Chapter 21

"She's a worse shot than you where when you first used the bow," Inuyasha answered.

"That is mean thing to say," Kagome said.

"But it's true," Inuyasha replied, "When I last seen her shoot, it flew way off to the side. She was lucky that the were so many attackers to miss. She does not have your talent for accuracy".

"Is that an insult to her, or a compliment to me," Kagome questioned, "Because I'm leaning towards insult".

"Feh, take it however you like," Inuyasha replied.

"I figured you would of said that," Kagome replied.

"Look at it this way," Inuyasha responded, "I doubt that your clothes can handle training of this type".

Inuyasha had showed her the basic stances. And, it went easy enough. Though it was clear that someone else would have to help in her training. Since Inuyasha had basically taught himself. He knew that he was over his head. Especially teaching someone who has barely ever used a sword. At the end of the make shift training session, Inuyasha and Kagome headed back into the walls of Edoras. And watched Ayumi learn how to use a bow. Kagome seen what Inuyasha had meant. At the moment she had no clue of what she was doing. But she was learning. It would take a while before she would be capable to use the bow properly.

"Inuyasha," Inutashio said, "Have you ever met Kagome's father?"

"No," Inuyasha answered, "I've never talked to him. I'm not sure what happened to him, why?"

"Just small observations I seen about her that suggests it," Inutashio replied, "Son, do you mind if have a sparring match?"

"Not at all," Inuyasha replied, "Though, can I get some help teaching Kagome how to use a sword".

"Usually someone in your position shouldn't," Inutashio replied, "I've seen it done a couple times. It has never been good. I will train her. She does not know me well yet, so there will no fighting that will leave a scar on relationship with her".

"Alright," Inuyasha replied, "Though I want to know how well she's doing".

"That acceptable," Inutashio answered, "We should spare outside. We should cause to much damage".

"Let's go," Inuyasha replied.

After the intense sparring session with his father. That had attracted the majority of the village. Watching as Inuyasha and Inutashio exchange blows. Inuyasha had met up with Kagome. Who was talking to Ayumi, Kagome was telling one of her stories with Inuyasha. About how she met Inuyasha to be exact, and the jewel shattering into thousands of pieces. Inuyasha had just sat down and listened in. Adding in every once and a while. By the end of the day, Kagome had told up Ayumi about her adventures up to when Inuyasha's half brother Sesshoumaru had sent his arm through Inuyasha's stomach. By that time, it was time to eat.

After they ate, Kagome and Inuyasha had returned to their room. Inuyasha after learning that the blanket over top had kept him warm. Removed most of his clothes and waited in bed for Kagome. Soon she came into their bed. Into Inuyasha arms.

"Kagome," Inuyasha whispered, "I'm a little curious, what happened to your father?"

"He died when I was a child, about a week after Souta was born," Kagome answered, "Why are you curious now? You normally wouldn't ask a question like that".

"Well father had said some things, and it got me curious," Inuyasha responded.

"Said what?" Kagome asked.

"He said that he's seen small things in your behaviour," Inuyasha said, "I guess he sort of figured that you had lost your father".

"Well, I guess I was so happy that you had your father back that started to view as a father myself," Kagome replied.

"I guess you can not blame you for that," Inuyasha said, "It did not appear that it bothered him".

"You're still not accustomed to calling him father are you?" Kagome asked.

"Still not accustomed to it," Inuyasha answered, "But I will eventually".

He had arm under his weight, though not enough to harm her. She struggled to free her self, but his overwhelming strength had not let her. She looked into his face, the smirk he had on it. Kagome just couldn't stop it.

Kagome could not stop herself from letting a giggle loose. She was play fighting with Inuyasha, and Kagome had started it. They were in conversation, Kagome had seen that Inuyasha was in a good mood. Since they had mated, Inuyasha had been more open about his feelings. Something only Kagome gets to see in such detail. Kagome had made a small suggestion, nothing perverse. Inuyasha laughed, and gave her a small nudge. And Kagome then jumped on top of him. Temporarily knocking Inuyasha over, it caught him off guard. Inuyasha then powerfully, and very carefully rolled her on to her back. And proceeded to lay on top of her, pinning her down. Kagome struggled, and found his strength to strong. That was when she giggled.

Inuyasha just could help stop himself from enjoying that moment. Just him, alone with Kagome. He's already taken so much from her. Any moment of happiness for her was everything to him. He would do anything for Kagome, and knew Kagome would never abuse that power.

"Can you get off now?" Kagome huffed, playfully.

"Why would I?" Inuyasha replied, "With such a beautiful bitch underneath me in no control".

"In no control," Kagome stated, "You still have the rosary on, I could easily stop you. And I don't appreciate being called a bitch".

"It is common for the female mates of dog demons to be called bitches," Inuyasha responded, "It definition is different than humans. It is not often used with human girls, but it is not meant to be insulting at all. It is the demons equivalent to wife".

"Where did you learn that?" Kagome asked.

"From father, during our sparring earlier today," Inuyasha answered, "And if you sit me, you would only crush yourself".

"You definitely know how to ruin a moment," Kagome replied.

(A/N): Please review! If anyone wants to know, my current thinking is that this will go around forty chapters. Though, it could get as high as sixty chapters.
