SUMMARY: Kagome finally convinces to get Inuyasha in front of the camera to participate in a video and the hanyou can't help but feel out of his element.

*If you want to read the original fic that this universe it's based on, check out the story 'Hit The Like Button' for more context*

Already, he was uncomfortable. There was no one else but the two of them in the room, but knowing that he would be needing to talk to a camera made him uncomfortable, "I don't know how you do this shit for a living," he stated, able to see himself in the monitor as Kagome hit the record button on the camera. Inuyasha's chair was lower than Kagome's, making it easier for them to be in the frame together.

"It gets easier the more times you do it," Kagome replied as she walked around to take a seat beside her boyfriend, "Move to the right a little," she stated, watching as Inuyasha compiled by moving just an inch towards her, "Come closer to me, this is supposed to be a cute video. We're supposed to like each other."

Rolling his eyes, he scooted the chair closer by another inch or so, suddenly watching as Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed a kiss to his cheek, "Better," she praised before going back to sitting normally in her seat, "You gotta look at the camera, not the monitor," she explained, already noticing that was where his gaze was drawn to.

"How am I supposed to look at the camera when there's no one here. At least with the monitor, I can make sure I don't look like an idiot," he stated, gesturing to the monitor as if she didn't know what she was talking about.

"If you look at the monitor it'll look like you're looking to the bottom corner of the screen, instead of the people watching," she explained, gripping his chin playfully and turning it to look straight at the camera, "I'll cover it, if you keep looking," she scolded, seeing a disgruntled look on her boyfriend's face, his cheeks squished forward detracted from the seriousness of it.

"You're lucky I'm even here, Kagome. I don't know how to do shit like this," he explained before feeling his girlfriend press a kiss to his lips.

"I know, and I appreciate that you're doing this for me."

Releasing his face, he gave her a scowl, though it didn't mean much, "You better not keep any of that in," he warned, only to see Kagome smile at him sweetly and nod.

"Of course, babe."

She was only telling half of the truth. There would be some that would be kept in, but nothing that she knew he would be extremely uncomfortable with. Grabbing a sticky note from her desk, she placed it over where Inuyasha's face would be on the monitor, "There, now you can't be distracted."

Glaring towards her, Inuyasha was only given a cheeky smile in response, "I'm gonna start us off, okay?" Nodding, Inuyasha acknowledged her. This wasn't new to him, he could hear her whenever she did so; her apartment wasn't that large, and sometimes he just didn't want to make his way home, so he'd make himself comfortable at her place for the day, even if she was working. Straightening herself, she gave her regular greeting, "Hey friends, welcome back to my channel! My name's Kagome, and today we have a very special guest with us," gesturing to the silver-haired man sitting beside her, "This is my boyfriend Inuyasha, say hi."

Weird didn't cut it. They weren't talking to anyone but a camera. It was like they were playing pretend and Inuyasha felt so out of his element that it a hard to fake the sense of discomfort on his face. If it hadn't been Kagome asking him to do this, he wouldn't have ever even given a second's worth of thought towards doing anything like this. Peering towards her with uncertainty for a moment, he looked back towards the camera and gave a wave, "Hi."

She could tell he was uncomfortable, but he'd finally agreed to do this with her and he wasn't about to back out now, "And today we're going to be doing 'the Boyfriend Tag', but I'll be answering the questions too, so I guess it's more of 'the Couple Tag'."

Inuyasha didn't know where to look, opting to look at Kagome as she spoke before alternating to look at his hands and back up to her, "And basically what that means is-" Kagome continued, "I'm going to read through some of these questions and we're going to answer." All her boyfriend could do was nod in acknowledgment, straightening himself and stretching his neck, as if it were just something to do. Turning to Inuyasha, she gave him one of her smiles that brought warmth to his chest, "You okay?"

"Yeah, just don't know what to do with my...everything," he stated honestly, hearing Kagome giggle before pressing a kiss to his lips in comfort.

"You're fine. You're good to look at, so that's enough. Just sit there and look pretty," she teased, seeing heat rush to Inuyasha's face before he gave her a playful scowl.

"That what you brought me on for? Eye candy?"

"No! My subscribers wanted to get to know you," she defended, "It's just an added bonus that you're cute," she added before grinning towards him while her gaze looked to the beanie that sat on his head, "If only they could see your ears." A very real look of warning came over his face, Kagome immediately knowing why before she rolled her eyes, "You know I won't keep that in, Yash. Let's just continue with the video idea, okay?"

"Fine," he murmured, folding his arms across his chest so the camera could pick up the fact that he had a full sleeve tattooed on his arm.

"Okay, first question: Where and when did we meet?" Kagome asked with a widely amused smile, interested to see how he would answer this question, seeing as their first meeting wasn't exactly the most conventional.

Inuyasha was confused at first - why did people care? "Uh, at my shop like a year ago," he replied easily, shrugging before seeing Kagome lift her brows at him with expectancy.

"And how did that meeting go, Inuyasha?" she asked, seeing his brows furrow before scoffing and rolling his eyes.

"That wasn't the question, Kagome," he muttered, finding his attention back on her as he recalled exactly how they met and how it wasn't the most pleasant experience. In fact, if the story was shared, people would think it a miracle that they'd ended up together.

"Fine," she sang, understanding his hesitation before she moved onto the next question, "Where was our first date?"

"We didn't have one," the answer was almost instantaneous, and absolutely not a lie. The progression of their relationship had been unorthodox at best, resulting in them not able to go on dates until they'd been two months into their relationship.

"That's not true! We went to the movies," Kagome stated, only to see a confused look on Inuyasha's face as if she was speaking a foreign language, "Yeah, we went to that really bad horror movie and just made out the whole time."

"Kagome! You can't just tell people that!" he countered, shifting his gaze to the camera and back to the woman beside him, seeing a cheeky grin on her lips as she booped his nose playfully, causing her boyfriend to scrunch it up in disapproval.

"Don't stress about it, Yash. Everyone knows we do much more than that," she explained, only to hear a disgruntled choked sound come from him out of embarrassment. However, she did have a point, and he relaxed then, even though there was still the obvious stain of pink on his cheeks.

"Let me read the next one," he stated, holding his hand out for her to pass over the phone, "Not fair that I get interrogated this whole video."

Happily, Kagome passed him the phone to see him look at the next question, "Where was our first kiss?" Lifting his head, he looked towards his girlfriend with a fond smile, reminded of the time when she'd asked him to stay when he'd been trying so damn hard to behave himself. That kiss was one he knew he'd never forget; what came afterward was pretty memorable as well.

"In my apartment," Kagome figured it was best to leave out the details - it was a complicated situation, "Next."

"Who said 'I love you' first?" Inuyasha's head snapped up from the phone to give Kagome a confused and offended look, "These are fuckin' personal, Kagome!" he scolded, holding the phone up as if she hadn't already read through some of the questions already.

Kagome released a giggle before taking the phone from him, "We don't have to answer it," she assured, only to hear a signature grumble leave the man beside her, "But it was me," she stated quickly, "And the look on your face was priceless."

"I wasn't expecting it..." he murmured, "Next question."

"When is my birthday?" Kagome asked before answering what Inuyasha's birthday was, "November eighth, and you are definitely a Scorpio, I ever knew one." That statement had Inuyasha rolling his eyes.

"Dunno how you believe in that crap. Your birthday is March fourteenth-"

"Which makes me a Pisces," she interjected, leaning closer to him before sticking her tongue out at him, only to have Inuyasha lean forward in an attempt to nip it. A bright squeal left her at that, managing to back away fast enough, "Hey! Careful with those!" she stated, gesturing to his fangs.

"Just ask the next question."

Kagome scrolled through some of them, finding them to be slightly boring, before landing on one that she found amusing, "Oh! This one's a good one," she smirked towards Inuyasha then, who narrowed his gaze towards her in return, "Who is the more dominant one in the relationship?"

Inuyasha couldn't help but scoff, smirking back at her, "Isn't it obvious?" he asked, only to hear Kagome's say that it was, in fact -

"Me! Duh!" she chirped, only to suddenly feel the grip of his hand on her throat, stealing the air from her as she released a visceral whine. The heat of his breath on her lips had her biting her lower lip out of instinct, which only urged Inuyasha onward.

Canting his head, his brows lifted in expectancy, "As you were saying?"

Kagome gripped his wrist as she whimpered, "Yash...not now," she breathed, knowing that they'd needed to get through at least ten more questions to finish the video. Golden hues peered down to between her legs, smelling that all too familiar smoke and spice that told him everything he needed to know.

"Later. You'll be makin' up for that," he growled, only to see her nod softly with a hum of acknowledgment. Relinquished his grip, he went back to his regular seated position, arms folded across his chest as Kagome took a few calming breaths.

Clearing her throat, she could see the smugness on his face as Inuyasha answered the question himself, "It's me. Now gimme the phone," he stated, holding his hand back out for her to place it in obediently, solidifying his answer, "What do we mostly argue about?" he asked, looking up to Kagome with a knowing expression on his face.

"Is everything an answer?" Kagome stated with a giggle, only to see Inuyasha chuckle lowly at that, "We bicker a lot but, it's typically harmless. But we mostly do it to make up." She stated, winking at the camera, only to have Inuyasha's face go beat red once again.

"K-Kagome, you can't just-" he sputtered, only to feel Kagome press a kiss to his cheek to calm him down. It was criminal how she was able to dismantle any sort of frustration he had with a simple kiss. Relaxing, he peered off to the side with a defeated look on his face, "They didn't need to know that."

"I'll cut that part out," she stated reaching over to take his hand in both of hers and rest them on her lap, "I'll make sure you get to see the final video before it's posted." Holding her phone in his other hand, he side glanced her back flitting his gaze back to the phone to find another question.

"How long does it take for me to get ready in the morning? Well, you-" he began, turning his attention back to her while gesturing towards her, "Take for fuckin' ever," he turned to the camera as if he was talking to a person, continuing to gesture towards her, which shocked Kagome, "She'll take literally two hours to get ready every morning and use all of the hot water in the shower."

"I like long showers!" she defended, jaw hanging open on mock offense as she drew in an exaggerated gasp, "I can't believe you're calling me out like this!"

Relaxing some, she turned her chin up at him with a rather pompous look on her face, "Well, at least I take time to groom myself," she continued only to hear that familiar tenor counter back.

"I am plenty clean you know it," he looked back at the phone, trying to find another good question to answer, "Let's see..."

Kagome could see the entertainment in his eyes, how he was starting to become more like himself as they continued on with the video. It warmed her heart to see, offering a small smile towards him before she heard a sound of discovery come from him, "Ah-ha! This one. Who is more jealous?" The way he turned his attention back to her, as if she was supposed to say herself, had her lifting her brows in disbelief.

"You can't possibly think it's me," she was quite serious in her response, seeing Inuyasha lift a brow in skepticism, "You're joking!"

Tapping his nose, he grinned at her, "This doesn't lie, baby. I can smell it on you."

"That's hardly fair," she rebutted, tilting her head as she reached out to grab the very thing her just tapped, "I don't have a nose like yours."

A yelp left him as he tried to scrunch his nose enough for her to release it, "Quit it!" Releasing his nose, Inuyasha shook his head a few times to try and get the discomfort from one of his most sensitive areas, "Not my fault you have a human nose."

"Yeah, yeah, take it up with my parents," she joked before snatching the phone away to scroll through the questions, "What is the one thing you'd change about me?" This intrigued her, head tilting towards him with an expectant smile that told him 'don't answer wrong'.

"Nothin', why would I change you?" Inuyasha stated in his ever so abrasive manner that told Kagome that he was completely serious and hadn't even picked up on her subtle hint. Kagome's heart warmed then, smile turning from expectant to genuine and warm, "But if I had to choose-" he continued, Kagome's expression morphing into dark questioning, "You're a doormat sometimes."

"A doormat!?" she exclaimed, causing Inuyasha to lean back in a startled manner, eyes wide with the promise of apology. Yet, after a moment, he turned to the offensive, leaning towards her to continue his answer.

"You let people take advantage of you sometimes and you deserve better than that, okay!" he replied with the same volume and abrasiveness as before. It was Kagome's turn to lean back and let her eyes go wide in shock - what he'd said was sweet in its own way, even if it was posed rather crudely. Kagome's expression softened before leaning forward and giving him a small peck to the lips.

"You're sweet when you wanna be," she teased, only to feel her boyfriend steal another kiss and straighten himself in his chair.

"That what you'd change about me? To be sweet all of the time, instead of sometimes?"

Kagome really thought about the question, trying to think of something that wasn't too heavy of an answer. She had something in mind, but perhaps airing it out on camera wasn't the smartest idea. Tapping her chin in thought, her gaze lifted to the ceiling as she thought for another moment or two with a thoughtful hum, "Oh!" that same finger became erect, pointing upwards as the answer came to her, "Knowing your limits," she stated, turning to look at him, only to see a very perplexed expression on her boyfriend's face, "Like, you overwork yourself sometimes - run yourself into the ground."

"Keh. I do not," he countered, shaking his head in disagreement, "I'm efficient."

Giving him a rather incredulous look as she tilted her head, a look that said 'oh really?' on her face, she opened her mouth to reply, "Need I remind you of last weekend?" she emphasized, recalling how he wasn't able to make it through the first ten minutes of the movie they were watching because he'd exhausted himself. Sure, it took much more effort to tucker him out, but when he crashed, he crashed hard; and before that crash, he was not the most pleasant person to be around. Irritable and quick to anger, Kagome knew to keep clear of him as much as possible until her crashed, like a child.

Rolling his eyes, he scoffed defiantly before holding gesturing towards the phone for her to ask another question, "Who is the most organized one in the relationship?"

"That's not even a contest. I used to think I was organized until I met you," he began before putting on a voice that was supposed to mimic her, or one could only assume, "Everything has its own home."

There was no hiding the laughter that left her at the realization that he was supposed to be mocking her and trying to sound like her, "Keep your day job, babe!" she managed to stay through giggles before agreeing with him, "But you're right, it is me."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm a mechanic, not a comedian, so pass over the phone, wouldya?" Holding out his hand, he gestured for her to hand it over, which did promptly. Pulling it closer to his face, one question stood out that had a very wicked grin pass over him, "What pet names do you give each other if any?" Slowly, his head turned towards her with that same grin. Now it was Kagome's turn to blush, knowing exactly who he wanted her to answer. Turning back to the camera, Inuyasha gave his answer first, "Nothing out of the ordinary for me. Baby, baby girl, pretty girl," he glanced towards his girlfriend then, "Whadya call me, baby?"

"I'm not keeping this," she stated abruptly before seeing Inuyasha's face drop some, and his gaze narrow towards her in warning, "I call you babe, baby," she paused, glaring at him as she contemplated giving in to what he wanted. There was no way they'd finish the video if she said it, very aware of what she called him did to him. Keeping her gaze on him, she opened her mouth, "And-" she paused again, still battling inwardly as to whether or not she would go through with it.

Maybe they could go back later and do an outro, finish with a few more lighthearted questions and call it a day. So long as they cleaned up and made it look the same, no one would be able to tell. That flow of thought gave her all of the answers she needed, "Daddy."

There it was, that primal growl deep in his chest as his pupils blew wide, and Kagome couldn't help but feel it shoot straight to her core. Before she could even think about anything else, his lips were on hers, devouring her and pulling her into his lap to get more of her. A soft shriek left the young woman, arms wrapping around his neck as he immediately climbed to his feet with the intent of moving them somewhere more comfortable, "Mmnph!" Kagome yelped, pulling away from him with the faintest sense of annoyance, "I have to turn off the camera."

Pausing, he peered towards the camera, letting a wide, wicked smirk pass over his features as he slowly turned back to the woman in his arms, "Why don't we bring it with us?" There was no way to hide the blush that passed over the woman's features, looking down at his in disbelief.

"Wh-what?" Suddenly feeling rather self-conscious, keeping that doe-eyed look on her face, as if she'd been caught in the headlights, "Yash-"

"Daddy," he corrected, tone low and husky, authoritative when he was in his more primal state.

"I don't know if we should," she replied meekly, not really sure how she felt about knowing that anything they did was on tape, "I don't know if I'm comfortable," she stated honestly, only to feel her boyfriend's lips press to the side of her mouth affectionately.

Moving closer to the camera, he held her closer to it, "Turn it off, baby," he cooed, nuzzling his nose against her jawline as she relaxed into his hold. Leaning over, legs still wrapped around his waist, she stopped recording before turning the camera off completely.

"We need to finish that video today," she scolded as she moved back to wrap her arms around his neck, only to feel his lips against her own, nipping and licking at them as he began to carry them towards her bedroom, obvious that he hadn't heard her.

He wasn't really sure what came over him. Typically he was a 'mind your business' kind of guy, let other people resolve their issues on their own.

But he honestly lost his shit when this fucking flea bag wouldn't take no for an answer. She said no thank you, that she was sorry she didn't feel that way, and even lied (which unfortunately if he smelt the lie, so did the wolf) about seeing someone else. To be fair, she tried to justify it was new and they had just met and she was uncomfortable by it all. She was smart. Crafty. And fuck, taking just a look at her face she was pretty fucking cute.

Kikyo had 'bumped' into him in line at the coffee shop and maybe he could blame that. They had just broke up; after dating all through high school and some of college, she was 'bored and wanted to explore other things.’ What she meant was, she wanted to explore other dicks. After their breakup, he saw her on accident in the library and he almost lost his shit. She had made them wait until they were in college because it was such a huge step in their relationship and then after three days of being single probably fucked the whole football team?!?

Ok, he was still angry about it. Probably wasn't a whole team, but he was still hurt.

Having her chattering his fucking ear off wasn't helping his mood either so he tuned it out only to hear the girl sitting at a two seater booth trying to keep their argument between them. She wasn't taking it lying down but she was growing anxious. If the wolf could smell it, he clearly didn't care.

"Inuyasha are you listening to me? What do you think?"

"Huh?"

"Oh, Inuyasha! Hehehe, you're so silly; I was saying we should get back together! I mean, as long as you're not seeing anyone, right? I mean, of course you're not! We love each other-- and it was a huge mistake for us to break up!"

Inuyasha did the only thing he could do; well that was a lie, he did something he had never chosen to do before. Honestly, he'd never really been in this situation before. Kikyo was his first real girlfriend. First love. First… everything. He thought that was it. Then reality struck like the cruel bitch she was and it fell apart. But he got over it. Kinda. He had a soft spot for Kikyo because she was his first everything. She hadn't been looking for love but found it. Then regretted it thinking she missed out on life. Or whatever.

But right there, in that moment he just couldn't roll over. Not without being cursed or something and thank God they were in public because otherwise she just might with what he had decided he was going to do.

He stepped up to the counter and ordered not one but two of his peppermint coffees and paid. He heard Kikyo’s excitement from behind him and almost laughed.

Almost.

Because shit was seriously about to hit the fan.

He grabbed his cups and Kikyo followed, still yammering on and on until he reached the table with the young woman who looked like she was about to start crying she was so pissed.

"Here you go, babe," Inuyasha said as charmingly as he could.

The girl jumped at his presence. Her big brown doe eyes locked with his and for the briefest moment there was confusion. Then understanding. Then a glint of mischief. Oh fuck. He already liked her.

"Thanks honey! You ready to go?" She asked leadingly.

"Yea," he said ignoring the gaping womon behind him to pick up the other woman's coat from her chair and help her put it on.

"Wa-wait! What the fuck?? You were just with her!" The wolf cried angrily.

"If you were paying attention to our conversation then you would know I never answered her. I was too busy noticing you were trying to pounce on my girl," Inuyasha growled possessively as he wrapped his arm around the girl's shoulder. Fuck. This totally wasn't him. What was wrong with him? Ugh fuck, she was probably thinking she just traded one asshole for another. Smooth. Wait-- not smooth, this wasn't a real date or anything.

When she curled herself into his side he was shocked. If he was human, he'd probably have a heart attack. Fuck, she smelled good. Like amazing. Shit, nope, he needed to focus! This was about getting her away from the wolf and steering off Kikyo’s advances.

"And he is seeing someone," the girl in his embrace directed her answer to Kikyo. "Me. You clearly didn't appreciate what you had and he moved on."

"Uh! Inuyasha!" Kikyo quivered in distress. "Can't we-- talk about this?? Alone?"

"Sorry Kikyo. I have a date."

"This is such a fucking farce! Who even the fuck are you?! You don't smell like her! She didn't even--"

"Firstly, the name is Inuyasha. Secondly, of course I don't. I respect her. She's young and I wouldn't try anything without her permission," he glowered leering at the wolf for even implying he'd fuck this beautiful creature in his arms without courting her properly first. Shit. No. This was a ruse. Fake.

"Koga, I told you I was seeing someone. It's new, and I'm sorry. I really am; I just--"

"Kagome you said you weren't looking for anything right now! Why him?? He's a fucking mutt!"

Ahhhhhhhh. How he was going to love kicking this guy’s ass.

"Shut up, Koga! Inuyasha has shown me way more respect and kindness within the first five minutes of knowing me rather than the month you have!"

That was a lie. They were likely going on minute six.

"Inuyasha! You can't be serious! She's inexperienced and with the wolf demon! Come on, all we needed was a break! I know you hate waiting for anything, baby," she said leadingly.

Honestly, he wasn't aroused by her insinuations in the slightest. He wasn't a teenager anymore. Also while Kikyo had been his first and only, the fact she dumped him to go hoe herself out only to crawl back to him was disgusting.

He understood it was likely 'just sex' and just exploration but while Inuyasha was no prize himself due to his demon heritage...still, he had some pride. Also his dog demon nature felt betrayed. Maybe if she caught him on the night of the new moon he would've taken her back. Fuck, maybe if this was done in private, but not when they were in a coffee shop with a beautiful girl being bullied into dating a mangy wolf.

"Actually, I don't mind waiting for her at all. She's rather… special," he said. And he meant it. What the fuck was wrong with his brain?

Either way, the girl called Kagome didn't flinch or change her position. If anything, and it could have just been his imagination, she sank further into his body. It took everything he had not to rumble. His inner demon wanted to fucking purr now?? He needed to talk to Miroku after this. Maybe even his asshat brother. Because maybe they knew what was wrong with him, and just maybe he wouldn’t need to check himself into an inpatient stay until he cleared his head.

“Mutt, get your hands off my woman!”

“He’s not a mutt! His name is Inuyasha!! Say it with me Koga! In-U-Ya-Sha!” She yelled, slightly stepping away from his body to glower at the wolf demon in front him. Fuck. He was officially in love. And he needed to hear her say that in a slightly more moaning pleading voice. What?? Yea--he needed to check himself into a psych hospital after this.

“He’s a half-breed Kagome. You can do so much better than scraps--” He was cut off by the loud cracking slap across his cheek. Kagome was not standing directly in front of Koga. Totally out of Inuyasha hold. The distance didn’t help his control. Or his head.

All he could think of was pulling her back to him and ravishing her. Shit. He was screwed. He didn’t want to be in another relationship--or at least he didn’t think he did. This was simply to help the girl and to get Kikyo away from him.

Speaking of the other woman, Kikyo was deadly silent. It made him kind of nervous. What was she plotting? She could be a vengeful person when pissed off. He slowly turned to face her and was met with her glaring at the girl who was currently putting a wolf demon in his place.

“Kikyo?” He asked worriedly.

“You really want to give up everything we have for this child?”

“Don’t be like that Kikyo--we aren’t together.”

“But Inuyasha, I told you; I made a mistake. Please, let’s just go and figure this whole thing out together.”

The two squabbling finally quieted down behind him and he felt a trembling hand on his chest. He looked back and saw Kagome--almost hurt. But why would she be hurt? Maybe she was just a good actress in this situation. Or maybe she was feeling what he was?

No wait, back track, he wasn’t feeling anything for her. He was just crazy. They just met and learned each other’s names from the other people who were fighting for their attention.

“If you want to go back to Kikyo I won’t be upset… We just met and this is all so new. I won’t make you choose if you aren’t ready--”

“You’re gonna let this animal two-time you Kagome?!”

“Koga will you just shut up!” Kagome yelled. “I’m just saying we are just seeing each other and if he wasn’t set on anything then--”

“Nah, I’m set babe. Let’s get outta here,” he smiled cockily and placed his arm back around her shoulder and led her to the door.

They exited unfollowed but he didn’t drop his arm. When they crossed the street back to campus, he then did drop his arm and walk beside her. Fuck. The silence was killing him. Shit. What does someone say in a situation like that?

“Uhm, thank you, Inuyasha. I appreciate what you did. I hope I didn’t ruin anything with your ex.”

“It’s not a problem. I wasn’t about to let the bastard keep harassing you.”

“I can handle myself, thank you.”

“Yea, looked like it,” he smirked.

She looked up at him and giggled. “So, uhm, my name is Kagome.”

“I’d say it’s nice to meet you but--” he paused. Did that shit head actually follow them?? Was he a fucking stalker?

As subtly as he could he stopped and turned her to face him. She blushed madly as he leaned down to press his forehead to hers as he whispered, “This fuckface is pretty set on you for some reason. He’s just a block behind us.”

She swallowed and exhaled slowly. Shit. His dick was twitching. He had problems. He obviously needed to get laid. How could her peppermint coffee breath smell that wonderful and magic to literally send those kind of signals to his cock?

“How--uhm--how far are you willing to take this?”

“I could ask you the same thing, Kagome.”

“Do you mind walking me to my apartment?”

“Nah, that’s fine,” he said softly as the wolf was getting closer. Inuyasha raised his head and kissed the crown of her head. Oh God. He was screwed. Would it be wrong to actually ask out this girl? She was obviously single.

No. No. No… He just got out of a relationship. It’d be dumb to jump right back in. Especially under the pretense this ‘arrangement’ started.

He did notice her sigh as she took his hand and led him towards her apartment. The sigh was… happy. Or at least that’s what he thought it was. But the area her apartment was in was oddly familiar. He’d been here before. Wait a second--

She got her keys out and opened the door then turned to say something when Miroku swung the door open fully.

“Inuyasha!!! What a lovely surprise!”

“Miroku?? You know Inuyasha?” Kagome asked curiously.

“Well of course! He’s my roommate!”

“Wait--you’re--”

“Oh for fuck’s sake,” Inuyasha groaned. This… this was not happening. This was the girl Miroku had been trying to set him up with. Son of a bitch. The irony of it pissed him off. Almost as much as that goddamn wolf who was still lurking about.

“Get inside,”he pushed Kagome forward past Miroku before shooting him a ‘shut-the-fuck-up’ look.

“What’s wrong??” she asked hurriedly as he closed the door.

“The fucking wolf is still--”

“Oh… he does live in the same complex as us.”

“Koga? He was still bothering you, Kagome?” Miroku's teasing face turned concerned quickly.

“Yes, I was going to get coffee and study when he just showed up at Starbucks again. He wanted to buy me coffee and I made up a lie I was meeting someone--”

“Hence the text Sango and I received, continue,” Miroku explained.

“But he wouldn’t leave well enough alone and then I saw…” she trailed off biting her lip. Oh shit. He needed to bite the lip. FUCK! NO! NO HE DIDN’T!

“A woman was behind Inuyasha--so I didn’t say anything to him at first. Just tried to explain I was busy when he surprised me and brought over a cup of coffee and helped me put my jacket on so we could leave together.” She was omitting the part where he claimed they were seeing each other. Was she embarrassed?? Did she not want to be seen by her friends with a half-demon?

“Oh shit--a woman?? Who?” Miroku smirked.

“Kikyo,” Inuyasha informed dryly.

“Oh reallllllly. And you just--blew her off?”

“I wasn’t about to let the flea bag exploit her.”

“Even if it did ruin your chances at getting back together with the woman you love?” Miroku smirked leadingly. He was going to fucking kill him if he ever returned home.

“Shut up, Miroku.”

“Miroku, I feel bad enough Inuyasha had embarrassed himself by saying he was with me--” Kagome started before Sango emerged from behind her and shoved her.

“What did we talk about Kagome?” Sango said sternly.

“I’m… pretty?”

“And?”

“Any guy would be lucky to have me…” She said it as though there was dirt in her mouth. What the fuck did he walk into?

“That’s right,” Sango nodded her approval. “Hey Yash. What’s up? What did I miss?”

Miroku filled Sango on what was going on as Kagome shrugged out of her coat and downed the rest of her coffee. Inuyasha was drawn to her. Did she put a spell on him? She did exude some reiki--not as much as Kikyo but maybe she had it under more control than his ex.

“That slimy, twisted, asshole--”

“However, it seems Inuyasha acted like they were dating,” he said as he raised his eyebrow. Oh that fucker was sooooooo dead.

“Oh!!! That's wonderful! So we will let you guys get on your date then,” she winked at Kagome who began to protest. Sango obviously didn’t care or wasn’t listening as she tugged Miroku who was smirking at him. Son of a bitch.

Once they were out the door, Kagome exhaled in defeat.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean for them to put you in this situation,” she said quietly.

“You’re the one stuck with a half-breed,” he spat. She flinched. And then he felt like an asshole.

“What?? Don’t call yourself that! There’s nothing wrong with who you are,” she said as she made her way to the kitchen.

“Yea yea, tell that to the rest of the world.”

“The rest of the world doesn’t matter; it only matters what you think. You have friends who seem like they care about you, too. Does it really matter what everyone else thinks?” She asked as she grabbed two bottles of water and proceeded to stroll over to the couch and sit down.

He just realized he was still awkwardly standing in her entry way when she motioned for him to join her. Taking his coat off, he hung it next to hers and then slowly approached her couch. He sat on the other side to give her some space.

Her eyes looked disappointed as she handed him a water. Why? Or was he imagining it? Or did he wish to honestly see that? Son of a bitch.

“So… did you want to watch tv?” She asked awkwardly.

“That’s fine,” he agreed, trying to break the tension.

She handed him the remote which surprised him. It was her house and he was the one who was kind of imposing. Or at least that’s how he felt. He turned on a movie. Of course it was The Proposal. Of fucking course it was a fake engagement movie.

“So… uhm…” she stammered biting her lip. Damnit she needed to stop doing that before he lost control and tasted the fucking thing himself.

He also noted to himself that he was going to find a girl. That night. Because this intense desire and crazy amount of longing for intimacy was pushing him to the brink of insanity.

“What?” He bit out harshly. Much harsher than he intended but he was fucking frustrated at this point. Her scent was covering him. Her presence was domineering. He needed to take a minute. Swallow his pride. Call his goddamn brother.

“I’m sorry. We don’t have to talk,” she mumbled. Andddddddd now she was crying. He was an asshole. Before he could stop himself, he reached over and grabbed her chin to make her look at him. And then he nuzzled her cheek.

What. Was. He. Doing?!?!? Why was his demon half so--so-- Yea he needed to call Sesshomaru.

“Inuyasha?”

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to be rude. I’m just-- do you mind if I make a call really quick? I need to check in with someone,” he said in anonymity. She didn’t need to know he was calling a jackass to ask why he was going crazy.

“Oh my gosh! Did you have to cancel plans because of me?! I’m so sorry! Please, feel free to use my bedroom, bathroom wherever!”

“Keh, no, no, it isn’t a big deal. I’ll just be a second. I’m going outside real quick. I was gonna test something with that wolf anyway,” he said, pulling his face back from her cheek which was now a dusty rose. He bet it would look even better with sweat dripping from it and her eyes half glazed over from lust---and for fuck’s sake!!!!

He leapt over the couch in an instant and opened and closed the door to the porch without further explanation. Grabbing his cellphone out of his pocket he quickly dialed Sesshomaru’s number and sat on the railing to the little deck they had outside of their apartment. He took in the scents and realized the wolf was likely inside still. He was waiting for his prey to exit the apartment. Or rather, for him to leave.

“Takahashi.”

“For fuck’s sake do you not look at the caller ID?”

“Greetings, little brother. What can I assist you with today?”

“You sound chipper.”

“It’s because you’re on speaker and he knows he needs to be nice in front of your nephew,” a feminie voice chimed in.

“Hey Rin,” Inuyasha smirked.

“Hello brother! We miss you! Don’t we, Sesshomaru?”

“What is it you need, little brother? We are a little busy.”

“With my new nephew? I’m sure the brat has you running all over the place.”

“Indeed; he is crawling and finding his way into everything in sight,” Sesshomaru admitted begrudgingly.

“Touga!!! No!!” He heard Rin yell before stammering steps along with a very mischievous giggle. Little monster was definitely giving them trouble. He reminded himself to buy him a very nice Christmas gift.

“Like that for instance…” Sesshomaru sighed.

“You obviously wanted this. You can smell when Rin is in heat,” Inuyasha added.

“Yes, yes, now again, what do you need, Inuyasha?”

“How… how did you know Rin was your mate?”

“The fact you ask that question tells me you met yours.”

“Or I’ve just gone crazy, you jackass.”

“I can assure you that is what it is like,” Sesshomaru said.

“Look, I’m not even sure how to approach this--”

“You dated that miserable woman for quite a few years and you are informing me you have no idea how to court a woman?”

“Shut up asshole. Not like that-- I mean-- We just met. She had a wolf demon trying to hit on her and I acted instinctively and pretended we were dating. And now I’m at her place.”

“Awwww, what a fun story,” Rin chimed in.

“Not really. How do you go from fake dating to actually dating?”

“Tell her she’s your--”

“Rin. I did not tell you that you were mine.”

“Well yea, but I knew. You hated everyone except me.” Inuyasha could literally hear the twinkle in her eyes. And he completely agreed. The asshole hated everyone and everything until she came along and softened up his heart. It was obvious.

“I advise you to get to know her--allow her to get to know you. Actually ask her out,” Sesshomaru replied evenly.

“That’s a good idea too,” Rin cheered.

“Sess… uhm… what about us--”

“TOUGA NO!!!!” Rin cried.

“You have a moment now brother for your sexual question.”

“You already know it, so spill. What the fuck do I do? I can’t stop thinking about her!”

“Practice your self control. Touching her will help alleviate some of your pull towards her. I advise you not to be around her during the full moon. Unless you’ve made progress in the next week that is.”

“I can literally hear your smirk,” Inuyasha groaned.

“Sesshomaru?? Are you teasing him??” Rin questioned returning to the phone.

“Yea, punish him,” Inuyasha grinned.

“Mmmmm, maybe I will,” Rin replied happily.

“Ew. Goodbye. Thanks asshat. Thank you Rin.”

“Take care Inu!” Rin responded before the phone hung up.

Inuyasha sighed. At least he got some answers. Some advice. He could use it. Now he needed to change the fake dating to… real dating. But was he really ready for that? He was doing some really weird, shit he had never done when he was with Kikyo.

He never let himself use his demonic instincts with her. It wasn't that she hadn’t realized he was a half demon like he could actually hide that tidbit. But he could tell she didn’t like his claws, she never touched his ears, and she did not like him biting her, let alone licking her. He originally thought maybe that was why she wanted to explore; the fact their sex was rather… vanilla. But he had thought that was what she wanted since she deterred anything else.

Now his instincts were all over the fucking place. One thing was clear though; he needed to be around this girl.

Returning inside he saw her biting the fucking lip again until she turned to meet him and smiled softly.

“Everything okay?”

“Yea, I was just talking to my brother, his wife, and their pup.”

“Oh that’s so nice. I’m sorry if I made you cancel those plans,” she apologized.

“Nah, they have their hands full. Pup’s learning to crawl. Amongst other things,” he smirked remembering the loud crash that played over the phone along with Sesshomaru’s exasperation.

“Oh, that’s nice.”

“So… tell me about yourself.” Smooth. Real smooth.

“Oh--uhm--... well this is my first year here. Dorms were full when I finally picked a school but luckily they were okay with me rooming with Sango in her apartment.”

“Couldn't’ decide where to go?”

“Honestly I was avoiding the guy I had been seeing in high school.”

“What’s with you and guys not taking no for an answer?”

“Hahaha, you got me,” she laughed nervously. “But he finally picked and so I picked here. Thankfully I really wanted to come here anyway since Sango was here.”

“What’s your major?”

“Education--I want to be a elementary school teacher. I love kids.”

His inner demon was probably going to explode. Swallowing he shifted on the couch so his leg lightly touched her own. That bastard was right; it did help a little bit.

“That’s uh--cool.”

“What about you?”

“Engineering. I like to use my hands and shit. Not so good with the words and stuff.”

“Hahaha, you seem to be doing okay to me,” she smiled brightly. Damn. She was fucking goregous.

“Yea, it’s not an all the time thing so don’t get used to it.”

“What?” Oh fuck. Yea, shouldn’t have said that. Point proven. Dumb dog not good with words.

“I meant if you, ya know, wanna keep this going so the wolf doesn’t keep trying shit on ya,” he explained blushing.

“O-oh, but… You don’t have to do that. I don’t want to put you out or anything. I know you just broke up with Kikyo. Miroku told me a little about everything… I’m sure you want to go sow some wild oats or whatever.” Nope just yours. Damnit.

“Nah; I’m not that type of guy. What about you? Would I be holding you back from anything?”

“Oh no. I uh--” her blush was so distracting. So beautiful. So hot. “I wasn’t sure I was ready for all that. I’ve only dated one guy and he was… uh-- gosh this sounds so mean but boring. He was so nice, and attentive and just a great guy but there was no--SPARK!”

“Huh. Sorry to hear that,” he mumbled as he actually wasn’t that sorry. It gave him the opportunity to woo her. Okay, he needed to not talk or hang out with Miroku anymore.

“Alright; sounds like we’re stuck with each other.”

“You don't need to say it like that. Honestly, I appreciate your help but--”

“Do you not want to be seen with me?”

“What?!? That’s not it at all! I figured after dating someone as gorgeous and beautiful as Kikyo you’d be bored with someone as blah as me! E-Even if we’re not actually dating. You know what I mean.”

“Trust me. You’re an upgrade. You have five times the personality as she does. Also, not to be crude, but ten times the body.”

He smirked at her hot and heavy flush and… oh fuck. The scent of her cinnamon spicy arousal was just almost too much for him to bear. He had to think. Quickly. He stretched his arm over the back of the couch and kissed her forehead.

“But this isn’t--” Fuck he couldn’t even say it wasn’t real because to him it was. “We don’t have to do anything that makes you uncomfortable. But we have plenty of excuses to see each other. Sorry I’ve made you the third wheel with horny and the princess.”

“It’s fine. I understand--Miroku said Kikyo was very important to you but you’d come around,” she said as she twirled her hair nervously.

"What else he tell ya?"

"Nothing." That was far too quick an answer.

"Try again; I smell lies just as well as the flea bag downstairs."

"Just that… Oh Gods you're going to kill him."

"Already on my to do list."

"Just you're a big puppy and he'd think we'd be good friends. We’d be good for each other, ya know? Both kinda fresh out of breakups and, yea..." Yep. He was dead. D.E.A.D.

"He's not wrong but neither are you. He is dead. The moment he walks into our apartment again."

"So… we're gonna just uhh, keep fake dating?"

"Sure. Get to know each other. Maybe even branch into actually being friends. Who knows, where it could lead." He hadn’t meant to say that. Damnit.

"I uh, I'd like that," she admitted.

His heart stopped. She would like that? Really? This beautiful feisty little kitten would wanna go out with him? He looked down at her and she was smiling nervously with that damn bottom lip in-between her teeth. He bet his cock would look just as good as--

Nope. Not yet.

XxxxxxxxxxxxX

It'd been a good couple of weeks. The farce was well taken by everyone. No one batted an eye. Well, no one but Kikyo and Koga.

Inuyasha had taken to walking Kagome to and from classes. They still stopped and got coffee, usually getting it to go since the wolf was present--waiting. They often ended up watching movies after their day was done at her place. Studied at the library together. They went out to dinner here and there but usually ate at home with their friends.

Even though it looked like to others it was going fast, it was oddly perfect to them. Even if it wasn't all true.

But in the weeks they had shared together, he learned almost everything he could about her. While she was content with companionable silence, she also was not one to hide anything. He learned about her family, likes, dislikes, pet peeves, history with men in general. He still hadn’t really figured out why she was so self-conscious but she stopped that around him.

He definitely classified them as friends at that point. He also honestly considered them dating. Even though maybe she didn’t. He was too afraid to ask. Especially when things were going so well.

She never seemed bothered by the intimacy--even behind closed doors. He always had his arm around her shoulders, their legs close and brushing against each other. He often kissed her lightly on the crown of her head, temple, sometimes even got ballsy enough to kiss her cheek. She has reciprocated a couple times out in public, but there was what was confusing. Why not when they were alone? Or at least correct him? But what was odd was the fact she sank into his chest as he held her shoulders, twirled his hair in her fingers, and when he did kiss her on the cheek, she’d smiled this beautiful nervous grin. Like he had told her he loved her.

Which he hadn’t. Not yet. But fuck, he did.

And it was crazy.

Another week passed, their routine remained the same. But he knew he was forgetting something…

They were out for a stroll after their dinner at a casual restaurant. She had decided on burgers and fries. Her go-to meal before a stressful exam or presentation. He already knew she’d regret it later and curl into his side moaning about how her stomach hurt. Yea, he didn’t like she put herself through that but fuck, if he didn’t love being the one to comfort her.

The sun was just setting when he felt it. He stopped mid stride by the fountain in the park. She glanced at him, still holding his hand and looked worried.

“Inuyasha?”

“Damnit, I completely forgot…”

“What’s wrong???”

“You’ll see in a second,” he grimaced. He felt his aura drain, his ears shift down, his claws and fangs shorten, even his hair tingled as it turned midnight black while the sun disappeared. He opened his now-violet eyes and saw Kagome gape at him fearfully.

She released his hand and went right for the ears--fuck they were just as sensitive in this form as his other. “Oh my Gods!! Are you alright?!? What happened??? Did I purify you??”

“Relax Kagome, this happens every new moon. I just forgot tonight was that time in the lunar cycle. You keep me so distracted.”

“Oh Gods… I’m so sorry,” she said, tearing up.

“What?? What's wrong??”

“I-I-I messed up your schedule.”

“Hey, it’s fine,” he said brushing his hands against her eyes, catching her tears. “I love spending time with you.” Oh fuck. He forgot his mouth ran away with him while he was human. Stupid human emotions.

“Y-You do?”

“Of course, you idiot. Why on earth would I be with you night and day if I didn’t?”

“I-I mean--” she looked nervous.

“Yea?” He pressed.

“O-Our arrangement.”

“You really think--”

“I knew you were faking everything,” a voice came from behind them. Inuyasha turned and pushed Kagome behind him.

“Kikyo, what are you doing here?” He asked, less than pleased by her appearance. Not that she really altered his feelings about Kagome. No, if anything it oddly made them so much clearer. He had originally thought if he was human it would have jumbled things up, but it only made his feelings for Kagome clearer.

“I wanted to see if I could talk to you after you dropped her off this evening.”

“Have you been following us?” Kagome asked, slightly horrified.

“Of course I have you stupid girl. He’s my boyfriend. I needed to make sure he didn’t cheat on me.”

Kagome tried to distance herself from him but he wouldn’t let her. He gripped tightly onto her hip and growled slightly.

“Inuyasha,” Kikyo said warningly.

“No Kikyo. We broke up. Correction: you broke up with me. I moved on. I’m sorry you think we are still together for some odd delusional reason but even though I’m human tonight that doesn’t mean that you’ll persuade me into getting back together with you. I’m with Kagome. End of story.”

“I overheard your conversation, Inuyasha. You have an ‘arrangement’.”

“One of which we are dating. So mind your own business,” he glowered.

“Inuyasha--” Kagome started before Inuyasha turned to face her.

“Let’s go,” he said, wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

“Inuyasha! Another step and we are completely through! I will forgive this act but if you leave--”

“Don’t forgive me then. Kagome’s friendship is more important than a fake relationship with you.”

They walked in silence back to Kagome’s place until they got to her door. She dug in her bag for her keys and she was trembling. What could she be upset about?

“What’s wrong Kagome?” He asked, stilling her shaking hands with his own.

“I--I never wanted you to have to choose.”

“Yea well, she did. Even then though, it was you. Your friendship has meant more to me than our relationship ever has…”

“You’re being… really honest. Open. Are you feeling okay?”

“Yea, just human,” he snorted.

“What does that mean?” She asked as she finally unlocked the door leading the way into her apartment.

“It means my emotions are freer now. That I say more shit without thinking-- actually that part is no different. It just means shit I usually hide or am reluctant to share often comes up like word vomit now.”

“Oh,” she pondered. “Would it be mean if we played twenty questions then?”

That beautiful smirk she gave lit up his heart. And cock. Wait--he was human. He could control this better now. Sort of. Maybe. Damnit. Humans were hornier than demons. But he wasn’t compelled… Damnit would he ever not be screwed?

“It would but I won’t be opposed if it’ll make you happy.”

“Do… you mean that?”

“Question 1--yes. I do.”

“Hahaha, okay,” she laughed bouncing down on the couch. “Question 2-- why do you wanna make me happy?”

“Uhm…” he blushed hotly. “Because you’re my fr-friend.”

“Why’d you stutter?”

“That counts--because you are my friend. It makes me nervous to admit that.”

“Why?”

“You would ask all the why questions… Because it means you’re important to me.”

It was her turn to flush when she pried again, “Why does that make you nervous though?”

“It means I could lose you,” he confessed.

“I’m not Kikyo though… You won’t lose me,” she said breathily. Oh fuck she was right there in front of him.

“Not now, but eventually. Demons have different life spans.”

“What do you mean?”

“We live longer, don’t get sick, all that stuff…”

“How old are you?”

“I’m twenty-six--I was born this century. My father though, he was centuries old before he died.”

“How’d he die?”

“Freak priestess accident. My mother never really talked about it. I never asked about it.”

“What about your mother?”

“She died of cancer.”

“She--she didn’t take your father’s lifespan?”

“Are you asking if they mated?”

“Uhm, if that’s what it’s called?”

“She did--that’s why she got cancer and died early. Or at least that’s what the doctors said.”

Her tears hurt him. He didn’t want her pity. “Hey, don’t cry--”

“I’m sorry, I just-- I’m so sorry. I didn’t know and--”

“Shhhh,” he said, pulling her into a full embrace. She buried her head into his sweater and just cried. She was just crying for him. There was no pity. It was like she was shedding the tears he never allowed himself to cry. Her empathy held no bounds. He was so screwed. The love he held for her only grew that night.

Especially when she fell asleep in his arms and he carried her to bed. She muttered his name so softly and whined at the loss of his contact. He leaned down to kiss her forehead just before her eyes opened tentatively. He almost missed it; but he saw those beautiful carmel eyes flutter right before they squeezed shut again. If he had his demon sense he would have been able to see it better. To hear her heart rate and breathing. To be able to just confess.

But it was the new moon and he was still a coward. He didn’t want to hear the potential no in her answer about actually dating. The fluster from her about being his mate.

Smiling, he pressed his lips to forehead like he had planned. Then he did the only thing he was brave enough to do at the moment-- he lightly pressed his lips to hers and then quickly left the room before she could reveal to him she was awake.

He was so fucked.

XxxxxxxxxxxX

It was a couple days after that he ended up meeting Kagome at the coffee shop because he had a final that ran longer than he originally thought. He immediately regretted it having smelt the wolf the moment he opened the coffee house door.

Kagome locked eyes with him from their booth and smiled brightly. She waved him over happily. He almost forgot Koga was there--sitting in his spot across from her. He was fucking livid.

“Inuyasha! How’d your final go?” She asked as if Koga was not just sitting there glaring at him.

“Fine,” he clipped. Her brown eyes blinked at him and she tilted her head in confusion from his shortness.

“Here--I got your favorite,” she proceeded pushing his cup to him as she scooted in the booth. Making room for him. He smirked. Show time.

“Thanks babe,” he said sitting next to her wrapping his arm around her. As she turned back to look at Koga he got cocky. He wanted the wolf to know his place in Kagome’s life. Just a friend. Inuyasha was her man. Even if it wasn’t completely official yet. But Koga didn’t need to know that tidbit.

He grabbed her chin and initially she looked confused. Then understanding dawned on her as he lowered his mouth to hers. He saw her eyes widen before they fell to half-mast before he closed his and kissed her. Whoa. He thought her breath was enticing but fuck. She tasted like cherry candy. It took everything not to swipe his tongue along that lip of hers… EVERYTHING.

Pulling back he heard the tiniest whimper of disappointment from her, making him grin all the more. When she opened her glazed over eyes, she stared at him like she was begging him for more. The clearing of a throat across from them broke the spell and while he growled in annoyance she flushed from embarrassment. She proceeded to press her head into his chest, which he didn’t complain about in the slightest. Though he could see the anger and jealousy rolling off Koga in waves.

The conversation was obviously shortened with his presence but Kagome in no way shape or form felt uncomfortable. If anything, it was the opposite. She was beyond comfortable. The happiness she exuded rolled off of her in waves. He could tell the wolf wasn’t exactly excited about it either. But he didn’t say anything. They merely talked about their classes. What they were doing during their winter break. So on and so forth.

On their walk back to her place, he noticed she was biting her lip. More than usual. He wasn’t really sure why. When they finally got there, she invited him like usual and then disrobed her coat and made her way to the couch. She paused and turned to face him as he turned around from taking off his jacket.

“What’s up?” He asked, finally getting slightly irritated from the aura she was exuding.

“Uh--can I ask you something?”

“Yea?”

“It’s about… us.”

“Uh huh… well, spill then.”

“Do… do you like me?”

“What kind of dumb question is that? Of course I like you. We’re friends.” That was probably an asshole answer but it answered the question in the vagueness he needed to convey. He didn’t want to freak her out--it has been maybe a month. He didn’t know he had been in love with Kikyo for a year. Yea, mates were different but shit--she was still human.

“That’s not--ugh! That’s not exactly what I meant. I meant do you like me?”

“Why are you asking me that?”

“I just don’t want to misread things,” she admitted.

“What would you be misreading?”

“Inuyasha you’ve kissed me twice now! I just--I want to know! Do. You. Like. ME?!”

“So you were awake!!”

“You knew?!?”

“Yea!! You slammed your eyes closed so quick and hard I was expecting you to have fucking whiplash!”

“And you kissed me anyway?!! Why!?!”

“Are you that fucking stupid!?” He questioned stepping towards her until they were maybe a foot apart.

“I just want to know!!! I don’t want to be heartbroken because you don’t love me like I love you!!!” Her eyes widened and she muttered, “Shit.” She turned around and tried to walk away but he grabbed her and swung her back around.

“You’re an idiot,” he smirked down at her blanched face.

“Excuse me?!”

“I thought I was being obvious--at least for me! Do you think I go around walking with my arm slung domestically on any girl? Do you think I kiss anyone on the crown of their head? Do you think I kiss anyone??? Does that sound anything like me at all? Use your fucking head.”

“Inuyasha--stop dodging the question!!!’

“Fine I fucking love you too! I was drawn to you the moment I saw you in the coffee shop and smelt your distress. Wanna know why??? Because you’re my fucking mate! But you’re a human! I didn’t want to freak you out, scare you away, and ruin my only chance with you. That’s why I went along with the fake dating, that’s why I wanted to get to know you, and fuck it’s the main reason I can’t seem to not fucking want to touch you!!! Happy now?!?!”

She grabbed his tendrils and pulled his face down to hers; she kissed the absolute fuck outta him. Holy. Shit. She actually made the move. She was kissing him. And by Gods was it the best damn kiss he ever had.

He felt her tongue press demandingly against his lips and he eagerly let her in. She roamed his mouth and it took all he had not to slam her against the wall and rut the shit outta her. Especially when she moaned when she stroked his fang. Her extra spicy scent came alive and she was clinging to him like a freakin’ spider monkey. Her hands were wrapped around his neck, woven in his hair, and her thick perfect muscular thighs were entangled in his own legs. He should slow this down right? Give her an option. Because anything further he won’t be able to stop. His cock was already pressing into her abdomen--soon to be her sex if she continued to try and climb him like a fucking tree. Not that he minded. It was hotter than the seventh hell.

He pushed her away and whimpered. WHIMPERED. What was she doing to him??

“Kagome--we don’t have to--”

“Shut up please--I’ve wanted you from day 1. But originally this was-- well I actually don’t know what it was because clearly it wasn’t fake. Even though it was. I don’t know. But for the love of God pleaseeeeeeee stop talking and being rational for---however long it takes to have sex and just--”

He interrupted her by slamming his mouth back into hers and swallowed her loud moan. Lifting her up with ease, his cock aligned with her clit. His hips were thrusting into hers. She was grinding into him. Fuck. It was like he was a goddamn virgin all over again. He thought he was going to blow his load right then.

But the last thing he needed to do was fuck her right here on the couch. No--Miroku and Sango would be back for dinner probably within the next hour. If it was gonna happen, they needed to get to her bedroom. That way, he could try to keep her quiet until dinner was fully cooked as he ravished her beautiful body for the next couple of hours.

She was a virgin. She deserved the fucking best.

He carried her to the bedroom and slowly lowered her onto the bed, following so their bodies never lost contact. His mouth devoured her in a way he had never kissed anyone before. He was nipping her, suckling her, shit. She really didn’t care that he was a half demon.

That’s when it dawned on him where her crafty little hands were headed. The moment he felt her dainty soft fingers caress his ears. That's when the rumble came. He was fucking blissed out. If he could, he’d lay here all night. Fuck dinner. Fuck sleep. Fuck anything that had literally nothing to do with them not touching.

Her giggle brought him back to consciousness.

“Too good?” She purred. Goddamn. She should be against the law. She was too much.

“Fuck--you’re never gonna leave this bed.”

“Mmmmm, good. I don’t want to if that means you’ll stay here.”

“Deal,” he said, diving back on her. He took his mouth and moved it down her jaw. Then her neck, then--oh shit they still had clothes on. That could be easily fixed. “Do you like this shirt?”

“Huh?” Oh good--at least he had the same intoxicating effect on her as she did on him.

“Shirt--do you like it?”

“I’m confused by the question,” she admitted pressing his face back into the junction between her neck and shoulder. Keh. That was all he really needed for an answer. His claws ripped through her shirt and his hands immediately began kneading and tugging on her breasts.

“Ahhhhhh, Inu---Gods,” she wailed.

“Like that Ka-Go-Me?”

“Yesssss,” she whined writhing beneath him. Her hips were stick bucking up against his. He knew what she needed. His ears stood at attention as his hand dipped between them and his fingers sunk into her moist folds.

Her breath hitched as she whined pitifully as he toyed with her clit. He pinched, circle, kneaded, and pressed hard seeing what action would push her over the edge. The mixture of the moments seemed to be doing it though--she was panting. Between her nipple being squeezed, her neck being ravished by his teeth and tongue, and her nub being stimulated she was lost to the world around her.

“Cum for me, Kagome,” he demanded softly into her ear before taking the lobe between his teeth and yanking softly.

Her cry was fucking magical. Musical. She should be a goddamn singer. Shit. They needed to get rid of some clothing. Scratch that; they needed to get rid of all their clothing. He toyed with her a little more until she fully came back and was kissing his cheek. He withdrew his hand and toyed with the button on her jeans. She helped him by taking over and unbuttoning. He finished unzipping and pushed them down with her help as she arched off the bed. If that was the sexiest thing he had ever seen.

He undid his own pants as he sat up slowly, pulling away from her wandering hands. He was shocked when he pulled his shirt over his head and saw her sitting there with him. Her hands refused to cease their movements as she traced the lines of his abs. He groaned but wanted her to explore. Trying to remain still, he realized her breasts were still encased in her bra.

“Do you like that bra?” He smirked cheekily.

“It’s a set--I’ll take it off,” she huffed, annoyed that she was going to have to stop her ministrations. He chuckled and set forth taking off his jeans and boxers by rising from the bed. Her eyes were like saucers as she stared at his twitching cock.

“Like what you see?” he asked, trying to break the tension. She didn’t answer. Was she scared? Turned off? He was pretty sure he looked normal…

She startled him when she was on the edge of her bed and slowly extended her hand to stroke him. He flinched initially which made her retract her hand. Shaking off his shock, he pulled her hand back to touch him. OH fuck. Had he ever had sex? Did he dream about losing his virginity?? Fuck her hand was amazing. He was nervous now to enter her. Maybe he should let her get round one out of the way first. Honestly he definitely should be getting round two started for her to make sure she was wet enough to enter her without totally hurting her.

Her hand continued its work until suddenly he felt it encased with wet fucking heat. Her mouth. Her mouth was on his goddamn fucking dick. Holy Gods. Shit. Fuck. Don’t stop. Wait--did he say that out loud? Likely not coherently. It probably was a gurgling sound mixed with her name. Maybe even syllables. He wasn’t sure. Nothing was actually processing that well when her fucking tongue was swirling around his tip and licking off the pre-cum that leaked out.

He needed to focus. He didn’t want her to choke on his cock. Even though her little breathy wet sounds on were literally killing him, he honestly didn’t want to hurt her or make her gag. He needed to control himself and NOT thrust. Nope. Self-control. Self--

Her teeth were scrapping him. Oh for fuck’s sake. He tapped her and muttered cuming. Or at least he thought that’s what he said. It could have been that he was a cat. That perfect little mouth, her slender tiny hands that were cupping his balls were making him forget his damn name.

She hummed and that officially did him in. He exploded in her mouth, his hands threaded through her hair, and he gently pushed himself back and forth in his mouth as she drank him in. All of him. And that was fucking hot enough to keep him hard.

But he needed to take care of her next. He officially owed her like ten orgasms. Because that was his best one he had ever fucking had.

Oh, and the little crafty little vixen looked up at him with eyes so full of mayhem then licked her lips. Yea, nope, he had to wipe that little smirk off her mouth.

He pushed her back onto her back on the bed and then took her underwear by the sides and slid them down her legs. Once they were fully down, he began kissing up her calves, licking and nipping her thighs until he laid between them and pulled them up over her shoulders.

“Please, Inuyasha,” she begged.

“Only because you said please,” he replied before licking between her folds. She cried out blissfully. Gods, she was so sensitive. He was loving it. To be fair, she made him melt like butter in heat too. Maybe that was the power of mateship.

He used his tongue to penetrate her first making her whimper and arch off the back. Barely holding in his laugh, he held her hip firmly in one hand. His other hand took his tongue’s place as he shifted to circle her jewel. He inserted one finger first, then two, then finally three until she was pulsing around him. Her whimpers, whines, groans, begging kept him almost unbearably hard. He found himself grinding himself into her mattress for some relief. Once she came he was going to fuck her. He had to. Well, after he asked her--one last time.

Speaking the action into life, she came with a scream of his name. Fucking. Music. To. His. Ears. He maintained contact with his fingers as he slunk his way back up to her mouth and kissed her back to life.

Once she was responding and humming her approval, he retracted his finger and paused in his actions.

“Are you sure about this Kagome?”

“Inuyasha please, I need you. I want you so badly it hurts,” she pleaded.

“This isn’t--”

“Oh my God why am I begging you to have sex with me???” She was actually crying. He needed to calm her down. Jesus Christ.

“Hey hey, it’s not that I don’t want to. Trust me--I want to. Fuck do I want you, Kagome. You’re perfect. I just didn’t want to rush you--this--I know how this shit started. I just didn’t wanna put you out.”

“We love each other right??”

“I mean--yes--”

“Then how are we rushing,” she breathed, kissing him gently. That kiss was all the encouragement he needed. He lined up to her entrance and slowly poked to make sure she was serious. That she wouldn’t stop him. If anything, he felt her try to edge downward to take him in making him chuckle.

He finally snapped his hips forward and destroyed her hyman. After swallowing her gasp and cry, he removed his mouth and roamed her face kissing her cheeks, temples, forehead and then laved her tears that spilled from her eyes.

She finally twisted, albeit a little awkwardly, as if she was trying to get used to the feeling of being so full of him, and then groaned. Yep. Nope. He couldn’t control the buck he sent back in reply even if he wanted to. Her moan of reply was enough to make him keep going.

Her hot little body responded to every thrust he gave her with her own. He began picking up pace and he was shocked she was able to keep up with him. But her whimpers told him it wasn’t enough. He had never tried this, but, then again, he was doing a lot of things with Kagome he had never tried before.

He moved his hands that had been cradling her face to her thighs and lifted her ass off the mattress and sat up. Her answering wail and hands clenching onto his arms were enough to keep him going. He felt her walls tightening on his hard cock that was thrusting in and out of her tight area. Watching what he was doing to her was almost too much--but she was close. Luckily, he had large enough hands where he merely had to just adjust to use one of his thumbs while keeping a tight grip on her hips to press against her swollen overly sensitive and excited nub. Two strokes was all it took until her walls were clamping down on him and her voice was being sung to the neighbors upstairs and downstairs of her apartment.

He moved one arm to swing around her back so she sitting atop him as he kept fucking her. He buried his head into her neck and groaned.

“Kagome--I’m gonna--”

“Come for me,” she panted.

“I’m gonna mark you--” he gritted out of his elongated fangs. His only response was a moan as she shifted to tilt her bare open neck towards his mouth. Fuck. Did he mention she was absolutely in every way shape and form perfect?

He clamped down on her neck and drove himself into her one final time before he came inside her. When he finally came down from his orgasm, he realized her mark had been cleaned and shown like the demonic markings he had on his cheeks.

“Kagome?”

“Hmmm?” she hummed happily stroking his cheek to bring his face to hers.

“Are you okay?”

“Mhmmmm,” she purred, kissing him. Fuck. He was perfectly screwed.

They spent the next hour strengthening their newly formed bond. He kept trying to swallow her groans, moans, wails, whatever she gave but he began failing because she brought out his own.

They finally emerged for dinner with a very brightly blushing Sango and a wickedly smirking Miroku. Kagome was bashful but Inuyasha only expelled confidence and pride. At dinner, they chatted, confirmed what they had done, and decided a celebration was in order.

What started out as a charade, ended with the most real thing Inuyasha had ever felt in his life. Kagome. The most perfect woman he could have ever had the pleasure of calling his.

Shelter Part 5 sneak

My poor beta was like “I don’t wanna do anything. I have 0 motivation to write Through the Night”.

I then reminded her I wrote almost 10 pages of Shelter... Her face lit up like Christmas morning!!

So here’s a sneak peek since it obviously put her over the moon

Tag Wall

@kagometaishostory @dangerouspompadour @lemonlushff @willowandfog @cstormsinukagblog @littlestuffstohide @clearwillow @ruddcatha @hnnwnchstr @smmahamazing @wolverine1092 @inuyashaloverforever @xfangheartx @umacaking @bluejay785 @murdergiraffe @superpixie42 @shnuggletea @sistasecbhere @nopenname22 @mcornilliac @sapphirestarxx @fawn-eyed-girl @liz8080 @neutronstarchild @arcprz @kaze-ranna @alerialblu @nsr0716 @sailorbabydoll92 @sailorlolo @swaggingtomboy @mamabearcat

SPOILERS AHEAD:

When Kagome hit the floor Inuyasha lost control; his youki rose and he reached down to grab her.

“What the fuck!?” He snarled loudly.

“The curse has been enacted,” Sesshomaru informed him as he and Rin rose from their seated position with Koga.

“But--they--did they know, my lord?” Rin questioned worriedly as she beckoned Shippo to come be by her. She lifted the kit up and stood behind her lord as best as she could from her place at the table.

“Miroku knew… He knew it was too late to stop it once the object was touched. The selfish idiot sacrificed himself!” Sango yelled, slamming her fists down onto the monk’s chest hard, but he did not even flinch.

Both he and Kagome were out cold--not even with peace or pain. They were just… unconscious. Not being able to scent his mate’s emotions or sense what going on was driving him mad.

Sesshomaru didn’t bother trying to snap him out of his stupor either; he knew what it was like to be so uncertain and absolutely afraid of why they were unconscious. But he also likely knew if he fucking touched him, he’d lose his left arm. Koga remained quiet--thankfully. He couldn’t deal with him either. Yea, Kagome and Shippo appeased his worries, but the state of mind he was moving to, he knew logic wasn’t going to settle his insecurities.

There was a very clear roaring in his head; he closed his eyes and realized he needed to calm the fuck down.

What are you doing?! We must save our mate!!

Calm down--fuck--I need to think!

Hanyou!! Are you mad?!

Please for the love of God, shut up. Listen--her heartbeat is steady. She’s--I don’t know.

Half-breed LET ME OUT!

You comin’ out ain’t gonna change anything!! Just for her--let me handle this!!!

His inner half snarled loudly but simmered down. Finally, he had some fucking peace. He felt drained even though he hadn’t even been fighting anything. His fucking youkai was just becoming an unstoppable force lately; he needed to work with Sesshomaru again. It felt like he was literally back at square one in learning how to control himself.

“Lord Inuyasha?” He heard Rin call calmly.

“I’m fine--for now.”

“It takes time to adjust, brother,” Sesshomaru added. Bastard could probably see where his thoughts were.

“Adjust??” Sango questioned.

“This one is not speaking about the curse---but about his youki.”

“Look--I’m not concerned about his instincts going wild about his mate being unconscious! I’m worried about my husband!”

“Do you know of how a curse works?” Koga asked gruffly.

“Just what Miroku has told me,” she conceded, turning her attention back to her husband, stroking his hair from his face. “They likely were taken into her mind since the curse was made from her ring and hair… Until they face what her mind projects, they’ll be stuck like this.”

“Slayer, if the monk knew of this, why did he not warn the miko?”

“Something I’m sure Inuyasha has learned by now is that spiritualists often keep secrets about those kinds of things. I still don’t understand why--it’s like they are raised to confide in each other. Miroku likely knew what was going to happen and didn’t want her to face it alone so proceeded to allow himself to get cursed along with her.”

“Why? What happens inside their heads during a curse?” Koga demanded.

“Hell,” Sango answered simply. “It’s like they are in hell…”

Shelter

Part 4

Posted to AO3 HERE!!!!

THERE BE SMOOOOOOOOTS

Tag Wall:

Kagome honestly wasn’t sure exactly what she was more embarrassed about. The fact everyone basically saw her naked, the odd phenomenon of her ancestor appearing after Inuyasha had just finished pumping her full of his seed, or the mortifying need that arose in her to rejoin with him again after Kikyo disappeared.

She honestly wasn’t sure. The whole situation was not what she expected her first time to be like.

Really, she never had thought about it in general until they were liplocked and grinding against each other, losing themselves to the burning connection between them; but, if she had before their heated kiss, she never would have placed Kikyo’s ghost, the demon slayer who couldn’t seem to stomach the sight of her, a monk, and her now brother and sister-in-law all in the same room as her, andddddd then being pulled out to take a bath rather than allowing her and her mate to bask in the afterglow.

Yea no, definitely not what she dreamed about. If anything she would have been willing, no, needing to mate again with him; afterall she had been so relieved to hear she hadn’t sentenced him to death and that the jewel was also gone. They were so happy; he was smug and she, thankful.

The way their bodies just molded together, the tender loving touches he gave her, the intimate kisses, his hot breath in her ear, down her neck, his flaming tongue skimming over her breasts and between her folds, the strong muscles her hands grasped on his back, arms, chest...

She was hot. Burning. Would it be rude if she turned around and made her way back to his room??

Not knowing it possible she became even more uncomfortable when they entered the bathroom; it was literally a GIANT room full of hot springs. Where were they? Honestly she hadn’t seen the outside of the castle; she had only seen his room, the hallway, the study, and now the bathing room. Well, she did see outside to the gated-off porch from Inuyasha’s room. Not that she had been outside yet. But she had never been around this much--extravagance.

As the village priestess, she lived very humbly. A small hut with her family, enough to eat and drink but… trips to the hot springs were never on the schedule. She was lucky if her cleansing spiritual baths in the lake and adjoining waterfall were warmed by the sun. But this-- Gods .

Kagome knew Inuyasha’s brother was the Lord of the Western Lands. In reality she'd never been far from the north where Koga’s tribe was and they were far from flashy. She usually only went to the nearby villages if someone needed a blessing or help with a rogue demon.

That direction of thought made her begin to worry; how were they doing? Were they okay? Did Naraku leave them alone and just follow her? Did he go back to her village? Did he trick the villagers to hate her further? What about her family--

“Lady Kagome?” Rin asked and she helped her into the water. Kagome hadn’t even registered Rin had stripped her and had stepped into the bath herself.

“Huh?” She slightly jumped from startlement having been so lost in thought. “Oh, I-I’m sorry, my lady.”

Rin helped her ease down, shaking her head with a soft smile, “Just sister or Rin, will do. You are officially family now.” With the annunciation, Rin stroked the mating mark Inuyasha had left upon her shoulder. Shivering, even though she was far from cold in two ways, she smiled at the evidence of her and Inuyasha binding their souls together.

As Kagome sank down into the water, she hissed from the contact on her sex. She hadn’t realized she was so sore. Or raw may have been the better choice of words. Maybe it was a blessing Rin took her away for a bath. She probably was more experienced in that area; well, she had to be since she was pregnant.

She heard the shoji door pop open when she was fully seated in the water. Rin turned her head towards the entrance as well. Kagome saw the woman demon slayer enter in just a yukata looking bashful and slightly uncomfortable.

“I was asked to join you,” she mumbled with a blush upon her face.

It wasn’t in Kagome’s nature to hold grudges. She smiled softly and nodded to the woman, “Come join us then. We don’t mind--right, Sister?”

Rin eagerly nodded and the slayer dropped the yukata and stepped in the water. She tied up her hair and then turned away from them looking for a place to rest--away from them. Which was okay; Kagome didn’t want to force a friendship on her. It was when her back was turned Kagome saw a giant scar that stretched up and down her back. She couldn’t hold in the gasp that escaped her mouth and caught the slayer’s attention.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to stare,” Kagome quickly apologized.

“It’s alright. It happened long ago on a job.”

“It marks you as a warrior though; you should wear it proudly,” Rin offered.

“Hm,” the slayer hummed.

“Uhm… Sango was it?” The slayer in turn nodded. “I am sorry for what happened to your village. I am slightly responsible for Naraku attacking your village.”

“I… I am also sorry. I allowed my emotions to get the best of me. I didn’t allow myself to rationally process what had actually occurred. You do not owe me any form of apology, Lady Priestess.”

“Kagome,” she corrected.

“Kagome, then. I do truly apologize for my emotional behavior earlier.”

“There isn’t anything to forgive. It was just a misunderstanding.”

Sango smiled at her and nodded as she relaxed into the water. Rin rose and scooted around to sit behind Kagome. She felt Rin brushing through her locks. Turning, she saw Rin using some really creamy soaps. She didn’t smell a scent coming from them--likely because her sister’s mate also had a very sensitive nose.

In their time in the hut, she learned things he liked and didn’t like; spicy food in particular was not something he enjoyed. At all. Not that he even let her pick the designated herbs to even let her make a batch for themselves.

Blushing at the memory of how he would carry her into the woods, holding her close and so carefully so he would jostle her when he leapt from tree to tree… It was clear now he was subtly pressing his nose to her hair, letting his hands cup her body--she was just as subtle as she had pressed her nose into his haori--

She felt a brush of his youki against hers startling her from her ever wandering thoughts. His concern made her smile as she stroked her reiki back comfortingly. Idly, she began to wonder what they were talking about.

“Sango?” Kagome began. “Why were you asked to join us? Not that I--or rather we-- mind, just--curious, is all.”

“There is no reason for you to be nervous around me, Kagome. I think they wanted to discuss with Lord Inuyasha something that was delivered at the castle gates.”

“But why without you?” Kagome questioned.

“My lord likely wanted it discussed with the lord monk and your mate to see how to proceed,” Rin offered and as she rinsed through Kagome’s hair.

“What do you mean? Why just them?”

“Miroku sealed the evil that he could sense from the… object. They also wanted to see if Inuyasha recognized what it was,” Sango hesitated.

“‘Object’?” Kagome pried.

“Hmmm…” Rin hummed. “My lord has taken you as his own charge-- because you are family. He likely wanted to discuss with your mate just his thoughts before we eat dinner.”

“But why wouldn’t they let us join??”

“Likely Lord Sesshomaru wanted Lady Sango to join us just in case something disturbing were to occur. Not that I do not think you are unable to handle yourself, sister but….”

“The object was cursed… for me wasn’t it?”

“Yes,” Sango answered simply.

Kagome began to worry. Obviously it was Naraku at work. It was his way of sending a message; but to what end? And why? How did he know where she was? Could he sense her? Is that how he found her? But why didn’t she ever sense him?? There had to be more to it than just that…

Whatever she was feeling before she had entered the water dried up--her mind went from sex to panic. She figured Rin and Sango also felt her nervousness but didn’t mention anything of it. Instead Rin asked how Sango and Miroku had met.

“We had met a couple times on some jobs that required a spiritualist and a slayer. Originally I was angered and disgusted by his… persistence. I hadn’t been brought up like a normal woman and the tactics of men letting a woman know they were interested wasn’t something I was used to.

“I also wasn’t overly fond of him paying attention to other girls after he had just proposed to me so I brushed off his advances. Obviously he had plenty of other women who would bear his children.

“But he would stop paying attention to the other women and would follow us back to our village. He kept trying to pursue me, even when I would smack him after getting a little too familiar with his touches and tell him it was never going to happen.

“Soon enough I realized he actually was serious when we would repeat visit the villages or even meet elsewhere and the women asked why he never came back… Apparently he was just a giant flirt. The fact he continuously only asked me for my hand weirded me out. I couldn’t wrap my head around it! I even confronted him about it--demanding to know what was going on in his perverted and twisted head! He, of course, laughed and said that I was worth the work. He honestly wanted to be with me and no one else.

“It wasn’t until we were exorcising a bear demon that it became truly apparent to me. When he leapt in front of the demon and took a hit for me I realized how serious he was. He almost lost his life for the sake of mine and his actions forced me to be honest about my own feelings regarding him. Despite the way I had continuously brushed his advances aside, no one had made me feel the way he did, like I was special and someone to be treasured. He also was never intimidated or threatened by my strength, unlike most other men I had come across. It wasn’t a feeling I was used to and secretly I liked it. All the time I had spent with him...I had grown so attached to his presence by my side and developed a deep affection for him. So I remained behind with him when my family left and… well, when he asked me again to bear his children I said yes.

“He actually became a changed man after that. Somehow he convinced the elders at the temple to allow him to move into our village, talked my father into allowing him to be housed with us until we could have our own hut built.

“We were married within a month and have been happy ever since.”

“That’s so wonderful,” Kagome said happily. “He sounds like he realized what he found in you was real.”

“I suppose so. We’ve been together for two springs now.”

“How romantic,” Rin hummed as she rinsed through Kagome’s hair.

“What about you, Lady Rin? How did you and Lord Sesshomaru meet?” Sango asked as she rested her elbows on her knees.

Kagome was actually quite curious on how they had met. Inuyasha hadn’t known when she asked--or didn’t care to tell. Back when they were stranded in the hut when she was injured and healing, they had talked about his brother and now sister-in-law. But when she had asked, he seemed uninterested. Or rather hurt. He seemed like he had been doing better with the whole situation now. Hopefully.

They were only able to briefly talk about his feelings before they--

And there went her heated desires stirring within her belly once again. Blushing, she tried to hide her obvious line of thinking but only heard Rin giggle in response.

“Oh, you poor thing. The mating mark is calling, isn’t it?” Rin teased.

“Wait--what--??” Kagome started.

“Ahhhh, I’ve heard of that. As demon slayers, we had to learn about demon nature and mating was a huge lesson. It’s when a demon takes a make they often end up… indisposed for some time.”

“Yes it is due to their inner instincts. They have to make the bond so--perfect and indestructible that they often will lock their mate away for days to make sure the bond is secure and established so that no other demon can threaten it or try to destroy it,” Rin sighed… Ok. Kagome was officially turned off again knowing she was talking from personal experience.

“D-Days??” Kagome stuttered.

“Sometimes even a month,” Sango replied. “It depends on how well they were bonded before the biting mark was placed.”

“O-Oh g-goodness,” Kagome flushed from the idea of being locked in his room for a month only doing t-that.

“Lord Inuyasha and you likely will not have to do that for days. The fact he allowed me to take you away to bathe and that he didn’t attack us upon entering your chambers was a good sign,” Rin soothed as she began to braid Kagome’s hair.

“B-but--”

“Oh, yes, you will likely end mating a lot in the next couple days,” Rin agreed with her worries. “That is why I wanted to make sure you bathed and were cleaned properly. Especially since it was probably quite some time since you last had a proper bath. But I also figure you were likely sore, and a nice warm cleanse would do the trick.”

Kagome nodded as she blushed, “It was a good idea. I do appreciate it. N-not that I didn’t want to--I mean--”

“It’s alright, Sister. Relax. This is a safe place. Right, Lady Sango?”

“Of course. After two years of marriage, not much can make me blush at this point.”

“Do you and Lord Miroku have children?” Kagome asked.

“Yes; we have twin girls back at home with my younger brother.”

“Are you planning on having anymore?” Rin winked.

“Yes; but we are waiting until after this whole Naraku mess has been taken care of. We are already worried about the possible dangers now being away from home.”

“My lord has ensured that his protection is visible at your village while you are away,” Rin said softly. “I understand your worries, but because you are helping us, you and your village have been taken under his charge as well. We appreciate all you have done for us so far and hope we can rely on your strength in the coming turmoil.”

“Rin... Why did you mate with Lord Sesshomaru? You never answered. I-if I’m prying--please, tell me and I’ll--”

“Oh no, I’m sorry! Hahahahaha, no; I meant to answer but I noticed your hazy expression and it reminded me of myself a couple years ago.”

“How old are you, Lady Rin?” Sango asked.

“Uhmmm…about twenty-two. Almost twenty-three. Sesshomaru found me when I was just over nineteen. My village had been attacked by bandits. I lost most of my family… friends…

“But Lord Sesshomaru saved me and the other women right before we were--well--”

“No need to elaborate,” Sango offered.

“The other women were terrified of him--but I was just so entranced. He was so handsome and stunning. While he had a cold face and seemed emotionless, I could still sense the worry coming from him in waves. I could see he cared because he had helped us when he didn’t have to. Afterall, he was the ruler of the West to demons. Yes, he allowed humans to reside in his lands, but he was known to not get involved in human affairs.

“Even now, I’m not certain as to why he had been in the area. But, I stood unsteadily and… he caught me as my legs gave out. Without a word, he pulled out a spare kimono from the armor he wore and wrapped my bare body in it and flew us home.

“He had the healers see me and he had refused to leave. Whatever I had been feeling for him, he had obviously felt it too. He offered to take me back to my village, but also said if I wanted to I could remain here.

“And… well… It wasn’t too long after that we mated. I made him make amends, or at least try to mend things with Lord Inuyasha. It wasn’t his fault he was born from their father and Inuyasha’s mortal mother.

“Because Lord Sesshomaru was born from an… heir mating rather than an actual mate-bond, he felt mates were non-existent. When Inuyasha was born, it deeply hurt Lord Sesshomaru. He felt he was being replaced with a son he actually wanted rather than needed. He felt he could only serve his father but not as a son would--but as an ally.

“But after meeting me, I believe he finally came to understand his father. And he regretted how he treated his younger brother.”

It really dawned on Kagome how much Rin must have changed Sesshomaru after the way Inuyasha had described him. Uncaring. Distant. Cold.

With Rin’s love and understanding, he was able to outgrow his original disdain for Inuyasha and was finally about to move on.

Rin helped her rise out of the bath. Sango followed suit and they all dried off. Pulling open the door to the changing room, Rin reached in and selected three new robes; colorful, bright yukatas. Kagome was awed by the fancy silk material covered with intricate patterns. They were so regal, so elegant, and only served to reinforce the sheer opulence of the estate Rin shared with Sesshomaru. Sango seemed just as touched by the gesture but was waved off by Rin.

Rin was literally the exact opposite of those things. She just seemed so much warmer. Like she could radiate a room with her smile alone. For a Lady, a woman in power, she did tasks that were so beneath her. She washed her hair and even rubbed her shoulders. Explained things she hadn’t needed to. Coming from a simpler way of life, and coming so close to having that life ended, must have given her a better appreciation of everything she had gained since meeting Sesshomaru.

Kagome dressed herself in a dark purple yukata with orange and green swirls, Sango was given one that was mainly pink with hues of purple and yellow, and Rin wore one of royal blue with red and white swirls. Kagome thought it oddly resembled Sesshomaru’s haori and hakama set, only rather than the base being white, hers was blue and the swirls of white were all over the kimono but the red matched where his designs had set.

“Comfortable?” Rin inquired.

“Yes, thank you La--I mean Sister,” Kagome said with a bow.

“Yes, thank you Lady Rin,” Sango offered a bow as well.

“Please--you are our guests. I’m sure dinner must be ready. Your mate is surely ready and waiting for you,” Rin said with a wink. Kagome blushed completely scarlet.

Rin led the way to the dining hall and they were greeted with only a few demonic servants. Kagome saw only three but they held food trays in each of their hands. Maybe Sesshomaru didn’t like to have that many people on hand? Inuyasha had also mentioned to her his disdain for humans…

Was it possible that his staff had decreased when he took a human mate? Or was he just… more private in general?

Kagome finally took a survey of the room and noticed the men were sitting, waiting for them. Miroku sat across from Sesshomaru, Inuyasha sat directly to Sesshomaru’s left side on the other side of the table. It was then she saw how intensely his golden eyes were raking over her body.

Oh God. She forgot how much she wanted him. How much she was craving him. She squirmed a little bit under his intense gaze and pinched her thighs together as she took her lip in her mouth.

The sight before her only made her hotter when she saw him cock an eyebrow and then smirk. Oh Gods. She was screwed. Wait--no--she shouldn’t think that. She was a priestess for goodness sake; she could control herself and her needs. It wasn’t like she was thinking about how it would feel if he pinned her up against the wall again and drove his leg between her legs and-- WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HER?!

Sesshomaru clearing his throat was probably what really made her the most mortified. Of course if her mate could smell her excitement--he obviously could too.

Was there an option for her to opt out and jump from the window down to the gardens to dig her own grave from dying of embarrassment? No? Not an option? Well damn…

Inuyasha had walked from his room to the dining hall with the monk who was going on about what the women were doing and what a sight it likely was to behold. While his demonic half wanted to kill the bastard for even suggesting he would look upon his mate, he had to rationalise the monk was just talking. He seemed rather loyal to his human wife. Even so much so that he would try to show her kindness and defend her to a pack of demons.

But the comment itself spun him into another realization; he had the crazy undying need to want to fuck his bitch again. And again. And again. And then probably one more time.

Damn. He was just as bad as that pervert next to him. What was wrong with him? It hadn’t been that bad before they had mated… Not really. Yea, he wanted to rut her but he could control himself. He’d gone through puberty. Sure he’d wished he hadn’t tasted her body when he healed her, let alone see everything those dingy miko robes had hidden from his view...But--well shit . Now he couldn’t get his dick to calm the fuck down.

Reminding himself of the situation at hand only helped slightly. The fact his thoughts kept going back to his bare breasted mate launching herself into his arms and kissing him senseless after the dead priestess disappeared was making him crazy. He just kept wondering what or where that would have headed if the others hadn’t interrupted.

He stepped into the dining room and his brother was already sitting at the kotatsu awaiting the others. Miroku took a spot across from his brother so Inuyasha did the proper thing and sat at his brother’s left hand side. The look Sesshomaru gave him softened his cock fully. Even though demons weren’t as embarrassed or uncomfortable by the smell of arousal like humans, it didn’t make Inuyasha feel any better that his brother knew where his thoughts lied.

Which was right between his mate’s thighs.

“It is normal to be thinking such thoughts. They will not subside until the bond is strengthened to the likings of your youkai.”

“Fuck. How long does that fucking take?”

“Depending on how strong your bond is already. The level of trust, love, conviction, and satiation will all play factors in the length of time.”

“Pardon, but what are you both--”

“None of your fucking business, monk,” Inuyasha interrupted. “Sesshomaru how long--uh, you know, nevermind.” It occurred to him he actually didn’t want to know how many times he fucked his sister-in-law until his body didn’t crave it like food in a famine.

“Our bond was fairly established before we mated.”

“Ohhhhhhh,” the pervert smirked.

“Say another word, and I will literally rip your mouth off your face.”

“No need to be embarrassed. I know in the demon world finding one’s mate is a full blessing! I did not mean to make you uncomfortable,” Miroku apologized.

“His human half does not allow him to see past the discomfort of talking about mating.”

“Can we just not fucking talk??”

There was finally silence but then Rin, Sango and his mate entered the room. He caught her beautiful clear ocean blue eyes--

And he was a goner. Especially when he smelled her spicy hot cinnamon scent that burst from her. Fuck. She felt the effects too. And her eyes were heated and about to be glazed over with lust. He smirked at her and then the bastard had to clear his damn throat.

Son of a bitch. Literally.

Later we will take what is ours .

Please, for the love of any God, not fucking now.

We desire our mate and she desires us. Isn’t that something to be happy about?

Yea yea. I ain’t complaining. I just don’t want to talk to your ass right now--I wanna stare at--

“How was your bath, Sango?”

Goddamnit.

“It was very nice. Lady Rin is very hospitable.”

“D-Did you have a good bath, Kagome?” Why was he nervous?

When she knelt down beside him, he swore she was the sun and he couldn’t look away. She was bright, loving, literally radiating happiness and beauty. Her kind eyes shone like diamonds, “Yes. The palace is beautiful. Thank you for hosting us.”

“We are not hosting you,” Sesshomaru said coldly.

“My lord is correct; this is your home now. If that is what you want,” Rin offered, placing a hand on Sesshomaru’s lap.

“That is very kind of you,” Kagome bowed. Fuck. How was bowing so sexy? Was it because he was thinking about the last time she had done that and took his cock in her--

“Did you mention the object we received while you were cleansing?” Miroku asked Sango.

“Yes… but not in great detail,” Sango admitted. “I figured she would want to actually see it.”

“Yes, please. Wh-what was it? What did Naraku leave here?”

Sesshomaru then spoke, “He left a ring with your hair attached along with a finger. The monk has already sealed the finger, as we sensed the jyaki from it. We could not risk the potential of it affecting others.”

“A--A---A--” she was spiraling. Inuyasha grabbed her and pulled her to his lap and wrapped his arms around her. The rumble that emerged from his chest was purely instinct. He couldn’t help but try to calm her body that instead of reeking from arousal now wept with unadulterated fear.

“Kagome, it’s ok, I’m right here.”

“W-Who’s--Who’s was it??”

“I don’t know…” Inuyasha admitted.

“Lady Kagome, I know this must be painful for you but please, until you know everything you must try to remain calm,” Miroku added.

“Lord Koga is on his way here with more information, sister. Please, it’s going to be okay. Lord Inuyasha won’t allow any harm to befall you.”

He could tell she wasn’t going off the rails but still was afraid. “Kagome?”

“Koga is coming? Why??”

“We knew you were from his territory and needed to learn more about what was going on,” Sango offered, trying not to offend his skittish mate.

“He--he’s going to be so mad,” she sobbed into his chest. He forgot she mentioned she just left. Took off. No word or anything to protect everyone.

“Kagome--did Hojo give you a ring?”

She froze in her sobs, “Y-Yes… the ring Naraku sent was likely mine. I left it with my family.”

“You didn’t return it to him?” Inuyasha asked.

“No. I--It was late when I left. I didn’t have time to return it. My mother might have, though,” she whispered into his haori.

Sesshomaru nodded his understanding and Inuyasha returned the gesture, thankful she wouldn’t have to repeat herself in the state she was in. Inuyasha looked to his brother again and noticed his attention had shifted. “Our guest has arrived.”

Rin rose beside him and walked to the dining hall door. Opening the door, she revealed the thick stench of wolf. Jaken entered first and shortly after a fox demon walked through with the wolf right behind him.

The wolf looked around the room and stalled when he laid eyes on Kagome. He seemed shocked to see her. Was it because she was in an intimate position with him? Or because she was with a half-breed?

“Ka-Kagome…” He stuttered.

“Kagome!!!!” The little fox cried, running before the wolf could grab him and launching himself across the table.

Kagome had pulled away at the sound of the young fox’s cry and leaned forward away from Inuyasha to catch the fox in her arms, “Shippo!”

She pulled him close to her chest and sank back into his hold and cried.

“I thought I’d never see you again!” Shippo cried.

“I’m so sorry Shippo. I never meant to hurt anyone--I just wanted to protect you, the pack, the villagers, my family--”

“Don’t feed us that shit, Kagome. You know we could have protected you! You ran away! I looked for you for days!! But I couldn't leave my pregnant mate!” Koga snarled.

Inuyasha returned the favor and growled menacingly right back, “Back off, wolf.”

“And then you went and mated with this ?? What the fuck were you thinking!! You were supposed to marry that human boy!”

“I didn’t love Hojo, let alone even like him like that!” Kagome yelled back. That was his girl.

“Kagome--You’re better than this! You can’t be serious!!”

“Koga he’s my mate!!” She finally yelled, still holding the fox kit in her arms. He seemed completely oblivious in her arms, seeming to soak up her presence just as Inuyasha was.

The wolf lord stopped in his tracks. Rin stood behind him with Jaken in front of her as Sesshomaru had risen from his seated position. The tension could be cut with his sword.

“He’s--you--he’s your what ?!!” Koga finally snapped back.

“I didn’t stutter, Koga!! He’s. My. Mate.”

“That’s not possible! He’s a half-breed!”

With that, Kagome was off his lap and she had dropped Shippo to the table as her power flared around her hotly as she said in a voice full of warning, “Koga.”

“Lord Koga, you address my brother and his mate as beneath you. You will recognize you are in their home and mine. The western lands welcome you and want you present but you will refrain from insulting them here forward.”

“What the fuck?? Lord Sesshomaru, get a grip! You didn’t respect the mutt ‘til you found your human mate. Why the change? Expecting half-breed pups??”

Now, normally, Inuyasha would have been the one to attack first and ask questions later. He hadn’t expected Sesshomaru to have leapt over the table and grab Koga in a choke hold pressing him against the wall.

“Lord Sesshomaru!” Rin cried as Jaken blocked her from stopping her mate.

“Oh fuck,” Koga chocked coughing. “She is pupped, isn’t she??”

Sesshomaru glared and Inuyasha felt his demonic aura increase. It made his own youki rise and he felt himself changing.

“ Brother. Let the wolf breathe ,” Inuyasha ordered in inuyoukai.

“ Beta will be silent .”

“ Alpha, my mate needs him .”

“ Both our mates have been insulted. That is unacceptable .”

“ Both mates will be in danger if we don’t allow the wolf to speak .”

“ He apologizes first. ”

“ As alpha commands, ” Inuyasha conceded.

With their conversation ended their instincts calmed somewhat. Sesshomaru finally exhaled and glared at Koga. “You will apologize to my mate, my brother, and his mate or you will be asked to leave.”

“I didn’t mean to insult Kagome, let alone your mate. From what I was taught--”

“You were taught wrong,” Sesshomaru growled.

“I apologize, Lord Inuyasha. Kagome. Lady Rin,” Koga bit out. Sesshomaru released his neck and stepped to his upset mate who immediately clung to him. Then Sesshomaru did something so uncharacteristic he wouldn’t have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. As Inuyasha watched he stroked Rin’s face, softly and tenderly. The usual stone-cold face actually showed concern. What. The. Fuck. As if that day couldn’t have gotten any weirder.

“Keh. Don’t care. They’re just words,” Inuyasha said as he relaxed back into the pillows of the table. He watched as his mate stayed stiff and glowered at her friend.

“Kagome… Don’t look at me like that.”

“I’m not a child Koga. You can’t treat me as such.”

“Kagome; you know I love you. I always have and always will. Can you blame me for trying to protect you?? Can you blame me for getting upset and angry you just took off and now, here you are, mated to a half-demon that last I had heard held no name, no title, no home, no nothing?? Do you think that’s the kind of life I would have wanted for you??”

Inuyasha slightly tensed. She loved him. She mated with him.

The wolf is competition to our mate bond .

He’s mated… or so she said.

Our bond is not completely solidified.

Wolves mate for life .

A demon is a demon. He can take more than one mate.

For the love of God--SHUT. UP.

Solidify the mate bond!

Kagome must've sensed his inner turmoil. Or maybe she heard him growling and whimpering as he had his eyes squeezed shut with his ears pressed down. Either way, she sank back onto his lap and stroked her fingers through his hair and then brought her hands to his cheeks.

“Hey… stay with me. It’s ok. Koga loves me and I love him--but not in that way. Not the way I love you,” she softly said as she licked his cheek. It took literally all he had not to fucking purr.

He found his face nuzzling her mark as she twisted her hands back into his hair and held him close.

Miroku clearing his throat followed by a grunt brought Inuyasha back to his senses. He locked eyes with the monk and saw the slayer had knocked him in the ribs. Good. Even though they got off on the wrong foot, he liked her. It seemed like she and Kagome had made amends in their bath.

“Uh--Inuyasha. For real, I’m sorry. I--I didn’t know. Or rather, I guess I didn’t see. I’m sure you know how special she is.”

Inuyasha looked at the wolf who had approached and was now standing where he was going to take his seat. Rin and Sesshomaru had made their way back to the table and were just sitting back down. The runt was sitting in Kagome's former spot studying Miroku. Koga was waiting for Inuyasha to accept his actual apology.

“I do… Thank you for lookin’ out for her,” Inuyasha conceded. Kagome smiled and kissed him lightly but fuck if it didn’t make his cock twitch. She must’ve felt it because before she shimmied her way off of his lap, she oh so very subtly ground her intimate bare heat against him. Oh fuck. He needed her.

But her, now sitting beside him, with the fox kit on her lap and her hand on his thigh, made him have to have control; thankfully he was able to contain himself. Mostly. He intertwined their hands and listened closely to the wolf’s story.

“Since Kagome left, Naraku hadn’t been as active as he was before. He would still appear in the mountains as if checking to see if she came back. I tried tracking him but my mate birthed twin cubs. So I couldn’t leave her. Them. I sent a couple of my men, and they were unable to pin him down.

“About after a couple weeks he completely disappeared. It wasn’t until about a month ago we noticed he popped back up.

“At first, we thought it was you, Kagome… but you never came to see us. We realized her scent was off and the fact she wouldn’t recognize or play with Shippo--it became pretty apparent it wasn’t her. We warned her family when we noticed she was gone from sight. They also noticed her acting strangely. We were able to take them to our caves but…”

“But?” Kagome asked.

“But… when we returned, your village was… gone,” Koga finished.

“Gone??” Her voice hitched. He noticed her hand around the kit that was snuggled into her chest dropped limply.

“I tried Kagome. I did. Your mother, brother, and grandpa are safe. I know that’s not a lot but… it’s something.”

“What about… Hojo? His family?”

“Hojo left the village looking for you. We haven’t heard from him. But his family… they’re gone as well.”

Inuyasha looked at his mate and realized she had gone numb. He pulled her back into his lap and rumbled softly for her. She clutched his haori, with Shippo pressed between them, and shivered from the realization.

“Lady Kagome--you know this isn’t your fault, right?” Miroku asked.

“He is right, Kagome!” Sango agreed. “You know this is Naraku’s doing. He wants you to feel guilty! You can’t fall for his schemes.”

“The question is why,” Sesshomaru added.

“Sister please, don’t--”

“Where is the finger?” Kagome finally spoke.

“It’s--It’s locked away,” Miroku hesitated.

“I want to see it.”

“Kagome--not now--” Sango tried.

“A finger?” Koga asked.

“A finger with the ring that the human gave to my brother’s mate was delivered to our gates earlier today,” Sesshomaru informed.

“Wow… that bastard seems to have something planned,” Koga replied.

“I want to see it!” Kagome yelled.

“Kagome, we can look at it later. After you have eaten and rested. Have you forgotten everything that’s happened today?” Inuyasha asked. He looked directly into her eyes to make sure she was hearing him. Her soft and sad expression back was enough recognition. He nuzzled her cheek and her sigh was a relief to his ears.

Their dinner was finally set down in front of them and they ate with light conversation.

As they got up to leave, it was finally dusk. His brother decided they would continue this discussion in the morning; likely sensing Kagome’s drop in energy and Inuyasha’s heightened… needs.

He finally caught her alone as they exited the dining room. Shippo had been told by Koga he was to follow him back to his quarters where he would also be residing in for the night. After a small fight, Kagome soothed the young demon that she would see him in the morning but she needed some time alone with her new mate. Honestly, he was about to boop the brat because he was literally craving his mate. Dinner had been… interesting. He had been trying to control himself. The whole situation was super fucked up. This fucking baboon was sending weird ass messages threatening his mate and he couldn’t stop thinking about dragging her back into his room and fucking the shit out of her.

It was like he was replaying him mating her over and over--her body shuddering beneath his, her pants and moans that made his ears twitch, her gentle strokes along his body.

What made it worse was he had to control himself around his brother. He could smell that shit. Along with the wolf. But Kagome’s scent was just so… intense.

The fact she had bathed off his scent mark had his inner demon in a tizzy. Along with how cozy and familiar the wolf was with his mate. Thankfully his inner self recognized the kit that sat on her lap throughout dinner was more of her child than competition. Which kind of made the kit his. Something they would need to discuss.

Our mate is sad and we need to comfort her.

Whatever. We don’t need to rut her to make her feel better.

Don’t lie to yourself saying you don’t want to.

I do--but that’s besides the point. As half-human, I know she will need to talk.

Don’t be a fool, hanyou. We both can smell her need. Her desire.

“Kagome,” he breathed softly in her ear making her halt in her steps when they entered his--no; it was no longer just his room-- it was theirs.

“Inuyasha,” she replied breathily.

“Are you alright? I know that was a lot…” Fuck he could barely control himself. All he wanted to do was take her in his arms but he didn’t trust himself right then. He knew he’d take her. Whether she wanted it or not.

But she stepped into his space and wrapped her arms around his waist. Shit. He was strong. He wasn’t a pup. Wrapping his arms around her, he buried his nose into her hair.

She sighed and rubbed her face against his chest, “I don't know. I… I feel guilty. Angry. Sad… I just…”

“I know. I get it; we don’t have to talk if you don’t want to. We can do whatever you want.”

“Inuyasha,” she said softly.

“Yea?”

“Are you sure?”

“Sure about what?”

“What I want?” She asked leadingly.

“Are you… implying something there, wench?” He smirked feeling her hand shift from his back to his cock.

“Is it--wrong that I can’t stop thinking about this?” He could see she was blushing even though her face was buried within his haori.

“Fuck--if it is, I’m just as bad.”

“If I had wanted to just cuddle,” she started pulling her head from his shirt to look at him. Damn he could get lost in those beautiful blue. “Would you have been okay with that?”

“Of course--I would never force you to mate with me again, Kagome.”

“Even though you want to?”

“Why are you asking me this Kagome?”

“I just--I want to make sure you know you can ask me and tell me what you want too. This isn’t just about me and what I want and what I need,” she said as she shifted her hands to wrap around his neck.

“I know Kagome. But today--after all of that--your needs get to come first.”

“Hmmmm,” she hummed as she shifted onto her tip toes. Who was he to deny her? He leaned down and closed the distance as his hands grabbed her silk covered shoulder.

Her lips were wet and full. He couldn’t get enough of them. Now. Ever. Fuck. He loved her. Even if they stayed right there, just like that. He would be fine. Any way shape or form she was touching him made him feel complete.

Her hands were busily tugging on his haori and he almost chuckled at her impatience. Her scent of spice snuck up on him. Maybe she had been hiding it after realizing they could smell it coming off of her. Was she embarrassed by it? That was a dumb question--she was human. A human priestess. But fuck--if it wasn’t hot to learn she had hidden that basic need and desire alllllllll through dinner. Damn; he was already rock hard.

His haori and kosode were falling to their floor and her hands were back around his neck as she whimpered into his mouth and wrapped her silky legs around him in one subtle leap. His hands caught her thighs and held her easily to him as she hotly ravished his mouth.

He found it so odd that she was so drawn to his demonic features. Her tongue always found his sharp fangs when her tongue shoved its way through his lips. Her fingers traced the tips of his ears and she always pushed his demonic strength to hold her or move her.

She gasped when she found herself pressed against the wall by him. He smirked and started to kiss down her jaw to his destination--her mark. Gods he needed to sink his fangs back into it. Taste her sweet blood that was now infused with his own youki. Confirm she was truly his.

Her moan only egged him on as he breathed on the purple jagged mark that laid upon her shoulder. Fuck. Would it be terrible to skip foreplay? The way she was nudging herself closer to his mouth only told him she likely felt the hard pull too. His hands found the tie on her fancy yukata that Rin loaned her and within a second, she was bare. He shifted her to remove her dress from her arms so he could stroke those silky smooth ligaments lovingly, his face never leaving her mark as his bit around it--teasing it and her.

“Ugh, Inuyashaaaaaa,” she whined, grinding her wet core against his dick. Damn. Maybe she was just as desperate as he was.

“Yes, Ka-Go-Me?”

“Don’t--Don’t tease me, please,” she pleaded as her hand found its way down to his obi and began to pull it open.

“Impatient??” He nipped at her chin.

“You have no idea,” she exhaled when his hakama finally fell and she felt him against her sex.

“I don’t wanna rush this--you deserve more,” he growled as he ground his cock into her wet folds. Her hitching breath and whimper only made him want to pound into her harder.

“We have all night,” her sultry voice sounded in his ears. The subtle breath she exhaled made his ears go crazy and in turn, his dick.

“Damn,” he ground out through his clenched teeth as he finally stopped fighting what they were both craving and seeking.

He shifted her higher in his hold and angled her body so that he could enter her. She was fighting against his hold, likely because he had to put some distance between their top halves in order to get his tip right at her wet entrance.

Fuck. How was she that wet??

He slammed into her and felt her cringe. Dammit. He needed to get a fucking grip but he felt his youki rising and before he knew it, she was stroking his cheeks drawing his attention from not coming right after her tight walls contracted around him.

“You ok?” He barely managed to say.

“Yes, are you?? Your marks--”

“It happens sometimes when I have really intense feelings more instinct related--fuck why do you feel so good?” He admitted dipping his head to kiss and lave her neck.

“I could ask you the same question. You can move,” she sighed out as she rotated those sinful hips in his hands making her stroke around his deeply buried cock. Fucking hell.

He didn’t even bother to reply as he gripped her ass tightly and started thrusting hard and fast into her. He wasn’t the best mate but fuck, if she wasn’t responsive. It made him feel better for not totally prepping her even though she was hot and bothered. But he vowed he’d make up for his hastiness.

In more ways than one.

The other hand that wasn’t on her ass, holding her up so he could take her, started kneading her taut nipples, switching between each as her moans and cries escalated.

“Inu--Gods--Inuyashaaaaaaa!!!”

“Close, Koi?” He heard his own deep voice in his ears. Luckily she didn’t seem disturbed or if she was, she was too distracted to care.

“Y-Yes!”

His head took over for his hand, sucking and nipping at her nipples. His tongue snaked out to soothe some of the harder bites he gave because his elongated fangs were harder to keep at bay. Not that she seemed to mind. If anything her fucking wails made it perfectly clear she liked that rougher treatment.

His hand dipped down to her wet folds and began stroking her excited nub roughly. If he wasn’t a demon, he wouldn’t have lasted as long as he did--not with her convulsing in his hold, screaming for the entire fucking castle to hear, her wet hot sex squeezing his.

Fuck. If she wasn’t the most enticing creature he had ever met. And she was all his. His fangs ended up in her mark as he came and she cried out again, her walls still vibrating around him, pulling his seed deep into her womb.

Coming down from their high, his youki receded and he ungracefully knelt, still inside of her and swung himself to lean against the wall he just fucked her against.

They were both still panting and trying to catch their breaths after such an intense release; the whole day had been building up to it. While it was fast and quick, he swore it was more powerful than the first.

“You good?” He finally asked.

“Mhm,” she replied tiredly.

“Glad it was just as good for you,” he chuckled into her hair. She hummed her approval and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“Will it always be like that? I--I know Rin mentioned that after the bonding we would want to--” she cut herself off, flushing scarlet like his robe of the fire rat. He couldn’t help but laugh at her blushing after they just engaged in that passionate round against the wall.

Fuck she had clawed off his clothes so quickly too. With that thought he laughed harder.

“H-hey!” She tried but he couldn’t stop. He felt her squirm to dislodge them which had the opposite effect it should have; it had him harder than hell again. Clearly she felt him and gasped as she stopped moving.

“Sorry, but don’t do that unless you don’t want to finish talkin’,” he admitted hotly breathing into her ear which made her stiffer than his cock.

“I don’t like it when you laugh at me,” she said averting her eyes.

“I just think it’s kinda… funny that you get so flustered about talking ‘bout mating when you were the one ripping off my clothes. But yes, Sesshomaru mentioned that depending how strong our bond is will determine how much my youkai will demand the reinstatement of the bond.”

“Has your uhm, other self said anything?”

“Definitely didn’t like how friendly the wolf was with ya,” he informed her.

“Was…”

“Was what?”

“What about… Shippo?”

“The runt? He’s too young for me to feel threatened by… I did want to talk about him though too.”

“O-Oh?” She sounded scared. Why?

“I don’t mind the kit.” He made sure he didn’t use an insulting word towards the young demon. His intention was to make sure his mate knew he recognized their relationship and he wouldn’t be the one to step between it. It wasn’t often a fox youkai saw a human mortal--a priestess at that--as a mother figure. “I know he sees you as a mother. I’m not stopping or stepping between that. He… well…” Well fuck. They hadn’t really talked about where they were gonna live. Kids. None of that. Honestly they never even talked about having sex until it was kinda just… happening?

“Hey,” she soothed as she reached for his cheek to bring his face to hers. “I know we haven’t really talked about all the details and we kinda just… jumped into this. But I was serious when I told you how I felt. I’ve never felt like this with anyone before. I never thought I could--or that I would want to. I know this isn’t reversible--and I in no way shape or form wish that it was. I want to be stuck with you. I never want to know what it’s like to be without you.”

“Kagome…” He couldn’t stop himself as he dipped down to capture her lips in a chaste but also very intimate kiss. He needed her to know exactly what those words actually meant to him. Fuck. He loved her. More than the Gods loved their own children. He didn’t think it would ever be possible to care about someone or something so much that the fear of losing them could actually kill him and swallow him whole.

He wrapped his arms around her back and dipped her to lay on her back. She happily moaned her compliance as her hands shifted up to his ears. She was so weird. Going for something so inhuman.

Whatever. She admitted she loved him as a half-demon back in their ran-sack hut. Let her fucking love him.

He didn’t want to separate from her, but he did want to taste her. The idea she was still full of his seed and he could taste their mixed juices highly appealed to him. Would it be ok with her?

Kissing down her body he withdrew from her, her protest made loud and clear, to be fair, he was also very disappointed by the missing contact but once he mouth claimed her dripping lips, he didn’t give a fuck about how hard and uncomfortable his cock was--she tasted like fucking paradise.

Knowing she not only tasted of seeping hot arousal, but of him, that it was him who had filled her, it was him who pleasured and that it was him she only allowed to do this with--damn he was so fucking close to bursting and he wasn’t even in her.

Initially he hesitated until her hands were pressing the top of his head into her. He sped up his tongue movements and felt her tighten around his fingers that were dancing at her opening. Thankfully his youki was sated from their previous round and his claws were more controllable. He started to insert his fingers--one, then two, then finally three until she called out his name in a begging fashion. His mate was summoning him to help her to completion. Shit. She was so beautiful. He sucked down on her clit and used his tongue to swirl around it and pulled the most desperate cry from her as her walls crushed his fingers within her.

Hot damn. He could barely keep teasing her with his mouth. Pulling away slightly but allowing his fangs to slightly scrap her for a moment, he panted. It took all he had to not squirt all over the floor of his room.

He needed to get a grip. Think un-mate like things. Not how she smelled. Not how she sounded. Not about her thick creamy silky thighs wrapped around his--NOT THAT--Koga. Sesshomaru. Naraku. Ok, that helped. Almost too much.

Slinking back up her body, adding kisses along the way, he was met with her lust filled eyes and he couldn’t help but smirk. He’d already brought her to release just what felt like moments before he devoured her and here she was, blissed out. He could get used to her like that.

“Inuyasha?” She asked as she reached for his face. He rose from nibbling her breast and nuzzled into the contact. “Can we… try something?”

“What is it?” He asked, confused.

“I--”She swallowed and he could tell she was trying so hard not to blush. Cute. “I--uh--I want you to take me the--uhm--the dog w-way,” she finally finished. Her lip ended up sucked in by her teeth and he chuckled thinking he was just about to claim it for himself.

“Are you sure? I know that it’ll please my inner self--but we can wait until you’re ready. More… seasoned,” he grinned wagging his eyebrows to hopefully lessen her embasement.

She scoffed and rolled her eyes. “I want to try. I--this isn’t just about what I get out of it. I want to please you too.”

“Kagome…” Why was she so perfect? Kind? Caring? Giving?? “We don’t have to do anything you're uncomfortable with or if you think I’ll get something out of it.”

“Trust me--” she breathed as she sat up to kneel in front of him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close, her breasts rubbing against his bare chest. “I want this. I just--I wasn’t sure if you did.”

“Of course I do. I just--didn’t think as a human you would,” he finally admitted sheepishly. Her hands made their way through his silky tresses and to his ears, stroking them and bringing out his soothing rumble of happiness and safety.

“I’m not ashamed of being with you. A half inu-youkai. I love you for who you are; ears and all,” she soothed kisses him before pulling away and turning away from him.

Then there she was; ass presented to him, her body held up by her hands and knees. He couldn’t even stop his youki even if he wanted to. His hands gripped her hips harshly. Her sigh and moan at the pressure only made him want to forget he needed to go slow but after the last time and hitch of breath even though that had been their second penetration, he knew he had to be gentle. Gentler anyway when they started. Once he entered her--she demanded he not be careful. She craved his demonic speed and strength. Something he was highly glad for.

He slowly dipped his cock between her folds to make sure it was slick enough to enter her without any additional resistance. Finally, he slowly drove into her, waiting for her if her breathing changed from her eager frustrated pants or if her voice wasn’t that of need but of pain. When he didn’t hear anything but a moan, he began to drive into her relentlessly. So much for slow.

But Kagome seemed to start to meet his thrusts as if conveying she needed more from him. He was only happy to make sure she was fucking sated as he was from this position that had him dying for more. One of his hands dropped down to her folds again knowing that enlarged excited nub was the key to getting her to release and the other kept a steady pace on her hips. With his youkai at the surface, he did what he knew best; he went directly for the mark and bit down.

Her cry thankfully was from her orgasm and not from pain. He originally was scared he was doing too much, and being too wild but her scent of arousal only kept spiking upward filling their entire room of something so… Kagome. Anyone that entered would immediately know she was his. His alone.

Throughout the night, they continued reinstating their mate bond between a couple hours of sleep. He never pushed her, never instigated anything because he knew humans needed their rest; but she proved resilient. She was just as hungry for him when she came back around and only encouraged him further to take her over and over again.

By morning… she was exhausted and fully satisfied, just as he was. Deeply asleep in his arms, she was wrapped around him. Like she was afraid he was going to disappear. That was far from true; if anyone disappeared, it would be her. Because she was a fucking dream.

She was wrapped up in his haori to keep the cooler air from her but also if she were to have woken again with her vivacious appetite, something to which he wouldn’t have to worry about marring as it was self healing when he dug back into her body. His nose was pressed into her sweet smelling hair when he heard a small knock at the door and smelled Rin as the door opened so she could have a peek in. He wiggled his ears, letting her know he was awake but his mate was not.

“Can the young Shippo enter?” She whispered just for him. He wiggled his ears again acknowledging and hopefully letting her know that it was alright with him.

The kit came and stood by their heads. He stared at him with his wide green emerald eyes.

“Did you want to snuggle with her or not?” He whispered harshly.

“You’ll… let me?” The young fox replied in awe.

“I’m not taking her away from you… I know she left and didn’t really explain why. She wasn’t looking to replace you or get rid of you though. She was just trying to keep you safe.”

“From the shapeshifter. Koga and Ayame told me… not a lot. But some. They didn’t let me try and find Kagome. But at least explained why…” He explained as he brushed the hair on Kagome’s head softly.

“Well come on.”

“But your… even Koga wouldn’t let me sneak away to sleep with her in the night.”

“Kagome said her villagers didn’t understand demons and their relations. Didn’t she save you?” Shippo nodded in response. “Koga was only trying to protect you then. I’m sure Kagome wanted you to be safe too, which is why she never asked you to come to the village with her and she placed you in Koga’s protection.”

“I guess that makes sense… Does she see me the way I see her?”

“Yea… I’m sure she does. We’ll talk more about living arrangements later. We started talking last night before--” When did demon children learn about mating? The runt obviously knew what it meant for them to be together.

“I know about mating. Koga and Ayame are mates. I was there when they bonded--or rather before when Koga was still pursuing Kagome.”

“And they…” No. He didn’t need to ask. Kagome told him he was her first and only… not to mention how she never thought of anyone like that.

“Kagome only wanted to be friends with him. He wanted more but didn’t push her into anything. Then he met Ayame and he stopped his pursuits. He did confide in Ayame how he really did love Kagome, even if it wasn’t as intense as what he felt for Ayame. She was okay with it--Kagome didn’t threaten their relationship and even if she did, Koga was loyal to his mate.”

“Good to know… well, climb in. We had a long night. She’s probably gonna wanna rest.”

“That’s what Rin said. She said she’d be back by lunch to wake us,” Shippo informed as he slipped in between them and curled under her chin. She smiled in her sleep and hummed happily.

Inuyasha closed his eyes, knowing likely she actually would sleep until lunch. Trying to ease his mind of any other thoughts they could discuss after her restful sleep.

Kagome awoke feeling warm, satisfied, and loved. Opening her heavy eyes, she saw a very poofy tail in her face. She was a little confused at first, but then it dawned on her that Shippo snuck in with her and Inuyasha. Beginning to panic, she was startled when she heard Inuyasha’s purr.

“It’s fine. I let him join us.”

“You’re--you’re really okay with this,” she said in awe.

“I’m not here to replace anyone in your life, Kagome. I’m your mate. I’m here to just add to your happiness. If this tyke makes you happy, why wouldn’t I be okay with him?”

“Koga… he didn’t like Shippo cuddling up to me if I ended up staying at the wolf dens overnight.”

“Because Koga wasn’t mated to you. An unmated woman with another unmated male would make him hesitant and angry. He would have likely seen Shippo as competition.”

“But you don’t? Why did he?”

“Koga hadn’t met his mate yet and so he let his more base instincts get in the way. To be fair, I don’t really like Koga around you even though he is mated. But I respect your friendship with him because he is mated and you are mated to me. If you weren’t mine, I’d probably have more issues about the whole thing.”

“Talk about trust and stuff…”

“Yea; I do, you know.”

“What?”

“Trust you.”

“Are you sure? I--I’ve almost gotten you killed and I lied… I refused to open up to you…” She could feel her sadness and regret sneaking up on her when she felt his hand intertwine in her hair.

“Kagome… We’re bonded. I allowed you to see me at my most vulnerable. I’ve never…As a half-demon, hell even Koga if he felt strongly enough he could have gone against his instincts and mated with you. As a half-demon, I could have sought out other females. But I didn’t. I couldn’t trust anyone. Not like that. Not enough to share myself with someone.

“I know we got off to a rocky start, but from the moment you came clean, I planned on never letting you go.” He finished his confession brushing his hands down to her mark. For the first time, it didn’t make her feel heated and needy. If anything it just soothed her and made her feel cherished.

“I trust you too Inuyasha. With everything I am…”

“Kagome… I know we’re already bonded in the demon way. But would you want to in the human way?”

“Wh-what are you asking me?” She didn’t want to get her hopes up, but she really thought he was going to ask her---

“I’m asking if you’ll marry me, Kagome. I want to honor you.”

“Of course I’ll--what kind of--” Tears pooled at her eyes and she could tell she had disturbed Shippo when he began to stir. Inuyasha picked him up by his tail and moved him to be on top of her hip and he closed the distance between their lips. This was a just a completely chaste kiss. Full of promises and love.

A soft knock at the door startled her but Inuyasha seemed like he was expecting it. She turned and saw Rin poke her head in. Smiling as usual. “Will you be joining us for lunch?”

“Yea. She just needs to get dressed.”

“I’ll make sure there’s a place for you both. We are going to… pull out the sealed dark object. Lord Miroku thinks that it should have been purified by now. Not until after we have eaten though, of course. I’ll see you shortly,” she added as she bowed.

Her mood slightly dropped but Inuyasha, her mate, her rock, her savior, pulled her up to a sitting position and held her close. “It’s gonna be ok. I’m here. I’m not gonna let anything happen to you.”

“I’m afraid Hojo may have been... because of me… And--”

“Hey--don’t jump to conclusions. We’ll talk to my brother. I’m sure even Koga will send out some wolves to help look for him too alright?”

“Would it be too much to ask if my family was brought here?”

“That’s the question Kagome; what do you want to do when this is all over?”

She hadn’t really thought about that. She just knew she wanted to be with him. Was that the right answer?

“I just… I want to be with you.”

“But where do you want to live? Here? Back at the shelter we once found? Do you wanna rebuild your village? Go to a new one?” He asked as he pulled away from her to let Shippo climb back on her lap.

“I actually hadn’t given too much thought about what I would do when we were done,” she admitted when she began to brush through the kit's bangs. He was so good. He knew when he needed to be quiet and allow the adults to talk.

“I don’t really care one way or another. But before we move them--I think we need to figure it out. Having them out in open too much and too often may be dangerous.”

“You’re right,” she agreed sadly. He caught her chin as her head began to drop and she got lost in those fiery determined ambers.

“Don’t. You’ll see them again soon.”

“Inuyasha…” Did she mention she loved him? Her gruff but oh so kind and sweet hanyou?

He stood and dressed after kissing her sweetly again. She followed suit and was about to grab her yukata that Rin had lent her when Inuyasha nudged her. He pointed to his chest and pulled out another one from it. She frowned in confusion, but he explained Rin had it stocked for her when she awoke. Just another thing she needed to thank her new sister-in-law for.

They walked to the dining hall together hand in hand and Shippo perched on her shoulder. Koga was coming down from the other end of the hall when they met at the shoji.

Koga studied them and she nervously clenched Inuyasha’s hand. She wasn’t sure who she was trying to comfort; herself or him.

“It’s fine Kagome. I’m not going to challenge his claim on you. I see your devotion,” Koga stated and the tension fell away at his words.

“Koga… I’m sorry.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry for. The fact the mutt respects Shippo means he’s a bigger man than I was. Besides, I have Ayame. I love her. She is really my mate. But that will never mean I don’t care about you.”

“I know, Koga. You’ll always be important to me,” she tried to explain.

He smiled softly at her and nodded as he entered the dining area where Sango, Miroku, Sesshomaru, and Rin were already seated. Rin smiled at them as they took their seats, same as the night before.

They exchanged some words over lunch but it was mainly eaten in silence. Likely in preparation for what they were going to have to do after their meal. Even though she hadn’t eaten very much in the past week due to her sleeping… she still found herself not very hungry. She picked at her food. Oddly enough, she found her chapped lip more appealing to munch on. Inuyasha stirred her from her thoughts when he waved some rice in her face with her chopsticks. She smiled at him uneasily but took the food from him. He repeated the process until she had finally finished her rice.

“I’m full, Inuyasha,” she told him.

“Fine. You ate enough. For now,” he added.

“If you are finished,” Sesshomaru said dryly.

She blushed and leaned into Inuyasha’s side. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and she sighed in thankfulness. She honestly wasn’t sure she was ready for all of this.

Sesshomaru nodded to Miroku who stood and retrieved a box from the other side of the room. He brought it back to the table and Kagome immediately felt the jyaki. It was already trying to attack her from the wards. Inuyasha sensed her nervousness and started to growl as he pushed her behind him.

The box was calling to her--but why? Naraku wasn’t a...priest or a monk. He was a demon. Demons could only curse objects after death. This felt--

“This is the work of a dark priestess,” she said aloud in shock.

“A dark miko?” Rin repeated.

Kagome nodded her affirmation and then looked to Miroku. “How did you get it locked away in the box?”

“Not easily, I’m afraid. Once the ring was separated it became slightly less difficult and I could then wrap a ward around the appendage, after which we placed it in the box.”

Kagome began to panic. “Who else touched it?”

“Why is that important?” Sango asked quickly and worriedly.

“I was the only person to touch it but my wards were in place.”

“What’s wrong, Kagome?” Inuyasha finally turned away from the box to her. She looked at him concerned; whatever was meant to ensnare her, likely also caught the monk in its trap as well.

“No one else touch it,” was all she could muster in reply as she stood. She looked down at Miroku who looked grim. He knew exactly what he had done but didn’t inform anyone else. He nodded, and closed his eyes and rose to stand. They held a silent conversation knowing what they had to do, what needed to be done.

“Miroku??” Sango asked frantically.

“Forgive me, Sango,” he replied.

Kagome looked at him and then Inuyasha. Swallowing, she gave him a small smile and said as steadily as she could, “It’s going to be okay…” Turning back to Miroku they spoke through their eyes knowing the road ahead was going to be long, hard, and exhausting. But they were the ones with spiritual powers. They were the only ones who could do it. Even though she was scared, she was confident in their combined powers; he was a powerful monk, and she was one of the strongest priestesses from stories she had heard of her predecessors. She also knew Inuyasha would be by her side--figuratively anyway. Their bond was strong enough to keep her from swaying in fear.

“What--Kagome--” Before he could finish she swiped her hand over the box releasing the wards. The ring that had been in Miroku’s possession was ripped from his robes and pushed itself on her finger. She winced as she fell backward but didn’t feel the fall as her body landed.

Instead when she opened her eyes, she was consumed with darkness. Thankfully, she wasn’t alone. Miroku stood beside her and looked unnerved.

“Have you ever been cursed before?” She asked him to try to break the tension of their daunting task.

“No… But I did have to learn how to break one. Though learning and doing are two very different things. Especially when you are not sure what you will encounter in one’s mind.”

She hummed her acknowledgement as she looked around. Darkness. Nothing else. Wonderful.

“Have you, Lady Kagome?”

“Honestly no… I’ve been able to deflect them before being cursed but these are very different circumstances.”

“Indeed,” he agreed lightly. “Do you know what to look for?”

“Doubt. But I’m not sure what it’ll look like.”

“Is there anything you are doubting now?”

“Not really. If we had this conversation yesterday, I would have known exactly what it would look like. But today--”

“Today you are a happily mated woman. I understand. Your aura was very pure and easy today--aside from your nerves regarding this, I assumed.”

“Your assumption was correct--I think the only thing I honestly worried about now is--”

“Kagome?” And there it was...the Doubt that plagued her mind. Hojo. But his eyes were gleaming red. Of course it'd be Naraku in the form of Hojo. The only two things that stood in the way of her happy ending.

“Is that…” Miroku started but didn’t finish as the appearance of the human male strode forward.

“Yes. My fiance ,” she bit out. She stepped back as he approached, unsure what would happen if the Doubt actually touched her. Miroku sensed her anxiety and also stepped back slightly putting himself in front of her.

“Kagome, how could you? You were mine… We were promised to wed and then you--you slept with that thing .”

“Hojo--you know I didn’t feel the same. We were only going through it to appease our parents…”

“That’s not true! I love you! I still love you! I won’t let him take you away from me!” Hojo yelled as he reached out for her. Kagome shoved Miroku away as Hojo’s arms turned into tentacles and wrapped around her form. Damn! It touched her. She’d probably feel that later. Well actually she was feeling it right then--it was burning her skin, she literally felt sick; the amount of dark energy flowing through her body was weakening her and it made her cry out in agony.

She barely heard Miroku as he smacked the tentacles with his own power or felt when she dropped into his arms. Tears glazed over her eyes as she looked to him and noticed his hands were a raw singed purple.

“I’m sorry,” she croaked.

“This is not your fault, Lady Kagome. I knew what would happen and felt I needed to help you.”

“But what if this--”

“We stand together in this fight.”

He helped her stand uneasily, and they gazed to the being before them.

“Do I talk to it? Do I fight it? What do I do?” She finally asked Miroku.

“You tried talking… I think we have to fight it.”

“Great…” She sighed as she called upon her power. It was weak--drained from the previous encounter.

“It drained you--or rather us when we made contact. We must tread carefully. I would hate to see what happens if our power is completely consumed.”

“I think you know what will happen,” she hinted darkly and looked soberly into his indigo eyes. He nodded solemnly. Death. Possession. But they wouldn’t voice that. They needed to keep those negative thoughts at bay while they fought the Doubt in physical form already inside her head.

“Kagome I love you--we belong together. Come with me, we can destroy the half-breed together,” Hojo said but she also heard the dark undertone of Naraku’s voice mixed in.

“Sorry Hojo,” she said softly as she tapped into her power and sent out a purification blast to the body that stood before her. It dodged and began its pursuit on Miroku, but he wasn’t going down without a fight. Miroku sent out his own blasts, but cringed as it ate away further at his hands.

Kagome mentally winced for him. She took advantage of the creature’s distraction and closed the distance and grabbed onto his shoulders even though it burned. She started to use her purification powers; it hurt. There was no other way to describe it other than she thought she was going to pass out from the searing pain that shot out from the body she grasped onto.

Miroku latched onto the other side and held on as he too, expelled his power into the dark being before them. It felt like hours but Miroku fell first. She called out his name but he disappeared. Damnit! She hoped he had awoken from the curse. If he died because of her, she--no! She couldn’t think that! He was ok! He was alive! As long as she finished what they started, everything would be fine.

“You’re all alone now, Ka-Go-Me... Does this seem familiar?” She heard Naraku’s voice now fully immersed in Hojo’s body. She could no longer see anything in the darkness and she was wet, cold, and alone. She reached out and came up with nothing and fell forward.

“No!!” She panicked as she sat up and grabbed her covered knees. Her eyes pinched tightly closed, trying not to let the illusion frighten her. She was with Inuyasha--or rather her body was. This was just her mind playing tricks on her. “This isn’t real--you’re not real!!!”

“Oh but I am very real and I’m coming for you,” Naraku promised.

“If you’re real, then you know Inuyasha is here and he won’t let you harm me,” she spat back feeling braver than she had before as she opened her eyes to glare at him even though all she could see was darkness. She shot out a couple of bursts of power and came up with nothing. Rising again, she ran only to be smacked down and held to the ground by another tentacle, making her cry out in agony.

“That half-demon, the son of the former Inu-no-Taisho and a Hime from Musashi? Brother to Lord Sesshomaru who is the current Inu-no-Taisho? ”

“You are real…” She had no idea who Inuyasha’s mother was. He got a little edgy speaking of her. All she knew was her name was Izayoi and she was the most beautiful woman Inuyasha had known before Kagome.

“Would I lie to you, my jewel?” He said coming into view still possessing Hojo’s body.

“What do you want?!”

“You. The jewel. All of it.”

“There is no jewel--it’s gone!!”

“Oh but my dear, there can always be a new one,” he expressed as he started to cackle.

“What does that even mean?! And where is Hojo? What have you done with him??”

“You’ll find it in due time , my jewel. But it’s hard to say for certain where your betrothed is... He could be there,” he teased as he waved his hand and showed Hojo tied up in the darkness. “Or there,” he referenced to a dead Hojo on the other side. “Or even right here,” he added as he knelt down in front of her smirking wickedly.

“I’ll find him--you can’t stop me!” She hissed; if she was strong enough she would have blasted him again but her arms felt like they weighed a thousand pounds. Not to mention she was trying to ignore how her skin literally felt like it was being ripped from her body.

“Oh, I don’t want to, Kagome. I want you to fight me. I want to see how angry you can get--how hatred can consume that pure heart you possess. This whole charade was merely only to send you a message; I’m coming for you. You. Are. Mine.” He whispered darkly as he leaned closer to her ear, making her already burning skin crawl. He licked her ear and she whimpered, turning her head away and she thrust her arms out and used her remaining power to push him out of her mind.

He laughed as he stepped back and stared at his purple flaming body, “Hate me that much, my love? Just remember when I take you how that power will dull… It’ll turn black and corrupt. Isn’t the world just more beautiful when it is painted in malice?”

“Stop talking!!” She cried. Why wouldn’t he just leave!? Die already!! “Why do you want the jewel anyway?!”

“That should be obvious my pretty little miko,” he sneered. “Power. Over all. Even you. You will learn to love me again.”

“Never! I’m Inuyasha’s mate!!!”

“Just remember my flower, you were mine first.”

“Nothing happened between us!!! You didn’t--that wasn’t--”

“Oh, I’m not referring to our shared time in the cave… that was nothing compared to what is coming for you. I’m referring to your previous life. Tell me, do you like it behind like before? Do you still like your nipples pulled and twisted? Your hands pinned over your head until you submit? Is that how the disgusting dog made you his? You always did love submission to those more powerful than you.”

“SHUT UP!!!”

He only continued to laugh until his ashes were the only thing that remained, the sound seeming to leave behind an echo that closed in on her in this terrible nothingness. She felt herself falling and she screamed until she felt the jolt that she was back in her physical body with arms wrapped around her as Inuyasha called out her name. She initially squirmed but cried out feeling the burns from her spiritual form spreading along her body.

“Kagome!!”

“Put her down!” Miroku’s voice sounded through her ears. She heard muffled yelling as she was so consumed with the pain but the arms never loosened on her.

She felt a slap of a sutra and immediately she felt relief. She opened her eyes weakly, panting before reaching her hand to Inuyasha’s cheek, “He’s...coming…” And then the darkness was back, only this time, she knew she was safe. Inuyasha had her. Her strength. Her armor. Her love. He was her shelter and he alone would protect her.

Til We Meet Again

Here is the link to AO3

This fic was written for one of my best friend’s who lost their grandpa to COVID-19 last week. I wrote this piece for her and it’s geared towards what I knew she would enjoy and hopefully find solace in.

Please, remember to wear your mask and social distance. You never know if you’re a carrier until it’s too late for someone else.

It’s a little raw and there is a character death.

Tag Wall:

In the back of Kagome’s mind, she always knew this day would come. Her grandfather was well into his eighties. He had some struggles, but what elder didn't?

He still told all his old tales and stories. He still would chase Inuyasha with sutras, sometimes even bold enough to toss salt at him.

But he was slowing down. He asked Inuyasha for help more and more. Mama didn't leave him alone as much according to Sota. Apparently when he got home from school she would run errands if he was having a rougher day with his arthritis. Her biggest fear was him falling.

She wasn’t sure if she should have been thankful or not that he passed away in his sleep on a night she was there…

He had gone peacefully and she didn’t have to hear second hand from Mama. That also meant she knew when the funeral was along with the visitation.

She had had a test, something Inuyasha had grown used to in their travels and hadn’t resisted when she asked to return home. He’d gotten into the habit of joining her. Something she didn’t mind either.

Their relationship had slowly become more physical over the last three years. As well as emotionally stable. She was no longer threatened by Kikyo, and he… didn’t try to kill Koga. He still refused to be nice, but at least the declarations of ripping his innards out had stopped.

A lot of their issues stopped when they finally confessed their feelings for one another. Go figure. Half of their arguments were caused by insecurities and misunderstandings.

Kagome often laughed about how immature they were the first year they had begun traveling together. But it was also fitting since she had just turned fifteen and he had… well… turned one-hundred and fifty. But to be fair, he had grown up his life in fear of others. Everyone just hated him for existing. Trust was something that had not come easy to him. But Kagome proved time and time again he could at least trust her and their friends.

It had been on a night that Sango and Miroku had gone back to her village to mend her weapon and patch up her armor after a run in with some demon cats. Shippo had remained with Kaede as the winter was harsher than normal and had decided to try to keep her warmer.

After she and Inuyasha had finished dinner and were sitting by the fire, the soul collectors flew by summoning him. Kagome fidgeted, upset and worried he was going to leave her. Yes, it always hurt her deeply when he could go to her summons, but that time she would have been left totally alone… But he didn’t move. He didn’t even look uncomfortable.

The only thing he did was stand and unroll her sleeping bag.

“Inuyasha? What’s wrong?”

“Huh? Nothing.” He dropped to his knee and knelt in front of her shivering form--not just from the cold but from fear.

“Aren’t you… uhm…”

“Spit it out Kagome, I ain’t a mind-reader,” he added as he draped his haori around her and picked her up and slid her in the opening sleeping bag. She realized he was just tucking her in for the night… so he could sneak off then. But yet again, he shocked her by picking her up and holding her close.

“Inuyasha?” She tried again.

“You’re freezing Kagome. I’m sorry if you’re uncomfortable but I gotta get you warm.” A faint blush erupted on her face as she leaned her head on his shoulder. She swore she felt him nuzzle her before placing a chaste kiss on her temple.

Kikyo eventually emerged from the trees and took in quite the sight; or least from Kagome’s point of view. With a raised eyebrow she prodded Inuyasha, “What has you so occupied, Inuyasha? Did you not see my soul collectors?”

He tightened his arms around Kagome, as if he felt the tension and anxiety in her rise and replied steadily, “I would never leave Kagome alone. Especially when it is this cold for humans.”

“I see. Then I suppose we could discuss our plans in front of the girl.”

“Her name is Kagome, Kikyo,” he reprimanded.

Kikyo stared at him slightly offended; he had corrected her in front of Kagome--something Kagome or Kikyo never thought he would do so easily or steadily.

After Kikyo shared what she knew of Naraku’s current plans she shot a look at Kagome who flinched out of habit. Inuyasha rumbled from deep within his chest and it oddly calmed her down… but had the adverse effect on Kikyo.

“Inuyasha, contain yourself while you are in my presence.”

Before he could respond or silence the purr he admitted for her, Kagome boldly chimed in finally. “Our relationship has nothing to do with you.”

“Your ‘relationship’?” Kikyo repeated. “Tell me, what is your relationship?”

“Kikyo, I’ve hid nothing from you. You know where my feelings lie,” Inuyasha replied.

“Is that so…” Kikyo said evenly. It was eerie to see Kikyo so calm, let alone so… leading? What did Inuyasha tell her? What did Kikyo want?

“Kikyo--”

“Inuyasha. I do hope you will clear up any additional miscommunication between your reincarnation and I,” she stated with finality as she disappeared back into the forest.

“Inu--”

“I’m sorry… I didn’t mean for her to be that intrusive.”

“Why? I mean--I just don’t understand--”

“What is there to not understand? I’ve told you for well over a year now there is nothing between Kikyo and I. When we meet it is strictly to talk about Naraku.”

“You could have left me alone to do that…”

“Keh you’d be alone Kagome. You really think I would do that to ya?”

“I guess not. I’m sorry for thinking differently. It's not like you haven't done it before,” she said with bitterness.

“Kagome--”

“Sorry. I didn’t mean--” he cut her apology off with an actual kiss. To her lips. Which she more than greedily accepted.

That night had marked the spark in their relationship. He was bad with words. But his kisses and caresses more than made up for the lack of them. It had been so cold that was all they ended up doing that evening. He did end up inside her sleeping bag with her, cradling her to him with the haori wrapped around them.

“Inuyasha?”

“What?”

“I love you,” she said hesitantly.

“I know… I love you too, Kagome. I’m sorry that I don’t show it well.”

“You show it better than you think. I’m just--I was just--insecure I guess.”

He chuckled huskily in her ears, “That’s my excuse. Find your own.”

After a little more talking, she fell asleep in his warm embrace. The six months after that he spent courting her properly. Between providing her food, cleaning up the camp, taking her to and from the well when requested, even bringing her flowers, she was over the moon. On her seventeenth birthday, their second anniversary of meeting at the Sacred Tree had been when they finally consummate their union.

Her mother, while knowing this would happen, asked for her to start birth control even though Inuyasha had been so blatant in regards to him being able to smell Kagome in heat. While they were technically married in his time, as Kagome was far past legal age there, she was still technically a minor in their time and they couldn’t risk any… ‘mistakes’ in his sniffing. Kagome reluctantly agreed. Her mother boldly said when she was eighteen, she'd more than happily welcome a dog eared grandchild.

She got the IUD, as it wouldn’t have to be changed for three years and wouldn’t need regular maintenance. Her mother also surprised her by telling her they would be ‘out’ that evening leaving her and Inuyasha all alone…

“We don’t have to rush into this Kagome--”

“Who’s rushing?? We’ve been together for a long time by your world’s standards.”

“I just--here--you’re still young--”

“Inuyasha,” she said, placing a hand on his chest in a calming manner. “I don’t belong in this era anymore. Once our mission is done, I… The well will probably close. I don’t--I don’t want to be without you.”

“I know that Kagome. But I--I didn’t--I don’t want you to have to choose," he said as his ears lowered.

“Unfortunately, I probably will have to. But I choose you; Mama and I already talked about it. That’s why she was okay scheduling me the doctor’s appointment. I still will graduate from high school, and we won’t try to have kids until after. But, I’ve already made my choice.”

“Are you sure? You have a home here--a family. I have nothing to offer you.”

“All I need is you, Inuyasha. We could live in a cave for all I care.”

“Kagome--”

She moved her hand from his chest up to behind his neck and pulled him into a heated kiss. Apparently, that was a good enough answer for him. She was thankful she made him just as powerless and thoughtless as he made her when their bodies met.

It wasn’t the first time they had seen each other naked. No, they had gotten caught up in their desires, their flaming touches, the curious wandering of their hands. They had learned what they liked, what felt the best, but they wanted to wait. He wanted her to be sure. She wanted him to be comfortable.

Their clothes were lying on the floor but they were still standing kissing and stroking each other. He backed her up to her bed until her knees hit the frame and she fell onto it; her breasts bounced upon impact.

She never got used to seeing his hungry eyes rove over her body. He stared at her like she was his prey and he was the hunter. It made her wet and needy and wanton and--

He was on her in a moment interrupting her lustful thoughts. Her hands immediately went to stroke his muscular back and grip onto his shoulders as she rocked her aching core against his hardened length.

“Fuck,” he groaned pulling his mouth away from hers.

“Please Inu--Gods I want you so bad--”

“Not just yet, ‘Gome. Gotta make sure you’re ‘ready’,” he smirked at her before trailing kisses down her already steaming hot body. She thought she would die if he didn’t enter her. Writhing, she whimpered as she felt his tongue brush through her folds.

“Ah!” She gasped as she laced her fingers through his silver mane and arched her body up to his mouth. His fangs she had grown to love nipping at her did just that--the tingle shot from her clit directly to her coil in her belly. She groaned and gripped his hard trying to get her point across. The jerk had the audacity to laugh. LAUGH. Hahahahaaha… he thought he was so--

His fingers were inserted into her dripping wet opening and she found herself trying to thrust onto them to relieve some of the overbearing pressure. Her throat was also raw from the embarrassing moan she released. Luckily she was likely not going to have to use her throat for much else that night. Or at least not before he fucked her.

He did that to her--got her so wound up she got desperate. Forceful. Demanding. Cursing. It was so unlike her. But even though it made her flush, it never deterred him from making her do it again and again.

“Inu--” she pleaded as she ground her hips against his hand. His other hand had taken purchase of her breasts. It rotated between each, pinching and tugging her taut nipples. His rumble was answer enough as she felt him suck hard on her clit, finally breaking the dam that held her orgasm at bay. She cried out her release as she felt herself wet his still inserted fingers more.

He sat up but moved his hand that was flipping between her mounds to her overly stimulated nub making her grind her teeth and begin panting heavily again. She almost came again at the sight of him withdrawing his fingers and licking them clean.

“Are you ready now Ka-Go-Me?” He asked cockily. When they first started their explorations, he was timid--but after her first overwhelming cry of his name as her walls fluttered around his finger he steadily grew more and more confident. Overly so. Not that he had no right not to be. He was a fast learner and could make her turn into a puddle of bliss within seconds if they were rushed in their foreplay.

“Y-yes,” she stuttered. He picked her up so she was kneeling on the bed. She noticed he grew nervous which was unusual. Then it dawned on her what he was asking silently. She smiled and placed her hands flat onto the bed and wiggled her ass seductively in his face.

“Fuck--how do I even deserve you,” he muttered as he stroked her bottom lightly before grabbing her hips lightly, being careful of his claws.

“So many reasons,” she said breathily.

He licked up her spine and then proceeded to suckle, bite, and lave her shoulders. She felt the tip of his hard cock at her wet core. She pushed back and little to tease him and shuddered at the insane amount of pressure that made her want to burst.

He licked the shell of her ear that earned him another impatient huff laced with desire, “I love you, Kagome.” Then he slammed into her and she swore she saw stars. The galaxy.

She had heard the first time usually hurt; so that’s what she expected. She wasn’t even disappointed when it didn’t. Her hymen had broken long ago from all the falling and being tossed off cliffs in battle. She halfway suspected he had been fingering her so much to loosen her up so that he wouldn’t tear her. Smart.

“Inu--” she whined as he began to pound into her. Her breasts bounced with every pump of his dick in and out of her dripping wet pussy. The sensations of his cock inside her, brushing so intimately with her walls was too much. She felt herself begin to convulse around him, pulling him deeper if possible, unrelenting in allowing him to pull out fully in his fucking.

“Kagome,” he growled seductively in her ear.

“Gods,” she whimpered knowing she was right on the cusp of another orgasm. Her arms began shaking; they were worn out already from trying to hold up her pleasure stricken body.

She was sweating, panting, gasping, writhing, shuddering, beneath his arching body as his hard length was swallowed by her aching core.

Her arms finally gave out and her ass somehow raised higher. She felt him pound into her harder and faster--that was when she mildly blacked out from the most intense release he had given her.

When she came to, he had her cradled on his lap; her back to his chest and he was rumbling that sexy cooling growl he did to help her sleep.

“You good?” He asked steadily even though she felt his hot warm uneven breathe on her neck.

“Fuck yes,” she exhaled wrapping her arms around his neck. She felt his lips kiss and nip at her neck as she raised her hand to stroke his ears lovingly.

“Scared me for a second there,” he admonished as he began to rock back into her from below.

“Sorry,” she sighed, unable to dictate much else with him moving inside her again. His mouth latched onto her shoulder and his hands moved to her breasts and nub again. She was going to die. Or turn into a pile of goo. Who was to really say at that point? All she knew was she was likely not going to be able to walk the next day. Her thighs were spread so wide to engulf him fully she was basically doing the splits on his thighs. Not that she was complaining. She wanted every inch of him.

Her hands went back to grasping the back of his head, keeping her upright as she hung on for the ride. When she came again, she felt him stiffen and snarl. She knew she was about to pull his own release from him. She felt him twitch as he slowly pumped in and out of her as he emptied himself of his seed into her while he howled through his gritted teeth.

His fangs broke through the skin on her shoulder and she cried out. But it didn’t hurt as much as it filled her. As weird as that sounded. The swirl of his youki with her reiki, fighting for dominance, dancing a sinful play, finally died down.

That night they exchanged gentle kisses and warm embraced wrapped up in her bed. Safe. Secure. Loved.

A year had passed since then. Kagome was eighteen. Officially an adult in her era. Only she felt like she had been an adult for far longer. Her relationship to Inuyasha proved that; they had a hut of their own they stayed at when they were restocking in the village. She was training to take over Kaede's position after graduating and the jewel had been completed.

Her grandfather’s death should have been easier on her. She knew the circle of life--especially in the shinto religion. Heck, her going to feudal era only solidified it.

But she felt she wasn’t handling his death well at all.

Her own father passed away when she was barely out of preschool. Sota hadn’t even had the chance to meet their dad. But their grandfather-- he invited them into his home. Kagome’s mother’s family never respected the marriage between them and her mother lost touch with them. Ultimately picking Kagome’s father over them.

Mama often told Kagome that was why she really respected the relationship between her and Inuyasha. She saw a lot of her late husband in him. Inuyasha was a good man and would provide for her… She had been raised by her mother and grandpa. They knew she was ready to leave the nest. They did their jobs as guardian's.

Grandfather was all Sota and Kagome had for a father after their own passed. Now he was gone too…

Inuyasha came up beside her at the wake. She had moseyed away from everyone and was sitting at the top of the stairs lost in her thoughts. He was wearing more traditional clothes that were more appropriate for mourning.

“Hey,” he said softly. He likely could sense her inner turmoil through their bond; something they learned shortly after mating.

“Hi…” she replied quietly. He sat down beside her and hesitantly draped an arm around her shoulders. She sank into his embrace and sighed out of content. They hadn’t been intimate the past week. They hadn’t exchanged too many words. They merely just cuddled and shared their warmth with each other. Their bond did all the talking for them.

“I suck at this kind of shit.”

“You’re doing pretty well actually,” she smiled slightly. She felt he was nervous.

“That’s good I guess. I just feel like shit there ain’t more I can do.”

“Inuyasha… you lost your mother so long ago and no one was there to comfort you. Your father died on the day you were born. I honestly don’t know why you’re beating yourself up for not doing more. You’re doing fine. It’s hard to lose someone that raised you…”

“I know he was like your old man. At least that’s what he told me.”

“He talked to you about our relationship?”

“Yea--he wanted to be sure I was good for you. Can’t say I blame him for all the shit I put you through the first year we traveled together. I was kinda a dick.”

“Inuyasha--we didn’t know any better back then--”

“Yea, whatever. It doesn’t excuse half the crap I said or did that upset you. Anyway, it was supposed to be a surprise but…” He trailed off as he dug in his black haori for something. He finally found it and pulled out a velvet box.

Kagome was confused, unsure what her grandfather could have given Inuyasha. She took it from him hesitantly. When she opened it, she couldn’t help the tears that pooled at the corner of her eyes.

Inside the box was her grandmother’s ruby red ring encase on a gold band.

“Inu--”

“He had wanted to marry us once you graduated. Send us off to live in the feudal era the proper way. But he knew his time was comin’. He said he saw his wife almost every night in his dreams--it was getting harder and harder to wake up. But he really wanted to make sure I got that and gave it to you. I know I’m probably fucking up by giving it to you here but… I’m kinda at a loss on what to do for ya.”

She leaned over and kissed him chastly on the lips. “Thank you Inuyasha… It does help to know he wanted to be with Gigi.”

“Was that his wife?”

“That’s what we called her. We knew how much he loved her but he knew he had a duty to the shrine and to his son, my father. That duty was revealed when he passed I guess.”

“He did his duty well. He raised you to be… you. And for that, I’m grateful to the old man.”

Kagome pushed her face into his haori and finally let the tears that evaded her for the past week pour out. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her knowing her grandfather was proud of the woman she had become, that he respected and honored the relationship between her and Inuyasha, and also was reunited with her grandmother.

He confided in Inuyasha. He wasn't sad or scared. All he wanted was for her to be happy. To know he was happy for her.

After the wake, Kagome presented to her mother the ring Inuyasha gave her explaining what her grandfather had told him. Her mother smiled and nodded. After long lingering embraces, they all turned in for bed. Inuyasha held Kagome close as she fell asleep peacefully and dreamt of her grandfather with her grandmother again. They waved to her goodbye and parted with blissful smiles, “Until we meet again.”

There was an infinite number of reasons Inuyasha hated Kagome going back home. Firstly, it shouldn’t be her home. She was home when she was in their era--or rather his era… either way, the future shouldn’t be where she called home. Her home was with him--or by him. Whatever.

Secondly, he wasn’t allowed to just go anywhere he pleased--specifically, to follow her around while she was at school or with her friends in town. What if she got into trouble and he wasn’t around to save her? She was always tripping or finding a way to get kidnapped or hurt--she was a walking accident!

Thirdly, it fucking smelled terrible. The pollution and other modern smells overpowered his fucking senses. He often left with a migraine. Stupid future shit. No wonder demons weren’t around--they wouldn’t fucking survive.

Fourthly, he… well… he just missed her. When she wasn’t around. Near. God, she was turning him into the biggest wuss on the planet.

They’d been traveling together for just over a year now; their friends and they had been to almost every corner of Japan. Naraku was still at large, but he had been quiet for quite some time. Probably just as frustrated as they were with the lack of jewel shards to be found.

Shockingly, Inuyasha and Kagome had gotten into another fight. Not like the fights they used to have--noooo those had simmered down since their first year of travel. These were just based on… differences of opinions. Such as she, wanting to go home because she had a test and him, saying tests were pointless and she didn’t need to go.

Unfortunately… she won. Per usual. Only because she could fucking sit him and call it a day. So, he reluctantly followed her because--it wasn’t like he had anything better to do than watch the slayer and monk ogle each other or watch the slayer beat the tar outta him when he made to flirt with another woman.

Pass. Hard pass.

Even though he wasn’t supposed to, he trailed after her when she went to school. She was in something called ‘high school’ now and had to change uniforms. He didn’t really like the blue uniform. It reminded him she was getting older. Things were changing…

In good and bad ways. Good ways were, she was becoming a fucking woman. Her scent was beyond intoxicating each passing month. Yea, she had her cycle when she was fifteen but… now his demon sensed the maturity of her body taking form more and more. It took everything and more not to pour out his undying love for the woman and rut her in the middle of a fucking forest. Like an animal. But who was he kidding? She didn’t like him like that… Yea, they cared for each other. Yea they had kissed… but she was just--trying to save him. Yea, they’d hugged but she hugged Sango and Shippo… at rare times Miroku. He may be engaged but he wasn’t married yet.

Another good change was they didn’t fight as much. Or as hard.

Bad ways… she was growing up. She wasn’t going to want to travel around forever. According to her, she wasn’t marrying age yet in this time, even though in his, she was ripe for the taking. But he knew she had suitors. Plural. All that could offer her way more than he could. He had what? An asshat brother who wished he was dead? A dark half-demon that hunted him and his kinda ex-fiance person? An ex who was dead, haunting the lands until her revenge was exacted? Possibly longer? The clothes on his back and sword at his hip...Yep. He had the whole package.

Meanwhile, Koga had a full wolf tribe, ruled the mountains… And… what was the fuckin’ kid's name? Hobo? Hoko? Hojo--that was it. Both the Hojo idiots from both times. They had perfect happy little lives. No drama. No demons. They could offer her anything and everything.

Gods… he was doomed. He loved her so much. Kikyo? Pft. Yea, he cared about Kikyo--like a friend you owed because you accidentally kinda-got-them-killed-kind-of thing. Guilt--that’s what Kagome called it. He felt guilty and felt he needed to make it alright.

Anyway, with the lack of action, she wanted to come back to her time, catch up, and shit. Blah blah blah… He knew she could sense him. Her powers had increased, another good change. But she didn’t sit him or come out and yell at him. In fact, she actually did manage to come up for lunch.

“Hey, I figured you’d be hungry,” she happily greeted him.

“You’re...not angry?”

“You’re staying out of sight, why would I be mad?”

“Are you embarrassed of me?”

“Of course not! Why would you ask that??” She asked as she sat down opening her lunch. She took a rice ball and placed her container between them.

“Well it’s not like you let anybody see me or anything,” he glared at the food. He actually wasn’t even mad at her or the food. In all honesty, he was angered by his heritage. He was surprised when he felt her cool hand reach up and grab his face to look into her beautiful caramel eyes.

“I don’t want anyone to take you from me… You know there aren’t demons in this time. I don't want to put you in danger because they would want you. They would capture you and... What would I do without you?”

His heart pounded so hard he wondered if she could hear it with her human ears. Her eyes darkened and her lips parted from that soft smile. Her breath hitched and she bit down on her silken lip and all he could think about was devouring it.

Then he heard the door open and he pulled away from her, throwing his hat back on. She blushed madly and turned to see her friends coming out onto the roof with their lunches. Fucking perfect.

“Oh, h-hey guys,” she stuttered.

“Heyyyyy, are we interrupting anything?” The one named Eri smirked.

“NO!” He yelled, likely way too loudly and fast. But she seemed so flustered by what almost happened and he didn’t want them to think she was the idiot who got carried away.

“H-how are you guys,?” She asked with her fake smile. Damn. He hurt her. Again. She got caught up in the moment, and he took advantage of it.

“Hojo’s coming up,” Yuka said with a gleam in her eye.

“Uhhhh…” Kagome started.

“I can go,” Inuyasha muttered.

“No!” She looked at him like a deer in headlights and gripped his hand. “I-I mean--nooooo, don’t go! I thought we were going to share my lunch?”

He was blushing and staring at their joined hands when the Hobo came out. The boy stalled for a moment drawing Inuyasha’s attention and when their eyes met, he could tell Hoho was sizing him up. Out of habit to protect Kagome from other’s opinions, he tried to draw his hand away from her, but her grip tightened. What was she doing?

“Hey Hojo,” she greeted.

“Hey Kagome, how are you today?”

“Great! Inuyasha was in the area and decided to join us for lunch.” Was she lying?? Why?? Why wouldn’t she just tell them he followed her? This boy couldn't hurt him.

“Inuyasha? Oh--you’re the guy from the festival last year,” Hojo said as he sat down on the other side of her.

“Yea, one and the same,” he confirmed gruffly. Staring at the boy in front of him, he was surprised when Kagome held out a riceball for him. He took it from her with the hand she wasn’t holding and muttered his thanks.

“Oh, are you sharing your lunch?” Ayumi cooed.

“Kagome, you probably need more nourishment than that--here, why don’t we share--”

“That’s okay Hojo. I appreciate the thought, but I’m honestly not that hungry. He’s doing me a favor helping me out,” she laughed fakely.

Did no one else see the mask Kagome put on aside from him? He knew that she loved Sango, that she confided in her about everything. Did these girls know anything about his Kagome?

The rest of the time it was just idle chit chat. Nothing for him to really follow as it was mainly about classes they were taking. He noticed Kagome’s hand didn’t leave his though even when she would reach and take food out of her little box, her grip never lessened. To be honest, he loved the feeling of his hand in hers. Even more so because she was doing it in front of her friends.

When lunchtime ended, her friends got up and led the way to the door. She lingered behind them and told them she’d catch up shortly. Hojo sent her a passing glance, obviously hesitant about leaving her alone with him, but complied when she bid him a good afternoon.

“I uhm… I’ll see you when school's out, okay?” Why was she acting all shy now? She was the only one who gripped his hand in hers.

“Uh...sure. That’s fine. I’ll just wait here then?”

“Mhm,” she smiled softly and with a final bite of her lip, she turned and went back inside.

The school literally couldn’t end soon enough. He needed to know what the fuck was actually going on with her.

The hours seemed like they took forever--of course, that’s how it always was when she wasn’t right by his side. Again, the biggest pussy on the planet when it came to her.

Maybe he accidentally dozed off from boredom. Watching the clouds wasn’t the same without the bossy spirited girl who actually appreciated the little things while he laid on his back beside her, merely just enjoying her presence, but he didn’t realize she was outside until he heard the dumbass Hobo call out her name. He rolled onto his side to peer off the roof to see what was going on.

She looked startled and began to look around--likely lookin’ for him. She’d be fuckin’ pissed if he just leaped down from there then. After all, she did just admit it wasn’t about embarrassment, it was about the danger of him being taken from her. Humans were odd creatures--always lookin’ to learn more and more about something. He knew what she said was true.

But that only meant that even if he were to follow her back to this time to be with her, if she really wanted to be with her family, they’d have no future here either. Not like she’d likely want a future with him. He needed to--he needed to keep his head on straight. Why let his hopes get raised for nothing?

“Kagome! How about I walk you home! You’re probably famished and could collapse from that vertigo your grandfather called about last week.”

“Hahahaha...of course he did,” she smiled while he smelled her annoyance and anger. Kagome had mentioned her grandpa making up some rather colorful excuses to get to miss school since she was always with him. While he told her she didn’t have to go, she pointed out that she did. At least for her family’s honor. That was the only reason he let her still travel back and forth… well actually it was the only reason she actually wanted to.

He noticed she looked around again and finally saw him on the roof and frowned slightly. Biting her lip and then turning to look back at Hojo she said loudly enough to where he heard her mention, “Inuyasha said he was going to meet me at the corner but you can join us.”

“Oh...I see. Kagome, can I ask you something?” They started to walk away and while he had demonic hearing, with all the other chatter and distance they were putting between them was making it difficult what the man-child was asking of his--no--not his--Kagome. Just--Kagome.

“Sure, what’s up Hojo?”

Inuyasha sneakily leaped onto the track of the school and then up and over the fence onto the house across from them. He proceeded to jump down so he wouldn’t be seen but could listen in on their conversation.

“What is up with that friend of yours? I would have figured with your health problems he would have encouraged you to eat--not the other way around.” Inuyasha wanted to growl at the thought that he would ever put his own health before hers.

“Oh, honestly I wasn’t that hungry. We often share lunches. I’m obviously not starving.”

“Does he--he visits you when you’re in the hospital? At the shrine when you’re not well??”

“Oh--uh--yeah! See? He’s very concerned.”

“Does he not have a job? Did he drop out of school?”

“No, no, nothing like that. He’s actually very intelligent. He does uh… exterminations?” He overheard her nervous laugh. That was the truth technically. Demons were what summoned them from village to village in hopes they would come across a jewel shard. But the money was shared. They were a pack. It wasn’t his alone--even if it was, no one would feed, clothe, or house a half-demon.

“Oh he must be very fortunate then… do you think the chemicals are the source of what are making you ill though?”

“Of course not! Being with Inuyasha is--” He heard her cut off and at that point, he was standing at the fork in the road when she had mentioned he would meet them. “It’s uh…”

“Do you really like him, Kagome?”

“Yes… I just--I don’t know if he feels the same,” he heard her whisper, likely hoping he wouldn’t hear. But he did. And his head was spinning. She ‘liked’ him? Well duh, they’d been traveling together for over a year together. He hoped she would at least kinda enjoy his company. But did she mean--is that why--

“Oh! Inuyasha!”

Fuck he was made! He brought his head up and saw them walking towards him.

“Hey,” he replied back gruffly. It wasn’t his intention for it to have been so mean… but he was officially frustrated and confused.

“Everything ok?” Kagome asked sweetly as she blushed while she stood before him. Damnit.

“Yea. Fine. Let’s go,” he replied as he turned away. She groaned slightly--the one she used when she got bad news. He turned back to look at her and she looked highly disappointed… She acted like she didn’t want him to hear her little confession. Obviously she was embarrassed by liking him so why should she be upset if he acted like he didn’t hear her?

“Say, Kagome. What are you doing this Saturday?”

Would she be pissed off if he broke this kid's nose? Didn’t he just hear she liked him??

“Uhm…” She started. Oh, fuck no.

“She’s gonna be with me, twerp,” he stated firmly as he swung around and wrapped his arm around Kagome’s shoulders. She seemed to tense under the initial contact but then relaxed. Her breathing was a little erratic like she was nervous but excited… What a weirdo.

“Oh I see, did you decide this for her?” Hojo questioned.

“Pretty sure it’s a mutual agreement at this point, kid.”

“Kagome?”

“Yes, I’m sorry Hojo. Inuyasha and I have plans.”

“Kagome--why--”

“Why what?” Inuyasha snapped.

“Why be with someone who doesn’t tell you how they feel? Make you feel appreciated? Kagome--I’m in love with you. Please--let me prove that to you. Let me show you how a man should treat a lady.”

It took all he had to not punch the little dick in the throat. How dare he say those things to Kagome!

“Look here you little--”

“Hojo--I like spending time with Inuyasha,” Kagome countered.

“But Kagome--”

“Just because Inuyasha doesn’t like me in the same way doesn’t mean we can’t be friends, Hojo. If I want to stay with him then it’s really not--”

“You actually like me?” Inuyasha finally asked.

Kagome turned and looked at him from under his arm. She looked confused and she stepped out to be in front of him. She looked embarrassed and uncomfortable but she never hesitated in her response, “Inuyasha--of course I like you. I love you. I thought… it was obvious.”

“Kagome, I--” He realized they still had an audience and glared with a growl in the little fuck’s direction. “Do you mind?!”

“Kagome?”

DID THE FUCKING BRAT NOT HAVE GODDAMN EARS?!?!

“It’s okay Hojo. We need to talk. I’ll see you tomorrow at school.”

“Okay. Take care, Kagome,” he waved as he headed off in the other direction.

Now they were standing there. In the middle of the road. Irony.

“Kagome I--”

“It’s really alright if you don’t feel the same. I just want to be by your side. As--as long as you’ll have me.”

“Why though?”

“Why--why what?”

“Why do you like me? I’m kind of an asshole. I always say the wrong thing, I always hurt you… I can’t offer you anything.”

Her soft cool hand on his cheek made him look her in the eyes. He could forever get lost in the chestnut eyes. Honestly, he almost did; he didn’t even notice she had started speaking.

“It’s not about what you have to offer me. Things--possessions-- they aren’t important to me. You are. Yeah, you’re rough around the edges but you only do that to protect yourself. I don’t try to take what you say personally, I know you don’t mean it. I just--I want you to know you don’t have to be afraid of me hurting you; I’d never harm you. I love you for who you are. My gruff half-demon protector.”

“Kagome…words--aren’t really my thing. But you kinda knew that, so--” He cut himself off and pulled her close to press his mouth against hers, praying to any fuckin’ God she didn’t sit him for acting without thinking. Though to be honest, he’d be lying if he said he had never thought about it. In fact, sometimes that was all he thought about. Along with some heated moaning and intimate places linked… Oh shit, his dick was already getting excited at the thought.

Her hum of approval and fingers lacing through his hair, softly shifting his ball cap off his head brought him from his imagination.

“Not here,” he barely grunted before scooping her up into his arms bridal style, leaping from the road to the roof of house after house until they arrived at her shrine. She urged him to take her up to her window where she crawled through before he entered after.

Once his feet were on the ground, he found himself engulfed in her embrace and her lips frantically moving against his. She flipped his hat off and whoaaaa--her hands were untying his haori. He stilled them and she whined but they needed to talk about this. Not just rush into whatever--well--that was wrong. He knew Kagome would never play with his heart. She had just declared she’d never hurt him; that her love wasn’t based on what he had or could give, it was based on who they were. But that was exactly why they needed to talk.

“Hey--we don’t need to rush this--”

“Inuyasha I don’t want to wait until you’ve changed your mind about everything--” She proceeded to keep kissing him, his mind becoming this weird useless blob because damn if she didn’t taste fantastic. All his fantasies were coming true in just the movement of her lips.

“Fuck--Kagome--”

She hummed her approval over his vulgar words; weird as she usually was the one always conveying ‘manners’ but obviously she liked that she could make him helpless.

“Damn, you shoulda confessed your feelings earlier, wench,” he smirked when he pulled away to trail kisses and drew teasing circles of his tongue against her throat. Her moan lit his cock on fire. Shit.

“Bite me, dog boy,” her husky voice sounded as he hovered over her shoulder. Pause. Did she just tell him to mark her? What did she know about demons and mating?? Or was she just teasing. This whole situation had gotten away from him. He began to pull back and her breath hitched. She was panicking.

“I’m not gonna go changin’ my mind but this is kinda--you don’t just--shit--sit down,” he ordered as he pulled her down to sit on the edge with him. Wrapping his arms around her to reassure her of his unvoiced feelings, he felt her snuggle into his hold. “Kagome… what you said kinda made me realize we--well--we need to try and talk.”

“What do you mean?” She seemed confused by his words. It dawned on him she had no idea she had asked him to mate with her. Not that he could blame her--demons didn’t just go around boasting… Scratch that. Normal demons that aren’t fleabags don’t blurt out mating rituals.

“What do you know of mating with demons?”

“Uh--I--” She turned as red as his haori and buried her face into said top and muttered her response, making his ears twitch to try and catch the muffled words she spoke. Oh, so she had just said ‘bite me’ as a retort… and totally missed the full meaning.

“Did the wolf-shit tell you all that? Because I may have to go skin him--”

“No! No! Sango had uh… mentioned it,” she admitted, biting her lip.

“Keh, ‘course that busybody did.”

“D-don’t be mad! I had asked her in all honesty…”

“Why didn’t you just ask me?” The look she gave him made him realize exactly why not. Disbelief. He was a callous asshole. Probably would have taken the wrong way… Whoops. “Nevermind. I got it. Are you sure this is something you truly want? What happens if once we complete the jewel the well closes? What if the old woman can’t get the village to accept us and we end up living in the forest? What if--”

“We can’t play a what-if game forever Inuyasha. We won’t know until we cross that bridge, but I told you the truth when I said none of that stuff matters… I don't belong here. This is just where I come to keep my family’s honor. My home is with you,” she said as she stroked her hands through his silky silver tresses. “Besides, I bet even if the village turned us away, Miroku and Sango would find a place for us to settle down--maybe her old slayer village.”

“Oh fuck, we’re stuck with them, aren’t we?”

“Inuyasha,” she warned him. He smirked down at her showing he was only teasing. They were friends. His family. Something he never thought he would ever have.

“We can wait to complete the mating ritual--it doesn’t have to be right now,” he said idly as he traced where he would mark her on her shoulder over her blazer.

“Are--Are you the one who is unsure?” She asked hesitantly as she shuddered from the light graze of his claws.

“No. This is the only thing I have ever been completely sure about my entire life.”

“But what about--I mean--”

“You can say her name.”

She averted her eyes and he pulled her chin back so she had to look him in the eyes. “I was going to become human for her. Mating is a thing for demons. Humans wither and die while demons live for centuries. I wanted someone to accept me--even if that meant I had to change. You’ve never asked that of me--fuck, you’ve begged me to stay the way I am. Kagome… I-- damnit, why is this so fucking hard!”

“You’re doing okay,” she whispered as her hands slid from his chest to his cheeks. “I love you, Inuyasha. I would be honored to be your mate.”

“I love you, Kagome,” he finally said as he slammed his hungry lips down onto hers. Her hands stayed on his cheeks as he moved from her chin to her hips to bring her closer even though she was perched on top of his lap.

She surprised him when she turned herself around to straddle his legs and pushed his chest down making him fall backward. How a tiny girl like her could ever startle him enough to knock him over was beyond comprehension. Her hands started to undo his haori and he made to undo the buttons on her blazer. It was sloppy, them removing each other’s clothing between their heated kisses, trembling excited fingers, and the awkward but hot as fuck grinding of their sex.

Her core was so fucking wet; he honestly couldn’t wait to taste her. He wondered if she tasted just as he imagined. Her fucking mouth tasted like cherries and honey--his fucking cock felt like it was going to fall off; he was so aroused. Between the bucking of her hips, the wetness of her panties, and the simple but teasing sweeps of her hand as she explored his body, he wasn’t going to last long.

Losing his patience, he sliced through her bra and underwear and flipped her over so that her legs draped off the bed as he towered over her. Smirking down at her, he took control again as he began to devour her. All of her. Her lips, her neck, her clavicle, her breasts--he lingered there the longest, making sure the perky mounds were red, bruised, and thoroughly marked as his as he proceeded to lave and caress her toned stomach just before he found himself kneeling on the floor between her perfect shapely muscular thighs.

He didn’t even hesitate as he went straight to the weeping opening that was begging for his hardened length. It was a siren calling out to ship and he had to steer straight ahead and plunge into the abyss. And plunge he did--with tongue. A loud cry of his name was his answer in return. He brought one hand down to steady her hips as he continued to memorize her scent, her taste, and the sounds he could make her produce with abandon.

Noticing there was a significant nub that she seemed to like to have teased the most, he moved his thumb to press and circle it as he used his tongue to continue to drink up her juices. It was clear with all her shaking and quivering that she was close to her orgasm. Her hands were frantically pressing his head into her folds, and her voice was fucking wrecked. She sounded like she had just run five kilometers nonstop and she was begging for water. And he ultimately would be the one to help her out with her thirst. With one last flick of his tongue, he switched his hand with his mouth and inserted one, then two, then three fingers slowly stretching her as he pumped in and out of her. His mouth found purchase on her nub and he sucked hard as his other hand softly stroked his own dick as he was fairly positive if he didn’t, it would burn off in the flames of arousal this woman was feeding him.

Thankfully her walls began to vibrate as she came undone around him and cried out his name in ecstasy. When she stopped twitching, he finally slunk back up her body and smirked down at the completely dazed look on her face. He couldn’t help but feel his confidence growing that if he could at least take care of her like that, happily sated every night, a home with Sango and Miroku, then he could give her the life she deserved. Not fully, but one she seemed to want.

Her hands reaching for his cock brought him from his wandering musings and damn--he’d never be able to go back to his own hand. Why was she so good at that?!? Fuck, shit, damnit, fuckkkk-- he grabbed her hand to still her motions and she gasped.

“Is--am I not--”

“N-nah, y-you are. Fuck, I almost just came all over you.”

“What if… I’d like that?”

His eyes widened and his ears perked up. What did she say? Anything he had to say went out the window when she shoved him against her headboard and engulfed his hardened length with her hot wet mouth. Some weird strangled sound came out his mouth as his hands went to her head without thinking. Fuck. Shit. He loosened his grip once he had some semblance of control and mainly kept his hands there to keep hair out of her way. Her tongue was swirling around him and he felt her spit literally drip down to where her hand was stroking him where her mouth couldn’t reach more than making up for the lapse of coverage. The other sneaky hand was fondling his sac and he literally swore right then it wouldn’t be the jewel, nor Naraku, Koga, his brother, or even Kikyo who would kill him--it was going to be Kagome. Because holy fuck he was about to fucking die. The ache in his stomach from not being touched was far gone and replaced with a burning passion; the tightening coil had grown taunt and he could barely tap her to gain her attention before it sprang loose.

Panting, breathless, and grunting he managed a ‘“Comin’’, or some word like that. Either way, she hummed and that was what threw him off the edge. He could hardly not grab her head to keep her there, but he hadn’t needed to; she drank him up like he was producing actual milk and not seed for pups.

She pulled away from him and licked her lips, whether it was meant to be seductive or innocent didn’t really phase him as he grabbed her head and pulled her into a hard bruising kiss. Not only was he tasting her in his mouth from when he had given her pleasure but now he was tasting himself on her cherry red lips. Goddamn. He was the luckiest hanyou ever born. And he was already aggravatingly hard again.

“Mmmmm, Inuyasha,” she begged.

“What Kagome?”

“Bite me,” she pleaded. He lifted her to straddle him once more as he knelt on her bed and brought her face to meet his. Gazing deeply into her brown sparkling earthy eyes for any form of doubt, he exhaled and groaned as he lowered her onto his cock. Her arms wrapped around his neck and her breath hitched uneasily. Fuck. She was tight. Hot. Wet. He wasn’t even completely sheathed by her wet hot core and he felt her walls already stirring back to life as she moaned in his ears.

Once she was finally held on his lap by her hips, he was completely engulfed by her, it was an odd sense of fulfillment. Like everything in his life had led to that exact moment. Everything just suddenly fell into place. Every horrible unspeakable attack on his life, every mistake he ever made, any step he took, it all led to her--his Kagome.

“You okay?” He managed to grind out around his gritted teeth. He was barely holding on for dear life; all he wanted to do was pound into her, but she deserved more--she deserved better.

“Perfect,” she sighed, groaning as she twisted her hips and good fucking Gods--she was fucking perfect.

She started to rise up on her calves to pull away from him and then slammed herself back down on him making them both whimper, groan, moan, growl as the fucking pure bliss of pleasure as she continued her actions with his help. He could never use his hand again. Ever. She had effectively ruined that for him. He would no longer be able to fantasize about her--it would always have to be her. Riding his cock. Like the fucking expert she was proving herself to be.

“Inu--Ya--Shaaaaaa,” she cried out as she tried to still her movement as she released all over his deeply embedded cock. Holy shit. If her coming apart in his arms was not the most erotic sight he had ever seen. It was the way her head was thrown back; her eyes were squeezed shut;her hair, damp from her sweat-glistened body, swaying behind her; her tight grip on his shoulder; her chest heaving, making her breasts bounce, and how her pussy effectively hid his dick.

“Ka--Kagome--” he stuttered, leaning his head down to her shoulder, pulling her back to him so their bodies were as close as possible as he continued thrusting into her. His tongue acted of its own accord as it brushed her shoulder all the way to the back of her ear as he huskily groaned making her return her own whimper. Her hands snuck their way from his shoulders to his ears--and if it didn’t feel fucking amazing. He moved his mouth back over her shoulder and kissed it lovingly before nuzzling it. “Ready?”

“Yes,” she cried.

His release snuck up on him from the beautiful sound of her pleasured filled voice. As he came, emptying himself into her womb, he bit down into her shoulder, marking her as his, filling her with his youki. He felt her reiki flow around him in return, caressing him, sheltering him with her love. And damn, if he didn’t feel like he was home.

The rest of the evening, they spent kissing and exchanging loving touches. Talking about their future, talking about their dreams. Inuyasha could swear he had never felt so relieved and happy in his entire miserable life. But then again, he didn’t have Kagome until the year before. He had never known what love and happiness ever was before her. And his life would never be miserable again, not with this amazing woman by his side.
