Be My Savior – InuYasha Fanfic
Chapter 5: Breakfast and Badminton
Kagome awoke to the smell of eggs cooking. She was still in the clothes she wore the previous day.
'I must have fallen asleep yesterday after InuYasha left…' she thought to herself.
She sat up, and rose from her bed. Getting changed, Kagome looked at the piano. The mansion was sound proofed, so she figured, why not? She pulled the door to, so it was almost shut, and then took her seat at the piano. She began to play a beautiful tune (Piano version of 'Dearest') and the music relaxed her.
She was so immersed in the music, she didn't even notice InuYasha had opened the door, and was now standing in the door way.
He closed his eyes and took in the music.
"I never knew you could play so beautifully…" he said quietly, almost to himself.
Kagome turned around. She blushed at the sight of him standing there listening. InuYasha opened his eyes.
"You didn't have to stop."
"I didn't know you were there."
"Sorry if I frightened you."
Kagome shook her head as if to indicate he didn't, and then she remembered the time.
"Shoot! Did I wake you up?"
"Yes, and no…I was already up, but I was about to go back to bed. Then I heard the piano. I've never heard that tune before. Did you write it?"
"Yeah…" she replied, then thought to herself 'I wrote it for you years ago…'
"Well I think it sounds great. A lot better than what my old man could ever play! Speaking of…he's requested we play Badminton with him this morning."
"Why?"
"He wants to see how we work as a team."
"Doubles? But we haven't played doubles since back in high school! Who is he partnering with?"
"Kikyo…" InuYasha growled.
Kagome's face changed to determination.
"We can beat her!"
"Of course we can! But first…breakfast!"
"Ooh, I'm starving!" Kagome said touching her stomach.
"Of course you will be! You're eating for two, and you never ate dinner last night…"
Kagome smiled and left the bedroom without a word. Kikyo, who was going up the stairs toward the bathroom saw InuYasha and Kagome coming out of Kagome's room. Kagome still looked a mess, and InuYasha looked as if he had only just gotten up. She fumed on the inside and stormed away, grumbling.
InuYasha laughed, and led Kagome downstairs. When they got to the kitchen they found Toutousai was the source of the eggs.
"Ah, Master InuYasha, Miss Kagome, I have breakfast for you."
"Mm…it smells great Toutousai! I haven't eaten for hours!" Kagome said as she grabbed a plate with delight, and soon devoured the eggs almost savagely.
"I can make pancakes too?" Toutousai suggested.
Kagome nodded hungrily, and went back to mauling the food left on her plate.
"Pregnant women, eh?" InuYasha laughed, before Kagome eyed him dangerously.
"You gonna eat that?" she gestured at his eggs.
InuYasha pushed the eggs towards her and backed away slowly.
"I think I'll just have toast for breakfast…" he said, almost afraid for his life.
Then InuTaisho entered.
"I hope you have my breakfast ready, Toutousai?"
"Father, he's been feeding my pregnant woman." InuYasha said harshly, while waiting for the toast to pop.
"Fine. Make me something now Toutousai."
"Father! Kagome is still hungry!"
"I don't care. So am I."
"It's okay InuYasha, I'm done." Kagome said, as she stabbed the pancakes in front of her.
Toutousai fixed InuTaisho his breakfast, while InuTaisho examined Kagome carefully. He then looked at his son.
InuYasha finished up his toast, and then put his plates in the Dishwasher.
"You still hungry Kagome?" he asked with a smile. Kagome shook her head, even though he knew she was.
"I'll put you some toast on then, shall I?
"Umm…"
"Do you want a hot drink as well?"
"Just hot chocolate…Coffee might be bad for the baby…"
With that, InuYasha got to fixing the rest of Kagome's breakfast. InuTaisho smiled a little.
Soon after Kagome started on the toast InuYasha had made, and InuYasha had seated himself next to Kagome, Kikyo entered the room, and from then on breakfast had a silent air about it. Kagome finished quickly, so she and InuYasha could leave.
They quickly dressed for Badminton and headed downstairs. Just as they started out the door, Toutousai stopped InuYasha.
"Wait here a moment Master InuYasha…" he then hurried off upstairs, and came back a few moments later holding InuYasha's sword in his hands.
"The Tetsusaiga?" he questioned Toutousai's sanity. "Toutousai, we're playing badminton, not fencing…"
"I know this Master InuYasha…when the Tetsusaiga is held by ordinary people, it is but a rusty sword. But should someone wish to play for the honour of the one he loves, the Tetsusaiga becomes the ultimate badminton racket!" upon the last three words, Toutousai held the sword up powerfully, and a ray of light seemed to hit it.
InuYasha fell over, out of sheer embarrassment for the old man.
"You're kidding, right?" he asked flatly.
"This is no joke Master InuYasha! Try it for yourself! Free the Tetsusaiga from its scabbard!"
InuYasha shrugged, figuring 'What could it hurt to humor the old man', and gently unsheathed the rusted sword. Nothing happened.
He shot Toutousai a sidewards glance, and the old man touched the back of his head, embarrassed.
"You, of course, have to wait until someone insults the honour of the one you love, ehe eheheheh…"
At this opportunity, Kikyo stood from her chair.
"Alright then, let's test that theory. I'm going to wipe the floor with Kagome. Then, I'm going to steal her man, and then, I'm going to be the one carrying his child. I will be the only woman in his heart, and she and her little whelp will have no-one."
At that, the Tetsusaiga started glowing, and it morphed into a Platinum colored racket, with fur at the top of the handle.
"A little overboard on the drama, don't you think Kikyo?"
Kikyo scowled. "You should take me seriously InuYasha."
"I think you're seriously twisted. You just handed me the means to kick your sorry butt!"
Kikyo faltered. She looked behind her to see InuTaisho with his hands on his hips, shaking his head.
