InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Little Moments ❯ Are We There Yet? ( Chapter 7 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
So I decided to take a stab at a drabble series. I have been largely inspired by my favorite authoress, Forthright. I highly suggest you check out her stuff. Its amazing! This particular idea was given to me as I listened to "Little Moments" by Brad Paisley.
Explanation: This series will follow the first year of the newly mated couple of Kagome and Inuyasha. It will be small highlights throughout their relationship, moments when they remind each other why they love one another.
Disclaimer: I claim no ownership over these characters. They belong to the lovely Rumiko Takahashi! I just like to borrow them from time to time.
Updates will be short! Now on with the show!
Edit: Updated only to fix some typos >.<

Little Moments - Are We There Yet?

"Kagome, are you sure we are going the right way?" Inuyasha asked, carefully looking out the corner of his eye as he drove. They had been on the road for hours it seemed.

The ruffle of the giant map his mate held was his only response. That, and some angry grumblings that he couldn't make out.

"Kagome?" he asked again, a little louder this time.

Kagome jumped, almost squashing the paper in her hands. "Eh? Oh...um, give me a minute, I'm trying to figure this out."

Inuyasha sighed as he turned his attention back to the road. It was a small winding street, nothing but trees on either side. They were on their way to a cabin to meet their friends Sango and Miroku. They had planned to spend the weekend together up in the mountains.

'That is if we ever find the place,' Inuyasha thought wryly. He glanced over at Kagome again, eyes wary. 'Does she have the damn thing upside down?'

A few more minutes passed in silence when Kagome let out an impressive growl. Inuyasha looked to her, surprised, as she balled up the map angrily and threw it at the dash. She was off on a tangent, muttering about stupid mountain roads ("Where are all the rotten road signs?!), trees, maps, and how they were going to die all alone in the wilderness.

Inuyasha was just smart enough to keep his 'I told you so' remarks to himself. He had suggested they borrow his brother's GPS, but she insisted that she could navigate them. "It'll be like and adventure!" she had said. Not one to deny her much, Inuyasha had reluctantly agreed.

Inuyasha let out a chuckle as her rant came to an end and she turned a watery gaze on to him. "I think we're lost Inu" she muttered dejectedly.

"Keh, I kinda got that when you killed that poor helpless map."

Kagome blushed. "Let's just pull over at the next place we see and ask for directions."

Inuyasha grunted his agreement and again focused back on the road. Luckily for them, they didn't have to wait long. After another fifteen minutes of driving, a small bed and breakfast appeared. Inuyasha pulled into the parking lot and cut the engine. The hanyou made up his mind after taking one look at his mate's frown.

Getting out of the truck, Inuyasha circled around to the passenger side. He opened the door and met her look of curiosity with a smirk.

"You want me to go in and ask?

Inuyasha shook his head. "How about we stay here a day? I'm sure Miroku and Sango won't mind being alone for one night" he said, holding out his hand to her.

Kagome blinked at his offered hand before taking it with a happy smile. "Sure, sounds great" she laughed, already digging out her phone with the other hand to give their friends a heads up. Just as she started to dial, Inuyasha swept her up into his arms, taking off towards the building. He smiled down at her startled face.

"Come on wench, I ain't got all day!"

His response was a well deserved tweak to the ear, quickly followed by a loving kiss.

A/N: Hope you enjoyed it! Poor Kagome, I know how confusing some of those small mountain roads can be! Hope you liked this one. I wanna thank SplendentGoddess and RubyJewel for such kind reviews! Your words really mean a lot, I'm glad you enjoy it. ^_^
