InuYasha/Kagome

Rated: T

Inspiration: You Guys! However this chapter is incredibly short and most of you may not like it. Though I hope you do. I 'm in the mist of getting a job so I haven't really had time to update and well since this is technically the LAST chapter of Speak Now...

Chapter 15: Mine

I was a flight risk with a fear of falling

Wondering why we bother with love if it never last

I say, "Can you believe it?"

Us, we're lying on a couch

She couldn't believe what had happened.

No-she could believe it. She just didn't expect it to work.

She smiled brightly as she watched the love of her life sleep peacefully on her apartment couch. His hair was messy and flared about him wildly, and she fought the urge to giggle at his face. His mouth was wide open, his nose twitched ever so slightly and his ears drooped onto his head. His eyes-partially- closed looked as if they were rolled to the back of his head, and she shook her head at him.

Sure, he was clearly no sleeping beauty, but she never felt as happy as she was at this moment. She stretched a bit and decided if she would wake him up so that they could talk about the situation properly or to just snuggle back into him. She smirked and laid back down onto his chest, giggling, when his arm came around her and squeezed tightly. She sighed happily and snuggled even closer, loving this moment with him.

Wrapping her arm around him, she smiled as she recalled the first time he had placed his arms around her; other than at the dance. She had never felt that way before and she now knew she never would.

Flashback

She sat down softly on the beach that Saturday morning after the dance. She couldn't lie and say that it was the worst experience she had ever had neither. Dancing with InuYasha placed her on cloud nine and she was sure that was a high she never wanted to come down from.

She smiled goofily and playfully scolded herself for being silly. Guys like InuYasha don't date girls like her; shy girls that were afraid to take risk and be careless for a change. She wasn't a rebel. Ha, far from it. She was a good girl, she followed all the rules, obeyed all of her elders, she was even a teacher's pet!

No he wouldn't look twice at girls like her and yet he spent his hold night with her. He danced with her the whole night and didn't complain or anything. Maybe, just maybe, he would go for a girl like her.

She was so caught up in her thinking that she failed to notice when a body flopped down next to her on the sand. She jumped startled at the sound and looked to see the one person who had been occupying her thoughts all day long,

"I-InuYasha?"

He smirked, "That would be my name" He laid back on the towel that had 'magically' appeared and peered up at her, "Why are you on the beach alone?"

She froze. She couldn't tell him that she had wandered here by accident thinking about him all morning. She bit her lip and turned to him, her breath catching in her throat. He was even more gorgeous than she imagined. He wore blood red trucks with black flames edged up the side, and a black beanie that covered his adorable ears. She willed herself not to look at his chest, but he sat and her eyes locked onto him. She felt hot all of a sudden. He had a large tattoo stretched across his left chest and wrapped around his left arm. The tattoo consisted of multiple swirls and kanji writing that she didn't understand but she thought it looked sexy. Oh God, didn't he ask her a question?

"Uh…I-" What could she say that wouldn't make her sound like a total goody goody?, "I needed to take a walk to clear my head"

Smooth.

"Clear your head? This was a far walk, I hope you cleared it"

She nodded, "Uh yeh, I did"

He sat up suddenly and stared at the water before him, "When I was little I used to go into the forest and climb up the Goshinku Tree." He chuckled softly, "I fell off so many times and yet, I get on still to this day. I don't know it just seems as though something is pulling me there ya know?"

Kagome blushed when he turned to look at her and but her lip, gnawing on the tender flesh. InuYasha felt himself heat up at the innocent action and carefully ran a finger across her lips, parting them in the process. Kagome could do nothing but stare wide eyed at the man before her and out of instinct she pulled back and pressed her lips together.

That did NOT just happen.

InuYasha smirked at the innocent action and carefully and slowly placed his arm around her to pull her close, chuckling, "You sure are a shy one"

Kagome didn't respond. The feel of his arm wrapped around her shoulder shocked to her very core. She couldn't believe that InuYasha Takahashi had placed his arm around her, Kagome Higurashi of all people. Was she being Punk'ed?

No, she shook her head softly, this was very real. He was very real. The emotion that she felt and saw was also very real. And she was positive that they would last for a lifetime.

End Flashback

She giggled softly into her hand as she recalled that moment. Kami was she such a prude. Although after that day, he couldn't stop touching her. At school, while she was at her locker, he'd brush pass her, 'accidentally' grazing her shoulder then to apologize he'd ruffle her hair or place his arm around her once more. She smiled as she looked down at him still sleeping so peacefully. She shook her head once. How could he sleep so peacefully after dumping his fiancé, and being back with her so quickly? Then again, He always had a knack for getting over things quickly; truly a rebel of his time.

She snorted softly; that didn't seem like the case anymore. He was far from the InuYasha that she used to know but she didn't mind getting to know him again. Hell after three years of waiting she'd be damned if she let something-anything-stand between her and this man beneath her.

Leaning down she giggled like a bad school girl as she kissed his neck not once but twice to gauge a reaction out of him: nothing. Smirking to herself, she licked the sensitive area gently before softly sucking the skin causing it to redden. He stirred lightly and she smiled.

InuYasha stirred slightly when he felt soft lips caress his neck and opened his eyes to find Kagome smiling brightly. He smiled as well knowing that this was not the many dreams that he had but the real deal. His heart pounding wildly in his chest and before she could utter a word his lips were upon hers.

He smiled lightly into the kiss as her tiny fingers dug into his shoulders bringing him closer and a soft mewl of pleasure escaped her parted lips. He grinned knowing that he was the only one to do those things to her, and he would continue to. He would never leave her again. She was his everything and all that he had ever wanted. He would be stupid to leave her.

He pulled away from her, loving the dazed expression on her face, and seat up with her secured in his lap. This was how it should have been-how it could have been if he hadn't been so stupid. He placed his chin on her shoulder and sighed sadly, He caused her so much pain, heartache, and sorrow. He would spend the rest of his life making it up to her.

He remembered a time, 4 years ago to be exact, when they had the biggest fight of the century and he was about to lose her.

Flashback

"Where the hell were you!"

InuYasha snorted and placed his jacket on the hook left of the door. He and Kagome had gotten an apartment less than three months ago, and so far things had been great until today. It was 2:30 am; he had gotten off at 10 but decided to go to the bar with Miroku since Kagome had already been in a bad mood. He sighed, thinking that maybe that wasn't the best idea but he couldn't help it.

He looked at his girlfriend of four years and noticed with twinge of guilt that she had been crying. He cursed silently and walked towards her. She flinched when he reached out to touch her and he growled. Why the hell was she flinching? She couldn't be scared of him…could she?

"Kagome?"

"Why didn't you call?"

He opened his mouth and closed it. Why hadn't he called; even he didn't know, but now he knew the results of his careless actions. She was worried about him, had stayed up to wait on him, and he hadn't even thought to call her and tell her he was going to be late.

Kagome looked at him sadly and laughed bitterly, "Don't tell me…you were out with Tsubaki again huh?"

His eyes flashed a dangerous red and he sped towards her and gripped her shoulders, "Why the fuck would you think I would be out with her?"

He was angry now. How dare she assume that he had been with another woman, when he only had eyes for her, his heart only yearned for her. Didn't she get it?

He could sense her anger, hurt, and fear, but she glared at him and whispered, "It wouldn't be the first time"

He growled loudly and gripped her tighter, "That was three fucking years ago Kagome! I would never cheat on you!"

"You said that three years ago!"

This insufferable woman was going to be the death of him. He growled lowly but stopped when she slumped against him and the salty smell of tears hit his nose. He frowned and looked at her, bt she refused to look at him. Inside, his heart broke again as he witnessed his beautiful girlfriend cry, and he wanted nothing more than to stop it. He hated when she cried.

"I-I can't do this anymore InuYasha"

She couldn't- "What are you talking about?"

She shook herself out of his grasp and walked to the bedroom and knelt by the bed. She knew he would follow her, he always did. However she felt that this time was different, she figured that he would leave her and she'd find herself in a loveless relationship as that of her parents and she'd be alone forever. She sobbed loudly at the thought of him leaving her.

InuYasha watched with heartache, and his ears drooped down on his head as he knelt beside her, "Kagome" She didn't respond, "Kagome look at me"

She did, and his heart broke a little more. He took a deep breath and said, "I'll never leave you alone." He eyes went wide as he continued with a small smile, "I remember how it felt sitting by the water and every time I look at you it's like that first time." He took her hand in his and kissed it, "I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter and she is the best thing that's ever been mine" With that said he kissed her deeply and soundly, determined to never hurt her like that again.

End Flashback

"Inu, what were you thinking about?"

InuYasha turned, "Huh? Oh nothing just the old days ya know?"

She smiled and snuggled into him, "Yeah I know. I can't believe how much you've changed"

He smiled and kissed her cheek, "Keh, it's cause you made me better"

"Did I now?"

"Don't go on thinking you're the shit now"

She giggled and grinned at him, "It's okay, you made me better to"

InuYasha turned her so she was straddling him and smirked, "Did I now?"

"Unlike you I can admit it"

"Keh, I ain't deny it"

She rolled her eyes and kissed him gently, "Even still. You are the best thing that's ever been mine"

"No Kagome, you are the best thing that will always be mine"
