Chapter 15: The Wishbone
Inuyasha Pov
I have to admit sitting here like this is rather nice. So far there hasn't been not one interruption for a whole fifteen minutes. The last person to come in was Sango and she wanted to take my sleeping Kagome away. Of course I told her to go away. Kagome's exhausted after a hard day of school and then just got out of a two hour practice with whom else…Me. She has another voice recital coming up just before we get out for Christmas.
As Inuyasha kept going through his thoughts Kagome shifted on his chest giving a slight sigh and moved even closer, if possible, to Inuyasha's beating heart. The sound comforted her and as he watched her sleep he tried to match her breathing perfectly so he would not disturb her.
Inuyasha Pov
She looks so beautiful sleeping like this. I wouldn't mind if I saw this everyday. She could sleep on me forever if she wanted. Just knowing she's safe and warm is all I need.
Kagome tried to find Inuyasha's arm and wrap it around her. While still keeping her eyes closed she whispered,
"Sorry Inuyasha…It's cold."
Inuyasha began to smile and rubbed his head with his other hand as Kagome slept peacefully. An hour rolled by with Inuyasha just now nodding off to sleep when Kagome jumped up off his chest with a cry,
"Oh! I almost forgot Inuyasha!"
He was immediately knocked back into the world of the awake and looked at his girlfriend with a confused daze.
"What is it Kagome?"
"What are you doing for Thanksgiving?"
"Well, Mother did want to go visit Sesshoumaru…"
"Oh, you're visiting family. Ok, never mind."
"No, come on, what is it?"
"Well, the girls and I got together and we were thinking well…Since we've been apart for so long and are just now getting back together…Maybe we could have Thanksgiving supper here. You know, we all pitch in and make it ourselves…Together?"
The pleading look Kagome gave him was more than Inuyasha could bare. Why did she have to make that puppy dog look every time she wanted something? It was enough to drive a man crazy! Although it did turn Inuyasha on a little inside just seeing her cute little face pout like so, he knew what he should say; but his heart chose another.
"Together sounds great Kagome."
Her smile could make the Heaven's even brighter and while she continued to grace him with such beauty Inuyasha took this moment to caress her pink cheek with one hand moving her closer to him. The timing was so perfect for either of them. A kiss would have been the best ending to a perfect night if only…
"All right! Party for Thanksgiving!" yelled Miroku coming through the door with Sango wrapped around one arm.
After seeing the scene played out before them Sango jabbed Miroku in his ribs with her elbow saying,
"Oh! I told you they wanted to be alone Miroku! Now look…We've ruined a perfectly good romantic moment for them."
"No we didn't," insisted Miroku as he went to one of Kagome's cabinets grabbing a bag of potato chips and sitting down on one of the couches turning the television on.
"Just act like we're not even here guys," he said as he stuffed a few chips in his mouth.
Inuyasha, Kagome, and Sango just looked at him and started rolling their eyes as Miroku kept flipping through the channels and shoveling the greasy goodness in his ever growing mouth. While turning back towards Kagome, Inuyasha gave her a smirk saying,
"Well, I have no objections," and with that he aggressively pressed his lips to Kagome's before an objection could be made.
Sango blushed and took a seat next to Miroku sharing the chips with him.
………………………
"You're what?"
"I'm staying with Kagome for Thanksgiving, Mother."
"But Inuyasha, we haven't been to see Sesshoumaru in ages. He really misses you."
"Mother, this is Sesshoumaru."
"Well, Thanksgiving is a time when you should be with your family."
"Exactly…Isn't family the people you love. So when you love someone so much don't you consider them to be, oh shall we say, family?"
"Inuyasha, you just met her for goodness sakes."
"And I know her enough to know I love her."
"But what about Kenjen? Surely you are not going to let him spend Thanksgiving without his father?"
As the two adults persistently argued on and on neither noticed the little boy watching the scene from the stairs until he ran downstairs grabbing his father's leg saying,
"Father won't leave me! I'm staying with him!"
Both Mrs. Shigwa and Inuyasha looked surprised at the little boy and Inuyasha bent down to lift him in his arms.
"Kenjen?" began Mrs. Shigwa, "Don't you want to see Uncle Sessy?"
"Yeah, but I also want to be with my dad."
"And you will because he is coming with us to California."
"No I'm not Mother. I'm staying with Kagome and the others."
Mrs. Shigwa sighed placing her hands on her hips. She knew how stubborn her son was because her late husband was the same. Looking at how stern and sincere his eyes were she knew there was no changing his mind.
"Fine! The both of you stay. I'll go and see Sesshoumaru!"
Kenjen and Inuyasha smiled at each other proud of their accomplishment. Raising his hand Kenjen gave his father a high five and they embraced into a warm hug. Soon after their victory, Inuyasha returned the little boy to bed.
"Father?"
"Yes Kenjen?"
"Why don't you marry Ms. Kagome already? That way Grandmother won't get mad for you wanting to be with her for Thanksgiving. We'll be together and we'll be a family and then all of us can go see Uncle Sessy."
Inuyasha stroked his young son's hair unsure of how to answer his question. How to explain to his child why he could not marry Ms. Kagome right now? He couldn't say to him that she's too young and that she's just not ready to completely commit herself to him. What could he say to Kenjen?
"Well son…You see…" looking at his son as he flashed the most perfect set of amber eyes back at him, "Well…I'll explain it to you when you're older."
Yeah…That did it!
Kenjen looked disappointed and his father told him to sleep well for the night. He could not help but wonder what it would be like to have Ms. Kagome as his mother right this very moment. Drifting off to sleep a beautiful dream danced in his child like head…
"Good morning Sweetheart," said Kagome, no his Mother.
"Morning Mommy," said Kenjen as he looked up at his new Mother sitting down on his bed with a smile.
"How'd you sleep honey?"
"Just fine Mommy."
With that she bent down kissing his head and told him breakfast was ready and to hurry down for pancakes. Kenjen was so content with his new life. Even though part of him new it was all a dream and that none of this was going to be here when he awoke, he decided to make the best of it.
Going downstairs he saw his Mother and Father embrace in a mushy kiss right before his eyes. The little boy closed his eyes not wanting to see it; but glad it was there. The grown ups still hadn't noticed his presence yet and he stumbled into the kitchen sitting in a chair as they continued to love each other.
When they realized he was sitting right there in front of them they quickly separated and Kenjen's Mother placed pancakes on his plate adding butter and syrup giving him another kiss on his head. She also did the same for his Father and he returned his kiss with a longer one on her lips.
Yes…This was definitely what he wanted…Now!
……………………
Like Father, like son….
"Kagome? Are you sure?"
"Positive. I've never wanted anything more than this."
A soft kiss fell on the lover's lips and Inuyasha gently placed Kagome down upon the bed…Her bed…No, there bed. He moved his hands up and down her elegantly soft body and continued to massage her until she felt brave enough to put his hand on the hem of her shirt motioning for him to pull it off her.
Inuyasha did just that and hugged her once more kissing her soft neck as he fondled with the clasps of her bra. Pulling her up to a sitting position he finally unlatched the bra continuing to kiss her and continuing to hear her moan the whole time, he slowly removed her bra. About to look down seeing her beautiful body…
"Wake up Inuyasha! I'm about to leave for California!" rang his mother shaking his shoulder.
Inuyasha was completely shocked when he opened his eyes to find his mother staring down at him. He couldn't believe she chose to wake him up right then of all times. As she rose up from the bed spouting out instructions Inuyasha closed his eyes again.
"Now Inuyasha, don't forget to call and let me know you and Kenjen are still alive. I'll be back on Saturday. Oh, and make sure to cook something proper for Kenjen, he is a growing boy! French fries and ice cream is surely not a meal and don't even think about taking him out to eat fast food for the whole weekend! Did you get all that Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha motioned with his hand for her to go while nodding himself to sleep. Turning around before walking out Mrs. Shigwa announced,
"Oh and Inuyasha?"
"Hmm?"
"Please take a cold shower before saying 'good morning' to Kenjen. I don't think you are ready to explain to him why 'it' does that, just yet."
With a smile of pure giddiness she looked into her son's wide eyes giving him a wink and turned around closing his bedroom door. Inuyasha peered down and could have died right then and there for hearing his mother's comment. Not to mention his mother saw what happened down there in the first place. All he could do was roll his eyes back and hit his head on his pillow hoping sleep would return to him once again.
………………………….
(Thanksgiving Day – Early in the morning!)
"Oh come on Koga! Shopping isn't that bad!"
"Why am I here again?"
"Because you have the car, you are my strong and muscular boyfriend, and you love me."
"Hmm, well, since you put it that way Ayame."
The couple giggled and smiled as they drove to the supermarket buying supplies for their big Thanksgiving celebration.
"Now remember Koga, we are here for food nothing else."
"I know I know…"
As they walked into Super Mart, Ayame received a phone call from Sango. She was desperately hoping it was nothing more to add on to the list of food items. They were already up to item number thirty-three. But she answered because it was Sango after all.
"Hello Sango…Oh really, that's too bad. Yeah, don't worry. Uh huh, yeah, we'll get it. Sure. Ok, some more tea packets. No problem, just take care of her all right. I know you know that, I was just saying. Fine, can I get back to my shopping now? All right, talk to ya later…Ok, bye."
Koga looked a little concerned and asked Ayame what was up.
"Oh, it turns out Kagome has a cold. We need to get her some medicine while we're here."
"That's too bad. Mutt-face of course gave it to her."
"Why do you say that? She was probably out sitting on the steps with him again all night. You know she gets cold easily."
"Exactly, and trying to have him keep her warm…HA!"
Ayame only rolled her eyes as they grabbed a cart to put all their items in. Neither of them liked shopping for food; but Sango insisted since she and Kagome were going to do the cooking while Miroku and Inuyasha took care of the decorations. It seemed easy enough; but now she'll probably get stuck having to cook because of Kagome's cold.
"All right! That's the last of it. Plus, some cold medicine and tea packets for Kagome. And I'd say we're good to go Koga."
"Finally!"
"Oh come on! It's not that bad."
"Show's what you know. Look at all these people! We're talking at least a thirty minute wait in line."
"Hmm…Well, you know there is something we could try…"
"And what's that?"
Moments later we could see Koga and Ayame coming up from behind people and of course they were letting them through.
"Hey! Excuse me, my wife's pregnant do you think we could cut in front of you? Oh thank you so much, you are too kind. Come along dear…"
Koga helped his newly pregnant wife into the line to be the next person to check out. As they put the items on the counter Ayame had Koga cover her as she lifted the turkey she was hiding under her shirt and put it on the counter.
"Aww, look at our bundle of joy Koga."
"It's just what I've always wanted Ayame…A nice plump Thanksgiving turkey."
The couple kissed, paid for their items and got the heck out of dodge before any of the other customers could see what just happened.
"I'd say we make a dangerous combination Mr. Packard."
"I'd have to agree Mrs. Packard. How's our new bundle of joy?"
Looking in the back seat she turned back to Koga saying,
"Still frozen."
"Ha! Not for long!"
…………………………..
As Inuyasha and Kenjen were coming up the stairs they met up with Sango running down to meet Ayame and Koga who just called her telling her to hurry and help them.
"Hey Sango, you remember Kenjen."
"Oh hey their honey."
"Hello Ms. Sango."
"Polite as always. Um, Inuyasha I have to go down stairs, Ayame and Koga just got back from shopping. If you want Kenjen, you can go play my Playstation 2. I have all sorts of games." She said bending down to Kenjen who had an excited smile on his face.
Kenjen looked and pleaded with his father; but reminded him that it would be nice to see Kagome. Sango stopped him and told him he could see her later and Kenjen agreed. There's no way you can get in between a boy and his video games. Inuyasha agreed and Sango showed him to her room and then quickly ran down stairs to meet a grumpy Koga and semi-cheerful Ayame.
…………………
Inuyasha couldn't wait any longer; he had to see his beloved Kagome. Knocking on her door he realized it was open to his surprise, and poked his head through the door.
"Kagome?"
No sound was made as he walked through the room. He noticed her bedroom door was slightly ajar and gently knocked on it in case she was getting dressed. Which of course he wouldn't mind walking in on something like that. But still, to be a gentleman he did the proper thing.
When he realized she wasn't answering he stepped in and noticed the sleeping figure on her bed with several covers on top of her body. Tissues were all over her bedside tables, as well, as several different cups of fluids. Inuyasha's expression turned from a gentle smile to a warm sincere look on his face. Could his Kagome be sick?
Gently sitting next to her on the bed he looked at her and caressed her cheek, then her forehead…
"She has a fever."
Feeling Inuyasha's cool hand upon her head Kagome stirred and opened her eyes. Her smile was enough to melt Inuyasha's heart. Was she smiling at a time like this?
"Inuyasha, I was hoping I'd wake up to your face."
"Are you feeling all right Kagome?"
"I feel just fine, except for this nasty cold. I must look like a mess."
It was true; Kagome did not look like that adorable girl she normally did. Her hair was tossed and tangled from all her rest, her eyes were watery and she had dark circles underneath them. Her throat was scratch and her nose was running like a faucet. Other than that, Inuyasha didn't care. She was his Kagome and to him, she looked gorgeous.
"You look gorgeous to me."
"Liar…"
"No, I'm serious. You still have the most beautiful soft hair, and your cheeks are even more rosy than usual."
"That's because I have a fever Inuyasha!" Kagome began to cough and Inuyasha could only look unable to help her.
"Is there anything you want me to do?"
Kagome looked at him for a second before opening her mouth, at the same time Sango walked in holding a cup of tea in her hands saying,
"Like she would want you when she could have Sister Sango take care of her. Here you go Kagome, drink up!"
Sango handed a grateful Kagome a sweet cup of green tea sitting beside her on the bed. Sango put her hand to her forehead saying,
"Ooh, you still have a fever. I'll be right back with your medicine Kagome."
Sango put a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder who was obviously worried. She smiled at him before leaving the two alone for a few moments.
"You gotta love her…She does make a good a cup of tea." Said Kagome sitting up and holding the tea in her lap. "She says that we're all we have, so we need to take care of each other as much as possible."
"I guess Sango is one in a million…"
"More like one in a billion Inuyasha."
The couple gazed into each other's eyes endlessly until Sango came rushing back in with the medicine Ayame and Koga bought for her. It was enough medication to put Kagome out for an entire week.
"All right Kagome, here comes the airplane…"
"Very funny Sango," said Kagome as Sango tried to give her a cup of medicine.
When she drank every last bit of the medicine Sango had to offer, Kagome's stomach felt as if it were turning and possibly doing flips. The apparent grim look on her face made Sango laugh.
"Well Kagome…As my mother always says, if it hurts that means it's working, and if it makes you sick, then that means it's working even harder."
"Thanks Sango," said Kagome lying back down on her pillow.
"All right, well, Ayame and I are going to go cook supper. You stay here and rest. Don't even think about lifting a thing while I'm here."
She smiled and walked out of the room once more. Inuyasha pushed Kagome's covers higher above her chest and sat by her still.
"Inuyasha?"
"Yes Kagome?"
"Will you lie beside me?"
"I will when I come back."
"Come back? You're leaving?"
"Only for awhile, I'll be back as soon as I can."
"But Inuyasha-"
"I said I'd be back Kagome, I promise. I'll probably be back before you wake up again."
"I won't be able to sleep now that-"
As she lay on her pillow she could feel her medicine kicking in. It happened so fast she wasn't able to finish her sentence. Inuyasha looked at her a little confused and then said allowed,
"I'll remember never to give you alcohol Kagome. You obviously can't hold your liquor."
He chuckled to himself and kissed her cheek before leaving. While he was outside her door he met up with Miroku.
"Hey, where you going?"
"Oh, I just have to go do somethings first. Is Kenjen gonna be all right with you guys?"
"Oh yeah, don't worry about him."
"I wasn't, I was worried about you."
"Ha ha, very funny…"
"Tell Kenjen I won't be long."
"All right, hurry up man, I don't wanna end up doing these decorations on my own you know."
"You won't, Koga's back remember?"
"Like he's gonna do anything, the next time we'll see him is when everything's done!"
"Good point…All right, as I told Kagome, I won't be long."
…………………..
Inuyasha Pov
All right, all I have to do is go to the store and get back to my house with the proper ingredients. But, it might help if I call Mother to tell me what the hell I'm supposed to do with all of it.
"Hey Mom?"
"Oh good Inuyasha! You called me just like I asked. And I thought you were gonna be irresponsible and forget like you normally do."
"Whatever…Anyway, Kagome's sick and I wanted to make that soup you always make for us."
"Oh! Oh no Inuyasha! Please tell me you aren't going to go near my stove?"
"Mother, you're the one who wanted me to cook for Kenjen this weekend!"
"Well, I expected Miroku to be there, I never expected you to actually follow what I said."
"Mother, she's sick so tell me how to make this soup already."
"All right…Do you have the ingredients?"
"Yes."
"Is everything clean?"
"Yes."
"Is the fire extinguisher near by?"
"Yes-HEY!"
…………………….
"All right…Do you know anything about cooking a turkey, Ayame?"
"No, I thought you did?"
"Well, I've seen my Mom do it every year, so it can't be that hard."
Looking at the bird in the pan Ayame and Sango felt sick. Why weren't they vegetarians?
"Ok, why don't we just call someone?"
"Good idea…Who?"
"Well, perhaps the only people we know who can make a turkey…"
"Fine…Yours or mine?"
……………………………..
"You know Koga, you could help." Said Miroku putting up a banner saying, "Happy Thanksgiving," in big bold red letters.
"Hey, I am helping. I'm keeping the kid company." He said while playing Super Hang On with Kenjen, who was obviously beating him.
"HA! I win again Koga!" shouted Kenjen.
Looking at the sight Miroku rolled his eyes and taking a step back modeled his work. Making sure it was straight he congratulated himself; but as he turned around the banner fell…On him!
Kenjen and Koga began laughing as Miroku looked like he was ready to rip the banner into tiny pieces. Remaining calm he simply sighed and took a seat next to Koga. Offering his hand for the controller Koga gave it to him saying,
"Kenjen, you ready to go up against Uncle Miroku?"
"If you mean am I ready to beat you like Uncle Koga? Then of course!"
The two engaged in a race of motorcycles and the banner was quickly forgotten.
………………………
"DAMN! OUCH! WHAT THE FU-"
"Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Are you all right? What's going on over there?"
The sounds of pans clattering and banging made her feel uneasy and dreadful as she waited for her son to get back on the phone.
"Nothing Mother just had some water spill."
"Don't tell me…The pot of boiling water on the stove?"
"Yes Mother…"
"Inuyasha, can't you get Miroku over there. I'm worried!"
"Don't be mother, I'll be just fine."
"I'm worried about the house!"
………………………………
"Mother! I just called to ask about a freakin' turkey! Not a lecture on how I never call!" said Sango becoming frustrated with her mother.
"Uh Mother, I'm cooking a turkey, not fried chicken…" said Ayame trying to hide her embarrassment from Sango.
"Mother! Would you stop talkin' so I can get a word in? No, this does not count as getting a word in! Listen woman-"
"Mom? I need to know how to cook a turkey not roast a turkey!"
Ayame and Sango looked at each other and at the same time just removed the receiver away from their ears.
"Hey Ayame?"
"Yes Sango?"
"I can't talk to my Mom, here…" She handed a surprised Ayame the phone.
"But Sango-"
While she began Sango took away Ayame's phone call with her mother putting it to her ear,
"Hello, Mrs. Petelle? Yes, this is Sango speaking…We need to know how to cook a Thanksgiving turkey. Can you help? You can? That would be great, ok…Uh huh, leave it in the oven for…Ok, yeah, remove the cover first…Ok, gotcha!" Turning to look at Ayame she said, "Hey! My Mom makes the best dressing, ask her how to make that would ya?"
Ayame was in utter shock at the way Sango was talking to her mother, as if they had known each other for years. Then she looked at the receiver in her hands and put it questionably up to her ear.
"Uh hello? Mrs. Hunter? Uh, this is Ayame…Um; Sango wanted me to ask if you could tell us how to make your dressing? Oh, your daughter's right here; but she's talking to my mom right now. Well, she grabbed the phone from me and gave me the one for you. Ok Mrs. Hunter, I'll tell her. Ok, so, we leave it in there for…Ok, and not too much…Ok, and more…Ok, thank you so much Mrs. Hunter. Talk to ya later. Oh yes, you have a Happy Thanksgiving too Mrs. Hunter, good bye!"
"Good bye Mrs. Petelle, yes we're having loads of fun over here. Uh huh, you have a Happy Thanksgiving too. Thanks, good bye!"
Both Ayame and Sango gave each other their cell phones back looking at each other with tired expressions. Getting up from their seats at the table they quickly went to work on their Thanksgiving feast.
"Oh Sango?"
"Yes Ayame?"
"Your Mom wanted me to tell you you're in big trouble."
"What for?"
"She never said…"
Sango gave an exasperated look and began preparing the turkey while Ayame cut the vegetables for the dressing.
……………………….
"There! It's done! The decorations are finally finished!" said Miroku with a huge smile.
"Hey! Looks nice Miroku, even for you."
"You know Koga, I'm so relieved it's finished that remarks like that won't tear me down now!"
As Sango came out of the kitchen she was in awe at the sight. The living room was decorated to perfection with Thanksgiving Day colors and center pieces. The banner she noticed was completely straight and the tables were neatly placed with white table clothes with a center piece every half way. As she kept looking her expression soon turned to a tired and regretful gaze.
"Sango dear? What do you think? Nice huh?"
"Oh it's nice honey; now take it down."
"I'm sorry…What did you say?"
He looked at his girlfriend's stern face that did not sway in emotion in the slightest.
"I said, take it down, take it all down."
"What? Why?"
"Because Miroku! We can't have Thanksgiving in here! Kagome's sick! I'm not making her move out of her bed, not even an inch! Now take everything down and move it to Kagome's bedroom! And don't make a sound Miroku! I don't want you to disturb her! Now move! Supper's almost ready!"
Miroku was in utter shock that he couldn't move, nor even blink. He stood there with his mouth wide open as he watched Sango go back to the kitchen.
"Uh, Uncle Miroku?" asked Kenjen.
Miroku didn't move or say a word.
"Uncle Koga…I'm worried."
"Me too Kenjen. I think the perv; I mean your uncle has finally snapped."
All they could do was look on at Miroku staring in Sango's direction with a mortified expression on his face.
At that moment Inuyasha came in through the door carrying a huge cooking pot.
"Hey guys! I'm back!"
"Father!" said Kenjen running up to his dad.
"Hey, how's my boy?"
"I'm doing just fine…But it's Uncle Miroku I'm worried about."
"Why's that?"
Inuyasha glanced at Miroku and realized he wasn't moving. Putting the pot down to walk over to Miroku he waved his hand over his eyes.
"Miroku? Are you all right?"
"Take it down she says? Take it all down…" was all he would babble.
"Ok, I think Uncle Miroku is down for the count. Hey Koga, why don't you sit him down over on the couch?"
"Sure thing Inu…Come on Kenjen, help me move Uncle Miroku."
Kenjen nodded and they began trying to have Miroku sit down on one of the couches. While they did this Inuyasha grabbed the pot and went into the kitchen to find Ayame and Sango running around busily putting the food into bowls.
"Oh Inuyasha! You're back!" said a happy Sango
"Yeah, I just got back."
"That's good! I was wondering about you. Anyways, the food is done; all we are doing is trying to move it."
"Ok, well, I made something special for Kagome. I thought she'd heal faster with some good food."
The two girls gave Inuyasha a look only a woman can give to send chills down a man's spine.
"Uh…When I say 'good food' I mean you know…Uh, food that will be healthy for a person that is sick…Uh like well, uh, soup!" he said holding the pot up in front of him like a shield.
Sango noticed the pot and immediately changed her expression hitting her hand on top of her head.
"Ah! Of course! Soup! Kagome's sick, she doesn't need to eat solid foods! Thank you so much Inuyasha. You've really come through…"
Seeing her expression change for the better Inuyasha put the pot on the counter with a sigh as he watched the girls eagerly prepare the rest of the supplies.
After having Koga and Kenjen set up the decorations in Kagome's room, and Sango revive Miroku with a passionate kiss, each of them began taking items to Kagome's room quietly so as to not wake her. When they were each ready they walked aligning her bed with their bodies and looked at the sleeping angel. Inuyasha sat down on the bed and kissed her forehead. Feeling his soft lips against her skin Kagome awoke with another smile on her face.
"Hey beautiful, I told you I'd be back."
"Oh Inuyasha!" She got up as fast as she could to hug him and was instantly greeted by everyone around.
Even Kenjen jumped on the bed to hug Kagome and sit next to her the whole time. Kagome couldn't believe what everyone had done while she was asleep. The room was decorated to perfection and the food was spread out on the tables in nice rows. Everyone used her bed as seats and they talked endlessly about the days events.
When Kagome felt she had enough energy to eat something, Inuyasha gave her a bowl of soup. She took it and then noticed his bandaged hand.
"Hey Inuyasha? What happened?"
"Oh, well, I had a little accident earlier in the kitchen."
"Wait…You were cooking?"
"Sure was…That soup you're eating…I went home and made it."
"You made this…For me?"
"Well, my Mother always makes it for us when we're sick. It usually works."
Looking down at the soup she questioned it just a bit.
"Uh, what is it anyways?"
"It's called Fish Soup."
"Fish Soup?"
"Yes, all the ingredients are fresh. You have shrimp, oysters, scallops, onions, tomatoes, rice, and garlic."
"Wow…I can't believe you did this. Thank you."
"Any time my love. Now eat up."
Kagome nodded and everyone continued eating and sharing their stories. When it was all said and done all that remained of the turkey was of course…The wishbone.
"Oh look…A wishbone," pointed Kagome.
"Oh yeah," said Inuyasha picking it out from the shards of turkey and bones scattered on the platter.
"What's a wishbone Father?" asked Kenjen snuggling up in Kagome's arms.
"Well son, it's a bone that you wish on. Two people try to break off and get the middle half, whoever ends up getting the middle half, supposedly their wish comes true."
"Really? Wow…Can I try?"
"Of course," Handing the bone to Kenjen he looked at it in awe.
"Ms. Kagome? Would you like to be my wishing partner?"
Kagome nodded and gently put one hand on the other side of the bone. Kagome said,
"Are you ready Kenjen?"
"Yes, Ms. Kagome,"
Everyone looked with smiles on their faces as the two began to pull at the bone. Finally Kenjen was able to break it and he started laughing,
"I did it! I did it! My wish will come true!"
Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other with smiles and he bent down to kiss her forehead once more.
Sitting down next to Kenjen, Ayame said,
"So, what did you wish for?"
"Oh, he can't tell you Ayame, or his wish won't come true," said Sango sitting next to her.
"I don't believe in that stuff. Come on Kenjen, what did you wish for?"
"Well, Aunt Ayame, I wished for…" looking at his Father who nodded for him to continue, "I wished for Ms. Kagome to get well soon…So she could marry my Father."
Everyone looked on with surprised looks and then timid smiles at the young child. Ayame and Sango couldn't help but wrap their arms around the small boy.
"What? Did I wish for the wrong thing?"
"No of course not Kenjen," said a tired Kagome, "You made a wonderful wish."
This being said she smiled at Inuyasha who in return held her hand and kissed the back of it rubbing it against his cheek. Kenjen looked at his Father and then at Ms. Kagome with a smile. Moving away from Ayame and Sango the young boy crawled to Kagome and put her other arm around him so that his father and her could keep contact.
The little boy began to yawn and closed his eyes moving closer to Kagome to sleep against her. When everyone saw this they immediately began to yawn and started to clean up. Kagome looked down at the small child against her and kissed his head as well as closing her eyes. Seeing this Inuyasha kissed her cheek once more and started to get up when Sango placed a hand on his shoulder.
"We've got this Inuyasha. You stay with Kenjen and Kagome."
He nodded as everyone began filing out of the room closing the door behind them. When everyone was gone Inuyasha got up from the bed and moved to the other side where Kenjen laid. Removing some of the covers so he could join them he gently crept into the bed not to disturb either of them and gently wrapped his arm around Kenjen and Kagome.
Opening her eyes for just a moment she noticed what Inuyasha had done and smiled at him as he did the same. Closing their eyes once more they drifted off into a deep sleep snuggled together as one.
