Part 10

Within about two weeks, Kagome had another visit to the hospital, where the doctor said she made a surprisingly fast recovery. There were just a few small bruises here and there, but the fractures were healed for the most part. The only steps next, was about a week of physical therapy exercises, plus one more checkup before getting the all clear. InuYasha and Kagome were anxious now to get things back to normal and return to the Feudal Era. As part of her exercises, Kagome had certain stretches to make every day, like yoga, and a short run to make. Every evening InuYasha joined Kagome for these short runs and after the all clear from the doctor, they felt like they could leave soon. Kagome however was enjoying her bed and wanted to stay an extra night. Kagome enjoyed the short runs she took, so her and InuYasha had one more, before returning to her room for the night.

After working up a sweat, Kagome took her shower and changed into pajamas. After some convincing, she got InuYasha to go take a bath as well. While waiting for InuYasha to finish his bath however, Kagome found her mind wandering into places she didn't expect. Again. This has been frequent, other than the dreams it was becoming more awkward when she thought about the kiss that her and Koga shared, and how her dreams kept turning it into encounters with InuYasha. Kagome covered her blushing face, not believing that her mind went straight to InuYasha being in the shower.

"I should be ashamed of myself. I can't call Miroku a pervert anymore with my dirty mind."

Kagome sighed and stuffed her face into her pillow.

"What is wrong with me?"

She groaned and laid there wondering why things seemed so different now. Kagome didn't hear InuYasha enter the room and he noticed her with her face in her pillow. He heard her groan and was confused.

"What are you doing?"

Kagome jumped up, face still red and what she saw almost gave her a nose bleed. InuYasha just HAD to be comfortable enough to walk in with no shirt on and she couldn't hold in her reaction.

"Hey! Put a shirt on!"

Kagome threw her pillow at him and hid her face behind her blanket. But it was honestly too late, with the image of his dripping hair, wet chest and abs already burned into her memory. She couldn't help but to think to herself that her brain just got more power to use in her dreams now.

"Ok ok geez! You act like I walked in here naked or something. You've seen my stomach before."

InuYasha put his white shirt on but left it open. He tossed Kagome's pillow back at her, bopping her with it. She looked up and still had trouble keeping her eyes to herself.

"So what has been bothering you lately? You've been acting weird with your face going red almost every day. You look like you are feverish, but the doctor literally just said you were ok."

InuYasha sat down on the edge of Kagome's bed, waiting for an answer.

"It's nothing. I've just been getting tired is all."

Kagome knew she was a bad liar and was hoping that InuYasha wouldn't call her out on it. She was now trying her hardest not to look at him. For some reason this moment, right now, was just overwhelming. InuYasha then did exactly what Kagome was hoping he wouldn't.

"You are such a bad liar. Come on and talk to me."

InuYasha crawled on the bed closer to Kagome and got right in her face. The sudden eye contact made Kagome's face even redder.

"I'm not lying! And don't get so close."

Kagome made it obvious now that something was wrong and InuYasha was determined to find out what it was. Kagome tried to scooch back from InuYasha, but she was already backed up to her own head board. Backed into a corner, she got an idea.

"My period! I'm on my period and when someone gets close it makes things weird!"

Kagome managed those words out and covered her face. She felt bad for lying but the butterflies in her stomach were making her dizzy and she had to get some distance. InuYasha seemed to buy the excuse, although he looked dissatisfied. Kagome had told him before about how periods work, but he was sure that she had hers just before the injury and remembered that she probably shouldn't have hers again just yet. He decided to drop the topic since he was getting tired and just lied down on the bed next to Kagome.

"Alright whatever you say. But seriously if something is wrong I would rather you tell me. I'm not going to leave you alone again remember?"

InuYasha laid on his side looking at Kagome again, and she managed to smile a little and look back.

"I know. And thank you."

Kagome got under the covers and fluffed her pillow before lying down and she looked over at her room lamp, which was a small light source, but kept the room at a comfortable dim. She preferred it over complete darkness, so that she could see if she woke up in the middle of the night. She rolled over first away from InuYasha, but her curiosity made her turn towards him. She wasn't surprised to see that he was already asleep, breathing softly. She couldn't help but to stare at how handsome he was, that feeling again of wanting to get closer. Some part of her wanted to touch him, hold onto him and never let go. But there was another feeling, something new that has been creeping into her dreams. Some kind of need that she cannot explain, and this feeling felt almost dangerous. She closed her eyes so she could sleep, and it wasn't long before her dreams crept their way in, with this feeling.

Her dream this time, had her in the forest by herself. At first she felt afraid, for she was alone and in fear of the darkness. What could not be seen was frightening, but she felt relief when she saw InuYasha walk from behind the trees. She immediately ran up to him and suddenly the atmosphere changed. The air felt warm, almost humid, making her clothes stick to her skin. As she noticed herself beginning to sweat, InuYasha reached an arm around her waist, pulling her close to him. She could feel the heat from his body, which was so close, only the clothing they had separating them. Almost instantly when she reached up to touch his chest, his shirt was gone and so was hers. Instead of feeling embarrassed, she felt relieved when their skin was touching. InuYasha ran his fingers up her back, under her bra straps and his mouth was on hers. She let this feeling take her, leaving them in an embrace that left her wanting more. She finally awoke, when InuYasha was kissing her neck and bit her gently.

Kagome was now awake, in a complete sweat and panting. This longing she had been feeling was so strong at this moment it was pure agony. She felt like if she moved, especially her thighs and in her groin, that she would tremble down to her bones. Trying to catch her breathe and clear her head, she felt InuYasha's palm touch her forehead. She opened her eyes to see him in front of her, looking at her carefully.

"I felt you wake up and you feel like you have a fever. Are you ok? Do I need to get you something?"

Kagome took in the entire picture in front of her, of InuYasha, his face close to hers again, with his shirt open, revealing his chest. She felt her body begin moving on its own and she couldn't help but to touch his abs. InuYasha pulled his hand back confused but before he could say anything, Kagome stood on her knees, pushing his chest down and straddled him. InuYasha's face became very red and his eyes were alarmed.

"Kagome!?"

Kagome silenced him by putting her lips to his, kissing gently at first, but then with more hunger, letting her tongue enter his mouth. InuYasha didn't struggle and relaxed his body. When their lips separated, he was the one panting this time and Kagome began coming to her senses, realizing the position she was in. She gasped and quickly got off him, her body still hot and almost tingly from touching him.

"Oh no! I'm so sorry! I couldn't stop myself!"

Kagome covered her face with her hands, the dream still fresh in her mind. InuYasha sat up, with mixed feelings of his own and reached out to touch Kagome on the shoulder. He put his arm around her instead and pulled her closer in an embrace. She looked up at him to see something different in his eyes. InuYasha had an expression of nervousness, but with a longing of his own, one that made him be the one to bring his lips to Kagome's this time. They stayed this way kissing for a few moments and when they separated again they made eye contact. This feeling Kagome had before was stronger than ever and she felt herself wanting to be closer somehow. She could almost imagine the feeling if InuYasha would touch her body, in different places. She took his hand into hers and put it on her stomach, under her shirt. InuYasha seemed hesitant at first, but let Kagome move his hand on her stomach and up to her breasts, which did not have a bra to cover them. He gasped gently when he felt them and the urges they both had grew stronger. Feeling it would be easier, Kagome puller her shirt off, revealing herself topless to InuYasha, who blushed and looked away. Kagome put her hands on his face, making him look back at her before pulling him to her to kiss again. While kissing this time, InuYasha held Kagome's breasts and gently felt them, taking in their softness. Kagome couldn't help but to moan through the kiss, making InuYasha himself groan with need. He pulled away from the kiss and put his mouth to one of Kagome's breasts, still holding the other in his hand. She gasped from the feeling and couldn't help but to arch her back. Although it felt good, Kagome felt like she needed more. She grabbed InuYasha's hand from her breast and put it on her thigh, still too shy to move her hand exactly where she wanted it. InuYasha took the hint, and slowly moved him hand into Kagome's pajama bottoms and into her underwear. When he touched her in that one spot, it sent her body into a shudder, one that made her moan again. To make it easier, InuYasha stood up and removed Kagome's pajama bottoms and underwear, revealing her fully naked in front of him. It was now that he removed his own pants and climbed back into bed, but on top of Kagome this time. They kissed again, and Kagome could feel InuYasha's entire body touching hers, skin on skin and almost sizzling to the touch. She gasped when she could feel another part of him, which was dangerously close to where he had touched her before. He looked into her eyes and asked Kagome about what was to come next.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Kagome was nervous, but she didn't want to resist. She nodded and confirmed by answering.

"Yes."

InuYasha kissed her again and it was during this kissed that he eased his way inside of her body. Both of them moaned as they broke their kiss, with it being the first time for them both. Moving slowly and gently, InuYasha thrusted over and over and it did not take long for them to climax. When they did, they both lied on the bed next to each other, panting. Also blushing, they looked over at each other and couldn't help but to give out a nervous laugh. They held each other and dozed off, with some hours still until daylight.
