I do not own Inuyasha or its characters.
Glorious
Summary: The water sparkled in the night, but her eyes were drawn to the silver mane that glistened in the dying light and the pale body standing at the water's edge...
Kagome woke to the darkness; the others slept, Kirara curled at Sango's side, Shippo huddled next to Miroku a few feet away. Shippo usually slept with her, but her fitful dreams must have driven him from her side to Miroku's. Kagome glanced around the campsite searching for Inuyasha; his aura was faint, off to the right and further into the forest.
Sliding out of her sleeping bag, Kagome slipped out of the fire's light and into the darkness. Why was he out alone? Was something bothering him? She was pulled from her thoughts by the sound of running water. Her face flushed, her body heated, and in the silence she thanked the kami that the wind was blowing toward her, carrying her scent away from the half demon.
The water sparkled in the night, but her eyes were drawn to the silver mane that glistened in the dying light and the pale body standing at the water's edge. Inuyasha was handsome in all ways, but tonight, beneath the darkened sky, he was glorious. Naked as the day he was born, he stood silent, his back facing her as he readied himself for a bath in the spring.
He didn't notice her in the shadows, her gaze caressing every ridge of his muscled body - his calves, his thighs, and up to the glorious flesh of his backside nearly hidden beneath the curtain of his hair. In the blink of an eye he was gone, his body sliding seamlessly into the water, disappearing from her sight.
Breathing deep and turning slowly, Kagome made her way back to camp, one thought circling her mind as she slid into her blanket; the moon was beautiful, she thought, her eyes caressing its surface, but Inuyasha's was the most glorious full moon she'd ever seen.

Anywho-- I haven't forgotten the new chapter for Deserted. It has been lined out and started, but I have been limited on my writing due to my health. As if the issue of my brain not sitting where it should(it's trying to share space with my spinal cord... but said spinal cord isn't willing to share said space, lol), then it's the cold aggrivating the other issues, compounding an already complicated situation... thus resulting in pain, pain, and... you guessed it, more pain, lol.
The constant weather changes around here are determined to kill me! The temperature has gone from 75 to 40 degrees in the span of a few hours. It's been one bout of intense pain after another, and I swear if it doesn't warm up soon, I'm going to move some place where the temperature stays eighty degrees or more year round.
Anyway, enough of that. =) Now, I am off to work on Deserted ( *after* I start a fire in the fireplace, of course). :)
