His scent had changed back to the feral, woodsy tone that made her crazy. Pulling and tugging on his clothing she got his collar away from his neck enough to close her mouth over his mark, scraping her fangs across the skin and tasting the spice of his alpha. "Definitely better than chocolate." Her hands clenched into his hair dragging him closer. She moaned for her mate, her call a steady purr in his mind seducing him, wanting to drive him wild.
"Kami saiai! What you do to me." InuYasha was drowning in her scent. Her love and need flooding the bond. Her wicked desires flowing through his mind making him insane with want. He couldn't stand her clothing anymore. It covered his mate and he wanted his mate! Grabbing the back of her yukata he pulled and felt the fabric tear down the seam as it came apart in two halves, sliding down her arms and catching on her obi. She gasped in excitement. InuYasha rumbled his approval upon finding smooth warm skin for his seeking tongue. He was going to taste every square inch of all that flesh.
Pulling her obi off, he dropped her clothes to the ground. Her swirling emotions crashing through the bond making him want to snarl with his desire. She was pushing him, making him burn hotter than before. "I'm going to lick every inch of you koibito until you beg me to fuck you." Sliding into her mind he whipped a hot lash of desire through her as he let his youki slide up her thighs from where he touched her skin.
"And if I don't beg InuYasha?" she looked up at him, still dressed. Smiling as she panted from the youki caressing her, she stroked a finger down his ear digging her nails in at the base like he liked. His scent spiked and she felt his anticipation at her challenge.
He knew she did it on purpose. She loved when his alpha rose and that hint of danger flowed around them. Slowly he shrugged out of his clothing, spreading his fire rat robes out over the ground. "You will beg watashi no kokoro. I guarantee it!" Grasping her firmly he pulled her to the ground.
Kagome was a burning haze of desire. His hands streaking over her, tongue following as he made good his threat. He licked every inch of skin, flipped her to her belly and starting again. As he kissed and nipped at her, she gasped. He was letting his power wash through her as he licked her and it was as if he was washing her in fire. Her skin burned and she was so aroused she wanted to scream with her need. "Say the words saiai. Say the words and I will fill you. I will give you what you need." His voice a steady seducing whisper across her senses as he loved her. When he nipped at her buttock and licked a steady stream of youki against her, she bucked against his mouth. He was pulling her legs farther apart, sliding his mouth down the curve of her hip when he cupped her mound. Stroking gently against her wet lips, the edge of his claws just touching her clit. It was too much and she gave in. "Onegia InuYasha! I need you… onegai!"
He was merged with her mind as she begged for him, felt when she couldn't take anymore and was lifting her hips before she'd finished the words. Sliding into her tight sheath he groaned. Her reiki had been caressing him as much as his youki had been seducing her and he was feeling a little out of control. His demon was rising in his extreme arousal and he couldn't fight it back. "Kagome… I…"
She moaned at the intensity as his demon rose and stretched her more, filled her tighter. "Its good koibito, so good… let him out!" she cried out in ecstasy as he started to stroke into her faster, harder. His hands came down on her back flooding her with his youki as he drew his claws down her spine gently. Kagome heard the guttural growl before his body pressed against hers and his fangs closed over her mark. She cried out as her orgasm slammed through her.
Her sheath clamped on his cock as he bit her. His demon had fully emerged, blending the two of them together again and his mate was enjoying it more than he thought she would. Her moans and cries making them crazy. Pushing through those burning clenching walls felt incredible! He couldn't get enough. Releasing her mark he put his fangs against her nape and once more held her down. Feeling the spike of excitement she fed him when he did that he growled at her and she did it again. It made the demon growl his approval as he pressed against her harder. Still thrusting into his mate's clenching sheath as she came over and over. His power keeping her on the edge so that every other thrust when he hit her womb made her clench and cry out.
"InuYasha! Onegai! You're driving me crazy!" She was pleading now. This continuous never ending orgasm was too much. It never quite finished and just made her wilder for that one hard climax only he could give her. "Koibito! I want…" she could feel him, a shadow in her mind and knew he felt what he was doing to her body. "InuYasha! Finish me saiai onegai!"
"I knew I could make you beg koi." His smug satisfaction flashed through her before he gave her what she needed. Hard and fast he thrust into her making sure to rub against the spot that shot pleasure into her womb with each stroke. Sinking his fangs back into her mark he pushed youki into her until she screamed out her pleasure, dragging him with her, her orgasm so intense he felt it burn through her body and into his. Locking his hips to hers as he came over and over inside her. She felt so good and smelt even better. "Kami Kagome… you smell amazing!" As he collapsed down beside her, he pulled her against him and buried his nose against her neck. The scent tweaked a memory for him but he couldn't quite grasp it. Breathing hard they lay together in the dappled sunlight of the forest.
Snuggling back against him, she smiled "I could say the same about you koi." She giggled and shivered when he licked at her ear. Turning over she looked into the eyes of her mate, placing her palms against his chest. "Today has been a good day. Not as 'normal' as I was hoping but still good." She pressed a quick kiss to his mouth and sat up. Her pile of shredded clothing making her sigh in exasperation.
Chuckling InuYasha sat up with her, "It was in my way of all this skin." Pulling her into his lap he nuzzled against her loving how even though she was annoyed she still purred for him, a soft sound. Standing with her, he set her on her feet and once more handed her his fire rat robe.
"Maybe I should just keep it. It seems to be the only clothes you let me wear." Kagome smirked at him as she tied the robe closed. Picking up her clothes she inspected the damage. "More rags for Sango." His smug laughter tickled her.
Taking Kagome's hand InuYasha lead her from the forest. Jumping with her to their room he left her to get changed. As she dressed he went and collected all the item's they'd been airing out before returning. Together they worked to put the bedroom back in order. Walking out to the common room Kagome had him help her put that room in order as well now that the floor was more than dry enough.
As Kagome went to retrieve her blanket from outside InuYasha joined her but instead of gathering the blanket up he tugged her down beside him. "You're tired koi. Why not rest with me for a while." He coaxed her down beside him softly purring for her, soothing her mind and tired body, letting her feel his love and his need to see her rest if she needed to. Smiling when she laid down with him, he propped himself up on his elbow. This time he stroked her hair back, plucking the combs out and tucking them back in his sleeve pocket, helping her to relax into sleep. Watching her as she rested, he moved through her dreams again hoping to be able to join her once more under the Goshinboku as she excitedly waited to surprise him with her news but she slipped deeper and didn't dream.
He wanted that for them. Wanted to see her grow large with their pups and the desire was building. It was getting harder to ignore. InuYasha gently rested his hand on her belly, letting his mind wander to what the future would hold. He wondered if their pups would be more like him or like Kagome and in the wondering he remembered when they met.
Kami she'd annoyed him when they'd first met! Always excited, Kagome had been a happy vibrant female you couldn't help but be drawn too. Always asking questions and forever getting into trouble. Then the battle with Yura of the Demon Hair had happened and she'd fought for him. Climbed into the thick of the battle and destroyed the comb that was Yura's true form. He'd never forget her sitting in the middle of all those skulls, arrow in hand as she drove the tip home still wrapped in his robe. He'd saved her life giving her his fire rat that day and she'd saved his in return. He'd been such a fool to not realize what she was to him or at least what she could be to him back then. Always fighting and yelling. Getting sat for being a baka. Kami they'd been so young.
He stroked his fingers across her belly, letting the heat of him warm her. She was still young and yet seemed decades older than her nineteen years allowed for. They'd done so much growing up during the shard hunt. She'd been forced to see and do things that he wished hadn't happened. Yet always had she defeated their enemies, always had she overcome what was thrown at her. She was the strongest woman he'd ever known. How he ended up so blessed as to be her mate and to be soul bonded he'd never understand but he'd be forever grateful.
Kagome sighed and rolled slightly to her other hip. He brushed her mind gently not wanting to disturb her and found she was dreaming again. This time she dreamt of running in the meadow playing with him, her cheeky grin inciting him to catch her. She laughed and twisted gracefully away from him as she played. Kagome called it tag and had taught it to Shippo many years earlier. He smiled as he watched them play in her dream. She seemed to always dream about things she wanted to do with him and it made him happy. Her dream shifted and faded to darkness, it took on an undertone of noise, a driving beat that pulsed in his mind as he watched. The lights came next, flashing and spinning in time with the beat and music of her era. He saw her walking through a soft fog. Sliding deeper he dropped into her dream once more.
Standing in the dark room with the flashing lights and music pounding hard enough to feel in his chest he was confused. What was she dreaming about? Looking around he caught sight of her moving through the crowd of people towards him. Her smile radiant as she approached, he forgot how to breath when she finally stepped around the last of the people who separated them. She was wearing red, a short tight dress that caressed every curve and hollow of her body. Her legs were bare and her shoes had a strange thin heal that was so tall he wasn't sure how she managed to walk at all. As she got closer her smile got more and more seductive until she stood in front of him and ran her hand down his chest. It was only then that he realized he wasn't wearing his regular clothing. He had on a deep red shirt, something she called a button down, with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. His jeans were dark and he had boots on his feet. He picked all of this out of her thoughts as she dreamed about them in the future.
"Kagome where are we and what are we doing here wench?" he pulled her in against him, kissing her mouth to keep her from wondering why he was asking when her dream InuYasha should already know. The music racketed up louder and he couldn't hear her answer. Frowning he reached for her, "What did you say?"
"I said you told me you'd take me dancing or have you forgotten already?" she pouted at him but her eyes sparkled in the dim light.
Smirking at her, he plucked what he need from her mind and taking her hand led her to the floor. The music had changed again becoming a wild pulsing beat that stirred the blood and made you think of seduction. Pulling her in close he made her dream into his reality as he moved with her on the dance floor, caressing her sweet curves as they danced together in the dark room. Spinning her so her back was to him, InuYasha brought her arm up around his neck and slid his hands firmly along her ribs stroking the sides of her breasts in her dress. She moaned softly and pressed her pelvis back into him grinding her buttocks over his groin. He growled at her softly in excitement.
Sensing someone coming up the road he snapped his eyes open. 'Kuso! I can't catch a freaking break!' Twice now he'd been pulled out of Kagome's dreams and it was annoying as hell. Sitting up slowly so as not to wake his mate he scented the air and found Shippo and Rin. Sighing a little in regret he kissed Kagome's soft lips, "Watashi no saiai, we're about to have company. Wake up koibito." As she slowly woke up he deepened his kiss. The more awake she became the more she responded until her tongue danced with his and her arm circled his neck. "I would love to keep kissing you koibito but Shippo and Rin are on their way up the road." Releasing her mouth he kissed all down her throat, licking the sensitive skin under her ear until she whimpered. "My mate you are the one not letting me up." Desire laced with laughter danced through his mind making him smile.
Kagome felt him stroke his fingers over her belly and realized he'd had his hand on her stomach, for a while if the heat she felt was anything to go by. He was too distracted by the kid's arrival to realize she'd noticed but she couldn't help but smile. Shifting back to her, he helped her to sit up, brushing her hair away from her face. She turned to see Shippo and Rin running and skipping down the road. Rin was packing an armload of flowers, a huge smile on her face as she skipped along behind the fox demon.
"Kagome! Rin and I brought you some flowers. We thought you could use them to decorate with." Shippo bounced and jumped as he ran, excited to bring her a gift.
Rin's sweet laughter flowed on the breeze, "And whose idea was it that Kagome-oba might like pretty flowers? This Rin's that's who!" she giggled as they got closer.
0000000000000000000000000000
Kagome looked at the buckets full of flowers and shook her head smiling. How Rin had managed to pack that many she didn't know. They'd spent the late part of the afternoon cleaning stems for use in two days, Rin happily chatting away about everything from the other village children to her Lord Sesshomaru. The love she had for her lord pouring out with her words and making Kagome smile. Rin was infatuated as only a little girl could be talking about things she was sure Sesshomaru would rather Kagome didn't know. Like how he let Rin sleep wrapped in his mokomoko, or how he liked to walk with his hand on her head, stroking her hair. How when Jaken wasn't around he'd let Rin play with his hair. Putting flowers through the braids she'd tied and only swiping it apart when Jaken or someone else approached. Kagome was trying very hard not to laugh at the last image. Now if he decided to join them and be family she had something to tease him about if he got after her mate for acting his part in her story. She'd always known there was a softness inside the cold daiyoukai.
While Kagome and Rin worked on the flowers, InuYasha had taken Shippo a little ways into the forest and was helping the fox kit develop his senses a little further. Getting him to track rabbits and other small creatures helped him to increase his knowledge of scent. Finding that the kit had only to smell something once and he never forgot it impressed InuYasha. The half demon had learned all this for himself growing up, having no one to teach him what he needed to know and being so young when his mother had died. Having Shippo be pack was driving InuYasha strongly to teach him. The need instinctual to train the youngest member so even the weakest of them would be strong. He found a new level of patience that he didn't know he had and Shippo was enjoying the attention.
Shippo had always looked up to InuYasha. Even when he'd done things to annoy him it was only to get attention. He was amazed by InuYasha's strength and by his strong will, knowing some of what the hanyou had gone through growing up. He felt a kinship with him having also lost his parents early in his life but hadn't know how to interact with the irritable demon when they'd first met and they had gotten off on the wrong foot. After that it was just easier to be annoying to get attention then to put in the effort to build a closer relationship. Shippo knew his decision to ask to be pack was the best one of his young life. He'd felt something settle in him knowing that now he would always have a home and family. And while he saw InuYasha as an older brother, Kagome was more mother than sister. Not that he'd ever wanted to call her Haha-ue. That would just be weird. She was more like the older sister who had stepped into the role of mother when he'd been alone and scared. He would be forever grateful that she'd invited him to stay with them on the shard hunt. The feeling of security he now carried meant so much.
"All right squirt, you're on rabbit duty tonight." InuYasha informed the kit from where he was crouched down beside him. "You'll need at least three to feed everybody so get to it." It was getting late and Kagome was already starting supper with Rin's help. They'd gone a little ways into the forest to look for some early greens to make a salad with and he wanted to keep a closer eye on them what with the oni that had been in the forest the other day.
Shippo bounced he was so excited. "Right! Three fat bunnies for Kagome!" as he went to dash into the forest InuYasha caught him around the belly.
"Remember what I said. Stay calm, breathe and have patience. You ain't fast enough to chase 'em down yet so you gotta practice stalking. Don't get frustrated if you miss and if you don't catch anything come get me and I'll help. Ain't no shame in asking cause you're still learning. And for the love of all the kami's bring me the bunnies to skin not Kagome." Looking the kit in the eyes he watched as the excitement faded a bit and determination took over. Shippo nodded and once more headed for the forest but with less vigor.
InuYasha waited until he was out of hearing range before he chuckled. Teaching the kit was fun and it was nice that they weren't scraping against each other's instincts anymore. He knew how the kit felt about his mate. Though the little demon had never had designs on her as his own future mate it had still irritated him to have to share her. Kagome loved him though and having him be omega in their pack was keeping him steady. Ear flicking to the woods he heard a rabbit squeal and smirked in pride. Shippo'd caught at least one for dinner.
Leaping into the trees he worked his way through them until he could sit and watch Kagome and Rin. She was showing Rin which plants were which. It had been a while though and every so often he could feel her hesitate as she picked through her memories and then shaking her head would correct herself when she was wrong. Snickering softly he said, "You ain't going to poison our dinner are yah, cause I can go eat with Sango?"
Hearing the laughter in his voice she smiled while continuing to pick the early greens she wanted. "I could just slip something into yours koibito if you like." She never would but it was fun to tease him.
"Feh, you wouldn't do that koi. You love me too much." He loved her playfulness. Leaping closer he sat in the tree above them, watching the forest for danger. He noticed a boar in the woods but it was paying the females no mind.
Sitting back on her legs Kagome looked up. She knew he was up there having felt him getting closer. "How come sometimes I can feel you're aura and other times I don't? You've snuck up on me a couple of times. Then with Koga you're aura went from normal to incredibly strong." Rin looked up to see what she was looking at. Noticing the splash of red against the green smiled and went back to picking leaves.
"I'm masking my aura for the most part. Sesshomaru can do it to. The bastard's snuck up on me before, harder though cause I can smell him. And the power surge only happens with the blending of Alpha and demon so my normal aura is what you feel most of the time, though I'm noticing even that's getting stronger." He was feeling a little smug at how powerful he was getting knowing it only made it easier to protect Kagome.
His smug satisfaction rolled over her and she giggled. "Yes koibito you are becoming my superhero!" Knowing that Souta had showed him comics about superheroes she laughed at his indignation when she imagined him in a costume.
Harrumphing at her in annoyance he said "I ain't going to wear tights and a cape Ka-go-me. So cut it out wench!" She was building silly pictures for him and laughing harder with each image.
Rin was watching as Kagome laughed. She was very pretty when she did that but Rin was confused as to why she was laughing. They hadn't been talking and InuYasha was too high for her to be hearing something he said. "Kagome-oba, what is so funny onegai?"
A sudden squeal and crash came from the bushes behind them. Turning quickly Kagome had enough time to see the large boar rushing at them before InuYasha landed on it driving it into the ground beside them. She grabbed Rin and backed away but the pig was already dead, InuYasha having broken its neck when he'd landed. Kagome was breathing hard, the rush of adrenalin kicking in even though it wasn't needed anymore and it was making her shake. The boar had been a little too close for comfort.
InuYasha stepped off the dead animal and snarled. Something had spooked the boar and he didn't know what. Looking at the pig he saw the slash mark on its flank from where the stone had hit it and driven it from the brush. Raising his head to the breeze he breathed deep, something was there. Faint and dissipating, he couldn't catch it. He could feel Kagome's fear at how close the boar had gotten and leaving it for now he went to her and gathered her close, feeling her shake slightly against him. "It's over Kagome. Just breathe saiai." Seeing Rin's worried eyes he stroked his hand over her hair and made her smile, it was so much like what her own lord did.
Kagome took a couple of deep breaths, pressing her nose to his throat. "Good thing you're fast koibito." If he hadn't been there…. "Guess we can eat pork for a while." Rin giggled beside her and it made Kagome laugh, helping her release the rest of her fear. Looking into the golden eyes of her mate she saw his concern. Brushing against him, she saw what he had and her eyes widened, her scent spiking with fear once more. "It was intentional! Someone spooked the boar at us?" Fear quickly gave way to anger and she snarled softly as her alpha rose. "Who?!"
InuYasha shook his head. He'd been unable to catch the scent and it was already gone. He did smirk at her though giving her a smacking kiss. "You really do make a good Inu. All feisty and riled, protecting the pack. It's really… stimulating… to watch." Sliding his desire through her in one hard thrust he watched her eyes heat.
"Hentai! Behave yourself before you turn into Miroku!" But she smiled her wicked youkai grin, slid her reiki through the bond and stroked him once straight up the middle.
InuYasha's gasped, eyes going molten gold at the sensation. Growling as he reached for her, he heard "InuYasha-oji are you going to bring the pig home? This Rin likes pork. Kagome-oba is this enough greens for tonight?" Kuso, he'd forgotten about Rin. Kagome's aroused laughter stroking his mind wasn't helping.
"Enticing wench!" He kissed her one last time hard before releasing her. She'd done it on purpose, getting him all worked up as only she could. He went back to the boar and picked it up easily. "I'll butcher this farther from the house and get rid of the carcass. Maybe get Shippo to take some to Hiro and Tsueno's family. Too much for just us here." Remembering he'd put Shippo on rabbit duty he howled into the forest for the fox demon.
Shippo soon bounced out of the forest with his fat bunny. He'd only caught the one so far but had been close a couple more times. Seeing InuYasha's boar his eyes widened "Guess one rabbit's good then." He was a little disappointed, thinking InuYasha hadn't believed he could catch all the rabbits until they explained what had happened leaving out their suspicions.
"Shippo, you go back to the house with Kagome and Rin." He didn't like leaving Kagome alone not after this but he needed to take care of the carcass before the scavengers started showing up. He couldn't feel anyone around and was fairly certain whoever had spooked the boar was gone but… "You'd better call me Kagome if anything feels even a bit off, you call me." She was standing under the tree he'd been sitting in, holding her basket of greens with one hand and Rin's with the other.
"Of course my mate! You're my shugosha after all." Her words calm and sure. They'd be fine until he got back.
Dropping the boar he strode towards her. Pulling her hard against him, he cupped her cheek and ravished her mouth. "I can't lose you Kagome. And if someone's trying to hurt you…" he shuddered at the thought resting his forehead against hers.
"Breathe watashi no saiai no hanryo. I'm here, I'm fine and I'm going to stay that way. You've always kept me safe and that's not changing now. We'll figure this out yet, maybe it was just an accident." Releasing Rin's hand she stroked his cheek before sliding it into his hair, pressing against him tighter. "Go saiai. The sooner you get done the sooner you'll come back to me." She looked into his eyes and seeing the glitter in the gold released him to his work.
"So amazingly beautiful koibito…" she was his everything. Taking Rin's hand once more she smiled over her shoulder at him as the trio went back to the house. Picking up the boar he took off deeper into the forest. He hoped she was right and it had been a simple accident. That whoever had sent the stone was simply too scared to deal with him and had run instead. But if it wasn't, if someone had intentionally tried to hurt his mate… there would be nowhere on earth that they could hide to escape his wrath.
