Chapter 30) Pointless fluff and the start of Kagome's visit.

~Training area next day~

Kagome could only stare at the camp Lina had built for Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's training in awe.

The buildings were quite large and in a western fashion. The sloped roofs and lodges were polished to a gleaming shine and the early morning light reflected off the logs with a rosy hue.

The main lodge was before her now after Lina had awoken her early this morning and patted her on the back reassuringly as she had instructed Miroku to practice like yesterday. Telling him that they were going to the training area only seemed to make him grimace for a short while after Lina let him go back to sleep in his blankets upon some fragrant grass, under some trees lining the way to camp.

Now with a gesture, Lina directed Kagome up the steps and into the lodge where she was invited to rest in a chair off to the right that was situated between two Freudian style couches in a rich red velvety cloth.

Sitting down, Kagome studied the room as Lina walked to the wall on the far side of the room where a blue and green door sided beside each other, evenly spaced along the wall.

From where she sat upon the black leather chair, Kagome couldn't resist reaching out and running a palm along the fabric of the right couch as she studied the dining area that was along the farther wall.

A western table of cherry wood gleamed in the early morning light as several picture windows let in light along that wall and the one behind her. Estimating it to be at lease six feet in length, Kagome wondered how it had gotten into the room. Looking behind it and its set of six western style wooden chairs, Kagome noticed the built in shelves, which housed an odd assortment of earthenware bowl/plates, and a box of black lacquer chop sticks.

Redirecting her attention she looked to the middle of the huge room and to the back of both areas, she noted the pit in the center of the room for fire. Looking at the fireplace in interest, Kagome wondered how Lina had shaped the beaten copper tube that bent over the fire and flared out to a distance of five feet in circumference at the bottom, above the fire.

(A/N: Think about the fireplace that was in the beach house in the movie "Millennium man" if you need a better visual reference.)

Suddenly after the small amount of silence and her study of the room, Kagome redirected her gaze to Lina who had been rapping her knuckles against the doors for the past few moments and noted the annoyed look on her face.

Grinning at the youkai when she noted her intent look, Lina smiled evilly and stepped back from the doors.

Holding her gaze, Lina raised her right hand, fingers extended, Kagome wondered as she lowered each finger slowly. When her hand was fisted though, Kagome jumped when, after a deep breath, Lina roared.

"GET UP NOW!!!!!!!"

Eyes wide, Kagome could only stare, as Lina's grin only got eviler at the solid thumping sounds coming from behind both doors and smiled as she heard the matching bellows.

"GRAMS!!! DAM YOU!"

"LINA!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

Eyes twinkling, Lina walked over to the left couch in front of Kagome, and to Kagome's surprise, after only a few seconds, looked totally innocent of all wrongdoing.

Whispering and looking at the doors in female wonder, Kagome asked Lina the question that was itching to escape. "How do you do that?"

"Do what?" Lina asked with her calm voice and angelic expression as her gaze darted from Kagome to the two doors a few times before she grinned in a very innocent way and focused on Kagome.

"Go from evil to innocent in the blink of an eye." Kagome said in a tone as if wanting to know how the earth had started life.

Grinning evilly for a moment, Lina replied before going angelic again. "Practice."

At that moment, a rather haggard Inuyasha staggered out of the green door to stare blearily at Lina and Kagome before realizing he only had on his pants.

Turning to go after his upper robes, Inuyasha grumpily commented before leaving the room. "You could have chosen a nicer way for the morning wake up call."

Raising her voice and dropping her innocent expression for a teasing tone, Lina replied from her lazy position, laying on the couch. "But what fun would that be?"

Lina laughed as Kagome tried to stifle hers when Inuyasha could be heard grumbling through the doorway.

As the two waited, the blue door opened and Sesshomaru entered the room with his usual cool look.

Allowing an annoyed tone out for a moment as he directed his gaze at Lina, Sesshomaru commented as he came toward them. "Good morning… Grams."

"Hello Sesshomaru. Could you wait here a moment with Kagome as I go wake up my mate?" Lina questioned as she rose and met her grandson near the fire pit.

"If you wish." Sesshomaru replied as he passed his grandmother, receiving a pat on the shoulder as he passed.

"I wish for a lot Ses, so don't leave that so open." Lina replied as she grinned evilly at him before back tracking and out the front door.

Silence descended for a short while as Kagome looked at Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru looked at Kagome. Raising her brows at him she almost shared a pained look before Inuyasha came into the room and the tension eased.

"Dam Lina. That floor is cold." Inuyasha grumbled as he came out of his room to set down look at Kagome with a scowl from his new position on middle of the couch to her right

Reaching out, Kagome palmed one of his hands as his scowl lifted and he visibly pouted as he looked down.

"Aren't you happy to see me at all Inuyasha?" Kagome asked teasingly she reached out with her other hand and lifted his head to look at her as she placed her warm, soft hand under his chin.

A few moments passed as his eyes searched her and his pout turned into a toothy grin.

Feeling the undercurrent between the two, Sesshomaru feeling like a third wheel, went to the porch to wait for Joseph and Lina to show up.

Left alone in the room, Kagome and Inuyasha hardly noticed as he lifted her hand that clasped his to his mouth to kiss with a now tender look.

Kagome could only share his look as she let her mischievous hand to trail from his chin, and up to his left ear to tease the fir there.

Grinning evilly when Inuyasha's eyes closed and he leaned into her hand with a moan of near ecstasy, Kagome let her eyes dart towards the door as she moved to set beside Inuyasha and giggled as he followed her hand with his head until he was resting in her lap.

Using both hands now, Kagome couldn't cover a large shake of her head as Inuyasha purred in pleasure. Mentally picturing him with a tail like Sesshomaru's, Kagome could not hold in another loud laugh, knowing quite well that Inuyasha would be wagging his with gusto right about now.

Grinning, Kagome caught sight of a blur as she noticed Sesshomaru ducking in a moment to see what was up. Smiling to herself now, Kagome couldn't help noting the look of appalled fascination on his face for the moment he had looked in. Smiling secretively, Kagome could only wonder what was going through his mind and knew to talk to Lina about him.

Smiling evilly, Kagome could only grin wider as Sesshomaru ducked in a second time as if he didn't believe it the first time. Catching his gaze for a moment, Kagome noted his eyes widen as he noticed him being caught. Sticking her tong out at him a moment, Kagome noted the puzzled look on his face before he ducked back out again.

Smiling to herself now, Kagome mentally noted that Inuyasha's brother had just shown at least three facial expressions in the last few moments. Grinning from ear to ear, Kagome wondered what was up with him. If she didn't know better, she would say that he was almost acting human.

Looking down at her puppy, Kagome could only laugh as he let out another hart felt moan at whatever pleasure he was getting from his petting.

Wondering absently about if his stomach was just as sensitive as some dogs, Kagome let go of an ear and lightly scratched his stomach, only to have him freeze, still purring. Apparently the stomach was a bit more sensitive to dog demons than dogs.

Looking down and into his passionate gaze, Kagome noticed a gruff cough from outside as she guiltily looked at the door and back down at the grinning Inuyasha. Filing the stomach thing back in her mind, Kagome tugged on both his ears gently in affection before kissing him deeply from her bent over position.

Kissing briefly again, in the awkward position, Kagome lifted her head and shared an intimate look with Inuyasha as they rested comfortably, Kagome petted his hair softly as they both focused their attention on the front door and waited.
