Stolen

Chapter 7

(Still three years ago!)

Kagome stepped out of the car, her feet meeting gravelled ground. She tensed at the rough sound of pebbles scratching together. The others had all gone on without her, agitated to check out their summer house, she didn't mind at all. She would take her time; she had all the time in the world right now.

No rush. No pressure.

A soft breeze caught her off guard and she remembered where she was. Straightening up Kagome shut the opened car door behind her and she began to walk towards the house ahead of her. She walked on, slowly, listening to the distant sound of the sea and gulls; the ground beneath her turn gradually from a coarse driveway into warm sand.

Compared to back home it was much quieter. She could get used to this. It was another perfect day.

When she finally reached the front porch of the house, she looked around, taking in her surroundings, afraid to forget it all too easily. The beach was not so far off actually, it was a few minutes walk and they had it all to themselves. Nice.

Kagome lightly pushed the front door open just as Sango ran out with Miroku closed behind her. Man, he was like a stalker boyfriend. She stumbled aside as the two rushed by.

"Hey hey! What's with the running?" Kagome said, raising her hands up in defence.

"The place is awesome! We're gonna grab our stuff and head down to the beach. Okay?" Sango replied excitedly.

"Oh okay cool.." Letting her hands drop by her side.

"Seriously, check it out!" She squealed before running off to her car.

Once they looked like they were busy picking up theirs bags, Kagome reopened the door and stepped inside.

She smiled at the place whilst kicking off her tattered sneakers, scared to ruin the shining wood floors. She headed off to explore the ground floor, listening to the faint sound of someone walking around upstairs and a distant girly laughter from outside. Once she was finished looking around downstairs she advanced towards the staircase.

Lightly placing her hand on the banister, she felt its soft wooden carvings and noticed the purple-orange light of the sunset entering through a nearby window. Taking in its beauty, she looked down at her dress and watched as it danced patterns across it. She laughed out loud as the light suddenly faded causing her to look up abruptly.

There Inuyasha stood at the top of the stairway with the purple glow faintly outlining him as he blocked it. When he realized her presence he smiled and walked down to her, skipping two steps at a time, finally stopping when his face was inches from hers. She smiled back at him as she placed a hand on his arm, to which Inuyasha reacted quickly by pulling her close to him, wrapping his two arms around her thin waist. She ignored her thoughts and relished his warmth, reaching up and taking his face in her hands, kissing him quickly and chastely.

She pulled away and smiled up at him, resting her forehead on his. She wasn't one who had a thing with words but she thought her actions were clear enough. Inuyasha returned the smile just as sweetly and took her hands from his face, holding them tightly.

"Um Inuyasha, thanks for bringing me here. It's really great." Kagome whispered, her lips barely touching his.

He laughed.

"It's okay. I just wanted to be with you." He said, staring into her blue eyes.

"But we're together mostly all the time." She answered, smiling as she turned away from his gaze.

"This time is different."

She smirked, pulling away a little, placing her hands on her hips and casting him a questioning glance. He laughed at her reaction and pulled her into another hug.

"You're being weird and sentimental." She teased.

"You'll get used to it." He replied.

"Ha!" She laughed, leaning into another kiss but was interrupted by Miroku yelling behind her.

"Hey guys-" He stopped when he saw the two.

"Oh- oops." He continued, shrugging.

"Man! What do you want Miroku?" Inuyasha asked, his tone slightly irritated.

"I'm just telling you guys that we're gonna eat down at the beach, it's really awesome down there!" He chuckled at Inuyasha's annoyed face.

When none of the three said anything more, he waved goodbye and ran off again.

"Where were we?" Kagome asked.

"Um I think here." He said before placing his lips delicately onto her own.

Inuyasha took a seat on a log near a fire which the other couple seemed to have started. They sat opposite him on a log of their own, cuddled together and talking quietly, laughing every once in a while. He smiled at them before he felt a pair of hands trace his back and slowly drape around his neck. He turned around, already knowing who it was and saw Kagome take a sit beside him, her arms moving to go around his waist as she scooter closer to him.

He put an arm around her shoulders and pulled her nearer to him. She smiled back at him gratefully and looked up into the sky. Inuyasha followed her gaze and saw a scatter of stars above him, he smiled to himself looking from Kagome, back up to the stars.

Man, he sure as hell fell inlove with her. Acting his thoughts, Inuyasha pulled Kagome into a tight hug.

"Kagome, I love you." He said, then pressing his lips onto the top of her forehead.

Kagome pulled back a little and smiled at him, "I love you too Inuyasha."

She was silenced by his lips crashing down onto hers.
