Time stood still in those moments as the rain fell with a grace and nobility no one thought possible. She stood there as her tears mixed with rain marring her porcelain skin, the tresses of her black hair fixed to the nape of her neck.

 

The tiniest droplets of water trailing down her skin bringing shudders of cold and an indiscernible hunger to her body. It was in this moment that everything she had every hoped for was coming true, and with every fiber of her being she prayed to Kami that it would never end.

 

The warmth of his embrace quenched the cold that began to permeate her body as Kagome held on for dear life, never to let go. Tears refused to let up as they continued to trail a path down her face and mixing with the rain to soak her lover's haori.

 

With a clawed hand he pulled her face so that looked into his, pools of molten amber and chocolate coalesced together. Gently, so as not to break the skin, he wiped away the salted tears with the pad of his thumb.

 

Their eyes delved into each other souls looking for a trace or any hint of rejection, upon seeing none he brought his lips to hers in the simplest yet most passion filled kiss. Afraid to fall she wrapped her hands in the soft cloth, as melted ever so slightly into the lips of her hanyou.

The mounting passion as their lips continued gave the young priestess a warmth and comfort never before felt. Dizzy with delight and lack of air, Kagome pulled back to stare into the eyes of Inuyasha bring her hand up to his face.

 

In doing so Inuyasha let out the softest of moans as he began to nuzzle her hand affectionately, taking the other hand and wrapping it in his own. Never had anything felt so perfect for the wayward souls.

 

Once again Kagome pulled back to speak only to find herself lost in the orbs, not knowing if she would ever come back.

 

“Kagome……why were you crying?” Inuyasha asked in a soft and concerned way.

 

Kagome blinked when she heard the gentle tone in his voice, this time finding herself lost in his voice. She never wanted to come down from this euphoric state that she found herself in.

 

The air constricted in her lungs, her voice no longer functional from the bliss that surrounded her and her lover, so she did the only thing she knew to do when she couldn't speak; she began to tear up, the salted menace broke the bounds of her eyes only to be chased away by the hand of Inuyahsa.

 

“Oh Inuyasha……..I'm sorry.” Kagome stepped out of the embrace to hang her head. She knew how much he hated to see her cry, how he hated to see anybody cry, but especially her.

 

“I'm just so happy.” She sobbed.

 

Inuyasha walked towards her again taking her up in his embrace and warmth, her thin body shaking like a leaf. Kami how he enjoyed her embrace and her scent that poured over him, he had waited so longer to hold her, to tell her that he was sorry for being such a coward and to proud to tell her what he felt.

 

Even now he never wanted to let her go, to just hold her in his forever. All he wanted was for time to stand still so he could capture this moment in his mind, reliving everyday with his precious miko.

 

The memory of her lips from moments ago played in his mind like a broken record, the softness and tenderness of her lips against his, her smell as she came to new heights, her sweet honey taste, all of it memorized.

 

How he just wanted to take her and love her, show her how lucky he was that she would choose such a dirty half-breed like himself. With Kagome in his arms her felt that he could do anything, even overcome the stigmata of being a half-breed.

 

`Half-breeds like you are never loved; they don't deserve the love of a human or demon. The will always be alone!!!!' The words rang in the back of his mind, screaming at him, yet still she stood there always at his side.

 

Love was what she gave him and with that he knew that he was special, her trust, friendship, love, and protection all given to him unconditionally. Breathing deeply he took in the lilies, vanilla, and gentle spring rain of her scent, using it as his own life force.

 

Hands intertwined with hands, as stings of black and white melded together forming the perfect unison of beauty. At that moment the two souls that stood melded together in the damp clearing shone brighter then rays of the sun and the purified Shikon no Kakara.

 

Theirs was an unconditional love, transcending both time and space neither asking for anything in return.

 

“Kagome?”

“Yes, Inuyasha?” she asked barley above a whisper, her tear stained face buried in the heat of the robe of the fire rat

 

“I-I…….I Love You.”

 

Kami how she had waited so long to hear just these simple three little words from him, yet those three little words sent Kagome Higurashi into a never ending tailspin. A tailspin of raw, unadulterated emotions of every nature; fear, anger, love, sadness, happiness, emotions that she couldn't think of names for burned inside of her.

 

She breathed in his scent of pine needles, and fresh meadows, using as her life energy just as Inuyasha had.

 

The feeling of his chest rising and falling beneath her swollen breasts, the calming sound of his constant heartbeat, all became ingrained in her mind and in her touch. How many times did she lay there at night dreaming of him taking her into the boughs of the Sacred Tree, their tree, and just ravaging her body?

 

Too many sleepless nights spent thinking of the lean chest she felt through her hands as she traveled on his back. Just that memory alone brought a smile to her face, the feeling of holding onto him as they sailed on the invisible wind currents running through the forest.

 

With that slight smile stretching her full lips, she stood on her tiptoes and went in for the kill. A simple sweet kiss from her lips brought Inuyasha unexpected surprise, his body melting to hers.

 

“I Love You too, Inuyasha.”

 

Kami how his lips were on fire at the smallest touch of her lips, he wanted so much more from her but restrained himself not wanting to push his delicate Angel into anything. So instead her stood there in mute shock, slowly letting his body melt and confirm to hers.

 

Again time seemed to stop for the star crossed lovers, as the answer came from her mouth.

`She really does love me? I guess so or else she wouldn't have said it. Wow, she loves me.' He thought as he touched his lips, feeling the lingering burn.

 

Inuyahsa felt he was everything at that moment, suddenly succumbing to insatiable urge to start doing cartwheels across the clearing. Kagome began to giggle, as she was reminded of the circus performers, watching her hanyou do the cartwheels.

 

As her small giggles reached his sensitive ears, the thought of fine glass came to mind. So melodic was her laugh he thought of how easily it could brake and shatter, he watched he vowing to never let any ill will befall her. He would give his life to save his Angels, standing in the way of anything that had the nerve to go after his woman.

 

`Oh kami I sound that damn wolf. He he but she is….'

 

“Inuyasha……” Kagome started breaking him from his thoughts

 

She watched him doing the cartwheels, when the giggles broke forth. Kagome had tried so hard to hold them bake, but to no avail. Standing there she looked up to see that he had stopped only to watching her with a determined expression.

 

Gazing back at him she had never felt more safe and more right about anything in her life, spurring her on to ask the question that burned inside her.

 

'Please, I don't him to ever leave me.' She silently prayed.

 

“Inuyahsa…..will you promise me that you wont ever leave me?”

 

He stood there, arms crossed in their customary fashion, watching as she dropped her head down so that her bangs covered her eyes. Inuyasha wondered if the she feared the answer, thinking he would say no, worried that he would turn tail and go to Kikyo.

 

He would do nothing of the sort to the woman that was before him, Kikyo was dead to him but a simple shell of the life she had before. Here stood the love of his life, his eternal soul mate which the hands of fate had picked for him, and nothing nor anybody was going to take that away.

 

He walked closer towards her, reaching her small frame in two bounds, picking up her head so that he could gaze into her eyes when he reached her.

 

Upon looking into the eyes he saw something that wanted to make him cry, below the bright twinkle stood immense fear, pain, and sadness, emotions he wanted erase from her angelic face. Over time he would make sure that those emotions never reached the surface, never would he let her endure the hardships he had too.

 

“Kagome as long as I live I promise you that I wont ever leave you. Never will you have to worry or be scared. I'll protect you for as long we both live and even in death I will never leave you. This is my vow and promise to you. Please Kagome be my mate and wife, I want to always be with you.” And with that said Inuyasha did something very unlike himself, her got on one knee before her.

 

She watched with fresh tears brimming at her eyes, blurring her vision. Kagome had never felt so happy, so much like a giddy school girl, that she had again found herself at a lose for words.

 

All she could do was get down on the ground and wrap her arms around the neck of the hanyou, shacking her head vigorously as she did so.

“Yes, Inuyasha. My answer is yes.” She said smiling her sweet smile once again.

 

And with that both hanyou and miko embraced each other, destiny's hand finally playing out to their hopes. As the spring rain ended and the clouds parted, the two were left to bask in the setting sun, both succumbing to building passion of their hearts as their lips met in a kiss that caused the fiery sun to blush.
