Chapter 4: Just having some fun

While Kagome gave chase to the four fools that dared to laugh at her Kurama, Hiei, Sesshoumaru and Kirara stood calmly watching it all go on. Kurama had a small smile on his face, Sesshoumaru and Hiei smirked slightly as they watched Kagome give Kuwabara a ‘Super Wedgie’ it seemed to work really well now that she was a demoness, therefore being stronger being able to give bigger wedgies. She chuckled evilly and set off for Shippo, Rin and Yusuke.

Yusuke attempted to run behind Kurama but Kagome since she was small enough slid under both there legs coming up behind Yusuke giving him a ‘Super Wedgie’ like she did Kuwabara. He yelped but it wasn’t like Kuwabara’s whose was a girlish scream. Kagome grinned and went after the two kids.

Rin and Shippo attempted to take cover with Sesshoumaru whom raised an eyebrow not doing a thing. Kagome not minding Sesshoumaru pounced on him causing all four of them to go tumbling to the soft grass. She got both Shippo and Rin and tickled them mercilessly on Sesshoumaru’s stomach. Sesshoumaru raised both eyebrows at her. She was straddling his hips tickling the two kids as they were screaming for mercy.

“WE GIVE UP KAGOME WE GIVE UP!!! “ They managed to gasp out before subsiding into another bout of giggles. While kagome’s deft and delicate hands tickled them she suddenly paused right before Yusuke tackled her to the ground tickling her ribs.

“Shippo, Rin, get her feet!” Yusuke exclaimed. “Revenge is a Bitch.” He said softly into her ear so that the children wouldn’t hear. Kagome pouted trying to fight back but Kuwabara came and held her arms above her head as Yusuke tickled her ribs and stomach, the kids got her feet. She was squealing and giggling softly trying to hold it in. When Yusuke touched an extremely sensitive spot on her stomach she collapsed into full boisterous laughter.

Yusuke grinned wickedly and lifted up her white undershirt, her haori having been discarded earlier and blew gently on the bare skin on her stomach. She squealed and began fighting back even more vehemently. He placed his mouth on her stomach and blew hard. She collapsed laughing again nearly boneless. He grinned wickedly, Kagome was suddenly filled with dread. She squealed, quite loudly might I add as Yusuke blew lightly over the spot where his mouth once occupied. His mouth had left a wet imprint of his lips and the air from his mouth was cool as it touched her stomach.

“Sesshoumaru!!! Help me please!!!” Kagome cried as Yusuke resumed tickling her along with the giggling kids. Kagome pouted, not at all liking the situation. She suddenly smirked causing Yusuke and the other’s to pause. She used her strength to break out of Kuwabara’s hold grabbing Yusuke’s shirt and using her momentum to roll over him, and he over her so that he was now on the bottom instead of her. She smiled widely as she proceeded to get her revenge.

“As you said before Yusuke, Revenge is a Bitch.” Kagome said before her fingers lightly glided over his ribs causing him to give a choked laugh. Her fingers gently danced over the sensitive skin of his ribs and she licked his sides and blew on it causing the Toushin to collapse in laughter. He managed to get her under the arms while she proceeded to tickle him ruthlesslly. After a couple of minutes they collapsed against each other trying to catch their breath. She laid contently against his chest, her head pressed into the solid warmth of his chest and her legs twined with his. Yusuke’s right arm was drapped over her tiny waist and his left hand was laying under his head giving himself a makeshift pillow. Kagome’s tail, eager for attention rested on Yusuke’s chest next to Kagome’s head.

He smiled softly down at his friend. It had been a long time since he’d laughed like that. ‘When was the last time that I laughed that hard? I don’t even remember laughing that hard with Keiko.’ Yusuke thought, content to just hold his best friend. ‘I’ve never realized how much I missed her. I miss just holding her like this, I really should spend more time with her. She’s the light in my life and has been even before Keiko, it make’s sense that she would still be the light in my life even after Keiko.’ Yusuke thought nuzzling his head into her hair before sighing. Kagome glanced up at him lazily when she felt his hand stop stroking her lower back right above the base of her tails, she had been purring.

She yawned and extracted herself from his grasp and stood. As she stood she streched in a distinct cat like motion. She glided over to the others and motioned that they should retire for the night and start training in the morning. Kagome picked Shippo up and Kirara jumped onto her shoulder she started to walk to the house with Sesshoumaru, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara and the now standing Yusuke trailing slightly behind her.

“So who’s going to sleep where?” Kuwabara asked.

“Kurama, you and Hiei can share the guest room unless either of you would like to sleep somewhere else.” Hiei left to find a comfortable tree to sleep in.

“Kuwabara, you can stay in my brother’s room.”

“Sesshoumaru...uh...hm...” Kagome trailed off not knowing where to put the Taiyoukai.

“I will rest outside.” He said before taking his leave, probably to find another tree to sleep in.

“Yusuke, you can sleep in my room and I’ll sleep in Mom’s room.” Kagome said, all through her speech she was very careful to keep a blank face.

“Alright then...Lets go.” Kagome said and led them all to there individual rooms. Yusuke’s room, well actually Kagome’s room was the last door on the left, Souta’s room was the first room on the left, Kuwabara’s room was accross from Souta’s and Kurama’s was across from Yusukes. Kagome’s mom’s room was directly down the hall.

“Goodnight.” She bid them all before retreating into her room with Rin, Shippo and Kirara. She placed the two exhausted kids on the bed and went to her room to get a change of clothing so that she could take a shower. Kagome knocked gently on the door and a shirtless Yusuke answered.

“Yeah?” He asked.

“I just need to get a new change of clothes.” Kagome said stepping to the side of him and into the room. She grabbed some undergarments, pajama’s and a new outfit for both herself, Shippo and one long nightshirt for Rin. She passed Yusuke muttering a small ‘goodnight’ before leaving the room.

After Kagome dressed the exhausted kid’s and tucked them into bed giving each a small kiss she proceeded to her mother’s bathroom. As she entered the bathroom the soft scent of fresh linen and apples reached her sensitive nose...Her mother’s scent. She let a few tears fall before wiping them away angrily. She would not cry, she would not show weakness...She could not. Her mother would not want her to continue to mourn for her. She had done such a good job at keeping her smiling fascade up, it would not do to have it all come crumbling down now.

As Kagome took her shower she contemplated the situation she was currently in. She knew that no matter what she said or did that Yusuke would find a way to protect her. He was way to possesive for his own good. But then again where did she get off saying that, she was just as possesive if not more so than Yusuke. She also knew that Naraku was not going to be an easy opponent. Especially since Sango and Miroku had been taken down. She was definetly going to need to call upon allies.

Revenge...That was Kagome’s dominant thought at the moment. The need to kill, the need to make the bastard pay for all the horrendous crimes that he commited. The urge to make him pay for all the suffering and damage he has caused. The desparate need for revenge, to make things right in the world. The revenge that would take her mind off of her own pain. And Kagome knew...She knew that it was killing her inside. The need for revenge has managed to keep her sorrow and pain locked up deep inside. But the real question was what happened when she finally took her revenge. Would her heart still ache? Would she be consumed by her sorrow? What would happen after the rage has passed?

She stepped out of the steaming water, blue eyes troubled as she wrapped a fluffy green towel around her body. ‘I don’t know what to do. It shouldn’t be so hard to think about...The best thing I can think of doing right now is blocking it out. And that is probably the worst thing to do. Blocking out the pain always makes it come back to you tenfold later.’ Kagome thought to herself. She knew that she should let herself mourn. But she had to be strong. She had to. At least until Naraku was dead. And then...And then she would cry, and then she would mourn...And then...She would let all her barriers come falling down. But until then she had to remain strong. For Sango. For Miroku. For all those who’s lives Naraku had destroyed. For her remaining family. For Yusuke. For Herself.

With her resolve complete she dressed in her black undergarments, slipped into her black flannel pajama pant’s and a black muscle t-shirt before slipping into bed between the two kids who instinctively snuggled closer to her warmth. She sighed softly kissing each of their foreheads before whispering a small sweet goodnight as she slowly drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

~^~With Kurama~^~

Kurama sighed softly to himself his thoughts on a certain princess. ‘Who would have thought that Yusuke’s best friend would happen to be the Princess of the Western Lands in Sengoku Jidai, and Heir to Makai. ‘ ‘Certainly not me.’ Youko responded to Kurama. ‘Go back to sleep Youko.’ ‘Hmph.’ Was the response from the arrogant silver fox in his head.

“What is it about her that captures my attention so...” Kurama pondered to himself as he fell into a light slumber.
