Consuming Dreams

"Welcome back." The old miko said as she greeted them at her front door.
"Hey, Keade!" Said the ever spunky Shippou as she bounced from the basket and raced to give Keada a hug.
"Hello, Keade." Kagome placed her bike against the side of the hut, smiling warmly as Keade. "I have to go back to my time... I'll be back in a couple of days."
"What!? You said you only had to restock! Why do you need a couple days for!?" Kagome sighed as she turned to confront Inuyasha.
"I have to wait till the stores open for one, and two I want to spend a little time with my family!"
"You be back here by tonight!"
"No! I said in a couple of days and that's when I'll come back!"
"Feh! You had best be here by tonight, wench, or I'll go and drag you back!" Kagome's face flushed with anger.
"Sit!!!" She turned a stormed off as Inuyasha hit the ground, grumbling in the dirt.

"I can't believe him! He gives me that tender kiss and turns around and acts like a jerk again!" Kagome ranted to her cat, Buyo, as he lounged on her bed. "Can't he ever just be completely nice to me!?" She stared into her full lenght mirror that hung on her door. "Who am I kidding? I... I love him..." Kagome hadn't amitted that to herself in a while, but she repeated it in her heart every day.
"Kagome! Your friends are here." Her mother called to her from the base of the stairs, Kagome sighed.
"I don't want visitors at the moment, Mother."
"Alright, dear." Kagome sighed again, looking around her room, her eyes straying to the tree just out side her window. It felt so empty coming home now, she was so use to having Inuyasha somewhere near. Does love have to hurt this much? Do I have to near him? Do I have to be near him? Is this what love entails? She streached out on her bed, hoping sleep would help her get rid of this since of emptiness.
Inuyasha couldn't stand it, he had to see her, had to smell her sent, had to touch her face, he had to be near her. He hopped from the well in her time, it was dark and the stars were barely visable in the lights coming from the town. Inuyasha raced to her window, sliding it open and slipping in, closing it behind him. Kagome lay on her bed, sound asleep. Perfect... I can watch her and leave and she'd never know. Inuyasha kneeled down by her bed, sniffing the air around her, breathing in her sent. She's so beautiful... He watched the moon dance arcross her face as it seeped in through the window. Gently, he brushed her hair from her face, marving at the feel of her silky skin. I wish I could kiss her again... but I'm afraid to wake her. Inuyasha sighed, closing his eyes.
Kagome felt the gently brush against her famakimaking her stir from her sleep. Blinking the sleep from her eyes, she was startled to see Inuyasha sitting so close to her with his eyes closed.
"Inuyasha...? Has something happened?" She watched him jump and open his eyes to stare at her. Kagome's eyes widened at the blush that slowly spread acrossed his boyishly handsome face. Blushing?
"What are you doing here?" She asked, sitting up in the bed, her eyes trained on his every move.
"I.... I was...." Inuyasha stood and back toward the window, he's only way out besides running through that house and chance waking everyone in the house.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome wasn't about to let him go. "Sit..." He slammed into the ground as she stood to close the window, latching it.
"What was that for, wench?" Inuyasha hissed at her.
"So you won't jump out the window and get away. I have questions and you have answers, you're not going anywhere till I get those answers." Kneeling beside her hanyou, she looked at him with searching eyes. "Why are you here? I told you I'd be back in a couple days." Inuyasha sat up, glaring at her.
"Keh!"
"Don't give me that! Please... Inuyasha tell me." As he continued to refuse to tell her, Kagome's dream came back to her.

He came to her in the middle of the night, climing through her window.
"Inuyasha?" He only gave her a low growling-purr, coming to stand beside her bed.
"What's the matter, Inuyasha?" Kagome's eyes widened as he leaned over her, kissing her with a passion that shook her to the core.
She felt his hands touching her body, his sent rich in her nose, his taste filling her mouth.

When she awoke, she found Inuyasha no more then a few inches from her face, it was beginning to creep her out and she wanted answers.
"Inuyasha?" He suddenly stood, his golden gaze fixed on her as he moved toward her with delibrate steps, backing her against the wall. "Inuyasha?" He didn't speak, only continued to advance on her. Kagome's mind told her to run, to head for the , bu, but she knew he could catch her anyway. Her heart told her that there was something going on with Inuyasha that was good and should allow him near. That look in his eyes... I've seen that look only in my dreams... could it be? Would he? Her questions were answered as he crushed her against the wall, his lips coming down on her's. Kagome's breath quickened as she felt his hands grip her thighs and lifted them against his hips. Oh god! She clamed against his thighs against his waist, her arms snaking around his neck. Please, tell me this isn't a dream! Tell me it's real! She kissed him with her own passion, her own love.
It's true... she does want me! With each moan, with each gasp, he knew that he could never go wrong as long as she was close to him. Wrapping her in his arms, he carried her to the bed, laying her down, but she refused to release him, clinging to him as if he was going to flee from her.
"Inuyasha... are you real? Is this a dream?" He smiled at her as he pulled from her to remove his shirts. Kagome reach up and touched his chest, marvling at the feel of him. Silk streached over steal is what it remind her of.
"No... this isn't a dream... and if it is, I don't want to wake up anytime soon."
"I never want to wake up..."
