Chapter 23-Rain

The morning was drowsy, and there was rain, thunder and lightning going all through the house. Sango was the first up since she went to bed the earliest, and instead of waking up to a nice sunny day, she was greeted with a storm.

"Crud." Sango said sitting up, to be met with a headache. Hangover! She and Miroku had gone back to that club they had went to the day before, and got trashed. Sango had had about 40 shots and who knows how many martinis. Miroku hadn't had as many drinks, and thank goodness or they wouldn't have gotten back to the house. "Miroku?" Sango asked turning around while holding her head with her hands.

"Sango what's wrong?" Miroku asked sitting up rubbing his bare chest and then standing and finally seeing Sango holding her head in pain. "Sango sit down I'll get you some coffee and a Tylenol." Miroku said leading Sango back to the couch so she was laying down again. "I'll be right back." Miroku said putting on a jacket and grabbing the key to the house and going out the door closing it and closing it behind him.

While he was gone Sango had drifted back to sleep to the sound of the thunder and rain. When he came back he awoke Sango and let her take some medicine and then she drank the coffee only to soon fall back asleep in Miroku's lap. Miroku sat there listening to Sango's breathing and the rain.

------------------------ --------------------------- ------------------------------------------

Inuyasha woke up first, before Kagome, and didn't move really. He lay there stroking Kagome's face softly. Then he noticed the rain and thunder. 'Finally a break from running around.' Inuyasha thought looking back a Kagome to see her eyes open.

"Morning Inuyasha." she said smiling softly and closing her eyes and sighing. "Is it raining?" she asked.

"Yeah, seems to be coming down pretty hard." Inuyasha said looking out the window and back at Kagome. "Ready to get up?" he asked running his fingers along Kagome's sides, his nails tickling her.

"Yeah." Kagome said as Inuyasha got off the bed. Kagome just laid there a while before she got up to. When she stood up, pulling the gown down a little, Inuyasha was already dressed. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt that said 'Save the whales!' in blue on the front. And some dark blue khaki shorts that went a little below his knees. "You look good." Kagome said smiling and smoothing down her hair a little.

"You look hot." Inuyasha said eyeing her little gown again making her blush.

"Thanks." Kagome said smiling and walking over to the bathroom. She came out wearing a pink T-shirt that said 'I'm the real powder puff.' in weird bubble letters, and some green lose swim trunks. "Hunger grips the soul!" Kagome said holding her stomach as it growled.

"Then lets eat." Inuyasha said glancing out the window at the rain one more time before following Kagome down stairs. They soon came upon the living room to the Miroku sitting up asleep with Sango in his lap.

"Shush." Kagome said holding a finger over her mouth as the tip toed over to the kitchen. She grabbed a green apple from the counter and ran to the back door, Inuyasha right behind her. Kagome slid opened the door let Inuyasha out and closed it. She then sat down one of the wet chairs and sat back. Inuyasha stood awhile before basically pulling Kagome up, throwing her into his arms and sitting down on the chair with her in his lap. Kagome leaned back against his chest and took the first bite of the apple.

There wasn't anyone on the beach, except them really. The rain fell onto them as they sat there together, wetting their cloths melting them into each other.

"Want a bite?" Kagome asked situating herself so she was looking at Inuyasha who nodded and took a bite out of the apple as it rested in Kagome's hand. "I love the rain." Kagome said holding out her hand and letting rain fall into her palm. "You know when my Dad and Grandpa were alive, they used to take me up to this place in the mountains and we'd just sit there waiting for it to rain. And when it did my Grandpa would tell me how each rain drop held something special. And when we came in contact with that special something it stayed with us, helping us." Kagome said smiling, but it faded. "I wish I could believe that was true." Kagome said smiling slightly.

"Kagome." Inuyasha whispered. To be honest he was at a loss at to what to say.

"And you know, for awhile when I was younger and Sota was small. I'd tell him the same thing." Kagome said smiling again and looking out at the ocean.

"Kagome, you ever wished of kissing in the rain?" Inuyasha asked cupping Kagome's face in his hands.

"Actually kissing in the rain, is something I've always wanted to do." Kagome said leaning closer to Inuyasha. Their lips barely touching, Inuyasha leaned up so his lips covered hers. Inuyasha rolled them over so Kagome was under him. They came together in a passionate kiss. Inuyasha's tongue ran along Kagome's lips, begging for entrance. Kagome opened her mouth a little letting Inuyasha's tongue in. He ran his tongue over Kagome's, making her moan into the kiss. Kagome snaked her arms around Inuyasha's neck imbedding her fingers into his hair holding him there tightly. Inuyasha pulled his tongue from Kagome's mouth, and moved his head down, kissing Kagome's neck. Then he went up a little he began sucking on Kagome's ear lobe, he began to nibble a bit making Kagome giggling into Inuyasha chest.

"Kagome." Inuyasha moaned when he felt Kagome rubbing his ears with one hand and running her hands along his chest with the other. Inuyasha slowly moved his head so it rested on Kagome's chest. "Kagome, do you love me?" Inuyasha asked looking up at Kagome.

"Of course." Kagome said looking at Inuyasha leaning forward kissing him softly.

"I love you to. You want to rent a scary movie?" Inuyasha asked not moving from his spot.

"Sure…me and Sango will probably be scared the rest of the day, but it'll be fun I'm sure." Kagome said pushing Inuyasha up off her so they were sitting. Then Inuyasha pulled her up so they were standing. They walked back into the house soaking wet. Only to see Miroku and Sango just how they left them.

"Good morning!" Inuyasha yelled making the other 3 in the room jump.

"God Inuyasha! You scared me!" Sango said sitting up, feeling better.

"Yeah!" Miroku said standing up. "So why the rude awakening?"

"Me and Kagome have a brilliant idea. Rent a few scary movies. To fit this very gloomy day." Inuyasha said crossing his arms and smiling.

"Sounds fun enough." Miroku said smiling and pulling Sango up so she was standing.

"Nice pj's Sango." Kagome said giggling. Sango was wearing just a big long T-shirt that said sleepy on it.

"Shut up Kagome!" Sango said laughing. She quickly threw on a jacket and some shoes and was ready.

"Lets go rent some movies." Kagome said smiling and flipping her wet hair out of her face. All four went to the door and filed out. Miroku locked the door as the group walked out to the Hummer. Inuyasha and Miroku took the front and Kagome and Sango were in the back. And just to make the boys mad, Kagome and Sango started concocting a plan. Sango reached into her little back and took out her iPod hook up that could play the music on your iPod on the radio. Sango sneakily hooked it up on the radio in the back, and took control.

Kagome flipped through her iPod songs and finally chose Breath by Anna Nalick (I love that song. You should defiantly listen to it to relax.) The song started playing and Inuyasha almost swerved off the road.

"What the hell? Shut that off!" Inuyasha yelled just as the choir started and Kagome and Sango started singing, trying to be silly.

"Hey and Breath, just breath…" even though they were trying to be annoying and silly they sounded petty good so Inuyasha started driving again until they came to the Blockbuster. They all got out of the car, Sango and Kagome still giggling.

"We each get to pick a movie." Inuyasha said as he walked over to the horror films, Miroku fallowing sleepily behind. Inuyasha right away picked out Exorcist the Beginning. Miroku just stood there yawning and looking lazily around.

Kagome and Sango were wandering around the store, catching glances from almost all the beach boys that were in there, most renting video games.

"Talk about game freaks." Sango said laughing.

"We're game freaks." Kagome said confused.

"Yeah I know. That's why I get to call them that. Because I am one, so I have a right! It comes with the contract." Sango said smiling.

"Whatever." Kagome said as they finally made their way over to the scary movies to see Inuyasha punching Miroku a little ways away. Miroku was in the porno section. "EW! Miroku your sick!" Kagome said covering her eyes and looking back at the scary movies. "Sango aren't you going to do something?" Kagome asked.

"No, I watch some of his stuff sometimes. I can't get made at him. At least he's honest." Sango said picking out The Ring 2.

"To much information." Kagome said laughing. She was still trying to decide when Inuyasha walked up and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I can't decide." she said as the hand moved down to her back. Kagome arched her eyebrows and turned around to see Inuyasha standing there with a big grin on his face. "What?"

"Nothing, you just look so cute when your confused." Inuyasha said leaning down and kissing her neck softly, keeping his hand on the her back holding her there.

"I need to pick out a movie." Kagome said blushing and trying to push Inuyasha away, not trying very hard.

"Hurry up then." Inuyasha said backing up and going over to the candy section. Getting some strawberry Pocky, some cough drop like thing that tasted like plum, and some American gummy bears.

Kagome finally decided on The Fog-the old one. Now Miroku was the only one who hadn't picked and so Inuyasha ended up picking Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Sango had finally managed to drag Miroku away from the porn by letting him grope her a few times.

Inuyasha paid for the movies that needed to be returned by the end of the week and the group went back to the hummer.

Kagome looked through her list of song and found the perfect one. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen (I love that song!) Sango right away started singing along. Kagome just say there listening to the words.

"Is this the real life - Is this just fantasy - Caught in a landslide - No escape from reality - Open your eyes Look up to the skies and see - I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy - Because I'm easy come, easy go, A little high, little low, Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, - to me -, Mama, just killed a men, Put a gun against his head, Pulled my trigger, now he's dead, Mama, life had just begun, but now I've gone and thrown it all away - Mama, ooo, Didn't mean to make you cry - If I'm not back again this time tomorrow - Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters - Too late, my time has come, Sends shivers down my spine - Body's aching all the time, Goodbye everybody - I've got to go - Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth - Mama, ooo - I don't want to die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all - I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the Fandango - Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me - Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo, Gallileo Gallileo figaro - Magnifico - But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me - He's just a poor boy from a poor family - Spare him his life from this monstrosity - Easy come easy go -, will you let me go - Bismillah! No -, we will not let you go - let him go - Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go Will not let you go - let him go Will not let you go - let him go No, no, no, no, no, no, no - Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go - Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me - for me - So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye - So you think you can love me and leave me to die - Oh Baby - Can't do this to me baby - Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here - Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, Nothing really matters -, nothing really matters to me, Anyway the wind blows…"

By the time the song ended they were back at the house. The four exited the car and went into the house. Miroku closed the blinds to the back door and every other one and went and plopped on the couch. Inuyasha stood there after everyone was situated. With popcorn, drinks and candy.

"Ladies and gentlemen. What movie shall we watch first?" Inuyasha asked holding up the four movies.

"I think we should watch from least scariest to most." Sango said Miroku and Kagome nodding in agreement.

"Then The Fog?" Inuyasha asked holding it up. Everyone nodded and Inuyasha popped it into the DVD player. After he to sat on the couch next to Kagome. The seating arrangement was Inuyasha, Kagome, a big gap, Sango and then Miroku. Inuyasha started the movie and it turned out to make everyone laugh instead of scream.

The movie ended with the four friends laughing.

"That movie should have been in the comedy section." Miroku said holding his stomach from laughing.

"It wasn't that it wasn't scary. It's just an old movie." Sango said leaning back on the couch.

"Well what do you guys want to watch next?" Inuyasha asked getting up, leaving Kagome alone under the blanket they were sharing.

"I'll go with The Ring 2." Miroku said crossing his arms and smiling at Sango who nodded.

Kagome nodded and then got up from the couch and went into the kitchen. She came back with a mouth full of peanut butter. She got back under the blanket, but this time not leaving any room for Inuyasha.

Inuyasha put in Ring 2 and sat back on the couch. Miroku was in charge of the movie starting this time.

"Hey I want some blanket too." Inuyasha said tugging at the blanket.

"No! I'm cold." Kagome said tugging it back.

"Keh, you should have said something." Inuyasha said his statement talking Kagome off guard, so Inuyasha tugged the blanket away from one of Kagome's sides, pulled her close and sealed the blanket closed around the two of them. Inuyasha wrapped both arms around Kagome and nuzzled his nose against her neck sending shivers down her spine.

By the time the lovers had settled down the movie started, and Sango was the first one scared when Samara came out of the TV in the guys house. Sango was right away holding onto Miroku's arms not wanting to look at the screen.

"Sango it's not that scary." Kagome said rolling her eyes and watching the movie.

Kagome was resting her head on Inuyasha's chest through most of the movie, her still wet hair leaving a damp stop on Inuyasha's shirt. Inuyasha's arm rested on her waist, his hand on her stomach.

The movie soon came to an end and the four didn't exchange any words.

Inuyasha got up and put in The Texas chainsaw Massacre. The movie started and all through the movie Sang and Kagome were screaming. Especially when that one guy got his leg cut off.

"Oh holy mother of god!" Miroku yelled, he was just as scared as the girls. When the movie ended Kagome was under the blanket, Sango had her face in Miroku's shirt, and Miroku was clutching the couch armrest.

"That was awesome!" Inuyasha said laughing and pulling Kagome closer to him, she was still under the blanket.

"I'm not sure if I want to watch the last movie." Kagome said he voice muffled.

"Aw come on it wasn't even scary." Inuyasha said rolling his eyes and standing up.

"Can we eat some lunch before this one? I'm starving." Miroku said getting up leaving the girl alone on the couch. Miroku went and opened up the fridge and got out a frozen pizza. (the house came with free food!) He unwrapped it and turned on the oven. Set the microwave timer to 12minutes and popped the pizza in the oven and walked back to the couch and sat down just as Inuyasha pushed play on the menu of Exorcist the Beginning. The movie started and Kagome immediately locked arms with Inuyasha.

Miroku's pizza soon came out the oven and he cut it into four big slices one for each person. Inuyasha paused the movie and the four ate the pizza and then continued watching the movie.

Just as the movie was about to end it shut off, the few light that were on turned off.

"What the hell? It was just getting good." Inuyasha said throwing the remote on the floor and sitting back.

"It's really dark." Sango said cuddling up to Miroku's arm glancing around the living room at all the darkness. The sky was black so it looked like night and so it was really dark. "It's a little creepy."

"Ooo we should play a game." Kagome said trying to lighten the mood. "Like spot light or something."

"That sounds fun." Inuyasha said standing up off the couch and walking over to the bathroom. He came out with a lighter, some candles and a flash light. He turned on the flash light and lit three candles. "Lets see who's afraid of the dark." Inuyasha said holding the flash light under his chin and talking in a really freaky voice.

"AAAHH! Don't do that." Sango yelled putting a pillow over her ears. And closing her eyes tight.

"What Sango…am I scaring you?" Inuyasha asked in the same scary voice.

"Inuyasha stop." Kagome said trying to hide her discomfort.

"Why Kagome….you scared?" Inuyasha asked with the same voice, moving closer to Kagome making her shrink back into the couch.

"Stop it Inuyasha." Kagome said getting up and taking the flash light from him and shutting it off. "Lets play." Kagome said from somewhere in the darkness. Sango screamed and buried her head in the couch pillows.

Inuyasha glanced around the room and tried to find Kagome, he could see in the dark unlike everyone else, he silently blew out the candles and walked over to the stairs.

"Not over there!" Kagome sang from somewhere.

"Kagome stop it!" Sango said looking up from the couch and tried to see through the dark to find Miroku but couldn't see. Suddenly lightning struck and the thunder hummed through the house. "AAAHH!"

"Sango it's ok." Miroku said from somewhere.

"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered. She came out from under the kitchen table her black hair was over her face and she was crawling on the floor real slow. "Inuyasha, 7 days." she whispered crawling over to the couch.

"AAAAHH! It's Samara! She's come to kill me." Sango yelled running off the couch and over to where Inuyasha was standing wide eyed.

"Sango, your dead." Kagome said twisting her neck a little, making a cracking sound with her mouth but making it seem like her neck.

"Oh holy shit! Miroku! Do something!" Sango yelled pushing Inuyasha down so he lay across the floor in front of Kagome.

"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered crawling over his body until she was sitting on top of him. "Kiss me." she said leaning down and saying it into his ear.

"Nope! I'm not kissing a dead girl." Inuyasha said rolling them over so he was on top and now you could see Kagome rosy cheeks and brown eyes.

"Not even me?" Kagome asked sadly.

"If you were dead, I'd be next." Inuyasha said suddenly getting serious.

"Wouldn't move on without me?" Kagome asked looking up sadly.

"Never." Inuyasha said leaning down and kissing Kagome's lips softly biting her bottom lip softly and edging his tongue into her mouth.

"Hello? There's a room right up stairs." Sango said walking into the other room Miroku right behind her.

"She's right." Kagome said easing Inuyasha off her and both standing up. They walked up stairs and into the room closing the door behind them.

Kagome sat down on the bed and sighed.

"Kagome." Inuyasha said sitting down next to her and grabbing her hand.

"Inuyasha I love you and want to be with you forever but I just don't know if I can wait till you know getting married to someone…to ya know." Kagome said looking down at the floor.

"Kagome I love you and if you're ready it's fine, but I know your not because your questioning it." Inuyasha said leaning over and kissing Kagome's neck and dragging his fangs along her soft skin.

"Thanks." Kagome said kissing Inuyasha's cheek. The power suddenly turned back on and the lights to the bed room went on. "We should probably go back down stairs." Kagome said smiling.

"I'm not. Miroku and Sango are probably displaying some good old fashion PDA. And I for one don't want to watch it. And it's still raining. We might as well take the movies back rent another one and watch it up here." Inuyasha said standing up and yawning. "Besides the day had been wasted away, nothing else to really do."

"Ok. Let's do that." Kagome said as they walked out of the room.

They ended up renting BatMan Begins and watching it for the remainder of the day. By nightfall the couple was fast asleep listening to the nice pitter patter of the rain on the window and the slow steady beating of each others loving hearts.
