Wherever You Will Go


"I love you," InuYasha panted as he finally mustered the strength to pull away and grin down at her. A few clawed fingers gently moving a few loose hairs behind her ear before leaning down to nuzzle her nose, "I've missed you so much."

"I missed you too," Kagome breathed happily as she moved to place a brief chaste kiss against his lips which kicked up into a playful smirk.

"Missed but not loved. What a shame," he teased against her lips before laying flush against her, "And here I thought you were waiting for me."

"You know I've always loved you," Kagome laughed softly as she wrapped her arms around him and drew circles on his back, "I would've waited as long as it took."

"A terrible decision if I'm being honest," he chuckled softly as he adjusted himself so he could rest his head against her chest. The sound of her racing heartbeat thrummed against his cheek and what tension remained in his muscles melted instantly.

"Baka," Kagome chided softly as she gently tapped his shoulder and he lifted his head to place another lingering kiss on her lips.

"God, I've missed you," Inuyasha breathed as he gave her an affectionate smile and placed his cheek back over her heart. Right where he belonged. He could lay here forever honestly. Sure, it was a little cold but it wasn't bothering him and he would keep her warm anyway. They could just live on air.

"So, so much," he added for good measure as he moved to wrap his arms under her and held her tightly against him. Six years had changed many things about him and one of them was being more open about his feelings. A soft sigh escaped him when he felt Kagome run her fingers through his thick hair and he happily nuzzled into her in reply. He wasn't going to chalk this up to a dream or even insanity. He knew the difference and he knew this was real. For a fleeting moment guilt filtered into his gut that he hadn't thought to use one of his attacks as she must have used of hers but it wouldn't have changed anything. It might've actually made it worse. He could've destroyed the well and then he would never be here like he was now. Perhaps it was part of a larger plan. A way to make them both grow and to make sure neither of them messed it up this time around. There had been too much coming between them back then. Too many reminders in that era. This was a clean slate for him. One where he could truly prove how much she meant to him. Something he had failed to do during their quest.

"So an arrow huh?" he asked lazily after a few more euphoric moments had passed. He felt Kagome nod while her fingers traced circles on his back. This moment was everything he had ever wished for it to be. Calm. Peaceful. Comforting. It wasn't passionate or over the top. No questions were being asked. No accusations or insecurity. No tears were being shed. There was no angst about the time they spent apart. No bitterness about the well being so obstinate. Just love. Just happiness. Just them. Together.

"I knew you'd find me. You always find me. No matter how far I went," Kagome hummed contentedly as continued running her fingers through the silver locks before trailing off at the ends. Laughing softly, Inuyasha nodded once and relaxed even more into her, "Always."

"We could take this somewhere more comfortable," Kagome hummed after a moment and InuYasha lifted himself up slightly with a pout. As tempting as the idea of living out some of his deeply buried fantasies where her bedroom was concerned might be, he didn't want this to end and he didn't really want to spend time with anyone else at the moment. That could very much wait.

"It's not that I don't want to see your family," InuYasha began cautiously before lowering back down into his previous position and snuggling in, "I just want to be alone with you right now."

"Who said I didn't have a place to be alone?" Kagome laughed softly as she gently cupped his chin and forced his head up so he could look at her, "I don't live here anymore. I live all by myself."

"Not anymore," InuYasha reminded gently as his lips twitched upwards before he added in a teasing tone, "You're going to get so sick of me."

"Oh no, whatever will I do," Kagome teased back. With a roll of the eyes and a soft snort, Inuyasha leaned forward and gave her another chaste kiss.
