Drabbles: Inuyasha x Kagome
I do not own Inuyasha or Co.
-Roses-< br>

I parked my car and slowly drug myself out of it. I admit it, it bothers me he hadn’t called all day. I figured he would have apologized by now, but what do I know? He must really think I would cheat on him. I slammed the door and walked the steps to the entrance. It was only seven thirty and all I wanted to do was crawl in a hot bath before sliding under the cool sheets.

I made it to the fourth floor, stepping off the elevator I noticed something red beneath my door.

What in the hell?

I put the key in after hesitating for a few minutes. I was afraid of what may be on the other side, but I pushed the door open anyway.

“Holy crap---“ A beautiful aroma filled my nose, roses. They were everywhere.

I bent down to place my bags on the floor, picking up a few petals on my way back up. I gave a light sniff. Oh how wonderful it smelled. A smile graced my lips, Inuyasha.

Was he here? I searched the apartment, but he was nowhere to be found. I sighed and made my way to the kitchen, stepping over a path of petals to my answering machine.

1 new message.

The voice that filled the empty room made my heart skip a beat.

“Kagome---“ he cleared his throat. “I am not good with apologies, but Sango gave me a little advice. If you’re hearing this, I suppose you already seen the roses. I know they are one of your favorite flowers.” He sighed. “You said something about them being a romantic flower, or some shit like that.” He stopped. “Damn, sorry, forget I said that.”

I smiled at his awful way with words.

“Anyways, I want you to look at the vase beside you. I gave you twelve dozen roses, but this one vase is special. I will love you until every last rose in this vase dies.”

He spoke as if he was standing beside me holding the vase himself. He made no sense though. A frown crossed my face.

No rose lasts forever.

“Take a close look Kagome.” He continued.

I did look closely, but it wasn’t until I ran my fingers over the petals that I realized exactly what he meant.

One artificial rose in the center. Clever.

“I will be under the Goshinboku at eight. That gives you enough time to get here.” My schedule he knew too well, however I was behind schedule tonight. “I love you.” And a clicked ended the message.

I picked up my purse and made a mad dash for my car.
Inuyasha stood patiently at the base of the sacred tree. He was nervous. It was past eight and she wasn’t here yet. “She gets off at seven. Where in the hell is she?” He growled. “Sango made it perfectly clear that roses would be a perfect apology.” Especially the fake rose he planted in one of the vases.

He had all but given up on this cheesy idea Sango had convinced him would work, and turned to leave. Footsteps made him snap his head up as Kagome came bounding up the shrine steps at full speed. She stopped once she reached the top.

“Inu—yasha.” She barely managed to say. Her breath in ragged gasps. “Too man---y damn--- ste---ps.” She gasped as she tried to compose herself.

He stood there, a smile slowly forming on his handsome face. The moon shining brightly over them as the wind brushed past the two and through the branches of the tree. She stepped towards him, clutching her coat closer to her frame, and once she finally had her breath back she spoke.

“Thank you.”

He nodded. “So, do you forgive me?”

She moved closer and soon the gap was only three steps between them. “No.”

His eyes widened, a growl escaped his lips. “What?”

She sighed. “You never actually apologized.”

“I did too! Did you not see all those damn roses? It practically killed me bringing them in for you!” His nose still ached from all the sneezing.

“You stupid man.” Her hand firmly gripping her coat. “You never said I’m sorry.”

“That’s what you want to hear?” He asked softly.

She nodded. “Sincerely please.”

He snarled a bit, but it faded and he turned his head. “I’m sorry.”

She tilted his chin to look him in the eyes. “Now, tell me.”

“I’m sorry.” His golden orbs shone brightly and she knew he meant it.

“You are the only one for me, but since me saying that never seems to get through to you, we will continue to argue and---“ she paused. “ make up.” The last part was said seductively.

A grin crossed his features before he pulled her flush against his chest. “When do we get to that part?” He asked nuzzling her neck.

“Your place or mine?” She moaned as his tongue flicked over a sensitive spot on her neck.

“Mine.” Before she could speak again, he crushed his lips against hers with a passion only meant for her.

She accepted his request to explore her moist cavern with his tongue. She entangled one hand in his air and the other gripped the nape of his neck, as sure he wouldn’t pull away too soon. She groaned when he did finally pull back for air.

“If we don’t get to my place soon, I’ll have to take you right here against this tree with your grandparents’ right inside that house.”

Her eyes widened. “Let’s go.” She ran for her car as they both fled to Inuyasha’s apartment downtown.

He had asked her to move in with him after she graduated college, but she felt they should wait. She had just gotten out on her own and she wanted to feel independent. Her whole life she lived with her parent’s, but after she had graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in both counseling and psychology, she landed an amazing  job as a marriage and family counselor. She could finally afford her own place, much to Inuyasha’s disapproval.

She told him tough luck, He would have to put his big boy panties on and deal with it, and he did.
Upon arrival at Inuyasha’s, we barely made it through the front door before I was hoisted up with my legs wrapped around his waist. He closed the door and pressed me firmly against the hard wood. He took a moment to pull up for air and rip my coat and shirt clean from my body. I gasped as he attached to my neck, his nipping softly at my smooth skin. I moaned against him. I could feel the heat rising in my body.

“Inuyasha.” His name rolled off my tongue in a whisper. “Please.”

He growled and moved towards the bedroom. He looked me in the eyes. “I love you, Kagome.” He stopped. “I am in love with you.”

My heart flipped inside my chest. “I love you too, Inuya---”

The rest was smothered beneath a heated kiss. He continued to the bedroom and closed the door with a soft kick and a click.
