Chapter 29. Kissing?
Inu-yasha looked around at the white clock that hung on the wall. It read two a clock. Time to wake Kagome up to leave the hospital. He looked down at the sleeping beauty and sighed. Inu-yasha didn't want to wake her. She looked so peaceful. He reached over to wake her up, his chest felt tight. Like his heart was beating against it.
He gently placed a clawed hand on her shoulder. Inu-yasha's heart almost jumped out of his chest. Her shoulder was covered in silky hair and it was warm to the touch. Inu-yasha blinked stupidly down at his hand. It was stupid but he felt like he had been frozen for ever and he was being melted by her warmth. He shook his head and tried to ignore the feelings that were trying there hardest to steal his breath away from him, and they were wining the battle.
"Kagome…." He whispered softly to her. Inu-yasha slowly shook her shoulder. "Kagome… Its time to get up and get ready to go home." He tried to ignore the way his heart beat raced at the thought of sharing a home with her. Of taking her home with him… To see her every morning… To see her when ever he wanted… It would be a haven, paradise. Something that he didn't deserve. Not someone like him, never something like him.
His attention returned to Kagome as she moved a little. She rolled over on to her side and sighed. Inu-yasha blushed as his hand was trapped under her side. It wasn't so much that his hand was trapped, but the fact that his hand now was touching something soft and round in his cupped palm. He tried to get it out with out having her wake up, but when he moved a little Kagome moved as well and wrapped her arms around his arm and hugged it against her breasts. They were soft and well shaped globs. Inu-yasha gulped and tried again to get her hands of his arm. This time he slipped it out of her grasp, but to get it out he had to slid his arm along her breasts… Not a smart idea.
A certain part of his body fond this exiting. He tried to ignore the way her breasts felt against his arm. It felt like it was burned on to his arm. Inu-yasha closed his eyes and tried to calm down. He had to put those feelings out of his mind. His love and arousal would mean nothing to her. The hate he felt for himself would not let him do any thing to his angel. He gently shook her again being careful not to let her get a hold of his arm again, even though a secret part of him wanted it so.. So much so that it actually became a physical pain. But he wouldn't let the pain control him, he had dealt with pain before and he knew he would again. It was now a part of his life. In some ways it always had been.
" …Inu-yasha…..?" Kagome asked sleepily. He looked down in to her drowsy blue eyes and felt lost. He was drowning in her sleep softened gaze. Inu-yasha couldn't stop himself before it was to late. He leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips. It was haven. His heart felt like it exploded. Her lips were soft and swollen from sleep. He let his hand get tangled in her silky raven mane. Inu-yasha moved his mouth against hers slowly, savoring the silky friction her lips made were against his.
He absently felt Kagome mover her hands to cradle his head with her arms, holding him in place. One of her hands run threw his silver hair to tenderly touch his right puppy ear. He couldn't help but purr a deep sound that came from deep with in his throat. Inu-yasha let his tongue slip out of his lips, just so he could get a taste of her lips. He gasped softly at the taste of her. Inu-yasha knew some were deep in his soul the he would be forever addicted to the taste of her lips. He couldn't stop running his tongue along the seam of her lips. Kagome sighed softly as she opened her lips shyly to his probing tongue. He slipped it in to her mouth and almost died with the pleasure of her taste.
He touched her tongue, she was slowly learning how to kiss as her tongue dueled with his. Inu-yasha sat down on the bed, and pulled her in to him arms. This brought her against his chest, against the rapid beating of his heart. He was just about to lift her in to his lap, when some one cleared their throat behind them.
They pulled away like they had been burned. Inu-yasha swung his around to see who had caught them. He color bloomed in his face as he spotted his father standing in the door way grinning. Then he realized that Kagome was half way in to his lap and that he had been kissing her. Color drained from his face and he looked down ashamed. His father cleaned his throat again and walked in. Inu-yasha laid Kagome back down on the bed and stood.
"Well I see you two are feeling better." Inu-yashio laughed. As he smiled down at them. His smiled faded as he noticed Inu-yasha was so stiff, and was pail. "Inu-yasha?" Inu-yashio asked softly to his son, who looked like he was going to do something stupid. He tried to look at his eyes but Inu-yasha wouldn't look up from the floor.
Inu-yasha walked passed his father and walked to the door. He paused before he went out. He kept his back to his father and Kagome. Back rigid as a board, his shoulders slumped down. His voice came to then, so that they had to lean in to hear him. His voice was deep and sad.
" I'm… Sorry Kagome I shouldn't have done that. Please forgive me." He said in deep sadness that seemed to spread across his soul in an endless abyss of pain and sorrow. "Dad… I.. Will you help Kagome pack? I will meet you at the house later…" Inu-yasha walked out the door with out looking back once.
"Inu-yasha! Come back!" Kagome called after him, springing from the bed as if it were on fire. She tried to fallow him, but she still was to weak. Kagome ran out of breath half way to the door. She sank to the floor and stared at the door as if it had done her a terrible crime. "Damn it Inu-yasha…" She whispered under her breath. Her lips still burned from the feel of his. Almost as if they still lingered there.
Kagome raised her hand to her mouth, to huge the sensation of his lips on them. She had been so shock when he had lean down and kissed her. Kagome would never for get how he had been so passionate and open when he had kissed her. If his father hand not come in, she would have been in his lap. To be able to run her hands throw his hair and touch his eyes with out him pulling away was the best thing. How he had kissed her as if she meant every thing to him, had meant more to him then the very air he breathed.
Kagome sighed and let the romantic thought pass her by. She couldn't get her hopes up. He would never want her, he deserved someone better then her. A warm hand settled on her shoulder, startling her out of her reverie. She looked up in eyes so much like Inu-yasha's.
" Kagome, come on lets get you packed and settled in to my son's home." He said gently. Kagome blushed and got up from the floor. ' His son's home'. What did he think of having under his son's roof? She walked over to the cloths Inu-yasha had set out for her. She picked up one of the white skirts and a light blue tank top. She hurried to the bath room and got dress while Inu-yashio packed all the cloths and her stuff.
Every thing fit like it was made for her and she couldn't help but wonder how Inu-yasha knew her size. She walked out of the bathroom after brushing her hair and teeth. Inu-yashio had packed most of the stuff already and was waiting on her. Kagome took a deep breath and smiled up at the man that could be Inu-yasha's twin if he was younger.
Inu-yashio smiled at her and picked up her bags and offered her his arm. " Well, are you ready to get out of this hospital room and final be able to see color?" He asked her good naturally. Kagome couldn't help but smile back. She had indeed missed color very much. White was so dull after a while.
"Yes I believe I am. I've missed color. And also the food here is terrible." Kagome told him, with a laugh. He laugh, a deep throaty sound.
" Why Kagome I never knew you were the one to complain! What about my son's cooking? I fear that you will be food poisoned by the end of the week." He told her. She laughed as they walked down the stairs, heading for the front desk. She smiled trying to forget how Inu-yasha had abandoned her.
" Do you mean I have to cook? Cook or face food poison?" Kagome asked, trying to sound scandalized, but failing to keep a strait face.
" Indeed. Ah.. Here we are. You sit here Kagome as I check you out." Inu-yashio said as get lead her to a chair in the waiting from in front of the front desk. Kagome sat down and waited for him to check her out. She was left to think about Inu-yasha. Why had he kissed her and then left her? Did this mean that he liked her, if only a little? Kagome couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her mouth and sigh. She loved the feel of his lips on hers. Never would she forget how soft and silky they had felt against hers.
Kagome slumped in her chair and looked sadly down at her hands that she had folded in her lap. Did she do something that scared him? Was she that bad of a kisser that he would run away from her? She had wanted to make him happy, but maybe she was just to stupid to do that. How could she make him forget that sadness in his eyes? Could she even come close to that?
Tears burned at her eyes and she let them fall. Feeling stupid for crying in from of people in the waiting room. Soon Inu-yashio would be back and what would he say if he saw her crying over nothing? Kagome whipped at her tears feeling more and more pathetic as the seconds went by. She had just managed to stop crying as Inu-yashio cam back and took her to his car. She had the horrifying feeling that he knew she had been crying.
" Kagome you have to understand this from my son's point of view." He said softly as he pulled out of the hospital parking lot. Kagome didn't feel sorry to watch the hospital sink out of sight, they really did have horrible food. But as Inu-yashio's words came in to her mind she blinked and looked over at him.
"W- what do you mean?" She asked nervously. Kagome fidgeted with her skirt.
" You know what I mean Kagome. He needs time. He doesn't think he's good enough for you. You should know that." He told her sternly.
"I know in a way. But some times I think it's the other way around. He deserves someone that will love him over everything. Someone that will take the sadness from his eyes." Kagome said softly feeling weird having this conversation with Inu-yasha's father.
" And you don't think you can take that sadness from his eyes? You believe there's someone out there that would love him deeper then you do? Do you really believe that?" Inu-yashio asked. Kagome hesitated for a moment before she answered him.
" I…. I love Inu-yasha with all my heart… I want to take that sadness for his eye's. I want to so bad, but I don't think I can. I've tried hard to take it away, but nothing I do helps. I cant help feeling like I've failed him in some way. How can I be the one that loves him with every thing they have? If I cant make him happy?" Kagome asked. Inu-yashio sighed.
" That sadness may never go away. Many will try to take it from him, but I don't think it will ever truly go away. But I believe you are the one for him, you just have to see that. There isn't one person in the world that he trusts more then you. He went away for seven years and when he came back and found out that you were in a hospital he went to your side the second he found out. Who do you think he cares for most?" Inu-yashio asked. Kagome stared out the window of the car and thought about all the times Inu-yasha had come to her aid. She gulped and looked over at Inu-yashio and smiled. "See? Never has he left you on your own, not if he had the choice. He has always been at your side." He told her.
" That means that he has to care for me just a little? If he does that I can get him to love me some how. I will do my best… That is if you and Lily don't mind." Kagome asked shyly. Inu-yashio beamed.
" We would be honored if you could help our son." He said proudly, deciding not to tell her that Inu-yasha already loved her. They would have to work that out on their own. He couldn't wait to see how long it took to crack Inu-yasha when his mate was trying her best to get his heart. He laughed to himself as he thought of the happiness Inu-yasha could have if only he would give in to Kagome.
Kagome had no idea what Inu-yashio was thinking but she didn't care that the moment. She was planning. How could she get Inu-yasha to fall in love with her? She had a feeling that the next few weeks were going to be exciting. She smiled her heart feeling lighter almost like it had when Inu-yasha had kissed her.
