Deep within lies the truth
Chapter three: When life gives you lemons

"Kagome?"

"Hm?" Kagome asked, her eyelids drooping as she ran her fingers though Inuyasha's silky silver locks. The silkiness of his hair slipped and slid along her palm as she continued to stroke his hair, releasing it from tangles and massaging Inuyasha's head, flicking his ears every now and then, making him purr.

"How many different realms...I mean planets are there?" Inuyasha asked peering up at Kagome, but still leaning into her warm hands that were rubbing his scalp tenderly.

"Nine counting this one," Kagome loved how curious her hanyou was about the world outside of this one. "Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto."

Inuyasha sat up slowly and turned to face her, "Do we live on Earth?"

"Yes, we do," Kagome patted his head like a dog, "Good boy."

"Hey, don't treat me like a dog," Inuyasha growled playfully as he smirked slightly. Kagome smiled back at him and rubbed his ear, causing a pleasured growl to come from deep within his throat, vibrating.

Kagome giggled again when his growl became a purr. "Inuyasha, thank you."

Inuyasha cracked open an eye when she stopped her ear treatment, "What for?"

"For listening to me," Kagome said, her eyes holding great appreciation for the hanyou, "You're the only one who listens to me jabber on about things."

Inuyasha looked at her softly, his golden molten orbs shinning with delight, "Who said anything about listening?"

"Oh you!" Kagome mocked anger as she lightly flicked his nose, causing it to twitch and him snort. She giggled and flicked it again. She was about to a third time when Inuyasha grabbed her hand and examined it, running small kisses on the palm and her fingers.

Kagome blushed as Inuyasha began to kiss her lips tenderly.

Kagome stood up and with her went Inuyasha. Inuyasha blinked in confusion as Kagome turned away. There had been one thought plaguing her mind all day.

"Inuyasha," Inuyasha looked at her silently urging her to explain why she'd stopped him, "what about Kikyo?"

Inuyasha made a little strangled sound in the back of his throat and his left ear twitched at the mention of the dead priestess's name. Kagome took that as the wrong sign and crossed her arms, glaring at him angrily.

Inuyasha, however, seemed unfazed by her glares as he stepped forward and put his hand on the god tree. Running his hand along the bark he allowed a small smile to grace his lips.

Kagome watched him in mild interest as he continued to rest his hand on the tree. Turning to her he still had the small smile on his lips, "So much has happened here, Kagome."

"Don't change the…"

"It's where Kikyo pinned me to the tree," Kagome felt a sinking feeling in her stomach, "But, it's also where you released me. And where I got to kiss you for the first time. Its where I plan to ask you to be my mate."

"What?" Kagome asked, startled by this statement.

Inuyasha turned to her, his hands rising to hold both cheeks and make eye contact with her. He pressed her back against the god tree and stared determinedly into her beautiful blue eyes.

"I lost Kikyo's love, the day she shot an arrow through my heart," Inuyasha whispered so only she could hear. "She walks the world as only a shadow, Kagome. And she's nothing like the Kikyo I used to know. I want to help her, Kagome, I want to appease her soul and put her to rest."

Kagome stayed silent, though her eyes were turning warmer and warmer by the minute.

"That doesn't mean I'll go to hell with her. I couldn't bear to leave you alone like that, without me, without you…my soul would die as well. Kagome, you make me feel so different whenever I'm around you, something much different then Kikyo."

"Why do you compare me to her?" Kagome whispered.

"I'm not comparing, Kagome, there's nothing to compare," Inuyasha said, his eyes flickering with annoyance and anger, "you are Kagome! She was Kikyo!"

Kagome's eyes softened.

He kissed her fiercely then. It was quickly over before it even got started, but Kagome could felt he anger radiating from the kiss, Inuyasha was trying sooth his frustration.

He pulled away and he looked into her eyes, his eyebrows turned downward in an annoyed expression, "I love you, Kagome." His face inches from hers, his hot breath against her lips.

Kagome stared in shock as he leaned down again and kissed her before she could respond. His mouth opened and allowed her to inject her tongue into his mouth, which he sucked on softly and nibbled at it, his own tongue battling it.

He nibbled softly at her bottom lip and then thrust his own tongue into her mouth, tasting her. She panted softly as she tried to ignore the burning sensation running through her, or the growing wetness between her legs.

Pulling away for breath. Inuyasha trailed his tongue from the corner of her lips and across her cheek before nipping at her ear. She giggled as she gasped for breath, her mouth opening in pleasure as he started to kiss, nip, and lick at her neck. She closed her eyes, relishing the sensation of Inuyasha's lips and tongue on her neck. A blush creeping over her cheeks.

Inuyasha's eyes cracked open for a moment, it flickering with male dominance as he drew near her collarbone. Nipping at it he took a clawed finger and quickly cut her shirt from the front.

Kagome's eyes shot open as she discovered that Inuyasha had ruined her uniform by slicing it. She growled deeply, but it was soon replaced by a purr of pleasure as he gently cupped her breasts, his tongue running along the exposed area not covered by her bra.

Subconsciously, her legs spread wider and wrapped around Inuyasha's waist as he slowly sat her down on the ground, leaning forward and kissing her firmly on the lips again, his hands bracing the ground so as not to add too much wait to her. Her hands crept around his neck and held his head to hers as they lavished in their ardent kiss.

She felt the growing wetness below her and she enjoyed the feeling of Inuyasha's lips on hers.

He pulled away, however, earning a whimper from Kagome, who missed the close contact.

His eyes were glazed over as he looked at her softly, his smile curved upward and he kissed her forehead. "Kagome, I love you, and I want to be inside you." Inuyasha mentally smirked at her surprised intake of breath; she had doubts about his feelings? Stupid girl. "Will you allow me to be?"

Kagome's revelation melted away and turned to a feeling of pure need and want. Her arousal causing her thoughts to blur she didn't even think of the consequences, in her mind, there were none. He loved her and she loved him.

She nodded her head firmly ((1,777 words have been edited from this story due to the sexual content. In order to view this full story, go to adultfanfiction dot net and find the penname HAP))

Inuyasha pulled out of her and cradled her to his chest, her eyes were shut and her breathing was even, showing that she'd fallen asleep, he'd forgotten the human stamina, knowing that demons could go more than once, but usually humans, especially females were usually up for one time the first time.

Slipping back on his hakama and inner haori, he wrapped his fire rat haori around her for temporary support in the clothing department.

He rocked her softly to her, his head resting on top of hers, he held his beauty, his life, and his love in his arms, and he loved it, and would trade her for nothing else in this world or her world, or any other world.

She cracked open one eye and reached up a shaking hand to rub his ear, proving that she had not completely fallen asleep, "You know I love you right?"

"Yes, but its always nice to hear it again," Inuyasha whispered as he kissed her rosy pink lips, "now rest, you need your sleep, I'll be here when you wake up."

Kagome closed her eyes and the two allowed sleep to over take them.
