Do as Infinity: Chapter three: Love Stuff

Hours later, Kagome woke up drenched in sweat and screaming bloody murder.

"Kagome-chan, calm down it was just a dream!" Souta shouted in a hurry to calm his sister down as he rushed to her bedside.

Before long he had succeeded and Kagome realized with a start that she was no longer in the segoku-jidai but was instead back in her own room at the higurashi shrine.

"S-Souta?"

"Are you okay, Kagome? You slept a really long time."

Kagome put a hand to her forehead and immediately realized that she must have only dreamt that she had gone back to the feudal era and that she was just missing her friends so much so that her subconscious had tried to placate her with a realistic dream.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little hungry." Trying to hide her embarrassment at having woken up so noisily, Kagome threw back the covers to her bed and headed downstairs to the kitchen.

"Are you sure you're alright? Inuyasha said her found you passed out in the warring stated period before he brought you home…" Kagome drowned out the rest of what Souta was saying and paused in the act of going down the stairs to stare at her brother as he kept talking "…Houjo-kun was really disappointed that you couldn't go to the beach with them."

"What did you say?"

"Houjo-kun was dis-"

"No, before that."

"Mom made omelets for-"

"Before that! After you asked if I was alright again."

"Inuyasha brought you…home." Before Souta had an opportunity to finish his sentence, Kagome had dashed down the rest of the stairs and out of the house towards the well.

The elated feeling that Kagome had received when she had heard that Inuyasha had brought her home vanished when she saw that the well was still blocked off.

Marching back to the house she begun to devise several creative ways in which to murder her brother for getting her hopes up.

"Souta you lying little rat, get in the kitchen n-"

Kagome stopped midsentance as she walked into the kitchen and saw someone slurping ramen at the kitchen table.

"Oh, good morning Kagome, dear. Did you sleep well?" Kagome's mother asked going unnoticed as she washed dishes, oblivious to the shell shocked state that her eldest child was currently experiencing.

"I-Inuyasha…"Said Hanyou looked up from his bowl of ramen distractedly as Kagome rushed to him and threw her arms around his neck, collapsing into a sobbing heap in his lap.

"K-Kagome-"

"How in the world did you get here when the well is blocked off!"

"Kagome…"

"Why haven't you visited Sango and Miroku and the others? They're all really worried about you!"

"Kagome."

"I've been so worried about you! I missed you so much!"

"Kagome!" Having finally been stopped in her rant, the miko looked up at Inuyasha confused

"What?"

"You're strangling me."

There was a moment of silence where they both just looked at each other before Kagome stood up and let him go.

"Er…Kagome?"

"OSUWARI!"

SLAM

"Gah!"

"Ah, young love." Higurashi-san commented as her daughter stormed out of the kitchen, leaving Inuyasha embedded in the kitchen floor.

"Stupid hanyou. I can't believe I actually pinned for him for two years and he doesn't even ask me how I've been or say 'I missed you, Kagome' or 'I've been so lost without you Kagome.' Or 'I don't want you to ever leave me Kagome!' Sheesh, what a jerk!"

Kagome slammed her bedroom door and with sudden inspiration snatched her cell phone from her desk and sent a quick text message to Houjo asked for him to come and pick her up in order to follow her original plan of going to the beach.

After getting a conformation in the positive Kagome begun packing her suitcase when Inuyasha burst into her room with an agitated snarl on his face.

"Just what do you think you're doing Inuyaha!" The silver-haired hanyou crossed the room in two long strides and took Kagome swiftly into his arms.

"I'm sorry Kagome, I didn't mean to the insensitive prick that I always am but I've going completely insane not having you with me for these past years. You have no clue what its been like waking up every morning and going to bed every night without having gazed upon your beautiful face."

"Oh, Inuyasha." Kagome sighed and closed her, prepared to stay in that position forever when suddenly Inuyasha dropped to one knee.

"Higurashi Kagome, I don't ever want to be without you again. I never want you to leave my side. Will you make me the happiest hanyou in the universe and become my wife?"

"Oh of course Inuyasha!" after receiving the answer he'd desperately wished for Inuyasha stood up and pushed Kagome's suitcase off her bed, scooping her into his arms and replacing the suitcase with its owner on the bed. "Oh, Inuyasha but we're not married yet!"

"I don't care. I want you now Kagome, I've wanted you since I first saw you and not because you look exactly like Kikyou but because you're the most beautiful creature I've ever met." A delicate blush crossed Kagome's cheeks

"Alright, but please…be gentle."

And he was, throughout the night and for the next fifty years.'

The End...

"Kagome…Kagome are you listening to me!" Inuyasha asked, his snarl turning into a low growl as she ignored him for about five whole minutes

"…Huh?" She asked, coming out of her day dream and staring at the half-demon standing in her doorway,

"I asked you why you did that. I haven't done anything wrong!"

"Oh, that.' She remembered that she was still upset at him "We haven't seen each other in two years and all you can say is that I'm strangling you! What the hell is wrong with you!"

"I couldn't breathe!"

"So what!"

"So I should have just died instead of making you let me go!"

"Yes!"

"Well forget it 'cause I won't ever die for something as stupid as that!"

"Well maybe you should just die period!"

"Oh yeah? Well maybe I should have just let that centipede eat you!"

"It would have better than having to see your stupid face again!"

"Oh really? What was that you said in the kitchen? 'I've missed you so much Inuyasha!' I believe it was"

"That was temporary insanity!"

"Who ever said insanity was temporary!"

"Uh-excuse me?" Souta said tentatively at the door, deathly afraid to interrupt the two combatants who were nose to nose in their ire.

"WHAT!" They both demanded to know

"Uh-Houjou-kun is outside waiting for you, Kagome."

"Its about time!" Kagome exclaimed as she grabbed her suitcase and marched out of the room.

"Where do you think you're going!" Inuyasha asked, grabbing a hold of Kagome's arm only to have her snatch it away.

"I'm going to the beach with my friends for summer break, not that its any of your business!"

"No, you're not! We have a job to do!"

"What job! The shikon no tama is gone and I no longer have any obligation to tolerate you." She spun around on her heel and strode down the hall.

"That's what I've been trying to tell you, the shikon no tama-"

"I don't want to hear it anymore! You can't control my life and there's no reason for us to ever see each other again after this moment so, it's been swell, but goodbye!"

Inuyasha listened to her diatribe as she stomped down the stairs and out to Houjou's car.

"Wow, you're really inept at getting the job done aren't you?" Inuyahsa looked to his left to see the redheaded girl that Sesshoumaru had been fighting the day before. "Just like Grandpa said you were."

"What was I supposed to do! She left!"

"So then, mutt, what would the next logical step be?"

Inuyasha descended the stairs, snarling under his breath as he prepared to follow Kagome to the beach.

"Quit following me, Asame, I'll go get Kagome and help you guys but you have to hold up your end of the bargain too." Asame chuckled.

"You know perfectly well that Okami are physically incapable of lying. We'll keep our end provided you get Higurashi to help."

"Feh." Inuyasha replied before he took to the air to follow Kagome.
