InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Little Moments ❯ When Dust Bunnies Attack ( Chapter 29 )

[ 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! You can expect to see a few updates a week unless otherwise noted. Now on with the show!

Little Moments – When Dust Bunnies Attack

Kagome grimaced as she looked around the house. Granted, she had been busy these past few weeks, but it was a poor excuse when taking in the state of things. The place was a wreck. Dishes were piled precariously in the sink and a mountain of dirty clothes spilled out of the hamper and onto the floor. Everything was a disorganized mess and to top it off, there were tumbleweeds of Buyo's hair rolling down the hall.

Kagome took a deep breath before steeling her resolve, putting on her game face. Time to get to work. "Alright Kagome, you can do this," she said, cranking up the stereo. She found she worked better when her favorite tunes were playing.

Kagome decided to see to the dishes first, thinking that was where the odd smell she had noticed was coming from. She worked quickly, but couldn't fight the occasional gag at the fuzzy things growing in the sink. "I don't even remember making meatloaf..." she thought out loud with a frown.

It wasn't long before the dishes were sparkling on the drying rack. She flew around in a flurry of activity, straightening, organizing and rearranging. She swept the floors, started the laundry and vacuumed the rugs.

Wiping her brow, Kagome plopped onto the couch after a few hours with a sigh. She looked around with satisfaction, pleased with her results. She had one more task to tackle before calling it quits; dust bunnies.

Armed with a Swiffer, Kagome attacked with gusto. Her movements, however, kicked up a cloud, dust getting into her eye. "Ack!" she cried, hand flying up to rub furiously at the culprit. Her eye felt gritty and stung with red hot pain. She knelt on the floor with a groan, shaking her fist at the remaining bunnies.

"Ow, ow, ow!" She glared ineffectually with her good eye. "You are a formidable adversary, dust bunny, but I shall lay waste to your cities and Swiffer up your children!"

This was how Inuyasha found her, muttering obscenities to inanimate objects. He was slightly concerned for her sanity. "Ah, Kagome?"

She jumped, twirling around to face his direction with a blush. "How long have you been standing there?" she asked nervously.

"Long enough to hear how you are going to vanquish their empire and end their evil dust bunny agenda?" He chuckled at her groan, but noticed she had her right eye squeezed shut. "What's up with your eye?"

Kagome rubbed it with a finger and pouted. "There's something in it."

Inuyasha grinned cheekily. "Ya, your finger."

Kagome's face deadpanned. "Oh, ha ha," she drolled sarcastically. "What are you, my mother? That joke is so lame."

"Keh. I thought it was funny."

"Well, it's not," she muttered dismissively, once again trying to dislodge the dust particle.

Inuyasha sighed and walked over to her, grabbing her chin. "Lemme see."

Kagome shrank back slightly as his very sharp claws came very close to her eye, but he snapped at her to sit still. After a few uncomfortable minutes, Kagome found herself blinking at a small piece of dust pinched neatly between his claws.

"Got it," he smirked triumphantly.

Kagome blinked rapidly, her eye still tearing, but its function slowing returning. She cheered. "I knew I married you for a reason! I could almost kiss you."

"Almost?" he asked with an arched brow.

"Yes, almost," she said snootily, sashaying out of the room.

Inuyasha grumbled as he crossed his arms over his chest. Ungrateful woman. He lost himself in his mutterings, not noticing as Kagome bounced back into the room. He was pulled from his thoughts as she grasped his forelocks and tugged him down into a bruising kiss. His eyes widened comically.

"My hero," she whispered against his lips, smiling at his dazed expression.

Inuyasha could only blink as she once again picked up her Swiffer and attacked her dust bunny foes with a mad cackle. She certainly was a crazy wench, but he wouldn't have her any other way.

A/N: Hello everyone! Yay for a faster update! Sadly, my house was in this sad state, but as I was cleaning I had this weird image of Kagome battling dust bunnies, and thus this chapter was born haha. As always, thank you SpendentGoddess for being so wonderful! Your reviews make me smile! Hope you like this one ^_^
