dodges several heavy flying objects chucked by reviewers/readers Ahem. Has it really been 3 months? Hooboy, am I sorry. Things built up, grades were dropping, and blah blah blah. But here I am again! Yay! Also, finals are the week after this one, so I need an excuse to procrastinate. And I also realized that it's been almost a year since I started writing this ficand I'm still not done. Eep
Okies, now I know that I usually give all these long and drawn-out responses to my reviewers. I'm not gonna do that this time because I have to type this all out as fast as I can in case mommy dearest wanders in and asks what I'm doing. Honestly, I have three final projects to be doing. One is on advanced geometry (Euclid, the Konigsburg Bridge Problem, and Eratosthenes), another is comparing the African ostrich to the South American rhea, and the other is on the French king Louis IX. How random are these topics? School's out in two weeks! School's out in two weeks! Anyhoo, I shall get back to responding to all of y'all in the next couple of updates. Just because I don't respond now doesn't mean I don't love any of y'all less.
Okies, the song for this chapter is "Hands Down" by Dashboard Confessional, off their album A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar'. It's very good and you oughta get down to Target and get it quick (only $9.99!) because Hands Down is starting to pop up all over the radio and soon they'll jack up the stupid price. So go get the album and enjoy! It's the one thing I regret about doing these songfics. There's no way for y'all to hear the song. I'm sorry!
Anyhoo, chapter something, Hands Down, by me with the help of Dashboard Confessional! Mmmm.Chris Carrabbalovely bad boy
Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep,
This air is blessed, you share with me.
This night is wild, so calm and dull,
These hearts they race from self-control.
Your legs are smooth as they graze mine,
We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all.
Kagome blinked as she woke up. It was pitch black outside and she couldn't see a thing. What I wouldn't give for Inuyasha's eyesight,' she thought. Kagome suddenly realized the heavy band of warmth around her waist. She tried to push up off the floor, but the arm wrapped only tighter and prevented her from getting up. If anything, it only pulled her tighter into the hanyou's side. She could move her shoulders and her legs, but her middle couldn't move. Kagome laid back down next to Inuyasha and smiled. He would deny it all tomorrow morning, but he snored. It wasn't a loud, roof-shaking snore (a/n: like my dad's.) but more like a quiet snuffle. Kagome lifted her head and wiggled up just enough that she could give Inuyasha a little kiss on the cheek and then nestled her head back down into the crook of his shoulder and settled back down to sleep.
My hopes are so high,
That your kiss might kill me,
So won't you kill me? So I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst.
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry,
Whichever you prefer.
Inuyasha was awake the second that he felt Kagome's lips on his cheek. He didn't move at all, just in case she was going to do something more to him. After all, he didn't want to startle her, did he? However, Kagome did nothing more than snuggle deeper into his haori, falling asleep as if she hadn't ever been awake. Inuyasha tried to relax and go back to sleep but found he couldn't. Her hands were lightly gripping the front of his haori and her legs had tangled back into the lower folds of his loose pants. The pants that were slowly becoming tighter by the second. Inuyasha tried frantically tried to think of something other than the innocently sleeping girl on his chest. But when she tilted her head up and lightly exhaled on his neck in her sleep, Inuyasha gave up.
The words are hushed, let's not get busted.
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"Hey did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near,
Stay close they can't hear.
So we can get some.
He slowly rolled over and braced himself over her. He had to stay low because she refused to disentangle herself from his robes but that was fine with him. He bent down and kissed her lightly on the lips. She shifted but didn't wake up. Instead, she arched forward and pressed herself against Inuyasha's chest. Her hands had worked their ways up to his shoulders and pulled him down to her. Inuyasha didn't need to be told twice that she was willing and he gladly set to kissing her fully. He licked along her bottom lip and, when her lips parted, he took over. Kagome's eyes flicked open and she tensed for a minute before she realized that she was safe in Inuyasha's arms. She slowly relaxed and began kissing him back. Inuyasha felt something in him ease and he broke the kiss to look down into her eyes. He knew that she couldn't see him, and yet she seemed to know exactly where he was. She reached up with one hand and pulled his face back down to hers as her other hand slipped inside the front of his haori to trace a line along his collarbone.
My hopes are so high
That your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me? So I die happy.
My heart is yours
To break or bury, or wear as jewelry,
Whichever you prefer.
Kagome's senses reeled from the force of his kiss. Her mind focused on the feel of his lips against hers and she wasn't really paying any attention to the movements of her hands, the arching of her body, or anything except the wonderful feel of Inuyasha against her. His weight pressed her down to the floor, his hands caressed her sides, and his talented tongue was running down her jaw, creating the most intriguing sensations. She whimpered in pleasure, never having thought that something could feel this good. Inuyasha, too, had never felt anything so good either. Kikyo had always felt a little too cold and she was never as responsive as Kagome was now. Inuyasha could feel her skin heating up under his touch and he could smell her arousal in the air around them. Inuyasha soon realized that if he didn't do something about those fingers of hers that were slowly venturing lower and lower, he would lose control. So he dragged his mouth down her jaw and to the point where her neck met her shoulder. He licked there once and there was a jolt in the smell of Kagome's arousal as it jumped at his touch. Having decided that this was a good move on his part after all, he nipped her and then bit down lightly, just enough to hold her in place but not enough for her to feel any real pain.
Hands down, this is the best day I can ever
Remember, always remember, the sound of the
Stereo, the dim of the soft lights, the scent of your
Hair that you twirled in your fingers, and the time
On the clock, when we realized it's
So late, and this walk that we shared together.
Kagome came at the feel of Inuyasha's teeth on her skin. She had always been particularly ticklish on that spot and Inuyasha's touch sent her over the edge. She grasped his robes tightly, arched against him, and lost all the thoughts in her head as her vision exploded into a million tiny stars. When she was able to calm her breathing, she looked up into Inuyasha's dark amber eyes. She was struck by the intensity she saw in them. So struck, in fact, that she hadn't noticed that he had already managed to get her skirt off and was working on the buttons of her shirt. She hadn't noticed that she had pulled the outer part of his haori off and was tugging on the waistband of his pants. She did notice when he ran one finger along the line of her panties. She did notice when he slid his other hand up her side to knead her breast. And she definitely noticed when he tore those frustrating panties off finally. When did his pants come off?' she wondered absentmindedly, until her mind was soon preoccupied with other, more interesting, topics. His eyes never left hers as he entered her. She felt tight, warm, and so right. Inuyasha bent down in a deep, penetrating kiss as he moved in sync with his tongue. Kagome saw those stars once more until she and Inuyasha collapsed, worn out on the floor of the hut. They lay, limbs tangled, together and watched the first streams of sunlight peek through the windows of the hut. Both of them sighed in contentment.
The streets were wet, and the gate was locked,
So I jumped it, and I let you in.
And you stood at your door, with your hands on
My waist, and you kissed me like you meant it,
And I knew that you meant it.
Hooboy, did I have some fun writing that. I kept bursting out laughing. Especially at the line where it's like "Inuyasha slid his hand up her side to knead her breast". I laughed the hardest there because I was sort of on auto-typist (is that a word?) and I accidentally typed in "bread" instead of "breast". It makes a difference in the phrasehee heeyeah and then there was the phrase where I said something like "in sync". And then I went and realized how sad it is that the only reason I know that phrase is thanks to Justin Timberlake so I almost took it out but I couldn't find a better one to put in there so it stayed. But I'm still laughing :D
Um, I've said it before and nothing has changed. I'm still writing all this based on hearsay and trashy romance novels. Things might sound a tad cliché. So be kind in your reviews. Please be gentle with me. grins
