Summary: A moment by the Fireside
Silence crept across the clearing punctuated by the occasional crackle of the fire. Something shifting beside him caught Inuyasha's attention. Kagome sat next to him staring into the fire, her eyes dancing in the firelight.
She said nothing and the silence stretched out. Cautiously Inuyasha reached over to cover her tiny hand with his own. She made no move to stop him as he encased her hand rubbing her knuckles with his thumb. She rested his head against his shoulder, and he could feel her sigh against him.
A sudden feeling of boldness took over him and he brought his free hand up to cup her chin. She looked up at him her brown eyes seemed nearly amber in the dim light. He closed his eyes bringing her lips to his; they were soft, just like he thought they would be. He could feel an exploratory tongue dart between her lips; he met it with his own in a sinfully sweet dance.
Shifting position, she moved to straddle him, her soft, enticing body pressed against his hard body. Her hands caressed up and down him, while he tangled his hands in her ebony locks. Heat built between them, and his body showed with a physical response. He never knew how bad he wanted her till now.
When he opened his eyes again, Kagome was gone and he was sitting on a tree branch outside of Kaede's village. It had only been a dream. A dream of what should've been had he had the guts to make a move when he had the chance. It was too late now Kagome was gone and she wasn't coming back. She was back in her time where she belonged. However, it didn't stop him from regretting what could've been.
