Kagome's Dream Part III

****I know that it has been a while since I have added a chapter and originally I was not going to add a chapter until I finished Sess and Rin but I decided to go ahead and add this chapter since I just recently received an email asking me to go ahead and continue. (thanks Kagome 1990). I thank each and every one of you all once again for your reviews and I promise that Kagome's Dream will have a happy ending although Kagome and Inuyasha are going to go through some things (angst). Please email me, I love email and being a creative and open minded individual I love all feedback. Thanks once again guys for reviewing!!!!!!

Shady
Inuyasha's bare clawed feet landed with ease onto the bottom of the well as he and Kagome were transported back to her time. He slightly bent his knees and leap upward to land gracefully as always on the top of the well. It was late in the morning and Inuyasha could tell that no one was at home from the lack of smells that would have been strong if Kagome's mom, brother or grandfather were there. Inuyasha was glad that he had caught up with her before she tried to jump down the well. If she had come back without him no one would be there to take care of her.

Inuyasha leap again and landed in front of the doors to the well, pushed them open with one clawed foot and proceeded to walk towards the house with Kagome in his arms. He could not tell if she was asleep or not because her heart and breathing were normal, whereas his was erratic. She felt so good in his arms, like she was meant to be there. She fitted him so well that it was like her body was molded to fit his.

He was tempted to leap up to her bedroom window but he remembered the last time that they had an argument about him being uncivilized and why he could not use the stairs instead. So he opened the door to her home and carried the priestess up the stairs to her bedroom. When he entered the bedroom he knew that he should lay her down upon her bed but a part of him would not let go. Instead he walked towards her bed and sat down still holding her within his arms. Her dark silken head rested against his right shoulder and her arms were draped around his neck. He held her, in silence for what seemed like hours until she finally spoke.

Kagome felt regret the moment that they arrived in her time. She knew that Inuyasha would take her to her room and leave as always. Going back to his time. Going back to Kikiyo. When he entered her house and walked up the stairs to her bedroom instead of leaping straight to her bedroom window as he always did, it surprised her. He remembered the argument that they had had weeks earlier and decided to use the stairs instead. Actually the argument was not about him using the steps or the window to gain entrance to her room. It was about her frustration at him for not seeing how much she loved him and how much she would be better for him than Kikiyo.

It always made her mad when she thought back to the day that he had looked at her with pity in his eyes. He pitied her! After all that she had gone through for him. All that she had sacrificed for him and he still wanted Kikiyo! It broke her heart immensely when she saw Kikiyo and him kiss again that day. The day that she tried to forget him and almost ended up killing herself in the process. She wondered why she did not love Kouga the way the she loved Inuyasha. Maybe if she had meet Kouga first before she met Inuyasha that day when she first emerged from the well things would have been different.

Would they?

When Inuyasha opened the door to her bedroom she immediately felt regret. She would be torn away from the warmth and protection of his arms. Instead he sat down on her bed while still holding her. She was surprised that he was still holding her. She had never before felt so safe and warm. She felt her eyes become heavy and she knew that before long she would be asleep. She wondered what it would be like to go asleep in his arms and then wake up and his face being the first face that she saw when she awoke. Of course she knew that dream would never be a reality so she decided to break the spell before she became even more hurt.

"Inuyasha?" she asked, her voice no more than a whisper.

"Yes Kagome, he said, silently praying that she would not tell him to release her.

"You don't have to continue to hold me if you don't want to," she said.

"What makes you think that I don't want to? I like holding you, keeping you safe," he said into her hair. He took in a deep breathe of her scent and sighed. She always smelt so good. She smelled cool and warm like the soft gentle breeze that lifted his sliver locks when he ran through the forest. He would hold her like this, forever until she asked him not to.

Kagome didn't know how to respond to that. Inuyasha just said that he liked to hold her. Surly she must be dreaming? Right? But of course he said liked, not loved. Kagome mentally sighed heavily.

She continued to let him hold her. She wondered what her mom would say if she came into her room and found them like this. But for some reason she didn't care. She only wanted this one moment with Inuyasha. Kagome let sleep overcome her while she lay, safe in Inuyasha's arms.

***I KNOW THAT THIS IS A SHORT CHAPTER, BUT I PROMISE THE NEXT ONE WILL BE LONGER. I DON'T KNOW WHERE I WANT THIS STORY TO GO YET SO I AM PLAYING AROUND WITH DIFFERENT IDEAS.

THANKS ONCE AGAIN GUYS.
