It was hours later after we had all fallen asleep when I woke up to a purple light. I opened my eyes to see the necklace glowing and hovering slightly above my chest. I sat up, looking around. Koga was still sound-asleep and undisturbed, but Inuyasha was nowhere to be seen. I stood up, and the necklace seemed to be pulling me into the woods. I followed, not knowing what else to do.

It didn't stop lightly tugging until it brought me to an edge of a cliff above the ocean where Inuyasha was standing, staring off into the water. The necklace didn't stop glowing or floating, but it did stop tugging. I took a step towards Inuyasha, the purple light catching his attention. He turned around to face me, looking as surprised as I was by the necklace.

"What's it doing?" he asked quietly.

I shrugged, walking up to him. "I don't know." I looked out at the ocean and the night sky. "Beautiful night."

"Mm." he said, still looking down at me.

I looked back at him. "What?" He didn't move or say anything, just kept staring at the necklace, then back up at my eyes. "Inuyasha?"

He reached a hand up and placed it on my neck. I froze, not sure what he was about to do. His eyes traveled down my scandalously clad body, and I started getting an inkling of what might be going through his mind. I took a step back, but his hand curled around the back of my neck, stopping me.

"No." He commanded quietly.

I felt a sharp tug from the necklace, a jolt running through my body as I was kept from retreating. Inuyasha stepped forward, his eyes half lidded, and he leaned forward, kissing me.

I felt my eyes close on their own, but not that jolty forced action that happened a second ago. It was the kind of thing my body did when my hormones were taking over. I felt the necklace fall back onto my chest and the purple glow died down.

I reached a hand up and snaked it through his hair to the back of his head, pulling myself up closer into the kiss. His other arm glided behind my back, pulling me into him.

When we pulled back from each other, his eyes were full of lust and possibilities, and I had a feeling my eyes reflected the same things. I took a step back, Inuyasha's hands going slack to release me and no resistance from the necklace itself. "I need to get some more sleep." Was all I said before turning away and hurrying back to the clearing. When I got back, Koga was still sound asleep, and I laid down, praying to do the same.

I woke up the next morning after Inuyasha and Koga were already up. I don't know who had gotten breakfast, but both men were eating apples. I was starving and after making sure no vital body parts had fallen out in the middle of the night, I grabbed one of the extra apples and joined them.

We were all eating in silence. Both guys hating each other, and me feeling like the village whore. An apple wasn't nearly enough food for me, but I wanted to get going, so I threw the core in the bushes and wiped my hands off on my jeans. Grabbing my bag and throwing it over my shoulder along with my bow and arrows, I turned to the guys.

"Well I'm heading back now. I don't care what the two of you do, but I have too much stuff to resolve." I turned and started walking without waiting for a response.

The two ended up following without a word. It was a good two hours before Inuyasha sighed in frustration.

"This is taking forever." Koga added to his sigh. "You travel slow babe." I felt my eye twitch when he called me babe. God, a conscience was an ugly thing.

"If you let me carry you again, then we can be back by tonight." Inuyasha said, emphasizing the fact that I'd let him carry me before, something I never let Koga do. I hadn't really let Inuyasha do it though. It's always kind of been forced. But, Koga didn't know that. My eye twitched again.

"Please, I could get you back there before twilight." Koga challenged. Here we go.

"You can't out run me." Inuyasha jeered.

"Wanna bet dog breath?"

"You're on!" They both stopped and looked at me. "Come on Danny, you won't be able to keep up on your own two feet."

"Yeah, hop on if you want to get there first." Koga smirked.

Twitch.

"I'll walk. You two go ahead."

"No way." Inuyasha refused. "You can't be traveling alone right now."

I sighed. "Whoever can run without messing up my clothes… too much wind or jostling and something is going fall out."

Inuyasha smiled his fanged grin, eyes perking up. "I'm your man."

"Wait a second!" Koga yelled, but Inuyasha had thrown me onto his back and took off before Koga could act on it.

I rolled my eyes while I clung onto Inuyasha, praying I wasn't going to flash anyone. I had to admit, Koga was able to catch up easy and get a little ahead, but Inuyasha kept up good. There was never more than a few yards between the two. While they were running, Inuyasha smirked over his shoulder at me. "Having fun?"

I shook my head. "Oodles."

"I'd hate for something to fall out." He teased. I flicked his ear, getting an 'ouch' out of him. He briefly dropped his hands from under my legs, causing me to yelp and slide down his back before he caught them again. My chest had slid against his chest, pulling my tank top down under my bra. I growled in his ear, my human growl paling in comparison to what Koga and Inuyasha could do. All I got was a chuckle.

It was right around twilight when we got back to about a half a mile outside Koga's caves. When we stopped Inuyasha set me down and turned around before I could readjust my top. I felt my face blush, and the look on his face was all hungry predator, only worsening my blush.

Koga came up beside me and glared at Inuyasha. "Thank you… for everything with her. Even though I still had to come save your ass. Thanks, I guess." Koga managed to get out.

Inuyasha shrugged. "Didn't do it for you." And with that, Inuyasha leapt off.

Koga scooped me up and ran us back to the cave where we relaxed for the rest of the evening, not mentioning the previous day's events once.

I woke up in the middle of the night again, the necklace glowing, practically lifting my body up from how hard it was pulling towards the entrance of the cave. "Damn it, Inuyasha." I swore quietly, not wanting to wake Koga, who was sleeping soundly next to me. We hadn't done anything the night before, but it seemed my bed had become his bed at some point. I decided to ignore the pull, forcefully rolling over and shutting my eyes tightly. I gasped when I was suddenly yanked up onto my feet by the neck, reminding me too much of a dog being yank by its owner's leash.

I conceded, creeping out of the cave, afraid I'd wake Koga if I let the necklace forcibly drag me out. I stood outside with my arms crossed, leaning against the mountain wall. "I'm not going." I said out loud. A few seconds went by when nothing happened, then I was suddenly yanked forward again, but this time it was not a short pull. Instead, the necklace was continuously dragging me down the rocky path of my cave and towards the forest. "Fuck you." I swore and my feet scrambled beneath me to keep up with the pull of the necklace.

After quite a bit of forced running, the necklace abruptly stopped pulling and I collapsed to the ground, breathing labored. From my hands and knees I looked up to the figure standing a slight ways ahead of me.

Inuyasha was standing in front of a large tree staring at a small dent in it about the size of an arrow head. He turned around to look down at me, not looking at all surprised to see me.

"How and why are you doing this? I like sleep, and you're keeping me from it." I frowned, standing up on my own two feet and regaining composure. The necklace was quiet now, having accomplished its task apparently.

"I wanted you to come." He said, with added emphasis on the last word. I felt my cheeks flush slightly, and my stomach do a flip. I couldn't tell if he was trying to insinuate something provocative or equate the command used on dogs, but by the look in his eyes I was guessing it wasn't the latter. Inuyasha walked towards me, and I took equal steps back. He gave me an unpleasant look. "Why are you backing away?"

"Because I think we need to keep our distance." I said sternly. No nonsense, despite the fluttering in my chest and dark corner of my mind hoping for some. I didn't want to admit to even myself the fast attraction I seemed to gain for this half demon.

"Why, because of Koga? So you really are his mate?" He said the word 'mate' like it was dirty, taking a step closer. "You're his property? That's funny, you never struck me as the kind of woman to let a man own her."

That crossed a line for me, anger helping me think clearly. "No one owns me. And not that it is any of your business, but no, I'm not Koga's mate. He just told the pack that I was so nobody would try for me. He hadn't even asked me about it." I scowled at him, really wanting to stick my tongue out at him, but knowing I was the only one who took that kind of thing seriously. I stomped past him to the tree he was looking at. I reached up and traced the little hole in the wood with my finger.

"I was trapped up there for 50 years, you know." He said, his voice level again as he walked over behind me.

That got my eyebrow to rise up pretty high. "Fifty years? How old are you?"

"Technically, 69. But I didn't age while I was trapped up there, so really 19."

I kept tracing the spot, imagining being stuck to a tree for that long. It was a nice tree, but still. "Who trapped you?"

There was a pause before he hesitantly answered. "Kikyo."

I suppressed a sigh. What was I doing here? "I've got to get back." I said, turning around to leave, but he was blocking my way.

His face turned back to an unhappy expression. "Koga keeping your spot warm for you?"

I threw an opened hand up to smack him, but he caught it. "That's none of your business." I hissed between gritted teeth.

"Just answer me this," Inuyasha glared down at me, only a few inches between us, making me look almost vertically up at him. "Have you fucked him?"

My stomach felt like it dropped a few inches. "Did you fuck Kikyo?"

"No." he answered without hesitation. Shit. I was counting on the answer being a yes. "So?" He persisted when I didn't say anything. I tried keeping eye contact, tried keeping that feeling of indignation and anger, but ended up having to look away from him. He didn't move and inch, still firmly holding the hand I had tried to hit him with. He made a scoffing noise when he realized the answer. "You really fucked him." He said, shaking his head.

I finally got the courage to look back at him. "What do you care?" I yelled in his face.

He stared at me hard in the eyes, his gold eyes raw with feeling, then grabbed me roughly by the waist and face, pulling me into his lips.

My heart was working in double time as pushed half-heartedly and unsuccessfully at his chest initially, but switched to clawing at him, trying to pull him in as closely as he was trying to pull me. He pushed me up against the tree hard, drawing a whine of happy pain from me. He growled in eager readiness as his mouth traveled down my neck. His hand slid up my small night dress, cupping me and sending me writhing between him and the tree. He pushed the straps of my pajamas off my shoulders with his lips, the loose gown sliding right off my body. He moved his hand and let it fall to the ground, leaving me in nothing but my panties as he started attacking my mouth again. He ripped off his tunic without waiting for me to tell him, his muscled upper body looking glorious in the moonlight, pinning me against the tree. I felt trapped with his arms on either side of me, and worse than that, I liked it.

I pulled at his pants, which revealed his ready and impressive manhood when I got them off. He roughly grabbed my ass with both hands, and took one of my breasts in his mouth. I moaned out in pleasure as he lifted me off the ground, wrapping my legs around his torso. He held me up with one arm now, grabbing the back of my hair with his other hand, and releasing my breast so he could stare me straight in the eye as he entered me. He went in slow, being careful of how tight I was, then slowly worked his way in and out, giving me a chance to get comfortable before really bounding into me, not breaking eye contact the whole time. His penetrating eyes alone took me over the edge a few times. I clung to him, arched into him, thrusting back, calling out his name.

He would whisper sweet words between grunts that I wasn't paying attention to, too caught up in ecstasy to focus. I lost track of time and didn't care. When he finally finished, pushing me over the edge for the 6th time, I collapsed against him, breathing heavily against his chest. He pulled us back off the tree and laid me down on my back, staying on top of me, covering my body from the cool night air with his. He kissed my forehead and wrapped an arm around me, rolling us over so my smaller body was lying entirely on his. He reached over and grabbed his tunic, lying it over us like a blanket. My eyes felt heavy, but I struggled to keep them open.

He kissed the top of my head, burry his noise in my hair afterwards. "Sleep." He whispered gently, and that's all I remember before falling off to sleep.
