"…Blazing in the Night Sky." - Chapter Six: Confessions

"Why didn't you tell me before," Inuyasha asked his mate softly when she had finished telling him everything she'd been keeping secret before. "I don't know," She replied softly, looking down at her hands, folded in her lap, as she sat now quietly beside him on the couch. Sighing, he leaned his elbows on his knees to rest his face in his hands. "Yes you do, you just don't want to tell me," He murmured accusingly. Holding back a sob of guilt, Kagome looked at him, placing a hand on his shoulder as she opened her mouth to object. But he only brushed off her attempts of comfort, inching away to the other side of the couch.

Kagome held her hand levitated in mid air with a shocked look on her face as a single tear ran down her cheek. "You didn't trust me, Kagome, you didn't trust me enough to tell me what was happening to my own wife…What was happening to my own son…," He whispered, dropping his hands from his face to stare the fire burning in the hearth before them. "That's not true," She cried back, bracing her hands on the couch cushion between she and the hanyou as she leaned towards him. "It is true," He bit back, turning his heated gaze towards her, "And you know it."

Inuyasha watched her face crumble at his last remark as she turned her face away from his line of sight. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha," She then said, letting go of the sob he knew she'd been holding back. "You're right, and I'm so sorry. It's just…you were away so much, and I missed you," She paused for a moment then sobbed again and said in a high voice, ragged with tears, "And I didn't know what to think!"

Choking on his breath a moment, he looked down and blinked a hundred times to keep the wetness in his eyes from spilling over. "You shouldn't of doubted me, Kagome. We're mates, we're married, we have children, did you really think I'd give all that up," He asked, looking up and lifting a hand to his wife's chin, forced her to turn her gaze towards him. "I'd never leave you or the children, no matter what happens, no matter if Hidama has something wrong with him or not, I don't care…I love you so much Kagome, I love you so much!"

Kagome stared at her husband, looking deep within his amber orbs to see whether what he was saying was the truth or not. Though, once she saw that it was, she flung herself towards him and wrapped her arms fiercely around his neck. "Oh Inuyasha, I love you too, and I'll never doubt you again, never."

Sighing in relief, Inuyasha wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, nestling his face in her neck. "I'm glad," He whispered, his breath coming out warm and comforting on her skin and reflecting back on his face. Closing his eyes, he smiled then stiffened when he realized what was happening to his mate. As she shifted against him, he smirked faintly and nuzzled her neck, nipping the spot where he'd marked her so long ago it seemed.

Then, out of no where he felt something sharp pierce his ear and gasped, digging his nails into his mate's back. She responded in moving onto his lap so that she straddled her partner and gripped his shoulders, pushing him back against the couch. "Kagome," He breathed as her head lowered to give him a kiss so passionate that it set his whole being on fire as their tongues intertwined in a dance of driven want for one another.

Slipping his hands beneath her shirt, he ran his fingertips over her soft skin and up her back, tracing her spine with his claws as they made their way back down. As they broke the kiss, he gulped air, trying to control his feelings as Kagome seductively kissed down his neck before digging her teeth into the base of his neck where she had claimed him the night of their mating.

The rivulets of heat and animalistic lust that pulsed through his veins afterwards was almost unbearable and he found no other choice but to snap his head up and fling her sideways from his lap onto the couch where he loomed over her. Panting with need, he leaned down to capture her lips in another sensual kiss but stopped in sudden shock as pain registered in his mind.

Confused, he looked down and spotted what had caused such an occurance. A the hilt of what looked to be a wickedly jagged looking dagger protruded from his torso. When his eyes traveled down the blade, he howled with anguish to see whose hand had weilded the weapon. Glazing bck up to his mate, he watched in horror as Kagome's face turned from one of lust to that of evil as she twisted the blade burried within him.

Crying out, he sat up and stumbled backwards away from the couch. "Kagome, why," He asked softly, tears of pain and sorrow streaming down his cheeks. She only smiled and sat up, "Inuyasha..."

"Inuyasha, Inuyasha, what's wrong," He heard someone say distantly as he felt himself be shaken out of a daze. Blinking a few times, he looked up to see it was Kagome who was speaking to him with a concerned look in her eyes. Feeling fear clutch his heart, he fought to wrench himself away from her grasp.

As he jumped up from the couch, his eyes remained on hers and he watched how the concern turned to hurt. Shaking his head, he glanced around then too a deep breath before looking back at his wife and sitting down cautiously beside her. Taking her hands, he asked in a slightly frenzied voice, "Kagome, what just happened?"

Her brows wrinkled and the hurt disappeared, replaced but confusion, "I was just about to ask you the same thing. One moment we were hugging, then the next you just spaced out then totally spazzed!" Furrowing his brows as well, Inuyasha looked down and shook his head once more. "It was so weird, I think…I think I had a vision of some sort…Except, it was awful…" Leaning close, the concerned look came back into Kagome's eyes. "What happened?" Sighing softly, Inuyasha grew silent for a moment, smirking at first at how the vision had started then took on a grim look as he looked back up, "You killed me."

Gasping, Kagome covered her mouth with both hands, "Oh Inuyasha…" Taking her hands in his, Inuyasha set one on each cheek and holding them there, "No, no no Kagome, it wasn't real, it didn't happen, don't think the things I think you're thinking, my mate." Sniffling, Kagome nodded as he continued gently, "No more tears, love." He watched as she nodded again then gave him a faint smile that grew larger when he sent her one back.

Standing, he pulled her up with him and wrapped his arms around her wait, pulling his wife tight against him. It was then, as he stood with his chin on Kagome's shoulder, that he noticed the small figure of his son, Hidama, standing with the door to his bedroom partially open.
He was almost totally invisible, scowling at him in the darkness, that Inuyasha wouldn't of noticed in the first place if it weren't for his sharp eyes. Then, as if going on a hunch, Inuyasha smirked and thought hard toward the little boy, "My son, I love you very much and though I don't know for sure, something tells me you're up to something."

Hidama's scowl turned to a look of shock then that of unemotional as Inuyasha went on, "But it doesn't matter, you are family, you are blood and even so, it seems as if we are strangers, it seems as if we are enemies with nothing in common. Though, we have one thing in common if nothing else…We love Kagome." His son smiled faintly at that and looked fondly at his mother then back at his father. "Father, you are right, in everything you say, you are right. I am up to something, I put that vision in your head. Don't think I meant any harm in it though, it was for the protection of the one we love. Because we love her so much, we can endanger her, Father," The voice of a mature young adult said inside his head as a reply to his previous remarks. "We can kill her," It added softly, and one small tear sparkled in reflection to the firelight as it slid down his cheek.

Kagome, who had noticed that they'd been standing there for sometime, looked up to see that Inuyasha was staring intently at something behind him. His eyes had glazed over in a trancelike state as they had before when he'd had the "vision". Worriedly, she followed his gaze and turned to see the little boy standing halfway through the doorway of his bedroom. "Hidama," She said softly, breaking his trancelike state as well as her husband's. "What are you doing out of bed," She asked, slightly wondering in the back of her mind what they had been conversing about, for she knew that look almost by heart now.

"I had a bad dream," Hidama lied softly, looking down at the floor. Smiling faintly, she walked to him and kissed his forehead. "Go back to sleep, love." Nodding, he turned and walked into the bedroom. She watched him go, slightly worried that something may invade the children's bedroom like it had the other night, but then, she remembered that Shippo was now home and sleeping inside the room with them. Smiling, she turned back to Inuyasha, who had a devilish smile on his face.

Giving a fake sigh, she walked towards him, swinging her hips against his, creating a sort of friction between them as she wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up. Batting her eyelashes innocently, she said in an exasperated voice, "Well, well, I see the master never tires." Growling, Inuyasha rested his hands on her hips and thrust his against hers. "That's right, now upstairs with you, or I shall have to bring out the paddle as punishment."

Grinning, Kagome leaned forward and ran her tongue over his neck, over the place where she'd marked him, and said in a heated voice near his ear, her breath coming out warm against his skin, "Oh and we wouldn't want that, now would we." She felt the shiver run through him and copying her mate, gave a smug smirk. "N-no," She heard him answer back, "Too much effort."

Inuyasha watched as Kagome detached herself and made her way up the stairs to the bedroom, leaving him to stand alone in the middle of the room, the only thing showing he'd ever been in that prodicument being the almost painful throbbing in his pants. Cursing, he started for the stairs in a quickened pace, one thought remaining in his head before he reached the landing, 'This time, things won't end up so…painful.' Grinning, he added on to it, 'At least not in a bad way.'
