Sleeping Place

He sighed, looking down at her sleeping body. `Because of one stupid dream… One fucking nightmare… I'm stuck with her at night. Every night.' He thought back to the night it happened, the night he gave up sleeping in the trees for good.

##%% FLASHBACK %%##

She'd cried out in her sleep. He'd come over from the tree a few feet away from the clearing. She smelled of sleep, like she should, but mixed in as well were fear, and the saltiness of sweat and tears. He crouched down next to her to look at her face, she was crying. Seeing this he shook her shoulder trying to wake her, it had worked. Or so he thought.

"InuYasha," she murmured through the silent tears. He watched her in shock, to him it sounded like he was hurting her in her dream. His hand was still resting on her shoulder, that's what woke her. She looked up at him and, upon seeing whom it was, smiled.

"InuYasha…" she said again. He stared at her, now with a mixture of worry, anger and relief.

"What happened?"

"It was another nightmare. That's all," she responded.

"You were crying. And I was there. You said my name," he said calling her lie.

"Sorry I worried you."

"What did I do to you?" he asked.

"You…" she started, looking away. He waited a moment.

"Kagome what ever you dreamed, I wouldn't do anything like that to you, ok?" he said making sure she understood. He stood up. She grimaced as tears formed in her eyes.

"I know," she choked out, trying hard not to cry. He looked down at her before crouching next to her again.

"Kagome, what did I do?"

"Y-you," she paused a moment to regain control of herself, "You… made the pain go away… You…" Not being able to continue she let her body fall against his chest, grasping his shoulders, crying. He looked down at her shaking body. A bit hesitantly he wrapped his arms around her.

"Kagome… I thought that I'd hurt you in your dream. I didn't know," he said quietly, trying to calm her down. She sighed into his shoulder as the sobbing slowed.

"Will you sleep with me tonight?" she asked, "I don't want to get another nightmare like that."

"Sure," he answered. She smiled up at him and through tears that had started to disperse, whispered a barely audible `thank you'.

Somehow he'd ended up in her strange blanket with her, she'd fallen asleep on his chest, but the thing that stopped him form leaving wasn't the fact that she had a firm grip on his haori, it was that she had a such peaceful smile on her face that he didn't want to risk breaking it.

##%%END FLASHBACK##%%

He now lay staring down at her again. If he had known that it would mean sleeping with her from then on he would have given it more thought. No more walks in the night to try clear his mind. No more moonlit baths. He'd have to go when the others were getting their evening meal prepared.

She stirred and moaned, clutching his haori tighter. He sniffed the air to check to see if his guess was right.

It was. He'd need to get alone soon. Probably upset her so she would go back home for a while, for once on purpose.

It'd be killing not two but three birds with one stone. He'd get to sleep alone for a few nights and she would be kept safe. And he'd avoid the complications that would come if they would sleep like this when he was ningen. She moaned again, her hand now slid lower on down his front before gripping the material.

He laid his hand on her shoulder trying to wake her. The tactic not working he shook her gently.

Her eyes fluttered open and she stared at him.

"I something wrong, InuYasha?" she asked, rubbing sleep from her eyes.

"Not really, I'd just like to sleep alone tonight, if you don't mind."

"Oh…well…I don't see why it would be up to me, go ahead." He nodded.

"I'll stay close, just in case." She smiled at him as he jumped onto a branch of the tree she was sleeping near.

Lying her head down, trying to recollect her dream before falling back asleep, Kagome noticed that InuYasha's presence didn't stay too long in the tree, he'd gone off, towards the direction of the hot springs she and Sango had bathed in earlier.

After pondering why he would leave like that and coming to no conclusions, she decided to go search for him. She stood and looked at the figures that were lying in the darkness, sleeping.

Shippo was curled up near Sango and Kirara, having been scared off by InuYasha since the beginning of their sleeping together. That and been almost a month ago, just after the New Moon.

She started off in the direction of the hot springs. Even if he wasn't there, she brought along her bathing stuff as an excuse if he caught her.

~~~~~

As Kagome neared the hot springs she heard the sounds of water splashing against rocks. As she walked closer she could see that InuYasha was in the water, his clothes off to the side of the edge of the pool. She could not, though, see the cause of the small waves, she was curious to find out.

She set her bathing supplies near his clothes as she neared him. She thought it was odd that he hadn't yet noticed her. She slipped off her shoes and socks, and got behind him.

Sitting down, she dipped her feet into the water next to his shoulders, so that he was in between them. Kagome marveled at her actions… before she noticed the cause of the waves in the water.

Feeling warm skin slide down his shoulders to have him in between, InuYasha slipped out of his trance, stopping his movements as he looked up to find Kagome staring back at him. He was resting between her thighs.

"Kagome?" he asked, somewhat dazed, "What are you doing here?"

"I…came to bathe."

"I'll leave then," he said starting to get up. Kagome's knees tightened on his shoulders.

"I can wait, but…" she faltered as her cheeks tinted slightly, "would you mind if I watched?"

He stared at her. `She just asked to watch me pleasure myself…surely it must be her heat getting to her,' he thought, `but if she's willing to go that far why not? It'll be just this once…'

"Ok, would you mind to bathe with me though?" he asked, knowing he was starting to blush.

She nodded. He looked out to the water to give her a sense of privacy as she undressed. Her legs replaced them selves at his sides, as she slid into the water, he was forced to move up a little bit. She rested her head on his shoulder. He leaned back into her.

His hand moved back to his cock, wrapping around it. Slowly at first, he started to pump his member, the speed gradually growing. He let out a small moan as felt the heat from the apex of Kagome's thighs press against his back.

He pumped faster. He felt her hand cautiously move forward along his arm, reaching down until she reached his wrist. Tentatively she touched the tip of it. He closed his eyes and gave a slight smile.

"What happened to watching?" he asked. She jerked her hand but his fingers caught hers as he continued his ministrations. She gasped.

"Gomen…"

"No, don't be, just quite, ok?"

"Hai," she nodded. He leaned towards her and pressed his lips against hers. As he drew away she stared at him, he was grinning.

She kissed him a bit roughly, trying to get a good angle. He kissed back, tasting her lips and asking for entrance. She opened her mouth to him as she moved to straddle his legs.

But, he broke the kiss, tilting his head back in a silent scream as he came. Kagome felt the hot liquid as it jettisoned into the water.

She leaned forward against him, paused a moment so he could catch his breath. He took notice of this and kissed her again.

His hand moved from his swollen cock and tangled into her hair along with the other one, deepening their kiss. One of her hands, he felt moved down as the other moved up, tangling into his hair.

He felt it slide down between them to her pussy, the rhythmic movements letting him know that her observations had taken their toll.

Grinning into the kiss, he reached down to her hand and pulled it away from her, she whimpered.

"Why not?" she whined. He looked at her a moment, studying her face.

"Let me…" he said, a smile touching his lips. She nodded leaning back against him.

His hand slid down to her pussy, slowly and lovingly, igniting a fire at each part of her skin that it touched and leaving the forgotten skin crying out for more as he left it. She moaned.

As his hand reached its destination he rubbed his cheek against hers, his head tilted at just the right angle so that he could easily catch every sound she made.

He ran a finger lightly over her clit. She gasped at feeling the slightly calloused skin go across it moaning a second time.

Pushing aside her lips he ventured farther, searching for her entrance. At finding it, he ran his finger along it, slowly. Kagome shivered, now very anxious to have him inside of her, be it fingers or otherwise.

"Onegai stop torturing me," she asked in a breathy voice, gripping his shoulders.

"And you expect me to be an obedient pup don't you?" he whispered back, twirling his finger around her clit.

"I just asked, InuYasha, but onegai stop," she begged. He smiled, rubbing her cheek again.

"I guess I could stop short this time," he murmured into her ear.

"This time?" she asked, but soon could care less for as those words came forth, InuYasha plunged his finger inside her, issuing a moan from her. Followed by another, and another. He paused a moment for her to accommodate his intrusion.

She kissed the tip of his ear and whispered `ready' into it. It was his turn to shiver.

Pressing his thumb against her clit, he began to pump in and out. She arched her back, pressing her body against him. Kissing the area around her ear, he cupped one of her breasts, rolling and lightly pinching the taut nipple between his fingers.

Balancing whether to keep a good position to hear her or a good position to pleasure her, he went for the latter, her noises were already making him want to loose control; he needed to get away from them.

He turned, bringing her with him so that she was against the smooth rocks. Releasing her breast and stopping his hand movements, he reached for his haori, spreading it out behind her on the ground. Lifting her up, he set her down on top of it.

He crawled on top of her and pretty much resumed the position they were in a few moments ago, but now he had room to take her other breast into his mouth. She gasped and then moaned, bucking her hips against his hand.

As her vaginal walls started to squeeze his fingers tighter and her moans started to grow louder and more desperate he pulled out, she whimpered. He smirked at her.

"Want more?" he questioned, leaving her breast and whispering the question in her ear. She nodded and moaned as he began to fondle her breast again. "Tell me."

"I want more, InuYasha, I want you to touch me more," she begged, whispering into his ear. He kissed her ear and trailed it down to her collarbone, suckling at her skin.

"Touch you where?" he demanded, spreading her legs farther apart with his knee as she motioned downwards. "Where?"

"Everywhere, I want you to touch me everywhere, but down…down there…deep," she moaned, lifting her hips up. Slowly he thrust into her, giving her time to accommodate him. Her breath hitched in her throat.

`Nothing like anything she could imagine, and more,' she sighed. She squeezed him, wrapping her legs around his waist to signal that she was ready to continue.

He pulled out slowly, and then pushed back in. She squeezed again.

"More," she begged. He complied with faster strokes that reached deeper into her passage, steadily increasing his pace she began to thrust her hips up, meeting his.

"Faster," she worded, breathlessly. He glanced at her from the crook of her neck where he'd been licking at the skin. He thrust faster, and deeper. Her attempts at keeping up with his pace were fruitless; she just stopped and let him slam into her faster and harder as her cries for more became louder and more frequent.

He was closer to his release than she was, he could feel it. Just where to help her reach it as fast as he was? He knew perfectly well where it was.

Reaching down to their place of connection he grazed her now swollen clit with his finger, she cried out again. He tended to it, both tenderly and roughly. Her walls tightened on his cock again as she reached her climax.

"I-I-InuYa-aashhaaaa!!!" she screamed. InuYasha couldn't stand it; he threw his head back and roared her name into the starry night sky as he thrust into her as deep as he could, pushing against her most sensitive spot as his cum filled her.

He slumped over her and pulled her back into the hot spring. She clung to him as she felt the hot water overtake her body.

A few minutes later as their breath returned, InuYasha took the fluffy, net-like sponge from Kagome's forgotten pile of bath stuff and soaked it in the water before taking the bottle that read BATH SOAP and poured some of its contents onto it and lather it, as he'd seen Kagome do a few time before when he'd watched her bathe. He ran the sponge thing over her and began to wash her. She let him.

"Why are you washing me?" she asked quietly. He looked up at her.

"You said you came to bathe right?" he remarked, "I'm just washing you, you look too tired to do it by yourself." She nodded, she'd forgotten about her excuse for coming.

"What about you?" she asked, "Can I wash you?" He smirked and nodded.

"Only fair," he answered, "But let me finish first."

"Ok." She let her body fall limp in his arms again.

Later after both were clean, InuYasha stood and started to redress. Kagome attempted to follow suit, but instead lost her balance and fell. InuYasha caught her just before her face made contact with the grass. She looked up at him questioningly as he set her down and finished donning his inner kimono and tying it in place.

"InuYasha," she began, "What happened? Why can't I stand?" He picked up her small pile off clothes and walked back over to her, squatting next to her.

"It might be a side-effect of mating," he suggested.

"Mating with a hanyo maybe," she said, "It doesn't normally happen with ningen." He stared at her blankly for a moment before fixing his gaze on her shoulder.

"Can you dress yourself or can I help?" he asked.

"I didn't mean it to come out like that, gomen," she apologized. She started to put on her bra and spoke again, "I'll need your help with my skirt and panties. I'm almost completely paralyzed from the waist down." He nodded and began to help her into her clothing.

"There," he stated as finally got the zipper of her skirt fastened. He turned around, "OK get on." She looked at him quizzically.

"InuYasha," she began, "it just occurred to me, do you like sleeping with me at night?" He turned around and looked at her.

"What kind of question is that?" he asked, incredulously.

"Onegai, answer the question," she insisted. He sighed.

"I like sleeping with you but I don't like sleeping like that," he answered. She tilted her head slightly.

"You mean the ground or the sleeping bag?" she persisted.

"Both, really," he replied. She righted her head and smiled at him with a slight giggle.

"I don't care how I sleep, InuYasha," she said, "As long as I feel safe. And I feel safe with you." He smiled at her, but the smile soon vanished.

"Done talking? We need to get back to camp," he said, changing the subject. She nodded and somehow managed to crawl onto his back without the use of her legs, which proved difficult.

When they reached the clearing, InuYasha set Kagome down and put her bathing supplies back in her backpack before picking her up in his arms and walking back over to the tree he'd previously designated as his resting place for the night. He jumped up to one of the higher branches; careful to make sure it was thick enough to carry their weight.

"Whoa! This is a great view of the stars!" Kagome whispered as she stared into the depths of the navy/black night sky. InuYasha pulled her back away from space as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him. She looked up at him.

"Yeah, one of the many reasons I like staying in the trees instead of the ground," he answered, staring at the sparkling stars as Kagome had. A breeze blew by; some loose leaves and smalls seeds caught in it, reminding the girl how much of her skin wasn't covered by her clothing. She shivered. InuYasha removed his haori and wrapped it around her. She pulled it tighter around her and snuggled into it.

"Goodnight, see you in the morning," she yawned, "and in my dreams." She added the last part as she fell asleep. He looked down at her as her breathing slowed to that of a sleeping rate. He kissed her forehead.

`Maybe that nightmare wasn't all for t he bad after all,' he thought, `she and I can both sleep easier now.' He wrapped his arms around her tighter. `This is defiantly a place I like to sleep…' He drifted off to sleep; making use of the hours left until dawn; when he would again wake to her face, his favorite part of their silent deal…

Please review I'd like to know what you think.

A/N: Did Kagome notice that InuYasha knew how to go about washing her with her soaps? Yes, she knew that he sometimes watched her…
