Chapter 14: Sweet Dreams
Dark, damp and quiet. The trees swayed silently in the chilling breeze that moved across the secluded landscape, whisking leaves and other such debris over the dew soaked grass that refused to obey the winds power. The trees surrounding the small area were a force to be reckoned with. Their size alone was imitating, towering over the woodland, creating shadows that rested everywhere and no one could predict the evil that lurked withing their darkness.
This was the environment that Kagome opened her eyes to witness. She slowly lifted her weight up off the ground, the front of her school uniform was dampened by the syringe that had been resting on the grass. Now on her knees, Kagome shifted her eyes around the wooded area. How did she manage to get here?
She balled her fist up in the soft morning grass, as she did so, the soil that rested beneath the pasturage came loose and klumped up within her palm. It too was soft and freah. She brought her hand up and let the grains of soil slip between her fingers and hit the green earth below.
It felt so real. No doubt it was, but how on earth did she manage to arrive to this place? Or get back in her school uniform when she clearly remembered changing into her pajamas.
Kagome attained to lift herself up to her feet and brush some of the dirt off the front of her uniform. It was still incredibly damp and irritably uncomfortable because it tended to stick close to her body. She felt something squishy beneath her feet.
Looking down, she saw that she was lacking of shoes. Just her luck. She wakes up, in the middle of nowhere, in her uniform, she was soaked, and now she had to deal with the fact that she didn't have any shoes. She was going to have to walk through the forest barefoot or should she say sock clad. How gross, who knew what was on the ground below and she could barely see her hands in front of her!
Taking a few steps around the area, she looked to the skies above. The moon was non-existant, plus there wasn't even a star to be seen or even create the faintest of light. She lowered her head down again to look forward. There wasn't much of a point considering she couldn't see a thing, save the dark looming shadows of a few trees.
Kagome opened her mouth, about to say something highly sardonic about her situation and the odds of being found in the middle of nowhere, but words refused to emitt from her throat. Her hand made it's way up to find her neck and rubbed the area soothingly as if to coax the sound of her voice out.
Nothing.
'How come I can't speak', Kagome began to mentally panic, what the hell was going on? She looked towards the trees that were before her once again, except this time a path seemed to have iluminated. But the lighting of the area hadn't hinted to have lit up on any factor. Maybe her eyes were just ajusting to the lighting of her surroundings, 'at least I can see something now!'
Kagome suddenoly felt compelled to walk through that path. She lazily made her way across the darkened landscape, and each step caused her dank socks to mingle with the wet ground, creating a squishing sound. Well there was definitly no chance of sneaking up on anyone...unless they were deaf or something. Not that she expected anyone to be around, after all, the silence of the area alone would cause people to stay away from it. Anything could be lurking around just ready to attack.
Just thinking about that little fact caused Kagome's stomach to do a few flips, then she realized it. She was scared. But despite her sudden fright and her eagerness to just stand statue still without making a sound, in fear of something would ambush her, her feet continued to linger on towards the path. Even though she was highly reluctant of her actions, she figured she might as well go throughthe path, maybe she'd actually find omeone who could help her. For some reason all the fear she had built up inside her seemed to have vanished...but she knew she was scared, she just couldn't feel it.
Making her way thorugh the path, she couldn't help but examine the things that surrounded her, there wasn't too much to look at really, except for the incredibly tall trees and obsidion shadow. Then from the corner of her eye, Kagome could see flickering lights coming from up ahead. A smile appeared across her lips.
'People!?', she could feel her step hasten as she battle against the vestige that tended to dig into the souls of her feet every now and then. The lights began to brighten, 'light, light is good', she thought with a sigh of relief.
Kagome's hand reached out before her. As if that was going to help her reach the clearing ahead. 'Great Kagome, your gonna get outta here!'
She finally came to the end of the trail at her last step one of the many lights that floated around flew across her plane of sight, causing her to close her eyes and put her arm up as a shield. As soon as the light began to fade, she lowered her arm a little and opened her eyes.
A tail?
Her gaze travelled up the long lithe form of the light in front of her and when her eyes reached the top, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Shinidamachuu.
Kagome swiftly shook her head to remove the image in ahead of her, there was no way that what she had come across was what it was. She crooked her neck in all directions but she couldn't escape them. They were the light that she was so eager to make her way to.
'But if the soul stealers are here, then that means--', Kagome froze as she laid her gaze on the sight that resided across the wooded circle. Kikyou. There was someone else with her though and then as soon as she saw the face of the form she wished that her eyes were betraying her .It was Inuyasha.
Kikyou's peircing eyes ran right through Kagome's like hot white daggers. An evil smirk found it's place on her lips and Kagome could ave sworn she heard a slight chuckle escape them. Soon enough, Inuyasha turned around to regard what his Clay Princess was looking at. When his eyes rested on Kagome he gave her an audible smirk and mischief danced around in his eyes.
'Why is he staring at me like that?', he didn't exactly seem to be happy to see her but he looked somewhat glad to see she was there none the less.
Seeing that he had the school girls undivided attention, he turned back to the dead miko, cupping the back of her head forcefully and reeling her in for an unforgetable kiss. In a matter of seconds, they were practically all over each other.
'Why is he doing this?! And why am I just standing here like an idiot wathing them?', Kagome tried to moved her feet but to no avail, they seemed to be stuck there, as if they were in a cement block and she feared that if she moved she might fall over and end up crcking her legs off. Staring at the pair again, her mind flashed back to a minute or so ago, Inuyasha had never given her a look like that before, it was evil, it was like he was trying to prove to her that she wasn't his. Tears began to swell up in her eyes, and her lips began to move 'Inu-'
Kagome made a sudden gasp. An arrow whizzed right by Kagome's face before her lips could finish mouthing her silent speech. It managed to make a deep cut on the side of her cheek and she could feel the gash begin to ooze of blood but she couldn't feel it paining in anyway. A tiny trickle of blood left the cut and mingled with a few escaped tears and following recently travelled paths af salty rivers. But no pain.
When her gaze focused once more, Kagome could see Inuyasha and Kikyou perfectly. Kikyou was still in a firing stance, the twine of the bow was still twanging back and forth from her recent shot. Inuyasha stood next to her, arms crossed and hosting a glowering smile.
Kagome's tears began to well up again. She didn't want to cry in front of them, all she wanted to do right now was crawl under a rock and die. Was Inuyasha trying to break her heart? Why was he being so cruel?
She lifted a shaky hand up to where the gash in her cheek resided and ran her finger over the wound. She couldn't even feel her hand rub against the sensitive skin. 'This must be a dream'.
The two in front of her began to laugh heartily. Probably because she was pathetic. No, this wasn't a dream, it was a nightmare. A horrible nightmare. But even if she couldn't feel any pain, even if it was a figmant of her imagination, a temporary distortion of reality, her heart hurt all the same. It felt like it was beating so fast that it was to burst out of her chest and bleed onto the damp earth.
Regaining movement, Kagome turned around and ran as fast as her legs could carry her, with tears streaming down her bloodstained face. She couldn't take that anymore, dream or not, it was harsh reality. Her sobs ringed through the forest like broken bell chimes and it seemd that no matter how fast she ran or how much she tried to block the vision out, Kagome could hear their cackling. 'Why me?!', she kept constantly asking herself. 'I was so stupid thinking he would love me! I never want to fall in love again!'
Just then at that thought, Kagome's foot got caught in an uplifted tree root as she plumeted to the ground. Her scream was cut short at the speed she had hit the ground at and turned into a choked out squeak as she felt the air file out of her lungs. But no pain. She began to sob again, why wasn't she waking up? She was getting sick of this torture, she couldn't take it anymore.
Kagome began to slam her fist against the soft earth, she didn't care if she hit anything or if anything happened to drive up through her hand. It's not like she would have felt it, so why should she care. During her wild tantrums, she was silently sreaming 'why me?'
Then Kagome heard it. Footsteps. She tensed, it was probably Inuyasha and Kikyou coming to finish then job and end her misery. But she could only hear one set of footsteps. She really didn't want to see who it was this time.
The footsteps stopped in front of her face, as she heard them, and they had come from the opposite direction of which she ran from. Kagome balanced herself on her palms and looked up at the figure. She saw nothing but the dark silhouette of a masculine apparition, and it definitely not Inuyasha. The shadow reached a hand out in front of Kagome as if to help her up. But Kagome wasn't sure if she could trust this man. Hell, she thought she could trust Inuyasha, but it seemed that he preferred Kikyou over her even in her own dreams!
Kagome's eyes looked up to where the face of the figure was, and her expression was that of a lost puppy, wanting protection and someone to confide in. She knew she was staring into the eyes of the being, even though she didn't see them, she could sense it. "It's okay Kagome. I'm here", she heard the allusive figure say. It's unseen eyes we're filled with a need to be accepted and what looked to be...love?
It couldn't be love, no one loved her anymore. Her eyes couldn't turn away from the man's invisable gaze. Kagome felt compelled to reach out for the man's hand, some voice deep in the back of her mind was telling her that he was the only one she could turn to.
With one last small cry that was choked by a sob, Kagome reached out and grasped the silhouetted hand before her. As soon as their hands touched, a bright light sprang out from all directions and Kagome felt like she was going to go blind as she shut her eyes close together.
When the light finally tamed, she slowly began to unlock her eyelids, still staring staight into the face of her 'rescuer'. His hands were rough and skilled and he grasped her hand back just as tight as her life grip on him. Slowly she began to pull herself up off the ground, her eyes never leaving the man's. His form was still roughly a shadow, which was still being caused from the bright lumination behind him. When she was halfway up off the ground, the forms colors began to mold into his figure.
Kagome's eyes widened in astonishment when she finally saw the face of the man, which was revealed but Kagome didn't have to look at the rest of the man's features to know who it was, she could tell by his eyes alone.
Deep azure blue orbs abraded straight into Kagome's own chocolate pools. She stood up to her full height in front of him and just stared staight into his unforgetable eyes.
They were no longer in the dark, dank forest but now instead standing in a vast field, full of the most beautiful flowers imaginable. The suns rays highlighted the divine, plaicid region with their warmth. And as Kagome stared at the boy in front of her, she stopped crying of heartach, that had completely left her system and now tears of mirth began to pour down her face.
With a slightly shaky, relieved breath, Kagome found her voice, "K-Kouga?"
He gave her a warm smile and his eyes were filled with happiness but heavy with sympathy. His eyes roamed over her face that was stained with tears and blood and for a quick second he hosted an aspect of disappointment. Reaching up to her face with his hands, he cupped her cheeks and wiped the tarnish away with his thumbs.
This time Kagome could actually feel the touch on her face, even though his hands were rough, they were soothing. When he took his hands away, Kagome frowned at the loss of contact, but reached up to feel the cut on her face. It was gone. And there was no traced left to show that it was ever there. Kouga smiled again and seemed to be proud of his work. "You don't have to cry anymore", then his infamous little smirk appeared on his face.
Kagome couldn't help but smile back. She finally felt safe... with Kouga. Her eyes began to glisten with euphoria, then without warning she wrapped her arms around his waist and crushed her body into his and then repeated the same thing she had earlier, "Kouga". This time though, you could hear the smile in her voice.
In exchange, the arms of Kouga embraced her back. His hand went up to pet her downy raven locks before it moved to cup her face, causing her to look once again, into his soft pools of blue. 'Why does this have to be a dream?', Kagome asked herself as she peered into his divine features. Maybe it was just the dream, but Kagome felt as though she had missed something, Kouga was there for her. He had been in front of her eyes the whole time but she failed to realize it until no. She didn't want to do something she would regret, that she would probably never be able when she awoke.
Still gazing deep into his eyes, almost getting lost, unable to hold in her feeling anymore. Kagome's eyes began to glisten and then in a quiet but audible breath she let it out, "I love you". Without a second thought or chance for him to reply, Kagome cupped his face with both hands and brought him down to met hers and their lips locked.
Kagome was relieved that he did nothing to protest and began to return it within moments. She had just told him that she loved him? It was just a dream after all right, there was no harm in letting out her true feelings. Her true feelings? Well maybe she didn't love him as such but she sure as hell liked him a whole lot. In time she would grow to love him, but right now she wasn't sure if she was really ready to fall in again love yet.
The kiss was soft, gentil and filled with emotion. His head bent slightly to get a better angle, but never breaking their connection. It felt so real and too passionate to be only a dream and she prayed that she wouldn't wake up any time soon.....
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Miroku sat quietly on the deck of the hut in his usualt position. Legs crossed, arms folded in his sleeves with his staff reasting within their confines. The only thing he wanted to do right now was just relax.
Sango had fallen asleep about an hour ago. No doubt from exhaustion from worrying about their futuristic friend. It seemed that's all she did since the small incident. Which Miroku added in, was still her fault. He had been comforting her until she had finally shut her eyes and just stayed like it.
He still figured there was no reason to worry, it wasn't that big of a deal. So Kouga went to Kagome's time, If anything had gone wrong, Kagome would have come back or Kouga would have definitely taken her back. There was no doubt in Miroku's mind that Kouga wouldn't do anything to Kagome that was at all threatening, except maybe his mouth may have gotten him in trouble, he was quite outspoken. So he suspected them to be fine, despite Sango's feeling over the situation.
Miroku sighed in exasperation and make a small shake of his head. He looked up at the dimly lit sky and admired the stars a bit, but when he gazed over to where the moon was, well, it wasn't.
"A new moon eh?",he closed his eyes, "Inuyasha's not likely to be tolerable tonight"
Miroku swung his head around the area in search of the said hanyou, but he wasn't to be seen and Miroku knew he wasn't in the hut. 'Hm, I wonder where Inuyasha could have gotten off to?", with a shrug of his shoulders, Miroku settles himself down once again and begun to survey the hinterland, "he's probably out letting off some steam", he gave one last sigh before returning his gaze to the beauty of the night sky.
Without warning, Sango drew open the curtain that had been blocking the doorway, "what are you doing out here?"
'She's awake', Miroku mentally rolled his eyes, she would probably start worrying about Kagome again, 'but at least she's attractive', "Well if you'd like, I would be happy to come back inside and keep the futon warm with you", he looked up to her at a strange angle while tilting his head back to get a glimsp of her and gave her a sly grin.
She was clearly very tired, but at that statement she narrowed her eyes in annoyance and grumbled, "pervert".
Sango was about to walk back in the hut, she really couldn't stand his sexual innuendos at the moment. But before she could, she heard him laugh lightly, "if you must know, I decided to leave you alone to rest and came out here to admire the landscape, it's quite beautiful during the night wouldn't you agree?" She looked back at him over her shoulder. She was really tired but the last thing she wanted to do right now was sleep, what if Kagome came back? Highly unlikely, she knew, but you never know.
Miroku patted the deck beside him in gesture that she come and sit down with him. Changing her mind quickly, Sango just figured, 'why not?', she walked silently over by him and sat down on the edge of the deck, making sure to keep her distance.
The girl followed the monks gaze and swept her eyes across the saturnine area. For a second she had a question but she had forgotten it in her tired state. Thinking quietly to herself, trying to remember, she drummed her fingers over the aged wood beneath her. She blinked a few times and then it finally came back to her, "hey...where's Inuyasha?"
With a small jolt of his hand, Miroku pointed up to the sky. The sky? Sango rose her head to stare into the twinkling abyss to see where he aimed at, half expecting to see Inuyasha fluttering around the sky like an angel or something. That was highly unlikely, 'Inuyasha. An angel. Pweesch!', shw scoffed in her mind. Her eyes roamed across the sky, "where are you pointing-", Sango's gaze fell on the thin outline of the new moon, "ohhhh", she breathed finally in realization.
"Yup", was Miroku's intelligent response.
"To bad he's gone off to sulk, he's actually pretty handsome as a human", she sighed in a disappointed tone.
The monks eyes widened in astonishment at her remark, but the rest of his face screwed up into a goofy look.
Sango looked over to regard the older boy beside her and simply said, "just kidding", when his face toned down, she suddenly bust out laughing. "You-haha-should have-seen-seen your face then!", then continued her taunting with the occasional finger point at the monk.
Miroku sweat dropped and gave her a deadpan stare. He brought his hand up to his left breast, over his heart and sighed, "is teasing this poor, humble monk really so amusing?"
Sango finished her chuckling and was about to let out a quiet cheerful 'uh huh!', but that was interrupted by a huge bellow coming from the forest.
It was quite a colorful word too.
They both stared in the direction of the sound. Sango raised an eyebrow, examining their surroundings quickly one final time, "monk?"
"Hmm?"
"Where are the wolves?", her tone became a bit darker.
"I couldn't tell you my dear Sango, why?"
The slayer's eyebrow began to twitch slightly in irritation to his helpful answers.
Miroku's eyes widened once again as he caught on to her idea of what had happened, "you don't think...?"
Sango made a deep scoff to show her anger, "I wouldn't doubt it!"
After Sango quickly ran back into the hut to retrieve Hiraikotsu, the couple dashed into the forest in search for their hanyou turned human before things got out of hand.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Inuyasha was sitting in a tree, his usual place to hang around and grumble whenever he began to irritate the humans with his complaining. He would have stayed there too, just in spite of them, but tonight the last place he wanted to be was among the humans. Tonight was the night of the full moon, soon enough he would turn human. Not to mention it was his most vulnerable night and even though it was safer to be among the others, he hated for them to see him at his weakest level.
Slowly his transformation began. His white hair denoted to obsidion black at the same time his ears moved down to the side of his head, making him appear more human. His claws shrunk down to mere nails as he looked down to regard them. And finally the eyes that were once a molten gold, faded down to a rich dark violet. It wasn't a painful process, just annoying.
Inuyasha narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked up the the thin outline of what was once the moon and stuck his hands up his sleeves, "I hate the time of the month!", he grumbled under his breath. His senses were practically useless to him now, he would have no way of knowing if anything were sneaking up on him, even though he figured there probably wasn't anything around for miles, save the rest of his entourage. So he decided to just stay in the tree and wait it out till morning , then when the sun's rays hit him once again, he would transfer into his more perferable state.
Of course, this way of thinking defied Inuyasha. For he failed to notice the small creature making it's way up the side of the tree that he was residing.
"Hey Inuyasha!", the small kitsune blurted out into the hanyou's ear.
Inuyasha just about fell out of the tree at the sudden surprise, "Shippou, ya brat! What the hell are you doin here! Shouldn't you be in bed or something?!"
"Touchy. Touchy", Shippou clucked his tounge as he made his way up to rest on Inuyasha's shoulder, "Sango and Miroku were getting too boring to watch, so I decided to come visit you, besides I'm not tired"
"Oh, how thoughtful of you", Inuyasha grimaced, his voice dripping with sarcasim. He batted his hand up to his shoulder in attempt to hit the kit off, but failed.
"No problem", Shippou chirped as he dodged out of the way of Inuyasha's hand, then stuck his tounge out at the older boy, "haha, ya missed!", then putting on a more concerned face, "Inuyasha, what's got you in such a grouchy mood...well...grouchier than usual that is?"
"Can't ya see for yourself, brat?", Inuyasha snapped.
"Hey!", Shippou wasn't amused with his little nick name there, "I was just wondering, you didn't have to bite my head off or anything! So your human, you don't have to be so moody, after all, you'll be a half-demon again in the morning"
"Feh!", was Inuyasha's intelligent reply.
"Ugh! I hate being stuck with you, I hope Kagome comes back soon!", Shippou cried.
"You'd better hope she comes back soon. I gave her four days and tomorrow's the fourh. If she doesn't get her ass back here tomorrow, I won't hold back on you anymore!", Inuyasha snarled, then the realization of that fact hit.
Shippou went bug-eyed, "You can't do that, Kagome won't let you!"
"She won't be here, twerp!", Inuyasha shouted as they were now nose to nose.
"Oi! Shippou, did you just say Kagome will be back tomorrow?", a voice came from below, it was Hakkaku, with of course Ginta was standing close beside him.
"That means Kouga will be back too right!?", Ginta chirped in.
Inuyasha's gaze went down to the wolves on the forest floor. His eyebrow and the corner of his mouth began to twitch involuntarily and the mention of that name, "W-wha?"
Shippou's eyes just about popped out of his little head, "yout Fungus Heads! You weren't supposed to mention anything about Kouga going through the well with Kagome in front of Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha's eye twitched a bit more, "what did you just say?!", he ground out through his teeth, which were clenched together so tight it's a surprise they didn't shatter.
"What are you talking about? Inuyasha's not here", Hakkaku blurted, "Hey, whose the guy?"
Ginta tilted his head slowly to his friend and whispered through his teeth, "didn't Kouga tell us one time that Inuyasha turnes human sometimes?"
The other wolf's eyes bulged, "uh oh", was all he said.
Inuyasha, now practically seething with anger, his eyes probably would have been crimson if it weren't for his human state at the time, but never the less, he was definitely seeing red.
"No Inuyasha, you don't understand it was an accident, Kagome just didn't bring him back is all!", Shippou realized he wasn't making it any better, "But they're coming back tomorrow like you said remember and then everything will be back to normal!"
"FUCK!", Inuyasha bellowed, "you little shit! How could you keep that from me!?", without remembering he was human, Inuyasha jumped down from his perch, landing with a tumble and letting out an angry, "Dammit!"
After he quickly got himself up on his feet, Inuyasha made a dash through the trees down a well beaten path towards the Bone Eater's Well. Human or not he was going to go through the well and kill the wolf that was with his Kagome. He was panting hard from his fast pace but that did nothing to faulter his intentions. The wolf had been with Kagome for the past three days and he didn't even think that to be a possibility! He knew the humans were hiding something from him...and the fox! They would get theirs, but the wolves...would die first!
"Oh no!", Shippou squealed, "Inuyasha'a gonna go through the well and yell at Kagome! And it's all because of you two dumbums!"
"Hey, don't blame us! We didn't come out and actually say that Kouga left with her!", Hakkaku defended.
Shippou narrowed his little eyebrows and began to hit himslef over the head, racking his tiny little brain to think about what to do, "we have to go tell Sango and Miroku!"
The small party of three began to run towards the direction of the hut, hoping to get there before Inuyasha got to the well. Even if he was human at the moment, Inuyasha was still fairly fast.
Inuyasha continued to run through the forest, the adrenaline rush he was getting at the moment wasn't going to ware out any time soon. Maybe he would twist off thw wolf's head. He couldn't decide which path of death to choose. And he was certainly going to give Kagome a piece of his mind!
Kagome.
'If it was an accident, why didn't she bring him back? Hell, how'd he even get through the well!', Inuyasha finally began to find his thoughts, 'no matter, soon he'll be dead and I won't have to worry about him anymore!', he smirked to himself at the image of the wolf lying dead on the ground. Dead by his hands.
The well was now in sight. He sped up, nothing was stopping him now. Looking back up to the opening to the clearing, he saw a tiny shimmer of gold, "What the fu-"
WHAM!
Sango and Miroku stood over looking down at Inuyasha's unconscious corpse.
"Looks like that staff of yours is useful after all", Sango smiled.
"Yes, well Inuyasha may be half-demon but in his human state, his body reacts the same way to a nice blow to the head", Miroku chirped in an overly proud tone.
"Let's get him back to hut before he wakes up and tries to strangle us"
"I concure my dear Sango, and we'll tie him up and gag him while we're at it", he said with a bright smile.
*****
Miroku woke up hours later to the sun shining into his eyes. He looked over to the corner of the hut, where they had stashed Inuyasha earlier that morning. The only remnants of Inuyasha's presence was a ripped-apart rope and a piece of cloth that was stuffed in his mouth.
Inuyasha was gone.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Kouga lay still for a slight second after he heard his name escape Kagome's lips. Was she dreaming of him? And if she was, was it a good dream? He leaned down a little closer in attempt to hear something that he missed. Nothing.
He rose his head again and wore a small frown od disappointment. He really wanted to know what was going on in that pretty little head of hers. As if to answer his question, the sleeping girl laced her hands behind his and brought her head up to kiss him. It caught Kouga completely off guard but that didn't stop him from returning the kiss.
Kagome began to pen her eye to stare into the eyes of her avior again, but this time their surroundings were once again dark, but they weren't in the forest....she was in her room! Kissing Kouga! She was still kissing the boy who was still oblivious to her being awake. This was actually happening. Kagome gasped at the realiztion, which gave Kouga the chance to deepen the kiss, slowly dipping his tounge in to taste her sweet depth.
Getting lost in his tounge's blissful carress, Kagome closed her eyes once again and slid her tounge out to meet his own as they both began the battle for dominance. When she did this, Kouga let out an appreciative growl from deep within his throat, as his hand traced down her side with one clawed finger, and rested on her hip; causing a shudder through Kagome's body.
After about a minute or so, their liplock was broken and Kagome laid her head back on the pillow, both heavily panting for air. 'I just kissed Kouga. Forced myself on him even. And...I liked it...a lot', Kagome blushed at her sudden thought, staring up at the ceiling, afraid of what she might see if she looked to her left. She couldn't help herself, she had to look. Her eyes were intently on her and she turned an even brighter red and then she let out a very quiet, "sorry".
Kouga just smirked at her modesty, "no need to apologize, Kagome", replying with a seductive tone on her name. He began to scayth tiny circles on her hip with his nail. Her body tensed after the small jump that reacted to his touch. Kouga audibly grinned at the effect to his taction.
Shw wasn't shying away or anything. She wanted to, wait, no she didn't. Kagome just remembered that moment a second ago, the mix of his touch and his kiss, it felt so good. She wanted more.
Closing her eyes, she swallowed the rock in her throat. One more little kiss couldn't hurt, could it? She opened her eyes again and gazed straight into Kouga's. She was still blushing.
"I thought to said that was never gonna happen again?", Kouga smirked.
Kagome thought for a minute, she did say that, but she didn't want to go by it anymore, her body had too good of a reaction to Kouga. "Did I say that?", she leaned a little closer to Kouga and her slowly nodded his head as he watched her lips move closer, "well I don't remember saying that, and if I can't remember it, there's a pretty good chance that it never happened", Kouga was about to make a smart protesting comment but she hushed him and placed her finger in his lips, "ah ah, I'm always right, remember". Kagome couldn't help but think about how corney that sounded.
Kagome leaned in faster and crushed her lips against Kouga's. This time, she was the first one to transfer her tounge into his mouth and began to flick it against on of his shrape canines. And they were both very pleased at their reaction rates as their tounges were warring for eminent domain.
At this point there was very little that Kouga could deny his demon instints. He climbed fully on top of her poistioning himself between her legs and she shifted to make herself more comfortable underneath him. He began to nibble on her bottom lip as his hand slowly sneaked it's way under her shirt and up her torso the cup one of her breasts. Kagome gasped at the foreign touch, breaking the kiss and throwing her head back on the pillow and arching her back.
The heat pooling in her stomach from the night before was returning, more forceful this time. Kagome bit her lip to surpress a moan, she had never done something like this before and she didn't want to let out any embarrassing noises. Was it possible for his body to be any closer to her own? She choked another moan.
Kouga trailed hot kisses over to her ear and nibbled on the lobes then massaged the small the wounded skin. He made sure to pay close attention to the soft mound incased in his grasp. Her surpressed moans were driving him crazy, he wanted to hear her moan, loudly. He began to tweak the hardened nub between his thumb and index finger, teasing it, then moved other to the other to do the same. Kagome finally let out a pleasure filled groan. Kouga gasped when she unconsciously ground up against him. She moaned again at the sudden sensation that travelled up her spine. They both took this moment to catch their breaths.
Kouga smiled down at her as he began to grind up against her now, letting her fully feel his throbbing erection. Kagome's eyes closed and she began to elict small moans as Kouga continued to grind against her core. He began to kiss down her neck, stopping at her pulse point to nip and suck at the sensitive skin and to his pleasure, she moans louder this time.
Kagome is now meeting Kouga's thrusts as they are both, to put it bluntly, dry humping. They are both now building up and their urgency has increased their pace. Kouga's hands roam her body until one comes to rest on her hip, leaving the other to knead her breast through the thin material of her shirt. Kagome kept one arm around his neck to keep him close and the other travelled around his back, digging in every now and then at sudden sensations. Their moans are now increasing in volume, Kouga takes her mouth in his own so they don't arise any of the occupants in the house, it was almost six in the morning, the sun was beginning to seep through the windows, and the slightest noise could probably wake them up.
They were both so close, Kouga could feel himslef on the verge of climax and even Kagome was having trouble with the painful need for release.
Just then Kouga roughly broke the kiss and abruptly stopped his ministrations down below as he began to let out a not to pleased growl.
At first, Kagome whimpered at the sudden loss, but then she opened her eyes and saw Kouga's angery eyes shifting around the room, "Kouga, what's wrong?", she managed to ask between pants.
"I smell dog"
Kagome's window flew open........

I FINALLY finished typing it! That took forever!
Okay, so there was chapter 14 did I leave a cliffy? Now I didn't say in the last chapter that there was going to be a 'lemon', just worth R- rating. I hope you enjoyed the limey content. I don't know if it was very good or not, it was my first time attempting to write anything like that. So it would be nice to know what you think and constructive criticism would be nice if you have any. Along with what you thought of the whole chapter! ^-^, or just review so I can be sure I didn't lose any reader's during my two weeks of inactive posting -_- I'm so ashamed.
Miroku: Well say goodbye to us!
Sango: You seem pretty excited to be stuffed into the closet
Miroku: Why shouldn't I be, I'll be in there with two beautiful women.
Sango and Kagome: Pervert!
Inuyasha: Not to mention with me and Sesshoumaru
Kouga: And me!
*all growl at Miroku*
Ashley: Okay, all of you, IN! *stuffs them in the closet*
Sesshoumaru: Monk, don't dare touch me there again if you value your life
Miroku:UGH! Whoops, sorry Sesshoumaru.
Ashley: 0_o........*throws shippou in the hamper*
Shippou: *pouts*
