Hey everyone I'm back with my latest fic. This is a little change from my usual writings, I hope you enjoy it, and let me know what you think by reviewing. ~Shell

Morning rays filtered through the secluded beach home of the Inu youkai and his mate, lighting all dark corners and chasing away nights dark cold blanket. The happy couple slept soundlessly, curled within each other in their own little world away from civilization content to never leave their surroundings. A golden eye slit open and peered around the peaceful serenity of their home, expanding his senses within a five-mile radius to see if anyone was near their secluded little nook, he found they were alone. Looking down at the slumbering woman he had taken to be his lifelong mate, he allowed a rare smile upon his face, before nuzzling her neck. She mumbled something incoherent that he didn't bother to decipher, and turned her body to face his own, her arms wrapped around his neck sitting up a bit she place a kiss upon his forehead, and slit open a lavender eye for a moment before curling up, on his chest and drifting back to sleep with an angelic smile on her face.

Placing his arms around his mate, Inuyasha pulled her close to him in a deep embrace before untangling himself from her. Once he was free from her grasp he covered her body with a blanket and placed a kiss upon her cheek before pulling on his robe and left for downstairs to get some coffee to help awaken him. 'I'll let her sleep a bit more, but I did indeed give her a reason to be exhausted.' He chuckled to himself knowingly and continued down the stairs to the kitchen.

After fixing himself a cup of coffee just the way he likes it a dash of cream and a lot of sugar, Inuyasha walked into his study to do some work. Flipping open his laptop he quickly read his e-mail, and opened up to the desired website, remembering that Sesshomaru had come by yesterday Inuyasha opened his desk drawer and retrieved the brown wrapped package. Using a clawed finger he slit open the brown wrapping and gazed at what was inside, smirking to himself he thought 'Sesshomaru I owe ya for bringing this to me.'

Hearing Kagome start move around upstairs he quickly placed the object back in the desk drawer and locked it just to be on the safe side, and by any chance Kagome wouldn't be able to get the drawer open without him knowing of it. Turning his laptop off, he grabbed his cup of coffee and went to go find his beloved mate, reaching the stairs he was almost run over by a speeding Kagome trying to reach the bathroom quickly. Puzzlement crossed his face as he walked towards the bathroom only to find it locked from the inside, Kagome...sweetheart...what's the matter? Kagome please talk to me. He called out to her, but heard the displeasing sound of her vomiting in return, worried for his mate's safety he quickly made his way upstairs and walked through their closet down the hidden stairwell and was able to enter the bathroom.

When Inuyasha entered the bathroom he found Kagome sitting next to the toilet with her eyes shut tightly, and breathing deeply trying to gather her composure. He gracefully walked over to her and kneeled before her, "Are you alright my love, what's making my sweet vixen ale so?" With her eyes still shut she spoke softly to him, "Yes, I'm sorry for worrying you Inuyasha, it must have been the wine last night, I shouldn't have drank so much." He gently picked her up and placed her on his lap, rocking her softly while rubbing her back in a circular motion. "It's alright my Kagome, everyone has those days where our stomachs just don't agree with us." "Perhaps I really do have the 48 hour stomach flu." She joked hiding her face in the crook of his neck, and enjoyed the feeling of him holding her close to him. Suddenly the comfort was soon broken when Kagome quickly pushed him away, and leapt towards the toilet, feeling nauseated again.

Emerging from the bathroom about a half hour later, Inuyasha carried the pail and tired looking Kagome into the living room, and placed her on the beautiful cream couch. "I'll be right back in a minute I'm going to get a blanket or two, and a bucket, I don't want you moving off this couch understand." Kagome nodded to him, and tried to relax as much as she could without upsetting her stomach. 'I have a very good assumption of what's wrong with me, but I'm not quite sure if I'm correct.' 'Perhaps I should go see Kikyo to find out if my assumptions are accurate or not, she did get her bachelors degree in the area of medical science after all.' Kagome thought to herself closing her eyes a bit trying to block out most of the shining rays of the morning's sun.

Inuyasha made his way through the empty halls of their secluded beach home back to where Kagome laid resting, carrying a light blanket within his strong arms. 'What could possibly be the matter with her, Kagome's scent doesn't contain that of a growing child within her, maybe she's right and that she had a little too much wine.' Stopping before entering, he peered into the room where his beloved mate rested peacefully. He walked gracefully towards her with a loving smile upon his face, hoping in the back of his mind she wouldn't sensehis worry towards her.

"How's your stomach feeling Kagome, can I get you anything that might make it better?" Kagome let a small giggle surface, before she took a hold of Inuyasha's hand and pulled him to sit behind her, sliding behind her Kagome rested her head on his strong chest, and snuggled closer to him nearly melting into his warm body. Placing his arms around her waist Inuyasha nuzzled her neck lovingly noticing she was falling asleep with her arms wrapped tightly around him. When her breathing evened out and the hold that she held to him slacked a bit he smiled and cradled his love gently in his arms before sliding her hair away from the nap of her neck, looking down at the claim mark he had given to her, noticing it was healing well, he smirked and ran his fingers through her silky smooth hair, listening to her slow even breaths which soon lulled him to sleep.

Feeling that she was laying on something warm Kagome opened one of her eyes slightly to see what was the source. Peering up she saw the angelic face of Inuyasha who was resting peacefully with his head upon her own. 'He looks so adorable and peaceful when he sleeps, it's really a shame I never could watch him before, he always got to watch me even as a child.' Moving a tiny hand across his peaceful face, Kagome studied him in every aspect from his breathing, to the way his pointed elf like ears slightly moved to pick up the tiniest of sounds. Breathing in his scent Kagome smiled and tried to move off of the couch when she felt his arms tighten around her waist.

"Where do you think your going my little vixen?" A sleepy voice asked her with a hint of huskiness to it, looking up Kagome found two golden eyes looking at her with amusement. "Just getting up to get dressed my lord Inuyasha." She said with the sarcasm dripping heavily, he just chuckled and ran his hand through her raven black hair. "I personally like your state of dress my love, but you're right it's almost Noon and we should get dressed."

Standing up with his arms still wrapped around Kagome, he unwrapped one of his arms using the other to help support her till she was able to stand. "Are you feeling any better Kagome?" Inuyasha asked with concern in his voice and eyes. "Yes Inuyasha I'm feeling much better now, that nap did wonders for my health." Smoothing the back of her hair as they made their way up the stairwell, he smiled gladed that she was feeling better but still worried that his love was ill.

It took Inuyasha a few moments to clean up, and dress. Kagome on the other hand wished to take a bath and just basically relax, which Inuyasha had no problem with; he was glad that she was taking an easy with her stomach in such an uproar. Making his way down the wooden stairs, Inuyasha walked directly into the living room where he and Kagome had been just moments ago, spotting the empty bucket and used blanket, Inuyasha walked over and picked them both up at the same time and deposited the blanket in the laundry room along with the bucket.

Walking back into the kitchen Inuyasha was about to pour himself another cup of coffee when his sensitive ears picked up the sound of vomiting coming from the bathroom. 'I guess we had spoken to soon, when we believed she was alright,' He thought letting out a loud sigh, and started for the bathroom, knocking for permission he entered to find Kagome cleaning her face trying to rid it of the disgusting projectile. "Kagome in your condition I don't think it's wise for you to go into town today sweetheart." Inuyasha said taking the damp washcloth from her and gently cleaning the outside edges of her mouth.

"No, I really do want to go into town, maybe stop by Kikyo's house, she does have a bachelors degree in Medical." Looking up with him with pleading eyes that he just couldn't say no too, he agreed on one condition that if she feels nauseated again, that she's coming home right away. Hugging his mate one last time he stepped out of the bathroom to allow her to finish cleaning up.

About an hour later Kagome emerged from the bathroom clean, relaxed and ready to take on the world, walking into the kitchen she found Inuyasha on his laptop again typing away at some website. 'The man can't leave work alone for one moment can he?' As she approached him he quickly turned off the laptop and spun to catch her in a deep embrace, "Inuyasha what in the worlds are you doing your acting so suspicious?" Kagome asked laughing at the position he held her in, "I was just making sure the weather is fine for travel my beautiful butterfly." He said kissing her forehead and nuzzling her cheek, "Have some ginger crackers and some water that should relaxed that upset tummy of yours." He said tickling her stomach earning non-stop laughter from her, until both were on the floor and Inuyasha was on top of her. "Ah I see someone is ticklish, prepare to taste the torso tickler."

"Does my vixen yield to me the great and powerful Inu Youkai Inuyasha," He said crossing his arms in front of his chest and straddling her legs. "Never you egotistic maniac." Kagome cried still laughing like a child who has gotten a great toy to play with, she also was trying to push him off her. "Never…ok then you asked for it Kagome." Carefully he crouched down above her and delicately used his nose to caress her cheek, taking in her intoxicating scent, he brushed his lips against hers and teased them for only a moment, keeping them out of reach from her. Kagome tried to capture his lips by moving her head up to meet his, but he quickly moved up with a cocky smile. Inuyasha rubbed his cheek against hers and the rumbling in his chest began, before Kagome could respond he had captured her lips in an earthshaking kiss, leaving both totally breathless and gasping for air.

"How about now Kagome, do you submit to me?" Asked the panting Inuyasha who looked upon his equally panting mate with swollen lips from their last kiss, Kagome thought for a moment before smirking towards him, "Ok, ok you win this round you silly puppy, but I intend to win the rest." Kagome said trying to push the heavy Inuyasha off her legs so she could get the feeling back. "Come on KagBabe we better get going befo…" Inuyasha was cut of by the sound of his cell phone ringing nonstop. "Hello Inuyasha Tama, what do you want?" Kagome looked at her mate with wide eyes and spoke in a quiet manner not to disturb the call but enough to catch his attention,

"Inuyasha you jerk, how do you answer the phone?" Looking over towards his mate he smirked and winked at her while telling the person who had called him what to do. "GOD your incompetent I'll have to come in myself, just don't touch anything." Inuyasha snapped his phone shut and looked at his mate with a sad puppy face, "Kagome sweetheart, there has been some problems with the case I've been working on so I have to go into the office, I'm so sorry about this I really am." Kagome smiled and placed a tiny hand upon his chin and tilted it upwards for his eyes to meet her own.

"It's fine Inuyasha really it is, I actually wanted to see Kikyo alone anyways so this works out to both of our benefits." Inuyasha smiled and wrapped both arms around Kagome and brought her close to him, "You're simply a jewel Kagome how in the world did I ever get such a great mate?" Snuggling close to his chest Kagome mumbled to him quietly, "Pure luck I guess, I better call Kikyo to let her know I'm stopping by and to make sure she's home."

Quickly grabbing his cell phone from his hand Kagome dialed the number to Kikyo's home.

"Hello"

"Hey Kikyo its Kagome, how are you?"

"Fine, fine, just got home from picking Kaede up from school"

"That's great how is she by the way"

"Kagome, what do you want"

"Do you think I can stop by in a few minutes, I really need to talk to you"?

"Is it about Inuyasha"

"Not really, look I'll tell you when I get there"

"Ok see ya when I see ya"

Handing his phone back to him, Kagome quickly pecked him on the cheek and walked away to grab her purse. "So will you be driving me or do I get to drive one of your precious babies." Smirking towards her, he leaned forward to whisper "But Kag honey you did that last night." Inuyasha soon found himself sprawled out on the floor with a huge lump on his head. "DON'T YOU EVER THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES SEX?" Kagome screamed at him, allowing a few tears "Is that all I am to you is some sex object, I thought you loved me." Hearing this Inuyasha was more then pissed, like the speed of lightening Inuyasha had Kagome pinned against the wall. "DON'T EVER SAY THAT AGAIN KAGOME, I LOVE YOU MORE THEN LIFE ITSELF, how could you possibly say that I don't love you, I admit the sex is unbelievably great, but I love you for you, your smart, beautiful, you look at life as an adventure, and your always ready to concur any challenges that come your way, that's why I love you Kagome."

Wrapping her arms around his waist, and laying her head in the crook of his neck Kagome relaxed by breathing in the wonderful scent of her mate. "I'm so sorry Inuyasha I don't know what's going on with me, my heat is over with and I'm still acting like I want to bite your ears off." Pushing her away a bit Inuyasha looked into her violet eyes, and smiled, "Everything's going to be alright, it's natural for you to lash out or have these crazy mood swings, because your still getting use to being a youkai, it'll take time but don't worry you'll get use to it soon, I promise."

About a half hour later Inuyasha and Kagome left their beautiful beach home, quickly running side by side towards their huge mansion in the city, which was only 10 minutes away. Before leaving their secluded hut Kagome ask a special request of Inuyasha. That he would allow her to run alongside of him down the beach to their family home. At first he was very reluctant to agree to her wish, him being very worried since she has been ill all morning, but after much pleading, and begging he agreed after Kagome bribed him with payment as soon as they got back to their beach home.

"Kagome stay close to me, it's very easy to get lost within the dust that we're kicking up and it could direct us straight into the water love." Looking towards her concerned mate, she allowed a loving smile to portray upon her face as she reached out and took a hold of one of his hands, "There now if I get lost I'm blaming you buster." She giggled giving his a tiny squeeze, as they continued to speed down the deserted beach. "We're almost there Kagome, look what's upcoming, see that star painted onto the cliffs, that will tell you to slow down the mansion is on the other side." Inuyasha informed her slowing down to a walking pace and leading her by the hand through a tiny tunnel created by him to keep out any unwanted visitors.

"So that's how no one has found our beach home, they've never found a way to get past the rock wall, but how come I never noticed it when we journeyed through here before?" Kagome questioned nearly pulling him through the tunnel. "I was running very fast, and you had your eyes shut sweetheart." Her lips formed a quick O before returning to normal. As soon as she spotted the first site of the mansion Kagome took off running leaving Inuyasha behind to chase her.

"Kagome are you sure you know where your going?" Inuyasha asked from the passenger's side of the car. "Of course I do Inuyasha, relax we're almost there, by the way what time are you picking me up at?" She glanced over towards him; 'He almost looks like a child from the way he's looking around, how adorable.' She giggled to herself thinking about how nice it would to actually have children.

"I should only be a few hours, think you can handle it over there?" Throwing him an annoyed glance, "Of course I can handle it, hell Inuyasha I lived there for at least 2 years, before getting my own apartment." Smirking towards his mate he asked, "So what happen she get on your nerves enough?" Smirking back at him, Kagome placed a hand on his leg, "No, Kikyo got married and her walls are paper thin."

Minutes later Kagome pulled up in front of Kikyo's town house with a smile on her face. "Kagome my love I must say you're an excellent driver, and I'll be sure to take some lessons from you, ok babe." Smiling she leaned over the seat and kissed him gently and whispered "I'll see you in a couple hours, don't kill anyone if they get on your nerves." She giggled before leaning away and stepping out of the drivers side of the vehicle.

"Hey that damn wolf was threatening Rin's life what was I to do let Sesshomaru take care of it?" Inuyasha looked towards her with innocent puppy eyes, making Kagome's giggles turn to laughter. 'If I had let Sess take care of it, he would have wiped everyone our that was in a 50 mile radius.' Inuyasha thought taking the keys from Kagome and pecking her on the cheek. "Your sure you don't want me to come up and stay with you honey, I'm really worried about you." 'He's so sweet but if my assumptions are correct, I don't want him knowing just yet.'

"Nah get out of here I need some me time besides the only time I ever seem to get alone is when I'm asleep, not even then." Giving him one last hug Kagome pushed the pouting Inuyasha into the vehicle, "By the way I thought you were taking the Jag to the shop today for new seating?" Allowing a smirk to appear upon his face as he started the car, "Nobunaga was kind enough when he was removing your items last night, to take notice of the claw marks in the passengers seat and take it in this morning." "Get out of here before I claw the sides of your car." Letting out a laugh when she saw the worried look on the side of his face.

"Just kidding Inu I know for a fact I would never walk normal again if I did that." "Damn straight bitch, I talk to you soon, and let me know what Kikyo's diagnosis is ok, love ya babe." Inuyasha said before squealing the wheels loudly and speeding down the road towards his office. 'That jackass you think he could be a little more considerate, wait I'm talking about a guy here never mind.' Sighing loudly she threw her hands up once and started up the buildings few steps and knocked on the door.
