InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Little Moments ❯ Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder ( Chapter 12 )
[ 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! I also am unsure as to how often I will update, but we'll take it was we go. Now on with the show!
Little Moments – Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
They had only begun the second day of their beach vacation when Inuyasha got an unexpected call from his half brother. Surprisingly, Sesshoumaru needed his help. As loathe as he was to admit it, Inuyasha was an exceptional salesman. The deal they had been trying to close for months was finally coming through, but the old man only wanted to deal with him.
Inuyasha had cast her a guilty look and was about to refuse when Kagome cut him off. She didn't want to ruin the tenuous bond they had managed to develop.
"Go help your brother," she had said.
Inuyasha had gruffly agreed to help Sesshoumaru out, but Kagome could tell he was secretly tickled pink about the idea that his brother needed him. So they had packed their things and Kagome dropped him off at the airport with a kiss. That was a week ago.
Kagome liked to think of herself as an independent woman, that she wouldn't lose herself when her man was gone. She prided herself on being self-sufficient. It wasn't until the third day that she noticed herself cracking.
The house was suddenly too quiet. Their bed was too empty and cold. She found herself setting an extra plate at the table and watching the clock, wondering why he was so late from work. It was as if she had lost a part of herself and didn't even realize it. A dull ache had set in her chest.
Now she was standing in the airport waiting area, fidgeting nervously and checking her watch. He should be here any minute now. When she caught a flash of silver her feet took over. She ignored the shouts of 'Ma'am you can't go back there!' and picked up the pace as golden eyes widened.
Inuyasha grinned at the sight of his mate sprinting towards him with security hot on her tail. He jogged to meet her, bracing for impact since she didn't seem to be slowing down.
She slammed into him, arms and legs wrapping around his torso. Suddenly, the ache was gone and she could finally breathe again. He was home.
Inuyasha chuckled as he nosed in her hair. "Miss me wench?"
Kagome pulled back, happy tears pricking at her eyes. "Pft. Not really" she grinned.
Inuyasha leaned in for a kiss. "Missed you too," he mumbled against her lips.
A tap on his shoulder pulled the happy couple apart. A very annoyed security guard looked pointedly at them. Kagome winced while Inuyasha tried to cover up a laugh. "Suppose we'll be moving along then?" she blushed.
The guard eyed the cute couple, the woman still wrapped bodily around the man. He shrugged. "Let's not have this happen again. Get on home you two."
Inuyasha smirked. "Oh I planned on taking her straight home sir. In fact I think you should go right to bed Missy," he chuckled. Swinging Kagome into his arms bridal style, Inuyasha headed for the door. The guard shook his head, a smile teasing at the corner of his mouth. "Ah, young love."
A/N: Haha so I'm glad to hear I am not the only baby when it comes to open water. I wasn't entirely happy with this chapter, but it just wouldn't cooperate with me! Hope it's OK. Special thanks to recent reviewers inuyashaloverr and SplendentGoddess! I'll try to think of someway Kagome can get Inu back! Lemme know what you think ^_^
