Chapter III: Their Insecurities
Inuyasha wasn't going to lose his cool on Kagome. He couldn't show her that he was hurt so he laughed and looked the other way and started walking, not fast enough for her to not be able to catch up. When he didn't hear her footsteps behind him he swiftly turned around to make sure she was still there. He might be mad at her, but that wouldn't stop him from protecting her. He was relieved to find her still standing a few feet away from him.
"Can you stop being so stubborn and just follow me?" Kagome's eyes starting filling up with tears, so she looked down so he wouldn't see.
"Yeah."
Inuyasha turned back around, arms in his sleeves and walked on listening to Kagome's footsteps behind him. They both walked on without saying a word to each other till finally Inuyasha heard Kagome's footsteps stop. Still with his back to her,
"Why the hell did you stop?" Instead of an answer, he heard a loud thump.
Suddenly Inuyasha turned around, his heart was beating so fast and his lungs made it hard for him to breathe. He saw Kagome on the ground, passed out. He ran quickly to her aid. He held her with his arms around her shoulders.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled.
He then remained quiet so he could hear if there was anyone around that may have caused this. All he heard was the rustle of leaves in the wind. He then slipped his hand over Kagome's chest. 'Shes still breathing' he then raced his hand to her bare back. 'No blood, no new wounds'. "She must of just fainted." He then picked her up. He knew he had to reach the shelter...fast and use her medical supplies or she might not make it. As much as he didn't really want to be near her let alone touch her, he couldn't let her possibly die again because of his pride. He set her upon his back. He slipped his hands under he bottom, as much as he usually enjoyed this, he hated the idea of it now. Kagome's arms naturally fell around his neck.
Inuyasha started to run back to the shelter, wondering what Sango, Miroku and Shippo were thinking. They must be so worried and confused. But they must suspect it was a demon. Then Inuyasha realized something...he didn't even know himself what exactly happened. He didn't know if it was a demon. He let his stupidity get the best of him. Instead of getting answers from Kagome he was preoccupied with his feelings. Kagome's body was pressed against Inuyasha's back, harder than usual since she wasn't conscious enough to balance her own weight. He didn't want his mind to venture into lustful thinking, but the way Kagome's breasts were pushed up against his body and his hands resting under her bottom sent his mind to be clouded. 'Kagome.' Suddenly he heard mumbling coming from Kagome.
"Thank you Inuyasha..." Inuyasha stopped and jerked his head around to look at Kagome. Her eyes were still closed and she didn't move an inch.
"Kagome?" Still no movement. She was subconsciously talking. But what caused Inuyasha's heart to stop,
"I love you Inuyasha."
Inuyasha couldn't even speak but instead let out a growl like "huh". 'Was she serious?' Inuyasha knew he couldn't let her down now that her life was at stake so he ran even faster to get Kagome the medical treatment she whole time Inuyasha was running his mind was racing with scrambled thoughts. 'She actually said love. I love her but I wouldn't tell her that..does she mean that though? She said it while unconscious..I don't know what to do.' When Inuyasha finally arrived to the shelter he was greeted by Miroku who was already outside.
"What happened?" Miroku asked
Inuyasha let Kagome slip off his back and he held her up by her arm around his shoulder. Inuyasha explained how he found Kagome and about the critical wounds she had. Miroku called for the others. As soon as Sango saw Kagome she gasped with a hand over her mouth. Shippo's eyes filled instantly with tears and ran for Kagome's legs, "Kaaagoomee!" Shippo whined as he nestled his head against Kagome's leg.
"We need to bandage her up quickly." Inuyasha said, still holding up Kagome.
"There's a problem, Inuyasha.." Sango said.
"Well what the hell is it?"
"You see, we don't have all of Kagome's medical supplies. We left the whole kit back at Kaede's village. We have bandages but that's all." Inuyasha could feel himself getting angry.
"Why would you leave it all with that Hag!"
Sango also started to raise her voice, "It's not my fault! Kagome wanted to leave the village with proper medical supplies and promised to get more for us, but I guess she forgot!" After a moment of silence Miroku looked over at Sango and nodded. He went over and placed a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Listen Inuyasha, Sango and I will ride on Kirara back to the village and get the supplies. It won't take too long." Inuyasha nodded at the plan. Shippo sniffed, "Inuyasha is too stupid to take care of Kagome by himself though." To this Inuyasha picked Shippo up by his shirt and threw him into Sango's arms.
"Hey what was that for?!" Shippo complained.
"Take the little runt with you, I'll stay here with Kagome." Miroku looked over at Kagome, and noticed blood dripping at the bottom of the fire rat coat she was wearing. She was bleeding again.
"Inuyasha, Kagome is bleeding. She needs to be bandaged up till we can get her medicine." Miroku said.
Inuyasha winced at the idea. Before he could object, Miroku climbed on top of Kirara where Sango and Shippo were waiting and flew off. Inuyasha brought Kagome inside and laid her down, stomach down. He found the bandaging tape and sat down next to Kagome. He gulped at the thought of having to undress Kagome without her consent. He slowly peeled down the coat until it was just covering her bum. He winced at the terrible wounds on her back, still bleeding. Inuyasha traced his hand on her back.
Kagome then awoke, her eyes fluttering to adjust to her surroundings. She looked back and saw Inuyasha holding bandages.
"Inuyasha.." Inuyasha dropped the bandage in shock. 'She wasn't supposed to wake up now!'
"Uh." Inuyasha said.
Kagome lifted herself enough for her breasts to be exposed, unknowingly. She scratched the top of her head and looked at Inuyasha who was blushing.
"Kagome.." Inuyasha said while head pointing to her breasts. Instantly Kagome looked down and screamed as he covered herself with her arms. First instinct was for Kagome to yell, "Sit boy!" With that, Inuyasha's blushing face went crashing down.
"What are you doing?!" Inuyasha growled.
"What am I doing? What were you doing?"
Inuyasha showed her the bandages in his hand. "See. You're still bleeding. Please I need to bandage you up."
"Where's Sango? Miroku? Shippo?"
"They went back to Kaede's village where you left all your dumb medicine!" Kagome blushed in embarrassment, "Oops.."
"Now just turn around, okay?"
Kagome nodded and turned around, covering her boobs. She sat up straight with Inuyasha sitting behind her. He started unraveling the bandage and started at the lower part of her back wrapping her up. The wound was long and reached from the lower end of her back to almost the middle of her back. Kagome enjoyed how she could feel Inuyasha's gentle hands gracing her back. To this she blushed. 'I've never seen this side of Inuyasha before...He's so gentle...So what if I'm not Kikyo, he obviously cares about me! I'm so stupid for doubting him!' Even with Kagome's wound, Inuyasha couldn't stop his mind from clouding up with unpure thoughts. As soon as he reached the bottom edge of her breasts, he suddenly stopped. 'I can't touch those'. Besides the wound was now completely behind bandage, but he couldn't tuck in the end of the bandage without accidentally grazing her boob.
Kagome realized his pause,
"It's okay, Inuyasha." Inuyasha was surprised by this, "Yeah,okay." And he ever so slowly tucked in the end off the bandage, the top of his hand grazed the bottom of her boob leaving Kagome and him to blush. Inuyasha slowly pulled his hand away.
Kagome was still facing her back to him. Inuyasha thought since it was almost nightfall and it was extremely cold, he needed to cover Kagome up more. He removed his shirt to expose his bare tan chest. He laid it upon Kagome, who instantly put her arms though the sleeves. Then he wrapped his arms around her waist to tie the shirt together. His chest was pressed against Kagome's back, gently of course. Kagome started to breathe heavy.
"Inuyasha"
"Kagome" Inuyasha purred in her ears.
She turned around to face him. 'I love Inuyasha and I won't let Kikyo keep me from loving him!'
Inuyasha rested his chin on Kagome's shoulder. Out of no where, Kagome felt tremendous pain in her back which caused her to jump up, leaving poor Inuyasha to be pushed on the ground. Kagome, now standing, starting breathing very heavy, warm tears pooling out of her eyes.
"What's going on, Kagome?" Inuyasha concerned.
The pain suddenly went away, leaving her confused.
"Hm, that's strange. It just went away."
"What went away?"
"I got like a random rush of pain from my wounds.."
"Do you think whoever attacked you was one of Naraku's reincarnations? And poisoned you with his miasma?"
"Well I wouldn't know.. I didn't even see who attacked me."
"Well for you to heal properly, we need to some how find him and see if he is allies with Naraku."
Then the two went quiet. The shelter provided a window placed right behind Inuyasha, causing the moon to beam it's light upon Kagome. Inuyasha noticed the way the light was causing Kagome's eyes to sparkle.
Inuyasha couldn't handle it anymore, he walked quickly to Kagome, backing her up against the wall. He placed his hand on the wall, out stretching his arm. Kagome became a little startled at Inuyasha's sudden actions. She admired his arm, his tan muscles on his long arm. She took her attention off of his arm,she looked at his chest that was exposed. His silver-white hair relaxed over his chest. Kagome twirled her fingers at the ends of his hair. She looked up to him, her eyes met with the stunning golden ones. Inuyasha's mouth was opened slightly. Kagome's cheeks redden.
"Inuyash..." She was cut off by Inuyasha's lips pressed against her own. She closed her eyes and let herself to enjoy this. Inuyasha and Kagome engaged themselves in a passionate kiss. Kagome's hands were resting on his chest, his hands on her hips. As the kiss started heating up, Inuyasha moved his hands from her hips to her breast. To this Kagome pulled away from the kiss, leaving Inuyasha caught off guard.
"I'm sorry..I won't.." Kagome cut him off,
"No, it's okay."
She smiled at him and began kissing him. Again, Inuyasha placed his hand on her breast, pushing upwards leaving Kagome to breathe even deeper. Kagome then tangled her hands in the his hair. With Inuyasha's inhuman strength, he took his free hand to hold Kagome up, signaling for her to wrap her legs around him. Inuyasha then began to slowly pull down Kagome's shirt, slipping off her shoulders. He left the kiss to venture on her neck. She could feel his fangs brushing up against her neck, which sent her body in goosebumps. With some of Kagome's breast exposed, Inuyasha returned to caressing it. Just like the fangs, Kagome could feel his claws brush up on her plushy skin.
Thankfully Inuyasha was careful enough to not harm Kagome, but still left her questioning herself, 'Inuyasha must be taking such precaution to not harm me.'
Inuyasha returned to Kagome's lips, biting ever so gently on her bottom lip, to this Kagome bit back causing Inuyasha to be turned on by her playfulness. He bit slightly on her neck, then kissed it to make sure it didn't hurt. Kagome's fingers were tangled in his silver locks. Inuyasha kissed all the way down to he reached her bare breast. Kagome could hear him growl so softly. Inuyasha didn't waste a moment and began kissing her breast, occasionally nibbling. Soon he made it way to her nipple and began sucking, which caused Kagome to moan, "Inuyasha." Inuyasha slipped his hand on Kagome's other breast and began pleasuring it as well. Kagome began to tug on his silvery hair.
'I want her now. I need her. I won't stop. I will never stop.' There was no turning back, Inuyasha was determined in making love to Kagome. In his mind that was the only way he could prove to Kagome that he loves her, and loves her more than he loved Kikyo, since he did nothing more but kiss Kikyo. He didn't want her to be insecure anymore.
Inuyasha stopped with all the foreplay for a moment and stepped away from his stunning priestess. He looked at her real good, her raven hair was slightly messy falling over her shoulders, his white shirt she was wearing slipping down her shoulders slightly exposing her breasts, then his fire rat shirt tied at her waist as a skirt. Kagome looked at Inuyasha back, his golden eyes gleaming, mouth slightly open revealing his fangs, he silver hair reaching down to his tan muscular chest, then his red fire rat pants with his tessaiga. She never realized how beautiful he was.
"What is it Inuyasha?"
"I think you'd be more comfortable if we laid down." Kagome smiled, "Yeah, sure." And she laid down on some blankets she brought back from home, praying that lying on her back wouldn't irritate her scars. Inuyasha then set tessaiga next to Kagome. He laid on top of her, using his hands to keep most of his weight off of Kagome.
'Are we doing what we think we're doing? I want to be with Inuyasha forever, I just don't know if I can do this and not be as good as Kikyo.'Inuyasha went on kissing her neck, giving Kagome the opportunity to speak,
"Inuyasha.."
"Yeah.." He spoke between kisses.
"I've never done this before and I.."
"I haven't either."
Kagome was completely shocked, 'He never made love to Kikyo?! I would be his first?'
"What about Kikyo?"
"Hmph, I didn't love her enough to ever be comfortable doing this.."
"But she was so beautiful and powerful.."
"So are you, but she didn't love me as a demon, just as a human, that's why she wanted me to become all human, I guess she also made me insecure."
'Also? He must have known all along I was insecure about her too!'
"Oh, Inuyasha!" Kagome grabbed kiss face and kissed him so tenderly. Inuyasha was soon back to sucking her breast and brushing his hand around her inner thigh. Kagome was scratching his back with one hand and intertwining his hair with the other. The moment has come, Inuyasha looked into Kagome's eyes, kissed the top of her forehead and began untying his pants.
