I do not own Inuyasha, or its characters. Rumiko Takahashi does. This drabble was written for, and posted to, ib4y on lj for their prompt 'Truth'.
Undeniable
Summary: Kagome comes to a sudden realization.
Kagome woke suddenly, heart racing, face flushed. Deciding a distraction from the dream that woke her would be the best way to forget about it, she pulled herself from her sleeping bag and quickly made her way out of camp.
Trekking up the hillside as quietly as possible, Kagome let the darkness soothe her frazzled nerves. It wasn't often that she dreamt, far less often that she could recall the dream so vividly.
The darkness before dawn was peaceful; leaves fluttered softly on the tree branches, and stars twinkled high overhead. Crickets sang in the distance, and Kagome found herself lost in the images her mind had conjured up. Letting her mind wonder back to the dream, she envisioned the hanyou as he'd appeared in her subconscious.
Inuyasha was bare chested, skin and eyes glistening in the moonlight as he moved over her.
The intensity of his gaze was arousing, heart stopping even, and Kagome found herself drowning in the twin pools of golden perfection that caressed her with a possessiveness that was all-consuming.
Words failed to form as his face hovered briefly over hers, his lips whispering her name before claiming hers in a kiss that scattered her sanity. Common sense warned that she was dreaming, even as her body screamed for completion. Her heart swelled near-to-bursting, and in a sudden moment of clarity, Kagome realized that she was in love! It was in that profound realization that she woke.
Standing alone on the hillside, wildflowers ghosting over the skin of her calves, Kagome watched the coming dawn light the morning sky, the beauty of the moment surreal in its intensity. There was no use denying what her heart wanted. And the truth was, she didn't want to. She was in love… irrevocably and undeniably in love with Inuyasha.
I am sorry I haven't replied to reviews- I haven't been getting notices, and only barely found them, lol. But thank you- everyone. It made my week!
Now for the bad news :(
Updates will be slower than usual (is that even possible?), even for the small pieces I've tried to put out weekly.
I had to have a new MRI done (this morning). I've been asked to consider a second brain surgery
and/or cervical nerve burning, thus the necessity for an updated MRI. The doc was kind enough to let me view the images, and
while I am no physician, I do know that the images definitely show some issues that will likely need to be addressed.
I'll know more by mid to end of the week, so for now I'll try not to stress. Just know that regardless of what happens in the days and weeks to come,
I won't be giving up my writing. E.V.E.R. You guys make me smile, lol. I enjoy that more than you know. Besides; I am a greedy, greedy person-
I'll take all the smiles I can get right now.
*hugs*
