lostmoonchild: My first attempt at an Inuyasha story since I'm practicing for a story that doesn't have a name yet. Let me know what you think! I don't own Inuyasha in any way except I do own this story.

CHAPTER ONE

Waiting.

Kagome sat patiently staring out her window watching as the wind gently blew the leaves that had fallen from the God Tree. The moon's light lit up the ground giving everything an almost haunted look but she didn't care. Her eyes were watching one thing, searching for a certain hanyou that would come like he had been doing for the past few weeks.

-----flashback-----

The summer's heat seemed to be keeping her awake, making it impossible for Kagome to get comfortable. Souta was staying the night at a friend's house and her mother and grandfather were at her sick aunt's house leaving her all alone in the house. Sometimes, she felt all alone simply because she knew deep down that as time passed she didn't belong in her era but she knew that she didn't belong in the Feudal Era.

A tear rolled down her face as she got up to get a glass of water. She felt so helpless and hated herself for not knowing where she belonged. Deep down she knew where she belonged but she wasn't willing to sacrifice the chance to be happy. If she chose her era, she would lose her friends forever since she knew that she may not ever be able to return. But if she chose the Feudal Era, she would only have to wish to be a hanyou and wait 500 years until she was at home.

She shook her head and checked the doors and windows, not wanting to risk somebody breaking in. When she was satisfied that the doors and windows were locked, she headed back upstairs to find a certain hanyou sitting on her bed looking at her with golden eyes. "Kagome..." Inuyasha whispered standing up.

Kagome set her glass of water down on her desk and smiled a little, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Inuyasha.. I knew you'd come." Kagome whispered walking to Inuyasha.

A soft gasp escaped her lips as Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and held her near him. "Kagome, I want to ask you something." Inuyasha whispered.

----end flashback----

A smile spread across Kagome's face as she remembered everything they had done that night. For the first time in three years, nothing seemed to matter. They didn't have to worry about Naraku, finding the Jewel Shards, or about anything else. All that seemed to exist was the pleasure they were bringing to each other.

"You're aroused, bitch." Inuyasha's voice said.

Kagome jumped and spun around only to find herself staring into golden eyes. "I was waiting." Kagome said lightly kissing Inuyasha. "I was actually thinking about going to bed if you weren't here in an hour."

"I'm here now." Inuyasha said using his claws to cut Kagome's pajamas off her body.

"That's not fair. You're still dressed... I'm not." Kagome pouted starting to rid Inuyasha of his shirt.

Inuyasha grinned a silly grin he saved for her eyes only when they were aloneand ripped his clothes off. "That better?" Inuyasha asked gently pinning Kagome against her bed and gently rubbing his manhood against her thigh.

Kagome gasped and nodded, gently kissing Inuyasha like there was no tomorrow. "Inu, we're going to have to tell my mother sometime..." Kagome whispered lightly licking Inuyasha's neck in submission.

"Not yet." Inuyasha groaned lowering his head and lightly nipping at Kagome's breasts.

No matter how many times they made love, Kagome was always amazed at how gentle Inuyasha could be. Sometimes in the Feudal Era, they would sneak off and have their fun. Neither of them thought that their friends suspected anything since they managed to keep up their normal arguements during the day and tell eachother they didn't mean it at night simply by using their bodies.

A small moan escaped Kagome's lips as Inuyasha carefully put himself into Kagome's opening. He had already taken her virginity a few weeks ago but he was a hanyou and she was human, he didn't want to end up hurting her by being too rough. "I've decided..." Kagome gasped quietly as Inuyasha pounded into her.

"Decided what?" Inuyasha asked stopping and growling softly when Kagome moved so she was on top.

Kagome licked Inuyasha's neck again and said softly as she adjusted herself so Inuyasha was in her again, "On what I want to wish for when we collect all the Shikon Jewel shards."

"And what would that be?" Inuyasha asked thrusting upwards causing Kagome to arch slightly.

"To be a hanyou." Kagome whispered. "An inu-hanyou to be exact."

It was as if he had just gotten cold water dumped on him. Inuyasha pushed Kagome off of him and stared at her in surprise. "Kagome, you don't want to be. You'll be looked down for the rest of your life!" Inuyasha said.

"Inuyasha, I want to be one. I don't want you to be alone." Kagome whispered.

"I'll wish to be human..." Inuyasha said but fell silent when Kagome put a finger up to his lips.

"No, I love you the way you are and I want to be with you for as long as we live. I don't want to die and leave you alone." Kagome murmured gently kissing Inuyasha again.

Inuyasha nodded and grew aroused again as Kagome got on her hands and knees, smiling at him softly in a welcoming manner. Inuyasha grinned and started pounding into her once more, collapsing when they both reached their climax or in Kagome's case, climaxes, a few hours later. "I gotta get back before somebody notices I'm gone." Inuyasha said not bothering to get up.

"Hmm." Kagome moaned a little shifting so she could use Inuyasha's chest as a pillow. "Stay with me for a while?"

"Until you fall asleep." Inuyasha said closing his eyes.

Kagome nodded knowing that Inuyasha would sleep until just before dawn when he would get up and get dressed. Before he left, he always kissed her on the head and whispered to her how much he loved her and how he thought that the Kamis were smiling down on him the day that she freed him from the tree.

A smile spread across Kagome's face as she realized something. They were lovers by night and friends by day but no matter what, he always made her do one thing.

Wait and anticipate the next night. And that was one thing she was always willing to do.

lostmoonchild: there we go! I know Inuyasha is probably a little out of character but have you ever noticed that when its just him and Kagome, he acts more gentle? That could be just me but I think he acts more gentle around Kagome only so I earlier I thought to myself, "What if a fanfiction was wrote about Inuyasha's soft side with Kagome?" and figured that I need something to keep me awake for half an hour. I'm pretty sure this doesn't count as a lemon but it falls somewhere between lemon and lime. Read and review!
