Sorry it took so long for me to update! I've been busy working on another story. You guys should really make my day and check it out. Anyways here's the next chapter! –Ainsley
Inuyasha sighed as he stroked Kagome's hair, she had fallen asleep a little under an hour ago and he finally had the chance to think. 'She said she loves me' he thought as he played with a wavy black strand of her hair. He thought back on the past two hours.
He collapsed onto her chest and she pulled on his hair. She started giggling and kissing his head. He lifted his head to look at her and she kissed his nose, "what's got you so excited kagome?" She giggled again, "Because I love you!" he was flabbergasted. What inspired her to say that? He gazed into her glossy eyes, still filled with passion and lust, she was smiling up at him, and he could tell in that moment that she really meant it. He wanted to say it back more than anything in the world, in that moment he loved Kagome more than he had ever loved anything in his life. He was about to open his mouth, he was about to say those three words that would change everything, when Kagome's face turned a sickly pale green. He didn't even have time to move before she threw up everywhere. There they sat together on the floor both covered in Kagome's vomit. He wanted to feel disgusted and annoyed and shove her away from him, but at the moment all he felt was love and sympathy for the groaning girl. "I feel like shit." She wailed as she held her stomach. She began to gag and Inuyasha quickly scooped her up and brought her to the bathroom. He held her hair as she drunkenly threw up in his toilet. After what felt like hours, she slowly raised her head and groaned. Inuyasha turned and turned on the shower, realizing they both desperately needed to rinse off. He scooped Kagome up and sat her on the bench in his shower. She slumped against the wall and he sighed in annoyance. 'Just what I need. She passed out.' He rinsed off his body and stood her up to rinse her off. He reminded himself to never let Kagome get drunk again. He shut off the water and dried them off. He walked them to his bed, not even bothering to dress either one of them. He huffed as he collapsed onto the bed next to her. She sighed and curled up against his chest, "Thanks Inuyasha." She kissed his chest and fell asleep.
Inuyasha smiled, the girl threw up on him, covered him head to toe in liquor and bile, and he still wanted nothing more than to be curled up next to her. He subconsciously pulled her closer to his chest. He was deep in thought. He had almost said he loved her, he let that thought sink in. Did he love Kagome? He thought about how for the past month now he wanted nothing more than to be in Kagome's company. He wanted to make her laugh and see her smile. He never wanted her to cry again like he saw her earlier, he wanted to make her happy. He wanted to give her all the gifts in the world and have children with her. Why did it take him so long to realize what she meant to him? He glanced down at her sleeping face. She looked so peaceful and serene, he kissed her forehead. 'But what about Kikyo?' He felt that thought nagging in the back of his mind. He wanted to forget Kikyo in that moment. He wanted to lay there in the bed with Kagome for the rest of his life and never think of Kagome again. But he couldn't hurt Kikyo like that, he cared for her too. He no longer wanted to be with her, but he had seen how happy she had become over the past few weeks. He knew he was the cause for that, and he didn't want to shatter her happiness, even if it meant sacrificing his own. He glanced at the clock next to the bed, it was 5:30 a.m. he had to be at work soon. He slowly pulled himself from the bed, so as to not wake Kagome. He pulled on his work pants and a new t-shirt. His pants were salvageable, but his shirt was covered in throw up leaving it unwearable. He had to go back to his house to get some files from his at home office. He groaned, he did not want to see Kikyo at the moment.
Inuyasha arrived home right before Kikyo awoke. She yawned and stretched wondering where her husband was. She couldn't remember if he had ever come to bed. Their relationship had become strange, he would say he still wanted to be with her, but rarely gave her the time of day. He swore he was happy, but was hardly ever home. He gave her gifts, but he didn't even realize that the flowers he bought her were not her favorite. And he had gotten her a necklace with a different birth stone than her own, she thought of it as a simple mistake and chose not to dwell. Still in the back of her mind she knew something was wrong. Inuyasha burst into their bedroom at the moment, hardly giving her a glance. He walked into the bathroom and slammed the door shut. She figured something was troubling him, and she wanted to investigate. "Inuyasha, dear? What's the problem? I didn't hear you come to bed last night is everything okay?" he was in the shower, his silver hair wet and sticking to his back. "Everything's fine Kikyo. I've just been busy, you know how it is." She sighed, of course she knew how it was, Inuyasha was never relaxed, never was something not wrong, and never would he actually tell her what was bothering him. "Okay dear, I'll see you for breakfast. She walked out of the bathroom and wrapped her robe around her. She scaled the stairs and arrived to the kitchen. She figured she would make his favorite, since he seemed extremely frazzled that morning. She hummed a soft tune as she pulled out some eggs and bread.
Inuyasha stepped into his office to grab his files, once he retrieved them he was ready to bolt from the house. Not wanting to confront Kikyo until he got things sorted out for himself. He scooped up the things he needed and went to walk out the door. As he grabbed the doorknob Kikyo walked out of the kitchen, "Wait! I made your favorite for breakfast. At least take it with you, for my peace of mind." He smiled softly, only he could be forced to choose between two amazing women like Kagome and his wife. He grabbed the bundle of food she had wrapped up for him and he headed out the door. "Have a nice day." She smiled and shut the door behind him.
Kikyo sat around the house, it was noon and she hadn't done a thing the whole day. She groaned, her and Inuyasha were supposed to be making babies, not spending time at the office and being bored out of their minds. Her treatment hadn't just caused her to be fertile, but extremely horny as well. She growled in frustration, and decided she needed to find something to do. She decided maybe laundry would suffice for a while. The clothes had piled up and since she had stopped going into work she fired the maid. This soon led her to gathering clothes from every hamper in the house. She arrived in her and Inuyasha's bedroom, she gathered clothes from the wicker basket against the wall. She was about to walk out until she eyed Inuyasha's clothes from earlier on the bathroom floor. She giggled, Inuyasha was so messy. She sat down her laundry basket and picked up the clothes. A tiny clatter sounded when she rose with his pants. She looked below her in curiosity. Something shiny had fallen out of Inuyasha's pocket. She tossed his clothes down and got down on her knees to see what it was. It had rolled below the sink and she reached under to pick it up. It was a wedding band, and it wasn't Inuyasha's.
