Chapter Sixteen: The Morning After

 

 

Kagome awoke to the sun shining in her eyes. She was warm and comfortable. The warmth was coming from behind her. As she started to sit up, she felt a pair of arms tighten around her form, pulling her back into a well-muscled chest. That's when last night came back to her.

 

Kagome looked behind her, noticing that Inuyasha seemed to still be asleep. She remembered what they'd done, and a blush crept across her cheeks as last nights actions flashed across her memory. She couldn't believe it had finally happened. She had waited so long for Inuyasha to be with her, and she was almost scared it wasn't quite real.

 

Preoccupied with her thoughts, Kagome didn't notice when Inuyasha started to stir behind her. Inuyasha woke to the delicious feeling of warmth. He didn't really know where he was. All he remembered was Kagome getting shot with Kikyo's arrow before he blacked out. That's when he opened his eyes to stare at the back of a female.

 

Inuyasha reared up and away from the female in front of him. He began to panic, wondering what had happened yesterday and who he was with, naked no less. Kagome felt Inuyasha jump away from her, and all her warm feelings from the night before fell away. With a sinking heart, she turned to face the hanyou.

 

Seeing Kagome turn to face him, Inuyasha relaxed slightly before he tensed with worry. What had he done last night? He was afraid he'd done something truly horrible. Almost too afraid to ask, Inuyasha met Kagome's stare.

 

“What happened last night, Kagome?”

 

Hearing those words, Kagome's world started to waiver. She hadn't realized Inuyasha wouldn't remember what he'd done in his demon form. He'd more coherent this time. Now she was afraid of what he would say when he found out. Fidgeting, Kagome started to look anywhere but into Inuyasha's eyes, worried about what she might see.

 

Inuyasha noticed Kagome's averted gaze and began to fear the worst. He could smell the remains of sex on both of them, and he could smell Kagome's anxiety. Quickly moving toward her, Inuyasha knocked Kagome over, spreading her legs before burying his head between her thighs.

 

Kagome gave a startle squeak as she found herself flat on her back with Inuyasha's head buried between her thighs. What in the hell was he doing? Inuyasha sniffed at Kagome's entrance, smelling both their combined scents. He took a tentative lick, making the female below him gasp in surprise. Inuyasha jumped away from Kagome once again as waves of guilt began to wash over him. He had taken her last night.

 

Kagome felt Inuyasha sniffed her before he'd licked her. Unable to hold back, she had gasp with surprised pleasure before the hanyou had jumped away as if burned. Seeing his reaction stopped Kagome cold. What had she done?

 

“I-Inuyasha? Are you alright?”

“I'm sorry Kagome.”

“Sorry for what?”
“I'm sorry for last night. I don't remember much, but I know I took you. I didn't mean to,

and I'm sorry.”

 

Kagome's heart started to break with Inuyasha's words. She didn't want him to be sorry for what they'd done. It had been wonderful. Tears began to well up in her eyes before slowly starting to trickle down her face. She was so ashamed. She had been a fool to think Inuyasha would ever want her if he was in his right mind, and she shouldn't have taken advantage of his crazed state. She'd known she could have stopped him last night if she'd really wanted to.

 

“I'm sorry Inuyasha. I shouldn't have taken advantage of the situation last night. I understand if you hate me now.”

 

Kagome quickly rose to her feet before running back into the cave, leaving a very confused hanyou behind. What did she mean take advantage? Why would he hate her? Inuyasha's sensitive ears picked up the sound of Kagome's crying, his heart cracking in his chest. He'd hurt her feelings without meaning to. He had to sort this out now.

 

Kagome heard and felt Inuyasha enter the cave. She tried to squeeze herself into as small a ball as possible in his fire rat robe, hoping to not draw his attention. She was so embarrassed and heartbroken for what she'd done. She'd never meant to take advantage of him. Suddenly, she felt herself being lifted before being set down in Inuyasha's lap, his arms wrapping around her body, cradling her against him.

 

“Kagome, I think we need to talk. What happened last night?”

“Y-You were in your d-demon state last night when I w-woke up in this cave. I didn't know it was you at first, so I r-ran. You caught me and w-we had a fight until you told me to stop screaming. I f- realized it was you. Then we had sex. I knew I could have s-stopped you if I wanted, but I didn't want to. I'm s-sorry Inuyasha.”

 

Kagome started crying again in earnest while Inuyasha tried to absorb what she'd told him. She didn't want me to stop? That means she consented. Buy why? Kagome knew Inuyasha must hate her now. She'd let last night happen when she knew he was chaotic in his demon state. How could she have been so stupid? She felt Inuyasha's arms tighten ever so slightly before he asked the question she dreaded most.

 

“Why did consent last night, Kagome?”

 

Kagome flinched. She didn't want to tell him the truth, but she knew her future was riding on it. Easing slightly back to look him in the eyes, she searched his face for any hint as to what he was feeling. All she saw was a blank mask. He was going to hide himself until she gave him an answer. Taking a deep breath, she whispered, “Because I love you Inuyasha.”

 

Inuyasha stared at the woman in front of him, afraid he had heard her wrong. She'd just told him she loved him. He was almost afraid this was a dream. When she started to try and get up from his lap, he tightened his hold on her waist, burying his head against her neck. He softly licked the mark he'd made, hearing her gasp in pleasure. Finally he brought his head up, raising Kagome's chin with his fingers to look her in the eyes.

 

“I love you, too, Kagome.”

 

Kagome started to fear she'd done the wrong thing when Inuyasha didn't say anything. Thinking he'd rejected her, she moved to get up, but his arms tightened around her before he buried his head in her neck, right where he'd marked her. He gave it a lick, causing a wave of pleasure to course through her body. She tried to keep her head down as he'd lifted his back up, but his hand on her chin prevented it. Then he uttered the words she never thought she'd hear.

 

Kagome's heart leapt with joy, and she threw her arms around Inuyasha's neck, holding him close. She was so happy. Her greatest and most secret dream had come true, and she was afraid she'd wake up any moment. All thoughts vanished, though, when his mouth descended on hers, a kiss of the utmost tenderness. It was filled with love, happiness, and everything else to couple felt for one another. Slowly, Inuyasha lowered her to the floor, breaking the kiss and looking into his mate's eyes.

 

“I think it's time for me to get a taste of what happened last night. And this time I plan to remember everything that happens.”
