Chapter 16, Part I - Reprieve
And so a month, and then another, passed by for the Duke and Duchess of Windshire at Windshire Castle. They knew it won't be too long before the king summoned them back to the palace, but they were content for the moment and didn't want their peaceful bliss to end.
The two months they spent together was a revelation for them both. Kagome found that under Inuyasha's ducal mien there was a bit of the devil inside him. Her husband had a mischievous streak, and was very, very naughty. She couldn't seem to stop the blush that covered her cheeks everytime she thought of the decadent things they've done together. Not that she was complaining, mind. It's just that she couldn't help but think of other married couples and if they also did those kind of 'things'. Probably not, though. She was probably the only one who had the most lewd of husbands.
It was also becoming alarmingly clear to Kagome that she was liking her husband too much. It was so very hard not to, with the things she kept discovering about him and the way he doted on her. She was years younger than he was, and at times she knew she could be brash, impudent and impulsive all at the same time. Totally impossible, to her way of thinking. But her husband just took it all in stride, never losing his patience with her. Except of course, on one ocassion...
~Flashback~
Kagome looked at her still-sleeping husband's face, knowing he was probably going to sleep in late today. They usually woke together in the mornings and it became a ritual for them to ride in the sunrise after they've eaten their breakfast. But yesterday Inuyasha had been a very busy man. From the moment they returned from their ride he was off performing his ducal duties about the estate. She wanted to help, but he was having none of that. He laughingly said she'd probably drive him to distraction rather than help his cause were she to go with him. So he kissed her passionately on the lips, and whispered seductively in her ear. He promised to make it up to her later for abandoning her, turning Kagome's cheeks into red as she imagined how he would make it up to her. Before she could kiss him again, he was gone in a flash.
She didn't get to see her husband again until dinner. It was quite obvious to Kagome that Inuyasha was tired to the bone, and she took pity on him and said to the staff that they would be retiring early for the night. Inuyasha flashed her a grateful smile, and after dinner each one of them went to their respective rooms. She didn't expect her husband to visit her that night, knowing how actually tired he was, and she was contemplating worriedly on how she was going to go to sleep without Inuyasha there to hold her (they've been sleeping together ever since that first night on his castle, Inuyasha always holding her close as they slept) and she sighed, knowing she had to get used to sleeping alone for this probably won't be the last time she was going to do it. Her husband was a duke, for the love of God, and had many duties to attend to; he can't always put her at the top of his list. Still, Kagome's irrational mind still wished she had her husband's attention all to herself.
She had just resigned herself to her fate (that of sleeping without her husband) and was trying unsuccessfully to sleep when she felt muscular arms scoop her into an embrace. Kagome's eyes fluttered open in an instant, turning around to face her husband with awe.
"You didn't think I'd let you sleep alone, did you?"
He was smiling at her, and in her happiness, she kissed him before she could stop herself. He kissed her back, and after disposing of her nightgown, Inuyasha proceeded to 'make it up' to her.
Several times, in fact.
Kagome smiled as she returned to the present, still looking at her husband's impossibly handsome face.
'God, how I love this man,'
As Kagome realized what she just admitted to herself, she drew back abruptly, almost tumbling from the bed in her haste.
Where did that come from? What in God's name was wrong with her? She wasn't even supposed to LIKE the man, for God's sake!
Kagome fought the urge to scream and stomp her foot like a child with a temper tantrum. Instead, she slipped from the bed ever so quietly so as not to disturb her still-sleeping husband and dressed as fast and as silently as she could. She tiptoed out of the room, her emotions in turmoil. She needed to get away, needed some time alone with herself to think things through. With no definite destination on her mind, she almost flew out of the castle doors in her haste.
Her subconscious brought her straight to the stables. The stable master, James, greeted her with a smile.
"Good morning, Your Grace. I've already saddled Tempest["
Kagome waved the stable master aside and proceeded to strip her favorite mare of the saddle poor James had just finished putting on her. The stable master was gaping at his mistress in surprise.
"But Your Grace["
