"The dreams created from a pure soul had to die,

for the rest to be born."

Kagome believed she could stare at InuYasha for hours, while he rested in the way he was now on the bed; her bed. She observed him, there, drifting amidst a dream as the white sheets covered a strategic part of his body. Her mind even came to ponder if there wasn't something in the unconscious that protected men from nudity. The skin on his abdomen and shoulders was tensed, due to the position of his arm, resting over his head despite the pillow beneath it. She noted the way her fingers tingled from the temptation of touching and caressing the smoothness and firmness entering her gaze, then she took a deep breath, trying to hide that desire behind the steaming cup of coffee she had in her hands. She took a small sip, her eyes lingering on InuYasha through the delicate layer of vapor the liquid let out. She licked her lips next, and her shoulders shook, as if suddenly assaulted by a cold breeze that invaded the room. Even so, Kagome knew the chill had come from the memory of such a body joined with hers during the previous night. Her previous deep breath came out as a sigh then, and she hid behind her cup of coffee again, a mocking smile on her features before her own inner, radical restlessness.

And so, she chose to recall the rest of moments of these days together.

Her mind went to the night stroll they took through the streets illuminated by the coming Christmas. The way in which he had carefully adjusted the hat he had given her as a gift for her job promotion. She also recalled the surprised gaze he had shown her before such news; a memory she carefully recollected, for she had learnt to read InuYasha, and although she was sure that there were still new things to know about him, she had the impression, back then, that the golden of his eyes had become perturbed, somehow. Even so, he had shown himself genuinely happy for her achievement, which had in turn dimmed any doubt she may had held. She knew that this new post would force her to spend more time at the office, and that travelling to Nakano would become more taxing; however, she believed that as long as he were by her side, she could handle anything.

She found comfort in the thought, her hand reaching to InuYasha's hair, gently pushing some of his silvery locks aside to better look at his features. It was then, when Kagome felt the weight of the emotion of loving him in her chest; an emotion that had found nest in there for a long time, and although it had been hard for her to accept it, it was now part of her.

She heard InuYasha's making a different sound when breathing, and recognized the gesture in his shrugging shoulders as one done when close to waking up. After that, he turned his head, and looked at her through the slit that were his eyes, hiding a golden shine that could illuminate her even when she wasn't close.

"Hey, you," he said.

"Hey, you," she smiled.

A/N

I love to write about these InuKag. I feel them as two beings who are discovering things about themselves, as they also discover what they can be together; and all of it, little by little, as they feel their life.

Thank you for reading and commenting!

Kisses,
