There was magic in the moment just before dawn. When the stars begin to fade as the deep blue of night begins to lighten into hues of pinks and purples as the sky begins to awaken with the sun.
It was Inuyasha’s favorite part of the day, when everything was still and there was a quiet anticipation in the air, the promise of the day to come.
A soft whimper broke through the stillness, and the world seemed to quiver with the sound. His lips curved as he let his hand shift, the movement followed by a choked sob from the woman wrapped in his arms.
“Gotta stay quiet Kagome,” he whispered, his voice deep with his own desire as he let his fingers dance against her lower lips, “don’t want anyone coming and finding us.”
“Inu–yaassshhhhaaa…” a broken sigh broke from ruby lips as Kagome’s head fell back against the tree, her ebony hair caught against the bark.
It was also Inuyasha’s favorite part of the day because it was the only part of the day he and his mate had to themselves, and they made sure to take full advantage of it every time they could.
A clawed fingertip pressed against Kagome’s heat, and her fist quickly flew to cover her mouth as a choked cry burst from her lips.
“Fuck I love hearing you Kagome.” Inuyasha panted as he let his finger move more quickly against her, feeling her body start to quiver as her hips writhed against his hand. “As soon as we get back to the village we are dumping the Hentai and Sango with Kaede, and I am taking you away for a fucking week.”
“You… oh kami… won… ahh…” Kagome’s voice broke as her back arched into a whimper. “Inu…”
“You would like that huh Kagome?” Inuyasha’s lips slid against her throat. “A week where it’s just us, no need to hurry, no need to hide.”
“Kami Yes….” Kagome hissed as his teeth teased her skin. “Please…”
“Anywhere you want, as long as there is no one around.” Inuyasha’s voice deepened to a growl as Kagome’s breath began to break.
She was close, and god how he loved to watch her come apart. All of his favorite things revolved around the woman in his arms, his mate for two years, her smile, her scent, the feel of her arms around him…
Kagome’s mouth fell open in a silent scream as her body stilled against him before her hips began to buck.
But his favorite thing of all was her face as she went over the edge again and again.
With a growl his hand slid from her core to her leg, wrapping it around his hip as he lined himself up against her. Her eyes met his as his cock nudged against her entrance, and she caught her bottom lip in her teeth as she shifted just enough for the tip of him to enter her, and he was lost.
“Fuck Kagome…” He snarled as he seated himself to the hilt in her, her body continuing to spasm around him as she came down from her high and was built up at the same time.
“Ah…” She gasped as her hands clutched at his hair, her face falling against his shoulder as he set a quick pace, designed to throw both of them back over the ledge.
“I can’t wait to take my time with you.” He panted as his body surged again and again into hers and the heavenly heat that surrounded him. “To taste every bit of your skin, to hear your every moan. Watch you fall apart again and again before I finally take you.”
“I want… I want to take you too.” Kagome whispered as she bit his shoulder, and the brief pain was all it took for Inuyasha to meet his own release, Kagome following behind him seconds later.
“That…” he panted as he let his head rest against the tree behind her, “was the hottest fucking thing you have ever said.”
“Hmmm, meant it too.” Kagome turned her head slightly to place a soft kiss on his neck. “Can’t let you have all the fun.”
“Feh, it seemed to me like you were having fun today.” Inuyasha smiled as he shifted her weight and reluctantly pulled himself from her haven.
“I always do.” Kagome sighed as she smiled at him and traced his cheek with her hand. “But I want to see you fall apart too.”
“Keh, make it two weeks then, just us.” Inuyasha’s lips curved into a true smile, one he reserved only for Kagome.
“That sounds…” Kagome’s words trailed off as Inuyasha’s ears suddenly sprang to attention, flicking about at a sound she could not hear. “What is it?” Her leg shifted to the ground as she pushed herself off the tree.
“Feh, damn Miroku woke up early,” Inuyasha growled, “and he’s heading this way.”
“How close is he?”
“He’ll be here in… fuck…”
A sound in the brush caught Kagome’s attention and she realized Miroku was MUCH closer than she had thought. Her eyes went wide when she suddenly realized…
They were both absolutely naked… and their clothes were down by the river.
“They are down by the river Shippo.” Miroku’s voice carried through the still air as Kagome tried to calculate the time it would take to get to the river and get their clothes.
“I don’t think so, Miroku.” Inuyasha heard Shippo respond, and what sounded like little paws being dragged against leaves. At least the kit had sense enough not to want to come towards the…
“Nonsense. I know I heard Kagome this way,” Kagome groaned as she heard him say that, “it sounded like she was in pain, which means something may have happened to Inuyasha.”
“Miroku, I’m telling you they aren’t.” Shippo protested again, the voices quickly becoming louder, followed by a soft growling meow. “See, even Kirara is agreeing with me. MIROKU WILL YOU STOP? SANGO SANGO!”
Seconds before Miroku tumbled into the clearing, dragging Shippo and Kirara behind him, Kagome felt an arm wrap around her waist and then her world was covered in green.
“Fucking pervert.” Inuyasha muttered as his hand covered Kagome’s mouth as he held her against him, covered by the branch and thick foliage of the tree. “Get him out of here Kirara.”
A soft twist of Kirara’s ear was the only sign she heard him, but a moment later she transformed into her full size and grabbed Miroku’s robes in her mouth, stopping him in his tracks.
“Kirara, what… our allies need help.” Miroku jerked at his robe, even as the full size fire cat pulled him the opposite direction.
Inuyasha watched the slow progress of the tug of war between cat and man carefully, noting every foot that Kirara was dragging Miroku, now with Shippo’s help, away from the tree he and Kagome sat in.
His attention was so focused on the battle below that he was caught unaware when Kagome suddenly began to kick against him, her leg flailing at something. Her voice was muffled behind his hand, thankfully, or he knew that they would have been found, and he lifted her closer, pulling her against his chest further just as she kicked out, knocking him off balance and into the trunk of the tree.
A loud yelp broke from Inuyasha’s lips as he felt a sharp stab in the left side of his ass. With a snarl he turned, his arms dropping from Kagome as he grabbed the branch he had landed on and pulled it out of his skin as Kagome tried to scramble behind him, her frantic “get it off get it off get it off” loud in the air.
It took both a moment to realize there were no sounds below them, and with a groan Inuyasha looked towards the ground below, his amber eyes meeting amused blue below him.
“Ah, yes, well, it would seem they are not in any danger.” Miroku chuckled as Shippo let his forehead meet his hand.
“Shows what you know.” Kagome muttered, and Inuyasha shifted his gaze to glare at, of all things, a giant beetle that was scurrying away as quickly as its legs would take it.
“Can we just go back to camp now?” Shippo sighed, his gaze locked on the ground as he and Kirara began to tug the chuckling Miroku back the way they had come.
With a groan Inuyasha slid down to sit (carefully) against the branch, Kagome still wrapped in his arms.
“A month sounds pretty good about now.” Kagome whispered as she buried her face against his neck, the warmth of her skin against him a sign of her embarrassment.
“Keh, no complaints here.”
Inuyasha grumbled as he held his mate close and let her pulse return to normal, watching as the sky gave way to the full brightness of day.
Mornings had been his favorite time of day, but now that was forever ruined by the hentai monk, a sharp branch and a damned beetle.
Kagome finally began to relax, her body curving into his as she let out a little sigh, not her “I’m stressed” or her “sit” sigh, but a sigh of contentment and he let his lips curve, even as he shifted his weight away from his sore butt.
Who was he kidding, any time he got to spend with Kagome was his favorite time of the day. He tilted her head up until her eyes met his as he gave her a small smile before leaning down to place a gentle kiss on her lips.
No, they wouldn’t have the mornings anymore, not after that, but they would have the evenings after everyone had fallen asleep.
And he knew she was just as stunning under the moonlight as she was in the soft shades of morning.
