InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Turning The Tables ❯ Snores, Plans, and Kisses. ( Chapter 9 )

Inu Yasha's ears twitched at the sounds of Sango and Miroku inside the hut and laughed, "They are at it again," He walked inside with Kagome in his arms and smiled at the couple who squeaked and sat up suddenly pulling their robes on quickly trying to make themselves decent, "You two make a good couple ....a couple of what, I have yet to figure out."

Kagome didn't wake, letting herself sleep comfortably for the first time since he died. She let herself fall into the abyss of his embrace and surprisingly, she began to snore.

Inu Yasha's ears flattened against his head as she snored, "Uhhhhh someone make her stop for the loves of the gods above" He laid her down on a nearby futon and looked her as she snored and sweat dropped "ok...."

She wrinkled her nose in her sleep and whimpered. Her snoring stopped, but she started nosing around as if looking for something. Inu Yasha looked over at Sango and shrugged sitting down next to his Kagome.

Kagome curled up into a ball and wrapped her arms around herself. Sango looked over at Inu Yasha, "She hasn't slept... in over a year now... not well anyway... when she does collapse from exhaustion… she has terrible nightmares… the only times we have witnessed her sleeping decently is when she has been gone for a while and we find her asleep on your grave…"

His ears lowered, "And it's all because, I was too weak, and I got killed," He reached out and moved a stray strand of hair from her gentle face, "All my fault…"

Sango sighed, "No… She blames herself for not being able to get to you in time… it wasn't either of your faults... but she keeps insisting that if she hadn't have gone home as much and finished the jewel sooner, that you would have lived."

Inu Yasha scowled, "It wasn't her fault, I should have destroyed Naraku sooner." He shook his head as he lay down next to Kagome. "And now I'm trapped in this body and hell I can't remember hardly anything but I do get flash backs." He wrapped his arm around her waist lovingly and lay his head on her shoulder.

Kagome calmed down and stopped moving, curling into Inu Yasha's embrace again, and Miroku shook his head, "Well the most important thing is.. You two haven't lost each other forever."

He sighed, "But I don't know how long Inuki will let me stay that's the problem ...it's kinda like twp souls fighting over one body," he nuzzled her neck breathing in her sweet scent that he missed so much.

Sango watched him for a minute, "What about the Shikon No Tama?"

Inu Yasha looked at her, "What about it?"

Sango looked up, "Can it help with anything?"

Inu Yasha shrugged "I don't know."

Miroku, "What do you think will wind up happening, Inu Yasha?"

He frowned, "If we keep fighting for control, it will eventually drive Inuki insane, and when he goes over the edge so will I."

Miroku scowled, "So we need you two to either become one with each other, or for us to get you out of that body."

Inu Yasha nodded, "But how to do it, I don't know," he breathed in her scent again as he pulled her closer, "I don't want Kagome to think I have come back for the jewel ...hell that's not what I came back for…"

Sango nodded, "I think she knows that," she indicated at the way the girl was clinging to Inu Yasha as if she were to let go, life itself would end.

He yawned, "I have to figure out something soon, I can't keep doing this."

Miroku nodded, "We will help out the best we can. Our best bet is to get you into a separate body. There is no way in hell you could coincide with anyone."

"But what about the boy ...in a way he's a part of me," he kissed Kagome's neck, "I mean ripping us apart might cause more harm than good."

Miroku nodded, "True... but it's been done before with minimal side affects. Like with Kikyou and Kagome."

"Alright we will try it as soon as possible."

Miroku nodded, "It may be best if we used your remains, as a demons body never really decomposes."

"Wait, I don't want to wind up like Kikyou did!" the hanyou looked at Miroku wide eyed.

Miroku shook his head, "No no no no no, you see Kikyou's body had to be remade with cursed soil because she had been cremated. We just buried you so no one would try to find your remains. You wouldn't need to absorb souls because you are already a demon and a whole body."

Inu Yasha laid there in silence, looking at Kagome for a few minutes, "When do we do this?"

Miroku frowned, "Whenever the moon is fullest and the body and soul is ready."

He nodded, "Alright we will do it, just don't tell Kagome ..."

Sango nodded, "But are you sure you want to surprise her like that?"

"It's more I don't want to break her heart again if it doesn't work."

Sango nodded, "Well Miroku and I need to get the kids to bed. You and Kagome can sleep where ever you fall," she stood up and she and Miroku hustled the children out of the room.

Inu Yasha held Kagome closer as he pulled a blanket over them, "Night Kagome" He closed his eyes and snuggled up to her.

Kagome opened her eyes slightly, and yawned, "n...nani?"

''It's nothing, go to sleep," he kissed her cheek.

She looked up and glanced at his ears. A small smile spread across her face and she reached up caressing them gently.

He purred and nuzzled her neck, "Go to sleep, Kagome"

She smiled, "Ah no… I'm spending as much time with you as I can."

He smiled at her, "I'm not going anywhere, Kagome."

Kagome smiled at him and kissed him gently.

"Good"

He smiled, "Nice to see you still love me after leaving you alone for so long."

She smiled at him, "Nothing could change the way I feel about you."

Inu Yasha kissed her lips and wrapped his arms around the frail girl holding her tightly and coaxed her into falling asleep, "I know, Kagome."
