After a moment, Kagome called for him and when he refused to come down, she sighed and said "sit". She closed her eyes as he landed with a yelp and a thump.
"Hey what the hell was that for?" Inuyasha growled with anger as he lifted his head. He hated being sit but it hit him suddenly that he would rather be sat then lose Kagome. What if this was the last time? He suddenly froze and raised his golden eyes to meet hers. Regret, fear, anger and pain swirled through his as he continued to meet her eyes. Tears welled as she realized that her actions were the cause of such a look.
"Inuyasha. You came for me. I'm safe." She said softly and moved until her arms were around him. She wanted to him to feel her and to understand that she was there and whole.
"Kagome." She heard him say her name softly as he sat up and pulled her in his arms. She felt him push her more securely into him and she felt surrounded by his warmth and his body. She sighed for a second and closed her eyes. She suddenly felt tired. After the trauma that she went through, she felt exhaustion slowly creep over her.
Inuyasha felt bewildered since she had never curled up in his lap before and for a moment he thought to move her but he realized that he needed to feel this. He needed to feel her. He had to know that she was still alive and he wasn't quite ready to relinquish her yet. He heard her soft sigh as she snuggled against his chest, released a sigh that was his name and fell into a deep sleep.
