Chapter 6: what is real and just a dream

Kagome sighed as she sat in Inuyasha's lap. Inuyasha had his arms wrapped around her and reassured her that it was ok. Kagome hesitated for a few minutes before she began. She started at the beginning when she first met Inuyasha and received a chuckle or a Keh from Inuyasha every so often and comments. Every few major parts the others would ask something or comment. In the middle of explaining Kagome stopped and buried her face into Inuyasha's chest .Inuyasha sighed and continued telling the others where Kagome left off. He told them about what happened after Sango had joined them and filled in some thing Kagome didn't mention.

An hour later they headed back and all walked to each others houses as Inuyasha and Kagome finished explaining. Inuyasha sighed heavily when they reached Kagome's house and didn't even bother saying good-bye to the remaining friends. Kagome waved and followed Inuyasha up the stairs. When they entered the house and said nothing as they walked up to Kagome's room.

Kagome sighed and curled up on her bed as Inuyasha closed the door gently and quietly sat next to her. Kagome laid there curled up and tried to block out the recent events of the last hour. That was when Inuyasha looked over at her and asked if she was ok Kagome smiled at him and stroked his ear. Inuyasha smiled back and turned his head to look at her, then he stood up and announced that he should go and change. "I guess I could sleep in the guest room." he said as he opened the door to leave. A single word stopped him from opening the door and he turned around to see Kagome sitting up, looking at him.

"Please, Inuyasha, Stay." Kagome said in a quiet voice.

Inuyasha looked at her for a short time and sighed, his face changing from a curious look to a gentle, loving look. "Alright, I'll stay." he then made a face and put a finger up, "but first I need to go to the bathroom." Kagome snickered as Inuyasha left.

Ten minutes later Inuyasha opened the door to Kagome's room, now wearing a pair of pajama bottoms. Kagome suppressed a laugh and grinned at the site and received a glowering look from Inuyasha.

"so where do you want me?" Inuyasha asked with a tinge of pink to his face.

Kagome gestured to the spot between her and the wall, by patting it. Inuyasha made a face, and walked up to the bed wondering how in hell he was going to get to it without crawling over Kagome and making this way more awkward and embarrassing than it already was. At first he was going to just jump from the end of the bed but decided against it.

Kagome giggled at Inuyasha puzzled face and watched him as he hesitated before crawling into the spot. He paused as he caught her eye and just stood there on his hands and knees staring at Kagome. The two were frozen in their positions just looking into each others eyes, and even when Inuyasha began to move again their eyes stayed locked. They were still locked as he sat next to her on his knees and Kagome had moved to a different position.

Unknown to either of them they were slowly getting closer to one another and Inuyasha's hand slowly moved and was placed on her waist. With their faces inches apart, Inuyasha's right hand on Kagome's waist and his left hand at his side; Kagome's right hand was sitting on top of Inuyasha's left hand and her right hand was sitting on his leg. Just as their lips were a hair-line apart a loud thunderclap resounded and a bright flash of lightning flashed outside the window. This caused both to jump and snap out of it and face the opposite direction.

Later in the night, Kagome and Inuyasha had ended up cuddling and wrapped in an embrace. The storm plus images from her attacker flooding back, had caused Kagome to wake up. Inuyasha was already awake and was leaning against the corner of the head board. He waited for a few minutes and watched her as she got up and left the room shaking. Inuyasha adjusted his pants and position as she walked back into the room and crawled into her bed.

Inuyasha placed a hand n her shoulder, "are you alright Kagome?" Kagome looked at him and gave him a weak smile. When Kagome didn't answer, Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck and then he slowly slide down into a laying position. Kagome cuddled into his chest and fell asleep with Inuyasha watching her and eventually drifting off himself.

Near dawn the next morning Kagome woke up still in Inuyasha's arms. She smiled and snuggled into his chest an action that caused the dog to awaken. She looked up at him and smiled. His eyes were still half closed and looked glazed and Kagome lost her train of thought, or at least the few thoughts she had. A few minutes later Inuyasha was laying halfway above Kagome and leaned down and kissed her gently. Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. Inuyasha slowly traced her jaw and kissed neck again and move his left hand down her leg.

Kagome let a moan escape her lips and moved her hands from around his neck to his chest. From there she kissed his smooth scare covered chest as he moved completely over top of her. He kissed his way to her collar bone and slipped his hand up her shirt and removed her shirt. As Inuyasha moved his hand to remove her shirt there was a knock on the door. Inuyasha and Kagome froze and looked toward the door. It was Kagome's mom asking if Kagome was going to school. Kagome took a deep breath and answered no and that they were leaving today, then her mom told her she was going to the grocery store and asked if she needed anything. It was Inuyasha who answered with two words: Just Ramen.

When she left Kagome sighed and laid back down and Inuyasha returned to what he was doing. Kagome stopped him, received an annoyed growl from Inuyasha and said she had to go take a shower.

"Now? Why not wait and do it later?" Inuyasha asked as he kissed her neck.

"I need to now and it wont take very long." Kagome sat back up and kissed him, then got out from under him and went to the door.

Inuyasha watched her reach for the door handle and sighed. With a attentive look he called out to her, "Kagome."

"yes?" Kagome turned around and looked at Inuyasha.

They were quiet for a while as Inuyasha hesitated to say the words he wanted to say and Kagome tried to search his eyes for what he wanted. Inuyasha then gave a small smile and whispered slightly, "I love you."

Kagome was stunned for a few minutes then smiled back. "I love you too." she winked at him and stuck her tongue out playfully then left. Once she was out the door and halfway down the hall she let a few tears fall.

Inuyasha's ears and nose twitched, 'she's crying' he thought then smiled and chuckled, "keh figures."

Inuyasha sighed and decided to get up, "might as well go find my clothes." he said, ' and attempt to get rid of something..' he add and he grinned and laughed at himself.

He walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. The only other person her aside from him and Kagome was her Grandpa who was currently outside. Inuyasha looked around the kitchen before heading into what Kagome and her mom called the laundry room. He searched in a few baskets and in the drier and found nothing so he headed up to the guest room. Finally he found them in a pile of clothes in the small room next to the guest bedroom.

Inuyasha grumbled as he entered Kagome's room and adjusted his kimono. He grabbed his Tetsusaiga off the desk and placed it at his side. The door opened and Kagome walked in fully dressed in a different outfit then what she normally in. He smiled at her and examined her outfit. She wore a light colored tank top with a matching skirt. Inuyasha walked up to her and kissed her gently. Kagome deepened the kiss and wrapped her arms around her neck. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up, and Kagome wrapped her legs around Inuyasha's waist as he carried her to her desk. Kagome let out a moan as Inuyasha kissed and nibbled her neck leaving a trail of marks.

Inuyasha ran his right hand up from her waist to her shoulder and back down wrapping her leg around his waist. He pressed against her and Kagome tightened her arms around his neck . After kissing her neck, Inuyasha moved a his hand from her leg up her side and under her shirt.

"W-wait. . . Stop. . . Inuyasha." Kagome said panting.

" why?" Inuyasha asked in a lustful voice also panting.

" I jut took a shower and my mom could come home any minute and grandpa could come up." Kagome replied.

"mhm well then we'll just have to take a shower then." Inuyasha said between kissing her neck and shoulders.

Kagome stifled a moan and pushed him back slightly. "Inuyasha that'd be just weird and awkard beside we're already dressed."

Inuyasha pouted and stood up straight. "fine"

Kagome smiled and kissed him on the cheek just as Kagome's mom walked into the house. Kagome and Inuyasha looked toward the door and Kagome hopped off the desk and headed down the stairs with Inuyasha slowly following and still pouting.

When Kagome entered the kitchen her mom had just laid out the several packs of ramen and asked if that was enough.

"that's plenty." Kagome said as Inuyasha sat down.

"when are you leaving Kagome?" her mom asked and glanced at Inuyasha, "what's wrong with you?"

Inuyasha ignored her and played with the mat that was sitting in front of him. Kagome just giggled and said he woke up that way.

"we're leaving after I pack my bag." Kagome answered her mom.

Kagome's mom nodded and Kagome ran up the stair and retrieved her bag. Inuyasha helped her pack it and heaved it over his shoulders.

Kagome said good-bye to her mom and grandpa and headed out the door and to the hidden well. She opened the doors and followed Inuyasha inside and jumped into the well.

Once there she was greeted by Shippo who immediately looked at Inuyasha and made a face. Inuyasha just shrugged and smirked, then stuck his tongue out at him

"so are we ready to head out?" Miroku asked as he walked up to them with Sango right behind him.

"yeah. lets go defeat Naraku!" Inuyasha said drawing out Tetsusaiga and pointing into the direction they were heading:: North.
