Disclaimer: Hey, everyone! I am SUPER SORRY for not updating sooner. It's been pretty hectic lately. I have a super important test to study for, which is why I wasn't able to update. Now, enough about me. Let's get back to the story.
I hope you liked the last chapter! As I mentioned before, there's going to be a lot of fluff in these few chapters. So, without further ado, here is part two of the fluff-o-rama!
I was awakened by a little crack of sunlight that was protruding through a curtain but I didn't open my eyes. That must have been the best sleep I've ever had. Dreamless as it was, it was refreshing and so peaceful. I wish I could have another night of sleep like that.
It was then that I realized there was something on me. It was soft, warm, and it smelled absolutely wonderful. I couldn't really describe the smell but if you smelled it you would most definitely agree with me, I assure you. I can't really remember anything that had happened the night before. I know I came to Kagome's house to watch movies. It was probably all that damn junk food. Getting drunk off of "Ben & Jerry's" ice cream, now that's pathetic. Forget about the ice cream. Now, what happened after that? We finished the movies. . . I apologized. . . She fell asleep. . . I took her to her room. . . Then, what?
Well, the first thing that popped into my head was that I was in my room and I just had an amazing night of sleep, but that can't be right. First, I haven't gotten a decent night of sleep since Freshman year. And second, that still doesn't explain the thing between my arms that has such a sweet aroma. Maybe I took Kagome's stuffed animal. No, this feels slightly bigger than a stuffed animal and much more real. A bigger stuffed animal, maybe? But, that still doesn't explain why it's so warm. This game is getting annoying.
I gave up and opened my eyes before stiffening. Right there, laying on my chest, was Kagome. I only saw the top of her head but I could tell she was asleep by her deep, slow breathing. Her head covered the right side of my chest. My chin was on the verge of touching the top of her head, which is probably why I can smell her, even though I could recognize Kagome's scent from a mile away. My arm was wrapped around her waist slightly and her hand was on the other side of my chest. Don't ask me how we got into this position because Kami knows that I don't even know.
I watched her sleep on me and smiled. I wish I could hold her like this all the time. It feels so nice to hold her in my arms. She fits perfectly in them. I wouldn't want any other girl in them but her. I kissed the top of her head softly and took in her scent again. Only Kagome has such a sweet scent that can intoxicate me. I closed my eyes and continued breathing in the scent. It wasn't until Kagome started moving where I stiffened again. She shifted a few times before looking up at me and her eyes widening. She sat up immediately and looked away. I found myself feeling really cold when she left and I shivered slightly. I sat up and stared at her.
"Kagome?" I murmurred to her. I should've known she would have freaked. My heart's already broken but this just adds on to the pain.
"I'm sorry." Her soft voice whispered back.
"For what?"
"I made you stay here and sleep in my bed. I bet you didn't like that very much. . ." I sighed and grabbed her arm softly. She turned to me and looked down at the bed.
"Hey. . . You didn't make me do anything. I wanted to stay here with you and I really didn't want to sleep downstairs on your sofa. I'm glad you invited me to sleep in your bed." I said with a smile. Kami, at that moment I just wanted to spill all of my feelings to her. I didn't, of course. I've been keeping it inside for a year and I think I can keep it in a little bit longer. She nodded and put on a small smile.
"Come on, let's go downstairs." I offered. She nodded again as I stood from the bed. I stuck my hand out so I could help her off of the bed. She took it and I felt a jolt of excitement rush through me. Calm down, Inuyasha. I told myself. You're just holding her hand. It's funny how my conscience thinks it's a simple walk in the park holding her hand. I must really need psychiatric attention.
The easy part is pulling her off of the bed, since I'm still holding her hand. The hard part is letting go of her hand. Pathetic? Yeah, I know. It's just letting go. How hard can it be right? Then again, this coming from the love sick idiot who gets jealous when his best friend is talking to any guy in the entire school.
Slowly, I let my fingers slip off her hand until my hand went limp on the side of my hip. My had turned cold. I hate that. Anywhere she touches me and lets go, it gets as cold as an ice berg. I ignored my heat-less hand and followed after Kagome, who had already gone down the stairs. When I got down there, I was met with the same surprise as hers. There, in her living room, was the mess we had created last night. DVD cases were scattered on the floor and on the couch. Ice cream cartons were knocked over on the coffee table, leaving little puddles of melted ice cream on it. Pepsi bottles were on the floor as if they were bowling pins. The gigantic popcorn bowl was turned over on the couch and some pieces of popcorn were scattered on the couch as well.
You could just imagine the look Kagome and I had on our faces. Jaws dropped and looking absolutely mortified. There was only one thing that could make me laugh at that moment. As it ran through my mind, Kagome just happened to say it.
"I am going to get so fat from all this stuff." I just had to laugh at that. I knew she was going to say it sooner or later. I just knew it. My laughter didn't last too long because she began to glare at me and punched me in the arm.
"You were there! Why didn't you stop me?"
"Hey, I mentioned obesity to you but you ignored me." Hey, I did ask her if she was planning on becoming obese. You have to agree with me there. Am I right?
"I'm going to drink gallons of water to wash the sugar away before it gets to me." She said, probably to calm herself down rather than inform me. "After we clean this mess, of course." And with that, we walked over and began to clean. I took the humongous popcorn bowl into the kitchen and put it into the sink. Kagome took the Pepsi bottles and put them in her recycling bin. Sadly, she's one of the only people who actually recycles. Anyways, I picked up the ice cream cartons and threw them away. Now, all we had to do was clean the coffee table and pick up the popcorn. Then, I could go home. . . Even though I really didn't want to.
I went back into the kitchen and looked around for the broom. Nothing. Fantastic.
"Hey, Kagome? Where's the broom?"
"Check behind that door." She pointed to a big, white door. It looked a little old but not the kind that would fall off if you opened it. I walked over to the door and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge.
"There's something wrong with the door. It won't open." I said as I struggled to open the door.
"There's a lock on it. Look." I looked up the door and saw a silver slide-lock. You know, the ones where you slide them back and forth to open them.
"Why does it have a lock?"
"I don't really know. When my parents bought the house, that door already had a lock." I shrugged and opened the door, this time with ease. I retrieved the broom and went into the living room to pick up the mess. I swept up the popcorn and threw it away in the trash while Kagome cleaned the ice cream puddle off of the coffee table. We put the DVDs where they belonged. Kagome put away the cleaning supplies while I went to go put away the broom. I walked up to the old door and tried to open it. It wouldn't budge again. I looked up at the silver lock. The door was unlocked. I tried to open the door again but it was no use.
"Kagome, this door is stuck. It won't budge." I told her as i tried to open it.
"Is it locked?"
"No, it won't open." I put my two hands on the door handle and pulled. The door swung open right open and. . . BAM! I saw stars for a second before I felt myself hit the floor. Then, it went black. All I saw was black. I didn't know how long it had been until I heard something. It was like. . . A cry. A plea. Wake up. . . Wake up. . .I heard those words over and over. Then, I felt something shaking my body. The voice got louder and louder until I could hear it at full blast. When I recognized who it was, my eyes shot open. I regret they did because then I felt an enormous pain in my head. I blinked a few times and saw Kagome's face above me. She let out a sigh.
"Thank Kami you're okay." She whispered. I tried to sit up, but it failed when I started getting dizzy. I kept myself up with one hand.
"What happened?"
"You pulled the door open and it hit you on the head."
"I wish I wouldn't have done that. . ." I muttered and held my head. It was pounding hard. It was like my heart jumped int my head. Suddenly, I felt something soak the hand on my head. I let go of my head and looked at my hand. On my palm was a red liquid. Blood. "Ah, crap. . ."
"Oh my gosh! You're bleeding! Come on we have to clean it up." Kagome helped me off of her kitchen floor and into the living room. She had to hold my arm so I wouldn't fall. I have to admit, I kind of like this treatment. I should get hurt more often. She sat me down on the couch and went into the kitchen. I heard some rummaging before she came back into the room with a towel, rubbing alcohol, and a band-aid. She sat down next to me and put alcohol on the towel.
"Now, this is going to sting so hold still." She said to me. She really shouldn't worry so much. I'm a man. I can take a little 'sting'. Honestly, it can't be that bad. She leaned over and pressed the towel to my cut. I stiffened.
"Ahhh!!" I yelled out in pain and winced. I closed one eye and clenched my teeth. Wow, that stings! I didn't think it would hurt so much.
"Are you okay?" Kagome asked me. I looked over to her and she had bitten her lip. One side of my mouth curved up slightly.
"Y-Yeah. . . Just keep going." She continued to pat the cut. I winced a bit but that was all. It didn't sting that much anymore once you get used to it. Soon, she took the towel off and got the band-aid. She took the covering off and leaned over some more so she could put it on my head. I didn't mind her getting closer. I liked it, obviously. It was when she came back to my height that I began to get that uneasy feeling of wanting to kiss her again. She gave me a smile and my heart began to pound hard against my chest.
"There, all better." She said in her sweet voice. I could give in to that voice everyday. Heck, I do give into that voice everyday.
"Yeah, I feel great." I said. "You're one heck of a doctor." She blushed at my compliment and I smiled. Oh, Kami, now it's getting harder not to lean in. I used every little shred of will I had in me not to capture her lips with mine. Suddenly, she looked back at me and our eyes locked. I felt my will power being shattered instantaneously, but I still tried to hold back. I can't kiss her. It'll make things awkward again. I would rather have her in my life as a friend than not at all. I need her. I need her to stay with me. And if I keep trying to kiss her, than that will never happen.
In those few moments of thinking, I didn't realize that our faces got dangerously close. When I did realize, it was almost impossible for me to hold back. But, I did. The odd thing is, I'm sure I didn't move. I was too distracted in my thoughts to even move a milimeter towards her face. Unless. . . It wasn't me that was moving. . . It was her. But, that's not possible. She doesn't want to kiss me. I'm her best friend. She wouldn't want to kiss me. . . Right?
Our faces were centimeters from touching and she kept leaning in. I can't do this. I won't kiss her. Our faces got even closer to each other than before. She doesn't love me like I love her. We can't do this. Then, I felt her breath on my lips. I lost it.
In an instant, my arms wrapped around her waist and I pressed my lips against hers in a passion filled kiss. I felt alive again. Just as I did on New Years. Adrenaline coursed through my veins as I kissed her with everything. Her arms went around my neck and I pulled her closer to me. This has been one of the only things I wanted since New Years. To kiss her again. To feel this feeling. To have her in my arms like this. It's absolutely the best thing I have ever felt.
I didn't feel it at first because I was still hung over the fact that I was kissing her again, but I had picked her up and I was heading up the stairs. The door to her room was open so I just walked in. I set her down on the bed and positioned myself above her, never breaking heated kiss. We were going ahead of ourselves but this feeling was incredible. It is an undescribable feeling that you just need more of. I never want to feel anything else but the feeling. I don't want to feel it with anyone else but Kagome. I want to be with her forever.
I love you so much, Kagome Higurashi.
We kept our kiss going for a while until we broke apart for air. I stared down at her and wondered what was going through her mind. I wonder if she knew that she was leaning into me. Our gazes were locked again as we stared at each other. And with a small tug from Kagome's arms around my neck, I kissed her again. This time, it wasn't with so much passion. It wasn't with a needy feeling. It was with love. Just a simple loving kiss. A kiss that showed everything that I felt for her. Suddenly, she pulled away. I stared down at her and began to wonder if she thought that this was wrong for us to do. I wondered if she thought we should stop.
"Inuyasha. . . I--"
"Kagome! We're home!" The voice of Kagome's mother echoed through the house. I jumped off of Kagome immediately and we both ran down the stairs. When we got down there, we were panting. We had no air in our lungs. Maybe it was because of our kissing. . .
"Oh, Inuyasha. I didn't know you were here."
"Hey. . . Mrs. Higurashi. . ." I said between intakes of breath.
"Mom. . . What are you doing here. . . So early. . . I thought you guys were coming back. . . Tonight." Kagome panted.
"Well, I decided to surprise you! Did you two have fun while we were gone?" Kagome and I looked at each other and blushed.
"Um, you could say that, Mom." Kagome said, looking to the floor and shuffling her feet.
"Yeah, we had tons of fun." I said, scratching the back of my head, the blush still on my face.
Yeah. . . A real fun time to real fun time to remember.
A/N: Hope you liked this chapter! I honestly don't know where those last few paragraphs came from. Haha, my mind just went there for a second. I don't really know if this should be rated T anymore. I mean, there won't be any lemon but. . . I don't know, haha, I might have to raise it because of the part. Haha, maybe not. Well, I don't know. So, don't forget to R&R and, again, I'm sorry for not updating faster but I will try to get ideas for the next chapter. Until Next Time!
