InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The One Who Heals My Heart ❯ Chapter 10 ( Chapter 10 )

Chapter 10

If anyone noticed the smile on Inu’s face, they didn’t comment on it. The group of friends and family stayed at the club until 1:00 in the morning. They sat around talking, and would all go our onto the dance floor.

When they were ready to get leave the club, Kaiya talked Kagome into staying the night with the rest of them, and made sure that Inu and Kagome were in a limo together this time. She knew that her dear Uncle had been waiting for this girl. He had never ever looked at another woman, except in friendship. His heart was taken with the Miko that had shattered the Shikon no Tama so many years ago. And now that she was back in his life, Kaiya was going to do everything in her power to make sure she stayed there.

Kagome had assumed that they all lived separately, but near each other. And that she would be staying with Sango and Miroku. She got quite the shock when she saw the house the limo drove up to.

“Well,” Shippo said. “Welcome to our humble abode.”

Inu scoffed. “Humble my ass. This place is a freaking mausoleum. But it’s a good thing we got it. We have what? 15 of us when we’re all home?”

“You didn’t include Kane’s family in that, did you?” Shippo asked.

“No, they don’t live here. Kane wanted her own place when she married.”

“Then I’m sure you’re right, Uncle Juro,” Kaiya said with a smile.

“15!” Kagome said as she got out and looked at the house. Inu was right, it wasn’t humble. The place was massive.

“Ya, 15,” Toki said. “But each family has their own wing, so it isn’t has bad as it sounds. Each wing is like it’s own house, without a kitchen.”

“That’s neat!”

Kaiya smiled. “I liked it growing up. If you were mad at your parents, you could always run to one of the other families. Toki and I usually ran to Uncle Juro. He was the most fun anyway.”

“Ya,” Inu said. “And I remember getting in trouble more then once with your parents because of you guys. I still don’t know why you weren’t like your siblings and ran to Sess. At least your parents wouldn’t yell at him about harboring you. I think your brother and sisters were smarter.”

Kagome noticed that Inu had called Sess my his real name.

“Can I call you Inuyasha again?”

Inu smiled. “We’re home, so why not? This is the only place we feel comfortable enough to use our real names.”

“Then why did Kaiya and Toki call you Juro?”

Kaiya smiled. “I told you, I like to remind them they have other names. I got into the habit of calling them all by their public names when I was little.”

“Mom had to make a game out of it to make us remember to call them by those names. It stuck. More often then not, we call them by their public names now.”

“Sango was proud that she had thought of that, but was a little upset that none of her children would call us by our real names. We shrugged it off, and told her not to worry about it. After all, we had to get used to being called those names.”

As they walked into the doors, that were opened as soon as they reached them by a servant, Kagome looked around and saw how beautiful the house was from the inside. It was beautiful on the outside, but truly gorgeous once you walked through those doors. The foray was immense, with a massive staircase staring you right in the face as soon as you stepped in the doors. Everything was done in a white marble, with light gray veins.

“The stairs lead to the separate inner houses. We have one massive kitchen though. We tend to like to eat meals together,” Kaiya explained. “My family live in the eastern wing. Then Sess and Rin…”

Kagome interrupted her. “You used their real names.”

Kaiya smiled. “They slip out every once and a while unless I’m watching what I’m saying. I tend to call everyone by both names. I just switch between the two with out even meaning to. All of us do it. But Kane is the only one that refuses to use their public names. She says that it’s been years since they were known by those names, so why the hell can’t they use them again? But I was telling you who‘s wing was who‘s. Sess and Rin have the southern wing. Koga and Ayame chose the Northern wing. And Inu got the Western wing.”

“So,” Kagome said, turning to look at Shippo. “Which wing do you sleep in?”

The kitsune grinned. “I sleep in my father’s wing. Someone had to keep the old fart company.”

“Ha!” Inu said. “It’s more like the fact that no one else would take you. I remember them complaining more then once that you have really bad timing.”

“Hey! It’s not my fault they tend to rut like it’s going out of style. I think it was more embarrassing to me then them.”

Inu smiled. “I still think I should have made Miroku give you ‘the talk’ after the first time you walked in on him and Sango.”

“Ya, I can just hear that conversation now. ‘Shippo, we were having sex. It’s what a couple does to make children. Trust me, when the time comes, you’ll like it.’ I think you did a better job.”

Toki smiled. “How did you know that was the speech he gave? I got it when I was 7 and walked in on them. I think I’m still scared. I mean they were doing it with Mom on top. I saw everything…. And I do mean everything.”

“EEWWW!” Kaiya screamed. “Please don’t talk about my parents doing that shit around me. I’ll get nightmares!”

“How do you think you came into this world, Kaiya?” Sango said. “I’ll tell you right now, it’s through us, ‘doing that shit’, as you put it.”

Miroku grinned. “Speaking of which, I could go for some of that shit right now.” He put his arms around his wife and started to kiss her neck.

“DAD!” Kaiya yelled. “That’s WAY too much info! And get a room! I‘m so glad I never walked in on you guys!”

Koga laughed. “No, you had to walk in on Ayame and myself.”

Kaiya cringed. “I still have nightmares about that you know! And about the talk Mom gave me after. I was 4 for fucks sakes. She couldn’t have just told me that they were wrestling without clothing on? No! she had to tell me that they were ‘making love’, and that it’s how babies came into the world. She then went on to tell me how babies were born. She even showed that damn tape of Kane’s birth. I swore on that day that I’d never have children!”

“Actually, sweetie,” Sango said. “You swore you’d never have sex.”

Miroku growled. “And you better not until you’re married young lady!”

Kagome smiled. “Where will I be staying?”

She had only asked to get off that topic. It was making her nervous.

She assumed she would be staying in Miroku and Sango’s wing. She knew she wouldn’t feel comfortable imposing on Sess and Rin or Koga and Ayame.

“Well,” Sango said, “you really have a choice. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t feel comfortable with Sess and Rin or Koga and Ayame. You were never that close with them. So that leaves our wing or Inu’s. It’s really up to you. But you might want to chose Inu’s, we tend to get a little loud.”

Kaiya and Toki shivered.

“We’ll be finding our rooms in Inu’s wing now…” Toki said and walked up the stairs with his sister not far behind complaining that their parents needed to grow up.

Inu laughed at Kagome’s shocked look. “When they were younger they always came into my room when they heard Miroku and Sango late at night. Because of that, I gave them their own rooms in my wing.”

“Oh,” she said. “How many bedrooms are in each wing have?”

“Umm,” Rin said from Sess’s arms. “There’s 7 I think. How many bedrooms does this place have again?”

Sess smiled down at his wife and mate. “28 dear.”

“Okay, so I was right. There’s 7 in each wing.”

Kagome looked a little shocked. “Why would you get a place with so many?”

“Koga and Ayame is why,” Inu told her. “At the point where we bought it, we were sure they would need the space.”

“Hey!” Koga said. “We only had 4 kids at that time. And that was the largest batch we‘ve had at an one time.”

“Ya,” Shippo said. “But we were all sure that you would be going for more. I for one, thought you were going to go for the world record, and fill every room in the place.”

Koga just tried half heartedly to smack him. When he missed, he only laughed.

“Then there was Rin,” Sango said. “She was constantly talking about having this humongous family with Sess. We really thought that she was serious.”

“I was!” Rin piped up. “We’re still working on it!”

“And then there was Sango and Miroku when they finally decided to have kids,” Ayame said. “I mean come on, 5 kids only 2 years apart each time. We thought you’d never stop. We’re still not sure you have. At one point you had every room but one in that wing of yours full. And the one that was empty, you made into a playroom for the kids.”

“Ya,” Miroku said. “But it was nice to hear the patter of little feet in our halls. I kinda miss it.”

Kagome smiled at her friends. It was good to see them all teasing each other and getting along. She had missed this.

“Sango,” Miroku said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Let’s have another kid.”

Sango smiled. “If you’re willing to do diaper duty, then let’s go start making a baby.”

Miroku had the biggest smile on his face. “Deal!” And with that the two were gone.

The other’s all laughed. But before you knew it, the only people in the hall were Shippo, Kagome and Inu. Rin having said something about making a playmate for Sango and Miroku’s new child.

“I’m gonna go wind down from the night. I’ll catch you guys in the morning,” Shippo said with a laugh.

“Bye kiddo. Try not to stay up too late with those stupid games. We don’t need you tired and cranky in the morning. I hate it when you’re cranky. You get on my nerves more then normal.”

Shippo just smiled at his adopted father and took off.

“Games?” Kagome asked.

“The brat is spoiled. He asked each one of us for a different game station for Christmas one year. And being the dumb ass we are, we didn’t check to see what the other’s were getting him. Sess and Rin got him the X-box, Sango and Miroku got him the game cube, and Koga and Ayame got him a Playstation 2.”

“And what did you give him Inu?”

He grinned. “The idea.”

Kagome couldn’t help but laugh. She hadn’t felt this good in a while. It was good to be back with her dear friends. They understood what she went through better then anyone else could, they had gone through it with her.

Her family had help this last year, but it wasn’t the same as having her friends. Her family only knew what happened from what Kagome herself had told them. But her friends were there. They knew how hard, and fun, it was. They understood what she had felt in those moments.

“So you never said which wing you’d like to sleep in,” Inu said.

“Umm, I don’t really want to hear Sango and Miroku going at it, so that leaves your wing. I’m sure there won’t be anyone having sex there.”

Inu grinned. “Oh you never know.”

“Inuyasha!”

He laughed. “I was talking about Shippo and Kaiya. They have it bad for each other, but won’t admit it. You never know, tonight might be the night. In fact they kind of remind me of us.”

Kagome smiled. “You have a point.”

“Let me show you to your room,” Inu said, and turned to go up the stairs.

“I’d rather be shown yours,” came out of Kagome’s mouth once Inuyasha had his back turned to her. She saw it stiffen.

“Really?” was all that Inuyasha could say. He had waited 500 years to see her, and now that she was here, he didn’t want to rush into anything. But if she was willing, he wasn’t going to fight it. He wasn’t stupid. He knew that there were things that they still needed to talk about, but if she was willing to wait until after, then so was he. He wanted her to dictate how this relationship would work out.

“I still remember those times that you would hold me until I fell asleep after I had had a nightmare. They were few and far between, but they were the best nights sleep I’ve ever had. I want that again, Inu. I want you to hold me as I fall asleep, and I want to wake up with you still there this time.”

Inuyasha was shocked. Was she saying she was ready for more? Or was it really as simple as her just wanting him to hold her? He needed to ask her before he could agree.

“Do you really only want my to hold you? Or is there something more to this request, Kagome?”

She came around to face him and smiled up at him. “I lost you once Inu, and my heart broke. I don’t think I could go through with that again. Let me love you Inuyasha, like I’ve longed to this past year.”

Inu picked her up so he could carry her bridal style, a huge grin on his face.

“I would be honored to show you my room, my lovely Kags.” $&$&$  

A/N: I’ve decided to stop there, even though I have more written. I’m not sure if I want to post the lemon that’s coming up next. It will be the first time I’ve written one, and I’m not sure how good it is. But we’ll see. I’ll think on it, and post it if I feel up to it.
