Chapter 3 – Forever For Tonight
This chapter is song-fic. “Forever For Tonight” is performed by Blessid Union of Souls
Inuyasha slowly trailed his torturous kisses down Kagome’s pale neck, and on the forth trip he didn’t stop when he reached the barrier of her clothing. His hand had been slowly working loose the fasteners of her blouse, determined to leave the article of clothing intact, and he was finally rewarded when the material heeded his request to part, so that he could access Kagome’s collar bone and chest.
The sixteen-year-old had come up with plenty to keep her own hands occupied, using one to tug loose the ties holding closed Inuyasha’s suikan, the other applying tender loving care to the base of his sensitive ears. He’d never liked her touching them before, but she’d quickly realized the reason behind it was simply because they were so sensitive. She needed to be very careful, not about to violate the trust he placed in her with such a simple, yet overwhelming gesture of letting her pet his ears in that moment without complaint. She would be gentle. Rough handling of the furry appendages could hurt him easily, she was sure, but what she was currently doing to them most certainly did not hurt. Inuyasha moaned softly in pleasure as he leaned his head into her touch.
Feeling his fire-rat robe come undone, he took a moment to pull himself back and shrug the garment free from his person. Kagome followed suit, allowing her opened blouse to slip from her shoulders and down her arms. He gazed down at her then, and smiled. In her haste to catch him when she’d fled the kitchen, she’d never put her shoes back on, but her legs were still half covered by those giant stockings she called socks. Her skirt had ridden up her thighs, and was resting dangerously high. So much so in fact, that when he maneuvered himself to pull the stockings free from her feet, he could quite plainly see that the female fundoshi she wore was white, matching the support thing that was currently still hiding her breasts.
Taking a moment to take it all in, he smiled down at her again, his heart warming when he saw her smiling up at him in return. This was how it should be, how it always should be. For right in that moment, everything was perfect, he thought, as he tugged loose his kosode.
Could I be with you alone?
I’m not sure where this will go.
Cause we don’t have the time we need,
Just enough to make us bleed.
‘Cause I’ll be leaving soon.
It’s hard to say when I’ll return,
And I don’t want to lead you on.
So if you feel the need,
Close your eyes and share this dream.
It will be eternity.
Kagome gasped in surprise when she glanced up to see a topless Inuyasha hovering over her, his hair fanning down around his face, blocking the outside world like a silver curtain. He was wearing the rosary, which was obviously to be expected, but he was also wearing the locket she’d given him a few months back. He’d kept it with him all this time?
Arching herself into his touch, she hungrily met the passion of his kisses, while she reached behind herself with one hand, unhooking her bra, before lowering herself back down against the bed. At first, Inuyasha failed to break away from the kiss, but when he finally released his claim of her, his eyes widened in delight to see the loosened way in which the straps of that undergarment rested upon her shoulders. Realizing what she’d done, he again trailed kisses down her throat, onto her collar bone and chest, this time not stopping when he reached the layer of cloth, but instead, taking said layer of cloth in his teeth, gently pulling it free.
Kagome moaned in pleasure as she felt the warm air of his breath tease the sensitive flesh of her breasts. Feeling him gently take one into his mouth, while massaging the other with his hand, Kagome suddenly felt a new sensation beginning to build itself within her. Liquid heat was quickly pooling to her lower region, an arousal she was sure he could smell when he suddenly growled low in his throat, as he devoured her with greater passion. She never wanted this to end.
Forever for tonight,
I will be there,
To hold you through the night.
Forever for tonight,
I will love you.
Forever for tonight…
Forever for tonight.
Inuyasha gasped as he felt Kagome rake her nails down his back, a sensation he found surprisingly pleasurable, though he knew he didn’t dare try to mimic it with how sharp his claws were. Swirling her hardened nipple in his mouth, and taking it cautiously between his teeth, he was again hit in the face with another wave of her arousal. It was surprisingly strong. Her body seemed to literally be calling out for him to take her.
Absently, he wondered if losing her innocence would rid Kagome of her miko abilities, not that he supposed it mattered much any more. But he hated the thought of tainting her purity with his filth. Apparently sensing his sudden apprehension, Kagome maneuvered herself until she took a sensitive ear into her mouth. Inuyasha gasped again, and immediately started fumbling with the fastener of her skirt. She smirked.
Reaching down, Kagome unzipped her skirt for him, an act for which his eyes silently said ‘Thank you’ as he slid the material down her legs and onto the floor. It was then Kagome’s turn again, as she reached for the knots holding closed his hakama, giving them a tug. While Kagome worked with the overlaying knots at his waist, Inuyasha reached down with a single hand, pulling free the small ties binding his pant legs to his ankles. When Kagome had the himo fully loosened, Inuyasha stepped off of the bed, and allowed his hakama to drop to his feet. Climbing back on the bed then, the two pressed their nearly naked bodies together in passion, as he once again trailed kisses down her neck. Settling himself between her legs, he rubbed the stiffness within his fundoshi against her clothed opening, the sensation sending shivers down both of their spines.
It wasn’t long though, before Inuyasha decided he no longer wanted his view of her restricted in any way. Once again maneuvering himself towards the foot of the bed, he effortlessly slid her panties down her legs, tossing them carelessly onto the floor. Standing before her, he took a moment to take in the lovely sight before him.
Gazing back up at his loving expression, if there was one thing Kagome loved about traditional Japanese clothing, it was hands down the thong-like nature of the fundoshi. Not even caring that she was fully exposed to him, she stared back with just as much passion in her eyes. His legs were perfectly sculpted from years of running, and his ass, which she could clearly see reflected back to her in the mirror behind him, was just begging to be squeezed. She nearly giggled at her sudden hentai thoughts. What had come over her?
“What’s so funny?” he asked in a playful manner, simply happy that she was in a good mood.
Pointing to the mirror behind him, he turned his head, and noticing what she had obviously been staring at, he smirked, and looking back at her, he asked, “You like?”
Kagome merely nodded, as she reached up to start unwrapping her present. Their eyes locked, unspoken words of love reflecting in their gazes towards one another.
As I look into your eyes,
Feelings much too strong for us not to try,
And if by chance we lose this fight,
Darling we still have tonight.
So when I’m far away,
I will always be with you.
You will never be alone.
So if you feel the need,
Take my hand and share this night.
It will be eternity.
Kagome stared with the same wonder in which he was gazing at her. Each naked and unafraid, he once again lowered himself to smooth his kisses over her flesh, his excitement resting between her thighs. Kagome ran her hands all along his body, up and down, feeling the inhuman strength of his muscles, the firmness yet softness of his behind. She had been given plenty of time to take him all in before he lowered himself from her sight, and in her eyes, he was beautiful. How could anyone call such a godlike creature filthy or lowly?
Inuyasha had to lower himself back down and distract himself by once again trailing his tongue over her flesh, otherwise he would have simply stared at her in amazement all night. The look of love reflected in her eyes did not go unnoticed, nor did he fail to recall hearing her tell him those very words. He honestly didn’t think he could bring himself to say them to her in return, but he would make sure he showed her.
She was on fire, his tongue leaving a scorching trail wherever it went. She gasped as he once again brought her nipples one by one into his mouth, torturing them in slow soothing circles. He lowered himself even further down her body, gingerly dipping his tongue into her navel, indulging in the gasps and moans she was producing as a result. He lowered himself further still, and smirked when he felt her body stiffen below him. He had succeeded in surprising her.
Kagome was in heaven, pure and simple. The feel of his tongue trailing down her body ignited every inch of her flesh. Then something quite unexpected yet immensely pleasurable happened. At first she wanted to feel embarrassed; he was sniffing her…down there. But when she felt him flick out his tongue, and brush it experimentally against her, she could not contain the gasp of pleasure that escaped her lips. Slowly and sensually, he pleasured her with his tongue. He might not have ever done it before, but that did not mean he had no knowledge on the subject. He was delighted to discover that she tasted as good as she smelled. He could do this forever.
Forever for tonight,
I will be there,
To hold you through the night.
Forever for tonight,
I will love you.
Forever for tonight…
Forever for tonight.
She was literally writhing in pleasure, her hips moving of their own accord, ensuring his actions did not cease. He gently placed his hands upon her hips to still her movements, but her muscle spasms merely traveled further up her body as a result, as she arched her back, thrusting her chest into the air. She couldn’t believe how wondrous this felt. Sure, she had pleasured herself before, but what Inuyasha was doing was so incredibly different, so incredibly intense, that it wasn’t long at all before she felt her climax approach. Shortly after he’d begun this attention, she had started moaning out commands like ‘faster’ or ‘harder’, of which he had instantly obeyed, but now, as Kagome felt that coil begin to wind tighter and tighter within her body, she began adding her lover’s name to her repertoire.
Inuyasha knew Kagome was close when he heard her begin to moan out his name. His name leaving her lips in such a fashion caused his already straining excitement to stiffen even more. He wanted to be inside of her so badly, but he would wait until after he knew that she had been fulfilled. Maneuvering his right hand, he slowly and carefully inserted a single clawed finger within her. It was his desire to take her with as little pain as possible. Kagome felt the intrusion of his finger, and it only added to her enjoyment. She briefly thought about his claws but knew that he would be careful and so she wasn’t worried. Keep up his oral ministration, he pumped his finger a few times before delicately inserting a second and then a third, preparing her for what was soon to follow.
Just when Kagome thought it couldn’t get any better, she was proven wrong yet again. The added stimulation was all it took to send her toppling over the edge, and she was so engrossed in her explosion that she failed to notice Inuyasha’s claws deliberately tearing away the inner barrier of her maidenhead. She’d cried out his name, but the scream had been one of pure ecstasy, and though the sheer volume of it had been cause for Inuyasha to lower his ears, he had never felt more honored than in that moment.
See I’ve been broken down,
By empty promises,
Like a sky without a star…
And I’ve been having doubts,
That I could feel again,
But I believe that I’m in love.
Slowly, cautiously, Inuyasha crawled up her body, and placed himself at her entrance.
Forever for tonight,
I will be there,
To hold you through the night.
Forever for tonight,
I will love you.
Forever for tonight…
Forever for tonight.
He entered her slowly, steadily, her pain reduced dramatically by his forethought to remove her hymen during orgasm. Still lingering in the afterglow of her climax, Kagome felt nothing but continued pleasure as Inuyasha began to move within her. In that moment, in that one moment in time, they were one, one body and one soul. Kagome was so hot, so tight, and so wet, that Inuyasha could not help but to shudder in pleasure as he slowly sheathed himself within her. Buried within her to the hilt, he knew that he needn’t remain still, for he’d caused her no pain, but remain still he did nonetheless, simply relishing in the realization of their current situation. Permitting no thoughts of tomorrow to enter his mind, he slowly began to retract himself from her core, merely to plunge himself back within her once again. It wasn’t long at all before they each found a rhythm that settled nicely with their bodies, the sounds of flesh slapping flesh permeating the air as the two moaned and grunted their pleasure.
Kagome was in heaven, she was sure, as she felt Inuyasha begin to move above her. Never in her wildest dreams could she have fathomed the sensations now washing through her body. It wasn’t long before she wrapped her legs up and around his backside, urging him to go even deeper. He braced her shoulders as he moved above her with fervor, and she once again found her nails dragging down his back, carving her claim into his flesh. She cried out in surprised passion when Inuyasha grabbed her legs and hooked them over his shoulders, raising himself up on outstretched arms. He smirked down at her as her facial expression gave away her pleasure, not that he wasn’t also revealing to her steady gaze every drop of passion he was feeling every time he gasped or hissed, his eyes pinching shut for a moment before opening once again to meet her gaze. Gripping her waist with one hand, he quickly reached down between them with the other, wishing to bring her to completion once more before allowing himself to follow after her. Kagome could do nothing but hold on for the ride as she felt the coil within herself quickly wind back up, preparing for the imminent explosion.
“Inuyashaaaaaaa!” she cried, as the color bled from her vision, her mind’s eye seeing nothing but flashes of white as fireworks exploded within her.
Feeling her body clamp around him so tightly was more than he could take, as the hanyou quickly followed suit, the sheer force of his orgasm causing him to thrash his head backward, as a piercing howl ripped from his throat. Collapsing upon her then, he permitted her legs to fall, as she rested below him in a daze. Panting, and dripping with sweat, Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes, to find hers staring lovingly back up at him.
Four years later…
“Then what happened?” Izayoi asked with all the enthusiasm of a child who hadn’t already heard the same story at least fifty times.
“Then Daddy agreed to stay the night with Mama after dinner, leaving for his time in the morning.” Kagome explained in the G-rated version of what had just washed through her memory.
“Did Daddy hold Mama as she slept?” the child asked.
Smiling, Kagome answered, “Yes, he did. He held me all night.”
“But he didn’t say g’bye, how come?” Izayoi asked, skipping ahead because she had in fact heard this story so many times before.
Kagome fought back the tears she felt stinging the back of her eyes at the memory. When she had woken the following morning, Inuyasha had already been gone. Perhaps he had known that he wouldn’t have been able to face her tears, since she knew she wouldn’t have been able to stop them from falling. Perhaps the proper words for goodbye had simply escaped him, and he hadn’t known what to say. Perhaps he had been worried that if he’d waited until she was awake, gazing into his eyes with her own pools of velvet, that he’d lose his nerve and not leave her at all.
Rolling the possibilities around in her head for what seemed like the millionth time, Kagome absently fingered the beads around her neck, the beads she always wore. They’d spoken no words to one another after they’d climaxed together, but as he’d gazed down at her lovingly, she’d surprised him by reaching up and slipping the rosary off from around his neck. Before he could question her, she had slipped them down around her own neck, and in a gesture to remind him that he still had something of hers, she reached up and fingered the locket that still hung from around his own neck, pressing it up against his heart. He’d smiled down at her then, and nodded his understanding, as he fingered the beads around her neck in a very similar fashion to the way she was fondling them now.
“Daddy did say goodbye.” she said at last, reminding her daughter of the most important part of the story…at least in Kagome’s opinion.
All the hours of passion and kissing and holding didn’t mean nearly as much to her as this one single gesture, which she was sure he had known would be the case when he’d done it. Taking her daughter’s hand, Kagome led Izayoi over toward the window, lifting her up so that she could see. There, carved deeply into the wood of her windowsill, rested the old-world script for “Aishiteru.”
````````````````````
Kagome always got a little down whenever she relived her final moments with Izayoi’s father, though she tried her best to put on a bright smile the next day at work. She was truly lucky to have landed this job, and she knew she owed it all to Hojo, otherwise, she’d have likely wound up flipping burgers at WacDonald’s or something. So when she heard the museum supervisor come up behind her, addressing “Higurashi” she made sure her smile was firmly in place before turning around to greet him.
“Hi Hojo.” she greeted sweetly, attempting not to roll her eyes at the sight of the gift box he held under his arm.
“I’ve put together some special tea leaves from my grandfather’s garden that will help to insure that with your hectic schedule, you don’t deplete your body of any essential vitamins.” he explained.
That’s what ‘vitamins’ are for… “Thanks.” she said while smiling sweetly. Too sweetly.
“You’re welcome. Listen, uh…Higurashi…I was wondering-”
“Hojo, you’re really sweet, honestly, but I’m sorry…I’m just not interested in dating anyone. It’s nothing against you personally, but please respect my wishes.”
It was time to put an end to this once and for all. No more ‘maybe later’s’.
His shoulders slumped in recognizable defeat, as he attempted to argue, “You’re just too kind and sweet to have to live the life of a single mother. I know I’m not the one you love…but I’d like to be there for you…and for Izayoi. He’s never coming back.”
Her heart stung at his words, though she knew it was the truth.
“There’s certain…things…you just don’t know, Hojo, and while I know you mean well, I’m perfectly all right with the way things are. Besides, I’m not alone, I have my family.”
“But you put up this happy façade around your family, I’m sure. I know, I’ve seen it. Don’t think I don’t know that that smile you wear for me is fake, too.” he said softly, surprising her. “Everyone needs someone to talk to, and I don’t think you’ve confided in anyone. I can see the tears that live behind your eyes.” At his words, some of those very tears threatened to rise to the surface. “When will you let me in, Kagome?” he asked in merely a whisper, surprising her even more by his use of her given name.
“I’m sorry, Shin, but I can’t.” she whispered in return, wiping away the single tear that had managed to fall.

A/N:
Takahashi never reveals Hojo’s given name, so I just picked something that seemed fitting. Shin means ‘real, true’ and if there’s one thing Hojo always was, it was genuine.

It wasn’t long at all before they each found a rhythm that settled nicely with their bodies, the sounds of flesh slapping flesh permeating the air as the two moaned and grunted their pleasure.
Kagome was in heaven, she was sure, as she felt Inuyasha begin to move above her. Never in her wildest dreams could she have fathomed the sensations now washing through her body. It wasn’t long before she wrapped her legs up and around his backside, urging him to go even deeper. He braced her shoulders as he moved above her with fervor, and she once again found her nails dragging down his back, carving her claim into his flesh. She cried out in surprised passion when Inuyasha grabbed her legs and hooked them over his shoulders, raising himself up on outstretched arms. He smirked down at her as her facial expression gave away her pleasure, not that he wasn’t also revealing to her steady gaze every drop of passion he was feeling every time he gasped or hissed, his eyes pinching shut for a moment before opening once again to meet her gaze. Gripping her waist with one hand, he quickly reached down between them with the other, wishing to bring her to completion once more before allowing himself to follow after her. Kagome could do nothing but hold on for the ride as she felt the coil within herself quickly wind back up, preparing for the imminent explosion.
“Inuyashaaaaaaa!” she cried, as the color bled from her vision, her mind’s eye seeing nothing but flashes of white as fireworks exploded within her.
Feeling her body clamp around him so tightly was more than he could take, as the hanyou quickly followed suit, the sheer force of his orgasm causing him to thrash his head backward, as a piercing howl ripped from his throat. Collapsing upon her then, he permitted her legs to fall, as she rested below him in a daze. Panting, and dripping with sweat, Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes, to find hers staring lovingly back up at him.
Four years later…
“Then what happened?” Izayoi asked with all the enthusiasm of a child who hadn’t already heard the same story at least fifty times.
“Then Daddy agreed to stay the night with Mama after dinner, leaving for his time in the morning.” Kagome explained in the G-rated version of what had just washed through her memory.
“Did Daddy hold Mama as she slept?” the child asked.
Smiling, Kagome answered, “Yes, he did. He held me all night.”
“But he didn’t say g’bye, how come?” Izayoi asked, skipping ahead because she had in fact heard this story so many times before.
Kagome fought back the tears she felt stinging the back of her eyes at the memory. When she had woken the following morning, Inuyasha had already been gone. Perhaps he had known that he wouldn’t have been able to face her tears, since she knew she wouldn’t have been able to stop them from falling. Perhaps the proper words for goodbye had simply escaped him, and he hadn’t known what to say. Perhaps he had been worried that if he’d waited until she was awake, gazing into his eyes with her own pools of velvet, that he’d lose his nerve and not leave her at all.
Rolling the possibilities around in her head for what seemed like the millionth time, Kagome absently fingered the beads around her neck, the beads she always wore. They’d spoken no words to one another after they’d climaxed together, but as he’d gazed down at her lovingly, she’d surprised him by reaching up and slipping the rosary off from around his neck. Before he could question her, she had slipped them down around her own neck, and in a gesture to remind him that he still had something of hers, she reached up and fingered the locket that still hung from around his own neck, pressing it up against his heart. He’d smiled down at her then, and nodded his understanding, as he fingered the beads around her neck in a very similar fashion to the way she was fondling them now.
“Daddy did say goodbye.” she said at last, reminding her daughter of the most important part of the story…at least in Kagome’s opinion.
All the hours of passion and kissing and holding didn’t mean nearly as much to her as this one single gesture, which she was sure he had known would be the case when he’d done it. Taking her daughter’s hand, Kagome led Izayoi over toward the window, lifting her up so that she could see. There, carved deeply into the wood of her windowsill, rested the old-world script for “Aishiteru.”

Kagome always got a little down whenever she relived her final moments with Izayoi’s father, though she tried her best to put on a bright smile the next day at work. She was truly lucky to have landed this job, and she knew she owed it all to Hojo, otherwise, she’d have likely wound up flipping burgers at WacDonald’s or something. So when she heard the museum supervisor come up behind her, addressing “Higurashi” she made sure her smile was firmly in place before turning around to greet him.
“Hi Hojo.” she greeted sweetly, attempting not to roll her eyes at the sight of the gift box he held under his arm.
“I’ve put together some special tea leaves from my grandfather’s garden that will help to insure that with your hectic schedule, you don’t deplete your body of any essential vitamins.” he explained.
That’s what ‘vitamins’ are for… “Thanks.” she said while smiling sweetly. Too sweetly.
“You’re welcome. Listen, uh…Higurashi…I was wondering-”
“Hojo, you’re really sweet, honestly, but I’m sorry…I’m just not interested in dating anyone. It’s nothing against you personally, but please respect my wishes.”
It was time to put an end to this once and for all. No more ‘maybe later’s’.
His shoulders slumped in recognizable defeat, as he attempted to argue, “You’re just too kind and sweet to have to live the life of a single mother. I know I’m not the one you love…but I’d like to be there for you…and for Izayoi. He’s never coming back.”
Her heart stung at his words, though she knew it was the truth.
“There’s certain…things…you just don’t know, Hojo, and while I know you mean well, I’m perfectly all right with the way things are. Besides, I’m not alone, I have my family.”
“But you put up this happy façade around your family, I’m sure. I know, I’ve seen it. Don’t think I don’t know that that smile you wear for me is fake, too.” he said softly, surprising her. “Everyone needs someone to talk to, and I don’t think you’ve confided in anyone. I can see the tears that live behind your eyes.” At his words, some of those very tears threatened to rise to the surface. “When will you let me in, Kagome?” he asked in merely a whisper, surprising her even more by his use of her given name.
“I’m sorry, Shin, but I can’t.” she whispered in return, wiping away the single tear that had managed to fall.

A/N:
Takahashi never reveals Hojo’s given name, so I just picked something that seemed fitting. Shin means ‘real, true’ and if there’s one thing Hojo always was, it was genuine.
