InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Silver Tears and Puppy Ears ❯ One More Day ( Chapter 20 )

One More Day

Kagome couldn't believe it, one second she was laying down waiting for Inu Yasha to come in, and the next it was the morning. Shippo wasn't even in his crib. Kagome sat up and walked over to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. She didn't understand why Inu Yasha insisted on letting her sleep so late. She let the water run cold for a bit and splashed it on her face; it felt good and woke her up. She brushed her hair back into a loose ponytail and went out into the main room to find Miroku and Inu Yasha sitting and talking.

"Good morning" Kagome said to the two.

"Morning" Inu Yasha said back.

"Hope your sun burn is feeling better Miroku" Kagome said.

"Oh thank you Kagome, it is" Miroku said warmly.

"And there's my baby" Kagome cooed as she picked up Shippo from his rocker.

"Where's Sango?" Kagome questioned as she settled into the couch.

"Still sleeping" Miroku said quickly.

"Well I'm taking Shippo for a walk on the beach anyway care to come with me?" Kagome asked as she got out Shippo's stroller.

"I'll come" Miroku offered.

"Inu Yasha?" Kagome questioned.

"No if its all right I'm going to stay behind" Inu Yasha said exhausted.

"Well we'll be back in a little while" Kagome announced. Then she and Miroku left. Inu Yasha got up and walked over to the bathroom and got into the shower. He might as well take advantage of the opportunity; he liked showering here because the hot water never ran out.

Sango woke up and went into the main room to realize everyone was gone. Miroku's door was open and he wasn't in there, and there was no one on any of the balconies. Somebody was in Kagome and Inu Yasha's shower, but not wanting to walk in and see Inu Yasha naked she preferred to stay and wait. She wondered if Miroku was in a better mood today. They would be going home in 2 days, and while she was having a really good time, she was eager to go back through the well. She missed her time. She got bored of waiting and went back to her room to change and head down to the pool. She grabbed the notepad from her dresser and wrote a note so they would know where she was. She headed for the door and left the note on the table. She absently began humming one of the songs she heard last night as she waited in the elevator. The elevator finally got to the main floor and Sango walked out towards the pool. She saw one of the guys that had been there last night, but no sign of Jacob so she just kept walking. She made sure to get enough towels for everyone and enough pool chairs for everyone. She knew how miserable she would be if she didn't put on sunscreen so Sango lathered up and laid back in her chair. She would have to remember to bring certain things back with her that she liked when they went back to past for good. She still couldn't believe Kagome intended to stay there if it came down to choosing. The girl had become like a sister to her, so the fact that she wouldn't have to say goodbye made her so happy.

Kagome and Miroku were heading back up towards the hotel when they saw Sango walking towards the pool. Kagome had asked Miroku if he would prefer to go up to the room or come say hi to Sango and he had swallowed his pride and went with Kagome. Sango heard the sound of their voices and looked up to see Kagome and Miroku with Shippo's stroller.

"I see your finally awake, where's Inu Yasha" Kagome questioned as she sat down in one of the chairs Sango had claimed.

"I guess that was him in the shower then. You guys staying down here or going back up.

"Well neither of us have suits or anything. So we're going to go back up. But we'll come back down soon" Kagome said as she stood back up.

"I'll see you later then" Sango said and laid back down to keep tanning.

Miroku stood patiently waiting for Kagome, he didn't want to talk to Sango right now but he wasn't going to go out of his way to not see her. Yet Sango seemed content with not speaking to him, and from what he heard this morning Sango had spent time with those American boys last night. As soon as Kagome began walking he followed her. Kagome figured Inu Yasha was out of the shower by now. Miroku seemed upset but didn't talk about it once. They just walked to the room neither questioning the other. Kagome knew that Miroku was hurting and Miroku knew Kagome wanted to talk to him about it; he just wasn't in the mood. As soon as they got to the room Miroku went into his and closed the door. Inu Yasha yelled hello from the other room. Kagome sat down at the table and couldn't get Sango and Miroku from her mind. She thought for sure bringing them here would give their relationship the kick it needed. Never in a million years had she expected it to be a kick in the other direction, away from each other. She was minutely glad that they would be going back soon. She still didn't know what had really done it, but from the way it looked nothing would ever change it. Inu Yasha opened the door to their room and noticed the look on Kagome's face. He walked over to her and sat down.

"Hey its not your fault" Inu Yasha said calmly "They didn't work out on their own"

"I know, but I thought for sure, that being here would finally do it" Kagome sighed.

"Don't let it bother you, we're here to celebrate us right?" Inu Yasha boasted. Kagome couldn't help but smile.

"You're right, we should be having fun" Kagome agreed.

"Yep, if those two couldn't get it together, it isn't your job to make sure that they do" Inu Yasha couldn't help but add. Inu Yasha picked up Shippo and walked back into their room. Kagome frowned and watched him walk away.

"Hey, wait for me" she groaned as she ran after him. When she walked into the room she didn't see him right away. She looked over at the crib and noticed that Shippo was already in it facing away from the bed. Kagome shrieked as Inu Yasha jumped out from behind the door shut it with his foot and tackled her onto the bed. Inu Yasha grinned at Kagome, she looked beautiful, the pretend glare, her hair fanned out underneath her. Her chest pressing against his with each breath, the amusement in her eyes that she was trying so hard to hide. Kagome tried desperately to look annoyed or mad, or even just a little pissed. Yet her false anger melted when he pulled the pouty drooped ear puppy dog eyes and a small smile played across her lips. Kagome gasped when Inu Yasha leaned into her more and his arousal pressed between her thighs. Inu Yasha stole the opportunity and brought his lips swiftly down on hers. Kagome pushed against his hands on her wrists as she eagerly returned the kiss. Inu Yasha slid his hands down her arms and lightly across her sides the tips of his fingers brushing against the sides of her breast and stopped at the curve of her waist. Kagome shivered as his hands slid down her body and wrapped her arms around his neck pulled him completely onto her all of his weight against her. Inu Yasha slowly and teasingly removed Kagome's clothes. Removing his own quickly after hers were gone. Kagome curved up into Inu Yasha's body as he pushed into her. Inu Yasha watched Kagome's glowing face in awe as he made love to her. No matter how many times they had laid together the look of pure bliss on her face was enough to bring him over the edge and back every time. The way she would hide her face against his neck when she came, how her fingers would glide up and down his back and how when he hit that certain spot she would grip her fingers firmly against where ever they were at the time. Or when she would feel bolder and place her hands onto his butt and in a way direct what angle and pressure she wanted him. Inu Yasha pressed his lips against Kagome's as he finished. Inu Yasha pushed himself up to look down at Kagome who was still panting underneath him. She smiled up at him, her eyelids drooped and heavy. He gently rolled off of her and laid on his back next to her. She turned to her side, resting her head on his shoulder her arm draped across his chest.

"Mhmm, that was good" Kagome mumbled. Inu Yasha sighed in contentment wrapping his arm around her. Kagome wanted nothing more than to stay there for the rest of the vacation. Inu Yasha heard Kagome sigh as she slipped into sleep. He was beginning to get tired of this "vacation". The hostility between Miroku and Sango was at a boiling point; they were much scarier when they were at odds with each other.

"Kagome doesn't deserve this" Inu Yasha mumbled quietly to himself. Kagome's ears tweaked at his words, he must have assumed she was sleeping. Kagome fought the urge to laugh when she realized that Inu Yasha talking while he assuming she was asleep was what had finally done it for them. Inu Yasha heard the sound of Miroku leaving his room and the click of the door to the suite as he left. Knowing they were alone Inu Yasha allowed himself to fall asleep. Kagome jolted awake when she felt an off tingling in the back of her neck. Inu Yasha must have sensed it as well because he had sprung up from the bed and jumped over to the balcony, Kagome ran after him and stood on the balcony next to him.

"I swear I `m loosing my mind Inu Yasha, I recognize it so much, but I don't know why"

Inu Yasha grunted in response as he scanned the area around the hotel, trying to find some trace of what they were sensing. But as fast as it had been there it was gone.

"Whatever it is, it's trying to conceal itself" Kagome whispered.

"I'm starting to look forward to leaving, this is starting to get weird" Inu Yasha replied.

Kagome sighed, "Lets go back inside"

"Yeah aright' Inu Yasha agreed as they returned to bed. Kagome and Inu Yasha laid in bed together contemplating everything. Sleep had become elusive to them, both of them to nervous to fall asleep. Kagome slipped out of bed and took Shippo from his crib and crawled back into bed with Inu Yasha. He looked down at the two and held Kagome to him with Shippo in the middle. Kagome feeling better having Shippo with them was able to fall asleep. Inu Yasha remained awake his arms protectively around Kagome and Shippo. Sango and Miroku returned to the hotel room at the same time, talking like friends, apparently having settled things between them finally. Inu Yasha did not wake Kagome and did not move to greet them. He was tired of them and Kagome was finally sleeping peacefully, as was Shippo. If he stayed put long enough he might fall asleep as well. They had already spent all of today in their room. One more day and then the next morning they would be leaving.
