Satoru jerks awake. His chest rises rapidly. Where is he? He was in the prison realm and now…his mind screeches to a halt.
Someone — something powerful is in the area. Satoru goes to move the cover off him and freezes. Kagome. She's asleep. But this isn't their room. She stirs and when her eyes open, his heart jumps.
"Kagome," he murmurs fervently. He reaches for her, pulling her into his lap.
"Uh Satoru, what are you—mhm!"
He kisses her. Claims her. It was just this morning when he saw her last, but how much time passed while he was in the realm? His hand slide down, gripping her thigh. They're fuller. She moans, threading her fingers in his hair. His other hand slides down, grips her thigh, and then moves down to tease her slit through her thin shorts. Satoru groans. She's wet.
Fuck. She's wet. He slips his hand inside her shorts and nearly comes. Feels like an eternity since he's touched her.
Kagome plants her hands on his chest and pulls away before he can touch her how he so desperately wants to. "What was that?" Her eyes are wild. Her full lips are swollen.
His brows furrow. His chest is wet. Wait…why is his chest wet? He glances down at her chest. Are her tits leaking? The pink tank top is only wet at her breasts. That doesn't make any…He blinks at the sight of a crib.
"Satoru," Kagome huffs. "You can't just kiss me whenever you feel like it."
"I can't?" He swallows. Did he do something wrong? "You don't like kissing me anymore?" He moves his hand away reluctantly and places it on her other thigh.
She blinks. "We don't kiss? I mean, yeah, that night, but that was a one time thing."
One time thing? He wets his lips. "One time? I can't do one times with you. I thought that was clear when I—" Where is her ring? "You took your ring off?"
Kagome stares at him. "You never gave me a ring. I mean you asked what size I am, but you've never given me a ring." She places her palm on his forehead. "Are you okay? Look, sleep deprivation is a thing. Koushi and I can stay at the shrine tonight so you can get some rest."
"Koushi?"
Her eyes narrow as she removes his hand from her thigh. "Your son," she replies flatly.
Satoru glances over at the crib again and wordlessly eases Kagome off his lap. She had the baby? Then that wetness must have been milk? He swallows. Koushi blinks up at him and stretches his arms out. Satoru lifts him and cuddles him to his chest.
"Did something happen last night with your missions?" Kagome asks.
He turns towards her and presses his lips into a thin line. "I don't remember last night or Koushi's birth."
"You weren't at Koushi's birth. And yesterday, we went to the Gojo clan estate to introduce Koushi to your father."
The Gojo clan was wiped out. His father long since dead. "I wouldn't miss my son's birth. No matter how angry you might be at me."
"Angry?" She crosses her arms. "Satoru, I'm not angry at you for not being there. It was just a one night stand. We didn't exchange information."
One night stand?
"One night? You say you aren't angry at me, but now you're reducing our relationship to only one night?" He wets his lips again, mindful that he has a baby in his arms. He needs to calm down. "Kagome, just tell me what I did so I can fix this."
Kagome scratches her head. "No, Satoru. You aren't listening. I'm not angry. We were never in a relationship. I get you think we have to be because of Koushi, but that's not true. You shouldn't tie yourself down just because we have a kid together. I mean, what if—"
Crack.
"Sorry," he says, sucking in a breath. Koushi turns his head and looks at the cracked window. Satoru grits his teeth. "I don't want anyone else. I'm in love with you. Did InuYasha say something to you?"
Kagome freezes.
That bastard did say something to her.
He'll fucking kill him.
"How do you know InuYasha?"
His body shakes. "How can I not when he came to our home trying to win you back? What changed? Was I gone too long? Did he set me up?" Satoru seethes. "Did he? He set me up to get sealed?"
Kagome shakes her head and gets off the bed. "One, put Koushi back in his crib." Kagome watches him as he does so. He blows out a breath, trying to get himself under control. "Two, why would InuYasha try to seal you? I still don't know how you and InuYasha even know each other. As far as being gone too long…we just reconnected the other night when those curses tried to seal you."
Satoru glances back at Koushi and then at Kagome. His fists shake at his sides. This isn't his Kagome. The way she is talking to him right now is not how his Kagome would talk to him, no matter how angry she is.
"I was never sealed?"
"No…I managed to free you. It's only been two days since we've reconnected."
Satoru's nostrils flare. His six eyes tell him her energy is Kagome. His heart tells him she isn't his Kagome. But his soul knows that somewhere in there is Kagome. His brain hurts.
"I think Koushi, and I should just go—"
"No," he says, softly. "Your memories don't match what's in my heart." He runs a hand through his hair. "You aren't a demon, so I know it isn't Yakeru or Shippo playing a trick. But you aren't my Kagome. I don't know what you are." He glances back at Koushi. The six eyes. He has them too.
Kagome steps toward him. "You know about demons? Shippo?" Her eyes are hopeful. She places a hand on his chest, but he jerks away. "Seriously?"
"Sorry," he says, but he's not. He can't shake this gut feeling. She isn't his Kagome. He doesn't want any Kagome but his. "I need to get back to my world?"
Kagome picks up Koushi and bounces him. "What was our relationship…in your world?"
She believes him? The bewilderment must show on his face because she just shrugs.
"You know of demons, and people close to me you shouldn't. And you're way too freaked out. I've seen crazier things."
He sighs and sits down on the bed. "For one, we're together. Been together since you fell from the sky into my lap." He smiles. Back then, he deluded himself into believing he had to keep her with him because of the higher-ups. That they would have done something. They may have, he isn't 100% sure. But he knows now that something deeper was calling to him then.
Fate?
"The well opened up, and you thought it was a sign to go back…to InuYasha, but the well lead you to me. The attraction was always there on my end and over time, we just sort of fell into a relationship." He rubs the back of his neck. "We're kind of engaged. I haven't formally proposed with the second ring."
"Second ring?" She sits down next to him. Koushi reaches for him.
Is this what their child will look like? Satoru takes Koushi and bounces him on his lap. "I got you three, not that my Kagome knows that. The first one is a promise ring. The second one is for engagement, and the third is for the wedding." He stops bouncing Koushi and boops his nose. Koushi giggles and twists his finger.
What the fuck?
Satoru winces. "Uh, and Shippo calls me dad sometimes. Demons have glamours they use to blend in. You're pregnant with our child. A demon, Yakeru's sister, kidnapped you for our kid and that's how we found out you were expecting. Because of that, Sesshomaru usually hangs out with you while I'm working." He glances at Kagome from the corner of his eye. She looks close to tears.
"Why did you think InuYasha tried to seal you?"
"Because he came to our house with flowers and expecting you to leave me for him. And that day, you were supposed to go out with Sesshomaru to enjoy Halloween, but Sesshomaru sent InuYasha instead. Shippo was in Shibuya with me when things started to go down."
"You let him talk to me?"
"I trust my Kagome. And I'd kill another man before I let them try to take you from me."
Kagome's eyes widen. She crosses her arms and looks away, but her face is red. Satoru quirks a brow. Come to think of it, Kagome got pretty heated at the exchange event after he shot off that hollow purple.
He turns his attention back to Koushi, who has yet to let go of his finger. "At any rate, I just want to get back home to my Kagome."
"I don't know how to…did she make this locket?" Kagome grabs the locket. She opens it and a small smile appears on her face. "She did. Koushi come here." Kagome takes Koushi back and holds him with one arm. She inspects the locket. "I might be able to add some more energy to it. I'm not sure if it will help or not."
Satoru looks down at the locket and smiles. "For the record, I think your Satoru would love nothing more than to kiss you."
Kagome flushes. "He just wants to sleep with me again."
Satoru hums. "Size 7 ring."
She shakes her head. "No matter the version, you, Satorus, are a handful." Kagome focuses on the locket, and the energy leaps from the locket towards him. His body is light. He blinks and it feels like he is falling.
Satoru sucks in a breath.
Please take him back to Kagome.
A/N: I didn't watch the whole 11 hours and 27 minutes of the Satoru video, but I got so triggered by it I ended up writing this lol. Thousand Days should be up on Friday. I should have been working on it today but this wouldn't leave me alone.
"Have the cat shikigami been named?" - Not yet, we'll let Megumi have the honors since Shippo traumatized him.
"Can curse energy be eliminated by Kagome?" - She could make a wish but who knows how that would affect Satoru or the twins...and everyone else.
"Will they be more acceptable of the kitten?" - The other shikigami don't hate Buyo Jr. It's just that he is trying to be the leader and they're kinda like pfttt whatever dude. But yes they will accept the cat shikigami and any other shkigami that Megumi manages to 'steal' from Kagome.
Hope you are having a great Wednesday! Make sure you take your vitamins and drink your water. The weather has been crazy over here. And make sure to keep refilling your well!
Here's a sneak peak at a future side story:
Shippo sits down at the table with Nanami and Ijichi, and flashes them a smirk.
"It's too early," Nanami says, sipping his coffee. It's too early and yet Nanami is wearing an ironed suit that Jaken fetched for him. Ijichi tugs at his tie and then fusses with his hair as though it isn't slicked down enough.
"It's never too early," Shippo chimes. "Besides I've been thinking and I gotta know something." He leans forward, his tail swishes behind him.
"Gojo, get your son," Nanami says.
Satoru sits next to Shippo and drums his fingers on the table. "He hasn't done anything?" he says, but it comes out like a question.
Shippo leans to the side, brushing against Satoru, and wipes a fake tear from his eye. "At least my papa believes in me."
Nanami scoffs. Ijichi fidgets.
"Just out with it then," Nanami mutters.
"Okay!" Shippo perks up. "What kind of hentai do you watch? You seem more like a plot-over-the-porn kind of guy. Or do you like it when they just get to the point and fuck all over the house, gym, forest, whatever you're into?" He waves a hand in the air.
"…What?"
"Man, there was this one I was watching where the plot was so good, I stopped mid stroke." Shippo shakes his head. A shame he doesn't remember the title. It was a good one too, the story was just chef's kiss. There was an assassination attempt, some plot to throw over the neighboring country, and some overpowered protagonist that didn't know they were the chosen one.
Ah…he should really try to find that one again.
"Gojo," Nanami says through clenched teeth. "Do something."
"Ah, Shippo, you should wait until lunchtime to ask those kinds of questions." Satoru scratches his head. "It's a bit early."
Shippo pouts. "Are you humans truly that sensitive to the time of day?"
"Humans don't like to talk about those kinds of things over breakfast, or lunch, or dinner," Ijichi explains, pushing his glasses up with his finger.
"Huh? I asked Mama and she said she was more of a plot person."
"…What?" Satoru asks. "Kagome watches porn?"
