Kagome woke up to the sun shining on her face, protectively wrapped in her blanket and the arms of her love. She adored the feeling of his rough, strong arms cradling her body. She could tell by the way he held her that he valued her and cared for her deeply. There was nothing in the world that could make her doubt him.

As she gently stirred, Inuyasha began to awaken as well. 'She's so warm.' He thought as he wondered how he'd gone from being so lonely and hurt to being so happy. He loved the way her soft, warm skin felt when she was close and how her hair had draped over his face when he slept. It was so silky. Everything about her body, every follicle of her was absolute perfection. He kissed her forehead and inhaled the sweet scent of her hair.

She slowly moved out of his grasp and kissed his cheek. "Happy Birthday!" She said with a loving smile. "I'm gonna take a bath and make breakfast for us. You can rest for a bit longer if you'd like."

He nodded with a smile and drifted back to sleep. Knowing he had Kagome, he was able to rest peacefully for a change.


Inuyasha had woken up again a bit later to the scent of food and the scent of Kagome's lotion. He screamed when he noticed she was only in underwear and turned away.

"What's wrong?" She asked as she ran up to him.

"Y-you're not wearing clothes. I didn't want to look and upset you." He said with his eyes covered and his face flushed red.

Kagome laughed at how cute Inuyasha was being. "Inuyasha, this is my bathing suit. It's hot today and I washed up in the lake so I'm keeping this on." She explained, pulling his hands off his eyes. "It's okay for you to look. I actually wore this to the beach two summers ago."

Inuyasha slowly looked up at her pink and green bikini that exposed more of her skin than that partially revealing night gown she wore last night. His eyes were only two pieces of fabric away from seeing her most sacred body parts. He just wanted to tear away that bikini with his claws because felt like he was getting closer and closer to seeing it all. 'I think she's teasing me on purpose.' He considered, with an eyebrow raised.

Kagome rushed back to her bag to take out the gift she had gotten for Inuyasha. "Here you are! Happy birthday."

Inuyasha tore away the gold wrapping and inside it found a black shirt, blue and white boxers and a pair of jeans along with a note.

'Happy Birthday. I'll do everything I can to make sure this is the best birthday of your life and I'll keep doing so as long as I live. Love, Kagome.'

He smiled wide as he read the note and gave Kagome a sweet kiss to thank her. He didn't care that it was his birthday. He couldn't even remember the last time anyone had gotten him anything. Kagome had already done more than enough for him and every moment he had a reason to love her more.

"There's one more thing! Close your eyes."

Inuyasha closed his eyes as Kagome put something around his neck. He opened his eyes and looked down to see a hand made beaded necklace. The white beads spelled out "BFFL" with blue and red beads surrounding it.

"That was the gift I had made you when we were younger." She said, laughing at herself. "I know it's kind of stupid now but-"

Inuyasha cut off her words by pulling her in for a kiss. Kagome felt all the adrenaline pumping in her body from the surprise kiss and the feeling was invigorating.

He slowly pulled his lips away from hers "It's not stupid." He assured her, speaking softly onto her lips, close enough to be drawn in for another kiss. He looked down at the necklace. 'She must have spent a lot of time on this.'

Kagome was blushing furiously watching how he admired the little craft project she did for him. "Go try the clothes on while I serve breakfast." She suggested, going off to get their food ready.

Inuyasha nodded and leapt behind the tree to try them on.

Soon after, he returned wearing the black shirt and only the boxers as he sat down to eat his food.

Kagome got a good look at pantless Inuyasha. She didn't mind if he just wanted to hang out in his boxers but he was kind of hanging out and she could see a big bulge in his underwear. "Uh...What about the jeans?" she asked.

"Not enough room." He said nonchalantly, with his mouth stuffed.

"Room?" Kagome thought for a second and practically turned red at the thought. "Ohh. Roooom. I get it. Sorry. I'll exchange them for you tomorrow."

They ate in silence exchanging happy smiles as Inuyasha kept staring at her body in the bikini.

"What is it?" Kagome asked curiously, feeling a little nervous about the way he looked at her.

"Why don't you just come out naked next time?" He responded with a perverted look on his face. "I feel like you're teasing me on purpose."

Kagome's entire face flushed as she covered her eyes and giggled. "Inuyasha, you're so bad, cut it out!"

"What? I haven't done anything yet!" He said as he pulled Kagome into his arms. Inuyasha kissed her neck and she let out a gasp, squirming around in his grasp until her bikini top began to come loose. Kagome noticed and tried to stop it from falling down.

"Leave it." He whispered onto her neck gently planting kisses up to her ear.

Kagome was attracted to Inuyasha in every which way. Spiritually, mentally, emotionally and even sexually. What regular guy would have eyes like his, or hair like his or even an amazing body like his? He was perfect to her and she liked the way he made her feel.

"Can I tell you a secret?" He spoke gently directly into her ear as though the secret belonged to her.

"W-What is it?" She asked softly, trembling slightly from the feeling of his body heat and the tingle going down her spine from when he spoke so soft in her ear.
