All that Time Allows
By Mishi
Chapter 8
It�s No Secret

It
felt odd being back in his time, because of the modern clothes. At least he
wasn�t wearing the shoes. That was the one thing that he knew he would never
get use to. He didn�t see the necessity of wearing shoes. He really hoped that
he would not be given any reason to fight while he was dressed like this. His
Tetsusaiga wouldn�t hang on his body right in these clothes. He wondered how
much the clothes would slow him down if he needed to draw it. He was almost
tempted to give up and carry the sword in his hand.

The
village seemed peaceful enough this morning. Everyone was busy doing their work
to notice him walking up to the path. Entering the village was another thing
entirely. He had never had the girls looking at him like this before. Did the
clothes and clean hair really make that much of a difference? Once again he
realized how special Kagome had to be to notice him the way he was.

�Inuyasha!� Shippo yelled joyfully. The
moment that Inuyasha entered the hut the kitsune was
in his arms. �Where is Kagome?�

�She
is resting in her world,� he turned his gaze up to see everyone. They were
looking at him with strange looks on there faces, �She will be fine. The damage
was not as bad as it looked.�

�How
could that be?� Sango was amazed, �we all thought we were going to loose her.�

�Something
healed her. I can�t explain it. She wasn�t in any danger of dying from what
they told me.�

Kaede looked at him for a long uncomfortable moment
then mumbled, �Youkai�?�

�What?� Inuyasha asked
hesitantly.

�Could
you have wanted her to live so badly that you were able to will your youkai
blood to heal her?� She asked. �Your aura is different. It looks softer and
more controlled.�

�There is something different about you,� Miroku
insisted.

�Sex
has done good things for your appearance, Inuyasha,� Kaede said glancing to the pot that was over the fire and
then back up at him.

Inuyasha flinched and turned red. �We have not had sex, hag!�
He snapped.

�Well,
you have done something close enough. I can tell by the way you stand. Your
stance is of a man who is sure of himself.� She stood up to get a closer look
at him, �Kagome always has to fight to make you see any good in yourself. I
would have to say that sex would be the only way to get it into your stubborn
head.�

He swallowed hard. He looked down and past Shippo to
focus on the floor, �What would you know?�

�That you would never believe she loved you without
it.�

�We
found the shards after you left,� Miroku spoke up trying to get his friend out
of the corner he seemed to be trapped in. Although it might have been fun to
watch him fidget, Miroku still felt bad about peeking on him and Kagome.� He wanted to try to make this easier on him.
�The youkai must have been using them to keep him self from our sight. Your
strike must�ve hit him at some point and forced the shards out.� The monk
pointed to Kagome�s backpack, �I put them in the small jar that she keeps in
the front pocket.�

Inuyasha
had never been so glad to have Miroku around. �Good we might have to use them
soon,� Inuyasha said as he put Shippo down and walked
over to pick the picked it up.

�What do you mean?� Kaeda
asked with her one good eye opened wide.

�We
are going to have a wedding and we might try to use them to take you to
Kagome�s time.�

�Wedding?� Miroku was not familiar with the word.

�It
appears to be a ritual that involves everyone we know. She said she can�t be my
wife without it.�

�You
mean a bonding ritual? I have heard of such rituals, but I have not seen it. It
is a Shinto practice, not a Buddhist one.

Sango jumped to her feet and embraced him, �that is
wonderful Inuyasha!�

�Would that work?� Miroku wondered aloud.

�Huh?
Oh�we don�t know.� Inuyasha was caught off guard by Sango�s display of affection a. �We are going to try what
we can. Kaeda do you have any ideas about why Kagome
and I can pass through the well, but others can�t?�

��If Sango has the history of the jewel�s
origins correct, then it could have something to do with your intentions. The
souls that are battling inside the jewel might have more of a play in the use
of the shards then we think,� She looked at Sango.

�But
I was trying to escape and get to Kagome when I tried to use it,� Shippo spoke
up, �I didn�t intend anything bad.�

�Maybe
not, but it might not have been your decision to make. The Shikon no Tama might
have needed Kagome to return to Inuyasha on her own.�
�
��If the Miko� soul is till fighting inside
Shikon no Tama, she might work with us. Maybe using it in this way could purify
the shards that you have. It might make them impossible for Naraku, or any
other youkai, to manipulate them in the future,� Sango added.

�Feh,
I still don�t think the jewel has any control over anything we do,� He placed
the backpack on his back, �I am going back to Kagome.�

�Wait, Sango and I will walk with you back to the
well.� Miroku rose to his feet.

�You are talking for Sango now?� Inuyasha
asked with wide eyes.

Miroku
put his arm around her shoulders and looked at her with a small smile,
�Sometimes.� She returned his smile with a bit of red on her cheeks.

That
was all the explanation that Inuyasha needed. It was
nice to know that he wasn�t the only whipped puppy he knew.

****

The
walk back to the village was a quiet one for Sango and Miroku, but not an
awkward one. They had discovered long ago that they could walk together in
silence and be perfectly content to just be with each other.

Sango
was very impressed with how Miroku had been acting since they returned to the
village. �If he doesn�t act like a
pervert the remainder of the day, it will be a full two nights and two days
without being a pervert. The girls have even been trying, but he seems to be
ignoring them pretty well. I don�t think I like how they all keep looking at
me, though. If I didn�t know better, I would say that they are jealous of me,�
she smiled at the thought. �Wait, he
hasn�t even tried to put his hand on my butt. He must really be trying.�

She
didn�t realize that he was watching her. �I
wonder what could be making her smile like that? It is
nice to see it. Maybe I should ask Inuyasha about
this wedding ritual. She seemed to like the idea for Inuyasha
and Kagome. Maybe she would like it for herself. She�s not Buddhist after all.
She might have been raised with this kind of thing in mind.�

As
they entered the village Miroku noted another abandoned hut. He had noticed
three of them since they returned and was thinking about claiming one for him
self. They always returned to this village. Inuyasha
and Kagome would have to start thinking of some more private accommodations
after they returned. Traveling would make it difficult for a couple to be
alone, but not having a home to return too would make things intolerable.

He
had suddenly taken her hand, which made her stop as he did. �Miroku-sama?� She started blushing because she
thought that she was about to be attacked in front of everyone.�

�� There
are some abandoned huts in the village, and I was thinking that I might see if
we could fix one up for Inuyasha and Kagome. What do
you think, Sango?�

�I am so
stupid! He only wanted to talk to me.�

��That sounds like a good idea. I am sure they�d like
that.� She started to laugh which released the tension in her shoulders. She
was hoping that he wasn�t noticing how stupid she being.

His
eyes narrowed then, and he placed his hand on the side of her face, �Sango, did
you think that I was going to do something other then talk?�

�Miroku-sama, I��

That
was his que to slip his other arm around her waist.
�I thought you were going to call me Miroku now.� He was using that low voice
that made her knees turn to mush every time she heard it. The look in his eyes
matched the voice. �I could do something if it would make you happy.�

�Um, that�no! No, there are people watching us.� She forced herself to show some
willpower. She put her hands on his chest to keep his lips a safe distance from
hers.

�Are
you worried that you might make some of the girls jealous? They are already. We
could let them all know for sure that I�m yours.�

Her
mind went blank as his other arm found its way around her waist. Her arms did
not seem to have the strength at the moment to keep him back. He waited for her
reply before going any farther. He knew that her emotions were very fragile
even if her body wasn�t.� He was willing
to take his time, but he wanted to know how far she was willing to go.

When
she was able to think she took a step back. He took it to mean that she wasn�t
ready to move on, but she surprised him by removing the boomerang bone from her
back. Without a word her hands started to glide across is chest to his
shoulders and she moved in close to him. All the while their eyes never strayed
from each other�s gaze. He was shocked and he let it show on his face. However
he didn�t let that shock keep him from putting his arms around her.

He
bent in to kiss her, but stopped just before their lips could touch. His hair
brushed against her face as he whispered, �Are you sure you want this?�

She
answered him by closing the distance between them.

****
The
house was quiet as Inuyasha entered the sliding door.
Kagome and Mama were in Kagome�s room having a very serious conversation that
came to an end when he appeared in the doorway. He decided to stand there and
wait to be invited in.

�I
am glad you are back, Inuyasha, this involves you
too.� Mama waved at him to come over and set on the bed with Kagome. She got up
and pulled the chair away from Kagome�s desk. �I was telling Kagome that
Grandpa will consent to your marriage, but he wants it to happen right way. If
you can�t get married within the next two months, he will not allow it.�

�I don�t understand,� Inuyasha
looked back and forth between the two of them.

�He
wants to insure that you don�t get Kagome pregnant before you marry her.� She
stopped Kagome before she could protest it, �I know that you want to have sex
with each other. I was young and in love myself once. We just don�t want you to
have any problems before you can get married. I don�t mind so much, but Grandpa
worries about these things.� She looked at Kagome, �He has also made it clear
that you are not to return with Inuyasha to the
Feudal Era.�

�Does
he realize that we slept in the same bed last night? We would have a harder
time being alone back in my world?�

�Inuyasha, could we not inform him of your logic. Let him
have his old fashioned ways, so that you can be together. I don�t think that he
realizes that teenagers have more courage then they did when he was a boy.�

Inuyasha
set on the bed blinking his eyes. He was very confused, and didn�t know were to
begin with his questions.

�She found the towel on the floor this morning,�
Kagome informed him.

His face turned its usual shade of red. �I�m sorry if
we did something wrong.�

�Inuyasha, you don�t know why we have to have a wedding do
you? I know that you don�t understand it. Sex would be your commitment to my
daughter, but we do things differently in this time. We worry about how things
look to other people.�

�I�m
not good enough for her, am I?� he asked in a hushed voice.

�No,
Inuyasha, don�t take it that way. I�m proud to have
you as my son. I just mean that we make things more complicated then they
really need to be. If more people viewed sex as a commitment of marriage, we
would not have so many problems in this world.�

�We
should try to plan the wedding for the first night of the new moon,� Kagome
interrupted. Having the sex talk with her mother was not the most comfortable
thing in the world to her. The fact that she was talking to Inuyasha
about sex was absolutely horrifying!

�Why then?� Mama was puzzled by the significance of
the moon.

�Inuyasha is human on that
night. There would be less questions to deal with.�

�Human?� She looked at him, �you don�t always look
like this?�

�Once a month I am human,� grumbled as he rolled his
eyes.

She
put her hand over her mouth to hold back the laughter, but it was not use. She
had to let it out, �If you only understood the joke behind that.�

Inuyasha was not the only one staring at Mama. Kagome couldn�t
believe that she had found it so funny, �Mama!�

�Sorry
dear, but I couldn�t help myself.� She regaining her composure and continued,
�Ok, we will plan a party so that everyone can meet Inuyasha
this month for the new moon. Then the next new moon we will have the wedding.�
She looked at the small planner that she had brought with her. �Oh dear, we are
going to have to work fast. We have two weeks. I will start making phone calls
and work on our story. We will start shopping tomorrow.�

�Why
do I have to meet people?� He asked her. He was so lost and he was starting to
get really frustrated with it.

�It
would look odd if we didn�t introduce you to someone.�� She stood up to leave the room. �We will help
you with everything Inuyasha, don�t worry.�
