Chapter 5: Breathing
That day, after everyone had woken up, Kagome had stated that she had to return back home for a few days, on a count of the fact that her family had gone out of town, and Kagome had to keep an eye on the house.
After whining all day before she left, and following her around to annoy her, Kagome finally gave in and accepted the fact that Inuyasha wanted to go with her, and wasn't going to give up anytime soon.
When Kagome got out of the well, followed by Inuyasha, she began to walk to her back door. Inuyasha immediately leaped up towards the window he always used to go to Kagome's room.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted. "Fine...I'll meet you inside...just don't touch any of my stuff!" Kagome ran into her house and up the stairs, only to find her room bombarded with her crap all over the floor.
"Whoops..." Kagome sighed, forgetting that she had never cleaned up her room before she had left to go to the feudal era the day before. She tidied up her room, leaving a bored Inuyasha staring at all of her stuff on the floor.
Two hours and a half later, Kagome had finished cleaning her room, without the help of Inuyasha, I might add, and dragged him down to the kitchen to eat something.
She forced him to sit in a chair and opened a cupboard, taking out his favorite food in the world, ramen soup. Inuyasha sat in the chair contently waiting for the delicious noodles to be served in front of them.
Three minutes later, the soup was done and Kagome set the bowel down in front of him. Now later then one split minute later, was Inuyasha done eating, food all over his face.
"Pig...at least you were patient this time when I was making it." Kagome sat down across from him and handed him a napkin. She then rested her hands on her cheeks, staring at him, eyes locked with his.
"What?" Inuyasha finally spoke up. Kagome blushed not realizing she was staring. She hesitated to talk.
"I...uhhhh.... I..." Kagome stuttered.
"Spit it out Kagome!" Inuyasha peered at the fidgeting girl, her fingers going mad together.
"Never mind... it's stupid...." Kagome said. 'I'll never be able to look at him the same way again if I tell him about that dream...' She thought to herself.
"Feh...whatever..." Inuyasha looked away, crossing his arms. Kagome sighed again.
"Okay... it's ten thirty three. I'm going to bed." Kagome said. She yawned and then sat up, slowly walking up the stairs. Inuyasha followed, like always.
When Kagome reached her room, she ran to her bed and leaped on top of it. She snuggled her face to her pillow and sighed softly. Inuyasha came inside and sat down on the floor next to the door. Kagome looked over at him.
"Inuyasha... don't sleep on the hard floor..." Kagome whispered. Inuyasha peered up towards her smiling face.
"Oh, and where do you expect I should sleep then?" Inuyasha said sarcastically. Kagome rolled her eyes.
"What do you think?" Kagome said and nodded her head gesturing him to come beside her on the bed.
After a few seconds of hesitating, Inuyasha finally got up and lay beside her, next to the wall. He turned so he wasn't facing her. Kagome then turned to him and sighed, closing her eyes.
She was right up against him. Inuyasha blushed and twitched a little bit. This was one of the few times he had been this close with Kagome. Apparently, Kagome didn't mind.
That night, Inuyasha hadn't closed his eyes at all. Not even once. He was too busy thinking about Kagome to fall asleep. He tried, but he had no power over it.
'My eyes are feeling heavy but they never seem to close. The fan blades on the ceiling spin but the air is never cold. And even though you're next to me I still feel so alone. I just can't give you anything for you to call your own.' He thought. He tried closing his eyes, but they just wouldn't shut. Kagome then breathed in heavily, her chest rising up against his back. Inuyasha blushed.
'And I can feel you breathing and it's keeping me awake. Can you feel it beating? My heart sinking like a weight.' He thought. Kagome then wrapped her arms around his waist. He blinked several times, trying to calm himself down. He then turned to face her. She was still asleep. Kagome then snuggled up to Inuyasha. Her arms were still wrapped around him, and she rested her head on his chest.
'Something I've been keeping locked away behind my lips. I can feel it breaking free with each and every kiss. I couldn't bear to hurt you but it's all so different now. Things that I was sure of they have filled me up with doubt.' He then wrapped his arms around her and rose and fell with her breathing, so he felt like they were the same.
'And I can feel you breathing and it's keeping me awake. Can you feel it beating? My heart sinking like a weight.' Inuyasha rested his chin on the top of her head, taking in her scent of her hair.
'I can feel you breathing and it's keeping me awake. Could you stop my heart it's always beating, sinking like a weight.' He the kissed the top of her forehead and looked at her beautiful features.
'How am I supposed to feel about the things I've done? I don't know if I should stay or turn around and run. I know that I hurt you things will never be the same. The only love I ever knew I threw it all away.' He hugged her, closing his eyes for the first time since he got on top of Kagome's bed. He was finally relaxed. This time, instead of thinking, he spoke the words.
"And I can feel you breathing and it's keeping me awake. Can you feel it beating? My heart sinking like a weight." Inuyasha said, and then he whispered the last comment.
"I can feel you breathing and it's keeping me awake..." He then kissed her cheek. "Could you stop my heart it's always beating, sinking like a weight..." He closed his eyes again, and feel asleep, both of them wrapped in each other's arms.
