Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, sadly enough. (Otherwise Kagome and
Inuyasha would be together by now! LOL)
AN: Beware of the fluff! Toothbrush should be in hand!
Chapter 17:
Kagome felt the warm sunbeams against her face; she pushed herself up, putting pressure on her broken arm. "Arrghhhh!" She wailed in pain. Kagome fell back on the bed, her arm pulsing.
"Kagome? Are you okay? Don't put pressure on it, don't push it." A soft, calm voice came from the side of her bed. She looked over and saw concerned golden eyes staring intently at her.
"Inuyasha? I'm home...did you bring me here?" He nodded, a faint blush across his cheeks. She smiled, "Arigatou." He scratched the back of his head and grunted.
"Keh! You scared me half to death, baka! Why'd you go with him that time? We coulda done something else. Your arm wouldn't be hurt so bad." He said the last part quietly and bowed his head, drooping his ears. She ignored the baka part of his rant and boldly lightly rubbed his ear. He began to purr softly at her touch. She smiled, 'So, he does like this.' Inuyasha lifted his head, this startled her and she retracted her hand. Inuyasha smirked. "Couldn't help yourself, could you?" She gasped and blushed. Kagome put her hand to her heart to try and slow its pace. Inuyasha heard her heartbeat and smiled.
"No, I couldn't and I can't help doing this." She placed her rosy lips on his and kissed him deeply. He was surprised, but returned her affection happily. They broke the kiss and both had a tint of pink stained on their cheeks. He caressed her cheek with his claws, staring into her chocolate eyes.
"How's your arm?" He questioned quietly. She looked down and noticed the cast on it, slung across her chest. 'Wow, I hadn't even noticed.'
"I dunno, you tell me. How bad was it?" Inuyasha sighed.
"The doc-tor said it was broken really bad and that you have to wear the cast for...ummm...a long time. You should ask your mom."
"But, how bad, Inuyasha?" Inuyasha shut his eyes, still blaming himself for her injury. He wasn't there to protect his mate. "Inuyasha, what's wrong?"
"I....wasn't..."
"Hmm?" She cocked her head to the side, blinking her eyes.
"I wasn't there to protect you, to protect my mate." Kagome sighed.
"It's alright; it was my own fault. I wouldn't tell Naraku where the jewel was." She smiled. "I'm okay and you saved me still." He felt renewed by her words. How can she be so forgiving? "Everything turned out alright. We got the shard." She smiled again, finding it hard not to. 'I love you so much.'
"I love you too." He blurted out, not noticing it was a thought. Kagome blinked. 'He heard that?' Inuyasha looked up and saw the look on her face and realized what he had just done. "I have a secret." He stated bluntly. Kagome nodded still reeling from his 'I love you too' statement. "I can read people's thoughts; Miroku and Sango know already."
"But how?" She looked at him confused.
"That harpy, when she screamed messed up my hearing, now I can hear everyone's thoughts when they are close enough. Funny thing is...."
"Hmmm?" Kagome was listening to him intently, still not believing him completely.
"I heard your thoughts when Naraku had you. Even from far away." She gasped. "That's how I found you mostly." She smirked.
"Yeah right, how is this even possible?" She smiled; he knew she was testing him.
"So, you wanna prove me wrong?" He smirked his famous expression. She pursed her lips and began thinking. 'Kiss me.' He leaned over and kissed her lips. She gasped in shock. As they were kissing, 'I think I like this.' He grunted and smirked against her lips, kissing her passionately.
"Kagome?! Are you up?!" Her mother called as she walked into the room. "Oh my, excuse me!" She quickly exited the room and shut the door behind her, smiling. 'Finally.' Inuyasha smiled and was happy to have her mother's approval.
"Oh how embarrassing!" Kagome squealed; her face flushed.
"It's alright; I don't think she cares." Kagome gave him a 'huh?' kinda look. "I heard her think....finally." He laughed. Kagome smiled and hugged him.
"I like this little ability of yours. Find out anything good with it?" He blushed.
"I found out that Sango likes the lecher's groping."
"I already knew that." Kagome gave a wry smile.
"Sure you would; you're a girl. Also, Miroku only gropes her for her attention."
"I knew that too." She smirked.
"Dammit! Why didn't I?"
"You're dense." Kagome laughed. He grunted and crossed his arms across his chest. "Gomen, Inuyasha. Continue, any other interesting facts about our friends?"
"You know everything already." He huffed.
"Okay, why is it that those two haven't gotten together yet? Answer that."
"Miroku doesn't want to leave her alone with a child if we don't defeat Naraku in time. But he loves her and her him." Inuyasha spoke softly, slightly embarrassed about telling her about their friends' love life, or lack of it.
"Interesting. Well, I better get ready for the day. So, we can return soon. I'm sure they're worried." She swung her legs over the side of the bed, noticing the bruises and scabbed over scratches. She winced from the soreness.
"I don't think we should go back just yet, Kagome. You still need to recover." He said seriously and sincerely.
"But I feel icky! I need a bath at least!" Inuyasha rolled his eyes and carefully picked her up. "Inuyasha!" She cried, but found it hard to fight against him because of her wounds. She blushed as he set her on the toilet seat. He began filling up the tub with warm water. He sat on the edge, watching it fill. 'When did he?'
"Your mom told me to take care of you, so, she showed me how to do a few things. She'll be out most of the day." Once the tub had filled, Inuyasha opened a bottle of ointment and poured some in the water. Kagome was deeply touched. 'He really does love me. This is real.' He looked at her and smiled weakly.
"Do you still doubt?" She had forgotten about his ability.
"A little." She said softly, almost a whisper. He sighed and took her hand in his.
"Kagome, I love you." He kissed her hand. "Now, go ahead and get in. I'll be right outside the door if you need help. Oh, I almost forgot." He took out a plastic bag and placed it around her cast. "Your mom said this can't get wet." She smiled.
"Arigatou, Inuyasha." She kissed his cheek and he left the bathroom. Kagome then went to the task of trying to take her shirt off, groaning and grunting. She lost her balance and fell with a thump on the floor. "Itai!"
"Kagome!" Inuyasha burst into the room, noticing the girl on the floor. He took her hand and pulled her up, carefully. "What happened?" She pouted and blushed.
"I can't get the nightshirt off." He gulped, what was he supposed to do? Undress her?
"Ummm....do you want me to help?" He blushed as he held up his hands in defense from being sat. She smiled. "Hmmm?" He looked up at her. She laughed.
"Sure." He gulped again.
"But that would mean I would get to see...." Kagome blushed.
"You can shut your eyes, promise?" He nodded and didn't feel like being sat on this hard bathroom floor. Inuyasha blushed bright red as he moved closer to her as he took the shirt in his hands. He tried to think how to start. Okay, the bad arm with the hard thing on it. He shut his eyes and pulled the arm of the shirt over the cast. Then he repeated the same thing on the other side, then he slipped it off over her head. Inuyasha kept his eyes closed tight. Kagome sat there in her bra and panties now. She blushed. 'How will I be able to get the bra off?' Inuyasha thought as they sat there, What's a bra?
"What's a bra, Kagome?" She blushed and explained briefly.
"Ummmm, what covers my....breasts." She stated simply. Inuyasha let out a sigh.
"Want me to help with that too?" He said nervously. She turned around and placed his hand on the clasp. "Hmmm?"
"Unhook it." He nodded and fumbled with it for a little bit. She giggled and he finally got it unhooked. He removed it and placed the weird undergarment on the floor with her shirt. Kagome then quickly fidgeted out of her underwear. She got up to stand, but her knees gave out, Inuyasha caught her.....his eyes opened.
"I'm sorry!" He shut them quick and tight. She smiled.
"It's alright, but can you place me in the tub?" He nodded and picked her up carefully, reveling in the feeling of having her warm skin in contact with him. He set her in the water; she placed her cast over the side. "Thank you so much Inuyasha, ahhh it feels so good." He nodded, his eyes still firmly shut and turned to exit.
"Tell me when you're done; I'll bring in your clean clothes." He then shut the door behind him. Kagome smiled brightly. 'So kawaii!' Inuyasha having heard this smirked and then he replayed the sight he had seen in the bathroom. She was close to him, so beautiful. He blushed and sat down against the door, awaiting her call.
An: I hope you enjoyed this fluffy little scene....I love writing fluff....hehe! Hope you didn't get too many cavities!
