A/N: I feel like popularity in my story has been diminishing! For the past few chapters, I haven't been getting as quick, enthusiastic, or numerous results. Keep reading people! Don't loose faith in me! Please?

Inuyasha is a merciless assassin who can never satisfy his lust for blood. His life is full of lies, cheating, drugs, sex, and killing. And then he is hired to kill a girl who is different from all the others, and his bitterness is put to the test. Can she change him from the monster he is?

Chapter 8:

He looked deep into her brown eyes, the deep, dark eyes that were dark like the deepest part of an ocean. He remembered the night that seemed so long ago now, but was only last night. February 14, Valentines Day, the night he had killed Kikyou after three weeks of pretending. Three weeks of lying to her, leading her on until just the right moment when she trusted him so deeply that his betrayal, his murder would hurt her more than anything. The night when she had completely exposed her feelings of love for him. So many girls had fallen for him the same way, only to die by the thorns of the black rose. And now he was expected to destroy Kagome, as well. To kill the only person who had seen the real him. With Kikyou, he hadn't even thought twice about his motives. Now, with Kagome, he had forgotten them completely.

"I…" The words wanted to roll off his tongue so badly. Was it is heart? Or was it the nagging voice inside of his head that refused to cease reminding him that he was supposed to be leading her on, faking with her, with the motive to kill her in time. And then he was suddenly seeing her when she was a child, holding her hand as if for dear life while they cried together, him crying over the death of his mother, her crying over his pain. Her selflessness, her loveliness, and her friendship had captivated him then as it was doing now. And his head was screaming at him, telling him to tell her the truth. And then suddenly the words escaped his lips like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.

"I love you, too."

More tears emerging from Kagome's eyes, tears of joy and relief. Inuyasha's hand flying to her face to stroke the tears off of her cheek. His genuine smile, and then his sudden yelp.

"I can't do it…" he mumbled. He shook his head, gripping his temples as if in pain. "I can't do it," he muttered again.

"What?" Kagome asked, innocently. "What can't you do?" she questioned, reaching up to stroke his face.

"It's nothing," he said, smiling hesitantly and reaching up the press his hand against hers. "Nothing," he muttered again, this time to himself. And then he leaned in and kissed her. He kissed her with a passion that flooded with relief. For the first time in his life since his mother's death, there was no more pretending. No more lying, fighting faking, killing. Everything was suddenly real. His heart thumping with passion and flooding through his body, to his lips, his tongue, his hands, his entire body. Her body against his was real, and then, suddenly, her naked stomach on his, her hands pressed against his bare chest, their wet bodies grinding, wet jeans clinging to their legs, wet shirts on the ground beside them. Inuyasha looked at her half-naked body on top of him, and his mind kept saying "this is real, this is right, this is real." He was taking in her thin waist, flat, smooth stomach, and soft, beautiful breasts. Her lacy black bra suddenly seemed so annoying, like a barrier than he couldn't overcome. He never broke the kiss, but then could feel her eyes on him, her hands running over his nipples, then down his stomach to his rippling, built ab muscles. And then she was fingering the dark hair running up to his belly button, and then his fingers fumbled down her body to her smooth stomach.

"This is real, this is right, this is real," said his mind.

And then the real sound of his cell phone ringing.

"Ah, shit," Inuyasha muttered as he and Kagome untangled themselves from one another. Inuyasha fumbled for his cell phone, searching through his left pocket, shaken up by the passion of the kiss. Not finding the phone in his left pocket he went to search through the right one, but Kagome was a step ahead. She reached into his pocket, pulled out the phone, and handed it to him with a soft smile.

He flipped open the phone just as Kagome laid a short, passionate kiss quickly on his mouth before he answered.

"Hello?" he answered, his breath heavy. He couldn't hear who it was because at that moment, Kagome kissed him again and he pulled the phone away quickly. Then she was playing with the button of his jeans again while the voice of the person on the other line was talking in a far away voice.

"Hey, Kagome, hang on a sec," he said, pushing her away regretfully. He stood up and walked away a few paces. Kagome stood up to follow him, walking behind him slowly and questioningly.

"Hello?" Inuyasha asked again. "Sorry, I was in the middle of som-" and then his voice stopped short. Kagome watched the color drain from his face and his golden-brown eyes widened in shock. Yet he quickly regained his composure, or as much as he could at least, and returned to his conversation with the person on the phone.

"Hang on a second," he spoke into the phone. "Let me call you back, okay? Yeah. Okay." Then he flipped his phone closed at looked at Kagome with a frightened smile.

"Back to reality, he said. He put a hand on her shoulder as he was walking towards his shirt on the forest floor. Then, he kissed her, a deep, tasteful quick kiss full of eager passion, and then he leaned down, picked up his shirt, and pulled it over his head.

Kagome was looking at him questioningly, confused.

"Who…?" she began, sliding her hands up under his shirt, not willing to let him go just yet, wanting more just like he did.

"Don't… don't worry about it," Inuyasha said, his voice quavering as he felt the dropping, crazy feeling in his abdomen as she fumbled with the zipper of his jeans.

And then his shirt was up and over his head again, and his strong arms were throwing it to the side, and then he was holding Kagome in his arms and she gave up with his zipper and just lost herself in the passion of his kiss.

They eventually found themselves on the ground again, Inuyasha leaning up against the tree, Kagome straddling him, their bodies grinding as they kissed. Just as Inuyasha reached up her back to unsnap her bra, his phone was ringing again.

"Oh, fuck," Inuyasha said, pushing Kagome back again, just a little. She reached for his phone again and handed it to him, her eyes saying "not again!" in a playful, not-really-annoyed way.

But Inuyasha's smile disappeared at the angry voice screaming on the other end.

"KILL HER!" and then, "I'm watching you." Then the line went dean.

A/N: It's kinda weird... my writing is sometimes formatted weirdly when I get realy sucked into the story. Like, I do lots of run-on sentences and sentence fragments. Sorry if my writing gets confusing at somepoints. Short, again, I know I know, but hey, my last update was yesterday so you should be grateful… I hope imagines an angry mob chasing with pitchforks and large fruits. OH CRAP! Cowers in a corner. JUST REVIEW FOR ME! PLEASE!
