And before I go any further, let me clear some things up. I do NOT appreciate flames. So keep them to yourself and find some other way to prove how immature you are.

A.N. This story is going through a major overhaul. I realize that there are several serious flaws in the plotline of this story and so I am now going to attempt to rectify this. But, since these flaws are rather serious in nature, it is entirely possible that this story will morph into something completely different. Also as some of you may have noticed Sesshoumaru's fortress is very western in nature. I originally did this when the story was first published because I had no clue as to how a Japanese palace would have looked. However, even though I know that it is not authentic the westernization will stay the same. At the moment I wish to focus on fixing the more detrimental plot failures. And maybe after I get that under control I can place my attention on smaller details such as that. I'm sorry if this offends anyone who was looking for a more traditional Japanese palace.

Background

Naraku was defeated, although it hadn't been fast enough and Miroku had been swallowed by his wind tunnel. Kikyo has gone to Hell, and Inuyasha made Kagome his mate. Inuyasha built Kagome a house close to the well so that she could visit her family whenever she wanted. They are still searching for shards.

Chapter 1:

*Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz* “Okay Okay! I'm up already!” Kagome groaned as she slammed her fist against the noisy alarm clock. As she turned back over, Kagome couldn't help but hope that Inuyasha wouldn't make her go home today. He always decided to come and get here at the worst times. She sighed, he would probably come barging in while she was eating breakfast and pull her from the room saying, “Time's up! We got shards to hunt!”

True, her home was in the past with Inuyasha, but every once in a while, it was nice to be able to take a break and relax without having to think about the possibility of a demon attack. Now if only I could convince him to come with me when I come to this era. Opening one bleary eye, she hissed as the light radiating through her window hurt her eyes.

“Nnnnnn… it's too early,” she groaned, not noticing the soft chuckle that echoed in the small room as she gave up on her attempts to rise and sunk back into the warm comfort of her sheets.

Inuyasha smiled as he watched his mate slowly slip back into the realm of dreams. He had come to take her home about an hour ago; convinced that four days was plenty of time in her world. Even letting her go that long had been hard, real hard. But when he got there and saw her sleeping form his resolve crumbled. He'd debated on climbing into bed with her but had decided he didn't want to risk waking her and so, sighing, he'd leaned against the nearby wall, deciding he'd take her home when she woke up.

“Kagome, honey, are you up yet?” Ms. Higurashi said, knocking softly on the door as Inuyasha leapt to his feet and quickly tried to figure out where to go. “Bring Inuyasha down to breakfast with you, ok?”

“Huh?” Kagome mumbled as she rolled over, “Inuyasha? What is she talking about? Inuyasha isn't here.” Opening her eyes fully, she glanced around the room. But, as she expected, the room was empty. She sighed as she groggily stood up and made her way to the bathroom. “What I need right now is a nice, long shower.”

Shit! Why'd I hide in the shower!?!Inuyasha thought franticly as he stood frozen behind her Hello Kitty shower curtain, nervously awaiting his demise. I should've known she would take a shower when she got up. Now what am I gonna do?'He sighed. Maybe I'll get lucky and she'll change her mind. But the cold blast of water on his back shot that idea all to Hell. Balance lost, he fell onto the cold tile floor of the bathroom, getting tangled up in the curtain as he went. To make matters worse, Kagome screamed, filling the room with a shrill high pitched wall of noise that went straight to his ears. Inuyasha looked up from his current position on the floor and glared at her, his ears clamped down to block out the ear shattering racket. “Damn it wench! What are you trying to do, KILL ME!?”

Realizing that it was Inuyasha that was heaped on her floor and not some crazed serial murderer, Kagome sighed. “It's your own damn fault!” she said, standing indignantly against the wall with her hands on her hips as she glared at him. “You shouldn't hide in other people's SHOWERS!”

He growled as he tried to untangle himself from the curtain. “Well, if you'd stay home, then I wouldn't have to come get you. Which means, my dear; I'd be 500 years from your shower!”

“I don't care! You scared the crap out of me!” Reaching down, she attempted to untangle him but the idiot wouldn't hold still long enough for her to do anything. “Please stay still!” She said, fighting to make him stop his incessant movements. But ten minutes later, he was still trapped, and she was running out of patience. “I really don't want to do this, but…” she sighed, making sure to be as quiet as possible as she uttered her next words, “Inuyasha sit.” Kagome winced at the resounding crash that echoed throughout the room, realizing that it had more than likely still been rather painful despite her attempts to lessen the blow. Now that he was still, she quickly began to rid him of the curtain that was determined to hold him hostage, ignoring his fiery glare.

“What the fuck was that for!?!”

“I'm sorry; you wouldn't hold still long enough for me to untangle you.”

“Feh! You could have asked ya know,” he grumbled, tapping his claws on the floor impatiently as he waited for the spell to wear off.

“I did, and you didn't listen to me. I'm really sorry, but it's your own fault! You should have just stayed still when I told you to. Actually, you shouldn't have been hiding in my shower to begin with. If you wanted to see me that bad, why didn't you just wake me up?”

Finally free of the restraining spell, he pulled himself off the floor and began walking towards the door. “Keh! Come on, were going home.”

“But Inu, I just got here and I'm not ready to leave yet. Can't we stay for just a few more days? A girl needs some modern marvels every once in a while.”

“More than she needs her mate?” He said softly, turning around and slowly walking back to her.

“That's not what I meant and you know it.” She replied, melting into him as he pulled her into his arms. “If you remember correctly, I asked you to come with me, but you didn't want to. Please can I stay a few more days? I promise to make it worth your while.”

“And just what is THAT supposed to mean?”

“You know exactly what I mean Inu.” She said softly, leaning up to nuzzle his neck.

“What makes you think that that's not what we're going home for? Four days is an awfully long time to be away from your mate.”

“Awwww, was the little puppy lonesome?” she cooed.

“Yes, very,” he said, leaning down to worship her neck with his lips.

Yes! She thought triumphantly. My plan's working! Just a minute longer and…

“Kagome, mom said you're gonna be late for work if you don't hurry up.”

Souta! Why was it he only showed up when she didn't want him to? Quickly searched the confines of her mind for an excuse, she blurted out the first thing that popped into her head. “I twisted my ankle really bad when I went to get in the shower. I don't think I can walk on it very well.” She turned around so she was facing the door and went limp in Inuyasha's arms, knowing he'd catch her.

“You look fine to me.” Souta said as he entered the bathroom.

“Soutaaaaa,” Kagome groaned, were all boys this dense or was she just lucky? “Help me out here.”

“Oh!” he said finally, nodding his head, “I gotcha. I'll go tell mom that you can't help Uncle Kai today.”

“Thank you.” She said as she shut the door behind the retreating boy. She turned back to Inuyasha, confused at the worried look on his face.

“You didn't tell me you twisted your ankle. Are you okay?” He said, picking her up and placing her on the counter to inspect her ankle.

She sighed; apparently all males were that dense. “Inuyasha, I didn't really twist my ankle, I just didn't want to go help my uncle in his shop today.” She tried to return to her previous position but he wouldn't let her down from the counter. She nuzzled his neck, willing him to return to more pressing matters…such as how many different positions they could try out in the shower once her family was gone for the day. But alas, some guys are just stupid.

“Why? You could have just said I was making you leave. That's always worked in the past.”

“Because Inu, I want stay here for a few more days. A girl needs a hot bath and air conditioning every once and a while.”

“Again, more than she needs her mate?” He was starting to get that look in his eyes and Kagome knew she had to get them out of the bathroom before he decided to take her right then and there, despite the fact that she could hear her brother walking just outside the room.

“Inu, you know there's nothing I need more than you.” Mental note, she thought as he captured her lips in a searing kiss, when Inuyasha has the “I'm gonna have you right now” look, don't compliment him! She moaned and leaned further into the kiss as he traced over her lips with his tongue and began to explore the depths of her mouth.

“Inuyasha!” Mrs. Higurashi's voice filled the house making Kagome smile, Saved by the mom. “Since Kagome has twisted her ankle I am putting you in charge of her. I have to leave for Kyoto in a few minutes and I won't be back till the middle of next week. Jii-san is visiting friends in Osaka, so he won't be back for a few more days. And obviously Souta can't watch her, so that only leaves you. Make sure she doesn't walk on her hurt ankle.”

Inuyasha grinned wildly at her request. I guess staying here for a few days wouldn't kill me.Still grinning like a mad man, he picked Kagome up and threw her over his shoulder.

“Hey! I can walk ya know!”

“Nu-uh, you hurt your ankle, remember? And you heard your mom; I get to make sure you don't get out of bed today.”

“Why do I suddenly feel like I'm going to regret this?” Kagome mumbled as her captor carried her out of the bathroom and over to her bed.

“Don't worry,” he said as he gently laid her down, “I'm pretty sure I can keep you entertained.” She had been about to ask what the heck the thought he was doing, but stopped as he started trailing kisses up her leg. When he reached her throat, he slid his tongue over her pulse, feeling it jump under his touch. He smiled and sucked lightly on it before continuing up to her lips. “Your beautiful,” he said softy as he brushed the stray hairs from her face. She smiled and tried to pull him down to her, and he couldn't help but smile himself. Life was good.
