Chapter 4: Getting Closer To You

Two nights and two days had passed since Inuyasha was marked. He woke early to continue and help the others repair the village, but always kept an eye out for Kouga.

From what he knew and some of the things Sango told him, he thought Kouga would come for him, soon. He had heard how some demons treated their mates, dominating them completely. If the mates refused to submit they would be killed.

He knew that the mating mark was used to keep other demons away, but he never knew that it would make him obsess over Kouga the way he had been doing. Part of him wanted Kouga and he thought about the wolf often, and hated it.

He tried to keep as busy as possible, and keep his thoughts from straying to the wolf prince, but it was no use. Even as he watched Kagome practice controlling her powers with Kaede, his thoughts always were about Kouga.

Around noon Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo sat eating lunch and watched the end of Kagome's training. As they watched her they noticed that she was getting better and stronger.

She demonstrated her new skills to them. Showing them that she could now do spells, make potions and shoot up to five arrows at a time hitting her target accurately every time.

Sango observed Kagome and wondered if anyone else noticed the change in her. She was becoming incredibly strong very fast. It was not normal how the young girl's personality changed in such a short time, and she hoped it was nothing but Kagome trying to control her powers as well as the increased strength from the jewel.

Even though Sango thought it was more than that, Miroku tried to reassure her by telling her that Kagome couldn't let her emotions take over her while she was still learning how to restrain the jewel's power. And things would get easier once Kagome could control them. Sango let it drop as Kagome sat by them and started eating.

Sango missed her friend and even though the younger girl apologized for their argument, Kagome kept her distance from them all, afraid that she would hurt them accidentally. Kagome said on numerous occasions that she was tired and stressed and that she didn't think that she would ever be good enough to control her powers she even said the jewel made her feel different. They all encouraged her to keep trying and told her they would be there for her no matter what.

As night fell Inuyasha kept a watch out for the wolf to come for him. Especially since Shippo kept saying he smelled Kouga close by. Inuyasha wasn't sure if he was actually there or if it was only the mark he smelt. He didn't know what he would do if Kouga came for him tonight. He knew he wouldn't just lie there and let him take him. Inuyasha nervously looked around as he sat down. He bid everyone goodnight and kept watch. Finally fatigue caught up with him and he closed his eyes letting sleep claim him.

He looked up to see his pale hands tangle through dark hair. He felt soft lips run down his neck and began to suck, he let out a soft moan when the teeth bit down into his flesh. Once the teeth were removed he was able to look into deep blue eyes.

When gentle hands ran up and down his body, he stopped caring that those eyes belonged to the one person he thought he hated. All that mattered was the feeling the person caused, as he was slowly undressed.

He felt cool air sweep across him as a solid nude body slipped between his legs, causing him to gasp, as heat traveled through him. A deep voice sang in his ear whispering to him "What do you want Inuyasha?" Before he could answer, smooth lips were covering his.

He lost all coherent thoughts as the lips slowly moved from his mouth to his cheek then back to his neck. Inuyasha's breath caught as the skilful hands moved faster up and down his chest, setting him on fire.

He knew this was Kouga doing these things to him, and he shouldn't want the wolf demon this bad. But it felt so good, he couldn't help it. Finally he was able to voice out an answer, "I want... you."

This made the wolf smile and he once again moved his mouth to Inuyasha's kissing him hard as he trust deeply into the hanyou's body.

Gold eyes shot open and Inuyasha jumped up. His breathing was labored and sweat dripped from his forehead. 'It was a dream,' he told himself as he looked around with wild eyes. It felt so real, he felt every sensation, every movement.

Sighing, he brought both hands up to his face trying to calm himself and realized it was still dark outside. Everyone was asleep, so he stood outside the door.

'Stupid mark got me dreaming of that damn wolf, makes me think I want him,' he thought as his hand moved to the mark on his neck. Then he looked down, "Shit!" he exclaimed as he noticed the front of his pants were wet . 'I can't fucking believe this, I'm having wet dreams about that bastard','

He rushed over to the wash barrow to clean himself off. There was no way that he was going to the lake after the dream he just had. He just knew Kouga would attack him if he was away from people, and naked. He stripped and washed himself and his pants off, while watching the forest to see if anything was moving.

He quickly dressed and sat back down by the door, glad that no one was up yet. He sat and thought about the dream 'Nobody would ever want me like that...and I sure as hell don't...want Kouga... do I?'

Inuyasha thought about his dream. There were no signs of pain, or him yelling no...it didn't look or feel like rape either, no matter how much he'd hate to admit it, that was the greatest thing he ever felt, and he actually felt like someone cared for him... "Keh!" he spat, shaking his head from side-to-side, trying to get the stupid thoughts out of his mind. No matter what he dreamt, he refused to believe Kouga would be anything but cruel to him.

When the sun and people of the village rose, he realized that he had worried for nothing. Kouga never came for him. Even though he was relieved, a small part of him wanted Kouga to at least show up and acknowledge that he was his mate. He quickly dropped that train of thought and went about his day trying to forget about the wolf.

As the morning became noon, Sango kept an eye on a very emotional Inuyasha . He was acting nervous and jumpy. He would look around constantly and when he got close to her he would ask her did she think Kouga would come for him. She hadn't expected him to be this uneasy about the whole situation. She told him the truth that she didn't know what Kouga was planning. Inuyasha looked almost afraid and she felt sorry for him. .

He told her about the dream, just not in detail, and she told him his body was craving its mate, which caused him to go into a hysterical. When she tried to hug him and calm him, this caused a misunderstanding with Miroku.

The monk was just turning the corner as Sango threw her arms around Inuyasha's neck and in return he wrapped his arms around her, and rested his head on her shoulder.

Miroku stood in shock staring hard the scene in front of him. "Sango?" he called out to her... the two of them instantly split up

"So there is something going on between you two?" he asked, recalling the argument the two women had earlier. Kagome had mentioned that Inuyasha told Sango his problems and not her.

Sango ended up telling Miroku what had happened between the two rival demons, hoping the monk would forget about what he saw, and be of some assistance, He absorbed all of the information and laughed at the Inuyasha's luck, " I sure am glad I walked over here when you two were hugging, and not you and Kouga..." He snickered as Inuyasha gave him a death glare.

"Why you.." Inuyasha started but Miroku interrupted, telling him that if mating season was in a few weeks, Kouga would probably come claim.

Inuyasha flipped, telling them both that he would not be taken and abused by anyone, especially not the wolf, no matter what his stupid body wanted. Then he screamed at Sango for even telling the monk, and he ran off to the only place he could be alone. The Goshinboku Tree.

They chose not to follow him and let him cool down. It also was decided between the two not to tell Kagome about the situation Inuyasha and Kouga were in, until she was in more control or else someone's life could be at stake.

"Those two are demented." Sango said rubbing her head.

"Yes, but we are both still normal and we should stick close to one another," Miroku said pulling her closer to him by her waist grouping her at the same time... she balled up her fist..

"I can tell you haven't changed, you lecherous monk. " She said ramming her fist to his head leaving him stranded on the ground...

" Humph... , I see your punches haven't changed either." He groaned as a large knot formed on top his head.

Sango left him were he lay and walked back towards the cabin.

Inuyasha sat in his favorite tree thinking and pouting. His body felt so exhausted. He hadn't slept much the past few nights and when he did sleep, he would dream of Kouga kissing, touching and moving in and out of him.

He closed his eyes preying he would not think of Kouga anymore, but closing his eyes made him visualize the wolf necked.

He finally dozed off, not having a dream, just resting. By the time he opened his eyes the sun was setting behind the hills. Inuyasha decided he had been gone long enough and climbed down out of the tree, heading back to the village.

As he walked, he heard a branch snap. He quickly turned around to see the object of his misery standing there silently... watching him.

Kouga had put up with two and a half days of questions and jokes from his pack about his smell. Luckily no one thought he would stupidly bond himself to anyone so that topic never came up. To make matters worse he couldn't get Inuyasha off his mind the past couple of days, due to the many emotions the Hanyou had and the dreams he himself had about Inuyasha.

He was glad that Inuyasha managed not to get sat anymore; he couldn't explain another fall like that. Chiyo asked him on numerous occasions, what was wrong with him, especially when she caught her nephew crying. He told her he was dealing with some stressful things, and he would talk her when he could. She knew better, but let it slide for now.

His cousin hysterically laughed when Kouga woke up and had sticky, white fluids all over the fur pelt that was wrapped around his waist.

"I see you had fun last night!" Shinto said after seeing his cousin trying to sneak out of the entrance of the large cave the two shared. "Aren't you a little too old to still be having wet dreams?" he laughed grabbing his stomach. He had been laughing ever since he was woken up by the smell of semen.

Kouga frowned... " SHUT-UP YOU LITTLE DOG SHIT" he yelled at Shinjo, causing his cousin to double over and laugh even louder. "At least I have someone to dream about!"

Shinjo looked at him..." WHO," he asked and jokingly stated, "THAT HALF BREED MUTT?"

Kouga growled and his cousin fell to the floor and backed off, seeing the look on the pack leaders face. For some reason Kouga didn't like the fact someone other than him called Inuyasha out of his name. ' If he wasn't my cousin...' he told himself as he walked away,

After a quick bath he finally got away from his pack...and in the distance could still hear his cousin's laughter.

He made his way to the village Inuyasha lived in. He couldn't help the feelings he was having for the half-breed and needed to see him.

He walked through the forest and he remembered how sexy Inuyasha looked under him in his dream. How the moans escaped Inuyasha's mouth as he kissed him. And how a few simple words made Kouga want Inuyasha even more.

In the dream Inuyasha said he wanted Kouga, and that made the wolf prince think of the hanyou more and more. Kouga looked up and saw the boy who took up most of his thoughts, only this time it was his turn to gasp.

Inuyasha's back was to him. Even though the sun was setting, golden rays were seeping through the trees above landing on Inuyasha, causing him to look like he was glowing.

Kouga was mesmerized and wanted to run and take him right there. He moved toward Inuyasha 'SNAP,' that had to be the loudest snap ever herd. Inuyasha turned to look at him. Kouga seen and smelt fear coming from the half-breed.

'Damn it I couldn't smell him because of this damn mark'' Inuyasha looked panicked. He hated feeling venerable. All he kept thinking was that Kouga was here to humiliate and hurt him...and he wasn't going to be hurt anymore than he already had been. Kouga opened his mouth to talk, sensing that Inuyasha was nervous but all he got out was " I..." When Inuyasha's defensive side kicked in, and he attacked Kouga.

He punched Kouga in the face causing the wolf to stumble back a few feet. Stunned by the attack. Kouga went at him and knocked the wind out of Inuyasha and himself, as he rammed the hanyou in his stomach, causing them both to fall down.

All he wanted to do was touch Inuyasha and talk to him, but the dumb mutt had to go and attack. Inuyasha had another go at the wolf, and punched him in the jaw. Kouga pushed him away again. Both wolf and dog start to see stars when Inuyasha's head was slammed violently against a tree stump. Kouga tried to stop his attacks but Inuyasha seemed far too angry to be spoken to.

Before he could ask Inuyasha anything he was grabbed by his neck and Inuyasha squeezed as hard as he could.

"I won't let you take me, you can't have me." Kouga's world started to get dimmer as the air was cut from his lungs; he did the only thing he could think of, that would make the hanyou let go immediately. He kneed Inuyasha in the crotch, and they both doubled over in a fetal position falling to the ground.

'Damn blood-bond...Damn...mutt…' Kouga thought as he took that time to roll away and sit up

"Damn that hurt." Kouga grunted looking at Inuyasha, and in return, Inuyasha as he was holding both hands over his crotch, gave Kouga a look that could freeze hell. Kouga grinned and ran his hand through Inuyasha's silver hair. The hanyou started to growl and Kouga got up satisfied. He at least touched the hanyou, so he started to walk away without looking back.

Inuyasha watched Kouga's departing figure, mad and confused. He got up and ran after the wolf to finish his attack thinking Kouga was playing some game with him. The wolf had his back turned, wondering why Inuyasha would think he would hurt his own mate. Also thinking about what he could have achieved if Inuyasha wasn't so stubborn.

'Why had that mutt face attacked me? Why was he so afraid,' he needed contact with his mate due to the bond and he got that plus some... Kouga told his self as he limped, because of the pain in between his legs. 'Why did I knee him that shit hurt,... I feel like I got the crap beat out of me,' Every hit Inuyasha gave he felt. Every push Inuyasha gave he felt .

'I didn't even say one word to him,'.. He wondered why Inuyasha didn't even argue with him. It wasn't like Inuyasha to just attack someone like that. Not even him… Kouga was use to the long speeches the hanyou gave before each battle.

His thoughts were cut off when his whole body was violently jerked forward almost knocking him over a steep hill . Kouga jumped up and turned around , forgetting completely about the bond, as he kicked Inuyasha in the chest, knocking the wind out of both of them. Causing them to fly back in different directions. Inuyasha ht a pole with wire that separated the forest from a steep hill and Kouga hit a tree. Kouga was the first to recover form the two and ran to Inuyasha not giving him a chance to untangle himself from the wire.

"What's wrong with you, why are you attacking me?" Kouga asked as he picked Inuyasha up by his collar, and held his face right up to his own .

Since Inuyasha's arms were trapped in the wire he hung there looking at Kouga . Inuyasha growled. Kouga just smiled. The urge to have his mate was building in him, he was happy he was touching Inuyasha again with out the hanyou swinging at his face. It felt so good he, didn't want to let go.

Inuyasha leaned in towards him with his head, Kouga was so caught up in the moment he leaned in also, thinking he would receive a simple kiss from the half- breed that would be nice...

" OOOWWWWW" Kouga howled as Inuyasha's sharp teeth pierced down hard onto his nose. He dropped Inuyasha, and instantly clamped both his hands over his face. Inuyasha clawed and got free from the wire, ripping off some of his fire rat kimono. He tried to punch Kouga but Kouga caught his fist in his hand. He smirked at Inuyasha, then the half demon punched him with his other hand .

Kouga stumbled back never letting go of Inuyasha. He pushed Inuyasha hard and the smaller demon lost his footing, and tore threw the wire, falling down the hill, taking Kouga with him. They both roll over and under each other pulling hair, punching kicking and biting . '

"You mutt" grab

" Fucking flea bag" kick

"Stupid dog shit" punch

" You said what I was about to say you wimpy wolf..." bite

" Stop biting me, you Rabies infested... !" Inuyasha punched Kouga before he could finish.

Curses filled the air as the two kept rolling and beating on each other Finally the two of them reach the bottom and roll at least 4 feet away from each other. Inuyasha was the first to stand completely up and walked over to Kouga towering over the wolf , and looked down.

" I. (pant) Won't Let .You. (pant) Take. Me" he kicked Kouga in the stomach. "Stay away from (pant) me ass hole." Inuyasha said.

Kouga laughed as the pain bit at his stomach, Inuyasha was touching him and that's all he wanted...Inuyasha looked down at him with narrowed eyes… Kouga was laughing... why was he laughing?

Inuyasha kicked at him again, only this time Kouga caught his foot in his hand and pulled him down, onto the hard forest floor. Inuyasha hit his head and it made a loud thump that made the birds in near by trees scatter and fly off. Kouga swiftly got on top of the hanyou, ignoring the dizzy feeling he had and put one leg on each side of Inuyasha's body, wrapping his clawed fingers around the smaller males neck.

Inuyasha's hands went to the one that was wrapped around his neck, and gold eyes locked with blue. Both of them were still catching their breath. A long, silent pause ran threw the woods surrounding them. Finally Kouga spoke up.

" Why. (pant) are you. (pant). attacking me?" Kouga asked, as he slightly squeezed Inuyasha's neck.

Inuyasha slanted his eyes at Kouga. "What did you think stupid wolf," he groaned as he inhaled a deep breath, "That I would lie here and let you have me?"

Inuyasha's claws dug into Kouga's hands, causing blood to drip on the ground. Kouga ignored it and focused on the male under him.

"I won't let you humiliate and use me!" Inuyasha spat as he looked up at the wolf.

Kouga looked confused. "What are you talking about... use you?...I don't want to use you, and I won't hurt you." He said looking down and at his claws in Inuyasha's neck. "Unless you come at me like you did."

Inuyasha could of easily got away from him, but Kouga rubbed his thumb over the mark on Inuyasha's neck several times, causing the hanyou's eyes to close and his claws to retract.

Once Inuyasha was calmed, Kouga, not sure if the mad dog was going to attack him or not, loosened his grip from his neck and reluctantly stood up.

"What do you want, why are you here?" Inuyasha asked as he opened his eyes.

Kouga looked back at him but said nothing. He sucked in his breath, hoping Agnosia would let it go. His body ached from the fight. He had received twice the pain. Even if every touch from his bonded mate sent shivers down his spine, he felt he had enough fighting for now. He needed more intimate contact. He didn't want to have to force himself on Inuyasha. But he would if he had too.

Being impatient Inuyasha yelled, "Why are you here. Were you following me? I know you know that you marked me! So speak now!" His voice was firm and he was pissed.

Kouga sighed again. "I've come to check on my mate." he said. He didn't want to get the dog riled up, but to Inuyasha that was the wrong thing to say. Inuyasha pounced up and punched Kouga in the mouth causing his lip to bleed.

"I won't let you just take me!" Inuyasha yelled. He was about to kick Kouga again, when the wolf caught his foot ...( Can't believe he fell for that twice...)... and flipped him over onto his back. Kouga straddled him. And pinned his hand down with his knees.

"Why are you acting so thick-headed? You stubborn dog." Kouga growled as he reached down and grabbed Inuyasha's neck again.

Inuyasha was about to buck him off when Kouga gave a light squeeze at the mark on the half-breed's neck. Inuyasha froze, besides the fact that Kouga had been touching the mark, that caused him such trouble, the position the two were in made him feel...'warm'...and that made him feel uncomfortable. He moved slightly, shifting the weight of the male on top of him. He wasn't going to show any sigh of pleasure, not at all.

Kouga smirked, feeling and smelling Inuyasha's arousal. "This," the wolf's started rubbing the mark, "says your mine. I will see you as much as I please." Kouga didn't want to do things that way, but Inuyasha made everything so difficult.

"I don't belong to you. I'll kill you before I let you take me." Inuyasha snarled as he struggled under Kouga.

Kouga narrowed his eyes at the dog-eared boy and leaned down towards Inuyasha's ear, whispering, "If you really wanted to kill me, you would have drew your sword." He then slowly licked the mark on Inuyasha's neck. Inuyasha froze. A low wine came from his through and his ear twitched. So much for not showing any pleasure

"And if you weren't mine. I wouldn't be able to do this to you." Kouga stated as he massaged his thumb over the mating mark, causing Inuyasha to moan. The half demon knew what Kouga said was true, but he didn't want to give in.

He quickly came out of whatever trance he was in and tied to push Kouga off of him. Kouga grabbed his hands, firmly and pushed them onto the ground, as he locked Inuyasha's waist with his legs. Inuyasha eyed Kouga. He wanted to pound the wolf into the ground. He wanted to hurt the wolf physically, and emotionally if possible...so why wasn't he?

"You made me think of you and want you." Inuyasha hissed with venom, "I don't have a choice, and you didn't have to come for me, so why did you?" It was true if Kouga wasn't bonded to him, he would only have to see Inuyasha during mating season.

Kouga frowned, "Do you think this is easy for me mutt, I live with at least 100 wolfs who can smell your sent on me. How do you think that makes me look, Out of all people in the world I marked YOU, YOU, are my mate." He paused. "YOUR MINE... and I need you." He stopped talking once he realized he said too much and tried to calm himself.

Kouga was now dealing with his and Inuyasha's emotions and it was becoming nerve-racking. The half-demon was too emotional it made Kouga crazy. "I did not come here to take you." he said as calmly as he could. It would be easier for him to see and be with Inuyasha if he could get the boy past his fears.

"Yea right." Inuyasha snarled

"I will not take you." Kouga said. His desire to take his mate was too much for him now, and he grew tired of the game Inuyasha was playing.

"What the fuck do you think mumpfh..." Inuyasha was cut off as Kouga smashed his lips against Inuyasha's. He kissed his mate for a few seconds, but Inuyasha didn't kiss back. Kouga rubbed the mating mark again, and then he felt Inuyasha's tongue search for his. The kiss was full of hate, but it brought them both pleasure as they moaned into each other's mouths.

Kouga watched Inuyasha wiggle underneath him. And Inuyasha hated Kouga for being able to give him so much pleasure.

Inuyasha tore his mouth away from Kouga's, "What the fuck do you ahhhhhhhh." Inuyasha moaned as Kouga's hand slipped down his hakama. Kouga was turned on and couldn't wait any longer. He quickly curled his fingers around Inuyasha's growing member.

Inuyasha took a deep breath, 'I will not show him my pleasure,' he told himself, as he moved his head from side to side 'No,No,No'

He gave the fight with his conscience up, as his body betrayed him. His breathing became harsh. He felt Kouga's hand tighten around him and he moaned out loud.

"I knew you would like this" Kouga said smugly, never letting his eyes leave Inuyasha's. "I will not have to take anything from you, you will give your self to me willingly."

Inuyasha started to snarl, but stopped as his body started to seize up. He squeezed his eyes shut. Kouga smiled, and stopped moving his hand. He pulled his hand out of Inuyasha's pants, and before the hanyou could protest, Kouga snatched his pants down to his knees exposing Inuyasha's hard cock.

"Wait...wait I.." Inuyasha cried out but Kouga was too fast, he engulfed the head of Inuyasha's cock into his mouth. Inuyasha gasped out, and immediately reached down, grabbing a head full of black hair. He didn't know if he was pulling to make Kouga stop or pushing to make Kouga take more of him in. It felt so good, he sat up a little to look down at Kouga and watched as a pink tongue swiped across the tip of his cock Then he was engulfed into Kouga's mouth again.

(Censored)

He lay on top of the half demon for a while. Finally he raised up and pulled himself from his mate. He noticed several drops of blood mixed with semen fall onto the ground.

"Shit,.. I didn't mean to be so rough." Kouga said apologizingHe tried to kiss Inuyasha's nose but the hanyou turned his head to the side, ashamed.

"This won't happen again it doesn't change anything between us...I should have never let you touch me." Inuyasha said with disgust and hate

Kouga's eyes narrowed and he stood and began to dress. At first he didn't say anything he was hurt by Inuyasha's words but he wouldn't show it. ' If the half-breed could be an ass so could I,' He thought bitterly

"Think what you want mutt...you belong to me and now you have two of my marks to prove it." Kouga bit back.

"I hate you... Don't ever try this with me again, or I will kill you." Inuyasha said in a low threatening voice.

Kouga glared at him "I didn't have to try very hard. You gave your self to me, and you enjoyed it just as much as I did."

Inuyasha was so pissed and disgusted with himself. "I never asked to be your mate! You must have always wanted me, because you marked me on purpose this time!" he yelled. He ran his hand over the new mark on his thigh.

Kouga clenched his fists ready to knock some since into the dumb dog"Well...the only way anyone would want you is by mistake" He said 'why did I say that,' he thought. "I will fuck you, and mark you, all I want too. You. Belong. To. Me!" he added through gritted teeth, and turned and stomped away.

Inuyasha started searching for his Tetsusaiga to kill Kouga, but by the time he found it Kouga was long gone.

"DAMMIT!" He yelled and he gathered his things and stormed off.

Once Inuyasha got to the village everyone asked him what happened to him. His clothes were ripped, his face was dirty, and leaves were tangled in his hair. He told them he got into a fight with a wimpy demon. and was ok. None of them looked convinced.

Kagome gave him the third degree about running into the forest by himself because demon could still attack him. Miroku and Sango looked at him curiously when Shippo said, "Inuyasha , you smell funny...like Kouga and something else."

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes and was about to pound the fox but Kagome stepped in continuing her lecture.

For once he was glad that she didn't shut up. And the fussing lasted until bedtime, saving him from answering any questions about what really happened to him.

After they all lay down, Inuyasha sat outside the door silently cursing himself and hating Kouga more and more for making him enjoy what they did together. After replaying the day's events in his head he realized he wanted Kouga again but he would never let the wolf know that. 'Why did it have to feel so good, why him' he fell into a fitful sleep, letting his dreams be filled with images of Kouga.
