Love of a lifetime

Life was a very strange thing indeed, Inuyasha thought as he came
out of the ice cold water that he had been bathing himself in. He
had dreamt about doing this almost since the day he meet her, and
the feeling had grown over time, but now that he had built his
resolve and was about to actually try to reach, -reach-, Inuyasha
corrected himself it just didn't make sense. Up until twelve hours
ago when Sango had left to upkeep what remained of her village and
Miroku had followed her, the very idea, had been intangible, like
having everything one could possibly want, something so far from
real that it became commonplace that it was outside the realm of
happening: up until twelve hours ago. Sango had told everyone that
she would be gone a week and that after that time she would catch up
with them wherever they might be, and that was to the be the plan
until Miroku had left in the middle of the night with a hastily
scrawled note telling them not to follow. How the monk had snuck
past him, Inuyasha had no clue, but in the long run Inuyasha was
confident that it would turn out to be a blessing. Tonight, when
Kagome returned to the Sengoku Jidai, Inuyasha would be ready.

Kagome easily hoisted the half empty, though still sizable,
bag over the top of the well as she used the vines to pull herself
out. 'At least getting out of the well will be easy,' Kagome thought
as she thought back to the strange message that Inuyasha had had
Souta write out and lay on her bed for him.

'Pack light, you'll thank me later'
Inuyasha

'Arrogant stupid-' Kagome let run across her thoughts for a
minute before stopping them. It was just like him to add in
there "you'll thank me later" as if he had given her some invaluable
help. Kagome knew better than to think that Inuyasha was looking out
for her well being like that. What that note really meant Kagome had
figured out was,

'Don't bring to much essential crap that
might save my arrogant, conceited hanyou
self, because I don't want to carry it and I don't
want you to whine about it.'

In her time with Inuyasha she had learned to decipher the code of
Inuyasha's seemingly innocent statements as things that were usually
something he wanted and knew she wouldn't. Or so she thought...

As Kagome stepped out of the well she saw him leaning
against a tree with his back to the sunrise and his arms crossed in
front of him with his eyes closed, and a smug smirk lounging happily
on his face. It was a sight that made Kagome stop dead in her tracks
because of its strange attractiveness, a sight that seemed to bring
out all the qualities that she loved about him. But then she
remembered that he hadn't even helped her out of the well.

"Thanks for the excellent help," Kagome said sarcastically
awaiting his reply which would most likely chastise her for her
tardiness,

Instead, Inuyasha didn't move a muscle, not even the ears on
his head making the slightest twitch. For a full ten seconds he
stayed that way, the morning sun rising behind him, giving no
response.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked with some curiosity.

"..."

"Inuyasha?"

"......"

"Earth to I-nu-yash-a?" Kagome asked taking a step towards
him.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome questioned raising her voice as she
finished closing the distance between them. "Hello? Inuyasha?"

"Inu- yasha?" she asked n inn in a somewhat worried tone.
Had something happened?

In the blink of an eye she was caught and being sped of away
from the well, she hadn't even seen it coming, but her captor was...
Inuyasha? The red clothing she had her face pressed into seemed to
support the fact, and a quick glance upward confirmed it, 'but how?'
Kagome wondered.

He had been as still as if he had been an extension of the
tree he had been leaning against, but such speed, she had never seen
Inuyasha move that fast.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome inquired quietly.

"Inuyasha? What's going on?"

Without answering Inuyasha just took a long look at her and
continued onwards. Kagome found her ability to speak lost and stayed
silent as they continued through the morning...

It was late afternoon and Inuyasha had taken them high into
the distant mountains before stopping on a plateau of sorts that
straddled two peaks. It wasn't large by any means, about the size of
a classroom, but perfect. The view was great, the temperature
perfect, slow warm breezes complimenting the spring day.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked after taking in the
sight. "Inuyasha?"

There was a long quiet silence between the two, just long
enough for Inuyasha to carefully word what he was about to say and
to build up his courage.

"Kagome?" he said gazing directly into Kagome's eyes so that
she couldn't have turned away if she wanted to. "..."

Another awkward silence left Kagome hanging as she felt he
was going say more. Finally, Inuyasha silently closed the distance
between himself and Kagome, his feet only padding lightly, on the
soft, springy, green grass. Hesitating only a moment after getting
to her and staring at the ground Inuyasha slowly but surely wrapped
his arms around Kagome.

A euphoria of feelings assaulted Kagome as Inuyasha's arms
closed around her pulling her to him. Surprise, fear, trepidation,
worry, and finally knowing acceptance.

"I could risk saying the wrong thing again," Inuyasha said
silently, as if to only voice his thoughts for himself to hear.

"Inuyasha, thank you," Kagome said as he let her go. "Why?"

Inuyasha looked to the ground as if seeking to pull the
answer from there. "Because, Kagome. There are many me's, many
Inuyasha's."

Kagome's mind raced as to what that meant.

"The is an Inuyasha that you know, one Shippou know, one
Sango knows and one Miroku knows. And there is one that I know, how
I know myself, and I believe that you know that Inuyasha too."

"Kagome, would you, please, let me be with you?"

Gentle winds were the only sound that ensued.

Worry, trepidation, pain, reluctance, and fear crossed
Inuyasha's face before he dropped his gaze and told her in the most
solid tone he could, "I love Kagome. I love you."

gomegome didn't make a sound as her systems started to go
haywire one by one. It was strange how after so many times of trying
to tell herself that Inuyasha could never fall in love with her,
that only now did she seem to believe herself. Kagome lost all
coherent train of thought and was unable to tell the hanyou what she
wanted; all Kagome could think is how Inuyasha couldn't possibly be
saying this.

"Kagome?" Inuyasha gulped out anxiously. "Kagome? Are you
okay?... I'm sorry, I knew I shouldn't have said anything."

The last of Inuyasha's words struck Kagome deeply, not
necessarily for what was said, but how. It seemed to come out in
less than a hurt feeling, but instead as, as something she couldn't
place.

Inconfidence.

The word hit her suddenly and almost as if the air had just
dropped it on her head, but thinking it over, it was the right word.
In all of Kagome's time with Inuyasha she had never heard him
lacking confidence in himself, but unmistakably she heard it here.
Humility, a somewhat cute trepidation that she might not return his
feelings, so human an action for someone who desperately wanted to
anything but.

"Yes," Kagome said in low voice trying to balance
herself. "I know you do. Thank you."

Inuyasha's features lightened somewhat but tension was still
clear on his face as to what she might say next.

"And I love you, too."

For a moment, a small fleeting moment, Inuyasha forgot
himself and could only hug Kagome close to him, as hard and as
gently as he could, without squeezing her to death.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried in surprise as his hug turned for
the more intimate.

"Your my woman now, don't even try to deny it." was his rapt
haughty reply.

"But I never said-" Kagome got out before she was cut short
by the hanyou's face appearing in front of hers and taking her lips
before the could utter another word.

Inuyasha first just kissed her with his eyes open reveling
in the surprise her eyes revealed.

"You said all you need to, I figured out the rest long
before I brought you here."

"..." was the only response her one track mind could manage
while think about the last minute.

"Do feel sad now that I'm not pressing my mouth into you
anymore?" Inuyasha asked in his most arrogant, yet at the same time
sweet voice before quickly covering her mouth with his as to keep
her from 'sitting' him.

This time Inuyasha pressed his mouth into her harder and
licked the front of her teeth as his tongue solicited entrance in to
her mouth where it massaged her tongue. While his tongue lavished in
her warm mouth, Inuyasha slowly but surely began to move his free
hand from the small of her back to her chest.

As he moved his hand onto the warm, soft yet firm, globe
that greeted his searching hand he cracked his eyes open to make
sure that she would allow it and that she wanted this too.

"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered as she broke the kiss, leaving
Inuyasha in utter fear.

"More," she teased punctuating her demand by slipping the
shirt over her head while trying to touch as much of Inuyasha as she
could.

Kagome moved her mouth to reciprocate Inuyasha's attentions
and unhooked her bra before slipping her hand down Inuyasha's and
taking a gentle feel of his rapidly inflating organ. She took in his
surprise as she fondled it, rubbing the skin over the steeliness
that lay inside as he remembered himself and cupped the bottom of
her breast and rubbed and felt the velvety texture with his worn
hands.

Inuyasha took his mouth from hers and place it in the crook
of her neck, kissing, licking, and nipping her throat and shoulders
as he moved down her front to take the nipple of the breast that his
hand was caressing. Kagome ceased her minstrations on the hanyou's
manhood as he slipped a finger under her dress and proceeded to take
the tip of his index finger claw and drag it in a most non-
threatening and very stimulating way.

Up from close to her knee across her apex to the other side,
Inuyasha teased with patience that Kagome most certainly wouldn't
have believed if she had been capable of thinking that clearly. For
several minutes Inuyasha keep his teasing up and holding her as she
shivered every time he dragged his finger with just a very small
increase in pressure every time he passed the soaked panties.

"Please," Kagome managed after another brisk pass.

It took Inuyasha no more as he lowered he to the ground and
proceeded to take off her panties by slipping his finger through
both leg holes at the bottom and unseemingly brushed her slit as he
pulled the cotton panties down and off, taking her shoes off in the
process. With mumbled urgings from Kagome he positioned his mouth a
mere inch above her warm soft entrance blowing softly on the small
nub until he decided she had enough and dragged his hot wet tongue
across her equally steaming clitoris slow and clear.

Finally his tongue could grip the nub no longer and pulling
back for a second's respite, Inuyasha began to lick and kiss with a
vengeance. Relentlessly, he swirled his tongue across her lips
sliding up and down its length, kissing in the places where she felt
it most acutely. Without hesitating or giving warning he dipped his
tongue inside sending a shudder through her that sent him with haste
back to her clit where he suckled it and nipped it and licked it
with he tongue and his teeth and kissed it with his blood heated
lips.

Kagome's body could take no more input from Inuyasha's
tender attentions as his warm chaste lips, his hot, wet tongue, and
his scrapeing teeth worked without tire unshe she walked to the
cliff edge a final time and was pushed off.

"Inu-"
"Yasha-" Kagome moaned as loudly and as purposefully as she
could as electricity and euphoria took her body and made it shake.

Only after Kagome settled and the waves racking her body
subsided did Inuyasha take his mouth from her vagina and look to her
face as her eyes slowly fluttered open, taking in his face, and
nodding.

He brought her into his lap as soon as he rid himself of his
and sat her facing him with their two sexes rubbing. With a quick
seductive look into Inuyasha's eyes and leaving no time for him to
respond, she brought his manhood into her up to her virginity where
she took a reassuring look at Inuyasha closed her eyes, and slipped
the rest of the way down onto Inuyasha's length.

Inuyasha brought Kagome close to him e ree reveled in the
warm, moist, tightness that had slipped itself like an envelope
around his pulsating heat. For a few seconds he stroked her hair and
whispered deep, heart-filled reassurances into her ear until she had
adjusted to his girth.

As the pain subsided a new feeling emanated from the joining
of hers and Inuyasha's bodies. A feeling of being complete. Slowly,
she felt Inuyasha start to move within her and she felt pleasure
begin to come from the movement. Quickening the pace of her own
accord, Kagome began to thrust down onto Inuyasha, encouraging him.

Inuyasha was threatened to lose himself and began to touch
Kagome everywhere and placed his mouth again over her breast as they
moved in rhythm. Sliding up and in Inuyasha's manhood urged him
forward as he thrust harder gaining shock of electric pleasure over
and over and over, but trying to hold himself back.

Kagome could see that he strained to keep himself from
release for her and being close to the edge herself and not being
able to keep up the rampant, animal pace any longer, leaned to
Inuyasha's ear and with all the restrain he could muster
whispered, "Let it go."

Inuyasha's last defenses were shattered as he released
himself into Kagome feeling himself spasm from the pleasure over and
over as he filled her heat with his seed and at the eleventh hour
Kagome again lost herself to the pleasure that Inuyasha had given
her, powerfulhorihoria filling her entire being and releasing her
fluid.


After, several minutes lying in the afterglow, Kagome and
Inuyasha separated only long enough and far enough to get their
clothing. Together they watched the sun as it began to fall and then
set, and the only words spoken between them until the end were "I
love you," and "I'm not done yet"...
