Patients is a Virtue
Summary: He came at me so fast, I didn't even have time to flinch. His long clawed fingers gripped my neck and slammed me against the wall. "What d-do you want?" I choked out. His hostile stare made it hard for me to look at him. He whispered, "You're flesh."
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha?" I said in a low voice. He hmm'ed into my throat before kissing it. "I think I'm ready." I said, a smile forming on my face. He stiffend and pulled away from me and stared at me in shock.
"Ready for what? To have sex?" he asked incredulously. I only giggled and bit my lip. A hopeful smile crossed his face only seconds later. He leaned in a bit closer to whisper: "Now?"
"I am ready, but Souta is only in the other room." I giggled again as he pouted adorably. I kissed his nose and he snapped his teeth at me playfully. "How about when Souta leaves, and Sesshomaru isn't here to listen?"
"Good idea. But I still want to do it now." he admitted. I rolled my eyes.
"I do too, in all honesty." I whispered a minutes after he snuggled back into my neck. He kissed me again, his hand rubbing my hips again. It felt so nice, like a massage. I closed my eyes and drifted.
"I love you." I whispered. I wasn't sure if he replied. I was already asleep.

Three days later
"I'm so happy you guys have a place to stay now." I smiled appreciatively. My mom hugged Souta tighter to her chest.
"Thank you." she smiled the same way I did, I got my good looks from her, of course. Inuyasha agreed, but said I was much cuter... She slipped a bill in my hand and looked expectantly into my eyes.
"Mom, I told you you don't have to pay me for watching him. He's my brother."
"I know, but I don't think I can thank you enough so you just use that to get yourself something nice... or useful... like gas."
"Thanks..." I awkwardly slipped the bill into my bra. Inuyasha appeared then with the rest of Souta's bags. They spent the whole morning packing. He scrambled past the rest of us without saying anything. He was just smiling hugely. Probably at the fact that carrying heavy luggage was effortless for him. He tossed them into the open trunk of Gramps's car and slammed it shut.
"All set." he jogged up to us.
"Thank you." My mom smiled sweetly at him. He bowed to her and Gramps and turned to Souta.
"Hopefully we'll get to hang out again, Souta. You're pretty cool for a kid." he smiled at him. Souta rolled his eyes but grinned back. He held his hand up and Inuyasha high-fived him.
"You're cool too." he said.
"Take care, you two. We'll be back when the house is repaired... which should take about a month." Gramps said. He paused as if he were determining whether or not to say something. We all leaned in a bit to listen. "Juno, remember to wear protection if you ever decide to mate with my grand baby. And if she isn't willing, she doesn't have to—"
"All right, Gramps, that's enough." I started to push him toward the car. "Bye. Call me whenever. I'll be on vacation next week."
"Bye." they all said and hopped in the tiny car and drove away. Inuyasha and I kept waving until they were out of site. We went back in the house and closed the door.
"Finally." Inuyasha yawned and stretched his arms above his head. I looked at him and shook my head. He stopped and smiled at me, instantly crushing me again him. He kissed my cheek quickly and pressed his face into my hair. "Alone at last."
"I know." I said, kissing his neck and wrapping my arms around him.
"I think I know what you want to do." he chuckled. I nodded. He kissed my hair. "I don't think now's the best time though. I want it to be perfect, your first time. I want it to be everything."
"Me too. So when...?" I pulled away to look at him. "When will it be perfect?"
"We'll know. Believe me, we'll know."
"Was it perfect the night in the shower? The first time?"
"Well, that would've been perfect if Souta wasn't here." he smiled. "I heard wet sex is fun, though I've never actually done it."
"So you and Kikyo just did the standard way?"
"I was only on top all the time because she was terrible. And I'm not just saying that because I hate her, either." he smiled widely. Despite the talk of his former sex partner, I laughed, hearing that she didn't satisfy him enough.
"The look on you face tells me you think you have competition." he said. He knew me well. "Lucky for you, she's not competition, even inexperienced people could probably do better than her. And she's dead. Don't worry about it. Other women haven't caught my eye since I met you." he smiled. He kissed my forehead and threw me on the couch.
"But we're alone now." I pouted, sitting up right. He plopped down next to me, looking me very seriously in the eyes.
"It won't be perfect just because it's a good time to do it."
"Isn't the time what you were talking about when you said perfect?" I asked, raising a brow.
"Well, I was certainly talking about that, but now's not the time. And other things have to me perfect besides the time like the location, moment in time, the amount of passion between us in the moment."
"Now isn't passionate enough?" I pulled a face while I straddled him. He groaned and hugged my tightly to him.
"It's certainly passionate, but you're too turned, in all honesty. Not that it's a bad thing. You smell really good when you're turned on. But then again, you always smell amazing. I want it to be more about passion than need, you know?"
"You're only thinking about how perfect you want it to be." I couldn't help but smile. "That's very sweet of you but... What do you mean I smell good when I'm turned on?"
He smiled widely then his eyes flashed downward for a split second. My eyes widened in understanding. "You can smell my...?" I couldn't finish.
"Mhm. It's mouthwatering, and the way you're sitting on me doesn't exactly help with my self-control." he rubbed my thighs. "But I can handle it... some how. It takes a lot of self-control to resist you." he winked. And until he said that, I didn't really notice his stiffy underneath me. I righted myself on the couch so I was cuddled into his side.
"Thank you," he laughed. "That was very brave of you."
"I just want you to get your self-control back." I muttered sarcastically.
He lightly held my chin, pulling my face to look at him. "I want you so bad, but now's not exactly the most romantic moment. I want to wait. We're only in our twenties, Kagome... we got time. I just want it to be special for you. And doing it right after your family was here sounds a little awkward."
"I can't argue with you there," I laughed.
"We'll make love soon, don't you worry about it. I don't mean to sound like a pervert, but I'm almost always thinking about it. I don't think of it as hard-core porn, though. I think of it as slow but forceful and passionate."
I was picturing it too and it sounded very pleasant... passionate.
"Since we're not having sex... what do you want to do?" he asked. I shrugged.
"You decide."
"I didn't hurt your feelings, did I?" he sounded worried. I shook my head. "I want you, but I want everything to be perfect when we do it. You're so special to me, and your first time deserves to be very special for you."
"I'm okay." I smiled up at him. He could see that I was telling the truth and smiled at me then pecked me quickly.
"A walk in the park sounds appealing right now." he said. "It's a little cold out, but it's sunny and it's gonna warm up around one..." he looked at me as if he were trying to read my mind. After a quiet moment he spoke again. "Unless you want to do something else."
"No, a walk in the park sounds fun... romantic too." I agreed with and enthusiastic smile. He smiled back and stood up.
"I'll get out jackets."

It was a bit chilly out, but very nice, as Inuyasha said. We drove to a local park in Tokyo, close to a large pond. We just strolled around the pond a couple times, talking casually, holding hands, of course. He stopped us every now and the to kiss me. It was nice, especially with a couple other women eyeing him like candy then eyeing me with obvious jealousy. There weren't too many kids around, either.
I couldn't remember the last time I came here. Maybe it was last year, when I was stressed about getting a job, before I applied for the asylum. The park was a place to find good peace, anyway. There was the pond, and a small jungle gym for kids. And three swing sets. A fountain, a couple benches and picnic tables. The large area was surrounded by a thin forest.
Inuyasha pulled me to the swings and sat me down. He started pushing my lightly.
"I like it here," he said. "We should come here more often."
"Mmm." I smiled in agreement.
"Can we come here every weekend?" he asked softly, pushing me a little softer.
"Sure, if you want. I like it here too." I smiled up to the sky. And old couple came to sit at the bench, appraising me and Inuyasha for a moment before going into conversation.
I no longer felt Inuyasha's hands pushing me in the swing. I looked behind me, only to jump when he sat on the swing at my right. He smiled and shook his head. He took my hand in his, and for the first time I noticed how tiny my hand was compared to his. My fingertips stopped halfway up his second knuckle. I smiled lightly. He was studying our hands as if he were thinking the same thing. Suddenly my little hand was lost in his fist. He squeezed it lightly before allowing me to twine my fingers with his. He smiled and pulled his hand away to stand.
"What are you- Eeep!" I squealed as he lifted me to sit on my swing with me cradled against him like a child. He laughed at my face and pushed my hair behind my shoulders to get a better look at my face. He sighed, staring at me with a strange look in his eyes. I looked away, blushing, wondering why he stared at me that way.
"You're turning pink." he chuckled. I nodded. "Why?"
"Because you're staring at me..." I shot back.
"Well, you're so beautiful. I can't help myself." He smiled lovingly.
"Thanks." I could barely hear my own voice. "As much as I like it here, I want to go home now." I said. He sighed and smiled to himself.
"Are you impatient?" he raised a brow.
"What do you mean?" I frowned in confusion. He shook his head, laughing.
"You're so cute, and the way you act is even cuter." he winked.
"Why, thank you but I still don't know what you're getting at."
"I'll explain in the car." he smiled. He stood, still carrying me against him. He set me down when we got to the car, opening the door for me. I watched him jog around to the other side of the car. I stared at him questioningly while he righted himself with his seat belt. He looked at me, his eyes widened, and he laughed.
"What now?" I demanded.
He kept laughing so I had to consentrate to understand. "It's just, I'm trying to get myself organized for the ride home... I look at you... and you're staring at me with them big-ass dark eyes of yours."
"That's funny?" I asked, getting impatient. "What did you mean at the park when you said I was impatient?"
"Well, when you said you wanted to go home, I honestly thought you were talking about bringing up sex again." he said in all seriousness. "The though of you, so little and innocent rushing to have sex is very ironic and strangely adorable. I love seeing you like that."
"I wasn't gonna bring up sex!" I was embarrassed beyond belief. "I just want some alone time. That's all." I smiled.
"That's all you had to say. Though the phrase alone time often refers to sex. But now I know that it's not what you meant, I'm sorry I got the wrong impression." he smiled somewhat innocently. I rolled my eyes and started the car. I noticed he was giving me a strange look out of the corner of my eye. I looked at him and I was right.
"What?"
"Are we showering together again?" he smiled slowly, already knowing my answer. I wasn't afraid of inviting his eyes to my body anymore. And it wasn't like he dead-on stared at me anyway. We washed up, then we fooled around... though not in the sense that both of us wanted to. Since he was all of a sudden hooked on making my first time perfect, there was no point in trying to be seductive.
My thoughts began to travel down another path.
When would the time be perfect?
My mom in a can.
Hope you enjoyed. This is the part of the story that centers around their relationship. But believe me, more conflict shall come in the future. I told you guys I'd have this up in about three weeks. I could've had this up two days ago but when I was trying to upload it, it kept saying the website has errors or something... I don't know. At least it's up now. Hope you enjoyed it. :)
Also, a lot of you asked about the new Inuyasha season. You can watch it online, but it's only in Japanese and so far, I couldn't find any with subtitles. As far as it airing in America, I'm sure it is, but I don't know when. My friend told me that it was showing October 3rd, but I searched on my DirecTV and couldn't find any new ones, either. Maybe they're gonna show the new ones after adult swim gets to episode 167? I'm not sure. If I get any further information on that, I'll let you guys know in the next thing I post.
