Homecoming



“I....” InuYasha said, looking deeply into Kagome’s eyes.  The look he found there did not make him happy.  “You...”

Kagome’s eyes glistened in the evening light, reflecting the lamp.  “I thought I was ready for this.  I really did.”

He nodded, and leaned over to kiss her on the forehead.  “If I had known...”

“You would have still needed to go,” she said.  Her hand reached up and brushed his cheek, sliding into his hair.  “That youkai...”

“I didn’t know it was going to take so long,” he said, wrapping his arms under her shoulders.

“I know,” she replied.  She gave him a smile, that although bright, didn’t quite meet her eyes, and the anxiety and longing in her scent was driving him crazy.  Her lips, though, brushed up against his, soft and beckoning.

His arms tightened around her, and hers clung to him like he was her life raft, afraid to let go.  Sensing her need, he kissed her fiercely, letting his weight rest across her torso, his legs settle between hers.  They broke for air, and he could see the first thaw in her eyes.

“I didn’t think,” he said.  “I thought I’d be the one with nightmares.”

“Waiting and not knowing...” she kissed him on the chin.  “Sometimes it’s the hardest.”

“I...” he said again, looking down at her with all the love he could put in his eyes, his face, not nearly as much as he felt.”

“Don’t talk.  Just show me you’re here.” she said.

“I’m here.  We’re both home,” he said, giving her a little smile, almost, but not quite his usual cocky smirk.

Kissing her deeply once again, he took his time proving just how there he really was.
