Chapter 7 inu POV
I am so sorry for not updating sooner. Between the false chickenpox and the fact that my computer time has been limited to almost zilch I've gotten lost. Since it's spring break I'll try to post another one this week.
Disclaimer :I don't own Inuyasha. There's many things I don't own actually. How sad.
Ok here's the chappie and remember to review!
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
My eyes opened slowly as the first rays of light filtered through the curtains. The couch I was on was comfy and warm, unlike the wall in the hut. I suddenly remembered where I was.
Kagome's house...
Memories of yesterday filed my mind. The Sota episode, the walk back, the slaughter of Kagome's family. How could she keep it all inside of her all this time. No one else noticed anything was wrong with her. No wonder she looked so miserable.
I stood up and stretched. I went over to Kagome's room and knocked on the door.
"Kagome?"
No answer came from the other side.
"Kagome?"
Still no answer.
"Fine wench." I slammed the door open only to find it empty. The window was wide open.
Oh no. Where is she?
I turned around and ran out of the room. "Kagooommee!" I jumped onto the first floor and ran into the kitchen, "KAGome.."
She stood there, next to the stove, holding a glass of water in her hand. "Hey" she said. Her voice seemed so small. I can't scream at her now. I looked around the kitchen, "Watcha doing?". She took another sip of water, "I couldn't sleep so I came to see if I could make us some breakfast. I only realized a few minutes ago that there's no food. The only thing left is ramen." She smirked, "But you'll like that, won't you? I'll make us some right now."
She turned around and turned on the stove. She put a pot filled with water on the surface.
"Um, it'll take about two minutes." She looked back at me but avoided looking at my face; her hands fidgeted with a rag.
"I'll be setting the table, will you watch the food for me?"
My silent nod was barely acknowledged as she left the room quickly, without looking back.
Why is she acting this way? She acts like she's scared of me.
The sound of water hitting the floor brought me back to reality. There was steam filling the room and the water from the pot was boiling over.
"Kaggoomme! Something's wrong with the food!" In a flash she was in the kitchen turning a bunch of buttons and taking the pot off the stove.
"God Inuyasha! What am I going to do with you? I can't leave you alone for tow seconds!" I would have been mad, except for the small smile that appeared on her face after she realized what she said.
Her smile...
It was small... but it was there.

NO ONE'S POV
The two sat at the table staring at their food, even Inuyasha was looking at the hot bowl with hesitation. He took the noodles into his mouth and swallowed slowly, he looked at Kagome.
"You should eat."
"I'm not really hungry."
"When was the last time you ate?"
"I dunno..."She was silent for a moment, what she said was barely a whisper.
"... the night of their deaths."
His eyes widened, "What! Are you crazy? You need to eat or you'll get sick! What would your mother say if she saw you now?"
At the last part of his tirade his voice softened. What he said had struck a chord in her. He looked at her, "I'm sorry."
She returned his gaze with a smile, a hint of tears in her eyes. "She would be mad."
"Exactly. So we need you to eat."
Suddenly he stood up from his place and sat next to her. After grabbing the chopsticks and lifting the bowl he turned to her, "Eat."
"Inuyasha...no..."
"Yes. Eat."He twirled the noodles in front of her. "Open."
With a sigh she gave up and took the food. He continued feeding her until she ate the very last bit of ramen. Inuyasha started to stand up, picking up the bowl as he did so.
"Thank you."
He turned around to face Kagome; he smiled unconsciously, "Feh wench, don't thank me yet. We're going back to my era as soon as you're ready."
"You're actually willing to wait?"
He left for the kitchen, all she heard from him was a short "Feh."
sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
After a hot shower Kagome stood in her room; Inuyasha was nowhere in sight. He must be in the living room.
She went over to her bed and sat down, the window was open and a cold breeze blew in. She drew her bathrobe closer together. So cold. She looked around her room, the room that had so many times been her sanctuary. Now it seemed small. Strange. Another breeze blew in but she didn't move this time. A small sob escaped her throat. No. I can't cry. I've done that enough. I need to get out of here and go find Naraku. She wiped her tears away
"Hey. You ok?"
Inuyasha stood by the door.She nodded and smiled. "Yeah, I just need to get dressed and then I'll be ready."
He walked over to her. Hesitantly he patted her shoulder, but after noticing how shy he looked, he gave her a hug. Kagome's head was on the crook of his head, she closed her eyes and listened to his voice.
"Don't worry Kagome. We'll get him. You're not alone in this." He squeezed her gently, but then he realized just how little she was wearing. They both blushed and moved away from each otherHe stood up and left the room with a grunt. Thank you. Again.

Back in the other era.
"Dear lady, would you do me the honor of bearing my children?"
smack (boomerang to the head)
"Dammit Miroku, can't you even behave for one day!" Sango stood there holding her hiraiktsu(sp?), "What example are you gonna give Shippo? You lecherous monk!"
A bubble formed at the top of Miroku's head, "Well my dear Sango, he will have to learn these things eventually. What harm could it possibly cause him if he learned them now?"
smack
"Oww Sango. That hurts."
"Yeah, this is nothing compared to what I'll do if I see Shippo acting like you!"
A silence followed...
"But you can't deny you like me and my charismatic ways..."
"You lecher, you know that I would never..."
"That's not what you said before..."
She blushed. He stood in front of her."Yeah but hta was when you promised you would stop asking women to bear your children." She looked away and started walking towards the stream."Yes, probably a princess from a nearby village." She lowered her voice, "One who doesn't hurt you twenty times a day..."
She felt an arm envelop her from behind. "Why must you do this? You know that you're the only one. The others could never compete with you." He kissed her neck lightly. She stared forward. "Have you really changed since we came back, Miroku? It's only been a few days."
"No. I've always loved you. Ever since you threw the first punch." Her eyes widened a bit, then she turned around and smiled. "Well then, the real problem is when we're gonna tell the others. I think Kagome knows something, but I'm sure Inuyasha doesn't have a clue."
The monk smiled and bent down to kiss her. Little did they know that a red-haired kit watched them from far off with a tiny demon kitty. "They're right Kirara, Inuyasha probably wouldn't believe it until they had grankids."
"Meow."
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Later that day the whole gang met up at Kaede's hut. All of then looking nervously at each other, all of them were hiding something.
"So Inuyasha, how was the future, we hadn't realized you had both gone back for a day."
"Fine."
"Ahhh, chatty as always." Miroku hung his head, "So lady Kagome, did YOU enjoy your stay?"
"It was okay. It was fine."She looked around the hut. "By the way, where is Buyo?" Shippo looked up sheepishly, "um. well. you see..."
Inuyasha took him by the tail. "Spit it out Shippo! What did you do to that stupid cat?"
"Um, well. Kagome please don't be mad. We were playing a game and a demon came by and thought he was lost. We couldn't do anything! The demon took him and flew off. It looked a lot like the one that Sesshomaru uses to take Rin around."
Kagome looked up sadly. "Don't worry Shippo, nothing could have been done. We'll find him eventually. Maybe Sesshomaru does have him right now!"
Inuyasha shook his head.
"Do you really think that my brother would accept a cat?"
He pointed at his ears. "I think not."
