Chapter 14 - Discoveries

"Inuyasha, what are you doing?" Kagome asked, trying desperately not to laugh. It was quite obvious what he was doing, she was just trying to distract herself. He rubbed his nose directly under her ear, and it tickled fiercely. She twitched and giggled, and he growled and pulled her tighter to him. She eventually squeaked and tried to roll over, effectively pinning herself underneath the happy hanyou.

"Oh, that's great, this is -" he promptly shut her up by kissing her so sweetly she wanted to pass out right there. But that would definitely not be a good thing. He smiled as he pulled away, then bent his head back to her neck. He was still paying close attention to the skin under her ear, but now he was licking it, and that sent shivers up her spine that settled in the pit of her stomach.

"Inuyasha..."

"Kagome?"

"Hm?"

"Shut up." Kagome pouted indignantly, but she couldn't really stay angry at him. It tickled. Finally she just sighed and relaxed, closing her eyes happily. She played with his hair, twitching every now and then because of what he was doing to her neck. Whatever it was he was doing...

She jumped when she felt his fangs though. "Hey! No fangs mister, that's..." she trailed off as he used said fangs to gently trace patterns on her skin, going back and licking what he'd done, then going back to nipping again. It was a very strange experience, and she felt a little light-headed.

She turned her head, kissing his cheek that was available near her face. She saw his cheeks pull back as he smiled against her skin, and he soon lifted his face from her tortured neck and kissed her back. The kiss was chaste for all of three seconds, and Inuyasha took the initiative to open his mouth and force his way into hers. She obliged, of course, and clung to his neck, her hands eventually gliding down to scratch his back.

On a whim, she reached up to scratch the base of his ears, and he moaned against her mouth. She giggled against his, and pulled away to pay more attention to the fluffy white appendages. He glared at her even as he rumbled happily away, unable to control that reaction. She giggled some more, and he bent and licked her nose. She stopped rubbing his ears stunned, and he laughed as he attacked her lips again.

He pulled back after a few moments, his eyes slightly unfocused and hazy. But he tried to look into her eyes anyway, and smiled gently, if not a little ashamed. "I don't think we should..."

Kagome smiled at him, kissing his lips gently in answer. "No, not yet. I'm still...weird..." He raised an eyebrow, and she flushed. "I mean, I'm still getting used to this here." He grinned.

"A little late Kagome."

"Ugh, you know what I mean." He shook his head, but he rolled off her anyway. She turned to face him and resumed playing with his hair. Inuyasha closed his eyes and loosely placed his one arm around her hip while the other stroked her face. Kagome looked over him for a minute, frowning thoughtfully. Finally he got tired of it.

"What are you looking at wench?" he asked gruffly. She smiled and looked up at him, plucking softly at his red garments.

"Do you always wear those things? You'd think they'd start to decay or something..." He frowned at her and tried to shake his head, but the bed got in the way. He resorted to blowing air into her face. She wrinkled her nose and giggled, but hopped off the bed before he could do anything further to her.

"Where you going?" he asked. Kagome didn't answer, she just walked over to her dresser. She rummaged through it for a while, and with a triumphant yell she yanked out a large pair of pajama pants. She threw them at Inuyasha, who caught them effortlessly, and continued to search.

A few minutes later, she threw an oversized shirt that she never wore at the confused hanyou on the bed. She turned and smiled, and her face fell when she saw him staring at her, the clothes behind him on the bed.

"Inuyasha, I gave you those so you could wear them." He looked back at them curiously, but made no move to pick them up. Instead, he stuck his tongue out at her and laid back on the bed with his arms behind his head. (Eep it rhymed...3 times!)

She growled softly and stomped over to him. Inuyasha's eyes widened marginally and he looked her up and down as if taunting her into doing something about it. Growling louder, she reached over him to pick up the clothes and throw them in his face.

"Put em on you goofball! I'm sure they'd be more comfortable than that get-up!" He glared at her with mock hurt.

"You don't like my clothes Kagome?" She didn't buy the act and turned swiftly around, walking out of her room and closing the door behind her. She went downstairs, surprised to see Souta sitting on the couch watching TV. Again.

"Should you be up Souta?" She walked into the kitchen, opening the rice cooker to get left over rice. Thankfully, some was still warm.

"Should you be up Souta?" He mimicked her voice snottily, but he never looked away from the TV. She rolled her eyes as she helped herself to a bowl of rice. She sat down at the table and began eating, wondering about Inuyasha.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Souta rise from the couch and walk over to where she sat. He stood in front of her and began attempting to distract her. He moved his arms, he danced around, and Kagome sat pretending not to notice. He leaned down and stared right in her face, but she refused to look up at him.

"Souta?" she never took her eyes away from her bowl of rice and kept eating.

"Yeah?" Without looking, she swiftly punched him in the gut, not hard, but he stumbled back surprised anyway. He started laughing, and went back to dancing around strangely. Kagome shook her head and resumed her midnight snack.

"Yo, whelp," The voice spoke from the stairway. "What the hell are you doing?"

Both Higurashi children turned and smiled at their hero. Souta however, had less restraint, and bounded up to him, throwing his arms around him with a smile. Suddenly he pulled back, scratching his head in an embarrassed way. Then he walked backwards up the stairs, waving frantically.

Inuyasha looked at Kagome, confused, before shrugging and walking into the kitchen to join her. She smiled behind her rice bowl when she saw him wearing her old pajamas, and the huge t-shirt with Britney Spears' smiling face plastered onto it. He picked at the article of clothing as he stood in front of her.

"Friend of yours?" He was looking down at it with almost a look of distaste. "Her hair's almost like mine. She's not from here is she?" Kagome shook her head with a smile, placing the forgotten rice bowl onto the table.

"She's from America. That's halfway across the world," she added when he frowned. His eyes widened, and he looked back down at the shirt.

"So what's she doing on here?" Kagome laughed and stood up, hugging him happily. He didn't understand, but he hugged her back anyway. She pulled away and grinned into his face before pulling him to the couch.

"You're not tired are you?" She waited for him to shake his head before she made an excited noise that was really indescribable. She hopped up off the couch and searched through a couple boxes before pulling out a smaller box. She took out the DVD and popped it into it's player, then grabbed the remote and bolted back to the couch to rejoin Inuyasha. He was confused.

"What's going on?" She smiled as she forwarded through the credits that were in English anyway.

"We're gonna watch a movie silly. Now stay here, and don't push any buttons or I'll... subdue you, yeah I'll do that." And she got up again to go back into the kitchen. Soon the smell of butter filled the air, and Inuyasha lifted his nose to sniff delicately. Forgetting that idea, he took a bigger whiff and leaned back against the pillows contentedly. That smelled good...but it can't be any better than ramen... couldn't be...

Oh, but it very well could be. Kagome pulled the popcorn out of the microwave and skipped over to the couch, and Inuyasha. She sat down with him, and munched happily away, waiting for the movie to start. Inuyasha was about to ask what they were doing while they could be sleeping, but took one look at the happy, contented look on Kagome's face and decided not to. Feeling slightly uncomfortable, he squirmed around on the seat. Smelling the new food in such close proximity was tempting, and he couldn't resist trying it. A smile broke onto his face with his first bite, and he relaxed a little more as the movie started.

~~~*~~~

"Oh... look at the way he's staring at her... oh come on stupid! Kiss him already! God, how stupid are these Americans... look, they just stare at each other... for forever! Oh, good, they're kissing now... See Inuyasha, at least we don't goggle like owls at each other and blubber..." Kagome looked to her side at the hanyou, who was basically dead to the world, except that he was still trying to eat what was left of the popcorn.

Laughing softly, she took the bowl away from him, earning a slight whimper of protest from him. She pushed him over a little, then curled up against him. He woke up enough to realize she was there, and that she was almost asleep. The movie was still rolling though, and he watched the couple on the screen as they kissed and corny music played in the background, lulling him to sleep.

Before he did though, he caught a strange scent, something new that he'd never forget again. Frowning, he hunched over Kagome's form, trying to pinpoint it's location. Suddenly he stiffened, and a great big goofy smile appeared on his face.

Inuyasha looked down at Kagome again, trying not to cry. Biting his lip so hard it began to bleed, he debated waking her up or telling her in the morning. The girl in his arms mewled softly in her sleep. Like a puppy.

Inuyasha grinned, but decided to wait till morning. Curling up against her once more, he placed a hand over her belly, and let himself drift to sleep with his mate in his arms.

~~~*~~~

Kagome opened her eyes, trying to blink away the remaining sleep. She tensed for a moment, unsure of where she was, before relaxing into Inuyasha's hold. She held his hand against her belly, playing idly with his claws. How did he manage to look so harmless and innocent when he was asleep?

The hanyou woke up, smiling lazily at Kagome before kissing her softly in greeting. He took in their surrounding, and he grinned once more as he remembered his discovery.

"Good morning Inuyasha," the girl said, stretching her aching limbs. He rolled off the couch and stretched as well.

"Morning," he replied loftily. As he bent down to touch his toes, he kissed Kagome's exposed belly on the way down, and grinned at her perturbed expression.

"That's icky. You kissed my blubber." He laughed softly, rising up on his toes and stretching his arms behind his head.

"You ain't got no blubber. But it'll get big soon enough."

Kagome stared at him blankly, then frowned and stood up, pushing an accusatory finger into his chest.

"Are you calling me fat?" she asked angrily. He quickly scooped her into an embrace. Inuyasha wanted to cry as he nuzzled his face in her hair.

"Gimme another reason why you'd get fat," he whispered softly.

Kagome seriously had to think for a moment, a frown etched across her brow. Was he being mean? Then her eyes became wide and she pulled back to look at him, shock written all over her pretty face.

"You mean..." Inuyasha was too happy for words, and kissed her deeply in answer. She squealed happily as she broke the kiss, jumping up and down for joy.

Inuyasha was happy too, but he managed to contain his excitement somewhat better than Kagome. He settled for squeezing Kagome tightly, almost cutting off her circulation and air supply. But Kagome didn't mind one little bit.
