To Lose the One I LoveBy: Chiruken
Chapter 25
Shaking her head she poured him a glass of orange juice and set it beside him. "Not yet. I want to have a bath first. I won't be long." Not surprisingly, he didn't answer as he began to shovel the food into his mouth. Sighing softly she shook her head. Table manners? What's that? Inuyasha didn't know the meaning obviously. Hurrying up the stairs she decided that it didn't matter. She loved him for who he was…not for what he wasn't. He'd always be rude, crude and socially unacceptable. But that didn't change how she felt about him.
Quickly stripping, she studied her naked form in the mirror, touching her fingers gingerly to the mark on her shoulder. It isn't that bad… She thought with a soft smile. In a few days it'll hardly be noticeable. Right now it just looks like a… Her thoughts trailed off for a moment before she giggled and stepped into the shower. A love mark! She felt stiff and tender, but pleasantly so. A soak in a hot bath would do wonders to revitalize her sore muscles. Humming softly under her breath as she rinsed the soap from her hair she decided that she couldn't remember being happier. He's mine, mine, mine! Hugging her arms around her wet form she laughed happily before reaching for the taps. All mine!
Stepping out of the shower she wrapped a towel around herself and combed out the tangles from her long dark hair as she waited for the tub to fill, steam curling around her making the air heavy and moist. "Oi! Kagome!" Raising an eyebrow at the masculine shout she turned as the door opened. "Done yet?" Inuyasha blinked and stared, amber gaze traveling up and down her body, lingering on her legs and shoulders. "Ano…"
Scowling she pointed towards the hallway. "Inuyasha, can I have a moment, please?"
Frowning in bewilderment the hanyou crossed his arms over his chest. "Why?"
"Out!"
"Why?"
Gritting her teeth at his obviously deliberate obtuseness, Kagome planted her fists on her hips and glared. "Inuyasha, I would like to finish my bath in peace, thank you very much." She waited a moment and when he didn't move she sighed deeply in frustration. "That means alone, you know."
"Ee, I know what it means." He leaned against the doorframe and continued to regard her lazily.
"That means get out!" Her patience was nearly at its end.
"Keh. I don't know what your problem is, woman." Pushing away from the wall he turned and left, slamming the door behind him.
Rolling her eyes, Kagome hurriedly finished brushing her hair and braided it. Pinning the thick plait to the top of her head, she stepped into the steaming water and shut off the taps. Leaning back with a contented sigh she stretched out her limbs and smiled. "Ahhh…this is great…"
"Done yet?" Inuyasha's impatient voice sounded muffled through the door.
"Not yet…" She answered and sank lower into the water.
"Now?"
"No…" A slight frown puckered her brows but she ignored her growing irritation.
"How 'bout now?"
Counting back from ten before answering Kagome clenched her hands into fists in the water. "No, I'm not done yet! Stop asking already!" Honestly! What's his problem anyway?
Inuyasha stepped back from the closed door with a scowl. "Hurry up, woman!" Leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest he waited impatiently for his mate to emerge from her bathing room. Sniffing the air delicately he smiled, catching her scent immediately mingled with her soaps. She always smells so good… He thought longingly, wanting her again. Shaking his head he tried to push that thought from his mind. He doubted she'd be ready for more intimacy so soon. Suddenly his lips curved into a wicked grin. He'd never know unless he asked first. Stepping up to the door again he didn't bother knocking this time, choosing instead to step into the steam filled room.
Feeling a sudden draft Kagome looked up quickly and blinked. "Inuyasha!" She covered herself and sank further into the water. "What are you doing?!" She hissed at the hanyou furiously, cheeks flaming in embarrassment.
Crouching beside the tub he rested his forearms on the white porcelain and leaned closer to her, holding her startled gaze steadily. Instead of speaking, he leaned forward some more and kissed her deeply, reaching into the warm water to caress her soft curves conveniently bared to his questing hands. A soft purr of approval sounded deep in his chest as she arched into his touch. Releasing her lips, he nuzzled against her damp hair and gently nipped her earlobe, careful of his fangs. "Kagome…" He whispered near her ear, lips curving upwards in a satisfied smirk when she shivered and shifted closer to him. "I need you, mate."
Without hesitation she wrapped her arms around him and used his sturdy frame for leverage, pulling herself out of the water to press against him urgently. His arms came around her swiftly, lifting her wet form against him as his clawed hands roamed over her exposed curves, lingering on her hips before shifting to cup her behind. Reaching up to gently rub his ears she smiled when the rumbling in his chest grew louder. Tugging urgently at his clothes she growled in frustration when she managed to only loosen his haori. "Mou…Inuyasha…help me!"
Holding her steady with one strong hand he reached between them and jerked the ties to his hakama loose as he pushed her back, cradling her small frame in his strong arm. No more words were needed as he claimed her lips again as he pushed into her, swallowing her deep shuddering sigh. Urgency claimed dominion over his control, sweeping them both along on a tide of pleasure towards completion.
Throwing her head back in ecstasy Kagome clutched at his shoulders as his teeth sank lightly into her shoulder, the slight sting of pain pushing her over the edge into the abyss of spiraling pleasure, his name on her lips as she trembled in shuddering release. The next instant she found herself flipped over. Laughing softly she shook her head and placed her hands flat on the floor for extra support. Sometimes he can be so predictable…not that I'm complaining! All conscious thought vanished as his arms came around her from behind, holding her steady as he pressed into her again. Anticipation wound itself tightly within her again and soon she was gasping out his name urgently, needing…something. He seemed to know what she needed without her asking. Her eyes slid closed as she gasped, feeling her muscles tightening again.
Spinning her around again he lifted her by her waist so she straddled him. "I want to see you." He explained before gently nipping her shoulder and guiding her into the rhythm he wanted. Beautiful… He thought reverently as his golden gaze remained steady on her flushed features. And she's my mate! Not Kouga's mate…no one else, only me! A wave of possessiveness rushed through him. He'd kill any other male who'd dare to touch her now. A low growl rumbled in his throat before he could stop himself. Sharp pain on his shoulder had him drawing in a quick breath, eyes closing as his hands tightened on her waist. A slow smile tugged his lips upwards. She'd bitten him again. Crushing her against his chest he returned the favor, claiming her as his chosen mate all over again as he felt her body tighten around him, throwing him over the edge into his release.

Author's Notes:
I felt that since Inuyasha has such a strong jealous streak that it would make sense that he'd be possessive as well.
And yes…I do see a problem with his attitude about ALL OTHER MALES. Not gonna work, ne? Good thing Kagome has her not so secret weapon…the 's' word.
Sorry it's taken so long to get to this point. **sigh** I meant to write more while I was on holidays, but it didn't quite work out for me. I had a severe allergic reaction to something (I'm voting MSG to be the culprit) and I ended up with my eyes swollen shut and black and blue. Not the best of circumstances for writing…nor for vacationing. I was very disappointed, that I was.
