InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Restless Sleep ❯ Going Home ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: So I still don’t own any of the characters in my story.

Kagome slowly began to awaken from the most content and peaceful sleep she had been able to have in what seemed like weeks. She soon found out the reason for having had such a restful nights sleep. Because when Kagome tried to sit up she had been pulled back down again by strong arms. “Quit moving.” She heard her sleeping companion mumble.

Kagome blushed and turned in Inuyasha's arms so she was able to face him. Inuyasha unconsciously tightened his grip he had around her waist pulling her body closer to his and buried his face into her hair. After getting over the shock of having Inuyasha so close, Kagome began nudging the sleeping Hanyou. “Inuyasha.” She said softly enough not to wake the others but loud enough for him to hear. “Time to wake up.”

Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes and gave a tongue curling yawn. Before realizing where he was and who he was cuddled next to. His eyes opened wide before moving to a sitting up position then to stand in front of Kagome. He began to blush while looking at her.

Kagome sat up blushing as well and wiggled out of her sleeping bag. She began straightening her clothes when she heard a young kitsune yelling her name and giving her a hug. “Good morning, how did you sleep?” The young kit asked. Kagome smiled and hugged him back. “It was good, I’m very rested now.” She answered looking from the corner of her eye at Inuyasha who was staring at her quizzically.

Shippo smiled at her before jumping out of her arms and near her bag. “Kagome I’m hungry can we eat now please?” Miroku and Sango were now rustling around the camp fire getting it ready for the day ahead. “Yeah, of course.”

Kagome went to her bag and pulled out five cups of ramen. “Miroku can you please fill this pot with some water?” She asked handing it to him. “Sure thing Kagome.” Miroku took the pot and began walking off towards the near by stream through the small cluster of trees .

Sango and Shippo had offered to go with him, leaving Kagome and Inuyasha alone even if it were for only a few minutes. Kagome had restarted the fire so that they were able to boil the water. “Kagome did you really sleep well?” Asked Inuyasha who was standing just behind her, Kagome turned to him with a smile on her face. “Yeah I haven’t been able to sleep very well for a while now and last night was the best sleep I can ever remember having.”

Inuyasha blushed not only because of what she said but because she had unknowingly admitted that she needed him near her at night. The others had stepped back into the campsite. “Hey Kagome we got so much water!” Shippo yelled cheerfully.

“Good job Shippo.” Kagome beamed at him. Taking the water from Miroku and placing it on the fire. After they were done eating Kagome announced that she was planning on going home for a few days.

The announcement caught Inuyasha off guard and he began to worry that the reason she wanted to leave was because of what happened that morning. “Why are you leaving again?” he asked. Kagome had finished zipping up her back pack and had swung it over her shoulders. “I need some more supplies and I’m beginning to miss Souta, mom and my grandfather. But you’re welcome to come along if you like.” She said smiling at him.

Inuyasha turned away from her not truly convinced on her reasons for leaving him and their quest. “Keh, go ahead and leave.” Kagome was surprised and hurt by the lack of an argument she got from him. She decided it was for the best to not have to argue about her leaving for once, and went to the well and jumped into the portal that connected the two worlds and was engulfed in a baby blue light.

Kagome exited the well house, crossed her lawn and entered her house. She was welcomed with the smell of her mothers home cooking. “Mom I’m back.” Kagome yelled. Her mother came running from the kitchen and gave Kagome the usual welcome home hug.

“It’s great to see you too mom. I missed you. Where are grandfather and Souta?” Kagome asked. “They went to go visit one of dad’s old friends they plan to be gone for the weekend.” Kagome smiled "So I guess it’s just us tonight huh?”

Her mother looked at her with a frown. I didn’t know you would be returning home so early, I was planning on going to a resort this weekend. But I can cancel if you want me to.”

Kagome smiled at her mother. “No, it’s fine. I was planning on returning back to the Feudal Era tomorrow so you staying the night here and missing out on your weekend wouldn’t be fair.” Kagome’s mother looked at her questionably. “Are you certain?” “Yes, go ahead.”

Kagomes’ mother coaxed her towards the stairs. “Dinner will be ready shortly.” Kagome nodded and smiled at the prospect of home cooked food, but all she wanted to do was take a bath. After Kagome took the time and finished settling in for the night. She grabbed her toiletries and headed toward the bath room. “mom, I’m going to take a bath now.” Kagome yelled from the top of the stairs.

“Fine dear, dinners almost done now, once it finished I’ll leave some out on the counter for you. Kina is going to be picking me up soon, alright?” Her mother yelled back. “Alright have a nice time.” And with that Kagome went into the Bathroom.

Back in the Feudal Era Inuyasha was pacing in front of the Bone Eaters well. ‘Maybe I should go see her, it’s night time now and she won’t be able to sleep without me.’ He thought. ‘Yeah right sleep isn’t the only thing you had on your mind last night’. Inuyasha knew that voice to well it was his Youkai talking to him again.

‘How could I not think of anything other then sleep with her that close to me?’ Inuyasha pointed out to himself. ‘Exactly, so why don’t we go over there and finally lay claim to what is ours?’

‘Because she doesn’t feel that way… I don’t think.’ Inuyasha was becoming confused. ‘You saw how she reacted to us last night do you honestly think that she could not care for us?’ Inuyasha didn’t know how to respond to that thought because he honestly didn’t know, but he was going to find out because seconds later he was jumping through the well to find out the answer.

Kagome got out of the bath and changed into her bra and panties and an oversized black T-Shirt and began to head downstairs. Her mother had already left for the weekend and she was home alone. She turned towards the kitchen and ate dinner.

After she was done she placed the dishes in the sink and went up stairs. When she got into her room something had caught her eye. Inuyasha was sitting on her bed waiting for her.
