When He Was Mine

To say that the first week after InuYasha was gone was hard is quite the understatement. I tried very hard to keep busy, which wasn't difficult to do since school was coming to the end of my second semester and holidaouldould be approaching within the two weeks. I had exams though and my evenings were filled with studying and writing papers - lots of late nights with lots of coffee.
InuYasha called when he could. His schedule was frantic and I felt guilty for even the little bit of time that I took talking to him when he called. I tried to make the phone calls as short as possible for his sake, I didn't want to take up too much of the time he needed for rest and relaxation. I missed him terribly and I knew he missed me but I could feel him giving me space, and I didn't know, in truth, if that was what I wanted or not. On the one hand, I felt a sense of relief that I could try to get my focus back on myself and my school work... on the other hand, I felt like he was growing further and further away from me. But I had been the one to ask for the time and he had agreed, even if I could plainly see that he didn't want to.
I had just gotten into bed around 12:00 am one evening when the phone rang on my bedside table. I reached for it and grabbed it, pulling it to my ear. "Hello?", I said and heard a moment of silence... nothing more. I was about to hang up, cursing whoever could have called at this hour of the morning and then just SIT there after waking me up when I heard InuYasha's soft. "Hi babe.", back in my ear. I quickly sat up in bed, the pillow falling to the floor. "InuYasha? Is everything alright?", I asked. He sounded different... strange... not at all like himself and my heart started to pound against my ribs. “Yes, everything is OK. I just... I miss you is all, Kagome.", he said lowly and I gripped the phone tightly in my hand. I looked at the clock and made a mental calculation that it was very, very early in the morning, in fact the early hours of the morning where he was.
“Kagome, you still there?", he asked. “Yes, InuYasha, I'm still here. I was just trying to figure out what time it was there.”, I said. "Oh, it's around 4:00 am. I hoped I'd catch yoforefore you went to bed, did I?", he asked. “Yes, you lucked out.”, I half-lied, because I hadn't yet went to sleep. I'd only just gn ton to bed but I didn't want him to worry about waking me. “Good, but why are you up so late?", he asked. I could hear something creeping into his voice. I wasn't sure what but it sounded somewhere between fear and distrust.
"Studying. I've got finals this week and papers to write.", I said. "Oh, yeah. You told me that.", he said. "InuYasha, what is it?", I asked. "Is something wrong?" I heard him take a deep breath on the other end of the phone and hold it, then slowly release it. "No. I just wanted to hear your voice. We went to a club tonight after our show was taped and I got a bit pissed... but I'm ok now, just couldn't sleep is all.", he said. "I'm sorry. You really need your sleep, InuYasha. I should let you go.", I said. God how I hated to think of him trying to get through a grueling day and think I had been the one to keep him up late.
He was silent for a full minute and I wondered if he had fallen asleep on me, or if the connection had been broken. "InuYasha? Hello, you there?", I asked. "I'm here, Kagome. God, why won't you talk to me any more? Everytime I call you rush me off and say you need to let me go... Is this space you wanted working out better for you than you being my girlfriend, is that it?", he asked and I could hear the anger beneath his words... and the pain.
"No, InuYasha, that's not it. You've got it all wrong.", I said. "What part?", he asked, sullen. "All of it. I've spoken with you every time you've called me. I just don't want you to be worn out. You are tired enough without me being added to the mix. Long phone conversations in the middle of the night or early morning can't be helping you.", I said. "Don't you fucking think that I know what's good for me... after all this time? Did you ever think that I might just NEED to talk to you, that I think THAT is what is good for me... THAT is what I need?", he asked.
I really didn't know what to say. He'd sounded so angry but so hurt too, and being far away from him didn't help. There was no way to comfort him. "I want you to fly down to Hawaii and be with me next weekend.", he said at once. "Next weekend?", I asked. "Yeah, we've some time... Three days that weekend and I need you with me. There’s no reason you can't, you said yourself you'll be on holiday… unless, you just don't want to see me.", he said. "God, InuYasha. Please don't say things like that.", I said softly. "Well, it's true...", he pouted. "No, it's not... but anyway... sure, I'll fly down and be with you. Just let me make the arrangements and tell me where to meet you at." I said. "I'll meet your plane and I've already booked it, so don't worry.", he said.
I had to smilas tas this what my bossy boyfriend called giving up control?
He gave me the details over the phone as I searched for a pad of paper and a pencil from my bedside table to write them down. "Ok, I've got it all down.", I said as I read it back to him. "Good... well, I suppose you want to sleep. Damn, I'm missing you so bad.", he said and I pressed my fingers against the phone, wishing I could hold him. "I miss you too, InuYasha.", I said. "Do you really, Kagome... please, do you?", he asked. “Of course, InuYasha... Yes, very much.", I said. "I love you.”, he said softly and I closed my eyes. "Me too.", I answered back.
I hung up the phone and sat there in the darkness for awhile with my arms wrapped around my knees. Was this really good for us, either of us, if it left him feeling confused and hurt? It made my stomach lurch when I thought of leaving him, or of him leaving me, but I still didn't know for sure if this relationship was for the best for either of us.
I was determined to see how things went in Hawaii. To talk to InuYasha and get his thoughts on where he thought we were and where he wanted to be. I wasn't even sure what I wanted except that I wanted him... needed him; in fact, was swallowed whole by the very essence of him when we were together.
I sighed and laid back down on my side, looking out the dark bedroom window toward the night time sky. "InuYasha. I want to be the one.", I said and felt a tear roll down my face.
*****
The next two weeks passed slowly, even though I was very busy. InuYasha called nearly every night no matter where he was, and even if he could only speak for just a little while. He sounded more upbeat as the day drew closer for me to meet him in Hawaii. I only hoped I could cheer him up.
My flight left on time and I got into the airport right on schedule. InuYasha had asked me just to bring a small overnight bag with me since he planned to take me shopping as soon as I got there. The weather was warm and beautiful and I looked around and smiled as I stepped off the plane. This was definitely going to be a beautiful place to relax in.
I hitched my bag on my shoulder and followed the rest of the passengers into the lobby of the airport. InuYasha had told me he'd be there to meet me and I gazed around at the people obviously gathered there to greet the deplaning passengers. I didn't see him anywhere but I knew the hotel we were staying at and if he wasn't there within a few minutes, I'd just hail a taxi to take me there.
I decided to take a seat and give him a good thirty minutes since anything could have happened. My mobile rang as soon as I sat down and I dug it out of my bag and saw that InuYasha's name was displayed on the Caller ID. "Hi, where are you?", I asked. "God, I'm just pulling in the parking area. I got held up in traffic... Shit, wait for me! I'll be there in less than five minutes.", he huffed. I could tell he was agitated and in a hurry and I held back a giggle.
True to his word, he arrived within five minutes. I heard him before I saw him and smiled. He wore a white t-shirt, a pair of faded loose Gas jeans and a sparkling pair of new white Nikes; his smile radiated from his tanned face but his eyes were blocked by a pair of wrap around sunglasses and he looked extremely fit! I jumped up and ran to him, throwing myself into his arms with a cry and he twirled me round and round his face buried in my hair, his arms tight around my waist. We were both laughing as we broke apart and he took my chin in his hand and held my face firmly with one hand while reaching up to tug off his sunglasses with the other, hooking them onto the front collar of his shirt.
"God, you're even more beautiful that when I was home.", he breathed. "No, YOU are! Look at your tan!", I smiled. "You'll never guess wI'vI've found here.", he said. "What's that?", I asked him as he pulled his arm around me and we went back to my seat for my bag. "I want to surprise you, do you mind?", he asked. "Well, no. I don't mind at all. I'd love to be surprised by you.", I said. "Good, it's just that I'm about bursting to tell you about it but I want to surprise you more!", he grinned.
"This must be good.", I giggled. "Oh, it's very good. Let's get out of here.", he said and we walked out of the airport and to the parking area where his rented JEEP sat. "Here, give me that.", he said and took my bag, putting it into the backseat. He unlocked my door and I climbed in while he ran around to his side. I could only look at him as he smiled a huge smile at me, making my heart pound. His hair was shorter than the last time I'd seen him. He wore a killer pair of shades that made him look extra sexy and when he smiled at me, I felt myself nearly melt.
"You look great!", he said and reached over to rub my knee. "Thanks.", I said and turned to look out the window at the passing scenery. It was truly a beautiful place and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. We drove past hotel after hotel and I couldn't help but wonder what ours would look like. InuYasha kept turning rin rin at me and I could tell that keeping a secret from me was killing him. But I refused to give into the bait.
I looked up as we passed by a hotel, it had the same name as what InuYasha had said ours was and I looked back over my shoulder as we passed it by. "InuYasha, wasn't that...?", I said and looked at him. His grin was nearly splitting his face now and I had to laugh at him. "What is it, InuYasha?", I asked. "You'll see!", he chuckled and made a grab for me, pulling me clear across the seat and swerving nearly off the road. I squealed as he laughed and swung the car back to the road and off the shoulder. "Sorry, Kagome, Just wanted you close!", he said.
He drove along for maybe 10 more miles until we were out of the commercial district, then pulled onto a dirt road that led right down to the beach. "InuYasha, where are we going?", I asked him very curious now. Maybe he just wanted to show me how beautiful the water was upclose, it's emerald green color was dazzling to the eye just from where I now sat. I couldn't imagine how it would feel to go into those clear depths.
He rode for perhaps another five minutes and then pulled up in front of a small weathered seaside cottage. The wood was bleached a silvery gray from years and years of the ocean's effects but only added to the charm of the little house. A small railed porch greeted us cheerfully with baskets of bright flowers hanging from the porch railings above as well as window boxes filled with every brightly colored exotic flower I could imagine. I looked at InuYasha, my eyes wide, and saw his face brighten even more. "You like it?", he asked. "Like it? I love it! What is this?", I asked. "It's ours, at leasr thr the weekend. All ours, very private.", he explained. "Oh, InuYasha. I want to see inside!", I giggled and opened the JEEP door, jumping down and running for the front door.
The front yard was basically beach and ocean and my sandals kicked up sand as I ran for the porch. I could hear InuYasha's laugh from behind me as he got out and grabbed my bag, then quickly followed me to the front. A big weathered wooden swing hung from the rafters, even now being rocked by the gentle ocean breezes that wafted over the cottage. I bounced from one foot to the other impatiently as InuYasha dug for the key to the little house. "I've never seen you so excited!", he laughed as he inserted the key and opened the door. "I think you're more excited by this house than you are by me!", he pouted. "InuYasha!", I exclaimed and threw my arms around his neck, so enthusiastically that he stumbled backward from me. "Don't say that!", I laughed and hugged him tightly. He let go of my bag and as I heard it drop to the floor. I felt both his arms surround my waist and pull me tightly to him.
"I've missed you so much!", he said and caressed my back. "Me too... and InuYasha, you haven't even kissed me yet!", I whispered. He hadn't, not even at the airport, and I was too excited about seeing him at the moment to have wondered why. Now it came to me and I looked at him. "You didn't kiss ME!", he said and his eyes fastened on my mouth. "But InuYasha... you always do it...", I said and he shook his head at me. "You keep score? On who kisses who when... since when have you done that, Kagome?", he asked me softly and I didn't know what to say so I pulled out of his arms and reached down to grab my bag, digging inside.
"What are you doing?", he asked me as I finally sat down on the floor and pulled everything out of my bag. "I brought something for you, at least I thought I did!", I was near to tears now. I'd looked and looked for something special to give him, something for him to keep with him always, to remind him of me and our times together. "You brought something for me?" he asked and sank down on his haunches to watch me as I dug thru everything in my bag. "Was it these?", he asked, wiggling his brows at me as he lifted up a pair of silky white panties and dangled them from his finger. "NO, give me those!", I said and snatched them from his hands. He laughed as he watched me stuff them back into the bag and dig through the rest of the contents on the floor. "How about THIS?', he asked once more and I looked up, catching him holding a pretty lilac colored bra. "INUYASHA! Stop that! I'm very serious here...", I cried as I frantically dug through the remaining items on the floor, throwing things back into my bag as I dug through them.
I had now gotten to the few remaining items I had packed into my bag and my gift for InuYasha was still not in sight. I started to cry. I'd taken so long to pick out something perfect for him, something personal and now I'd lost it or left it laying somewhere at home. "Ahhhh, Kagome, it's OK. All I need is you. You have no idea what you coming here for me this weekend means to me. I was so afraid you'd say no.", he said and pulled me onto his lap. That only made me cry harder. I had been so worried about him... and us... not sure what I wanted to do and not sure what was the best thing for him.
"Kagome, what is it?", he crooned as his hands smoothed through my hair. "I... bought... something... spec-special... InuYasha... and nnnn..nnnn..nnoow I can't ffff..find ..IT", I bawled and he held me tighter and rocked me in his arms. "Aren't you over reacting just a bit? Kagome, are you PMS'ing again by any chance?", he asked me. "INUYASHA!", I said and made to get off his lap. "No, stay PUT.", he said forcefully and brought his hands down onto my hips to hold me into place. "Kagome, now look... I have no idea what's going on in that pretty head of yours, but we're gonna straighten it out this weekend for sure. I need my girl back, the one that I love and you've been far too distant to me since I left. All I want is YOU.", he said and lowered his mouth to mine. His kiss was hard at first, crushing my lips, but soon enough it softened and I held onto him as if for dear life.
"Now, you're OK with this? You're not upset by the fact you can't find the gift?", he asked me and I sniffed and wiped at my eyes. "Yes, I'm upset. I wanted to give it to you. I spent a long time finding it, the perfect thing, and I'm just about sure I left it at home!", I cried. "You can save it for me ‘til I get home, can't you?”, he asked and rubbed a finger across my lips. "Yes, I can... Oh InuYasha, I'm so sorry for losing it like that!", I said. "It's OK, Kagome, honestly... And I think it's sweet you bought me something, just save it for me to have when I get home.", he said. "I will.", I said and leaned forward to kiss him.
"Now, how about I show you around our little ‘love shack’? Will that bring the pretty smile back to your face?", he asked me. I smiled a trembling, watery smile and nodded. "Good, now let me up.", he grunted and sat me off his lap as he stood, reaching for my hands and pulling me up with him. "There you go!", he sang and kissed the tip of my nose.
I smiled and looked around at the inside of our 'love shack' for the very first time. It was tiny but clean and very cozy. The bed was the focal point of the whole room. A huge feather mattress covered it and mosquito netting was draped all around it, making it look like something out of a fairy tale. Several comfy chairs and a small table were sat around near a tiny kitchen whose window looked out over the ocean. "Oh, InuYasha!!!", I breathed as I walked around and around the bed, my eyes growing wider, my face warmer. "What is it, Kagome?", he laughed and came to join me. "This is sooooo wonderful. I never in my wildest dreams imagined something soooo... personal, so private for us as this. How did you do it?", I laughed. "Contacts... pays to know the right people.", he smiled. "A friend of a friend knows the person that owns this little stretch of beach and they owed me a favor, so I called them up on it. To tell you the truth, I'd forgotten about it until Miroku mentioned it to me, so I immediately canceled our reservations at the hotel and called in my favor!", he explained. "This is like a dream, InuYasha. I could be here forever!", I sighed and sank down onto the bed. "I'd love to KEEP you here forever, Kagome.", he murmured and walked to the bed, sitting down next to me.
"Have I told you that you're so beautiful today? It was like my heart was beating out of my chest when I spied you at the airport. Something told me you might not come today and I really don't know what I would’ve done if you hadn't!", he said softly. I looked into his eyes... eyes so amber and so intense, eyes that filled my dreams at night when he was away and then I looked down at his hands and picked one up, turning it palm up. I traced the lines that ran across it and pulled it to my mouth kissing it softly. I heard him swallow, actually heard the click in his throat as he did and I smiled at him.
"Kagome?", he nearly moaned. "Yeah, InuYasha...", I answered. "I... we...", he started and then broke out in nervous laughter. "Fuck, I feel like I'm 16 again. I'm actually nervous.", he laughed. I don't know if he knew it or not, but at that moment he made me melt nearly into my shoes. "Oh, InuYasha...", I whispered and pulled him to me, his head against my chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist and held on tightly as I found myself rocking him gently on the bed in my arms. And that's how we sat... for how long, I don't know. It didn't matter; it was what we needed, what we both wanted.
After awhile I felt his head move against my breasts and I released him and looked down, running my fingers through his soft hair. He edged up just a bit and moved his fingers to my blouse. It was a white sleeveless button down blouse that I had tied at my waist. His hands smoothed down the blouse and he looked up at me, eyes wide. I was afraid to speak...afraid to move...it was dead silent in the house. The only sounds were the waves breaking on the nearby beach and our intermingled breathing.
His fingers moved from the top button on down until they reached the knot where I'd tied it. He pulled at the knot and then opened my blouse. It still hung on my shoulders yet he didn't remove it, he just pushed on my tummy and I leaned back on my elbows. He scooted up a bit and laid me back on the bed, lying to my side but leaned over me. "Beautiful...", he whispered and ran his fingers over the front of my bra. I felt my nipples nearly sing with his touch, hardening quickly, and a shudder wracked my body. He took his time, it was like he was memorizing every little pucker and ridge. I felt so warm, so liquid, and I closed my eyes, letting the sensations wrap around me. This was MY InuYasha... My lover.
I felt him put his hands to my skirt; it was a short wrap skirt in a pearly pink color. He pulled at the knot there and I felt it loosen around my waist as he opened it around me. His breath quickened and I felt his hands take hold of my thighs, pushing them apart then running inside of them. I couldn't help myself, I moaned and moved. My InuYasha... My Lover...
I felt him move his hands to my legs and down to my sandaled feet. He unfastened them and slid them off, running a finger against my simple golden anklet. His hands slid into my panties, pulling them down and to my feet but I kicked them off myself. He then crawled back to me and pulled me into his arms.
Pushing my blouse clear off me now, he moved his hands to my back and quickly undid the hook and eye clasp of my bra, freeing my breasts and then sliding the straps off my shoulders.
I sat up then, completely naked, on mees ees and he sat up too. He looked at me for a long time, a very long time, from my head to my toes and then I moved toward him. It was my turn to undress him.
He smiled at me but stayed silent when I sank down near him on the bed. I slid my hands to his waist and to the front of his jeans. Pulling on the buckle, I undid it, and then loosened the button fly. I then grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled up on it, exposing his flat, tanned tummy. My hands moved slowly up, slowly and I let my fingers just graze his nipples. He sucked in a breath and grabbed my wrists on impulse, and I sat still, looking at him. "I... Kagome...", he said and I shook my head and closed my eyes, then planted a soft kiss on his warm mouth.
He let me kiss him, just a simple sweet kiss and I pulled away and sat back. Taking his shirt back from where I had pulled it up, I finished and pulled it over his head. He was good, he was patient, he was silent. My InuYasha... My Lover...
I crawled now to the edge of the bed and let my legs hang over the sides as I reached for his feet. Untying his laces, I loosened the shoes and then pulled each one off him along with his low-cut socks. Then I reached up for his waist and gripped his jeans, yanking on them, making him laugh suddenly. I giggled and he raised his hips, allowing me to pull them off him. "InuYasha Hara!", I burst out and he laughed louder still.
"You like?", he asked me as I eyed his nakedness. My InuYasha was going commando... no boxers, no briefs, just InuYasha- plain, pure and simple. A very aroused InuYasha... a very, very aroused InuYasha! My eyes just couldn't seem to get enough of him. "What in the hell?", I yelped and he grinned wider. "I… well... Would you believe it if I told you I forgot my undies at the hotel?", he laughed. "No, I wouldn't... You can do way better than that one!", I said. "I mean it, no fooling... I did!", he said. "Lucky me then, getting to see you 'swing' all weekend long!", I said and raised a brow at him. He pulled me to him then and rolled on top of me, pinning me to the bed.
"I have wanted this ever since I left you, Kagome.", he said softly and leaned down to place a soft kiss on my mouth. "You have?", I asked as his hands moved to my breasts and began to knead them. "Yes, I have .missed you.", he mumbled as he kissed down my neck. "Me too, InuYasha...", I whispered. His mouth was warm and as he was kissing down my body, his tongue swirled against my skin. "You taste so good. I remembered your smell... taste... every night...", he smiled against my skin. "You did?", I breathed as his mouth reached the hollow between my breasts. "I did.", he said and ran his hot tongue down the hollow and then up to a breast, taking the nipple quickly into his eager mouth. I cried out and he grabbed my hips, sliding his hands up under my bottom and pulled me against him.
"So sexy...", he growled as he pulled me atop him now and I sat astride his tummy, looking down at him. Watching as his fingers moved from nipple to tummy and down to my center. I gasped and he smiled, but his hands kept up their slow, agonizing movements and I felt like my head was spinning. "Kagome? Did you miss me?", he asked me softly and I could only give the barest hint of an answer. "uh... uh huh...", I whimpered. "A lot?”, he asked softly and I swallowed hard and simply nodded, my throat was dry.
"I need you, Kagome... so bad.", he said and I felt him as he grasped my hips once more and rolled me over to my back, going in between my legs quickly. He moved my legs apart, slid his finger down against me and inserted it. "InuYasha!", I cried and jumped against him. "It's Ok, Kagome... It's ok...", he soothed and I hooked my legs around his waist, wanting him inside of me... Oh yes... MY sweet InuYasha... My dear lover...
It felt like heaven when he entered me and I heard him moan low and soft as he pulled back and then went back in again. "Missed... ah GOD... missed you... missed THIS...", he whispered and slowly, very slowly moved in and out of me.
I don't know how long he did this. I felt every sense come alive in me, every little sound was magnified, and then I heard him cry... cry softly but clearly... cry for me.
"Kagome, please stay... don't... don't go... don't leave me... ah... GOD!", he moaned and then I knew he had come, his body first tensing then relaxing and I held him, held him close to me, still inside of me until I felt him relax further and finally sleep in my arms...
My InuYasha... My sweet lover...
