Chapter 2
The next day, Kagome woke with Inu Yasha still in her lap, looking up at her. Giving him a warm smile, she stretched her stiff muscles. "How did you sleep?" She asked him.
"Eh...okay. You?"
"Better than usual. Are you as hungry as I am?"
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, her stomach gave a fierce sounding growl. Inu Yasha laughed and sat up, when he turned around, Kagome was staring at him like he had grown a second head.
"What?" He questioned, looking down at his body to try and figure out why she was looking at him so strangely.
"You're sitting up already!! Do you really heal that quickly when you actually rest?" She squealed as she jumped on him and started ripping patches of gauze off.
"OW OW OW!!! BE CAREFUL!!" Inu Yasha screamed, as the tape was yanked off of his skin. Glaring at her, he scooted away to rub his red chest and arms. The only one she hadn't managed to rip off was the one in the middle of his chest. Looking at the ugly brown color the once white gauze had turned, he decided that one could go too. He carefully got his claws under the 'tape' and slowly pulled the bandage off.
Kagome watched in part fascination, and part horror. She really wanted the wound to be healed already, but if it wasn't, she could baby Inu Yasha some more. Sighing, she saw that it was almost closed. Not that I wanted to see a large bleeding crater in the middle of my loves chest, she thought to herself. Wait a minute. Where did that come from? MY LOVE?? Gulping, she was extremely glad the Inu Yasha was too busy poking his healing wounds to notice the blush that took over her face. Deciding to busy herself with cooking breakfast, Kagome stood and walked to her pack. After pulling out several items, she finally picked what to cook. Starting the fire again with a match, she poured water into a pot and set it over the fire. Dusting her hands together, she leaned back, and encountered Inu Yasha's chest. "Oof," was the only sound she made.
He hadn't really expected her to lean back, other wise he would have moved. At least that's what he told himself. During the night, his nose had picked up a slight change to Kagome's scent. It had woken him up, and he noticed that the tips of her ears were red, and her skin was heated. She had mumbled something in her sleep, and her hand had stroked his hair. After listening to her breathing for a few minutes, he had fallen back asleep, finally close to the one he felt for. When he had woken the next morning, the strange scent still clung to Kagome, and he felt compelled to stay close to her. But not when she was practically yanking my skin off, he mused.
While she sat their stunned from colliding with his chest, Inu Yasha decided to take advantage of the situation. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her back to sit in his lap. After he had arranged her comfortably, he buried his nose in her hair and sniffed. She leaned back against him and placed her hands on top of his. Giggling as the warm air from his nose tickled her skin and made goose bumps rise on the back of her neck and arms. He nipped her neck when she began to giggle, and let a playful growl resonate from his chest. When the giggles left, she sighed and watched the fire crackle and dance. The waters almost boiling, she thought grumpily. Shifting in his lap, she moved to get up, mumbling, "Gotta cook breakfast."
Inu Yasha let his hands trail down her body as she left his lap. The lingering touch made her turn and smile at him before she kneeled by the fire and began mixing ingredients into the pot. Soon the cave was filled with a wonderful smell that made his mouth water. He stretched out to lay by the fire, absorbing the heat and dozing until breakfast was ready. A few minutes later, he was jerked from his nap by a warm bowl being placed on his stomach. Grunting, he sat up and sniffed the food, then dug in. Kagome watched him gobble down his food, then roll over onto his stomach to nap again. "What a bum." She said to herself, and began eating her food. When she had finished, she walked over to pick his bowl. Not noticing until it was too late that his eyes were open. In a blur of movement, his arm snuck out and yanked her down beside him. Pulling her back to his chest, he wrapped his arms around her waist again, this time resting his chin on her shoulder.
When Kagome and got her breathing back to normal, she growled, "Jeez Inu Yasha! Scare the shit out of me why don't you!"
He just snickered and nuzzled her neck, causing her to shiver. Liking the way that she reacted to him, he pleasured himself by drawing her scent into his nose. Soon her neck seemed to be calling to him, begging him to nip it. So he did, and was rewarded with yet another shiver. Tightening his arms around Kagome's waist, he sighed and closed his eyes. Keeping his ears alert, he noticed her breathing was slowing too. Her body began to relax and she rested her hands on top of his again. A slight smile twitched at her lips as she was coaxed into sleep by his warm embrace.
A few hours later, Inu Yasha awoke, with Kagome still sleeping in his arms. Sometime during their nap, he'd rolled over onto his back, bringing her with him. So now she lay sprawled out on top of him, letting out a sigh once in a while snuggling closer to his chest. He smiled as he ran his clawed fingers through her hair. She's so beautiful when she sleeps. Once all the tangles were smoothed out of her hair, which didn't take long because her hair was always so neat, he walked his hands up and down her back. That scent of hers made him want to be touching her all the time. It filled his nose and made him feel happily intoxicated. He felt like he was soaring through the air, with Kagome on his back of course.
His curiosity killing him, he began to focus on the smell, trying to figure out where it was coming from. He couldn't remember ever smelling it before, but he had this nagging thought in the back of his mind that he had. Giving up for the time being, he decided to focus his other senses. He noted that there was a light rain that was beginning to fall. Before he devoted his attention to Kagome again, he check for any signs of intruders or of people having passed by recently. His senses didn't pick up anything unusual, which didn't really mean anything. After pondering whether it was a good or a bad sign, he realized Kagome's breathing had changed. She was waking up.
Smiling, he started running his hands through her hair again, hoping to himself that he would be able to do this more often. While she woke, her body stretched and arched against his. Not being able to hold it in any longer, Inu Yasha let out a moan and yanked her face up to his. When her face was next to his, he pressed his lips against hers, kissing her with the passion of a drowning man. As the feelings became bearable again, he released her mouth, and stared into her sleepy eyes. She blinked a few times and smiled and then leaned down and softly pressed her lips against his. "Mmm…" She mumbled when she was done, and snuggled her head next to his chest again.
As the rain fell harder out side the cave, the two companions stayed wrapped in each others arms.
