-1Chapter 9: Bath & Food Time

Inuyasha slowly open his eye's. Looking out the window he could see the sun just coming over the horizon. Then looking down looking into Kagome's face. Hmm. She turned herself around during the night. A smile found it's way to his face. She is so beautiful. Far more than Kikyo. It still amazes me to this day how I got the two of them confused. They are so different. Inuyasha could tell that Kagome was slowly waking up.

"Oi, wench you awake?" Inuyasha tried to hide the smile but failed.

:yawn: "Sadly.. Yes." Kagome opened her eyes and stretched her still sleeping body. Slowly waking it up.

"Sleep well?"

"Yup, Hey Inuyasha, think I can get a bath today? I'm sure I smell horrible!" Kagome made a sour face to prove her point. Inuyasha slowly moved his nose to her neck and took a long sniff.

"I think you smell just fine."

"Then how about for peace of mine."

"Keh"

-----

"So Kagome, How are we going to do this?" Inuyasha was holding Kagome bridle style in the door way of the bathroom.

"Easy, just set me down in the tub and I can go from there." It will be easy, just undress in the tub, fill it with water, then drain it, dry off, get dressed, then have Inuyasha help me out. Inuyasha started for the tub.

"WAIT!"

"Oi, wench not so loud! What is it!" Inuyasha flattened his ear's from the sudden out burst. Does she know how loud the yelp's and sudden yell's are!

"Inuyasha, I need you to take me back into my room so that I can get some clothes to change into. Oh and I will need some towel's. Please Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha "Kehed" as he took Kagome to her room and held her waist while she stood and dug through the drawer's. Finally Kagome found a nice fuzzy, dark blue baggy pants, and a spaghetti strap shirt. Next Inuyasha carried Kagome to the closet so that she could get the towels that she wanted. An then walked to the bathroom.

"Ok Inuyasha, just set me down in the tub. I can get it from there. Then I will let you know when I'm done. Ok?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha lowered her into the tub and nodded.

"..As soon as your done with this bath.. you are going to eat understand?" Inuyasha stared at her, daring her to argue.

"Ok."

"I will be outside the door."

Kagome slowly pulled her t-shirt over her head and held in a hiss of pain as her hand brushed against her chest. Throwing the shirt away, Kagome then went to remove her bra.

"Inuyasha.."

"What?"

"..Why am I not wearing my bra?"

:blush: "Kaede took it off when she bandaged you, and we left it off.."

"Ok.."

.. as long as it was Kaede... Hehe, listen to me, I almost die and I'm worried who took off my bra.. ok finish taking off the skirt.. then the bandage's.

Slowly Kagome took off the bandages and looked at her wound. She had two cut's on her back that went from her shoulder to her. Also she had a deep gash on her hip. It was on the right side going from the hip all the way to the bottom of the knee cap. Once Kagome removed the bandages she turned on the warm water. Slowly the warm water rose to her hip.

OMG! The water stings! Turn it off.. turn it off...

Kagome reached over and turned the water off.

:sigh: So much for a bath.. the water stings to much and I do not even want to think what soap would do...

"You ok in there wench?" A voice came through the door.

"Ya, I just can't really take a bath, the water stings to bad.. so I'm just going to kinda... run some water over places that are not ..." Kagome trailed off as she watched the cut's began to bleed again. Slowly she reached over and let the water drain out of the tub. The once clean water had a red tint to it from the blood.

"Kagome.. are... how bad?"

".. bad..."

Inuyasha sighed Fuck, Her major wounds are not healing, the small one's healed fine, it's those three wounds on her upper body... from the wind scar.. FUCK! a low whine escaped Inuyasha's throat.

"Inuyasha, can you help me?" Kagome asked as she held the towel over her chest. Inuyasha open the door and walked over to the tub. On the light pink towel, Inuyasha could see the blood staining through it. Inuyasha winched.

"Let me go get the first aid kit." Inuyasha returned shortly with the first aid kit and kneeled down next to the tub.

"Inuyasha.. Help me out of the tub and then you can fix me up on the floor. It will be easier." Inuyasha nodded and took one of the extra towels and laid it on the floor. Next he gently lifted Kagome out of the tub and laid her belly down her on the towel. Inuyasha opened the kit and removed everything he needed.

"OK, let me know if it hurts to bad ok?.."

"OK"..

Kagome thought she was ready for anything Inuyasha put on her wound's. She was defiantly not ready for the wet tongue she felt on her back.

"Inu.. Inuyasha?" Kagome turned her head as much as she could so she could see Inuyasha.

"I am cleaning the wound's. Some demon's saliva can heal, It just so happens that that is what mine does. You, you don't mind do you?" Inuyasha lifted his head to look at Kagome.

"No, no, I was just shocked. Thanks." Kagome turned her head back around and laid it on the towel, then closed her eye's. Inuyasha slowly worked his way from the top of one wound to the other. Placing a hand on each side of the young girl below him for balance. As soon as he was done, she grabbed some anti-infection and applied some to Kagome's back then placed gauze pads on the wounds to hold cover the wounds till he could wrap her fully.

"Um, Kagome, I am done with the back, I.. um, need to wrap them and then do the front." Inuyasha's face was bright red, which happened to match Kagome.

"Oh, ok. Help me turn over please." Inuyasha helped Kagome sit up. Inuyasha then dug through the first aid kit for the bandage's. Finding them at the very bottom, Inuyasha the wrapped Kagome's upper body. Frequently reminding himself not to stare to long. Once finished Inuyasha helped Kagome to lay down on her back. As soon as Kagome's back came in contact with the bathroom floor she hissed in pain. When Inuyasha looked at Kagome she gave him a encouraging smile and a nod. Inuyasha then went to work on the wound on her hip. Slowly he worked his way from the top of the wound to the bottom. Wishing that he could just move his head a little to the left.

I wonder what she taste's like… I can't wait till the day that I can have a taste. I will start out slowly.. Maybe make her beg. Then I will unleash my tongue on her. Maybe she will return the favor. Hmm…. FUCK! Inuyasha cursed himself for one having those thought's now and two for turning himself on. He quickly finished his work and wrapped her leg.

"Finished." While Inuyasha finished up with Kagome's leg he had managed to get himself under control.

"Thanks again, one more request."

"I doubt that." Inuyasha said while her crossed his arm's.

"Hehe, true, um.. Can you hand me my cloth, and help me with my shirt?" Kagome was again sporting a blush."

"Oh, ya." Inuyasha stood up and grabbed Kagome's cloth's and set them next to her.. Then Kagome handed him her shirt and she slowly lifted one arm then the other as Inuyasha eased both arms into the right spot. Then she pulled the shirt very carefully over her head and chest.

"Thanks, I can get the pant's." Kagome then grabbed the pants and slowly pulled them up.

"No undergarment's?" Inuyasha asked as he looked down on Kagome's head and raised a eyebrow.

Kagome smiled, "nope, makes it easier. Now help me up please." Inuyasha reach down and scooped Kagome once again into his arm's.

"Now you will eat understand?" Inuyasha gave Kagome the Don't-Argue-With-Me' look.

"Ok."

Inuyasha began the walked down the stair's and into the kitchen. Setting Kagome in the chair Inuyasha walked around the table and sat across from her.

"Oi, Kagome, what do you want to eat?"

"Inuyasha, I'm not really hungry." :Holding up her hand to silence him as he opened his mouth: she continued. "But I know I need to eat, so... well.. What do you want? I know your hungry. :giggle: you always are." Kagome slowly tilted her head to the side and stared across the table at Inuyasha.

"Ramen? You know that is really all I eat here, Unless your mom cook's." Inuyasha turned his head and looked at the window and shoved his arm's into his sleeve's. Kagome noticed the slight pink in Inuyasha's cheek's.

"Alright then, I have a idea."

Inuyasha's ear's perked up. "What..."

"You will cook and I will talk you through it ok?"

Inuyasha's stared at Kagome. :What is she up to... Cook, me... here... with this stuff! Hmmm... maybe..:

"Alright wench you win. But when it taste's like shit it is you fucking fault got it?"

"Alright! Ok, can you go to the fridge?" Kagome asked as she pointed to it just incase Inuyasha did not know where or what it was. Inuyasha got up and walked over to it.

"Now what?"

"Open the bottom door. Now look down and then open the bottom drawer." Kagome herd the drawer open. "Ok now get me out the lettuce, tomato's, cucumber's, umm... any other veggie's in there?"

"umm...carrot's, pepper's.. and that's all I see."

"Carrot's please."

Inuyasha took everything out and set it on the table.

"Oi, wench, are we just going to eat these green's? You also need meat."

Kagome laughed. "Yes Inuyasha, we are going to have meat to, but I want a little bit of salad to go with my meat. Would you like some to?"

Inuyasha made a face and shook his head 'No.'

"Alright then, I think there is some Chicken in the freezer. It is the thing.." Suddenly Inuyasha spun around and yelled.

"Oi, I know where the stuff is Kagome, I have been here a lot over the past 3 year's! Damn wench.. I'm not stupid..."

"I KNOW THAT!.. sorry.. I just.. forget you know. sorry." Kagome bower her head in defeat and moved her hand's to her lap. Inuyasha quickly was by her side. He kneeled by her side and wrapped her in a hug.

"Kagome, you ok?.." Inuyasha nuzzled her neck. :She's upset. Why?...Kagome:

"I keep forgetting that it has only been three year's. It seems like forever. The Best Forever. Inuyasha I'm sorry. You know, about Kikyo, the jewel,.." Inuyasha quickly kisses Kagome to shut her up but it turned into something more. Inuyasha was lost in the passion. He could feel her heart beating faster. Like it was trying to break free, along with his. It still amazed him how soft her lips where and how good she tasted. He wanted more. Nibbling on her bottom lip he herd Kagome gasp and took the opportunity to explore the inside of her mouth. Squeezing his arms around her, suddenly he herd her yelp in pain.

"Fuck! Kagome I'm sorry, I forgot, I..." Kagome held up her finger to his lip's.

"Inuyasha, it's ok, thank you." Kagome leaned her head on Inuyasha's shoulder and relaxed. Inuyasha sighed.

"You know you are very conferrable." Kagome blushed, then she herd Inuyasha laugh, a true laugh and then she smiled.

"Well I think that is a good thing. So ready for me to make this food." Inuyasha released Kagome and strolled over to the freezer. He then opened the door and stuck his head and right arm inside.

"Oi, Wench, this thing is packed with food. How do I know what the chicken is?" Inuyasha kept his head in the freezer looking around.

"It is usually red and blue bag. It say's chicken on it." Kagome propped her head on her hand and played with a piece of lettuce. Kagoem herd something hit the wall. Looking up she saw Inuyasha tossing thing's out left and right.

"Inuyasha, you know you we have to pick al this up." Kagome pushed the chair out and was getting ready to stand up when Inuyasha riped his head out of the freezer and stared at her.

"What the HELL do you think you are doing!"

"I was going to pick up the stuff you are throwing out." Kagome again was about to stand till she Saw the look Inuyasha was sending her. It read "Stand and even a Sit will not stop me."

"I will fucking do it, Kami just sit there."

A few minutes later and a empty freezer Inuyasha pulled out the bag of chicken. "A-ha" Inuyasha set it on the table and then started to pick all the things her through out of the freezer back in. While Kagome opened the bag.

"Great, ok now get me the light blue glass pan that my mom always uses for steak, please."

".. And where the hell will I find that?" Inuyasha asked as he looked around.

Kagome giggled :Inuyasha, you said you knew were everything was... silly little dog-boy: "In the drawer under the stove, it should be on top."

Inuyasha slowly opened the drawer and peeked inside. It dish that Kagome requested was on top, but when Inuyasha went to grab it out it got caught on a pot. Inuyasha being the patient hanyou that he is, ripped it out but also let go of it in the process, right at Kagome. Before Kagome could register that the glass pan was coming at her, Inuyasha dashed out and in a red blur caught the pan but also toppled into Kagome. Quickly Kagome grabbed what she thought was the table (which turned out to be the table cloth) and tried to stop them from falling, but seeing as table cloth's have a little less then super human strength. All the nice chopped up veggie's, and anything else that happened to be on the table toppled on the floor with the poor girl and hanyou. When Kagome landed, in was seemed like slow motion, she was a little surprised to find Inuyasha under her, and the pan unbroken.

"umm..." Inuyasha shuddered :anime sweat drop:She is soooo going to sit me for this, Shit, there is stuff everywhere! Great her face has that red tint to it before she yell's! ... a very cute tint... but still one of anger:

The poor hanyou waited for the explosion to come. Suddenly Kagome busted up laughing. Inuyasha took a double take.

"Umm... Kagome... are you ok?" Inuyasha asked :I wonder is she is possessed again. :sniff sniff: nope... just one very amused Kagome..:

Slowly Kagome got her breathing under control. "Well, Inuyasha, that was a little unexpected, don't you think?"

"..Your not mad!" Poor Inuyasha was very confused.

"Hehe, no, but could you be a dear and help me up and into a chair, my side's and back are hurting."

Inuyasha set the glass pan on the floor, sat up and turned Kagome so she was now bridle style as he stood up and set her in the chair that he once occupied.

"Kagome.. the green's.."

"Oh just scoop them into a bowl and rinse them off in the sink. Want me to help?"

Inuyasha snorted. "No, YOU need to heal. You are not healed yet wench, plus," Inuyasha flattened his ear's to his head and became very interested in his feet, "It was my fault."

:Poor thing, look's like a wounded puppy. Ego boost time.: :giggle:

"Inuyasha, it is ok! Your to big, and strong to be in the kitchen! An hell, you "saved" me any way...What?"

Inuyasha slowly turned to Kagome with his mouth hanging open.
"What!"

"You... you cursed!" Inuyasha had closed his mouth but now he was pointing.
" Hehe, your rubbing off on me Inuyasha."

"Feh..."

Inuyasha turned back around and finished rising out the green's.

".. ok what the hell do I do with the chicken?.. Are you sure this is chicken, It kinda smells like it."

Inuyasha picked up a chicken leg like it had the plague. Slowly he raised it to his nose and sniffed. Then he stuck his tongue and tasted it.

'"Oh Man! That is nasty!" Inuyasha made a face then throw the chicken into the pan.

"It is chicken trust me... well I think, anyway, now put as many of the pieces you want into the blue pan and one for me, then fill it half way with water then put it in the stove."

"Ok, so the whole bag." Inuyasha emptied the bag on the glass pan as Kagome tried not to laugh.

: He is going to eat 19 pieces of chicken. Thank Kami they are bone less.:

"Now all we have to do is wait 10 minutes. Hand me the green's please." Inuyasha took the bowl of greens out of the sink and handed them to Kagome. Kagome took the paper towels on the table and ripped about 10 off. She folded them and laid them on the table then turned the bowl over and drained the water out of the bowl.

"Ok the greens are done all we have to do is wait.. again." Kagome looked up the window to the Goshinboku.

:I should tell her, I should tell her that I have decided to kill Kikyo. Or maybe I should wait, wait, this is no time to tell her that, right now she just needs to heal an then when we get back to the feudal era.:

"Hey Inuyasha. Can I ask you a question?" Kagome kept gaze out the window.

"Well I am sure you are going to ask me anyway. Even if I tell you no…" Inuyasha stuck his arms into his sleeve's and leaned the chair back so that it was only on two leg's.

"What are your plans after the jewel?"

"SHIT!"

:BAM: Kagome swung her head around to see Inuyasha laying on his back, spread out on the floor.

"Inuyasha, you ok?" Kagome asked as she leaned as far as she could over the table to see Inuyasha.

"What do you mean?" :What is she getting at? Does she mean with the jewel? Or with, Us, Or what:

"I mean with your life?" Kagome's eyes suddenly got a far away look. "Are you going to wish on the jewel? Or just leave? Or what?" Kagome again turned to look at the Goshinboku.

"Will, I never thought that far into the future. Fuck, you know I live day to day." Inuyasha picked himself off the floor then the chair. Moving back to the place he was sitting till he fell. "What, what about you?"

"Well, I figured if I make it through this Naraku ordeal. I am going to stay in the feudal era. Basically do what we do now. Travel around and help people. Then when I get to old to travel, settle down in a village and become there miko. I think that I will purify the jewel too. Right after ward's." Kagome looked to the stove then back out the window.

"Why not come back here? I mean your family and friends are here. Here is your life!" Inuyasha balled his hands into fist's.

"I used to have friends here. Ever sense I went through the well, I drifted away from there. Their spare time is spent daydreaming about boy's or working on how they look, or even gossiping. My free time is spent resting, getting supplies, and trying to figure out the latest information we have gotten on Naraku. I grew up, they didn't. My family, I feel like a outsider looking in. I mean, don't get me wrong. They are still my family, and I still love them, but, I fell like I don't belong. And my life here, it was never easy. I always felt like a outsider, Like I was born in the wrong time. I think I was right." Kagome finished and then turned her eyes to Inuyasha. Inuyasha gasped. Before him sat a woman, who in just a few short years had grown from a new, young teenager, to a woman beyond her years.

'Kagome, I have never seen this side of you.."

"I hide it will. But, I am tired of hiding it. Do you think when we get back we can get me some miko robes. Maybe green instead of red?"

"Sure.. But.. :BEEP:"

"Chicken's done." Inuyasha got up and walked over to the stove, taking the towel next to the stove. Walking over to a cabinet next to the fridge he took out two plates. Then walked over to the chicken and placed some on each plate. Then handed one to Kagome and they started to eat.

-----

"Inuyasha this is really good." Kagome stated as she took a bit form her third piece of chicken.

"Feh, I can cook wench, I was just unsure about cooking in this time. Going to finish your salad?" Kagome shook her head 'No' and Inuyasha reached over the table and grabbed the half eaten salad. Quickly fishing it off.

"Thought you said you did not like green's."

"Oi, wench I said that I did not want any, not that I did not like them. Plus that white stuff you added makes it taste better. The chicken too."

"The ranch, Ya I love it with my Chicken. Used to be the only way my mom could make me eat it."

Kagome sighed as she looked at the last half of her third chicken breast. Pushing her plate half way across the table for Inuyasha to finish, then she took a sip of her water.

"How are you feeling?" Inuyasha asked as he picked up her plate and finished the chicken that she left behind.

"A lot better." Kagome was interrupted by a big yawn. "Excuse me.."

"Come on wench your tired. Time for bed."

"Wait, I need to use the rest room first." Inuyasha rolled his eye's and then picked Kagome up and walked up the stair's to the bathroom. After Kagome took care of business and brushed her teeth, Inuyasha laid her into bed. Kagome caught Inuyasha's hand after her set her down.

"Lay with me please?" Kagome turned her head up to watch Inuyasha's reaction.

"Alright, let me turn out the light's." Inuyasha quickly turned out the light's and then walked over and cracked the window open a bit, and dropped the blind's. Then he slid into bed next to Kagome. Taking no time at all to snake his arm's around her waist and pull her close.

"Thank you Inuyasha"

"For what?" Inuyasha asked as his eyebrow's knitted in confusion.

Kagome laughed "For just being you. Inuyasha :yawn: how long will we be staying here?"

Inuyasha smiled "As long as you would like my Kagome." He herd her breathing even out and her happy sigh. Inuyasha nuzzled Kagome's neck and sighed.

: How the hell did I get so lucky? She smell's so good. Kagome I wish that we could just forget about the past, all the hard time's to come. Just to stay like this forever. I promise you Kagome, I will may Kikyo pay for what she has done. Naraku too, But Kikyo will be first. Hell I will even do away with Koga and the Hobo guy too. That would be nice. Maybe put there head's on stick's that way everyone who passes by will be warned that you are mine Kagome. The one that I love.:

"I promise Kagome, they will all pay, but Kikyo will be first."
