--The Same Air--
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. Her eyes closed, her head was pillowed on his strong shoulder. The hanyou smiled proudly- he could tell that she felt safe with him. It felt... good... right to have her there. She wasn't asleep- he could tell that much- but today had been long, and he knew that she was tired. Absently, she turned her faced into the sleeve of his haori, almost... was she nuzzling his arm? Inuyasha wasn't sure whether to laugh or smile- but he was glad she could relax.
Shifting to get comfortable, Kagome's head lolled over so that her mouth was barely an inch from his own. Inuyasha froze- and decided to go with it. She smelled so good... her breath kept fanning into his face, until they were breathing the same air. Closing his eyes, he put his head down on hers. Just tonight...
