Disclaimer: I still DO NOT own Inuyasha...yep, you read right...not now and most likely not ever...

Man..talk about a downer...anyway..

Three Days ch 4

Kagome woke again, only this time to the utterly content rumble of the hanyou who even now used her chest as a pillow. She moved slightly, blushing when she realized that somehow during the night they had switched positions and now she found herself on the bottom of a doggy pile that merely consisted of herself and her silver haired buddy who still slept soundly upon her.

She found that her leg lay trapped between his and to her utter embarrassment his clawed hand rested beneath her nightshirt upon her ribcage. Oh, if Miroku were to walk in on their sleepover, he'd be completely unconvinced that this was an innocent incident...

Her breath upon his ears had them twitching every so often thus drawing her attention from her perverted friend and back to her ever protective one who unknowingly held her pinned, though wonderfully, beneath him.

She raised her hand, her fingers just itching to caress those adorable ears that continued to twitch beneath her breath and once their softness met the pads of her fingertips she found that she simply didn't want to stop...She caressed the outer edge, its soft silver triangles velvety against her touch, and as Inuyasha only growled contentedly she continued to rub his soft ears while her mind wondered over their odd friendship...and why it had always seemed to feel as if she should know him from somewhere...but that was impossible for she would have remembered his beautiful silver hair anywhere...and so she had never been able to place him.

Inuyasha lay content beneath her touch, shocked at first that she hadn't protested their current position, then completely blown away that she'd willingly lie there beneath him and caress his ears leaving him as relaxed as a newborn pup beneath the gentle touch of its master. He didn't know why he didn't protest against her ' petting ' his ears nor did he understand what it was about this woman that held him to her, but somewhere along their year long friendship he'd found that he didn't care. He only knew that she now held a part of his heart that he'd never thought to give so freely, so completely. And she had no idea just how completely she held him. Heart and soul, he belonged only to her and he vowed that one day soon he'd tell her...

He grumbled suddenly at the realization that she'd let go of the ear she'd had a hold of, but resumed his content growl when she'd giggled softly before reaching to pet the other ear.

He lay quiet, feeling somewhat guilty that he still lay faking sleep, yet somehow knowing that the woman who still lay beneath him was as content to lay there with him as he was with her..

Time ticked away slowly before the suns rays seemed to ease their way through the yellow cotton curtains that lay suspended before the glass windows. It weaved about the room slowly, its subtle warmth wrapping rays of pleasure around all that it touched before finally reaching the occupants who lay wrapped within each other upon the cushions of the living room couch and before long Kagome sighed softly before easing her way out of Inuyasha's embrace. She stopped short, her gaze falling upon his sleeping face. His silver hair lay spread beneath him, his eyelashes feathering lightly upon the pale perfection of his skin and a lone fang peeked cautiously from beneath a perfectly defined lip causing a smile, as well as a blush to flutter across her features before she found herself leaning forward to place a gentle kiss to the corner of his mouth before pulling away to climb over him..

" Thanks Inu.." she whispered as she eased first one long leg over his body silently willing the hanyou to stay asleep, at least until she could rectify her current position...one that had her straddling said hanyou...her shorts having ridden up with her attempt to crawl over his person, her hands now resting at either side of his head and her face hovering mere inches above his own...

But alas it was not to be, for who ever had thought to sneak around a sleeping hanyou had most certainly lost some piece of her brain for no sooner than she found herself straddling her sleeping demon, his amber eyes opened, their depths glistening beneath her before a casual grin found its way to his handsome face and his hands had risen to hold her slender waist softly...

" A guy could get used to waking up like THIS." he murmured. His voice deep and sensuous as it danced past her ears, reminding her suddenly of someone she hadn't thought of in almost two long years..someone who in one night had shown her just what being loved could feel like...and suddenly she remembered the last time she'd seen him...with his clothes on at least... She'd been invited by Sango to a masquerade party, and had seen him from across the room...He was dressed in a crisp white shirt that seemed to hug his body in all the right places, its length tucked into the waist band of a pair of black pants that made her long to see just what lay beneath them...and then there were his eyes that lay behind a silver mask..deep brown orbs that caressed her in return and in that moment she knew that this man...this stranger was someone that she desperately needed to know...

She watched as a man and woman bumped into him and she found herself moving closer, the need to be near him more compelling than her questions of why, and before she knew it she'd found herself wrapped within a battle of words with a horrible woman who had seemingly been swimming in the spiked punch that flowed to freely. But the first touch of her hand against his body as she reached to pull him to her side confirmed without question that she needed him...and that insane feeling only served to propel her further into said argument before she wound up full on kissing the man, then finding herself alone in the privacy of an empty bedroom with him...her innocence willingly given to a man she never really knew...her first and only one night stand...with a midnight haired god whose eyes seemed to search her soul...much the same way as her silver haired hanyou was looking at her now and for the briefest moment she could almost see a resemblance there...but the eye color was wrong as was the hair, and she found herself silently shaking herself back to reality.

" I' m sorry Inu...I thought I 'd get up to make breakfast..but this was the only way around you...I didn't mean to wake you." she finished before scurrying off of him and making her way into the kitchen, a bright red blush highlighting her face as she hurried away...

Inuyasha closed his eyes as he silently willed his blood to slow down and the rest of his unruly body to return to normal...He'd meant what he'd said about waking to her beautiful face every morning, though she almost looked lost in memory there for a moment before she hurried from the room..her soft voice only now bringing him from his thoughts as she asked him what he wanted for breakfast...

But no sooner than she'd finished her question, a small scream followed.

He pushed away from the couch, his reaction to her scream more intense than he'd ever though it could be, but his reaction had only served to place him face first into the floor with their blankets wrapped tightly around his legs and feet, reminding him of what it must be like to be the parent of an insane little three year old who was hell bent on taking his leg for a ride around the living room...but her breathless utterance of his name had him rending said blankets down the middle as he jumped from the side of the couch and headed into the kitchen at a full run...never knowing that what was about to happen would forever stay in their minds from this day forward...
