A/N: Just a drabble series, don't expect too much with this one except I couldn't get it out of my head.
Every day he would imagine walking up the same steps. Every day he would imagine passing by the same trees and the same gate and every day he would get an odd feeling in his stomach from being away from the odd little two-story home. The old God-tree still stood stationed a few feet away calling to his nostalgic side as he reminisced on his days as a stray shinma; and the many battles he picked with a certain demon lord he came to trust as a friend. He could chuckle at the memory but chose to suppress it as he looked up and locked his gaze on a raven haired young woman standing a few feet away from an old shed. She was just as lovely as ever, her petite form dressed in the traditional miko garbs he had missed and her hair tied back; a few pieces framing her heart shaped face as she hummed to herself.
"I wonder how he is" She thought absent mindedly before wiping some sweat off her brow and turning. A smile painted on her porcelain face as long lashes swept across rosy cheeks, he wished then and there to see her open them as he cleared his throat and made his presence known. Blue the color of the ocean was there to greet him as her luscious pink lips curled into an even bigger grin. "Lava-sama!" She called out happily before dropping her broom and running towards him, he caught her with ease and swung her around momentarily before opting to hold her close as he bent his head down to the crook of her neck and inhaled her scent.
"Kagome." His lips seemed to move on their own as she wrapped her lithe arms around him. "I've missed you."
"You were gone so long, I was so worried." She replied softly, her smile faltering a bit as she pulled away and cupped his face in her hands. She rubbed a thumb across his cheek before moving some stray pieces of hair from his face and letting out a sigh as he placed his large hand over hers.
"I told you, I will always return to you." He was satisfied when her smile returned; relishing the feeling of her close to him as she lead him inside.
"How was it this time? You guys hunt down any strays lately?" She made light of the conversation as she prepared some tea; A spoon of sugar and a drop of lime, just the way he liked it.
"Garline returned here to take me back west." He could feel the quickening of her heartbeat as she turned to look at him, she tried to hide her woe by clearing her voice and finishing the preparations but the shakiness in her movements told him otherwise.
"Well, I'm glad he didn't. We should be thankful you're still here." She smiled a little bit but decided on hiding her emotions behind the cup as he stirred the hot contents inside his own.
"Kagome…." She trembled at the sound of his voice but gave up and looked at him, a glossiness painting the surface of her blues as she took a swift intake of breath and smiled.
"I know, I know….but you can't blame me for being uneasy." He felt his lips curve into a small smile as she stood up and walked over to him, he opened himself up for her to take a seat.
"I know koi." He replied as she snuggled close to him, the ribbon keeping her long hair together forgotten on the floor as it surrounded them like a blanket.
"Tell me, does she know?" His body froze at the question confirming her fears as she let out a sigh and moved to stand up.
"In time, just be patient for me." He stated suddenly as his grip tightened around her.
"That's how I've always been, for almost six hundred years that's all I've ever been. What choice do I have?" He knew she was growing weary, tired even of having to always play second to someone else. But until the pact between him and the vampire princess was through he couldn't leave her. A blood bond was a strong bond and if he hadn't of made the promise he did perhaps Kagome and him would have already been together by now.
"I thank you, for….always being there." The sun was about to set and he could already feel the vampire calling to him as he made a move to take his leave.
"Your things are on the couch, I'll see you when I see you." She stated sadly before looking up at him and leaving a chaste kiss on his cheek. "Come back to me"
"Always." And with that he left her with a promise far stronger than the one he was forced into with the princess.
A/N: To save you guys the confusion Kagome met Lava back during her feudal era days and they fell in love; however under grueling circumstances he falls in to the blood bond with Miyu when he returns to Japan after heading back West, after all he is a 'stray shinma'. Any who he finds her while wandering around town when Miyu's in school and they continue their guilty romance. She's waited for him all this time and there you have it. Oh, Miyu doesn't know he leaves to go see Kagome and neither does Shiina; I made this story because I watched the anime and noticed there was only like one story on the crossover. Besides, you guys know how much I loveeeee to experiment with Kagome and some hot guy from another series.
