A/N: This one wouldn't leave my head at all today and I had to get it down on my computer. It isn't as good as Rain or In The Dark but even I myself have to admit that I liked the slimmer of cuteness that I wrote. Tell me what you think please. By the way, if anyone likes this, I suggest you read kittykritic's Blessings and Curses. I say this only because she was the one who originally inspired me to continue writing these pieces. Plus, the story is damn good. Also, you should probably check out another author; midnight87's Love Conquers All one-shot was really good, so once again, a couple suggestions.

Always on Time
Bare and cold skin touched the floor; durable yet creaking, beautiful yet dark. Each step she took sent pulse-waves of sound rushing throughout the room, bouncing like rubber on marble, eventually finding its way out of dark and depressing room. Moonlight was the only thing illuminating their world; their flames and fires extinguished for the evening, for their purpose. Even so far away, Kagome could hear his shallow breathing; smell the putrid scent he was giving off; the situation shattering her bold spirit, the breaks causing small whimpers to escape from her throat. Kagome loathed doing this, even for him; still she loved him and so it was a task she must complete.
Like a snake slithering towards its victim, her fears bent and twisted her once proud countenance; her smile draining from her face with each and every step. Kagome's arm buckled, her hand shooting to her chest, giving her false hope as she attempted to steady her heart. Her eyes held so much emotion; pain, fear, worry and longing. Those darkened and sorrowful eyes watched every corner they could see, waiting and searching for her hope to appear before her eyes, only to dash hack away her desire as she continued alone to the wooden cage that imprisoned him.
Where was her hero; where was the one who had stained her heart with his own blood, who had sullied the world with their own creation, who had invaded her dreams with his ears? Where was the man Kagome had known; the one to be there when she needed something as ridiculous as fish or something as beautiful as a kiss? Where was her savior; where was Inuyasha? For so long she had relied on him, for so long he had babied her; shrouded her in his protection, shielding her from the toils of the muscles and letting her focus on the toils of the heart and mind. She begged and pleaded, whimpered and whispered; prayed for him, for her Inuyasha, to save her from this. Carefully retrieving him from the unfeeling wooden cage, Kagome began her mental countdown.
She placed the final lure on her hook; a single tear that fell from her handsome face, sliding down with great fervor, landing in a splash upon though floor as though a million of her tears had fallen in that very spot. Indeed, perhaps a million or more times had she baited him this way, raised him from his slumber and from his nirvana filled with her image and taste. Her smile was still lost; washed away by the single tear that had swept up the peace of slumber Inuyasha had enjoyed. Even as she was pulled into Heaven's light, encircled by the soft and warm flesh that pulled her deep and far into her own nirvana, Kagome made quite sure to keep the motives hidden; even if it meant staying silent through the sense-numbing "torture" of his licks.
Inuyasha understood in a heartbeat as he gazed upon Kagome's weary and sad expression, taking the koinu out of her arms, undoing the cloth folds and changing their son; completely oblivious and unaware as Kagome inched backwards. Slowly, as though it were running through molasses, her smile returned, curling at the ends with joy and triumph as if she had just bagged the greatest award in the history of eternity. She would reward him later as she always did; once the moonlight had been expelled from the sky, the sun bathing the world in warmth and union, and once the fires and flames of desire and passion could be reignited in the house without worry of the koinu's safety; that was when she would reward him in whatever expression of love he chose. Kagome didn't care; it was enough for her to know that something between them, aside from their abundant and limitless love for each other, would never change. She would always be his damsel in distress.
And Inuyasha would always be right on timeā¦
End Notes: Despite what anyone else may say: I loved this one. It may suck but this one is my second favorite after Rain. Anyway, reviews or flames would be nice. If you don't, an add as a favorite or alert would be cool. And if you just didn't either understand or just don't feel like reviewing, that's fine too.
