Reflections of the Past...: What They Saw chapter 9

At the spring...

Inuyasha and Kagome sat in each others arms at the side of the spring, niether wanting to leave, yet both knowing that they needed to return to the others.

They had gotten dressed only moments before, a process that seemed to take forever as Kagome would pull a piece of clothing on only to have Inuyasha lovingly try to help her back out of it,and now that their game of ' to dress..or not to dress ' had seemingly endedwith soft laughter and even softer kisses they now sat fully clothed..silently watching the dragonflys that flew just above the sparkling water of the spring, dipping to the surface and rising again having gotten whatever it was they were after. The birds chirped happily around them still oblivious to the newly mated couple below them, the light breeze surrounding them, and the suns rays cooling as late afternoon rolled in.

Kagome took in her surroundings, memorizing each detail as she was sure it would be awile before they could return. She would love to build a home near here so that she could be near the place that would forever hold special memories of their mating, of the first days of the rest of their lives together. Yes, she would stay here with Inuyasha, as the fuedal era felt like home, like she should have been born in this place, it called to her, whispered secrets that she couldn't hear, couldn't make out...it's comforting grip wrapping itself around her subconcious, nudging her to some understanding that she couldn't quite reach. She had felt these feelings since she first arrived here in this era, but the feelings seemed to intensify, a little more everyday, and now they were on the outskirts of her concious, seeming more urgent than before...

Inuyasha sat silently behind her, his thoughts revolving around what they would do once Naraku had been defeated.They were closer than ever now, although Naraku held a nearly complete jewel he still needed those that Kagome kept in the small bottle around her neck, as well as those that Koga still had..They couldn't be sure how many more shards still needed to be found until they caught Naraku, and assembled all the pieces together, so they would continue hunting the jewel shards as well as Naraku...The final battle was coming, he could feel it.

Kagome was the first to sigh, signaling to Inuyasha that she was ready to leave.

He helped her up, standing her before him and placed a small kiss to her lips before lifting her small body to his back, his hands brushing lightly across the back of her thighs as she got comfortable.

"Ready"? Inuyasha asked, enjoying the feel of her pressed against him. He rather liked the feeling of her legs wrapped around his waist, although it would be alot better if she were in front of him, pressed against his...Oh God, I'm sounding more like Miroku everyday...he thought to himself..

"Ready Inuyasha.." Kagome replied as she nuzzled the side of his neck, her tongue darting out to taste his skin.

Inuyasha's breath caught and he growled lightly, his words barely a whisper laced with desire.. "Kagome, I swear if you keep that up you'll be on your back again and I guarantee we won't be leaving this spring till morning..."

"Sorry Inu, " Kagome whispered, her warm breath caressing his neck where her tongue had been just moments before, causing a shiver of desire to race down his spine..

"Later?"

" DEFINATLY" Inuyasha replied huskily...

Inuyasha sped off in the direction of the well, and his waiting ramen...

Kagome sat back and enjoyed the ride, the wind whipping her hair around her shoulders, her arms outstretched to either side of her body, eyes closed.

This was like flying, the landscape racing beneath them as Inuyasha jumped from tree to tree, his muscles tensing as he launched them yet again, hurling them closer and closer to their destination.She'd never get tired of the rush she felt, the way her heart raced as they dropped onto the tree branches only to shoot upwards again, causing butterflys to dance in her stomach. It was exhilerating...It made her feel alive, her senses alert, anticipation racing through her very soul...

It still amazed him that she trusted him so completely, she didn't even hold on to him, just let her legs grip him tightly as she let go. He could hear her heart racing in her chest, could feel her excitment and knew exactly how she felt for it felt the same to him, as if they were totally free of the bonds that held them. Freedom, that was the only word that could define the way running made him feel, like he could escape the world...With her...

But all too soon they reached the end of the forest just before the clearing that led to the well. They slowly decended, and she leaned forward wrapping her arms around Inuyasha's neck as he landed on the forest floor.

Inuyasha stopped, and with one movement had her facing him, her legs still wrapped around his waist.

"Did you enjoy the ride?" he asked her, knowing without asking that she had..

"Yes, but promise me that we'll never stop running Inuyasha, I feel so free when we run..."

"Anything for you Kagome, anything for you..."

He kissed her then, not a chaste kiss, but a soul shattering, blissful kiss that she felt in every fiber of her being

And this was the sight that held Shippo's attention, this was the sight that met Sango and Miroku's gaze, both of them at a loss for words.

And then there was Kilala, who sat... eyes crossed...staring at the bothersome fly that seemed intent on perching on her nose.
