Chapter 6

(Inuyasha)

We started back for Kaede's hut, where we could rest and recover. I still was so happy, I felt as though my system was electrified. I had so much energy, it was flooding through me.

Kyla had fallen asleep against me seconds after my little emotional bout. She had drained herself to save me, and now her head rested against my shoulder as I ran beneath Kirara. I had never felt this way before, not with Kagome, not even with Kikyo. One look from this female hanyou set my blood to boiling and one touch could send my heart into a sudden stop. I loved her and I would do anything for her. I smiled as her breathing floated across my skin, and then leaped out into the clearing.

Kaede came out of the hut just as Kirara landed and allowed Sango, Kagome, and Miroku to climb off.

"What happened child?" Kaede asked, moving towards me. "And who is this young one ye carry Inuyasha?"
"Her name is Kyla Himura." I told her, carefully transferring the sleeping girl from my back to my arms. "She's only sleeping Kaede. She saved my life."

"Saved your life?" the old miko said curiously as I entered her hut and lay Kyla on a pallet. "How did she do that?"

I sat beside Kyla, telling myself silently that I would stay beside her until she woke. "She's got magic, kind of like a miko but not quite. We were attacked by a snake youkai and I got poisoned. She healed me."

Kagome stood in the doorway. "She's powerful Kaede. She healed two huge holds in Inuyasha, one though his stomach and the other through his shoulder, along with purging the venom from him."

Kaede looked over Kyla briefly and I forced down the urge to growl. "She looks well enough. We should let her get some rest."

"I'm staying." I said firmly.

Kagome nodded, and then put one hand on my shoulder as Kaede left the hut. "I'm proud of you Inuyasha. You've finally admitted to yourself what you feel. I wish you the best."

I smiled at her lightly. "Thanks Kagome." She nodded and left the hut, leaving me with Kyla as she slept.


(Kyla)

I woke slowly, and almost instantly I felt a warm precensce beside me. I opened my eyes, looking over to see Inuyasha sleeping soundly next to me, one arm thrown over my waist. I smiled and snuggled closer to his chest, trying to go back to sleep. His voice however, pulled me from that thought.

"Are you awake?" he murmured, his deep voice causing me to shiver in delight.

"Yes. How are you feeling?" I replied, turning over and looking up at his face.

"I'm just fine thanks to you. You did a great job, I've never felt better. How about you? You used an awful lot of magic back there." His voice was concerned; worry flooding into his bright golden eyes.

I smiled at him reassuringly. "I'm fine Inuyasha. Thank you."

The relief was easy to see, and then I saw the mischievous look in his eyes. "Well then, I have one thing left to do." I found myself caught up in a mind-blowing kiss, his tongue probing at my lips. I readily allowed him in, touching my tongue to his. He ran his tongue over my fangs and I shivered. His lips moved from my mouth down my neck, licking and nipping on the way down.

"Inu-yash-a…" I moaned as his tongue ran in soothing motions over my collarbone. He nipped, but his fangs did not pierce my skin. I just knew I was going to have a mark, and I could only hope the collar of my slayer outfit would cover it.

"I love you Kyla," he murmured, his voice growling and husky. "I want you…"

I moaned slightly in response, my hands clutching at his long hair. His mouth returned to ravish my lips, tongue driving deep.

I moved from his mouth, my demon instincts coming into play. I lipped at his neck, then lightly tapped the skin with my fangs. He understood the unspoken message easily and his fingers worked at my clothes, which someone had changed to a miko's robes. I pulled at his haori and soon the red garment was discarded, along with the white gi beneath. I ran my claws over his muscular chest, and then moved my mouth to his neck.

"Is this your wish?" his voice was deeper than usual, husky and laced with need.

In response I growled, my voice low and seductive. A soft snarl echoed from his lips and I grinned. An instant later I buried my fangs deep in his neck. He cried out and I felt his claws on my now bare back, digging into the skin.

I removed my teeth from his skin and licked at the wounds, swallowing the blood and clotting the wound over. He suddenly took control with a feral growl, his lips flying over my skin while his hands caressed my breasts. I moaned and arched against him as his mouth closed over one nipple. My body was afire in pleasure as he ravaged me in ways I never thought possible.

"Are you ready?" he asked, his voice a mere murmur in my folded ears. I growled in response and he took a deep breath and slid slowly into me. I cried out and dug my claws into his back. For a moment there was pain, then a sense of completeness I had never before felt. I moaned in pleasure, tossing my head back in ecstasy. He thrusted into me slowly at first, soft snarls and growls telling me of his pleasure.

"Go-fas-ter…" I moaned, and he obliged with a deep-throated groan. I moved my hips with him fisting my hands in his flowing silver hair. I screamed as I felt release, then and overwhelming sense of warmth as he let out a cry and found release inside of me, sinking his fangs into my neck. He collapsed onto me, both of us breathing heavily.

"God I love you….." he murmured, pressing a kiss wearily into my hair.

"Love you too." I replied, my eyes sliding shut as he folded me in his arms and we sank into the bliss of sleep. I dimly noticed Inuyasha pull his haori over us, and then I knew only dreams of love and the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
