Chapter Eleven
Wishes Fulfilled

"Are you asking me as a human, or an inu youkai?"

"Ha! I KNEW you'd been learning things about inu culture behind my back!"

"Let's just say I've had a vested interest, and the internet is a wonderful thing," Kagome said. "Now, which is it?"

Inu Yasha closed his eyes, lowering his head again to take in her scent, using it to bolster his courage. "Both," he admitted. "I trust you in the place I work, sleep, and raise my son. I trust you with Naoki." He swallowed, finding it difficult to breathe. "I trust you with my body, if you want me."

The last thing he expected, and the thing he hoped for most, was Kagome turning in his arms, threading her hands through his hair as best she could with his knit hat in the way, and standing on tiptoe to press her lips against his. He all but crushed her to him, letting her feel the effect she had on him as he deepened the kiss, not caring if anyone stared. He'd spotted at least two other couples making out before he'd even made the suggestion, so for the moment, he and Kagome fit right in.

Eventually they parted, if only far enough to speak.

"Does that answer your question?" Kagome breathed.

"Yeah. Yeah, it does."

Inu Yasha felt as if he'd been reduced to a pile of overwrought nerves. His ears twitched as he took off his hat, and his nose was in overdrive, fighting to make sure everything was safe and in its place above the heady perfume of Kagome's arousal. He knew she was nervous, too, and somehow that helped him calm down enough to function. He hadn't left the place a complete disaster when he and Naoki left that afternoon, but it was still obviously a bachelor pad. At least he'd had the presence of mind to make sure he'd aired out the futon and put clean blankets on.

Inu Yasha clenched his fists as a wave of his own arousal crashed over him. Images that had haunted him for weeks, months if he were honest with himself, were in very real danger of crossing over into reality, and it shook him deeply how badly he wanted this.

"Where should I put my stuff?" Kagome asked, indicating the coat and scarf folded over her arms.

"Just shove it anywhere," Inu Yasha said. "If it gets buried, we'll find it in the morning."

Kagome chuckled, and the sound warmed his heart, especially coupled with the sight of her taking him at his word and simply tossing her coat and scarf into a random corner.

"Mind if I sit down?" Kagome said, indicating the couch.

"Yeah, sure. Go ahead."

She did so, then patted the cushion next to her in invitation.

Inu Yasha swallowed and gingerly sat down beside her.

"Would it help if we talked first?"

Inu Yasha shook his head slowly. "I don't know. It's just been a long time."

"It has for me, too," Kagome confessed. "Not since it was confirmed I was pregnant with Sachiko."

Inu Yasha snorted. "Sounds like your ex and mine would have gotten along perfectly," he said. "Moment she found out she was carrying Naoki, I wasn't allowed to touch her, much less anything else."

"And that was after already limiting.. things to when you look human?"

"Yup."

"You're right. She and Hojo-kun would have been a perfect match. He..." Kagome took a deep breath. "He was never interested in sex much," she said, deciding that candor would be best. "His version of intimacy was first, grab wife. Step two, check if she's somehow wet. If so, skip to step four. Step three, apply lube. Step four, insert tab A into slot B until ejaculation. Step five, withdraw and fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow."

Inu Yasha stared at Kagome in surprise. "Seriously?"

"Yup," Kagome said with false cheer. "I thought that was all sex was until after my divorce, although I really didn't go looking for anything until Sachiko started school. Since then, it's been the internet and a vibrator to my rescue. Sadly enough, apparently my first orgasm was while I was giving birth to Sachiko, now that I know what one feels like."

Kagome squeaked as she felt herself pulled onto Inu Yasha's lap and held in a tight embrace. She could feel his definite interest against her thigh, his breath hot against her neck.

"That guy was a moron," Inu Yasha said. "Kinda wish I could go back in time, drag you out of there, toss Kikyou in his lap, and take off with you."

Kagome chuckled. "Important thing is, I'm here now," she said with a happy sigh.

"Yeah," Inu Yasha said, heeding the impulse to match Kagome's confession. "There was so much I had heard about, and read about, that I wanted to try with Kikyou, but she wasn't interested. At all."

"You're kidding?"

"Wish I was. I'd heard there were still women that preferred to 'lie back and endure', but thought it was a myth until I ended up marrying one. Anytime I tried to do anything other than, well, just about what your ex did, she would stop me."

"You don't have to worry about that with me," Kagome said. "I want you to touch me, Inu Yasha, anywhere and everywhere you want to."

Kagome's words shook Inu Yasha to the bone. She was there, in his lap, warm and obviously willing. He was about to voice another doubt, when his eyes slid closed involuntarily as she reached up and rubbed both his ears at the same time. Inu Yasha bit back a satisfied growl. He'd finally told her exactly what effect her touch on his ears had on him during one of their makeout sessions, and since then, she'd been taking full advantage.

"I love doing that," she murmured.

"And I love it when you do," Inu Yasha replied, his voice husky. Slowly, still a bit unsure of his welcome, he slid his hand up from her waist, over her ribcage, to cup a breast through her sweater.

Kagome moaned and arched into his touch, the dampness between her legs growing as Inu Yasha ran his palm over her nipple, massaging her exactly the way she liked. Kagome slid her hands beneath his leather vest, pushing it down his arms as far as she could before beginning to attack the buttons on his shirt.

Inu Yasha pulled back just enough to give her better access, while sliding both hands under her sweater to savor the feel of her soft skin. He shuddered as her fingertips brushed against the skin of his chest in her quest to divest him of his shirt, and he waited patiently, letting her continue to seduce him.

As the last button fell open, he made his move, grasping the hem of her sweater and pulling it up over her head. He shivered in delight as Kagome instantly wrapped her arms around him, skin to skin, beneath his open shirt. He could feel the texture of the lacy bra she still wore rasping against his chest and abdomen as she planted kisses on his exposed chest and pushed his shirt and vest the rest of the way off his shoulders to be discarded on the couch. He moaned her name as she took one of his flat, male nipples in her mouth and worried it lightly with her teeth. They both felt his erection twitch within the confines of his leather pants, and Kagome turned her attention to his other nipple.

Inu Yasha soon regained enough presence of mind to bring his own arms around to Kagome's back, praying he still remembered how to unhook a bra.

Kagome froze.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Kagome blushed. It was one thing for him to feel her through fabric, but he had yet to see or even touch her bare breasts. "I..." Kagome swallowed. "My breasts. They have stretch marks. And the nipples got darker after I had Sachiko. They're not pretty and perky anymore."

"Let ME be the judge whether they're pretty or not," Inu Yasha said, cupping her through her bra again for emphasis. "You think I care about stretch marks? You had Sachiko. It goes with the territory." He leaned forward, taking her earlobe and delicately pinching it between his fangs before licking the tender flesh to soothe it. "I can't wait to see you, Kagome. Please let me."

Kagome shivered, his voice, words, and his breath against her ear giving her courage. He wanted her. That much was painfully obvious, judging by the bulge still prominent against her thigh. She still couldn't look him in the eye, but she was able to sit back a bit, winding her arms around her back to unhook her bra. She closed her eyes, feeling the cloth go slack and letting it slide down her arms to reveal herself to her would-be lover.

"Pretty? You're fucking gorgeous!"

The lump in her throat quickly dissolved into tears of relief as she felt his warm, callused hands on her tender breasts, massaging her with the greatest of care before he took one of her toughened nipples into his mouth.

"Hey, you all right?" he asked, noting her tears and pulling back for a moment.

Kagome nodded, unable to speak. Instead, she brought his head to her other breast, and he chortled before devouring the soft mound, savoring her with hunger only mildly tempered by reverence. His free hand was bracing her back, so Kagome allowed herself to lean backward, letting him support her as he worshipped her breasts.

Inu Yasha nearly came in his pants at her blatant show of trust. He did his best to focus on her delectable breasts instead, his mouth and hand making their way down her torso, savoring the way her skin felt beneath his touch, the way her muscles played, first shying away, then relaxing as he explored. It wasn't until he found himself dipping his fingers slightly below the waistband of her skirt and an explosion of Kagome's musk hit his nostrils as her hands slid down his back toward the waistband of his pants that brought him back to his senses.

He raised his head, giving her lips a quick kiss before disengaging.

"Inu Yasha?"

She looked bewildered, confused, her dark hair tousled as she stared at him from the couch, grasping the first thing she could find to her chest, which just so happened to be his shirt.

"I'll be right back. Don't go anywhere!"

Kagome did as she was told, wondering what the heck was going on. Her entire body buzzed and throbbed from his passionate attentions, the area between her legs dripping with liquid heat. Her confusion turned to curiosity as she heard the sound of closets and drawers being opened, Inu Yasha's cursing growing louder, fouler, and more creative as the minutes ticked by.

Finally, he flung himself back into the room, snarling, making a beeline for his jacket.

"Inu Yasha?"

He could see the loss, the heartbreak in her eyes, and it penetrated the fog of lust and utter frustration that had clouded his mind. He put his hands on her shoulders. "Stay right there. There's gotta be some vending machines just down the block."

"Vending machines? For what?"

Inu Yasha wondered if he'd ever blushed so hard in his life. "Condoms," he spat out. "I tossed out what I had when Naoki started walking and finding the damned things, and they'd be too old anyway. Dammit." He tore himself away and nearly made it to the door when he found himself halted by the sensation of both Kagome's hands closing over his own.

"It's okay," Kagome blurted. "I.. my period stopped yesterday, so..."

Inu Yasha sighed, barely refraining from trying to bash his head against the wall. "I know," he said, pointing to his nose with his free hand. "That's not the point."

"Then what is the point?" Kagome asked.

Inu Yasha whipped around, ripping his hand out of Kagome's grasp. "Don't you get it? I'm hanyou!"

"So?"

"So? SO?! I'm half YOUKAI, Kagome."

"And your father was full youkai, yet here you are."

Inu Yasha could almost feel strain of his mind screeching to an abrupt halt.

"Your mother loved your father, and I doubt you were the product of a one-and-only-time," Kagome said.

"I'm not hearing this. I've gotta be dreaming."

Kagome wound her arms around his neck, drawing him down so that his forehead rested on her collarbone. "I want you, Inu Yasha. Every single part of you. Let me prove to you it's true."

Inu Yasha was completely and totally overwhelmed. Not only had Kagome accepted him into her body as a hanyou, she'd allowed.. no. Insisted that he share his most intimate self with her. His very essence was now inside her in more ways than one, and she wasn't just happy about it. She was radiating joy. It shook him to the marrow of his bones as he trembled against her, unable to speak.

Kagome knew Inu Yasha was being uncharacteristically quiet. She could feel his muscles quivering, and she did her best to soothe them with her touch, rubbing his arms, his back, even working her fingers into the silky mass of his hair to massage his scalp.

Then she felt some sort of dampness against her neck. She jostled him a bit, concerned. "Inu Yasha?"

Inu Yasha lifted his head, and Kagome stared in absolute shock before raising trembling hands to either side of his face. She guided him back down, bringing his cheeks within range of her lips, where she kissed the telltale tracks of tears away from his handsome face.

"Thank you, Inu Yasha," she said.

"You're thanking me?!" Inu Yasha choked out.

"Of course," Kagome said warmly. "I had a wonderful time, and anytime you're up for a repeat, I am, too."

Inu Yasha collapsed against her with a groan.

"I didn't mean right away!" Kagome protested. Then a realization hit her. "Hey, Inu Yasha?" she said, poking his shoulder.

"What?"

"Does this mean I've deflowered you?"

"WHAT?" Inu Yasha cried, his head jerking back up to stare at her incredulously.

Kagome took a lock of his hair and twirled it around her finger. "Well, if you've never had sex as a hanyou before, that means I just took your hanyou virginity, right?"

Inu Yasha blinked at her before recovering, a slow, sensual smile crossing his lips. "Correction: I gave it to you," he said, his voice low and his gaze heated. "If I could go back and give you my human one, I would."

Kagome smiled sadly. "So would I."

Inu Yasha scooped her up, giving her an honest-to-goodness, full body hug. "Guess we'll have to thank the pups when we see them tomorrow morning."

"Let's see where this goes before we declare their plan a complete success, hm?" Kagome said.

"Fine," Inu Yasha replied, withdrawing from her with a pang of regret. To try and make up for the loss, he immediately spooned up against her, her back to his front.

"Are you sure you want to sleep with me like this?"

"Like what?"

Kagome blushed. "You said that this position indicates romantic intentions on the part of an inu youkai."

"Did I?"

"Yes, you did."

"Go to sleep, Kagome."

"You're not going to answer me, are you?"

"G'night, Kagome," Inu Yasha said, cupping a hand over her breast.

Kagome sighed. "Good night, Inu Yasha."
