Kagome snuggled yet closer to InuYasha, his immense calm and the comforting warmth of his arms letting her relax. She grew bolder and bolder. Watching him, she saw him cautiously eyeing her. Every few minutes he would glance over and roam her body with his eyes. Then he would see her watching him and blush ten shades of red. This repeated five times, and the fifth time he looked away, she reached up and took hold of a crazily twitching doggie ear.
"InuYasha..." Kagome whispered his name softly.
He looked at her, and in her face, he saw nothing of fear. Her eyes danced with lusty flames, her tongue gently but arousingly protruding from her mouth. She rose to her knees and kissed him passionately. InuYasha quivered and laid back, Kagome pushing him down the rest of the way and crawling up his body to kiss him again. He growled, his claws digging into the earth as her breasts tumbled almost completely from her blouse, brushing against his neck. At his deep-throated growls, she sat back, her final seat resting directly between his legs.
InuYasha gasped as she fondled him through his haori, coming to realize that only that and the thin fabric of her underwear kept him from being... He swallowed, now trembling violently. He surprised even himself as he tore away her shirt and bra. His mouth fell open in awe of her beautifully sculpted ivory body.
"Aw – Kagome...."
She was swiftly freeing him of his kimono and shirt. She flung them aside, running her hands along his chest as she surveyed his lean, muscular structure. She purred and ran her nails across him, bringing shuddering breaths from the hanyou beneath her.
"InuYashaa..." She breathed his name as she lay on him, her hot breath on his collarbone drawing forth a short moan. He stared up at her, a snarl playing on his mouth. She let loose a small shriek as he suddenly lifted and laid her over on her shirt, then plucked off her skirt. He laid a hand to her and petted softly.
Kagome whimpered, and rose to a low moan when he laid his mouth to her. InuYasha drug his tongue from just above her navel to her breast, stopping to forcefully kiss the nipple. Kagome scratched across his back as he moved on. At the top of her breast, he stopped, locking eyes with her for a moment before biting down. Kagome cried out in an intense mixture of pain and pleasure as his fangs pierced her flesh. She felt the warm blood flowing freely and running down and off of her body. InuYasha kissed her, the taste of her blood strong on his lips. She pulled away, and pushed him back onto the ground, sitting on him. Hastily she went at the fastening of his haori, while he laid back and watched her.
'Damn...' thought he. 'I don't think I can do this much longer...'
"Kagome!? Kagome?" Sango and Miroku's voices rang through the forest.
They were near... very near. InuYasha stood quickly, throwing his kimono and shirt over Kagome's shoulders. He pulled her close, and leapt into the tree, and, once settled, kissed her. Kagome kissed him back, never noticing the soft glimmer of crimson that went across his eyes.

"Kagome?" Sango called when they reached the sacred tree. "Kagome!?"
Miroku sighed. "They aren't here. We've been out in this forest for an hour. InuYasha wouldn't silence her from answering."
Sango nodded, then noticed Kagome's torn and bloody shirt. "Oh my gods!" She picked it up and examined it. "Yes, this is Kagome's! Look at all the blood!"
Miroku's eyes grew wide. "Should we go back and tell the old one before we go?"
Sango shook her head. "She either isn't with InuYasha, or he's fighting for her as we speak, or – or" Her voice suddenly trailed off. "Or he changed again..."
"But why? If they were – I do not think he would – oh my, I hope he hasn't devoured her... but if he transformed..."
"Oh, Miroku! Is there any hope? I don't think this is InuYasha's doing – why would he turn into a full demon when he was out here with Kagome?"
The boy bowed his head. "Well, I believe he would change in periods of, high emotional and, or, physical stress. It happens when he is about to die, and, well, if I do say so myself, that's about the same amount of stress as..." He blinked. "Just in a different area."
"But I don't think Kagome would do that, especially not with the way he treats her!"
Miroku smiled wryly. "You honestly do not observe them, do you?"
Sango smirked. "I don't watch others to see if I can catch any action."
Miroku blushed. "I do not watch to see if anything happens I might be... interested... in! I simply enjoy watching their romance unfold."
"What romance?"
"If you would watch them, you would know. InuYasha and Kagome love each other. They squabble and argue around us, but have you honestly not caught the fond glances? How InuYasha, when carrying Kagome, squeezes her closer to him than really necessary? And how she openly cuddles herself closer to him as he does so? The worry evident on Kagome's face when InuYasha battles?"
Sango blinked. "Do you think she would make love to him though?"
Miroku chuckled. "Kagome is not as innocent as she looks, and InuYasha, well, let me just say he's followed to watch her bathe more than once... and you should watch her check out his wounds. He's half, demon, he doesn't need any sort of medical care, but they both insist. I've seen them close, but I've not seen them do that yet. But, I have no doubt that's what they have been up to."
The slayer nodded. "I see." A dangerous look crossed her face. "Wait a minute – how do you know he watches her bathe!?"
Miroku put his hands up. "Shippo told me!!"
"Hmm. Well, what should we do? Look for Kagome?"
"I suppose so, but I doubt we will find her."
"Maybe we should go back to the hut and wait. We don't have Kirara, and, it would take forever to find her on foot, if she is findable."
Miroku nodded. "I think InuYasha is either with or fighting for her, and he is himself. He has the Tetsusaiga, and he usually can restrain himself in her presence."
"So, we are going back?"
"Yes... but bring her shirt. But do not tell Kaede under any means. It will worry her, and she doesn't need to worry."
"Okay then."

Cuddled in InuYasha's lap, Kagome let out a small whimper as the hanyou softly kissed her neck, then moved on to her bare shoulders, and trailed his lips down her back. His strong arms around her stomach, hugging her to him, gave her security, but the situation was terrifying. Here she was, sitting naked in his lap, his bare arms and chest rubbing irresistibly on her own exposed body.
She wanted him more than anything, and she knew he could smell her, and from the way he touched her, she could tell he craved her too. The final thing that jolted her was the pulsing mountain she rested on. Every shift of her body seemed torment him, and he had taken to gently pressing her down on him. She was simply petrified near to tears.
Suddenly, InuYasha, with a small growl, laid her onto his kimono. She gripped the tree branch until she realized it was wide enough for her to relax on. Allowing her body to go slack, she looked up at him, and her eyes went wide with fear. He stood nude before her, every muscle in his lean body quivering. She looked into his excitement-filled eyes, and let her eyes wander down him, over his lovely torso, and further down. She gasped, at first amazed, and then the tears came. InuYasha blinked.
"Kagome?" She answered him with a sob.
"Kagome – what's wrong? I thought you – wanted...um..."
She nodded in agreement, but still she trembled. "I do, InuYasha, I do, I just... I'm afraid... I mean, look at you..."
InuYasha's brow wrinkled. "Well, what about me?"
The girl sighed. "Like I said, your intimidating... and that's when you're dressed..." Her eyes trailed down him again.
He blinked. "Oh. Well, I'll stop if you want to..."
Kagome shook her head, drying her face. "I don't want to stop... just...be easy with me please..."
InuYasha looked into her eyes. "Kagome I would never hurt you. You know that don't you?" He hugged her. "Not even if it killed me not to."
She snuggled close to him. "InuYasha I trust you. More than I've ever trusted anybody."
The hanyou smiled. "Really?"
"Really. I mean it."
She laid her head on his chest, and saw his withering erection.
"InuYasha..." She sighed
"Yeah?"
"I'm... I'm sorry."
"For what?"
Kagome silently snuggled closer to him, and he waited a few minutes before he spoke again.
"Kagome, what are you sorry for?"
Suddenly, something took a firm hold of him. He leapt up suddenly, and a dead stick that clung forlornly to a branch of the Sacred Tree stabbed into him just below his shoulder.
"DAMN!"
He plucked out the stick and flung it to the ground, looking down to check if everything was in order.
"Are you hurt?" He kneeled down in front of Kagome, taking hold of her shoulders.
"Um... no. Oh gosh are you bleeding? I'm sorry I didn't know you would jump like that!"
She went to wipe away the blood that ran freely from his wound, but he took hold of her hand.
"That was you?"
Kagome grinned guiltily.
"Gods! I can't stand this!" He smiled, flabbergasted. "First you want it slow or not at all and then you... ah!" He shook his head. "You are unlike any other. And...well, I'm assuming that you're ready now?"
The girl nodded. "Just...please be careful..."
InuYasha let himself down atop her and kissed her lips, and she squeezed her eyes tightly shut. He softly whispered into her ear.
"Would it be easier if you had control?"
She slowly shook her head.
"No... just... please...hurry but be easy about it!"
He kissed her again as he wrapped one arm about her, the hand of his other arm splayed upon the branch to support his weight. He drew her shuddering chest up to him, holding her close as he slowly penetrated her. Kagome drew in a sharp breath, looking into the eyes of the hanyou above her.
"Kagome." His eyes shone with gentleness as she accepted the loss of her innocence.
"InuYasha..." She pulled him closer.
He kissed her again, tracing his fingers along her back and side as he began making love to her. They were silent for the longest time, the only sounds being the movement of their bodies, and the soft sighs of the night breeze and of them.
Suddenly Kagome slipped, but InuYasha caught her by the arms. Blood again rushed from the bite marks on her breast as the skin stretched, and the blood from InuYasha's wound rained down into it. Kagome bit her lip, looking down at it as InuYasha pulled her back up.
'Why is it burning like that?' Thought she.
"Are you okay?" InuYasha held her close.
"Yeah...I'm fine... are you?"
"Yeah."
Kagome looked at him. "It was about time for a position change anyway... you still ready to go?"
"Yeah..."
Ignoring the sharp pain in her breast, Kagome pushed him back on the branch, and kissed him, her fiery tongue igniting his blood once more. She straddled him, a sigh escaping from both of their lips as he infiltrated her again.
"Kagome..."
She worked herself on him, delighting in the gasps and the moans that came from deep within his chest. She gradually rose to a higher pace until InuYasha growled deeply, and flipped her over onto the branch, and came between her legs.
"Damn you girl!"
He kissed her as he again entered without loss of momentum, pounding away at her. It was only a short time before Kagome moaned loudly and began to quake.
"InuYasha!!"
She clawed his back relentlessly, the waves of intense pleasure plowing over her. InuYasha embraced her as he joined in paradise. Both of them tremored uncontrollably for a few moments before going completely limp, breathing raggedly.
It was the first time Kagome had felt her lover so vulnerable, his body gone weak with the force of the storm that had come over them both. She herself was dizzy and slack, saturated with the sweat of both he and herself. Her chest still burned, and she still knew not why. She kissed his lips softly, and he groaned, his eyes fluttering. InuYasha pulled out of her, and stood. He took her hand and pulled her to her feet, and she took his kimono in the other hand. He led her by the hand to the base of the limb they perched on. There he sat,
and she rested in his lap, wrapped in the kimono.
"Kagome... I love you." He stroked her hair.
"I love you, InuYasha."
