A Promise
Apollo asked Kagome to stay for a week so he could help her complete her Miko training. InuYasha started to protest. "No way! We got shards to find!" "InuYasha- SIT!" he slammed into the floor. Kagome huffed. "Miroku, Sango, Shippo- are you all willing to stay for a while so I can complete my Miko training?" she asked the group. They nodded their assent. "Then it's settled! We accept your offer, Apollo sensei" she turned to InuYasha, who was getting up off the floor. "InuYasha, please come out onto the porch with me" she walked out the door, fully expecting him to follow. He flattened his ears again and followed her out.
Kagome leaned against the porch railing, watching the rain come down. "So much has happened in the last 10 days. I was poisoned by a snake-vulture demon and nearly died, met four gorgeous Greek gods, got a beautiful weapon crafted by Hephaestus, an amulet to help me channel my Miko powers, and InuYasha actually kissed me! Boy is my head spinning. And to top it off, I can't tell anyone what's going on." She sighed heavily, lost in her own thoughts.
InuYasha stepped onto the porch and realized Kagome was deep in thought. "Kami! She is beautiful!" he thought as he watched emotions play across her face. He felt guilty for the way he had been acting since she got hurt, but he couldn't help it. He cared for her too much not to worry about her and want to protect her. He stepped closer and waited until she realized he wad behind her.
Kagome finally realized InuYasha had come up behind her. She cleared her face of her emotions, straightened up and turned to face him. He had a strange look on his face, somewhere between anger and guilt. He started glaring at her, obviously not happy with the situation. "InuYasha" she placed a hand on his cheek, causing him to blush, but he didn't pull away. "What" he grunted. She started to caress his cheek gently and he closed his eyes as he leaned into her touch. "Please let me do this" she asked. "I need to complete my training if we are going to have any chance to defeat Naraku." She moved closer to him so their bodies were almost touching. "Kaede only taught me basic healing skills. I need to learn more. I need to learn how to control my Miko powers, how to use them, and most importantly, how to fight using them at full power." She paused to gather her thoughts before continuing. "Apollo is a master healer. He is the only one in this time who can teach me what I need to know." InuYasha listened to Kagome as he breathed in her heavenly scent which calmed his anger. "I know Kagome" he groaned as he pulled her into a hug. "I just can't stand the thought of you spending so much time with him." he admitted. She pulled back so she could look into his eyes. They were swirling with so many emotions, she couldn't read them easily. "He is a master healer, and will be my sensei. Nothing more" she promised, still looking into his eyes. They flicked red for a moment before returning to their usual golden color. "We'll stay one week" he started to protest but she cut him off by placing a finger to his lips. "One week, InuYasha. I know it seems like a long time, but when my training is done, we'll take a couple of days and go somewhere alone". "Just you and me?" he asked when she removed her finger from his lips. She nodded as she blushed. "And I get to choose where we go and what we do?" he whispered seductively as he slipped his clawed hands up under the edge of her shirt and started caressing her lower back. "Y-Yes" she agreed with a shiver. "And if you promise not to interfere with my training, I promise not to S-I-T you" she offered as added incentive, shivering with pleasure as he continued to caress her back. "How could I say no to a deal like that" he agreed huskily as he leaned towards her. "Seal your promise with a kiss?" he breathed against her lips, causing her to shiver again in anticipation. "Uh-huh" she murmured as his lips claimed hers in a gentle kiss.
His hands continued to roam over her back under her shirt as his fangs nipped at her lips asking for entrance. She willingly complied, allowing him to deepen their kiss as his tongue plundered her sweet mouth. Without realizing it, Kagome's hands found their way into his silver locks and began caressing his ears. His purr of pleasure against her lips sent waves of pleasure through her body. InuYasha moved closer, pressing Kagome into the railing behind her. The cold, wet railing on her bare back shocked her enough to pull her out of her passion induced haze. She broke their kiss, both panting heavily as their foreheads touched. "Now that's the way to seal a promise" he smirked at her as she pulled away from him. "We better get back in before that hentai monk comes out to find us" InuYasha said as he gently tucked Kagome's shirt back into her skirt, caressing her bottom as he pulled away. "Now who's the hentai" she giggled at him as he folded his arms together with a huff. "Feh!" was all he said as he followed her back into the hut, resisting the urge to caress her bottom again.
