InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Baby Love ❯ Kagome's Lullaby ( Chapter 2 )

A/N: Hi' I'm back-oh and look it's Inuyasha and Kagome! I wonder what they have to say about their behavior in chapter 1. Let's ask them

Inuyasha: What do you mean their behavior? It's all the wench's fault if she hadn't jumped all over me like I was the only man alive… of course I am just that good looking aren't I?

Kagome: Uh, you are so hanging out with Miroku too much, next Shippo'll be talking about how good looking he is, it's scary.

kawaii-shippo-lover: Uh…anyways on to the story!!!!!

Kagome: Wait I just read what you said! What do you mean my fault? You were the one who wouldn't let me go…

(Faint arguing is heard as kawaii-shippo-lover runs away with her laptop to avoid the fall of numerous trees as in the background Kagome yells: SIT!!!!!)

P.S This chapter is dedicated to Felina Noctis for being my first reviewer. Thank You

 

Chapter 2

Kagome sat in the well house pondering the change that she had seen in Inuyasha's eyes. It had almost been like he wanted her, not for the resemblance to Kikyo, but for herself.

Kagome felt herself laugh at the notion that Inuyasha would ever think about having her when Kikyo was still wandering around harboring dead souls.

Kagome got up slowly, her whole body aching from the pains of the last attack for the shards. Sometimes she wondered why she even kept going to the feudal era. It wasn't like they needed her for the journey. Kikyo could see the shards just as well as she could if not better, her archery was far better than Kagome's and that was after being dead for fifty years.

But what I don't want to admit to myself is that I need to go back there for me. I don't know what I'm going to do when the jewel is complete. They won't need me anymore. Not like I need them.

Kagome's thoughts were cut off as she entered the kitchen and an apron was thrust into her hands.

“Kagome, I needed you here an hour ago. Sota's little friends will be here in an hour, and I haven't even fixed the appetizers yet.” Curio Higurashi was red in the face and breathless as she ran around the kitchen trying to do eight things at once.

“I'm sorry Mama, I thought Inuyasha would let me go sooner but the mention of a birthday party seemed to make him even more stubborn.” Kagome said thoughtfully

Maybe it's because he's never had a birthday party. I wonder when his birthday is. I might be able to throw him a party. He might like that. Yeah, a birthday party for Inuyasha, Kagome thought with a small grin, the theme would have to be ramen and swords.

She laughed slightly at the thought of singing Happy Birthday to Inuyasha as he called her “stupid human wench from the future always making up new customs”

“Kagome are you okay, you look a little flushed.” Kagome looked over to see her mother peering into her face worriedly.

“Oh! Yes I'm fine really.” Except for the fact that I keep having random flashes of what Inuyasha would look like with no clothes on, my life is just peachy!

Later that evening

Kagome Higurashi lay in a heap of tangled covers occasionally emitting a whimper or a moan. She seemed to be in the throes of a very passionate dream. How about we take a quick peak?

Is that just my imagination or is it really Inuyasha on the sheets naked? Kagome asked herself silently. All of a sudden he turned around and she got her answer. His tanned skin was set off to perfection against the cream sheets of her bed. His hair was wild and made him look all the more alluring. Kagome didn't know what she was doing but all of a sudden she was straddling his waist as if it were the natural thing to do. Her heart pounding Kagome shifted her body until he was deep inside her. They both moaned at the sensation. All of a sudden he was moving against her.BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG! BBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG!

Kagome shot straight up, panting and out of breath. This was the third time in the past week that she'd had that dream. Looking at her calendar and then outside, Kagome wondered why her alarm clock was ringing at night.

Oh! I'm supposed to be headed to the feudal era! But how can I face Inuyasha when I keep having those dreams?

“Get over it Kagome, some things are just more important than the fact that you keep having dreams about what Inuyasha would look like with no clothes on!” she muttered to herself as she threw off the covers and headed into the bathroom to take a quick shower before she left.

The well house was deep and dark and uninterrupted by movement when all of a sudden a blue flash seemed to shoot through the air.

“Damnit that flash always blinds me and I always forget to cover my eyes.” Muttered an annoyed hanyou as his furry little ears peeped over the side of the well as he climbed up the little ladder Kagome had installed in the well for faster traveling.

“The wench said she'd be there when the moon was full in the sky, not when it was on its nightly descent across the sky… she'd better not be asleep.”

The doors to the ancient shrine that houses the well are silently and swiftly thrown open and a swift black shadow is seen traversing the shrine grounds as it makes its way to an upper floor window. The window was carelessly thrown open then closed again as the hanyou finally reached his destination.

“Damnation where is that wench, and what's this?'' He asked himself picking up a large blue piece of soft cloth.

Oh crap I must have left my towel in the bedroom. Okay first make sure no one's in the hallway.

A raven black head peeps through the bathroom door. Seeing no one Kagome makes a quick run to her bedroom. Opening the door and pressing her back to it she releases a sigh of relief.

“I made it!” She exclaims on a soft breath before being startled by a small puff of air coming from the direction of her bed.

Please don't let that be Inuyasha. I don't think I can handle seeing him right now, never mind the fact that I'm naked. Oh no! I can't sit him. Technically he didn't know I would be in the bath and he didn't know I would forget my towel then again neither did I.

Inuyasha's mind was on fire, there right there, was the girl he had been fascinated by since they'd met. She was gorgeous, that was the only word for it. She was beautiful in her clothes, without them she was, there was no word. Suddenly Inuyasha realized what he was doing and turned beet red. Picking up the big fuzzy blue thing he tossed it at her with a gruff, “Put that on”

Kagome quickly complied and then hurried to gather her things so she could make another mad dash down the hall. This time towards the bathroom, life was too ironic for its own good.

As Kagome was headed back towards the door she heard Inuyasha say quietly: “I'll be waiting in the shrine, is this what you're bringing this week?”

Kagome nodded quickly, still mortified as she watched Inuyasha grab the bag and hightail it out of her room.

“This visit's gonna be something else entirely,” was heard on a muted sigh as she headed to the bathroom, lest Inuyasha forget something and come back and see more than he had already.

The Feudal Era

Shippo's ears hiked up slightly as he listened intently to the sounds of the forest

“Is something wrong Shippo?” Sango's voice startled him out of his intense concentration

“I think Inuyasha and Kagome are headed back.” Shippo's voice was thick with sleep, but tonight was the night Kagome was supposed to be back and she was going to sing him a lullaby. She had promised!

“Oh, how can you be so sure?” asked Miroku as his hand crept dangerously close to Sango's butt

All of a sudden a familiar crash was heard resounding through the forest at the same time Miroku was knocked unconscious by Sango's Boomerang Bone.

“That's how.” Said Shippo in a tired little sigh

Around the Campfire

All of the humans were tucked inside their respective sleeping arrangements as Inuyasha watched contently from his perch high above the ground. Sango was curled next to the campfire as far from Miroku and his wandering hands as she could get without being burned, Miroku was stretched out on his purple and black ovverrobes his hand twitching in search of Sango's behind.

Kagome and Shippo were the only one's still awake lying in her sleeping bag, the kit pressed to her stomach in a furry little ball. He could hear them talking faintly and scooted closer to get a better listen.

“What song are you going to sing for me?” Shippo asked softly

“It's a song my grandmother used to sing to me every night when I was little. It's called Once Upon a December.” Kagome replied with a smile in her voice.

“Why?” was Shippo's response

“Because I was born in December, here hold this.” She said pulling out a small green and gold jewelry box looking thing, and pulling off a necklace that had the same coloring and her initials inscribed on it, handed them both to Shippo.

“What do these do?'' Shippo asked

“Watch, but remember this is our little secret, nobody else can know.” Kagome whispered

She inserted the necklace into a hidden slot on the jewelry box and Shippo watched in amazement as the top of the box lifted to display two people dancing in time to the music coming from the box.

“Who are the tiny people?” Shippo asked in quiet wonder

“These are just tiny sculptures of my mommy and daddy. Do you want to hear the song now?” Kagome said quietly

“Oh yes!” Shippo said eagerly

“Alright hear goes.” Kagome took a deep breath and began her lyrics:

Dancing bears, painted wings, things I almost remember

And a song someone sings, once upon a December

Far away, long ago glowing dim as an ember

Things my heart used to know once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm; horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully, across my memory

Far away, long ago, glowing dim as an ember

Things my heart used to know

Things it yearns to remember

And a song someone sings

Once upon a December

 

Kagome looked down as the last notes from the music box tapered off to see a sleeping Shippo, and laid down to close her eyes and sleep peacefully knowing she was under Inuyasha's protection

Not too far above Inuyasha sat, letting the notes and words of the song drift through his head as Kagome's warm and throaty alto voice softly lulled him into the best sleep he'd had in a while

Looking down from above in the light of the moon, a young female inu-youkai saw this scene and decided that this peaceful looking family would be the perfect place to leave her disgrace, her sign of weakness: a two-week old inu-hanyou.
