The Search Chapter 38

Land of Memories

InuYasha was still laughing softly as he and Kagome soared over the treetops before dawn the next morning. Kagome on the other hand was doing her best to resist the urge to kick her heels back as hard as she could into his thighs to make him stop laughing. She was trying to be a good sport, it was her own fault after all that Sango had let her have it, but InuYasha was supposed to be on her side wasn't he?

"Last week I went to see Master Mushin to resign my position. While we were there…WE got married!"

"You did WHAT?"

InuYasha let go of Miroku and whispered.

"Miroku you better grab Sango, jump of Kirara and Fly!"

Kagome stood in the doorway, her eyes all squinty and fiery.

"How could you!" Kagome stomped up to Miroku and began shaking her finger in his face.

"How could you get married without me there? Don't you care about my feelings at all? How selfish can you get?"

"Kagome, it's not that big a deal" InuYasha put his arm around her and rubbed her back, but she batted his arm away. That was when he knew she was really upset, not mad, but hurt.

"Fuck Miroku!" Miroku's mouth fell open, Kagome swearing? "What about Sango? How could you deny her the wedding she has dreamed about since she was a little girl?"

"Kagome…"Sango approached Kagome now, trying to take her arm.

"No Sango! Miroku doesn't realize how selfish he is! Look at him! He's laughing at me! How dare you!"

"Kagome…" Sango tried again

"No Sango, Miroku…"

"Kagome shut up!" Sango yelled right into Kagome's face "It wasn't Miroku's idea, it was mine!"

"It…what…but…"Kagome stammered

"I grew up as a yokai slayer; I never expected to get married so I never dreamed of any damned wedding! The wedding your mad about missing out on is the big wedding that YOU wanted to make me have. That's your style Kagome, not mine! Now get out of my husbands face and back off already!"

Kagome's face turned red and InuYasha was sure he saw smoke puffing out of her ears as she turned and stomped away, and then ran towards the well.

InuYasha started following her, but Sango cut him off and shook her head.

Sango felt guilt creep up her back as she turned the corner. She had been expecting round two, instead Kagome sat on her knees with her cheek resting on the side of the well, crying. Sango knelt in front of her and put her arms around her, she was stiff and unyielding at first, finally she let go and hugged Sango back.

"I just…" Kagome sat back wiping her face "Ever since that day with the salamander yokai, when you tried to kill Miroku I've been planning your wedding in my head. You know Sango; I've known you were going to marry Miroku since you turned down that lord what's-his-name. You guys have been through so much bad stuff, I just wanted you to have one day that was special."

"Houshi and I are going to have the rest of our lives Kagome. Considering how unlikely that seemed a year ago, I think that alone is pretty special don't you?"

"You're right, it is." Kagome smiled and then giggled

"What?" Sango smiled

"You still call Miroku Houshi."

Sango blushed and laughed

"I know, No matter how hard I try, I can not seem to remember to use his name! I can not help it!"

They both dissolved into giggles

After a few hours they came to the edge of the mountains and Kagome smiled, by now she had a pretty good idea of where they were headed. That didn't stop her from kicking her heels back into his thighs when he suddenly threw his head back and started laughing out loud for the fourth time.

"Sorry" He grinned "Can't help it."

"You could at least try" Kagome reached down and tickled his ribs "Or I could give you a real reason to laugh"

InuYasha growled at her. "Stop that or I'll drop you on your ass."

"You wouldn't dare." Kagome laughed, she stopped any way and wrapped her arms tightly around his shoulders. He kissed her quickly then was off. It was about forty-five minutes later when he stopped abruptly.

"Kagome"

"Hmm?" She had dozed off and now she looked around confused.

"See anything familiar?"

She smiled, her blue scarf was fluttering in the breeze where they had left it. Slowly she slid to her feet and InuYasha turned around and kissed her, then went to roll the boulder from the entrance of their cave.

-

"That was one fucking dead dried up tree." InuYasha grinned as he carried the last of pieces of Treezilla, their dearly departed Christmas tree, closer to the fire pit he and Miroku had so carefully built almost five months before.

They found the cave just as they had left it, even to InuYasha's pleasure a couple of cups of ramen they had left behind. The tree was now extremely dead and brown, InuYasha had moved the boulders, letting it fall on it's side, then slashed it into smaller sections to be made into fire wood. Kagome had insisted on saving what decorations she could. Most of the paper ones were salvageable, and of course the diamond shards, but the aluminum ones were ruined when the tree fell.

"Wonder where the star went? Did you see it?"

"Nope." InuYasha kind of lied, well, he hadn't actually seen it. Not since he'd handed it to Sango and asked her to hang onto it for safe keeping until Kagome's birthday.

"Must have gotten mangled really bad like the others." A lot of the aluminum ones had.

InuYasha stacked the moister inner wood close to the fire pit.

Kagome giggled, dangling a piece of diamond from the end of her finger "We should take these back to the future and sell them, there's got to be a couple thousands of dollars worth here."

InuYasha laughed, thinking of the people mover that he almost blasted out of the sky. "You could buy a hell of a lot of by-cikels with that I bet."

InuYasha plopped onto the ground next to her.

"What do I need one of those iron carts for when I have you?"

Kagome kissed him, making him blush the most adorable shade of pink

"Good point"

"Hey, do you think Totosai could grind one of these down and mount it on my fang ring?" The shard she held was about the size of a pea.

"I don't see why not,"

InuYasha snatched the one off her finger and looked at it. He smiled a little, remembering the night he and Miroku had snuck out and he'd made them. Kagome's reaction that morning was so worth every single second. He looked up at her and could almost hear her excited squeal again as she ran to the tree, then turned ran to him and jumped into his arms to kiss him. Later she'd given him the poem…

Kagome found InuYasha lying with his face to the wall. Timidly she sat on her knees facing him.

"InuYasha…I" her voice failed her as she began to cry again. "I thought you …I mean, that day when you yelled in front of Miroku I thought you were upset because I couldn't …"

Kagome was a total blubbering mess now, she couldn't stand to be there another second, she had to get out of that cavern away from him. Her heart couldn't possibly take more.

"InuYasha…I…didn't mean to upset you…I'm sorry…." she said it in a rush, then began to get up, but found her wrist caught in his hand.

"Fuckin baka," his voice sounded funny, like he was being strangled.

"InuYasha…what do you…I don't understand."

He let go of her wrist, letting his hand slide down to link their fingers. He sat up, his head bowed, face hidden behind hair.

"InuYasha?" Kagome reached her hand out, gently brushing the hair out of his eyes. His eyes were red and puffy; the scroll was still clutched tightly in his hand and quite soggy.

InuYasha put his arms around her, holding her heart against his.

"Can't you tell the difference between when someone is mad and when they are overcome Baka?"

He pulled away, lifting her face to his. "Kagome, no one has ever made me feel so cared about…so worth being cared about since my mother died. Kami, I don't deserve you…you deserve so much better than me"

"I don't want anyone but you. Ever InuYasha. You're everything I want."

She pulled his head down to her, kissing him softly. He sighed, laying back down and settling her against his chest.

Kagome sat up, grabbing her new fur mat and throwing it over them.

"Thank you for my mat InuYasha."

"You have to share it with me."

"Good."

"InuYasha?"

"Yeah?"

"Merry Christmas."

He scooted down so he could look into her eyes.

He brushed her hair back behind her ear, brushing his fingers over her cheek.

"Thanks for my poem. Merry Christmas Kagome."

He closed his eyes, then pulled her closer, sighing happily as his lips touched hers.

"InuYasha?"

He put his arms around her and pulled her closer. He whispered her words to her, words he didn't need to look at to say anymore because they were written in his heart.

"I'm sorry I can't say

What you wish to hear

When you are so close to me

When our hearts are near

If I could write music

I'd write the sweetest song

So you would know my dearest

It's nothing you've done wrong

What I feel is oh so real

I've felt it from the start

From the moment you awoke

And stole away my heart

I wrote these simple words

Not knowing what else to do

Please hold them in your precious heart

Until I say, I love you too…."

Kagome pulled back, surprised and delighted.

"You memorized it?"

"I had to, If I kept rolling and unrolling the scroll it was going to disintegrate."

Kagome smiled, extremely pleased with his answer. She rested her cheek on his shoulder.

"There's so many memories here."

"Good memories, mostly anyway."

"Never mind, you don't care anyway. YOU only care about dead fake women who try to kill you. Why don't you go, go to hell and fuck her since I'm sure that's what you want." InuYasha flinched at her words, feeling like she had just kicked him in the gut.

Kagome put her hand over her mouth, horrified at the look on InuYasha's face. How! How the hell could she have thrown Kikyo at him like that after all this time? Particularly considering the situation had been resolved months and months ago! And what she said. She was so ashamed of herself. So ashamed.

"Kutabare," InuYasha spat at her "Baka temee, Kutabare! Kikyo may have been dead, but at least she never led men on to get things from them like you do, flaunting yourself around half naked with what's his name in your time and probably kami knows who else. Eh? Fucking yariman."

Kagome shivered, that was one memory she could have lived without.

"Kami that was probably the worst fight we've ever had."

"What fight? I was talking about that nasty ass shit you made us eat on Christmas."

Kagome laughed and slapped his arm "Were not."

"Maybe not" He laughed "Considering how we were all cooped up all winter, that we only had that one fight is kind of a miracle… and everything turned out okay in the end."

"InuYasha…" she sobbed. "I need you…" Darkness surrounded her body, like the pain that surrounded her soul, and just like her soul there was no longer a light in the darkness to come to her rescue. That her own cruel tongue was at fault for her extinguished light only served to make her pain that much greater.

Her body shook as her sobs turned into violent wailing as she turned onto her stomach, forcing her face deep into her pillow.

Her wailing turned to fear when she felt arms reaching beneath her, gently turning her over, then fear turned to amazed shock when she felt cold lips brush over her cheek as she was pulled close. He picked her up, then carried her out into the cold night, wrapped in her sleeping bag.

"What are you doing?" Kagome was too shocked to remember to be mad.

"I'm taking you back to where you belong."

"My stuff…"

"I'll get it in the morning." InuYasha carried her back to the cavern he had claimed for her, setting her down in the alcove and sitting down next to her. Kagome felt like nails were being driven into her heart, suddenly back in this place of her shame, and she began to cry once again.

"Kagome, please don't cry anymore…" InuYasha whispered into her ear, his cheek touched hers; mixing his tears with hers, "I don't think I could it."

Kagome cried harder of course, pushing away from him "InuYasha…I shouldn't be here. I don't…I mean I left because…"

InuYasha reached down taking her hands

"I know why you left. Kagome, what I said to you was far worse."

"But …"

InuYasha pulled her against him again "Kikyo would understand. As for me, there is nothing to forgive, unless were talking about you forgiving me."

"What if I can't forgive myself?" Inuyasha loosened his grip and Kagome moved back.

"What?"

"InuYasha, I feel so sick about what I did, I don't think I can ever get past it." Kagome swiped at a new batch of tears on her cheeks, realizing as she said it that it was the truth.

InuYasha cupped her face in his hands "You just have to."

"But …." InuYasha cut her off in the most wonderful way possible, using his lips

"Do you ever just feel it? I know you do. How much we belong together?" InuYasha took her hand and laced their fingers together.

"I think I felt it from the first new moon we spent together, the first time you let your guard down with me InuYasha."

"Kagome, in the other room, why were you crying?"

"Because I thought I was going to lose you."

"You shed tears for me?"

"Uh huh"

"Kagome, could I lay my head in your lap?"

"Uh…okay."

"Hey Kagome, you smell kind of nice."

"Wait a minute, I thought you said you hated the way I smell."

"I did. But I lied."

"You've saved my ass that night. But you also saved my soul. You scared the shit out of me, the feelings that flooded me, they're always stronger when I am human but I had never felt anything like that before. That's why I had to pretend I had fallen asleep"

"You were faking?!"

InuYasha nodded, grinning sheepishly. "If I hadn't I'm not sure what I would have done and thanks to that fucking spiderhead I was in too damn much pain to have my face slammed into the ground a few dozen times."

Kagome giggled "Hey, there were a lot of times when I should have S worded you that I didn't. You have no idea how bad I wanted to when Myoga told us what was in that stuff you were making us drink after Mukotsu's poison."

"You would have sat me? Just for making you drink snake blood and all kinds of other yummy things that Myoga had just barfed up?" InuYasha teased

Kagome fake shivered "YES! I still have nightmares about that stuff."

InuYasha had stopped laughing.

"InuYasha? What is it?"

"I'd forgotten until you said nightmares just now."

"What?" Kagome sat up and looked at him

"I kept having them, for months after that. Sometimes I didn't make it at all and you all including Shippo and Kirara burned in the fire that Renkotsu set in the temple. Or Myoga didn't come and you all died from the poison, or you were saved and the others died, or the others were saved and you died. The worst though was the one where I killed myself and just before I died you revived"

"But InuYasha...you wouldnt have..."

"I might have, I thought about it. You, Miroku and Sango…the only people I cared about in the world were dead…or so I thought

"The nightmares just kept getting worse and the only thing I could think about was keeping you safe from those zombie bastards and Naraku. When I went down with Renkotsu I was, your not gonna believe this, but I was really grateful that you were with Koga."

"Koga?" Kagome laughed "You're right, I don't believe you."InuYasha laughed and shrugged.

"I always knew how much he cared about you Kagome, I always knew that if anything happened to me he would keep you safe or die trying. Then there you were on that riverbank, shedding tears for me again"

"InuYasha!"

Kagome flew against his chest, still clutching the red fire rat haori. Her face was flooded with tears.

"I'm so glad your not hurt, that your okay."

"Kagome"

"Are you really okay? I was worried"

"I'm sorry you were worried."

InuYasha put his arm around her and pulled her close

Kagome wiped away a tear. "You scared me, really, really scared me."

"Yeah? Well, I would have to say you did a pretty good job of getting even with me then."

"How?"

InuYasha lifted an eyebrow at her.

"Oh, yeah. But I never asked to be kidnapped by psycho baby and have my soul peeped on."

"Doesn't matter, you still scared me. Knowing it was my own fault, that I had let you fall into Naraku's trap because I was being selfish and you as usual were being selfless and sending me to search for Kikyo, the nightmares were bad for awhile. "

"I never knew."

"I didn't want you to, or anyone for that matter. I use to wake up from one of them and sit near where you and Shippo were sleeping. Just being near you calms me, like when we were trapped in the Oni's gut and I had to use the shard in Tessiaga . Keh, theres another time you saved my ass. All this talking about old memories and shit is starting to make me wonder who protects who around here." He laughed

Kagome brushed his hair from his eyes. "We protect each other InuYasha. That's what you do when you love someone. Just like how you protected Kikyo and she protected you when she was near."

"Kagome, you need to know…I mean I want you to know that the feelings I had for Kikyo are so small compared to how much I love you."

Kagome smiled and cupped his cheek in her palm

"I love you too InuYasha."

InuYasha put his hand over hers on his cheek, then turned his head slightly and kissed her palm.

"Kami, Kagome you have so much power over me, so much more than you know. You have the power to calm my full yokai, to soothe the pain in my soul. You can break my heart with a single look and send me to my knees with the slightest touch. I would do anything to make you happy."

Kagome smiled as a rush of tears wet her cheeks and felt her throat squeeze as she looked into his honey sun colored eyes. They held so much, so much love, so many promises…all shining back at her…for her. She tried to remember what it was last winter that had been stopping her from telling him. She had loved him for two years, so, so long. Her heart belonged to him and him alone.

She belonged to him and him alone and it was time he knew it.

Kagome rolled out of his arms and away from him onto her feet.

"Kagome?"

She shook her head and put her finger to her lips, then put out her hands for his.

InuYasha was hurt when she pulled away. He wondered what he had done, afraid he had been too intense too soon. There were so many wonderful memories here, that was why if this was to be the day they mated, he wanted this to be the place, the same place where he had told her he loved her. Even if he had yelled it out of frustration.

"What the fuck's a guy got to do to get some time alone with the woman he loves?!"

When she reached for his hands, he rolled to his feet and allowed her to lead him back to the cavern, the special alcove where they had spent the winter safe in one another's arms.

Kagome had already spread out her bedding, including the rabbit pelt mat he had made for her with Sango and Miroku's help. He couldn't help remembering the day he had caught the final six rabbits he needed, the day Miroku kept castrating the snowman and their laughter had mixed together and sounded so great rolling down the mountainside. But that was just another thing that made him love the woman in front of him, she was the one who introduced him to friendship, what it was like to have friends, real friends who didn't care that he was a defenseless liability one night of the month.

"Kagome." He pulled her against him "Do you know…how much you mean to me? How much you have changed my life?"

"InuYasha" Kagome cupped his cheek "You changed your life; I just showed you that there was more life to be had. Just like you showed me." Kagome nuzzled his jaw with her nose. She put her arms around his neck, her fingers caressing the back. Then she moved away from him slightly and she pulled his hands up and put something into them

"Kagome! What did you do?"

"You're free." Kagome couldn't stop staring at the beads in his hands.

"But…why?"

"Because Kaede put the beads on you against your will, you were forced to be with me because of them. Then, I used them on you so many times out of anger and selfishness to get back at you and to keep you with me. I can't…I WONT do it any longer. I was so wrong InuYasha. I am so sorry. You don't do that when you love someone. If you're going to be with me, I want it to be because you want to be. "

InuYasha wrapped his arms around her again. He kissed her softly then whispered against her lips "Want? I wanted to be freed from Goshinboku, I wanted the Shikon no tama, I wanted Naraku dead…but Kagome, I NEED to be with you. I have nothing without you. You're the only reason I breathe."

Kagome caught her breath when his lips covered hers, softly and gently teasing her own in tantalizing promises of what was to come. She began backing to the alcove, InuYasha held captive by her lips, powerless to do anything but follow. As one being they lowered themselves down onto the soft rabbit fur mat.

Kagome lay on her back cradled in the arms of the man she had loved for so long from afar. The back of her head rested in his palm while her hair spilled over and through his fingers. InuYasha breathed deeply, immensely pleased by the scents wrapping around him. Kagome was a buffet of wonderful scents and combining with her kisses and touch he was becoming somewhat light headed.

His fingers had worked their way under her shirt and now encountered two very stiff peaked and anxious to be freed breasts.

He pulled his lips from hers and kissed his way down her jaw to her ear, his breath was hot as he whispered to her.

"Kagome, are you fond of that fucking contraption?"

She pulled back slightly and looked at him, his eyes and face glowed with passion and his fingers twitched over her breasts with frustration. She smiled and sat up, first pulling off the shirt, then unhooking the front clasp on the bra. InuYasha just stared, practically drooling.

"Well if your gonna hide the fuckin thing, no wonder I can't figure it out." InuYasha grinned. He started laying back but found himself stopped.

"You too."

InuYasha yanked his robes off over his head without bothering to untie them. Kagome looked at him, slightly awed.

"What? You did it that way." InuYasha lay back down pulling Kagome with him, his fingers caressing her breasts.

"Well, I guess it could be worse. You could be asleep."

InuYasha rolled his eyes "Once. One fucking time. Try to make love to someone in your sleep one fucking time and you never hear the end of it."

Kagome giggled, her fingers twisting in his hair as he replaced his fingers with his tongue.

"You snored. Oh, that feels nice." His fingers now free, InuYasha had found another use for them further south to tease her through her jeans.

"You never proved that."

"Who cares?" Kagome reached for the zipper on her jeans and InuYasha sat up and pulled them off the rest of the way.

Kagome now lay completely naked for his eyes and InuYasha could barely breathe.

"Kagome" He whispered as he reached for the ties of his hakema.

"You're so beautiful."

Kagome smiled up at him "You're beautiful"

"Keh" he scoffed "Men aren't beautiful. Were manly and strong"

Kagome giggled again. "I'm getting cold, get back here."

"Keh!" InuYasha threw the blankets over his head at her to cover her but stayed crouched by her feet. "Wimp." He kissed her ankle's on the soft part just inside, then slowly dragged his lips and tongue up the inside of her legs and the backs of her knees, stopping now and then to pay attention to a place that seemed sensitive.

He slid over her to her face and kissed her deeply, then lifted her arm and began to lick her elbow passionately and fast. When she didn't seem to react, he dropped her arm and lifted his chin and dragged his tongue across her forehead, down the bridge of her nose and then lapped at the side creases where her nose met her face.

"InuYasha?"

"Huh?"

"What are you doing?"

InuYasha turned bright red "I'm trying to prepare you for me"

"By licking my nose and elbow?"

"Keh"

"Who told you to do that?"

"Sessho…" Realization dawned "I'm going to Kaze no Kizu his ass into hell."

Kagome started laughing. "And you believed him?"

"Miroku confirmed it when I asked him. Of course he did. Arghhh! Fucking bastards are dead, every fucking one of them."

InuYasha slammed back against the pillows, he was furious; Kagome knew she would have to be the one to salvage the situation. He face was pink just from thinking about it, still she turned on her side and rested on her elbow with the other arm on InuYasha's stomach.

"It's okay InuYasha. It was just a joke. Well figure out how to get back at them later" she slid her hand under the blankets and took matters into her own hands. InuYasha's eyes flew open as he went from being very soft to very erect almost immediately.

He relaxed then wrapped his arms around Kagome and rolled her over onto her back.

"I love you Kagome. You're my best friend my family, my home."

"InuYasha." He brought his lips to hers, teasing her with his tongue while his hand reached down to lightly stroke her.

"InuYasha…make me yours" Kagome breathed against his lips

"Are you sure about this Kagome? Once we do this there's no turning back, and I don't want to hurt you."

A rush of tears fell down her cheeks when she opened her eyes and took his face in her hands

"I was meant to be yours InuYasha. Sometimes you have to endure the pain to get to the happiness. It's the pain that's brought us closer to one another, that's made our bond stronger. After everything we have endured, after all we have lost I would do it all over again if it meant bringing us to this place. I'm ready for you, I want to love you…Love me InuYasha. Please."

It was InuYasha's turn to wipe away tears now as he slowly, carefully lowered himself into the woman he loved. When she did wince he kissed her over and over telling her that he loved her. When the moment passed they were quickly taken by their passion, passion that had been hidden and denied for so long than when it was finally released it was as if a hurricane rushed through the cave as they both screamed out their release.

InuYasha smiled at his mate and she returned his smile.

"I love you mate" InuYasha brushed her cheek with the back of his finger

"I love you mate"

She cuddled into his chest and they fell asleep in one another's arms.

-

When InuYasha woke alone his first thought was that Kagome had left, that she had been disgusted by his inexperienced lovemaking.

I licked her fucking nose and elbow! Kami he was going to introduce Sesshomaru to some serious fucking pain for that one.

When he heard a splash from the hot spring he relaxed, thinking back on how precious it had been, how special.

He smiled and rolled out of the alcove, picking up his kimono from the floor and throwing it on. He was pretty sure Kagome wasn't ready for nudist living yet.

"Hi sleepy head." She smiled shyly when he appeared by the hot spring.

InuYasha walked up behind her and tilted her head back,

"hi my beautiful mate" he kissed her.

Kagome smiled and leaned her cheek against his . "I love how that sounds."

"Beautiful mate?"

"No, well I like that too, but I LOVE the 'my'. I love being yours."

"I love you." He brushed his hand over her cheek.

"I love you too. Aren't you going to come in?"

"Thought you'd never ask" he grinned and backed up a little to toss his kimono where it wouldn't get wet. That was when he noticed Kagome's neck. He stepped forward, brushing his fingers over it.

"Kagome?" InuYasha stepped into the hot spring and sat by Kagome

"Hmm?"

He lifted his hair out of the way and turned around. "Do I have something on the back of my neck?"

"Hey, yeah you do. What is that? It looks like a full moon and a new moon overlapping with the kanji in the middle for Love Eternal. How did you know that was back there?"

InuYasha smiled as he dropped his hair and turned back to Kagome "You have the same thing, except yours says Eternal Love"

"I do?"

"Yeah." He shook his head "Fucking Sesshomaru. He tells me all kinds of shit, but he doesn't bother tell me something this important?"

Kagome laughed

"Oh, don't worry about Sesshomaru. I already have an idea for how to get back at him."

"How?" InuYasha grinned "And can I help?"

"Well, lets just say there is a special kind of chocolate in my time that is used to relieve a certain problem involving bodily function that isn't functioning. Sesshomaru should really enjoy it."

"I don't think I am going to ask you to explain that." InuYasha grinned, putting his arms and Kagome and pulling her close to kiss her.

"InuYasha" Kagome smiled sweetly "That's probably a good thing." She put her arms around him and let herself get lost in his kiss, her arms tangled in a sea of silver hair.
