InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Baby Love ❯ Crowning Glory ( Chapter 6 )

A/N: Hi you guys, I felt bad for not giving you guys anything to read so I'd decided to give you some double for your trouble.

Inuyasha (in news announcer voice): kawaii-shippo-lover has received a letter from her brother Brandon, who if you read the footnotes in the last chapter, is serving a one-year tour in Iraq. Let's talk to the lucky girl herself

kawaii-shippo-lover: Yesterday we all got letters from him, 5 personalized ones and 1 long family one, it was so great. I cried so much, I haven't gotten anything from him since my birthday 1/13/2K5

It doesn't help that they sent him over on December 23 can you believe it 2 days before Christmas. I was in shock, I didn't even open my Christmas presents until a week later. Cubbie has always been closer to me than all my other siblings even though we're 4 years apart. Okay I'm getting all teary so I think I'll start with the story. Sorry for the weepiness.

 

Chapter 6

 

Inuyasha woke up to the sweet smells of the pup and Kagome mingling together to form an interesting combination of sweet gardenias with a hint of that stuff Kagome called baby powder. Opening his eyes slowly so that they would adjust to the brightening light quicker, Inuyasha slowly removed his arm from around Kagome's waist so as not to wake her; it was still early after all. Moving quickly he set about getting the camp ready for when the group woke up. He started a fire for Kagome to cook breakfast over, cleaned up the pup's toys and adjusted Miroku so that Sango wouldn't wake him up only to knock him unconscious again, then looking and sniffing around quickly for signs of small prey, he ran in the direction of the small skittering sounds of rabbits. Returning about ten minutes later he found the group just beginning to stir. By the time he got back from skinning and washing the rabbit's carcass he could hear the bustling sounds of life coming from the camp. The next sounds that arose from the underbrush only confirmed Inuyasha's suspicions of the group's level of alertness.

Two female voices screamed the word: “HENTAI!!!!!” followed by two resounding smacks and a loud thump, and a small Shippo- like voice saying: “Idiot”

This time Inuyasha was more than happy to agree with Shippo that was the last time he moved that lecherous monk only to have him in trouble anyway.

Marching back to the campsite he found Miroku unconscious, Sango polishing her Boomerang Bone to wipe away any traces of lecherous monk, Shippo peacefully chewing on a lollipop and Kagome gathering the pup's water things for a quick bath.

“I'll be right back Inuyasha; it shouldn't take me long, alright?” Kagome let him know shyly and with a slight blush in her cheek, making Inuyasha wonder if she'd woken up during the night.

He showed his approval with a quick nod of his head, and set to work on cooking breakfast after carefully removing and, slicing into pup size pieces, the rabbit's liver.

Down at the river Kagome set to work on bathing chibi Inu and was wondering how Inuyasha could act so nonchalant about what had happened last night. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of angry gurgling, apparently chibi Inu had picked up on her not him thoughts and wanted them turned back his way.

“Oh, so you're gonna be a selfish puppy today, huh?” Kagome asked giggling

Chibi Inu cooed and giggled in response.

Knowing how much he liked her to sing to him she carefully thought of another song her grandmother sung to her that she liked for its up-beat tempo and started to sing it to her little hanyou.

 

Some boys are fair

Some are jolly and fit

Some have a well-bred air

Or a well-honed wit

Each one's a jewel, with a singular shine

A work of art with its own rare design

Dear little boy, you are terribly blessed

But it's your heart of gold I love the best

And that will be your crowning glory your whole life through

It'll always be your crowning glory, the most glorious part of you

Some girls can walk

Some girls can groove

Strike an elegant pose

Wear the really good clothes

Some seem to have no faults

But we never like those

No, we don't

They'll praise your eyes

Your hearty laugh

Call you more handsome than others by half

The one who's right

Your beautiful queen

Will be honest and true

She'll believe in you too

And prize your heart of gold the way I do

She'll know that that will be your crowning glory you whole life through

Your love will see that it's your crowning glory

The most glorious part of you

That will be your crowning glory

Darling, when they tell your story

They'll call your heart of gold your crowning glory

The most glorious part of you

 

Kagome returned to the camp soaking wet and carrying a perfectly dry hanyou baby.

Inuyasha took one good look at her and felt the love that was in his heart well up to burst.

Forcing it down ruthlessly, he tossed her a towel and told her to “make sure she didn't catch a cold.” He didn't miss the brief, quickly hidden flash of hurt and had to refrain from taking her into his arms and kissing the hurt away. He'd heard her little song in the forest and he wished he could tell her how much he loved her crowning glory. He couldn't though, that would put her life in danger, especially if anyone ever suspected that this girl was more than just a shard detector to him.

Somehow he would have to keep it under wraps. Somehow he would have to control the mad urges both the human and demon side were having and give her the closet thing he could to love.

His eternal protection. So long as he lived he would protect her against any and all things and the biggest threat right now seemed to be him, because whether he liked it or not that girl held his heart in her hands, and he wasn't sure he wanted it back.
