I'm back. Alysha's sleeping peacefuly now. A rare occurance since she's pretty colicy. Anyway if you want details on what she looks like e-mail me, I'm positively bursting with the euphoria of being a new mother and I want to tell anyone who will listen about my beautiful baby girl. But not in a fanfic. So read on if anyone is still paying attention.
Kagome was flabbergasted when Inuyasha held out his hand to her of his own accord. She suspected it was for Kikyo's benefit but that didn't diminish the symbolism. He was choosing her. It was a gesture of finality. He wanted *her*! The look in his eyes confirmed it. She smiled the biggest smile she'd ever smiled in her whole life and took it, holding on for all she was worth.
They walked away with their backs to her, and even when they were out of sight he didn't let go.
"Inuyasha..."
"Keh. Don't speak yet. I need some time still." he smiled weakly at her. She nodded, and he knew she understood. It had been a hard decision for him. A woman he'd loved fifty years ago whom he'd been tricked out of loving, or a girl he'd known and come to care for beyond all reasoning.
But the simple truth of it was- he'd lost Kikyo already. She would never again be the woman he loved. He did *not* want to lose Kagome for a shell. And unlike Kikyo, he trusted Kagome with his life, with his secrets, and with his heart.
The only thing left to do was put these thoughts into words.
Unconciously they ended up back at the hotspring. Abruptly they remembered what had transpired before Inuyasha had left to find Kikyo.
Suddenly, the feeling was back. That empty feeling that gnawed at her and demanded fullfillment. An ache began in her center and spread outward encompassing her entire being.
"Inuyasha, I want you!" Kagome said fervently, then looked down at their clasped hands. With her other she reached up and cupped his face. She struggled on trying to find the right way to say what she wanted. "I've never ever felt this way before. I *need* you. Please make love to me..."
The amber of his eyes ignited and the burning look he gave her said more than any words could. The intensity of his gaze might have been intimidating but for tinge of nervousness in it and the blush staining his profile.
Inuyasha half grinned and cupped her own cheek in a like manner. She leaned into the caress like a kitten seeking comfort. "Are you sure?"
Kagome nodded. "I haven't been more certain of anything in my entire life. Come on" She pulled him over to the edge of the water and began to remove the clothes she'd hastily thrown on. He stopped her.
"Not yet" He kissed her so tenderly it left her breathless and tears sprung to her eyes.
"Inuyasha, I l-"
"Shh, we can talk later" he smirked somewhat suggestively. "Much later."
"You've been around Miroku too long" Kagome sighed sufferingly. But despite her playful attitude a thrill shot through her at his words and her pulse spiked.
Inuyasha muffled a groan. Kagome frowned in alarm. "What?"
"You make me crazy when you do that"
"Do what? I didn't do anything"
"When you smell like that" he amended. "It's been going on for days. I guess it's part of being in heat. I kind of suspected, but when you described how you'd been feeling earlier I was sure. I wonder... It never bothered me this much before. It probably has something to do with the Soul Spell."
"I'm- in heat?" Kagome questioned. 'That certainly explains things, she thought dryly. "Wait, this much? So it did bother you before?"
"Yeah, I *am* half youkai, *dog* youkai. I can smell almost anything going on with you."
"Does that mean you've wanted to do this before?"
"I-"
"Nevermind. Now is important, not then. So I'm in heat. I guess there's only one thing to do." Kagome advanced with a mischievous expression.
Inuyasha involuntarily took a step back and tripped over a protruding rock. He gripped her wrist for purchase, but ended up taking her with him. They landed in the shallow water and started laughing at the drowned rat appearance of the other.
But they weren't laughing for long. Neither knew who initiated it, but one second they were laughing and the next they were kissing. The most passionate kiss they'd yet shared. In a very suggestive position. Inuyasha tangled his hands in her hair to keep her in place and Kagome grasped his hips for the same reason.
And no more words were needed.

How'd you like it. Should I write a lemon next, or leave it up to your imagination. Tell ME!
