chaper 17

Inuyasha and Kagome got back to the village and went to their tent. "Kagome..where do you want this stuff?" Inuyasha was still holding the mountain of packages he'd given her. She giggled and pointed to a corner but realized he couldn't see her,"over there in the corner." She took some of the top packages and set them where she wanted them. he set the rest of them down and stared at Kagome. She looked gorgeous in her new kimono, he just couldn't stop looking at her. "if you keep staring your eyes will be stuck open forever." Inuyasha closed his eyes immediately and Kagome laughed becasue he'd believed her. He growled realizing he'd been tricked and swept her off her feet and dropped her on the futon, then he sat on her back and refused to get up, occasinoally tickling her or fiddling with her ears, which made her go crazy like he did. "Aww...oh Inuyasha stop it..leave my ears alone! Ack! Oi! Lemme up Inuyasha! you're squishing me!" He slid off of her so he was now sitting behind her and she smiled, "You touch my ears and I'll tweak your nose." Inuyasha whimpered at the thought of her tweaking his nose and drew his hands back, he laid down and wrapped his arms around her waist, burying his face in her neck. He whispered into her neck so as not to hurt her ears, "oi...can you smell it? Ayame and Kouga's scents..they're sitting together...quite close actually..think they made up like us?" Kageom rolled over, smiling and laced her fingers into her hanyou's gorgeous silver hair, 'I dont know...what did Kouga do in that village? Was he a good boy? I made him go apologize to her and tell her how he feels...I wonder if it worked." Inuyasha snorted, "well..if you recall he had no problem telling you how he felt..why would he have any trouble telling Ayame?" Kageom smiled at how angry and flustered Inuyasha had become at the mere memory of how Kouga used to come to her at random times and pronounce his love to her telling Inuyasha to keep his hands off. 'Oh...Yasha..you aren't jealous are you? You knowI never liked him..we were friends and that was it." Inuyasha sighed and kissed her nose, "yeah I know..it was still annoying though..you never told him off..." He sat up and pulled her up with ihm and she laughed, "You really think it woulda done anything? back then he was a man on a mission and nothing could get in his way.." She smiled and stood up. "C'mon..let's go see them."

Ayame nuzzled Kouga, he tightened his grip around her waist huging her from behind, whispering sweet nothings in her ear. She smiled a little bit and went to kiss his cheek but Kagome and Inuyasha cam in at that moment and she stopped. "Hey... K-Kagome.." Ayame's face was glowing crimson and it matched Kouga's. Inuyasha was smirking at him but Kouga refused to make eye contact. "Sooo... how many wolf pups should we expect to babysit after your marriage?" Kagome elbowed Inuyasha in the stomach and shot him a evil look before smiling and kneeling next to Ayame, "So... you're going on with the wedding aren't you?" Kouga wasn't paying attention to her, he'd slid out from under Ayame and started yakking with Inuyasha. Ayame sighed and nodded, "Yes... its back on... and its because we both want it to happen..." Kagome had to wait for it to sink in, once it did she squealed and hugged Ayame tight around the neck, "I'm so happy for you!" Ayame laughed a little at how silly Kagome was acting, Inuyasha and Kouga flung around, wondering what was going on and that only made Ayame laugh harder. Kouga finally got her to stop and they all sat down to chit chat.

An hour Later

"Kagome... Kagome? Hey..? She's asleep..." Inuyasha nudged the girl once more and she fell over into his lap. Yep, she was out cold. He laughed a little bit and said goodnight to Ayame and Kouga, "REmember Kouga she's recovering from a few injuries. You can't be too rough with her." He winked and laughed, Ayame went crimson. Kouga smirked, "Yeah well yours is asleep. So unless you take 'em when they're helpless I'd say you have to wait at least a day or so. Sorry 'bout your luck." Inuyasha frowned, Kouga had won that round, but he'd get him back tomorrow. Inuyasha hauled Kagome back to their hut and laid her on the futon. It was rather small so he trekked back outside after saying goodnight and hopped in a tree. As he figured, a couple hours after he fell asleep she woke up and realized he wasn't there. Just as he'd known she came outside, spotted him and within seconds she'd nestled herself a comfy place in his lap and went back to sleep. He smirked, "Crazy chick... how can she tell when I'm not there?" Kagome smiled a little and nudged him, "I know... because... its always cold.. and lonely without you next to me.. G'night yasha..." He nudged her for a better explanation but she was out cold and starting to frost. ((It's a joke people...--))
