The Start of Something New

The day after her reconnection with Inuyasha, Kagome had broke it off with Bankotsu, yet she hadn't turned around to run into his arms even though she knew that is what he wanted. Miroku had told her that Inuyasha had also broken it off with Kikyou, though he did give him props for staying with her longer than he had ever been with anyone. It was now a week later and she had succesfully avoided being alone with him so that she could mull over her confusing thoughts.

Sango told her that she was being stupid and needed to just get on with it because she knew damn well that is where she wanted to be. She didn't get it though, that may be where she wanted to be, but she didn't even know how to be with him like that. Four years of keeping him at arms length when it came to emotions, she just didn't know how to let him in.

The hard knock on the door startled her and she heard her brother's voice, "Come on Kagome, seriously? Save a little hot water for me, Sango already used all of it at her place." Rolling her eyes she rinsed her hair out and turned the water off.

"Five more minutes Miroku and then it's all yours, okay?" The water was off so he should be okay with at least that, she only heard him snort though and his footsteps as he headed down the hallway back to the living room.

Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby
Does the sight of me wanting you drive you crazy?
Do I have your love, am I still enough

Her phone vibrated as the song trilled through the bathroom and she flipped it open on the counter that it sat on to read the message that she had received.

We need to talk, I'll be over at nine

Inuyasha

Just great....

Towel drying her hair she barely had time to think about the message when her brother ripped the door open and grabbed her elbow and pulled her out of the steamy bathroom buck naked. Screaming she pulled the towel from her head and covered the front of her body.

"What the fuck Miroku!? I was almost finished!" Oh she was heated, this was shit that he used to pull back in high school.

Turning to his nude younger sister he pointed at his watch, "It is almost six thirty and I need to be at the club by seven thirty, preferably a little earlier than that." Cutting the conversation off right there he slammed the door in her face.

Ohhhh he just pisses me off sometimes. She stomped down the hall to her bedroom and she flung the door open. Deciding the only thing she could do was get dressed she turned the radio on and began dancing around the room while going through her clothing.

Don't be afraid to hold me tight...
You know I won't break in two...
What we're doing here tonight...
Sure beats what we're going through...

She held her white sweater in front of her and pulled it on over the lacy black bra she wore, tugging the hem of the sweater down over her panties, the sleeves billowing out after the elbow.

We both loved and lost before...
You know the sadness it can bring...
Tonight let's close the door...
And hold onto the nearest thing...

Really had no plans of leaving the apartment tonight, especially if she was expecting company, not that she invited them but company none the less, so she slipped on a pair of tight fitting jean shorts that barely showed underneath the tight fitting sweater.

Let's keep hangin' on...
So we won't fall apart...
Let's make love tonight...
Like we never had a broken heart...

Combing her fingers through her hair she watched herself in the mirror without really seeing. What was she going to say to him, could a transition really be that easy?

Don't be afraid to close your eyes...
Pretend I'm someone that you love...
And I won't have to tell you lies...
'Cause it's not you I'm thinkin' of...

She could hear the front door slam shut as her brother left for work in a hurry, which meant she had a little while before she had to face him.

Let's keep hangin' on...
So we won't fall apart...
Let's make love tonight...
Like we never had a broken heart...

Leaving the room, she just couldn't stop feeling like tonight was the night. She couldn't very well speak to Sango, she had already left for her new job, it seemed she was the only one that worked during the day. Well Inuyasha worked during the day, but it's not like they spent time together really. Maybe that would all change tonight, if she could let it.

Tonight we'll just pretend...
We've been in love right from the start...
Let's make love again...
Like we never had a broken heart...

Opening the fridge she grabbed the large container of folgers coffee grounds, moving towards the counter she popped the top off and pulled a filter from the cabinet, placing two scoops in it.

Let's make love again...
Like we never had a broken heart...
Don't be afraid to close your eyes...

Listening to the dripping of the coffee into it's container she closed her eyes and every moment that she spent atop or below him flashed through her mind. Her thoughts were cut off though when she heard a rapping at her front door. Wondering who it could be she approached the door and peered through the peep hole in the door.

He's early...Opening the door she stared at the man who had been causing so much confusion in her life in the last six months. "You're early."

"I finished up at my brother's earlier than I thought, and I knew that you were alone by now, so I figured might as well get things underway." Kagome moved to the side to allow Inuyasha entrance to the otherwise vacant apartment.

It was quiet as Inuyasha sat at the kitchen table watching her pour two cups of coffee, and his eyes followed her as she brought them to the table taking a seat herself. He took the cup and immediatley took a sip, enjoying the taste, he only drank coffee when he was around her. Otherwise he didn't even have any in his own apartment.

"So what's so important that we need to sit down and discuss it?" She was acting like she didn't feel it, the tension that wasn't sexual. He had told her he wanted more from her, yet she had acted like it never happend. His hand darted out and brushed against hers, she didn't recoil.

"When Sango walked in on us that day, I left and went to Kikyou and the entire time I was with her I only saw you. Then I heard that you went home with Bankotsu, and my blood wanted to boil."

Kagome was silent, she didn't know what to say, she could tell him that when she was with Bankotsu she only saw him. What good would that do, what were they doing? Instead she stood to try and leave the room, but was stopped when he grabbed her arm.

"I'm in love with you Kagome, and I know you feel the same way about me. Just try to look me in the eye and tell me differently." She quit struggling at that moment. "Quit running away from me."

Her eyes met his, "I'm not running." She wanted to drop her eyes, but she managed to hold his gaze until he leaned in and kissed her. It was a long passionate kiss that seemed to seal the deal.

Inuyasha broke the kiss and held her face in his hands, "We'll start over, and everyone will know this time, okay?"

Kagome nodded her head and smiled at him before he dipped in for another kiss.
