A/N: Hey everyone! Thanks for reading so far! Special thanks to M0nster for the review! I love hearing from my readers! Okay, so back to the story!
Inuyasha sat in the sun, watching Miroku and Sango work as a team to hang the laundry. He often watched them together, wondering if this was the way he and Kagome would have lived, had they been mated. He focused on Sango and dreamily changed her into Kagome and pretended he was watching her hang his laundry. He pictured Kagome's thick black hair and cute little skirt. His daydream was interrupted when Miroku and Sango's twin daughters hopped on top of him and started playing with his ears.
"Doggy! Doggy!" the girls were saying, while pulling his ears. Inuyasha growled to Miroku to do something and then, suddenly, Inuyasha froze. Could it be? Inuyasha's mind raced, It has to be! Inuyasha's blood froze for a second, and then rushed with intensity the next. He leapt up and gave the twins to Shippo and sprinted toward the well. It's Kagome's scent! It's her! I know it! He thought as he ran, I would know that sweet smell anywhere!
He stopped at the well's edge and reached down, hardly able to believe what was happening. Then he felt it.
Kagome's hand.
He pulled her up and looked straight into those beautiful chocolate eyes, not even breathing. For a moment, all he could do was stare. He just…couldn't believe it.
"Inuyasha," Kagome said while those eyes of hers filled with tears, "I'm sorry. Were you waiting for me?"
Yes! Every single day! His heart screamed.
"You idiot," he scoffed while embracing her soft frame, "What have you been up to?" He was too busy enjoying the feel of her and the smell of her to notice that the others had joined them.
"Kagome, it's been a while!" Miroku called. Sango and Shippo called to her as well. Kagome broke away from Inuyasha, smiling.
"I'm back!" she said.
Later that night, Kagome and Inuyasha said goodnight to Sango and Miroku as the couple headed back to their home with sleepy children in tow. Shippo was pulled away and put to bed by Keade and Rin. Kagome stood silently, not sure of where to go.
"Come on," Inuyasha said softly as he took her hand and guided her to the forest. They approached the sacred tree and Inuyasha took her in his arms and leapt to the top branches. He positioned Kagome on his lap and lay back against the sturdy trunk.
"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered. She wrapped both arms around his neck and touched her nose against his. Inuyasha's arms tightened around her waist and his eyes looked deeply into hers. For a moment they just held each other and breathed each other's breath, not daring to break eye contact. Then Kagome's eyelids fluttered as her heart sped and Inuyasha took advantage of the moment by setting his mouth against hers. Kagome responded, sweetly, and a little whimper escaped her throat. Inuyasha breathed deep through his nose, blissfully enjoying Kagome's mouth against his and her sweet scent. Kagome's hands made their way into his thick hair and she held his head firmly as Inuyasha returned the sentiment by running his hands through her locks. He placed both hands on each side of her face and broke away from her lips to blurt, "Kagome, I never forgot you. I loved you when you left, and I still love you now. I want you to stay with me, and be my mated wife," he took a deep breath and spoke slower, "I love you, Kagome." Kagome smiled. She looked into Inuyasha's eyes and smiled even wider. Inuyasha smiled nervously. Kagome giggled and rubbed noses with Inuyasha.
"What?" Inuyasha said, chuckling.
"Of course I love you, too! Why do you think I came back, silly?" Kagome said against his lips. Inuyasha seized her and pushed her backwards to lay atop her so she was pinned with her back to the branch. Inuyasha grinned as she squirmed beneath him. She saw his face and stopped, saying, "You're too fast!" Inuyasha laughed.
"You just figure that out, wench?" He leant in close to her face say the rest against her lips, "You're dumber than I thought." Kagome laughed, and was too eager to kiss him again to come up with a retort. They smashed their lips together much harder this time, and Inuyasha crushed Kagome's body against his. The kiss was deepened when Inuyasha parted Kagome's lips and delved into her mouth with his tongue, demanding her submission. Kagome melted beneath him and her breath began to come quickly, as her heart galloped at top speed. Her hands clutched him tightly and her body pressed against his. Her head swam with so much pent up desire for Inuyasha. She couldn't believe she had spent three torturous years away from him and now, finally, here she was with him. Kagome submitted to Inuyasha's passionate kisses and wrapped her legs around his waist, lovingly. Inuyasha's hand went to her thigh and slid up under her skirt and pressed her hips against his as a growl rumbled in his throat. Inuyasha's head was spinning. If someone had asked him this morning what he would be up to tonight, he never in a million years would have answered this. His heart was so full of love and joy, it almost brought tears to his eyes. Kagome was even better than he remembered. She smelled better, she felt better, and gods, she was turning him on. He couldn't get enough of her.
Presently, Kagome was fiercely clutching him and she pushed her head upwards, gaining domination for a moment. Inuyasha quickly responded, forcing her head back down easily as he regained control. His hand under her skirt squeezed her bottom and Kagome yelped against his mouth and then moaned as he pressed firmer still against her. They were both feeling hot and heavy now; their hands were vigorously feeling each other's bodies and their mouths were working at double force and speeds. They had a natural rhythm with each other, and being intimate was as normal as breathing was to them. Inuyasha wanted more, he wanted to kiss and feel all of her body. He had waited 3 years for this moment, and hell if it wasn't worth it. He began kissing her down her neck, almost dizzy from the wonderful scent of her hair and body. Kagome made soft moans and whimpers as he worked on her, and shortly, Inuyasha was clawing at her shirt. When that was gone, they sat up and Kagome removed her own bra as Inuyasha quickly took off his haori and undershirt. Before coming together, Inuyasha took a long look at Kagome's perfect chest. He had seen it by accident before, but that was over 3 years ago and from a distance. Now, she wasn't even a foot away from him and her breasts were more glorious than could be imagined.
"What's the matter?" Kagome said, looking shy.
"You're…" Inuyasha swallowed, "You're the most beautiful thing…I've ever seen." He could barely catch his breath. Kagome touched his face, and kissed him tenderly. Inuyasha returned the soft kiss and wrapped both arms around her back, loving the feel of her bare skin against his chest and those soft breasts of hers squishing against his body. As can be expected, their kiss intensified and Inuyasha wanted his hands on her chest. He was tentative, but after hearing Kagome's soft moan of pleasure, he really started massaging. He kissed down her neck and collarbone and finally came to her breasts and kissed them all over, taking his time on each one. Kagome ran her fingers through his hair and gasped as he took one of her nipples into his mouth.
"Inuyasha," Kagome moaned between gasps, "Inuyasha….how do we…I'm ready…"
"Hmmm?" Inuyasha murmured against her breast.
"Inu…yasha…" Kagome panted, "Please!" Inuyasha paused and brought his face up to hers. He noticed the deep flush across her cheeks and smelled her scent which had taken on a new degree of sweetness.
"You want to mate?" Inuyasha said. Kagome nodded and began kissing his neck as he had done hers. "Don't have to ask me twice," Inuyasha said as he held her and gently rocked her back so she was lying beneath him again and he slipped off the remainder of their clothes while she continued kissing his neck. He positioned himself between her thighs and said, "You ready, Kagome?"
"I don't know what to do," Kagome whispered.
"Don't worry, I will show you," Inuyasha murmured, "All you have to do is know that I love you, and I'll always protect you, until I die."
"I love you, too," Kagome said as they kissed and came together in the most passionate way known to every species on earth.
A/N: Hey readers! Yeah, I know it got kind lemony there toward the end, I couldn't help it! Let me know if you want me to write what happens next that night (ie: a sex scene) or if you would prefer I just skipped on to the next morning.
