The Passing Of Love Through Time (An InuYasha FanFiction)

A Homey Feeling

Kagome sighed and got up and began pushing InuYasha and Jaken out towards the flap.

"Hey Kagome, what are you doing?" Jaken asked, InuYasha looked at her as she continued to push.

"I need to clean Rin up and I can't do that if there are two boys in the hut when I strip her and dress her wounds."

"I cannot leave!" Jaken squawked, "Sesshomaru expects me to watch over Rin and make sure she is safe!"

Kagome's mood shifted as her once timid face turned to one of anger with flames that seem to light in her eyes. Jaken backed away in fear.

"Shouldn't have done that." InuYasha whispered loud enough for Jaken's demon ears to hear. Kagome picked up the imp and proceeded to walk out the front flap and stand there as InuYasha came outside, following his moody wife. Once they were both out of the hut, Kagome smiled to Jaken as kindly as she could manage at the moment before drop kicking him and watched him as he rolled down the hill and into one of the ditches created by the branches from earlier.

Kagome brushed her hands off then turned to face InuYasha. He stiffened; he didn't know what was going to happen next. Kagome walked close enough that their faces were only mere inches apart then headed back inside the hut.

InuYasha had the greatest urge to close that small gap between them right then and there and let his lips connect with hers. But he didn't want to upset her; he'll have to wait later once the mood swing passes. Kagome came back out with Erikku and Shippou in her arms. InuYasha took the two sleeping demons from her arms then started to lean in for a kiss before backing away remembering her raging hormones. But she surprised him by leaning forward and giving him a kiss on the cheek before whispering, "Keep a close watch on them." seductively in his ear.

Kagome walked back inside the hut and started to undress Rin from her bloody kimono. The thorns didn't pierce anything vital, but there were still a lot of cuts that needed tending too.

Slowly but surely she dressed all of the cuts. A couple times she asked InuYasha to get new water or more herbs, but he didn't argue and got them in record time.

It was a little past noon when there was a knock from outside. Sango entered.

"Hey."

"Hey Sango." Kagome greeted looking up from her work for a moment.

"You've been working on her for a while, do want me to take over?"

"No thanks, but thanks for your concern." Kagome smiled at Sango and noted a piece of folded fabric in her arms. "What's that?" She asked pointing at the cloth.

"Oh, Sesshomaru dropped this kimono off for Rin. InuYasha wanted me to give it to you." Sango placed the kimono on the opposite side of Rin. "Oh and you should thank InuYasha, he's the one that asked me to come in here to check on you."

"Oh." Kagome's face fell, remembering how horribly she treated him and Jaken a few hours ago. Man, I was such a jerk to them. I hope Jaken didn't get too hurt after I kicked him.

"Kagome," Kagome snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Sango heading for the door. "I'm gonna go. You sure you don't want a break?"

"Yeah." She sighed. Sango started heading out the front flap. "Sango!" She stopped and turned to her friend. "Could you take over from here? She's almost done and I want to check to make sure everyone else is okay."

Sango nodded, "Of course Kagome, just make sure you see InuYasha first." Sango walked over and started dressing where Kagome left off.

"Okay, thanks Sango." Kagome waved then headed out the front flap. Kagome breathed a sigh of relief as she felt sun stream across her face. Kagome looked at her surroundings.

The ditches from last night were already refilled with dirt and the village was going through its usual hustle and bustle like nothing happened.

Kagome walked down towards the river, but stopped and grabbed an apple from a tree when she realized how hungry she was.

She was more than three quarters of the way through the apple when she made it to the river. Most of the kids were playing in the water with InuYasha and Miroku keeping watch. Mika, Sora, (The first set of twin girls) Chumi (middle son) Shippou, and Erikku were all playing a round of Marco Polo. InuYasha and Miroku were each holding one of the young twins as they watched the others play.

Miroku was holding the young boy while he slept, but InuYasha on the other hand was making funny faces and using baby talk on the giggling girl Miki in his lap. Kagome couldn't help but laugh at the sight. He looked very happy and it warmed Kagome's heart.

Everyone stopped what he or she was doing at the sound of Kagome's laughter to look up to see Kagome. Everyone greeted her, while InuYasha looked away and started blushing.

Kagome walked over and sat down next to him. "May I hold her?" She asked him.

"Huh?" He looked at her still blushing, "Oh yeah, sure." He gently handed the small girl over to Kagome as she adjusted the child in her arms. "Watch her head." He warned. But the warning was unneeded, the child was now comfortably in her arms and was playing with a lock of Kagome's hair.

Kagome was chuckling at the girl as she tugged at the strand and put it in her mouth.

"Hey hey hey," InuYasha said, he reached over and pulled the strand out of her mouth and pushed all of Kagome's hair behind her shoulders. "You can't eat that." He said with a mocking tone as he tapped her nose. The girl latched onto his finger with both of her tiny hands. Each one barley going half way around his pointer finger.

Both she and Kagome giggled as he tried to pull his finger away form her tiny grasp without hurting her feelings. She only let go when she grabbed a piece of his silvery hair and put it in her mouth. Kagome laughed and removed the now slimy piece of hair from her mouth and tucked it behind InuYasha's ear. Kagome offered her pointer finger to the one month old. She happily took it and then started to suck on it like a pacifier.

InuYasha put his arm around Kagome and pulled her close so that she was leaning on his shoulder. She looked up from the baby and smiled at him. He smiled back and gave her a kiss. They both broke their gaze as they looked down at the baby girl in Kagome's arms who's eyes were slowly starting to droop.

Miroku was watching them out of the corner of his eye. And smiled at the happy couple. Oh what I would do to get a painting of this! He smiled to himself.
