Hey people! ::Falls onto knees and holds hands up:: Please forgive me! I'm so sorry for the long wait! I've been gone for close to a month now. I though I'd write more in the summer but I guess I'm wrong. I will make up for it with a new chapter and some fluff. -------------------------------
Disclaimer: I have begun to realize that no amount of Ramen could keep Inuyasha here for very long. Curse you Kagome! I do not own Inuyasha so I will have to live through you!
-------------------------------
Kagome woke late the next morning safe in her own bed. All she saw was a blob of red before she closed her eyes and snuggled closer to it. She felt a pair of strong arms go around her and pull her tight. Kagome smiled and her tired mind struggled to remember what had made her so sad in the first place. She was almost asleep when it suddenly hit her. Kagome wiggled out of the strong grip she was in and sat up. Inuyasha, who lay sleeping beside her, turned away and mumbled in his sleep. She put her hand to her heart and looked around her room wildly. Now she also remembered what had happened after Inuyasha had found her. -------------------------------
{Flashback}
(Didn't I say something about no more flashbacks?)
Inuyasha carried Kagome in his arms and her bags on his back as he leapt from rooftop to rooftop on his way back to Kagome's house. Kagome felt safe in his arms. She knew wouldn't let her fall. And if for some freakish reason he did drop her, she knew Inuyasha would rather have her land on him then let her fall. Kagome closed her eyes and enjoyed the feel of wind rushing over her face. In minutes she was asleep.
When Kagome awoke again she was in her room and Inuyasha was sitting on the floor looking at her. Kagome sat up and yawned widely. "How long have I been asleep?' 'Well, it's dark. I had the time to go get your bag too.'' He gestured to the yellow bag that now rested in the corner. "Well, I'd uh...I better get going." Inuyasha said standing up. Kagome jumped up. "No!" Inuyasha looked startled. "Huh?" "Stay here. Don't leave me." Kagome pleaded. Inuyasha nodded and looked around her room. Kagome looked down and blushed. "Will you.....will you just hold me? Please?" (A/N: I just ripped of Buffy...Oh well! Why waste a good thing? )
The hanyou blushed and took a step towards her. His heart was pounding so loud he was sure Kagome would hear. "You sure?" Kagome nodded. "Please?" "Of course." Inuyasha flicked off the lights and walked slowly towards the bed. He pulled her close and lowered down onto the bed with her. Kagome snuggled into the front of his white shirt and sighed. "Oh!" she cried suddenly. "I almost forgot!" She rolled out of bed and dug through one of her bags. "Ah-ha!" she said triumphantly. She turned to Inuyasha holding up his robe of the Fire Rat. "It wouldn't be the same with out it." she explained as she tossed it to him. Without a moments hesitation he slipped it on. "Better?" Kagome nodded sleepily and crawled back into bed beside him. "G'night Inuyasha." she yawned. "G'night Kagome...my love" Kagome didn't hear the last part though. she was already asleep.

(A/N: Mwahahaha! I just totally denied you a lemon! Not really but... oh well! When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Not lemonade for you! Confused look Did I say that? )
-------------------------------
Kagome snuggled back down next to Inuyasha. With a dreamy smile on her face, she drifted off to sleep again.
Inuyasha woke up shortly after Kagome had fallen asleep again. She had her back to him now and she was clamped onto his arm. Inuyasha buried his face in Kagome's soft, raven hair. She smelled of lilacs and sage, proof of her strong miko powers. Though Kikyo's scent had been familiar, Kagome's was the only one that had such a calming effect on him. His mother's had let him know her was safe and loved. Kagome's had the same effect.
Kagome...he thought. Kagome, you are my one and only. The one I'll spend my life with...if you'll let me. Inuyasha pulled Kagome closer and crushed him to her chest. He breathed in her scent and sighed contentedly. Inuyasha knew that he wouldn't be able to do this for long. If Naraku knew, he would use it against them. Inuyasha sighed and tried to fall asleep again. This was likely to be the last time he that got restful sleep in a long time. -------------------------------
:Feudal Era:
Why won't he stop looking at me? It's rather scary. I wish Kagome and Inuyasha would come back. I don't like being alone with the monk. Shippo is here but that doesn't mean a thing. Sango sat across the fire from Miroku, who was staring at her and made no point at trying to hide it. Shippo and Kirara were curled up to the right of them. Sango fidgeted uncomfortably. "What?!" she finally demanded. "I was just admirering your beauty." Sango blushed and looked down. "Sango.There is something I must tell you." The demon slayers heart started to beat faster. "W-what?" "I'm hungry." Sango sweat dropped. "Stupid monk." "What did you want me to say?" Miroku asked scooting closer. "Nothing!"
That was a little too hasty. Miroku thought. "Sango. Don't deny your feelings" Sango's eyes widened. "What feeling? My feelings of disgust!?" Miroku chuckled at her expression. "Oh Sango, I can see right through your act." He then grabbed her hand and rubbed his face against it, much like a cat. Sango pulled her hand away and scuttled out of his reach. Creepy monk. Miroku was about to follow her when a rock hit him on the side of the head. He fell to his stomach, twitching. Inuyasha, with Kagome and her bag on his back, landed in front of Sango. "Dirty lecher." he muttered while bending slightly to let Kagome off.
As she slid down, Inuyasha was fully and painfully aware of every curve of her body. ACK! I'm getting as bad as the monk! he realized. Note to self: No more late night talks with the hormone charged monk. "How are you Sango?" Kagome asked cheerily. "Alright." When Kagome turned to check on Shippo Sango gave Inuyasha a questioning look. He shook his head to indicate that he hadn't told her. "Why not?" "I'm waiting for the right time." he whispered. "What was that?" Kagome asked. "Nothin." She stared at Inuyasha steadily. He focused on arranging his face into what he thought was a blank expression. They were brought back into reality by a groan somewhere near their feet. Looking down Kagome realized Miroku lay only semi-conscious under her feet. "Oops! I thought the ground felt funny." she said as she stepped off of the monk.
Miroku stood up, rubbing his head. "Owwwww. Oh, Kagome, Inuyasha, your back." Kagome smiled sweetly at him. "Yup. Just in time to save Sango." "Dirty lecher." Inuyasha repeated. Miroku grinned sheepishly. "I was causing her no harm." he mumbled as he rubbed his head. Kagome yawned widely. "It's getting late. Let's get some rest." Inuyasha said with a glance at Kagome. "Yeah. We spent nearly three hours looking for you." Kagome said. "Why the hell are you so far from the village?!" Inuyasha demanded with a glare. "We got news of a village that had been repeatedly attacked by a demon. We believed it might have had a jewel shard. And as a demon slayer it was my duty to check it out." "Did it?" Sango shook her head.
"I see. Speaking of jewel shards..." Kagome turned to Inuyasha and held out her hand. "Give them back." Inuyasha grudgingly complied, handing back the nearly completed jewel that they had just recently gotten back from Naraku in their most recent battle. "Well," Kagome said tiredly. "time for bed." "But I'm not tired yet." Miroku complained. I sudden smile split his face. "I'd much rather stay up and visit with Sango!" Sango's eyebrow twitched as she lifted Hiraikotsu. The monk uttered a short cry before the giant boomerang came crashing down on his skull. "I feel suddenly sleepy..."Miroku said as he fell to the ground, stars in his eyes. Sango shook her head as she settled down by the fire but across from Miroku.
Kagome sat down and stared into the fire. Inuyasha crouched down next to her and did the same. The two stayed that way until Sango's breathing began slow and even. "I uh... I'm gonna get some rest." Inuyasha said standing up. "You better do the same. With out a word Kagome stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck. Inuyasha picked her up and ran into the forest. When they were out of sight but were still close in case of danger, (A/N: Maybe I should say just out of sight?) Inuyasha jumped into the biggest tree. He found the largest branch and settled down on it. He set Kagome in his lap and wrapped his arms around her. Kagome turned so her back was against chest and sighed. This was much more comfortable then the ground.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha's voice in her ear interrupted Kagome's musing. "Yes?" "I have something to tell you." "OK..." Inuyasha looked up through the branches and leaves to the stars. Should I tell her now? This might just bring me more pain. No, I have to be brave. "I uh...Kagome I errr..." Kagome craned her neck to look at Inuyasha. "What?" He took a deep breath and looked down at her. "Kagome I ...damn!" he cursed softly as he put his mouth over hers. (A/N: The long awaited kiss!) Kagome gasped but soon responded, deepening. the kiss. When they parted for air Inuyasha looked into Kagome's eyes. "I guess what I wanted to say is that I love you." he murmured quietly. Kagome's eyes widened. These were the words that she had longed to hear since the day that she saw him pinned to the sacred tree. These three words meant more to her than anything else. Kagome turned to face Inuyasha on the branch and hugged him tightly. "I love you too!" she cried. Inuyasha's arms tightened around her. "Y-you do? The fact that I'm a half- breed doesn't matter?!" He asked incredulously. Kagome chuckled. What's so funny?" Inuyasha demanded, pushing Kagome out to arm length. "I told you Inuyasha. I like you the way you are." she answered. Her eyes were filled with softness and love. Inuyasha frowned at her.
"I know you don't want me to become demon, I don't either. When I become full demon I lose myself. You know I don't ever want to go through that again. I might hurt you." Kagome nodded and waited for him to go on. "But you don't want me to become human?" Kagome scoffed at him. "No. I.Like.You.The.Way.You.Are. Do I have to spell it out for you? I-l-i-k-e-y- o-u-"Kagome was cut off as Inuyasha kissed her again. This time it was filled with all the passion he had held back over time. They broke the kiss reluctantly and Inuyasha smiled down at Kagome. "I get it." he whispered. They moved back into their original position. Inuyasha yawned and kissed the top of Kagome's head. "Night Kagome. I love you." "Night Inuyasha." Kagome replied as she snuggled closer to him. "Love you too." The young couple fell asleep lulled by the wind in the leaves and their own beating hearts.
-------------------------------
OK. I know I suck at fluff. I admit it. It sounds OK in my mind but I can't really put the pictures into words. ::Sighs:: Oh well. Happy about the long chappie? I hope I get some reviews for this. (Hint hint) Oh! I apologize for Inuyasha's OOCness. I beg forgiveness for this too. OK. I think that's it. Wait..no it's not. I also would like to say that I don't own Buffy the vampire slayer. and if you have any question plz ask and I will answer what I can. Skye
