Chapter 12: Fluff, Sit, and Shippo Gets Annoying
Kagome opened her eyes and realized she was not on the ground anymore. She then noticed the arms wrapped around her and the body that the arms were connected too. She turned her head and looked at the half demon holding on to her. Golden eyes stared back at her and she smiled. "How did I end up here? And where is Shippo?"
"After you fell asleep Shippo woke up and called up to me asking me if it was safe for you to stay down there on the ground. He asked me to bring you up here so nothing bad would happen to you if I fell asleep. Then he went over and slept by Miroku and Sango. See he's over there" he said pointing to the odd looking group on the ground.
"Oh I see" Kagome looked down at the monk, demon slayer, two tailed cat and fox demon sleeping together on the ground.
"Its funny how we all came together." Kagome turned back to look at Inuyasha.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you're a half demon, I'm a human, Miroku is a monk, Shippo is a fox demon child, Sango is a demon exterminator and Kilala is a two tailed cat. Isn't it funny how we all get along even though we should have technically killed each other a long time ago?"
"What are you talking about, killed each other?"
"I mean that you probably would have killed me if it hadn't been for the jewel and Sango would have killed you because she is a demon exterminator and she tried to kill you already, and Miroku would have probably been killed by you at some point and the same with Shippo. Now do you understand what I mean?"
"Yeah I do. If it weren't for you being here I probably would have killed those guys. Wow it really makes you think." Inuyasha looked past Kagome and at the sky for a couple minutes thinking to himself and trying to put it into reality what would have probably happened if Kagome hadn't showed up.
"I'm glad you fell through the well when you did" Inuyasha looked back at Kagome
"It wasn't like I did it intentionally or anything. I just made a mistake and fell in." Kagome said quietly
"It wasn't a mistake Kagome you must believe that. If it was a mistake and you weren't meant to be here the well wouldn't have worked and you wouldn't have come through it." Inuyasha told her convincingly.
"I guess…" Kagome looked down at her hands. Inuyasha suddenly grabbed her hands and pulled them up to his face. "It wasn't an accident that you're here. You belong here with all of us. With me." he looked at her and leaned forward and kissed her. Kagome melted into his arms and kissed him back. She let go of his hands and put her hands around his neck. He knew what she wanted and was glad to give it to her but when the time was right. Not in a tree that was for sure. He pulled away and smiled down at Kagome. She looked up at him questioningly.
"Later I promise I will kiss you again. And a real long kiss this time. Ok? I promise after we get out of the tree."
"Oh ok Inuyasha" Kagome smiled
"Kagome?"
"Yes Inuyasha?"
"I love you"
Kagome smiled happily "You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that Inuyasha. I love you too"
Inuyasha embraced her tenderly and kissed her softly again
"I'm not a china doll you know. I'm not made of clay you don't have to be so gentle. I wont break that easily"
"What? Oh ok Kagome I just don't want to ever hurt you"
"I know Inuyasha but as long as we trust each other we wont hurt one another. Not even Naraku or Kikyo can come between us"
"Nothing ever will Kagome I promise"
"You better be careful with all these promises. You might not be able to keep them all"
"Yes I will be able to keep them all."
"If you say so" Kagome sighed
"What do you think I won't be able to?"
"No its just that don't get so cocky that you forget about everything else"
"I'm not cocky!"
"A little bit"
"No way"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes now don't argue with me"
"No and why not?"
"Because I'm right"
"No your not"
"Yes I am"
"No your not"
"Fine then Inuyasha"
"Uh oh Kagome's got that gleam in her eyes again' Inuyasha though cringing ' She is only like that when she makes me-'
"Sit"
Inuyasha's thoughts were cut off as he fell out of the tree and landed face first into the ground.
"That'll teach you for arguing with me" Kagome smirked
Inuyasha only growled
"I think I should go wake up the others now don't you?" she asked smiling down at him
"Yes" he grumbled
Kagome walked over to where the others were sleeping "Hey guys time to wake up!" she called gently
Inuyasha finally was able to stand up and was now muttering about a certain girl who for admitting she loved him was not showing it to well.
"Oh get over it Inuyasha so I made you si- I mean I said the s word oh well"
"Oh well? How would you like it if every time someone said sit that you smashed to the ground?"
"Well I wouldn't make that person angry and maybe they wouldn't say that certain word as often"
"Right Kagome" Inuyasha sighed knowing it was useless to try and not make Kagome mad.
"OK you sleepy heads" Kagome was calling softly to their sleeping friends "Its time to get up now"
"Oh you don't do it right" Inuyasha said to her. "Here watch me"
He walked over to the group and stood right above their heads. He leaned down and screamed "WAKE UP!"
The poor unsuspecting people jumped up and grabbed their weapons prepared for a demon to attack them. Instead it was a certain half demon laughing his head off. "You guys should have seen your faces!" he was laughing
Kagome sighed "Sorry guys for that rude awakening. He felt like being a jerk so he did that. I'm sorry"
"Its ok" Miroku said, breathing hard "he just scared us that's all"
Sango set down her boomerang and glared at Inuyasha "You didn't have to do that to wake us up"
"Yeah" Shippo added in
"Oh get over it you guys. Kagome was trying to wake you up and it wasn't working so I took over and woke you up" Inuyasha said
"Whatever just don't do it again" Sango said
"Ok I wont"
"Well now that you guys are up how do you feel about going after another jewel shard? I think I can sense one about a half a days walk away from here."
"Oh, uh ok Kagome we can have breakfast then get going. It was getting boring here without any demons attacking." Miroku said then thought for a minute "Well any important demons that is" Miroku glared pointedly at Inuyasha who grinned sheepishly.
o0o0o0o0o0o0o
After eating breakfast and getting ready to leave the group was walking along another pathway heading in the direction of the shard.
"Are we there yet?" Shippo asked
"No Shippo we still have a long way to go" Kagome said
"How long?"
"A long time"
"How long is a long time?"
"Just be quiet ya imp" Inuyasha growled
"Why?"
"Because I said so"
"Why?"
"Because your annoying"
"Why?"
"Because"
"Why?"
"Because"
"Why?"
"Because!" Inuyasha growled
"Ok that's enough you guys" Kagome cut in
"Ok" they both said at the same time.
All was quiet and peaceful until Shippo started up again.
"When are we going to be there?"
"Soon" Sango said
"How soon?"
"Pretty soon"
"How soon is that?"
"Closer than before"
"Oh ok" Shippo quieted down again
o0o0o0o0o0o
A few minutes later Shippo just couldn't keep quiet. "Are we there yet?"
"No" Miroku said
"Now?"
"No" Sango said
"Now?"
"No" Kagome said
"Now?"
"NO!" Inuyasha yelled
"Well jeez you didn't have to yell you know. I'm right here." Shippo said
"That's enough!" Inuyasha said angrily "I've had just about enough out of you!" with that said he hit Shippo over the head and a large bump appeared "Now for every question you ask you're going to get another one of those" Inuyasha said pointing to the bump.
"Ouch Inuyasha why do you have to hit so hard?"
Inuyasha hit him again giving him another bump "I warned you about asking questions"
Shippo pouted and then glared at Inuyasha "Meanie"
Inuyasha sighed 'this is going to be a long walk' he thought
