Ok last time we left Inuyasha and Kagome, Inuyasha had given up his beloved tetsaiga, all for an engagement ring! What a guy! Let's see what will happen next, today in the adventures of Inuyasha and Kagome- two star crossed lovers who came from different words. Oh well, on with the story!

 

Chapter 13- Princesses, Knights, and Demon's Oh My!

Inuyasha sighed to himself as he watched Kagome sleep peacefully. She must have fallen asleep waiting up for me. He dug the small black box out of his pocket. Opening the box, he stared at the beautiful ring. It sparkled and glinted in the light. He had given up tetsaiga for her, to make her happy.

Tetsaiga had been his fighting companion for a long time. It had gotten through those moments when things looked bleak. Just when he thought he would not have been able to make it, a renewed strength would overtake him and tetsaiga would save his life again. Time after time, that sword had kept him and his friends alive when they thought all was lost. He had thought that tetsaiga was all he needed in order to win his battles. A man is only as good as his weapon. But over time he learned that he was wrong. His friends had become his life. To protect them was his duty. He had learned to have faith in them, and depend on them. Shippo, Miroku, Sango, they had all helped him in some way, and they had all showed him kindness.

Shippo's father had been slain by the thunder brothers, and he was all alone. When he had met Inuyasha and Kagome, he had been a mischievous prankster, and had stolen the jewel shards, trying to gain power to defeat his foes. But Inuyasha had helped him kill the thunder brothers. After that, Shippo had joined them, adopting Kagome as a surrogate mother, and now he considered Inuyasha a father figure. His heart swelled with pride at the memory of the fox assuming him as a father. The kid may have been annoying as all hell, but he had a good judge of character, and a pure heart.

Miroku had been a thieving, perverted monk who was trying to find a woman stupid enough to bear his child. He was cursed with the wind tunnel in his right hand thanks to Naraku, and would one day be sucked into the void. He wanted an heir to carry on his name, should he die. He joined the crew and tried to keep his hands off of Kagome. Once Sango entered the picture, he found a new bottom to grope. It took a long while, but the pervert had lost most of his bad habits. Thanks to Sango, who showed him what it was like to love and be truly loved by another.

Sango had been deceived by Naraku, thinking Inuyasha had killed her kin. Inuyasha had to show her who the real culprit was. Sango had taken some time to convince, but once she was she joined the team, and had become a powerful ally. She and the monk fell for each other, (He didn't see that one coming!) Now it was just a matter of time before they settled down.

And of course Kagome, she had been there from the beginning. Inuyasha thought that he needed no one. He had been a loner, afraid to let anyone in since the tragedy of him and Kikyo. But Kagome showed him what it was like to trust. To love. Inuyasha was snapped out of his reminiscing by her stirring. He quickly shoved the box back into his pocket as Kagome sat up slowly, her eyes blinking sleepily, and then swiveling around to rest on him.

“How long was I out?” She murmured her voice still groggy.

“About 2 hours.”

Kagome's eyebrows rose up in surprise. “I guess I was more tired than I thought.”

Inuyasha just gave her his signature smirk, but did not say anything.

“What?” Kagome asked him robustly. She squinted her eyes as she stared at him, trying to act stern. She was determined to wipe that cocky grin off of his face.

The dog eared half demon just chuckled throatily, while moving to sit on the bed and pulling a flustered Kagome into his lap. He held her close for an affectionate moment before answering.

“You're cute when you're trying to act angry.” He whispered to her, causing her eyes to widen and her cheeks to blush. She managed to retaliate by reaching up and tweaking one of his ears playfully, causing him to freeze and look down at her, his eyes narrowing. Her response was to just grin back at him.

“Touché.” He admitted.

Kagome managed to detangle herself from his grasp, and headed over to her mirror and began to brush out her long silky hair. Inuyasha came to stand behind her, grasping her around the waist and burying his nose in her hair.

Despite having a half demon buried in her hair, Kagome continued to brush it, although it was becoming increasingly difficult due to Inuyasha getting in the way. After another few seconds of brushing, Kagome finally put done the brush with a sigh. She turned to look at Inuyasha.

“What?” He asked in the same manner she had earlier.

She just gave him a small, content smile. “So what do you want to do?” She asked.

Inuyasha shrugged his shoulders. What else was there to do in this time period?

“Why don't we watch a movie?” Kagome suggested. Inuyasha shrugged once more. Kagome must have took that as a yes, because she grabbed his hand and lead him downstairs.

Inuyasha sat on the couch, looking bored as Kagome riffled through the movies they had. Just when he didn't think he could take anymore waiting, Kagome's voice rang out.

“Ahh hah! I haven't seen this one in ages!”

Inuyasha peered at her inquisitively. She had emerged from the enormous pile of DVDs, holding a single case, smiling victoriously.

Inuyasha looked at the cover. A beautiful woman donning a crown was on the cover. She appeared in a smaller picture with a man, who was holding a sword. The words The Princess Bride took up the rest of the cover. Kagome popped the DVD into the player and then cuddled up with Inuyasha to watch the flick. Inuyasha subconsciously pulled her closer.

A ways into the film, Inuyasha felt Kagome press close to him as she let out a small shutter.

“Oh I just hate this part!” She stated about the climbing of the cliffs of Insanity. She covered her eyes and buried her head into Inuyasha's shoulder. He turned to blink at her.

“Kagome what is so scary about climbing up a cliff? You have faced way worse in my era.” He said trying to console her.

Kagome shook her head vigorously, which was still buried in his shoulder. “I just hate heights is all!”

“Why? You travel with me enough, and I leap from tree to tree and up mountains and without a rope to hold me too.”

“But I always felt safe with you.”

He turned to look at her, a look of utter disbelieve on his face. The tip of her face emerged, and wavering, brown eyes starred back at him.

“Really?” He asked, still unsure of the answer he would hear.

“Yes, really.” She replied softly.

He did not know why, but this comment made warmth spread through his whole body from his fingers to his toes. He found himself grinning from ear to ear.

Kagome watched him stare off into space, a mad grin plastered on his face.

“Inuyasha are you ok?” She said waving a hand in front of his face, trying to snap him out of his daze.

When he finally came to, he grabbed her hand so suddenly, she was startled. He brought it to his lips and began to plant soft kisses on it. He moved up her arm, to her neck, and finally to her face, where he kissed her lips with as much passion as he could muster.

When he was done, Kagome was breathless and blushing. “What was that for?” She asked, although she did not mind one bit.

“Just for being you.” Thank you for being more than I ever deserved.” Came his soft answer.

Kagome gave a small gasp of surprise before replying. “You're welcome.” They turned back to finish watching the movie.

 

When the credit's finally rolled across the screen, Kagome's eyes sparkled majestically.

“That was so romantic!” She swooned dramatically. Inuyasha nodded.

“I guess the sword fight was all right.”

Kagome took this as his way of saying he enjoyed the movie. She got up from the couch, stretching her arms over her head. After returning the disk to its case and restoring all of the DVDs to their proper place she turned to face the lounging dog eared demon.

“What do you want to do now?

Inuyasha was about to reply when the phone rang. Kagome got up and went to the kitchen to answer it. Inuyasha stayed on the couch listening.

“Hello?”

“Kagome?!”

Oh Eri, hi!”

“Are you sure you should be out of bed? How are you're bunions doing?”

Kagome made a face and blushed, swearing to herself that she would beat gramps down for making up such embarrassing illnesses.

“Actually I am perfectly healthy now, but thanks for asking.”

“Oh well then how about going out tonight? The girls and haven't seen you in ages, and we wanted to go to that new dance club, Atsui Shimi. So how about it Kagome? Hojo even said he would be there it should be a lot of fun!”

“Err, I don't know…

“Please!!”

Inuyasha was beyond confused now. Who was Kagome talking to? And what are bunions? All he knew was that that Hoho guy was somehow involved. And that was all it took to irk him. He sat with his ears swiveled towards the kitchen and continued to listen in on the conversation.

“It sounds great Eri, it's just that…. well you know that guy you met a while back at my house when we were having tea?”

“You mean that over possessive, two timing boyfriend of yours with the weird hair and eyes?

Inuyasha let out a low growl.

“I thought you finally broke up with him?”

“The thing is that we are still together, and he is here right now.”

Silence….

“Oh well that's ok! Why don't you bring him along, and then we can all catch up.”

“Well…

“And Hojo will be there, and you have not talked to him in forever Kagome! The poor guy is going to think you hate him!”

Kagome visibly slumped.

“I don't want Hojo to hate me!”

“Well then go out then you deserve to have some fun after all, you have been sick for a long time!”

“I know it's just that, but before Kagome could even finish her sentence Inuyasha came bounding into the kitchen. Snatching the phone from Kagome's grasp he barked into the receiver.

“Hey, this is Kagome's boyfriend, and you can bet she and I will be there, just name the time and place!”

“Atsui Shimi's, 8:00.”

“Done!”

And with that he slammed the receiver down so forcefully that the phone nearly fell off the wall hinge. He looked at Kagome who was staring at him as if he'd grown an extra head.

“What!?”

“Nothing. It's just I've seen you so assertive with my friends before.”

Inuyasha crossed his arms in a huff. “Well it's about time your friends knew who I really am! And that Hoho better not come near you are else he will find himself missing an arm!” Inuyasha threatened with a growl.

Kagome's eyebrows shot up in alarm. “Don't hurt Hojo Inuyasha! He is my friend! And besides I don't even like him like that.”

“Hmp, well I'm going to make sure that he gets it straight!”

Then Kagome did something unexpected that caused Inuyasha's ranting to come to an abrupt halt. She leaned up until she was inches from his face.

“You know you're the only one for me right Inuyasha?” She said softly, batting her eyes for emphasis on the starry eyed look.

Inuyasha just smirked, before pulling her to him. Wrapping an arm around her waist, his amber eyes burned into her brown ones.

“You think you're so innocent.” It was more of a statement then an accusation.

Kagome cocked her head to the side and grinned. “Who says I'm always the innocent one?”

Inuyasha raised a brow. “I'm the one who is always saving you from some disaster or another.” He scoffed at her.

“That's because you're my savior, Inuyasha. My knight in shining armor. And I wouldn't have it any other way.”

Inuyasha couldn't help it. He smiled. He took her chin in his hand and brought her face close to his. After kissing her softly he spoke.

“Neither would I Kagome, neither would I.”

Kagome giggled quietly and blushed at Inuyasha's response.

After releasing her Inuyasha turned towards Kagome.

“I just have one question, Kagome.”

“What is it?”

“What the hell is Atsui Shimi?!”

 

Sorry it took a while to update. I have been busy with school and have not had a lot of time. Anyway, as I was writing this I was thinking to myself- do the people seem to be in character? I know that sometimes someone may write something and they make the characters say things that they would never say, or they make them way out of character. But then again the author can write whatever they want, but sometimes it can get to be too much. I would like your opinion on this in the review. Anyway, please review I want to know how you think the story is coming along and also any ideas. Thanks again!
