Inuyasha's gaze fell once again to his feet. He took a deep breath and grabbed her in a tight embrace. He held her there for a moment before releasing her. He looked up and Kagome saw a warmth in his eyes she'd never seen before.
The sun began to creep over the horizon, splashing rays of light through the mouth of the cave. It seemed to snap Inuyasha out of what ever thought he was lost in.
"When's the next full moon?" he asked abruptly.
"Oh, um," Kagome started in confusion. She thought for a moment, "Your new moon was a couple of weeks ago, so I guess it would be tonight... Why?"
"Mating takes place during the night of a full moon." He said simply.
They sat in silence for a moment before Inuyasha spoke, "We need to get ready."
They stood in unison, grabbing their discarded clothing and putting it back on.
"This cave is well hidden. That's good." Inuyasha said, although it seemed more to himself than anybody else.
"I'll find some wood for tonight. Can you grab your bag and set up a more comfortable bed?"
Kagome stepped out of the cave and looked back up the beach to see her bag with her supplies and their clothes inside. She had completely forgotten it the night before. Inuyasha dashed off into the forest that met with the sand leaving her alone to her thoughts.
The gravity of the situation began to sink in for her. What would she tell her mother? Her friends from school! Where would they live? Inuyasha could visit her time, but it wasn't a world of demons or magic. He couldn't live there. Could she live here? Could she imagine a world without the internet, television or any of the other things she'd grown up with?
...Could she imagine a world without Inuyasha?
"No." she said aloud, startling herself out of her thoughts. That seemed to have ended the matter. It would be hard, but she would adjust.
She continued to her bag, heaved it onto her back and brang it back into the cave. Getting a better look in the morning light she saw that most of the floor was covered in sand and dust. The cave wasn't very deep, probably only 30 feet or so, but nearly all of that was a large cavern near the mouth of the cave. The rock that Inuyasha had been sitting on last night was against one of the walls and wasn't so much of a rock as a flat ledge, about 2 feet off the ground and 10 feet long, the long edge against the wall and extending about half that away from it.
Kagome set her bag just next to the ledge. Opening it, she started unpacking the things she thought they'd need: a sleeping bag, a few blankets, a small cooking pot, ramen, a change of clothes for herself and Inuyasha's as well. At the bottom of the bag, she saw a small dustpan and brush that she'd nearly forgotten she had. She brushed all of the sand off of the ledge and layed the sleeping bag on it, opening it up to make it wider and laying the blankets on top. She grabbed the pot and went out to find a fresh water stream for the ramen.
Inuyasha looked at his collection of sticks and up at the sky. The sun had already risen high and was beginning to sink back down again. Returning to the beach, he saw Kagome sitting in the sand staring out at the ocean. He walked up to her and sat down, dropping his sticks and wrapping his arms around her.
They stood and returned to the cave. Inuyasha saw the bed she had set on the ledge and an area cleared near the centre with a spit set up, two bowls and a pot of water. Inuyasha set his sticks against one wall, taking a few to start the fire.
Soon, the fire was the only thing lighting the cave, the east entrance hidden from the last rays of the sinking sun. Kagome passed a bowl of ramen to Inuyasha who ate it in silence.
Kagome could tell by from the ocean that the sun had actually sunk beneath the horizon now. The fire had died down to embers leaving the cave dark. They sat near the mouth, a cool wind coming off the water with a salty scent. A sliver of silver light glanced across the horizon, followed by a bright round orb. The wind seemed to pick up, matching Kagome's heart rate. Kagome looked at Inuyasha, now illuminated by the moonlight. The angle threw dark shadows, accenting his clenched jaw. He took a deep breath of the salty air.
"It's time."
He turned and wrapped his arms behind her, picking her up and bringing her into the cave. Reaching the bed, he set her down.
Kagome's heart was racing, her insides were twisting in a mixture of excitement and anxiety. Part of her wanted to remind her what she had done just this morning, but it didn't help much. This just felt different. She looked into Inuyasha's face, half illuminated by the moonlight above her.
Inuyasha looked down at Kagome. Her arms were clenched tightly against her chest, and he could feel her trembling slightly. He slowly lowered himself, capturing her lips with his own. He heard her let out a small squeek, but she soon seemed to relax, wrapping her arms around his neck. He pressed his body against hers, feeling her breasts held together by her bathing suit against his chest. He deepened the kiss, trying to express to her how much she meant to him, how she made him feel, and a number of things he could never put into words or describe.
Kagome felt the heat of Inuyasha's body above her. Her heart was still racing, but all traces of anxiety had melted. Inuyasha broke their kiss and was no brushing his lips lightly along her jaw and down her neck, making her shudder. He passed over her collar bone and continued down to her left breast. Reaching the edge of the fabric still containing it, he gently grasped it with his teeth and pulled it aside, making sure to brush her hardening nipple with his lip as he passed over it, causing Kagome to gasp.
One of her breasts now fully exposed, Inuyasha pulled away to look at her. Her breasts had always been an object of interest to him, that was part of being a man, but now that it was before him in his full view, he wondered what exactly excited him so much. The full roundness, the areola and the nipple now standing up. He felt himself hardening in excitement. He decided that there really was no explaining what about them made him so excited, it just did. And he was going to enjoy it. He took her nipple in his mouth, nipping it lightly with his teeth and flicking it with his tongue. He began to suck on it as his other hand found it's way to her remaining breast and quickly disrobed it like it's twin. He let his fingers brush lightly over her skin and graze her nipple, making her let out another gasp. He grasped the orb firmly and rolled the nipple under his thumb before taking it between two fingers and gently rubbing it back and forth.
Kagome couldn't help but let out small moans with each breath now. She had wrapped her legs around Inuyasha's waist and could feel her core getting damp.
Inuyasha switched nipples, sucking on the other for a moment before he grasped both breasts in his hands and returned to Kagome's mouth, kissing her once more. He could feel himself throb and strain against his pants. He pressed his against Kagome's, the rough friction arousing him further. His hands left her breasts and wound around her back to support himself and to wrap her in an embrace. The thrusts of his hips sped and became rougher before he finally broke the kiss. His hands slipped out from behind her and slid down her sides to her waist where they grasped the bottom of her bikini fluidly and slid it down her legs.
Inuyasha placed his lips jus below her navel and began to trail kisses down her skin. Kagome seemed to have shaved any hair, because none interupted his path as he made his way to her core. He paused for a moment for planting a kiss on her clit, forcing a louder moan from her lips. He let his lips brush against it as he dragged his mouth down to her entrance. He let his tongue explore, starting at the bottom and dragging it to the top, ending with a small flick across her clit before allowing his tongue to return to her opening and lightly pushing inside, tasting her wetness. He removed it and returned to her clit, flicking his tongue quickly over it, gradually increasing the pace and roughness. After a moment he stopped, and Kagome's ragged breaths reached his ears. He shuffled back slightly and removed his own bathing suit, and motioning her to actually remove the top that had been pushed out of the way. Now both fully nude, he pressed his body against hers once again, pressing his cock against her stomach between them and kissing her once more. He pulled back and looked into her eyes which were slightly glazed with lust.
"Turn over," he murmered. "Why? Can't we do it like this?" Kagome asked dreamilly. Inuyasha looked at her for a second, "This is how it's done."
Kagome saw the look in his eyes, and she could tell that it was obviously something instinctual; sort of a ritual. She nodded and slowly turned over in silence and rose to her hands and knees. Inuyasha positioned himself behind her and placed his head at her entrance. He paused for a moment before slowly pushing in. He didn't stop at her barrier and broke it quickly. Through her own cry, she could hear Inuyasha let out a pained grunt. She was confused, why would this be hurting Inuyasha?
He stopped once he was hilted inside her, and allowed her to adjust, before slowly drawing back and pushing into her once more. A warm electricity spread through Kagome's body. She felt a fullness as she had the night before, although this seemed less intimate, but with it came a pleasure deeper and fuller than she had felt from Inuyasha's tongue or his shaft rubbing against her.
His speed increased, filling her with each thrust, his hands gripping her waist tightly. He pressed the small of her back down, forcing her hips back and up, allowing him to rise to his feet and for faster, deeper thrusts. He grabbed onto her shoulders to prevent the force from knocking her forward. Inuyasha could feel his cock throbbing, and the pleasure rushing through his body. His mind was going blank, the only thought left was that he must have more.
Kagome could hardly hold herself up, the waves of pleasure emenating from her core were so intense. She could feel her orgasm building until it released. It was like a damn breaking, so much force being held back and then unleashed all at once. Her whole body shuddered as she let out a deep, shaking moan. Her walls clamped tight on Inuyasha's cock, squeezing it.
Inuyasha's breaths were now ragged as he felt her walls close around him. His own peak was approaching fast, and he increased his pace, thrusting erraticly. At the last moment, he withdrew and sprayed his cum on her back. Kagome's orgasm dulled it at first, but as she decended, she realised that every point where it had touched her back felt like it was on fire.
Inuyasha heard kagome let out a cry of pain which broke his heart. He tried to soothe her as best he could. Kagome's cry became a quiet sob as the burning subsided into a dull ache before finally ceasing altogether.
Shuddering, Kagome turned to Inuyasha, a mixture of hurt and confusion on her face. "That was the mating mark." he said in a tone of sadness.
"Mark?" Kagome asked confused. She craned her neck and turned her back into the moonlight. Starting from the base of her spine and widening out to touch her shoulder blades was a sweeping, jet-tattoo of swirling lines of varying thicknesses that seemed to weave and dance together across her skin. She continued to stare at it for a moment before she paused.
Kagome looked back at Inuyasha. "Do YOU get a mark?" he nodded slowly without breaking eye contact and moved slowly into the moonlight. Wrapping around the base of his shaft was a matching pattern of swirling black lines. She stared at in silence before "Why is it on your dick?" Inuyasha looked taken aback for a moment before regaining his composure.
"It's on my manhood. The escence of who I am as demon and a person. It's what makes me a man, and now you're part of that. You are part of what makes me a man and the man I am, and will be until the day I die. You are my mate, my Love... my Kagome." he finished with a tone of resoluteness.
Kagome stared at him for a moment before grabbing him in a tight hug. His arms wrapped around her and held her to his chest, as the last sliver of the moon rose above the mouth of the cave, leaving them once more in darkness.
###So that's the end. Hope you liked the story. I may add future chapters that take place some time after this, but they'll probably just be smutty sex stories with no coherent plot.
