Chapter Six
Shippo woke up and rubbed his eyes to the early morning sunrise. He stretched and sat up, scratching his head looking around the fire that had died over night. The other member of thier little family were still laying and sleeping. Shippo covered his mouth as he yawned, Kirara stirring lightly at the soft noise. She opened her eyes and blinked at Shippo, who smiled weakly back. Tilting her head slightly, she looked behind her, flicking her tail lightly over Sangos nose. She twitched in her sleep, blinking rapidly as she opened her eyes and reached to itch her nose.
She sat up and looked to Kirara, opening her mouth to question her when she realized the Kirara had looked back to Shippo. Sangos face softened as she looked to the little hanyou.
"Shippo," she whispered.
Shippo looked to her for a moment as he realized what Shippo wanted, and he ran to her jumping into her arms. Sango hugged him tightly and rubbed small, comforting circles into his back, rocking back and forth with him.
"Inuyasha will bring her home, Shippo."
"I dont know. Shes been gone before because of Inuyasha and he went to get her," he started, his voice getting rough and his breath shaky," But when she came back she was angry and couldnt...wait to...leave again," he said as tears welled up and fell down his cheeks.
Sango shushed him as she rocked, tears dewing her eyes as well as she sympathysed with the little fox. She took a deep, shaky breath before responding calmly.
"She wont leave us Shippo. She will come home."
Kagome flitted her eyes open and flinched as a sharp pain hit the crook of her neck. Behind her, Inuyasha shifted, placing her arm around her hip and pulling her into his chest, burying his nose into her hair and inhaling deeply. Kagome smiled to herself and snuggled into the embrace, closing her eyes. Memories of last night flooded her mind, and her hips shifted unwillingly against Inuyasha. Her eyes flew open when she realized what she was doing and her cheeks flushed when she felt her warmth flow easily to her soft mound. Behind her Inuyasha growled deeply and pulled her closer to him, burying her face farther into her hair and pushing his hips against her buttocks.
She closed her eyes again and moaned quietly as he picked up his head and kissed her neck where he had bitten her the night before. She shivered as she flinched, feeling a sudden rush of pleasure in the tang of pain from the small puncture wound. He wrapped his arm around her waist and twisted her so she was laying on her back and he was leaning over her. She looked up into his bright amber eyes and saw pure happyness in the cool depths. She smiled brightly as he looked down at her with such adoration in his expression. He reached up and cupped her face with his hand, rubbing her cheek with his thumb. He leaned down and gently pressed his lips to hers, kissing her passionatly.
She took a deep breath and kissed him back slowly reaching her hand up and twisting her fingers into his hair. He took a deep breath and dug his talons lightly into her side, trailing down to her hip. She arched lightly into his touch gaining another low growl from him.
Suddenly he stiffened and pulled away, his muscles tensing as he lifted himself away from her, his eyes widening in suprise when she grabbed his arm to stop him, a look of confusion on her face. He smirked lightly and leaned down to kiss her quickly before putting his nose against hers and whispering lightly.
"Kagome, cover yourself up. Your mothers coming up the stairs."
Kagome gasped and shoved Inuyasha away, recieving a chuckle as she quickly pulled her blanket up to her neck and snuggled into bed, closing her eyes as Inuyasha snuck through the window. Kagome heard a gently knock on the door a moment later and she opened her eyes a slit. Her mother poked her head in the door and smiled lightly as she saw Kagome looking at her. She walked in and sat down on the side of the bed, rubbing Kagomes shoulder through the blankets.
"Did you have time to think about what you wanted to do hunny?"
Kagome looked up at her mother and furrowed her brow. Her mothers face suddenly became concerned as she leaned down and moved Kagomes bangs from her eyes and lightly kissed her forehead, speaking softly as she pulled away to sit up, running her fingers through her hair.
"My sweet baby, whats wrong?"
Kagome sniffled and took a deep breath before responding, "Im so sorry mom."
Kagomes mother shushed her as she rubbed her shoulder reassuringly and spoke in soft whispers.
"Sorry for what sweet pea?"
"I think...I think I want to go back."
Kagomes mother smiled brightly and layed next to Kagome, wrapping her arms around her hugging her tightly. A silent tear fell from her eye as she rocked Kagome back and forth, rubbing her shoulders through the comforter.
"Kagome dont be sorry. You have a family there, you have Inuyasha there. You had to grow up and leave home some time."
Kagome closed her eyes and snuggled into her mothers shoulder, letting her tears run thier course.
Shippo sat by the rice field, throwing pebbles into the water and watching the ripples. Kirara sat next to him playing with a tall piece of grass when her ears twitched and she looked off into the forest. She 'mewed' and Shippo looked up from the water, a huge smile lighting up his face as he saw the purple light coming from the center of the forest. He took off at top speed, yelling for Sango and Miroku as he went.
"Kagome!"
Kagome stepped off the wall of the bone eaters well with Inuyashas offered hand and knelt down, stretching out her arms so that Shippo could jump into her arms. She smiled greatly and hugged him tightly, kissing his forehead as she pulled away. She looked behind him to see Sango, Miroku, and Kirara running towards them with smiles on thier faces. She stood and hugged each of them in turn as they welcomed her home.
Inuyasha stood by the well, looking down into the darkness at the bottom. He got a worried expression on his face and jumped slightly when Miroku walked up behind him.
"She came back Inuyasha. She is here to stay this time."
Inuyasha took a deep breath and looked down the well one last time before looking to Miroku, who got a puzzled look on his face at Inuyashas look.
'What is that expression' he thought to himself 'Is that...pain?'
"As long as this exsists, Miroku," Inuyasha explained quietly as he pulled the Shikon No Tama from his neck, "She will always have a way to leave...she will always have an option to leave...she always has that room to change her mind."
Inuyasha rubbed the jewel between his fingers as he looked to Kagome with pain in the depths of his amber eyes.
