“Falling for You”
by penpaninu


Inuyasha opened his eyes as someone called his name softly. He was on his back on a bed of leaves in the forest and before him Kagome knelt. Now this normally wouldn’t have his blood boiling but it was her state of undress that did it for him. The hanyou drooled as he took in her skimpy negligee, flopping open to show him her breasts.
“Inuyasha….wake up,” she urged, hands on his thighs. Heat pooled to his groin and he was very awake. Gulping, he raised up on his elbows, staring down at her.

“Wha…wha…wha..Kagome what the heck….” He breathed as she leaned down, face near his clothed lap, hands rubbing his thighs. “I thought you said we had to wait.”

Kagome sighed, pushing her breasts against his legs. “I did, but then I saw you sleeping and I couldn’t help myself…you’re too sexy, my puppy…”

Inuyasha grinned, gathering the half naked woman into his lap. “Yup, and I’ll show you how much….”

“Oooh, Inuyasha…”

“Heheh…. What’s my name, bitch?”

“Inuyasha! Inuyasha!”

“That’s my name, don’t wear it out!”

“INUYASHA!”

“WAH!”

With a sickening lurch, Inuyasha fell out of his tree and landed on his face next to the campfire. His member throbbed uncomfortably as his body spasmed from the sudden fall.
“Dammit…fuck…” he mumbled, his mouth full of leaves.

Kagome knelt next to him, woefully clothed, and patted his head. “Get up already, Inuyasha! We’re having breakfast.”

Inuyasha raised his head and shook his mane behind him. “Are we having ramen? Or frogs?” he asked sourly, rubbing the crinks out of his neck.

Shippou slurped a forkful of ramen from his papercup. “It’s ramen! And I’m gonna have yours if you wanna sleep…”

Inuyasha sprang forward and knocked the foxcub with a fist to the forehead.
“I don’t think so, brat! Gimme!”

Kagome rolled her eyes. “My strong protector.” She gathered a crying kitsune to her arms and kissed the bump on his head. “It’s okay, Shippou-chan…”

“Really, Inuyasha, you shouldn’t mistreat children,” Miroku chided as he dug into his own ramen. Inuyasha gave a small ‘keh’ and licked his fingers, looking around for more to eat. He had finished his ramen cup in two seconds.
Shippou leered at Inuyasha and snuggled into Kagome’s chest with a small sigh.

“Thanks, Kagome! You always make me feel better…”
Inuyasha growled to himself and sat on his haunches. Why can’t she make me feel better…she’s done nothing but ignore me!

Kagome set Shippou down and gathered up the mornings’ trash into her backpack. Sango leaned over to help her.
“Kagome-chan, I think we should continue with that lead we heard about earlier,” she suggested gently. Kagome had been in such a mood lately. It made one wonder if something had happened between her and Inuyasha lately. They acted the same as always, but you could never tell with them… There was just one or two elements that were off with them.

“An excellent suggestion, Sango!” Miroku chirped happily. “That village is in dire need of spiritual aide. I should be able to put us up at a lord’s house even…”
“So you can grope their princess or serving girls? I don’t think so, houshi-sama!” Sango turned her nose up. Oh well, she shouldn’t worry about it when she had her own man to keep an eye on!

Miroku’s shoulders slumped. “Anou, that’s not what I meant, Sango, I promise,” he had the grace to look contrite. “I was hoping you and I could partake in a hot springs if they have one….or…”

WHAP! Sango’s hand flashed out for a customary slap to the monk’s cheek. Miroku sighed as if enlightened, his face bright red from her palm.
“Ah you must love me, Sango….”

“Mou, enough!!”

Inuyasha shook his head as if to say he was the more mature one. “Keh! Come on, I want to get one shikon shard by sundown! We don’t have time to play around here!”

Shippou darted forward to walk beside his unspoken idol. “Speak for yourself, Inuyasha, I’m the one who’s the most serious about this.”

Inuyasha growled down at the short kitsune. “Keep talking, brat, and you’ll find yourself floating home!” Their walk was taking them near a wide river.

Shippou gasped and sprang for Kagome’s shoulder. “Kagome! Inuyasha’s going to throw me in the river!”

Kagome sighed. “Inuyasha, really, he looks up to you!”
Damn, found out, Shippou thought.

“I haven’t seen that to be true, Kagome!” Inuyasha snarled, tucking his hands into his haori sleeves. Tetsuiaga bounced against his hip as he stalked along. Sango and Miroku took up the party’s rear, wisely staying out of yet another argument. Shippou looked between the squabbling pair and joined them at the back.

“Well maybe if you payed attention like you never do!…”

“I always….fuck you know I do! “

Miroku looked up at above their path at the rocks above. Did something just move there?
“Uhm..Inuyasha , Kagome….”

The two were nose and nose and hardly paying attention.
“Gimme a break,” Shippou thought. ‘They may as well fight or kiss! Make up your minds! And they call me a child.’

“Kagome-chan!” Sango called out, hoping to get her attention. There was definite activity going up in those rocks. Her hand reached over her shoulder for Hiraikotsu and Miroku gripped his priest’s staff tightly.

“I pay attention to each little thing you do, bitch! So I dun’ wanna hear bout me not…”
“INUYASHA!” Sango tried one last time, as four figures leaped from the rocks above towards them.

As Sango let Hiraikotsu fly, she heard Kagome’s scream and Inuyasha’s snarl of surprise. The boomerang easily dispatched two of the youkai and as she caught it’s return path, she looked for the pair. Miroku took care of the other two with his kazaana and wrapped his prayer beads around the void.

“Those were alittle too easy,” he commently solemnly. Shippou was sitting at the edge of the path and crying.
“There there, Shippou-chan, it’s nothing we can’t handle,” he added. Sango shook her head and stood next to the fox cub.

“Houshi-sama, Inuyasha and Kagome fell over the side! “ Sango pointed at the rushing speed of the current. Shippou rubbed his eyes and wailed. They coudlnt’ even see them down there!

“Kagome!”

* * * *

Inuyasha and Kagome had indeed fallen into the river and when they came up for air, they immediately launched into another argument. Neither was pleased at being caught off guard and soaking wet in a river on top of it.

“You stupid bitch! If you hadn’t gotten in my face I coulda…”

“AAH!” Kagome grabbed his ears and pushed his head underwater as the current swept them along. “Don’t you blame me for this!

“Blub blub!” was Inuyasha’s response as he sputtered and slapped at her hands to raise his head for air. “Gah! Stupid bitch, stop doing that! “

Kagome leaned on his shoulder to stay afloat, promptly setting his head back under.

“Gah!” His hands clawed at the surface and he grabbed her side, raising his face next to hers. “I said, stop doing that!!”

Kagome clung to him, kicking to keep her head above water. “The currents going way too fast!” she gasped. Inuyasha sighed, languidly stroking his legs in the water. This was no problem for him.

“Geez, you make it sound like there’s a problem,” he scoffed, bringing an arm around her waist to keep her afloat. Kagome shivered, pressing her face against his shoulder.

“That may be one!” she pointed shakily. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes. A waterfall. Perfect.

“Oh fu….”

“Inuyasha!!” Pain swam through the hanyou’s brain and he blinked, his vision blurring. A branch had been swept into them and conked him on the head. Kagome was screaming for him to stay awake and save them, for they were being swept nearer to the waterfall’s edge. But it hurt so much and Inuyasha’s eyes began to close as his vision blacked out.

“Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Wake up!” Kagome shrieked. Inuyasha’s last waking thought was to hold her close to protect her. Her face was pressed to his chest and he leaned back, falling first to break her fall. And he blacked out as they hit the water below.

* * * *

Kagome slowly dragged the unconscious hanyou to the river’s edge, sobbing at his stupidity and bravery. He had taken the brunt of the fall after getting a knock to the head, he had saved her. To what cost? What if he didn’t wake up? What would she do then?

“Baka…you baka, Inuyasha!” she cried, holding his shoulders and dragging him slowly onto the riverbank. For being so skinny, he had more weight to him than appeared and the river had taken her strength as it was. She fell down , cradling his form, wincing at how scraped his legs were due to her struggling to drag him. Kagome took a moment to hold his head in her arms.

Have to calm down….make a fire and help him….help him so he can help me…but he’s hurt! I have to…I have to…. Kagome took a few moments to cry all her worried tears out of her system so she could work efficiently. She clung to her lover and kissed his cheeks, willing his eyes to open. After she had cried herself dry, Kagome sniffled and just held him, willing her body to share its’ warmth.

Inuyasha didn’t move. Kagome gulped and stood again, shakily, to drag him to the grass. She gathered branches for a fire and cursed. She had no matches on her and even if she did, they would be wet and useless. Kagome’s eyes filled with tears again as she thought of her brainless she really was.

She moved closer to Inuyasha’s prone form and held him close to her. She removed his haori and undershirt, hanging them on a branch. She left his hakama where they were and hugged him close. She was still clothed and shivering, but damned if she was going to be naked alone in a forest when anything could attack them.
Just for a moment….she was going to hold him and be close again and not worry about what they’d do when he awoke…. Pressing a kiss to his brow, Kagome fell asleep.

* * * *

Shivering warmth. What a strange combination, Inuyasha’s brain drowsily commented as his eyes slowly opened. His chest was bare to the setting sun, and darting his eyes around he saw his haori and shirt hanging carefully on a branch…who would?

Looking down, he saw and felt Kagome pressed against him, shivering in her sleep. She was still clothed and they had barely dried on her. Inuyasha’s arms went around her and rubbed her back. That baka…. She must have gotten them out of the river over here, but she had exhausted herself. His feet felt raw and he grimaced, looking down at the cuts there. Okay, she must have dragged me, but she did a good job.

Kagome’s eyes fluttered open against his chest and she blushed, hugging closer. “Inuyasha…you’re awake…”

Inuyasha ran his hands through her damp hair softly. “I’m just fine, Kagome…knew we’d get out of that one okay.” He grinned to lighten the mood and was shocked when tears filled her eyes again. What! What was it now? He let her know how beautiful she was, how he loved her, and they were okay, why more tears?

Kagome beat a fist against his chest, crying. “You baka! I thought you had… I thought…” She pressed close to him, shaking.

Inuyasha stared down at her and held her close. “I’ve gotten in worse, you know… nothing can keep me down,” he vowed but it made her cry harder.

“I still thought you were dead! I was so scared!…” she whispered. Inuyasha tilted her chin up.

“No way. Never, Kagome, I promise….” She shuddered so he leaned forward and licked her tears again. “I wont’ ever leave you. Even if you don’t want me….”

Kagome blushed all over and held still, her eyes closed. “I do want you…I just needed time to think about all this…”

“Kagome….” Inuyasha’s voice was tight with need. “You know what we did means to me right?”

Kagome blushed. “I’ve heard about…demon mating…rights….Sango told me and….”

Inuyasha’s hands tightened in her hair and tilted her head back. “You gave yourself to me, so you have my scent…I want to make you mine…and when I do… “ his lips brushed over the spot where her neck met her shoulder. “This is where I’ll mark you… “

Kagome shuddered in pleasure as he nibbled at the spot, holding his shoulders weakly. “I…I didn’t know….will it hurt?”

Inuyasha laughed nervously and lathed his tongue over the area. “It may…but not as much as our first time was….” He confessed, blushing against her shoulder.

“Inuyasha…” Kagome breathed, holding the back of his head against her. “That may not be so bad….”

Inuyasha crushed her to his chest. “You’d be my mate, mine forever….Kagome….”

Kagome kissed the tip of his nose. “That does sound desirable…” she giggled at the startled blush across his face.

“But I think we need something else too….”

“Anything..” Inuyasha swore, taking her hand and kissing the back of it.

Kagome giggled prettily. “Start a fire please? You know how to without matches…” she laughed at the incredulous stare Inuyasha directed at her.

“I need to dry my clothes and yours….” She added and the hanyou grinned.

“As you wish, bitch.”

* * * *

After ten minutes, Inuyasha had a good fire crackling along. He turned to see Kagome shrug out of her sailor top and his mouth went dry again. Instantly he was pressed against her back from behind and kissing her shoulder.

“I can help you…” he gasped as Kagome led his hands to the front of her bra, unsnapping it. She turned around in his arms, bare to the waist as he was. Her face was flushed but she led his ministrations, guiding his hands across her breasts. Inuyasha panted as his movements coaxed her nipples to stiff peaks.

“Ssh…Inuyasha…” Kagome breathed, taking one of his palms to her cheek. She kissed him there. “Please hold me….”

Inuyasha nodded and carefully pulled her to his chest, his hands roaming over her back. Kagome sighed, smelling the musky woodsy aroma that was Inuyasha…. Her hands explored his chest and sides, his muscular back. It wasn’t so different than the other night, just chilled and slightly damp from their earlier escapade.

Inuyasha couldn’t breathe as her breasts molded to his chest. Kagome sighed against him and shifted to sit on his thighs. The movement made her skirt ride up alittle and Inuyasha’s eyes went wide, recognizing a moment from an earlier lust-filled dream. Kagome blushed, feeling him harden against her thighs and she hugged his shoulders.

Inuyasha leaned down and captured her lips in a sweet kiss. Kagome responded ardently and too soon they were pressing hip to hip, wanting more. Inuyasha leaned his head between her breasts and made her moan, pressing closer. Maybe she had thought about it enough…maybe she wanted to be his forever….The hanyou stiffened furthur at the thought and he fumbled with Kagome’s skirt.

Kagome gasped and stilled herself on him, reaching for his hands. “Inuyasha…” she breathed. Inuyasha grunted in response and kissed the area he wanted to mark on her neck.

“Inuyasha….look at me…” she crooned. Inuyasha’s passion-glazed eyes looked down into hers and blushed. She was perched on his clothed erection, bare breasts heaving, skin flushed because of his kisses and touches. But she looked resolute. She held his face and kissed him again, softly this time.

“I love you so much….but it’s not the right time…” she urged, sliding off his lap and beside him. Inuyasha sighed raggedly, looking down at himself.

“I love ya too, Kagome…but dammit…” he cursed, folding his hands over his lap. Kagome sighed and kissed his ear, sitting close to his side.

“It will be time soon…I want to be happy being yours forever,” she promised, playing with his hair. Inuyasha nodded, holding her close.

“You will be…I’ll make you a happy mate,” he stammered, embarrassed. Kagome’s eyes softened. She was so beautiful, bathed in moonlight. Inuyasha’s heart pounded at the simple pleasure looking at her gave him.

“That’s all I want, Inuyasha,” she whispered and leaned her head against his shoulder. They both stared into the fire, arms around each other. Someday they’d be mated but for now, declarations of love could tide them over.

End for now
