InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Take My Breath Away ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )
Take My Breath Away
Chapter 2
Kagome could not afford to waste any more time crying, but the emotional release helped calm her. Inu-Yasha did not stir again as she finished towel bathing him hurriedly. She was caught between the need to help him now and the urgency of getting him better medical care. Getting him dressed again was almost impossible. In the end she left off his haori and tied it around her waist. Kirara flattened herself to the ground as much as she could to try and make it easier for Kagome to pull Inu-Yasha with her up on the fire cat’s back. Kagome was heaving with exhaustion by the time Kirara took off again.
Inu-Yasha’s temperature did not go down for long. It was getting late in the day, the sun was slowly beginning to set behind the trees. Kagome had not wanted to stop again too soon. They were at least a half a day’s journey from Kaede’s village if they flew non-stop. But another stop was becoming unavoidable. She asked Kirara to find a place with deep water, like a pond or river. Twenty minutes later they landed by a deep, slow moving river. This time Kagome would try and submerse him, his fever was that bad.
Once she got his clothes off again, she realized that she would have to take him in the river herself because he was still unconscious. There was no way she would be able to support his weight from the riverbank. He might slip out of her grasp and drown. Of course she had no bathing suit and the tattered rags of her clothing would probably just drag her down or get in her way. Sighing resignedly, she stripped off all her clothes, including her bra and panties because they were her last clean pair.
As she stood naked over Inu-Yasha’s body, she was glad he was still unconscious. This was a pretty compromising situation for him to suddenly wake up to, despite her true intentions. Kagome got into the water first. To her relief it came up only to her chest, and the slow current was cool but not cold. Then she slipped her hands in his armpits and dragged him in after her. His body slipped into the water and it buoyed him somewhat, making it easier for her to support him. He floated on his back, and she held his head above water by resting it on her shoulder and clasping him across his chest with her arm.
His hair fanned out and tickled her naked breasts, and she groaned at the uncalled for erotic sensation. One of his hands brushed her hip as it floated underwater, bringing on another wave of erotic feeling. How can you betray me like this? She thought at her body as she splashed water gently on his neck and face.
It was hard work bathing him in the river, and she stopped at one point and rested her forehead on his shoulder where it lay cushioned on her breast. To her relief, he seemed cooler to her touch. When she felt she was almost ready to try and haul him out of the river with her, he stirred. She took in a sharp breath as his head moved on her shoulder. His hand clasped her hip where it had been dangling, and his golden eyes slowly opened. Oh for kami’s sake what do I do now? She thought as she bit her lip and he turned his gaze upon her face. His eyes were unfocused, and she realized he was still in a haze from the venom and his fever.
“Kagome…?” he whispered.
“Shh, Inu-Yasha. You’re very ill. Don’t try to do anything.” She said.
He relaxed his grasp on her and closed his eyes, and she breathed a sigh of relief. When it came time to get him out of the river she almost wished he was conscious again to help her. Despite her distaste for water, Kirara changed to her youkai form and delicately took one of his arms in her mouth to help Kagome. The fire cat realized the miko would never get him out otherwise.
What Kagome and Kirara didn’t know was that Inu-Yasha had not slipped back into full unconsciousness. He lingered on the edge, semi-aware of what was going on. His mind was a jumble from the fever, and he could not remember what had happened clearly. All he knew was that his body burned, like fire racing up and down his nerves. Through slitted eyes he saw Kagome rise nude before him, and he caught his breath in an inaudible gasp. Was it the fever that took his breath away as he looked at her? He was stunned by how beautiful her body was. Had he never noticed before? Her breasts were full, high and round, with pert pink nipples that stood erect from the cold water. His eyes traveled to her slender waist and softly flaring hips and rested on the damp curls of her pubic region. Then he took in her long, strong, slim legs. Am I dreaming he thought? Or is this arousing vision really my Kagome? It’s all too confusing…
By the time Kagome had dressed and started to try and dress Inu-Yasha again, he had drifted off unknown to her that he had ever been awake. She put fresh bandages on his arm, but gave up on trying to put his shirt back on. She put on his hakama and slung his haori around his shoulders. The shirt got stuffed in her pack.
It became plain to her and Kirara that they would have to stop and make camp for at least part of the night. The miko and the fire cat were too exhausted to go on. Kagome ate a meager meal of ramen and tried to get some water down Inu-Yasha’s throat without him choking on it. As she got ready to try and get a few hours sleep, she noticed Inu-Yasha start to shiver. This could not be a good sign, she thought. She slipped up next to him and felt his forehead. He was sweating and his skin was cold and clammy. Okay, she thought, I will just have to keep him warm. She laid her sleeping bag over them both, and lay next to him, her arm around him. Pressed up to his side, she rested her head on his chest, trying her best to share her warmth with him. He tossed his head and murmured something, but they were just fever dreams, she thought. In his sleep he reached his arm out and held hers where it clasped him. Hold on Inu-Yasha, she thought, you can’t die not knowing how I feel about you.
Inu-Yasha dreamt of a naked miko who looked like a goddess and took loving care of him. And it wasn’t Kikyo…

Watching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and retruning
To some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away
