CHAPTER 4: An unforgettable night

Inu Yasha sprinted through the woods in feudal Japan. It was only about 4 in the afternoon. He soon came upon Kaede's village quickly and smelled for the old woman. Let's see, let's see. How am I gonna make this work? He soon found Kaede and asked her for some herbs for Kagome's 'cold'.

"That's strange. She wasn't sick when she left…" said a puzzled old priestess.

Inu Yasha had to think quickly. "Uh, well it was raining when I went to her time so maybe she stayed in the rain too long. That's probably how she caught it. Yeah." Inu Yasha was nervous. Since when have I ever had to lie for Kagome? He scratched his head and watched Kaede go fetch some herbs. Inu Yasha let out a sigh of relief, careful to not tip off the old woman.

"Here, tell her to put these in her tea. If you wait a bit longer I'll have something better," spoke the priestess. "Oh and be sure to tell Miroku and the others that Kagome will be back tomorrow."

"R-right." Stammered Inu Yasha as he took the herbs and walked out.

As luck would have it, only moments of walking into the village, he ran into Miroku being classic Miroku.

"Now ladies if you'd be so kind to bear my children then-" SMACK! Sango delivered a stinging blow leaving the monk in the dirt. The women he had been trying to seduce were quickly scampering off laughing. One was saying, "He should know better then to hit on girls when his woman is so close."

Sango yelled fervently, "HONESTLY! You'd think you could just leave them be for a couple days. AND I AM NOT HIS WOMAN!" shaking her fist at the girls who were long gone.

Inu Yasha quickly interjected, "Hey, Miroku, Kagome has a cold but I think she'll be back tomorrow."

Sango questioned, "What? She's sick?"

"Yeah, So, I'm gonna bring her some of the old hags herbs." Inu Yasha was getting a little too good at this lying thing. It was starting to bother him a bit. Never lied this much in my life, let alone in one day.

"Well, alright, Inu Yasha, but make sure she gets those. Keep her company in case she gets worse." YES! I don't even have to think about sneaking away. Thought Inu Yasha. "That'll give me and Sango some alone time-"

CRUNCH! A powerful punch to the face. An embarrassed Sango mumbled, "Pervert," as she walked away and Miroku followed.

Inu Yasha pumped his fist once they were out of sight. This is perfect! I couldn't ask for a better set-up! Hold on, Maybe I should bring Kagome something while I'm here. Inu Yasha stood still for a moment. What do I get her? I've never given anyone a gift before. I'd ask Sango but…no, I gotta figure this out on my own. Inu Yasha raced into the woods to find something special for Kagome.

*-*-*-*-* Meanwhile in Modern Day Japan *-*-*-*-*

It's been a few hours. I can't believe it. It's almost seven o'clock. She sighed. I miss him…Kagome walked around her room. She had already cleaned up. She made sure to put his fire rat kimono shirt in her closet. She cleaned off her desk and put things away that might get in their way. Kagome blushed. What am I expecting to happen? Well, I have a pretty good idea…An image of her and Inu Yasha in her bed, on the floor, and on her desk flashed across mind.

"Maybe I should take another shower?" Kagome thought out loud, but then that pestering feeling hit her again. No, I'm not gonna use that stuff. In fact…Kagome went to the bathroom and grabbed the body wash. She stomped down the stairs and threw it away in the kitchen garbage can.

"I hope I never have to look at that again. I'm not going to rely on something like that."

Though I already used it…Tonight is going to be for us and I don't care if he never wants to speak to me again. She stomped back through as her mother, Souta, and grandfather came through the front door. Oh, shit…

"Hi, mom! What's up?"

"Well, we just got back from Shibuya."

"You went to Shibuya?!" exclaimed Kagome. That's why they weren't home when I got here. They must have gone on a trip. That's one question answered but what about the other one? What am I going to do about them when Inu Yasha gets here? Kagome looked towards the living room and saw something that made her heart drop. Oh, god, my bra! It was slightly under the table. She must have left it there from earlier. I-I can't explain that! The living room is nowhere near where I do laundry. Not only that, but there were two cups for tea on the table. Shit, shit, shit, shit. Her mom took another step into the room but didn't see the undergarment. Wait, maybe they can't see it. Maybe I can just…

"Oh, silly me I left these out here from when Yuka came over. I'll just grab these." Kagome bent down to grab the cups and tucked the bra under her skirt in the elastic of her underwear. She quickly took the tea cup to the kitchen and was about to head out when her grandfather stopped her.

"Uh, Kagome?"

Dammit he saw didn't he? I'm so screwed. It's probably really obvious. "Yes?"

"Don't forget to rinse out the cups."

Kagome let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Oh, I'll do it in the morning. I've got homework to do. Oh, and I had dinner already so you don't need me joining you," she lied. She ran up to her room and closed the door behind her.

Oh, my god, that was close. Too close. How am I going to get away with him being here tonight? I really should have thought this out more. She took the bra out from the elastic and put it in her dirty clothes hamper. How much longer was Inu Yasha going to make her wait?

*-*-*-*-* Meanwhile back in Feudal Japan *-*-*-*-*

Inu Yasha found what he wanted and had it wrapped up in cloth. I hope she likes this. He walked off to Kaede again to get those other herbs for Kagome's 'cold'. Before entering the hut he saw Miroku leaning against it outside. Inu Yasha walked past him and didn't say a thing. Inu Yasha would've sworn he was asleep except that he was tapping his foot impatiently. He walked in and Kaede spotted him. "Ah, yes. Here. The other herbs I was talking about." She handed them to him.

"Yeah, thanks."

He turned and exited the hut. But now Miroku was suddenly gone. He looked mad earlier. Wonder what's got him pissed? He ran to the well and found the lecherous monk sitting against it.

"What the f-? What're you doing here Miroku? Weren't you just at Kaede's?"

"Inu Yasha." Miroku looked serious.

Ah, crap. He figured it out. He looks stupid most of the time but somehow I knew he'd figure it out. Maybe if I play dumb…

"What?"

"Kagome…she's not sick, is she?"

Inu Yasha gulped and scratched his head. "I don't know what you're talking about. I got these herbs from Kaede so that she'd get better and-"

"You're lying. Last time Kagome got sick you made her medicine, not Kaede."

Shit. He's right. I made that medicine for her and she got better the next day. That's when we went shopping for Ramen and Souta made that confession to that Hitomi girl. How could I forget that? Wait, how'd he know that?

"Who told y-"

"Kagome told us. And you stayed there all night to make sure she would be alright."

Damn, there's no getting out of this. Do I have to kick his ass to get there?

"You gonna stop me from going?" grumbled Inu Yasha, unsheathing his claws.

"On the contrary," Miroku's face lost its seriousness and turned blank, "I think you should go."

This isn't making any sense. Inu Yasha sheathed his claws and had a puzzled face. Why would Miroku say that? He wants me to go.

"Why?"

"Mainly because I want some peace and quiet for a day and another reason…" Miroku's face looked sad but quickly changed to a smile, "She's been waiting for a while, maybe you should go. See you tomorrow, right? I better see you in good spirits. Kagome too." Miroku walked to a nearby tree, sat down, and leaned against it.

What was the other reason? Whatever, I need to see Kagome. I've been gone too long. Inu Yasha didn't give it another thought as he jumped down the well.

*-*-*-*-* Back in Modern Day Japan *-*-*-*-*

Kagome was napping in her chair at her desk. On her door she put a DO NOT DISTURB sign with a small picture of a girl studying on it. It was her hope that it'd keep her family away. If it didn't she'd locked the door anyway. She had fallen asleep while pretending to do homework, even though her door was locked. Her dreams were scattered but mostly horrifying. Kikyo was there. She shot an arrow at her attaching her to a tree the same way she'd done to Inu Yasha.

"You cannot have him. He loves me and he hates you with all his being. Isn't that right Inu Yasha?" Kikyo mocked as she embraced Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha! She looked into his eyes and he embraced Kikyo back.

"Yes, Kikyo. Anything you say." Inu Yasha's eyes were hazy and clouded.

"Stop it Kikyo! That's not how Inu Yasha is! You're controlling his mind!" Kagome cried.

"Oh, is that so? Then am I so different from you and your wash?" Kikyo scoffed at Kagome, "Inu Yasha, can you forgive such a horrible girl? A girl who had to rob you of your senses to get you to love her? Who truly loves you more? Who do you love more?"

Kagome began to cry streams of tears. But I love him; you're doing this to him. "Stop it! Stop! Don't listen to her Inu Yasha. She's, she's…" telling the truth.

"I love..." started Inu Yasha.

Kagome was startled out of her sadness. I won't let her win. "No! Inu Yasha! Don't!" Kagome tried pulling at the arrow but it wouldn't budge, "Please, I…I l-love you Inu Yasha. Don't…go to her…"

Inu Yasha looked at Kikyo and then at Kagome. Kagome reached out to him with her other arm but her heart ripped in two when he looked back at Kikyo and held her closer, "I love you, Kikyo and I can't love anyone else." He leaned into Kikyo's lips and kissed her deeply.

"No…no, Inu…Yasha, don't….I...l-love…you…" Kagome lowered her hand. Her eyes blurred with tears. She was no longer pinned to the tree but Inu Yasha and Kikyo were no where in sight. She was surrounded by shadows. I couldn't stop him. He went to her anyway, even when I told him I loved him.

"It's your fault"

Kagome heard voices all around her.

"You're always annoying to everyone around you," Sango.

"That's not true!" Kagome yelled to the darkness.

"And you always get us into dangerous situations," Miroku.

"But that's what we do! We have to fight for the shards right?" Kagome cried out to no one.

"You're selfish."

"And vain."

"You can't accept that Kikyo's better than you."

All the voices were overlapping. She tried to cover her ears but she could still hear them. They were Miroku, Sango, Kaede, Shippo, and even her family. No, it's not true! It's not! She stood and ran into the darkness. The shadows grabbed at her; shaking, pulling, biting, slashing, holding her.

An image of Kikyo came back; twenty feet away. She aimed a few arrows on her bow at Kagome and her heart. A smirk on her face; her voice clear and cold.

"You do not deserve him." Instead of letting go she put her aim past Kagome to lay on a now visible Inu Yasha. Run, Inu Yasha! And she let the arrows go; piercing his heart. He dropped to his knees, his hand on the penetrating objects. Inu Yasha looked up, his eyes pained from her wretched betrayal. Her betrayal? Yes, hers. Kikyo was gone and now Kagome had the bow aimed at him.

"How could you? Kagome?" he rasped and fell to the ground. Dead.

"NO!" Kagome woke up gasping for breath, with tears staining her face and a stinging pain in her heart. Inu Yasha's hand was on her shoulder.

"Kagome? What's wrong? You were crying in your sleep so I tried to wake you but…"

Kagome looked up. She saw his golden eyes. Clear. Not clouded or hazy. No wounds. She got up and quickly embraced him and cried softly. "Thank God."

"Kagome? Kagome, it's okay. It was only a dream right? Dreams aren't real, no matter how scary they are." He held her and stroked her head. What did she dream about? She took a deep breath, inhaling his scent. It comforted her. She dried her eyes and stepped back.

"Sorry, for crying on you. It was…a very bad dream." She isn't lying. What was so scary? She looked at him then realized something and bombarded him with questions, "Hey! What took you so long? How'd you sneak away? You didn't get caught did you? You climbed in my window right? Is it not raining?"

Inu Yasha thought back to all the delays. Herbs. Lying about the cold. Finding that stuff. Miroku's confrontation. Remembering Miroku, Inu Yasha frowned. I'm gonna leave that out. There's no reason to bring whatever that was up.

"I told Kaede you had a cold and so she gave me some herbs for it. And that worked out perfectly because it gave me a reason to leave and not be back until the next day. And the other reason I was so late was…" Inu Yasha reached into his shirt and pulled out something wrapped in cloth. He handed it to Kagome. She looked at it, puzzled.

"It's a present…Ah, I think," he scratched his head and blushed, "I've never given one to anyone before, so I don't know what sorts of things you give to people. To a girl that…you…like…a lot." He trailed off. She smiled at him and then slowly opened the cloth. Kagome let out a small gasp as she pulled a notebook, with intricate designs of flowers on it.

"Look inside…" he said.

She flipped open to the first page and saw a pressed flower inside. She flipped to the next page and found a different one there. Amazing.

"There's a different one on each page. And they won't fall out or anything, so you can write in it when you're lonely or bored or thinking about…me…"he trailed off again, "Is it okay? Do you like it?"

She looked up with a big grin. "Like it? I love it!" She threw her arms around him and kissed him. She pulled back suddenly, "But I don't have a gift for you."

"That's alright, you can owe me one." He grinned. They stared at each other for a moment. Sort of in an awkward silence. Inu Yasha didn't know what to say. How do we do something? Do I have to say something? What if I say something dumb and she ends up crying again?

"Hey, Inu Yasha, can I braid your hair?"

"What?! My hair?"

"Yeah, and you can braid mine. You know how to braid right?"

"Of course I do!" said Inu Yasha getting a little haughty.

They sat on her bed with her behind him going through his hair. Kagome braided it a couple of times but always ended up taking out. It always looks better when it's free. I could just touch it for hours, it's so soft. Inu Yasha sat there not saying a word but with many thoughts going through his head. At first I didn't think I'd like this but it actually is kind of soothing. I think I'd purr if I were a cat. I'm kind of jealous of Buyo now.

"My turn!" spoke Kagome and she sat in front of Inu Yasha knocking him out of his trance.

"Uh, right…" Inu Yasha was a little nervous. Her hair feels like silk. I feel if I'm not careful it's gonna shred in my hands. He pulled the hair back a little, barely touching her neck and sending shivers down her spine.

Why am I so nervous?

Why am I so nervous?

He leaned down and kissed at the base of Kagome's neck, lightly teasing it with his fangs.

"Hey, Kagome?"

"Yes?"

"I don't really want to braid your hair…" he kissed up towards her ears. His hands reaching around her body one finding its way to her breast and the other at the hem of her skirt. He breathed in her ear, "Wanna do something else?"

She let out a gasp. When he talks in my ear like that…it drives me crazy. I get this feeling in my gut that does flips and somersaults. She placed her hands over his.

"I'd love to do something else."

"Then you're going to have to take something off." He said.

He released his hands so that she could remove whatever she wanted. She took off her shirt and skirt. She turned around so that he could undo the clasp in the back for her bra but it was not there. It was as if she were suddenly shy. She made no attempt to remove her panties.

"I'll take these off later." She said to him.

"No, I will," Inu Yasha joked and he guided her to the bed so that she was on his lap again. His hand worked around her and held her breast. "Ah" He kissed her neck again giving her shivers. He made kisses slowly down her back, making her gasp when he hit the sensitive spot between her shoulder blades. He licked her back once from the shoulder spot to her neck making her arch slightly. She liked that. Let's see how much… He continued to fondle her breast with one hand and lick and nibble at her back while his other hand found its way between her legs. He pressed lightly at the damp cotton fabric that hid her core. She bit back a sigh and placed her hand on top of the one feeling at her breast. He brought his head up to her ear again and lightly breathed and tongued it.

"Inu Yasha…" she panted. I love this, just being with him makes me happy, but this is so much more. He pressed again at her center through the cloth, this time with a little more pressure. She moaned again, anxious for his touch. How much longer am I going to keep these on? I want them off already. I want him.

By now she was very wet and Inu Yasha could smell her. It was making him very needy. The scent of her fluids. Oh god, it's doing things to me. I want her so much. He laid her down on the bed on her back. Her hair was loose and spread around her. He was on top of her on his hands and knees.

"Doesn't this feel familiar?" said Kagome as she grinned.

"It does, doesn't it? Didn't I do something like this?" He leaned down and licked her right breast and then sucked on it. He teased with his tongue, running circles around the nub. He nibbled it lightly.

"Ah!" she moaned.

His hand made its way down to her center again and rubbed her core. He got a low moan to escape her lips. He moved the cloth aside a little and felt her folds. She gasped in ecstasy breathing hard. He grinned and slipped his finger into her wet core.

"Mmmm! Inu Yasha…" she breathed; her chest heaving. He slid in is finger a little deeper and pulled it slightly out only to go in again. All the while Kagome was panting, running her fingers through his hair. He kissed her deeply their tongues dancing. Inu Yasha pulled his finger out and Kagome moaned in his mouth. He brought up his finger; it was soaked with her juices.

"You're wet" Inu Yasha grinned

"Thanks to you" she breathed.

He licked his finger clean, "And you taste delicious." He licked his finger again but this time licked both his index and middle fingers. Kagome looked concerned momentarily.

"Kagome I don't want to hurt you so I need to prepare you. If you want me later. Alright?" he looked pleadingly into her eyes. I want to do this with you and no one else, Kagome.

Kagome thought for a moment but only for a moment. I want anything that'll make Inu Yasha happy. But more than that I want it because it will make me happy. "Yes, it's okay."

He lowered his wet fingers to her drenching wet hole again and leisurely entered his fingers. He needed to go slow; he didn't want to hurt her. His fingers went in an inch and slowly forced themselves into her. Kagome let out a small whine of pain. Inu Yasha was about to take them out when she said something.

"It's alright. I'm fine. I'll get used to it. Go ahead," her eyes shimmering either from oncoming tears Inu Yasha hoped it was the later. He kissed her neck and then her lips. She said it was alright. He decided to try again and he slowly went in enough and pulled out a little, then pushed in a little more. "Ah, it's…good," mumbled Kagome. Inu Yasha slipped it in and out a few more times making her wetter the more it continued while still groping at her breast.

"Inu Yasha?"

He looked into her dark eyes. "What is it Kagome? Do you want to stop?"

She shook her head. "I want you Inu Yasha. All of you." She leaned up and whispered into his demon ear, "Please, I want you to be happy"

A throng of longing shot into Inu Yasha. Oh, Gods. Should I do this? I want to do this but should I? She should only do this with someone she loves right? I assumed that she loved me. I shouldn't assume something like that. I know I love her but…this could just be lust for her, not love. I need to know before I go any farther.

"Kagome, do you love me?" Inu Yasha questioned; his eyes serious.

She looked in his eyes and could sense the seriousness of his question. And her answer came out without having to think about it at all.

"You couldn't tell?" she smiled, "I love you Inu Yasha and nothing will ever change how much I love you; even if you ever hate me."

He looked down on her and ran his clean fingers through her hair. "I could never hate you Kagome." Kagome thought about what he'd said and thought about the body wash she'd bought. I guess we'll see. But I'm hoping what you say is true Inu Yasha because I'll never stop loving you.

He stood up and took off his clothes; first his shirt, then his pants. While he was taking off his clothes, Kagome got up and turned on her lamp and turned off the overhead light. As she made her way to the bed she started to slip off her panties. Arms grasped her from behind. I can feel his muscles on my bare back. He's so warm.

"I said I would take those off, didn't I?" He whispered in her ear. I want to be the only one who whispers in your ears. He turned her around and embraced her. Then they fell onto the bed so that they were lying side by side. His hand slowly reached down and tugged the undergarment down her thighs, past her calves, and she then kicked the panties off. Her skin is like ivory. It's so smooth. He let his hand trail up her thighs. Kagome looked at him. He's completely bare except for that necklace Kaede put on him. I would take it off but, it's so sexy on him.

"Are you ready for this Kagome? You're sure?"

"Yes" she smiled.

He positioned himself over her again. He started by kissing her, but not forcefully. A soft kiss of reassurance. He trailed his finger down her middle like he did earlier. It made her gasp. He then licked her breasts, then her stomach, heading south. When he got to her bellybutton he tongued it forcefully making her yearn for more.

"Inu Yasha, please. I want you now." Her breathing getting heavy already. Fantasies danced in her mind, causing her sweet rapture.

He brought his face to her entrance and teased her with his tongue. She tasted phenomenal making him delve deeper with his tongue and lips. Inu Yasha fingered her wet hole as he tasted her. Kagome grabbed at the sheets to keep herself from bursting with ecstasy. "Inu…Yasha…I-I can't t-t-take it. Fill m-me with you."

He tongued her entrance more to make sure she was wet and ready for him. She was taken aback and cried out to him.

"Oh GOD! Inu Yasha! I can't wait any longer, please!"

He re-positioned himself again with his shaft just barely touching her entrance. Agonizingly slow he entered an inch. She moaned and clung to the sheets more. He suddenly pushed in causing her to cry out incomprehensibly . It hurt at first but…Moans from Kagome were turning him on as he slowly pulled out and thrust into her. It's so good, I want him to go faster.

"Ah, ah, ah! Faster, Inu Yasha, oh please, faster!"

He complied by thrusting faster and harder into her. She wrapped her legs around him allowing him more access to penetrate her deeper. He was reaching his climax but he didn't want to come yet. I'll only come if she touches the right spot. She reached up and pulled his face to hers and they kissed ferociously. She bit his lip twice but he managed not to bite her back. The last thing he wanted was to pierce her lip again. She reached passed his face to reach his ears.

"I…pant…remember what…gasp gasp…these do…" she breathed. She rubbed them as she was infiltrated by his cock. He moaned as she rubbed them. "Ah, Kagome, you know…just…where to touch…" She had reached her climax and had orgasmed at least twice already this day.

"I'm g-going to come." Kagome sighed.

"Me too. Do you want me to pull out?"

"No! Of course not! Just...can we try to do it...together?"

She and he were sent into sweet bliss as he did a final hard thrust and they both came. He stopped thrusting and panted for a bit as did she. She was gasping for breath when he slowly pulled out causing her to moan a final time. He pulled a blanket up to cover them both as he lay next to her. He kissed her forehead and then held her in his arms against his body.

"Kagome, I love you with everything that I am. I will always be here when you need me."

Kagome fell into exhaustion but heard his words and for the first time didn't worry about the body wash she was so sure was going to ruin her. That night she had happy dreams of sitting in a field with him and he was holding her close, promising never to let go.

Notes:

This chapter has been slightly re-editted from it's original to account for my growth as a writer but you can only do so much without changing the entire story. I changed a few words and deleted a few sentences while adding different ones in the hopes that it would improved the style somewhat.

Freya

Oh and thank you to Demented Angie. I didn't use exactly what you were thinking but it helped me put together the Miroku scene and it will probably affect the Side-story with him.
