Chapter 3: A New Demon
"Why are you smiling at me like that Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, her arms still around the hanyou's neck as she straddled his waistline. (A/N: They haven't actually done anything yet like your probably thinking. So stop thinking that!)
"I don't know what you're talking about." Inuyasha said, looking innocently at the girl in his arms. His hands sat comfortably on the back of her hips as he attempted an innocent smile. He failed.
"I see right through that agel act. What are you thinking?" she asked. A short look of thought came across her face, and then left as soon as it had come. "Nevermind. That was a stupid question. What would any guy be thinking at a time like this?" she said as she looked down, realizing how close she was. A blush came over her face and she released herself from his waist and swam away to the rock siding.
"I was thinking how beautiful you look right now and how I wish I could always be alone with you." Inuyasha whispered into Kagome's ear as his arms snaked around her waist and remained.
She smiled and turned to face him. "I love you." she said softly.
Inuyasha leaned down and kissed Kagome sweetly and lovingly. "I love you too." he said as he pulled away.
Kagome leaned up and returned his kiss, deepening it.
Inuyasha licked her bottom lip, hoping for entrance. He slid his tongue in as she allowed and their tongues dualed, exploring each other's mouths once more, deeper and more passionate than before. Inuyasha's hands slid up and down the middle of Kagome's back, sending chills through her body. He smirked as he felt them.
Kagome allowed her lips to begin to wander from Inuyasha's lips. She gently kissed his cheek and them the bottom of his jawbone. She then moved to his neck.
Inuyasha's ears twitched as Kagome hit a certain spot on his neck. Kagome smirked as well as she felt his body tense at the pleasure she'd just given him. She began to pull away when Inuyasha spoke.
"Don't stop Kagome. That felt so good." he said huskly. His hands were now tangled in her dark, wet hair. He pulled her into a deep kiss once more and then immitated what she had done as he now saw she wasn't going to continue.
Kagome also tensed as Inuyasha kissed her spot on her neck.
He then deepened it, causing Kagome more pleasure than she thougt could've been caused by that spot. He gently bit and sucked the spot, knowing this was going to cause Kagome to have a "love bite".
"Oh, Inuyasha." Kagome whispered as she ran her fingers through his hair and across his back.
Inuyasha pulled Kagome close into his body, enveloping her. "Is this ok Kagome?" he asked, knowing what he was going to cause.
She nodded and pulled him back into her neck, moaning quietly in pleasure.
He moved his way back up her neck and to her lips, kissing her passionately once more. He began to pull her up on his waist when she pulled away.
"No Inuyasha." she said shortly.
"What is it Kagome? I thought I was making you happy." he said confusedly.
"You are. Believe me. But...I'm not ready for that yet. Please don't be mad. I'm sorry. It's just..."
"It's fine Kagome. Why would I be mad? I respect you and you know I won't make you do anything you don't want to do or aren't ready for." He smiled sweetly at Kagome in understanding as she smiled back.
"Thank you Inuayasha." she said quietly, kissing him once more before gently pushing him away and laughing. "Now turn around. I'm going to get out."
Inuyasha let out another whimper as before and turned reluctantly around as Kagome crawled out and took her clothes behind a rock to dress.
As she put her bra and underwear on, she said, "You can turn around now."
Inuyasha turne, wide eyed as he saw her in her underclothes behind the rock.
Kagome threw a small rock in his direction, laughing. "Inuyasha!"
He laughed and walked to his clothes, avoiding the direction of the half dressed Kagome. "Alright Alright! I won't look." he said, putting his hands up defensively. "But you did tell me I could turn around." he muttered. His head was met by another small rock thrown in his direction. "What!" he yelled, laughing. "It's not my fault you're beautiful!"
She smiled as he said the last word. She walked over to him, now fully dressed. "Thank you Inuyasha."
"Huh?" he said as she slipped her arms around the side of his bare waist. He'd only gotten a chance to put his pants on before she walked over. "What for?" he asked, not sure what he did to deserve the kiss on the cheek she was giving him.
"I don't think you don't usually complimented me. And I wanted to thank you. Not many people tell me things like that and mean it." she said quietly, smiling at him.
Inuyasha leaned down and kissed her on the lips. "Well you are beautiful. I'd just never gotten up the nerve to tell you before now. Sorry for the wait." he said as he slipped his undershirt on. He bent down and kissed her forehead and took her hand in his. "Come on. Let' head back to Kaede's. I doubt Sango and Miroku will be there yet but I smell food. And it's beginning to get dark." he said, protection obvious in his actions. He was now more alert than before, pulling Kagome close as they walked and always making sure he could see her clearly from the corner of his eye.
"So...Kagome?" Inuyasha said quietly as he rubbed the knuckle of Kagome's thumb softly and lovingly, lettin gher know he was still paying attention to her.
"What is it Inuyasha?" she asked, smiling at him sweetly.
"What school are you going to go to?" he asked, nervousness now showing.
"I don't know if I'm even going to go to college yet. But...I do know one thing." she said, stopping and pulling Inuyasha around to look at him, her arms snaking around his neck. He returned the gesture, his arms now around her waist. "I know that I'm going to stay here...with you." she said, a smile coming to her lips.
Inuyasha smiled as well, resting his forehead on hers. "I love you." he whispered before leaning down and kissing her sweetly.
"I love you too Inuyasha." she said. She was glad her decision made him happy. Her long midnight hair blew in the slight wind. She felt Inuyasha suddenly tense.
Inuyasha quickly picked her up bridal style and jumped into the top limb of the nearest tree, Kagome screaming in his arms.
BOOM
A cloud of dust covered the entire area they had just been standing. As it cleared it revealed a demon with fire red hair. The demon was tall and his eyes were red as well. He stood, with a face like Sesshomaru always possessed, and followed Inuyasha's scent up to the top of the tree. He jumped and was almost immedietly there. He seemed to disappear and reaappear instantly instead of move. He punched Inuyasha hard in the jaw, causing him to fly in the direction of a nearby tree, still holding Kagome. He surrounded her with his body and held her close and tight, not willing for an instant to drop her. He clenched tighter as his back hit the trunk of the tree. He growled in pain but never let Kagome fall.
"Inuyasha. Just let me go so you can fight. Please! You're in pain already. Just drop me." Kagome whispered desparately, tears filling her eyes at his pain. If he'd dropped her he wouldn't be in the pain he was in.
"No way. Kagome. At this height, there's no way I'm gonna let you just drop so I'll feel better. I have to protect you. It's my job as a m..." Inuyasha stopped short, realizing what he almost said. (A/N: for those who can't figure it out, he almost said mate.) "I mean... I just have to. So forget it." he growled once more as they fell hard to the ground.
Kagome pushed out of his arms and helped him up.
"Kagome! What are you doing?" he screamed at her.
"We're on the ground, now no more getting hurt because of me." Kagome said sternly. "Inuyasha! Look out!" Kagome screamed. The demon was flying at them with a purple glow coming from his hand, aiming straight for Inuyasha's heart.
Inuyasha drew the Tetsusaiga and easily blocked the attack, fending the demon back. "What do you want demon?" Inuyasha yelled, standing protectively in front of Kagome.
"I want...her." the demon said pointing his clawed finger at Kagome. "I hear she can sense the jewel shards and with Naraku gone..I can collect them for myself." the monster said selfishly, greed in his eyes.
"Well...you're out of your mind! Kagome doesn't collect for anyone but me and the others. So you can't have her! And true, Naraku is gone. I killed him." Iuyasha snarled at the last word.
A look of disgust came over the demon's face. "You?" he said as if it were impossible. "But you're nothing but a half breed."
Inuyasha jumped, weilding the Tetsusaiga ready to plunge it into the demon. "So what if I am!" At those last words he swung his sword and split the demon in two.
Kagome ran to Inuyasha. "Is it over?" she asked.
Inuyasha nodded. "Yea, I think so. Are you ok Kagome?" he asked, concern in his voice.
Kagome smiled and nodded. "Yes I'm fine."
The demon's parts suddenly started to glow and come together.
"What the Hell?" Inuyasha said. "Kagome get back." Protection filled his voice as he said this.
"Foolish mutt. I have half of the sacred jewel. You cannot kill me that easily." he snarled at Inuyasha.
Kagome saw the half of the jewel glowing in the demon's body and took out an arrow, aiming directly for it.
"What a coincidence. We have the other half." Inuyasha said as he took another hit at the monster.
The demon was about to retaliate when it was struck in te heart with Kagome's arrow. The jewl rose from his body and then fell to the ground. He was dead.
Inuyasha turned, amazed. He saw Kagome standing, her hair blowing in the wind, holding her bow at her side. She looked so pure and yet so powerful. He'd never watched her shoot and fight that way. He'd never seen her look the way she did right then. She was gorgeous.
