InuYasha rolled over in his sleep, his arm plopping over Kagome's face. She batted it away and got up, and gave herself a moment to completely wake. After carefully setting InuYasha's hand away, she gets up and looks in the mirror. Not exactly the most beautiful, youthful face staring back at her, but thats what mirrors were for, to fix that. Grabbing a comb she began to straighten out her hair that had given way to the fuzzies in the night, and frustrated, pulled it back into a pony tail and headed to the bathroom.
Junk was everywhere. She had pulled out quite a few things because she didn't want to forget to pack them, but when you use things constantly throughout the day they tend to avoid the packing boxes. With a sniff to the T-shirt she was wearing, she knew she was going to need more than just a washup, but a nice long bath.
She undressed while yawning, taking the time to lock the door before she completely stripped down. She used her foot to turn on the hot water, then temper it off with cool. With the bathwater running, Kagome took the time to gather some bathsalts and bubblebath pink soap to add. The aroma took her breath away, and she sat on the side of the tub awaiting anxiously for it to fill up to the top.
When at last the bath was ready, she slipped in, took off the tie on her hair, and leaned back. There was not a moment in time where she didn't enjoy a good soak, she remembered it used to be the first thing she did after coming back from the fuedal era. Eyes closed, she went into a state of complete relaxation, tapping her fingers against the bottom of the tub to keep herself from getting too sleepy. But when the temperature of the water is just right and the air smells of blossoms in spring, it was hard to be alert.
Still, she sat up straight when InuYasha opened the door and looked at her. She looked back.
"Hello" she said shly.
"Hey."
Kagome felt embarrassed that she felt embarrassed, if that makes any sense. Her hand automatically went to cover her chest, but seeing InuYasha's rather calm gaze she let her hand fall slowly back to her side.
"I just thought I needed to freshen up is all. Did you need to use the bathroom?"
"No, I smelled that bubblebath of yours." InuYasha took a seat beside the tub, and let his right hand swish around in the water.
"Did you want to clean your nails or something?"
"Ha ha." InuYasha splashed Kagome and she giggled. She turned away and splashed back. "Come on now.."
InuYasha turned his face down, and tried to hide his mischevious smirk "You wanna play like that? Fine." With both hands he splashed Kagome continuosly, while Kagome shielded her eyes from the soap.
"Will you watch it?!"
He frowned. "Sorry. It would be a lot easier if I was in there too."
Now both of them had mischevious smiles on his face. Ridding himself of his clothing, he slipped in behind Kagome and pulled her up on his lap. Wrapping his arms around her waist he pulled her closer, and Kagome helped him by scooting up herself.
"Its been forever since we've done anything like this. Its like we forgot who we used to be..."
"Nah. I'll tell you why we haven't been all romantic. Its the brats fault."
"InuYasha!"
He tried not to laugh, but it spilled out anyway. "Soon as that kid hit puberty, I swear.."
Kagome finished his statement. "He became just like you."
"Did not."
"Did too"
"InuYasha..."
"He aint nothing like me. He doesnt have respect for anything. Not to mention he is spoiled...I mean, when I was his age.."
"...there was no such thing as running water." She chuckled.
"You wanna get splashed again?"
"Try me!"
They began another playful splashing fight, Kagome turning around so she could better aim at InuYasha. Bubbles and water got everywhere, and when the calmed down, Kagome was tucked neatly in his arms. He leaned down slowly and brought his lips to hers, kissing her gently. The kisses slowly got more energetic, and their grip on each other tightened.
Meanwhile, Inuko was just getting up to raid the fridge again. After getting some chips and snacking for a while, he made a bathroom run, carelessly flinging open the door to find an unwelcome surpised.
Kagome and InuYasha stared at their son. Inuko stared at his parents. Kagome slowly dove down in the water and Inuko turned his back to them.
"Oh my ...MY EYES!" Inuko ran off covering his eyes, making gagging noises..
"Yeah..well..LEARN TO KNOCK, KID!" InuYasha yelled shaking his fist.
Inuko went straight back to his room and turned on the radio. He plopped down on his bed and shut his eyes. Only a moment later they were open again. "Better keep my eyes open tonight" He shivers and does his best to concentrate on the song, "There really should be a law for parents to follow"
By that time both Kagome and InuYasha were dressed. Kagome went back into her bedroom and curled up in her fluffy robe. "Should..we talk to him?"
"The kid aint stupid, he knew what was going on.." InuYasha muttered, "or at least what was about to happen...stupid kid."
"Maybe I.." Kagome stood up, but InuYasha gently sat her down.
"This happens to kids all the time, he'll get over it."
"Maybe. Or Maybe he will talk to Miroku and..."
"DONT even mention the monk, Kagome." InuYasha grabbed a pillow and used it to prop himself up, covering his arms.
"He is a lot different from when we first met him. Give him some credit InuYasha, we have all changed and matured."
InuYasha shakes his head. "His eyes travel more than an international airline. It don't take much to bring the old Miroku out. He just sugar coats stuff around you and Sango."
Kagome went up and curled up at InuYasha's side. "I'll talk to Sango later about it..but maybe I need a little more sleep than I thought." She rested her head on his shoulder and rested her arm over his stomach.
