Chapter 4: The Morning After WARNING: The Following Chapter Is Very Long!
The next morning Kagome woke up to a strange feeling on her lips, she cracked one eye open. She saw a silver and red blur then opened both eyes to reveal Inuyasha hovering over her with a quite content look on his face. He had been kissing her awake.
"Hey get up lazy, remember we're leaving today!" he kissed her once again to make sure she was getting up.
"Okay, okay I'm up." sitting all the memories of last night began to come back to her. Apparently when she and Inuyasha were done make out they went in the hut and went to bed. They slept next to each other and that's why he was so close. Standing up she scanned the room revealing that she wasn't the only one who had a bed time buddy last night. Sango and Miroku also slept together, (not that way!) they were both still sleeping.
"Hey Inuyasha, why'd you just wake me up?"she asked putting her hand on her hips
"Because I wanted to tell you good morning in private!" He grabbed her waist and pulled her down, landed on his lap.
"Good Morning, Kagome!" he said as he kissed her head with one hand and tickling with the other.
"Inuyasha stop, I'm...tick...lish...there!" she laughed. His strong demon arms were too much for her, she couldn't get loose. "Inuyasha please I'm going to bust a gut! MERCY, MERCY, UNCLE, UNCLE!"
"Who's your boy-lover-friend?" he asked as he tickled her faster with a smirk on his face
"You are!"
"Who's your favorite half demon?"
"You are!"
"Who do you love?" slowing down his tickling and then stopping and staring at her.
"Huh?" Kagome asked as she realized the tickling stopped.
"Do you love me...Kagome?" With that she grabbed him, wrapping her arms around him and kissing soulfully on the lips.
"Yes...now and forever." She smiled
"Hey can you guys keep it down some people are trying to sleep." Miroku said groaningly turning over and holding Sango.
"Sorry Miroku, did we wake Sango?" Kagome asked getting off of Inuyasha and walking over to the demon slayer.
"No I was already woke awhile ago." she sat up, yawned, and stretched a bit before Miroku gave a small kiss on the cheek.
"Morning...beautiful" he said
"Good morning." giving him a big hug and kiss.
Shippo rushed in with Kilala, "Hey you all are awake neat! Kaede made breakfast for you guys!" When he saw Kagome he quickly jumped on her and gave her a hug. "Good morning Kagome did you sleep well?" Glancing over at Inuyasha, with a smirk
"Yea I slept very well Shippo. Thanks"
"Well anyway come over to Kaede's hut she's got stuff to tell us!"
He jumped off Kagome and ran out the hut.
"That kid's got too much energy for his own good." Inuyasha said with a grunt
In Kaede's Hut
The group was sitting in the hut eating their special breakfast that Kaede made for them for their journey
"So did you all sleep well?"
They all thought 'Why is everybody asking us that?' "Yes Kaede" they said with big smiles on their faces. Kaede might have been old but she was too and she had been expecting this for a while and she was happy glee (on the inside)
"So what's this meeting for anyway woman?" Inuyasha said quite rudely
"Well this 'meeting' is to discuss ye journey plan. I called ye here to inform ye to take heed. Ye are heading for the haunted castle.
"The haunted castle? Are you kidding?" Kagome asked with questionable look on her face.
"I am not 'kidding'. Stories have been told of people going and never coming out. They say that is it a place where ye face ye worst fear. There is also a demon that guards the castle making sure no intruders get past"
"Well I aint afraid of no dumb 'haunted castle'." Inuyasha raised his hand and showing off his claws. "Beside I can take on anything that's thrown at me, we can just find some way past it. No problem."
"Either way it is best ye avoid that place all means necessary! There is no telling what kind of evil lurks in that castle." The group nodded and when back to their breakfast.
Inside The Hut(They're getting ready to go)
"Okay...bag…bow…arrows...bike...okay I'm ready" Kagome grabbed her stuff went outside to meet the others.
"Are you ready yet, woman? Come on times awaiting!" Inuyasha yelled
"All right...ready! Let's go, what way we are going again?" she asked
"Oh no!" he said with a wide-eyed glare.
"What? What's the matter?" she asked crooking her head slightly.
"You brought that damn bike again!" he growled.
"We're heading south, that way." Miroku pointed in the direction they were going.
