Together the two headed down stairs, Kagome being extra careful with his arm. Normally he would have major issues with someone babying him like she was but…it was Kagome. She was touching him, holding on to him, so he figured he could let it slide for now.
"By the way," he started as she helped him down the stairs. It wasn't that he really needed help but it was rather nice to have Kagome's arms wrapped around his waist as she tried to steady him so he didn't fall over, "You've been promoted."
Kagome's right eyebrow rose, "Oh really?"
He feigned a fall as her arms wrapped around him even tighter, "Yeah, we are temporarily lacking a third of my normal building so a third of the work force is being transferred to Sesshomaru's house. The other two thirds will stay here and continue their duties with a few…changes. There is of course the fact that I was shot though. The doctors say I should have someone with me at all times. Congratulations, you are my new personal servant."
"…You're joking right?" was all she could manage as they reached the bottom steps.
"No, I'm rather serious. We are temporarily down grading our staff and increasing the workload of the ones that we are keeping," he finished while he sat down in a chair.
"But…all we do is fight," she argued.
Inuyasha shook his head, "Only when you don't do what I tell you to do."
Inuyasha's logic was not making sense to Kagome, "All we'll do is fight."
"Are you saying you plan on disobeying me? Outright? I am shocked Kagome, I thought you would at least try to cover it up," he laughed while reaching for the cold cereal left on the table. It was soggy since it had been sitting there since about 5:30 this morning while he was waiting for her.
"No, I just know my temper," she again tried while she took the bowl out of his hands, poured him a new one with fresh milk.
He immediately took the bowl, "Sucks for you."
Kagome aimlessly walked towards Rin's room in hopes of checking in on the girl. The pill that she had given Rin was strong but was meant for an adult immune system. Hopefully Rin was taking the medication alright. The last things she wanted were adverse reactions.
Kagome again glanced around her shoulder to make sure a certain someone wasn't following her. The man was like a mosquito, did he ever take a break? She had officially been back for three hours and this was the first time he had let her out of his sight, and that was only because he was taking a nap.
Slowly she opened the door as she peered inside. Kaede sat there with a book in her hand as she rocked back and forth on the rocking chair she must have pulled from another room. Kagome, deciding to brave it, stepped in. Upon closer inspection she saw that Rin was still asleep.
"Hello child, I was wondering when you would be in to see Rin," said Kaede while never taking her eyes off her book.
"I heard about the poison and wanted to check in on her," Kagome walked up to the bed and sat down on the edge. Carefully, and discreetly she placed her hand over Rin's in an attempt to take the girls pulse without pulling out a stethoscope.
"The medicine you gave her is working," continued Kaede without missing a beat in her rocking.
"Oh that's…did you just say my medicine?" said a stunned Kagome. She immediately turned to Kaede who was still glancing at her book. There was no way this woman knew who she was. There was no way, Kagome had let nothing about her identity slip. The only thing that could be considered a mishap was the Ayame incident which she had covered up. Kagome momentarily racked her brain for instances she might have either missed or miss calculated.
"You are just like her…that is how I knew," spoke Kaede as she placed the book down on her lap. Her rocking stopped as she pierced Kagome's soul with her gaze.
"How long have you known?" asked Kagome while squeezing onto Rin's hand even tighter, now no longer checking for a pulse. She had never before been caught on a job, let alone one so important.
"Since the moment you walked in I recognized you for who you were. Your mannerisms, your cooking, your compassion, it is all there," smiled Kaede.
"Yet you have let me stay here this long?" asked Kagome as her skepticism made itself present. If Kaede had known who she was, then why hadn't she ousted her? Why was she still here? And why was Kaede telling Kagome now of all times? There had to be more the story.
"…You are good for Inuyasha, as I knew you would be. He has been in an emotional rut for so long, I figured that being who you are you could pull him out of it. While you are not Midoriko, you are similar in how you perceive the world, comfort and protect others. You would be similar enough to his mother for him to at least give you a second glance but different enough to recognize you as a very different person," she finished while glancing at Rin.
"I see… even after all these years you continue to protect him," sighed Kagome as she too glanced at Rin. It seemed the girl was the only point in the room that did not make her feel uncomfortable.
"I did not know that you were the one to raise Rin though…" whispered Kaede.
Kagome couldn't help but let loose a smile as she slid cautiously onto the floor. Her knees gracefully reached the ground as she rested her head and her arms on Rin's mattress, "I remember the first day we found out about her. Sesshomaru had been a cold hearted mess for so long and Inuyasha was…lonelier that he would ever admit. The mother was going to get an abortion seeing as how she didn't think Sesshomaru would give her any money for the unborn kid. We saw the opportunity though. We paid that whore five million to stay clean and give birth to Rin. We provided her with a sterile house, which was closely monitored of course, no outside contact aside from us and a perfectly balanced diet. The woman couldn't do anything we didn't approve of, which was very little. After the birth she left knowing that if she ever told anyone about us we'd kill her on sight."
Kagome continued to stare at the little girl who was breathing softly, "A year of diapers, formula and work. There were three of us and we still had to wonder how single mothers did it. I have to say, this little girl touched all of us."
"Are you," started Kaede, but she stopped in order to process the situation. She wasn't sure if she could handle the answer if it wasn't the one she wanted, "Are you going to take her back?"
Kagome's smile faded just in the slightest, "No…but don't think we didn't consider it."
"The boys-"
Kagome cut off her attempt at an explanation with an authoritative voice, "-Will be them. No matter the revelation Sesshomaru is having now he will always be his work till everything is perfect self. Eventually old patterns will resurface. I have watched people long enough to know that human's are creatures of habit. He will neglect her, and he will isolate her."
"But you are letting her stay here?" asked Kaede, unsure of whether the question would make Kagome change her mind.
Kagome turned her head to the side in order to look at the wall facing Kaede. Her gaze seemed dazed as she spoke, "We all love Rin very much and we decided that although Sesshomaru has his issues, there are worse Rin could be stuck with. The real issue with Rin isn't even Sesshomaru if you can believe that. She doesn't have a female role model. She doesn't have someone to teach her to stand up to her father when he gets like that. She doesn't have anyone to cry to about her life so instead she harbors those feelings and lets them grow, unaware that they are even there."
"Do you plan on matchmaking Sesshomaru now?" asked Kaede with a slight laugh.
Kagome giggled, "No, Sesshomaru doesn't need anyone nagging on him more than he already does. There are some people in the world who just…don't really want or need someone like that in their lives. He is content with a daughter and a wife would offset that balance."
"So what are you going to do about Rin?" asked Kaede, truly wanting to know.
"…We're working on that. She just needs some form of a strong female that she can relate to in her life. It doesn't have to be a mother, but at least someone." Kagome turned her attention back towards Kaede, "Why are you confronting me now? There were plenty of times you could have."
Kaede smiled, "I want to know there real reason you are here."
Kagome smiled, "Oh…that's a secret."
"No clues?"
Kagome's smile grew even bigger, "No clues, but I promise you it is for Inuyasha's benefit."
Kagome was hungry, she was very hungry but…he was looking for her. She had found a great spot to hide, in the garden of course but…she was going to have to leave it. Kagome looked down at her growling stomach, "Shh…you're not hungry you just think you are. Mind over matter."
Kagome looked down at her phone. Maybe she could text Sango to bring her something.
Sango sat in the dining room chair as a golden pair of eye's bore holes into her skull.
"Where is she Sango?" asked Inuyasha.
Sango looked around the room for some type of escape plan. Forget Germany, this guy's interrogation techniques were killer, "Who?"
"Kagome, she's been missing for three hours," he said while crossing his arms.
Sango felt herself gulp. Where the hell did such a party animal get an intimidating glare like that? What did he do practice it in the mirror? A look like that could break the damn thing in fright.
"Kagome? Kagome who?" she tried, only to realize how guilty that made her look.
"Come on Inuyasha, so Kagome went for a walk. She'll be back," tried Miroku from the other side of the room.
"Went for a walk while we have crazy killers coming after us? How do you know they won't try to use her as leverage next time? Or maybe Sango? Or Rin? Or Kaede?" growled Inuyasha while shooting down his best friends attempt at calming him.
Miroku turned towards Sango, "When this is done you are to assist me as my in house assistant today."
Sango's mouth dropped, "Listen here, I don't do offices alright. I do things that go boom, not paper pushing!"
"Reflecting the question, where is Kagome? Last chance before I tell him what room number is yours," came the very real threat.
Suddenly they all stopped as a small beeping sound radiated through the room.
"What was that?" asked Miroku.
"Nothing!" yelled Sango as she tried to sit up only to be pushed back down again by Inuyasha's steady grip on her shoulder.
"A bomb?" asked Miroku while he checked under the table.
"A bomb! Yes, they are attacking. Everyone evacuate," tried Sango once again only to fail as he pulled a hot pink flip phone out of her pocket.
He smiled, "Hey look, you do know where she is."
Kagome looked down at her phone as it beeped, signaling Sango's reply, "Inuyasha had an emergency at office, kitchen is clear."
With not even a hint of laziness in her steps she rushed out of the garden past the gate and into the house. She was starving, she hadn't eaten since yesterday at lunch and she wanted her food. Ayame had came before she could eat dinner, the clubs really don't serve anything edible and breakfast was offset by the whole convincing Bank to let her return thing.
The swinging door that was so familiar to her suddenly appeared as she made her way down the hall. With an easy push she opened the door and went immediately towards the fridge. Waiting for her on the top shelf was her almost dinner from last night. It was a turkey sandwich with the works all on a homemade croissant roll.
Life was good.
As soon as she put the treat towards her mouth, ready to take a bite that was far larger than manners dictated, someone reached forward and pulled the meal out of her grip. Kagome blinked as the sandwich disappeared from sight. She spun around on her heals to yell at the person stupid enough the between her and her meal, only to see a dark gray muscle shirt in her face. Under the shirt was the chest of a man with white bandages on his shoulder. Kagome could feel the smugness rolling off of him as her own eyes closed in misery. When she reopened them Kagome slowly let her gaze drip upward only to be met with amused and mocking golden eyes that were locked with her own.
Inuyasha smirked as he pulled the sandwich towards his own mouth and took a bite. After he was done chewing he smiled, "Hello Kagome."
Kagome rolled her head so she was looking up at the ceiling, her eyes closed as she sighed a defeated breath.
"Let's get to work, shall we?" stated Inuyasha, because it really wasn't a question at all. He gently grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the kitchen and towards his office where an ungodly amount of paperwork was waiting for him.
He sat down in his more than comfortable chair and placed her right next to him in the chair on the other side of the desk. Kagome glanced at the sandwich he had placed on the piece of paper next to him.
"Promise you won't run off?" he asked without looking up.
"No," she argued while crossing her arms.
"Then no food for the hungry Kagome," he reached over to take another bite, "Unless you're willing to give me a kiss of course."
Kagome glared, "I should sue you for unworkable conditions and starving your employee's."
"But you would lose and you know it. Then you would be caught with all the bills associated with a frivolous case like that."
The bastard took another bite out of her meal.
Her stomach growled.
"Fine, I promise not to run away gain for the rest of the day," she said childishly while crossing her legs and glaring at the wall. She refused to even meet his gaze.
"One day's not good enough, aside from it almost being over. I want the whole rest of the week," he said while crossing out a line that he apparently didn't like.
"…You suck."
He turned his attention back towards her as he pushed the plate closer and closer to her. God, it was sitting right in front of her now, practically calling to her. She could see the juicy sauces flowing over the sides, dripping just slightly. The bread had the perfect amount of flakiness to it and…and…" It's like you were born to be an-"
"Ass?" he smirked, "Why yes, I do have a pretty fine one."
Kagome was caught off guard with that, but eventually decided it would be best not to retaliate. The man was on a mission and she was beginning to think he was going to win.
Her stomach growled once again, "If I eat that…I just have to follow you around?"
"Until I say otherwise," he again crossed out another paragraph.
"No tricks?"
He looked up, again the smirk was back and she knew she wasn't going to like whatever it was he was about to say, "I was thinking, Shippo probably doesn't get to eat anything besides hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, chips, maybe barbeque or sour cream and cheddar, possible some popcorn-"
"Damit Inuyasha!" she yelled while glaring at him.
"Maybe we should take him back out or something. Maybe around old town with all those nice restaurants. There is even an ice skating rink we could take him to. I bet he's never gone," he finished.
"S-stop being all nice and talking about Shippo! Your suppose to be an ass who is starving me!" she yelled.
"So you've been looking at it then?" he asked amusedly. Kagome could swear she saw a playful twinkle in his eyes.
"Looking at what?" she asked confusedly.
"My ass of course. You seem to like the topic a lot."
"I-I-" was really all she could manage at the moment.
"I-Inuyasha?" asked a familiar voice as the office door was slowly pushed open.
Kagome craned her head to the side to see Shippo step into the room. Her gaze immediately went back towards Inuyasha. Inuyasha stood, "Hey Shippo, you ready for our trip?"
Shippo beamed, "You mean that we really get to go?"
Inuyasha scooped the kid up in his arms as he glanced towards Kagome, "As long as Kagome is willing to follow my rules."
Shippo turned towards her and pleaded. His eye's went round and even began to water a little bit, "Kagome, you have to follow Inuyasha's rules or else we can't go."
Kagome could not believe the situation. Inuyasha did not just turn Shippo against her. He was not allowed to do that. It was just, well, wrong. "I-"
"You wouldn't want Shippo to be stuck here all day because of you Kagome, now would you?" Inuyasha was again laughing at her. He didn't actually have to laugh in order for Kagome to feel it radiating off of him.
Eventually, after a bit of disbelief, she sighed in defeat, "When do we leave?"
Inuyasha put Shippo down, "You gonna follow the rules?"
She huffed and stomped her foot, "I'll follow your stupid rules as long as you two never gang up on me again."
Inuyasha smirked, "Like I'm really going to promise that."
Kaede looked out the window as Inuyasha sped off into the evening, two passengers in his car. The woman looked back over at the sleeping Rin, a female role model huh? Well, Kagome certainly fit that category. Maybe the woman could pull a Widow and…stick around.
Kagome was desperately holding onto Inuyasha's arm as Shippo fell face first in front of her, "Careful Shippo."
The boy immediately stood up and dusted the ice off of him, "I'm alright."
He was immediately back to racing around the ice track.
Kagome turned towards Inuyasha, "I cannot believe you closed down the rink."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he let Kagome hold on tighter. Even though it hurt to have her grip so tight on his wounded arm, he wasn't about to say anything. The woman had a death grip on him and he was surprised to say that he wouldn't want it any other way. "I can't believe you don't know how to ice skate."
Kagome stuck out her tongue as she tried to move on her own, only to trip and land back into Inuyasha's awaiting arms, "Would you just shut up. I never did it as a kid okay."
Inuyasha pushed her a little bit, this way, instead of being side by side, she was in the front of him by only a few inches. His large hands were gently wrapped around her tiny waist and it took all of Inuyasha's strength from pulling her back towards him, giving him full body contact. He could just imagine what it would feel like. Her whole body would be pressed up against his own. Back to front. Seeing as how he was at least a head taller than her he would be at the perfect height to nuzzle his nose into her hair, taking in all that is Kagome. Knowing her, she'd probably stutter at the unexpected contact. Kagome gave off an air of confidence but when you really got to know her, it was obvious displays of any type of affection was not something she was used to.
"You're not going to drop me are you?" asked Kagome hurriedly.
Inuyasha was temporarily pulled out of his thoughts, "Hardly. You'd fall, then you'd make me fall. Not worth the look on your face."
Kagome tried to turn around to punch him but her toe pick became stuck and she instead tripped into his arms. In one fowl sweep Inuyasha was holding her like a newlywed. Her back was pressed up against his injured arm and her legs were being held in his other one. Inuyasha smiled when he saw the look of shock on her face, the very face that was only inches from his own.
"Polly want a kiss?" he tried.
Kagome immediately leaped out of his arms, effectively landing butt first on the icy ground when doing so.
"Little birdie shy?" he again tried.
She growled, "Little birdie doesn't like being molested."
He reached down to grab her hand and pulled her up on her feet. It really was amusing watching her. Add the fact that she doesn't know how to ice skate and his day was made…aside from the bombing incident. This was Kagome after all, it was like there wasn't anything she couldn't do. Before she could react, or his arm could protest, she was back in his arms through a quick yank.
Her face was pressed into his chest and he could feel the contours of her body mold up against his own. It felt heavenly. "Maybe it's not molestation, maybe its infatuation."
"Infatuation leaves," she tried to argue as she looked up at him with her big and bright eyes. She hadn't even noticed that he had started skating, or that she had matched his rhythm. "You've just never been turned down before and now you just have to have me."
"Not true, I was turned down most my life. That was until I was about sixteen and was suddenly graced with my growth spurt and good looks," he combated.
"Like I'm going to believe that," she said while rolling her eyes. Kagome was caught up in the conversation that she didn't even realize when she tripped, still skating backwards, and Inuyasha steadied her.
"Believe what you want, but it's true. I may be a partier but it's only because I never found anyone who made me want to stay home."
"You are such a flirt," she sighed.
"Kagome! Inuyasha!" yelled Shippo as he skated up to them. "You guys are skating backwards! I wanna do that!"
Kagome cocked her head to the side and then looked down at her feet. They were moving in rhythm with Inuyasha. Her eye's brightened as she looked back up at Inuyasha, "I'm skating! Backwards!"
In an instant she was jumping and latching onto Inuyasha. She had never even been able to manage a whole ring around the park before and here she was, skating backwards! True, it was totally because she was holding onto Inuyasha but who the hell cares. When she told this story to the others that part was being left out. Kagome quickly reached up and gave Inuyasha a quick kiss on the cheek, catching a little bit of the corner of his mouth as she again squealed in delight.
Inuyasha, to shocked to really do anything right now was on cloud nine. She had kissed him. He couldn't even explain how sweet the taste was. He had the distinct urge to run his tongue over the corner of his mouth just to see if she tasted as good as she smelled. Absentmindedly he did so, only to close his eyes at the wonderful feeling.
"Inuyasha, your gonna-" came Shippo's voice.
Kagome was suddenly thrown into his chest and they both made a loud 'umph' noise upon impact. By the time he opened his eyes he could feel the cold from the ice making its way up through his back. His top half though was warm, and had a slight and unfamiliar amount of pressure on it.
Inuyasha's eyes blinked repeatedly as he took in their surroundings. It was then that Inuyasha took in the situation. He was laying on the ice. Kagome was laying on top of him. Why were they wearing clothes again? Her face was maybe an inch away from his own and he had the sudden urge to pull her mouth into the timeless dance perfected by the French. But he knew they had an audience of one, and that one was a little boy. So instead of kissing her, because he knew that if he started he would never be able to stop, he spoke his mind. "Heaven is a nice place."
Kagome's mouth turned upwards just a little bit and he saw her confused features turn into a smile. Slowly her smile became bigger as she started to giggle. Eventually she calmed down and buried herself deeper into the crook of Inuyasha's warm neck.
Inuyasha placed his good hand behind her back and moved into an upward sitting position. Now he only sat on the ice, Kagome's legs straddled around his waist. Inuyasha couldn't help but think less that innocent thoughts with the way her legs were wrapped around his body.
"So what did I crash into?" he asked.
Shippo was immediately by his side, "The wall."
Inuyasha looked up to see that there was indeed a wall there. He half expected his imprint to be outlined on the white paint.
Shippo looked questioningly at the pair, "Are you not going to get up?"
Inuyasha felt like answering, but knew that nothing he could say would come out PG. Maybe something like, 'Only if there is a bed near by,' or 'Not as long as her hips stay wrapped around my own like that'.
Kagome spoke, "Inuyasha is much warmer that the floor."
Inuyasha pulled her closer, giving her more of his body heat. "I think we're done for the day anyways. I tell you what kid, we'll stop off at WacDonalds and pick up some ice cream."
Kagome immediately turned her glare on him, "We are not. There food is horrible for you. It is filled with MSG and hydrogenated oils, and you are boys, so it won't just be ice cream. There will probably be fries, and a pie or two, then you'll want a burger."
Shippo whined, "What if we only get one pie?"
"We'll pick one up at a store, freshly made. You will not be putting that junk in your body young man," she turned towards Inuyasha, "that goes for you too."
Inuyasha just smirked. She was such a caretaker…and he loved it.
Eventually the small group of Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippo made it back towards the battered and beaten house. Shippo, half asleep, with Kagome who was pretty damn tired herself. She hadn't slept at all the night before and had expended a lot of energy the last couple of days. Inuyasha, realizing how tired the group really was, grabbed Shippo in his arms and nudged an only slightly aware Kagome.
"Hey, where do all the kids sleep?" he asked.
"Oh…usually with their families but Shippo's an orphan so he sleep is room 301A. I'll show you it," she began as they made their way out of the garage and down the stairs. After a few turns, two flights of stairs and the passing of a few burnt out lights, the three of them made it into the correct space.
Inuyasha had to stop himself from cringing as the door marked 301A had marks all over it, dirt and mud from what he could tell. The door squeaked open and Kagome stepped inside. There was a small twin sized bed with an Ironman bed spread, the stuffed animal that Inuyasha had won, along with a few small toys scattered throughout the room.
"This is where he sleeps? It's so bare," argued Inuyasha.
"Well, he doesn't exactly have parents to fix it up for him," she tried. She knew it was small, and lacking in toys but she also knew that this was Shippo's home. He had loved the bed spread she picked out for him, especially since before he had an ugly brown one that Kaede had given him. She had also bought him the toys, but she couldn't do much else since that would draw to much attention. She had decided though that she was going to set him up with a trust fund when he turned eighteen, since he would have virtually nothing when he left this place.
"Well, he's going to stay in my bed tonight."
Kagome turned around, "Excuse me?"
"Then I'm getting him a better room, with toys and manly X Box games for him to show off. None of that Mario crap, it's all about the jets and tanks that blow things up," said Inuyasha as he turned around.
"What?" she asked disbelievingly as she followed him.
"You heard me, Shippo's a pain in the ass but he's my pain in the ass. I take care of what's mine," he again argued as they made their way back upstairs.
Kagome giggled, "You know, if I didn't know any better I'd say you were a concerned parent," she tried to tease.
Inuyasha stopped at his door, "Well, maybe I like the roll of protector. Contrary to popular belief a family has always been high on my agenda."
Kagome wasn't sure how to respond to that. Together the two of them stepped into the room. Luckily it was dark and Shippo's silent snores continued at their even pace. Inuyasha handed Shippo off to Kagome who easily placed him on the bed. She gracefully pulled off his shirt over his head and then took off his shoes. His jeans were soon to follow and Kagome couldn't help but laugh at the sight of the little boy boxers with white Wolverine slash marks all over them.
Inuyasha stepped forward and quickly placed the oversized shirt over the small boys head and then tucked him under the sheets. Kagome, tired as well, placed her head down on the nearest pillow and watched as Shippo pulled air in and out of his little body. She was just going to watch him for a few minutes to make sure he was settled, then she would leave.
"If I ever have a son, I think I'd want one like him," she said absentmindedly.
"What, a menace?" laughed Inuyasha as he took the other side of the bed where Shippo was laying.
Kagome giggled, "Yes, a menace. He's cute that way."
"I guess he is in a horrible sort of way," laughed Inuyasha. In reality he loved the brat but enjoyed pretending that he didn't.
Kagome smiled as she briefly closed her eyes while remembering the day. The fight, Bank and Jank, Ayame, coming back, strolling around old town, the skating rink…considering how it started it had ended pretty well.
"Kagome?" asked Inuyasha. He seemed closer than he had been but she was too tired to open her eyes.
"Hmm?" she tried to ask, not even realizing that she was falling asleep in Inuyasha's bed of all places.
"Do you want a family?"
"…More than anything…" she whispered.
Within moments she was asleep. She didn't feel the breath fanning her neck, and she didn't hear Inuyasha's breath catch his throat at her answer. She didn't feel the muscular arm slip around her slim waist and she didn't feel the comforting body press itself reassuringly up against her.
Inuyasha, who held her as tightly as he could without waking her up, gazed down at her sleeping face. Almost instinctually he leaned down to kiss her forehead. After that he hesitated before taking a leap of faith and diving in for one tenderer kiss on her lips. He wanted to remember the feeling of her skin, of the taste she exuberated.
He leaned back up and brushed a strand of hair from her face.
He might have died if anyone else had seen him acting to tender, but it was just him and the brightly shining stars from outside. He could do what he wanted while everyone else slept. He could look anywhere without being laughed at and he could appreciate the woman in front of him without having to think about looking weak.
Slowly he leaned back down and pulled her closer while he closed his eyes and inhaled her heavenly scent yet again. It felt right, having her sleep next to him like this, in his arms. It even felt right having Shippo here, like a kid who came in to sleep with his parents because of a nightmare.
This…this was worth staying home for.
Firevixen73- Awe, I liked this chapter. It was so cute to write! Please review, you'll make my day!
