Kagome's POV

~~~Chapter 12~~~

If I hadn't been feeling guilty about how I had behaved earlier I would've smacked him for that one. 'Where on earth did you get such hideous pajamas?' indeed! I'll have you know that tartan is stylish. Ok maybe not so much in these particular shades but that's besides the point.

"Kagome?"

Nope, I'm ignoring you.

"Alright then. Goodnight."

Hmph!

How dare he just cuddle up to me and fall asleep like that?! Jerk.

I'm wide awake now. And very aware of how our bodies are fitting together. Almost like we were made for each other. Oh what a stupid thought! How can even have such ridiculous notions? But then again…

What's so ridiculous about it?

In all this time I've seen weirder. Humanity can be quite ridiculous, and so for that matter can demons. But don't tell them that, they don't take it so well. What on earth is it about him that could prompt me to have such thoughts stirring around in the back of my head?

I wonder what time it is? No! No! Bad Kagome! You have to figure this out!

Now what exactly is it I'm feeling for him? Like him? He's a wonderful companion and easy to talk to. Attracted to him? Hell yes! But what exactly do I want with him? A friend, a lover, or… perhaps something more? Maybe because I'm back with Shippou and my instinct say he needs a father? And Kurama is the first male to express an interest in me despite my son? Could it be something so simple?

Heh, I love Calvin and Hobbs.

I know that seems completely random but that thought suddenly reminded me of a comic strip where Calvin is yelling for his mom in the middle of the night and she rushes to the room thinking he's having a nightmare or something. The he just looks at her and asks, "Mom, do you think love is a biochemical reaction designed to get our genes passed on?" Then she's all, "I don't know, but whatever it is it's the only thing keeping me from killing you right now."

That strip made me very happy for some reason. It's the small things that make me happy I've discovered.

And I am evading the issue. Focus Kagome!

Ok, so we know we like him as a person, are attracted to him, and that he doesn't seem to mind the thought of Shippou. Either that or he hasn't met him and therefore the reality of my kit hasn't sunk into his mind. I'm letting the guy sleep in my bed after knowing him a couple of days despite the fact that I know he's also a full grown fox demon.

Of all things to arbitrarily invite to my bed. Ye gods what am I thinking?

So we know we trust him. And we know that he is at the very least interested in us. And we- why are we thinking in third person? Too much Fluffy influence I suppose. Anyways we're pretty sure Shippou would like him and accept him as a father figure. And he's a fox. He'd be very helpful raising Shippou if he agreed. All in all, he is perfect.

But is it fair to assume that by 'relationship' he meant something more permanent? I mean he still doesn't know everything about me and Shippou. They haven't even met. Hm. Looks like I'll just have to wait and see how things unfold between them before I make any decisions in regards to the fox… that is currently licking my NE- AAHHH!!!

Ow!ow!ow!ow!ow!ouch!ow!oohnotgood!ow!ow!ow!ow!ow!ow!ow!owie< /i>!

Can I say again- ouch! His canines are now embedded in my flesh- right where my neck meets my shoulder. I can feel blood start to dribble down my neck. Oooh he better not get any blood on my sheets! Pale blue satin, can you imagine trying to get the stains out?

Hey! Why'd you bite me? What'd I do to deserve that?

I feel something hard press into my back when he growls and pulls me tighter to him, his claws digging lightly into my flesh. Something's sure making him happy. I turn my head to look at him, and am greeted by the sight of a half transformed Kurama. And he's ASLEEP! I debate with myself whether I should try and wake him up and confront him, or skip the whole waking him up and confronting him in favor of just finding something hard and blunt and beating the shit out of him!

How dare he bite me?! I don't care if he wasn't awake!

When I try to shift my body away his grip tightens around me. The hand on my waist shifts down to my hip as he pulls me more fully against him. And his other hand snakes up to grip my shoulder, his arm pressing between my breasts. Ok, so I'm not moving any time soon. Or breathing for that matter.

I don't believe it! And- wait, what is that smell? Like roses… roses in a midnight storm. It's a wonderful smell. Very passionate and yet… strangely relaxing. Reassuring. Now he's licking me again. And nuzzling me. And I feel so warm and… heavy… eyes are so heavy… safe… I feel myself begin to drift asleep…

[The rest of this is all very 'chase me, chase me' and 'catch me, catch me' and all in a rather 'sexy, sexy' way with a slight hint of kinkiness. However because this is fanfiction.net you'll never know how much unless you find my story on another site. Try mediaminer.org if you reaaaaallly want the rest of it. If you don't really care about the lemoness, that's fine. You can say they calmly slept the rest of the night away dreaming of tropical fish and dandelions. You're version is probably better anyways. ^_^]

RING!

I feel a disappointed sob come from my throat as I snap awake.

Someone is going to die!

The phone next to my head is ringing. I glance around trying to gain my bearings. I am lying in my bed, with Kurama wrapped tightly around me. I realize where his hand is when I try to move. He is still asleep but he looks like he might be waking up soon.

Kurama jerks awake at the second ring, and blearily looks around. I give him a pointed look and he realizes exactly where his hand is with an undignified yelp. As soon as he removes it, I roll over and answer the phone. I purposely allow my voice to sound garbled, like I was just woken up so that hopefully who ever was on the other end would never realize that something else completely was going on. I feel my face flush and I avoid looking at my companion as I roll away from him, pulling the covers up over myself.

His horrified sounds of apology in the background would be amusing if I weren't so embarrassed myself. I make a shushing motion with my hand. That and the fact that he is so horrified at the thought of what he did is also kinda insulting. I mean what's wrong with me? What? Aren't I good enough to be seduced in my sleep?

Kami! I did not just think that! I must be more off balanced than I realize if I could be having such stupid thoughts!

I focus on the voice on the other end of the line. Oh it's mom. You know being interrupted in the middle of something like that at all makes you feel uncomfortable. The person interrupting you being you mother makes you feel downright guilty. I never realized that until now.

"Kagome? There you are. I thought this was where you would be! Kagome wake up! There's a nice young man here who brought Shippou back to us! Oh here, you boys just have some more coffee! And cookies!"

"Mom? Shippou! He's safe?! They got him?!"

"Yes, yes, he's back! Well he's a bit, er hyper, but otherwise fine."

"Great! I'll be right over to get him!"

"Oh don't worry about it Kagome! These boys wanted to speak with you so I'm giving them your address. The boy who found him and some of his friends are going to come over and drop little Shippou off! They'll be there in just a bit!"

"Ok then, I'll be waiting! Thanks mom!"

I rushed to the bathroom as soon as I hung up the phone. I don't really want to deal with a guilt ridden male at the moment anyways. When I start to take off my pajamas I realize something really weird. I look closer at my reflection in the mirror. Why is the bite mark on my neck is still slightly bleeding? And just why are all the buttons missing from my shirt?
