Here is something a little new. And just as an FYI, I have not abandoned Blizzard, but am taking a break to find that stupid train. It left me January somewhere in Mexico, so when I find it, I promise to update. The next chappie is halfway done anyway. So please accept this as something to read in the meantime.

Inuyasha is human in this ficlet, but still belongs to Rumiko Takahashi. I'm not so sure about Myoga (jk), but he is also human.

Enjoy! ^_^

"Have a good night's sleep, Inuyasha-sama. You have been very restless lately." The old servant whispered at the door way.

"You can leave now, Myoga."

With a single bow before he left, the older man slid the door shut behind him. Inuyasha watched the light glide across the paper walls, but refused to even breathe until the heavy footsteps were no longer heard. His eyelids were drooping, but there was nothing that could make him lie down on his bedding for sleep just yet. True, he had a long day, but nothing less than a knock to the head could make him reach unconsciousness before—

A soft rap sounded on the wooden frame of the door. His entire previous drowse forgotten, Inuyasha called softly, "Come in."

The door moved slowly, allowing his sight to catch the head of raven locks he had been waiting for, the moon allowing just enough light to see where she was, but not her features. She shut the door just as smoothly behind her and crept across the room to bow next to the Lord's futon.

"You didn't need to knock, baka. What if someone heard you?" He whispered harshly as he cupped her chin to look her in the eye.

"I wanted to be sure my Lord was not asleep."

"Cut the crap, Kagome. You know I never sleep if I'm waiting for you."

His hand lowered from her chin, skimming her neck and chest with his fingertips, stopping just as he reached the folded hands on her lap. The calloused fingers on her Lord no longer surprised her as she had often seen him train with his sword in the yard. However, her body could not help but become excited when he pulled a hand from her grasp and tugged gently in his direction.

"Wouldn't you rather I let you sleep? I know how busy your day was," her voice shook with her shudders, but Kagome didn't hesitate to climb onto his lap, straddling his hips.

This left her in perfect position for him to kiss her, and he did, placing his hands on her hips, while he tried to get her to allow entry tonight.

He pulled away once he felt her reluctance in her lips. "No. I don't need sleep with you right here." To prove his point, he began to move his palms up and down her sides, making her shiver with delight.

"Alright," her words came out between muffled gasps and moans as Inuyasha busied himself with the collar of her kimono, "but it… ahh… won't be my fault if--if… you fall asleep… at the meeting…t- tomorrow." By now, he had pulled it just enough that the chest wrappings were exposed, and he kissed and licked his way around her now uncovered shoulders.

"Whatever. Whether I listen to them or not is my trouble, and if I just agree to see them it should be good enough." He curved his spine to pass his lips even lower on her body, but just as he was about to press a soft kiss to her breast, she placed her hands on either side of his head, just above his ears to bring attention back to her face.

"Please don't... You promised." The chocolate brown of her eyes were light enough in the dark to see them get sad with unshed tears.

Inuyasha pulled away quickly, sighing, "I know… I'm sorry, Kagome. My intentions were misplaced."

There was always something wrong when he began speaking to her so formally. To make amends, she wrapped her arms around him to bring him closer for a kiss. It started out as innocent as the others, but after a moment of feeling his lack of enthusiasm, she opened her mouth and nibbled on his lower lip before sucking on it like he often did for her. At the feel, he pulled her closer, and threw himself into the kiss, adding to the heat exponentially. After a few minutes of gasping for breath between meeting their lips again, he pulled away and rested his forehead on her shoulder, resisting the temptation to kiss the covered feminine flesh in view.

"We have to stop now. Otherwise I won't be able to hold myself back." He lifted his head again to meet her eyes, wishing that there was anything he could do to keep going.

"Hai, Inuyasha-sama. You need your sleep, and I know where I belong." She lifted herself off his legs, but just as she was about to leave, a hand pulled her to a stop, and she turned to see his violet eyes begging her.

"Stay?" The Lord always ordered for anything he wanted or needed, so him actually softening his tone for a request always caught her off guard, as she had only seen him do the same for his mother.

She closed her eyes from the sight before he could change her mind further, but when she sensed the area and found no one near, she knew it was for her benefit too.

"As you wish. But I have to leave. I do not want to have to make up a story again as to why I'm in your room in the morning."

Nodding his understanding, she lay on the bedding beside him, and he arranged his arms around her waist comfortably to pull her close and smell the scent of wildflowers on her skin. Within a few minutes, his deep breaths signaled his deep sleep, and Kagome knew that she couldn't put off her departure anymore. They were lucky no one came to his room this night and found them out.

She righted the kosode he had pulled out of place earlier and got up carefully from his bed so as not to wake him. The everlasting loneliness he left lingering after he touched her began as soon as she shut the door behind her. For some reason, she knew that she should bow her head wandering the halls after the shameful acts that were committed on her behalf, but after such a meeting, she felt more fulfilled than embarrassed. Though, as proud as she felt internally, it didn't mean that she stupid enough to not stop by the shrine to the kami on her way back to her room in the castle.

The way she behaved with the Inuyasha meant that her spirit needed to be cleansed before she began her purifying duties in the morning. After all, a priestess was not worth anything if she could not nurse the sick or purify a rabid demon. She just considered herself lucky that kami had not punished her improper behavior by taking away her abilities. But even if they did, then it would only help her stay with him, as an ordinary woman and not just as a priestess of Musashi.

So what do you think? I was inspired after reading some of Desenchanter's fabulous work. Please go check out her stuff if you like AU Inu/Kag or Inu/Kik fanfics.

I might just leave it as is, because there really isn't a huge story, but I can stretch some more out of this plot bunny for a two-shot if I get enough reviews. Otherwise, thanks for reading, and please leave me your thoughts!
