Chapter One: Memory of a Kiss
~~~~~~~~~~
She felt so tired and exhausted. She had felt this way after their last encounter also. She fell into bed and was instantly asleep, her dreams that night tortured her as they had before.
~~~~~
Cool fingers traced their way from her bare hip to her throat, shooting off sparks in her brain. She sighed in contentment and leaned into the touch. Lips followed the hand, and she let her hands find the long silky hair of her lover as they kissed in the dark.
~~~~~
A light flashed suddenly, and she was sitting up all alone in her bedroom, covered in sweat and disoriented.
"What the heck? What was that?" she asked herself aloud to the cold empty room. She chanced a glance at the clock. 6:30 am Saturday morning. Light was beginning to show outside her window. That must have been what had awakened her from the dream. As it was, the whole episode was beginning to fade from her memory already.
She got up and dressed, combing out her long black hair as she dried it on the balcony of her small apartment in the city. It was when she had just finished that she caught sight of the familiar car that pulled into the lot by the building that she remembered what had really happened the night before, with Inuyasha, in that car. She smiled at the thought of his kiss, and scowled at the memory of it getting out of hand too quickly.
~~~~~
The night had been dark, and Inuyasha had given Kagome a ride home again. He was worried about her walking home in the dark so late at night alone. There was a strange energy in the air and it seemed to make everyone act a little different. He had kissed her before, yes, but this time it was not like the previous ones. This was no light touch on the cheek like she had expected from her best friend. He had taken her mouth with his; tilting her head up and sliding his hands into her silky hair then down her back holding her closer. She surprised herself by not stopping him, by responding and placing her hands on his chest where she could feel his heart beat a crazy rhythm in time with her own. The kiss had ended, and neither of them said anything. Kagome got out of the car and walked to the door of her apartment building, going in and flying up the 4 flights of stairs to her small bedroom, where she watched him drive away. Only after the brake lights of the car were out of sight did she realize just how tired she was.
~~~~~
She opened the door at the sound of the doorbell.
"I didn't expect to see you today… oh…" The short hallway was empty, and the door to the stairs clicked softly shut. Leaving the door open, she ran to the window. She saw him go to the car, open the door, and then look up at her window, even though she knew he could not see her because of the curtain. As he got in the car and drove away, Kagome turned back to the open apartment door and her eyes fixed on what was on the floor. A sheet of white paper was in the exact center of the hallway. She picked it up, shut the door, and walked in a daze back into the bedroom, where she sat down and read what the note had to say.
~~~
Kagome
We need to talk.
8 p.m. Monday.
Inuyasha
~~~
She agreed in her head that, yes, they did need to talk, especially about what had been happening lately. She didn't know how long she sat there, clutching the paper to her heart.
~~~~~
She opened her eyes to darkness. A strong arm encircled her waist, and she rested her forehead against his naked shoulder. His other hand was combing through her hair, down her back. His lips were at her temple and she could feel his warm breath on her skin as his fingers ran down her spine. Her hands traveled across his back, and he drew her even closer to him.
~~~~~
Her eyes snapped open. The sun was high in the sky; it couldn't be much past noon. She looked desperately around the room, not sure what she wanted to see. Then her eyes fell on the paper on the floor, crumpled. She slowly picked up the paper, read over it once more, and almost whispered to herself.
"Yes. We certainly need to talk."
