“Kagome dear, your friends are here,” her mother said. “Should I show them in?”
Kagome nodded and InuYasha stood from the chair in which he kept his constant vigil to help her sit up against the headboard of her bed. He tucked the blankets around her legs and smoothed out her hair with his fingers and she smiled up at him.
“You get tired, say something,” he told her as he kissed her forehead. “I mean it, woman.”
Ordinarily she would have been irritated by his bossiness and smothering, but she knew how worried about her he had been, how worried he still was. “I promise, anata.”
The door opened and she tried not to take it to heart they way Kouta and Ayako’s eyes widened at the sight of her. She knew she looked bad with the dark circles under her eyes that never faded no matter how many hours she spent sleeping, stark against her too pale skin and the sunken hollows of her cheeks. She could only imagine what they would have thought the first day or two after when she had looked even worse.
She offered them a smile. “I’m okay, really, or I will be. It was so nice of you both to come considering we haven’t known each other long.”
“Aya-chan and I had such a nice time after the movie, that when we called to see if we could meet up again and your mother told us you weren’t well, we really had no other choice,” Kouta said.
Ayako blushed a little. “The few friends we both have aren’t usually interested in doing things with both of us together, and I know it doesn’t really make sense but it doesn’t feel like we’ve only know each other for just over a week.”
“Keh, makes more sense than you might think,” Inuyasha said offhandedly moving to sit on the bed near Kagome’s knee. “You can sit, ya know.”
Ayako sat down the in chair that had been at Kagome’s desk previously and folded her hands in her lap. “Are you sure you’re going to be okay?”
Kouta frowned. “I hope you won’t take offense but you seem, pale, faded, somehow.“ He shook his head. “I don’t suppose that makes any sense at all does it.”
Kagome looked to InuYasha and could feel him telling her that it was up to her what she wanted to say, that he trusted her to know what was right. “It probably seems that way because if it hadn’t been for InuYasha I’d probably be dead right now. I seem faded because I am, I was, but I’m going to be okay because InuYasha won’t let me go.”
“Of course I won’t, fool woman,” he snorted, but the looked he gave her was one of pure love.
“You see there was this evil man, and I mean pure evil who was obsessed with me and InuYasha and wanted to kill a lot of people,” Kagome explained. “And I can’t tell you why just yet, but only he and I could stop this man. It took everything I had, but he won’t ever hurt anyone again. I know saying that probably makes me sound delusional and that it’s asking you to put a lot of trust in someone you barely know, but it is the truth.”
Neither of them said anything for a long time until Kouta looked at Ayako and then grinned. “Well, that certainly seems like a story I’d like to hear the rest of one day. Until then perhaps I could regale you both with the tale of how the charming young religious studies student convinced the beautiful physical fitness major to marry him at last.”
Kagome looked between them as Ayako blushed madly and Kouta grinned like a fool and gasped. “She finally said yes, then? Congratulations!”
“Of course we aren’t planning the wedding just yet,” Ayako was quick to add.
“Well if you want to have a shinto wedding I can guarantee you that at least one shrine in the city will be available on whatever day you pick, and a miko who will work for free,” Kagome offered as she slid her hand across the blanket towards InuYasha who didn’t hesitate to thread his fingers with hers. “One with a really amazing love story that started under the branches of its sacred tree and spans more than five centuries.”
InuYasha could feel her starting to flag even if she was trying to hide it. “Oi, you promised.”
She felt her face heat. “I’m sorry, but I hate sleeping all the time and they came to see us. I’m okay.”
“If you need to rest, we should go,” Ayako said coming to her feet. “We can come again another day, or maybe you’ll even be feeling up to going out with us.”
“Yes,” Kouta agreed. “What’s important now is you recover your strength. We’ll call again soon.”
Kagome pouted a little but knew they were all just looking out for her. She sighed. “Okay. InuYasha can you show them out and bring me a drink on your way back, too, please?”
He gave her hand a gentle squeeze and nodded before leading the way out of the room. Kouta and Ayako followed him down the stairs and to the front genkan where they put on their shoes. As he watched them he knew that Kagome would want him to say something, to at least try and be polite and he also knew that it was important he really started trying to fit in since he was going to be a part of this world.
“Keh, thanks for coming,” InuYasha offered. “It meant a lot to her.”
“She really is going to be okay, isn’t she?” Ayako asked. “When we met she was so, so…”
“Vibrant,” Kouta said, finishing for her.
“Kagome’s tough,” InuYasha replied. “And a lot stronger than she looks. She’ll get there and until she does, she’s got me to look after her. So don’t worry and don’t stay away. I know she really wants us all to be friends…” He trailed off his face heating, but forced himself to continue, “and so do I.”
Kouta grinned at him. “In that case we’ll see you both soon.”
Once they were gone InuYasha went to the kitchen and got Kagome a drink as she had requested. He returned to their bedroom to find her lying down once again. She looked at him with tired eyes and he held her head up for her so that she could get a few drinks. He set the cup on her desk and returned to the chair beside her bed. It was so hard seeing her like this.
She reached for him laying a hand on his thigh. “You’re hiding from me again.”
He brushed the hair back from her face. “You’re scaring the shit out of me, aisai. I know you can see it without having to feel it too.”
“Come up here and lay with me,” she said. “I won’t break and I need you to hold me. I feel stronger when you’re close to me.”
“You promise not to try and seduce me?” he teased.
She giggled quietly. “No.”
He snorted but climbed into bed beside her, taking her in his arms and holding her against him. He cradled her head in his hand the other around her back. He buried his face against her neck. “I’m never letting you go, Kagome, not ever.”
“Sounds good to me,” she told him placing feather light kisses against the column of this throat.
He groaned a little and lifted his head, nipping softly at the tip of her nose. “None of that. You need to rest. We have the rest of our lives for that, once you’re stronger.”
She made a little growling sound. “I’ll rest on one condition. I want one real kiss from my husband and then I’ll be good, I promise. Please, InuYasha. You haven’t really kissed me since I woke up and I miss you.”
“Alright, but I’m going to hold you to that,” he told her.
She parted her lips and closed her eyes and waited. She felt his breath like a caress before he covered her mouth with his. His kiss started out soft, coaxing as their tongue brushed languidly. She held fast to him, whimpering into his mouth as his arms tightened around her. His youki enveloped her, warmed her from the inside out as he poured his love into her unable to hold back the torrent of emotions flowing through him. She took strength in that love and in the certainty that their life together had only just begun.
He drew away and as her eyes widened, so did his. She could feel how tired he was all of the sudden and touched the dark circles around his eyes with her fingertips. “Are you okay?”
He yawned. “Shit, I feel like I haven’t slept in a week, but you, you look better.”
“I felt something, while you were kissing me, like you were pouring your love into me. Do you think maybe you were giving me some of your energy as well?” she asked.
He yawned against and nuzzled her neck. “Hmm, maybe. Too tired to think about it now. Take a nap with me and we can talk about it when we wake up.”
She giggled as he started to snore. She managed to slip an arm out from under his and reached up to rub one of his ears. She could feel the soft vibrations against her as a contented rumbling spilled from him. A shiver flowed through her as his mouth moved against her skin, his fangs lightly pressing against her throat. She closed her eyes with a smile at the fact that he recognized her even when was asleep.

When she woke up next it was dark out and InuYasha was still sleeping soundly beside her. She hated to wake him, but she really needed to go to the bathroom. She carefully slipped away from him and as she sat up she realized that she finally felt better, like she might even be able to make it down the hall by herself without falling over for the first time in just over a week.
She was tempted to try it, but knew that he would be really upset with her if she fell and got hurt or something, so instead of getting up she leaned over and pressed her lips to his. It took his a second to respond but eventually he did, grabbing her and pulling her down onto his chest as he kissed her thoroughly still not quite awake.
She laughed as he finally opened his eyes and blinked at her as if he wasn’t sure how she had ended up laying on top of him. “Have a good sleep, my handsome hanyou?”
He sat up slowly, moving her with him and looked towards the window. “Shit, how long was I out?”
Kagome glanced at the clock. “Nearly twelve hours for both of us I think.”
He reached over and turned on the lamp and then looked at her, really looked at her, taking her face in his hands. He brushed his thumbs across her cheeks and smiled a little. “You look a lot better. The dark circles are gone and your color is better too.”
“Mmm, I guess I just needed to spend some quality time with my mate,” she told him. “I feel better too. Though I am sorry it knocked you out for so long just because you kissed me.”
“Don’t be stupid,” he said. “You’ve finally started to get better. Sleeping with my mate is a small fucking price to pay for that.” He wrapped his arms around her, crushing her against him. “Fuck, you even feel better. Your reiki is coming back. Don’t ever fucking scare me like that again. I need you with me.”
“I won’t,” she assured him. “Now escort me to the bathroom since I know you won’t let me go by myself just yet.”
“Damn right,” he told her. “You may be better, but I can tell you aren’t completely recovered just yet.”
“Yes, yes, I know,” she said her tone exasperated but a smile on her lips.
He snorted but got up and then offered her his hand. She was a little surprised that he actually let her walk at his side rather than simply sweeping her up into his arms but appreciated it nonetheless. He really was the best husband a girl could have asked for and she hoped he knew just how lucky she felt to have him. He was waiting for her when she came out and since he had conceded to her desire to walk she circled her arms around his neck and let him carry her back to their room.
He set her carefully back into bed and then joined her. Clearly sleeping in the bed with her was helping and he would do anything to see her back to her old self. Suddenly he felt just a tingle of her power slid along his skin and could feel her amusement and realized that she was definitely up to something. He shivered as she sent a deliciously naughty sensation at him that shot directly into his groin.
He scowled at her. “Cut that out, woman.”
“I thought you wanted me to get better,” she said.
His brow furrowed. “I do, which means you need to rest not to do that.”
“Are you sure about that my husband?” she asked a teasing lilt to her voice that was hard to ignore. “Maybe it’s exactly what I need. After all if kissing me made me this much better, then what might something a little more satisfying do?”
He wanted to see a flaw in her logic, he really did. Okay so that was a lie. He wanted her to be right, but what if she wasn’t and it made her worse again because she exerted herself too much. “Kagome, I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
She growled a little and nibbled along his jaw. “You are overthinking this, my handsome hanyou. How about we make it a quick one and I promise to lay here and let you do all the work. Please, I ache for you my mate.”
Now how the hell was he supposed to say no to that. She smiled then and he knew that she sensed that he was going to give in and let them have what they both really wanted, each other. He pushed her onto her back and moved to kneel between her legs. She reached for her pajama bottoms to push them down and he stopped her, grabbing her wrists.
“Hold it right there, woman,” he said with a smirk. “The agreement was you lay there and let me do all the work, so that’s what you’re going to do unless you want me to stop.”
She captured her lower lip between her teeth and shook her head. “I’ll be good, I promise.”
It was torture as he undressed her slowly, being careful not to touch her at all. For someone who wanted this to be quick he sure was taking his time, but she wouldn’t complain as long as he kept going. She’d missed him desperately and though she had to admit she hadn’t been in any condition to be with him even earlier that day, she was now.
She gasped and her whole body started to tingle as kissed the instep of her right foot and worked his way upwards. She could his love for her in every scrape of his fangs and in with every swipe of his tongue. She could also feel how very much he wanted her and it warmed much more than just her heart. She whimpered as he nibbled her inner thigh.
“InuYasha, please,” she breathed.
“Hush, woman,” he replied turning his attention to her other thigh. “This was your idea.”
She made a frustrated sound that quickly melted into a moan as he closed his mouth over her at last. He teased her relentlessly, keeping the gentle caress of his tongue just light enough to keep her from reaching her peak. She whimpered again, a plea, as she fisted the sheets and this time he took mercy on her letting a growl spill from his lips that vibrated against her and sent her careening towards the heavens at last. As the tremors that rocked her subsided she reached for him.
He was licking his lips as he crawled up her body looking far too smug, but she would let it slide this time provided he hurried up and made love to her now. She hooked her legs over his calves and rocked her hips, a clear message.
He groaned, nibbling at her throat. He slid himself along her folds, delighting in the liquid heat that coated him more thoroughly after each pass until he pulled back just enough to allow himself to slip inside. Her back arched and she clung to him desperately as he filled her with a smooth thrust of his hips. He knew he would never tire of the way they fitted together and knew with absolute certainty that they were made only for each other.
“Mmm, of course we were, anata,” she breathed. “Now, love me.”
And he did. And the next time they woke up together there was no trace of the faded Kagome who had held his heart in a vice, and in her place was his Kagome as bright and as beautiful as she had ever been.
