InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love Me as I Am ❯ Relationships of the Past ( Chapter 9 )

Disclaimer: Time for a different disclaimer. I wish I could own Inuyasha, but alas…I do not. Hey look! *points to a person in the audience* Is that an earwax flavored jelly bean?! (erm…sorry…reminded me of Harry Potter)

Love Me as I Am

Chapter 9- Relationships of the Past

Trinity and Suki chatted all the way home about the situation.

"…and it felt like dad was behind me the whole time." Suki explained.

Maybe that's because, he was.

"Stupid villagers. I never really did like them." Inuyasha muttered. He was very protective of Suki.

Kanaye shrugged.

"It still doesn't feel right."

"Huh?"

"We're spying on her."

Inuyasha sighed.

"Well what do you expect me to do? Let them force themselves on her?"

Kanaye shook his head.

"No but--"

"That AIN'T gonna happen."

"She's a headstrong girl. She can take care of herself."

But all together Inuyasha wasn't all that sure.

"Feh. Fine. I'll leave her alone."

~*~*~

Kagome packed her things and got ready to return home. Sota had been visiting from college.

He had to be leaving soon too.

"Mom. Are you sure you'll be all right?"

She nodded.

"I'll be fine Kagome." She was beginning to look older than she used to be. There wasn't much for her to do around the house anymore now that Sota had gone off to college. He had come to visit and was in his room at the moment.

Kagome gave her mom a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I'll miss you."

Sota walked into the room.

"Leavin' already sis? You don't even say by to me anymore."

Kagome smiled.

"Bye Sota. Tell Kara I said 'hi'."

Kara was Sota's new girlfriend.

He nodded and Kagome took off towards the shrine.

She appeared on the other side and took a beeline towards home.

Trinity spotted Kagome.

"Hey Suki. I think you're mom's back…oh my…"

"What?" Suki said, looking all around.

Trinity took a second glance at Kagome then looked back at Suki.

"Did you ever notice how much you look like your mom?" she pointed out.

Suki blinked.

"No…not really…"

"It's scary…It really is."

Trinity looked like Sango, but then again she had quite a bit of Miroku in her as well. It was a nice blend.

Suki brushed some tendrils of hair out of her face. She didn't know if she was supposed to take that as a compliment or an insult but decided to take it as a compliment. Trinity wasn't one to insult people.

Inuyasha and Kanaye made it back to the house before any of the girls did. Kanaye took his sword. It was one forged by Totosai that was made to be almost as powerful as Tetsusaiga, Teksaiga he called it. Apparently he had run out of names. He brought it behind the house. Finding some wood that was eligible to be chopped he picked up his sword and threw a piece of wood into the air.

'What the hay, we'll need more fire wood eventually.'

~*~*~

Kagome reached the clearing and once the cabin was in sight she slowed down.

Inuyasha lifted his head. He was sitting on the cabin floor.

'Kagome's back.' He thought, sting up and walking outside.

Kagome reached the cabin and saw Inuyasha.

"I'm sorry I'm la--"

Inuyasha's lips pressed against hers and he wrapped his arms around her. She closed her eyes and Inuyasha broke the kiss.

"You know…that never gets old." Kagome joked.

Inuyasha smirked.

"Next time…I'll come with you."

He was going to tell her that he was lonely when she wasn't there but decided better of it.

Kagome smiled, knowing fully what he meant. She had only been married to him for what? 15 years?

~*~*~

Trinity and Suki stopped short.

'They're kissing again.' Suki thought.

'How romantic.' Trinity thought.

They both giggled silently to themselves and ran behind the cabin.

Inuyasha deepened the kiss and sat down putting Kagome in his lap. He didn't stop kissing her. She was right. It never did get old.

Kagome broke the kiss this time.

"Inuyasha…" She whispered, rubbing the insides of his ears with her fingers. She smiled, listening and feeling the vibrations of the deep growl issuing from his chest.

She moved her hand to his cheek, caressing it and looked into his eyes.

"Kagome. Can we? Can we go to your time soon? Or just go somewhere where we can be alone together?"

"Soon enough. I promise." She vowed, putting her head against his chest.

~*~*~

"Sango. I was just wondering something." Miroku said.

Sango turned around and looked at him.

"It's been a long time since we…"

Sango blushed and turned back around going back to what she was doing. Miroku immediately gave up on that thought.

~*~*~

Trinity sat down and watched Kanaye. He was quite handsome even doing something as boring as cutting wood. He sort of made an art out of it the way he moved his sword. Trinity's eyes didn't leave Kanaye for the longest time and Suki noticed but said nothing.

She knew crushes didn't last forever. She knew this because she had liked one of the guys at the village before when she was younger. She liked him until he proved he was an ambitious, arrogant jerk who cared about no one but himself. But that's how all guys are.

~*~*~

"Inuyasha. It's time to eat. Sango's call--"

She was stopped yet again as Inuyasha kissed her neck and she moaned.

"I have ears you know."

She looked up and smiled.

"Yes, and very cute ones might I add."

He picked her up and carried her inside.

~*~*~

'I guess I can't blame them for acting like that. Mom WAS around my age when Kanaye and I were born.' Suki thought, her eyes on her parents who were just now sitting down.

'Wow…that could be me…' she thought, shaking her head and trying hard to think about something else.

'The food. Perfect.'

"Yum, the food's really good." She faked, smiling.

Everyone else nodded in agreement as Sango beamed.
