Hey, all! Welcome to the next chapter! Thank you all for not freaking over how I did the 'sex' scene! I really apreciate it!
Spell checker's still out, but hopefully I'll be allowed back on my puter tomorrow to fix that. Please be patient!
Also, inu-luver-2004, SSHHH!! Don't give away my story! (lol) Oh yeah, I'm that evil! Muahaha!
On to the chappy!
Chapter 11
It was early morning. Kagome thought probably around six, and she was awake. She'd slept wonderfully and had awoken to see him beside her. Sesshoumaru looked like such an angel when he was asleep.
Kagome crawled out of the bed, and was able to reach her staff. She crept out of the room and went to the kitchen. It may be six in the morning, but she despirately wanted to do something to show how she felt. She mixed, poured, fried, baked and arranged, but though she was working herself fiercely in this situation, her leg, she still couldn't stop smiling. Before too long, there was enough food to feed two armies, and she was still the only one awake.
It was nearing ten, and since she did have breakfast made, she felt it was a good time to wake everyone. Shippo and Rin were just happy to see she was feeling better, and fortunately Shippo kept his lude comments to himself. She was still wondering where he'd picked those comments up from...
Sesshoumaru opened his eyes just as she reached for his shoulder. Suddenly Kagome frose. She knew how she felt, but did he feel the same? Would he keep this secret for his reputation? She remembered Jaken's response to them, and began to worry. He turned over to face her, and she just stood, her hand outstretched, and beginning to shake. He looked at her, confused for a moment, and reached out, taking her hand. "Is everything alright, Kagome-koi?"
He just called her koi! She smiled and nodded enthusiastically. That answered her question! "Breakfast is done! The kids are waiting for us." She grinned, unable to stop, no matter how hard she tried. She was beginning to feel like an idiot, grinning all morning as if she had no clue...
Sesshoumaru sniffed at the air. "Smells good. Your friends are here, I'll answer the door. You sit, you still need your rest." Kagome nodded. He must have known how much energy she'd spent this morning, and her leg was still in recovery, though it did feel much better. '
'Figures!' Kagome thought to herself, still trying to wipe this stupid grinn from her face. 'I make food and Miroku's here!' She began to giggle. It had been three days since they'd been here, and she'd known that they would return soon. She entered the dining room and had just sat when they entered.
Sango walked in first, and Kagome nearly died. She had flowers woven into a braid at the back of her head. Her kimono was a lilac color, and she was wearing a pink obi. Miroku was next, he dressed the same, but now looked back to himself completely, as if the last four months had never happened. Kagome greeted them both, inwardly sighing at how the couple was doing. Seeing Miroku in good shape again was such a relief. Kohaku walked in last, just behind Sesshoumaru, and had a look on his face halfway between over-alert and terrified. Kagome couldn't help but giggle at this.
Everyone was finally beginning to eat when Miroku spoke to Kagome. "Oh, Myouga says hi. He's glad that your finally happy, and he told me to tell you he wants to see you one last time before you return to your own time."
Kagome was nervous about saying it, but she had to make it official. To know once and for all it's what she wanted. She quietly placed down her chopsticks, and was mustering up courage. Everyone looked to her, and stopped eating, worried about what could be wrong.
"I'm not going back. I've realised I belong here now. I may have come from far into the future, but by spending so much time here, I've lost any future I had from there, and I feel like this is my home now." She finally looked up, and Shippo looked to be on the virge of tears, smiling as she had done earlier. Rin was smiling nearly as much, but without the excess moisture. Sesshoumaru looked into her eyes for a second, than visibly relaxed. He breathed out a sigh of relief, and Kagome realised this had been worrying him. Sango and Miroku were just staring at her. Not happy, not sad, just in shock. Finally Miroku spoke.
"All that time we waited while you got text books and took exams and you decided to stay here? Sheesh!" Kagome was about to feel offended, when he started laughing out loud. Sango joined in the laughter, followed by the kids, including Kohaku, and Kagome herself. Sesshoumaru just sat and looked at her, and she knew he was holding back a smile. She smiled at him, and it cracked him. He began smiling, but looked down to his plate to keep it from showing.
'I AM home!' she thought to herself, and she knew it was true, and it was thuroughly what she wanted. There was only one thing left to do. "This means I have to go home. I have to get supplies, my clothing, and let my family know what's happening. None of you have ever been to my time, and I'd apreciate it if you would come with me. To let my mom meet the ones who've protected me for so long." She looked hopefully around the room, and everyone was looking amongst themselves, until finally Shippo spoke. "Can I call your mom grandma?" Kagome grinned, and everyone else nodded, and the plans were discussed. They left for the bone eaters well about an hour after breakfast.
