A Wonderful Christmas Night

Winter Wonderland One-Shot

By Lynns

Kagome stared out the window of the taxi window as familiar buildings and stores came into sight. The weather had turned for the worst, but they were lucky to have left the cabin when they did or they would have been trapped in it in the middle of the country. Kagome glanced over at Inu-Yasha who was sleeping peacefully at her side with his stomach full. The half demon had eaten most of the Christmas dinner so that there were no leftovers. Kagome then looked down at her engagement ring and smiled. She couldn't wait to tell Miroku and the others . . . that is after Naraku was destroyed and there was no more danger. She sighed and snuggled closer to her mate. They would reach the shrine grounds soon, but Kagome didn't feel like heading back to others quite yet. Shrugging her shoulders she decided that her and Inu-Yasha would go in the morning since it was almost eleven at night.

"We are here Ms. Higurashi," said the taxi driver, pulling up beside Kagome's shrine.

The girl shook the half demon awake, "Hey sweetie, we're here,"

Inu-Yasha yawned and stared down at Kagome, "Did you just call me sweetie?"

Kagome giggled and nodded as she got out of the taxi. Inu-Yasha grabbed their bags while Kagome paid the driver. Taxi's of course in Japan were rather expensive, but Mrs. Higurashi had given Kagome enough to pay the driver, and she vaguely wondered where her mother had gotten that kind of money. (For some reason the part of the taxi's got cut out in the original chapter)

"So are we heading back tonight?" asked Inu-Yasha as they walked up the long stairs.

"I think we should go in the morning,"

Inu-Yasha nodded, "So when is your family coming back?"

"In about three more days, it really depends how this storm holds," said Kagome, moving closer to Inu-Yasha. The wind had started to blow even harder, and the snow was coming down in huge flakes. She unlocked the door and stepped into the darken house.

"Mrrroowww!"

"Hello Buyo," said Kagome, turning on the light.

Inu-Yasha closed the door behind him, setting their bags to the floor.

"Well I say we go to bed, it's late," yawned Kagome.

"Agreed," said Inu-Yasha, following Kagome upstairs. The half demon had grabbed his red pants to wear to bed as he waited outside of Kagome's door, waiting for her to change. Kagome appeared a moment later wearing her familiar striped PJ's.

"Let's go to my mothers room, my room is freezing," said Kagome.

Inu-Yasha nodded and briefly went into Kagome's room to change. He then went into Kagome's mother's room to see his mate already in the rather large bed. Inu-Yasha blushed slightly before crawling in next to her and wrapping his arms protectively around her. Kagome couldn't help but continue to stare at her ring, "Thank you so much,"

"Your welcome," whispered Inu-Yasha, kissing Kagome's forehead.

"I feel kind of bad that I didn't get you more," said Kagome, glancing at the locket around her neck.

"You didn't need to, I love my present,"

Yet Kagome still felt rather guilty she didn't get him something more. She then leaned up and kissed her lover on the lips. Inu-Yasha responded a moment later, pulling himself on top of his mate so he could deepen the kiss as their tongue's battle playfully.

"Inu-Yasha . . ."

"Hmmm?" he mumbled.

Kagome blushed softly as her hands came up to thread through his hair, rubbing his ears softly between her fingers. Inu-Yasha gave a soft groan and leaned into her touch, a soft shiver running up his spine. Kagome leaned up and gently kissed Inu-Yasha's cheek, making him shiver again as she pressed her form closer to him. Inu-Yasha's eyes flashed open as an all familiar tingle shot up his spine, and his demon instincts started to kick in to high gear. His body was on top of hers, Kagome's hands tangled in his hair, and her body pressed tightly against his. He could feel the heat from her skin and the arousal in her scent, and the response from his own body was kicking in as well. Images flashed into his mind of thoughts and fantasies he had pictured of Kagome and himself having. Thoughts of what her skin would taste like, what sounds she would make as he made love to her, or what her facial expression would be as she climaxed.

"Kag . . .Kagome . . ." hissed Inu-Yasha, trying to pull away from her.

"Inu-Yasha . . .what is it?" asked Kagome, hurt in her eyes as he pulled away from her.

Tossing the blankets from his form Inu-Yasha pulled off Kagome, rolling on his back and breathing hard slightly. Biting his lip softly he tried to forget the desire running through him for the woman beside him. They had promised to be mates, she had also been marked as his, but not being able to finish the true bond between them was getting tougher each day.

"Inu-Yasha what's wrong?" asked Kagome, sitting up and looking down at him.

Inu-Yasha sighed softly, "Kagome . . . I can't stay here with you tonight . . . my . . .my demon side is kicking in . . . so . . .I . . ."

Kagome blushed softly as she understood what he was trying to say and couldn't look him straight in the eye for a moment. The two of them had agreed that they wouldn't make love with one another until Naraku was killed, but apparently is was getting tough with Inu-Yasha's demon side. Kagome was about to speak saying perhaps she could go sleep in her own room, but then a small thought came into her mind. 'Naraku's known my love for Inu-Yasha, and his love for me. It was obvious to anyone . . . except us at least . . . but . . . if Naraku really wanted to use me to get to Inu-Yasha, I'm sure he would have done it already . . . so . . . so maybe . . .'

Taking a deep breath, and blushing a deep cherry red, she pushed the covers back and crawled on top of the half demon, straddling him. Her blush grew deeper as she felt his hard arousal against her leg. Inu-Yasha's eyes flashed open as he felt Kagome on top of his body. The look in her eyes told him everything of what she was thinking, and that did not settle well with him. Inu-Yasha opened his mouth to speak, but Kagome placed her finger on his lips silencing him.

"I know what your going to say . . . but I . . . I want what you want . . ."

Inu-Yasha breath shivered under her finger, and she could see him trying to deal with the feelings he was dealing with right now. He leaned up, and she thought that he was going to kiss her, but when his hands came to her shoulders, he pushed her off him. The push wasn't rough at all, but enough for her to remove her from above him, and she fell to the bed gently. Inu-Yasha sat up and turned, his legs hanging over the edge of the bed, and his face in his hands. His form was hunched over and his body shivered slightly.

"Kagome I can't . . . we both know it . . . with Naraku it's dangerous . . . and any other half-demon haters out there too will be after you . . . I . . .I can't risk that Kagome . . ." whispered Inu-Yasha, fear clearly in his voice.

Kagome sighed softly and Inu-Yasha felt her move on the bed. Thinking she was going to her room to be safe from him he didn't look up, but then he felt Kagome's arms slip under his, embracing him from behind. Another shiver ran up his spine, and thoughts started to run through his mind. Her soft and warm form pressed against his bare back, and not to mention the softness of her breasts on his shoulder blades. Kagome's head rested on his neck, and her even soft breathing on his shoulders.

"Kagome . . ." Inu-Yasha breathed. 'Why? Why is she doing this? Doesn't she know what her actions are doing to me?'

"Shhh . . . Inu-Yasha . . . I know what your going to say. You're right . . . with Naraku around it is dangerous . . . but why hasn't he tried to use me to get to you before?"

Inu-Yasha's hands left his face as he stared at the floor, her words making a little sense in his mind.

"And perhaps half-demon haters will come after us . . . but will that make a difference with Naraku dead or alive?" whispered Kagome, her head leaning up to kiss his ear softly.

His hands came up and covered hers, feeling the soft flesh in his clawed ones.

"Inu-Yasha . . . I . . I want to . . ." Kagome blushed again and she knew Inu-Yasha would feel the heat on his skin from her cheeks.

Inu-Yasha blushed too; he knew what she was asking . . .

"I want us to make love . . ." whispered Kagome.

The half demon started to blush even a darker shade of red as he turned his gaze to meet Kagome's. Even in the darkened room he could see her clearly, and felt a shiver run up his body as the moon's light engulfed her from, making her pale skin shimmer in the moonlight.

"Kagome . . ." whispered Inu-Yasha, his upper body twisting so that his hand could cup her cheek, and his lips sought out hers, kissing her softly. Both closed their eyes as they were lost in the kissed, and Inu-Yasha wasn't sure when he had twisted the rest of his body around so that he was fully facing Kagome. They fell softly to the bed with Inu-Yasha on top; his body covering hers as they continued the kiss, tongue's teasing one another. Kaogme's hands rested on his shoulders as she arched her back, pressing her form closer to his, wanting be as close to him as possible. Inu-Yasha pulled his lips softly away from hers; staring down at her beautiful face, but then sudden realization reached his senses of to where they were. The half demon blushed slightly and waited for Kagome to open her eyes before she spoke.

"I . . . I don't think we should do this here . . ." whispered Inu-Yasha, panting slightly from their previous kiss.

Kagome nodded softly, "My room?"

Inu-Yasha nodded and slowly got off the bed, getting to his feet. Leaning down, he took Kagome into his arms, easily carrying her out of the room, one arm under her knees, the other on her back for support. Kagome's own arms had come around Inu-Yasha's neck as she leaned up to kiss him again. Inu-Yasha kissed Kagome back softly as they walked out of the bedroom and down the hall to Kagome's room.

A sly smile appeared on his lips as they approached Kagome's bedroom, and he was quite pleased with himself that he had the situation under control. Even thought the conversation of 'sex' had never been one he had to discuss, didn't mean that he didn't know what he was doing. One reason for this was that he had been snooping through Kagome's room one afternoon since he had been so bored while waiting for her to come home from school, and found a book under her bed. Thinking it was one of her schoolbooks, he opened it to take a look, not realizing it as a 'sexual education' book Mrs. Higurashi had given to Kagome. After realizing what it was he had tossed the book half way across the room, blushing a very deep red and was about to leave to go sit in the god tree. Just as he was climbing out the window, he stopped himself and stared at the open book that was lying near Kagome's door. Miroku would always tease him about not knowing much about sex and here was an opportunity to prove that perverted monk wrong. Gritting his teeth, Inu-Yasha closed the window, grabbed the book, and planted himself on Kagome's bed. The entire time he didn't stop blushing, but he felt his pride rising as he educated himself about the human body. The book didn't go into much detail, but it taught him enough for his mind, since had Inu-Yasha figured no one would ever want to mate with him. The second reason was because of his natural instinct, which would make him pay close attention to her reactions and make sure he was doing a good job to please her.

He felt slightly confident as they walked into her room, because even though he had knowledge of what he was doing, this was his and her first time after all.

Inu-Yasha laid Kagome on the bed, staring down at her as her form was engulfed by the moonlight once again, making her more beautiful than he could imagine. Smiling Inu-Yasha lay down beside her, and Kagome rolled on her side as she turned to face him, her hand reaching out to cup his cheek, "I love you . . ." she whispered softly.

Inu-Yasha smiled softly and kissed her wrist, "I love you too Kagome," He pulled her close for another kiss, wrapping his arms around her tightly. Another shiver ran up his spine again as their bodies were pressed tightly together in one of their very passionate kisses for the night. Making sure his arms were around her securely, he rolled over onto his back, pulling her on top of him. He hear her small gasp of surprise, but their lips found one another and the kiss continue. Her arms were resting on his chest as Kagome tried to keep some weight off the half demon below her.

Inu-Yasha's clawed hands slipped under her pajama top, feeling the smooth and soft skin of her back. He felt Kagome tremble in his embrace from his caresses, and since they had the entire night to themselves, there was no rush in either of their actions. His claws ran up and down her back, along her sides and shoulders. Kagome's hands traveled up to his vulnerable ears, massaging them softly between her fingers. Inu-Yasha growled softly against her lips, causing Kagome to giggle softly.

"Feels good?" teased Kagome, giggling as he growled up at her again.

Inu-Yasha's hands had stopped caressing her back as he rolled over again so that he was on top this time. Supporting his weight on his forearms, he stared down at the woman below him before his lips found her neck, licking and kissing the pulsing point. A soft moan escaped Kagome's lips, her hands still remaining on his ears as she continued to rub them. Inu-Yasha nuzzled his head against Kagome's, causing her to release his ears and move to his bare back. Licking her ear softly he whispered, "Kagome . . . are you sure about this?" he had to know . . . had to make sure that it was okay with her.

Kagome nodded softly, and whispered, "I have never been this sure about anything in my entire life,"

Smiling softly Inu-Yasha kissed her again, his tongue teasing her lips softly, as if begging to be let in. Kagome opened her mouth willingly, and their tongues battle back and forth for control. Inu-Yasha's hands slipped between them to her nightshirt, his fingers finding the buttons and slowly undoing the first. Releasing her lips, he rained butterfly kisses down her cheek . . .to her chin . . . to her ear . . .her neck . . . and stopped at her collarbone, licking and nibbling the flesh. He wasn't sure exactly what he was doing, but by her scent and sounds she was making Inu-Yasha knew he was doing something right. Thinking of what to do next, he slowly kissed his way down her willing form as he undid each button of her nightshirt. Kagome's eyes never left his face as she watched him move down her body, and shivered every time he kissed her flesh. As Inu-Yasha undid the last button, his hands slowly pulled the material back, and Kagome shivered as the cold air rushed over her upper body. Sitting up on his knees, Inu-Yasha helped Kagome up so she was sitting in his lap. Slipping one hand under the nightshirt to support her back, he slowly slid the sleeves off her arms before tossing it off to the side. As he pulled Kagome closer to him, he groaned softly, feeling her soft breasts against his chest. He could see Kagome's blushed cheeks in the dark, and smiled softly as his lips found hers again. They kissed slowly, her hands tangled in his silver hair while his were on her lower and upper back.

Inu-Yasha slowly lowered her back to the bed, his eyes staring intently in to hers, and saw no sign that she wanted him to stop. Smiling softly he leaned down and kissed her forehead, "You are so beautiful . . ." he whispered softly.

"Inu . . . Yasha . . ." breathed Kagome, her hands still tangled in his hair as they found his ears once again. The half demon gave a small groan and once again started to kiss his way down her body. As his lips fell on the swell of her breast his eyes darted up to meet hers, making sure she was fine with what he was doing. Seeing what he needed to see in her eyes, he slid a little lower gently kissing the nipple of her left breast. Kagome gasped softly, and her fingers began to massage his ears a little more harder, causing Inu-Yasha's eyes to roll into the back of his head from the pleasure.

"Oh . .. Kagome . . ." moaned Inu-Yasha softly, his clawed coming up to cup her breasts, twirling the erect nipples with his thumbs. Kagome arched her back into his touch, her heart pounding in her ears as she gasped for breath. A fine sheen of perspiration broke over her entire body as Inu-Yasha's mouth latched onto her right breast, sucking on it softly between his lips. Even though the room was chillingly cold, to the two lovers on the bed it felt like a sauna. Kagome gasped softly as her half demon started to pay attention to her left nipple, causing her to arch her back more off the bed. Deciding she would return the favor of the pleasure she was feeling, Kagome released her fingers from Inu-Yasha's ears and lowered her head, kissing on of the fuzzy triangular ears. Hearing Inu-Yasha gasp softly against her breasts, she smiled and continued her attentions to his sensitive ears. The feeling of Kagome's lips on his ears sent shiver after shiver down Inu-Yasha's spine, causing him to groan softly as he let the feeling take over him, his head resting between Kagome's breasts. Kagome smiled inwardly at the reaction from her half demon. Blowing softly into one of his ears, she heard a particular loud groan that even made her own body shiver with excitement. Growling softly Inu-Yasha moved up, releasing his ear from her lips and replacing them with his own. Instead of a slow kiss this one was full of need and passion that was burning in both their bodies. Once air became something that was much needed, both broke away from the kiss, panting softly as they stared into each other's eyes. Inu-Yasha smiled down at Kagome, kissing her lips softly and moved back down her body again to where he left off. Cupping her breasts between his clawed hands again, he kissed between her breasts softly, and began moving down to her stomach with butterfly kisses. He could feel Kagome arching more into his touch, and he could hear her heart pounding in her chest along with his own. As he made his way lower down her body, the scent of her arousal started to get stronger, almost drawing him down like a moth to a flame.

Kissing the flesh of her lower abdomen, his clawed hands released Kagome's breasts and moved down to the waistline of her pajama pants, slowly slipping them down her legs and past her ankles. Kaogme's eyes slowly opened as she met Inu-Yasha's golden ones, which glimmered softly from the light from the moon. Making it up as he went, Inu-Yasha slowly started to kiss up her body, starting from her toes and up to the middle of Kagome's thigh. With each heated kiss up her body earned him a soft moan from Kagome, encouraging him to continue. Reaching the apex of her thighs, the smell of her arousal overflowed his senses causing him to give a groan. Her smell was wonderful in his mind, and his instincts were clearly telling him that she was ready. Inu-Yasha crawled back up, covering her with his body and kissing her lips softly.

Kagome's hands slipped down his sides, seeing if he was ticklish in any spots, but found none as her hands reached the hem of his red pants. Grasping them softly Kagome slowly pushed them down, over his rump and down to his knees. Inu-Yasha lifted himself up slightly kicked the pants off, leaving them both bare as the day they were born. Kagome spread her legs slowly, bending them as she readied for Inu-Yasha to enter her.

"You ready?" whispered Inu-Yasha, almost afraid to speak incase it would break the moment surrounding them.

Kagome nodded softly, her breath coming out in small pants as her arms wrapped under his arms, her hands resting on his shoulder blades. Leaning down to kiss her softly, Inu-Yasha slowly pushed his hips forward, his member slowly entering her tight tunnel. Kagome whimpered softly with pain and with pleasure as he filled her. The feeling was strange and yet wonderful at the same time. Inu-Yasha continued to slowly slide into her until his tip hit her barrier, and his instincts immediately kicked him, giving him the feeling that this would hurt Kagome. Wrapping his own arms around her and kissing her lips he whispered, "I'm sorry . . . forgive me," giving a small thrust as he broke through her virgin barrier.

Kagome gave a small cry against his lips, her body shaking slightly and her finger nails digging into the meat of his shoulder. Inu-Yasha gave a small whine and kissed Kagome's face all over.

"It hurts . . ." whimpered Kagome, her finger nails digging a little deeper into his shoulder

"Do you want to stop?" whispered Inu-Yasha, preparing to pull out of her. When Kagome gave no answer, he started to pull his hips back, but stopped when her legs wrapped around his hips, keeping him there.

"Just give me a minute," whispered Kagome.

Inu-Yasha kissed her lips and whispered back, "Take as long as you need,"

The two lovers didn't move for a few minutes, and soon movement was all they could do. When Kagome gave a nod that she was ready, Inu-Yasha started move within her, and groaned at the feeling of being inside of her. It was a feeling that the two lovers had never felt before, and yet it was a feeling that they didn't want to stop. Inu-Yasha's thrusts and movement was slow and gentle, going slow for Kagome's sake since his demon instincts were screaming for him to go faster. The demon blood in him was boiling, wanting the feeling of pleasure to increase, and just pound into Kagome until he was satisfied. Inu-Yasha managed to shake the feeling off, and take his time with Kagome. When Kagome whispered into his ear that he could move faster, the half demon gave a small groan, thrusting his hips into a faster tempo.

The two moved together, breathed, moaned with feelings of pleasure as if they were one . . . and yet they were one . . . bonded together as lovers and mates. Inu-Yasha's ears twitched back and forth at the amazing sounds around them. The sound of Kagome's and his moans in unison . . . the small creaking of the bed as they moved . . . the sound of their moist flesh rubbing together . . . their heart beats pounding in their chests . . . and their breathing as they gasped for air. Both couldn't get enough of the feeling that was rushing through their bodies, wanting to feel more of it.

"Ah . . .Inu-Yasha . . ." moaned Kagome, her eyes never leaving his as they made love together.

"Kagome . . ." breathed Inu-Yasha kissing her passionately as his pace quickened, thrusting into her just a little bit harder.

Kagome clung to him, never wanting to let Inu-Yasha go as they moved as they moved together in unison. A small tingling feeling started to wind up in Kagome's belly, causing her to moan softly as a dizzying feeling took over her. It reminded her of the times on the tire swing when you were spinning faster and faster . . . and yet this feeling was not one that she wanted to stop, but craved for more.

Inu-Yasha could feel her tight tunnel begin to tighten softly, causing him to moan softly in her ear as he moved a little faster inside of her. Sweat started to drip from his face, landing on Kagome's shoulder as the feeling inside his body increased more and more, and his instincts kicked in yet again, letting him know that both of them were close. His face nuzzled into the crook her neck, his teeth nipping at her shoulder and neck.

Kagome let out a silent scream as an unbelievable feeling took over, almost causing her body to go numb as the pleasure spread through her. Her back arching off the bed and her arms clinging more tightly to Inu-Yasha as her climax took her over the edge. Since her body was numb from her orgasm Inu-Yasha took the chance to mark her, his clawed hand quickly going to her hip and leaving a small gash their with his claws.

Inu-Yasha felt it, her inner muscles clutching him so tightly inside of her that it caused his own orgasm to come forth. A long and loud groan left Inu-Yasha's lips as the dizzying feeling swept over him as well, causing him to collapse on his mate. Kagome kept her legs wrapped his waist, and her arms tightly around his shoulders as both tried to regain their breath and wait for the bodies to spiral down from the dizziness of their passion.

Finally Inu-Yasha lifted up on his forearms and pulled out of Kagome before pulling her with him as he rested on his back. Their heartbeats thundered in their chests as they tried to calm down their breathing from their passionate moment. Getting his breathing under control Inu-Yasha leaned his head down and kissed Kagome's temple, "I . .. love you," panted the half demon.

Kagome tilted her head up and kissed under Inu-Yasha's chin, "I love you . .. too . . ."

Inu-Yasha smiled contently and closed his eyes. His ears were slightly ringing from his climax, and his body felt tingly all over. The scents of their sweat and climaxes was all around him . . . he was surrounded by her love and devotion to him.

After a few minutes of lying together in a pile of limbs, Inu-Yasha shivered slightly at the coldness from Kagome's room.

"Shall we head back to your mothers room?" asked Inu-Yasha, not liking the idea of spending the night in a cold room.

Kagome nodded softly as Inu-Yasha slowly sat up with her still in his arms. The half demon reached down and retrieved Kagome's underwear, helping her slip them on, and also grabbing a pair of boxers from his suitcase which was still lying on the floor. Going back to the bed, Inu-Yasha knelt down beside her and examined the small gash on her hip. Leaning his head forward, he licked the wound clean before picking up Kagome into his arms, carrying her back to the warm bedroom where they could spend the rest of their romantic evening.

Walking into Kagome's mother's room, he pulled back to covers and set her down before crawling in himself. As the two cuddled together, they almost instantly fell asleep, their bodies needing rest from the night's events . . .

Light spread throughout the house from the morning sun, causing Buyo to open his eyes. The snowstorm had subsided a little, but the wind was still blowing rather hard. The cat gave off a small yawn, and jumped off the couch and headed upstairs for a new place to take another nap. He headed for a particular room, but the door was closed. Blinking, he started to claw at the door, trying to get in. The curtains had been closed tightly, not letting any light into Mrs. Higurashi's room, making it completely dark. A small scratching noise caused Inu-Yasha to awaken from his deepens slumber. His ears twitched as he recognized Buyo's soft whining meows.

"Buyo! Go away!" hissed Inu-Yasha, not wanting to get up and shoo the cat away. He could hear Buyo leave and head into Kagome's room. The half demon sighed and snuggled more closely into the blankets. The last thing he wanted to do now was get up. He was still quite exhausted from the night's events that had taken place in Kagome's room and getting out of bed was not one of the priorities on his list. Even in the dark he could still see Kagome sleeping peacefully on his chest, her head resting under his chin. His grip tightened around the girl as his hands ran smoothly along her bare back, down her sides, but finally stopped at her hip. He could feel the small scar and was glad that the gash wasn't bleeding anymore. Inu-Yasha felt happy and content with his mate lying on his chest and in his arms. He would have preferred to wait till later to show his act of love, but he didn't mind that it was Kagome's Christmas present to him. Leaning his head down, he ran his lips over the mate mark, and the small bite marks on Kagome's neck and shoulder. He could hear Kagome's breath becoming slightly uneven, which meant she would wake up soon. Inu-Yasha brushed his lips against hers, wanting to see those blue-gray eyes look into his own golden orbs. His mate's eyes slowly opened, and she gave off a rather large yawn, snuggling more into Inu-Yasha's warm bare chest.

"Morning . . ." whispered Inu-Yasha.

"Morning to you too." Kagome propped he self up so she could look into Inu-Yasha's eyes. Even though it was dark, she could still see her half demons golden eyes. She touched her hand to his cheek, feeling the warmness of the flesh spread to her hand.

"Do we have to go back today?" asked Inu-Yasha, his hands massaging her back.

"Yes, but we don't have to go back till this afternoon," said Kagome, nuzzling her nose against her lovers.

Inu-Yasha suddenly tightened his grip on Kagome's back and rolled over so that he was on top, "Do you think you're mom will mind . . . that we made love?"

"Probably not," smiled Kagome, kissing Inu-Yasha on the cheek.

Inu-Yasha rested his head under Kagome's chin as she petted his head, her other hand massaging his ear, "Do you think we're moving too fast?"

"No, but I think we should wait before we do this again,"

"I think so too," whispered Kagome.

Inu-Yasha sat up slightly and nuzzled his head against Kagome's, "You are now my mate for life, which means no other demon may touch you,"

Kagome smiled and brought Inu-Yasha back down to his original position on her chest, her fingers running across his ears, "Gods, I'm still tired," yawned Kagome.

"So am I, how does a few more hours of sleep sound and then we'll return to Miroku and the others?"

Kagome nodded and pulled the covers more over their bodies. Inu-Yasha wrapped his arms around her waist, keeping his mate close to him. He could now hear Kagome's even breathing as she drifted back to sleep. He just couldn't get last nights thoughts out of his head. The love . . . the passion . . . the way they had looked at each other as they had made love. Smiling with contentment, Inu-Yasha closed his eyes, falling into a dreamless sleep.

The End
