The nightmares
They still slept together, his arm round her waist and his tail covering her like a duvet, but now it was a bed they slept in when they did not wish to continue lying under the stars. Nothing intimate took place; she was not ready to launch into a relationship of that sort with him after they had only really just confessed their love for one another. When she had been concerned and wary about sharing a bed, as if being in a bed made things different than sleeping in each other's arms anywhere else, he had been forced to tell her the true reason why he wished them to continue to lay with one another. It took much wincing and stuttering but he got it out eventually.
It had been a while, and he believed himself he should have gotten over it by now, he was not a kit, but he had not. The horrors of the beating he took still attacked him every night like Inutaisho refused to let him live without unleashing his anger upon him. He did not tell her what the nightmares were about, not exactly in any case, just that they were about the 'accident' that caused him to be so hurt and he was consequently having trouble sleeping. She was the only one who kept the nightmares away, he only hoped she did not ask him why because he did not know and when he told her that it would just make him seen like a hormone driven youth looking for a reason, any reason to get her into bed with him.
Contrary to what he feared Kagome felt empathy for his short answer of you keep my nightmares away, understanding his situation completely and did not belittle him at all. She did not ask him why either, he was sure she knew he did not know the answer, he was not Touga, he would look after her, he truly loved her and wanted to sleep with her because he wanted to keep her safe and it made him feel safe. It was not that he did not want to do anything intimate, because he did, but it was because he loved her, not just her body, and it was for this reason he also did not try anything. She said they could sleep together every night if he wished, for that he was thankful. Unspoken he told himself that he would lie in her arms until the stars fell from the heavens, he loved, she loved, they loved together.
He started to give her presents too, in his mind he was courting her, he just did not know whether she knew this or not. It was one of the best months of his life, just him and Kagome and Shippou, they acted like a family. He was able to start training pretty soon after they arrived in his lands and she watched him every time, cheering. In those moments he felt as though he could take on Hiroki. He felt like the young man he was all those years ago, and that month was like the years he spent with Sakura, only it was better, because no one compares to your first love.
After that month he carried her to the well and he and Shippou said their goodbyes. She jumped down the well to visit home and he waited for her to come back. The days turned to weeks and he started to get worried. She had not said she would be back soon but he had assumed she would not be long. He tried to go after her but the well would not let her through. He told himself it meant nothing but he still visited the well every day, and eventually a month and a half later she returned to him and he could not hold back any longer.
