Chapter 19: Home...

 

Two Weeks later…

 

Kagome sat outside her childhood bedroom window cradling a cup of hot coffee in her hands while looking over at the Goshinboku which was currently covered in white.

 

Lifting her head, she let the light snow land on her face and smiled, reflecting on how drastically her life had changed once more over the last two weeks. So lost in her thoughts she did not hear the snickering coming from below and definitely did not hear the swoosh of a snowball heading for her.

 

“Oof!” Her mug flew out of her hand and she whipped her head to glare at the culprit. She found Souta smiling up at her evilly with another snowball in hand.

 

“Hey Onee-san. Losing your touch already?”

 

Letting out a feral growl, Kagome jumped off the roof and ran after her laughing brother. “Come here you little brat!!!!”

 

Kagome started laughing and jumped on her brother's back, making him fall face first into the snow. Taking his head, she stuck it in the snow. “How does that taste ya brat?!”

 

“MmPh”

 

She leaned forward and tried to keep the laughter out of her voice. “What? Did you just say you like it?”

 

“Mph!”

 

She smirked, “Oh you diiiiiiiid.” She started piling snow on his head and rubbing his face into it… and that's how she was caught when her mate and family found her.

 

InuYasha stood there with a smile on his face on seeing his mate's childish joyous expression and laughter.

 

Sango and Miroku wore pretty much the same expressions as well as Shippo.

 

Shippo leaned over and whispered to his father, “Are you thinking what I'm thinking?”

 

Smirking, InuYasha bent over and made a snowball. “Keh. Yeah runt. Snowball fight!”

 

Kagome whipped her face up in the midst of stuffing snow into her brother's pants and widened her eyes, shaking her head. “No. Nah uh.”

 

They all charged.

 

Kagome flew off her brothers back and ran to the back of her shrine where much of the forest had been preserved. She ran laughing, dodging branches and jumping tree roots. She knew InuYasha would be the one to follow her so she ran in zigzags trying to spread her scent.

 

InuYasha ran after Kagome not at full speed in order to give her the advantage. His heart was soaring at hearing her laughter, reminding him so much of a time long passed. While reminiscing, he noticed she had disappeared from his view. Stopping, he sniffed the air to follow her scent and furrowed his brows.

 

`Her scent is everywhere. Where did the wench go?'

 

He tried following the strongest of her scent and came up empty. Grumbling to himself about `sneaky wenches' and `fast human bitches' he stopped and crossed his arms over his chest. Faintly hearing a rustling of leaves, which he paid no mind to, he sat on the snow covered ground looking around.

 

He was still grumbling when suddenly he heard a twig snap above him and looked up in time to catch a falling, laughing Kagome taking them both to the ground.

 

A still laughing Kagome, straddled an amused InuYasha. When she looked into his eyes, she immediately stopped laughing at the intense look he was giving her.

 

She knew that look too well.

 

It had been two weeks since they had had any time alone together. He had a multi-million dollar company to run and she had her club to run. When they did get some time together, it was working to retrieve more information on Zenaku with the rest of the gang and nothing more than a few kisses and a couple of hugs had been shared.

 

He wanted her and they had just played the perfect little game of prey and predator.

 

She definitely being the prey.

 

She cleared her throat, feeling strangely a little uncomfortable with his stare and yet excited at the little bit of red that seeped into the amber of his eyes.

 

She started lifting herself off InuYasha only to have herself flipped and onto her back, with an arrogantly smiling InuYasha looming over her.

 

“Inu-“ She was cut off when said hanyou captured her lips in a kiss as sweet as sin itself. Placing his hands behind her, he grabbed her backside and pushed her up into his body, letting her know how she still affected him.

 

Kagome fisted her hands into his hair and attacked his mouth just as fiercely. Releasing a small moan from her throat and eliciting a growl from his. Pulling apart only because she was after all human and did need to catch her breath, she looked up at his now closed eyes. Reaching up she rubbed on one of the furry triangular appendages on his head, which had him opening his eyes. He looked down into her smiling face.

 

He took in all her features. Her full lips were red and swollen from his attack on them, her cheeks were rosy and her eyes shone with such happiness that they took his breath away.

 

Kagome looked at his furrowed brows and rubbed in between them, “Well... what was that mind blowing kiss for?”

 

Snapping out of his trance, he gave her a quick peck on the lips before answering with a smirk on his face, “Keh. Had to wench. I haven't seen you so happy in so long that I couldn't help it. You made me feel like a pup again.”

 

She giggled at the goofy smile on his face, “Hm. InuYasha?”

 

He leaned in until he was a hairsbreadth away from her lips, “What is it wench?”

 

Pulling his head down, she whispered into his ear, “I can't feel my ass. It's frozen.”

 

Throwing his head back, InuYasha laughed a deep guttural laugh, picked up his mate and sped her off to the nearest fireplace.

 

--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--

 

The whole group sat in front of the fireplace trying not to laugh at the mumbling Kagome who currently had her backside aimed directly at the fire.

 

Miroku looked on with a very familiar lecherous smile.

 

“So Kagome… what exactly is it that you were doing that you were on your back so long that you got ice burn on your…might I say… lovely rear?”

 

Shooting a withering glare at the ex-monk, Kagome flashed him a very unladylike hand gesture. “Keep your tongue to yourself before I remove it.”

 

“You know Kagome, I'm curious too.”

 

Rolling her eyes, Kagome looked disbelievingly at Sango, “Not you too!”

 

Sango smirked, “What do you expect after being married to him for five centuries?”

 

InuYasha spoke up, “Keh. I'm surprised she doesn't go around groping people.”

 

They all laughed at that and all of them noticed that Shippo seemed a little dazed. Having her motherly instincts kick in, Kagome rushed to the grown kitsune's side.

 

Crouching in front of him, she brushed his bangs out of his eyes, snapping him out of his gaze. “You ok Ship?”

 

Shippo looked down to disguise his blush, earning a lifted brow from Kagome.

 

“I…uh…well…”

 

InuYasha stood from his place and walked over to whack the fox demon across the head, “Oi! Spit it out already. You've been talking non stop for over five hundred years! Keh! The trick was always getting you to shut up!”

 

Glaring at his `father', Shippo snootily replied, “Kami Oyaji! I was just thinking…”

 

Smirking at his son, “Wouldn't happen to be about a certain miko would it?”

 

Blushing ten different shades of red, Shippo crossed his arms, `Keh'd' and looked out the window.

 

Kagome clasped her hands together as did Sango. “Ohhhhh… our Shippo has a crush?!”

 

Narrowing his eyes, he looked back at the women in his life, “It's not a crush!”

 

Miroku slung his arm over the kitsune's shoulder, “So it's love?”

 

Closing his eyes, Shippo nodded once.

 

“So what are you going to do about it?”

 

Shippo glared at his `uncle', “Well what are you going to do about you and Chika?”

 

Everyone whipped around to stare at Souta. His sister pointed an accusing finger in his direction, “You like Chika?!” Opening and closing her mouth disbelievingly, she yelled, “What the hell?! Why didn't I know this?!”

 

Muttering and rolling his eyes, Souta replied, “Maybe because you'd overreact… like I don't know… like your doing now?!”

 

Kagome had a scary smug, pensive look on her face that made everyone in the room cringe. InuYasha knew that look, his mate was scheming something.

 

“Kagome…”

 

Plastering the best look of innocence, she turned shining eyes to her mate, “Yes koi?”

 

`Keh. Sneaky ass wench.Trying to butter me up…'

 

Sending a pointed glare at her, “Do not get into it.”

 

Blinking twice, she furrowed her brows, “Whatever do you mean?” She tried hiding the smirk and failed.

 

Shaking his head slowly, InuYasha lowered his head with a small smile. `Always wanting to play cupid that one…'

 

Mentally rubbing her hands together, Kagome stifled a chuckle. `Love is in the air!Ohhh… I have to get them together!'

 

Ignoring her friend that was bouncing and saying `yipee' Sango looked at InuYasha, “So what are you guys up to tonight?”

 

Kagome stopped mid-bounce, “Well there's a snowstorm tonight so, I'm not opening the club. I was planning on heading to my condo -”

 

“Keh. Let's get together for dinner and a night in at my house.”

 

Kagome smiled at her hanyou, “That sounds like a plan. I haven't been to your house yet.”

 

Sango clapped her hands together, “Alright! We'll see you tonight!” Grabbing Miroku's hand she dragged him out.

 

--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--

 

Kagome stepped out of her bathroom wrapped in a towel with a bounce in her step and humming. Everyone had gone ahead back to their own homes before heading to InuYasha's for the night. Souta had gone to the dojo for a workout.

 

Stepping into her old room, she stood in front of the mirror and started brushing her hair with a small smile on her face.

 

Looking at her own reflection she almost gasped at the utterly different person staring back at her. Her eyes were no longer empty and held a new life… new hope in them... she somehow glowed and it caused her to smile a little more.

 

InuYasha sat outside her window just observing her. Even through the window he could sense the peace in her aura that had definitely not been there a couple of weeks ago. He could hear her humming while she brushed her hair and brought his mind back to the time he heard her singing sadly at the hot springs such a long time ago…except, there was no sadness displayed there now.

 

Kagome had finally gotten all the knots out of her hair and nodded at her reflection pleased with the results. Placing her hairbrush back on her armoire, she opened one of its drawers and retrieved her underwear. Dropping her towel she put them on. Going into her closet, she scrutinized and rummaged until she found an old pair of tattered jeans and dark green turtleneck.

 

After pulling them on, she turned to her desk to get a hair band and screamed her head off, tripping on her pant legs when she tried to back up and landed flat on her ass. InuYasha flew in the window as quickly as his laughter allowed him.

 

He laughed so hard he had tears streaming down his face. Once the laughter had subsided into chuckles and hiccups, he turned and almost started losing it again at the look on Kagome's face.

 

She almost whimpered in pain, “Holy hells, what is all this damage my ass is taking today?!” She pouted her lip.

 

She was lying on the floor, turned a bit to her side, rubbing her backside while mumbling, “Asshole, prick, jerk, baka, come mierda, estupido…” and any other names in every language she remembered.

 

InuYasha sobered at the childish look on her face and crawled over to her and rubbed her backside. She slapped his hand out of the way. “Get your hands off it baka! This is the second time my ass has been hurt thanks to you today!”

 

Smirking he leaned his face in. “Would you like me to kiss it and make it better?”

 

Unconsciously, Kagome licked her dry lips. “N-no i-it's o-okay.” Getting up, InuYasha lifted her up with him.

 

Keeping his hand on her waist, he looked into her eyes. Feeling a little antsy under his intense gaze, “What?”

 

He looked her up and down, “How is it possible that you could make old jeans and an everyday turtleneck look so damned sexy?”

 

She gave him a lopsided smile and a tiny whack on the chest, “I do not.”

 

“Kiss me.”

 

She looked up confused. “What?”

 

Smiling, he repeated himself, “Kiss me.” He could hear the increase in her heart rate and definitely smell her stirrings of arousal.

 

Not being able to resist temptation, Kagome put her palms on his chest and leaned up and got close to his lips. Smiling, Kagome pecked him on the lips and backed away quickly. Smirking at her mate and his befuddled look, “That's for hurting my ass twice!”

 

Walking passed him, she squealed when she felt a pretty hard slap on her ass.

 

Glaring back at InuYasha, he gave her a toothy grin and shrug, “Might as well make it three-for-three.”

 

--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--

 

InuYasha pulled up to iron gates and pressed a button on the speaker located there.

 

“InuYasha-sama? Is that you?”

 

Looking up, he looked straight at the camera smiling. With forced gruffness, “Yes old hag, now open up!”

 

Kagome smacked her mates arm, “InuYasha! Be respectful!”

 

“Keh!” Looking out his window he smiled, wondering how Kagome would react to the surprise he had for her.

 

After a moment or two they pulled up to a massive estate and Kagome had tried within all of her power not to gape… and failed…miserably.

 

Swinging herself in the seat to face InuYasha, she pointed at the mansion, “This is your place?”

 

He squirmed in his seat and looked at her suddenly uncomfortable. “Yeah.”

 

Truth be told, he was nervous out of his wits. `What if she thinks this is too showy? What if she doesn't like it? Would she move in with me here?'

 

After stopping the car, InuYasha remained in the driver's seat with a spaced out look on his face.

 

Hearing his name in the distance, he tried to focus, “Kagome?”

 

He looked up to see worry filled blue-grey eyes looking at him. Kagome touched his forehead and started shooting off, “Are you ok baby, I tried snapping you out of it for about five minutes. You looked spaced out. I thought you were sick. You seemed so pale -” Taking his face in her hands she kept rambling, only to get stopped when InuYasha pinched her lips together, earning a blush from the woman.

 

Shaking his head InuYasha chuckled, “First off, yes I'm fine. Secondly… did you just call me baby?”

 

Kagome's original blush turned into a lovely fuchsia color.

 

Smirking at her he added, “Third and finally, I'm a hanyou. I don't get sick so easily.”

 

Releasing her lips, Kagome scoffed and went for the door handle fuming. `I was worried about the jerk and he's mocking me!'

 

She knew InuYasha would try to grab her so she used all her speed to dash out of the car and started stomping towards the mansion. She had only gotten about five steps closer to the estate when she saw InuYasha in front of her. Crossing her arms across her chest and turning her head, she did not look at him but stated as calmly as possible, “InuYasha…get out of my way before you further piss me off.”

 

InuYasha took in her body language, she was seething. Why though? What had he done?

 

“Koishii?”

 

She snapped her now silver eyes at him and he gulped, holding his palms out, “What did I do?”

 

Stomping up to the hanyou she poked him in the chest with an outraged finger, “I worried about you baka and you mocked me you jerk?!” Kagome crossed her arms once more and sniffed. She was damning her eyes for becoming watery. What was it about the idiot that turned her into a blubbering pansy?

 

Attempting not to let her anger get the best of her she lowered her head, “I just won't worry anymore… silly, foolish me for even worrying about the big, bad hanyou.”

InuYasha was a little thrown off with her fast changing moods. Just an hour ago, she was peaceful, like he had not seen her in forever, then five minutes ago she was worried…as usual… and now, she was seething and depressed? He couldn't help it; he smiled at the furious posture she was in.

 

`Ialways did think she was adorable when she was mad…'

 

She heard him chuckle and whipped up disbelieving eyes at him. He was amused!

 

She clenched her teeth and gritted out, “And now you're laughing at me…”

 

Shaking his head, he fought down the grin, “No, I'm not.”

 

Loosing her composure, she whined, “Yes, you are!”

 

Before she could blink, she was wrapped in his arms and she feebly tried to push herself away from him.

 

He kept smiling as he held her in place, “Oi my bipolar wench…” She stilled in his arms, “I was not mocking you. I just found it highly amusing that you would call me baby.”

 

Lifting her chin, he did smile now, “I liked it right along with all that blushing.”

 

Leaning into her ear, he whispered, “And when you get angry `baby' it does things you can't imagine to me.” He kissed right behind her ear and felt her shiver. Leaning back with a smug look on his face, he grabbed her hand and practically had to drag the dazed miko.

 

Reaching his door, he threw it open and dragged Kagome inside. “Oi hag! Come out!”

 

Snapping out of her trance, Kagome once more slapped his arm and hissed, “Be nice!”

 

“Well hello child, I must say it's been some time.”

 

Whipping her head around, Kagome widened her eyes, “Kaede-obaba?”

 

Her world went black.
