InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Little Moments ❯ Or I'll Huff and I'll Puff ( Chapter 45 )

[ 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 continue to update when I can. Now on with the show!

Little Moments – Or I'll Huff and I'll Puff

"Inuyasha, I swear, if you don't open this door right now, I will purify those fuzzy little ears off of your stupid head!"

A snort of laughter answered her from the relative safety on the other side of the door. "Keh! Doesn't sound like much incentive for me to let you in." There was a pause before he added, "Besides, you love my ears. You'd regret it later."

Kagome groaned, giving the door a good slap. "Come on! You have been in there forever. I need to get ready too! We have to be at Mama's in little over an hour."

"Use the other bathroom wench."

"But all my stuff is in there!" she whined pitifully. "Why is this door even locked? You never lock the door."

"Kami forbid I'd want some privacy."

"You've been in there over an hour, you have lost the privilege for privacy!" She paused, her mouth turning down in a frown as she thought. "You're not doing something dirty in there are you? Inuyasha, you better not be! Open the dang do...!"

She had her fist poised to start again when it flung open, interrupting her tirade. Inuyasha stood before her in all his half naked glory, a towel wrapped dangerously low on his hips. He was still damp from the shower, a comb clutched in one of his hands. He must have been attempting to tame his wild tresses.

Kagome was momentarily distracted by the sight before she mentally shook herself. Focus girl, we have a deadline to make!

Of course her hanyou noticed the slip up. "See something you like?" he asked, waggling his eyebrows suggestively.

She pushed past him to turn on the water, biting out a petulant "no." She ignored his laugh and began to shed her clothing, skillfully avoiding lecherous hands. Once under the warm shower spray, her anger melted and her curiosity took over. "Why are you spending so much time getting ready? We're just going to see my family. It's not like they haven't met you."

The silence stretched, and just when she thought he wasn't going to answer, his gruff voice carried quietly across the room. "Ya well, it never hurts to put a little effort in. Your grandfather already can't stand me, might as well play it safe." He chuckled to himself, his voice returning to his sarcastic drawl. "Besides, perfection like this takes time."

Kagome's face softened at his attempt to cover up the moment. She forgot sometimes how self-conscious the man could be, but honestly she had no idea what he was talking about. Yes, her grandfather was a little eccentric. He never quite got over the fact that his little priestess married a half demon, but she was sure he would get over that once he had little great grand babies to spoil.

As for Mama and Souta, they both simply adored him. Sometimes when they were all together, she felt like the outsider. No, Kagome was positive there was little her mate could do to change their opinion of him. "Ya? And what is being late going to do huh? You know Mama likes us to be on time."

Pausing as he fumbled around in the bathroom drawers, Inuyasha snorted. "I'll just blame that on you. We all know being on time isn't your strong suit."

The sound of a hair dryer turning on drowned out her outraged huff. Well we'll see who gets the last laugh, Kagome thought to herself. See how he likes it if I don't stop grandpa's purification attempts. Hope you like sutras slapped on your face jerk!

And yes, for the record, they did end up being late.

A/N: Hello again my dears! Hope you enjoyed this update! Sometimes my husband takes forever getting ready. I'm always like, who is the girl in this relationship here? Haha. And thank you for the lovely review Splendent. You unintentional pun made me giggle. <3!
