InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Little Moments ❯ Things That Go Bump in the Night ( Chapter 33 )

[ 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 at least one update a week unless otherwise noted. Now on with the show!

Little Moments – Things That Go Bump in the Night

Kagome cursed herself as Inuyasha unlocked the front door. Why did I agree to see that movie?

It was double date night with Sango and Miroku, and it was the boy's turn to choose the movie. They had decided on the newest scary flick, and since everyone seemed so excited to see it, Kagome didn't have the heart to say no.

But she hated scary movies.

She had spent most of the movie trembling in her seat with her hands over her face, nearly leaping into Inuyasha's lap every time the killer popped up unexpectedly. She could still remember the screams.

Glancing back over her shoulder for the hundredth time, just to make sure they were alone, Kagome followed her mate into the house. She waited nervously for him to hit the lights, worrying her bottom lip between her teeth. Was it her or was he taking an abnormally long time to turn on the switch?

"Inu?" she called anxiously, hugging her arms to her chest. Her voice seemed to echo in the darkness.

Before she could take a step and call out again, something grabbed her and growled frightfully. Kagome shrieked, twisting her body to fight off her attacker. However, just as quick as it began, she was released and hysterical laughter filled the air. She ran to the switch, flicking it on, the light revealing her snickering husband bent nearly double with laughter. He braced himself with his hands on his knees, tears beginning to form at the corners of his eyes.

Kagome's face heated with embarrassment, quickly followed by indignant anger. She kicked him hard in the shins, effectively cutting off his amusement with a yelp. "You jerk! You scared the wits outta me!"

Inuyasha managed to get a hold of himself, walking over to take the steaming woman into his arms. "I'm sorry Kagome," he muttered, ears drooped apologetically, "You just looked so cute standing there, I couldn't help myself. You know I'd never let anything happen to you right?"

She eyed him warily before letting a smile slide onto her face. "Ya I know. But you're still a jerk."

Inuyasha barked out a laugh. "That I am, wench."

The two headed for their room to get ready for bed, Kagome flicking lights on as she went. It might as well have been midday in their house. After undressing and brushing their teeth, the happy couple snuggled into the sheets, Kagome's face resting on his chest, his arms effectively sheltering her from any harm.

To Inuyasha's credit, he didn't say a word as they fell asleep, with every single light in the house turned on.

A/N: Hey guys! I don't know about you, but I can't stand scary movies. I would never be able to get to sleep! And I don't know why, but turning all the lights on in the house always seem to make it a little better. As usual I have to give some love to my loyal reviewers, SplendentGoddess and inuyashaloverr! I hope you enjoyed this one ^_^
