Inu 14

He watched while Sango and Miroku exited the building, holding hands. 'Why do they get to be so happy?' He began to think of a way to lure Kagome away from Inuyasha… perhaps another invitation for a coffee. Even though he knew Kagome never drank coffee. He had to find a way to slip those herbs into a drink and quickly before Kagome and Inuyasha began to love each other!

'Kagome was pretty tired this morning. That baby is taking more out of her everyday…' Inuyasha was so into his thoughts he didn't even notice Kagome sneaking up on him. Then when Kagome tried to tackle him he came to his senses and was quickly able to regain his balance. He turned around and looked at Kagome who was pouting.

"You're no fun you know that? I mean you could have let me tackle you… but nooooo, the mighty Inuyasha can't do that…" she finished before erupting into a fit of giggles.

"What has you in such a good mood this morning Kagome?" Inuyasha asked while he cocked an eyebrow.

Kagome just smiled and hugged him around the waist. Inuyasha had a shocked look on his face, before returning the hug with almost as much vigour. He didn't want to injure the baby. Every time that Kagome spontaneously showed him affection he was happy for it. The hugs had been few and far between. But as of late she had been hugging him more.

Kagome looked up into his eyes. He was looking back down. She tilted her head up and her eyes were locked on his lips. They looked so soft… Kagome unconsciously licked her own lips making them wet. Inuyasha looked down and saw Kagome licking her lips. 'Why does she have to be so darn seductive… even when she doesn't mean to be…'

Kagome looked up and saw his gaze on her lips. 'Go for it Kagome!' He mind silently cheered her on. She began to slowly move up onto her tip toes and was it just her or did he begin to move down towards her too. Slowly they moved closer… and closer… they were a centimetre away, then suddenly Kagome pushed herself up quickly and captured his lips with her own.

When Inuyasha didn't reject her chaste kiss she melted into it. Revelling in how good his lips felt. Inuyasha's arms encircled her waist, bringing her closer to his body. He then began to lick Kagome's bottom lip, hoping she'd let him in. When she opened her mouth Inuyasha entered and began to lick and caress her mouth. It surprised him though when Kagome began to mimic his movements. Then when he stopped she still fought for dominance. Inuyasha decided that for the time being she can be dominant. 'Later though, she can be my equal, not my superior or inferior.'

They separated and parted for breath.

"I didn't see that one coming." Inuyasha teased.

"Neither did I." Kagome answered honestly.

"Well I have to hurry up and head into work. I'll see you later Babe." Inuyasha said while kissing her forehead. Kagome was blushing and waved to him as he headed out the door. 'Now this I HAVE to tell Sango about.' Kagome thought while giggling.

A pair of eyes watched Kagome reach for the phone. 'Soon your time will be up little miko. Then Naraku will be happy.' She was gone in a sudden gust of wind.

Later that evening when Inuyasha returned from work, he found Kagome in the kitchen stirring something on the stove, singing to herself.

"In sleep he sang to me

In dreams he came

That voice which calls to me

And speaks my name

And do I dream again

For now I find…"

She was interrupted by Inuyasha grabbing her waist and pulling her into him. "Honey, I'm home." He said in a teasing voice, as he kissed her neck. Kagome moaned and turned around to face him, brandishing her wooden spoon as a weapon.

"Now Inuyasha, I'm in the middle of making dinner. If you continue this, our dinner will burn!" She said with a stern look on her face.

"Let it burn." He said while moving in and kissing her on the lips. When Kagome parted her lips, he quickly invaded. Their tongues began to twist together. They both became more passionate. It intensified and then… the timer went off.

"The rolls!", Kagome exclaimed while opening the oven and pulling them out. Inuyasha laughed watching Kagome bend over. That sent his mind spiralling downwards. When Kagome stood back up with the tray in her hands and turned around Inuyasha was looking at her with a strange look in his eyes.

"What? Is something wrong Inuyasha?" Kagome asked while cocking her head.

Inuyasha quickly refocused his gaze smiled and moved to take the tray from her.

"Careful it's hot." Kagome warned. Now if only Inuyasha had been listening… He grabbed the tray and quickly set it down on the counter while blowing on his hands and running to the faucet. Kagome laughed while he ran cold water over his hands.

"You should have warned me Kagome!"

"I did too warn you! It's not my fault you don't listen." Kagome said with a huff.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did NOT!"

Did TOO!"

"DID NOT!"

"DID TOO!"

"DID NOT!"

"Did too infinity!" Kagome said while sticking out her tongue. "I therefore win, so ha!"

"Smartass…" Inuyasha mumbled.

One Month later

Kagome and Inuyasha's relationship was blossoming. They were soon, the cute couple that looks adorable together. Every where they'd go, they'd be holding hands. Since Kagome's belly was progressively getting bigger, Inuyasha was more than happy to help her out. Kouga was soon getting frantic about using the herbs. So he hastily made a call, and decided it was now or never.

"Hello? Kagome?"

"Oh hi Kouga! How are you?"

"I'm fine, do you want to grab lunch in about half an hour?"

"That sounds great! Inuyasha is going to be busy all day. Lunch sounds wonderful!"

"Alright, so you know that new diner, down on Bath Road?"

"Yeah… I know which one you mean."

"I'll see you there, bye."

"Bye."

'That wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Well I have to get ready.'

Half an hour later they met outside of the diner and headed in. They ordered their drinks and Kagome due to the large swell of her stomach, since it put pressure on her bladder, had to go to the bathroom. As she left Kouga reached over and poured the herbs into the de-caffeinated tea she had ordered and quickly mixed it in.

'Kouga was looking really nervous today… I wonder what's wrong.'

When Kagome returned Kouga was still looking anxious.

"What's wrong Kouga?"

"Oh, nothing. I heard it's good when you drink all of your cup at once Kagome. It should be good for our baby."

"Oh, okay Kouga." Kagome pulled the cup up to her lips and drank it down. Then she lazily lowered herself to the table. At this point Kouga became very concerned.

"Ka-Kagome? Are you alright...? Kagome it's me… Kouga."

At this point she sat up very quickly. "Kouga honey, how are you?"

Kouga did a double take. "Kagome?"

"Yes, silly. Who else would it be?" She asked in a giggle.

Kouga began to relax. It had worked perfectly. "So Kagome how have you been?"

"I… uh… don't remember…" She said sheepishly.

"Don't worry, we'll eat lunch then I'll take you home to my place, and you can call your old roommate and tell him you're moving in with me.

"Okay Kouga! Whatever you say!"

'Where is Kagome… It's past six o'clock… there was a note saying she'd be gone for an hour or two… but that was left at 11:30…' The phone ringing brought Inuyasha out of his thinking.

"Hello?"

"Uh… hello. My name is Kagome and I'm moving in with my fiancé, Kouga. I'll come by sometime soon and pick up my stuff. I'll talk to you later."

"Kago-"

"Kagome… what did I do…" Inuyasha thought while he slumped to the floor. When she had said that Kouga was her fiancé, his heart had shattered. 'I'll talk to her tomorrow then everything will work out fine.'

A pair of eyes watched the hanyou, slump to the floor in defeat. "Everything is going well for Naraku" She spat the name out. "I suppose I had better return to him." She vanished once again with the wind.
