Chapter 22
Packing had never been on Kagome’s “List of
Favorite Things To Do”, and she reminded herself of
this each time she chose something, folded it neatly and put it into the small
travel case on her bed only to look down at it, snatch it up and throw it out.
She was nervous. She was excited. She was going
away for the weekend with Kouga - something she’d never done before. It made
her nearly quiver with weakness to think of being at his mercy, subject to his
every whim and desire for two entire days. She looked up once this thought
crossed her mind and burst out with a loud laugh because Kouga was probably
feeling the exact same way! She couldn’t remember a time when she’d physically
ached for a man- a boy- whatever! Now she was nearly trembling. She knew she’d
have to get her “sketching brain” in order but thinking of Kouga sitting in
front of her, splayed there… displayed there… naked, nude, bare, exposed,
uncovered… OHGOD! Was it hot, she wondered or was it just her state of mind?
“Shit.”, she mumbled, picking up three pairs of
panties, a bra, three t-shirts, three pairs of very brief shorts- for the
comfort of course! Things she’d previously packed neatly but then discarded, she
now stuffed into her bag. Going into the bathroom, she grabbed her toothbrush,
a hair brush and some ponytail elastics. Her eyes lit on the small pale pink
compact of birth control pills sitting inside the little drawer where her
toothbrush had rested and she grabbed them up, sticking them into the pocket of
her jeans.
“No little wolves, not yet…”,
she mumbled to herself as she threw the remainder of her things into her bag
and zipped it shut. Picking up her backpack, she unzipped it and peered inside,
everything she needed was there. On impulse, she reached for her camera and
tucked it inside as well. She didn’t want to forget a single thing about this
weekend.
“Ok, I’m ready. I’m ready.”,
she sang to herself as she looked about her room and then smiling, closed the
door. Turning, she went into the living room and set her bags down onto the
sofa, hearing InuYasha in the kitchen puttering around. She walked to the
doorway and leaned there, watching him as he made himself a sandwich. A HUGE sandwich.
Had she ever noticed just how nice a bottom he
had? She didn’t think so. Her eyes rested there as she watched him shift from
foot to foot, intent on making his sandwich just perfect. He made her laugh
that way; he could be messy as hell but his damned sandwiches belonged in a
food magazine or a cook book. He was a sandwich artist! That thought made her
giggle and turning quickly, thumb stuck in his mouth sucking off a little
smudge of mayo, he raised a brow.
“I thought you were gone already.”, he said as he licked his other fingers.
“I thought you were too.”,
she said, smiling at him.
“Nah, not yet. Want a bite?”,
he asked, turning to pick up his sandwich.
“Sure. You always make the most beautiful
sandwiches, InuYasha!”, she grinned and met him halfway
across the room. He held the sandwich out toward her and she smiled, closed her
eyes and took a bite. He watched her, his heart in his throat. Oh God how he
loved her, so much it nearly drove the breath from his body! She opened her
eyes and looked at him, a question there then gone.
“Good?”, he managed
with a smile.
“Better than good! Excellent! You make killer
sandwiches, baby!”, she laughed.
“Thanks.”, he grinned, taking a bite and
chewing as he looked down at her.
“So, you getting ready for Sango?”, she asked, rounding her eyes innocently up at him.
“Ready for her? Should I be? Is she certifiable or
something? Does she come with a warning label?”, he
smiled, going to the fridge for a beer.
“No but I thought you might just be… umm, nervous?”, she asked and watched as he balanced his food in one hand
while popping the top on his beer with the other. He had worn a navy blue long
sleeved t-shirt that he’d pushed up to his elbows and as he sipped at his beer;
her eyes strayed to his forearms, tanned and strong then to his hands so big and
she shivered a tiny bit, closed her eyes and looked away. What the hell was
wrong with her? It almost felt incestuous… Jeez!!!! That thought should’ve
stopped her cold.
“I’m not nervous but I think YOU are.”, he said as he walked to the table to sit down.
“Me? I’m not nervous. I’m fine. Excited, impatient but nervous? No!”,
she said and walked over to the sink. Space, breathe, think…
He watched her, his eyes drinking her in, wanting
to beg her not to go, wanting to take her with him and love her all weekend
long, wanting to make her see what love was really about.
“Kagome?”, he said,
taking another bite of his sandwich.
“Yeah, InuYasha.”, she
murmured, her mind on the very graphic dream she’d had of him a few nights
before. She closed her eyes, bit her lip and tried to make it go away. What was
WRONG with her?
“Where’s Kouga?”, he
asked.
She opened her eyes looking out at the parking
lot.
“Getting gas.”, she
said absently.
“You gonna call me when you get there, let me
know you’re OK? Safe?”, he asked before he thought
better of it.
“Yeah.”, she said softly, her mind replaying
the way he’d talked to her in the dream, the gentle way he’d loved her. She
wondered what kind of lover he was?
“KAGOME?”, he said
loudly and she jumped, cleared her throat, took a breath and turned to face
him.
“Sorry, what did you say?”,
she asked.
“I said, are you sure you’re OK? I asked if
you’d call me when you got to where you were going and you said yes…?”, he grinned, sipping his beer. He cocked his head sideways
when she still didn’t answer him and got up at once, going to her.
“Something’s wrong, what is it?”, he asked, bending his knees to try to look her in the
eye.
“Nothing’s wrong. I’m just… ready to go.”, she said.
“Me too.”, he replied.
“You better behave, InuYasha.”,
she said, her former lighthearted mood resurfacing quickly.
“Oh please! Me? I’m as innocent as a choir boy!”, he said and flashed her a cheeky grin.
“InuYasha? Did I ever tell you that you’re
quite handsome?”, she asked and smiled up at him.
“No but thanks for waiting till right now.”, he laughed.
“Do you believe in dreams, InuYasha?”, she asked suddenly and he saw the pink of another pretty
blush staining her cheeks.
“You mean like prophecy, or what?”, he asked her.
“No, just… well, yeah… like things, what they
mean, I guess.”, she said, looking at her hands. He
took her hands in his and held them between the two of them, waiting for her to
look up at him. Finally she did.
“I screwed you up with that kiss, didn’t I?”, he asked, his eyes filled with concern.
“No, not at all. I wasn’t thinking of THAT kiss.”, she said and caught herself but he let it go. Something
was going on with her, he wasn’t sure what but he knew it was something she
wanted to keep within herself and that was OK with him.
The honking of her car horn was the next sound
they both heard and she jumped and then laughed.
“Damn that Kouga, he knows I hate when he does
THAT!”, she laughed, her eyes twinkling merrily.
“Have fun, Kagome. See you on Sunday?”, he said.
“You bet. You have fun too.”,
she said and standing on tiptoe, reached for his face. He felt his heart nearly
jump from his chest as she pulled his face down to within her reach, placing
her lips over his for a heartbeat and then pulling back.
“No matter what, I love you, InuYasha. Never
doubt it.”, she said.
“Ditto, Kagome. Now get out of here before Kouga
comes in after you. He has NO patience, get on with you!”,
he grinned.
“Bye, InuYasha.”, she
said , throwing him a look back over her shoulder as she walked out of the
kitchen to grab her bags.
“Bye.”, he answered, following her to the door.
He lifted his hand to Kouga who waved back as he stood outside the car waiting
for Kagome. As InuYasha watched, Kouga met her halfway, reaching for her bags.
He saw her pull her backpack toward her, cradling it in her arms and smiled, his
throat aching…
Don't, you don't have
to save my life
No, you're not ready i can feel it
Outside its raining
but i'll just go home
Someday your heart
will just let him go
As soon as you get that feeling
You can start to live
again
As soon as the worst
is over
You can make it all
make sense
Right now I can give
you want you need
As soon as you get that feeling...
Run to me
Hush, you don't have to say a word
Trust, I'm not going
to hate you for it
Feels like my touch
only brings back the pain
Someday those memories
will fade away
As soon as you get that feeling
You can start to live
again
As soon as the worst
is over
You can make it all
make sense
Right now I can give
you want you need
As soon as you get that feeling
Run to me
How can I be brave enough to say goodbye
I'd die inside,
without you..oohhh
Cant you see it's hard enough to walk
away
Don't look at me you
make me wrong
I've been through this
to make me strong
As soon as you get that feeling
You can start to live
again
As soon as the worst
is over
You can make it all
make sense
Right now I can't give
you what you need
As soon as you get that feeling
As soon as you get that feeling
Run to me
