Warnings: Naughty words and hints at naughty thoughts and actions
Universe: Takes place in my AU world of "Ride On!" - thus, there are many mentions of horses and riding and living in the country (in America, even)
1. Pail
Kagome wiped the sweat from her brow as she bent to lift yet another filled-to-the-brim water pail; she was pleasantly surprised to see InuYasha reach for it and easily heft it away.
2. River
She’d told him she didn’t think Cherokee would take to swimming very well, but he didn’t listen and found himself floating in the river instead.
3. Cotton
“Cotton breathes,” she’d told him; fuck that, with her clothes so clingy, he wasn’t able to draw breath anyway!
4. Jungle
InuYasha always took Kagome for a city girl, and was surprised to learn she’d love to catalog undiscovered flower species in the jungle.
5. Determined
Kagome was determined to ignore him as she stared ahead; ignoring him pissed him off more than yelling.
6. Taupe
Kagome insisted Ginger was “taupe-colored” but he had no fucking clue what she meant…
7. Cookie
“Do you want a dog biscuit for your troubles?” she snapped, cringing a little as she realized belatedly what she had said.
8. Baboon
InuYasha snickered, “You wave that damn crop like a monkey with a stick.”
9. Rice
He was surprised when she brought onigri with her for lunch one day; he shouldn’t have been, he knew, but for a moment, he felt like he was home.
10. Brandish
She brandished her weapon with ease; within seconds, he was soaked from head to toe, and she dropped the hose to run.
11. Lollipop
If he had to watch her suck on that damn thing any longer, he was either going to rip it out of her hands or give her something else to suck on…
12. Cringe
Okay, so he had stepped the line; it wasn’t often he cowered, but she was really damn scary today!!
13. Moan
She woke up panting, his breathy moans still echoing in her ears… wait, why was she dreaming of him?!
14. Maybe
Sesshoumaru was determined to bring those two together; “maybe” wasn’t an option, in his mind.
15. Poison
She was his heartbeat when she smiled and he could drink her laughter like water; her tears, though, ate away at him like poison until he was sick to his stomach.
16. Fawn
He didn’t understand why Kagome was so upset; the girls fawned over him, but he never flirted back!
17. Lock
It still smelled of her, the bit of hair he had snipped the one time he had foolishly let his guard down and held her close…
18. Agile
InuYasha was damn surprised such a lumbering creature could be so agile; from his first moment on horseback, he loved it.
19. Curb
He needed her, she’d wanted him… and he’d basically kicked her to the curb - so what?
20. Miserable
Okay, so he was fucking miserable about it, and she was too… but it was for the best, wasn’t it?
21. Zombie
Kagome squealed and clutched his arm and he rolled his eyes, “Who the hell freaks out at ‘Dawn of the Dead’?”
22. Foundation
A relationship was a solid foundation for a future business opportunity; if those two couldn’t get it right, somebody would be gutted.
23. Torch
Kagome had carried a torch for him for so long without really realizing it… could she do anything to salvage their friendship now?
24. Cascade
He stood entranced as her hair tumbled down her back; cascading strands of ebony he wanted to badly to run his fingers through again…
25. Aviary
“In the aviary,” he spat sarcastically, nose already twitching, “it’s a fucking henhouse and everybody knows it!”
26. Orchard
Kagome was a little bruised from their impromptu game of “apple tag” in the orchard, but it was worth it to see him rush to “her rescue” like that.
27. Prison
Being stuck with him would be tantamount to a prison sentence, he believed; it was a world of being on the outside looking in - never part of one or the other.
28. Hoof
As he clutched himself, he wondered if his testicles could survive such a slamming blow from horse hoof.
29. Learn
Kagome was intrigued by his hanyou heritage; she researched everything she could on the subject, hoping to learn more about him.
30. Fencing
The scent of Kagome’s blood came from beyond the pasture; apparently, some wire fencing had gotten loose and snapped her across the arm.
31. Love
“Okay, fine, I fucking love her!” he shouted, unable to keep his voice down, “But that doesn’t mean I’m going to do anything about it!”
32. Fey
He was a fey creature, she decided; not ugly or half-formed or a half-breed or anything… she preferred “supernatural” and “otherworldly”.
33. Jump
Kagome cringed as she fell, knowing the moment Ginger refused the jump that it would hurt; it didn’t, he caught her, and she nearly cried from the concern he showed.
34. Child
InuYasha hated her questions about his childhood, they always made him seem gloomy when in truth, it wasn’t his fault!
35. Allow
“I will not allow you to harm my daughter again,” Mr. Higurashi lectured the poor teen.
36. Agitate
Kagome shook the feed mixture harshly, anger suffusing her face, “We wouldn’t have to give Cherokee these supplements if you’d been taking care of him properly!”
37. Prosper
InuYasha watched Miroku’s relationship prosper with a sort of bitterness: he felt great for his first real friend, but knew he’d never have the same luck.
38. Horrible
“Wait, they beat you?” Kagome shrieked, “How in the world can people be so horrible to a child?!”
39. Fate
It was his fate, he knew, to meet his mate so young; the kami hated him and obviously wanted him to suffer for a long fucking time.
40. Shit
“Wait, she’s here? Now?” InuYasha clutched his head. “Shit.”
41. Hangover
Both reeled as they stared at each other… a hang-over wouldn’t give them illusions of the other, next to them… naked… would it?
42. Key
Her looks were great; her attitude was annoying, but her scent was the main thing that drew him to her: it was perfect.
43. Holster
InuYasha watched Kagome slip the gun back in its holster and wondered where she’d learn to shoot… and why.
44. Apathy
He tried pretending she wasn’t supposed to be his; but he couldn’t fake apathy, so he forced anger, instead.
45. Protect
Kagome was his to protect, damn it, whether she fucking liked it or not!
46. Indite
He wondered why she used big words at school: he didn’t indite the stupid poem - he wrote it!
47. Disservice
Introducing him to alcohol had done InuYasha no disservice, Miroku insisted… it was only that Kagome had been there as well, that caused such a problem.
48. Tilt
When InuYasha saw those sleepy blue eyes peek awake at him, and then glaze over in horrified confusion, he felt his world tip over on its axis.
49. Lemonade
“A little bit of lemonade never hurt anybody,” she slurred happily, waving her injured arm around with abandon.
50. Mimic
Well, if he was going to ignore what had happened, she could do it too… even if it would nearly kill her to do so.
