It has been oh so long since I updated. I've been working for a while on this chapter, trying to figure WTF to do with it. So here's the finished product, I hope y'all like it and don't threaten to stone me at the end of it.
Disclaimer: I have not, nor will I ever own Inuyasha or his companions... though I really wish I could just borrow him for minute or... five. I promise I'll return him!
---------------------------
"Inuyasha," Kagome said breathlessly. He grunted in response, not looking up from his point of fascination. "We're graduating tomorrow! I just... I just can't believe it!" He nodded absently still enrapt in the highly addictive game that was Snood. When her boyfriend still didn't respond to her she stomped over to him and tweaked his furry little ear.
"Ow woman! That hurts!" he growled, nursing the offended appendage. Kagome glared down at him and Inuyasha definitely didn't need their link to understand what she was thinking and feeling. He sighed, turned in his chair and patted his knee for Kagome to sit down. She obliged him, although grudgingly, and rested against him when his arms wrapped around her waist. "I'm excited too. Though... you are acting like a thirteen year old girl about this." His arm was smacked and he laughed quietly, pressing a soft kiss to the side of her neck.
"I can't help it. I just can't quite believe we're finally going to be done with school. Inuyasha?" He hummed. "Are you as nervous about this as I am?"
"About what?" She fidgeted in his lap which he quickly put a stop to, knowing where it would force his thoughts all too soon. Kagome silently apologized to her mate-to-be, also knowing what she did to him sometimes. The gods knew how he did the same thing to her all the time.
"We're going to be going out into the real world soon. Looking for real jobs, living in an apartment of our own and..." She hesitated but Inuyasha caught the flow of her thoughts easily. He placed another kiss on her pulse, rumbling gently at the same time to calm her a little.
"Are you nervous about becoming mates Kagome?" he asked quietly. She shook her head but Inuyasha could tell there was something about the subject that made her edgy. He tried to gently probe her mind through their bond but he couldn't find a specific thing that would cause her to be so apprehensive. She sighed and turned to face him, tracing a finger across his nose, cheekbones and his lips. He watched her seriously, trying to determine what was wrong.
"It's just all a very big change. I mean, we're going to be on our own in the world without anyone to hold our hands. We have to do things for ourselves and we'll be... we'll be mates, married soon. It's just a lot to take in, you know?" Inuyasha smiled and took Kagome's hands into his own.
"Kagome, I'm right here with you and I always will be. We're not alone because we have each other goof ball." She smiled and he kissed the end of her nose. "I'm sure you're going to go out there and become an amazing teacher. Your professors all seem to think so and I know so. If you can get me to remember all the dates and countries of both World War one and two, then you can do anything." Kagome beamed at him, making him smile as well. One thing was for sure, if Kagome was happy, he was happy and he would do anything to make her happy. A tint of uncertainty tinged her thoughts and Inuyasha looked at her in confusion. Then he realized what she was still worried about.
"About the mating thing..." He kissed her softly, reassuring her through actions.
"We'll take it one step at a time, I promise," he whispered against her lips. She smiled again then gave a soft, content sigh. Inuyasha felt immensely relieved now that she wasn't nearly so jittery. She relaxed against him, hugging him firmly around the neck. Inuyasha shuddered slightly as she sighed against his throat.
It was becoming harder and harder to keep his desires from running away from him whenever he was with Kagome, which was just about all the time. It didn't matter where they were or whom they were with, she could do the most mundane thing, like smile at him, and he'd be all geared up to pounce on her in a second. She was getting very good at catching his mood flips and would often send him a mental command to stop right where he was. He always obeyed though it was getting harder and he felt like he was constantly railing against his instincts with her. Right now was one of those times when he was fighting too hard for her not to notice his turmoil.
"I know Inuyasha. I know how impatient you are." He growled slightly against her throat as well, unable to stop himself from kissing the skin within reach.
"You have no idea Kagome. Not really." She laughed wryly before somehow letting down a mental barrier he hadn't been aware of. All of a sudden he was flooded with pure, unadulterated desire. And it was all Kagome's. His skin started to feel all hot and he felt himself get ridiculously hard at the simple idea that Kagome wanted him that much. He had to battle the urge to throw her down on the bed and give her what she wanted and only succeeded with help from Kagome herself. "I... I didn't know you could do that. You're better at this mental link thing than I am," he said a bit breathlessly. Kagome was also out of breath from the flood of heat they had just experienced and just rested her forehead against his.
"I've had to try really hard because I know you're a hard one to stop if you knew how much I wanted it too." The two of them finally looked into each other's eyes but instead of the heated kiss that would be expected, they both fell out of the chair laughing hysterically. Kagome laughing at what she'd just said and Inuyasha laughing because there was no doubt it was true. They lay like that, laughing for a long time before Inuyasha finally got a hold of himself. Kagome was still giggling breathlessly but she was calming down as well. Inuyasha leaned over her, grinning like a fool and gasping slightly for breath. She was so beautiful laying like that, her hair a tousled mess around her head and her eyes twinkling happily up at him.
"God you're amazing Kagome." She blushed at his exclamation.
"Yea well, you're not so bad yourself," she whispered. Inuyasha chuckled then nuzzled her throat gently, loving the way she smelled and the feeling of her skin against his face. She giggled, his nose tickling her. Inuyasha smirked widely before continuing his actions with renewed vigor. Kagome started to laugh louder and he added his claws to the mix, tickling her sides gently. She started squealing, wanting to beg him to stop but not really able to get the words out to do so. "In...ha...Inu...ya...ha...sha," she finally managed to get out. He laughed but ceased his assault on her sides, just kissing the underside of her ear softly before pulling back entirely.
"Come on, I think it's time for dinner."
"With you, it's always time for some meal or other," Kagome laughed as he helped her to her feet. He growled at her but there was no way he meant it. She was right, as usual. He couldn't help it if he was hungry all the time! What could he say? He was a growing half-demon boy who needed his meals.
"Yea well I can't help it if I'm hungry. You shouldn't complain as it gets us out of the dorm all the time to go get good food as opposed to that nonsense they feed us downstairs." She had to agree with that. Inuyasha's craving for food did often get them out and about the town. Kagome loved being out on the town with Inuyasha. Besides the fact that she loved spending time with him in general, he had a tendency to be more introverted outside of the dorm, giving her and only her all of his attention. He had even, strangely, begun openly showing his affection for her. She couldn't complain that was for sure. She really couldn't help the pride she felt at the envious looks she got from the girls they saw while out and about.
When she'd asked him about why he was so much more publicly tender with her than he used to be, especially in front of all those people, he told her it was because she was going to be his mate and everyone should "damn well" know it. She had laughed at his possessive growl but the idea warmed her heart. The fact that Inuyasha was by no means ashamed of her made her immeasurably happy. He'd even asked her if she wanted him to stop, if it embarrassed her to be seen like that with him in public to which she gave him a heartfelt no.
"How could I possibly be ashamed of someone I care about so much?" she'd asked him. He had shrugged but he wanted to know more about it.
"But I'm a hanyou. Not a full demon but neither am I a human like most of the people in this town." Kagome had given him a soft smile and a kiss on the cheek.
"You know it doesn't matter what you are to me. You're Inuyasha and that's all that's important. I could never be ashamed of you." He had smiled brightly, truly overjoyed by her response, and then kissed her fervently. He broke it off, growling, when she started to giggle against his lips but then he'd started to laugh as well.
It was one of her many fond memories of going out with Inuyasha, one she'd be treasuring for a very long time to come if she had anything to say about it. She was pulled from her thoughts by a very impatient hanyou whose stomach was growling nearly as loudly as he was. She smiled at him, calming him instantly and grabbed her purse on the way out the door.
"What were you thinking about that's got you all dreamy?" He asked her as they waited for the elevator. She glanced at him while smiling softly but shrugged. She didn't really know how to or particularly want to explain it to him. If he really wanted to know, he could just dig a little through their mental bond, but he was usually too lazy to do so. Not to mention he knew she didn't like it when he invaded her private thoughts. He gave her a light kiss on the temple but didn't ask anything more about it.
"So Sango my dear, what is it you plan to do now that you've graduated?"
"I'm not going to Disney World with you Miroku."
"Damn, I thought for sure that one would work." Kagome giggled at her two friends. Miroku's mother had decided that it would be good for the whole family to take a little vacation. With Miroku's youngest brother only being ten, his mother had suckered him into a weeklong trip to the wonderful world of Disney. He had been trying to rope Sango into going with him for over a month and she had yet to relent. Kagome knew Sango would cave tonight. There was no way her friend could resist the pervert if he employed certain tactics that he was nearly famous for. Kagome felt a large hand on her waist and glanced over her shoulder to see a grinning hanyou behind her.
Hey mate. She just smiled and kissed him quickly in response. "Aww, is that all I get?" he whined. Both Sango and Miroku heard his sniveling tone and ended their argument to start laughing at their friend. "Hey, shut up you two," he growled. Kagome smiled up at him, calming him immediately with that content grin she saved for this occasions. She slid her arms around his neck, pulling him down to claim his mouth. He smirked a moment before he was overwhelmed by her warm soft lips. They were unfortunately interrupted when Inuyasha caught scent of Kagome's mother. Kagome caught his frustrated thought and laughed quietly.
"She's back with the camera." Sure enough Mrs. Higurashi came beaming up to the four friends, though her attentions were focused on the couple that included her daughter, her camera hanging around her neck. Kagome giggled at the aggravated rumble coming from her mate-to-be while trying to hush him before her mother came into hearing range. She'll just take a few more, she promised.
She's taken two rolls of us already! And that was just before graduation even started, he mentally growled at her. The two of them smiled warmly at Mrs. Higurashi when she came up, babbling about how proud she was of them both. Kagome tried to subtly hint to her mother that she had plenty of pictures of them but the older woman either didn't get the hint, or didn't want to. She began snapping away and Kagome and Inuyasha stood awkwardly, trying to follow the random poses Mrs. Higurashi was yelling at them to take. Kagome was starting to feel like this was her wedding day and not just her college graduation. She tried really hard to smile genuinely for her mother but it was getting harder with each snap.
"Mom, I think that's enough. My face is going to stick like this," Kagome said through clenched teeth. Inuyasha growled his agreement through a similarly strained smile. Mrs. Higurashi sighed but let the camera hang down from the strap around her neck. She smiled at the pair and gave them an enthusiastic hug.
"Oh Kagome, Inuyasha, I'm so proud of you both. I know you two are going to do so well for yourselves out in the world. And I can't wait for my grandbabies!" Kagome and Inuyasha blushed furiously at the compliments but more so at the implication of the last comment. Kagome realized why her mother was so adamant about the picture taking now. In a way, it was like her wedding day, but in the youkai way. She mentally conveyed as much to Inuyasha who only nodded and blushed further. Kagome giggled at his embarrassment and kissed his cheek quickly.
"Thanks Momma, we'll be waiting on that one for a while. We have a bit of living left to do before we settle down enough for kids." Kagome's mother winked and laughed but said nothing more on the subject. The woman was more than pleased with her daughter's choice of a husband. He was a reliable, although irritable sometimes, young man who she knew would protect her daughter with his very last breath. She sighed a bit wistfully, thinking of her own deceased husband. She missed him terribly at times like this, but knew Kagome did too. She smiled at her daughter who was absolutely glowing with the happiness of graduating and being with the man she loved.
"Well I had better go after your brother. You know Souta; he's probably run off to find an arcade. Forget it's across town, anything for those video games of his." Kagome laughed and nodded, hugging her mother tightly as Inuyasha stood idly by.
"Tell the squirt to come visit us when he gets out of school too. I told him when I saw him earlier but he probably wasn't listening." Mrs. Higurashi laughed at the correct assessment of her son and gave her assurances that she would relay the message. She then said her goodbyes to her daughter and soon to be son in law then bustled off in the direction she had last seen her high school aged son.
"So then Mate... We're alone again. The letch and Sango have disappeared, assumedly so that he can get her to see the wonders of Disney, your mother the shutterbug has gone off to find the virtual reality junkie and it's just you and me..." Inuyasha stated leadingly. Kagome gave him a sly smile, quickly catching on to his none too subtle hint. She ran her index finger across his lip, causing him to suck in his breath at the gentle touch. "Kagome, don't tease," he whispered. She smiled softly as she pulled his head down for a quick kiss, and then kissed the tip of his fuzzy ear.
"I've barely gotten started. Just you wait Mate. You're in for it when we get back to the dorm," she whispered in his ear just before licking it quickly. Inuyasha growled deeply, pulling her flush against his chest. The heat between them was nearly tangible and people in the vicinity moved away a bit uncomfortable with the obvious feelings flowing between the couple.
"Well we'd better get there pretty damn fast then, huh?" Inuyasha smirked before sweeping Kagome into his arms. He took off toward their dorm at an amazing pace, faster than Kagome had ever seen, let alone experienced, him run. She clung to him helplessly as he darted around trees and up hills, stopping only to look for traffic on the busy campus side streets, darting over cars in one leap if necessary. Getting to the dorm took all of five minutes when it should have taken at least thirty from the stadium where graduation was held. Inuyasha didn't bother with the elevator, opting for shooting up the stairs with Kagome held firmly against his chest. They arrived at his door and he didn't even set her down to fish out his key. The door was swung open, Inuyasha carrying Kagome over the threshold, and kicked shut and locked by the "bride" with a flick of her wrist. "You're beautiful, even all windblown like that," Inuyasha chuckled quietly.
"Thanks. I could say the same for you." Kagome chewed her lip gently, waiting for Inuyasha to do something. He continued to hold her for a bit longer, nuzzling her cheek and throat softly. "Inuyasha? Baby?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you just going to do this all night or are you going to put me down?" she asked quietly, not really minding the tender brushed of his nose against her skin. She could also feel him softly sniffing her, knowing he was checking her scent.
"I'm just... I don't know. I was noticing how my scent is all over you. I like it that way." He then leaned back to look her in the eye. "But soon it will be a part of your scent and I can't wait for that," he said with a rakish grin.
"Is that so?" Kagome asked with a quirk of a delicate eyebrow. The smirk on her mate-to-be's face was nothing short of predatory as he slowly kneeled on the floor, still holding her close to his chest.
"Just you wait Kagome. Mate. Just you wait."
------------------------------------------
So that's the seventh installment of Dorm Life. No hate mail please. We're all about peace and love here... in... well in my dorm room. The Disney thing... joke about my suitemate and her boyfriend. Long story short... or the moral to it anyway... Disney music is not enough cover for moans... nor is it right. Somehow I think Walt would find it just about as disturbing as I do. Use Barry White at least! The mood is better set that way than to "A Whole New World." Shakes head Alright, enough of that. Please review!! Thanks for sticking around those of you that have been poking and prodding me to update.
Disclaimer: I have not, nor will I ever own Inuyasha or his companions... though I really wish I could just borrow him for minute or... five. I promise I'll return him!
---------------------------
"Inuyasha," Kagome said breathlessly. He grunted in response, not looking up from his point of fascination. "We're graduating tomorrow! I just... I just can't believe it!" He nodded absently still enrapt in the highly addictive game that was Snood. When her boyfriend still didn't respond to her she stomped over to him and tweaked his furry little ear.
"Ow woman! That hurts!" he growled, nursing the offended appendage. Kagome glared down at him and Inuyasha definitely didn't need their link to understand what she was thinking and feeling. He sighed, turned in his chair and patted his knee for Kagome to sit down. She obliged him, although grudgingly, and rested against him when his arms wrapped around her waist. "I'm excited too. Though... you are acting like a thirteen year old girl about this." His arm was smacked and he laughed quietly, pressing a soft kiss to the side of her neck.
"I can't help it. I just can't quite believe we're finally going to be done with school. Inuyasha?" He hummed. "Are you as nervous about this as I am?"
"About what?" She fidgeted in his lap which he quickly put a stop to, knowing where it would force his thoughts all too soon. Kagome silently apologized to her mate-to-be, also knowing what she did to him sometimes. The gods knew how he did the same thing to her all the time.
"We're going to be going out into the real world soon. Looking for real jobs, living in an apartment of our own and..." She hesitated but Inuyasha caught the flow of her thoughts easily. He placed another kiss on her pulse, rumbling gently at the same time to calm her a little.
"Are you nervous about becoming mates Kagome?" he asked quietly. She shook her head but Inuyasha could tell there was something about the subject that made her edgy. He tried to gently probe her mind through their bond but he couldn't find a specific thing that would cause her to be so apprehensive. She sighed and turned to face him, tracing a finger across his nose, cheekbones and his lips. He watched her seriously, trying to determine what was wrong.
"It's just all a very big change. I mean, we're going to be on our own in the world without anyone to hold our hands. We have to do things for ourselves and we'll be... we'll be mates, married soon. It's just a lot to take in, you know?" Inuyasha smiled and took Kagome's hands into his own.
"Kagome, I'm right here with you and I always will be. We're not alone because we have each other goof ball." She smiled and he kissed the end of her nose. "I'm sure you're going to go out there and become an amazing teacher. Your professors all seem to think so and I know so. If you can get me to remember all the dates and countries of both World War one and two, then you can do anything." Kagome beamed at him, making him smile as well. One thing was for sure, if Kagome was happy, he was happy and he would do anything to make her happy. A tint of uncertainty tinged her thoughts and Inuyasha looked at her in confusion.

"Tell the squirt to come visit us when he gets out of school too. I told him when I saw him earlier but he probably wasn't listening." Mrs. Higurashi laughed at the correct assessment of her son and gave her assurances that she would relay the message. She then said her goodbyes to her daughter and soon to be son in law then bustled off in the direction she had last seen her high school aged son.
"So then Mate... We're alone again. The letch and Sango have disappeared, assumedly so that he can get her to see the wonders of Disney, your mother the shutterbug has gone off to find the virtual reality junkie and it's just you and me..." Inuyasha stated leadingly. Kagome gave him a sly smile, quickly catching on to his none too subtle hint. She ran her index finger across his lip, causing him to suck in his breath at the gentle touch. "Kagome, don't tease," he whispered. She smiled softly as she pulled his head down for a quick kiss, and then kissed the tip of his fuzzy ear.
"I've barely gotten started. Just you wait Mate. You're in for it when we get back to the dorm," she whispered in his ear just before licking it quickly. Inuyasha growled deeply, pulling her flush against his chest. The heat between them was nearly tangible and people in the vicinity moved away a bit uncomfortable with the obvious feelings flowing between the couple.

She clung to him helplessly as he darted around trees and up hills, stopping only to look for traffic on the busy campus side streets, darting over cars in one leap if necessary. Getting to the dorm took all of five minutes when it should have taken at least thirty from the stadium where graduation was held. Inuyasha didn't bother with the elevator, opting for shooting up the stairs with Kagome held firmly against his chest. They arrived at his door and he didn't even set her down to fish out his key. The door was swung open, Inuyasha carrying Kagome over the threshold, and kicked shut and locked by the "bride" with a flick of her wrist. "You're beautiful, even all windblown like that," Inuyasha chuckled quietly.
"Thanks. I could say the same for you." Kagome chewed her lip gently, waiting for Inuyasha to do something. He continued to hold her for a bit longer, nuzzling her cheek and throat softly. "Inuyasha? Baby?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you just going to do this all night or are you going to put me down?" she asked quietly, not really minding the tender brushed of his nose against her skin. She could also feel him softly sniffing her, knowing he was checking her scent.
"I'm just... I don't know. I was noticing how my scent is all over you. I like it that way." He then leaned back to look her in the eye. "But soon it will be a part of your scent and I can't wait for that," he said with a rakish grin.
"Is that so?" Kagome asked with a quirk of a delicate eyebrow. The smirk on her mate-to-be's face was nothing short of predatory as he slowly kneeled on the floor, still holding her close to his chest.
"Just you wait Kagome. Mate. Just you wait."

So that's the seventh installment of Dorm Life. No hate mail please. We're all about peace and love here... in... well in my dorm room. The Disney thing... joke about my suitemate and her boyfriend. Long story short... or the moral to it anyway... Disney music is not enough cover for moans... nor is it right. Somehow I think Walt would find it just about as disturbing as I do. Use Barry White at least! The mood is better set that way than to "A Whole New World." Shakes head Alright, enough of that. Please review!! Thanks for sticking around those of you that have been poking and prodding me to update.
