Ame no Youni
Kagome stood at the kitchen counter cutting some carrots for a salad. Miroku was at work and she decided she better make use of herself.
It had been nearly a week and almost everyone but Inuyasha and Sango knew where she was.
She was still scared to confront Inuyasha.
Upon hearing the door open she smiled a little and threw some of the chopped carrots into the salad. After putting the knife on the counter, she walked to the door. Miroku appeared in front of her and enveloped her in a hug. She smiled as she walked back into the kitchen with him close behind.
He left to the bathroom while Kagome continued to chop vegetables for the salad. The shutting of the door to the bathroom when he came out startled her and she cut her finger.
The blood seeped out as she looked at it. Miroku upon seen her start to bleed, came to her and took her to the bathroom.
He bandaged her finger and set her down on the floor from the bathroom counter. Her back was against the counter, thus realizing the close distance between them. Miroku's breathe could be felt on her shoulders. Kagome's cheeks turned slightly pink.
He saw but didn't say anything. He tucked a strand of her ebony hair behind her ear and then walked out of the bathroom.
She followed behind and finished making the salad soon after.
Dinner was silent. But after dinner the phone rang.
Miroku had gone to the shower and Kagome didn't bother to check the caller ID.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Kagome!" It was Sango.
"…"
"Come on Kagome I know your phone voice!" Sango demanded the girl speak.
"I-I-" Kagome stuttered.
"Where have you been? What are you doing at 'roku's house?" She asked excited to hear her friends voice again.
"Nothing…Just nothing…" She said silently.
"Wait till everyone hears you're ok!"
Kagome stiffened. Suddenly the phone was yanked out of her hand.
"Sango?" Miroku said. He had come out of the bathroom and was now in his towel.
Kagome was still stiff.
"Miroku! When did you find her?"
"Sango. You cant tell Inuyasha she's here. We have things to discuss with you later. Just don't tell him."
"Doesn't he have a right to know his fiancée is safe?" She asked confused.
"No…" He stated plainly. "We'll discuss it later. Tomorrow you can come over to see her."
Sango answered in understanding and they hung up.
"Why did you answer?" He asked firmly.
"I…don't know…" She said looking down. "It was just impulse I …guess…" She trailed off
He held her close and sighed. "Be careful, You're lucky it wasn't Inuyasha who called." He said with slight annoyance.
"Sorry…" She said as she leaned against him. She then realized that he was still only in his towel. She struggled out of his arms as a pink blush rushed up to her cheek.
He smirked. Atleast he was getting more reaction from her.
He went to his room and changed. Later he came out to her doing dishes. He smiled and wrapped her arms around her from behind.
"You don't have to work you know. You're my guest. And you should get some rest. I have a feeling Sango wont give us peace till we spill everything." He said quietly while rocking her side to side a bit.
"Alright…" She said putting the cloth down.
He walked her to her room and she shut her door.
He went to his own room and slid under his covers.
Later that night Kagome woke with a start. A crack of thunder outside sounded.
How she hated thunder. She opened her door softly and walked towards Mirokus door. She screeched and ran faster as it cracked again.
Quickly opening the door and closing it she looked over at his sleeping form. She couldn't wake him…could she?
She was just about to turn the handle when the thunder boomed and she whimpered quite audibly. Miroku sat up rubbing his eyes.
"You ok Gome?" He yawned.
She shook her head shyly.
He tossed the covers to the side and walked up to her. He hugged her tightly from the front. "What's wrong?" he asked softly.
The thunder sounded and she tensed up. He smiled. So it was the thunder and lightning. Just like when they were young. He mused a bit and then picked her up.
Laying her down in his bed and sliding in beside her, he wrapped his legs with hers and wrapped his arms around her again. She slowly relaxed into his chest. He smiled and kissed her forehead again.
"Roku…" She mumbled.
"Hmm?" He asked giving her a light squeeze.
"What do you think I should do?"
"I'll go with you to talk to Inuyasha." He smiled.
"When?" she said cuddling closer to his warmth.
"Day after tomorrow." He smiled. "Now sleep."
She nodded and quickly drifted back to sleep. The thunder didn't bother her any more and she slept silently. First time in a long time, with out any nightmares.
Getting better? Cute fluffy-ness? Anything you liked much?
Is Kagome too prudish? XD
Tell me I wish to know!
