reminder- inner beast= '*talking from subconscious*'

the next morning, Kagome awoke to find her face buried into something firm, but still amazingly soft, and addictingly warm. "ahh, it's been so long since I've had such a great pillow..." she muttered to herself, snuggling against it, "hmm, I wonder what Grimmjow's doing right now." she took a deep breath, then let it out in a long relaxed sigh, "I'm so glad Shippo seems to like him...he really needs someone to support him and his magic...haah, Grimmy really is amazing, he's so-.." her fingers trailed down a ridge on her pillow, only to be startled when said pillow shuddered, and growled lowly. Kagome sat up quickly, and regretted it just as fast when her head began throbbing, "gahh!" she yelped, laying back down.

"hey! what's wrong?" her pillow spoke worriedly. wait, she knew that voice...oh no..her pillow wasn't a pillow at all, it was Grimmjow!

with the realization a bright red blush crept up, staining her cheeks. "G-Gr-Grimmjow! wh-what are-...oh my god.. you-you heard all of that, didn't you?!"

"every word, Kitten, every word." he smiled warmly at her, "it's such a weird thing; a MIKO having such faith and trust in DEMONS!" Grimmjow laughed, hugging Kagome close. she truly was an amazing woman. '*the perfect mate.*' his beast purred happily.

"it's still embarrassing! oh my god... I can't believe you heard me say all that!"

"maybe for you, but I won't ever forget what just happened, I'm happy to know you think so highly of me. especially now, tch, when I have nothing left to impress anyone with."

"huh? what are you talking about? you're so strong, and quick on your feet. heh, not to mention you're a very smooth ride." she snuggled against him, muttering, "so warm..." as she did so.

"you really do look like a cub when you curl up against me like this. it's almost as cute as your morning squeak." he laughed, wrapping his arms around her, holding her close. her scent was still intoxicating despite the undertone of illness due to her cold.

"GAHH!" Kagome yelped, now hiding her face from him, "I've told you over and over, there's no way it's-"

"one of the cutest things I've ever heard." Grimmjow smirked broadly, he belted out a laugh when she pressed her face against him to muffle her scream of frustration.

a few giggles escaped her, as she playfully smacked his shoulder, "oh my god, you are impossible!" Kagome shouted indignantly, "absolutely impossible!"

"hey, I'm a demon, what do you expect?" he laughed loudly.

she loved the sound of his laugh, it was such a powerful, masculine sound, "well, I wasn't expecting you to act like such a wolf!" she giggled, her nerves already gone.

"ok, I take offense to that." he chuckled softly. "I take pride in my PANTHER blood!"

finding a chance to tease him, Kagome continued, "now to top it all off, even your grin was very-KYAA!" she yelped when she suddenly found herself pinned to the mattress, staring up at Grimmjow.

"what were you saying, Kitten? how even my grin was... something?" he grinned devilishly, "I dare ya to say it."

she just lay there, panting, gods...he was so hot, looming over her. he looked every bit as wild as she found she felt.

a devilish smirk quickly spread across her lips as well when the realization hit; he was FLIRTING WITH HER! heh, she had just been lightly teasing him. well, alright then, two can play that game. Kagome looked him right in the eye and winked, saying, "like a wolf."

some part of him still felt insanely jealous over the claims that had been staked on her, both by the hanyou, and that wolf. it sparked something, and he could feel adrenaline coursing through him, "you wanna see me LIKE A WOLF? I can show you just how WOLFISH I can be." before she had a chance to react, he leaned in and boldly began to nip and nibble on the spot where her shoulders met her neck.

his attack was so fast, she wasn't able to put her guard up, "ahn~..." a whisper soft whimper escaped her. followed by a loud gasp as he moved to suckle on her throat.

'*TAKE HER! TAKE HER NOW!*' his beast demanded, as Grimmjow's blood rushed through him like fire. the taste of her skin was absolutely addicting, he didn't even realize what was happening until the world flashed red, and he was no longer in total control of himself, "you're... all.. mine.." he growled, nibbling along her jawline, "miiinne..."

"ahn~ y-yours... ahh~ all yours.." she gasped, clinging to him desperately as her mind completely fogged over.

"that's right...you're all mine.." he claimed her lips gently, then again with much more passion.

she moaned into the kiss. "th-that means...ahnn~ y-you're mine too." Kagome gasped

he smirked broadly. "I wouldn't have it any other way." the sat back for a moment, he wanted to make sure the sight in front of him was burned into his memory. "you look so beautiful..." Grimmjow purred, his voice deep and gravelly. recognition snapped within her as she looked him in the eyes; they were a deep red on striking blue, not the cerulean on white that she had grown so fond of.

"y-your beast..." she whispered, reaching out and tracing the edge of his jawline. "so this is what it looks like on you. I've only ever seen Inuyasha and Sesshomaru with this look. wh-what should I call you?" Kagome asked still a little breathless. "I-I mean you're clearly a different side to Grimmjow; you're his beast, right?"

"how do you know I'm not the same as the one you've been speaking to all this time?" he purred, looming back over her.

her palm moved back to his cheek, "I know because Grimmjow doesn't have red eyes, but you do. the only other time I've ever seen eyes like this is when Inuyasha becomes a full demon, when his beast breaks free. I saw it for a moment with Sesshomaru a long time ago."

"mmm.." the man above her purred, nuzzling her throat for a moment, "you're the first to ask such a thing."

"so...you don't have a name?"

he chuckled, "of course I do, I've just never been asked to tell it." he sat up.

"s-so..?"

"I'll tell you only if you give me one more taste first, I can feel Grimmjow wanting his control back."

"well, I certainly can't argue with that condit-ahnmm."

with her guard down, he slanted his lips over hers, and slipped his tongue into her sweet cavern, making sure to commit every inch to memory. it wrapped around hers, she tasted so sweet. the action caused her to shiver, and let out a soft, "ahhn~"

"until we meet again, my dear, Kitten." he whispered.

"ahh..w-wait! you didn't tell me your name!" Kagome exclaimed as she saw the red and blue begin to fade into cerulean and white.

what do you think Grimmjow's beast should be named? should we stay with "Beast" or give him an actual name?

please, review with what you think his beast should be named
