Dressing the Part

Epilogue

A Light in the Dark

Today sucked. He had just come home. It had been his first major league game. He was tired physically and mentally. All he wanted to do was sleep through tomorrow. He could do it too. Tomorrow was an off day. He trudged up the stairs of his newly purchased house.

It had been three years since graduation. He and Kagome had been together ever since, but because of his schedule, which had been hectic even before now because he had been in AAA, and her movie's scheduling, they hadn't seen each other in two months.

Sure there were phone calls and stuff, but a phone could not replace her smell, her touch. No. It couldn't even compare. He dropped his stuff off downstairs and walked up to the bathroom, not even going to his room first.

He turned the faucet and entered the steamy stream of hot water. It felt so good running down his aching muscles as the water relieved some of the tension and washed the compounded dirt that had covered him from the excessive amount of diving and sliding over the course of the game.

All his dreams were starting to come true. All he needed was Kagome. He had planned on asking her to marry him next week when she would get back from shooting.

Their relationship, in three years, had not turned completely sexual yet. They had made out several times, and he had pleasured her orally, but there was no actual intercourse between them. She had even tried to orally please him, but every time she was about to, she blushed and lost her nerve.

She felt it was important to wait. She had admitted that she loved him numerous times and he wanted her, but he was respectful of what she wanted, despite his own need. For some reason, she wasn't ready. He had to be okay with that or lose her.

After he turned off the water, he wrapped a towel around his waist and entered his bedroom only to be shocked out of his skull. The room was softly lit with dozens of lit scentless candles around the room. Music softly filtered throughout the room. And, surrounded by flower petals, on his bed was Kagome.

She was in a short, navy blue nightgown that exposed a fair amount of cleavage and a lot of her satiny legs. His mouth water at how she was situated. She was leaning back on her hands behind her. She sat up and gestured him to come closer.

He was about to lose it. If he stayed around her like this any longer, he would have to fulfill his desires. He had to leave he could not do it.

"Inuyasha."

She had called his name as he was turning away. He faced her.

"Kagome." He groaned. "You can't do this to me. I have to go or I'm gonna do something I'll regret."

"Wait. I want you to."

"What?"

"I'm ready."

"But I thought you-"

"I did."

"But..." he prompted angrily. Had he waited all this time for nothing?

She got off the bed and approached him. "But..." She stared at her fingers as she traced patterns slowly into his bare chest. "...I think we've waited long enough. And..." She blushed profusely and faced the ground.

"And..." he continued.

"...I can't stand it anymore! I need you inside me," she yelled.

He closed his eyes, faced upward, and prayed to whoever was listening that this wasn't just a dream. When he determined it, in fact, was not, he devoured her mouth in hungry, yet sensual kisses. He thanked God as the progressed toward the bed, never separating their lips.

They joined together that night and found a sense of completion neither had ever felt before.

They had screamed, together, in ecstasy.

It had just felt so right. As they lay there in the afterglow, naked and stilled huddled together, Inuyasha couldn't imagine not having her by his side forever.

Kagome loved the feel of him running fingers through her hair. She felt she belonged there in his arms. She felt as if he completed her.

"Happy birthday, Baby."

He smirked at her and kissed her. "I still can't believe you played hookie from the set just to see me."

"Why wouldn't I?" she asked with a touch of anger in her voice. "Inuyasha, you are far more important to me than any movie. Do you understand that?"

When he began to pull away from her, she watched him questioningly. He went to his dresser, fully unclothed in all his glory. He opened the drawer and grabbed the ring box. He traced a quick finger over a pair of sunglasses he'd never forget and closed the drawer.

She sat up. The covers pooled around her waist, exposing her breasts. She felt puzzled as he came back.

He dropped to one knee, opened the box, and asked the question. "Kagome Hime Higurashi, will you make me the happiest man in the world by becoming my bride?" He remained there, wainting anxiously for her answer.

"Of course you idiot!" She lunged at him, kissing him as tears leaked from her eyes.

RING! RING!

RING! RING!

"Inuyasha, this is The Tokyo World News Publication. We'd like to ask how you feel regarding the events of today."

Inuyasha didn't care if they meant how he dove for three catches and went 2 for 3 against one of the best pitchers in the league in his first game. But, despite how tired he had previously felt, he now felt great.

"Let me put it this way." He turned and looked directly at Kagome. "Today was the best day of my life."

THE END
