Ch 8 The morning after

Sesshoumaru's eyes flew open, and he looked around, searching for Rin or Jaken before he remembered where he was. He looked over at the rising sun, then inside the house, in each room. Kai was sleeping still, and her two brothers were wrapped up in her tail, undoubtedly drugged by her scent. Inuyasha and his woman, Kagome, still lay in her bed, Inuyasha just starting to stir. He couldn't see where the third brother was, but the human boy was in the tangled mass of sheets he called his bed.

Inuyasha yawned and stretched, noting Kagome's still-sleeping form beside him. Should he stay put, or go ahead and see who else was awake? He wanted to stay here with her, but knew that if it was Kagome, she would tell him it was "only polite" to get up and check on their guests. He vowed that if they were still sleeping, he would return, and disentangled himself from her arms, silently moving down the hall to where he knew Juro was sleeping. He pressed his ear against the door, hoping to be able to hear his breathing pattern. Smooth and even… must be still asleep. As was Souta. He slowly creeped downstairs and saw the three demons sleeping peacefully. Well, back to bed for him. He smiled and turned around, sneaking back to Kagome's room and crawling back into bed with her, wrapping his arms around her and holding her close.

Kai cracked open an eye at Inuyasha's retreating form, smiling to herself. She looked down at the two sleeping boys before pulling her tail away from them. She watched as they reached out for it, and began to feel around for the fluffiness that had just left them, only to end up grabbing each other's tails. She smiled and tapped each one on the forehead, a sign to wake up, but to be quiet about it. As two pairs of sleepy eyes looked at her, she grinned and jerked her thumb in the direction of the kitchen. They understood immediately, and sat up quickly. Kai pointed at Kaedo and then upstairs, then reached out and tugged on his black hair gently. Kaedo nodded, getting the silent message that roughly translated to: We're making breakfast. Go wake up Juro.

Juro felt something tapping against his forehead, and went to swat it away. Damn it, he thought, I thought Kai's shield… KAI! He sat up straight, his eyes flying open as he looked around to see why he had been woken like that. He looked to his left and saw Kaedo standing there, smiling at him. Kaedo placed a finger to his lips, and pointed to the other rooms, feigning sleep. Then he pointed at the ground, and placed three fingers against his cheek. Juro understood and nodded. He smiled, wondering what was up. He thought about Kaedo's silent message. `Quiet, they're still sleeping. Kai wants you to come downstairs'.

Taisho looked at his elder sister, who was trying to decide what to make, unsure if Inuyasha or the humans ate eggs. Finally, she shrugged and held up two fingers, then made a motion like she was tapping people's heads. Taisho nodded, and got 2 eggs for each person. Kai smiled and grabbed a package of bacon out of the fridge. Kaedo and Juro came in only moments later, and Kai handed Juro the bacon, drawing her finger down the middle, silently telling him to cut them in half. Juro nodded and went in search of a knife.

Taisho took his eggs and went to the bowl Kai had set out for him, cracking each one quietly before mixing them all up. Kaedo and Kai worked together on the pancake mix, and when they were ready, they each grabbed a skillet. Kai pointed to Taisho first, so he hurriedly made his scrambled eggs and set them on a plate to the side to cool while he washed the skillet in order to be ready for Juro's bacon, which he knew would be last.

Kaedo grinned as he poured the pancake mix into the skillet, listening to his brother try to splash as little as possible as he cleaned and dried the other skillet before handing it to Juro, who was waiting for his turn at the stove. Kaedo watched Kai flip the pancakes before moving them onto a separate plate. After they had enough pancakes for each person to have 2, it was Kaedo's turn to clean. Kai took a deep breath and nodded to Juro, who nodded back and stepped forward, ready to fry some bacon, while Kai began to set the table for their hosts.

Kagome's eyes opened at the sound of frying bacon, which convinced her she wasn't suffering from delusions of a delicious smelling breakfast. She looked at Inuyasha, whose eyes were still closed, but his nose was in the air, sniffing. She grinned she kissed his cheek lightly. "Good morning, sleepy-head," she whispered. He smiled and finally opened his eyes, before leaning in and kissing her back. When they finally broke the kiss, he looked towards the door, where they could hear sizzling bacon, and back at her with a curious expression. She merely smiled. "I had nothing to do with this. Why do I have a feeling those four did?"

Sesshoumaru stopped and stared into the window. Only moments ago he had seen all three demons sleeping in there, and now, after he went in search of fresh water to clear his throat, they were all gone, Inuyasha and his woman were awake, and he could even see the little human stirring. Then the smell hit him. It was glorious. He followed the scent and found himself looking in a window at Juro, who was cooking something that just teased at his nostrils, Kaedo who was currently cleaning something in a sink full of water, and Kai, with Taisho helping her as she set places at the table. Unfortunately, as he took in the scene, he failed to make sure no one could see him. So it came as a surprise to him when he looked back to Kaedo only to find himself staring into a pair of blue eyes.
