InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Rock This ❯ Sleeping It Off ( Chapter 7 )

* Don't own them, too bad so sad for me. *

 

* Dedicated to Silveraliora for the much needed kick in the arse to get this chappie finished. Thank you, you make me smile. *

 

 

 

 

Inuyasha carefully opened the door to the bathroom. A quick shower had made him feel cleaner, but had taken all of his strength. He was exhausted and was glad Kagome was stubborn enough to make him stay. Dressed in the borrowed pants, he hesitatingly made his way across the large room until he was at her bed again. What he saw surprised him. Kagome had changed and cleaned herself up in the sink the best she could. She was currently passed out in the bed itself, after apparently taking away the bloody sheets, towels, and blankets. He could smell the clean scent of the fresh linens on her bed as they mixed in with her own unique smell.

 

`Great…' He thought groaning and smacking himself on the forehead. `Now what?'

 

`Now you get into bed with her baka.' His demon side yelled at him.

 

`But that wouldn't be right would it?' His human side asked back.

 

His hanyou side never got to respond as Kagome stretched out like a cat, slightly moaning as she rolled onto her side. Her shirt rode up a bit, revealing a sliver of her tone stomach and before he could even blink, his traitorous legs made the decision for him. He found himself in her bed next to her almost instantly.

 

“Great. Just frigging great.” He muttered aloud. He moved to get out of the bed before she woke up and killed him. They had just met. Granted it wasn't exactly a conventional meeting but still… He was basically a stranger and he was now in her bed, with her in it. This could only end one way. His testicles were not going to be happy. `Stupid legs and their stupid ideas…'

 

He started to roll towards the edge of her giant bed but apparently all his muttering and moving had made her restless as well. She moved closer to him and threw her arm around his waist before he was able to disentangle himself from the bedding he had somehow gotten under.

 

The second she touched his skin he froze. Was she awake? He slowly turned his head to face her. Her eyes were closed and her face slack in sleep. “Beautiful,” He said turning back towards her. He raised his arm and brushed a stray strand of hair from her face before running the pad of his thumb down her cheekbone and across her jaw line. If he was going to get his ass kicked for this, he might as well make it somewhat worth his while. His thoughts drifted back to the things that happened tonight. She was, to say the least, an amazing woman. Gorgeous, smart, feisty, delicious smell…

 

He smiled imperceptibly as his eyes drifted shut. He could deal with all of this in the morning. Right now he was going to enjoy his last moments on earth, cause once Kagome woke up to find him cuddled in bed with her, she was going to kill him.

Kagome was having a great dream. In it she was warm and cocooned in a nest of comfort and safety. She hadn't slept this well in years. Reluctantly her eyes drifted open when she felt the sun shining through her windows. She stretched then noticed that there was a weight across her stomach. Instantly stiffening she raised the covers to find an arm wrapped around her waist.

 

Swallowing audibly she traced the arm back to its owner. Golden skin, marred by tiny abrasions, taunt muscles, long neck leading to a perfect jaw line… Inuyasha. His silver hair was spread out on the pillow next to her and his long eyelashes brushed against his cheek. She sighed before relaxing as the previous night rushed back to her.

 

`Well kuso. Now what?' Slowly Kagome tried to roll away from him while easing his arm off of her body. Instantly his grip tightened as he pulled her closer to his chest, and issued a low warning growl that had her stiffening all over again. Was he awake? She eased back from him a bit before training her eyes on his face again. He was either asleep or pretending to be asleep. Either way he wasn't letting her go. Glancing at the clock she realized that it was early enough for her to get a few more hours of sleep before she had to go into work. She sighed again and relaxed even more as she closed her eyes. Apparently she wasn't going anywhere right now. And he was really comfortable…

 

 

 

+++++

 

 

Inuyasha was more comfortable than he could ever remember being in his entire life. He didn't want to wake up but the sun shining through the windows was insisting. He slowly cracked one eye open to scowl at the sun in hopes that it would go out. Instantly both of his eyes popped open. Those were not his windows he was looking out of. Every nerve on edge he tried to assess his situation. Okay. Big windows. Large loft. Warm bed. Kagome. All of his thoughts screeched to a halt at this. Kagome.

 

She was curled on her side with her arm around his torso and her leg tossed carelessly over his lower body. Apparently his arms were around her too. Her dark hair spilled across his chest from where she was nestled into his shoulder. And she smelled even better than he could have even imagined.

 

He eased her arms and legs from their current tangle with his and rolled to the edge of the bed where he sat up and propped his elbows onto his knees. Rubbing his face with one hand he glanced back at her. She had rolled onto her back and was now sprawled across the huge bed. Her hair a mess around her head and her lips slightly parted, she looked like an angel. A very sleepy angel, but an angel nonetheless. He had the sudden urge to get back into bed and curl up with her again. The wound in his shoulder throbbed slightly and reminded him of why he shouldn't. For all he knew she had no idea that she had shared her bed with him last night. And that's the way he intended to keep it. No good if she kicked his ass again.

 

With a resigned sigh he got up and gathered his things to leave. Once this was finally accomplished he went back to the bed where Kagome still lay. Inuyasha leaned down and ran his fingers gently across her brow and down her cheekbone. He hesitated before he ran the pad of his thumb across her lips. “Thank You.” He murmured, barely restraining himself from pressing a kiss to her lips. He jerked upright as she rolled in her sleep towards the sound of his voice. When she remained asleep he relaxed before turning and heading out the door. But not without a backward glance at the woman sleeping in the bed.
