Inuyasha nuzzled Kagome’s hair in the early dawn light. She was usually an early riser, and he wanted to get a bit of playtime in before she started to ready herself for school. There was a slight bit of darkness under her eyes, courtesy of their reunion(s) the night before. He felt a little bad knowing she’d be sore as well as tired all day, but she was the one who insisted on having her party the day before she went back to school, so part of the blame rested on her shoulders as well. Last night had been an attempt at convincing her to stay in sick, but the girl had refused, claiming that it was the first day of her junior year and she didn’t want to miss it and anger her mother.

“Ugh, Inuyasha, what time is it?” she whispered, turning on her side so he wouldn’t be able to continue nibbling her throat.

He glanced out the window to see the position of the sun. “Looks like it’s about six or so,” he whispered back, running his hands up and down her thighs under the blanket.

She laughed quietly into her pillow. “I have a clock, use it.”

“Well then, why ask me when you have such advanced technology at your disposal?”

“I don’ wanna open my eyesss…”

She began to drift off again and he smirked, sliding under the covers and gently turning her on her back. Already dreaming, she didn’t even notice. Inuyasha kissed her stomach, her thighs, her calves, her feet and toes. Already the last few months seemed like nothing more than a nightmare. Trailing his claws over her skin as he made his way back up, he shoved the end of her short cotton nightgown out of the way and ran his tongue over her lower lips, somewhat miffed when she let out a snore. Doubling his efforts, he used two fingers to spread her and unfurled his tongue inside the hot entrance. Finally, a choked gasp came from the girl and her thighs pressed against either side of his head.

“Mmmf! I-Inuyasha!”

He shushed her and continued working, suckling her clit and running a fang down one of her outer lips. He glanced up to see her hands pinching her breasts through the nightgown, under the pile of blankets and sheets she piled on herself nightly. The sight, coupled with her erotically heavy panting and little squeaks, drove him wild and he added two fingers, his tongue teasing her outside and then around her clitoris. Just as he was going to go for the big finish, he picked up on footsteps too late and the door swung open before he could move.

“Kagome!” his wife’s voice rang out, more than a little cross. “Just because I allowed you to stay up late last night does not mean you can shirk your duties today. Make yourself presentable and go to school.”

Still and terrified, he lay on his stomach between Kagome’s legs, for once thankful for the girl’s obsession with fluffy blankets and stuffed animals and multiple pillows. One more lump wouldn’t be something noticeable. All the same, he stopped breathing entirely, unconsciously pressing himself into the mattress and gripping Kagome’s bottom tighter, causing the girl to squirm.

“Oh, uh, yes, s-sorry, Mother. I-I’ll be right up.”

Kikyo left the room without another word and Kagome fell back to the bed with a sigh of relief. Inuyasha waited until he heard Kikyo go down the stairs, and only then did he breathe again. Nervously, he caressed Kagome’s hips, wondering if she would ever again let him touch her while Kikyo was home. His fears vanished when she wiggled in his grasp and reached down to give one of his ears a teasing yank.

“You heard her, Inuyasha, I’ve got to hurry. What are you waiting for?”

Snorting a laugh, he dove back in, one of his arms leaving her hips to play with her breasts, switching from one to another as he tongued her tight passage. After just a minute, Kagome grunted her satisfaction into her pillow and scooted down to where he was beneath the blankets, pulling him into a heated kiss.

“Boy, it’s stuffy down here!” she gasped.

“You get used to it.” Grinning widely, he caressed her bottom, giving her a small slap. “You better get going.”

She exaggerated a pout and threw her arms around him. “But what about you? I still owe you one. I could skip breakfast and just…” she trailed off, her fingers teasing and tickling his skin.

As appealing as the offer was, he shook his head. “Let’s not tempt fate, angel.”

She sighed in disappointment. “Fine.”

“Hey!” he exclaimed in excitement. “I could take you to school and we could fool around in the parking lot like old times.”

Kagome bit her lip and looked away. “I want to, it’s just that Hojo picks me up now and if I were to abruptly go back to the way things were before, it’d seem suspicious.”

“Ah.” The old bitterness was back and had made its way into his voice. Inuyasha hated that he felt this way when Kagome was giving it her all and taking on the role of the sane, responsible one, but he couldn’t help but want more.

She rubbed his arm consolingly. “I’m all yours, Inuyasha. All yours. I love you so much that I can’t breathe when I think about it. Remember that and trust me.”

He smiled at her in apology and gave her a quick, chaste kiss. “Same here. Now hurry up and leave so you can come back.”

Laughing, she rolled out of bed and he jumped out her window, running on the grass still wet with dew until he came to his own.  With a great leap, he was suddenly in his room. Opening his closet, he decided that today he was actually going to go to work dressed for work. Pulling out a suit that hadn’t seen the light of day since before Kagome was born, he shook out the dust and hoped moths hadn’t eaten holes in it.

Today was going to be good.

O/\o/\O

When Inuyasha arrived home after a long day of not doing anything but staring at one or more of the four walls of his office and ignoring Myoga’s joyful rants about Tetsusaiga’s increased productivity, Kikyo was in her room video chatting with several of her executives and Kagome was on the couch, appearing as though she was doing homework when he could tell she had just been doodling and waiting for him. It warmed his heart and he greeted her with a kiss, making a mental note to keep an ear out so they would have no repeats of earlier that day. Getting caught and getting away with it was thrilling, but when it was actually happening it was completely terrifying and it would be prudent of him to stay alert. She sighed into his mouth and they parted, still embracing.

“Come on, I wanna show you something,” he said with a smile, taking her by the hand. Inuyasha could barely contain his excitement. Walking away from the living room, they arrived in a little used back room, the purpose of which he had long forgotten. He supposed he originally intended it to be a guest room, but he hadn’t had a single guest yet so it was just bare and dusty. Opening the room’s closet, he ignored Kagome’s confused look and bent down, prying up a square of the floor.

“The basement,” he explained, gesturing to the darkness that was most likely brimming with cobwebs.

“We have a basement?” the girl murmured, glancing from him and back to the square black hole again.

Inuyasha nodded and began their descent, making sure to go in front of Kagome in case she tripped or there were rodents or something. Once they reached the bottom, going slowly and carefully the entire way for her benefit, he ran his hand along the wall, searching for the light switch. Finding it after a few fumblings and curses, he prayed for it to work and flipped it, bathing the room in a fluorescent glow.

“Wow!” Kagome gasped, and he moved her in front of him, hugging her from behind, a proud smile on his face. She looked around with wide eyes, taking in the new sight that had been just below everyone’s feet the entire time.

”Yeah. I made myself a man cave about ten years back. Never really used it.”

“Why not?”

Inuyasha shrugged, embarrassed. “Never had anyone to play with,” he muttered, gesturing to the pool and foosball tables, old arcade games, and various other grown-up toys.

Kagome smiled, the warmth of it melting away his sudden awkwardness. “Well, you have me now.” She grabbed his hand and he squeezed in gratitude. “So,” she continued, “did you bring me down here for a game of air hockey?”

He shook his head. “We can do that later. I want to show you something.”

He led her over to the other side of the room and let go of her hand, grunting as he moved the heavy foosball table out of the way to reveal a small door, about half the height of a regular one. Taking a tiny, antique-looking brass key out of his shirt pocket, he unlocked the door and swung it open, crawling in a very undignified manner through the space, knowing Kagome would follow. The room was almost as large as his bedroom and had one small window near the ceiling about the size of a notebook. Kagome stared at the bare room, a quizzical expression on her face.

“Well? What do you think?” he asked, proud of his resourcefulness.

“Er, what do I think about what, exactly?”

“The room.”

She paused. “I… think that it could use some decorating. You’ll definitely have a hard time getting any of your toys in here, though.”

“No, it’s not gonna be another game room,” he said, exasperated. “It’s going to be our room.”

“What do you mean?”

“I was thinking while I was at work, and it came to me that this would be the perfect place for us to go to from now on when we want to be ourselves by ourselves.” Kagome only looked at him dubiously, so he continued. “It’s soundproof down here. She doesn’t know about it. Only you and I will have the key,” he said excitedly as he handed her a brass key identical to his own.

She looked at the object in her hand and then back at him. “I—Wow, I don’t know what to say.”

“Say yes,” Inuyasha commanded, softening his harsh tone with a kiss to the cheek.

“Okay, then. I trust you.”

They smiled at each other and he just basked in the moment, committing it to memory, the way her face lit up with its own light in the dim room.

“I’ll get some furniture and set it up piece by piece. I’m gonna spend all my time on it, so it should be done by this weekend,” he finished suggestively, reaching out to play with a lock of her hair that waved a bit more than the rest.

“Oh. Okay,” she said again, and he wondered at her tone.

“Is something wrong, angel?”

“No, not at all!” she said quickly. “Well, it’s mine and Hojo’s two month anniversary this Saturday.”

“Oh,” he said stunned, withdrawing his hand from her hair.

“That doesn’t mean I won’t have time for you!” she said anxiously, clasping his hand. “I’ll come home early, I promise.”

Inuyasha nodded, trying and failing to appear unaffected as he stooped to make his way out the door. Feeling a tug on his pants leg, he stopped and craned his neck in order to get a good look at the girl kneeling behind him. Her eyes were soft and loving and he felt the burning pain in his throat ease the littlest bit.

“He’s just a friend who doesn’t know it, Inuyasha. I’m not going to do anything with him. I’m all yours, remember?” she said with an unsure smile.

“I know that,” he grumbled irritably and left the room. He had planned on collecting this morning’s debt in the room, but that was out the window now. Nothing went the way he wanted it to anymore. Inuyasha glanced sullenly back at Kagome, who bit her lip to keep the tears at bay as she walked up the stairs. He was sorry for hurting her, but if she was to be prancing about all over town with that drooling child, then as far as he was concerned she deserved a bit of emotional pain as well. Sighing once they were back in the closet, he kissed the top of her head and wordlessly went to his room, feeling weary.
