Chapter 4: Their Wonderful Lives
"Kikyo, come on the water is fine!" Inuyasha called from the shallow waters of Lover's Lake.
Kikyo was sitting on the edge of the bank reading a book about certain herbs and medicines. She looked up at the mention of her name. On this particular day she had her hair pulled back into a bun to reduce the heat of the day.
Right now she was gazing at Inuyasha. He was her knight in shining armour, her amorous companion. He was attractive to her, especially right now when he didn't have his shirt on. His stomach was well compacted and masculine. She put down her book and joined Inuyasha in the water.
The water was revitalizing and warm. The water felt good as Kikyo waded through it to get to her virile lover. He was dipping his head under the water to cool off. When he popped his head up out of the water Kikyo was standing by his side.
"Oh, Kikyo, so you decided to join me? I'm glad. It was not any fun without you." He smiled clandestinely. A frolicsome gleam entered his eye. Kikyo caught this gleam and wandered what he was about to do. She soon found out. He cupped his hands underneath the water and brought his hands up. SPLASH.
Kikyo was splashed with water. She splashed Inuyasha back. Soon they were both laughing and having fun. Inuyasha missed most of the time because whenever he put his hands under the water to splash, Kikyo would dive under.
Inuyasha didn't care about that. Like all men, demon or not, Inuyasha had urges. He loved to see Kikyo in this wet shirt of hers. He found her attractive. He would never tell her this, of course, incase it would offend her. Even though, he felt attracted he had fun. The day wore on. Soon it was noon and the sun was directly above them. Now, Kikyo was golden. The sun gave her the appearance of an angel, a mystical elf.
When Kikyo and Inuyasha tired of playing in the water, they went to Inuyasha's cave to dry off. Once in the cave, Inuyasha built a small fire to dry them off. When the fire was burning really good, Inuyasha pulled out a sack. He delved his hand into the sack and he pulled out four fish. He had not only played in the water, somehow he had found time to catch fish.
Kikyo looked at the fish and Inuyasha. "Inuyasha," she said seductively, "I will be right back." She stood and exicted the cave. What she said was true, she did come right back. She was carrying some herbs (that she had read about in her herb book) in her hand. These herbs were soon applied to the fish. Soon wonderful aromas filled the tiny cave. Inuyasha and Kikyo talked until the fish was done.
"I really had fun today, Inuyasha." Kikyo said as they munched away happily on their fish.
"I did too Kikyo. I am so glad that you are in my life now." He smiled gently.
Soon they were done eating their fish. They sat in silence around the fire. The flames crackled merrily, casting dancing shadows on the cave wall. Inuyasha moved closer to Kikyo and put his arm around her. She leaned on him.
"Kikyo, have you ever thought about what will happen when we get older? I mean will we ever live together?"
Kikyo looked at him, sadness filled her eyes. "Inuyasha, you know we can never live together. I am going to be married."
"Well, let's make the most of our time together." Inuyasha said. An insatiate gleam came into Kikyo's eyes.
"I would like that Inuyasha." She wrapped her hands around him. They began to kiss. Their love for each other had reached an all time high. That night became a night of love making and an escape from all of their worries. It gave them a break before the wedding day came.
