Wow, such a fast reponce! Sorry for the belated update, I've been busy studying...again. This time it's emergency proceedures...which I'll be doing for the next 4 weeks.
Well...on with the fluff.
Inuyasha smirked, extremely pleased with himself, as Kagome told her mother of her pregnancy. Mrs Higurashi couldn't stop gushing about cute ears as she bounced around the kitchen. Kagome's grandpa had left the room, not wanting to hear the details, while Sota had been too excited about Inuyasha officially being his 'big brother' to care about anything else. Shippo and Kyo didn't seem to surprised with the news, but Inuyasha disregarded that, knowing their noses would've picked up the change in Kagome as soon as they hugged her.
After a few tears, mostly from Mrs Higurashi, Inuyasha took his family home, back through the well to the feudal age. Kagome gasped when Inuyasha suddenly covered her eyes with a blindfold, before lifting her into his arms and racing off across feudal Japan, their two pups in tow. Finally reaching their destination, Inuyasha set the miko back down. "'I have a surprise for you," he murmured in her ear before gently nibbling on the fragile lobe. Kagome giggled brushing his head away from his assault on her ear. "The blindfold kind of gave that away," she told him. "You know how you promised to give me my pack of inu hanyous if I could find room to house them?" he asked her. She nodded slowly, wondering where he was going with this. "Well," he ripped the cloth from her eyes, "Welcome to your new home."
Kagome blinked in shock, in front of her was a massive castle, built entirely out of stone. On either side of the gigantic, metal, front door, were two demonic dog statues, symbolising the lord of the castle. While the lower levels were built purely for defence purposes, the upper stories were built to take in the panoramic views. It was big enough for the entire village, and their livestock to take refuge inside if an attack was ever made, while still having enough room to spread out.
Inuyasha took his mate on a tour of their new home. Unlike most castles in Japan, he wanted his to withstand even demonic attacks. The lower levels were mostly small rooms used for storage, but would also double as temporary quarters for the villagers should the need ever arise. There were also massive rooms set aside for the storage of grain and their other harvests for the winter months, which would come in handy if the villagers had to leave their homes quickly.
The upper stories were a different matter altogether. The rooms were spacious, and well furnished. The third top story even had nameplates on the doors. Inuyasha had set aside rooms for Sango, Miroku and any children Kagome was certain they'd have, Sesshomaru and Rin, and even for Keade. The second top floor was dedicated to children's' rooms and one large playroom, while the top floor had a room fitted with a crib and other baby needs, right next to the master bedroom.
Kagome gasped as she entered the master bedroom. She'd been shocked to find out that he'd set aside a room for Sesshomaru, but after the fight with Naraku, both seemed to have developed an understanding, or at least they had stopped trying to kill each other, but the master bedroom took her breath away. A massive four-post bed rested against one wall, red silk curtains and sheets draped over it. A skilled artist had painted a portrait of Inuyasha and Kagome, which hung on one wall. The fur of a giant, rabid wolf demon lay on the floor, serving as a soft rug. Sheer red curtains fluttered against the breeze inviting them onto the balcony, which overlooked the Goshinboku and the village.
Inuyasha silently thanked Miroku and Sango's taste. He'd placed his trust in both to furnish the castle while he had worked with the entire village to build the castle. After the number of times he'd saved the village, they'd been more then happy to help him. It wasn't until after it was built that he'd told them that they were all to seek refuge within its walls if danger threatened the village. The entire village was shocked by the revelation, they owed Inuyasha their lives on many occasions, and now he offered them a place to store their grain, to last the winter months, and shelter.
The ground floor held a massive dining hall, and a large kitchen. The floor below ground level held a gigantic training room large enough for Kilala, Sango, Miroku, Kagome, Inuyasha and the pups to train at the same time, as well as room to store extra weapons. There was another level below the training room, which held a series of small hot springs. Two large springs were sectioned off, one for males, one for females, another was specifically for Inuyasha and Kagome, while the others were to be used by the castle guests, which would most likely be Sango and Miroku.
If the castle hadn't been enough of a shock for Kagome, she couldn't believe what Inuyasha had done to the roof of the castle. The entire roof was covered with a metre of soil, a stone path leading through the various garden beds. Each patch of soil filled with healing herbs, except for one bed surrounding a single stone bench, which was filled with all of Kagome's favourite flowers. Inuyasha sighed softly, he'd asked Keade to create the garden, carrying her up multiple times, each time with a different selection of plants, and while it almost broke his back, the look on Kagome's face made it all worth it.
Lifting Kagome into his arms, he carried her back to their bedroom, pups instantly running off to their own rooms, and lay her gently on the bed. His clawed fingers set to work on her clothes, removing every last piece of material from her body. The hanyou kissed her passionately as he stripped himself crawling under the silk sheets, pressing his naked body to hers. "Goodnight Kags," he murmured softly in her ear as he wrapped her up in his warm embrace. The miko kissed him softly back, "Night sexy," she whispered back, earning her a chuckle from her mate as he remembered the conversation they had on Halloween. "Sweet dreams Koishii," Inuyasha mumbled, burying his nose into her hair, breathing in her sweet scent as they both fell asleep, in their love's embrace.
Okay, well...I guess this is just a little filler. I just wanted to showcase how sweet and caring Inuyasha is, when it comes to Kagome of course, and display the lenghts he'd gone to in preparation for his proposal.
