InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Little Moments ❯ Baby, You're My Forever Girl ( Chapter 41 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
So I decided to take a stab at a drabble series. I have been largely inspired by my favorite authoress, Forthright. I highly suggest you check out her stuff. Its amazing! This particular idea was given to me as I listened to "Little Moments" by Brad Paisley.
Explanation: This series will follow the first year of the newly mated couple of Kagome and Inuyasha. It will be small highlights throughout their relationship, moments when they remind each other why they love one another.
Disclaimer: I claim no ownership over these characters. They belong to the lovely Rumiko Takahashi! I just like to borrow them from time to time.
Updates will be short! Now on with the show!
Warning! Inuyasha is a little OOC, but really, I know he's capable of being sweet sometimes!
Little Moments -Baby, You're My Forever Girl
Inuyasha closed the door quietly behind himself as he simultaneously loosened his tie and lowered his briefcase to the floor. His brow furrowed and his trepidation rose as he took in the scent of his home. The air was thick with the scent of Kagome's tears, and by the smell of it, she'd been crying for some time.
Worried and slightly curious, he moved cautiously in her direction. He found her huddled on the couch, tangled up in her favorite Afghan throw. A box of tissues sat in her lap, a substantial amount of disgusting confetti surrounding her. He nearly sighed in relief when he noticed the cause of her distress. She was watching The Notebook. Again.
With a grin, Inuyasha cleared his throat, effectively gaining her attention and scaring the wits out of her. He eyed her tear-streaked cheeks, bloodshot eyes and swollen, stuffy nose. The woman cried much too often in his opinion. When she was happy, sad, angry...it was difficult to always know the reason.
She stifled a sob and held her hand out to him, clearly wanting to be cuddled. With an exaggerated huff, he acquiesced to her request, gathering her up and into his lap. The movie was nearly over and they watched the last few minutes in relative silence, save for Kagome's quiet whimpers. As the credits began to roll, she leaned her head against his chest.
"Ne Inuyasha, do you think love like that really exists?"
The hanyou scoffed, causing her to look him in the face. "Keh! You doubt it?"
She smiled softly, wiping the last of her tears away. "No, I suppose not. It's just so sad that sickness and death can end something so beautiful. I wish there was a way for it to last."
Inuyasha's features softened, an uncharacteristic gentleness he wasn't usually accustomed to. He turned his face away from her, not able to bear looking into her eyes and say what he needed to say.
"I'd like to think love, when it's real, doesn't ever truly end. You see, to me you're like gravity, the way you so naturally pull me in. If we were to ever part, somehow I'd find my way back to you. A love like ours can transcend lifetimes."
The sudden silence worried the inu, as his wench was never silent. Looking back to his mate, his cheeks darkened when he met her gob-struck expression. The woman acted like he didn't have a sensitive bone in his body!
Kagome snapped her mouth shut as fresh tears gathered in the corners of her eyes. Inuyasha panicked, suddenly self conscious of his little confession. "Dammit woman! Do you ever stop leaking?"
"Inu...I...I don't know what to say."
Back in comfortable territory, the hanyou smirked. "That's a first."
Not rising to his bait, she leaned in to nuzzle his neck. "That very well may be the sweetest thing you have ever said to me."
Becoming uncomfortable again, he turned away. "Ya well, don't get used to it."
Unwilling to let him ruin the moment, Kagome grabbed his chin and forced him to look at her. "I'll always find you too you know. And thank you, I needed this."
Inuyasha grumbled and pulled her close, burying his face in her hair. No, thank you wench. I still don't know what I did to deserve this happiness. I'm one lucky ass hanyou.
He held her closer, almost as if by tightening his grip he could hold her here forever. They might not be able to do that, but he was serious when he spoke earlier. He would always find her, in this life and the next.
A/N: So. Much. Fluff. Hope you guys enjoyed this. I got the idea when I was driving home from the movies today. (Go see The Lucky One, very good!) Inuyasha's little speech was inspired by one of my favorite Avatar episodes, The Avatar and the Firelord, when they speak about the possibility of friendships transcending lifetimes. Let me know what you think! As always, special love and hugs to SplendentGoddess!
