"Morning Inuyasha." Kagome greeted him, then she picked up the still sleeping form of Shippo that was laying on her blanket. Shippo awoke in her arm, stretching.
"Good morning Kagome." he said. Then he jumped out of her arms, stretching standing on the floor.
"Good morning Inuyasha." he said without thinking.
"Hm?" Inuyasha and Kagome wondered. Usually Shippo wouldn´t greet Inuyasha good morning. Feeling the stares on his back he turned around and asked:
"What"
"Oh, nothing." Kagome gave him a sweet smile and went to make her bed. Inuyasha only looked away, hiding a smile. Shippo went out the door with Kirara to play as Sango knocked out the pervert she was supposed to marry. The sound of hiraikotsu connecting with Mirokus skull resembled the sound of tree against tree. Nobody cared as it was as normal as Miroku touching her ass.
It took the group the whole noon to prepare the party thay were going to have. There would be no sermonies, they would only hava a party with lots of food and games. The reason it took the whole noon was because they wanted to have the party in a clearing in the woods. Inuyasha and Miroku had a tough time getting the table trough the woods, inuyasha slightly annoyed that he couldn´t do it his way, because it would probably end up with a broken table. As Inuyasha and Miroku accomplished their mission, the rest of the group had already moved all chairs and some food. As Inuyasha came back to Kaede´s hut he found that the food had ben placed in baskets to be easier to move. He looked at what the three last baskets contained, none of them containen anything perishable. After seeing that he took one basket in his teeth and the other two under his arms and made his way to the clearing. As he came to the clearing the girls had already started to make the table, and it was finished not long after his arrival. The group sat around the table and started to eat and chat. The table contained a lot of meat, rise, fish, bread, souces, pasta, and of course, very much ramen.
"Hey inuyasha," Miroku started a conversation, "you are really lucky, I mean you are around 200 years old and is marrying a 15 year old girl"
"You are lucky too," Inuyasha anwsered, "you found someone to marry even though your coursed hand, and I´m not talking about the kazaana"
"At least I´m not two-timing"
"What. did. you. just. say"
"I think we all know what I´m talking about"
"I didn´t two-time, goddamn it"
"You did"
"Did not"
"Then what du you call"
"Miroku!" Kagome interruped, obviusly not liking where this conversation was heading.
"Can you please stop destroying the good time we´re having"
"Ok, ok!" he said, admitting his defeat. He moved his hand from over to under the table, to test the on his knees it seemed. But knowing Miroku they knew he had another purpose.
"If you tuch my ass you´ll die." Sango warned him. Miroku sighed, unable of doing his two favorite hobbys, this party didn´t seem as fun he had imagined it.
Inuyasha picked up a sent, he stod up and gripped tetsusaigas hilt. He went towards the surrounding woods thickest part, there the shadows were completely black. Before anyone could ask he said:
"Sesshoumaru, what are you doing here?" Inuyasha was unsure of what to do because of his last encounter with his brother. He didn´t unshealt tetsusaiga because his brother maybe would take is as a threat, starting a fight. And he didn´t want that. But just in case, he had a firm grip on the hilt.
"Can´t I see my brother on his wedding?" Sesshoumaru asked, stepping out from the shadow. A smile on his face. Everybody at the table frooze looking at him, they too, unsure of what to do.
"Keh, don´t tell me that you´re jealous or something, because I doubt the you´ll ever..." Inuyasha stopped as he saw the woman beside Sesshoumaru.
"Kagura?" everyone asked in chorus. "I thought you died." Inuyasha continued.
"Oh, I did." she anwsered. To tell of their faces, they obviusly didn´t understand. Sesshoumaru explained:
"Toutousai upgraded tenseiga"
"Speaking of toutousai..." Inuyasha said, turning around and looking up. There on his three eyed oxe Toutousai was.
"Oh-ho Inuyasha!" he greeted, "I need to talk to you, but we can take it later"
He jumped of his oxe and took inuyashas place at the table.
"You don´t mind, do you?" he asked.
"I guess not"
Now sesshoumaru explained why he had come:
"I need to talk to you Inuyasha, now." He said. He stepped aside so Rin and Jaken could walk past him. "I will leave them here, but don´t worry, they won´t attack your friends." he ensured, then starting to walk into the woods. Inuyasha didn´t know why he trusted his brother, but he did.
"I think we´ll need more chairs." Miroku said.
"Don´t worry." Kagura said, cutting down a tree witch her fan. She cutted the tree into five knee-high pieces for each person to sit on. She, Jaken and Rin joined the table.
"So what do you wanna talk about?" Inuyasha asked his brother.
"From now on I´m going to see you as my brother instead of a weak hanyou." Inuyashas eyes went wide. Seeing this Sesshoumaru said:
"I understand that you don´t understand why I going to do so, am I right"
"Eeh, Yes"
"It started when I met you and the miko at the time I was looking for tetsusaiga, I had feeling for you, as a brother of course, but I did not understand or accept them. Instead I pushed them away, together with you. When I met Rin I understood the feelings, still not accepting them. However I did let her travel with me. Lastly, when I met Kagura, or rather when I got to know her, I both understood and accepted the feelnings. I´ve seen things another way since then. I don´t care what a person are anymore, but who they are." Sesshoumaru ended his little speach.
"You sure have changed." Inuyasha said amazed.
"I´m glad I did, I finally understand our father´s last words to me." Inuyasha looked wondering at his brother.
"He said: "Sesshoumaru, do you have something you wish to protect?", a long time I anwsered that question with that I protect nobody, but now I know better. I know I got Kagura, Rin, Jaken and you, Inuyasha. Therefor I will start travel with you instead of alone with my group. More friends is only better, and together we will be stonger. No need to go separate paths"
Inuyasha didn´t know what to say or to do, he only looked at his brother. Again, Sesshoumaru was the one breaking the silence.
"We should go back, you can thing about it"
"Yeah, and by the way, her name is Kagome"
"I will remember that."
As they returned to the party everyone was laughing.
"What did I miss?" Inuyasha asked.
"Oh, I only told them about Sesshoumarus confession." Kagura said.
Sesshoumaru closed his eyes putting a hand to his forehead, not liking where this would lead.
"What? Tell me too!" Inuyasha said, and Kagura started all over again.
Flashback
The last thing Kagura remembered was dying on a field in front of Sesshoumaru, but now she found herself laying on the ground somewhere else. As she turned around she saw Sesshoumaru in time to shealt tenseiga. Sesshoumaru turned around and started to walk, after a few meters he stopped.
"Will you come with me?" he asked.
"What?" she asked back. She stood up and looked at him. He turned his head and said:
"You got your heart back, you are no longer Narakus slave. You are free to do what you want, therfore I am asking, will you come with me"
"Do you want me to come with you?" she asked, looking at the ground with a blush.
"Yes"
"Why would you want that?" Her blush growing a darker shade of red. Without her noticing it, Sesshoumaru had walked up to her and hugged her lightly.
"I dont know why." was his anwser.
Suddenly, a near bush shaked slightly, and Sesshoumaru heard a girls voice.
"I knew it! I knew they were in love"
"Quiet Rin, Sesshoumaru will hear you"
Annoyed, Sesshoumaru threw the bush away, revealing Rin and Jaken.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Jaken said and bowed.
Sesshoumaru hit him in the head and "scolded" Rin:
"Rin, you are not to ever spy on me again"
"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama"
End flashback
Again everybody laughed at the part with Rin, except Sesshoumaru that looked annoyed, Rin that only grinned and Jaken that seemed to be embarressed. After calming down everybody returned to eating and chatting. Time flew by as night arrived and it was time to go home. Kagome placed herself on Inuyashas back for a ride, Shippo on her shoulder.
"See you tomorrow." Inuyasha told the rest of the group, jumping into the woods.
"Where are you going, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked on his back.
"You´ll see"
They came out of the woods at the boneaeters-well, only difference; a small house at it´s side.
"Woah! You built this?" Shippo asked.
"Yep." Inuyasha anwsered and let Kagome of his back. At first look Kagome thought it looked like Inuyasha only had cutted down a few trees and pounded them into the ground as walls, and placed trees cutted in half as a roof. Then she got a closer look, she saw that was exacly what he had done. Even thought it was simpel, it was very stable. As she got inside she saw that the house got three rooms. One big rom with a fireplace for cooking inte middle, one bedroom for shippo with a small strawbed and one bedroom for her and Inuyasha with a big strawbed.
"Wee! I got my own room!" Shippo squealed happy.
´Of course you got your own room, no way you would be sleeping in the same room as me and Kagome!´ Inuyasha thought.
Kagome changed into her pyjamas and went to bed. Inuyasha took of his haori and joined her. They shared a kiss, and then just lay still in their embrace. When Inuyasha was sure Kagome was sleeping, he slowly made his way out of the bed and slipped into his haori. He wasn´t even a little bit sleepy, and laying awake with Kagome all night long would either bore him to death or drive him crazy. He went out for a walk in the woods, there he met his brother.
End of chp. 2.
I know this chapter isn´t as good as the first, but I wanted it this way.
The following chapters will contain more action and adventure, and will probably be more interesting.
I appreciate any reviews.
