A/n: Hello all! I would have updated last night at like 1 AM but I couldn't get onto , so I had to update as soon as I got up. I may update this afternoon, I'm not sure. If I don't, I won't be able to update until like Saturday evening. ::dodges tomatoes and other various fruits:: I'm sorry! I'm going to a friends for the weekend and won't be able to update. (She's not an anime fan anymore :[...) But! I promise you two chapters to make up for it, deal? I wish I could stay and update too, b/c I'm hooked on writing this thanks to ya'll!
Another thing I'd like to say is to szmadad:
First off, I totally saw your point and very much agree with you. No, I did not take your review personally in any way. I totally loved it that you responded that way! Secondly, the reason why I implied that Kikyo and Inuyasha had become intimate was that I didn't want Inuyasha to be some clumsy virgin or anything like that. Like I said above, I totally agree with you that Kikyo would most likely never do such a thing with Inuyasha or at least she didn't have enough time to do so. (I too, do not like the idea of them being together in such a way, but that's a totally different subject for a different time). It's just that if Inuyasha had never been intimate with someone before, then he wouldn't know the signs to proceed. It just seemed that it would make more sense if Inuyasha had already been through this once, thus explaining why he'd be so confused when Kagome abruptly rejected him. I hope this explains a little, any more questions or comments, feel free to ask away! :P
Now, on to the story...
Undiscovered
Chapter Four: Steamy Rain
-::-::-::-
Was she actually apologizing to him?
And...
Was she actually holding him?
He slowly looked down with wide eyes, unable to move. Yes, there was no doubt that she was holding him. Her grip was terribly tight and he never knew the little human could muster such strength. His sensitive ears picked up every little sob as her body shook with each emotional tremor. Her eyes were tightly shut as her small knuckles grew white from her death grip upon him.
He slowly brought his arms up and hugged back, bowing his head upon her own.
Kagome let out a relieved laugh as he embraced her so tightly, one of his hands subconciously playing with her hair. "I'm sorry," she whispered once more, her eyes still closed as tears continued to stream down her pale face. Inuyasha hugged her even tighter. "What are you so sorry for?" he asked quietly. His tone was so soft, so kind. Kagome couldn't stand it.
She looked up and grinned. "Sorry for not...not making love to you...Isn't that why you're made at me?"
Inuyasha frowned, the rain long forgotten by the two, even as lightning struck in the nearest field. He shook his head and let out a small laugh. "No, I wanted to, to mark you as my mate Kagome."
'His...mate? Well it still doesn't make sense.'
Kagome's eyes searched his for a meaning to his statement. Her hands were still holding him tightly, not allowing him to run from her ever again. It wasn't as if he would if he could anyways, his grip upon her was just as strong if not more. "I don't understand," she whispered finally, blinking away the on-slaught of rain.
'She doesn't understand? Isn't that why she pushed me away?'
It was now Inuyasha's turn to frown and become confused. "Kagome, why did you tell me to stop yesterday?" he asked with every once of bravery. Kagome was always the one person he could talk to, the one he knew would insure calmness and serenity. How come he was so afraid to speak with her now?
Kagome looked away a moment, ashamed of herself. 'This is it. He's going to see me for the little girl that I am...but I'm not. I want to now, don't I?' Inuyasha softly took her chin and tilted it so she would stare him in the eye. 'He's being so gentle...like he really means this. It's real, Kagome. This is it.'
Kagome bit her lower lip as she gathered her thoughts. "I didn't think was I ready to give myself to you...I didn't think I'd measure up to your standards." Kagome closed her eyes in embarassment. 'Now he's going to tease me about it. He's going to regret ever considering doing something with me.'
But he didn't.
Instead, he smiled gently. It wasn't a smile of sarcasm or mischief. It was one that said, 'You sweet, silly, but sweet thing.' Kagome opened her eyes as he grew quiet and only grew even more confused. She wasn't displeased by the smile in the least bit, she loved it. He looked so much gentler with it upon his face. "Inuyasha?"
He bowed down and kissed her softly. Kagome immediately leaned into him, sighing softly against him. The two stood there for quite some time, holding onto the sweet and simple kiss. Neither could really think, but it wasn't like they needed to.
Kagome moved her arms from clinging to Inuyasha's mid section to wrap around his neck and softly intertwined her fingers within his soaked hair.
Inuyasha softly groaned against her lips as she deepened it, pressing up against him. If she were any closer to him, she'd be inside him. 'I'm so ready for this!' She grinned against his lips, giving them one final sweet peck before leaning back to look at him. "Kagome," he whispered, his arms never leaving her sides.
'So this is what it's like to be in love and have it returned?'
She couldn't describe the way she felt at this moment. Everything about it was perfect and every little second she'd suffered in the past hours was totally worth it. "Inu-" but she was cut off as he kissed her once more, hungrily searching her soul in the only way he knew.
Kagome was caught off guard only a second before she reacted, pulling him by his neck to kiss her further. It was like fireworks when their lips touched. That same electric current ran through them both and ignited their senses. This was far more moving then any kiss either had recieved, and when they finally backed away for some much needed air, neither could speak.
Kagome could only pant as she eyed him seductively. She wanted him now more than anything. She'd never needed him so badly than she did now. It was all she wanted and did not care otherwise. Her body was burning from the inside out, screaming at her to take him.
Inuyasha's thoughts were practically mirroring her, just a bit more erotic and needy. His hands slid up to her own and smirked. This was another expression she'd never seen of the half demon.
It was very sexy and cocky at the same time. If she could anymore, she'd have melted bellow his possessive eyes. That single fang sneaking out from the corner of his smirk wasn't helping any either. She could only give him a shy smile and bow her consent.
"Inuyasha!"
The two visibly jumped at the hoarse yell. They turned with guilty looks and bright blushes upon their faces to find Kaede, Miroku and Sango standing in the doorway, all scowling. Shippo soon joined them, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Inuyasha's guilty grin faded into one of frustration. Just when things were finally looking up they finally decide to get involved. 'Perfect timing.'
"You two are going to catch a death of a cold out there!" called out Sango. Miroku only nodded his agreement. Kagome looked back to Inuyasha and sighed. 'We can't just run off and leave them.'
She took his hand within her own and led him to them. "I'm sure your pretty cold?" she asked quietly. Inuyasha smirked. "Not really." He accented this by lightly squeezing her hand in a final plea to take off into the woods. Kagome only shook her head with a soft smile.
"Well get in here, I'll make ye some tea," ordered Kaede.
The two rather aroused and heated lovers (the older of the two thoroughly pissed) headed back inside. Once inside they realized how terribly cold it was outside. They crouched upon the floor with the others, sipping an herbal tea as Kaede fed Shippo a late night snack.
"Will ye be needing anything else?" asked Kaede, sleep crossing her features. Miroku smirked. "A cold bath for Inuyasha, perhaps?"
Inuyasha turned a deep crimson as Kagome and Sango giggled from behind their cups. "Shut it, monk!" he growled dangerously as Miroku continued to smirk in triumph.
Shippo frowned as he dropped from Kaede's arms. "Why? He just came inside from the rain?" The three, excluding Inuyasha, all laughed at the poor fox's naivity. "It's one of the many things I'll explain to you in time, Shippo," smiled Miroku. The small fox, quite confused and bored with them, soon found his bed beside Kagome and fell asleep.
It was then that Kagome let out a quick sneeze. Sango frowned as Kaede gave out a small sigh. "I knew ye would be sick after standing in the rain. Here, drink this." She handed Kagome another cup of tea and headed to her own room. "G'night, Kaede," called out Kagome before sneezing again. Sango lifted a cover and placed it over Kagome's shoulders. "Looks like we may have to stay here another day."
Kagome shook her head, sipping her tea. "No, I'll be fine. Just a little dust or something, that's all!" Miroku 'uh huhhed' as he grinned to Inuyasha. The half demon only glared in embarassment. He had thought that Kagome would be more embarassed about this, but alas, the damn perverted monk had decided to tease Inuyasha instead.
-::-::-::-
It was late, nearly three in the morning and the thunder had not calmed at all. The lightning and howling winds were also still at play. The storm had cooled the area but still sent a chill throughout the entire village. The village's sleeping inhabitants hugged their covers tightly with every shiver...but not everyone was asleep at this late hour...
Kagome opened her eyes slowly to find Inuyasha sitting in the corner of the room, staring at the wall. The rain was still falling outside and whether she admit it or not, her nose was totally clogged and her head was killing her. 'It was definitely worth it.' She grinned at the half demon, wondering if she should say something or just admire him privately.
The others had long since dozed off, and Kagome had just about drifted off into sleep when her body awoke her. It was calling out to Inuyasha, begging for his touch once more.
As if the bond between them could speak, he abruptly turned to her and met her eyes. The same, lustrous desire was within his eyes.
Kagome slowly rose and leaned back on her palms. Inuyasha watched her with careful eyes. He hadn't moved since they'd noticed one another, but he didn't need to. The dark sheen across his eyes told Kagome everything she was feeling was probably magnified at least ten times within him.
"Aaaachoo!"
Kagome sniffled slightly and looked to Inuyasha. The two smiled softly. 'It's just a cold, just a stupid little cold.' Kagome was about to get up when Sango looked up and smiled. "Where do you think you're going?" she asked quietly. Kagome looked over to Inuyasha then back to Sango. She figured her friend would understand and allow her to go to her lover.
That was not the case.
"Inuyasha!" snapped Sango. Miroku awoke with a soft grunt. He looked up to find Kagome half squatting, half standing with Inuyasha looking totally disgruntled. "You need to leave her alone! She's got a cold and this is no time to...to," but she couldn't finish.
"To what?" teased Miroku, eyeing her anxiously. Sango glared at him. "Go back to sleep, Miroku," she ordered sternly. Kagome looked at Miroku who was flinching as he readied himself for a quick slap from Sango.
"Sango, I was just going to use the bathroom. Inuyasha just happened to be awake, that's all." Sango grinned, quickly forgetting about Miroku. "Well I probably need to use it too. C'mon." Inuyasha glared at the back of Sango's head as she ushered Kagome out to the bathroom. What was her problem?! Miroku only laughed softly.
"What are you laughing at?" snapped Inuyasha. His body was far too frustrated to care about etiquette or manners. He was so close to fulfilling this burning within him and the only thing that stood in the way was Sango, plus the monk wasn't helping him any.
Miroku shook his head. "Patience is a virtue, Inuyasha." He ignored the irritated snarl from the half demon and settled back in his covers. Inuyasha glared at the back of Miroku's head for quite some time before looking up as the girls re-entered.
The rain had sprinkled them lightly and Inuyasha couldn't help but ravage Kagome with his eyes. She looked so sexy when she was wet. He couldn't imagine what she looked like...
"Inuyasha!"
He looked up to meet a glare from his eye candy. "Turning into Miroku are we?" she teased playfully before settling back into her covers. The half demon watched the little minx as she readjusted herself under the covers. Sango was finally silent for the remainder of the night but sadly, so was Kagome.
'Don't tell me she fell asleep.'
But she had. He could tell by the way her breathing slowed, the way her face became so relaxed and angelic. He wanted nothing more than to cross the room and hold her tight. It was such a cold tonight.
He looked outside and gave out a small sigh. The rain looked like there were no chances of it stopping and the night was to only get cooler, so why not make himself warm? His eyes searched the slumbering trio and decided that they were finally asleep. With pure silence, he crossed the room and lowered himself beside Kagome.
She awoke instantly, her eyes flashing upon him. She blushed and even in the dim light, Inuyasha could see it. She was glowing in his eyes, her pure innocence radiating amongst the dark room. "Inuyasha," she smiled, placing her hands upon his chest as she softly leaned forward to kiss him. Inuyasha kissed back with a fierce need, his instincts kicking into high gear. The wind outside began to roar bitterly, and hid Kagome as she let out a small whimper from the exotic kiss.
"We can't," she panted, her eyes hazy with lust. "Not with everyone around, Inuyasha!"
He scowled, glaring at them as if it were their fault there wasn't any more space to sleep. "Then what do you propose we do?" he snapped. Kagome didn't hear his words, she was too busy playing.
She couldn't believe how heated his skin was as she slowly carressed his chest through his thick clothing. She only did this as if memorizing his every nick and scar. She had no clue how incredibly erotic it was to Inuyasha.
When she stopped to go back to sleep, he shook his head. "Don't stop." Kagome smirked at this sudden rush of control. She liked the look in his eyes as she pleased him. And to think that just stroking his chest could do this? What would he be like when she stroked other areas? Her blush only deepen.
She slowly ran her hands up his chest to his ears, which she slowly rubbed, amazed at their velvet softness. His eyes began to drift close as he let out a small growl, his hand, which had come to rest upon her hip, gripped her tightly. "Kagome," he whispered.
"Aaachoo!"
The half demon blinked back as she turned back to face him with an apologetic smile. He continued to stare at her as her smile faded into a glare. "I didn't sneeze on you, Inuyasha! Stop looking at me like that!"
"Would you two please go to sleep?" grumbled Miroku from underneath his covers.
The two looked at one another and as Inuyasha was about to bark some insult to the monk, Kagome kissed him. It was a gentle, modest kiss that told him to stop. He couldn't complain. This was much more easier than her screaming, 'Sit boy!'
He watched her curl against his chest and nuzzle against him sweetly. "G'night Inuyasha," she whispered. He frowned. "What?!" he exclaimed, totally confused. They were just starting to get close again, and now she was going to sleep just because the monk had told them to go to sleep?
Kagome giggled gently as she wrapped an arm around his side, pulling him ever closer. "Just go to sleep, Inuyasha," she grinned, never opening her eyes. Inuyasha let out a heated puff of air before closing his eyes obediently, swallowing back his desires for just a bit longer.
It was definitely going to be a long, hard night....

A/n: Hee hee, excuse the mini pun there at the end. ;P Anyways, what did you think? No, this is most definitely not the end, just another lil roadblock. Poor Inuyasha, I am cruel to him...hee hee. I can assure ya'll that in either the next or one after next chapter, there will be a lemon! I promise. Hope you liked this chapter, it was a little less insightful and more, I dunno, interaction with everyone else I guess you could say...something like that, :P

I can assure ya'll that in either the next or one after next chapter, there will be a lemon! I promise. Hope you liked this chapter, it was a little less insightful and more, I dunno, interaction with everyone else I guess you could say...something like that, :P
