InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Restless Sleep ❯ Sharing ( Chapter 8 )

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or the rest of the characters in my story.


Inuyasha jumped out of the well and reluctantly placed Kagome to her feet. "Thanks for the help." Kagome stated while grabbing one of Inuyasha's hands and entwining their fingers. Inuyasha gave a smirk in response before they started to head for Keade's hut. By the time they had arrived Shippo had already smelled them out. Kagome let go of Inuyasha's hand before picking up the little fox child and giving him a huge hug.


"Oh Shippo it's great to see you again. I missed you while I was gone." She said before pulling him away to check him over and to make sure nothing happened while she wasn't there to watch him. Shippo smiled at the news that his adoptive mother was worried for him, but looked at her skeptically. She smelled more like Inuyasha and he didn't know why. "Inuyasha what did you do to Kagome?" asked Shippo curiously.


Sango and Miroku had arrived just in time to catch the tail end of the question. Inuyasha knew what Shippo was talking about since he would be able to smell the change in Kagomes scent, but didn't want to reply to the question. "What are you talking about Shippo?" Kagome asked with a blush forming on her face, maybe Shippo could tell that she and Inuyasha were mated but she didn't know how that could happen.


Shippo then tried to find the source of the smell. He began digging his nose into Kagomes hair until he arrived to the place the scent was the strongest. Pulling away the shirt on her shoulder he began to look at the bite mark located in the juncture where her neck and shoulder met. "Did Inuyasha get mad at you?" Shippo asked. "No, why do you ask that?" Kagome asked suspiciously. "Because he bit you, this bite mark smells like him."


Kagome darken ten shades of red before placing Shippo on the ground and backing up to stand beside Inuyasha. “What does he mean that he can smell you on me Inuyasha?” She whispered. Sango and Miroku were eyeing both her and the dog demon next to her. “Feh” was all he said in order to explain the situation.


Kagome smiled awkwardly and moved closer to Inuyasha before stumbling because the ground began to tremble. A huge demon emerged from the forest rushing towards the group. Sango was ready to attack with Miroku and Kilala by her side. Inuyasha’s instincts kicked in and he pushed his mate behind him and pulled out is sword.


A low grumbled voice came from the huge boulder shaped demon. “Give me the jewel shard.” He demanded. Inuyasha just smirked and got into battle stance. “I don’t think so.” The demon focused his eyes on the travelers in order to locate the precious stone, after noticing it hanging for around the neck of the woman behind the hanyou he rushed forward and reached out toward Kagome.


Taking that moment Inuyasha took the opportunity to strike the obviously dumb demon and chopped off the hand that was reaching out to Kagome. The hand fell to the ground with a heavy ‘bam’. The Demon roared out in pain. “You filthy half breed” he yelled out before reaching toward Inuyasha.


Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and jumped out of the way before being hit and placed her down beside their traveling companions. Inuyasha leapt forward and landed the final blow by slicing the demon in half.


After destroying the demon Inuyasha wiped his sword off on the grass and place it back in its sheath. Inuyasha then turned and walked back to the group. “Well that was one of the fastest battles you’ve ever taken care of.” Miroku said with a smile. “Yeah nice job, Inuyasha.” Kagome said while wrapping her arms around his waist.


Inuyasha looked down and nuzzled his mates neck, not caring if anyone saw. He placed a kiss on the mark that Shippo had pointed out earlier before the attack and looked at the wide eyes of his pack. “Kagome?” Was all Sango could get out.


Kagome smiled and melted into Inuyasha side. “Well I guess we should tell you now, Inuyasha and I, umm.” Kagome said blushing to her questioning friends. “Are mates.” Inuyasha quickly added finishing the sentence for her. Kagome just nodded at her friends with a big smile on her face.

“About time.” Was all Miroku stated and Sango smiled at the blushing girl. Inuyasha couldn’t help but smile at himself on how the whole situation started and silently thanked his mom, who had been right all along. He did find a girl that he lost sleep for.
