Kagome flew off the covers, hopped out of bed and went into the bathroom to wash her face. She didn't want Inuyasha to know how much being near him was bothering her. He certainly didn't seem to be having any problems being around her.
Inuyasha was going crazy. He was lying on the couch, but sleep was the farthest thing from his mind. He placed a hand on his forehead, in thought. I've been waiting so long for this moment. I've dreamed of this. Just to see her again and be near her. Here she was, in his bed no less, while he's out here trying not to pull his hair out. There were so many things he wanted to explain to her. Things that she just didn't understand.
Three times he talked himself out of going into his bedroom. He got up, drank some water, put in another movie, even went outside onto his doorstep and watched the rainfall. Nothing helped.
He was worried if he went into that bedroom…he wouldn't be able to keep his hands off her. It's been so long since he held her…he just wanted to hold her. He saw the bedroom light come on, heard some muffled sounds. Maybe I'm not the only one having difficulty sleeping. He actually felt a little better knowing this. He heard the sound of the bathroom door. To hell with it! I can't take this shit a second longer, he thought. He walked over to the bedroom door, but before he could open it, Kagome did. She looked just as surprised to see him standing there, as he was to see her. Kagome looked up at him with sad eyes, and his heart broke. She was breathing quickly, like she was trying to catch her breath.
Inuyasha gazed down at her, trying to read her face. She could tell by the concerned look in his eyes that he knew something was wrong. Kagome took some deep breaths to keep her tears at bay. For some ridiculous reason, she wanted him to see her as a stronger person than the one he remembered. Strong enough to demand that he take her home now. She didn't feel very strong at the moment.
They both just stood there staring at each other. Wanting to talk yet not knowing where in the world to start. Nothing either of them said could alter one iota of the past. Unable to hold back the tears anymore, she turned around to hide her face. Damn. She felt his hands on her arms.
"No Inuyasha," She stepped away from him. In between hiccups of tears she was able to utter, " I…w-want …you…to-t-take me h-home."
Kagome had no idea how much the sight of her crying killed him. He didn't have to ask her what was wrong. He already knew.
"Kagome…baby." He sighed and ran his hands threw his hair. He approached her again, and before she could turn away again, he held her wrist and turned her to him. She turned her head away refusing to look at him.
"Kagome, there's some things I have to tell you"
"No! I don't want to hear it Inuyasha. Don't you get it?" Kagome was yelling now but was beyond the point of caring. "There's nothing you can say to change the fact that you lied to me and you left me." She looked at him straight in the eye. "You…Left…Me! And of all people…for her! I hate you! Take me home Inuyasha!" She tried to break free from his grip but he was much stronger than her. Unable to free her hands, she started pounding his chest with her fist.
He understood, that after all this time, she was finally letting it out. Kagome couldn't possibly make him feel worse than he already did. He wrapped his arms tightly around her, sealing Kagome to his chest to keep her from hitting him. Her movements eventually stopped and he relaxed his hold on her. He just stood there and held her, allowing her to cry into his chest.
Kagome grabbed onto his shirt. As pitiful as she felt, she just couldn't hold back anymore. She wanted to get away from him...yet needed him to hold her. She needed his strength. She just needed...him. His hands were soothing as he ran it through her hair, rubbing her back. He kept whispering soothing words into her ears.
"I'm sorry baby. I'm so very sorry. I never meant to hurt you. You mean the world to me...always will. I'm just so sorry."
After her tears subsided, he pushed back a little to look down at her. She stared up at him, and he detected uncertainty within her eyes. He held her chin with his hands, and placed a kiss on each cheek, then her nose, eyelids, forehead...and looking into her eyes...kissed her gently on the lips. Placing his hands on her waist, he pulled her gently against him. He wanted to feel her softness...he needed to.
Feeling no resistance, he took things a little further and sucked gently on her bottom lip, knowing how much she liked it when he did that. Inuyasha only intended to give her a simple kiss, but he was finding it harder to contain himself. Her hands wrapped around his neck and it felt like his body was burning for her.
Oh...My...Goodness. This feels soooo good. Kagome didn't know what to do. She should be angry...shouldn't even let him touch her...but she couldn't move. Her entire body felt like little bolts of electricity was going through it. Damn this boy can do wonders with his tongue. She couldn't stop. She wanted more. Their tongues were now mating the way their bodies desired to. She pressed up against him wanting to get closer. Her hands, now restless, roamed his well-shaped chest, arms and back. She ran her fingers through his hair, releasing it from its holder.
Inuyasha moaned into her mouth, his breathing now heavy. Those little movements she was doing with her body was beginning to be too much for him. He should stop this like now, before things went way too far.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome whispered. The look in her eyes letting him know what it was she wanted. . Looking gently into her eyes, he asked, "Are you sure?" It was very obvious, in a lot of ways, what he wanted.
Biting her bottom lip, she nodded a little shyly.
That was all he needed. Picking her up into his arms, he kissed her and headed towards the bed. His Kagome called...and he answered.
