Unfinished Business

Unfinished Business

A/N: This story is set ten years after the defeat of Naraku and Kagome has returned home leaving Inuyasha behind in the feudal era. Now twenty five and still a virgin Kagome realizes there was something left unfinished between her and Inuyasha.

Kagome paced like a caged animal at the foot of her queen sized bed in her very nice and very expensive loft apartment in downtown Tokyo. She had earned her degree in forensics and was one of the top forensic consultants in the country. Kagome had grown into quite a beautiful young woman and had many of the prominent successful young bachelors chasing after her.

She was about five feet five inches tall and had a very slender yet toned build. Her hair was thick and at times quite hard to tame but she would never dream of cutting it. It was slightly wavy and fell to the middle of her back and was a dark ink black. Kagome’s eyes were the same smoky blue gray they had been since the day she had been born and she felt they were her best feature. Her skin was completely flawless and was the perfect shade of alabaster.

She stopped pacing to look at herself in the mirror that adorned her vanity across from her bed. Kagome was wearing a white tee shirt and a pair of simple light blue cotton bikini styled panties. The tee shirt wasn’t skin tight but it did slightly hug her elegantly curved body. Kagome had matured into a very attractive and generously proportioned young woman over the years. Her breasts weren’t too large nor were they too small, but they seemed to be just right for her petite frame.

They were pert and perky and half the time she found that she didn’t really need to wear a bra. Kagome’s waist was tiny and tapered down to her beautifully shaped hips that seemed to suggest she would have no problem in baring children later on. Her legs were long and perfectly sculpted from her many years of kickboxing. With a sigh Kagome flopped down onto her bed. ‘ What the hell is wrong with me? Why can’t I go back to sleep? I haven’t thought about him in nearly two years!’

It was true she hadn’t thought of him in almost two whole years. Kagome had thought that she had forgotten all about him yet here she was thinking about him once again. It had all started when she had caught a faint scent on the breeze that had reminded her of him. That had happened earlier that evening just before it had started raining. Kagome had a love and hate relationship with the rain because it never failed to remind her of him. He smelled like the rain and of the forest after it had been bathed in a hard summer rainstorm.

It had been raining the day that she had left him to come back home. *Begin Flashback* The rain beat down around them quickly as they stood beside the well. His golden eyes met her blue gray orbs and they stared at each other neither one knowing what to say. Finally after an eternity of uncomfortable silence he had cleared his throat to speak. “Kagome I-”

“Inuyasha don’t! I have to go!” Kagome had stopped him from whatever it was that he had been going to tell her. She grabbed the rosary and yanked it from his neck before placing a chaste kiss on his cheek. “You’re free now.”

“Kagome.”

“Please don’t say anything Inuyasha, just walk away.”

He stared at her with confused amber eyes and as she pulled her hand from his she saw a single tear escape his left eye to roll down his cheek. She watched the teardrop as it rolled to his chin and fell to join the raindrops that were collecting in the puddle at their feet. Clutching the rosary to her chest she climbed into the well and watched as he turned to walk away from her. *End Flashback*

She had cried nearly everyday that first year she had been back home. He was the reason she both despised and loved the rain so much because every time it rained she pictured him as he walked away from her that one rainy afternoon. Kagome had not even dared to say his name out loud for fear of bursting into tears. Sometimes she would allow her mind to wander and she would try to imagine what he had been trying to tell her that day.

Kagome got up and padded over to her vanity. Her hands easily found her jewelry box in the moonlit room. Opening the box she shut her eyes and reached into it. A small gasp escaped her mouth when her fingers came into contact with the smooth black spheres that were the rosary that had been around his neck for such a long time. Closing her slender fingers around the rosary Kagome lifted her hand from her jewelry box. Opening her blue gray eyes she immediately felt her heart give a painful ache when she looked at the familiar necklace. Instantly a vision of his handsome face appeared in her mind making tears sting her eyes.

Blinking Kagome silently cursed as two tears rolled down her cheeks. She couldn’t believe that he could make her feel this way even after all the time that had passed. Kagome couldn’t deny that her heart still belonged only to him and it seemed like it would always remain that way. Taking a deep breath she carefully placed the rosary around her neck and glanced at herself in the mirror. Suddenly Kagome felt incredibly pathetic and tried to take the rosary off.

When her fingers closed around the beads the rosary began to pulse as if it were alive. She quickly released the necklace and waited for the pulsing to stop. It never stopped completely but it slowed until it was just barely noticeable. Kagome stood up and walked over to the window. She gazed at the moon and jumped when the rosary throbbed once again. Placing her hand over her heart Kagome suddenly felt as if she could feel his energy calling out to her own. ‘Are you thinking about me tonight too? It’s been so long and yet I still want you and no one else. I’m still a virgin at twenty five because you’re the man I want! No, you’re the man I love, the man I’m always going to love.’

Turning away from the window Kagome walked out of her bedroom and grabbed her keys from the bar. Not even bothering to put on a coat or shoes she ran out into the chilly night air and across the parking lot to her car. Climbing into her car Kagome started the engine and headed towards the shrine where she had grown up. Parking on the street she got out of her car and quickly ran up the steps that led to the shrine. Reaching the top of the stairs her heart nearly stopped when she saw the well house. Running over to the dark well house Kagome carefully pulled open the screen doors and crept inside. She padded down the steps until she reached the old dry well at the bottom.

It had been ten years since she had traveled through that well and she was a little afraid to climb over the edge of it now. Forcing back her fear she swung one of her legs over the edge of the well and stared down into the pitch black that seemed to never end. Swinging her other leg over the edge she then prepared to push herself off. With one firm push she left the edge of the well and went plummeting down towards the bottom. Suddenly the eerie blue light that used to always surround her when she used the well appeared. Kagome shut her eyes and held her breath as she continued falling.

Only when she felt her feet touch the ground did she open her eyes and let out the breath she had been holding. Kagome noticed the thick vines that were growing down the sides of the well and she knew she had made it back to the feudal era. Grabbing onto the thickest vine she began climbing out of the well. Once she reached the top she carefully climbed out. When a strong gust of wind blew past her she suddenly realized she wasn’t wearing much at all. ‘Oh great! In my hurry to see him again I didn’t even bother to make myself decent!’

Then to add to the young woman’s frustration the sky lit up with a huge display of lightning to alert anyone who cared of the approaching storm. Kagome glared up at the cloudy sky as the thunder rumbled in the not too far off distance. “Don’t even think about raining on me now!” As if to spite her the sky crackled and lit up with another burst of lightning before the clouds seemed to split open and dump the rain they had been holding onto the earth below. Kagome yelped as she made a mad dash towards the forest to try and find some shelter from the storm.

She ran wildly through the forest until she came to a shrine like cottage that she had never seen before. ‘A cottage in this forest? I don’t remember that being here.’ Kagome bounded across the now damp ground until she came to the cottage door. With a trembling hand the raven haired young woman pushed open the shoji screen door and stepped inside. Fumbling around in the dark cottage that was only lit by one burning oil lamp Kagome made her way over to it. Picking up the oil lamp she began carefully looking around the cottage. It wasn’t a place that Kagome had ever remembered spending any time in while she had been traveling with Inuyasha.

Placing the oil lamp back down onto the table where she had found it Kagome turned to look at herself in the mirror. Glancing down at herself she gasped loudly when she realized her white tee shirt was now soaked from the rain. The wet material now clung to her skin tightly and her pink nipples could easily be seen through the now nearly transparent fabric. Her hair now hung in a wet curly mess around her face with a few pieces sticking to the sides of her neck. “Oh I look absolutely horrible now!”

Suddenly she felt the tiny hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. A low feral growl sent a chill up her spine and she froze temporarily before forcing herself to run towards the back of the cottage. Kagome did not dare look back to see who or what was chasing her as she blindly ran through the cottage. She tripped over her own feet and went crashing to the floor. Scrambling to regain her footing she began crawling on the floor desperately trying to escape her unknown predator. Kagome gave a loud yelp when a strong hand grabbed one of her ankles.

Suddenly she was pinned flat on her stomach face down onto the floor with a knee buried painfully in the middle of her back. “Who are you wench and what the hell are you doing in my house?”

Kagome didn’t dare speak and she could tell it made her captor quite angry from the snarl that he unleashed. Suddenly she was jerked over onto her back and a hand closed tightly around her throat. “You had better answer me wench!”

Her eyes shot open as an old familiar scent tickled her nose. It was the scent of the forest after it had been drenched by a hard summer rain. ‘That smell, but it can’t be, can it?’ Kagome struggled to take a breath before trying to speak. “ Inuyasha?”

The hand that gripped her throat loosened and she found herself staring into a pair of piercing amber eyes. “K-Kagome?”

Her heart seemed to stop beating the moment her name fell from his lips. It had been ten years since she had seen him and nearly two years since she had even allowed herself to even speak his name. “Inuyasha.”

He immediately released her neck and scooped her into a crushing embrace. “Kagome, it is you! I thought I was going crazy!”

She buried her head into his bare chest and deeply inhaled his scent, the scent that she had been longing to be immersed in just one more time since the day she had watched him walk away ten years ago. After what seemed like forever Inuyasha released his hold on Kagome and scooted back to look at her. Ten years had passed since he had last seen her and while she had grown into a woman she was still the same girl he had fallen in love with so long ago.

“Kagome what are you doing here?”

“I’m not really sure, but I just needed to see you.”

“You needed to see me? It’s been ten years since the last time I saw you and now you finally need to see me again?”

“I know I stayed away for a long time Inuyasha.”

“You stayed away too long Kagome. Why did you stay away from me this long?”

“I was afraid.”

“Afraid of what?”

“That if I stayed with you I would only serve as a reminder of Kikyo.”

“Kagome you know that isn’t true. You will never be a reminder of Kikyo to me. You two are completely different people.”

“Inuyasha, what were you going to say to me before I left that day ten years ago?”

“You stopped me from saying it then, are you sure you want to hear it now Kagome?”

“Yes Inuyasha, I need to know what you were going to tell me that day.”

Inuyasha took both of Kagome’s hands in his own and stared down at them silently for a few moments. He studied how small and delicate her hands appeared against his own much larger and rather calloused hands.

“I was trying to tell you that I’m in love with you Kagome.”

“You were in love with me?”

“Was and still am in love with you. Kagome you’re all I’ve thought about for the last ten years.”

“Oh Inuyasha, I had no idea you felt that way.”

“How could you? You wouldn’t allow me to tell you how I feel.”

“I’m so sorry that I ran away because of my childish fears about reminding you of Kikyo! Inuyasha I’ve been in love with you for a very long time now. I didn’t allow anyone else to get close to me because I didn’t want them to take your place. Please tell me that no other woman took my place in your heart.”

“Kagome you know there will never be anyone else.”

“What about Kikyo?”

“She was given a second chance at life and chose to take it.”

“Where is she now Inuyasha?”

“Not leading the lonely life of a priestess and unbelievably happily married to my brother.” Kagome’s eyes widened in shock and Inuyasha let out a small chuckle at her comical expression. “Yeah I didn’t see that one coming either.”

“So Kikyo married Sesshomaru?”

“Yeah the two people most unlikely to get together and they are so completely in love it’s disgusting.”

“Well that’s wonderful for the both of them. Did you take a mate?”

“No. I was intending on never taking a mate if I couldn’t be with you.”

“But that would be so lonely.”

“Not half as lonely as sharing my life with a woman who wasn’t you Kagome.”

“You really do love me don’t you Inuyasha?”

“Yes, but I think we’ve done far too much talking don’t you?”

“But-”

Inuyasha silenced Kagome by pressing his mouth firmly against her own. Kagome’s eyes slipped closed and she allowed herself to melt into Inuyasha’s kiss. With one smooth movement Inuyasha swept Kagome into his arms and carried her down the hall to his chambers. Once in his chambers he set Kagome back down on her feet facing him.

“Let’s get you out of these wet clothes Kagome, I don’t want you getting sick.”

Kagome silently nodded and raised her arms to allow Inuyasha to take her still damp shirt off. Inuyasha carefully slid the damp clothing up over Kagome’s head and tossed it onto the floor. Kagome shivered as Inuyasha’s molten amber orbs raked over her nearly naked body.

“It’s been ten years since the last time I saw you and it still takes my breath away because of how beautiful you are.”

Kagome could feel her entire face down to the tops of her breasts heating up with the blush that spread across her flesh quickly. Inuyasha took Kagome’s hand and slowly led her over to his bed. He carefully guided the raven haired beauty onto the bed and watched as she lay on her back. Inuyasha lay on his side next to Kagome and reached out to touch her stomach. Kagome felt the breath catch in her throat and the muscles in her stomach jump when his fingertips barely brushed against her skin.

“Are you afraid Kagome?”

“Of you?”

“Yes.”

“No, I would never be afraid of you Inuyasha.”

“Are you afraid of being with me?”

“You mean having sex?”

“Yes.”

“I trust you Inuyasha and I want this. I’ve wanted this for such a long time.”

“Have you?”

“Yes.”

Inuyasha rolled over and settled between Kagome’s thighs and began placing scorching kisses along her slender milk white neck. Kagome immediately arched into Inuyasha’s touch and gasped when she felt his lips start to descend towards her breasts. She let out a small mewing sound when Inuyasha’s mouth closed around one of her hardened nipples. He sucked the stiff pale pink bud into his hot mouth and teased it with his tongue. Kagome felt like she had died and gone to heaven when she felt his lips travel across the flat plane of her stomach.

Suddenly her eyes shot open when she felt his lips brush the skin just above the waistband of her still damp blue cotton panties. ‘Inuyasha wouldn’t dare think about doing that! Would he?’

She let out a small squeak when he hooked his thumbs in the elastic of her panties and began to yank them down. Kagome found herself raising her hips so that Inuyasha could pull her panties completely off. Once her panties were no longer an obstacle Inuyasha settled back down between Kagome’s thighs.

“Now where was I? Oh yeah, I was just about to the really good part.”

Kagome leaned up on her elbows and watched as Inuyasha dipped his head between her thighs. ‘He’s not actually going to kiss me there. Oh my god he did!’

Kagome bit her bottom lip to keep from squealing like a little girl when she felt Inuyasha’s tongue slip in between her silky folds. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome’s hips and held her down as he pushed his tongue deeper inside of her. Kagome threaded her fingers tightly in Inuyasha’s thick silvery mane when his tongue hit her bundle of nerves. It felt like a coil was tightening itself in the pit of her stomach and at any moment it was going to spring. Inuyasha’s ears twitched as they picked up the faint sound of Kagome’s breathing. She had begun panting desperately and he knew she was nearly at her release. With one last flick of his tongue against her pearl Inuyasha sent Kagome tumbling head first into her first orgasm.

Kagome cried out a strangled version of Inuyasha’s name as she felt the coil in her stomach quickly unwind. “I-Inu-Y-Yasha!!”

Inuyasha began lapping up the sticky nectar that Kagome’s body generously gave to him. He slid back up so that their noses were just barely touching and his chest was pressed firmly against Kagome’s.

“I love you Inuyasha.”

“I love you too Kagome. Do you want me to stop?”

“No.”

Inuyasha easily slipped his crimson hakama down past his hips and kicked the garment off onto the floor.

“Kagome are you certain this is what you want?”

“Yes Inuyasha.”

Inuyasha took his thick hard manhood into his hand and guided it to Kagome’s entrance. He pushed the thick head of his length inside Kagome’s body and grunted at the tightness of her womanhood. He pushed a little further inside of Kagome gritting his teeth as more of his arousal was hugged by her tight body. His amber eyes shot open when he reached her barrier.

“Kagome you’re-”

“A virgin?”

“Yeah.”

“I saved myself for you Inuyasha, you’re the man that I’ve always wanted to lose my innocence to.”

“This is a first for me too Kagome.”

“Really?”

“Yeah really, I wanted you to be my first too.”

“Okay, I’m ready Inuyasha.”

“This is going to hurt Kagome, but I’ll try to be gentle.”

“It’s okay Inuyasha, I’m ready.”

Inuyasha pressed his lips to Kagome’s forehead and thrust his hips forward quickly burying himself inside her to the hilt. Kagome yelped when she felt Inuyasha’s length tear through her maidenhood. Inuyasha lay still his length buried deeply inside of Kagome’s tight center. His amber eyes were frozen onto the angelic face of the beautiful raven haired woman that lay beneath him. He raised his eyebrows in surprise when Kagome raised her hips to let him know she had adjusted to him being inside of her.

“Are you sure you’re okay Kagome?”

“Yes, I’m fine Inuyasha, now make love to me.”

Inuyasha grinned at her as he began moving his hips in a slow rhythm above her. Kagome slipped her arms around Inuyasha’s neck and leaned up to press her lips to his. Soon both their bodies were slick and glistening with sweat from their passionate joining and they were both nearing their release. Inuyasha leaned down and opened his mouth to mark Kagome as his mate. Kagome let out what was a mixture between a whimper and a moan when Inuyasha’s sharp fangs sank deep into the soft flesh of where her neck and shoulder joined. The small amount of pain heightened her senses and sent her crashing into an incredible release. Kagome dug her nails into Inuyasha’s shoulders leaving little red half moons from how hard she had grabbed him. Inuyasha gave a low growl as he lapped the mark he had left on his mate.

The wonderful sensation of Kagome’s body clenching his length pulled Inuyasha into his own shattering release. Kagome squeezed her thighs against Inuyasha’s hips as she felt him thrust one last time into her trembling body. It wasn’t long after that she felt his hot seed spilling into her womb. Once the last of his essence had flooded her womb Inuyasha collapsed onto Kagome careful that not all of his weight was on top of her. He lay with his cheek pressed against her breasts and his arms loosely around her waist. He could hear her heart beating in her chest and it was finally slowing back to normal now that she was coming back down from her climax.

Inuyasha realized that he could lay there in bed like that with Kagome forever and never regret any of the time they had spent together. Kagome’s legs were draped around Inuyasha’s waist and her feet rested on his lower back just above his backside. She was slowly running her fingers through his long silvery hair and he was happily taking in her wonderfully intoxicating yet soothing scent. He might have had to wait ten long years for her to come back to him but in the end she had come back to him and that was all that he cared about. His beloved Kagome had returned and now they would be together for always just as kami had intended for them to be.
