Eclipsed Hearts
Chapter 10
Inu Yasha was enjoying the morning. Kagome had gone off on some errand, leaving the children with him. It was getting harder for him to avoid her. Now he sat with Keiko on his lap watching television, listening to Cain and Keiko arguing about the show. He heard her drive up. She seemed to take her time coming in, when she finally did enter, he kept his head purposefully forward staring into the television. Then his thoughts were no longer his. He felt her lips under his, his fangs lightly brushing her lip and traveling down her neck to his mating mark and further. Suddenly it stopped and he felt his face burning he turned to stare at her. Then he heard her in his thoughts 'You are absolutely adorable when you blush.' He blinked. The next thing he knew the kids were following her into the kitchen. Standing he followed them into the kitchen.
As he entered he shuddered as she once again took control of his thoughts. This time he felt her lips traveling down his neck to his chest and lower. Only to have her break the connection. Slowly he released the breath he was holding, and looked at her, she too was flushed and releasing her breath slowly.
"Hungry, Inu Yasha?" she asked and allowed her thoughts to reach him 'I don't necessarily mean for food.' She smiled innocently and continued fixing lunch for the kids.
"No." He spun and started out the door only to have her thoughts reach out to him again.
'Frustrated, my love?' He didn't stop the low growl from escaping his throat. 'I'll take that as a yes.'
The rest of the afternoon and evening was torture for Inu Yasha. Whenever he came near Kagome some wayward thought, or fantasy found it's way into his mind, from the simplest of feeling her hands running through his hair, to what was obviously her most erotic fantasies. A cold shower before dinner had done nothing for the growing desire within him.
They had eaten late and while Kagome finished up in the kitchen, he sat on the couch once again watching television with the kids. 'Apparently' he thought, 'she's to busy cleaning up to torture me anymore.' Then he felt her hands on his neck. This was not in his mind. Somehow she had masked herself from him entirely and was now behind him her hand kneading the muscles of his neck. He stiffened momentarily and then forced himself to relax as her hands worked upwards stopping at the base of his ears. He tilted his head back to meet her eyes only to find empty space behind him. 'Huh? I know she was there.'
"Ok Keiko, time for your bath and then bed time." Kagome said coming out of the kitchen. "And your next Cain." She smiled at him and sent him one thought. 'Must be getting better if you thought it was really me.' Bending she lifted their daughter from his lap her knuckles lightly brushing his chest. "Come on sweetie." Which of the two of them she was talking to Inu Yasha couldn't guess. She seemed to notice the time and looked at their son. "On second thought Cain, you need to get to bed too. Keiko can use the shower in our room and you can use your shower. Now march." Cain pouted but obeyed and headed for the bathroom. With the two kids in the shower he took a moment to look at the clock, it was a little passed their bedtimes but Kagome had never forced the issue here before. Well if everyone was on their way to bed he decided to head out to his favorite tree for the night. He reached behind him for his fire rat hiori but it wasn't there. He stood and looked behind the couch, nope it hadn't fallen to the floor. Scratching his head he tried to think where it could be.
"Night Daddy." came twin voices together as the kids ran past him to their rooms on the opposite side of the cabin at top speed not even stopping for a goodnight hug. He got the impression that the two had a secret but really didn't think much of it, until he heard her clear her throat. Time for the nightly argument, squaring his shoulders he turned. His eyes widened as he found his missing hiori, she was wearing it and, unless he was very much mistaken, nothing else.
"If you want it back... you are going to have to come get it." As she had said this her hands had played with collar opening it enough for him to know he wasn't mistaken. Finishing she turned and walked towards the bedroom. Stunned he watched her walk into the bedroom.
Inu Yasha stood rooted to the spot, his mind in turmoil. What if she rejected him again? What if she didn't? What if.... he gave up. He never was one for what ifs. With a low growl he thrust his doubts away and headed towards the master bedroom. At that moment tomorrow didn't matter only his need for her. He strode through the open door to find her laying on the bed on her side. Her head propped on one hand as she balanced herself with the other. Closing the door behind him he took the few steps towards her, stopping momentarily as he felt her magic pass him. Looking behind him he saw the barrier shining around the door.
"Don't need the kids interrupting." she answered his unasked question, rising to a kneeling position on the bed her arms opening for him. "Come my love, we've played enough games today. Time to be serious."
He barely remembered moving, he didn't remember removing the white kimono undershirt and suddenly she was in his arms. Her lips opening to his kiss as she gently pushed him back. He tried to remove the hiori from her only to have her push his hands away and move them above his head. He tried again only to once again have his hands placed above his head. A third time he tried, and when her hands lifted his arms again he allowed it not fighting. A cool band touched his wrist, but his only thought was the feel of her lips on his neck until he heard a ratcheting sound above his head. He froze as she rose up. "What the hell?"
"A little something I borrowed from Leena." she grinned settling her self astride his hips.
"Kagome!" He started trying to pull out of whatever had him. His passion turning to anger.
"Oh be quiet. You get to listen without running off." Her blue eyes flashed with her passions. "I want to tell you something. I've only been trying for the last week. And stop trying to pull those apart. Those handcuffs were blessed by an American Indian Shaman to hold the strength of a full demon, so they aren't breaking or coming loose." Absently she brushed a lock of hair behind her ear. "Now."
"Kagome." he growled.
"I said be quiet! I'm going to say this and you are going to be quiet, even if I have to use this." She leaned down and pulled a large roll of duck tape from under the bed and placed it on his chest. Deciding that this would be over sooner if he was quiet Inu Yasha bit back the comment he was about to say. "Good. Now, as I was trying to say. I'm sorry. I know I have no right to ask you to come back to me after everything I've put you through. Pushing you away. Being such a cold bitch. All I knew was my baby was dead. I forgot that you had lost too. I didn't know you felt everything with me. I thought no one cared the baby died. And then to find out I'd never be able to have another. I wished I was dead. What use would I be as your mate if I couldn't bear your pups." A tear slipped down her cheek. "I found myself trapped in a depression I couldn't escape. I pushed everyone away. I was horrible to you. I have no right to ask but would you... could you... still want me? I ...."
"Can I speak now?" He asked gruffly holding back his own emotions. At her nod he continued, "I never stopped wanting you, or loving you. Now will you take these damn things off so I can make love to you properly?"
A happy smile lit her face followed quickly by an evil grin. "Ya know I think I'm gonna leave those on for right now. Leena said being the aggressor is very satisfying. Think I'll find out if she's right." She said slipping off the hiori and throwing it from her. Leaning forward she captured his lips and began letting him see in his mind what she had planned.
