Weekend Lovers
III.
The bathroom was filled with fog from the steaming water that evaporated into the air, the sweet scent of lavender dancing with the heat. The mirror on the far-left wall was fogged over, no such reflection showing within its presence.
Kagome relaxed in the tub with her long dark poo pooling over the back, her head resting against the backside. Both of her slender hands gripped lightly onto the sides to keep her from slipping under. The rest of her body, starting from her chest down to her toes, was hidden underneath the surface of the water, which was also occupied by foamy bubbles.
She would have preferred to keep her eyes closed and fall into a pleasant daydream, but every time her mind wandered to Inuyasha. Of course, he was the one to usually fill all those sort of reveries, yet it bothered her when she was slightly confused about what went on between the two of them. She had to admit, that on some occasions, they did have what some may call "awkward moments".
It followed the line of some teenage movie. They could be getting along wonderfully, and maybe even have an amiable moment here and there. Once something interrupted them, rather it be an intrusion or a simple obvious statement, (i.e. "You two seem to be getting along really well this evening.") that moment disappears.
Today, the cookies were the intrusion.
Kagome couldn’t help but damn those cookies. Though, they were tasty.
What she couldn’t understand was why Inuyasha took it so personally. He knew they were having a good time and just because someone else noticed they were, didn’t mean they were going to hold it against him. Miroku, Sango, and, yes, even Shippou enjoyed sg hig him contented.
What happened not twenty minutes ago, however, was not like any other time. He never showed her that much affection before. And, Kami help her, she might have been lavishing in the attention more than she should have. He seemed to enlighten something deep inside her that she never thought existed. The empathy went deeper than the heart…and lower than the stomach. Just remembering it made her legs cross under water.
Kami, what is he doing to mP>
P>
As if trying to send the answer himself, she heard Inuyasha knocking softly on the other side of the bathroom door.
"Kagome…?" his voice came to her ears a lot softer than before; so soft she had to strain to hear. She sat up straight in the tub too quickly, making the water splash about, some dripping onto the floor. Obliviously, her teeth gritted together as she waited impatiently for the water to calm down again so she could hear the hanyou clearly.
"Hai?" she finally answered, hoping he didn’t go anywhere when she didn’t answer right away.
When she didn’t hear him, she thought that he did leave, but then she heard him carefully sit against the door, his back sliding all the way down to the floor. He sighed.
"Can I talk to you?"
Swallowing roughly at the sound of his poignant voice, she nodded before answering vocally, "You know you can talk to me anytime, Inuyasha."
Closing his eyes, the sincerity in her vociferation took his breath away. He rested his head against the door, his orbs slowly opening to become fascinated with the wall across the hall, "First off, I wanna say…" he mumbled for a second or so, not knowing quite how to say what he wanted, then finishing it off with, "about what happened earlier."
Knowing that that was his form of an apology, Kagome smiled to herself. She turned her upper body sideways and folded her arms over the side of the tub so she could rest her head. Some stands of her hair sunk under the water while others floated on the top.
"And it’s not just that," he continued, now feeling some of the heat on his hand that snaked its way out into the hallway from under the door. "I’ve noticed that things have been a little…different for awhile now, and it wasn’t too long ago that I finally decided to admit it to myself."
She didn’t know why, but she felt her heart speed up and her throat pull in all her precious air. What was up with him tonight? Did she do something that struck a cord she never struck before? If so, she could only hope to find that note again.
"I don’t trust people, you know that. Ever since all those years ago with…" he faded off, his heart skipping a beat, "…I don’t think things are supposed to change. I don’t wish to begin trusting anyone again and repeating my life in the same way over and over."
"Inuyasha," she interrupted quickly, her head perking up when she felt herself panic, "don’t say things like that. You can’t just tell me that you don’t trust Miroku-sama or Sango-chan or…or…"
Before she could finish her sentence, it was his turn to intervene.
"You didn’t let me finish! I simply said I don’t wish to trust anyone…but I never said it didn’t happen. Sango’s a taijiya that has many chances to slay me if she wishes. Miroku could suck me in that hand of his anytime he wanted to. You…you could do many things to break me," he paused for a long moment here, recollecting one what he just said, also leaving Kagome to wonder about the depth of his speech.
"But I never would…" she finally whispered into the ow row room which carried the words into the air for them to stay.
Despite the murmur, his sensitive ears picked up on the confession. His golden irises lowered to his huge, clawed hand resting on his knee.
"And I could break you just as easily…" he flexed his claws.
Again, she whispered out to him, "But you never would…"
"How do you know?"
"Because I trust you."
"Why?!" His voice began to come out more desperately, not sure if he felt comfortable with her casual tone.
"You never gave me a reason not to trust you," she admitted, straightening her body again to rest her head back and let her hair fall over the tub. "Everyday you save me from one thing or another and even when your youkai powers blind you, I can see all the restraint you put on yourself so you won’t attack me," she lowered her voice again, "I know you don’t want to hurt me…"
That made him shut his mouth for awhile to think things over. How could she be so positive about all she just said? And even if it was true, even if he didn’t want to hurt her, didn’t mean that he accidentally wouldn’t. Then how would she feel? After he attacked her…would she still feel sarouaround him? Still trust him just as much? How would he himself react to the situation? He didn’t think he would be able to handle getting his memory back and then view her lying there in her own blood.
What’s worse…he would begin to not trust himself.
The thought angered him faster than his mind could handle, "You shouldn’t assume things like that!" he screamed at her, throwing his fist down roughly into the floor. It was hard enough to make a slope in the middle of the hall, but soft enough as to not go all the way through.
Hearing the loud noise got Kagome’s attention again, as she sat up straight in the tub. She even heard the loud growls she could picture coming through his sharp teeth, his claws shining at the want to rip into something.
What had she said to set him off like that! Thinking quickly, she jumped out of the tub, not even worrying about the water that fell to the floor now, grabbed the pure white towel that she had laying on the sink, and simply held it in front of herself before opening the door.
When she saw that his eyes flashed red every few seconds, her worry doubled.
"Inuyasha, nani?! Why are you so angry!?" she yelled, trying to get him back to reason. She took a step forward but paused when he suddenly turned towards her and pointed an accused finger.
"I don’t want to love you!"
Her eyes widened. After that, eveing ing seemed to pause. Inuyasha got his youkai side under control again, his breathing simply came out roughly now. Kagome’s fingers clenched to the towel that covered her, leaving her mostly vulnerable. The indiscreet look he threw her brought tears to the surface of her eyes, making her want to turn away.
Before she could do such an act, however, Inuyasha turned and, by the way he positioned himself, was about to run.
"Tomeru!" she called out, preventing him from moving. He wanted to run…oh, how badly the urge was to just run back to the Sengoku Jidai and forget this moment ever happened. But, for some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to do that. She told him to stop and he had listened.
When he didn’t sense any movement from her behind him, he sighed regretfully at what he said and dropped himself to the floor Indian style. His ears drooped a bit, showing his emotions perfectly to Kagome.
She took a couple steps towards him, feeling her toes and feet on the soft carpet beneath her. She clenched the towel even tighter to her anterior when she was directly behind him. Acting on impulse, she lowered herself to his level by going on her knees, then rested her head on his back.
He tensed up, but quickly relaxed when she made no other further movement. That is, until she decided she could keep her towel up with one hand while her other traveled from his shoulder down to his mid-back, then over to his side and front to finally rest on his abdomen.
"Kagome…" he whispered her name roughly, staring at her hand before cautiously placing his own over top of hers. The simple act made the young miko clench her eyes and apply pressure to bring him closer to her naked body. She felt the blush in her cheeks from the position she invoked upon them, but couldn’t find it within her to move away.
"You should let it come naturally," she told him softly, feeling him run his thumb over the top of her hand, "the want or need shouldn’t be forced…it’s best when it comes freely."
How was it that she understood so much at such a young age? Inuyasha couldn’t help but wonder this. How much did she really know? Sometimes he thought she knew more about him than he did. She could say something about him, to which he didn’t find true, until a couple minutes later when the feeling finally set in. Was he that predictable to the world or was it just her?
He grasped her small hand into his and turned around to face her. Kagome blushed even more at his intense stare, but couldn’t help but wonder if he even noticed she was naked yet. His eyes pierced into hers with an electrical shock that could strike through the hardest material. What was he seeing reflecting in her eyes that made his own change emotions so quickly and so many times?
It was then that she realized…why weren’t they getting interruptedis sis should be the point where someone comes in and catches them doing what they found habitual. But no one was around to postpone the inevitable this time. They were far too into it…Kagome prayed that nothing was going to scare Inuyasha away from her this time. She waited for what felt like forever to be this close to him…to let her know she stood a chance with him.
"I love you."
At first, the phrase shocked her. They were both so deep into the moment, it didn’t give either one a chance to think straight until after the fact. It took her a second to realize, but when she realized the voice that said it was her own, she couldn’t take it back. It was the thing to either make or break the moment. In all her chances, the one she got the furthest with, she thought, was the one she ruined.
Once the initial shock wore off, she felt him jump and got scared he was going to try to leave again. She forgot about the damn towel and modesty when both her arms wound their way around his neck to press him closer against her, her face hidden against his shoulder.
A gasp escaped his mouth when he finally realized her condition, his hands coming in contact with her bare back.
"Don’t be scared," she whispered, the closeness of the two now sinking in. She spoke to him as though he were a young child, wanting to run away from all the monsters that frightened him. She wanted to chase away all his nightmares, "Just trust me."
He shivered noticeably against her and tightened his hold on her. For the first time in his life, he felt he wanted to be protected by her, because she was the only one that knew how to protect him.
Likewise, he wanted to be the only one to protect her.
Carefully, he stood with her in his arms, though she still never showed face. The towel that would have originally stayed between their knees on the floor was now abandoned as he carried her lithe form into her bedroom.
Surprised when she felt her cool bed sheets against her bare backside, she clung to him a little tighter. She relaxed, however, when she heard him say her name reassuringly. When her head reached her pillow, she finally got up enough nerve to lift her head from his shoulder to look at him.
His eyes reflected so much love in them, she felt she never needed to hear him say the exact words…for gestures were stronger than words. Feeling more bold from her revelation, her fingers traced the fine curves of his face, memorizing every feature with her touch. Cupping his face between her hands, she lowered him closer to her, licking her lips before locking them with his.
He drew in a deep breath through his nose, her scent feeling his nostrils in one quick flow. His manly senses finally kicked in when he realized their position, a low moan traveling out when his body instantaneously reacted to her vulnerability.
Although Kagome was innocent, when she felt a pressure in her lower stomach from him, she knew what was happening. Suddenly worrying about what she might have started, her heart seemed to jump out of her chest as she broke the kiss and looked up with worried eyes.
She began to notice how dazed Inuyasha seemed and wondered if he was all there.
"Inuyasha…" she winced at how her voice cracked as she found she didn’t want to bed, nd, nor did she want to whisper. Her eyes brightened when he came back down to Earth, his own meeting with hers again.
"Go to sleep, Kagome. You’re tired," it took all the strength he had left in his body to say that to her, putting her needs before his own. And even though she started something that was so damned hard to stop, he could tell that she wasn’t ready for such an act. He couldn’t blame her, because he felt the same way. Ever since the incident in the kitchen, hdn’tdn’t been thinking straight and needed some time to figure things out.
"Demo…" she said slowly, not wanting to be that kind of girl to put an end to what she started. She was silenced when he placed a long finger over her lips, telling her again to go to sleep.
His other hand lightly slid down her face, making her close her eyes. She couldn’t help but smile from the sweet gesture and kissed his finger before he took it away, "Will you be here when I wake up?"
Sighing lowly, he slid off of her. He laid down beside her and pulled the blankets over top of her while he stayed on top. He was again surprised when she turned on her side and wrapped her hand in his haori.
When he saw that her eyes were still closed, he allowed himself a quick smile before closing his own, trying to get his mind off the beautiful woman laying naked beside him.
