Chapter 7: Fiery Passion. Demon Anger.

Back in the living room, Kikyou stared icily at Miroku for not leaving. Suddenly, Inuyasha, who had been sitting on the edge of the couch beside Kikyou with his ears twitching furiously, fell over face flat onto the carpet. He quickly picked himself off the floor and deflected all of Kikyou and Miroku's questions. Did I just hear Kagome say that she's falling in love with me? A half-breed hanyou?

"Do you really? But you've been here for only a short time! I'd suspected that you liked him, but love? From what I've seen, he seems to be a rude, grumpy, crude, uncouth, foul-mouthed jerk."

"Oh Inuyasha's not like that at all. Well, he is rude and obnoxious sometimes, but he can be sweet and thoughtful sometimes. He's really nice inside. His ears are adorable ::dreamy voice:: and his fangs… Those amber eyes seem to see through your soul… And his kisses…*sigh*"

"His KISSES! You've kissed before!" Sango interrupted Kagome's dreamy tirade.

Kagome blushed a deep cherry red. "Um. Uh huh."

Inuyasha's eyes bulged with each word that escaped from Kagome's lips.

That night. Kikyou refused to leave. She'd seen through Kagome's ploy and would not allow her chance to Inuyasha's fortune to be stolen by some insolent, half-bit (Is half-bit even a word? *~* I hate Kikyou. I hate Kikyou. Can you tell? Please, if you like the beita, does that mean bitch? I hope so, don't flame me.) girl. Inuyasha placed Kikyou in another of the many rooms in the mansion. (Oh yeah, just thought I'd say that Sesshy likes Kagome and so does Inuyasha.) Kikyou was the last thing on Inuyasha's mind. All he could think of were Kagome's words that she'd said to Sango.

Big A/N: It is night. They are all in separate rooms. Sesshy is deep in his own room in his own hall in his own thoughts. Kikyou is unhappy because Inu-kun put her far from him. Miroku dreams of the lovely Lady Sango. Sango is lost in the thought of Miroku's eyes, which stops abruptly when he does you know what in her dreams. Shippou is back in his own room, which has been repaired; he sleeps soundly now with the knowledge of his bond with Kagome. Kagome practices with her miko magic, specifically her aim in her transportation. Inu-kun dreams some naughty dreams involving a certain miko. Now, onward with the story.

Kagome sat on her bed, attempting to practice with her powers. She was hell bent on learning them in time to battle Naraku. Breathing calmly in and out, she focused her energy and moved herself instantaneously to another room. The smile of success that graced her lips slid off quickly when she opened her eyes to find that she had once again sent herself into Inuyasha's room. Looking over at his still form, she sighed in relief that he was asleep. Standing up, she tiptoed toward the door.

"What are you doing here?"

Kagome froze in shock and then stuttered, "Gomen Inuyasha, I accidentally landed in your room. I'll leave now."

"Don't go. Come sit with me awhile." Kagome turned around and looked at Inuyasha. He was now in a sitting position on top of the bed. Kagome slowly moved toward him. The moon shone brightly on his silver white hair. His ears twitched atop his head. Amber eyes peered out at her through the dark of the room. She scooted over onto the corner of the bed, sitting on the very edge. She twiddled her fingers nervously. Sitting so close to him in her nightgown made her blush. He sat shirtless. She looked at him out of the corner of her eye. His chest was flat and muscular. A blush rose onto her face.

Why did I just tell her to stay? -Because you like her. -She probably thinks I'm crazy. I don't like her. -Your right. You don't like her; you love her. -She's beautiful, kind, trusting, pure…I do love her. How did she get this close to me without me knowing? I feel lonely when she isn't by my side. She smells so enticing. I can't stand it.

Inuyasha studied her. The moon's light hugged her body and made her seem like she was glowing. Her cheeks were tinged pink, her fingers fidgety. His gaze drifted down to her slightly parted lips. As if in a trance, he moved closer to her until he was right beside her. Taking her into his arms, he lowered his head toward hers. Their lips were only millimeters apart. He heard her breathing quicken as he wrapped his arms tighter around her slender waist, bringing her body up against his. Closing the distance between them, he placed a gentle kiss on her lips. Drawing back to look at her, he saw only contentment in her gaze. Kissing her once more, he flicked his tongue along the seam of her lips, begging for entrance. She hesitantly complied. His tongue slid into her mouth in a primal motion. Their chaste kiss began to deepen. When they finally broke apart, they were both panting heavily. Inuyasha sniffed in Kagome's sweet aroma and picked up a shift in her scent. Desire. His eyes opened wide. Desire welled within himself as her tantalizing scent continued to thicken with heady lust. He pushed her away from him roughly and backed away. He didn't know if he could control himself if she came any closer. A look of self-disgust crossed his face.

Kagome caught the look of disgust on his face and felt her heart crumble. Had he been toying with her? Tears began to well. Standing up, she turned away from him.

Inuyasha picked up the scent of her tears. He instantly reacted. "Kagome, why are you crying?"

"I'm not crying." Inuyasha got up and walked over to her, turning her to face him.

"Feh! You are crying. Look at me Kagome. Tell me what's wrong."

"Don't toy with me. I know you don't really like me. I saw that look of disgust when you pushed me away. Just leave me alone. I should have known that you truly loved Kikyou." Kagome looked up into his eyes as she said this. Inuyasha felt an ache blossom in his heart when he saw the immense pain filling her brown orbs.

"Kagome, please. I was disgusted with myself because…I couldn't control my desires. I forced myself on you. (I know it's OOC. But hey, the first four chapters have been out for a month or so now and no one's read it. These chapters that have taken so long to write will probably be read only by Kei anyways so…) I…aishiteru Kagome."

Kagome looked at him as he said this. She felt the truth radiating from him. "Oh Inuyasha. Aishiteru. But what of Kikyou?"

"I don't care about Kikyou. She's just a girl my father wanted to pair me with. I only love you Kagome." He pulled her into a fierce hug. Gazing into each other's eyes, they kissed deeply. When they parted, he began to rain feather light kisses down her throat to where her neckline was, causing her to moan. Carefully, his clawed hand drifted up to caress her breast gently. His heart thumped wildly and quickened even more when he smelled the aroma of her arousal. In one swift motion, he pulled her onto the bed with him. Their legs tangled together. Bathed in the moonlight, the two undressed each other. A blush tinged both their cheeks as they absorbed the beauty of the other.

"Kagome" growled Inuyasha softly. He couldn't stand the feeling of her silken skin against his any longer. Bending his head down, he took her nipple into his mouth. At this new contact, Kagome moaned in pleasure. His fangs grazed her breast as he took full possession of her. His hand drifted down to settle on her inner thigh. Tenderly, he slipped a finger into her, sliding it in and out. Her body writhed in ecstasy and she shuddered violently when he slid another finger into her. He lifted his head from her breast and grinned wickedly at her. He sensed her onrushing orgasm and quickened his motion.

"Oh, Inuyasha!" Kagome groaned in bliss. Her husky voice made him stiffen even more as he drew his fingers out of her and licked her clean. She tasted good; shudders trembled through him. As he continued to torture her with his tongue, she came again. He loved the sound of her voice calling him. Seeking to return the delightful sensations, she sat up and pushed the confused Inuyasha beneath her. Straddling his hips, she rocked back and forth on him. His eyes widened in shock, but he quickly forgot, as he was lost in the sensation of her warm, slick body rubbing against his own. The resulted friction caused him to growl as he clenched his fists to stop himself from grabbing her and… She reached up and took one of his ears into her hand, softly stroking.

"Kagome. Kami!" He convulsed when he felt her lips touch him. Her hot, wet mouth covered him. She began to suck on him. Her teeth scraped against him as she lathered him with her tongue. Each pull brought him closer to the edge. "Onegai Kagome! If you don't stop…I won't…be able to…hold back…" Inuyasha gasped between pants. Nipping him slightly with her teeth and drawing him even deeper into her mouth, she sent him spiraling into orgasm. Swallowing his essence, she grinned up at him, her face a bright red. He pulled her up into his arms and growled as he stiffened again. The need was too strong. He could smell her excitement and anticipation. Rolling her beneath her, he poised himself at her entrance. "Are you sure Kagome?"

As an answer, she raised her hips, twined her legs around his waist, and impaled her self with his rigid length. He hissed at the sensuous feeling. She bit her lip in the pain that came because of her virginity. Inuyasha held still with all of his strength. He wouldn't hurt her for the world. Sweat beaded on his forehead from the effort. All he wanted to do now was to pound into her, but he would wait forever for her. Seeing the intense look of concentration on his face, Kagome rocked her hips to tell him she was ready. Together they moved in unison. Wrapping her legs even tighter around his hips, she pulled him deeper still. Meeting each of his trusts with her own, their passion skyrocketed. Sensing that she was about to come, he thrust himself into her powerfully in rapid succession. She whimpered beneath him and when they both came, Inuyasha howled in pure, unbridled ecstasy. Falling onto the bed beside each other, Inuyasha tucked her head into the crook of his arm. They were still joined as Inuyasha pulled the blanket over their bodies. They murmured aishiteru to each other and fell asleep.

"How dare he place me this far from him. I will be his future wife and mate!" Kikyou stormed out of her room toward Inuyasha's.

"That little half-breed. How dare he take her. She was mine. Mine. Her beauty, her power, her strength, her bravery,…her body. They should have been mine!" Red eyes glowed with menace; poison dripped off his claws.

"Have you had your fun now, Kagome. Kukuku. What pain you will feel when I tear you from your lovers' arms forever. I shall gain your power as I should have when you were a child. I will gain the Shikon Jewel within you. Kukuku. Maybe I will keep you Kagome, my pet."

Inuyasha's door flung open. In walked Kikyou staring with wide eyes. "Yarou! How could you! You are mine!" Kikyou shouted at Inuyasha, who had become instantly alert when the door opened.

"Kikyou, what are you doing in my room? Please leave. You will disturb my mate."

"I am your future mate! She is not! Not if she's dead!" A bow and arrow suddenly appeared in her arms. Inuyasha stared in horror as the arrow whizzed toward Kagome. He flung himself across her body, but there was no need. Kagome had awoken. (Never anger Kagome.)

A lance of pink power shot from Kagome and destroyed the arrow. "Inuyasha! Are you okay!" She would not tolerate anyone trying to hurt her love. Kikyou knew that she wouldn't be able to win and left. As she backed out she screamed, "I'll come back. I will. You will die Kagome, for taking Inuyasha from me! You will die!"

Inuyasha held Kagome close to him. He could have lost her. The thought was unbearable. They slipped their clothes back on in case of another intruder and sat in each other's arms. "Inuyasha, ai…" Her sentence droned off. Confusion flooded Inuyasha as Kagome went limp in his arms. Suddenly, behind Kagome, appeared a black haired half-demon. He snatched Kagome from Inuyasha and disappeared.

"KAGOME! NOOOOO!" Inuyasha's sorrowful howl woke everyone in the castle. Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and Shippou all came running. They stopped at Inuyasha's doorway. When they were about to enter, Miroku stuck out his staff and blocked them. Looking in, they saw Inuyasha. His eyes were streaked blood red. His claws were lengthened. Two red lined were beginning to form on his cheeks and a half moon was slightly visible.

Cautiously, Miroku asked, "Inuyasha, what has happened?

"He took her. He took my mate. He took Kagome."

"Who took her?" Miroku asked, thinking, his mate?

"Naraku."
