CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE:

"Inuyasha... what... what are you..." He captured her lips before she could say anymore, kissing all the way down her neck and over her shoulder, trying to undo the first few buttons of her school shirt.

Kagome closed her eyes and smiled, a content sigh escaping her lips. She had been imagining this moment ever since Inuyasha had first spent the night at her house. Now that her family knew the extent of her relationship with the hanyou, it seemed right that they finish what they had set in motion the day they decided to become mates.

He had removed her blouse now, revealing her shell pink undergarments, and was kissing the soft skin on the side of her breast when she gently pushed him away and went to work on his kimono. As it fell away, she took a moment to take in the sight that lay before her. Of course, she had seen Inuyasha without his shirt many times, but it seemed different this time, now that he was all hers. It also struck her that she would soon be seeing much more of him than just his naked chest and torso.

Kagome ran her new claws lightly across his shoulders and down his back, memorizing each crease and scar. It was amazing how much detail her new demon senses could pick up. Her fingers traced lower and lower on his back as she teased his neck with her fangs. A low growl of pleasure from deep in Inuyasha's throat let her know she was headed in the right direction.

Hardly able to contain himself, he pulled her hips into his and kissed her roughly on the mouth. He slid his hand down her skirt and was beginning to ease it from her body when he felt a familiar, heavy feeling.

"Sit, Boy!" Kagome giggled and tore off through the trees.

"Kagome! What are you thinking?" Inuyasha yelled. But it was too late; she was already out of earshot.

As the spell began to wear off, he scrambled to his feet and sprinted after her scent. “She got farther than I thought. Maybe I should have waited to make her hanyou he mused as he vaulted a low wall and booked through a vegetable patch.

Her scent led him to a small, long-abandoned shrine next to a stream. He padded into the antechamber and pushed back the threadbare curtain that separated it from the altar.

"Are you going to be a good boy this time?" Kagome sat princess-style on a prayer mat in the center of the room, completely nude, with one arm covering her chest.

Inuyasha was hard-pressed to resist running to her side and lavishing her with kisses, but he knew that was not what she wanted. He swallowed hard and kneeled in front of her, kissing the center of her forehead.

"I'll always be good to you." Kagome smiled and undid the straps on his hakama.

He gently guided her onto her back and brushed his lips across her collarbone. She held his hips as he centered himself over her and eased between her legs.

Slowly, they became one. Kagome planted her feet on the floor and rose to meet each of his thrusts. She bit her lip as he moved faster and buried his face in her neck.

The ceiling began to spin, and a warm feeling spread from her thighs out to her toes and fingers. A few moments later she felt Inuyasha's body stiffen, after which, he collapsed on top of her. She massaged the back of his ears as their breathing returned to normal and a calm rainshower began to pound on the shrine's aging roof.

Inuyasha managed to murmur something before drifting to sleep out of exhaustion.

"Mine. All mine..." A broad grin crept across her face. She laced her fingers into his, knuckles interlocked.

"Forever and always..."
