I still do not own Inuyasha ...Lemon warning...

If Only in my Dreams...ch17

Kagome woke from her slumber, her body kinked in various places as she
tried in vain to shift into a more comfortable position. Inuyasha
leaned against the wall, next to her, sitting cross- legged in that all too
familiar position that made her bones ache at the sight of him.

They'd slept separately that night, much to both their displeasures,
but it couldn't be helped as Koga and the others were slumbering in
various locations throughout the room. They had yet to inform Miroku and
Sango that they were finally together, but Shippo had seemed less than
surprised at the realization, for he said nothing-he merely sauntered idly
into her lap and snuggled in for the night-perhaps the kit had matured
more than they'd realized these last few years.

Kagome pulled herself from the sleeping bag before reaching to tuck the
cloth around Shippo's sleeping form. Sango lay to her left, next to
Kirara, and Miroku lay curled not much further away. Koga also reclined in
the seated position in the corner of the room, his head tipped forward,
his hair falling over his shoulder as he snored softly.

She made her way past Inuyasha, though every pore of her body screamed
to reach out and touch him.

Tiptoeing through the doorway, she walked further away from the hut,
the breeze caressing past her and moving on as if completely oblivious to
her presence. In the distance the trees ruffled and the tall grass
swayed, each individual strand dancing to its own tune. The moon glistened
high above her, its pale rays lighting her path as she stopped to
admire the serene beauty of the landscape she stood within. It was hard to
believe that this era was ravaged by war and plague- that so many died
from illnesses that were so easily cured in her time.

It was hard to imagine the drastic changes that had occurred throughout
the last five hundred years, and yet she knew that this was no dream-
that in this time and place things were so vastly different, and so
volatile. Violence seemed a regular occurrence. Villages were destroyed
upon the whim of demons, and humans were more than susceptible to the
ravages of the times. Where things in her time were so simple, so easily
taken for granted, the people of this era seemed to cherish each shred of
peace. They seemed to latch on to the love of their lives and lived
each day as if it were to be their last, because in this day and age it
very well could be.

She silently thanked the gods above for the love she felt swell within
her heart. She'd never once thought that she would be able to spend the
rest of her days wrapped within Inuyasha's embrace, but come hell or
high water she fully intended to live each moment as if they were her
last.

Inuyasha followed Kagome as she moved further away from the hut. In his
mind he wanted to reprimand her for leaving the safety they lay within,
but his heart smiled secretly at the fact that this would be a moment
they could share alone without the company of the others.

He watched as she stopped to gaze around her. The breeze lifted her
hair behind her, creating the illusion of a silken blackflag reaching out
to him as if beckoning him to come closer. She'd changed into her
familiar clothing, her skirt flaring upon the breeze to provide him repeated
glimpses of her golden skin. Her muscles, defined from years of travel,
were each rippling softly as she shifted her weight from one foot to
the other in an attempt to relax herself.

Moving closer behind her he reached out to take her into his arms, her
back falling against his taut chest as he leaned in to inhale her
sultry scent, his nose nudging the bottom of her ear lobe before his tongue
emerged to taste of her flesh.

"I missed you"he murmured before kissing his way past her mate mark,
smiling at the shudder of breath that hissed past her lips followed by
her moaning of his name; but she pulled away, her body turning until she
faced him. The moonlight danced behind her, framed her within its
silvery haze, as if she were some ethereal being come from the heavens above
to grace his presence with her image of perfection.

Her skin glistened beneath the sparkle of the stars above them as if
they too were simply in awe of the beauty that she represented. " I
missed you more" she breathed as she slowly took a step backwards followed
by another and yet another. Her aura caressed his own until he thought
he'd die from the sheer euphoria that swelled within him at the
knowledge that she'd never look at another soul the way she was looking at him.

"I never got the chance to thank you properly for saving me from those
snake demons, and I never got to thank you for taking so much time in
helping heal my wounds." Her hands rose ever so slowly as she touched
upon the buttons of her blouse, her fingers caressing them with a
tenderness he longed to feel.

Slowly one button fell loose followed by another and another, until the
upper swell of her breasts could be seen; the valley between them
glowing beneath the night sky as she moved to caress her skin, his eyes
following her fingers as they fell upon the velvety warmth he knew to be
there. Down they traveled as they made their way seductively around her
belly button before easing into the waistband of her skirt as she pushed
it a little lower upon her hips to provide him a view of the flat plane
of her stomach and the corded muscles that rippled beneath her touch as
if calling his eyes to follow her sensual caress. Her shirt fell from
one shoulder, her mate mark glowing for the world to see as she moved
ever so slowly before him, her body swaying, her breasts swelling from
beneath the red lace covering that only enhanced their shimmering beauty.

He stood there lost in her magic, unable to do anything but watch as
the shirt fell from her other shoulder to rest in the crook of her arms.
She reached behind her to unclip the lace cloth from her body, its
tightness releasing until it rested upon the crest of her
breasts...teasing...tantalizing.
She reached behind her further until those magnificent mounds of
perfection peaked beneath his gaze. The cloth of her skirt fell around her
ankles to draw his attention away from her breasts and down to the lace
that lay covering her feminine core in the way his hands were begging
to. He memorized the dip of her waist...the swell of her hips..the creamy
length of her thighs as she stepped from the pile of cloth that had
fallen around her ankles.

Never in his life had he seen something so beautiful. She stood before
him, a golden goddess whose body seduced him, called to him upon some
primal level.

She stepped before him, her hands raising to pull the ties that held
his outer kimono in place and pushed the material from his shoulders
before reaching to remove is inner yukata in the same manner. She moved
around him slowly, her lips brushing soft kisses along the skin of his
shoulders and then down his shoulder blades, then further down the length
of his spine causing his sharp intake of breath before his body arched
away from the intense pleasure that curled deep within him until he
barely had any control within himself to fall back upon. Her hands moved
around the front of him to caress the solid plane of his stomach, the
curve of his waist before reaching to caress the length of his desire.
His body jerked in pleasure, ecstasy raging through him at the sheer
torment she let loose upon his heated skin, and yet he could do nothing
but allow her attentions, his body begging for her ministrations, his
breath hissing from his parted lips as his eyes closed in anguished
pleasure.

Her hair tickled along his skin as she moved to stand before him, her
eyes heated with desire, her arousal surrounding him within its essence
as if begging for sweet release. Her fingers toyed with the ties to his
hakama and before long he stood proud and naked before her. He was pale
perfection, the image of a demon god in all his naked glory, surrounded
in the shining silver silk of his hair and the molten pools of gold
that held her pinned beneath his unwavering gaze.

"I love you, Inuyasha...Kami, how I love you." she whispered before
watching the last thread of restraint fall from the golden depths of his
eyes. She found herself pushed against a tree, her hanyou kissing her,
touching her in every place and yet no place as his fingers feathered
across her skin causing her to arch into his touch for fear of loosing it
all together.

His fangs nipped, his tongue searched and it was all she could do not
to scream in the sheer pleasure that rained down upon her heated skin.
She burned in passion, ached with a need so devastating that she sought
his lips in a kiss that shook the foundations of his very soul.

His body merged with hers as he moved them past the realm of this
reality and into a world of their making-a place in time that existed for
them and them alone before it shattered into a sparkling inferno of
warmth that spread throughout her womb to create a new life within its wake.
Inuyasha leaned into her, his body spent to the point that he truly
questioned just how exactly he'd managed to stay standing after the waves
of passion had finally dulled into a dim humming that still vibrated
through his limbs.

"Dear god Kagome, what did I do in this life to deserve such a
seductress?" he murmured into her hair, smiling softly while he waited for the
shock waves of her pleasure to calm into satiated relaxation. She lay
her head upon his shoulder, her body limp within his embrace...

"You loved me, Inuyasha...you loved me."
