Chapter 10

They entered the empty apartment laughing together. The baby once again, asleep. It seemed like all she ever did was sleep. They set her down on the recliner again, and sat down on the couch together.

Inuyasha went down, pulling her onto his lap. She giggled merrily. "What a hectic day!" She exclaimed. "My head is killing me."

He smiled genuinely, and kissed her on the forehead. "Better?"

she grinned. "Much."

His smile faded, as he looked into her eye. And then he covered her lips with his. All her thoughts went out the window as he pulled all her attention to him, the heat coursed through her veins at his touch, which was centered somewhere around her waist.

He pushed her backwards to lie on the couch, and started trailing kisses down her neck, as her hands tangled into his hair.

Suddenly he pulled away, and sat up. staring off into space with misty eyes in the dark apartment. As the sun had started to fall into the horizon.

Kagome sat up to, confused, and put a hand on his shoulder. "What is it? What's wrong?" She asked.

He just shook his head. Closing his eyes, and a tear trailed down his cheek. The girl was amazed, she'd only ever seen him cry once before.

"What is it Inuyasha? Is it... not like you remembered?" She asked, fearing the answer above all else.

"No!" He said quickly. "It's just... it's been a long time. And there are things... you need to know first." He said slower. "Things that, could make you regret trusting me."

Kagome froze. Would she get to find out what the mistake was? She tightened her hold on his shoulder. "You can tell me anything my love. And I'll always trust you."

He wouldn't look at her. And she could hear his heavy breathing loud in her ear. "It was a long time ago. In New York. About, I don't know, thirty or forty years back. I got drunk. Really drunk and..." He trailed off, and winced. He was actually shaking.

He was scaring her. She'd never seen him like this before. She hoped she'd never have to. but it made her feel good inside that he willing to share this moment with her. Where all his defenses were down, and he was crying. "It's okay. Just keep going."

"I was drunk, but that's no excuse. I was lonely, and I missed you. It was about a week after the mooner landing, and I knew I was so close to finding you. But you were still out of my grasp. At a bar, a girl came onto me. And in my drunken mind, she looked like you. The events of that night will forever haunt me. And I'm so sorry, I never meant for it to happen. I barely even remember any of it, but I remember enough to know, that that night could destroy us." He whispered, in a shaking, weak voice. So unlike his usual drawl. "That's what Yustsuyu was talking about. That's what he was gonna tell you. But I promise, that was the truth, and that it'll never happen again."

Kagome's eyes had filled with tears the moment he'd said he was lonely. And now they were flowing down either side of her face with a ferocity. Inuyasha smelled them and winced, before pulling her into his arms. "I'm so sorry. I promise, it'll never happen again, and I'd die without you. I can't bare the thought of my life without you. Please, forgive me. I know I don't deserve it but-"

"You're rambling." She cut in. "And I can't stand the thought of life without you either." She whispered. Then sighed, wiping her face. "It's okay. I understand. You were drunk, and made a mistake. It's okay. I trust you. Remember?" She whispered again.

He smiled. And hugged her tighter. "Yea, I remember."

She pulled back and looked up at him again. Her eyes shinning brightly, a spark of passion extremely noticeable.

He covered her mouth in his again, with double the passion as before. pushing her back down on the couch as he did so.

And they made love late into the night. Finally reunited, after so many years of waiting. That all started with a promise for the future in the dead of night.
