InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Little Moments ❯ Stubborn Dog! ( Chapter 36 )

[ 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 will be updating at least once a week unless noted otherwise. Now on with the show!

Little Moments – Stubborn Dog!

"Please Inu?"

He scowled at her, his resolve standing firm. Kagome sat before him swathed in a large, comfy blanket sporting her best pout.

"No. It's not cold enough to turn the heat on."

Kagome's eyebrows shot up before she stormed over to the thermostat. Pointing an accusing finger at it, she growled. "It's 65 degrees in here! Feel my hands! Do you want me to lose my extremities to frost bite? Is that what you want?!"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes at his over-dramatic mate. Walking over to her, he placed his hands on her shoulders and kissed the top of her head. She smiled sweetly up at him, thinking she'd won, when he smirked down at her.

"Nice try wench, put on a sweater."

With an indignant huff, she pushed him and stormed off. Inuyasha chuckled and turned to go to his office. As he sat at his computer he vaguely heard her settle on the couch and click the TV on. Keh. Guess the wench was going to avoid him now.

A few hours later, Inuyasha looked at the clock, startled that so much time had gotten away from him. It was well after midnight. He could still hear the TV, so he shut down his computer and ventured into the living room.

The TV droned away, but what interested him was the large pile of comforters on the couch, or more precisely, the tiny woman cocooned inside. He pulled back the covers and had to bite back a howl of laughter. Kagome had fallen asleep, wearing what looked like nearly every piece of warm clothing she owned. Multiple sweaters, sweat pants, wooly socks, mittens, and even that ridiculous Domo beanie he bought her last Christmas.

With a quiet sigh he made quick work of disentangling her, moving gently so as not to wake her. Hefting her into his arms bridal style, she turned her face to nuzzle into his neck. She trembled slightly at being removed from the warmth of her blankets. He felt her lips moving against his skin as she sleepily mumbled something about "stubborn dogs" and "freezing." He headed towards their bedroom, but flicked the heat on as he walked by.

Keh. Sneaky wenches.

A/N: Hello all! I recently had this fight with my own husband. He can be so stubborn over that dang thermostat. I had to resort to guilt trips and dressing ridiculously to get him to concede, though he will only put it to 70. Haha I guess I am cold-natured. And so nice to hear from you Splendent! Thank you for sticking around! And PS...I secretly love Tim Gunn ^_^
