Chapter 6

By Sup-pup17

I love Inuyasha. I think he's such an interesting character and that's why I chose him to write about. I've taken the opportunity to write about his inside emotions. I can't write as easily about Miroku and Sango as I can Inuyasha and Kagome. Review and let me know how I'm doing.

Inuyasha led Kagome into her home. Souta and Kagome's mom, (Ms. H. I'm not even going to try!) greeted them at the door. "Hello Kagome!" Ms. H said happily. Her smile disappeared soon though when she saw the condition of her daughter. "What's wrong, Sweetie?"

"I'm not feeling so well," Kagome coughed.

Ms. H looked at Inuyasha with alook that told him she wanted an explanation. It also had a hint of curiosity.

Inuyasha winced inside. He didn't want to be blamed for her sickness nor did he want to be separated from her. He wanted to hold her hand and lead her to bed.

"Well," Ms. H. sighed. "Lets get you off to bed and get you some rest."

Kagome nodded as her mother now led her to her room. Inuyasha followed quietly behind Ms. H. He hardly breathed. He was so quiet. Souta didn't know why he was and said something to him. Inuyasha just about jumped out of his skin. He shot Souta a harsh look.

"Why are you being so quiet?" Souta asked in a normal tone.

"I dunno!" Inuyasha breathed.

Souta grabbed his hand. "Lets go play!"

Inuyasha was pulled away against his will and gave in to Souta's plea. All he could think about was Kagome's health. He brought her home because he knew she'd get better. After a couple hours of playing with Souta, he went to check on her. Ms. H. stopped him before he got to the stairs saying she was sleeping. All he wanted to do was see her beautiful face safe and sound and her mom wouldn't even let him do that!

"Why is she sick?" Ms. H. asked.

"We had to travel through rain," Inuyasha answered impatiently.

"Why didn't you guys stop and rest?"

"We did," Inuyasha answered again quickly.

Ms. H. noticed his worry and asked him what was he so worried about. Inuyasha just looked at her. After another ten minutes, Ms. H. handed Inuyasha some tea and sent him up to Kagome's room.

Inuyasha silently slipped into Kagome's room and listened to her steady breathing. He stood over her. His emotions were going mad as well as his hormones for some reason.

"Inuyasha," Kagome asked.

Inuyasha handed her the tea.

"Will you do me a favor," Kagome asked again.

Inuyasha nodded and sat down on her bed.

Kagome drank some of her tea. "Will you go and see if you can bring Okami?"

Inuyasha's heart dropped. How could she think of that little dog at this time? He looked down and nodded. He noticed that Buyo had entered her room.

"Inuyasha," Kagome said softly.

Inuyasha looked at her and smiled softly, just enough that she could see.

"Thanks," she smiled.

Inuyasha nodded. "Get better," he ordered. "We have a lot more to do when we get back."

Before Kagome could comment, Inuyasha had left. By then, she knew what she'd done and felt awful. "Inuyasha," She sighed.

Inuyasha heard it and looked back in the door.

Kagome was a little surprised at this and blinked.

"Yeah," Inuyasha asked.

"Never mind about Okami," She said.

Inuyasha raised his eyebrow and shrugged.

"Thanks though."

Inuyasha nodded and left. He felt his hormones going up. It must've been her monthly time to him. He'd let her rest and if she needed him, he'd have to do what he'd been doing for a long time and hold every emotion back and help her get through it. He returned down to Souta and played some more with him. It still didn't help his worry though.

Ms. H. continued to return to her daughter's room. Inuyasha could only watch. He waited and waited and waited. Finally, after dinner time, Inuyasha got the opportunity to take dinner up to Kagome. He opened the door and saw Kagome with a nose in a study book. It didn't surprise him. Obviously she was feeling better.

"Thanks Inuyasha," she smiled as she started to eat.

Inuyasha sat cross legged on her bed with his arms crossed and his eyes closed. He listened to everything about her. It all seemed better.

"Maybe, if my mom lets me," Kagome said quietly, "We can leave and go back."

Inuyasha opened his eyes and looked softly at Kagome. "Just get better." His voice was soft. It surprised Kagome just a little. She nodded and continued to eat. For the rest of the night, he stayed with her. She read most of the time. By late night though, Inuyasha was still in his normal sitting position with his eyes closed. Kagome began to feel the cold coming onto her again and moved over to him. She crawled into his lap and leaned her tired head on his shoulder.

Inuyasha looked down at her and smiled. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her for a long time. When Kagome crawled into bed, Inuyasha crawled behind her and slept just as nice as she did. He felt so peaceful next to her. His whole soul was at rest. It was wonderful. When Ms. H. came in to check on them, she smiled. She took the plate with her and kissed her daughter good night. For Inuyasha's sake, she kept Kagome's grandpa out of her room.

By morning, Kagome was feeling great! She was just about ready to dance! When she woke, she turned over to see Inuyasha lying comfortably on her bed with his hand on her waist. She smiled. He was so cute and actually gentle. Since she was still drowsy, she let her mind wonder. Her mind wanted to go into the future. It wanted to see what was ahead of her. She could imagine her and Inuyasha waking one morning with a little girl or boy at the side of their bed begging for them to get up. Inuyasha would smile gently down at him/her and pat it's head while he got up. The only thing Kagome could see as a problem would be his temper or maybe when he'd disciplined them. The bonk on the head might be to rash…No, Inuyasha would choose the best path for his child. And at this hour in the morning (6 am) her mind was convincing that he was the perfect man for her.

Kagome had now moved to his hands. Usually he'd wake and freak out on her for touching him but he'd been touching her (Not in that way you perverts!) all night. She felt his hands and found then to be slightly rough. These hands had seen everything. They'd seen death, many battles, and more. They'd probably wanted to see her too. No, she wouldn't allow that until he promised to leave Kikyo and that was a touchy subject for him.

Inuyasha opened his eyes slowly to soft hands massaging his. He didn't say anything but only smiled and watched. He found her interesting. Her aroma was tickling his senses. He loved it. He could sit there all morning and watch her. He had watched her that night till he just had to sleep.

When Kagome looked up at him she jumped slightly. He only smiled. "Are you done yet," He asked quietly and softly.

Kagome smiled and nodded.

He sat up and stretched. Kagome did the same. Inuyasha then got up off the bed and left.

"Heartless jerk," Kagome chuckled. "He could at least say good morning."

"Are you coming, Kagome," he asked.

"Yeah," Kagome nodded and followed him down the stairs. She noticed the sun was just rising. "Oh," Kagome gasped. "It's beautiful."

Inuyasha cocked his head to the side. He smiled and waved to her. "Come on."

Inuyasha led Kagome outside and hauled her on top of her roof. It was clearly more beautiful there then in her window. Inuyasha smiled at Kagome and put his arm around her. Kagome leaned into him. "Do you know what…"She whispered. Inuyasha didn't say anything. "I miss Okami so much…." She then realized she was putting the dog in front of her love again. That was horrible. She did miss Okami though. She missed him a lot.

Inuyasha growled lowly and sighed.

"I'm sorry," Kagome whispered. "I didn't mean what you're thinking. I just miss him. I miss you sometimes too." She smiled and hugged him tighter.

"Do you love that dog more then Buyo?"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha with a funny look. "Not really."

"You'll live." He laughed. "We're going back today."

"How do you know?"

"You smell better."

Kagome giggled and hugged him tighter.

When they did get back to Inuyasha's time, Miroku and Sango weren't there yet. By lunch they'd made their way to Kaede's village and planned to stay there. The first thng Kagome did was picked up her little Okami and hugged him tightly. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"We got caught up killing demons," Shippo boasted happily.

"Feh," Inuyasha shoved him playfully.

There you go! I've got to collect my ideas now. If you have any…send them in. My fingers hurt like hell so I've got to go. Thanks again to all my reviewers! You're what keep my fingers going. Luv ya all!
