After Battle

Chapter 14: All These Things That I've Done

Disclaimer

a.n: Well I did get a few reviews asking for lemon, so I'll do a very tiny one. This is the first one I've ever done… so don't kill me if it really sucks… O.o

Oh yeah, the title is from the song called All These Things That I've Done by The Killers. I was listening to them while I wrote, so I decided to name the chapter that… O.o

When they finally got back to where they were staying, they sat for a few moments staring into each other's eyes. The "moment" was interrupted by a snort from one of their sleeping companions, and they burst into silent giggles. All the tension they felt from the last few nights was lifted off their shoulders. It was like a breath of fresh air was blowing on them, and they decided to enjoy the moment. They were both so deliciously happy and the only thing they wanted to do was sit in each other's arms for eternity.

Well… maybe that wasn't the only thing they wanted to do. (a.n: get it? Wink wink, nudge nudge… :P)

Kagome sat herself squarely in the middle of Inuyasha's lap, and smiled lazily as he began to give her a back rub, just like the ones he had given her so long ago. Finally, when they couldn't stand the suspense any longer, they both wrapped themselves around each other and started kissing each other passionately. Inuyasha rolled on top of her and started nipping her neck playfully. She reacted by wrapping her legs around him and trying to divert his lips from her neck by kissing him again, and it worked.

After they separated, panting for breath, they both suddenly became very shy.

"So… Kagome…" Inuyasha said, rubbing the back of his head with his hand. She looked up at him, a small blush shadowing her face.

"Inuyasha?" She said, and felt his arms wrap around her waist and pull her closer to him. He began to massage her again, pulling himself closer to her, and she could feel his arousal. He started to play with her hair and rubbing her neck, harder with every stroke until she couldn't take it any more. She flipped around and forced her lips upon his once again. She felt his tongue force her lips apart and drown her in a warm tingling sensation she had missed for a very long time.

He pushed her to the ground and straddled her waist and kissed her harder, their bodies seeming to melt together. Kagome moaned quietly as Inuyasha licked her neck, her fingernails digging into his back.

-And now, the first installment of the adventures of Frank the dancing llama-

Inuyasha: What? I've never seen that character in our show before.

Kagome: You never noticed Frank? You really are an insensitive bastard!

Inuyasha: O.o

Sango: Uh… Kagome… there is no such thing as Frank the Llama.

Kagome: Oh… Ahem.

-And now, the ending of Frank the Dancing Llama. Huzzah-

(a.n: I really didn't want to write the whole lemon and I had to find something to replace it. I don't know where Frank the Dancing Llama came from and I feel so sorry to everyone who had to read that O.o … On to After the Battle.)

They awoke, the feudal sun shining merrily down on them. They were still intertwined in each other, memories of last night still fresh in their minds. They sat up slowly and looked around, blinking in the morning light.

"I wonder what happened to Kagome…," said the woman, otherwise known as Sango. Miroku smiled, and pointed toward the spot where the couple was still asleep.

"Looks like they found each other okay." He said, and put his arm around Sango. "I say we sleep a bit longer."

-The night before, in Kikyou's village where Kei stayed-

Everything was so different in this time Kei thought as she left her parents and walked toward Kikyou's hut. Keki stood in the shadows of the hut, watching silently as Kei approached.

"Uh, hey Keki…" she said, wondering if the steely glance she was wearing was directed at her. Keki just stared for a few seconds before speaking.

"I guess you are my sister then." She said slowly, her eyes never leaving Kei. "Come inside."

Kei didn't need the offer twice. She was still dressed in her thin summer clothing and the night was becoming rather nippy. (a.n: Damn, I love the word nippy) Inside, she saw Kikyou sitting on a bed, a young girl by her side. She nodded her head to Kei and Keki, and looked rather upset. Keki walked straight to a bed and lay down, but Kei wasn't exactly tired. Instead, she went over to where Kikyou was sitting. Her mom had said that they used to be in love, so maybe she could learn more about her father from this woman…

Kikyou looked at her curiously as she approached, as if wondering what she was thinking. It made sense though, for Kikyou had threatened to kill her earlier that day. Something told Kei that Kikyou wasn't thinking about murder any more. Maybe it was the look on her face. Instead of the fury Kei saw earlier, there was nothing but a passive sadness, like that of a mother whose only son had just gone away to college.

What surprised Kei was that Kikyou didn't look like she was mourning for a lost lover. Maybe Inuyasha and Kikyou hadn't been all that close in the first place. She decided to ask.

"Kikyou… I'd like to know more about my father… could you tell me?" She asked timidly, part of her still afraid of this woman. Kikyou's eyes narrowed slightly and for a moment it looked as if she was going to be angry. She must have thought better of it though, for her face was blank a second later.

"Yes… Inuyasha. I knew him so well…" She sighed, and turned to the little girl by her bed.

"You may leave now Rayne." Kikyou said wearily, and the little girl bowed before bounding out. She turned back to Kei, and sighed.

"I used to love your father, once a long time ago. By now I'm sure you've heard about what Naraku did to us, so I won't bother to explain that. He met your mother when she unsealed him with her priestess powers."

"My mother has priestess powers?" Kei interrupted. Why hadn't her mother ever told her?

"Of course she does. She is my reincarnation." Kikyou said and then looked toward the door.

"What? Reincarnation?" Kei said, her mouth hanging open in shock. That would explain why her mother and this woman looked so much alike but it was still very hard to believe. She looked toward Kikyou for answers, but saw she was lying down on her bed, as if to signify she was done speaking. Kei shrugged. Maybe Kikyou would talk to tomorrow.

a.n: -.- That was kind of monotonous at the end… or at least in my opinion. Sorry if it's weird, I'm sick and wouldn't update if I weren't leaving for Germany today!

Don't expect any updates until after January 6th, that's when I get back!

Bye! (Review!)
