Hey, it's me again.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who've reviewed my story so far. I feel so loved!
Nah, seriously, it's your reviews that keep me going. I love your feedback, and it makes me wanna write more, so I'd just like to thank every single person who's taken the time to read this fic so far, and that goes double for those who reviewed.
Enough from me, enjoy this chapter, and if you're good, I might just post chapter 6 early!
Kyo awoke feeling a loss of warmth. Glancing around, he saw Kagome bent over the fire making, what Kyo's nose told him, a delicious breakfast. Crawling out of bed, he walked over to her, wrapping his tiny arms around her. "G'morning Mummy," he mumbled between yawns. "Morning Kyo," she replied, "Why don't you take a seat, breakfast should be ready soon." Realising he wouldn't be able to claim his favourite seat, her lap, he immediately ran to the next best thing.
Inuyasha had been awake since Kagome had stirred. He'd smiled inwardly as he watched Kyo greet the miko. There was just something about Kagome that made him wish he could wrap his arms around her and never let go, but he was a hanyou, a filthy hanyou, and no one could ever love a hanyou. He'd all but given up on his dreams of a life with the miko, until Kyo came along. Seeing her with the inu hanyou gave him hope, and maybe one day he'd have the courage to tell her how he felt, but for now, he'd be content with being her best friend. He'd never had a best friend before Kagome came along, and if that meant watching as she gave her heart to someone else, he'd stay by her, even if he felt his own heart shatter in the process. The older hanyou was shaken out of his thoughts by two tiny hands on his leg. Glancing down, he just managed to see Kyo's tiny smile before the younger hanyou crawled into his lap.
Kagome began to divide the food, making sure that the hanyous received at least three times as much food as everyone else. Looking up, laughter began to bubble out of her uncontrollably. Kagome couldn't believe her eyes, when she'd checked to make sure everyone was awake, she'd spied her two favourite boys in the most hilarious position. Kyo was now seated in Inuyasha's lap, both looking extremely stoic with their hands fisted in their sleeves. She was glad that Kyo had accepted Inuyasha as a friend, but to actually begin to mimic him was just hilarious. Hopefully the arrogant demon would set a better example for Kyo then he did for Shippo.
Kagome handed out the breakfast before settling down beside the two hanyous. "Inuyasha?" Kagome asked timidly, hoping that a massive serving of ramen would make the hanyou more pliant to her thoughts. The hanyou raised his eyebrow and twitched his ears towards her, indicating that he was listening. "Could we take a walk after breakfast?" she asked, "I have a few things I want to discuss with you." Inuyasha's mind began to tick, taking a walk usually meant that he wouldn't like what she was about to say, but it also meant that if she was going to 'sit' him, it would hurt less if he hit grass, and his pride wouldn't suffer so much if there was no one else around. "Sure," he finally replied.
Breakfast was soon finished and Sango took over the cleaning. As a final thought Kagome bent down to Kyo's hight. "Kyo," she asked him, "Would you mind staying with Sango? You can play with Shippo and Kilala if you like." Kyo nodded his head sullenly before walking over to the slayer's side and sitting down. With a final glance over her shoulder at the now-depressed child, Kagome led Inuyasha to the Goshinboku.
Thanks again, and please review. Your words make all the difference and inspire me to write to the best of my ability.
May your thoughts and creativity flow,
