A/N: I was so stupid, I forgot the disclaimer at first.
Chapter 1
"Inuyasha? Are you ok?" Kagome noticed that he seemed in pain for a while and was worried. She moved closer to him to feel his forehead but he backed away from her hand, from her. "I. Am. Fine. Wrench." With those words said Inuyasha leapt of into the forest, his forest, leaving Kagome standing in front of Kaede's hut. Kagome drew her hand back to her and looked after Inuyasha, now long gone.
What was wrong with him? Was it something she had done? Was it something with Kikyo?
She hoped it wasn't Kikyo. Inuyasha always went after Kikyo and left her broken and in pain. Was it so obvious that she couldn't compare to Kikyo . . . Ever? Kagome bit her nail and thought harder. Inuyasha always protected her from harm, was it because she alone could sense the shards? Did he feel it was his duty?
She looked up at the blue sky. Clouds swirled together to form odd shapes and wisps.
If Inuyasha felt it was his duty to protect her, then why was he so possessive when Kouga came around? Kagome had always thought it was a sign that he liked her, possibly loved her, but she could never be too sure. Inuyasha was so reserved and never let his true feelings show through.
"That idiot!" Kagome huffed and sat with her back against the hut. She contemplated whether or not to go after him, she had to make sure he was alright. Kagome whipped some dirt off the back of her skirt and walked into the forest.
Inuyasha was sitting in his favorite tree, thinking of all things. He had been feeling pains for a while and he was tired and felt really weak. His blood was hot though and his demon blood was overtaking his human blood. It caused him great pain and he had been snappy with Kagome these past weeks. She was going to 'sit' him so many times it wasn't even funny.
Sweat covered his body and another spasm of pain hit him full force that he almost fell out of the tree, almost. Inuyasha was panting for breath and could feel his demon blood getting stronger with every pain he felt. What the hell was happening to him?
He had felt tired and weak for the past few weeks and he was sick and tired of it. he'd tried to talk to Kaede but every time he got close to her he felt like ripping her to shreds and the thought actually appeased to him. Inuyasha disgusted himself. Whenever he was around Kagome he felt like taking her then and there, defile her purity with his half-breed self. She deserved so much better, but he could never let her go.
He wanted Kagome in the worst possible way and he'd never let her leave his side once he had her. When Kagome went back to her side of the well it felt like a part of his heart left with her, it was never this way with Kikyo. What was different about Kagome? She accepted him, all of him and Kikyo wanted to change him. Kikyo wanted him to be human for her and to rid herself of the duty of protecting the jewel, Kagome liked him for who he was and accepted the good and bad sides.
"Inuyasha?" It was Kagome, he couldn't let her come near him. He could feel the blood seeping into his eyes and it turned his vision red. His fangs and claws lengthened and his blood boiled. He couldn't hold back the demon and it wanted Kagome.
"Inuyasha? Don't play around with me, where are you?" Kagome was annoyed and pissed now.
No, don't come near me . . .
Kagome walked closer to the god tree, she knew he'd be there somehow.
You can't find me or I'll hurt you . . .
"Inuyasha? Are you ok?"
You'd never forgive me . . .
"This isn't funny Inuyasha! Come out!"
I'd do terrible things and you'd be disgusted . . .
"INUYASHA!" Kagome was scared.
Inuyasha fell out of the god tree and Kagome was relieved and worried. "Inuyasha!" She ran over to him and helped him sit against the tree. "Are you hurt?" She checked him over but didn't finish. Inuyasha grabbed her and crushed her body into his. "Inuyasha! What are you doing?" His face was hidden in her raven hair and some muffled incoherent words could be heard.
Kagome struggled to get out of his grasp but it only made him tighten it. "Don't go," His voice made him sound like he was in pain. Kagome looked down at him and her eyes softened. She wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled up to him. "I won't. I'll stay here as long as you need me to." He sighed in relief and buried his head within her raven locks, she smelled so good. His eyes were hidden.
Inuyasha tentatively placed a light fleeting kiss on her neck, Kagome gasped and pulled away slightly. "Inuyasha! Wha-" Inuyasha slashed his mouth over hers and stuck his tongue inside, tasting everywhere and everything. Kagome was in shock. What was his problem? She wrenched her mouth away and looked at his face. Red eyes, blood red eyes.
Full-demon . . . Inuyasha.
"You're a full-demon . . . Inuyasha?" He gave her a hard stare and growled when she said his name. Kagome looked away and his hold on her tightened once again. He kissed the curve of her neck and worked his way up. She gasped and tried to hide her blush. What he was doing felt so good that she had to stifle a moan.
This was wrong. "I want my Inuyasha back! I want the half-demon Inuyasha!" He stopped for a moment but continued his ministrations.
"Why," His breath was hot in her ear. "Do you choose that half-breed over me?" Her eyes widened at his voice and question. He nibbled on her earlobe for a minute. "Tell me." Kagome didn't know what to say and he growled at her lack of response. "I-I don't know. You," She stared at his red eyes and couldn't find any emotions within them.
"You scare me." He growled again and Kagome grew even more frightened. Fear came off her in waves and he grinned a little. "You will choose me over the half-breed or you get no one."
Kagome didn't understand at first what he meant, but Inuyasha heard her sharp intake of breath and knew she got his meaning. She wouldn't have her Inuyasha back unless she gave into him, but weren't they one and the same?
"We are not the same if that's what you're wondering. There are three sides: Human, Half-Demon and me. We are different," He whispered huskily in her ear and she shivered at his voice. "And we have different needs." Inuyasha kissed her neck and lightly bit the junction where her neck and shoulder met. Kagome winced and some blood flowed out. The pain subsided quickly.
"I will have you, we will have you if you'd like to think of it that way. Mind, body, and soul will belong to me, you will be my mate. I'll kill anyone who comes near you, got that?" She nodded and was silent. He kissed her and forced his tongue inside her mouth once again and this time she couldn't suppress the moan of pleasure. "Wonderful."
There was a crash of trees and a whirlwind came out of no where, destroying the silence.
"GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY WOMAN." Kagome gasped. "Kouga . . ."
Chapter 2
Inuyasha growled and tightened his hold on Kagome, crushing her to his side. He leaped up into the God Tree and she gripped his haori. Kouga's eyes were menacingly looking at them, mostly Inuyasha, and he flexed his claws and bared his sharp canines.
"Get your hands off her, dog shit." Threats and hate were laced on his words but Inuyasha just stared down at him, smirking. It made Kouga's blood boil.
"What are you gonna do Kouga? She belongs to me, she's agreed to become my mate." Kagome's eyes widened, Kouga's narrowed. "Your lying. Kagome would never be the mate of a half-breed like you." Inuyasha bared his teeth and Kagome giggled. It made him seem more like a dog. The tense mood was broken.
"What the hell you laughing at bitch?" Inuyasha cocked an eyebrow and she looked sheepishly at him. "Nothing. You just seem more dog when you do that. Hey, don't call me that!" He looked at her skeptically. "Whatever wrench." Inuyasha leapt from the tree, with Kagome in his arms, to land at the edge of the clearing.
Kouga's ice-blue eyes followed them.
To further anger Kouga, Inuyasha kissed her full on the mouth. He brought his mouth up near her ear and whispered, "He's nothing. I'll kill him and then finish what we started." The sound of his voice and the heat of their bodies so close sent shivers down her spine. Inuyasha let out a small chuckle only she could hear.
He couldn't take it anymore. Kouga rushed at Inuyasha and forcefully grabbed his neck and slammed him into a tree. "You think you can have Kagome? Well think again dog shit." The grip on Inuyasha's neck tightened. "She's mine." Inuyasha's eyes became redder, more like blood, at Kouga's comment. He used his claws and sliced Kouga's arm nicely in two.
The grip on his neck vanished and Kouga let out a scream of pain and fury.
"Sorry to disappoint you. Kagome's mine, and she always will be." He moved swiftly to Kouga at blinding speed and extended his claws. Kouga saw it coming and dodged. But not quick enough. Inuyasha's claws pierced his chest, clean through to his back. Inuyasha removed his hand leaving a gaping hole in it's place.
Kagome watched, horrified at the battle. How could Inuyasha do that? Then again, it was the demon form. Kouga didn't back down even though he had an arm missing and a hole through his chest. Kouga should've retreated by now. She looked closely at him and noticed something different. His eyes.
They had a haunted, wild look in them, as if he was delusional or on the verge of insanity. His body was shaking and his face was flushed, like he had a fever or was sick. She bit her bottom lip and was deep in thought.
"Inuyasha, stop." Her voice was small and he didn't hear her. He was wrapped in his own bloodlust.
Inuyasha rushed in for the killing blow and Kouga was too wounded to dodge.
"Inuyasha!" Her scream pierced through the red haze in his mind seconds too late. Kouga's head flew from his body and blood splattered everywhere. He was covered in blood and Kagome stared at him in blatant disbelief.
A ground soaked with blood . . . Hands dyed red . . .
"No." Kagome turned her head slightly and saw Kouga's eyes, open wide and staring at her. She screamed and screamed. Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her, surrounding her in a wall of safety. There was blood on his hands, Kouga's blood.
She quickly pushed him away from her body and walked backwards into a tree. His expression never changed, calm and cool, as if what he'd just done was normal.
It was, but still . . .
She couldn't be here with him, not after what she'd just seen. This battle was different, she couldn't do anything to stop them. It was all her fault. She couldn't find her voice, or the will to yell out 'sit' to stop Inuyasha. She couldn't say a damn word to save Kouga.
"Kagome," He reached out to her and she cringed. He withdrew it. She used the tree for support and braced herself against it but was slowly slipping to crouch on the ground, her head in her hands. Tears ran down her cheeks and she took in great sobbing breaths. Inuyasha looked at her, as she cried for Kouga. It disgusted him.
Why would she be crying about that wolf? Had she loved him? Would she have gone with him if he had won the battle? The thought of her going off with the wolf both sickened him and made a stabbing pain go through his heart. Had she really loved the wolf?
She was crying and it sent anguish through his heart. Would she cry like this for him when he died? He knew she would, but he wouldn't die anyways. He'd always be there to protect her.
"Kagome," Thunder sounded in the distance and lighting tore through the sky. Great drops of rain fell, mixing with her tears, washing the blood away. He cupped Kagome's face in a hand and pushed her wet hair away with the other. She looked at him and lifted a hand to trace the jagged purple stripes on his face.
"You killed him," She simply stated it, nothing else. He looked at her with eyes the color of blood. He looked at her with such tenderness that she thought her heart would shatter. He used his thumb and softly caressed her cheek, wiping away her tears. "I know."
"How can you just say that? How can you say it like you don't care?" Her voice strained and her eyes were miserable. They stared at each other. Time seemed to stop between them while the sky rained, the trees blew in the storm, and the ground washed away.
"Because it's true." Inuyasha's voice was so low she could barely hear his response. "I only care about you." Her breath stilled and her heart pounded in her chest. He was right there. Kagome closed the distance between them and kissed him. Inuyasha ran his fingers through her hair and she circled her arms around his neck, pulling him closer.
They pulled apart and her breathing was ragged, he didn't seem phased. "Why? Why do you do this? Every time. You break my heart every time." He didn't deny anything. It was mostly the half-breed's fault anyways. He was the one running to Kikyo.
"That's not me." Kagome looked away and leaned against the tree. 'That's not me.' He said it as if he was a whole other person. No matter what the full-demon Inuyasha said, he was still part of Inuyasha. Nothing would change the way things turned out in the past.
"I don't know whether I believe you or not, Inuyasha. Honestly, I don't know what to believe anymore." Her words were like a knife through his heart. She didn't trust him. Once again, the half-breed's fault. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and his hands moved from her face and hair, to her neck. He skimmed his claws lightly over her skin and she jerked away.
"Stop. Please stop," He would break her heart all over again. He didn't stop. His hand went lower still, between the valley of her breasts, down her stomach. "No Inuyasha." He surprised her then. He quickly grabbed her and crushed her to him, hugging her.
"You don't trust me," His vice was right near her ear, she didn't miss a word. Inuyasha licked the shell of her ear and she shivered. "Do you Kagome?" Why did he make her feel this way? The things he did to her, the things she wanted him to do to her.
He was lethal.
"I can't stay here, not now. Not after seeing that." He made no comment, just hugged her tighter. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha." He leaned back to lay on the ground, her body came with him. They made quite a picture. He was clutching her body to his and she just laid her head onto his chest, running her fingers through his silver hair.
They looked like lovers.
"Fine." His voice startled her and she lifted her head to look into his eyes. They were filled with pain and longing, for her. "What?" She was confused. "You can go, leave, back to your time." Kagome's eyes widened. He was serious. This never happened before. Usually he was yelling at her that she couldn't go, but in the end she would by yelling 'sit'. He'd never given his permission before. It never seemed like, to her, she ever needed it.
Inuyasha got up into a sitting position, she was in his lap. The arms around her waist disappeared and she got up. Kagome began to walk away and Inuyasha reached a hand out to her. As she left, his hand skimmed her arm, sending electricity through her blood. She gasped and turned around, expecting to see him there.
Inuyasha was gone.
Hot tears rolled down her cheeks, like every other time he left her alone.
