CHAPTER 19: THANKSGIVING

Kagome woke on Thanksgiving Day to a wonderful thing. The smell of food, one of her favorite things in the world. Not just any food, but her mother's secret recipe for a turkey baste(sp?). Which in turn guaranteed mashed potatoes and a special blend of almond string beans. Kagome breathed deeply, taking in the tantalizing scents greedily. She snuggled into her comforter deeper and smiled. This had to be one of the best days of the year, because one, there was no school, and two, she ate the best damn food of her life on this day, all to her heart's content. She wanted to squeal. What made it better was that with careful planning, she and sango's family had decided to have a joint feast this year; taking place at sango's cause her house had the big ass dining room. She then groaned into her pillow. That also meant souta and kohaku were bound to wreak havoc one way or another. That reminded her of one Easter where they had an egg hunt in the shrine. The girls had turned a corner and had been pelted with raw eggs. Oh yeah, that had been great.

She came up form her pillow and took in the scents again, drooling half asleep. But then, hell decided to give her a wake up call.

"Kagome!" souta came bursting in, yelling at the top of his lungs, knowing it's just the way she liked it, "mom said to wake you up! Come on get up!" he got closer to her head, making her cringe, "come on kagome! You have to-"

Souta struggled against kagome's restraining hand on his mouth. "If you value your voice box, you'll go down stairs and tell mom I'm awake." Came her muffled response. He pulled away, vexed, and stuck his tongue out at her. When she tried to grab for him again, he dodged and yelped, flying down the stairs.

Kagome moaned and rolled out of bed into a sitting position on the floor. She stretched like a cat and got up to change into some lose jeans, baggy sweater and sneakers. Briefly brushing her hair, she came down rubbing her eyes. And was collided with heaven. Her mother greeted her and went back to wrapping food to bring to sango's. Kagome grinned and leaned forward stumbling towards the wonderful food. She bumped into her mom, making her mom laugh and shove her away.

"Cut it out, honey, you'll eat when everyone's here and its done."

Kagome groaned and bent her knees, hands begging, "but it smells so good!"

"I know, but you have to go get inuyasha," her mother informed her.

Kagome gasped and her hands flew to her mouth, "oh my god, I almost forgot!"

"No you did forget," souta piped up.

Kagome gave him a sleepy glare, "and you'll shut up, that is unless, you don't want to see him."

Souta's eyes went at the prospect of not seeing his hero, "then go get him!"

Kagome rolled her eyes at the too enthusiastic boy. Jeez, it was like inuyasha was his brother home from college or something. All inuyasha had to do was pat the kid's head and say `how ya doing?' for souta to take an instant liking to him.

"Hey mom, I need some bus money," kagome turned back to her mom.

"Oh sorry honey, I'm broke right now. How bout you take the Honda?" her mother replied distractingly.

Kagome gasped and fisted the air. She went over to the key rake, grabbed a set, and went to kiss her mom on the cheek. She zoomed out the door and jumped into the pretty little maroon compact. Kagome's mother's head snapped up at the engine roaring, and she gasped. She turned to her son.

"I didn't."

"You did," souta tried to hide his smirk as his mother groaned and went back to her Tupperware. Yes, kagome was one happy cookie.

Kagome pulled out of the driveway and sped down the street. She leaned down and switched on the radio. She did a happy little dance. Yes! She got to drive the Honda! Oh yeah! Kagome smiled. She got her license some time ago but her mother only trusted her with a car if she was there. But now, kagome was driving down the highway alone and lying up on a cloud. She loved driving. Especially when she decided to be bad and make fellow drivers flip her off.

Humming kagome smoothly pulled up to the iron gates of inuyasha's home. She was pretty proud of herself. No tickets, flip offs, or accidents. That was a record. She rolled down the window, letting in a chilly breeze and pressed the intercom button. She waited. And waited. She raised a brow at the black box. Is anyone even there? Inuyasha said that Sesshomaru had a business trip (that's why he was spending the holidays with his adopted family), and akiko was leaving today to spend it with her family. She frowned as a breathless akiko came on the line.

"Yes?"

"Hey akiko, its me. Just let me in, I came to pick up prince charming."

Kagome heard the buzz and the iron gates squeaked to life. Kagome pulled up under the yawning to find a flustered maid hurrying to pack her car. She climbed out and raised a brow at the maid.

"I thought you left already akiko."

Akiko turned to her and smiled, "I would have if the little twit of an extra maid hadn't spilled ink on a very expensive carpet. She didn't know where the cleaner was and had me drag myself all the way here to find that she found it after all."

Kagome laughed and shook her head at the expense of Mikogi, the extra maid haired to help clean. "Well get going! You'll be late."

"Not if I violate a few laws. Have a good thanksgiving dear."

"You too!" kagome waved as akiko got into her Volvo and drove away.

Kagome sighed and walked into the giant house. Not giving the beauty a second glance, she head up the stairs and turned left until she came upon his black door. Taking the handle, she slowly opened it and peeked her head in. it was almost black, with only one light on, the one over his bed. And she noticed he was still in bed, sprawled out face up and a book in his hand. She pursed her lips. She going to have to take him out more, he reads too much.

Stealthy as a cat, she crept over to his bedside. She watched him a while. `Oh inuyasha, why art thou so hot? It doesn't help that you look better sleeping. God boy, what's with you? Why am I so attracted to you that I'm tortured by visions of you and me together? And more importantly, why don't you make a move! You know I'm totally willing. Yet snuggling and kissing and some touching is enough.' Kagome smiled wickedly. `Maybe I should change that.'

She took the comforter and flipped it back. She had no worry he'd wake up; this boy could sleep through an earthquake and didn't believe in waking early with no school. She raised a brow. Man, inuyasha must work out or something cause she's never seen sexier muscles on a guy. Inuyasha was in his boxers, red, arms flung out, on his back, calmly sleeping. She eyed up his six-pack, set nicely under smooth slightly tanned skin. Her smile grew to a grin. Oh she was going to have fun.

Silently, she slid up to him on the bed and straddled over him on all fours. She narrowed her eyes and thought. What she should she do? What should she start with? She watched him breath evenly. A kiss would be good, but so cliché. She saw an ear twitch. No, they're too easy a target. So what? She eyes traveled down, just admiring the view of hard toned muscle and male. Well, now that she's seen it, she was really attracted to his chest. Taking hand, she gently set near his naval, only blushing cause she's never done this before. Yeah, that's why. She slowly slid it up his chest and down one arm. She noticed goose bumps rising. Hm, he liked it. Now, her favorite. Rising slightly, she came face to face with one ear. But instead of rubbing it, she blew on it lightly. She felt him shiver, making her grin. Oh, this was fun. What else could she do? Looking down at his face, she got an inspiration. He was a dog demon right? And licking came naturally. Right? So, she licked the tip of his nose. Inuyasha grunted. Much better. She gently kissed him, delighted when his lips came to life. She felt a hand on the small of her back. Encouraging. She licked her lips and did some teasing shoulder kissing. His breath became uneven.

But before she knew it, she was flipped on her back, pinned under him in a very compromising position. In his groggy, half asleep state, he lazily kissed her, hands slowly roaming. But that's not why she blushed. When he flipped her, he ended up between her legs, hips resting against her. And she felt something that was way too arousing. But she wasn't complaining, he was very brave when he was half conscious. He pulled up her sweater, and she gasped when she felt his tongue trace the outline of her bra. Would he? But no, he came back up to tease her mouth. Terribly aroused, her mind lost control of her body. She wrapped her arms around his back and pressed against him, earning two moans from each. She didn't notice the hand creeping down until his fingers pressed her through her jeans. She gasped and almost went limp. Shaking (jeez, how did he do it!), she unconsciously pressed against his hand.

To inuyasha, this was the fucking best dream of his life. He dreamed he and kagome had somehow ended up in bed (again), and he was torturing the hell of her. She was only too willing. Well, this was his dream. He could have sworn he felt her lips pressing hotly against his, and he could hear her gasps and moans. Hell, he could have sworn she was right there with him. Taking advantage of his belief that this was only a dream, he did things he didn't even dare do in real life. Like reach down to forbidden territory. When he pressed his fingers, he like the way she gasped and went limp, and then press back against him. He felt her fingers drag up his back. Wait…felt? He wasn't mistaken, he had definitely `felt' it. And for the first time opened his eyes.

Inuaysha's eyes went wide when he saw a very flustered, very aroused kagome gasping under him. Since his hand was going numb, he assumed that she was squeezing the hell out of it with her thighs.

He blinked, "please tell me I magically transported you here with some weird mind power because I was dreaming."

She smiled, "any day if I get to have this much fun."

He blushed profusely and pulled back his hand and went to get up.

"Where do you think you're going?" Kagome pulled down on his forelocks (damn those things) and sat up to meet her mouth to his. His eyes went wide as she roughly parted his mouth. Damn, he never thought he'd get a reaction like this.

He pulled at her hands. "Um…kagome?" he mumbled out the side of his mouth.

"Hm?"

He pulled away, "don't we have to go to sango's?" wow, he actually remembered.

Kagome frowned, "right, sango's, food."

"Right," he got up quickly and turned and headed for his bathroom. Before she saw. "Just let me take a shower."

"Can I join?" she teased.

He looked back over his shoulder from the bathroom, "you better not for my sanity."

She laughed as he closed the door and leaned back on it. He ran a shaking hand through his hair. That was one hell of a wake up. Now for a shower. A very, very, very cold shower.

Sango hummed to herself, folding laundry on her bed. At least she got to finish it before anybody came for the feast. She looked at her clock. Miroku would be here any minute and kagome was going to pick up inuyasha. Her prediction came true when a few minutes later, she heard "miroku!" and a grunt as her brother threw himself at miroku for a wrestling match. There was squeal as Rin ran over and helped pinned the teenager to the floor. Distantly, she could hear her mother giggle. She was giggling herself, its too bad she wasn't down there watching as miroku got his butt kicked by a six and ten year old.

"All right! I give!" miroku yelled in desperation. Running feet were heard and his laugh. He said something to her mother and she answered. She guessed he was wondering where she was cause she heard his feet coming up the stairs.

Her door cracked open, "sango?"

"Hey babe," she said, her cute nickname for him. He opened the door and gave her a flashing smile. Her heart went pitter-patter. He came up beside her and helped fold clothes, mindful of the tastier articles.

"So where are bonnie and Clyde?" he asked.

"Bonnie went to pick up Clyde, they should be here soon. I just hope she can wake inuyasha up."

He grinned, "I'm sure she did."

They went back to laundry. Sango wanted to sigh. This is what she always looked for. A nice guy, helping with chores, having the snot beat out of him by her or her siblings. He was charming, sweet, possessive but not too much, and he made her feel like the only girl in the world for him. But she knew better. He was a lecher, a playboy, and there was never one girl for a playboy. Right now, she was his current fascination. Nothing more. But why? Why did she have to be another thing to him? Was that all he thought of this? That their relationship was just a hobby or something to pass the time?

Miroku looked to sango in her quietness. His brows came together from the depressed look in her eyes. What was she thinking? He really didn't like her this way, cause she brought him down if she was down. He liked her smiling face, how her eyes light up when she laughed. He wasn't going to lie and say she wasn't hot, cause she was. He had the stains in his boxers from the tantalizing dreams he had as evidence. But it was always her in his dreams, not some floozy model or any other girl. Just sango. And he wanted to keep it that way. Ever since seventh grade, his heart had taken the plunge deeper and deeper into love. All for her.

He nudged her shoulder with his, bringing her out of her stupor. "What's up? You okay?"

She gave him a small smile, making his heart go pitter pat (man if he only knew), "nothing. Just thinking."

"Really?" he nudged her again, a bit harder. "About what? Huh?"

She nudged back, "none of your business."

Nudge, "was it about a guy?"

Harder nudge, "no, stupid. Why would I?"

Even harder nudge, "cause then I'd have to beat the snot out of him cause he made you think of him."

Sango shoved him, "oh really? Okay well what if I was? What would you do?"

He grinned, "Win you back."

Sango gasped as his lips met hers in an unexpected kiss, but she relaxed into the familiar feeling. Oh, he was good. Battling for dominance with him wasn't an easy fight. He always seemed to come up with something that made her knees turn to jelly. Like that time he found a sensitive spot right under her tongue. He touched it now with his and she let out a slight moan. God, what is he doing to her? Never in her life has she felt this way for anybody. But who said she wanted it to stop? Neither cared when they slipped to her carpet, miroku gently laying her on her back. She shivered when he nibbled her jaw.

Miroku knew this girl was one tough cookie, and it gave him great satisfaction that he found a girl with backbone. But it was even greater when she just melted at his touch. His hand circled around to massage her back just like he knew she liked. She moaned and brought him back for another kiss. Boy, she was good. She learned quickly enough.

Miroku pulled back, and just looked at her. I mean, really looked. Her cheeks bloomed with red and her mouth was parted invitingly. Her half masted maroon eyes stared up him dazed. His throat caught. God she was so beautiful, didn't she realize that? Didn't she notice whenever she kissed him he was trembling slightly? Didn't she notice when she snuggled with him, his heart sighed in happiness? His heart beat faster as he thought of all her wonderful traits and tricks. He loved her hair and the way it shined in the sun. And how her eyes sparkled with emotion. Her loved her laugh, and her brain. She was pretty smart. He loved her family even; it was like they were his own. He just loved everything about her. He just loved her.

"Miroku?" sango whispered, shifting under his intense gaze. She didn't know what to do, one minute they're kissing and the next he's just staring her. But that's what made her come back for more, he was just so mysterious. She wanted to find out all the mysteries.

"Sango," he gulped, his tongue seemingly somehow growing in his mouth, making him stumble. " Sango, I have to tell you something."

Her heart stopped. No, he wasn't…"what?"

"Sango I-"

"Jesus it's everywhere!"

Sango and miroku looked to the doorway to find a grinning kagome leaning on the doorframe. Sango blushed hugely, and miroku quickly got up, offering her a hand. She took it and avoided eye contact.

"Oh, uh, hey kagome…didn't hear you come in."

"Obviously," kagome grinned like a Cheshire cat. Sango blushed more.

Miroku looked from each girl, "uh, well, I better go say hi to inuyasha. And I promised help your dad set up the table."

Sango nodded and shared a quick kiss before miroku headed down stairs. She quickly bent and picked up the laundry that had fallen over when they started kissing. She gave kagome a heated glare when she came up and helped sango, a smug smile in place.

"You just ruined a perfectly good moment," sango hissed.

"I wouldn't have if you hadn't paid any mind to me."

Sango rolled her eyes, "so you're here, and so is inuyasha. Was he ready to go when you got him?"

Kagome's smile widened, "nope, I to had to wake him up."

Sango raised a brow, "and how'd you do that?"

Kagome turned and gave her a wicked grin. Downstairs, the family heard a squeal and a lot of laughter. Miroku's brows shot up and turned to inuyasha, who had narrowed his eyes at the stairs. The girls came down giggling madly, and kagome turned to find inuyasha giving her a glare. She only shrugged and moved on to the kitchen.

Three hours later, and a lot of yelling from the kitchen later, everyone was shooed from the kitchen by the mothers and made to wait in the living room, as the table was set.

Kagome groaned. "I hoped they hurry up, I'm dying."

"But just think of it kagome, mash potatoes, turkey with gravy, sweet potatoes…" sango went on to tick off fingers. She only laughed when kagome threw a pillow at her.

"All right gang!" sango's mother came wiping her hands on a dishtowel, "lets eat."

Kagome was the first up, followed by sango and miroku and inuyasha, sango's dad and kagome's grandfather, kohaku and souta holding Rin's hand. Everyone gasped at the feast before them. There was too much food to even describe (a/n: I'm just too lazy).

Suddenly, kagome plastered herself to her surprised mother. "Did I ever tell you I love you?"

Her mother laughed, "not often enough."

Mrs. Taijiya looked to her daughter, "and where's mine?"

Sango grinned, "Hey I get to eat like this everyday. Knowing my plate's clean every time I'm done should say everything."

The dinner was wonderful, beyond any meal. Kagome loaded her plate more than anyone and still finished it. Inuyasha never had this good a meal, and miroku was scared he'd go into a food coma. Chatter was constant, and a mouth was never empty. About an hour later, many people leaned back satisfied, most of all kagome.

She hiccupped, "happy thanksgiving everyone."

The sentiments went all around. Mr. Taijiya kissed his wife's cheek.

"It was wonderful dear."

"It better have been," Mrs. Higurashi said, " between grocery shopping and kagome's nagging, I had to make everything perfect."

"Hey!" kagome cried as every one laughed.

"Oh stop," her mother waved her hand at her, "I just hope you saved room for pie."

Kagome sat up, "there's pie?"

Sango snorted, "and watch how her stomach instantly becomes empty."

Kagome held up her hands, serious, "no, no, no, wait. You never said anything about pie. Where is it?"

Mrs. Higurashi smirked and pretended to think, "Now what kind was it again? I know it was home made. Miho, what was it?"

Sango's mother grinned, "my…homemade…apple caramel pie."

Kagome's eyes went wide, and everyone watched amused as kagome sprang from her seat and quickly went up to Miho and got on her knees and bowed, chanting, "I'm not worthy!".

Mrs. Taijiya laughed her head off with everyone else. "It's a good thing a made a few of them, cause now your gonna want one all to yourself!"

Kagome slapped her hands together and begged, "Oh, please, please let me!"

Sango, miroku and inuyasha were dying in their seats.

"Oh god," inuyasha wiped a tear, "this is great."

"I told you she could eat!" sango cried, earning a glare from kagome.

Miroku calmed from his bout, "man, I tell ya. I have never had a thanksgiving like this"
