Last time
Inuyasha smiled at Kagome and he bent down to kiss her neck. He found a certain spot that he liked and started sucking on her. Kagome gave out a small laugh. He knew this was pleasing her and he started sucking harder and harder. Kagome knew that this would cause her a hickey and everyone will wonder what it is and how it got there.
Inuyasha stopped sucking and licked the dark purple (he sucked VER hard) spot. Inuyasha looked at Kagome who was smiling like mad. "Come on we better go." He took her hand and lifted her up to her feet.
They walked from behind the bush and saw everyone asleep. Miroku wasn't in his dark blue sleeping bag meaning he wasn't awake yet.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips, and a big hug. Inuyasha hugged her back, not wanting to let her go. "Oyasumi-nasai Inuyasha."He let go of her but he still had his arms around her waist. "Kagome remember what I said about our love…alright?"
Kagome nodded in agreement. "Hai…I will."
Inuyasha kissed her forehead. "Oyasumi, Kagome"
They both pulled away from each other and went opposite sides and went to bed, knowing they had their love to protect each other.
On with the story
Early in the morning…
Miroku opened his blue eyes looking around to see where he was. He shuddered at the cold ground beneath him. He sat up looking at his surroundings. Suddenly a big throbbing pain came into his head. He put his cold hand onto his damp forehead. "Ow, that really hurts."
Miroku looked around and noticed everyone was asleep in his or her warm sleeping bags while he was left on the cold ground. "Domo Arigato guys." He muttered under his breath.
He slowly stood up noticing that his legs were wobbly. He made it to his dark blue sleeping bag, went in it and closed his eyes until sleep took over his body once again.
Kagome sat up and noticed that everyone was still sleeping. She let out a soft sigh and got out of her pink sleeping bag to meet the cold air on her skin. She shivered at the sensation but ignored it as she took out her clothes from her big yellow bag.
The hot springs shouldn't be too far. Maybe the warm water will help me cool down a little. She thought to herself as she made her way to the springs not too far away from their little camp.
Kagome arrived at the springs and looked around to see if anyone or any demons were there, but luckily there weren't. She stripped off her clothes and hanged it on a nearby branch.
She walked over to the steaming water and let a foot glide its way into the warmth of the water. Just as I wanted the water to be like. Slowly she let her body get consumed by the warm water on her creamy skin.
She rested her back on the spring wall and let a sigh escape her. She slowly closed her brown eyes as she, yet again, thought to herself. I couldn't sleep at all last night. SO much happened yesterday that I feel like I'm in a quick movie. Like: Kouga telling me that I will become his mate if it's the last thing he ever does, Kikyou tell me that I will somehow die soon, I also have to decide what to do with the Shikon No Tama, Sango telling me that I don't belong here.
Kagome re-opened her eyes and a small smile spread across her face. And the one thing that I will never forget. Inuyasha telling me that he loves me. I'm so glad he feels the same way as I do him. I never thought that he would…until yesterday. Mama would be so happy if I were able to tell her that I was finally with Inuyasha.
Kagome looked down at her arm and saw that the bandage was still wrapped around her arm. Its true I forgot to take it off last night.
She brought her arm to her face and slowly unwrapped her cut. She noticed that it was healing pretty fast, just like Kaede had told her it would. She dipped it under the water and let the burning stinging sensation spread through her arm.
After a while the burning sensation stopped. Kagome left her arm in the water so that it could take in oxygen. Mama always told me to let my cuts breathe and heal. Even if I didn't want to take off my bandage Mama always forced me too. She always took care of me no matter what.
Tears started welling up in her auburn eyes. Mama I miss you so much. Now I know how Sango feels not being able to see her family. But I can make the choice to go back and see you guys, Sango can't make any choices.
She shook her head back and forth trying to forget what she had just thought. She took her shampoo and lathered it on her black hair. The smell of roses filled the air. When she had finished rubbing the lotion on her head she ducked her head under the warm water and rinsed her hair.
As Kagome slowly re-surfaced she noticed she wasn't alone. She quickly came out of the water and came face-to-face with Sango.
Kagome squeaked in shock. Her face suddenly became serious. "What is it Sango? Are you going to tell me to leave to springs too? Cause I don't have the intention too."
Sango looked at her friend with soft eyes. "Look Kagome…I'm sorry that I lashed out at you yesterday."
Kagome's gaze left hers to go back at the water. "I heard everything. I heard what you told Inuyasha. I know that I sympathize a lot and I will stop."
Sango took her lavender scented soap that Kagome had given her and washed her soft body. "I didn't mean anything that I said, honestly. I just let my anger for Miroku slip out of you."
Kagome looked back at her friend and saw that she really meant it. The look in her eyes told her. "Sango…"
Sango looked at Kagome after lathering her body in the soap. "Hm?"
She threw Sango a smile. "Daijobu desu."
Sango wasn't sure Kagome had meant that. She moved closer to Kagome to examine her facial expression. "Are you sure? I am so sorry Kagome. You don't have to accept my apology."
Kagome shook her head. "No need to worry."
Sango sighed in relief. Kagome still is the same person as she was when we first met, nice and gentle. She may be a bit too sympathetic but I guess I have to live with it if she stays here.
Sango's gaze suddenly left Kagome's eyes to meet a purple spot on her neck. She pointed at it. Her mouth opened slightly. "Kagome, what's that purple thing on your neck?"
Kagome noticed her expression and tried not to laugh. She covered the spot with her wet hand. "Oh that…well…I um…have no idea."
Sango removed Kagome's hand with hers and looked closer at the purple marking. "Maybe a bug bit you last night. We should go and ask Kaede."
Kagome shook her head. "Iie…I'm fine. It doesn't hurt at all."
Kagome looked up at the purplish and pinkish sky.
Sweet patterns created the sky to give it a warm glow. The sun made its peaking view from behind the green filled mountain. Rays from the sunlight hit Kagome's eyes causing her to flinch from its brightness.
Her body tingled at the warmth and peace the sun gave her in the early morning. "Just look at the sunrise. I've never seen one like this…kirei."
Sango turned around and looked towards the morning glow. For a second Sango thought that she had gotten blind from the suns bright rays. When her eyes adjusted to the strong light everything seemed more beautiful. She smiled at the scenery. "Uskushi…" She softly whispered.
Kagome just nodded.
"Kagome-mama! Where are you?" Shippo yelled out loud, running towards her scent. He smelt her near the hot spring and ran towards the place that would lead him to Kagome.
Kagome looked around at hearing Shippo's shout. As she turned Shippo was running towards her. Kagome stuck out her hands. "Iie…Shippo not-"
Splash
Kagome picked up the now soaking wet Shippo from the water. She heard Sango's faint laugh. "In the water…" She grunted.
Inuyasha was making break feast with Miroku when he saw the girls and a very wet Shippo arrive back. "What the hell happened to you Shippo?"
Kagome was holding the wet Kitsune. "Well…Shippo jumped in the water with his clothes on."
She walked over to her sleeping bag and flopped down on it. She took off the Kitsune's clothes off and gave him her pink t-shirt. It was too big for him so when he walked he dragged it in the dirt.
As Kagome was combing her wet hair a certain Hanyou that we all love was staring at her. Water was dripping on her white tank top making it more see through. Kagome stood up and shook her head letting the water spill from her hair onto her clothes.
"Inuyasha!" Miroku yelled at the Hanyou.
Miroku's annoying voice had snapped Inuyasha out of his daze. He turned at looked at the Monk. "What the hell do you want?" He snapped at the Monk.
Miroku sat beside Inuyasha and leaned close to him.
Inuyasha quickly back away. "EW MONK I DON'T WANT TO KISS YOU!"
A thump was heard as Inuyasha let Miroku fall.
Kagome, Sango, Shippo and Kaede all turned to look at Miroku and Inuyasha.
Miroku was face first in the dirt with his butt in the air and Inuyasha was behind him standing up with his arms crossed in front of his muscular chest.
Kagome and Sango giggled at the scene and then turned back to doing their things. Kaede and Shippo didn't bother with it and went back to doing their things also.
Miroku stood up and dragged Inuyasha down with him quickly to sit on the ground. He leaned near Inuyasha's ear this time and whispered to him, "What's that purple thing on Kagome's neck?"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and he knew that he was the one that caused that marking on her neck from sucking on her creamy skin. "Feh. Do you think I care?" He asked the Monk looking back at him.
Miroku crawled back to the food in the pot and stirred it. He glanced back at Inuyasha and saw him staring at her again. He quirked his lip and went back to cooking. You really do love Kagome, don't you Inuyasha?
Kagome and Sango both walked over to the guys and sat down. Kagome was beside Inuyasha and Sango beside Kagome. Kagome noticed Sango looking at Miroku sadly.
Kagome looked at Sango and whispered. "Are you still mad at Miroku?"
Inuyasha's ear twitched and he looked at Sango. He leaned in closer in front of Kagome so that he could talk to Sango also. He did on purpose to put his hand on her leg.
She looked down slightly and blushed feeling his hand on her thigh. His hand…it's so close too…Kagome's eyes widened at the thought. What am I thinking here? Get a grip Kagome…
Inuyasha whispered to Sango. "Hai…are you going to tell us what happened?"
Sango looked at her hands that were in fists on her upper leg. As she was looking at her hands she noticed that Inuyasha's hand was on Kagome's thigh. Since when does Inuyasha put his hand on Kagome's leg…and so close to her…Sango's eyes widened at the thought of that. Eww Sango, what's wrong with you? Get that nasty thought out of your head.
Sango focused back on what was going on. "I will tell you later." She looked back at Kagome's neck. "Hey Kaede, can you come over here please?"
Kagome noticed that Sango was looking at her neck. She put a hand over her purple spot.
Inuyasha stood up and went to look at what Sango was looking at even though he already knew.
Sango looked at Inuyasha who was beside her. "Do you know what that purple thing is?"
Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's hand looked at her purple mark. He leaned closer to her neck and sniffed it dragging along her scent that he loved so much. Roses filled his mind and made him dizzy in her scent. Kami how he loved her scent. He placed Kagome's hair on both sides of his face so that Sango couldn't see what he was doing.
Kagome noticed this an whispered to him. "What are you doing?"
He looked back at her and smiled. "Don't worry they can't see a thing with your hair in the way."
She looked at him suspiciously and shrugged it off.
He gave her a grin and flicked his tongue over her purple spot. He felt her shiver from the sensation and he kissed her neck sending more shivers down her spin. He felt her grab his Haori and gripped it slightly.
Sango looked suspiciously at the two when she saw Kagome grab his Haori and grip it.
Kaede arrived beside Kagome and saw Inuyasha an Kagome's face both buried into her hair. She poked Inuyasha in the ribs and heard him growl.
He got out of Kagome's hair and looked like nothing happened. He felt Kagome let go of his Haori. He turned around and looked at Kaede. He 'Feh'd' and moved out of the way to let her examin Kagome's neck. "Arigato, Hanyou."
He glared at Kaede when she said that. A death glare, that every demon would be scared of, but Kaede just looked at Inuyasha acting as if she said nothing. I hate it when she or anybody calls me that. Old hag!
Kaede examined Kagome's spot, asking her questions before she started. But one question caught everyone's attention.
"Did ye mate with any demon, child?" Kaede asked.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Kagome. Her eyes went wide as she looked at everyone. She looked at Inuyasha and shook her head. "Iie. Kaede-sama."
Kaede pressed her finger on the spot. "Does it hurt ye?"
She simply shook her head. "Iie…not at all."
After a couple more minutes of asking Kagome questions Kaede finally told her that she didn't know what it was.
"Break feast is ready!" Miroku told them.
The group all sat down in a circle around the pot of food with their bowls in hand waiting to be served. Miroku poured food for everyone, except Sango.
Kagome and Inuyasha both looked at Miroku and Sango, who were glaring at each other.
Miroku turned his head away and poured himself some food and started eating.
Sango grunted and poured herself some of the food.
Kagome and Inuyasha both looked at each other and they both shrugged and ate their morning meal.
After 5 minutes of eating in complete silence and only sounds of their mouths chewing the food, Inuyasha was the first one finished eating. "Old hag!" He yelled looking at Kaede, who just kept on eating.
No one answered, they all just kept eating.
Once again Inuyasha yelled. "Old Hag!"
Still no answer.
Inuyasha sighed giving into defeat. "Kaede-babaa…"
Kaede looked up and Inuyasha, putting down her bowl. "What is it Hanyou?"
Inuyasha squinted at the used name. "Me and Kagome went to your village yesterday."
Everyone stopped eating and looked at Inuyasha. He could tell by the way Kaede was moving that she wanted to hear more. "Well…what I might tell you will shock you but…who cares"
Kaede was getting pretty anxious. "Hai…Inuyasha"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and back at Kaede. "Its completely destroyed from the tornado."
Kaede just stared at Inuyasha as if she wasn't believing any thing coming from his mouth. She stood up and walked over to her bag and started to things of it.
Kagome put down her empty bowl and walked over to Kaede. "Kaede where are you going?"
Kaede kept packing her stuff not looking once at Kagome. "I'm going back to thy village. I'm going go find thy villagers and rebuild thy village again."
Inuyasha stood up and walked towards Kaede and took her bag from her old hands. "Are you stupid, hag? The village is completely gone. How will you find everyone by yourself?"
"She won't be by herself."
Inuyasha turned around and saw Kagome looking strait at him. She took the bag from his hands and gave it back to Kaede. "I'm going too, is that alright Kaede?"
Kaede gave Kagome a sincere smile. "Domo Arigato gozaimasu Kagome. I would really appreciate the help."
Kagome smiled back at the old woman.
"(Sango) I'm coming too, (Miroku) Me three, (Shippo) Me four!"
Kagome turned around and all of her friends were standing up. She smiled sweetly and looked back at Inuyasha. She put a hand on his shoulder. "I guess you have to come too!"
He glared at Kagome and turned back around. "Feh!"
Kagome smiled at him and ran to her sleeping bag. She walked over to Shippo's clothes and saw that they were now dried. She called Shippo over.
He ran towards her looking funny in her big t-shirt.
She picked up Shippo and changed him putting him back into his original clothes.
Inuyasha looked around not finding anything interesting so he put Kagome's sleeping bag away in her big yellow bag.
Kagome finally put Shippo down and walked over to him. She saw him look back at her as she put her arms around him neck and he put his arms around her waist. "I love you Kagome."
She smiled at him. She went on her tipitoes and kissed him on the lips. He pulled her closer to his chest. She pulled away and hugged him. "I love you too." Kagome turned around and her mouth dropped to the ground when she saw…
