hDon't own Inuyasha!

Chapter 7: Aftermath!

The time went by quickly. Without ever thinking about it, Ari had already called her parents to tell them she was staying out later, and it was 2am.

Toshio and Tashlia had excused themselves hours before, Watano had been escorted out by another demon; Blikmeo was just saying good-night.

"I hope to see you more, Ari," he purred sleepily, looking over at Inutaisho, "Buh-bye!" And he stumbled off.

Inutaisho and Ari laughed, having stoof with him and watched him go. Suddenly, the found themselves alone.

"I should get you home, it's pretty late."

Ari nodded and turned toward the door. The next second Inutaisho had jerked her back and crushed her body against his, crashing their lips together and kissing her hungrily. The hanyou responded eagerly, wrapping a hand in his hair and caressing along his chest. This pulled a low groan from him, tearing his lips away from Ari's to devour her neck.

When he reached the spot on her neck where it pulsed with life, he stopped. This was where he would bite to mate her. He slowly flicked his tongue out to run over her skin, hot sensations shooting through Ari's body at the feeling. His bite so close to her neck made her whole body shake with longing, the emotion encompassing her soul.

Both hanyous felt like they'd been fighting this all night, and the dame had been crushed the second their lips touched.

Inutaisho let out a low growl, one clawed hand sliding under her shirt, needing to feel her skin; to get closer. He was having a difficult time resisting her. She was willing, he could tell, her body pushed against his, neck tipped, small suppressed sounds escaping her. Just looking at her made Inutaisho's gaze fog up. Already his eyes were beginning to flash red with the primitive instinct to join her to him. Arinu was screaming at him, his own body feeling like it was trying to claw its way out to get to her.

With an abrupt curse, Inutaisho shoved her away, leaning back against the wall. Without her male to support her, Ari stumbled back, still in a slight daze from his kisses, gripping onto a table. Both of their breathing was quick and shallow, their eyes and souls wanting eachother with enough force to bring Inutaisho back into her arms.

"Ari…I…" Inutaisho's voice was deep and husky, barely a growl, "We just met, but I want to mate with you. I don't know if you feel the same…"

He couldn't believe this had happened to him. Did he love her? YES! Was the enthusiastic answer from his heart, soul, mind, and body. Was it possible to fall in love so quickly? For a demon…especially if they were in tune with their own instincts…then yes. Since he was most definitely in love with Arinu.

Arinu took a deep breathe and started, "You don't have to doubt that I feel the same way, Inutaisho. I'm half demon, too. Your scent, body, heart—they all call to mine."

Who knew how or who took the first step, but the two hanyous were wrapped up in eachother again.

From one of the back rooms in the club, glittering red eyes glared at the couple.

'Who does she think she is? That bitch only met Inu-baby today and she's already claiming him. I've gotta stop this! Inutaisho's too…delicious to be claimed. She'll end up hurting him or not giving him what he wants.'

Kagura's furious thoughts flew through her head. After Inu had ditched her Kagura had found her own fuck toy for the night. But she wouldn't give up on Inu-baby. Ever since she had met him, the wind sorceress had been trying to claim him. Not permanently, but enough to make him keep coming back to her-and her alone. Now some half dog-demon bitch was thinking about mating him?

'Not on my turf,' Kagura thought maliciously.

Inutaisho and Arinu had barely moved from contact the whole drive home. When his car finally pulled up in front of her house, neither one moved.

"Ari…do you want me to wait?"

Inutaisho's voice seemed deeper in the darkness of the car, and Ari could only make out his outline.

"If you don't mind, I want to talk to my parents," her own voice was soft and warm, as if she didn't want to break the spell.

"No matter what they say…to me you're going to be my one and only."

The male dog demon could hear, more than see, Arinu's smile in her voice.

"I know, but I'm sure they'll be okay with it. I mean, they mated when

Kagome was my age…Inuyasha was older, but that's not important. I'm sure-"

Inutaisho stopped her nervous explanation by gently pushing her against the

door and kissing her deeply. Giving a small sigh, Ari leaned into the kiss.

Slowly kissing his way down her neck, Ari drew a sharp breathe as the

hanyou barely nicked her warm flesh with the tip of one fang.

Drawing away slowly, hazel eyes met black ones.

"I just wanted to…I don't know, scent you somehow."

He didn't have to explain, Ari understood. Their connection was so strong; if

either of them walked away without some sort of bonding both of their

demon bloods would go crazy.

Arinu opened the door, slowly stepping out, and away. To her surprise,

Inutaisho stepped out with her and took her hand, walking her up to her

door. Most of the guys she went out with just went, "Bye, babe," and roared

off. Smiling to herself, she squeezed his hand.

"You can bet I'll see you very soon, Arinu," Inutaisho whispered, before

bending down and giving her a soft kiss.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," she answered, clasping the miniscule mark

on her neck. Watching him start his car and drive off, Ari leaned against the door for a second before opening it and slipping in.

'What a day,' she thought blissfully as she made her silent way to the stairs, and her room.

Passing the living room, a light suddenly blinded Arinu. She covered her eyes for a second, blinking away her dazed vision and a golden-eyed hanyou was revealed.

"Who's scent is clinging all over ya?"
