chapter sixteen: A Heated Morning
:
:
All eyes were now on the two teenagers. An awkward silence filled the room. No one seemed to be able to say a thing. They were all left in there own thoughts as the words finally seemed to process. The same thoughts ran through both Sango and Kagome as they watched Yuta collapse her head onto Hiroaki shoulder and they both sustained 'Awes' of affection. Sango smiled appreciatively. 'I always knew Hiroaki would be the good one' she thought as she watched her eldest son hold the girl close. 'thank god he has more of my brains than his fathers' She heard the man in question shuffle behind her and she looked over to him. He stood staring at the young couple with every trace of a smile on his lips. Sango didn't even need to wonder why he would be smiling in such a way. It was given away because of that mischievous glint in his eyes. 'I bet he's thinking something horrible that has to do with grandchildren...' Sango internally sighed and shook her head.
Kagome's mind was the same. 'They look so cute!!' Kagome thought as she noticed the red building up in both of the teenagers cheeks. Even if it was her daughter there, she did not care about what may happen to them in the future. All that mattered was that Yuta was happy and if she needed a boy to make her feel this way then she would have her blessings. Kagome sighed at the circumstances, 'Even more of a reason for to be angry at me' She was about to let out a silent laugh at the very thought that it was her fault that Yuta was even in here, when she noticed the shock and grave surprise written on her hanyou's face. 'He must be taking it worse of all...' she surveyed him with pity.
Inuyasha was in shock. He could feel the actual frozen blood coursing through his veins. His skin felt icy and his stomach turned uneasily. 'This could not be possible' he thought as his eyes seemed to be glued to his daughter who was clinging onto the mortal boy. How could it be possible that Hiroaki, Miroku's eldest, the boy he had always held respect for before now, had fallen in love with his daughter? Was it real? Did he mean it? But what really scared Inuyasha was that Yuta must have returned the feeling, why else would she be fighting so hard? Did she return the feeling? And even worse...had they..slept together? Inuyasha couldn't even bear the thought. He searched around for his voice only to find that once again his throat was dry to the point of no return. But something needed to be said, and said quick. "So.." he cleared his throat. "Yo-you told Yuta that you love her..."
Hiroaki nodded slowly and looked up into the hanyou's eyes. Without even a blink, Hiroaki reached down and took Yuta's hand in his. "I do my Lord."
Inuyasha fought back the anger that was slowly filling him. He needed to be calm. He could not afford to get sat again. No way could that be good for his back. -SHUDDER- He thought around for words but could only manage the first thing that was on his mind. "And then you slept with her?"
"Ye-no!" Hiroaki quickly tried to fix his stumble. "I mean, not in a dirty way. We just came in here talked and slept NEXT to each other. That's it my Lord, I swear."
Inuyasha raised an eyebrow to the boy. He must posses more of his father's genetics than he was letting on. "You swear, Hiroaki?"
Hiroaki interlaced his fingers with Yuta's and made hard eye contact with the demon's gold eyes. "I swear on my life. I love Yuta and I have done nothing but that since I met her."
Kagome couldn't sustain the adoration she was giving the boy. 'He's so sweet!'(A/N yeah yeah I know but Kag is a sap for these things). She turned back to her husband who was still staring at Hiroaki intensely. Kagome could have sworn she saw something swirl within those amber eyes, but wasn't entirely sure of what it may be.
Inuyasha stared into Hiroaki's eyes in a interrogative way. He could see the ambition holding steady in the boy's eyes. It was obvious that he would not back down from such a statement. The very boldness the boy was showing was eminent. Inuyasha desperately tried to keep the smile off his face, the fact that Hiroaki was now trying to stand up to him was unimaginable. He could easily kill the boy with one swipe, and to see such bravery....But there was still the matter that Hiroaki and Yuta were...together. Inuyasha finally pried his eyes off the boy and then to his daughter. When he caught her eye he concentrated, heavily, on her scent. It was drenched in Hiroaki's, the very thought fueling the anger within him, but he dug past that scent. After a moments pause and slight agitation from Yuta, Inuyasha sighed. 'Thank the gods she's still a virgin.'
Inuyasha stared into Yuta's eyes for a brief second. Yuta thought she had saw relief flick across her father's eyes but it only lasted a second. Inuyasha turned his head away and down to the ground. His silver bangs now shielding his eyes. He cleared his throat and then stated, "Very well Hiroaki. I accept your excuse. This time only. Come on Yuta, you, your mother, and I need to talk."
Inuyasha turned his back on them and headed for the door. Before he reached it Miroku leaned closer to the hanyou. "Does this mean you give our children permission court?"
Inuyasha scowled and gave the monk a look that could kill. His teeth were clenched as he turned to face the monk and growled out, "We'll see."
Yuta looked over to Hiroaki and gave him a weak smile. 'Well it's a start.' she told herself. Yuta longed to hold Hiroaki for his bravery, but refrained herself. She didn't want a repeat of this morning. She clenched his hand and leaned closer to him. "I love you." Hiroaki smiled and nodded in return.
"I love you too," he mouthed silently. With one last squeeze of the hand, Yuta pulled away and followed after her parents.

Yuta sat on the opposite side of the room from her parents. She stared down at her hands, determined not to look her parents in the eye. A vivid blush crept to her cheeks and she struggled to push the horrible sounds from last night out of her head. But when she looked up and saw her parents with their enclosed hands, they came back worse than before. Yuta closed her eyes in a grimace and looked hurriedly back to her hands.
Both Inuyasha and Kagome felt the awkwardness of the situation. The silence didn't help matters either. They each felt as embarrassed as their daughter did. Kagome looked down to her husband's and her entangled hands and sighed. Something needed to be said. "Yuta?" Kagome waited for her daughter to look up. Slowly Yuta's head lifted and she stared slightly mortified at the couple.
"Ye-yes mom?" Yuta struggled out.
"Yuta I-I'm sorry you had to...overhear what happened last night."
Yuta huffed and crossed her arms. "No, there's no reason to be sorry." she mumbled heatedly, letting her mind be consumed by her darker half. "I mean my parents who hate each other just happened to get it on in the room next door to mine, which I just happened to overhear and feel complete embarrassment and shock course through my young teenage system, so in an attempt to escape I go to my boyfriend's room and when we wake up there's my father trying to-"
Yuta was halted by a finger pressed to her lips. She looked up into the stern eyes of her mother. Yuta had never seen them look so menacing. When Kagome spoke her words were serious without a drop of comfort. "Yuta, do not dig yourself any deeper. You have the tendency to blab the worst things that cross your mind when you are angry, a trait you happened to inherit from your lovely father over there." Kagome used a significant amount of sarcasm on the word 'lovely', to which Inuyasha feh-ed and crossed his arms. Kagome looked back to her daughter and sighed. "Yuta, I said I was sorry. We did not mean for things to work out like that and I had no clue you were so close or I would have refrained myself-"
Yuta gave an involuntary shudder.
Kagome smiled slightly. "Yes I know. It's horrible. But you didn't help matters either. Especially this morning."
Yuta had another out burst. "Well I'm sorry but, but, YOU HATE HIM! YOU KEPT ME FROM HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS!"
"Yes and it was one of the worst things I had ever done. I was wrong."
Yuta completely froze. She stared at her mother in astonishment. Her words lost their bitterness and came out timid and confused. "But-but your never wrong...."
Kagome gave her a smile and Yuta was shocked to see the sparkle within her eyes. "Yes I am. Yuta, both Inuyasha and I made mistakes fifteen years ago. We trusted each other and loved each other but then-" Kagome's voice faded out. "When your father gained the title it sorta put this wedge between us. We still trusted each other but now things were different. He was completely stressed and tired and always working..."
Inuyasha put a soothing arm on her shoulder. He looked to his daughter, his gaze nothing but serious. "Someone jammed that wedge deeper, Yuta. Your mother didn't leave me for another man or so I thought. And she thought I wanted her gone. We were betrayed against one another, and in spite, we left, but...we never hated each other." His voice faded out and the very reminder of Kikyo and the Goshinboku entered his mind, but he shook it away.
Yuta stared at her parents while processing their words. The room was heavy with bitter realization. Yuta's gaze seemed to be locked onto her mother as she rested her head on the hanyou's shoulder. Yuta let free a small smile. 'Even if they did put me through all of this...they do look perfect together.' Yuta told herself. She sighed. "I don't know what to say" she admitted.
"That's a first" chuckled Inuyasha. Yuta stuck her tongue at him and smiled again.
"So let me just get this straight." she said. Yuta held up her hands and then took 'Talking with your hands' into to overdrive. "You two loved each other, after the job Inuyasha got more edgy, someone tore you apart somehow, you-um-had me" Yuta desperately kept back a shudder."then a little less than fifteen years later you two are back together. Did I forget any other major points?"
Both of her parents shook their heads. Yuta sighed a breath of relief. "So you aren't gonna rip each other's throats out?"
Inuyasha grinned. "Not today."
Kagome gave him a playful hit on the shoulder. Her hands caught on the rosary. She slicked one finger across one of the fangs and to the purple beads. "Remember to watch what you say in case you don't want your back thrown out of wack."
Inuyasha smiled and nuzzled closer to her. He was about to lean in for a kiss when the hurried voice of his daughter met his ears.
"PLEASE-stop, stop, stop!!!" she panicked, her face distorted in disgust. "I know your new to this but can't you at least wait for me to leave the room?"
Inuyasha blushed while Kagome laughed. The air in the room seemed tremendously lighter. Inuyasha scooted away from Kagome but still had an arm around her waist. Yuta smiled and looked back to her hands. "Well then I guess I have to say sorry too huh?"
"That would be nice" Kagome stated offhandedly.
Yuta looked back to her parents and smiled a small smile. "I'm sorry for screaming at you last night mom. I was, um shocked. I didn't want to be taken away. Even though he can be rough at times and knows nothing of being a parent." Yuta caught Inuyasha's eye. "He still makes a great dad."
Inuyasha smiled a big toothy smile, his chest was practically swelling with pride. "Except for when he tries to kill my friends" she added to which Inuyasha's pride deflated. Yuta tried to keep from giggling. She looked back to her mother. "Truth is mom, I-I love it here. I don't wanna leave. I feel like I belong here. I have a father here, good friends, um a close guy friend" Yuta purposely tried to keep from saying boyfriend for her father's sake. "and well, there's nothing really there for us at home" Yuta stared around at the old castle and concluded, "this is my home."
Yuta looked to her mother to see her nodding. "Yes," she said. "I feel the same way Yuta. This era became my home long ago. It was where both my heart and my future resided. The things that truly make a home. Love." Kagome leaned into Inuyasha and Yuta looked to her mother with slight anxiety.
"Does this mean that we're stay here?" she asked hesitantly.
Kagome looked to Inuyasha. He seemed to want to know the same thing. Kagome nodded all the while starring into Inuyasha's eyes. They seemed to be mesmerized by each other's and it was only their daughter's shout of joy that awoke them from their trance.
Yuta jumped up at the news. All of her childhood fantasies of having a real family, had just come true! Not to mention she had fallen in love too. Yes her mother was right, their futures did reside in the past. This is where she would live. Where she would have a father, a brother, friends, and a boyfriend all in one place. Yes the past was a marvelous thing. Yuta came down from her reign of ecstasy and looked back to her parents. She no longer held any grudge against the two no matter how awful and how embarrassing everything had been. 'Ok well maybe just a little.' but they would work that out in time. Her own smile seemed to be reflected in that of her parents. She watched as Kagome got up and hugged her. Yuta leaned into the touch and felt completely comforted.
"I didn't get the chance to do this last night." Kagome whispered in her ear. "I missed you Yuta."
Yuta felt a twist of guilt in her lower stomach. "I missed you too mom." They pulled away from their embrace and Yuta looked to her father. A thought crossed her mind. She knew it would push the envelope but she needed to ask it. "Um, Inuyasha?"
"Hm?" he said as he wrapped an arm around Kagome.
"As Miroku said, do I have permission to you know...date Hiroaki?"
Inuyasha immediately started to growl. He was going to give the girl a flat out 'NO!' He opened his mouth to speak when he felt an elbow prod him in the ribs. 'Ow' he mouthed. He looked to Kagome. Her face was stern and menacing. 'Don't you tell her no' he heard in the back of his head. Inuyasha looked back to his daughter. Her eyes were practically begging him to tell her yes and she bit her lip apprehensively. She was mature for her age, and Hiroaki really was a good kid...even if he did own some of his father's genetics. Inuyasha sighed and crossed his arms. "Can you promise me that you won't be like us?" he asked.
Yuta shook her head. "I could never let anyone come between me and Hiroaki." she stated.
Inuyasha shook his head. "I meant you won't go and have a rut with the guy and get pregnant within six months of the relationship." The hanyou received a hard smack on the shoulder.
"It's not my fault that I got pregnant!" Kagome said incredously.
"So it's my fault that you stopped taking those pill things and insisted on having it every nigh-"
"PLEASE, I HAVE ENOUGH MENTAL IMAGES TO LAST A LIFETIME, I DO NOT NEED ANYMORE!!!!" Yuta screamed out. The couple turned a nice shade of pink before clearing there throats and apologizing. Yuta sighed. "I swear I won't sleep with Hiroaki until I'm at the rip old age of 15."
Inuyasha coughed in a sputtering choke.
"Just kidding, just kidding. I swear I won't sleep with Hiroaki until we are both ready, which won't be for a very long time."
Inuyasha looked relieved. He looked to his wife who nodded in return. Inuyasha took one very long breath before mumbling out, "Yes, you have my blessings."
The sheer shock that his words brought caused Yuta to think she had heard incorrectly. She retraced each word in her head and found them right. As the approval finally dawned upon her, a large grin found it's way to her face. She couldn't help the loud squeal of glee she gave as she pounced her father in a hug, all the while repeating 'thank you' over and over. She finally let go and then stood back. Her face was all smiles as she looked to both parents. "Does this mean I can go now?"
Both Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other and then back to their child. Kagome nodded. "Yes, Yuta you may leave."
Yuta sprang for the door and opened it in one swift motion allowing four forms to fall inward. Yuta froze and stared down at the raven haired bunch. They were all entangled in a mess of arms and legs and their groans of pain were weak. Laughing met her ears and Yuta looked up into the violet eyes of her Hiroaki. "I told them not to lean that close to the door." he said between laughs. Yuta smiled again and stepped over the mess that was his siblings and to him.
"Yeah were just fine" came the sarcastic voice of Eizan.
"Yeah, No need to help at all" said Arisa picking herself up.
Hiroaki nodded "Well I did warn you."
"Hello! Were doing this because she's YOUR girlfriend!" argued Amane.
"Wait! Is it official now? Are you staying here Yuta?" asked Euiko brightly.
Yuta nodded and everyone around her cheered. Eizan got up very slyly and walked over to Yuta and Hiroaki. He slunk an arm around her shoulder and gave Hiroaki a playful smile. "So now that your staying does that mean that Hiroaki is going to make you part of the family?" Before Yuta or Hiroaki could seize the chance to roll their eyes, a voice from the doorway caused Eizan to stiffen and freeze.
"Not anytime soon, Eizan." Inuyasha's bitter tone rang through out the corridor. Eizan lifted his arm and slowly turned around to then bowed.
"Sorry my Lord, it was only a brotherly joke."
Inuyasha feh-ed. "You kids get more and more like your parents everyday. Your all a big bunch of snoops!" Kagome laughed and walked out of the room and into the corridor.
"Yes they are like their parents, but I bet they can eat as much as you!" She smiled wickedly at her mate.
"One day Kagome." Inuyasha fingered the rosary, "They've been taken off before, they'll be taken off again and then I won't refrain a second longer!"
"All the more reason for me to leave them on." Kagome turned to the offspring. "Gods, I bet you guys are hungry, I know I am. Why don't we all go down and get us something to eat?"
All happy murmurs and agreements met her ears and they all took off down the hall. Hiroaki was just about to follow them when Yuta grabbed his arm. She turned him around to face her. "Yuta?" he asked looking puzzled. "What is it?"
Yuta bit her lip. "Hiroaki, I don't know how much you heard in there but..."
Hiroaki's eyes suddenly grew anxious. "But what Yuta?"
Yuta looked back up grinning. "I talked to Inuyasha about permission for us to date and he said YES!!"
Hiroaki's eyes grew wide. He went in to a brief moment of shock. Her smile seemed to take up his vision. "R-really?!"
Yuta nodded and threw her arms around him. "Yes, Hiroaki YES!"
Hiroaki arms wrapped around her waist and held her tightly to him. He spun them around a bit and then pulled her away. "He said 'Yes'? The actual word came from his mouth?"
Yuta giggled out a "YES!"
Hiroaki smiled but his voice was a bit edgy when he said, "I'm sorry but the guy did try to kill me less than an hour ago!"
Yuta smiled. "And you were so brave too" she said slowly leaning up.
Hiroaki lost the edge in his voice. A small grin came on to his face. "Really?"
"Really." and she brushed her lips against his for that morning kiss they had been deprived of. A few moments of bliss later the two pulled apart. Yuta opened her eyes slowly and smiled up at him. His eyes were still closed as he whispered, "Heaven". Yuta's smile grew to the length of her face. Her hands slid down and took his hand in hers. "Come on, let's go get some breakfast."
Hiroaki looked back to her and his blue violet eyes were full of such a warmth and affection she felt as if she could die right then. Her life was complete. Her parents were back together, she knew her father and even if he was stubborn, she loved him dearly, and she had a boyfriend that she loved and her parents finally approved of. 'Now if only I had woken up knowing this'

"So let me just get this straight." she said. Yuta held up her hands and then took 'Talking with your hands' into to overdrive. "You two loved each other, after the job Inuyasha got more edgy, someone tore you apart somehow, you-um-had me" Yuta desperately kept back a shudder."then a little less than fifteen years later you two are back together. Did I forget any other major points?"
Both of her parents shook their heads. Yuta sighed a breath of relief. "So you aren't gonna rip each other's throats out?"
Inuyasha grinned. "Not today."
Kagome gave him a playful hit on the shoulder. Her hands caught on the rosary. She slicked one finger across one of the fangs and to the purple beads. "Remember to watch what you say in case you don't want your back thrown out of wack."
Inuyasha smiled and nuzzled closer to her. He was about to lean in for a kiss when the hurried voice of his daughter met his ears.
"PLEASE-stop, stop, stop!!!" she panicked, her face distorted in disgust. "I know your new to this but can't you at least wait for me to leave the room?"
Inuyasha blushed while Kagome laughed. The air in the room seemed tremendously lighter. Inuyasha scooted away from Kagome but still had an arm around her waist. Yuta smiled and looked back to her hands. "Well then I guess I have to say sorry too huh?"
"That would be nice" Kagome stated offhandedly.
Yuta looked back to her parents and smiled a small smile. "I'm sorry for screaming at you last night mom. I was, um shocked. I didn't want to be taken away. Even though he can be rough at times and knows nothing of being a parent." Yuta caught Inuyasha's eye. "He still makes a great dad."
Inuyasha smiled a big toothy smile, his chest was practically swelling with pride. "Except for when he tries to kill my friends" she added to which Inuyasha's pride deflated. Yuta tried to keep from giggling. She looked back to her mother. "Truth is mom, I-I love it here. I don't wanna leave. I feel like I belong here. I have a father here, good friends, um a close guy friend" Yuta purposely tried to keep from saying boyfriend for her father's sake. "and well, there's nothing really there for us at home" Yuta stared around at the old castle and concluded, "this is my home."
Yuta looked to her mother to see her nodding. "Yes," she said. "I feel the same way Yuta. This era became my home long ago. It was where both my heart and my future resided. The things that truly make a home. Love." Kagome leaned into Inuyasha and Yuta looked to her mother with slight anxiety.
"Does this mean that we're stay here?" she asked hesitantly.
Kagome looked to Inuyasha. He seemed to want to know the same thing. Kagome nodded all the while starring into Inuyasha's eyes. They seemed to be mesmerized by each other's and it was only their daughter's shout of joy that awoke them from their trance.
Yuta jumped up at the news. All of her childhood fantasies of having a real family, had just come true! Not to mention she had fallen in love too. Yes her mother was right, their futures did reside in the past. This is where she would live. Where she would have a father, a brother, friends, and a boyfriend all in one place. Yes the past was a marvelous thing. Yuta came down from her reign of ecstasy and looked back to her parents. She no longer held any grudge against the two no matter how awful and how embarrassing everything had been. 'Ok well maybe just a little.' but they would work that out in time. Her own smile seemed to be reflected in that of her parents. She watched as Kagome got up and hugged her. Yuta leaned into the touch and felt completely comforted.
"I didn't get the chance to do this last night." Kagome whispered in her ear. "I missed you Yuta."
Yuta felt a twist of guilt in her lower stomach. "I missed you too mom." They pulled away from their embrace and Yuta looked to her father. A thought crossed her mind. She knew it would push the envelope but she needed to ask it. "Um, Inuyasha?"
"Hm?" he said as he wrapped an arm around Kagome.
"As Miroku said, do I have permission to you know...date Hiroaki?"
Inuyasha immediately started to growl. He was going to give the girl a flat out 'NO!' He opened his mouth to speak when he felt an elbow prod him in the ribs. 'Ow' he mouthed. He looked to Kagome. Her face was stern and menacing. 'Don't you tell her no' he heard in the back of his head. Inuyasha looked back to his daughter. Her eyes were practically begging him to tell her yes and she bit her lip apprehensively. She was mature for her age, and Hiroaki really was a good kid...even if he did own some of his father's genetics. Inuyasha sighed and crossed his arms. "Can you promise me that you won't be like us?" he asked.
Yuta shook her head. "I could never let anyone come between me and Hiroaki." she stated.
Inuyasha shook his head. "I meant you won't go and have a rut with the guy and get pregnant within six months of the relationship." The hanyou received a hard smack on the shoulder.
"It's not my fault that I got pregnant!" Kagome said incredously.
"So it's my fault that you stopped taking those pill things and insisted on having it every nigh-"
"PLEASE, I HAVE ENOUGH MENTAL IMAGES TO LAST A LIFETIME, I DO NOT NEED ANYMORE!!!!" Yuta screamed out. The couple turned a nice shade of pink before clearing there throats and apologizing. Yuta sighed. "I swear I won't sleep with Hiroaki until I'm at the rip old age of 15."
Inuyasha coughed in a sputtering choke.
"Just kidding, just kidding. I swear I won't sleep with Hiroaki until we are both ready, which won't be for a very long time."
Inuyasha looked relieved. He looked to his wife who nodded in return. Inuyasha took one very long breath before mumbling out, "Yes, you have my blessings."
The sheer shock that his words brought caused Yuta to think she had heard incorrectly. She retraced each word in her head and found them right. As the approval finally dawned upon her, a large grin found it's way to her face. She couldn't help the loud squeal of glee she gave as she pounced her father in a hug, all the while repeating 'thank you' over and over. She finally let go and then stood back. Her face was all smiles as she looked to both parents. "Does this mean I can go now?"
Both Inuyasha and Kagome looked at each other and then back to their child. Kagome nodded. "Yes, Yuta you may leave."
Yuta sprang for the door and opened it in one swift motion allowing four forms to fall inward. Yuta froze and stared down at the raven haired bunch. They were all entangled in a mess of arms and legs and their groans of pain were weak. Laughing met her ears and Yuta looked up into the violet eyes of her Hiroaki. "I told them not to lean that close to the door." he said between laughs. Yuta smiled again and stepped over the mess that was his siblings and to him.
"Yeah were just fine" came the sarcastic voice of Eizan.
"Yeah, No need to help at all" said Arisa picking herself up.
Hiroaki nodded "Well I did warn you."
"Hello! Were doing this because she's YOUR girlfriend!" argued Amane.
"Wait! Is it official now? Are you staying here Yuta?" asked Euiko brightly.
Yuta nodded and everyone around her cheered. Eizan got up very slyly and walked over to Yuta and Hiroaki. He slunk an arm around her shoulder and gave Hiroaki a playful smile. "So now that your staying does that mean that Hiroaki is going to make you part of the family?" Before Yuta or Hiroaki could seize the chance to roll their eyes, a voice from the doorway caused Eizan to stiffen and freeze.
"Not anytime soon, Eizan." Inuyasha's bitter tone rang through out the corridor. Eizan lifted his arm and slowly turned around to then bowed.
"Sorry my Lord, it was only a brotherly joke."
Inuyasha feh-ed. "You kids get more and more like your parents everyday. Your all a big bunch of snoops!" Kagome laughed and walked out of the room and into the corridor.
"Yes they are like their parents, but I bet they can eat as much as you!" She smiled wickedly at her mate.
"One day Kagome." Inuyasha fingered the rosary, "They've been taken off before, they'll be taken off again and then I won't refrain a second longer!"
"All the more reason for me to leave them on." Kagome turned to the offspring. "Gods, I bet you guys are hungry, I know I am. Why don't we all go down and get us something to eat?"
All happy murmurs and agreements met her ears and they all took off down the hall. Hiroaki was just about to follow them when Yuta grabbed his arm. She turned him around to face her. "Yuta?" he asked looking puzzled. "What is it?"
Yuta bit her lip. "Hiroaki, I don't know how much you heard in there but..."
Hiroaki's eyes suddenly grew anxious. "But what Yuta?"
Yuta looked back up grinning. "I talked to Inuyasha about permission for us to date and he said YES!!"
Hiroaki's eyes grew wide. He went in to a brief moment of shock. Her smile seemed to take up his vision. "R-really?!"
Yuta nodded and threw her arms around him. "Yes, Hiroaki YES!"
Hiroaki arms wrapped around her waist and held her tightly to him. He spun them around a bit and then pulled her away. "He said 'Yes'? The actual word came from his mouth?"
Yuta giggled out a "YES!"
Hiroaki smiled but his voice was a bit edgy when he said, "I'm sorry but the guy did try to kill me less than an hour ago!"
Yuta smiled. "And you were so brave too" she said slowly leaning up.
Hiroaki lost the edge in his voice. A small grin came on to his face. "Really?"
"Really." and she brushed her lips against his for that morning kiss they had been deprived of. A few moments of bliss later the two pulled apart. Yuta opened her eyes slowly and smiled up at him. His eyes were still closed as he whispered, "Heaven". Yuta's smile grew to the length of her face. Her hands slid down and took his hand in hers. "Come on, let's go get some breakfast."
Hiroaki looked back to her and his blue violet eyes were full of such a warmth and affection she felt as if she could die right then. Her life was complete. Her parents were back together, she knew her father and even if he was stubborn, she loved him dearly, and she had a boyfriend that she loved and her parents finally approved of. 'Now if only I had woken up knowing this'
