Understandings

 

Kagome groaned as she tried to open her eyes. She could feel a soft fabric under her finger tips and along her bare legs. `Where am I?' she thought to herself as she once again tried to open her eyes. When her heavy lids refused to open she lets herself drift off to sleep once more. She never felt the presence of someone watching her from beside the bed. He gently brushed her bangs away from her eyes and smiled to himself. `She's so beautiful.' He thought before leaning back in his chair and watching her sleep.

 

Sango and Miroku finally made there way off of the dance floor once they noticed Kagome wasn't at the bar. “Where could she of gone?” Sango asked and looked frantically around. “I don't know Sango but don't worry we will find her.” Miroku said as he put a reassuring arm around her shoulders. Sango just sighed and continued to scan the club for her friend. `I hope you are safe Kagome.' She thought to herself before they grabbed their belongings and headed for the door. “We'll go and see if she somehow made it back to your apartment.” Miroku told her as they walked quickly down the block. “I just can't believe this is happening. She promised she wouldn't move.” Sango huffed as they walked through the doors of the building. “Now Sango, maybe she needed to use the bathroom.” He answered as he pushed the button for the elevator. “But if that's true what if she is still at the club?” She started going off on different scenarios as Miroku just sighed.

 

Kagome slightly cracked one eye open and immediately regretted it. “Oh man.” She cried as she placed her arm over her eyes. “Sorry, I meant to turn that off before you woke up.” Said a deep voice from beside her then she heard the click of a switch. “That should be better, there is only a little light now.” The voice said again and Kagome fought to place whose voice it was. Before she could try to open her eyes again she felt something press against her lips. “Here take these it'll help with the pain.” She slowly opened her mouth and felt two small pills push past her lips. “Water” was all she heard again before she felt a cool glass against her mouth. After taking a small sip to send the pills down her throat did her mind start to work again. `What did I just take? What if it was some type of drug?' her mind raced. Quickly she sat up and opened her eyes. Pain rushed to her head from her action and placed her hands on either side of it as if it would help. “Why did you do a thing like that?” came the voice laced with concern. Kagome finally opened her eyes and looked at the person who was “taking care” of her. Her grey eyes went wide once she saw who was sitting in the chair next to the bed.

 

Sango threw open her apartment door and started yelling. “KAGOME! KAGOME ARE YOU HERE?!” Miroku just shook his head and followed her into the apartment. He watched as she went into each bedroom and bathroom looking for her friend. “Does she have a cell phone?” he asked as he looked down at his own phone noticing it was now 1:00 in the morning. Sango ran into the living room and grabbed the cordless phone off the side table. “Yes, yes she does.” She said sounding almost triumphant. Miroku gave a little nod and sat down on the couch. “Oh it's ringing!” she squealed and sat down next to him with hope in her eyes.

 

RINNNNNGGGGG

 

“Oh make it stop!” Kagome cried and covered her ears. She watched as a hand quickly grabbed the small phone and answered it. “What?!” it said dangerously into the phone. “Who is this? I'm looking for Kagome? What have you done to her?” Sango went off before the person could answer, all they heard was someone fighting over the phone and then a manly voice answered. “Hello, may I please speak to Kagome?” Miroku asked trying to sound polite. The person started to answer before they felt a hand upon their shoulder. “Inuyasha who is it?” Kagome asked softly. Inuyasha slightly covered the mouth piece and looked at her. “It's Sango and Miroku, she sounds worried.” He answered her before turning back to the little phone. “Tell Sango she's ok Miroku, she just needs to get some rest and quiet.” He growled out the last part. “Oh Inuyasha, I didn't realize that was you. Well it is good to know that she is alright. We will let you go now.” He said trying to hide the lecherous thoughts that were running through his head. “You pervert!” Inuyasha said before he hung up.

 

“Is she alright?!” Sango said as she grabbed Miroku's shirt and pulled it lightly. “Yes she is fine; it appears as though Kagome has a hangover. Inuyasha is taking care of her.” He answered her as he gently untangled her fingers from his shirt. “Don't worry Sango, she is in good hands.” He said softly before he ran his hand along her jaw line and placed his lips against her. Sango's eyes went wide before she started to respond to the kiss. Wrapping her arms around his neck Sango pulled him closer as the continued to make out on the couch. He ran his hands down her back and rested them on her hips. For once his mind kept his roaming hands in check so not to ruin the moment. The two broke the kiss both breathing heavy as they stared at each other. “Come Sango, it is late. We should get some rest.” He told her as he started to pull her off the couch and towards her room. “Miroku…” She said as she looked at him with a raised eyebrow. “Don't worry Sango, I plan on being a perfect gentleman. I just want to hold you in my arms.” He said with a sweet smile as they entered her room and closed that door.

 

“You should get some more rest Kagome, that headache isn't going to go away if you don't.” Inuyasha said as he started to gently push her back onto his bed. “Inuyasha, why am I here in your room?” She asked searching his face for answers. “I'll tell you about in the morning but for now rest…please?” his voice was soft and his gold eyes flashed with concern and something else that Kagome couldn't figure out. “Alright, but will you lay with me please?” she said as she held onto his hand. He gave a small smile before her unbuttoned his shirt and joined her on the bed. He pulled the covered up around her shoulders before settling on top of them, he lightly wrapped his arm around her waist. “Good night Kagome.” He whispered into her ear. She knew he could feel the heat that was radiating from her face as he held her close. `I can't believe he took his shirt off…what a body!' was all she could think as she started to drift back to sleep. Inuyasha smiled and took a deep breath of her scent before closing his eyes.

 

The next morning found the couples still holding each other in bed. Miroku was spooned against Sango's back with his face nuzzling her neck. She smiled and looked down at their intertwined fingers. “This is nice.” She whispered to herself. “Yes it is, love.” He said placing a soft kiss on her neck and letting out a content sigh. `Who would of thought that me and the pervert would get together?' she thought to herself before she fell back to sleep in his arms. In the other apartment Kagome rolled over and felt her head get cradled on a nice warm…soft and vibrating pillow? Her eyes slowly fluttered open and when they did her new pillow gave a little laugh. When Kagome lifted her head and looked up her eyes met with beautiful gold ones. “That tickled.” He said softly and couldn't help but laugh at Kagome gave him a confused look. “You eye lashes.” He lightly touched them as he said this and saw a small smile break out across her face. “I'm sorry.” But all he did was shake his head at her. She looked down to where her hand was resting and lightly moved her fingers along his waist. He gave a little purr and continued to watch waiting to see what she was doing. Slowly she ran her hand up his chest stopping it once she reached his shoulders.

 

Kagome couldn't help but stare at the golden orbs in front of her. Before Inuyasha knew what was happening her soft lips were pressed to his. His hand came around the back of her head and cradled it. She gripped his shoulder as she felt his other hand sliding up her leg that was draped over his. Her tongue lightly traced his lips before their tongues started to battle. The kiss grew heated as she moved and straddled his waist. Inuyasha sat up and cupped her bottom bringing them closer together. Just as they really started to get into it they heard a low growl come from the room. Inuyasha's ears swiveled trying to find where the nose came from. Kagome just looked down with a blush tinting her face. Slowly he looked at her and gave a soft chuckle. “Was that you?” All she could do was nod her head and meet his gaze. “Should of known you'd be hungry after last night.” He slowly lowered back onto the bed. “Don't worry, we will be finishing this later.” He whispered to her and then went to his dresser. He put a grey t-shirt and a pair of white boxers on the bed before heading to the door. She sat there watching with a little smile on her face. “Take a shower and by the time you get out breakfast will be ready.” He said looking back at her his smile spreading at the sight before him. `I could get used to that.' He thought to himself before going to the kitchen.

 

Kagome quickly grabbed the clothes and went to the bathroom. She loved all of the different shades of deep red and gold that was his room. After starting the shower she stripped off her clothes and stepping into the steam filled space. A loud moan escaped her lips at the hot water worked its magic on her tense muscles. Inuyasha's ear twitched all the way in the kitchen hearing her moan from his room. He felt his pants grow tight again. “That's so not fair.” He said out loud as he started to butter some toast. After her shower was done Kagome put on the clothes Inuyasha gave her. She took a deep breath of the shirt and smile as Inuyasha scent filled her nose. When she stepped out of the bathroom she finally noticed the mural on his wall. Walking over to it Kagome started to run her fingers along the hanyou pinned to the tree. Inuyasha walked in to see her like that. “Who did these murals?” she asked as she looked over to him. “My brother” he set the tray of food down on the bed and walked over to her. “There are only certain apartments that have them I believe. All three of us have one and I believe Kikyo does too.” He said her name with a slight growl. “Sango and I have one in our rooms also.” They walked to bed and she sat down. “Is that Kikyo in your mural?” she said softly and kept her eyes on the painting. “I used to think so” he said never taking his eyes off of her. Their eyes locked as they stared at each other. Finally Kagome spoke. “I have that same tree.” Inuyasha looked from her to the mural. “You have the same picture?” She nodded and also looked at the picture. “Yes except mine is just the tree just like that but with no people.” He didn't know what to say but he was going to ask his brother about it. “You should eat” he placed the tray on her lap as she rested against the headboard. “Thank you” was all he heard before she started nibbling away on the eggs and toast he made her.

 

“So can I hear how I ended up here?” she said in-between bites of toast. “Only if you keep eating.” She gave a nod with a smile and waited for him to start. “I was watching you after I broke up with Kikyo. I saw you drink all those shots and what not. I even had to laugh as I saw Miroku and Sango walk out on the dance floor together.” She listened and would take bites of food when ever he would look at her. “I couldn't believe you had drunk so much when I noticed Naraku at the other end of the bar. I watched as he ordered you another drink which you took, still can't believe you did that. Anyways just you were having trouble standing I was making my way over to you and that's when I noticed Naraku was too.” Kagome's eyes went wide. “It's a good thing I got there first because you didn't even realize that you were being taken out of the club and then I brought you back here to make sure you were okay.” She could just look down at her food as she felt tears well up in her grey eyes. “Thank you, who knows what would of…” her voice trailed off before she fell the tray lift away and was pulled against Inuyasha's chest. “I'd never let him hurt you Kagome.” He whispered into her ear. Kagome wrapped her arms around his waist as she felt him run his fingers through her hair. `God I Love You!' they both thought at the same time.

 

About twenty minutes later there was a pounding on Inuyasha's bedroom door. “Open up this instant I want to see my best friend!” Sango yelled on the other side of the door. They couldn't help but laugh as they heard Miroku trying to calm her. “It's not locked you fools.” Inuyasha said not willing to move from his position with Kagome in his arms. When the other couple walked in they surprised by what they saw. Miroku just gave Inuyasha a lecherous smirk and wrapped his arm around Sango's shoulder. Before anyone said anything the four of them were laughing at each other. “So does that mean you two are dance partners again?” asked Sango as she wiped the tears of joy from her cheeks. “Damn right it does!” Inuyasha growled out. “What if your brother doesn't let me switch back?” she said with worry in her eyes. “Don't worry he will.” Both Miroku and Inuyasha said together. The two couples spent the rest of the day together in the apartment watching movies and having pillow fights when no one could decide on what to have for dinner. Kagome couldn't believe how much fun she was having as she stared at the hanyou next to her.

 

When 12 in the morning rolled around the girls decided that it was time for them to be heading home. “May I walk you home dear Sango?” Miroku asked as he took her by the hand and started to lead her out of the apartment. “Alright but no fishy stuff Miroku.” She said sounding a little hesitant. Kagome and Inuyasha just laughed at they stood from the couch. “Kagome wait…I have something I need to talk to you about.” She looked up at him her grey eyes searching his gold almost afraid of what he was going to say. “Ok I'm listening.” She said and forced a small smile on her face. He gently cupped her face in his hand and ran his thumb along her cheek. “I just want you to know that I have never considered her a toy…” “Inuya…” “Shhh let me finish. I also never want to just use you. I don't know why I tried to push you away when you first got here” he tucked some hair behind her ears. “But I haven't been able to get you off of my mind since.” He watched at her eyes went wide. “Kagome what I am trying to say is…I love you Kagome!” he said watching her face closely. He didn't know what to do when he saw the tears start to form in her beautiful eyes. “I'm sorry I shouldn't have told you but…I just didn't feel like I could keep it in much longer.” His fuzzy ears drooped as he started to take a step back away from her. “I love you too Inuyasha.” She said softly as the tears spilled onto her cheeks. His head snapped up immediately. “What?” was all he could saw before they were kissing each other.

 

He planted light kisses all over her face before looking at her. “Say it again” “I love you Inuyasha.” His smile spread across his face and he lifted her in the air and brought her against his body. Kagome wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed him deeply. He started to walk towards his bedroom when…”Hey we are holding the elevator for you two are you coming?!” yelled Miroku from down the hall. Muffled “shut ups” and “keep it down” were heard from the other apartments. Inuyasha just groaned as Kagome giggled. He let her small frame slide down his body before he kissed her again. They both made their way to the elevator and noticed the disheveled look of both Sango and Miroku's hair. Sango's hand quickly started to fix it when she saw her roommates smirk. The boys reluctantly let the girls at their apartment after many kisses and sweet whispers. Once again Miroku couldn't help the lecherous words that left his mouth as they stepped into the elevator. Kagome was in heaven as she made it to her room and collapsed on her bed. Sango stood at the doorway and watched her. “So are you happy?” she asked a soft smile on her lips. Kagome sat up and looked at her. “He loves me!” Sango's eyes grew wide and she jumped on the bed with her friend. “I am so happy for you!” the girls both continued to laugh and gossip before sleep over took them.

 

The next morning after the girls were done getting ready for class they heard a knocking coming from their front door. When they opened it they saw two grinning guys leaning against the wall. “We thought we'd walk you to class.” Miroku said and took Sango's bag. She wrapped her arm around his and they made their way to the elevator. Kagome stepped out of the apartment and smiled at Inuyasha. Before she could say anything he grabbed her and kissed her softly. She couldn't help but let a little giggle escape as he placed his arm around her shoulders. When they walked into the dance studio everyone stopped and stared. They couldn't believe their eyes when they saw a non-arguing Miroku and Sango and a Kikyo-less Inuyasha with Kagome. They just looked at everyone in the room a little uncomfortable when they heard someone yell. “What the fuck do you think you are doing with my boyfriend?!” yelled Kikyo from behind them. Inuyasha spun and glared at her. “We aren't together anymore Kikyo and don't you talk that way to Kagome!” he growled out and walked away. “It doesn't matter, you are still my dance partner!” she said with a smug look on her face. “Actually Kikyo I have decided to put them back as I originally had them, you with Naraku and Inuyasha with Kagome.” Sesshomaru said from the side of the room. Kikyo fumed as she walked up next to a pissed off Naraku.

 

“Alright class now if you could all step up here and listen to what I have to say we can begin to work on our projects.” Sesshomaru said and leaned up against his desk. Everyone gathered around except Naraku and Kikyo. “I thought you said he was going to be mine?!” she growled out through clenched teeth. “There is still more time, we are just going to have to make our move during the performance!” he said quietly and pretended to pay attention to what their teacher was saying. Kikyo just glared at him. `I will get what is mine! That little bitch is going to pay!' Kikyo thought to herself as she stared at Inuyasha and Kagome. Inuyasha knew Kikyo was watching them but pretended not to notice as he lightly nuzzled Kagome neck. She smile softly and elbowed him so he'd pay attention. After his brother was done speaking everyone sat down with their partners and tried to come up with routine ideas along with music. Kikyo wanted to scream when she saw Kagome reach up and lightly rub Inuyasha's ear. `He NEVER let me touch his ears!' she yelled to herself and swore that Naraku better make sure his plan worked.

 

That night Kagome sat with her back up against Inuyasha chest. He was studying her small hand that was held within his. She smiled up at him. “Hey were you even listening to me?” she asked with a little laugh. “Sorry but no I wasn't wench.” He smiled to himself when he saw her narrow her eyes. “What did you call me?” she said in a low voice. “I called you a wench, what are you going to do about it?” He answered her with a teasing tone. When he thought she wasn't going to do anything he was attacked with a fluffy pillow. “Take that!” she yelled and started to laugh. A small shriek escaped her lips as he pinned her to his bed and started to tickle her. “Do you give?” he said with a smug smile. “Yes…mercy” she said in between pants. He looked down at her and stared. “I can't believe I almost pushed this away.” He said in a soft voice before lower his head and kissing her tenderly. `This is heaven.' He thought to himself as he felt her wrap her arms around his neck and pulled him closer.
