Don't own InuYasha, and it's not like I'll actually own him when all I want is Sesshomaru.

Chapter Thirty-nine: I just wanted to say "Thank you"

"It was so romantic!" Kagome squealed suddenly radiating with energy as she jumped into Inuyasha's arms.

"..." He was dumbfounded by her actions.

Kagome's legs were wound around Inuyasha's waist as her arms circled his neck. Her eyes were shut tight as she giggled like a school girl, the hanyou's hands held Kagome's waist loosely so incase she fell. He stared at her and smirked as she opened her eyes, looking right into his shinning amber orbs.

"What are you thinking?" She asked curiously tapping his nose.

Grinning evilly, he gripped Kagome tightly and held her close to his body. She gasped in surprise and before she could say anything, Inuyasha began to spin around in circles like there was no tomorrow.

She cried out in laughter as she closed her eyes tightly, hanging on for the ride. After a few minutes of spinning, Inuyasha came to a halt and gently let Kagome stand on her own feet. She clutched his haori as she tried to regain her balance.

A moment or so past and she let go and stepped back, the world was spinning and she couldn't help but laugh as she fell forwards onto Inuyasha. It caught him off guard and he too lost his footing.

The both of them fell to the ground, Kagome landing on top of the hanyou, and both of them breaking out in to a hysterical fit of careless and loud laughter. They laughed and giggled merrily for what seemed like hours, neither of them had ever wanted for this day to come to an end.

Not long after sunset, Kagome had grown tired from Inuyasha's merciless attacks of tickling. She laid outstretched in the grass next to a sitting hanyou, smiling non-stop really hurt their faces. She closed her eyes and sighed heavily, her arms underneath her head as a makeshift pillow.

"This has been the best day ever!" Kagome smiled cracking open one of her eyes to look up at Inuyasha.

His amber eyes stared at her face, he too had to agree that this had been the most fun that he had had with anyone, and that was saying a lot.

"Kagome, I..." He stuttered picking at the blades of grass around himself.

"Yeah Inuyasha?" She asked curiously looking up at him.

His clawed fingers twiddled in his lap as he turned his gaze from the ground, to Kagome's eyes, then back to the grass.

"I... uh... wanted to um... uh just tell... you... that I uh... er... I just wanted to say..." He stammered nervously. 'Just say it! Stop muttering like a fool and spill it out! Tell her that you can't stop thinking about her! That you love her! That you don't want to see her leave you!' His mind screamed.

"Are you okay Inuyasha?" Kagome asked worriedly when he spaced off into la-la-land.

She sat up and gently placed her hand in front of his face and waved it, gingerly bumping against his nose bringing him back to the reality that he'd began to think was nothing more than one of his many day-dreams, always ending up with her hating him. He blinked a few times, blushing a bit in embarrassment.

"Huh?" He questioned.

Kagome raised an eyebrow curiously at him. "You said that you wanted to tell me something, but before you did you spaced off on me..."

"Oh, sorry." He said lowly, "I just wanted to say... uh... thank you... yeah that's right... I just wanted to thank you.."

"For what Inuyasha?" Now it was her turn to be confused, as she sat up completely erect, not noticing that their faces were only a foot or two apart.

"For today," Inuyasha replied, "For everyday that you've been by my side. For smiling and laughing, for being happy..."

She blushed at his words, for some reason they touched her heart and all she wanted to do was forget about everything and just be with him.

"...Oh..."

Inuyasha outstretched his claw and pretended to pull some grass from her long silky black hair. His expression turned to one of seriousness as he stared at her.

"And for this." He leaned closer and her eyes widened in surprise.

Kagome couldn't move her body, she couldn't make herself react as she felt the warmth of his breath against her lips. She could feel herself melting, her barriers were falling down like rushing water. Slowly her eyes closed as she anticipated for his touch.

'It's now or never!' His mind yelled as he watched her eyes close.

"Inuyasha..." She breathed heavily, her body tingled as chills ran up her spine. "We... I.."

She was cut off by the feathery presence of his lips against hers. Her mind clouded as she slid her arms around the hanyou's neck and pulled him against her. Going along with the heat of the moment, Inuyasha leaned over on Kagome, pushing her back onto the grass, pulling away only to take a quick breath before she pulled him back to her again, initiating a more passion filled kiss.

He gingerly nibbled on her lower lip and smirked when he heard a muffled giggle coming from Kagome as she messed with his twitching ears. Inuyasha didn't know what came over him but he softly began to growl, which caused Kagome to gasp from his vibrating chest against hers. Slyly he took advantage of her parted lips and slid his tongue into her mouth.

They both were seemingly in heaven, fighting for dominance, their tongues dueling for the upper hand, for the victory. Ironically they had to break, for the severe need of oxygen supply had grown to an almost unbearable state. Inuyasha put his head in the crook of her neck as he softly kissed her racing pulse.

"Mmm..." He whispered, "Kagome..."

He rolled off her and lay next to her, the sun had already set and all of the stars were out and shinning brightly. He could sense Kagome's confusion as her wonderful wild flower scent filled his nostrils.

Smirking, he looked over at Kagome, who was currently staring up at the sky. He rolled over onto his stomach and draped one of his hands over Kagome's abdomen. She instantly switched her gaze to him.

"Inuyasha what are--"

He began to tickle her side softly causing her to giggle and try to move away, but he quickly started tickling both of her sides, not enabling Kagome to get away, only allowing her enough room to squirm in his grasp. He laughed at her facial expression; a smile from ear to ear as she playfully thrashed around.

"Inuyasha..." She laughed, "P-please... I... don't..."

"Don't what Kagome?" He smirked leaning towards her.

She smiled as her lips came up to his ear, panting a bit she whispered, "Don't let your guard down!"

"..."

Kagome gingerly kissed his cheek, shocking him by the tone of her voice. In the blink of an eye, the hanyou was flat on his back. She had her palms pinning down his shoulders as she straddled his waist. She smiled brightly down at him, her eyes were filled with life and sparkled brilliantly.

"OOO, look who's not such a tough guy now!" She said sarcastically.

"Kagome," He whispered huskily biting down on his lip.

The way she was moving slightly against his pelvis was becoming unbearable, he could feel the chills run up his spine as he felt himself becoming hard. His breathing started going erratic as he fought down his urges, somehow he had to make her stop moving. Without thinking, he ran his clawed hands softly against the side of her thighs and gripped her waist, trying to force her to stop moving.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome gasped putting her hands over his, "What are you--"

"Please Kagome," He panted as she started squirming even more, "s-stop... d-don't m-move... or-or I might... OOh, p-please stop moving!..."

Realizing what he was saying by the pressure against herself, Kagome gasped her eyes wide as she stopped all movements...

oOo
