Chapter 11: Inuyasha SleepsInuyasha made the trip back to Kaed's hut in a matter of minutes, but it wasn't quick enough. Kagome slept peacefully on his back, and he had no intention of waking her. He entered the hut they had shared with the gang last night and lay Kagome down on her bedroll. Miroku was still sleeping, the puddle of drool beside his head was growing to resemble more of a small lake. Kagome stirred."Inu..yasha?""I'm right here Kagome go back to sleep, your'e tired.""Stay.""I'm not going anywhere, just go to sleep.""Promise.""Keh! Sleep wench."Kagome grabbed his hand and he let her pull him down beside her bedroll. She then slid towards him, and nuzzled her head in his lap. Inuyasha felt a tug at his abdomen."Kagome..?"She was already asleep. He shifted slightly to relieve some of his discomfort, careful not to disturb her. Then he leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes. For the first time that he could remember he felt like he could sleep safely.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sango and Shippou had been out helping to gather herbs with Kaede. Sango had thought to wake Miroku and drag him along, but the poor guy had been sleeping so peacefully, she hadn't wanted to wake him. He looked almost harmless as he slept, no one would know how perverted he was by looking at him. As they approached the hut, Shippou looked at Sango thoughtfully and then smiled knowingly at her."Inuyahsha's back!"Sango's thoughts lifted from Miroku and she laughed as Shippou hurried into the hut to greet his friends. Followed closely by Kilala, Sango ran after him. When she reached the door of the hut she covered her mouth to stifle a gasp. Kagome lay there sleeping her head resting in the lap of the happiest looking Hanyou that Sango had ever seen. Inuyasha's eyes were closed and his ears were flat against his head, they didn't even twitch to acknowlege her presence. Sango's shock turned to a warm fuzzy feeling. Inuyasha was asleep, really asleep."Come on Shippou, " Sango whispered, "lets go for a walk. I'll bet Kilala would let you practice foxfire with her."Shippou's face immediately became ultra bright, "Alright!!"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Miroku had dissapeared by the time that Inuyasha opened his eyes. Why didn't I hear him leave? The realization hit him like a dance of blades. I was sleeping so deeply I didn't hear him leave. The obnoxious monk? What's wrong with me? Kagome had shifted to her side at some point during their nap and her face was now snuggled deeply into his stomach. Forcing a visceral groan from his dry throat, Inuyasha shifted Kagome gently onto her back, and then couldn't resist brushing the hair from her eyes with his claws. He wanted to keep touching her, to taste her, but he held back, as he always did, content to just be close to her. The sounds of battle stirred him from his provocative thoughts, and crash landed him back in the hut, with Kagome still in his arms. This time his growl was menacing and Kagome stirred then sat straight up blushing furiously."Inuyasha?""Sshh...." Inuyasha gently shifted her away then ran out of the hut.Kagome stood to follow, but she didn't need to, as soon as she reached the exit she saw Inuyasha carrying a very frightened looking Shippou towards the hut by the tail."I was just practicing."Kilala, fully transformed followed behind the pair growling, obviously irritated."You can't go practicing your foxfire on Kilala without telling anyone you Idiot! I can't believe you woke me up with this shit."Kagome smiled inwardly, but yelled in a mean tone to Inuyasha, "Put him down, don't make me say it.""Keh"Inuyasha released the poor kitsune, but not before giving him one last thump on the head for good measure. Shippou ran away as fast as he could and launched himself into Kagome's arms."I was just practicing, and Sango said I could.""It's okay Shippou, Inuyasha was just worried, you should have let us know too. Promise you will the next time.""Okay Kagome I promise....Can I go play now?""Sure, but don't stray from the villiage.""Okay"Shippou then ran off to play with the villiage children, happily followed by a little Kilala, who was prancing along cutely to intice the kids into feeding her treats."Where is he going?"Kagome almost smiled when she saw how protective Inuyasha was being."I told him he could go play.""Well I told him he had to sit in the hut and think about what could have happened in the forest .""You tried to punish him?""Well someone needs to!"Kagome covered her mouth, and giggled."Inuyasha he had permission from Sango to practice his foxfire with Kilala, he was perfectly safe, you worry too much.""Feh, I was not worried."Kagome sighed.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~
