Thanks, Stupid Chocolate…

 

Chapter 5 ~ Stars

 

 

 

 

Kagome sighed as she lay down on her sleeping bag. She felt sleepy after having that wonderful dinner. The others were sleeping around her. Sango and Miroku at a corner (with Sango's Hiraikotsu in between them), Kirara and Shippo curled up near by them.

 

Kagome sighed happily again, starring above her high into the sky. This is what she loved about sleeping out doors in the warring states era. The air smells fresh, unlike back in her time with thick pollution hanging around and she also gets to do her favourite thing, starring up at the stars, without the city lights blocking her view. Kagome tried to count the millions of stars that were spread out across the dark sky, but quickly lost count. So, she went to stare at her other favourite thing, Inuyasha.

 

He was sleeping peacefully at his favourite spot in the trees. Kagome smiled as she stared at the rare peaceful expression on Inuyasha's face. `He's such a cute angel when he sleeps…why can't he be like that when he wakes up? He always has this grumpy expression on…' thought Kagome. She saw Inuyasha's ears move and she giggled quietly to herself. `What I wouldn't do to be able to touch those cute ears of his!'

 

She paused as she remembered the earlier events that afternoon. She giggled again, as she flashed back to when Inuyasha had literally pushed his head into her hands when she was rubbing them. `...and he says he doesn't like being touched in the ears' smiled Kagome.

 

She closed her eyes and continued recalling what happened earlier, smiling and blushing as she remembered some of the things. She thought back to when Inuyasha had yelled for her to help him. Kagome couldn't help but giggle as she remembered the whining voice of Inuyasha, begging her to hurry up.

 

Suddenly, something landed beside her, making her jump. She would have screamed if she hadn't seen the sudden red of Inuyasha's hoari in front of her. Inuyasha was starring at her with an annoyed expression. `Uh…did I wake you up?' asked Kagome nervously, as Inuyasha continued starring.

 

`Yes. Why are you giggling?'

 

`He heard me? I was giggling quietly…but then again, he does have a better hearing. Oh no, what should I tell him? I can't tell him that I was thinking about him…' thought Kagome. `Oh…uh…um…I was…thinking of something…' she replied, a light shade of pink starting to creep across her cheeks.

 

`Thinking of what? Tell me!' Inuyasha asked, curious what Kagome could be thinking of that's making her blush.

 

`I was thinking of what happened earlier today…' Kagome said in a shy voice, knowing there's no use lying to him.

 

This time, it was Inuyasha's turn to blush. He was thinking about it too before he went to sleep.

 

`I was just thinking back to when you called for me, saying you need me…' Kagome continued, blushing a bit more. Of course, Kagome didn't have to mention that part, but she just wanted to see what Inuyasha's reaction would be. To her surprise, he smiled and blushed a bit more, like her.

 

Kagome decided to change the subject, knowing it's making Inuyasha very uncomfortable. So, she gazed back up into the sky, and asked, `Inuyasha, don't you just love the stars?'

 

Inuyasha lay down beside her, onto the cool green grass. `Yea, they're alright.' asked Inuyasha, without looking at her.

 

Kagome turned to him. `What do you mean, “alright”? Don't they make you feel…peaceful?'

 

`They used to…' Inuyasha said quietly. `When I was small…I remember my mom telling me that if I wished upon one of the stars, the wish will come true. So I wished on one…but that wish never came true.'

 

`What was the wish?'

 

`That I'll live happily with my mom and dad…' Inuyasha replied sadly. `But soon after that, they both died.'

 

`I'm sorry, Inuyasha. I didn't mean to remind you of your parents.' Kagome apologized.

 

`Nah, forget about it. It's not your fault…'

 

They stayed like that for a while watching the stars. The camp fire they had built slowly burnt out and the cold air was flowing around them once more. Inuyasha noticed Kagome shivering slightly beside him, so he took off his red hoari, covered Kagome with it, and moved closer himself. Kagome was shocked at what he did, but didn't protest, she kept starring at the stars. She was half asleep when she heard Inuyasha's voice.

 

`By the way, Kagome, thanks for being there when I needed you today.'

 

Kagome blushed and turned her head to look at Inuyasha. He was smiling at her. That warmed Kagome up much better than his hoari. `Your welcome' smiled Kagome.

 

`You'll help me next time, right? If I get those things again?'

 

`Yes, you asked me that earlier already. And I'll make sure I'll never bring those chocolates back again.'

 

`Ha, that's what she thinks' Inuyasha thought evilly.

 

Kagome couldn't help but ask one more question.

`So, Inuyasha…'

 

`Yeah?'

 

`What makes you feel peaceful now?'

 

Inuyasha smiled and blushed.

`You.'

 

Kagome smiled and kissed Inuyasha lightly on the cheeks. Then she rested her head against his strong shoulders and closed her eyes, ready for sleep to take over her. Inuyasha was surprised by her actions, but couldn't help but smiled a bigger smile. He closed his eyes and placed his head against Kagome's and whispered,

`Thanks to you too, stupid chocolates.'

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TWO WEEKS LATER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The Inu Group was traveling again, looking for more shards. The sun was bright, no clouds were in sight and the weather was perfect. Everything was calm and peaceful, birds were chirping and no other sounds were heard (except for the occasional “Ow!” and “Pervert!” from Miroku and Sango).

 

They all stopped for lunch, and everyone was talking among themselves, eating the lunch boxes Kagome's mom packed. When out of no where, Inuyasha started screaming.

 

`AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Kagome!!!!!!!!!! It's these blotches again!!!!!!....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' yelled Inuyasha.

 

`What? Red Blotches? Did you eat chocolate again, Inuyasha? But wait, you couldn't have. I made sure there weren't any chocolates with me, before I came back through the well.' Kagome thought carefully.

 

`I don't know how I got these blotches, but they're itchy!!!' whined Inuyasha.

 

`Ok, fine, fine… Let's go back to the river we passed by in the morning…' Kagome said, standing up.

`We'll be right back guys!' called Kagome behind her shoulders.

 

`Don't worry, take your time!' called back Miroku, grinning.

 

`Take your time?' wondered Sango. `Miroku, you sound like you know something…'

 

`I do…'

 

`And it's…?'

 

`Well, let's just say I saw Inuyasha filling up on those sweet Kagome had the other night into his hoari.' Miroku answered.

 

 

`Huh?...' Sango thought for a moment. `Oh!...you mean Inuyasha wanted those blotches again?'

 

`Uh huh…' Miroku nodded. `Of course he would. Who wouldn't want to have a pretty lady washing them?'

 

Sango shook her head and rolled her eyes.

`Men…'

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AT THE RIVER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

`Hurry, Kagome, these blotches are killing me!!!'

 

`Well that's what you get for purposely eating those chocolates.' Kagome said, emphasizing on `purposely'.

 

Inuyasha stopped in his tracks. `How did she know?'

 

`Inuyasha, I saw you coming out of the well with a whole bag filled with chocolates.'

 

Inuyasha blushed. He had gone to Kagome's era and asked her mom for chocolates the night after the `chocolate scenario'.

 

`Inuyasha, why did you do that?' Kagome asked, looking at Inuyasha accusingly.

 

`I just wanted you to wash me again…' replied Inuyasha, sounding sad and disappointed, with his ears flat on his head.

 

`AW…he's so cute!!! And his ears!!!' Kagome squealed inwardly to herself. `Okay, I forgive you but, Inuyasha, you could've just asked. Getting those blotches isn't good for your health, you know. The next time, just ask me nicely.' Kagome smiled to herself and continued on towards the river, leaving a shock Inuyasha behind.

 

`She's gonna wash me even though I don't have blotches?' Inuyasha thought to himself. Then he starred up towards the sky and whispered, `Thank you!' and ran towards the river.
