InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Choosing A Husband ❯ Sufferable Mornings ( Chapter 14 )

~The next morning in the garden~

Inuyasha yawned and cracked open one of his eyes, to find Maven still sleeping peacefully in his lap.

`Damn wench and people say I'm possessive.'

Maven shifted a little in his lap and her arms tighten around his waist.

"Inuyasha." She whispered in her sleep and a smile form on his face.

`She's dreaming about me?' He shifted a bit at the thought.

The movement woke Maven who slowly opened her eyes to stare into the golden depths she loved.

"Morning dar…Inuyasha." Inuyasha looked shocked.

"Huh?"

"I said morning." She smiled at him.

"I know that but you said my name."

"I know I didn't feel like ruining the moment by making you mad." Once again Inuyasha looked shocked. Maven took his silence as a thank you and snuggled closer to him.

"Inuyasha I know you don't like me very much but is there even a same chance for…us?" She whispered knowing he could hear her. Inuyasha thought about that for a second.

"I guess there is…but that's up to Kagome." Answered Inuyasha in a quiet voice.

"I'm glad at the first part that is." She once again smiled at him and he stared back at her. After a second his lips drew closer to hers and she closed her eyes.

"Maven." She made a soft noise but did not open her eyes. "Maven." Again the noise but eyes still did not open. "Maven!"

Maven awoke with a jerk.

"Huh?"

"Finally! I've been trying to wake your sorry ass up for 5 minutes now."

"Oh sorry darling, I'm awake now what it is." She said sleepily, her eyes glassy with unshed tears.

`It was just a dream.'

"I want what I wanted yesterday, for you to let go of me!" Maven sighed.

"Ok my darling, I need to shower anyway I must be beautiful for you at all cost." She gave him a fake smile as he rolled his eyes.

`Well it was nice while it lasted.' Maven let go of him and got up quickly.

"I see you later darling."

"Feh whatever." Maven walked away as quickly as she could without looking like she was fleeing as a lone tear made it's way down her cheek followed by another seconds later.

Inuyasha smelt the scent of tears and watch Maven leave and fought the urge to go after her and find out what was wrong.

`No let the bitch suffer as I have for years.' But Inuyasha could not help the guilty feeling that spread through his body.

~At Kouga's house same time~

Kouga opened his eyes to stared straight into misty blue eyes.

"Kagome? What are you doing here and in my bed no less…not that I mind." Kagome laughed.

"I missed you…and I felt bad. I thought about what you said and your wrong."

"Really, exactly what am I wrong about?"

"You don't pale in comparison to my Sessho…you put him to shame with your brightness." Kagome moved closer to him and he wrapped his arms around her. He bent to kiss her…

"Kougie! Wake up I is hungry!" The little boy said as he jumped up and down on Kouga stomach.

"Michu get off me, what have I told you about waking me up before 7:30." Kouga growled at his little brother.

"Never wakie Kougie up before 7:30 unless someone is dying or Kagie's on the phone or here." Answered the boy still jumping on the bed.

"Right now get out of here!" Kouga grabbed the boy in mid jump and placed him on the floor facing the door.

"But Kougie it's 7:53 and I still hungry." Kouga groaned in frustration and climb out of his bed and picked the boy up once again.

"Alright Michu let's get you some breakfast." Kouga walked out of the door and got half way down the hall before stopping. "And stop calling me Kougie." Michu grinned.

"Nope Kagie said me could call you Kougie all me wanted; Kagie said it was cute."

"And you know better than to go against what Kag says don't cha bro." Came a familiar male voice in front of him.

"Oh shut up Yenj, one more word and no games for you today." Came Kouga hard voice.

"You wouldn't."

"Wanna bet?" After a second Yenj shook his head know and the three walked down to the kitchen.

Kouga look around counting seeing if they all were there.

`Only nine where are they other four?'

"Retonj where are Kytin, Sume, Ahun, and Iyaj?"

"Kytin's in the basement bathroom, Sume's in the first floor bathroom and Ahun and Iyaj knocked each other out about 6 minutes ago over some new girl." Replied a 12 year old boy at the far left of the table.

"Ahhh same girl from yesterday?"

"Yep." Kouga rolled his eyes.

"They never learn…alright Yenj take Michu so I can start breakfast." He hand the boy over to him and left towards the kitchen.

`I know you wouldn't approve of them fighting mom but boys will be boys.' Thought Kouga looking at the picture of his mom on the wall that was taking 2 years ago, a month before she died leaving him to take care of his 13 brothers and cousin's.

`I try mom I truly do but it would be nice to have some help.' He thought now looking at the picture of him and Kagome on their third date. A sad smile formed on his face before he turned and started on breakfast for his family.

A/N: Hi I just thought I needed more insight on Maven and Kouga's emotions and/or life so this is the result…I've had to much time on my hands lately, later!
