Chapter threve (anyone who's seen Will Ferrels Saturday night live dvd's will get that, so unless you've seen it, don't ask)
(and I haven't slept in about twenty hours so cut me some slack)
Kagome growled in frustration as she folded another basket of clean laundry she planned to take on the trip. She didn't really want to go, but her brother would be sad if she didn't.
So here she was, growling every so often when a shirt wouldn't fold the way she wanted, while music blared from her CD player. She hadn't really talked to anyone, she just took long bubble baths and slept and ate in her room, having the occasional chocolate bar. Her friends figured her and her boyfriend had split up and came over to comfort her. But to no avail.
Kagome didn't want to be cheered up. She didn't want to forget or to be distracted. She wanted her Inuyasha. And she knew she would never be happy again, some part of her soul knew. 'Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all'. She swore whoever wrote that was going to die a very slow painful death.
(a/n okay I went and got some sleep and now I'm kind of alert. My eyes still keep phasing on me, stupid healthcare system)
"Kagome! Don't forget to pack your toothbrush!" Her mom called from the bottom of the stairs.
She sighed and went over to her yellow backpack, she hadn't touched it all week since she had come home, just too many memories.
Struggling not to cry, she lifted it onto the bed and searched the pockets, no sign of her toothbrush. She opened the top and stuck her hand inside. Pulling out her brush, hairspray, and toothpaste. She growled, where the hell was it! She shoved her hands in deeper and came in connection with a soft, familiar fabric.
Swollowing hard she pulled it out. Inuyasha's red hoari and hakama hang from her fingertips. She dropped it to cover her mouth and stifle a sob and she sat on the bed.
"Inuyasha…" her voice was a reverent whisper. He had kept the necklace and given her his firerat robes.
She pulled the hoari over her shoulders and put her arms through the slits in the sleeves, tying the sleeves like a sash. These were definitely going to be her new pajamas.
Finally, at the bottom of the bag, sat her toothbrush. Pulling it out she discovered some other trinkets next to it. A couple acorns from Shippo. One of Miroku's sutra's. An arrow from Kaede. And a necklace made of connected demon bones that were studded with small stones from Sango.
Sighing she put on the necklace and pulled out a small box from under her bed where she kept her memories. Slipping the acorns, arrows and sutra in the box before shoving it back under the bed.
Changing the CD, she returned to packing her suitcase, the soft hoari rustling as she moved.
He grinned triumphantly and moved to the other side of the pool table to let his brother take his turn.
"Their flight leaves tomorrow Inuyasha," Sesshoumeru knocked an orange ball into the top-right corner. (and if you didn't figure out who these guys are till now, you're an idiot)
The half demon smiled at his brother, "mind if I take the jet?"
Sesshoumeru shrugged and yawned, bored of this game but having nothing better to do. "Just make sure you get your work done while you're gone. You're not going on vacation."
Inuyasha scratched behind his left ear, "I know, I know, come off it already. You have your hands full with this merger. I'll get the work done. I've already sent it all to my computer at the resort."
Sesshoumeru trudged back up the stairs, "I'm having a nap."
Inuyasha laughed, "the great and mighty Lord Sesshoumeru is having a nap? First you mate with a human and now you're napping? Will wonders never cease?"
A fairly large book came in contact with his head by way of reply.
Kagome sighed and crawled into her bed, knowing that at least she could be with him in her dreams. Snuggling down, Kagome closed her eyes and let sleep take her.
Her slid the window open and lightly stepped into her room like he hadn't done in years. Sitting on the edge of her bed he couldn't help but smirk at the sight of her sleeping in his hoari.
Hesitating, he reached out and stroked her raven tresses like he hadn't done in five centuries. He caressed her cheek and smiled lovingly when she nuzzled his hand.
His ears twitched nervously as he moved forward to the lips he hadn't tasted in so long. She responded, keeping her eyes squeezed shut as if trying to stay in the realm of dreams. He ran his tongue across her lower lip and she willingly gave him entrance.
He watched her through half lidded eyes till now, them finally dropping closed when hit with her wonderful flavor, something he had forgotten after such a long time.
He pulled away and crouched on the windowsill, "you will see me soon my love, very soon."
Closing the window behind him himself, he stole one last look at her peacefully sleeping form before climbing off the roof and heading through the city back to his condo, leaping from rooftop to rooftop.
I've been chewing the same piece of gum for ten hours, I even chewed it in my sleep.
I hope you've like my story so far, and if you don't like it, then you don't have to read, keep your flames to yourself. You wouldn't like to get flamed on something you're proud of so don't do it to others.
Now I believe I shall slip into my swimsuit and go in the pool, the water is like 32 degrees Celsius. This heat wave is going to kill me. The temperature nearly reached body temp (37 C) a couple weeks ago.
I discovered something when i was weeding the garden earlier, mosquitos hate catmint/catnip. So I rubbed some of the leaves on my exposed skin to get the scent on me and they stayed away completely! It worked better than any insect repellant I've ever tried. The leaves should be fresh though, it's harder to get the scent on you if it's not.
