Kindergarten Flirting

Back in kindergarten, your mother would tell you that if a boy pulls your pigtails he likes you, and if he dips them in paint he loves you. That goes for the rest of your life too. Moreover, when you're an adult and work for the Hottest Man of the Year.

The car ride was bearable; Inuyasha asked Kagome where she wanted to go and she responded by saying his place. Needless to say Inuyasha was quite surprised but he did as he was told. His heart was racing a mile a minute; he was still dumbstruck over the fact that she told him that he was more important than work.

It was the good kind of dumbstruck.

He pulled into the roundabout and threw his keys at the valet before guiding Kagome into his mansion. Inuyasha's hand was on the small of her back and the doorman opened the front gate for them, nodding at them in acknowledgement.

"UNCLE INU!" Within a matter of seconds, Shippo tackled Inuyasha. Before he had time to respond, Shippo turned to Kagome and grinned.

"KAGOME!"

Laughing, Kagome caught the tackling fur ball and affectionately nuzzled him to her cheek. Rin flew down the stairs and grinned at Inuyasha and Kagome. "Why are you two here? Shouldn't you be at work?" she called from the balcony that overlooked the main foyer. Kagome looked up and grinned.

"Today is Let-Your-Staff-Eff-Up-Your-Company Day." Rin burst into laughter; Kagome kept talking. "We're trying to figure out how long it'll take for the company to be burned to the ground and for Yura to call us, crying."

Rin raised her eyebrow as she descended the flight of stairs. Inuyasha coughed. "She's being a dick; what actually happened is that I heard something from Naraku that I didn't want to—"

"So I clocked us out from work for the rest of the afternoon so we can just kick back and relax here." Kagome smiled; she was still holding onto Shippo. Rin smiled widely.

"How TWEET!"

"The word is sweet," Inuyasha muttered sarcastically. "Learn how to speak properly."

Rin snorted. "Oh shut up, little brother." She approached Kagome and plucked her son off of the woman's arms. "Shippo and I have a dentist appointment today and then we're getting his hair cut. Izayoi is at her book club and Sesshy is at work. Will you two children behave without a supervising adult in the vicinity?"

"Rin, I am this close to shoving you into a closet and locking you in there." Inuyasha brought his thumb and his index finger a hairs width from each other. Rin glowered at her brother-in-law before huffing and stalking off with her son in her arms.

"You are so rude. Kagome, good luck tryna calm his sorry behind." Rin glanced over her shoulder. "When he's in a pissy mood he's that much more difficult to deal with."

Kagome giggled and before Inuyasha could respond, his sister-in-law slipped into her sandals and left the mansion with her son. Sighing, Inuyasha rubbed his temples before asking Kagome what she wanted to do. She placed a hand on his arm and said that they could go relax in his bedroom if he wanted. Nodding, he wrapped an arm around her shoulder and guided her to his humble abode.

Inuyasha opened the door and kicked it shut behind him. Without word, he loosened his tie and jumped onto his bed, cuddling into his silk sheets. Kagome sat down on one of the armchairs that were in front of his fireplace. She stared at his resting figure.

"You okay?" she whispered.

His response was muffled due to his face being buried into his pillow; a distinct no. Sighing, Kagome got up and approached the bed; she sat down and ran her fingers down the length of his back—she was caressing him. Inuyasha felt his hair stand on end.

"There's no solid proof that Kaoru is the one that murdered your father," Kagome murmured. "Ryuukotsusei is just going on a whim here."

"Naraku and Ryuukotsusei don't do anything unless they're positive it'll produce results." Inuyasha rolled around so that he was facing Kagome. His hand caught the fingers that were caressing his back. "You should know that by now."

Kagome sighed, but nodded. Inuyasha tugged her hand and she leaned toward him, resting her chin on his chest. Her body was still in a seated position so Inuyasha grabbed her around her waist and hauled her onto the bed entirely. She was lying down on top of him at this point. His hands were playing with the ends of her tendrils and her fingers were tracing patterns on his broad shoulders.

"Thank you," he murmured. "For… this."

Kagome smiled up at him before kissing his chest. "Anytime. It's the least I could do after everything you've done for me."

He was silent, but studied her. He drank in her features, the perfection of her face, the tenderness in her eyes—Inuyasha tried to comprehend how a human being could be so beautiful. Kagome watched him watch her; her heart began racing. Pushing herself forward, she pressed her lips against his. He was taken by shock, at first, but quickly recovered and tightened his hold on her.

It was a soft kiss.

Comforting.

Inuyasha rolled Kagome over so that he was straddling her, but they continued to kiss with the same comforting feel that they were previously. Her hands were placed on his shoulders and their lips were teasing one another; dancing. Her eyelids fluttered open to momentarily see Inuyasha kissing her with his eyes closed before she closed her own. Her left index finger trailed the column of his neck.

Inuyasha had his hands cup her face while his knees kept his weight off of her body. He wanted to forget what he heard Naraku say. He wanted to drown in Kagome's loving…

"Kagome," he croaked. She made a sound in her throat to show that she acknowledged him.

"I love you…"

Kagome's eyes opened and she studied Inuyasha. His eyes were filled with serene emotion and it made her heart pound against her ribcage. She ran her tongue over his lower lip before whispering, ever so softly: "I like you too."

That was it.

That was enough for Inuyasha. It was the closest he could get to an I Love You, so he'd take it. He smashed his lips onto hers and devoured them; learning every corner of her mouth, trying to memorize the feel of her tongue…

Due to fanfiction's rating policy, the lemon has been removed but can still be found on my mediaminer account. Link is in my profile.

Closing his eyes, Inuyasha felt his demon gnawing at him to be set free, but he knew if he did then his demon was claim Kagome as his mate. That wouldn't be a good thing—he fought the urge to feel ultimate pleasure and concentrated solely on Kagome.

What she did for him today, he'd never forget.

And he was going to use his body to show her; to shower her with never ending affection.

Kagome…

.xx.

She laid beside him, naked, her fingers trailing up and down his chest. His arm was around her shoulder and her head was resting on his arm, a small smile permanently affixed to her face. That was amazing. More than amazing, it was perfect. It was better than the last time, and that was solely because Kagome allowed him to show her the meaning of all the pleasures in the world.

"What's on your mind?" he murmured as he pushed a lock of her hair off of her face.

"You," she murmured cutely. Inuyasha chuckled. "What about you?"

Shrugging, he looked back up at the ceiling. "About how amazing you are." He turned back and smiled at her. His ears were tweaking, trying to catch the sound of any of his family members returning home. "How lucky I am to have you in my life."

Kagome grinned. "I know, I'm priceless."

Snorting, Inuyasha playfully flicked her nose. "I wouldn't go that far."

"Hey!"

"Joking!"

Rolling her eyes, Kagome rolled away from Inuyasha and glanced at the wall clock across the room. It was almost two in the afternoon. Sighing, she rolled back to Inuyasha and he wrapped his arm around her once more. The silence was fitting, their aura's dancing as one, their bodies united in the most intimate way—it was perfect.

"You alright, though?" she murmured. Inuyasha knew what Kagome was talking about and nodded slowly.

"I am. Thank you."

She kissed his shoulder. "Anytime." His hand began playing with the ends of her hair.

"What're you plans for tomorrow?"

This time Kagome shrugged. "Work, work, and more work. We're getting ready to launch Puppy Trails."

"Have you found the cover girl yet?"

"No… I was actually thinking of asking Sango?" She looked up at Inuyasha. He glanced at her for a second before looking back up at the ceiling.

"That could work. It'd make Miroku happy, since he's in charge of getting the photographs to the printing team." Kagome laughed and nodded in agreement.

"I'll ask her tonight, she and Kohaku are coming over to greet Souta."

"Oh yeah!" Inuyasha began sitting up. "Let's head to the hospital early so we can prepare for his return…"

"It's only two!"

Inuyasha grinned cheekily at the woman beside him. "Yeah but we have to shower and eat."

Kagome paused and raised her eyebrow. "Do you mean shower with me while you eat me?"

"You read my mind. Now let's go."

"Inuyasha! There's only so much sex a human can have!"

"I'm half human."

"I'm FULL human."

He crossed his arms and glared at Kagome playfully. "Keh, you'll learn."

She shook her head. "Oh, Inu—YASHA!" she shrieked when he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "You could've at least WARNED me."

"Nuh uh. Come on, there's an oval tub in my bathroom."

Kagome couldn't help but laugh… At least he wasn't thinking of Kaoru Morimoto and the death of his father. Inuyasha kicked his bathroom door open and gently placed Kagome in the tub. She raised her eyebrow at him as he went to dim the lights…

"Quite the romantic, aren't you?"

"Don't complain." He shut the bathroom door and got into the tub beside her. Without word, he pressed his lips against hers as he reached over to turn the faucet on. Smiling into the kiss, Kagome wrapped her arm around his shoulder.

Inuyasha, she softly thought to herself, I think I may love you back…
