Chapter 2
Kagome snuggled up in bed and slowly fluttered her eyes open. She remembered what had happened last night and looked around her expecting to see Tika and Inuyasha beside her, but they weren't there. She slowly sat up in bed and looked around the empty room. She got out of bed, grabbed her dressing gown and went down stairs. She looked into the kitchen but they weren't there either. She then looked into the living room and saw the two sitting on the couch watching T.V.. Tika, who was eating a bowl of cereal, looked up and smiled at her then turned her attention back to the T.V. Inuyasha smiled at her and got up and gave her a tender kiss.
"Morning" he said softly.
"Morning. How long have you two been up?" she asked wearily.
"Not long. Tika didn't want to wake so she woke me instead" he moaned quietly. Kagome looked down at Tika who gave her a cheeky smile.
"Do you want some breakfast seeing as the little monkey over there has hers?" Kagome asked Inuyasha.
"Yeah I'm starving" he replied and patted his empty belly. He followed Kagome into the kitchen. She took out two bowls and poured some cereal into one and ramen into the other. They grabbed their bowls and went into the living room and sat on the couch with Tika.
"So Tika did you sleep ok?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah. Your bed is nice and comfy Kagome".
"Yeah it is" Inuyasha said through a mouthful of ramen.
"Good at least you slept. Now I think your mom is coming to pick you up soon, so how about we got get dressed and we can play something before you go" Kagome suggested.
"Yeah!".
"Ok. Come on I'll help you get changed" Kagome said and held out her hand. Tika jumped up and followed her upstairs. Inuyasha stayed down and finished his ramen. He smiled inwardly remembering what happened last night.
"Wow. I can't believe she actually kissed me but does she love me?. I forgot to ask her".
Tika and Kagome got changed and sat on the bed while Kagome brushed Tika's hair.
"Kagome, is Inuyasha your boyfriend?".
"I hope so Tika" she replied.
"I hope so too cus then I get a cool cousin if you get married!" she smiled.
Kagome laughed and continued brushing the girl's hair.
"Tika you don't mind that Inuyasha has different ears to you and me?".
"Nope I think they are cute".
"Ok how about we keep that a secret between you and me. You don't tell anyone about his ears" she said nervously.
"Ok as long as I get to decide what game we play" she said in a matter of fact tone.
"Ok monkey" Kagome laughed and got up off the bed. Tika followed her and ran downstairs into the living room.
"Can we play dress up Inuyasha?" she asked.
"Dress up ?" he asked puzzled.
"Yeah but can we dress up as people from Beauty and The Beast?".
"That thing we watched last night. Ok" he said as he scratched his head.
"Yay. Ok Kagome your Belle, Inuyasha your beast and I'll be the tea pot!" she cheered and ran to tell Kagome. Kagome who was coming down the stairs heard their conversation blushed slightly.
"Now I have my own little match maker".
"Kagome your Belle and Inuyasha will be Beast" she cheered and danced around.
"Ok I guess I have no choice really" she said and shrugged her shoulders.
"We will get Inuyasha ready first cus he can't see you until your ready Kagome" Tika instructed and ran over and pulled Inuyasha off the couch.
"What are you planning on doing with me?" he asked kind of scared at what the youngster had planned.
"Well I think Inuyasha is fine as he is Tika" Kagome said trying to save him.
"Yeah I think he is too. Ok so now I have to get ready. Come on Kagome" she said and dragged Kagome upstairs. Inuyasha stood at the bottom of the stairs trying to figure out what was going on.
Tika ran to get her bag of stuff she brought with her and pulled out a little dress and put it on with Kagome's help. Inuyasha decided to go upstairs and find out what was going on. As he got to the landing Tika came out in her dress and gave out to him.
"Inuyasha you are not allowed see Kagome until she is ready!" she said and pushed him to the top of the staircase.
"Feh I'm going" he huffed and stomped down the stairs.
Tika smiled and ran back into Kagome's room. Kagome was wearing a gorgeous floor length black dress she got for a wedding. It had a dropping back and front but didn't reveal too much. She had black sparkly heels on and a diamond necklace. She twirled around in front of the mirror and smiled at Tika.
"Well I don't look like Belle and the dress isn't yellow but it will do" she smiled and twirled again. Tika stared at her admiringly and then ran up and hugged her.
"Kagome you're the best cousin ever" she smiled.
"Aww thanks Tika you're the best too".
"Ok when I call you, you come downstairs ok" Tika instructed.
"Ok" Kagome nodded and Tika ran down to Inuyasha. He was sitting on the couch waiting and smiled when he saw Tika coming. She ran right past him and grabbed a CD player and put a disc in. She pressed a few buttons and ran over to Inuyasha.
"Ok we are playing Beauty and the Beast and you and Kagome have to dance" she grinned.
Inuyasha blushed and stared at Tika "you aren't kidding are you?".
"Nope. Ok now stand up" she instructed and ran to the bottom of the staircase.
"Kagome ready" she called and ran back to the CD player and pressed play. Kagome stepped out of her room and strutted to the top of the staircase. The song Beauty and the Beast came on and Kagome smiled down at Inuyasha. He was up staring at Kagome as she gathered up the bottom of her dress and walked down the stairs.
"OH my gosh she is beautiful. Tika you are a little genius".
Kagome smiled as she reached the bottom of the stairs and walked over to the waiting Inuyasha. He took her hand and then walked to the middle of the living room and started to dance. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck and slow danced. Tika smiled from behind the couch as they couple danced. Inuyasha smiled down at Kagome and she smiled up at him.
"You look beautiful" he whispered to her.
"Thank you" she whispered back.
"Kagome there is something I have to tell you" he said and looked into her big chocolate eyes.
"Yeah what is it?"
"Kagome..I love you" he whispered.
Kagome smiled up at him "I love you too Inuyasha".
He smiled down at her and leaned in and kissed her on the lips. She smiled into the kiss and deepened it. This was the moment both of them have been waiting for so long and there was no one to interrupt them. They soon broke apart for air and continued dancing. Tika smiled triumphantly and went over to the CD player and pressed stop when it ended. Inuyasha and Kagome smiled over at the little girl and Inuyasha went over and picked her up.
"Kagome doesn't Belle and the Beast tickle the teacup after the dance?" he asked sarcastically.
"No, but Kagome and Inuyasha do tickle Tika" she laughed and they both started to tickle the little girl. Tika squirmed and laughed when Inuyasha put her down on the couch and kept tickling. They were interrupted by a knock on the door and Kagome went to answer it. It was Tika's mom.
"Hi Auntie Yuri" Kagome greeted and hugged her aunt.
"Hello Kagome. You are looking lovely" she said as she looked her up and down.
"Aww thanks we were playing dress up" she said and lead Yuri into the living room.
"Oh hello" she said to Inuyasha.
"Yuri this is Inuyasha he's a friend of mine. He helped me with Tika" she explained.
"Oh hello Inuyasha. I see you were dressing up too. I hope you behaved Tika" Yuri said.
"She was an angel" Kagome smiled.
"That's good. Are you ready to go home missy?" she asked her daughter.
"Do I have to go?" she whimpered with sad eyes.
"Yes honey but you can always come back and visit".
"Ok" she sadly and ran upstairs to get her bag. She came back down and gave Kagome and Inuyasha each a hug.
"I hope you and Kagome get married. Bye" she whispered into Inuyasha's ear.
"I hope so too Tika". "Bye Tika hopefully I'll see you again" he smiled.
"Thanks again Kagome" Yuri smiled and went out.
"Bye" Tika waved to them and followed her mother down the shrine steps.
"I'm going to miss her now" Kagome said sadly " our little matchmaker".
"Yeah but we still have to go home".
"Yeah I guess they are probably waiting for us" she said " I better go take this dress off".
"No leave it on a bit longer" he said and spun her around and placed a kiss on her lips.
"If you insist".
"I do".
Ok it wasn't as good as the one before but anyway it could have worse.
Thanks a million xxxx
