There wasn't that much planning needed. Save money, find a hotel, and pick a date. Time was the biggest issue and it would've been perfect to go during winter break, as she had almost a full month off, but didn't have a few thousand dollars lying around. She wanted to pay for her travel and expenses, but there was only a few hundred left in savings after hospital costs. Extra money from spring financial aid would be a big help, but not in time until January.
Inaki offered to pay for tickets and she any extra expenses, as he had more money, but pride wouldn't let her give in. He said they had plenty of time before spring classes and should take advantage of it while they had it; also that she could get answers faster.
Of course an argument ensued. Inaki assumed Inuyasha's protector role and wanted her to do as he said and let him take care of her. Kagome's temper sparked at that and it took a passerby - talks were held at the beach for privacy from all known parties - to ask if she was okay. She was amused at the thought of Inaki being labeled an attacker; he was all bark and no bite...just like Inuyasha.
It was hard to swallow her pride, but she compromised and gave him the remainder of her savings to help buy tickets and started hoarding extra cash from checks. Inaki told her he would make arrangements with a hotel, and after more arguing she gave in. She had classes and two jobs; he made his own hours. Free time was not on her side. She didn't get paid the amount of money he could borrow...she knew he would end up shelling out for the hotel as well and that grated on people-having-to-pay-for-her nerves.
She didn't know a good time to go and asked about holidays to be wary of, so out of touch at being Japanese. Crowds were not a good thing when looking for a shrine and graveyard. Thankfully there weren't a whole lot in December. She wanted to be with everyone on Christmas as well, so opted to leave as soon as finals were over.
She got lucky her last test was early Wednesday. She took that night off from work to pack and double-check she had everything. A list helped of course, but it would never fail that she forget to write something down.
Thursday sped all too fast and now she was giving the room a final once-over, ignoring Sam in the doorway. "He's going to come barreling in here and tear your head off if you don't get your butt downstairs and by that door to watch for him."
"I can deal with him."
"I bet." Amused blue followed her across the room. "So what time does your plane leave?"
"In one hour."
"And when did he leave?"
"Twenty minutes ago."
"When are you going to be back?"
"The twenty-fourth."
Sam grinned. "And HOW much stuff are you going to buy me?"
She stopped near pacing and stared at her friend, brown rolling soon after. "As much as they'll allow through customs. Oh crap, that reminds me; I need to sort this so it's easier to shift through!"
Sam stopped directly behind and grabbed a chunk of sweater. "You are done packing. Come with me."
"Let go of the hem! Stop dragging me - you're cutting off my air!"
The pair stopped in the hallway and faced each other. "Then take a few deep breaths and stop worrying." Hand rested on shoulder as Sam took on a serious look. "I can't believe you're doing this, but you know I support you. I just can't imagine why you're going with him to sightsee NOW. And you let him pay for everything? I'm amazed you didn't try to chip in."
She gave a tiny, nervous smile, feeling a twinge of guilt. She hadn't told Sam the truth, but how could she? Saying she was going on almost pure business and something pertaining to her past life would never be accepted. Even if she kept it vague, Sam would still want details. This was all she could do and though she used to tell Sam everything, that stopped with this topic.
"Yea well...he doesn't want to leave me alone more than he has to and I can see why."
Blue rolled. "You guys are too mushy for my tastes."
A sly grin formed. "Whatever happened to you WANTING us that way?"
"I'm not talking cavities here!"
She giggled and whirled for the door. "Keep an ear out and let me know when he's here." She listened to Sam grumble all the way downstairs.
Really there wasn't much else to pack. If she went by the list she had everything, but it never hurt to be careful. Last thing she wanted to forget was something important.
She sat at the foot of the bed and started repacking, trying to put things that might draw suspicion to the top to be easily seen. Of course customs would go through her clothes before leaving and arriving, but if things could get less than ruffled, she'd be happy.
It was ironic Sam couldn't believe she was going all the way across the world. Now that she was actually going, unease and a little fear crept up just thinking about what she'd need to do. She didn't know if she'd be able to look upon her mama's headstone or jiisan's. Trying to imagine it brought tears to her eyes and heavy sadness.
Her shoulders drooped a little as the garment in her hands rested in her lap. Dull brown stared at her things. She couldn't help but get depressed; it was inevitable. 'I'll need Inaki there as much as he needed me for Mira-san's funeral. In all the time I traveled back to the Sengoku, my family was always home waiting...going through their own lives even when mine ground to a halt.' Tears lined her eyes. She could barely picture their faces now. They would come to her in dreams, visions of Kagome's life, but during reality it was hard to grasp. Brown squeezed shut, arms wrapping around herself. 'Dame...dame da! This whole trip will be wasted because I can't make myself walk up the area to their markers! The shrine won't make it easy on me and I can't visit mama and jiisan first.' She sniffled and took a deep breath, trying to keep from breaking down.
A hand suddenly grabbed the crown of her head, fisting some of her hair, and gently tugged back. She startled and nearly screamed in surprise, also doing a number on her neck at the angle. "Doushita?"
She blinked in surprise and checked the clock. Did she waste that much time already?? "Ah! I wanted to be ready and done by the time you got here, but then I figured I'd make it easier on my things at the airport and -" She made to stand and the second she was on her feet she was drug back by a pair of arms around her waist. Warmth instantly seeped through sweater and lips lightly drug across the exposed skin of her neck. The breath left her in a shaky whoosh. The tension left as her heart sped and body warmed up.
"Stop worrying so much...I know why you want to go and I don't intend on standing around. I'll be there for you because I know you need me for that."
Her nose burned as tears lined her eyes again. She couldn't speak in a strong voice, so merely nodded. "Un..."
He gave one last squeeze before releasing her and grabbing shirt off floor. "Now, we need to get you done and done before you take up any more time. Don't worry about your stuff - if customs doesn't screw with everything, then baggage loading will. Just fix everything once we're in the hotel."
She was mildly annoyed as he tossed the shirt in, apparently not caring if it wrinkled. "Don't do that yourself, you have no tact on how to pack. I bet I should look through your things to make sure you didn't wad them in a ball."
"Keh...you think I packed my own things?? Ofukuro wouldn't let me and did it for me, even though I tried to make her stop. They're happy I'm going to see Japan and wanted to do something for me. Not like they can really GIVE me the money I needed since I worked over half of it off."
She glared. "Yea yea, rub that in my face while you're at it. Geez, I already know I don't make as much as you ever will."
Brown rolled, which only added to the boiling point. "Now you're reading into things. I wasn't doing any such thing." A finger snaked out and poked her stomach with a grin. "I'm supposed to be the one with the attitude here, not you. Let's leave Inuyasha's qualities with me, ne?"
It sounded like he was patronizing her, but maybe that WAS Inuyasha's quick anger working...or maybe it was Kagome. Either way, her temper sparked and hands itched to yank a fist of loose hair in aggravation.
He merely smiled at how riled she got and stepped closer, ignoring anything she could do. "Here now...we've no time to get into a small argument you'll be starting."
"Atashi?!"
He grunted and the smile widened. "Aa. You're the one who's pissed, not me. I still retained a lot of my levelheadedness you know. Maybe you should look for yours and stop feeding off of Kagome's."
"Why you...YOU -"
He pulled her against his chest and kissed her, doubly offsetting her. If only Inuyasha had the guts to do that to Kagome back then, the fighting would've definitely stopped.
Or at least making up would've been a lot nicer.
He pulled away as hands fisted shirt and her body trembled. He didn't want to work her up too much, also working himself up, and then not want to leave. He nibbled on her chin for good measure, smiling when the breath rushed from her lungs. "Feeling better now?"
"You're...not fair..." She mumbled, eyes closed in bliss.
He thoroughly enjoyed the look on her face, but tried not to laugh at how easy it was. "Maybe I'll finish what I start later, ne?"
"Ee..." She already anticipated a time that was so long in coming. Months since they were together, but she was still able to imagine those few times.
Her head shook and she mentally chided herself. 'Don't be so shameful to get yourself worked up that you jump him.' Her face heated and she tried to hide it and hurried to her suitcase to finish packing.
She was thankful Inaki chose a relatively short flight...as short as one could get for going across the planet. She wasn't much for flying, even if she rode Inuyasha's back quite often - one would think she'd be used to the whole up and down sensation by now. But spending some nineteen hours on a plane with only one stop quickly got old and sleep only did so much. She didn't have any texts to bring and sorely wished for something to throw herself into.
Old textbooks helped until the plane touched down for fuel. They got a quick look around in San Francisco and both tried to see as much as possible before leaving. Neither drifted very far around their hometowns, let alone the state line.
It was the first time she got to see snow.
Sure Kagome lived in a climate that allowed for freezing temperatures, but she wasn't one hundred percent Kagome anymore, nor was this a hundred years ago. Past greenhouse gasses and whatnot rose the degrees a little and the damage would take longer than one century to undue.
She headed outside without a second thought and was blasted with cold. It was way chillier here than in Miami - given the location, that was a no duh - and that was something else experienced for the first time. Never was there a cold that took the breath from her lungs or nipped her nose and cheeks red. Home, and even Inaki's town, never got below freezing. To see ice lining slight patches of untrodden sidewalk and road, finding it clinging to tree branches, was a small piece of heaven and wonder.
Apparently it hadn't snowed lately...or if it did, it melted and froze again. She judged from the condition of what lined curbs, pieces of landscape, and piled against the glass next to entryways. She always thought snow was soft and never held when a person stepped on it, always squashing flat in an instant. This was a twist and it was nice to think about.
They had enough time to go and look around, so she did. She led the way farther past the doors, barely paying attention to Inaki's whining about the cold as he followed her before they got lost. He complained about her taking off without telling him and grabbed part of her jacket to keep her from going any further when she kept walking.
"That's enough outa you. Where do you think you are - Florida??"
Excited, antsy brown looked his way. "Isn't it beautiful?" She gushed, breath heavily fogging. She didn't give him another glance and turned back to take in the glitter of partially cloudy weather.
Brown rolled, but he looked and had to agree. Of course he was the one with cable tv and knew what snow looked like, but never ventured far enough north to look at it in person. Sure it was fucking FREEZING outside, but there was a picturesque quality to it. Even the people rushing around them, nearly bumping into them - taking all this for granted and even growling about it - added to the scene.
"Can you believe how many are complaining?" She murmured, head shaking. "Course I suppose it's a different story when you're exposed to it all your life... The cold, the slippery roads, the heating bills..." She grinned. "Sam would LOVE this place."
He chuckled and wrapped arms around her, drawing her against him so she wasn't in her own little heaven without him. "Maybe she'd stop bitching about the heat."
"She's just a pansy." She inhaled crisp air and sighed in appreciation. "You think Tokyo will be like this?"
"Who knows? Did you bother to check the weather there before you left?"
She snorted. "Like I have ANY means to do so. You're the one with a computer. I was just curious is all. I brought some winter and a few clothes for warmer weather if that's the case. You make sure to pack for everything?"
"I didn't pack my things remember? I'm sure ofukuro knew what she was doing though. I'm not worried." He was silent for a few more minutes before raising an arm and checking the time. "We should get some food before getting back on. We've got some time."
A sly grin tipped her lips. "You just don't want to admit you're cold."
"Keh! I'm more resilient than that! After all, I'm still half of him and he gave me some of that 'thick-skin' when I was born too. I've also got a thick enough jacket on."
The smile widened. "Then why are you hugging me so tightly?"
Brown didn't look amused, even if the tiny shivering would get him caught. "Baka." He muttered, bumping his head against hers. "I'm going to go in a controlled environment and stand right outside and watch you freeze your ass off. Then I'LL be the one picking on you."
Brown rolled, though she was still grinning. "You go right ahead. Make sure our carry-on is still safe where we hid it too. And go see if this city has anything good to eat."
He growled as good as he could for a human and gave black a gentle yank. "Bossy little ojou-san aren't you? Do-this, do-that...what am I, a servant?"
She didn't want to dignify that with a response, but couldn't help it. "If you have to ask..." She laughed when he scoffed and stepped away as he made to tickle her.
"I don't have to stand here and take this!" He strode inside, feeling a little playful at her humor, and gave it more for show than anything.
Black swished at his behavior, but she put it aside and turned to the small view. It was lined with different kinds of vehicles, skeletons of sleeping trees, and a rainbow of people, but none of that mattered. This was an experience that would live with her and she didn't wish for this to be extended. She liked being forced to enjoy this with a relatively small timeframe, it just made it that much more special.
After all, when would she be doing this again?
Sure it was cold outside, but she could stand to shiver for a bit and a small part whispered that she could stand it. She'd be stubborn just to piss off Inaki and show she wasn't THAT flimsy. The sun was a nice touch and thankfully clouds were far away enough so they didn't cover her only heat source.
It felt good to experience this on her own. The initial minutes with Inaki were nice, but she got the same feeling when at the beach. The peace which rose every time she watched the waves was equal to the stillness and simplicity around. With a thought, she strode to a pile and stuck a hand through. She didn't own a pair of gloves and definitely felt the temperature as she brought hand to eye.
The top layer was like a chunk of ice almost, but underneath was powder dry snow. She let some of it fall, watching the rest melt and redden her palm. She imagined she looked like an oddball with her actions - after all it was just snow...
The hand moved and wiped across jeans to dry off. The general temperature was doing damage and she stuck hand in jacket to warm it. 'Suppose I should head in now.' She twisted and waited long enough for the sliding glass doors to part, getting blasted from the ceiling by a powered heat vent in the process. It felt good and she resisted the urge to stand there and block the entrance.
When she got back to the small spot they claimed, she found Inaki with his nose in a book. A brow rose. Trying not to get annoyed, she strode over and stopped above him, though he didn't look up. "Whatever happened to watching me from the windows? Nice waiting."
He grinned and flipped a page. "I AM waiting for you...rather calmly at that. You're lucky I didn't feel dramatic and fall asleep on the chair. I could've done that whole annoying comatose spectacle."
She pulled the book from his hands and idly looked to it despite his protest. "You can read this on the plane. Let's go get some food, ne?"
"Hai..."
The trip to California seemed long enough, but across the ocean was murder to her boredom. It was a little nerve-wracking to cross an entire ocean without any way to stop for fuel or if something went wrong. Thinking of the plane crashing in the middle of winter ocean currents started a nice little panic session Inaki spent at least ten minutes trying to calm without getting others freaked or trying to help.
She was so happy to see Japan again it actually brought tears to her eyes. Her life up till Kagome seemed like one long vacation and when Mount Fuji became more detailed it was hard to remind herself who she was. The ache to see the shrine and walk the streets she took to go to high school burned her heart until she resisted the silly urge to parachute and finally touch down.
Hearing a Japanese announcer in the terminal, English accompanying that of course, was like music. A smile wouldn't leave as she handed the carry-on to customs and answered him in fluent Japanese instead of the English he directed at her. She tried not to laugh at the stunned look as she rambled from excitement and apologized for not saying she knew his language. She knew Ella's ancestry was going to get her a lot of misunderstanding for knowledge versus looks and hoped to be able to deal with it.
Leaving the doors mildly assailed her with an aura of jyaki she felt dimmed from plane height. Even that high in the air, higher than the mountain, she could feel the faint presence of youkai. Either there were more than the shikon predicted or her powers developed that well since Kagome's 'resurrection'.
It was hard to describe the feeling and intensity. Kind of like a fine mist one could barely see except when the sun was just rising in the morning and enough shadows to make density for sight. The feel was so faint, but still there...like squinting to see something almost out of visual range. The feel of it was nostalgic to both past lives and though she felt more like Kagome than Kikyou, she felt like she belonged here.
It was good to be home.
Sure there were some youkai in Kagome's time - one would wonder how they managed to survive the era of machines - and this was just a tad less than a century ago. Maybe the difference was Naraku's death; since he did have a tendency to suck up youkai faster than miko and houshi could kill them. Maybe villagers past the Sengoku decided not to hate them and visa versa.
Her head shook as they headed straight for one of the awaiting taxi services for foreigners. Whatever happened after Naraku's defeat and Kagome's death she didn't need to think about. She had enough to worry about in the last hundred years alone.
"Ochanomizu St Hills Hotel please."
She looked out the window as buildings came into view and parking lot faded. How the place changed! Sure Tokyo was crowded to accommodate so many people along the coast, but taller buildings adorned the sky...much like pictures she saw of New York.
She sat back, a little disappointed. But what could one expect? She didn't know how westernized Japan would come, since everything came at rapid pace since the Meiji era. Even Kagome's family ate at a table and chairs instead of the floor, beds instead of actual futons. Inaki's household held somewhat traditional things in it, which was ironic considering the timeline.
Brown craned backward when an arm draped over her shoulder. She gave a halfhearted smile, feeling a little comforted in the familiarity of his touch, but still downhearted at her findings. The gap since her last life was offsetting her and she didn't like being so out of place, yet knowing she felt right here.
Japan would soon disappear and the only people who knew what it really used to be, what it started out as, were those who were no longer themselves. Kagome and Inuyasha knew what tradition was because they lived in the strict version of male and female roles. Now everything seemed to change with European ways of thinking and the young changing the molds.
Black brows furrowed as confusion entered his eyes. She knew he wondered why she was sad when not ten seconds ago she was so happy. Her head shook as she turned to the driver. The man didn't need to hear anything she had to say - it wasn't being rude, but she was now as much a foreigner as Kagome was in the Sengoku...she had to know how everyone did things here before opening her mouth and saying what for anyone to hear.
The pair exited after a mildly long ride through traffic and distance. The driver helped get their bags from the trunk and someone out front waved someone out and they drug a metal carrying cart with them. "So I hear this thing was built almost at the year two thousand." He said, placing a suitcase on the cart. Brown looked up to the many stories they would be staying for the week. "Quite an impressive piece of metal and glass. Nice horticulture too."
"Thank you sir, you are very kind. I will take you both to the check in and help take your things upstairs." They both nodded and followed the bellhop to the main doors. "What room are you two staying in?"
"The Q Room." He answered, pulling information from a pocket.
The bellhop cast a quick glance her way, one she couldn't really discern, and a brow rose in query. The man immediately stopped and turned in a bow. "Forgive me miss," He replied in English. "I did not mean to offend."
She smiled. "Your English is very good." She answered, mentally smiling at his look from Kagome's Japanese skills. "I am not offended, please don't worry." She put a calming hand on the man's shoulder to show he did no harm. "Can you tell us about our rooms?"
A smile directed her way as the man gave a quick bow and they continued. "It is very pretty. There is not much in the room, but it is traditional and supposed to be that way. There is a table for eating, futons stored in a closet, and a window for fresh air. We have what you would call a niche with something simple to admire as well."
Check-in was quick and she was thankful the bellman stayed with them. He stood next to the cart until they finished and continued to lead them to the place necessary. They went up a few floors and down a small walk until shoji was opened and an empty floor greeted her. She smiled at it anyway and strolled in, immediately opening the window to see the view.
She didn't pay attention until a pair of hands slowly snaked over her waist and his chest pressed against her back. "Well I got rid of the guy." Lips idly moved over the top of her ear. "What do you want to do first? Shrine? Graves? Food? ...OTHER?"
She knew what he meant by other - hell his tone insinuated it - but was too embarrassed to do anything when people were up and about. What if someone knocked?? Shoji was paper and you could see a flashlight shine from the other side of it.
The tingling she was going through didn't help and it made both thinking and deciding hard. "You're doing this to taunt me, aren't you?" She breathed, head tilting a little.
"Mm, maybe..." Teeth lightly caught flesh. "But you looked kind of depressed and I had to get you out of it."
She gave the sky a mild flat look. "Is that how you're going to calm me down EVERY time?"
"Would you like me to stop?" She didn't answer, but he got the answer from the pounding of her heart as his hand slid over it and pressed against her backside. "Remember what I said about finishing what I started..."
"Mm hmm..."
"Well...we'll wait until tonight for that. You can do your other things later; I want to go sightseeing and get some food."
She promptly turned around and slapped shoulder. "Then stop working me up only to stop! What are you trying to prove, ne??"
Hands held up in defense, though he tried not to grin. "Nothing, nothing I swear." Brown gave a quick up and down look to her body. "I just couldn't help myself."
She blushed a little and whirled to the window. "You're horrible."
His chin went to her shoulder and lightly bumped their heads together. "You say that like it's a bad thing..."
She heaved a sigh, but smiled a little at his behavior. He could make her angry, laugh, cry, grin, and love him all in the span of a minute. How he did it was just him and she didn't know if she wanted him to stop tempting her anger or not.
Making up was still pretty fun.
They spent the day taking trains and going across pedestrian walks. It was the worst case of déjà vu in spots, but it was going to remain that bad. There was no getting around the emotion of feeling like you were in a certain location and with her chances were good that Kagome had.
It was nice to put off what she came here for, even if thinking about it still did no good. She knew it needed to be done and was finally here, but arriving meant she was actually going to through with it all. She was putting herself through hell by fretting so much, so they would get started tomorrow in locating the shrine. The looking around helped familiarize her again so she didn't anticipate too much trouble.
"Are you still awake?"
She blinked and tried to look behind. "Yea...I thought you weren't."
"I'm enjoying this, why should I go to sleep?" She smiled and turned back to stare at the wall. It was hard to see in such poor, almost nonexistent lighting, but her eyes adjusted by now. "You're going to need all the sleep you can get. He's not going to let you snooze in very long you know."
"Will YOU be able to fall asleep tonight?"
"I'll be okay. Don't worry about that."
She twisted, jarring the resting place of his arm, and faced him with worry lacing her eyes. "Are you serious when you say you can't really sleep anymore??"
Brown rolled, though her concern was nice. "Inuyasha stayed up for days at a time because he was trying to keep alert for danger with you guys. He learned to go without sleep and only rest when he could to keep his energy up. I got that from him, but it's a change from doing nothing but sleeping until I couldn't anymore."
"That still doesn't seem fair..." She muttered, looking to his collarbone.
"Hey." Arms wrapped around her and managed to tug her a little closer. An arm trapped between their chests and she snaked one over his waist to keep it from cramping. "Don't make me force you to see my point here. I'm not freaking about something this small. It's not that hard to sleep because he and I merged on that part and it balances out well enough. I just wake up earlier and sleep lighter is all." Teeth reached out and nipped her nose. "Quit saying anything about it or you'll annoy me."
She stared at him for a while and then nodded. She snuggled against his chest, inhaling his smell as he always did to her and relaxed at the ease it gave. A quick kiss went to the exposed section of his neck, lingering longer than necessary and halting his breathing. She couldn't help a sly smile and pulled back enough to talk. "What were you saying about finishing something?"
Hand gripped hair and pulled her back for a searing kiss. Fingers massaged scalp and she was glad to be lying down for fear her legs would give out. He finally pulled away and started rubbing lip over her cheeks. "I did say that, didn't I?"
Anticipation reared, but she was getting annoyed at his procrastination. She wanted to pin him down and press against him to get him going, but the mere thought sent a blush over her face. Kagome was brave and did things in the face of danger, but she wasn't THAT courageous.
Something else they had in common.
She nearly yelped when she was pinned on her back, hands above head, knees being nudged apart. The blankets made it hard, but he seemed to like the slow pace. He finally settled between her legs and propped himself up to stare at her. She was a little self-conscious at the intensity of his gaze, even if it was soft, and pulled his head down for a kiss.
It was all the encouragement he needed. He was no longer Inaki and she was no longer Kalie. It would be the first time Inuyasha made love to Kagome and the thought was both exciting and anxious. He already had K once, but circumstances were different and as silly as it was he worried about what she'd think in the next few minutes. He needn't put himself through the wringer like that, especially with the kiss, but it was a male pride thing.
Inuyasha being as prideful as he was didn't make it easy.
Their clothes quickly became too heavy for his tastes and a hand tiptoed lower and brushed under her nightshirt. K went to Kagome's taste in pajamas, but at least they were button-up. He changed position and straddled her legs, fingers removing each button agonizingly slow. She was watching his every move, eyes hooded, body trembling the barest of degrees.
He pulled both sides to tatami and stared. She was just so perfect in his eyes and he leaned down to lavish her body with attention he thought she deserved. She shivered when lips contacted skin. Hands kept him braced, hair falling over in waves to shadow his face and their bodies from the outside world. It hid her from everything but his eyes - the way he preferred it - and tickled her skin. Her breasts puckered and he tantalizingly licked his way up her rib cage and stopped to wrap lips around a tiny bud.
She panted, head thrown back what she could, eyes closed in bliss. Her body was humming and racing with adrenaline and heat. They were meant to be, even like this, and right now she didn't regret any decision made by merging with her other self. It felt right, like everything was okay with the world. Hands came up and dove in his hair, gently massaging and clenching when he made a nerve buzz.
He shifted higher to her neck and teeth wrapped around skin, her heart fluttering underneath. His hips shifted down a little, quietly groaning when he made contact. She gasped and whimpered, nails pressing against his shirt. He wondered how much he'd scar by the time they finished tonight. The thought made him smile, but he squelched it and sat up.
Wordlessly, he took her hands and stopped them at the hem of his shirt. She quickly grasped his intent and practically yanked the article off his torso. Her lips mimicked him, hands brushing over his skin to feel him. She was almost frantic in her actions, if not predatory. The thought of her in control sent a rush through his blood. He didn't mind her taking the reigns, as it was quite the turn on for her to show him what she wanted, and he was tempted if he didn't want to do the same thing first.
This was Inuyasha's privilege, his first time. Ever. It was kind of amusing to know such a powerful, loud-mouthed warrior was so timid intimately. He pulled his own desire forward and decided to let Inuyasha's feelings sit back and experience.
This was definitely going to be interesting.
He pushed her down and sat in between her legs, a sly grin forming. She blushed, knowing what he was going to do, but her eyes told him to get on with it. He shifted back enough, trying not to discomfort himself, and inched the elastic hem down. His lips kissed the places cotton touched until he looked up in silent command for her to lift her hips up. She shifted and in a few yanks, was in nothing but underwear.
That wouldn't do either.
He swooped down and covered her lap, hands keeping hips from moving. She cried out, trying to keep from letting the whole hotel hear, head thrashing. The noises she was making were turning him on and he couldn't help himself at the pressure and speed he exerted to make her create them.
She was certainly enjoying his administrations, but the feeling of being empty - as odd as it was to describe - built and only he could decimate that. She moved after a few mental orders and propped herself up to look at him. "I...Inaki..." She whispered. Lustful brown glanced up in question, meeting equal passion baring down on him. "P - please...I need you...Don't make me wait anymore."
He didn't need anything else. He rolled to stand and shed his sweatpants, finding her staring in blunt appreciation. He grinned and kneeled, getting a yelp when arms crooked under knees and pulled her forward. Fingers trailed up a thigh and hooked around weak fabric. She helped him divest the last clothing and before she could think he entered her fully.
She choked on a gasp, barely hearing him groan. It took a second to remember to breathe and when she moved, arms pulled him to her. He moved excruciatingly slow and every thrust was delicious torture. Nails dug into his back as a meter of what he did. She felt wild at everything being brought to the surface. She wanted to suck on his neck, lick his skin...nibble on something even!
Arms shifted to brace himself. Gods this felt so damn good and he was torn at going faster or staying at this pace to enjoy the tirade of sensations. Her nails were going to break skin or leave some marks for a while unless he got her to stop. His body halted and pulled away to look at her. Hand brushed at bangs to see her eyes, gently kissing her. "Do you think you could use the pads of your fingers?"
An embarrassed smile came as she fought a simultaneous grimace. "Sorry... Think of it as what you do to me."
He smiled and slid in again watching brown roll in the back of her head. "I already have a pretty good idea."
She pulled him down for a fierce kiss at his chauvinism, taking his lower lip with her teeth and exerting a little pressure. His tongue swooped out and ran across her upper lip, getting a shiver.
She never thought she'd ever be this loud and SO did not want to alert those in every room around them, but it was kind of hard to rope it in when Inaki felt this good. She wasn't a big sex fiend, but had a feeling he was going to turn her into one after today. They had each other, they loved each other...this was the only other way to express it. The only way to try and make the other feel exactly the same thing.
He watched her when her orgasm overtook her. He could seriously get addicted to the look on her face, the way her body trembled, the feel of her muscles pulling at him. He moved faster to make her feel more, clutching at her when everything became too much.
They stayed that way when he completely stilled. Her legs remained wrapped around him, arms twined over his back, body throbbing. His breath heated her neck for what seemed the longest time before he pulled back and deeply kissed her. "That was a long time in coming." He murmured.
A smile made its way forward. "Yes, yes it was." She kidded, kissing him again.
He almost wanted to stay that way, but she was not going to be comfortable and moved back. Her warmth evaporated in the cold night and he shivered.
She shifted as he pulled her against his chest, feeling content and complete. Fingers entwined when his arm draped over her waist, ankles locking with hers.
She wanted to stay like this forever...not even falling asleep. She wanted to stay awake and listen to his breathing, revel in the feel of their body heat under the covers, the clash of their nakedness. But it'd been a long mental battle with what had yet to happen and the act just performed. She conked out in minutes and barely heard him whisper his love.
