Even the Mighty Fall

Chapter 2: The Lunar Crystals

Kagome walked down the winding dirt road that led to the lake by the light of the full moon. A warm breeze blew by, surrounded her, and lifted her tresses to the heavens above before settling them back into place. She felt warm and comfortable, as if nothing could possibly stop her from living out this night. She wore a slight smile and curiosity coursed through her veins as she wondered what it was that Inuyasha wanted to give her. Kagome stepped into the clearing and looked around the lake.

�Inuyasha? Where are you?� Kagome walked closer to the shore and looked to her right near the waterfall. This really was a beautiful place. A large waterfall made a good size lake. While six well placed boulders encircled a hot spring close to the falls. This made the lake a little warmer than usual but enabled fresh water to enter the hot spring. But this hot spring looked even more tempting than the ones Sango and her spent most of their nights in during their journeys. There was a sandy shore and a thick forest line that hid this beautiful village secret. Kagome followed the shore toward the hot spring. When she peered around the large boulder she gasped with wide eyes and her hand shot up to her mouth. Nothing could have prepared her for what she saw. Red and white rose petals filled the top of the water while candles encircled it. Lightning bugs danced over the water, bright stars filled the sky, and crickets sang a sweet lullaby. Kagome released the breath she didn�t realize she was holding. �Wow�. This is beautiful.� Kagome jumped as Inuyasha�s voice appeared out of the darkness.

�Does that mean you like it?� He whispered wandering up behind her. Still dazed, she replied not taking her eyes off the wondrous sight.

�Yes, I do.� Inuyasha turned to face Kagome and peered into her creamy brown eyes. He held up a brown paper bag and Kagome was puzzled. Why would he have a bag of all things?

�I hope you don�t mind but, I had your mother pack this for you.� Kagome reached for the bag and opened it to pull out her violet bikini with white blossoms imprinted on it.

�When did you see my mother?� She asked still confused.

�I went back to your time during the party. That�s why I wasn�t there that much. I hope you don�t mind.� Inuyasha dropped his head a little but continued when Kagome nodded. �I just wanted you to have a nice present and thought that after all you�ve done, you could at least have a night of relaxation�. Would it be alright if I joined you?� Inuyasha really has changed since she first met him. Only recently he began to do and say things that weren�t really him. He started to show Kagome affection. Affection�. She never thought she would see it as much as she did then. But he would never show it in front of others. Other than that, they would continue their normal bickers as if nothing changed. But in reality, they had changed. Kagome knew it but didn�t mind it. Kikyo hasn�t been seen for many months which left Inuyasha open to her. She knew he never forgot about her. He would occasionally be caught lost in thought, probably about her, but Kagome never expected him to completely forget. After all, it was she who first allowed Kagome to come into this era when she passed the sacred jewel to her and it was she who saved her from Naraku. It was also she who first loved Inuyasha and who Inuyasha first loved�. But Kagome pushed that to the darkest depths of her memories.

�Oh, yes. Please do.� Kagome smiled and looked down from Inuyasha�s intensely golden eyes as she blushed. With that said, Inuyasha pulled the obi that held his haori and sword in place. Kagome became even redder and quickly turned away. Inuyasha realized he forgot to tell her.

�Your mother also gave me these. They�re�. uh�. bathing cloth.�

�Huh?� Kagome turned around and noticed Inuyasha was wearing black swimming trunks from her era.

�Those are swimming shorts.� She paused for a moment to take in Inuyasha's bare muscular chest and firm legs. Sure, she has seen him with little clothes on before; actually she has seen him with no clothes on before, but not like this. The moon highlighted his silver hair and the shadows enhanced his muscular appearance. He looked like a empyreal war god. Inuyasha noticed her admirations and lightly smiled a her. She began to stutter.

��. I�ll�. change�. bushes�. I�.I, I mean, I�ll be right back.� She finally took her eyes off of him when she stubbed her toe on a rock while turning away. Inuyasha walked into the water with a very noticeable grin on his face and sat on a large flat rock as Kagome stumbled behind the large bushes and proceeded to change into her bikini. She soon stumbled back out and stepped into the soothing water taking a seat next to the hanyou. He never took his eyes off of her when she first left the cover of the bushes. He felt extremely lucky to have a fallen angel sitting next to him.

�How�. How about I rub your back?� Inuyasha asked as his masculine hands made small circles all over Kagome�s tense back as she slightly turned away from him. Kagome soon relaxed and loosened all her muscles causing her to lean back into Inuyasha. The two talked and cuddled for hours. The candles began to dim and the choreographer�s of the lighted water ballet retreated into the night sky. Kagome yawned and looked at her prune like fingers as she was still leaning into Inuyasha.

�Tonight was wonderful and I would love to stay here but,� She softly giggled, �I�m afraid I�ll fall asleep soon.� She yawned again. She glanced up at the stars until she felt his arms snake around her waist and pull her closer. Unfortunately, it meant she had to sit up straight but, she was still very comfortable and didn�t mind.

�Well, why don�t you? Go ahead and fall asleep and I�ll take you back later.� �Yeah, I�ll stay here with you until the earth falls apart.� Kagome sighed in her thoughts. Feeling a little daring, Kagome stood and pulled Inuyasha�s right leg to the side. He looked at her as to ask what she was doing but she then lowered herself and sat between his legs and leaned back into his chest. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist again and pulled her up so his head nestled on her left shoulder. His claws gently moved her ebony hair aside and Kagome closed her eyes as Inuyasha gave her feather light butterfly kisses up and down her neck. �Wow�. I didn�t think he would do anything like this! I�. I�.� Kagome pulled forward and turned to face Inuyasha. She stared into his golden eyes. So full of�. of�.hope. And something else. Something different, odd, shouldn�t be there. But what was it? She didn�t realize what she was doing as she gazed into his eyes and slowly leaned in to kiss him. Her succulent full lips were hungry with desire and barely glazed over his before his head jerked away and peered into the dense forest. He stared at the forest line and sniffed.

�What is it?� Kagome asked after a moment, looking very puzzled. Inuyasha shook his head.

�I thought I�. never mind. Let�s get back to the village.� Inuyasha picked up Kagome to move her to the side and he trudged out of the steamy water. He now lost all content expressions that recently inhabited his face. Kagome shrunk a little. �Oh, so close�. Maybe that wasn�t what he wanted. Probably not. But why would he kiss my neck?� I don�t know anymore!� Kagome frowned, stood, and walked behind the bushes to change into her clothes. Inuyasha watched her until she was out of his sight behind the bushes before he quickly took off the shorts and put on his dry fire rat robe. He walked near the bushes where Kagome was looking rather distant.

�Kagome? Uh�. I have to do something real quick but�. I�ll meet you at Kaede�s. You�ll be alright getting back, won�t you?� He sounded distracted as he asked her.

�Yeah. I�ll be fine.� Kagome finished putting her shirt on a walked out. �What are you going to do?� Kagome looked up and Inuyasha was gone leaving the soaking shorts in a lump below her feet. He only waited for an answer before he leaped into the woods and out of sight. Kagome raised her head to the bright night sky just in time to see one of Kikyo�s soul stealers vanish behind the tree tops. �He�s gone to see her, hasn�t he? I don�t think he really wanted me. I think I just fill the space until he sees her again. That�s what it seems like.� Kagome sniffled. �I don�t think I�ll ever get my wish�. I don�t know if I want it anymore.� The moonlight made it look like a little crystal ran down Kagome�s cheeks as she started to walk back to the village�. Alone and regretful. Kagome normally doesn�t regret many things, but she would do anything, at this point, to change the way she feels right now. Regret, shame, alone, hopeless, remorse, hurt, betrayed, used, and abandoned, just to name a few.
