I do not own InuYasha or any of the characters created by Rumiko Takahashi
Some Things Can Wait
Kagome lay there, watching how InuYasha's eyes, a dark heavy gold in his want glittered in the lamplight as he hovered over her.
"Woman," he said, before he lowered his head to lightly brush his lips across hers.
She could feel his heat, the warm radiating off his chest as he covered her, and how it ignited her own heat. She let a hand slide from his hip to slip under his silver hair.
Suddenly he rolled over to the side and sighed. "Damn."
Frowning, Kagome leaned up on one elbow. "Something the matter?"
"Don't you have a ritual to do at the shrine tomorrow?" He tried to hide his pout, but couldn't.
"So?" she asked, unconcerned, as she ran her fingers across his abdomen, circling his navel.
He grabbed his hand. "I thought we weren't supposed to do this before you go up to the shrine."
She rolled on top of him. "Only if I'm leading the rite. But I'm not. Tameo's going to be the priest." She leaned over him and kissed him hard. "All I have to do is make sure I take a bath first."
His hands slid up her back, pulling a moan from her mouth. "Uh, I think I need to fill the tub back up. You used it for laundry, remember?"
She ground herself against him. "It'll wait. Some other things won't."
"If you say so," he said, giving in. "You know best."
Later, as he stubbed his toe hauling water from the stream in the dark, he wondered if she really did. But, feeling more content than injured, he decided it was worth it anyway.
