Day 2: Loyalty / Purple

#inukag week #inukag week day 2

Kagome traced her finger along the jagged purple lines adoring Inuyasha's cheekbones. The first time she'd seen his demon markings, obvious signs of his parentage to anyone who knew what to look for, she'd been too scared to really give them much attention. Those first few transformations had been so quick, so chaotic. The last thing she'd thought of was to admire the shade and shape of his stripes. As soon as they'd appeared people told her to run. Even Inuyasha told her to leave.

She didn't then and she wouldn't now.

Honestly, she didn't think she could even if she wanted to. Her legs were tangled up with his and felt like they were absolute jelly. She stared up into her lover's eyes, the red receding with each breath as he slowly regained his postcoital composure. She watched as his fangs retreated, and his irises returned to their usual warm amber. The stripes on his cheeks and hips were always the last to fade away.

Under all the colorful decorations he was still her Inuyasha; just more.

More powerful. More primal. More impulsive.

She was drawn back into the moment as he began to retract his hips to drag himself out of her. She swiftly hooked her leg around his, holding him in place.

"Please?"

He nodded once, a soft smile spreading across his face. He allowed himself to melt down on top of her, he was so light despite his strength, and nuzzled his nose into the crook of her neck. She began to slowly run her fingers through his silky soft hair. It was unfair, really, that his hair was always so soft and tangle free. After a moment, she heard his breathing even out into a slow, steady rhythm. He'd fallen asleep.

Nope, she absolutely wasn't going anywhere.
