InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Falling For the Baby Sitter ❯ Sultry Favors ( Chapter 40 )

Inu Yasha dozed lightly in the chair with his arm draped over Mayu.

Kagome stepped into the room quietly. A soft smile danced over her features as she scooped Souta up, carefully carrying him back to his bedroom, then making the same trip with Shippou.

She pulled a blanket off of the back of the couch and draped it over Mayu and Inu Yasha. Unable to stop herself, she trailed her fingers over her little girl's face, and pushing some of her hair out of the way. A sad smile tugged at her lips as she turned to clean up some more of the living room while her side was numbed with painkillers.

Inu Yasha opened an eye as he felt the blanket drop down onto him. "Huh?" he said as he yawned and stretched a bit.

Kagome looked over her shoulder at him. "Oh, Yasha..." she said softly. She dropped her eyes to the floor, and crouched down, picking up some small Legos, trying to avoid looking him in the face.

He rubbed his eyes "What time is it?"

She nodded at the clock. "About 9:00. You guys were out for a while. I already put the boys in bed."

Inu Yasha blinked. "Damn, what, did you drug us or something?" he asked with a smile.

Kagome cracked a smile. "The kids ran them selves ragged from playing earlier and helping with two meals, and you it was the after effects of the Bacardi." She straightened up and walked into the kitchen, setting about some finishing cleaning tasks. "I had nothing to do with it."

He wiggled himself out from under Mayu and let her have the chair. "I was thinking about something earlier, and I was wanting to run it by you first before I said anything in front of the kids," he said as he walked into the kitchen.

She continued to wipe down the table slowly. "What is that?"

"I was thinking about all of us going on a small vacation since I can't work," Inu Yasha said as he watched her work.

Kagome arched a brow and put the rag back into the sink. "Where would we go?" she asked quietly.

Inu Yasha shrugged. "Well, I thought the kids would enjoy the beach. Kouga and I could cover everything, and we could drag Nazuna, Miroku, Sango and Okaasan with us." He tilted his head and looked at her. "What do ya think?"

The young woman leaned back against the counter, folding her arms over her chest. "I think they would enjoy that," she agreed.

He raised a brow and looked at her. "What about you? Would you relax and have a good time?"

She threw her head back and laughed. "Inu Yasha, I'm your baby sitter not your little sister. You don't need to worry about my comfort." A smirk danced across her features. "I need to start doing my job again sometime."

Inu Yasha rolled his eyes. "I know, but I am sure my mom will take them off for a few hours while we are there and let you enjoy yourself. You know how grandmas are, they have to spoil kids."

Kagome smiled gently and looked down at her shoes. "I'll go along, Inu Yasha."

Inu Yasha laughed. "Well, I was gonna make ya go anyway." He stuck his tongue out at her and stood up. "Get whatever the kids need packed, and call your friend, the drill instructor. I will call Kouga and Miroku after you're finished."

Kagome nodded and took her cell phone out of her pocket, and walked down the hall to pack the kids bags.

He went back into the living room and sat down in the floor to watch TV.

Kagome came back a few hours later, and looked over at Mayu sleeping in the chair and Inu Yasha zoned out in front of the TV. She walked over and scooped the little girl into her arms and taking her into her bedroom, lying her down on her bed, and covering her up again. A smile danced across her lips as she turned to talk back into the living room, flopping down on the couch behind Inu Yasha.

Inu Yasha blinked and turned to look at her. "Well, how did things go?"

She looked at him and yawned, arching a brow. "Fine, I had to wrestle the clothes a couple times, because they just couldn't get enough of me, but that's ok, it went well in the end."

He raised a brow. "And the drill instructor?" Inu Yasha smirked. "Is she coming?"

Kagome nodded and leaned back, closing her eyes. "As is a series of tense muscles and swollen stitches," she grumbled.

"Well, Miroku will enjoy her company," he said with a smile. "The two pains in my side are coming, too. I know Nazuna and okaasan will go."

She looked at him. "What about Kouga?"

Inu Yasha nodded. "Kouga said he will go, he hasn't been to the beach in a few years."

Nodding, she leaned her head back and closed her eyes.

"We will leave in the morning, Miroku is bringing a van for us to ride in," he said as he yawned.

"Go to bed, Inu Yasha."

Inu Yasha snorted. "I'm fine, I haven't been up long." He turned and poked her leg. "You go to bed and rest, I will camp out here on the couch and watch TV."

She arched a brow at him. "I'm going no where. Mayu is asleep in my bed."

He rolled his eyes. "Then sleep in my bed, I don't care."

Kagome smirked slightly and sat up. "You look tense, Inu-kun..." she murmured as she slid off the couch and crawled slowly over to him.

Inu Yasha frowned. "Kagome, don't start," he said as he inched away from her.

She smiled softly and grabbed his collar gently, pulling him close and leaning over him. "Are you afraid of me, Inu Yasha?"

He shook his head. "No, I am afraid of me." He looked off to the side away from her face.

Kagome watched him for a few minutes then kissed his cheek slightly. "Roll over onto your stomach, Inu Yasha."

Inu Yasha snorted and then did as he was asked to do. "What are you up to, Kags?"

She smiled and crawled over him, straddling his waist from behind and slowly lowered herself to sit on top of him. "Getting you to relax," she said softly, reaching forward moving her hands gently up his spine, caressing his muscles.

Inu Yasha's eyes widened. "Kagome, I don't know if we should...do this." He yawned and then closed his eyes.

She ground the heels of her hands into the bundle of muscle up around his neck and shoulder gently. "Is there something wrong with a massage?" she asked quietly.

He grunted in response as he laid there letting her rub his back.

Kagome drug her hands slowly down his back again, slipping her hands under his shirt. "Inu Yasha, are you ok?"

He nodded. "Oh, yeah, I'm fine ..." Inu Yasha mumbled into the carpet.

She smiled and leaned forward, sliding her palms against his shoulder blades.

Inu Yasha moaned. "That feels good, Kagome."

Kagome smirked a little bit in satisfaction and rubbed his sides with soft sensual touches.

Inu Yasha yawned. "We need to get some sleep if we are gonna leave tomorrow."

Kagome smiled and leaned down by his ear. "I suppose so," she whispered. "Are you not enjoying this?"

"It feels good, but its time to go to bed." He said as he started to rise up. "So, if you don't mind, get off my back...please?"

Kagome leaned down and let her body go limp against his. "I don't know," she murmured, "I'm awfully comfortable."

Inu Yasha gave a warning growl. "Get up, Kagome."

The girl giggled playfully. "Why are you always so serious?? Loosen up and have some fun. She nuzzled her face into his back. "Be a kid, ya know?"

"I don't know how...I never got the chance to do that," he grumbled. "Now, get off my back so I can get some sleep."

She gave him a look and wrapped her arms around his neck, rolling over so he was lying onto of her on his back. "Then it's time someone taught you." She wrapped her legs around his waist and reached down, searching for ticklish spots.

Inu Yasha's eye twitched. "I'm not ticklish, Kags."

The girl grinned. "Then I'll have to find something else to make you smile." She rubbed her nose against the curve of his neck, biting down on the soft flesh before reaching up, tangling her hands into his hair and massaging his scalp.

Inu Yasha sighed and gave up. "Ok, I give, go ahead and have your way with me."

Kagome arched a slender brow, and rolled out from under him. She crawled up next to him, looking down at his face. "You shouldn't say that, I may have to hold you to your word."

He tilted his head and put on the I'm-pure-and-innocent act. "Why, whatever do you mean, Kagome?" Inu Yasha asked in a sickeningly sweet voice.

Her still arched brow twitched, and as quick as a flash, she was kneeling between his legs, and pinning him down with her hands on his shoulders.

"I don't know, Inu Yasha... a little bit of this... a little bit of that..." she mumbled, putting on a sultry look as she lowered her body against his and slowly slid down, dragging her hands along his chest and stomach till her chin rested on his waist.

Inu Yasha blinked. "Kagome, you know we can't do this," he said as he closed his eyes.

She sat up and brushed the hair out of her face. "I know." Standing up she walked over to the couch and stretched out with her back to him, curling up into a ball. "Goodnight, Inu Yasha."

He sighed as he rolled over to look at her on the couch. "What do you want me to do, Kagome?"

"I want you to go to bed so I don't have to listen to your bitching while I'm cooped up in some vehicle with you."

Inu Yasha crawled over towards her. "No, I want you to tell me what you want from me."

"A raise would be nice." Kagome's voice was muffled from her hair and her arms that were both blocking her face.

He tilted his head as he cast a curious look. "Kagome..." Inu Yasha said barely above a whisper. "Talk to me."

She sighed and rolled over, staring at his chest. "I am talking..." she muttered.

Inu Yasha lowered his head till he was looking her in the eyes. "What do you want from me?" he asked again.

Carefully, she studied his eyes and his face, unsure of what exactly he was asking. Her silence continued on, dousing the room as her mind tried to figure out exactly what to say.

Inu Yasha frowned and pulled back from her. "Well, I will let you sleep, I will go to bed," he said as he got up and walked towards his room.

Kagome stared after him for a moment then rolled over, staring at the rows of thread woven into the couch. "Goodnight..." she mumbled softly.

"Good night," he said in return as he continued to his room.

The girl sighed, staring at the back of the couch, without really seeing it. What was going on? He should just Frickin' fire her already. Bringing his family into the Hojo mess, putting Mayu into his life and the boys', and further more, she was hitting on him like a mother fucking fast ball.

Finally, she made a decision. She would go with him on the vacation, but only as an obligation as his babysitter and house keeper. That would be all she would act as while they were there. But as soon as they got back, she was putting in her resignation. She rolled over onto her back and stared up at the night sky outside the window. A sigh burst forth from her lips and she closed her eyes.

"Dammit...."

Inu Yasha walked into the room and shut the door behind him. He sat on the bed, feeling awful. "I am such a fucking jerk," Inu Yasha grumbled to himself.

Inu Yasha fell back onto his bed staring at the ceiling. 'What's wrong with me?' he thought. 'I'm almost cheating on Kouga...almost, my ass, you practically are, you fucking low life,' the voice inside his head told him.

He laid there until he fell asleep, staring at the ceiling, still in his clothes.

Mayu jumped and bounced around Sango, all ready to go, her hyper-activeness showing in her twinkling, dancing eyes. "Can we leave yet? Can we leave yet?" she chanted as she danced around the older woman.

Sango laughed and shook her head. "No, not until Inu Yasha gets out here."

Kagome buckled Shippou in and poked his nose smiling. "You ready to get going, squirt?"

Miroku smiled as him and Kouga walked up. "Sango, I hope you have a string bikini to wear."

Kouga rolled his eyes. "Want me to hit him, or do you want the honors?" Kouga asked.

Sango thunked Miroku over the skull, answering Kouga's question.

Inu Yasha came out wearing the same clothes he had on the night before. He walked to the car, bare footed, with a bag over his shoulder and a pair of sandals in the other hand. "Are we ready to go?" he asked.

Kagome looked over at Souta as she strapped a squirming Mayu in. "You two all set?" she smiled widely at them.

Mayu and Souta nodded. "Can we play in the water, Kagome?"

Kouga got into the driver's seat of the van.

Miroku rubbed his head. "Sango, my sweet, that was uncalled for," he pouted.

Inu Yasha laughed. "Oh, man, has he got it bad for you, Sango."

Sango rolled her eyes but could not hide the blush on her cheeks. "Yeah, well I could say the same thing about you and someone, Inu Yasha, so clamp it."

Inu Yasha jumped into the front passenger seat and scowled at Sango.

Nazuna laughed at that then leaned over to start jabbering on to Muuona.

Kagome settled herself in the very back, distancing herself as far as possible from Inu Yasha, and stared out the window as if the scenery was something gilded in the blood of saints.

Miroku jumped into the van and grabbed a window seat.

As the van started down the road Mayu peered up over the seat. "Mommy?" she quipped. "Why are you way back there?"

Kagome thought quickly. "So if we need something, I can get to it quickly."

Mayu nodded. "You never played for us yesterday, Mommy."

Kagome nodded as well. "I know, that's because you guys all ran off and left me."

Inu Yasha dug around in his bag and pulled out some CD's. "Ok, someone make a song request before I throw in AC/DC or something else," he called out.

Kouga laughed as he drove down the interstate "As much as I like them, I don't want to hear back in black for 6 hours straight."

Sango bounded over the seat. "Hoobastank!" she cried out as she beamed brightly.

Inu Yasha pulled out that CD and popped it into the player and turned up the volume.

The older girl squealed and threw her arms around Miroku without thinking. She coughed a couple times and sat back, a dark blush staining her cheeks.

Miroku smirked. "I knew she loved me."

Souta sat in the back, making kissing noises at Miroku and Sango. "They are gonna have babies." He laughed and pointed to them.

Mayu giggled and ducked her head. She bopped her head to the music and shook her butt in the seat.

Sango glared out the window, her arms folded over her chest.

Meanwhile, a girl alone in the seat furthest back, was staring at the ebony head poking up from the passenger seat. She forced herself to tear her eyes away and stare out the window. 'Babysitter,' she reminded herself.

Inu Yasha yawned and rolled down the window and then pulled out a cigarette and lit it. "Who wants one while I have them out?" he called out holding a pack of Winston's in the air.

Mayu made a face. "Ewwwww!! Smoking's bad!" she exclaimed.

He laughed. "I know, but who wants to live forever?" He said as he put the cigarettes away.

Sango made a face and Inu Yasha in the mirror.

His sister threw a stuffed animal up at him, bopping him in the back of the head. "Mwuahahaha! SCORE!!"

Inu Yasha rolled his eyes. "Spoil sports." He turned around and pulled his eye lid down and stuck his tongue out at them.

Kouga laughed. "Oh, that's mature, Inu Yasha."

Mayu made the same face back at him. "Na, na, na!!"

Kagome pulled her legs up into the seat, watching the trees fly by as the van sped along the rode. She could already tell that it was going to be a long ride.
