Epilogue
Kagome woke up. Her heart was pounding and she was all sweaty. She had just had a naughty dream. It had been so intense. Images from it still passed before her eyes, sensations still lingered: her naked skin touching his, their lips sealed in a never-ending kiss, their hearts beating as one… she had his scent in her nostrils, his taste in her mouth; she felt subdued by his masculine energy, while he was under her feminine spell; his skin was thrilling under her fingers; he bit her gently by one ear and whispered: "Dearest…" The simple memory of it sent shivers throughout her body. She cuddled closer to…
~Inuyasha?~
He was holding her in his arms from behind. She remembered combing his long silver hair and then stroking it, while he rested his head in her lap, until he had fallen asleep. He was so tired. They both were. Kagome couldn't believe they had slept like two spoons in a drawer all night. What a wonderful feeling it was! He was snoring softly, more like the purring of a cat. The girl laughed quietly. She cuddled to him again. He moaned and moved a little.
"What is it?" he mumbled all sleepy.
"Nothing. Everything is perfect." Kagome whispered.
"M-hm…" and he was about to fall asleep again, when Kagome realised something.
"Inuyasha?"
"Hm…"
"Did you sleep with the Tetsusaiga on your waist? You're poking me with the hilt."
"What are ya talking about?" he mumbled, annoyed that she didn't let him doze off. "My sword is over my head."
Kagome took a second to realize what was really going on, then she shrieked and jumped up, shouting:
"Sit, boy!"
Inuyasha, still very sleepy, grinned, realizing in his turn, what the fuss was all about. He made the most brazen comment.
"Even if I still had the subjugation beads on, I don't think they could get that "boy" to sit right now."
"Uh, your such a pig!"
"Why are you mad?" he stretched, yawning. "You should see it as a compliment." he continued to be brazen and turned over on his back, with all the splendour of the masculine morning phenomenon poking through his cloths.
"Uh!" Kagome went, covering her eyes.
She ran outside the room. Inuyasha sniggered. He remembered having the naughtiest dream. It was only to be expected that his body would react the way it did. But what happened next, the boy couldn't have possibly expected. Kagome dashed back inside, a bucket in her hand, like she was trying to put out a fire, and, in no time, Inuyasha was soaked to the bone in icy cold water. That woke him up really good... and put out his fire.
"What the Hell is the big idea?" he roared.
"Why are you mad? It's my compliment to your compliment." She laughed at the sight of him.
"You better start running right now… 'cause if I lay my hands on you…"
Kaede woke up in a terrible racket. She looked out in the yard, where a soaking wet Inuyasha was chasing Kagome.
"Is he bothering you, child? Should I give him a new string of beads?" she asked.
"No, thanks! I'm starting to develop my own methods of cooling him down!" Kagome answer laughing.
