Song of My Soul

Part 5

Inuyasha wrapper his arm around her waist tighter to support her weakening legs. His other hand steadied her even more when he placed it at the back of her neck to hold her in place. She couldn't stop herself from sliding her hands up his back and dragging her nails down his muscles. This was the sensation she had yearned for every second they had been apart. The last two years faded into nothing. Her soul reached out to his as they began the ethereal dance of a timeless love only soul mates shared. She moaned when his hand slid down her slick body over her hip to her bottom.

They were lost in the feel of each other, moving on instinct and per primal need. Soon both his hands were on the back of her thighs and he lifted her up as he wrapper her legs around his waist. She could feel his excitement and rejoiced in the feeling it caused. His fangs slid slowly down her chest to her breast. His hand lightly caressed the small of her back with his claws.

The sounds of her moans prompted him to continue with his assault on her flesh. He held her body close to his while rubbing her wet skin The whole purpose was to tease her into submission. He wanted to hear her beg for him. She responded with gasps and groans wanting to relieve her desire.

"Oh God Inuyasha stop teasing me." She hissed out as he caressed her again and stopped not allowing her to move.

"Tell me what you want Kagome." His voice was husky with the desires that had been driving him crazy for two long years but his beast side wanted submission. It wanted her to learn never to defy him again.

"I want you to stop teasing." She whined with a pouty lip.

"No Kagome. Tell me what you want." He smirked at her pout and captured her lips with his using his teeth to gently nibble on that protruding lip. It caused her to groan with new need. Her scent spiked again and he knew she couldn't hold out much longer. He slid his body along hers again for good measure causing her groan to increase. She threw her head back exposing her neck and he savagely attacked it with kisses and nips. Her panting was driving him crazy and he didn't know if he could hold out much longer either so he decided to push the issue with her. "Come on Kagome, I know you want it. Just give it up and ask. You know I won't disappoint you." His voice was so deep with lust he did even recognize it himself. She looked at him with hooded eyes that were glazed over with need.

"Your a bastard you know that." She whimpered and wiggle to get loose from him. He was too strong and used his body to pin her against the tile wall of the shower. She reveled in the feeling of the cool wall against her heated skin. A shiver of pleasure ran through her body and he smirked at her. She knew this was a losing battle. He was by far more stubborn then she was. His smirk got wider as she almost crawled up the wall when he ran his claws along her spin. "Oh god." She desperately clung to him. Her breath was coming in short quick pants of need. But she wanted something too. She needed to hear him say it just once so her heart would stop the terrible aching feeling that was quickly rising in her chest. "I need to know." She whispered. He stopped and looked at her curiously.

"Need to know what?" He asked almost afraid to hear. He could already see the tears she was holding back try to slip past her lust filled mind. She swallowed and stared into the amber eyes she had loved for so long.

"What do you feel in your heart?" She had to fight to keep from choking on a sob by biting her lip. His face softened and he tilted his head to the side as his eyes fell to her lips. A frown formed on his own mouth and he leaned forward stopping a mere inch from hers.

"You should know by now Kagome. You are my heart." He whispered then covered her mouth with his in a gentle loving kiss. He broke it off and leaned his forehead against hers. All teasing put to the side, all the anxiety pushed away for the moment. "I love you with every part of me. That never changed." He opened his eyes to see the tears start to fall from hers.

"Then why Inuyasha? Why?" She sobbed hating herself for ruining the moment but the battle between her mind and her heart were driving her crazy. Her heart and body wanted his caresses but the questions were still in her mind and wouldn't leave. Even now when he was this close. He held her closer and kissed her temple.

"Kagome please don't do this now. I promise I will explain everything later. You need to let it all go for now and relax. Your so tense I can feel it through our bond. Just remember that I have always loved you. As my best friend and now my mate. Nothing can come between us unless we let it." He kissed her gently then set her down and gladly let her cling to him as she cried it out. The water continued to beat down on them while they stood in silence. Kagome finally pulled away and looked down at her hands. She snorted then looked up at him with a smile.

"I think we better get out. I'm turning into a prune." She showed him her wrinkled water logged fingers.

"Yeah it looks like it but you're my prune." He laughed at her frown then helped her out of the shower. He turned to flip the knobs on the shower and was disappointed when he heard the door to the bedroom open. When he turned around the clothes he had brought for her were not there. Cursing under his breath he grabbed a towel from the rack, wrapped it around his waist then picked up his cloths and stomped out of the bathroom. Fuming he headed for the hall thinking that it was going to be another long frustrating night when she stopped him.

"And where the hell do you think you're going?" She snapped. He cringed at the anger in her voice. 'Shit.' He thought and slowly turned around ready to accept the verbal beating that was coming. His eyes felt like they would pop out of his head when they landed on her. She was on the bed laying on her stomach completely naked looking at him with a frown. "Get your ass back over here and finish what you started." She growled. He could have jumped for joy and dropped the cloths in his hand along with the towel. Then he grinned and looked at her seductively.

"Excuse me but you were the one to stop it. Why should I come over there when you might just do it again." He said defiantly and turned his nose up in the air. She narrowed her eyes at him and snorted. She watched him closely wondering if he was serious or just screwing with her again. He did love his little games. Slowly her eyes flowed over every muscle of his torso and long legs taking in just how beautiful he was. She wondered how he could love her when she was so plain. Her heart began to ache again and she had to hold the tears back. She buried her face in the comforter to fight back the feelings. Suddenly she felt him stoking her hair gently.

"Kagome?" His voice was filled with concern. "I was only playing." He confessed and kissed the top of her head before laying his cheek on it.

"I know." She sniffled. "But it is so hard you know. I don't understand what went wrong. I feel like I am falling apart and I can't stop it." She sobbed feeling bad again because she had ruined another romantic moment. His clawed fingers ran through her wet hair caressing her gently. She felt the bed dip under his weight when he climbed on it and lay down next to her. His arm slid across her back and he pulled her closer to him. She relished the sensations caused when he nuzzled the mark he had placed on her back claiming her as his mate. It began to sooth some of the anxiety that was building up again.

"Ask what you need to Kagome. It is the only way this will stop." He had hoped this conversation would be put off till later but now it was evident it couldn't wait. She rolled over and looked at him with teary eyes. It broke his resolve and he leaned in kissing them away. "Don't cry. I'm not worth your tears. I never was." He could feel his own tears start but fought to keep control for her sake.

"I love you so much. To see that tore my soul apart." She held his head close to her chest afraid to let go.

"I love you too. I never wanted to hurt you." He baulked at her cringe. Her scent quickly changed and added anger to her sorrow.

"Then why were you with her. All those times. You can't deny it. You lied to me about working late just to see her. Naraku showed me pictures. I..." She was snarling. Something in him broke and his beast refused to let his bitch act like this. Her eyes widened when he growled at her. His youkai was flowing off him in a blanket of anger. Fear filled her heart when his eyes flashed red and she began to push on his chest to get away.

"God damn it. That prick had her followed." He snarled and grabbed her by the wrist, his claws pricking her drawing blood in a couple of places. Without much effort he pinned her hands to the bed next to her head. He was startled by the fear that came off her in waves. She had never been afraid of him no matter how bad they argued. He forced himself to calm down and he eyes changed back to their golden hue. But she still shivered from fear.

He quickly realized his mistake and made a low rumble in his chest to help calm her nerves regretting losing his control. He nuzzled her neck apologetically when she whimpered. "Please Kagome, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. It's just...he did so much...while you were gone...I heard things about you and him. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I would never hurt you like that." She relaxed more when he let her wrists go and hugged her burying his face between her breasts.

Tentatively she wrapped her arms around his head again to hold him close. She swallowed hard when his tongue licked the valley between her breasts and traveled up her chest to her neck. He nuzzled her affectionately then kissed her deeply. When he pulled away she could see the streaks of his tears and knew he was genuinely sorry. She sighed and smiled at him. The fear left her and he was able to relax too. He started deep into her eyes then he remembered the pictures she said she saw.

"What pictures were you talking about?" He laid his head back down so he would be able to keep better control.

"They were some that Naraku had of you and...Kikyo." She swallowed again to fight the feelings that threatened to come back. Nervous fingers ran through his hair making him groan in pleasure.

"What were they of?" He said sluggishly.

"Well they were just the two of you when you were together but..." She stopped remembering what she had thought earlier.

"But what?" He was getting too relaxed and would have to move soon or he would fall asleep with her tender touch.

"Well they weren't that bad. None of them were intimate really. There was one I remember of you hugging but there weren't any of you kissing or acting like a couple. You know what I mean?" She pushed the bangs away from his forehead as she ran her fingers through his silky hair. She loved the feel of it and didn't want to stop. Then her hands froze when the image of Kikyo standing in nothing more then a revealing night gown came to mind. She frowned but again forced herself to remain calm. "What I saw in that hotel room hurt so much. The pictures just seemed to add to the feelings of betrayal I felt." Inuyasha could sense she was getting upset again so he nuzzled her neck reassuringly.

"Think Kagome. What did you see?" He paused then thought he should make it clearer. "Exactly what did you see. Think back. It's the only way you will be able to tell what happened." He sighed when she began to pet his ears. A deep rumble emitted from his chest he couldn't control and she giggled causing him to laugh. "You better stop that or we won't be talking for long." He chuckled. It helped to relieve some of the stress.

"When we got there I didn't know what to think." She started and he shook his head.

"No. I want to know what you think you saw." He leaned up on his elbows and looked into her eyes. She could see he was very serious. Her mind whirled with the memories trying to pick out all she could from that night. It still hurt but she wanted to come clean. If they could at least remain friends she thought perhaps she could live with that. The image of the dinner set out for two, the two wine glasses and the candle light came to mind. The picture of Kikyo in the night gown flashed into her vision again and her heart clinched. A tear slid from the corner of her eye. He leaned up and licked it away gently. "It's ok hon. Just tell me." He nuzzled the hair on the side of her head. She forced the feelings to the back of her mind. 'I can do this. I have to for my marriage.' She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"First I saw the dinner set for two with candle light and wine. Then I saw...Kikyo in that...night gown." She took a shuttering breath and another tear slipped but she continued. "Then I saw you being held by those body guards." Her eyes seemed to glaze over as she ran the picture over in her mind. "You still had your suit on but your tie was loose and you had removed your shoes and set them at the foot of the bed. I thought at the time it seemed funny how that is where you put them when you are...getting ready for bed." She sobbed unable to hold it in any longer. He immediately hugged her close.

"No baby don't..sssshhh." He cooed to her. Carefully he sat up on the bed and gathered her into his lap. He rocked her back and forth until she calmed down. He raised her face up to look into her eyes. The pain was still there but the flood works had stopped. Gently he brushed a few strands of hair from her face and smiled reassuringly at her. "You ok now?" She nodded. "Ok are you ready to hear my side of all this mess?" His eyes flashed with so many emotions she couldn't keep up with them. She pursed her lips then placed her hand on his cheek. He closed his eyes and leaned into her touch relishing it because she had done it on her own.

"If you are ready to tell." Their eyes met for a moment then his became hard.

"I have been waiting two years to get this straightened out. Hell yes I am ready." She smiled and sat up on her own to await his explanation.
