Chapter 20 – Waiting is Hard
As the magic of the well transported the pair to the past, Inuyasha clung to Kagome as if he feared she would slip away from him. As soon as their feet hit the bottom, he pulled her even closer, one hand gripping her ass and the other in her hair, holding it out of the way, so that he could press hot, needy kisses to the side of her throat. He hated that Kagome didn’t want to tell everyone. It brought up worries and fears he didn’t want to think about. Her explanations hadn’t been enough to chase them all away, either. He had also grown quite addicted to Kagome’s body over the last week, having nearly constant access to it. Not touching her might be more difficult than he expected.
“Inuyasha, we literally just had sex twenty minutes ago,” she playfully complained.
The hanyou groaned. “Are you sure you want to do it this way? Why can’t we just come out and tell them? Hell, I’ll do it. You don’t even have to say the words. ”
“We are doing it this way because I am not ready for that conversation,” she replied, her tone determined. “No matter who says the words, I’m going to be the one they will either: A) grin at like a pervert, or B) ask questions with shock and embarrassment,” Kagome said while ticking off the options on her fingers. “You know how easily embarrassed Sango can be. She’ll be a sputtering tomato. Especially if you’re the one talking. You’d be way to blunt about it.”
“How am I supposed to keep my hands off you?” he murmured softly into her hair.
“I don’t know,” she started, while brushing his hand off her ass, “But you’re gonna have to figure it out.”
“For how long? How will I know when you’re ready?”
Kagome sighed heavily. “I don’t know, Inuyasha, but you’re going to have to control yourself for a while because I think I should tell Shippo first. He’s like my son and I think it’s only right he hears it from me.”
Inuyasha nodded, his hands moving teasingly over her body, wishing she were naked in his arms again. Twenty minutes felt like forever ago, especially not knowing how long it would be until they were together again. “But the well would be a great place, don’t you think?” the hanyou asked with a wicked smirk as sex slipped right back into focus in his mind. “Who’d go looking into an old empty well? It’s not all that far from the village. I think it’d work in a pinch.”
“Oh, yes, because I want to have sex in a dank well,” Kagome replied sarcastically.
“Even better, we could always travel to your time. No one goes near the well house.”
The miko sighed. “Is that how you’ve been spending all your free time? Trying to come up with places to have sex or ways to sneak away?”
“It’s not like you were doing it,” he muttered before returning to his task of covering her with kisses, hoping to change her mind. He still wasn’t comfortable with her desire to hide their relationship, even though she at least agreed that they were in a relationship. He still wasn’t sure why he was forced to ask what they were doing. Usually Kagome was big on talk and liked to know the plan, for whatever they were doing, before they started. They discussed travel routes and mealtime as high priorities, but she didn’t seem to want to talk about their relationship with the others. . It was making him insane. Would he be considered her boyfriend now? She hadn’t specifically called him that. But how could he be her boyfriend if no one knew about it? Was she embarrassed by him? He wanted them to be on the same page.
He hated floundering around, unsure of himself and it was making him nuts, which was making him horny, as so many things often did. It was easier to focus on her body than on his emotions, so that’s what he decided to do. Was she embarrassed by the sex? And why be embarrassed by something so amazing? He knew she loved how he made her feel. He wanted everyone to know!
When his hand slipped under her skirt, she tweaked his ear with a frown. “Inuyasha, would you stop and pay attention. Not everything is about sex. I’m concerned about how Shippo is going to react. Do you think I should tell him or what?”
“I think we should tell everyone, but yeah, the kid deserves to hear it from his mother, rather than finding out because I can’t keep my hands to myself any longer. Not touching you is torture,” he whined as she pulled away again.
"You'll survive," she said, trying to keep the edge of irritation out of her voice. She loved that he wanted her so badly, but she was all mixed up trying to do the right thing while at the same time worrying that it wasn’t the right thing at all. How was she supposed to talk to Shippo and explain that she was in a relationship with Inuyasha, who treated the kit as little more than an irritant most of the time? How would he react? She knew he wasn’t the biggest fan of Inuyasha, Shippo’s early hero worship of the hanyou falling away in the face of his rudeness and short temper, as well as the many times he made her cry in the past.
“So, how are we gonna do this?” Inuyasha asked, wanting specifics. He didn’t want to upset her by doing something obvious before she was ready. He needed to know when he was going to be allowed to touch her again.
“You’re gonna help me out of the well like normal and we’re going to walk to Kaede’s together. You’re going to act as normally as possible until I get a chance to talk to Shippo and find out how he feels about it. Then, we’ll find a way to talk, enough that I can tell you about it, and we can go from there, okay?”
“I guess,” he agreed hesitantly. She said he could catch them on quickly, but now he was supposed to wait for her okay. He could do that, but it didn’t help his insecurities very much.
“I’ll talk to Shippo at the first opportunity I get, though I have no idea what I’ll say to him. Why must everything be so complicated? Why can’t we just be? I hate having to be mature about things.”
“But telling Shippo and giving him some time to get used to it, if necessary, is the right thing to do, I think,” Inuyasha said, showing maturity he didn’t always seem to have, but his reluctance was still obvious. “I wish it was easier, too. I was hoping to be able to hold you tonight.”
“We’ll see,” Kagome replied. “Shippo’s feelings have to come first.”
“And if he doesn’t like it, and doesn’t want you with me?” Insecurities were beginning to win in his mind once more and the hanyou sighed.
“He doesn’t get to tell me who I can and can’t be with. He’s my kid. Things won’t be changing all that much. I think he’ll be okay. I hope he’ll be okay.”
Inuyasha nodded and leaned close once more. “Just give me another minute,” he whispered before pressing his lips to hers. It was going to be a long night.
~Inuyasha Discovers~
As Kagome and Inuyasha approached Kaede’s hut, Shippo bounded out to greet her. The miko dropped to her knees and drew the kit in for a tight hug. His nose found the side of her throat and he sniffed her carefully.
“Mama, you smell like Inuyasha. Like, a lot.”
“I know, sweetie,” she murmured softly into his hair. “Have you brushed your teeth yet? It’s almost bedtime.” When he shook his head, Kagome smiled. “Go get your stuff, give me a minute, and then we’ll go to the stream,” she told him, standing to greet Miroku, Sango, and Kaede. Even Kirara approached in greeting, the neko giving her a look that spoke of understanding and the miko sighed, for the moment thankful Sango’s constant companion couldn’t speak.
Once she finished saying her hellos, Kagome dug through her bag for her toothbrush and toothpaste, giving Shippo a smile as he approached with his own little toiletry bag containing his. They headed to the nearby stream, where Kagome found a comfortable spot to sit and cuddled the kit into her lap.
“I wanted to tell you before everyone found out. Inuyasha and I are… closer now. We’re together, I guess you could say.”
“You’re having sex,” the child deadpanned. When she looked shocked, Shippo rolled his eyes. “I had parents. I understand. I can recognize the scent. Why him, Mama? After everything he’s done and said?”
Kagome shrugged. “Because I love him. It kinda overshadows everything else.” Her tone was soft and thoughtful as she continued to think over his question. No matter how many times the hanyou hurt her, she always forgave him, because she always loved him. She just wasn’t ready for him to know that necessarily. If he knew she loved him, she might scare him off, though she suspected he harbored deep feelings, as well.
“Is he treating you right?” Shippo couldn’t believe his new mother had chosen to be with the gruff hanyou that had caused more than his fair share of the miko’s tears.
"So far," the miko replied with a shrug. "It hasn’t been that long. He's not a bad guy, Shippo. He's sweet and caring, protective and.nice." Kagome trailed off, unsure of how to convince her adopted son that the male she chose to be with was acceptable. Inuyasha hadn’t always made the best impression on Shippo.
“Are you happy?” the kit asked after she had been silent for a while.
“Yes,” Kagome answered without a moment’s hesitation.
“Then I’m okay with it, so long as he makes you happy.”
Tears welled up in the miko’s eyes at her child’s acceptance of the man she chose. She hadn’t known it would mean so much to her, but it did, and she gave him a watery smile.
“Thank you, Shippo.”
“That doesn’t mean it isn’t going to be weird,” he told her with a laugh.
“No, it’s definitely going to be weird. I have no idea what to say to the others, or how they’ll react.”
“You gonna tell them?” Shippo asked, digging into his toiletry bag for his toothbrush.
Kagome grinned. “No, I was thinking of just letting them figure it out,” she said while applying toothpaste to her own brush and watching him do the same. “I’m not ready to deal with Miroku’s inappropriateness, and Sango’s questions. Inuyasha is dying for them to know. I think it’ll be pretty obvious soon.”
Insecurity crept into the kit’s eyes as a thought struck him. “You’ll still be my mama, right? You’ll still have time for me?”
“Of course I will kiddo! I’ll always have time for you. Even when you’re all grown up, you’ll still be my baby. I promise. Things will just be a little different now.”
Shippo relaxed as the love in her eyes washed away his fears. She would always be his mama, and if she was with Inuyasha, then maybe she was planning on staying in the past. She had to be or she wouldn’t bother. He always feared she would eventually return to her era for good, but if she mated the hanyou, she could never leave them. Of course, if the fool broke her heart again, she might, so the little kit was determined to be as supportive as possible, while making sure Inuyasha behaved himself. His mama deserved to be happy.
