Unexpected Lullabies Chapter 5
When Kouga woke up it was still dark out. He couldn't recall where he was and slightly turned his head to examine his surroundings. Stopping his gaze at the small window inside the lodge, he could tell that the sun wouldn't rise for another couple of hours, then his entire body froze when he felt the surface underneath him shift. His head was on Inuyashas' shoulder, tucked under the half-demon's chin, and he was spooned against him. He immediately felt ashamed now that he remembered breaking down in front of the half-demon. At that very moment his mind began to conjure up all the events of the previous night.
He had nodded off next to Inuyasha after they had their short conversation about the rape. Sometime during the night another nightmare woke him, he had dreamed that Kagome was standing in front of him with his cubs in her arms, screaming about how he took her children and now that she had them back he would never see them again. Then his dream shifted to the warriors holding him down and kicking him. No matter how hard he fought back, or how desperately he tried to escape, he couldn't protect his cubs or himself. The warriors left him lying in a pool of his own blood and his cubs had died inside of him. He woke with a start and felt it when someone's hand began to rub small circles on his back. Then he could hear Inuyasha asking him if he was going to be okay. His body stiffened and he lay still for a long time. When he heard Inuyasha concerned voice, quietly call his name, what little resolve he had left cracked, and he broke down.
He began to scream and pummel the wooden headboard of Inuyasha's bed with his fist, causing it to crack. He had cried out about how useless he felt. Only when his fist began to bleed did he calm down enough to feel himself being tightly embraced. Inuyasha was quiet for a while, then told him that he had kept things inside for too long.
He also noticed that his knuckles were bloody, swollen, and he could actually feel pain as it shot through his hand. He asked Inuyasha what he had hit. The hanyou told him that it was the headboard to the bed Kagome had him make for her. He felt guilty because he had broken something that belonged to the young miko, but the half-demon told him that it would be easy to make another, he began to relax.
He let himself be held as he spoke about his feelings of helplessness, guilt and loss. It seemed that Inuyasha understood how much it hurt him to have lost his pack, and how powerless he felt when he was getting raped, all he kept repeating was he couldn't protect his cubs and that they could have died. Inuyasha also told him that he himself felt that was every time there is a new moon. That's when he remembered that the hanyou did turn human and must know exactly how he felt, 'just like a cripple.'
Then to his surprise, Inuyasha nuzzled his nose into his ebony hair, and he could have sworn he heard the hanyou breath in his scent and that action alone made him feel safe in the half-demon's arms, and they sat is silence for a while enjoying the peacefulness.
For some reason Inuyasha started talking, telling him about how he grew up isolated by humans and demons alike. Inuyasha also told him about his own family, how his mother and father died, and how he wanted to try to become closer to his brother but didn't think it would ever happen. Inuyasha began to speak about Kagome. To him the hanyou's voice seemed to be full of loneliness and regret. He had asked Inuyasha about the well and the half-demon had told him how Kagome was from the future, and how she had pulled the arrow form his chest when he was sealed. Inuyasha even began to tell him about some of their adventures together. Then he knew how the hanyou had met Miroku, Sango, and Shippou.
When he asked Inuyasha why he let Kagome go away, he could see the heart-break and remorse Inuyasha held inside his golden eyes, and the hanyou told him that Kagome wanted to be with her family and that he loved her enough to let her go. He also admitted to the half-demon that even though no one believed him, he truly loved her. That is when their conversation ended and he drifted back to sleep.
Kouga now thought about his present situation – he was still cuddled up next to Inuyasha. An uncomfortable feeling started spreading through him and he wanted to get up as fast as he could, but he didn't want to wake up Inuyasha, because he knew that, if the hanyou woke upm he would see that he was being used as a pillow. Kouga wondered why he let himself be held by anyone, especially the half-demon he had always competed against.
After laying there for what seemed like an eternity, he was finally able to convince himself that he was in that position because he had gotten cold during the night. He refused to admit or accept that he liked the nice, warm cocoon in the center of the bed they had created. Or that it was very comforting to be held, even if it was by Inuyasha, because he felt safe and secure. Unconsciously, or maybe it was deliberately, he moved his body, snuggling closer to the sleeping hanyou, and fell back to sleep.
Inuyasha woke up to the sounds of the villagers getting ready for the day. He could feel the heavy weight of Kouga's backside pressed against him, and that one of his arms was slung around the wolf demon's waist. He also remembered everything that had happened during the night. He started to feel strange, and he tried to slightly reposition himself, but then he ceased all movement. He could not believe of all the times it had to be this morning that he would have an erection. What was worse, he knew it was not just one of those good old everyday morning erections. It was one of those this-body-pressed-against-me-is-turning-me-on-and-I-want-it-now erections. Then if things, for the half-demon, couldn't get any worse, Kouga began to stir. The wolf-demon pushed and shifted his behind against his stiff manhood. Inuyasha didn't know if it was instincts, reflexes, or just plan horniness, but his arm tightened around Kouga and he began to slowly grind his rocklike member against the wolf-prince's firm bottom.
A strangled moan escaped the Kougas lips as his eyes shot open. He could feel Inuyasha grinding against him and he was mortified. Not because he was being humped by the half-demon but because he also had a raging hard-on, and he could not believe that anyone, especially another male, had turned him on that much and that soon after he had been violated.
For the past couple of days Kouga had been holding in the sexual urges that came with pregnancy and hoped none of the other demons could sense that he was almost always aroused. Most of the time he would stay away from everyone or wouldn't say a word to them. He knew they would think that he was so quiet and withdrawn because of the attack. Little did they know that was only part of the reason he was so silent and distant.
He thought about how Inuyasha had calmed him during the night and remembered how he felt when the half-demon held him, surprisingly it made him feel very secure. He decided since they would have to get intimate with one another at some point and time, why not start now. He pushed his hips back against Inuyasha and they began to move against each other with a clumsy rhythm.
Inuyasha could still smell a little bit of Kagome's scent and told himself if he kept his eyes closed and focused on the faint smell of jasmine that lingered on Kouga and not really think about what he was doing, it would feel just like it did when he was with her. He slowly let his hand that was wrapped around Kouga's waist roam down the full demon's side.
Inuyasha's hand reached down and cupped the hard bulge between Kouga's legs. The wolf-demon moaned before he could stop it. He closed his eyes, trying to will back his strength to push the hanyou away, but he couldn't. He was too damn horny, and that pale hand fondling hin felt too damn good. Then that same pale hand slid up the round bump of Kouga's stomach and paused for a second. Kouga gasped when it suddenly disappeared down into his pants. The wolf prince hissed out as cool, fidgety fingers wrapped around the hard heat of his erection.
The first strokes Kouga felt were hesitant and soft. He bucked his hips to encourage Inuyasha to grasp him harder. Taking the hint, Inuyasha sped up his strokes, tightening his fingers. Kouga gasped slightly as his climax quickly approached.
Inuyasha opened his eyes, he watched the back of the full demon's head and suddenly realized that no fantasy about Kagome could replace what he was feeling. He remembered Kagome's physique being soft and shapely. The body he was now caressing and rubbing himself against was hard and muscular.
Inuyasha began to grind his erection faster against Kouga's backside, concentrating on reaching his climax as fast as he could. He refused to admit to himself that touching Kouga was unbelievable. The wolf demon's aroused odor crowded all of his sense of smell, and he breathed in the scent of fresh rain, musk, and the intense heat of Kouga's passion. He couldn't believe that he was actually enjoying the smell and feel of the wolf-demon. Suddenly all thoughts he had were cut short because the beginning of a very loud moan began to slip from his lips. He latched his mouth onto Kouga's shoulder to muffle the sound of the powerful orgasm that rushed through him.
Inuyasha kept stroking Kouga's length until he felt the dark-haired demon's body tense-up and tremble. Kouga closed his eyes and tried to slow his breathing. The climax he just had not only lessened most of the sexual tension that had built up in his body over the past few days, but it was one of the best ones he could ever remember having.
When he opened his eyes, he turned to see Inuyasha sitting on the edge of the bed, with his back to him. To Kouga it looked like the hanyou was cleaning off his hand, but he couldn't be sure. He began to say something to Inuyasha, but stopped when he felt a slight movement coming from his stomach. He gasped as he pressed both hands against his round belly, wanting to feel it again. And as if on cue, he felt a nudge against his stomach form the inside, his little ones were kicking. Kouga let out a small laugh. He hadn't felt them until this very moment. Tears filled his eyes and he let out another chuckle that shook his body.
Inuyasha sat up in the bed and stared at the wolf's cooling seed sticking to his fingers. He wondered if Kouga still smelt a little like Kagome would he taste a little like her also? He raised his hand and licked some of the semen of his first finger. It tasted a little salty and nothing like her and he liked it. He began to taste a little more as he kept his back to Kouga. Inuyasha felt the bed shift but didn't turn around, he was enjoying the taste of his new . . . He stopped licking his hand when he heard the sound and the smell of tears coming form the wolf demon.
Inuyasha cursed under his breath thinking that he had pushed himself on the pregnant wolf prince too soon. He began to think that he was no better than the warriors that had attacked Kouga. He could feel the bed tremble as Kouga's body shook. He thought the wolf demon was having another break down and deep shame overcame him as regretful thoughts ran through his head.
Kouga was about to tell Inuyasha that he could feel the cubs kicking when he heard a soft, "Kouga, I . . ."
Inuyasha broke of whatever he was going to say and hastily fled the bed. He paused only briefly at the door of the lodge, without turning around to look at Kouga , "I won't ever touch you again." He spoke with a shaky voice, then so softly that Kouga barely caught it, he followed with, "I'm sorry." The half-demon than walked away, leaving a confused wolf-demon alone.
Kouga spent the rest of the morning alone in bed with his mixed up thoughts, as his cubs rolled happily about in their father's belly. He just knew that the hanyou was repulsed by touching him. Why else would he run off the way he did?
When noon came nothing was spoken of the events of that morning by either of the two demons, nor did Inuyasha return to the lodge. An unspoken arrangement appeared between the two. Kouga thought by the way Inuyasha ignored him that his health and the progression of his pregnancy seemed to be the only concern the hanyou had for nothing more personal was ever discussed. The rest of the time they were around each other was spent separated with Inuyasha talking with Miroku, Ginta, and Hakkaku, and Kouga listening to Sango tell Miki about her pregnancy and the two females often added him in their conversation asking him all sort of questions. When he thought no one was looking, he would take quick glances in Inuyasha's direction but the half-demon never looked back.
Kouga started to feel worn out. He excused himself and went to the lodge that he and Inuyasha shared. He lay in bed until the sun began to set and the stars filled the night sky. Feeling frustrated, annoyed and a little hurt, because he thought he knew by the way Inuyasha had acted toward him, that there would not be a repeat of their morning tryst. Tonight he would have to deal with his urges himself.
The wolf prince waited and held off the urge to please himself, until he could no longer keep his eyes open, hoping and wishing that Inuyasha would come back to the lodge and at least talk to him, but the hanyou never came back, and he was once again left alone.
