Disclaimer: I do now own Inuyasha, nor any of the associated characters. But it ain't because I don't want or wish to do so.
A/N - Sorry for the late update. I have a number of the chapters to this fic already done, but have been hung up on chapter 38 for a while now. I know how I want it to come out, but just have not quite figured out how to get everyone to cooperate...LOL! I have decided that if I take out a broad sword and threaten a bit of purification, they will finally submit to their respective places. It is slow going, but seems to be working out. By way of apologies for the delay, I will be posting two chapters up today. Please enjoy, and as always, please review.
Chapter 29 - Springs of Bliss!
So lost in thought was he that it was her soft sigh that alerted him to her awakening. His hold on her tightened almost instinctively. She snuggled comfortably in his arms, and another sigh escaped her lips. She was content, safe, warm, and happy. The world outside just didn't exist anymore. All that mattered were the strong arms that surrounded her, and kept her safe from the world.
A clawed hand gently rubbed comforting circles on the small of her back. The warm breath that caressed her ear sent shivers down her spine, and a soft moan escaped her lips. She shifted slightly so that she could wrap her own arms around the strong, warm chest she rested against.
She could feel his warmth, even through their combined layers of clothing. This was always the place she most loved to be. Being held in his arms, and he held in hers, meant so much to her. Nothing in the world, nor across time, could match or be better than this one gift from him. Oh, if only she could stay here forever. If only, he would hold her like this for real. If only he could give to her, what she had given to him for the past four years. Her heart, her love, her soul.
But she knew that in his heart, the desire for another lay strong. She had known that from the beginning. Known it and even though it hurt with every breath she took, she continued to stand by him, walk beside him, be with him in all things save the one that she most longed for. While she regretted not being able to have her heart's inner most desire, she never regretted for even a moment the love she held for him. She could not have done so, even had she tried. She knew in her soul that to lose him, to not be with him, to not be there for him, would mean her own death. For she could not live without Inuyasha.
Again she sighed, and again that heated breath softly caressing the skin by her ear, sent shivers of warmth down her spine. It seemed to settle in the pit of her stomach, and caused a warm tingle in her most private regions. As it did, another soft moan escaped her.
This time, the hanyou shifted. Just a little. Almost as though he were afraid. 'Afraid of what?' she wondered. Was there danger nearby?
As this thought crossed her mind, images of that night suddenly began to make themselves known. She shuddered at those memories. The pain, the fear, the horror, all threatening to overwhelm her again. Those wonderful and caring arms, so strong and protective, spoke in a language that required no words. Their message was beautiful in their simplicity, but was no less important for being so.
'We are here,' they said. 'We are here for you! We will not let anything or anyone hurt you again. You are safe now, safe and loved!'
In the back of her mind she could feel the strength of a comforting presence. It felt as though another strong, protective form held her, offering to help shield her from those horrible visions. It seemed to whisper in the back of her mind, that all was right with the world, and those who had caused her harm, had been brought to justice, unable to harm anyone ever again. With that protective sense of offered strength, and the warm and comforting embrace of the hanyou she so loved with every fiber of her being, she relaxed once more and let the memories fade to be replaced by the warmth and trust of Inuyasha's protective embrace.
Inuyasha shifted again, but this time it was to lift her in his arms. Standing he turned and headed into the night. She knew not where he was taking her, and she didn't care. She would go anywhere with him, even to hell and back, and had in fact done just that many times over the past four years. If it meant being with him, she would give everything she was, and do so happily without remorse.
It was but a matter of moments, when he stopped, and still holding her in the safety of his arms, he set her on her feet. For long moments, he just stood there, holding her. Holding her like he was afraid that to let her go would be for her to fade from his reality, never to return. Again that warm breath caressed her ear. It felt so wonderful and once again a shiver passed along her spine causing a soft moan to once more escape.
Encouraged by the results of his actions, Inuyasha nuzzled into her hair and to the nape of her neck. Again that soft, heated breath, only this time it was lower down, and immediately followed by the gentle caress of warm lips, and the hot stroke of an almost panting tongue. Her whole body shuddered in delight at the caress, the images of horror rapidly fading to be replaced by a blissful memory to last a lifetime.
She tilted her head freely offering more of her throat to his ministrations. He could do with her anything he wanted, and she would not, could not stop him even if she had wanted to. The feel of his fangs upon her rapidly heating flesh, left her groaning in pleasure, and she could feel the dampness growing between her thighs. She was putty, and his arms and kisses were the tools molding her to their whim and desires.
Inuyasha ran his hands down her back, gently caressing her sides, her waist, her hips. He paused when he reached the swell of her hips, and squeeze both cheeks, pulling her closer to him. He felt her heated core as he pressed her closer to him, and the delightful groan that engendered, along with the heady scent of her arousal threatened his already weakening control.
He kissed a trail along her jaw, stopping briefly to nuzzle her chin, drawing his tongue long the line of her jaw in a submissive gesture, a soft whine accompanying the gesture. When he reached her mouth, he ever so softly nibbled at her bottom lip. The much anticipated groan, gave him access to her warm sweet depths, and he eagerly sought her tongue and caressed every corner of her sweet and luscious mouth.
He didn't understand what possessed him. He was not even sure that he wanted to know. All that matter was that he was doing the one thing he had longed to do for so very long that the desire had become painful. Her scent, already pleasing and soothing, was now heady and arousing in ways that he had never thought possible.
He had kissed Kikyou, both alive and dead. They had embraced and held each other. But none of it even came close to this moment with Kagome. She was so much more than Kikyou had ever hoped to be, and she was standing here now, offering herself to him freely, without reservation, or expectation. She was his gift, and she knew what she offered him.
His hands continued to massage her warm and wonderful cheeks, then travelled up to reach the waist band of the pants that he had helped her mother put on her the other night after he had brought her home. He remembered all to well, the horrors that she had faced. Not just because of how he found her, but also because of his linking with her to help finish the potion his brother had offered.
More than anything he wanted to have something that would over power those horrid images, and would bring peace to the two tortured minds standing in each others' arms. If they affected him the way they did now, he didn't even want to think what they might be doing to Kagome. No, they had shared those images, felt that pain together, faced that nightmare head on, along with his brother. Now it was time to wipe that horrid vision away, and replace it with something far more inviting, and memorable.

LEMON ENDS
Unknowing to the two mates, lying unconscious upon the rock that had become the place of their mating nuptials, a pair of understanding eyes nodded their approval. For so long they had watched the two grow together, only to push each other back, to come together yet again, and be torn apart again. They had begun to wonder if they would ever take that final step. Finally they had, and they were happy for them. It was about time, and no one they knew deserved it more than the two lying now on the mossy rock in the hot springs.
The eyes stayed long enough to make sure that both of the lovers were alright and breathing despite the weight of the one on the other. They were still joined at the hip, and the watcher knew that this was normal for an inu, and it would be that way even when they awoke. But they were going to both be alright now, their souls finally given the one thing they needed the most. Each other, and the chance to heal. Finally to get rid of painful wounds that they had both suffered far too long. They deserved a bit of happiness, and now they could work together to find it.
The figure turned, and wandered back the way they had come. They had started out with the intent of making sure that the onna was alright. When they had not returned to the village hours ago, the watcher had become worried. The little Miko had gone through so much in three short days, and despite the miracles of the body, there was still a need for the mind to heal.
It was not the intent of the watcher to spy on the young couple. They were not hentai like the amorous houshi. But when they had not found the young couple by the old Goshinbuko, they had become worried that something might have happened. Thinking of the hot springs, and knowing that the little Miko favored this spot the watcher had turned in that direction, hoping to at least alleviate their concern for the young woman-child.
The watcher closed their eyes, and sighed in relief. Now that healing would be complete and the young Miko, would be able to continue life as it was meant to be. The hanyou would, also, be able to let the past go, and find solace in the arms of his mate. She was just what he needed to find himself, and regain the confidence he truly needed. She would heal him. Heal him in ways he didn't realize he needed. He would learn that he would never be alone again.
With a smile, the watcher headed back to the village, content that all was right in the world. At least in the world of one Inuyasha, and Kagome.
