All Change In Time

♥

It had been several weeks since the entire incident at Naraku’s castle had ended, and the gossip was still far from subsiding. The villagers had always been easily excitable, but Kagome was almost annoyed at the way they used her as a centerpiece for every conversation between two people. The saga had even reached Kouga’s den, and a bit more gossip was stirred when he arrived on the scene, demanding that he be permitted to his future mate to make sure she was unharmed. This made Inuyasha furious, but he was subsided by a chaste kiss on the cheek by Kagome before she flew out of the hut to greet her concerned friend.

Now spring had arrived, the productive rainy season allowing a wonderful array of flowers and trees to go into bloom. Cherry blossoms stemmed from their branches and littered the dirt paths, creating a perfect contrast between heavy shades of brown and pink. But the most impressive attribute of spring was the new ritual of Kagome and Inuyasha taking strolls through the woods, discussing private events between them. It had taken several walks to ease the rage of Inuyasha by telling of Kagome’s first moments with Sesshomaru, but he did not feel resentment toward her for allowing herself to be taken.

It was on such a walk when Inuyasha fell back a step, causing Kagome to turn and face him. Her face was expectant and trusting, and she spoke his name softly as she reached out her hand, offering to lead him along. Some times he would do this…merely because what she would tell him of her journey would hurt his heart so badly that he would not have the will to walk further. But instead of taking her hand, he looked her in the eyes and licked his lips, obviously contemplating something very important to him.

“ Kagome?”

Kagome lifted her brows and smiled in response, wondering what he wanted to say. But Inuyasha couldn’t form the words, and he averted his gaze shyly, a blush spreading over the bridge of his nose. A breeze lifted his hair over his face to graciously cover his embarrassment, but Kagome would not let him get away with the distraction without a fight. She stepped near him, brushing the white curtain from him with a gentle sweep. “ Inuyasha, what is it?”

She was somewhat hurt that he didn’t think he could tell her anything that ran through his head, but she was soothed when he met her stare again, the amber holding her captive within their depths. She always felt such a passive calm when he looked at her like that.

“ Kagome,” he started again, clasping his hands in front of him nervously, “ did you mean what you said at the castle just before you died? Did you really mean to say that you loved me?”

Kagome drew back as though he had hit her, clutching one hand to the side of her face. She drew in a small gasp, her brows meddling together with a furrow, truly affected by his chatter. “ Inuyasha! How could you ever doubt me on something like that?!”

She made to turn away from him, but she was stopped when he grabbed her wrist, his hand overtaking the small joint. She did not meet his gaze, and was about to order him to sit when suddenly his face was before her, and he surged against her with a passionate cry. The kiss was heavy and almost overwhelming, but the sweet presses of his lips to her own made her sigh weakly, turning her anger into a puddle of the past. Inuyasha’s eyes, which had been open to watch her reaction, finally closed as he draped his arms around her, caressing the fine back of her hair.

He did not want to end the kiss, feeling that as soon as their mouths parted, she would absolutely slay him with her words of disgust. But when he finally decided he had to breath, he took a sharp breath and studied her face as she blushed, her eyes fluttering open to pin point him. “ Inuyasha?”

He did not want her to speak against him…he only wanted to show her how he felt. Gently, with little more than a croon running through his lips, he hushed her by placing one index finger on the swollen lips he had been ravaging moments before. “ Do you love me?” When she nodded, he smiled sweetly and leaned forward, grazing her mouth with his teeth before whispering huskily, “ I love you too, Kagome.”

Her reaction was simple…a kiss. She met him with a force that was surprising, but he welcomed the fierce tangle, letting her dominate his mouth with a bold tongue. They tangled like this for a few minutes, fighting a brave war, but in the end, Inuyasha claimed victory by rubbing his nails delicately down the slop of her back. She giggled, thus forfeiting the battle, and he grinned while she batted playfully at his chest. Then to provoke the games, she shoved herself away from him and tossed a laugh over her shoulder, retreating down the path in order to tease her companion.

Inuyasha was not fooled by the mockery of anger, and he gave chase soon enough, lapping her completely with a graceful sort of bounce in his step. He was easily triple her speed, and she knew this, but she pretended not tticetice the way in which he circled her with a few leaps and bounds.

They continued down the path like this until she grew tired, her chest heaving as she bent over to catch her breath. Inuyasha, grinning impishly, pinched at her vulnerable fanny in a most unusual boldness. She squeaked and swatted at him, trying to seem offended, but she could not fool her perceptive lover. He leaned forward, nipping at her nose, and she blinked, trying to decide what was more odd for him…his pinch of his nip. While she was contemplating, he overtook her in a large hug, burying his face in her hair with a quiet sigh. This won the ribbon for his most weird behavior. However, she did not refuse such a gesture and folded her hands peacefully across his back, her fingers tugging at small bits of his red robe. She tucked her forehead on his chest, listening to the steady beating of his heart while a small smile thinned her mouth.

Inuyasha leaned back a bit, looking Kagome in the eyes again, but he had a different gaze to him this time. He seemed pained, but there was a wholesoappiappiness that controlled that pain. Kagome asked him of his concerns, but he blushed madly and resumed holding her tightly, before his lips again found hers, and this time there was no nipping. There was just a simple passion to it that made Kagome weak at the knees, and she was force to tighten her hold on Inuyasha’s costume in order to remain standing.

“ Kagome,” Inuyasha started as he ended the contact, “ do you want to be with me?”

Kagome’s eyes brimmed with tears, and he looked at her with instant regret, but he didn’t have a chance to run away and hide before she whispered, “ Yes. I would do anything to be with you forever, Inuyasha.”

Inuyasha waited no more, but instead slowly removed his arms from Kagome and let them instead fall to the slender edge of her hips, holding her waist in a trembling, vise-like grip. She blushed feverishly, but to break this charming image of innocence, she nuzzled her face into his chest, letting her eyes do all the talking. Understanding that he had been given permission to further investigate, he let his shivering fingertips trace up to her collarbones, licking his lips nervously as he tugged at the green collar of her uniform. The white buttons began to fall from their holes, allowing him to gaze carefully at the white lace that was her bra.

T was was comedy in all portions of Inuyasha, and as Kagome’s shirt fell away, he stared in confusion at the bit of cloth that wrapped around her breasts. He had never seen such a thing! Wondrously, he poked one finger at it, causing Kagome’s eyes to open, and she laughed gently as she moved a step back from Inuyasha. Inuyasha retaliated with a grin and commented on just how bizarre her world was, but he crossed his eyes when she reached behind her and removed the bra, letting her breasts fall free from the lacy confines. They were not of full adultery like most men fantasized, but instead they were small and perky, the nipples resembling two pink dots on minor hills. But Inuyasha was not disappointed…rather he knelt forward, taking the left on in the palm of his hand, truly speechless at the beauty of such common objects.

Kagome’s blush deepened when he began to play with them, his face contorted into an expression of child-like amazement, but she was not angered with his antics. She knew that in order to understand, one must be exposed…and she highly doubted that Inuyasha would have experienced himself in the matters of playing with a woman’s breasts. She encouraged him by giving soft sighs once his finger wandered over an erect nipple, the sensitive flare sparking heat in her bosom.

Inuyasha grinned impishly, before kissing each mound with tender affection, and then raised his mouth to meet hers, coaxing another moan while he absently flicked the same spot again. The kiss was off somewhat as he grinned again, but he did not grin in order to poke fun at her. To prove this, he put both hands at the small of her back, lavishing her nearer to him, in order to deepen their connection. The sensation of her breasts pushing into his chest made him yearn to be shirtless with her, and this pleading thought was desirably met when Kagome slipped her hands flatteringly up his front and let the shoulders of his robe fall away to the ground, exposing his plain white shirt. She disposed of that as well, having to fight him to get his arms over his head in order to remove it, but in the head, she was rewarded with the sleek bronze of his skin.

She admired the tone greatly, her eyes wandering along every inch of his visage, before she noticed she was embarrassing him. He smiled a bit, before she took her fingertips and traced from his cheekbone to the hemline of his pants, and he flushed up to the tips of his ears, rousing a charitable giggle from his lover. Kagome lowered her mouth to his neck, using her teeth to break a groan from Inuyasha’s mouth, and she lathered the pulsing throat with her tongue before moving devilishly down to the slant of his shoulders, nipping playfully along the warm layout.

Inuyasha decided he had enough of letting her torture him with such awesome desire, and so he roughly took her breasts in his hands, urging a shocked sign of pleasure from Kagome. Amusement lightened his expression, and he leaned down, taking the hem of her skirt with the brook of his thumps, before letting them fall over her hips and down to the floor along with the rest of their discarded clothes. She (of course) had on underwear, but he was familiar with this attire’s use, and had no trouble in plucking her free of such sultry bonds.

He took a step back, modeling her naked before him. She did not cover herself in shame, but put her hands on her hips in an exasperated manner, her lips forming a delicious pout as he made no movement before her. “ I’ve had all my shots, Inuyasha. I don’t bite.”

He let a laugh evade his mouth as he took her in his arms, chewing on the softest part of her earlobe with a dark whisper. “ I would find it exciting if you did.”

Kagome was not normally subject to such talk, but in the confidence of Inuyasha, she felt more apt to indulge such talk. “ Well then maybe I will a little.”

He did not extend the conversation, but his hand did manage to find the triangular mound between her legs, commanding that she part the appendages with a prodding finger. She obliged instinctively, biting her lower lip while he investigated inside her, the rouge digit relishing the warmth she provided. Her skin flamed, making him smile down at her, but he gently shifted her into one arm, so that her back pressed securely against his bare chest. It was followed by him forcing his finger up further within her, exploring the new territory, and he listened to her soft moan while her head lolled back on his shoulders restlessly. He was indeed not experienced in the art of making love, nor had he ever been accepted to do something like this, but he was certain that he was doing something right. However…he was not a patient creature, and he turned her back toward him with a hurried kiss, before making small hints that he wanted to be nude just as she was.

Kagome obeyed, tucking her slender hands into his pants and tugging on it impulsively, before she took one hand to her mouth, seeing Inuyasha completely without clothes for the first time. He was superb all over, glistening with his long work of fitness and trembling with his desire to have her to himself. She was proud to be claimed by him…and she proved it by not shying away or averting her stare. Instead, she drove straight up against him, feeling the length press against her sex with tantalizing force. She shivered, the motion carrying down her spine, and he sensed her eagerness in the way she met his lips with a animalistic tango of her tongue and teeth. He was swelling with his lust, unable to keep his hands from shaking as they found their way to her waist again, and he lifted her up and against him, setting her gently against the smooth bark of a cherry tree that shaded them both from the sun.

They looked into each other’s eyes, confirming that the event was a part of reality and granting permission for it to continue into its true purpose. Then with a small silence between them, Inuyasha tilted himself up and then completely fell against her, allowing her weight to embrace him. Kagome let out a soft cry, holding his neck tightly in her arms, before they both began to shift tirelessly together, following a rhythm that was impressively strong and consistent.

Her legs took little time in order to wrap around his waist, the heel interlocking with the reflexive need to not have him away from her until her inner fire had been satisfied. Indeed, he had no plans of retreating from her, and his fingernails dug almost painfully into her hips where he pushed and pulled her along with him, making her eyes close wistfully. They continued this way until Inuyasha began to loose the control of his breath, and Kagome let a thin whine linger in the back of her throat. Even though they were ebbing in their togetherness, they still remained as one, until at last they each arrived at an orgasm that shook the forest in ecstasy. Inuyasha meekly saved Kagome when she began to fall forward, letting them both fall on the forest floor in an embrace of pure, uninterrupted love. For once they were both happy, murmuring soft vows while they sleepily nuzzled against the other’s skin, and then Kagome surrendered to sleep, uttering her love one last time before her eyes fell shut and her smile faded into a peaceful look of slumber.

Inuyasha smiled generously to her, finally understanding just what it meant to love and be loved. He looked at the sky with a small token of appreciation, sending a mild prayer of debt to his brother Sesshomaru, who had not seen since he had brought Kagome back to him. His apologies and prayers coming to a close, he grazed Kagome’s lips with a brief kiss before he too rested his head down, letting sleep overcome it.

It had turned out to be a happy ending after all.
