The Road of the Lover's Battle
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. Nor the characters.
*I've been reading the manga (for the first time) and it's really helped me better understand all the characters, so hopefully in future chapters I'll make the characters more realistic to Rumiko Takahashi's standards.
Chapter IV: Intruder
Inuyasha's hand was placed so gently on Kagome's breast as he untied his pants. Kagome tried to hold her breath with the fear of Inuyasha's claws digging into her flesh if she moved to much. Kagome laid still just waiting for the moment she's wanted for so long, but before Inuyasha was completely revealed, he took his hand from the ties of his pants and carefully moved his hands to Kagome's leg and up to her thigh, giving her goosebumps. He let his claws tickle her creamy white skin, then he slowly inched his way upward. He then made his was just inches away from Kagome's womanhood. He looked her straight in the eyes. His golden eyes caught her dull brown ones. She placed both her hands on top of his hand that was resting on her breast, cradling his gripping hand. She closed her eyes giving Inuyasha the invitation to proceed. Inuyasha didn't want to waste his time just fore playing with her, even though he wished he could. Private time was a luxury at this current moment and he didn't know if Kagome would ever let him have the chance to get this intimate with him again. Kagome waited in angst, she wondered why he wasn't doing it yet, he was surely taking his time...doing nothing. Inuyasha was planning out how he could control himself. Though he was a virgin, he knew of demons losing control while mating, sometimes killing their lover. Though he was only a half demon, he didn't know what to expect, he didn't want to hold back but something in the back of his mind told him to do so. 'This is the one night I wish it were a new moon, I would be human and not worry about hurting her'
But knowing this time was precious and he was wasting it, he went back to untying his pants, slipping them down enough. He was now looking in Kagome's closed eyes, lifted up her fire rat skirt. He could feel her heart beat through the breast he was holding. His heart too was racing, he closed his eyes and was seconds away from entering his young priestess.
Suddenly the moment was interrupted by the loud sound of a bang which caused Inuyasha to be caught off guard, next thing you know Inuyasha's claws are dripping lightly in blood and Kagome is gasping and yelping in pain. Inuyasha looked at his claw. He then looked down at Kagome who's arms were across her chest weeping in pain.
"Kagome..I'm..I'm so sorry..I" Inuyasha said trying to comfort her by trying to touch her new wound.
Kagome slapped his hand and turned her head, her cheeks are wet with fresh tears. Inuyasha not wanting to admit it but he ruined it forever. She would never feel safe being with him again. He vowed himself that he would never lay an intimate hand on Kagome again unless he was in his human form. Inuyasha then suddenly remembered the noise that started him. He slid off of Kagome, tied his pants. He looked at the doorway to find a dark figure in a cloak. He grabbed tessaiga and snarled,
"Who the hell are you?"
The figure just laughed, a laugh similar to Naraku's, which sent a shiver down both Inuyasha's and Kagome's spine. Inuyasha didn't hesitate to get up and draw tessaiga.
"I don't know who the hell you are but I'm not going to let you have the chance for me to find out."
Inuyasha ran to the figure who in a blink of an eye moved over to Kagome. He was on his knees behind her. He grabbed her by her shoulders and held her up. Kagome wincing in pain from both the wounds on her back and now the one on her chest. Inuyasha grew furious, he was not going to let another soul touch Kagome, especially when she's half naked.
"Get your fucking hands off of her!"
Inuyasha's blade now facing the figure again. Kagome was in too much pain to fight like she normally would. All that she could do in that moment is weep. The figure moved his sleeve to revel a metal type claw, rusted by blood. Inuyasha noticed it immediately. 'Is that the demon who hurt her the night before? Is that her blood on his claw?'Inuyasha growled,
"If that's Kagome's blood on your claw you're a dead man!" The figure laughed once more then his words would stop Inuyasha in his tracks,
"Speak for yourself, look at your own claw, soaking in the young priestess' blood."
Inuyasha looked at his claws with Kagome's blood, he started questioning himself, 'he's right, in no different. I am stained with the same blood.'Kagome noticed Inuyasha's discomfort at what was just spoken at him. With the little energy she had left, she spoke,
"Inuyasha, don't listen to him!"
Inuyasha looked up at her, her brown eyes gave him the reassurance he needed. When the cloaked figure started noticing that his words were wearing off on him so he came up with something quickly, with him still holding Kagome's shoulder, he sharply grabbed her chin to face him causing her to squirm.
"Get your fucking hands off of her!" Inuyasha said, his claws ready to tear this guy to shreds. The cloaked figure ignoring his threats spoke,
"Ah, I almost feel bad for scaring the beautiful skin of the young, innocent priestess. Maybe I won't feel as bad if she's not so innocent." He let his hand fall past her covered chest to her inner thigh causing her to yelp.
Kagome felt so hopeless, she would never let something like this to happen to her even if she knew Inuyasha was there to save and protect her. But alas her body was betraying her. She didn't have medicine to heal her wounds and the loss of blood and previous intimate moments have left her to be extremely weak.
"Don't fucking touch Kagome!" Inuyasha growled as he raced to behead the cloaked figure with his Wind Scar. Suddenly the flesh in the cloak turned to dust and fell on the floor with a wooden figurine tied in hair. Inuyasha picked it up. 'Demon puppet.' Kagome knew exactly what was in his hands, she's seen it many times, usually one of Naraku's trick. This convinced her that Naraku was behind her attack. This wasn't the first time he's gone after her, he needed her for her eyes that could locate the shards, but what she couldn't fathom was why did he physically hurt her? She knew he was evil but he wasn't dumb. He didn't want to kill her, at least not yet when he still could use her. Why would he send someone to assassinate her? Why not Inuyasha?
Inuyasha threw the puppet on the ground and spat in its direction. He then looked at Kagome's brown eyes that were watering. He knelt down to her, placed his finger under her chin, lifting it slightly.
"Are you okay, Kagome?" She sniffed and nodded.
"Yeah, I will be."
"So I guess it's safe to say that Naraku is behind this." Kagome was then speechless, not because of Inuyasha but by the throbbing pain in both her chest and back. Inuyasha looked down at the hands covering her breasts. One hand was covered in blood.
"I'm really sorry about that." Kagome didn't say anything. He then tried to move her hands away from her chest.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome raised her voice.
Inuyasha now noticing he might come off as a pervert.
"I just want to see how bad..I hurt you. Just please it's not like that." Kagome loosened up and allowed Inuyasha to move her hand away from his breast.
His signature claw marks were in red on the top of her breast. He felt a knot in his stomach. He laid marks on her. Kagome brushed his bangs back noticing his sorrow. 'It was just an accident. He wouldn't have done it if he wasn't startled.'
"It's okay Inuyasha, doesn't even hurt anymore." She lied. It didn't hurt as much but the slight sting was still lingering.
"I'm sorry." Inuyasha whispered.
He leaned in and kissed the marks on her breast. He then reached for the bandages he used earlier and bandaged her up. He lifted his shirt she was wearing to cover her entirely. He laid her down on her side, were he laid next to her with his arms cradling her, his chin resting on her shoulder. Inuyasha usually didn't sleep and if he did, it was sitting up but Kagome didn't need an explanation. Inuyasha wanted nothing but to hold her and protect her, so he did. He waited till she fell asleep first. He watched her for as long as he could till his heavy eyes won over causing his to drift off into slumber.
