Love Blossoms

Chapter 8:Hanging out

Inuyasha came over early in the morning to check on Kagome. He wanted to make sure she was feeling okay after what happened to her.

"Kagome?" He taped on her bedroom door.

Kagome sat up in her bed, "Inuyasha? Come in."

"Hey… you okay?"

She wiped tears from her eyes, "Yeah. I'm fine." She lied. The truth was, she wasn't fine. She was feeling guilty about Inuyasha getting hurt, as well as scared by what Kouga had done.

"Ok. Well, do you want to come over to my house? Sango and Miroku are there."

"Sure, let me get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs in a second."

Inuyasha nodded and headed downstairs. Mrs. Higurashi caught him on the way down and pulled him off to the side.

"Inuyasha, what does Kouga want Kagome?"

"Kouga is jealous because I have Kagome, and so he wants her and is trying to do everything he can."

"Oh."

"I'll protect Kagome, Mrs. Higurashi."

"Thank you, Inuyasha."

Inuyasha sat down on the couch, waiting for Kagome to come down.

About 10 minutes later, Kagome came down the stairs, said goodbye to her mother, and left with Inuyasha. Before they started to walk across the street, Inuyasha made sure Kouga wasn't hiding waiting to surprise attack them.

Good, Inuyasha thought, No Kouga in sight. He sighed with relief.

"Whats wrong?" asked Kagome.

"Oh, nothing… I'm just glad Kouga isn't around."

Kagome nodded.

Inuyasha unlocked the door. Inside, Miroku and Sango sat on the couch watching TV.

"Kagome, how are you?" asked Miroku.

"I'm fine." She lied again.

"Good." Sango and Miroku said in unison.

Inuyasha and Kagome sat in the floor, since Miroku and Sango were on the couch. Kagome lay in Inuyasha's masculine arms.

I feel so safe in his arms, thought Kagome, so warm…and strong. She smiled and looked up at Inuyasha, who smiled back.

"So… do you guys just want to hang out here today?" Inuyasha asked the gang.

"Sure." All three replied in unison.

Inuyasha let go of Kagome, and went into the kitchen to get something to eat for the group. Kagome followed to help him.

Inuyasha prepared a big tray of sandwiches while Kagome searched for some snacks. She grabbed a bunch of cookies from the cookie jar on the counter, and grabbed 4 cans of sodas out of the refrigerator.

"Lunchtime!" Hollered Inuyasha bringing out the big tray of sandwiches. Kagome followed behing with the cookies and sodas.

Kagome was glad that they were spending the day hanging out at Inuyasha's, she didn't want to go anywhere because she was afraid they'd run into Kouga.

All 4 sat on the floor in front of the TV, pigging out on sandwiches and cookies.
I love you Inuyasha-kun, Kagome thought to herself, I'm glad your mine.

I love you Kagome-chan, Inuyasha thought to himself, I'm glad your mine…all mine. Both looked at each other at the same time, and Inuyasha kissed Kagome, and she returned it.

Miroku and Sango chuckled at their actions, and then looked at each other. Suddenly, Miroku grabbed Sango and kissed her, as well. She was shocked, but enjoyed ever minute of it.

Once Kagome and Inuyasha finished kissing, they saw Miroku and Sango kissing. Kagome was surprised that Sango would let Miroku kiss her. But who was she to fuss?

Inuyasha lifted Kagome up off of him, and went into the kitchen to grab another soda.

"Kagome, want a soda?"

"Sure."

"Hey, you two lovers, you want a soda?"

Miroku stopped kissing Sango, "Yeah," and then he finished kissing her.

Inuyasha returned with the sodas. He sat back down on the floor, lifting Kagome up, and sitting her down in his lap. He then kissed her on the forehead and laid down on the floor, with Kagome coming behind him, laying on his masculine chest.

Inuyasha and Kagome fell asleep, leaving Sango and Miroku alone. They decided to take a nap as well. All the kissing at worn them out.

Sesshomaru came downstairs to see Inuyasha and Kagome cuddled up on the floor, and Miroku and Sango cuddled up on the couch.

He smirked and walked into the kitchen for a soda. He came back out in the living room, looked at them once more, shook his head, and then walked upstairs to his bedroom.

"Kids." Sesshomaru mumbled.

"Souta, can you go across the street and get Kagome?" asked Mrs. Higurashi.

Souta nodded and headed out the door. It was 8 o'clock, so Mrs. Higurashi began to get worried about Kagome. She was suppose to be home 2 hours ago! Ok, don't worry, she thought to herself, Nothing bad has happened. Inuyasha is protecting Kagome.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

Inuyasha awoke to a tapping on the door. He groaned and gently moved the sleeping Kagome off of him. He answered the door, it was Souta.

"Hey Souta."

"Hey Inuyasha… is Kagome there?"

"Yeah, she's asleep."

"Well, she has to come home now."

"Oh. Okay, I'll pick her up and carry her back."

Souta nodded and left.

Inuyasha turned around and picked up Kagome, bridal style, and carried her home. Souta left the door open so Inuyasha could just carry her upstairs, and that's what he did. He laid Kagome in her bed, and kissed her goodnight.

"Good night Kagome-Chan." He whispered while running his fingers through Kagome's raven colored hair.


Thank you for the reviews so far. I am working as quickly as I can. I realized I might have some spelling errors in this chapter (and other chapters), but I'll fix those later. P Thanks everyone!
