InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Street Musician ❯ Morning After ( Chapter 9 )

I do not own Inuyasha & Co.

Oi, Minna!  Yes, I must apologize for the major juicy cliffy I left you all with like...Three months ago... (Hides in the corner)...Honestly, I swear...I forgot how I ended the last chapter I wrote.  Please forgive me, since it is a rarity or me to end a chapter during a possible sex scene...*shifts eyes* Yes, I said possible...Especially since this fic is considered to be along the lines of Unaware. You know, not too much description, leaving those scenes tastefully written for most audiences.  So, I'm asking for forgiveness due to people thinking it was going to turn into something...And...It...didn't...Yeah...*clears throat* Now, on with the fic, since it's no longer on hiatus...YAY!

 

Chapter 9: Morning After

 

After their make out session earlier that afternoon, Sango and Miroku went out to see a movie, and had been out until late evening. Being on a date, the two were unaware that their friends had made up after some time apart through `til earlier that evening.

 

Due to their absence, they didn't pay attention to the lights in the dorm when they decided to stop by to check on their friends.  Miroku then decided to call Inuyasha's cell at that point.  Once the call was answered, all he heard was a "thunk" and the call was dropped.  At that point, he realized what was going on in the dorm room.  Miroku flipped his cell phone closed and stuffed it safely in his pocket as he eyed the window above them.

 

"What happened?" Sango asked.

 

"I don't think we should go up tonight," Miroku suggested.

 

"But, I don't have my books or anything," Sango pointed out.

 

"No, I meant to your room," Miroku replied as he looked to her.

 

"What do you mean?" Sango asked in a skeptical tone.

 

"Exactly what you think I mean.  We have two options.  One, we spend the money for a hotel room.  Two, we stay in my dorm room tonight," he explained as he counted down with two fingers.

 

Sango eyed his two options and then looked up at the window above them as well.  She saw the curtain move slightly, showing that obviously, something was happening up there.  'Inuyasha hasn't left yet?' she thought to herself as her eyes remained trained on the curtains for a few more moments before looking back at Miroku as he gestured towards the men's dorms.

The room was filled with panting as the two lovers sank into each other's arms upon her bed.  Since the lamp was once again knocked over, it was very dark in the room save for the light from the window.  As Inuyasha trembled from the exertion he endured through his first time, Kagome held him to her as she regained her breath.  Inuyasha grunted as he buried his head in her shoulder and wrapped his arms around her torso.

 

"Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered through labored breathes.

 

"Shhh...Its okay, Inuyasha," Kagome comforted as his head lifted from her shoulder.  Once his gaze connected with hers, she saw the apologies he wished to say.  "Don't apologize, my love.  We both wanted this."

 

"But...This was..."

 

"Yes, it was.  And I'm glad to have shared it with none other than you, Inuyasha," Kagome reassured as he gained a smile and leaned forward to kiss her sweetly.  Once the kiss ended, Kagome asked, "Are you gonna stay here?"

 

"If you want me to stay," Inuyasha replied as he kissed her jaw-line.

 

"Would we...you know...again, if you do?" Kagome asked, stopping his kisses. 

 

"Not unless you want to," he replied nonchalantly.

 

"But you already used up the condom," Kagome pointed out.

 

"True.  I guess we won't then.  Plus that was rather earth shattering enough to wear me out" Inuyasha mentioned and he gained a chuckle from Kagome as he chuckled as well.  "I'd like to stay, if that's okay."

 

"Sure, but can I request something?" Kagome asked with a shy look on her face.

 

"What's that?" Inuyasha asked.

 

"Can we get dressed?  Just in case Sango comes back before we wake up?" Kagome asked.

 

He looked over the two of them and shrugged as he sat up and maneuvered himself off the bed to stand before her.  Their eyes remained locked as she rose from the bed.  As they stood staring at each other, she looked down, and then connected gazes and said, "You can go clean yourself up.  I'm fine."

 

His cheeks flushed as he then picked up his clothes, turned and walked to the bathroom.  Once the door closed, Kagome stepped to her dresser to grab some sleep clothes, quickly slipped them on, and then sat down upon her bed.  Once her gaze went towards the window, she noticed the mess they had made, along with the lamp being knocked off the side table between the two beds.

 

As she leaned over to gather up the lamp, Inuyasha appeared from the bathroom clothed in his jeans.  Kagome sat with the lamp in her lap and asked Inuyasha to turn on the light in the kitchenette area.  Once there was ample light in the room, she noticed the light bulb had shattered, and the lampshade had been knocked off against Sango's bed.  Once their mess was cleaned up, they turned in together on Kagome's bed, snuggled up nice and warm as she turned on her little fan that she pulled out from under her bed.

Sango had a night that was comfortable, and uneventful.  Miroku Houshi was more of a gentleman than she had imagined before.  He had his own room, complete with two beds.  Therefore, Sango was left to her own bed across the room from Miroku.  She was surprised at how deeply she slept with her boyfriend sleeping peacefully across the room from her.  She awoke first, and was slightly disoriented due to her surroundings.  Then, after a few moments, it all came back to her.  Kagome had Inuyasha with her the whole night.

 

As she rolled over onto her back, her right arm laid against her forehead at her hairline, she thought about Kagome.  Hoping that with whatever went on in their dorm that night that Inuyasha took good care of her.  Kagome had been alone since high school.  Sure, Kagome had a few boyfriends here and there, but nothing serious.  The relationship with Inuyasha had become much more than just the average dating relationship.  Something happened between them when they met.

 

She had never seen a connection like the one Inuyasha and Kagome have.  Something too special to overlook.  She had never thought a relationship could be that deep where they could both read each other's hearts and souls like books.  And how they both could feel each other's emotions so easily.  What caught Sango's attention first, were Inuyasha's emotions and feelings.  His heart wasn't nearly as guarded as most men kept them.  His passionate soul was out there for everyone to see.  Hiding nothing, can be wonderful, but could end up his greatest downfall.  Honest to a fault, Inuyasha caught Kagome's kind heart with music.

 

Poetry; the language of love and emotion.  The soul's way of expression.  Both deep and full of meaning.  Sango could never grasp how to express her heart and soul.  It seemed emotion and passion were the creeds of Miroku's heart, it being easy for him to express his love and praise for her no matter how many times she turned him down so far.  Kagome had always been good with words, and expression.  Obviously, Inuyasha cannot only say what he means to say, but also express it in an art form of guitar strums.

 

Sango was left with nothing more than physical expression.  She had always been a more physical person.  As a small child, she barely spoke.  Her body language explained all.  Sure, she knew how to speak and talk, but she refrained from using words, since she usually stumbled over them.  Actions speaking louder than words, facial expressions forming her sentences, she ended up in the background, pointing out the facts, rather than human thought or emotional ideals.  She was a yes or no thinker.  There was no grey area in her mind.  Her heart not knowing how to express itself openly had become part of the reason why she wasn't good in relationships, or with people.

 

Kagome tended to read her actions, and her thoughts in order to explain to her why she was the way she was.  Even though Kagome was known for her way with words and descriptions, Sango was surprised by every piece of advice Kagome has given her.  That is why, wherever Kagome is, Sango gravitates.  Kagome is kind of, like an emotional translator for her in the fact that Sango could not interpret situations general people would call normal every day happenings.  Her mind focusing more on technicalities of life, Kagome was her compliment.

 

At that point, Sango knew she wasn't going to sleep any longer, sat up and set her feet on the carpet as the man across from her stirred slightly and continued to breathe steadily while sleep continued its hold on him.  She stared at his slumbering form, covered with the comforter and thought about him.  The way he'd been since the day she'd met him.  How she misinterpreted his words and actions was expected.  He is a man not to be set amongst the rest.  Sure, he can be a bit risqué at times, but still sweet like honey.

 

Not only had Sango found a compliment to herself in Kagome, but also in Miroku.  He was a man of the heart.  He knows how to woo and how to make a woman melt like butter.  Sure, he didn't express his heart nearly as simply as Inuyasha has, but he knows how to play with emotions and words in order to turn any situation around from bad to good.  He can make the best of the worst times.  Sango only had the ability for seeing situations, as they are, not for what they can become.  To look through life as if it's a pane of clear glass, that's his ability.  Possibility.  Making his determination for her affection apparent.  No matter how she reacted to him, he never gave up.  Never a boring moment in his presence.

 

Thinking those things about him caused her to smile at his back, all bundled up.  Sure, she wanted his affection after all, but it would take time to want to go any further.  Trust was something she needed to feel comfortable with.  It had been a couple months, but still too soon for her to grasp even going as far as she was sure Inuyasha and Kagome had gone last night.  At that thought, she got up from the bed and stepped into his bathroom to freshen up and brush her hair.

A half hour later, Miroku sat up in his bed and he wiped the sleep from his eyes.  Once he could see properly, he looked to the spare bed and noticed Sango sitting there eyeing him while fully clothed.

 

"Morning, Sango," Miroku greeted her with a groggy smile.

 

"Morning, Miroku."

 

"How long have you been sitting there?" Miroku asked as he turned and set his feet on the floor, pushing the comforter off to the side revealing his purple boxers.

 

"Not long.  I've just been doing some thinking," Sango shrugged as her finger traced the lines on the comforter beside her.

 

"Oh?" Miroku's smile widened slightly as he changed his posture showing interest.

 

"Just stuff about everybody.  How we all met, who we each are, and how our relationships we've formed have affected me," Sango explained as she lifted her gaze to his.

 

"Ah.  And what have you gathered as you sat there alone in silence?" he asked as he moved to sit beside her and took her hand in his.

 

He sat at attention and kept eye contact as she explained her findings.  Once she was finished, he nodded and said, "Very perceptive, my Sango." 

 

As she blushed, he got up from the bed and headed towards the bathroom to freshen up so he could walk Sango back to her dorm.

 

After they were both ready to step out into public, Sango and Miroku made their way back to her dorm.  Sango became a little nervous as she knocked quietly. 

 

A soft moan was heard from Kagome as she lifted her head slightly off her pillow and looked around for a moment.  Inuyasha was spooned against her back, holding her body to his as his breath puffed her black hair from his face.  As a slight knock sounded again, she heard some muffled sounds coming from the door. 

 

Kagome sat up a bit more, bracing her body on her right elbow, causing Inuyasha to moan in complaint as his arms rose, and her warmth left his body.  Once the knob turned, the door opened, and the two stepped into the kitchen.  Kagome nudged Inuyasha to wake him up and his reaction was to grunt and roll over to face his back to her.  Kagome sighed and got up from the bed.

 

Miroku greeted Kagome kindly as Sango rushed past him to grab her books and some clean clothes.  Miroku and Kagome sat on Sango's bed to wait for her to get cleaned up.  They both whispered comments on how cute Inuyasha was all curled up while cradling her comforter for warmth.  Miroku asked her how the night was.  Kagome blushed and cleared her throat before answering with, "Fine.  Yours?"

 

"Nice, very nice.  Sango and I decided to leave you two be when we looked up and saw the curtains moving, but there was no light on," Miroku mentioned nonchalantly.

 

Kagome's blush deepened at the thought of what was going on at that point.  'My god...The curtains were moving even?'

 

Miroku noticed the look on her face as she stared across the room.  "Oh, don't worry.  Inuyasha's a good man.  Did you know this was his first time?"

 

Kagome shot him a strange look as he continued eyeing her nonchalantly as he awaited her response.  She looked away as she answered with, "Yes.  I do know.  He told me."

 

"Lucky bastard.  I haven't had a girl in a long time.  And there's no way I'm gonna rush Sango into anything.  She's too good to lose," Miroku replied as his gaze moved from his friend's sleeping form to the bathroom door on the other side of the dorm.

 

"So, you've...you know, already?" Kagome asked shyly.

 

"Of course," he replied proudly.

 

"How many?" Kagome asked with a smirk.

 

"Hmmm..." Miroku hummed as he began to count fingers.  Kagome laughed as she slapped her knees.  He chuckled in response.  With the sounds filling the dorm room, Inuyasha couldn't remain asleep. 

 

Once he rolled onto his back and began to moan, Kagome and Miroku continued to talk between them and make wise cracks about how cheerful Inuyasha happened to look on the morning after his first time. 

 

As Inuyasha sat up and noticed Kagome was sitting beside Miroku holding a hairbrush as a mic as they did commentary as if they were on a news show and were commenting on his appearance.  He sat and watched them for a few moments as they ad-libbed and told jokes. 

 

Since they were about him and his first morning after, he growled as he stood before them, slapped the mic out of Miroku's hand and snapped, "Lay-off..."

 

Kagome and Miroku froze for a moment as they watched him in shock.  Once he had knocked on the bathroom door, they both looked at each other and shrugged.  Once Sango vacated the bathroom for Inuyasha to relieve himself, the two began to snicker and laugh at the beehive his hair had formed into because of the pillow.

 

"What's going on here?  Inuyasha looks pissed off," Sango asked as she started slipping her books into her bag.

 

"Oh, nothing.  He's usually like this in the morning since he usually stays up late and wakes up in the late morning hours.  He'll be fine once he's done pissin'," Miroku said with a shrug, gaining a strange look from Kagome and Sango as the door opened and the man in question appeared with more of a cheerful disposition. 

 

Seeing that Miroku was right, the girls giggled gaining a, "What?" from Inuyasha.  Miroku's answer was a shrug as he tossed Inuyasha his shirt from across the room.

After the girls went off to class, and Miroku went off to the library to study a bit before his first religion class for the day, Inuyasha left the campus and walked home alone.  As he walked past the apartment buildings between the campus and home, he thought about his night with Kagome. 

 

He didn't plan on going as far as they had in such a short time, but he couldn't help himself with the situation they ended up in.  If he could, he'd have waited more, but with how Kagome said she wanted it to happen, that alone gave him confidence in the progression of the relationship. 

 

As he arrived at his apartment building, he tried to stifle the sighs and smudge away the content smile on his face.  The actions and emotions refused to leave his mind as he opened the front door and slipped out of his shoes.  Once he was finished, he stepped down the hallway sighing.

 

He hadn't come home the night before, least not while she was awake.  Sure, he did sometimes tend to come in super late, especially since he met Kagome, but to not even peek in and whisper goodnight to her light sleeping form was a little strange.  That was a nightly ritual he had.  Whenever he arrived home, even later than usual, he always whispered good night to her.  Last night, she awaited it, but it never came.  Not even any sounds around the apartment where heard.

 

As she finally heard his keys at the front door, she sighed, knowing something had gone on.  She heard him sigh a couple times after entering the apartment.  As he stepped towards her door, she watched for him as he arrived in her doorway.  Something about him was a bit different as he leaned against the doorframe with a look of pride on his face.

 

"Hey, ma.  How're ya feeling?"

 

"Oh, I'm fine.  How about you?  Where were you last night?" She asked with a questioning tone.

 

"Oh, I was with Miroku, Kagome and Sango.  Why?"

 

"Well, you left and didn't come back.  You stayed out by Miroku then?" She asked.

 

"Yeah.  We hung out in Miroku's dorm and watched movies and played cards.  When it got late, and we were all yawning, the girls left and I stayed by Miroku," Inuyasha lied as a slight blush appeared on his cheeks and his eyes began to wander a bit.

 

His mother nodded and a smirk appeared on her lips as she replied with, "Uh huh."

 

He stepped up to her bedside and leaned over her, kissed her forehead, and then turned from her as he said, "Well, I gotta take a shower and get changed so I can go to perform for a bit and then have lunch with them later."

 

She replied with, "Okay.  Nice to see you, son."

 

As he left the room and stepped into his own, she sat there, turning the thoughts in her head of his demeanor.  'Well, my son.  I certainly hope you used a condom last night.'  She thought to herself.  Yes, he could say all he wanted, and make up whatever stories seemed to fit, however, hiding that change from his mother was impossible.

Okay, now I know what you're thinking. So long, and so short a chapter. Unless the chapter length doesn't matter. I had a good time writing this chapter and I certainly hope you all are glad to see me writing for this fic again. Least I know I am (smiles). So, `til next time! Ja ne!
