Chapter 12 – Present Vacation 1

Kagome was taking a long deserved rest from all that happened. She wanted to go home but she was too tired to even move so she took Sango's advice of going back tomorrow instead. Her mind kept on wandering though, before her eyes finally gave up.

The others were outside having all the pleasures of a nice afternoon. Inuyasha was sitting outside on a log as if waiting for Kagome to wake up. Shippo on the other hand, kept on annoying him for fun even though he gets a few punches for it. Sango and Miroku were getting closer and closer.

"Feh…Would you two stop it?" Inuyasha growled at the couple's sweet talks.

Shippo looked from Inuyasha to the couple innocently. Sango suddenly stood up and walked towards him, annoyed by Inuyasha's interference. 'Why does he always destroy the mood?' Her face got fiery red and tried to burst something until it really came out, "Just because you and Kagome aren't together yet doesn't mean...argghh! Whatever! Miroku we're going for a walk!" Sango dragged Miroku for a walk leaving Shippo and Inuyasha behind.

"This is going to be a long afternoon…"Shippo sighed as he took some crayons and drew something on the log Inuyasha's been sitting.

He could hear nothing else but the birds chirping, leaves rustling as they rubbed against each other, the swishing sound of the wind and Shippo's crayons tapping against the log. He couldn't bear the silence between him and everything that surrounded him. If only he could make some noise but that would be quite disturbing for Kagome. He stomped his foot and stood up but just as he turned he saw a black-haired girl with brown hazel eyes.

She was about to take a step forward out in the rough ground with bare feet when suddenly he carried her bridal style by surprise. They gazed at each other's eyes as the wind brushed through their faces and silver-black hairs intertwined. Shippo ran to greet her but stopped and observed both of them staring. He just couldn't wait much longer so he broke off the silence, "You could just kiss her you know!"

Inuyasha glared at Shippo but then Kagome just smiled and laughed a bit. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing." Kagome stopped and smiled. "Where's Sango and Miroku?"

"They ran off…Inuyasha got mad at them," Shippo replied.

"Mad because?" Kagome asked, waiting for a reply.

"Hmph," he ignored.

"Don't worry Kagome…I know where they are…I'll go and look for them," Shippo said as he walked towards the direction where Sango and Miroku went a while ago.

"Oh okay Shippo. Take care, okay?" Kagome shouted as she waved goodbye. "Tell them I'll be coming back after three days!"

"Okay!" Shippo ran this time and waved back.

"Three days?" Inuyasha asked.

"Yeah….algebra," she sighed.

"I-I'll get you there."

"Uhm…you don't need to. I could just walk from here."

"No, I'll……carry you." Inuyasha insisted.

Kagome blushed and tried to look away but then she didn't want him to notice, "Hmmm? Are you really Inuyasha?" She asked him, their faces close to each other.

This time it was Inuyasha's turn to get red. "Baka! You'll get your feet hurt!" he bursted lessening the blush on his face and turned at his side. Instead of hearing something like 'it was a joke' from her, he heard a slight laugh. "What now?"

Kagome shook her head, "Nothing…"

Inuyasha ran through the woods with Kagome on his arms. She felt happy about it as she felt his arms wrapped around her.

She tightened her grip on his shirt and closed her eyes.

Kagome :

He's so warm…

If only they could stay like this forever, she'd feel like it was heaven.

He noticed her grip on him and it made him feel better. He remembered the same feeling when they embraced. But the daydreaming had to end when they arrived in the well. Inuyasha didn't stop and quickly jumped with her down inside.

It was dark, humid and cold but still it was nothing. They were contented by the warmth flowing against each other's skin. Kagome gave a bit of a squeal as they landed on the ground with a thud.

Inuyasha jumped up again and this time there was no forest or any leaves rustling but instead an inside of an old room to cover up the ancient well. He walked outside still having Kagome on his arms.

"Home!" Kagome clapped with a smile on her face.

The moment he saw her smile, he remembered each time she gave him a smile. It was a relief for him because it was a bit long before she smiled again from that dream. What was that dream? The question went into his mind again.

"Inuyasha?" she asked. "Is something wrong?"

Inuyasha shook his head and walked her outside that dark old room and the minute they got out of it, the fresh sweet air went against their faces through a gentle breeze. Leaves were falling from a large tree, Goshinboku and birds were twittering. It was nice to see the old shrine again. It's been long. She's been absent for too long, almost a month perhaps…good thing exams weren't given until next week.

They went inside the house and there Souta and grandpa were eating lunch. It's Saturday and they used to eat together during weekends before she couldn't join them because she had to go to the feudal era. Her mom was standing and still preparing a dish. Each of them looked at the opened door on their side as they heard a door closed. They were expecting someone to come walking by pass them. It was Inuyasha and he was still carrying Kagome. All of them stared at each other.

There was a bit of a silence starting.

Souta gave a big smile. Inuyasha knew what it meant, he had to play video games with him again and he just gave a quick sigh.

"Thanks Inuyasha," Kagome went down and Inuyasha gently took her off his arms.

"Mama!" she ran and hugged her mom with joy.

"Kagome…" her mom hugged her back and smiled.

"Why were you carrying Kagome, boy?" her grandpa interrupted.

Inuyasha just stared blankly as he sat down with them in the table. Her grandpa squinted his eyes and questioned, "She's pregnant isn't she?"

Inuyasha face got beat red. It grew more when Souta's gaze grew larger and suddenly blurted, "Whoah! That is so cool! That meanswe're likereal brothers now!"

Kagome was about to laugh but she tried not to. She was about to say no when suddenly Inuyasha started shouting all blushy.

"HELL NO! I just carried her coz' she walks so slow with those feet!"

Then something hit his head. It was a plastic spoon and no one else would have thrown it but Kagome. He turned to her and was about to ask what was that for but it was her turn to shout.

"I didn't ask you to carry me! And I thought you carried me because you wanted to!"

"Now, now….let's just eat before the ramen gets cold."

Inuyasha just had his third bowl and still he wanted to eat more. Souta kept on talking to Inuyasha while Kagome's grandpa looked at him with awe. Inuyasha was eating fast so Kagome's mom cooked for more ramen. Kagome just finished hers and stood up. The three looked at her while she went out the dining area and as she passed by again with a towel and soap on her hand. She was going to take a soothing bath. Bath was one of her favorite things to do to get relaxed.

All of them were still in the dining area except Kagome and her mom who was preparing Souta's room for an extra guest but Inuyasha kept on eating. He hasn't eaten that much in a week though. Grandpa was drinking his favorite green tea and Souta kept his attention to Inuyasha and asked him things about the feudal era and "monsters."

Grandpa kept on sipping, Souta asking and Inuyasha eating. Inuyasha was focused on the ramen but then he stopped when he smelled her sweet aroma closer and closer.

Her scent's so nice…

Kagome passed by the open door wearing only a towel on her body and on her head. Her footsteps on the wooden floor were heard. Grandpa gave a quick glance and continued sipping tea and so did Souta but still kept on asking. But Inuyasha still had his eyes on the opened door even though she wasn't there already. Souta and grandpa looked at him as they noticed him not eating anymore. Grandpa understood but Souta didn't, well not much.

"Inu no nii-chan? Inu no nii-chan!" Souta shouted.

She looked so ho-

"Snap out of it Inuyasha!" This time grandpa shouted.

Inuyasha turned his head slowly. "Huh?"

Grandpa just sighed. Souta didn't get it but he thought Inuyasha wanted to take a bath too. So he stopped and thought.

"Let's take a bath!"
