Chapter 14: Sleeping and Waking

Kagome led Miroku out of the shrine. When they walked out it was dark. Kagome assumed it was past midnight. Miroku was awed by what he could see. He had never seen huts as big as Kagome’s. ‘Maybe she comes from a wealthy family’ he thought. Kagome led him into her house and turned on the lights. Miroku was speechless. “My family is probably asleep,” announced Kagome. “I guess we can just go to sleep in my room so mom doesn’t have a heart attack if she finds you on the couch.” Miroku’s face lit up at the idea of sleeping in Kagome’s room alone. ‘The possibilities are endless’ he thought perversely.
Once they made it up to Kagome’s room Miroku noticed it was very girlie. All the pink was kind of unnerving to him. “My mom decorated the room when I was a little girl,” said Kagome as if reading his mind. “Ok, I’m going to get you some blankets and a pillow. I’ll be right back,” she said while walking out. Miroku decided to take the opportunity to explore Kagome’s room. He started with her closet and found different clothes, shoes, and hats. He moved on thinking there was nothing interesting in there. He went to her desk and rummaged trough everything. There was a picture that caught his attention. It was one of Kagome with her friends and a guy. ‘Who could this be’ he wondered. Under the picture he found a letter. His curiosity got the better of him so he decided to open it. As he read it he grew angry. It was a love letter from a guy named Hojo. ‘I remember Kagome telling Sango about some Hojo guy while they bathed’ he thought to himself. ‘I’m going to have to find out who this Hobo guy is’.
Kagome walked in with a load of blankets and pillows. Miroku quickly hid the letter he had found. “Here Miroku, you can make yourself comfortable on the floor. I’ll sleep in my bed.” Miroku looked at the floor distastefully. “I’m going to change for the night, then you can change if you want,” said Kagome. She walked out again and changed into her pajamas thinking ‘should I really sleep in the same room as Miroku’. Miroku in the meantime was setting up where he’d sleep. When Kagome returned she noticed Miroku had already made himself comfortable by removing his hoari. He was now only in his pants. ‘Wow, who knew Miroku looked like that under all his clothes’ thought Kagome mesmerized by his chiseled chest. Miroku saw how she was staring at his body. ‘I guess she likes what she sees’ he thought arrogantly. “Kagome, will you be joining me tonight,” he said playfully.
This brought Kagome out of her trance. In minutes her face turned four shades of red. ‘I can’t believe he saw me checking him out’ she thought. “No Miroku, like I said, you on floor and me on bed. Make sure it stays like that,” she said. Miroku nodded in understanding. He silently vowed to sleep in that bed with Kagome before they returned to feudal Japan. ‘Well maybe not sleep’ he thought perversely. They both settled in for the night but Kagome couldn’t sleep. She remembered how peaceful she had slept the day Miroku was unconscious. In her tired state she decided to sleep with Miroku. She quickly made her way to Miroku’s side and fell asleep with his warmth.


Morning came and Miroku realized he wasn’t on the floor alone. ‘I knew she couldn’t resist me’ he thought when he saw Kagome. As Kagome awoke she noticed Miroku was looking at her. His eyes caught her attention. She had never seen them so loving yet so conflicting. “Good morning dear,” teased Miroku. He then kissed her gently. ‘I could definitely get used to mornings like this’ thought Miroku. When he pulled away Kagome looked dreamily at him. “What a way to wake up,” she said quietly. Miroku smirked. ‘I can’t believe I said that out loud’ thought Kagome. Before she could explain her words Miroku rolled on top of her. He supported his weight on his hands and knees. When he saw Kagome was looking at her he gave her a charming smirk.
Kagome could feel butterflies building in her stomach. Miroku slowly leaned down and caught her lips once again. Unlike the previous kiss this one held much more emotion. It held passion, hunger, and need. Kagome slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and tangled her fingers in his hair. Once she realized his upper body was bare she couldn’t help explore his back. Miroku was slowly loosing control. Kagome could feel her body warm up. With the last bit of rationality she pushed him a bit. Miroku panted trying to regain control. ‘I’m going to need a cold bath now’ he thought. “We gotta stop before my mom walks in,” said Kagome trying to control her hormones. He slowly nodded and gave her one last chaste kiss before getting off of her.
