weeks off has really drained my brain. I promise to try and get some better ideas, and hopefully update again soon, though it's probably back to the updates once a week. Sorry everyone.
Please review!!!
Ja ne for now ~!
