Thanks to my brothers, my cats run like hell every time people walk into the room.
Chapter Forty Four: Reminder
Inuyasha groaned when the sunlight woke him up. It was the last day of his and Kagome's week off. It surprised him, how much he needed the time off. It started out as a break for Kagome, but it helped him too. Hoping to get another hour of sleep or so he rolled onto his side and reached out for Kagome.
His eyes opened and he sat up when he realized that she wasn't there. Where the hell is she he asked himself. Even though the sun was up, it was still pretty early in the morning.
"Kagome." He got out of bed, wearing some pajama bottoms that Kagome's mom had bought for him.
He walked out of the room and down to the kitchen, but she wasn't there. He took a glance out of the window and saw that the cars where gone. "I wonder where everyone went." He mumbled as he went from room to room checking for Kagome.
Inuyasha was about to give up looking a go back to sleep when he heard a splashing sound coming from the bathroom near Kagome's bedroom. Baka he scolded himself as he walked up the stairs that should have been your first guess.
He opened the door slowly and poked his head in. Kagome was relaxing in the bathtub, filled with suds and bubbles, listening to her CD player. Inuyasha smirked and made his way over to her.
Kagome splashed her toes in the water humming along to her song, obviously not aware that Inuyasha was only a few feet away from her. When she eventually did open her eyes she nearly screamed. "Don't scare me like that!"
Inuyasha smirked, but didn't move. Kagome blushed and covered herself up, though it was pointless considering how thick the bubbles and suds were. Inuyasha couldn't have taken a look at her, even if he wanted too.
"Where is everyone."
Kagome pulled off her headphones and dropped them beside the tub. "Souta and Grandpa went on their boys night trip' and mama went to work."
"Boys night out?"
"Yeah. Usually they just go to a soccer game or something like that. They've been doing it every first Wednesday of the month for years."
Inuyasha ran his claws gently along her cheek, causing her to blush even deeper. "After all this time, you're still shy."
"N-No. I'm just in the middle of a bath."
"So."
Kagome laughed. "Okay lover boy. Let me finish my bath and I just might forget to put my bath robe on when I walk into the bedroom."
Inuyasha kissed her forehead quickly and walked out of the room, glancing back at her once more before shutting the door. Kagome laughed and dunked her head under the thick layer of bubbles and relaxed under the hot water for a few minutes before her lungs cried out for air.
She took a deep breath and got out of the tub. She knew that Inuyasha was waiting for her, it would have been rude to take a long time. Plus, he might have tried to barge back in. She put on her robe and walked quickly to her bedroom. Her door was already opened and she could see Inuyasha sitting in the window frame looking outside.
Inuyasha turned when he heard Kagome walk in. After the disappointment of seeing that she had kept her robe on, he smiled. He remembered a while ago when Kagome stood in that same spot in her bathrobe with her wet hair on her shoulders. Before they had become mates.
"Finished?"
"No. I'm taking an intermission."
Inuyasha let a slight laugh escape him as he walked over to Kagome. He brushed her wet hair aside so he could kiss along her neck. "You lied." He mumbled between his kisses.
"When?"
"You wore your robe."
Kagome giggled and put on an, obviously fake, innocent look. "Dear me, I must have forgotten."
"Baka." Inuyasha replied. He moved over to the other side of her neck and continued to nip at it. Kagome gasped when he hit the sensitive spot that sent chills up her spine and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Inuyasha smirked at her reaction and met her lips with his own. A content growl escaped him when she parted her lips for him, it had been too long since he had really gotten to taste her. One of his hands pushed a little on her lower back, bringing her closer to him. While the other hand slipped inside her robe to cup one of her breast.
Kagome moaned, but the sound was muffled by Inuyasha's mouth. She couldn't take it any longer. After closing the door with her foot, she tugged a little on the hem of Inuyasha's pajama pants. Inuyasha laughed, but caught the hint and dragged Kagome over to the bed.
He laid her down on the bed and moved so he was over her. Keeping himself up on his elbows and knees so he wouldn't crush her. He stayed there for a little while, just staring at Kagome. I don't deserve her he thought. As if she was responding by telling him that he did deserve her, Kagome reached up and rubbed one of his ears.
Inuyasha growled deeply and met Kagome's lips again. His hands untied Kagome's bathrobe and opened it. He took a second to look down at her body before tossing the rove completely aside and kissing along her neck.
Kagome rubbed her hands along Inuyasha's back. Her need to touch him was growing more and more by the second. "Inuyasha" she mumbled his name and tugged at his pants again. She used one hand to reach inside his pants to stroke his length. Inuyasha shuddered at the amount pleasure going through his body.
He groaned a little and pushed himself off of Kagome. She was a little confused until she realized that he only did it, so that he could pull his pajama pants off. Kagome blushed and closed her eyes. She kept them shut tight until Inuyasha kissed her forehead. She looked up and found herself bathing in the beautiful amber color of his eyes.
Inuyasha gave Kagome another kiss before thrusting into her. They both shared a moan. Kagome ran her fingers through Inuyasha hair as he started a pace, thrusting in and out. She kissed and nipped along his neck, hoping it would persuade him to go faster. Her body was yearning for him.
Kagome wrapped her legs around his waist and met each thrust with her hips. "Inuyasha." She practically pleaded. He growled a little and sped up to grant her request, putting a little more force behind his thrust. Kagome let go of his hair and grabbed the sheets beneath her while letting her moans fill the room. Thank god my family went out for breakfast she thought to herself. She hated having to worry about the level of her voice while in the moment's passion.
Inuyasha broke her thoughts when he covered her mouth with his own again. Taking in all the sounds she was making. Both their tongues fought for dominance, both of them trying to prove how much they loved each other.
It didn't take much longer till Kagome felt the familiar warm feeling in her stomach. She reached up with one hand and rubbed his ear and tightened her grip around his waist. Inuyasha heard her unsteady breath and gave her the last few thrust that sent her over the edge. She through her head back and screamed out his name. The sound of his name being screamed by Kagome through him over the edge too.
Inuyasha took a second to catch his breath and moved so that he was beside Kagome. "Good thing your family wasn't here, huh."
Kagome laughed and snuggled closer to him, letting out a small yawn. Inuyasha pulled the blanket over them and wrapped his arms around her. "You can sleep, if you want." He said, nuzzling his face in her neck.
Kagome closed her eyes and, once again, fell asleep to the sound of Inuyasha's heartbeat.
Shippo sighed and leaned back against the wall. "Is something wrong?" Sango asked. She was bouncing Ginsenshi on her lap, trying to get him to smile. She didn't regret agreeing to watch him for a week, she was just having a really hard time getting the baby to smile. He seemed to miss his parents a lot.
"Kagome has been gone too long."
"Kagome and Inuyasha needed sometime to themselves."
"Feh." Shippo crossed his arms. Sango bit her lip and tried to not laugh. Shippo had just done, what she thought was, the perfect impression of Inuyasha.
"What!" he looked up at her.
"Nothing." She said.
Miroku and Kohaku both entered the room at the same time. "Has he smiled yet?" Miroku asked as soon at he sat down.
"No." Sango looked down at Ginsenshi.
Ginsenshi watched Sango's hands move around as she spoke to Miroku and Kohaku. Eventually he reached up with his little hand and grabbed one of her fingers. "Something wrong GinGin." Sango said. The small boy just took the finger and sucked on it.
"GinGin?"
"Yeah, it's easier to say then Ginsenshi. Don't you think?"
Miroku shrugged. "I guess."
Ginsenshi stopped sucking on Sango's finger and kept wiggling till he was set down on the floor again. "Does he ever sit still?" Kohaku asked.
"No." Sango said.
Ginsenshi looked around for a little bit then decided to crawl over to Shippo. The little fox demon didn't know what to think. Ginsenshi crawled into Shippo's lap and gave a very cute yawn before going to sleep.
"Seems that he likes you." Miroku said.
Shippo blushed and looked down at the baby.
Inuyasha jerked awake when he heard the phone ring. It always hurt his ears, so he hated it when Kagome decided to put one next to the bed. "Shut up." He mumbled. "You'll wake up Kagome."
But the phone didn't stop ringing and Kagome sat up. She reached over and picked it up while still holding the blanket to cover herself.
"Hello?" Her voice still sounded sleepy.
"Kagome!" The loud voice of Ayumi's startled her. Kagome had to hold the phone s small distance from her ear for a little while.
"Yes?"
"Wow, I didn't think I'd actually get to talk to you."
"What do you mean?"
"Yuri and Eri haven't been able to get a hold of you in a long time. Not since your mom starting doing homeschool."
"Oh."
"So what are you doing today. The three of us were going to go to a movie. If you want to come -"
"Can't."
"What? Why not?"
"I've got to get ready for a trip I'm taking."
"Where are you going?"
Inuyasha got out of the bed and pulled on his pajama pants. He decided it would be better to find something to eat rather then listen to one half of a conversation between two girls. He made his way downstairs to the kitchen and looked for a package of Ramen.
"Oh. Inuyasha."
He turned around as Kagome's mom walked in the room. "I thought you were at work." He continued searching for the Ramen.
"I'm on my lunch break. I figured you and Kagome might leave by the time I get off work, so I should say goodbye now."
"Where do you keep all the Ramen?"
Kagome's mom laughed and walked over the cabinet next to the one Inuyasha was looking through and pulled one out. "I'll make it for you."
"T-Thanks."
"Is Kagome awake?" she asked casually as she poured hot water in the cup.
Inuyasha rubbed his forehead. "Yeah. She's on the phone with someone."
"Oh, I thought I heard it ringing."
She handed Inuyasha the cup of Ramen just as Kagome walked into the kitchen. Fully dressed, hair in place, even a little bit of make up on. Inuyasha's jaw dropped. How did she get ready so quickly he asked himself.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome looked at him. "What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing." He shook his head and started eating the Ramen.
"When are you two going to leave."
"Are you in such a rush to get rid of me, mama."
Kagome's mom laughed. "No. But I'm sure Ginsenshi misses you."
Kagome sighed as she poured herself a cup a tea. "You're probably right. I guess will leave as soon as I'm done packing."
"Alright." Kagome's mom glanced down at her watch. "I should go. My lunch break is almost over."
"Bye mama." Kagome hugged her.
Kagome's mom smiled and gave Inuyasha a quick hug too, "Next time, bring my grandson around."
"Okay."
Ginsenshi, whom had spent most of the day sleeping in Shippo's lap, suddenly sat up and sniffed the air before crawling towards the door.
"Where is he going?" Kohaku asked.
Sango stood up and looked out the door. She smiled when she saw Inuyasha and Kagome walking towards them. "Your back!" she squealed happily.
Kagome laughed and picked up her son. "Did you miss me?" she asked the little baby. For the first time since they had gone away, Ginsenshi actually smiled and curled up in his mother's arms.
Inuyasha sat down next to Shippo and leaned against the wall. "Hey runt."
Shippo smiled. He was really happy that Kagome and Inuyasha had come back. "What took you guys so long."
Inuyasha snorted. "We were enjoying our time off. It's nice to sleep in."
"That reminds me. I hope Ginsenshi didn't give you guys much trouble."
"Hardly any." Miroku lied. Ginsenshi had woken them up early in the morning, but they knew that if they wanted to be parent someday they would have to get used to it.
Kagome rubbed her son's ears and stood up. "I think I'll give him a bath." She said before walking out.
Inuyasha watched her leave, then turned to Miroku. "I guess I should go work on our house or something."
"Yeah. There's still some time. I'll go get the other villagers and meet you there."
"Okay."
Sango leaned towards Shippo, "I didn't take them long to fall into their normal schedule, did it." she whispered. Shippo laughed and nodded in agreement.
Kagome carried the child down to the hot springs. The entire time Ginsenshi kept reaching up and pulling on her hair. "Ah! that hurts." She said, grabbing his hand and placing a kiss on it.
She quickly undressed the baby and placed him in the water. He laughed and splashed around. Kagome rubbed some baby shampoo in his hair, careful to avoid his ears. She remembered the first time she gave him a bath. Soap had gotten in his ears. It must have stung because he cried and cried until the bath was over.
She used handfuls of water to wash the shampoo out. "You're first birthday is coming us soon." She said, knowing full well that Ginsenshi probably didn't know what she was talking about.
Kagome lifted him out of the water and dried him off before putting on some clean clothing. Ginsenshi reached over and grabbed the jewel hanging around Kagome neck. She looked down at it and he tried to stick it in his mouth. Then Kagome started to remember her task.
One year she thought I've delayed my face off with Kikyo for too long. I need the rest of the jewel. She lifted Ginsenshi onto her hip and started walking back to the village. "I'll leave tonight." she said out loud.
