Chapter Six

Close Proximity

The grass seemed to be so much greener than in real life, almost fake. The blue sky catching his attention as he walked down a rough dirt road. He didn't have any destination; actually, he didn't even know where he was.

However, his thoughts were pulled away from his position when he heard a sweet sound coming just ahead of him, behind a small hill of trees and bushes, filled with juicy fruit.

Starting at a run, he had to find out what was making that sound. He came to a halt when he reached the harmonious tune and gasped.

'Kagome?' he breathed. Yes, the woman sat there, naked, kicking her legs in complete disorder through a narrow creek, humming away.

Kagome looked up, finally noticing him standing there. He was surprised when she stood instead of hiding her lush and plump chest from his hungry view.

'Inuyasha…' She mumbled in a seductive way as she curled her finger, letting him know to come closer. Inuyasha gulped at the sensation coming from the pit of his stomach as he felt his legs move without his command.

'Kag…Kagome.' Inuyasha whispered when she started walking to him, now standing just before him, her breasts almost touching him.

She giggled when Inuyasha started to blush at the closeness they had become.

Then Inuyasha had a harsh time trying to stifle a gasp when Kagome grabbed his hand and started to place it on her left breast. His pants became tighter when he heard her moan in pleasure.

'More…please…' Inuyasha started feeling more comfortable, well…as much comfort a guy can feel when a girl he hardly knew was standing naked before him. He stepped closer and took a sharp breath in when he felt her chest press into his. 'You know you want to…' He heard her say.

Inuyasha's eyes widened when he felt her hand reach up and behind his neck, starting to pull him down.

Finally, his lips met hers, a warm emotion hit him, and hard. His hand starting to rub her breast, still placed in his hand, perfectly forming to his firm grip.

Kagome moaned louder, as she opened her mouth letting Inuyasha's tongue explore.

The moans and sweet sighs goaded the hanyou on, smelling her arousal at his foreplay.

Inuyasha sat up with a start, sweating heavily as his breath tried to catch up with him.

'Oh god…' Inuyasha sighed. 'It was just a dream.'

The hanyou was staring wide eyed at the closet doors ahead of him. He sat in his bed, in the room his hosts, Kagome and Souta, had generously gave him for his temporary use.

It was all just a dream, but what came over him to actually…dream it?

Inuyasha sighed.

Getting up, he decided he needed a quick shower to get himself rid of the small arousal he had received from his somewhat pleasant nightmare.

Hopping out of bed, he crept through the house, being as quietly as he possibly could to not wake up the other two habitants in the house.

Inuyasha opened the bathroom door, closing it behind him; he sighed as he began to undress from the sticky close of his sweat and started the shower. Taking his time, hopping in, he felt the sharp cold water hit him, and with a harsh hiss, his minor erection was gone, ridding himself of the pain he committed with that horrible dream or nightmare, whichever he chose it to be.

Finishing his shower, he climbed out and dried himself up before heading back to his room.

"Inuyasha?"

'Shit…' He thought as he stopped where he was, turning around to see an exhausted Kagome standing at the other end of the hallway.

"Kagome, what are you doing up?" He asked in a quiet whisper.

"I was about…to ask you the same…thing." She yawned and scratched her head. Kagome started to walk up to him, unaware of his state of dress—or undress.

"I was just heading back for bed." Inuyasha quickly answered, as he pulled tighter on the towel that rested at his hips.

"But why would you be up and having a shower at two in the morning?" She asked innocently.

"I…I…" Inuyasha couldn't answer that. When he looked up, expecting a small glare from the girl, he coughed out when he realized she had fell asleep and was now leaning against the wall.

Inuyasha stifled a laugh as he quickly threw on a pair of sweats and rushed back to carry the girl to bed.

He lifted her easily, surprised at how light she really was. Inuyasha carried her, bridal-style, into her bedroom, lying her back down on her bed, and tucked her in. With a small kiss on her forehead like his mother used to do, he left the room, heading back to bed with a clear head and no plans for anymore bizarre and rather dirty dreams.

Souta sat at the kitchen table, skimming through the newspaper comics and having himself a couple slices of toast for his morning breakfast.

He had been awake during the little event last night, and he wasn't sure what to think of it. Souta was a bit puzzled at how kind Inuyasha had been with his sister, and was really noticing how happy Kagome had become since the hanyou friend came to stay with them.

Souta grinned.

Maybe this new guy could finally help Kagome and get her to relax more, he always worried about her and how uptight she could be. He also knew that she was an easy-going girl with a good heart, but he was frightened that someone could—and would—take advantage of that.

However, he had a feeling that Inuyasha wasn't the type of guy to do that. Souta was really going to like having him around.

"Souta, why are you up so early on a Saturday?" Kagome asked as she paused at the entrance to the kitchen when she noticed her brother sitting there alone.

"Couldn't sleep." Souta shrugged and watched Kagome set up a pan and turned on the oven. "How was your sleep?"

"Oh I had the weirdest dream." Kagome giggled. "I was swimming in this big lake when a giant shark came out of nowhere and in a lake no less…"

"What happened?" Souta urged her on.

"Oh it's stupid." He noticed the small blush that crept up to the girl's cheeks; he had to know.

"Come on, I won't laugh." Souta smiled.

"Oh…well…the shark was coming to eat me…then…something stopped it, I turned to look at it and found that…I was saved…" Kagome stopped herself as she cracked another egg in the steaming hot pan.

"By who?"

"What?" Kagome forgot her brother still sat at the table across the room as she looked up.

"Who saved you?" Souta smiled knowingly.

"…Inuyasha." She whispered it was barely hearable to Souta's ears.

"Oh." He stifled a giggle.

"You said you weren't going to laugh." Kagome huffed in embarrassment. "I shouldn't have told you anything."

Just then, a loud hanyou came yawning into the kitchen, dressed and ready for the day.

"Good morning." Souta smiled at the man as he sat himself down.

"Morning." Inuyasha mumbled as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

"Sunny side or scrambled?" Souta asked for his sister.

"Huh?" Inuyasha wasn't exactly awake yet.

"Your eggs…sunny side or scrambled?" Kagome repeated.

"Oh…scrambled please." Inuyasha yawned again.

"So, Inuyasha…" Souta leaned back into his chair. Inuyasha looked up, waiting for the boy to continue,

"What?"

"How was your sleep? Me and Kagome were talking about dreams and thought you might want to join in." Souta almost jumped when he watched the hanyou's eyes widen at the word 'dream'.

"Uh…oh, I don't remember mine." He quickly answered. Souta didn't believe it, but he wasn't about to push it when he noticed the red cheeks; he didn't want to know.

"So, what are you boys into doing in this fine day?" Kagome chimed in, trying to change the subject from sleep and irregular dreams.

"I don't know what do you want to do?" Souta asked Inuyasha. He shrugged.

"I have no clue…I'd actually like to go to a park or something, maybe a beach?" he asked.

"You have your swimsuit?" Inuyasha nodded. "Then the beach it is!"

"This isn't a bad idea there Souta." Kagome sighed lightly as she noticed how high the sun was, signaling for a hot day.

"Since when are my ideas bad?" He chuckled. Kagome glared at him, sufficiently shutting him up.

"I said it as a compliment, not an excuse to gloat." Kagome mumbled.

"So what are we going to do when we get there?" Both the Higurashi siblings jump a tad at the other number's question, thinking he was asleep or dead, one of the two. Inuyasha was relatively quiet so far that day.

"Well, what do you think we do at a beach?" Souta asked sarcastically.

"Yeah, I know that…" Inuyasha growled. "I'm just sayin' that there might be a lot of people there and I'm definitely not the type that likes to hang out with big crowds."

"There definitely aren't a lot of people where we're going." Kagome giggled as she turned down another road.

"Yup, Sis' and I found this place on a little exploring when we were younger, almost like our own private water hole." Souta smiled.

"Cannonball!" Kagome shrieked at the splash of water when her brother dove into the water and off the dock.

"Souta!" She yelled when he resurfaced.

"Sorry." He grinned. "Inuyasha, aren't you gonna come in?"

Inuyasha just glared at the boy and continued to sit on his towel, glaring at the water.

"Oh come on, it was an accident." Kagome giggled, effectively making the growl emitting from the hanyou, louder.

"You're being a baby about this." Souta mocked as he dove in again, stifling another laugh at the shriek from Kagome when the water tidal waved over her.

"Just shut it, I'll go in when I'm ready." Inuyasha pouted.

Kagome had enough, stepping out and onto the soft sand surrounding the lake; she kneeled in front of the hanyou.

"Come on, it's no fun without you." Kagome whispered to the surly hanyou in front of her. "I said I was sorry."

"Keh." Kagome didn't notice the slight blush surfacing on Inuyasha's face as he tried to look away from the perfect view of her chest. Her small bikini wasn't helping the matter.

"You're being a baby." Kagome huffed. She started to walk away, "You had it coming."

Inuyasha had it; first, when they arrived he rushed into the lake so fast that he forgot to take off his shirt. That wasn't so bad, but when Kagome won against him at their mock game of beach volleyball, he started to become a little ticked off. Then he lost it when all but killed himself with anxiety when he couldn't get his foot unhooked from the tangled mess people called seaweed.

He stood abruptly, Souta gulped when he saw the glare he was giving to Kagome's back as she calmly entered the water again.

Inuyasha started to chase the poor girl, intent on teaching her a lesson; Inuyasha style. He dived in, reaching the girl in record time and dragging her up and over his head.

"Inuyasha, no! Don't!" Kagome screeched, but it was too late. He gently tossed her into the water.

Souta watched the scene take place but his attention was pulled away when he noticed a piece of red clothing floating in his direction.

He picked it up and his eyes widened. The red article was in fact, Kagome's bikini top, meaning…

Souta gulped, looking up, Kagome still didn't show herself, either she was hiding or she drowned and died. The latter suggestion was more believable.

He looked around, Inuyasha was already heading back at his towel, pouting, not noticing that his sister was somewhere, topless. He needed to find Kagome and fast.

There, a bit of a cliffy. I posted chapter five and then started writing this one…it seemed the words just typed themselves, I've never felt such inspiration in my life. Hope you like it and I believe this is one of my favorite chapters yet!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters, anime of manga. Rumiko Takahashi does and I'm glad she had the imagination to create such amazing characters to play with.
