Chapter 11: Returning Home and A Lazy Day

Peck Peck Inuyasha woke up to the annoying pecking on his head. He shoed away the odd bird angrily. The morning sun peeked through the window in the small hut. He looked down at Kagome and sighed. "Feh, stupid girl..." His expression softened and he hugged her. She slightly opened her eyes. She looked up and smiled at him. "Feeling better?" he asked. "A little, are you ok?" "Huh?" "I am sorry Inuyasha, I didn't mean to hit you so hard..." She looked down at the floor and frowned with guilt etched all over her face. "I could never stay mad at you." Inuyasha said and nuzzled noses with her. She giggled and looked up into his eyes. "What did that woman mean yesterday?" Kagome asked. "Huh?" "Mate?" Inuyasha's eyes grew wider and he looked away to hide his blush and mumbled "Uh...it doesn't mean anything..." "Ok." The bird flew back over and landed on Inu's head again and started pecking him. "FEH, STUPID BIRD!" he yelled and hit it. It squawked and flew away. Kagome giggled. Inuyasha growled slightly. Kagome reached her hand up and started scratch his ears. He made a purring sound again. She reached her head up and kissed the tips of his ears gently. He twitched his ears after she pulled back. He looked at her. They made eye contact. Then they both closed their eyes and kissed each other passionately. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist and held her up. She clutched his shoulders with both hands. Then they heard someone chuckle and they parted and turned around quickly. The old woman was standing in the doorway to her room, smirking widely. Kagome and Inuyasha put on annoyed faces: TT. "Heh, then I was right..." the woman said and smirked wider. "Says who!?" Inuyasha said, angry that the old woman wouldn't mind her own business. "It's obvious child." Kagome looked beyond confused. She blinked a few times and kept glancing back and forth at Inuyasha and the old woman. "May I know your name?" Kagome asked the old woman. "My name is Hinyama Hinakato, but just call me Yama." Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other and blinked then looked back at Yama. "Maybe we should get going now Inuyasha." Kagome said and looked back up at him. "Ok...I guess." He stood up and picked Kagome up bridal style. "How much you want?" Inuyasha asked Yama. "Oh no child, just to know that your mate will be ok is all I want." Yama smiled widely. "She is not my mate." Inuyasha growled lowly. "Ok, ok child, you win, now take care and come back anytime." Yama said and smiled. Inuyasha nodded and left the hut. Everybody watched them carefully. Inuyasha glared at them and they looked away quickly. He carried Kagome through the meadow and to the hill. He turned back and looked at the village once again. In his mind, he thanked Yama for helping Kagome, he was grateful. Then he turned back around and walked into the forest slowly, holding Kagome carefully in his arms.

Inuyasha approached the house and jumped up onto the porch. He opened the door. It was quiet...too quiet. "Everybody is still sleeping." Inuyasha whispered. "Yeah." Kagome whispered and looked up at him. Inuyasha walked upstairs and went into his room. He shut the door with his foot then walked over to his bed and set Kagome down. "Do you need anything?" he asked. "No, nothing right now..." "Ok." It was quiet for a while and Inuyasha twitched his ears and said "I guess I will leave you alone now...you need rest so your ankle will feel better." He turned around and walked to the door. "Please don't leave!" Kagome said quickly. He stopped and twitched his ears and turned around. "Please don't leave Inuyasha...I feel better when you are around." Kagome looked down and blushed slightly. "Ok..." Inuyasha walked back over to her and kneeled down. She looked up and smiled. He kissed her lips gently and pulled away slowly. Then Kagome felt her cheeks heat up. Inuyasha sat down on the floor and leaned against the wall. Kagome sat there and stared at him. He looked up at her and said "Well are you going to get some rest, or are you going to stare at me all day?" Kagome blinked and sighed then lied her head back down on the pillow. She stared up at the ceiling and frowned. Inuyasha closed his eyes and softly sighed.

Sango woke up and blinked a few times to regain her vision. She yawned then stood up and stretched. She looked outside and yawned again.

Kagome continued to stare at the ceiling. She sighed and wished her ankle didn't hurt so much. In fact, she wished it wasn't even sprained. She glanced over at Inuyasha then she looked back up at the ceiling. She closed her eyes to go asleep, but she was totally unaware that the Shikon No Tama jewel, was glowing.

Miroku tossed and turned then finally woke up. He yawned. He lied in his bed, not wanting to get up.

Sango turned away from the window and walked out of her room. "I wonder if Inuyasha and Kagome came home yet." she thought out loud to herself. She walked up to their door and put her hand out to knock, but she pulled it back. "If they are home, I don't wanna disturb them...they are probably really tired..." she said to herself. She walked downstairs and started making herbal tea.

Miroku heard Sango talking outside his door then finally decided to get up. He stretched then went downstairs. "Good morning love." he said sweetly to Sango. "Good morning sweetheart." she said back. It was silent then Sango said "Want some tea?" "Sure." She brought him a cup along with one for her. She sat down next to him on the floor and handed him his cup. He took a sip of it and sighed. Sango took a sip of hers and looked down at the floor as if she was in deep thought. Shippo peeked one eye open and yawned he sat up and bumped into Kirara. She opened her eyes and looked up at him and meowed. Shippo patted her head and stretched. She jumped off the couch and ran to Sango and jumped up into her lap. "Hello Kirara." Sango said and petted her. Miroku patted her head and took another sip of his tea. Shippo yawned again then fell of the couch. "Ow." he said half muffled. Sango and Miroku chuckled.

Kagome tossed and turned in her bed then woke up suddenly. She looked down and noticed the jewel on her necklace was glowing. Then it suddenly stopped. She pulled the covers down then looked over at Inuyasha. She stood up and fell on the ground. That woke Inuyasha up and he almost jumped through the ceiling. "What's wrong!?" he said frantically. Kagome was staring at her ankle like something was wrong with it. Then she looked back up at Inuyasha and said "It doesn't hurt anymore..." Inuyasha raised one eyebrow. "What are you talking about, it's doesn't hurt anymore...?" "It's true, it doesn't hurt no more." Inuyasha stood up and stretched. He helped Kagome up. It WAS true, she could stand on her leg. She stepped on it a few times then looked back up at Inuyasha and smiled. He chucked then was clobbered by Kagome. She hugged him tightly. She let him go and he took in a big breath. "Come on, let's go downstairs." She opened the door and went downstairs followed by Inuyasha.

"Hi everyone!" Kagome said happily as she stepped off the last step. "Kagome!" Shippo said happily and ran over to her and jumped up in her arms. Kagome hugged him. Shippo looked at Inuyasha and said "Hi Inuyasha." "Feh." "Inuyasha!" Kagome whispered fiercely and nudged him in the ribs. He growled. Kagome frowned and walked over to her other two friends (Oh yeah, and Kirara too -) and sat in front of them. "So I see you made it home alright." Miroku said. "Yup." "Want some tea Kagome?" Sango asked. "Sure." "Inuyasha, do you want some?" "No." "Ok, suit yourself." Sango stood up and went into the kitchen. Kirara came up to Kagome and meowed. "Hello Kirara." Kagome said and picked her up and started petting her. She purred and lied down in her lap. Inuyasha sat in a corner across the room from his friends. Kagome looked over at him and said "Come on Inuyasha, join us." "Feh." was his reply. Kagome set Kirara down and stood up and walked over to Inuyasha. She bent down in front of him and said "What's wrong?" "Feh." he said and looked the other way. "Join your friends Inuyasha, come on." She took his hand and stood him up. She dragged him over to the group and sat him down next to her. Sango came back and handed Kagome a cup of tea. Kagome took a sip of it and then heard Inuyasha growl. She looked up at him and cocked her head. She moved hair out of his face. He looked the other way and rolled his eyes. Kagome sat up and kissed his cheek gently. His cheeks turned a pinkish color and everyone laughed. "Feh." he mumbled. Shippo and Kirara started running around the house playing tag. Everyone watched them while Inuyasha sat there pouting. "Oh Inuyasha, quit your pouting!" Kagome said. "Feh." Kagome sighed and took another sip of her tea and looked at the floor. Then Shippo looked behind him, still running, to see if Kirara was catching up. Then he accidentally ran into Inuyasha. Inu growled and looked down at Shippo. Shippo stood up quickly and gulped. "Sorry dad!" he said quickly and started to run in the other direction. Inuyasha blinked a few times then he looked at Kagome. "Did he just call me...dad?" Kagome blinked and nodded her head slowly, eyes wide. Inuyasha put a hard-thinking face on and looked at the floor. Sango and Miroku looked confused. Then Inuyasha stood up and said "I am going outside." "Do you want company?" Kagome asked. "If ya wanna come...I guess." Kagome stood up and set her cup on the counter in kitchen and followed Inuyasha outside. Kirara jumped into Sango's lap while Shippo sat down on the couch. Miroku sighed and took another sip of his tea.

Inuyasha jumped down off the porch while Kagome slowly climbed down the ladder. She reached the ground and walked over towards Inuyasha. She sat down on the swing on rocked back and forth. He sat up in the tree and watched her below. She swung gracefully and let the breeze blow her hair. His eyes softened as he watched her swing back and forth. The swing gradually slowed down to a stop. Kagome turned and looked up at Inuyasha and smiled. "Feh." he said. She hopped of the swing and continued to stare up at him. She leaned against the tree and sighed. Inuyasha looked at her and climbed down a few branches. Then he jumped to the ground in front of her. She looked up at him and smiled. "Kagome?" "Yes?" "I need to ask you something important." "Ok, talk away." "Well...I was wondering if you would be-" He was cut of when Sango came out and said "Come on, Miroku and I made dinner!" "Ok!" Kagome yelled back. She turned back to Inuyasha and asked "What were you going to ask me?" "Nothing, let's eat." "Ok!" Kagome said happily and grabbed his hand and ran back to the house.

After they all ate, it was Inuyasha and Miroku's turn to do the dishes. Kagome, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara went into the living room and sat on the floor. They waited for a while, then Inuyasha and Miroku came out of the kitchen. Inuyasha was mumbling angrily to himself and sat next to Kagome. Miroku was walking slow and studying his hands carefully. He took a seat between Kagome and Sango, still looking at his hands. "What is it Miroku?" Sango and Kagome asked at the same time. They sat up to see the what the problem was. Then they both blushed brightly as Miroku squeezed their butts. "HENTAI!" they both screamed and slapped him. Inuyasha glared at Miroku as Kagome scrambled over next to him. She grabbed his arm and sat there, glaring at Miroku as Sango sat on the couch next to Shippo. Kirara sat on the floor in front of Sango, protecting her. Kagome felt Inuyasha sit up, growling angrily. But she pulled him back down and whispered "You promised." He nodded his head angrily and looked away with a single "Feh." Miroku just lied on the ground with red slap marks on each side of his cheeks. Gradually everyone went to sleep and it became dark inside the house.

Alright, that's it for now, I can't think of anything else TeeHee
