Stolen

Chapter 8

- -

Kagome was startled by the sound of a hammering on the outside of her window. She sat up hurriedly, fully awake and aware of the rain. She looked around the dark room and could make out a few dim figures of furniture. She pulled the blanket up to her chin as a blinding light slashed across the room, and a roar of thunder echoed after it. Kagome muffled a scream and jumped out of her bed, childishly becoming frightened of all those horror movies she had seen.

She reached feebly for her watch which lay on her bedside table, and stared into the dark hoping to make out the tiny hands on the small device. Another flash of lightning caused Kagome to clumsily drop her watch.

Cursing under her breath she ran out her bedroom into the empty corridor which was just as shadowy and menacing. Not stopping for a second, she scampered over to where Inuyasha's room was, shakily opening his door and jumping into his bed.

Inuyasha, scared out of his wits by someone suddenly jumping into his bed, sat up abruptly and fell off the bed.

A bodily thump was heard when he crashed onto the floor.

"What the hell!" He yelled, peering over from the side of the bed.

Noticing Kagome he stood up and sat back down on the bed, rubbing his aching head.

"Goddammit Inuyasha don't play around!" She squealed, burying herself in his bed covers.

A loud growl of thunder caused Kagome to scream and cover herself further in blankets.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha asked concernedly.

She emerged from within the blankets and gave him an upset look.

"What?!" She yelled at him, throwing her arms up in a frustrated manner.

He laughed at her, she was acting so funny, and he just couldn't help it. He clutched onto his stomach as he laughed hysterically.

"So what? Okay. Okay. I'm freakin' scared of thunder! Happy you jerk!" She screamed childishly.

Inuyasha continued to laugh. Kagome picked up a pillow and hit him on the chest with it.

"What's wrong with you?! You're so horrible!" She shouted, hitting him several times with the pillow.

"Your supposed to be nice to me, you're my freakin' boyfriend!!"

"Hey! Hey!" Inuyasha said, raising his hands and trying to pry the pillow away from her.

Suddenly, he tickled her until she let go of the "supposed weapon."

Kagome laughed and tried to get up, but he had her pinned down.

"Man! You're heavy Inuyasha!"

"What was that?" He said playfully, refusing to let her go.

"Argh, you meanie!" She yelled.

"Huh?"

There was another sudden thrash of lightning, causing Kagome to jump up and bury herself in Inuyasha's chest, gripping onto his shirt.

Man, she really is scared.

"Kagome?" He asked, taking her in his arms.

When Kagome finally surfaced, she muttered somewhat of a "Can I stay here tonight?"

Inuyasha paused, unsure if he had heard her right; but then catching her staring at him pleadingly he nodded shyly.

Kagome immediately jumped into the covers, probably scared to catch another flash of light. Inuyasha sat there, baffled, what was he going to do?

What the-

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked quietly, but enough to snap Inuyasha out of his stare.

"Oh yeah." He replied, quickly playing cool and sliding into the blanket with her.

Kagome instantly moved closer to him, hugging him around the waist and swiftly drifting off to a deep sleep; Inuyasha lay there tense and completely over his head.

God dammit! I'm actually lying in the same bed as Kagome! This is way too far out of my comfort zone. ARGH He screamed mentally.

Listen to you He argued inwardlyto himself your like a kid.

He sighed, turning onto his side to face Kagome; he poked her lightly on the arm to check if she was awake, but no hope. He wasn't going to get out of this one easily.

Shrugging off his discomfort, he hugged Kagome back, edging his face inches away from hers and closing his eyes to get some sleep. The last he heard was the simultaneous steady breathing of both him and Kagome.

A bright, warm light shone onto Kagome's skin; and thinking it was another typical day, she snuggled deeper into her pillow. But something felt different, without opening her eyes she traced what she was hugging with her delicate fingers. It felt more like a person than anything else, to be more precise, it felt like Inuyasha.

ARGH! Wha-

She listened into the silence and her suspicions were justified when she heard his soft breathing.

Upon hearing his breathing, she cold feel its warmth on her neck, indicating just where he was.

Kagome opened her eyes slowly, and there he was, lying just right next to her. She sighed as she remembered the events of the previous night.

She almost squealed as Inuyasha's grip around her waist tightened, but she just smiled at him. Maybe he was dreaming.

Kagome placed a hand on his cheek, moving her thumb softly to feel his skin and then pushing a strand of hair from out of his eyes. She drew her hand away quickly when he stirred, unaware that she was flushing into a cute pink.

At last, his eyes opened, almost immediately meeting with her gaze and causing Kagome to melt into him. She had been in love with those eyes as long as she could remember.

Those golden deep orbs.

"G' Morning" He slurred sleepily.

"Morning" She replied cheerily.

He laughed.

"Your blushing." He pointed out, cupping her face in his hands.

"A lot," He continued.

She gasped in embarrassment, covering up her face with her hands, "Am not!"

"Are to."

"Am not!"

"Are definitely to."

"Nooo!"

He laughed again, "Then why are you trying to cover it up."

She emerged from behind hiding, "I'm defeated."

Inuyasha smirked at his victory. She almost lost herself again, that smirk.

Noticing her supposedly 'enjoying' the smirk, he flashed another one before leaning in to kiss her.

But before they could actually kiss, there was a loud scream from downstairs followed by the sound of a painful slap and a clatter.

Inuyasha and Kagome blushed slightly as they pulled away, their moment interrupted. Kagome sighed secretly and hopped off the bed. Inuyasha was close on pursue, he took her hand in his as they made their way to the kitchen.

Inuyasha heard a girly giggle as he took his coffee in his hands and took a sip. Putting the mug down he saw Kagome sitting next to him, laughing.

"What?" He asked defensively.

"You're too cute." She said, directing to his morning mess of hair and how sleepy he looked.

"Shut up." He answered poking her playfully.

He took a sneaky glance over at her from the corner of his eye; he didn't want her to know that he stared at her. She looked so beautiful even when she had just woken up and not bothered to fix herself up. But she didn't have to know that he thought that.

Smug bastard.

"I know you're looking Inuyasha." She said, smiling to herself.

"Damn you." He replied under his breath, getting up and giving her a swift kiss on the cheek.

"Yeah. I love you too." She said before heading upstairs for a shower.

Inuyasha saw her leaving and ran after her like a lost puppy, stopping her in her tracks.

"Dress nice, we're going out." He told her, hugging her tightly.

"Why are you so suspicious? AGAIN!"

"Ahhh nothing really."

Kagome threw him an 'as-if' look and he surrendered.

"Okay! I just wanna talk." He continued.

"Right." She answered, and turning back to the stairway.

"It better be good." Kagome said before moving out of sight.

Inuyasha smiled at her attitude, but he couldn't wait. He had a patience problem.

"Don't worry, it will be!" He called after her before going to get ready.

Better make this good Inuyasha! He told himself.
