"Speaking"
'Thinking'
/POV Change/
-Scene Change-
Kagome woke quietly, slowly opening her eyes to meet the amber orbs already
watching her. The eyes lit up as the mouth of her beloved curled into a
soft smile. Kagome smiled back and, closing her eyes again, snuggled even
closer to her mate.
"Kagome! Breakfast is ready!" her mother's voice floated up the stairs into
her room.
Kagome sighed, and made a move to get up, but the arm around her waist that
she hadn't noticed before held her back. She opened her eyes, a smirk
adorning her fair features, a question in her eye.
"We need some 'us' time. Let's go to the Fuedal Era today." Inuyasha said.
"We don't need to leave to the Fuedal Era to get 'us' time. It's Sunday. Mom goes grocery shopping today. Souta won't be back until this afternoon.
Gramps is on vacation. We'll have the house to ourselves."
Inuyasha grinned, and the newlyweds got up to get breakfast.
"Okay Kagome, I'll be back this afternoon. See ya later hon." Midori
called.
"Alright. See ya!" Kagome replied from the kitchen. Her mom had taken
Shippou, wanting to show off her new 'grandson' to all her friends.
Kagome waved goodbye to her from the doorway after finishing her breakfast.
Then a pair of clawed hands grabbed her around the waist and dragged her
from view, Kagome barely had time to shut the door.
Inuyasha pulled her onto the couch and nuzzled her neck. He breathed in her scent. Even after all the changes, it still had the same basic smell, only without that of a human. Nibbling gently on her earlobe, he gave it a lick every now and then. A rumbling started in Kagome's chest that could only be described as a purr. His own chest shook in laughter at her. Kagome looked over her shoulder, smirked, and flipped herself around to face her hanyou.
She brushed her fingertips over his face, tracing out the handsome features, lingering over the lips, and at last coming to rest on his chest.
Rubbing her cheek against his chest, she sighed in contentment, hands
reaching up to rub his oh-so-sensitive ears. Now it was Inuyasha who was
purring. She looked up at him dryly. He cracked an eye open at her.
"What?" he asked defensively. "That's a very low growl!" he insisted.
Kagome giggled, "Whatever you say, koi."
Kagome shifted her weight so she wasn't on top of him, instead, laying
beside him. Inuyasha gave her a puppy-dog pout. "What?" she asked him. He
grinned, "Do you love me?" at Kagome's nod, complete with rolled eyes, he
continued. "Can I have some ramen?"
Kagome sweatdropped. "We are having a romantic moment, and you want ramen?
Fine, fine. But I'll remember that, buster." Kagome said, pointing at him
as she got up to the kitchen. Inuyasha followed her faithfully, eyes
resting on a not-so-nice place for an innocent hanyou like him. Which
reminded him, he was going to warn Miroku away from Kagome. He had Sango
now, and no reason to grope other women. Stupid hentai houshi.
A beep sounded in the kitchen, yanking him out of his thoughts. Kagome was
gone, and calling him from the kitchen. "Ramen's done!" (A/N: Wow, when
they say instant, they mean instant!)
A red blur flew into the kitchen and began devouring the noodle treat.
Kagome watched him, a tender smile playing on her face. Sure, he had an
unhealthy obessioni with ramen, was 500 years behind the times, and a
hanyou. But he was hers.
Inuyasha look up when he finished, and Kagome took the bowl and fork. He then grabbed her hand and ran into the living room. Pointing to the TV, he
said, "Teach me how to use that."
Kagome smiled, and patiently began to show Inuyasha how to use the remote
and what the buttons meant. She made a mental note to buy 'Hooked on
Phonics' so he could learn to read.
Letting Inuyasha control the TV, Kagome dozed off in his lap. When she
woke, she stretched luxuriously. Stifling a yawn she looked up to see
Inuyasha staring intently at the TV. Even though the vloume was on the
lowest setting, he could hear it perfectly well. Or so they thought. She glanced out the window, it was almost night! Shaking herself mentally, she
sighed. She was out almost the whole day!
Kagome could hear her mom rummaging around in the kitchen, and she tugged
on Inuyasha's sleeve. He looked down at her, smirking. "This married business wearing you out?" he teased. She grinned as she playfully punched
him in the arm. "Pervert!" she chided softly.
Inuyasha pretended to look offended, then his face grew serious. "Tonight's
the new moon." he reminded her. Kagome nodded. She remembered. A question
struck her. "Is that going to be my human night too?"
Inuyasha shrugged. "Could be. I've never done this before."
The couple got up, and wandered into the kitchen. They had gotten dressed earlier before Kagome had dropped off. Kagome was greeted with the sight of her mother bustling around the kitchen, assisted by Shippou, before her and
Inuyasha were hustled out.
"It's a congratulatory dinner. Top secret to us helpers." She added,
winking at Shippou as she shoved her daughter and Inuyasha out.
The door slammed in their faces. "Ooookaaay then." Kagome muttered as she
turned to go outside. Inuyasha again followed. The sun was about to set, and it promised to be a beautiful sight. the two settled down to watch it, and as they last remaining rays of light vanished, they turned to face the
other. They were shown a violet-eyed, black-haired Inuyasha, along with a
blue-eyed, smiling Kagome, minus her black doggie ears.
"Kagome!! Where are you?" her brother called from the house. Inuyasha
grumbled. He didn't like his human night to be known.
Kagome dragged him inside the house, and watched as her brother gaped at
his idol. "Wha-What happened?" he asked finally.
"I'm human. For tonight only." he answered shortly and went up to Kagome's
room. Kagome knelt down and quietly explained things to her befuddled brother. "Every new moon, Inuyasha turns into a human. It happens to every
hanyou only, they might have other nights. This is his. He doesn't like others knowing about it, or even being around people when it happens. Don't
worry about him." and with that, Kagome straightened, patted Souta on the
head, and went up to reason with Inuyasha.
She opened her bedroom door quietly. "Inuyasha?" she called softly. She saw
him staring out of the window.
"Do we have to go down there tonight?" he asked finally. At Kagome's nod,
he sighed. "Alright, wench, but you owe me." he said, returning to cocky
mode. Kagome mock-scowled. "I'll let that 'wench' slide, mister, but you
owe me one."
The couple trodded down the stairs, hand-in-hand.
The dinner went spectacularly well. Inuyasha came out of his self-induced shell and managed to have a good time. At first, Midori was confused as to why her daughter wasn't half-demon anymore, so Kagome had to explain it all
over again, but she eventually grasped the concept. Souta, on the other
hand, refused to believe that his sister was now a half-demon. He was
estatic that he now had a brother-in-law...kinda in the form of Inuyasha,
and praised his sister with her good choice.
All-in-all, it was a very nice evening, and when the hanyous-turned-human went upstairs, it was late, and they both slept soundly, cuddled together.
Their sleep was disturbed when Kagome's alarm went off and they heard Souta
yell, "WOAH, THEY WERE'T KIDDING!" (A/N: Dern little kids. Should shut up
in the morning...)
Kagome groaned and rolled out of bed. Inuyasha and her hadn't exactly gone
straight to sleep and she was now sore and tired. She groggily pulled on her school uniform and stumbled downstairs. Shoving a piece of toast in her
mouth, she wandered out with her bookbag, and headed to school.
Meanwhile, an oblivious Inuyasha rolled over onto the spot Kagome just left, inhaled deeply, and drifted back to sleep. Dreaming dreams of her...
Mizu: So, whadda think? Horrid? Bad beyond words? I know it's short, but I'm leaving for D.C. today, and it's early, and I'm typing really fast so my mom won't kill me and I won't be late. Oh well...
Ja matte, please review, and Mika loves you all!!
