Chapter Twenty: Controlled and Things
"Kagome, your mom tells me of many interesting things. InuYasha, I have always seen you as a young lad, but not perfect for my granddaughter. Kagome, why did you two get married? How did you get those bruises? Were they from InuYasha?" he asked.
"InuYasha is the most wonderful guy I have ever met. Even if you two don't see eye to eye doesn't mean I can't love him. Grandpa, I love InuYasha. We had to get married. Ginta is getting way too close for comfort and we needed to make sure my promise was kept," Kagome answered. Grandpa nodded and walked into the house, muttering to himself. "I think he is sick." InuYasha laughed and they raced to the guesthouse, laughing the whole way. When they got there, Kagome found the hide-a-key and unlocked the door. "Finally, I haven't been in here since a sleepover I had." InuYasha looked around.
"It's ok. It is nothing special. Kagome, you know we have to leave in the mourning. I'm sorry. I guess being here in your time makes me feel like I need to remember." Kagome blinked several times and shrugged. She walked into the kitchen. She pulled out a pot and put water in it. "What are you doing?"
"Cooking. I haven't had any food since our lunch with Sango and Miroku. I'll make your favorite, ramen. The water just has to boil." InuYasha nodded and explored the rooms. "The guesthouse was used to home those came here to send prayers to their loved ones. Since my grandfather no longer does that, it has become a sleepover mansion. My mom couldn't bear to sell it after my dad went and had it fixed up for sleepovers. There are about five rooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, a living room, and a room with just a table." InuYasha nodded and looked around.
"Why are there double beds each room?" Kagome shrugged and continued on making the ramen. Soon, it was finished and the smell attracted InuYasha back to the kitchen.
"I wish we could live here. It would be nice. With us right next to the well, we could go there during the day and stay the night here. Who knows? Maybe our children will go to school here. They won't ever have to know the pain we went through in the past. I won't want them to know Ginta, but if how that's the way it will be then it is how things will be." InuYasha nodded, eyeing the ramen. Kagome laughed and dished most of it out in a bowl for InuYasha. He gulped down fast and watch Kagome pick at her food.
"What's wrong now?" Kagome looked up at him and smiled. "No faking. Tell me. You can tell me anything you know." Kagome just nodded. "Kagome."
"I'm not hungry. Normally, I am. I guess I just lost my appetite." InuYasha shrugged and ate the ramen that Kagome barely touched.
"Kagome, you don't normally lose your appetite like that. What is up?" Kagome shrugged. InuYasha gave her a smug look.
"I really don't know. InuYasha, I really don't know." InuYasha got up. Kagome took the dishes to the sink and walked back the hall. InuYasha followed her. She walked into a room that was very unlike the others. It had only a single bed. "My parents kept this room for when sleepovers took place and someone got scared." InuYasha nodded as Kagome sat down on the bed. He went over and sat next to her. "Nerves kill you when they get the chance." InuYasha shrugged and placed his hands on her shoulder. Kagome shivered. InuYasha felt heat from Kagome's skin.
"Kagome, we don't have to do anything right now. I'm in no rush." Kagome shook her head.
"I have to or else. Ginta told me I had to be ready by the time I got back. InuYasha, if we have a child, we have to lie. Your made-up now dead cousin is going to be my father and full demon, but I turned out full human. Ok?" InuYasha nodded. "I wish I wasn't in a rush, but Ginta forces me to. I'm only twenty. I still have a life to live and everything. I shouldn't have to be with anyone like Ginta. No offense, but I rather not have to be forced to do something I'm not ready to do." Kagome began to take heavy long breaths.
"Kagome, no offense taken. I'm not rushing you. We have two days left." Kagome looked at InuYasha. Her eyes appeared to be about to tear. "Kagome, don't cry." Kagome got close to InuYasha. He placed his arms around her.
"InuYasha, tonight is supposed be really magical. Can you make it that way?" InuYasha looked at her.
"Did you just hit your head?" Kagome laughed and shook her head. The life gleamed in her eyes. "What just happened?"
"Who knows?" Kagome looked into InuYasha's eyes. "I have to tell you something." InuYasha's eyes widen in shock. Kagome laughed again and shook her head. "It isn't bad. I want to say that I rather have my first time shared with you than anyone else." InuYasha began to back away. Kagome's smile faltered. "Isn't this what you wanted? A night with me in a house that just might feel like home here? Tell me, InuYasha! Tell me what I want to know!" Kagome's smiled turned devilish as she came closer to InuYasha. InuYasha saw that she was not herself and saw the fire burning in her eyes. Thinking quickly, InuYasha shoved Kagome back and she landed on the ground with a thud. "Ouch! What is with the rudeness, asshole? That hurt!" Kagome sat up and looked around. "How did I get here? This better be some weird dream that continues into another weird dream. First, I dream of fighting with my mother over that pretty emerald ring and getting married. The last thing I remember is Ginta shoving me off my bed." Kagome stood up and glanced at InuYasha. She went over to him and hugged him.
"Kagome. What was that all about?" Kagome looked up at InuYasha and placed her hand on her neck. She pulled off a scroll with the words for control and dreams. She looked at it and then, up at InuYasha.
"I'm sorry. I guess it wasn't truly a dream. I loved it when we got married, but that I know it is real, I feel safe and relaxed. I think I did hit my head." InuYasha chuckled and took the paper scroll from her hand, looking into Kagome's eyes. He crumpled it to dust and let it float to the floor. Kagome smiled. "I'm sorry. I called Ginta an asshole and told him I was leaving. He must have known something was up and wanted you to suffer. So, the purpose of shoving me off the bed was to slip the scroll on my neck. I went to sleep at that point and thought I was dreaming the whole time. I felt bad for making you feel hurt when I didn't tell you anything. The ramen thing? I really felt that there was someone waiting for me. I pretended to not eat and told a lie. It looks like it really happened." InuYasha smiled and wrapped his arms around Kagome. She looked up at him and hugged him tighter. She got closer to him. "InuYasha? You know that whole thing where I said I'm glad that I lose something to you? I wasn't lying. I'm glad I'm with you." InuYasha's grin grew.
"I'm glad I'm with you. Kagome, I'm sorry for shoving you off the bed, but you were starting to act strange. Now, both you and I know that Ginta knows what is going on." Kagome nodded.
"It could mean your life is now in danger." InuYasha shook his head.
"I could escape. Then, I could return at night, but only if there isn't a new moon. I would be able to be killed faster then." Kagome's tears flowed down her face. "Kagome, stop crying. I thought you hated crying so much. It's not your fault or anything." Kagome buried her face in InuYasha's beater as his smile faltered to a frown. She stopped crying.
"It is my fault. I planned everything and you just followed through with them. If I hadn't realized that Ginta knows by now, we could be safe and sound." InuYasha started run his fingers through Kagome's hair. "I made a mistake. I took him for a fool. I thought he was just some stupid demon. This proves that I was wrong about everything. This almost makes me wish that I had told him to kill me. I would have swallowed the jewel. Only that would leave you all alone, I couldn't bear that." Kagome sniffled. InuYasha sighed.
"If you were in a better place, I would try not to mourn as much and be all down. I would be really sad and broken hearted. I would probably wonder when your reincarnation would show up, wishing that you pinned me to the tree while I awaited for your return. Maybe I would die waiting," InuYasha joked, trying to make Kagome laugh. Kagome smiled and giggled. InuYasha lifted her head away from his beater. "I bet your reincarnation would be totally different and stuck-up." Kagome started to laugh, moving her arms to her sides to hold herself up right. InuYasha just smiled. He chuckled as Kagome attempted to stop laughing. When she finally succeeded, she looked at InuYasha with a big smile on her face.
"You know how to make me laugh. It reminds me how much I love you," Kagome whispered as she reached up to pet his ears. They twitched as InuYasha shivered.
"How many times do I have to tell you? That tickles!" Kagome just smiled and continued to pet his ears until InuYasha slapped her hand away. "That tickles. Stop that, witch."
"I think it is funny, Dog Boy," Kagome pouted. InuYasha gave her a look. "I do." She began to do that again until he slapped her hand away, only allowing his hand to attach to her wrist.
"Now, now, playtime with the ears is over," InuYasha whispered, nuzzling her neck. Kagome chuckled and kissed InuYasha. He smiled, allowing his other hand to rest on the arch of her back. "The real fun has just begun." Kagome smiled, knowing what he meant. Her promise's wishes coming to life now. InuYasha slid Kagome's tank top off. Kagome blushed slightly when he attempted to remove her bra and flung it onto the floor. He kissed her bare flesh, feeling it burn at his touch. Kagome removed his beater and looked at the detail of his abs that she had seen so often in the past. With another clothes throwing contest, both were naked. Kagome blushed deeply and looked away. InuYasha made her look at his eyes. Soon, after hours of kissing and sex, they collapsed on the bed and fell asleep in each other's arms. Meanwhile, Ginta was having a rampage over this little trick that took place under his nose.
