Chapter 6
Inuyasha wakes up from his unconsciousness. He wraps me in his arms and kisses me. Kisses me until I feel as though I am deaf, blind, and utterly stupid.
I wake up with my lips upon Inuyasha's. Both our eyes pop open at the same time. I can see my brown irises reflected in his gold ones. Oh my God, I am kissing Inuyasha! I'm so shocked that I hop off his lap and stare at him as he carefully gets up.
"Ummmm," he murmurs. "That was a . . . umm."
"That was an accident. I didn't mean to-"
He laughs, interrupting me. His laugh is husky, and oh-so-sexy. "I know you didn't. I kissed you." He takes a step toward me and I back away.
"Why?"
"Because."
"Did you mean what you said in my dream?"
He contemplates, and I am almost positive he'll go back to his callous self and say no, it was just a dream. "Yes."
My jaw drops, and he seizes my speechlessness as an opportunity. He presses his open mouth upon mine. My legs tremble and finally my knees give out. He catches me by wrapping his arm around my waist, and thrusts his free hand into my thick hair.
We finally break apart, knowing that something has obvious changed between us, within us. We stare into each others eyes, searching for that change.
Then I say, "I love you, too, Inuyasha," and reach for him.
