Bathing in blood…Chapter 6: Christmas Presents
Kagome and Inuyasha were enjoying there peaceful sleep. That was until Rin walked in to tell them it was supper. She giggled at the sight of the cute couple. In all Rin's years of knowing Inuyasha he had never been this sweet to a girl. It was a nice change… "Inuyasha it's time for supper"
"Ok thanks Rin we'll be right there," said Inuyasha lightly shaking Kagome. Kagome moaned and turned her body to the other side. Inuyasha laughed and shook her a little bit harder.
"Inu I'm awake," said Kagome
"Oh really well I've been shaking you for like 5 minutes. Supper is ready," said Inuyasha as he looked down at Kagome. Kagome's memory was still filled with images of her dead father. Her heart was deeply wounded. But Inuyasha intended on healing those wounds.
"Supper sounds good," said kagome yawning as she sat up in the bed.
"All right let's go," said Inuyasha kissing her forehead as they walked down the stairs.
"Rin that was delicious," said Kagome. She had never tasted something so good.
"Thanks Kagome," said Rin as she began to clear the dishes and Kagome helped. When Inuyasha was sure Kagome wouldn't be able to hear him he and Sesshomaru began to talk.
"What about the body?" asked Inuyasha.
"Taken care off," said Sesshomaru. He had hired a cleaning crew to clean up the evidence that Kagome had even lived there for you see Sesshomaru was a defense lawyer and the best in the country.
"Thanks fluffy I owe you," said Inuyasha.
"Anything for kagome," said Sesshomaru as the girls walked back in.
"So what were you guys talking about?" asked Kagome as her and Rin walked in and sat back down.
"Oh nothing," said Inuyasha.
"I highly doubt that," said Rin
"Well listen I have work tomorrow so I'm going to sleep," said Sesshomaru pushing in his chair and walking to his room with Rin not far behind.
"Kagome are you all right?" asked Inuyasha even though he knew the answer to his question.
"Ya I' am ok. I guess it's just the thought of being alone in the world. It's kind of a lonely prospect."
"You're not alone, I'm right here with you," said Inuyasha hugging Kagome then whispered in her ear…"And always will be!" Kagome then kissed Inuyasha fully on the lips and Inuyasha soon kissed back. After five minutes of kissing they decided they would go to sleep.
3 Months later…
"Christmas break is always awesome," said Miroku as he wrapped his arm around Sango.
"I couldn't agree more," said Kagome. It was Christmas Eve and they had all decided to spend Christmas together. Kagome and Inuyasha had been together for three months now though it felt like 3 years. Inuyasha was slowly repairing the wounds of her heart and Kagome as beginning to open up to him more.
"Christmas kicks ass," said Inuyasha.
"Yes I agree little brother," said Sesshomaru.
"I love presents," said Rin. It was on this night Sesshomaru had proposed to her a year ago. And now there wedding was soon coming up.
"Me two," said Inuyasha.
Kagome though didn't have very much Christmas spirit…sure three months had passed since her fathers' bloody murder but she still felt alone. Even with Inuyasha…Her love…she missed her family. Inuyasha would leave the house sometimes and that was when Kagome kept up her nasty habit. She would cut herself when ever she was able too. It eased the pain of her father. But she would make sure the blood was all gone so Inuyasha couldn't smell it.
"Only three more minutes till it's officially Christmas," said Rin.
"Then we finally get to open our presents," said Miroku. Opening the gifts was the best part.
"Five, four, three, two …one! Merry Christmas," screamed everyone in Unison.
"Ok who wants to open there gifts first," said Sesshomaru.
"Here," said Inuyasha passing Sesshomaru his gift. Sesshomaru opened it and laughed at what he had gotten. 'How to be a lawyer…for dummies'
"Jeeze thanks Inuyasha," said Sesshomaru.
"No problem," said Inuyasha as Miroku handed Sango her gift.
"Oh Miroku it's beautiful," said Sango. Miroku had gotten her a diamond necklace with a gold chain…it's not like he couldn't afford it.
"Here Rin," said Kagome handing Rin her gift….and she laughed she had gotten 'How to plan a wedding for dummies'
"Thanks Kagome I'm going to need this," said Rin. They continued to open there gift until the only people who haven't given each other there gifts were Inuyasha and Kagome. They decided to give them to each other in private.
When everyone was exhausted they headed to there rooms. Miroku and Sango shared a room, Rin and Sesshomaru and of course Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha walked into the room with Kagome and they both yawned.
"Inuyasha do you want to switch presents now?" asked Kagome. Inuyasha had been so hard to buy for. She hoped he would like her gift.
"Sure but you go first. Inuyasha wasn't sure how Kagome would react to his present.
"Ok here," said Kagome holding out a book. Inuyasha took it and opened it. There inside the book was every note he and Kagome had ever written each other. It must've taken her months to put this together. Considering they wrote a note each class. Inuyasha loved it. He grabbed Kagome and kissed her with all his heart they finally broke for air when Inuyasha pulled Kagome to sit in his lap on the bed.
"Kagome I'm not sure how you will react to my present," said Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha I love you…no matter of you even got me anything for Christmas. But he had gotten her something it was in his pocket right now.
"Ok but if you reject me I will still love you," said Inuyasha. Kagome was now curious. She just squeezed his hand reassuringly as Inuyasha gulped.
"Kagome….Will you marry me," asked Inuyasha. "After we graduate I want to spend my whole life with you. I can't even picture my life without you," said Inuyasha as Kagome started crying. 'Oh no. She doesn't want too. How could she I'm just a lowly half-breed'
"Inuyasha…of course I will marry you," said Kagome as she kissed Inuyasha and pushed him down onto the bed. Inuyasha then pulled out the diamond ring and stuck it on her finger.
"Kagome you are my life and always will be," said Inuyasha.
"And you are mine too," said Kagome.
"Merry Christmas my love"
"Merry Christmas Inuyasha," said Kagome as they fell asleep in each other's arms. But this time was different from all the other times. This time showed they truly loved each other and always would.
Kagome and Inuyasha awoke to the smell of pancakes and bacon. Kagome thought back to last night and smiled. Inuyasha had proposed to her. And the huge diamond ring on her finger was proof of that.
"Good morning love," said Kagome as she noticed Inuyasha's eyes open.
"Good morning," said Inuyasha as he lightly kissed her on the lips. They walked down the stairs to see everyone already eating. Sesshomaru noticed the ring on Kagome's finger and smiled. His brother had told him he was going to propose to her and he did.
"Good morning Kagome," said Rin as she also noticed the ring along with Sango and Miroku.
"Inuyasha you did it," squealed Rin. She was so happy to see Inuyasha and Kagome were going to be marries. They were perfect for each-other.
"Feh," was all Inuyasha said as he began to fill his plate with food but Sango ran over to Kagome and hugged her.
"Kagome I'm so happy for you," said Sango squeezing as hard as she could.
"Sango…can't…breathe," said Kagome as Sango let go of her friend.
"Whoops sorry," said Sango. "So when are you guys getting married?"
"After high school and stuff," said Kagome noticing Inuyasha couldn't speak because his mouth was filled with pancake.
"Great," said Miroku enthusiastically,
"I can't wait," said Kagome playing with her ring. She and Sango helped Rin clean up. They all giggled as kagome talked about how she wanted her wedding. And Rin laughed Kagome was a natural wedding planner. Kagome walked into the living room to see Inuyasha on the couch and sat in his lap.
"Hey," said Inuyasha putting his arm around her waist. Kagome just sunk into him.
"Hey," she said as she pecked his on the cheek. The t.v. was on the news as a top story was on
'This is not a very happy Christmas for one family. Mrs. Marie Higurashi was sent to hospital as her truck was slammed by a semi. No further information has been released though police say alcohol was the major cause'
Kagome couldn't move. They showed a picture of the woman and kagome was sure. That woman was her mother. She was the one who caused all the pain in Kagome's life; she was the one that left kagome with her now deceased father. Inuyasha noticed the pain in Kagome's eyes and pulled her into the kitchen.
"Kagome what's wrong?" asked Inuyasha
"Inuyasha that woman on the news was…was my…mother," said Kagome quietly saying the last word.
"Oh Kagome really im so sorry," said Inuyasha hugging her.
"It's ok I barley new her. She left me many years ago," said Kagome
"I now how you feel my mother died when I was young," said Inuyasha as he was bout to kiss Kagome when he realized they had an audience.
"Sheesh can't you guys go two minutes without kissing?" asked Miroku.
"I should ask you the same question," said Inuyasha, as Miroku and Sango blushed.
"Listen I say we leave the girls to chat and go and do some manly things," said Miroku.
"Sure sounds good," said Inuyasha. So he, Sesshomaru and Miroku went to go and do something.
"Well that was interesting," said Sango. They all talked for about an hour. But Kagome was once again reminded of her sick past. Images of her father raping her and her mother leaving flashed into her head.
"I'll be right back," said Kagome as she walked to the washroom. She pulled out a new razor blade. Its sharp edge gleamed as she brought it to her arm. She pulled it across her arm in one quick sweep. A little steam of blood escaped but her memory disappeared. She then cleaned up the mess making sure Inuyasha would be unable to smell blood. She thought Inuyasha would leave her if he ever found out that she still cut herself. But nobody understood…it was her release.
(A/N: Ok ya this one time I broke my wrist playing v-ball and my brother pushed me into the pool and I got in trouble for getting my cast wet. Well when I got my new dry cast I chased my brother around the house with it because for my brother getting hit on the arm with a cast hurts a hell of a lot more than getting hit with a bare hand lol)
