Chapter 10: Passion And Trouble

Kagome walked down the steps. Everyone was out celebrating her fathers return. He had been there for three days now. As much as she would have loved to go, Inuyasha wouldn't do so well if he had to use manners at a restaurant and so she stayed home with him. Not that it was a total lose. She and Inuyasha had a couple of hours to themselves.

This could work out okay. Kagome finished her way down the steps and saw Inuyasha sitting on the couch, watching some television show. One leg was hanging from the couch, while the other was up and his elbow rested on it. One of his hands held the remote. He was wearing a silk shirt. It was silver and only halfway button, exposing his bare chest. Since it was only 3 quarters sleeve him arms muscles showed off. He wore black dress pants. 'God.. he looks good like that.' Kagome blushed as she realized what she was thinking.

"Hey." Kagome walked over to him. After his ears twitched he turned to her. "What are you watching?"

"Feh, like it matters. This is boring."

"Well if you had any speck of patience we could have gone out with the others."

"What and wear the hate and file my nails down some more. No chance." He looked back over to the TV, his boredom never waning. He felt the couch vibrate a little as Kagome took a seat beside him.

Kagome wasn't to excited that Inuyasha was watching the discovery channel. 'No wonder he's bored.' Kagome looked for the remote and saw it in Inuyasha's right hand, which was bad for her since she was to his left. She groaned a little. 'Oh well.' She reached over his form, causing a small squeal of surprise from him. She grabbed the remote from his hands and smiled in victory.

"Hey, I was using that."

"Well maybe you should put on something more interesting." Kagome held the remote up to the Television and changed it.

"And I was watching that."

"Not anymore." Kagome felt someone's hand over hers and looked to it to see Inuyasha trying to steal the remote. "Hey!" She and Inuyasha began a little tug-o-war match with the remote. "Give me that."

"You give it to me."

"No. I want it."

"I had it first." The began to tug it back and forth and their tugging pulled them off the couch. The rolled around on the floor trying to get the remote. "I was.. using it!"

"You were watching discovery!"

"Who cares. It's better than your shows."

"Is not."

"Is too."

"Is not!" Kagome finally pulled the remote away from him and cheered a little. She only then realized the position they were in. She was under Inuyasha and his body was atop hers. His chest mostly bare and his lips mere breaths from hers. Her heart began to pound against her chest and she became anxious.

"It.. is." He whispered also caught in the moment. He leaned down a little and his lips hovered above Kagome's a little longer before he fully pressed them against hers, closing his eyes as she closed her own.

"Mmm." Kagome moaned on his lips, only succeeding in having him kiss her deeper. Kagome felt a Inuyasha growl echo into her mouth, causing a small tickle on her throat.

Kagome slowly and reluctantly wrapped her arms around Inuyasha's neck. His hands were gently rested on her waist. The passion and heat of the moment seemed to rise. More moans, deeper kisses.

"Wait." Kagome stopped him. He looked at her with a shade of bewilderment. "Someone will see us.. upstairs." She said in a hoarsely tone. Inuyasha nodded and got up and off of her.

Upstairs

There little act continued. Kagome and Inuyasha were on the bed kissing, but this time much more furiously than last time. Inuyasha could smell every ounce of arousal coming from Kagome. Kagome could sense all the arousal coming from Inuyasha.

Inuyasha was on top and Kagome was on the bottom. Her arms wrapped around his neck and her legs wrapped around his torso. She could feel his member pushing against her and his was definitely awake and ready. Kagome would have blushed if she had not been so caught up in the intimate moment between them.

Thunder banged against the windows and the sound of rain pouring was distant to the two people who confused time. Each moan caused the moment to become more passionate.

"Inuyasha." Inuyasha kissed down her neck now. She was breathing raggedly, yearning for more than this.

"Hmm?" Inuyasha's continued his kissing parade.

"I.. need you to know.." She cut herself off for a moment. "I want you to know I love you." Things became silent and the kisses stopped. Kagome waited for a reply. Inuyasha replied first by kissing her lips again and giving her a smile. "Do you.."

"Do you have to ask?" He smile brightened a little. "I love you too." He leaned down and nuzzled her neck. It was Kagome's turn to smile. "Kagome?" Inuyasha removed his head from her neck and gave her a serious look. "Will you be... mine?"

"Only if you'll have me." Kagome giggled a little and Inuyasha kissed her once more. The passionate moment continued.

Inuyasha's legs separated Kagome's, making her feel more exposed than ever. The manly hand went to Kagome's side and pulled her up towards him more and the other one went beneath her shirt.

As soon as Inuyasha hand came in contact with Kagome's chest her scent spiked and her back arched toward Inuyasha. She moaned once more.

"KAGOME!" A voice called out to her. The sound seemed to be muffled for Kagome, but Inuyasha pulled off of the girl beneath him immediately.

"They're back." Inuyasha informed Kagome.

"But it's only been about twenty minutes." Kagome fixed her hair a little and went over to the door. Her mothers voice called out to her from downstairs again. "Come on." Kagome opened the door and fixed her clothes to make them less disheveled.

Inuyasha followed Kagome out the door and down the steps. Kizoku, Shin, Sota, and Gramps were all in the kitchen and Kizoku had a couple bags of fast food with her.

"Kagome there you are." Mrs. Higurashi (Kizoku) stated. Kagome nodded.

"Why are you back so soon?" Kagome questioned. "Did something happen?"

"It's pouring dear. Didn't you notice?"

"Oh, ah." Kagome blushed a little. She had been to caught up with Inuyasha to notice the rain and thunder, which had only succeeded in igniting the passion between the two. "No." I was watching TV."

"Oh... k." Kizoku unpacked the foods. "We brought home the food. We figured you two would be hungry too."

"Thanks." Kagome stepped forward, but felt a pulled on her waist. She looked down to see two clawed hands holding her. She looked back at Inuyasha and was grateful her parents couldn't see the way Inuyasha was holding her since he was around the corner and not visible to them. "What?" She whispered in question.

"That food smells weird. Can't we just have ramen?" Inuyasha gave Kagome the puppy dog pout. Kagome pulled Inuyasha hands off of her waist.

"Come on. They went to the trouble of buying it. Eat it." Kagome had no doubts Inuyasha might dislike the food. It was probably a little fancier than fast food, ramen, and rice. Another whine was heard from her companion. She sighed. "Alright stop complaining. Go upstairs and I'll bring you some ramen later." Inuyasha nodded and left for the stairs.

Kagome walked fully into the kitchen.

"Where's Inuyasha?" Sota asked.

"He's not hungry.. he's not feeling well." Kagome lied.

"Oh, that's to bad. What's wrong with him?" Kizoku asked. Kagome became a little more nervous.

"He.. didn't say.. his stomach is just acting up."

"Will he need medicine?"

"No.. he can handle it. He's a half demon remember?"

"Alright. Take a seat and I'll heat up the meal." Kagome nodded and took her seat.

Kagome was quiet through the whole meal. Her mind was stuck on the earlier events between Inuyasha and her. She could feel her ears burning at the mere thought. She wanted him and he had looks so good with his half exposed chest and perfectly tan skin. His amber eyes stared wholes into her. She had gotten lost in his beauty. He was extremely handsome and she wouldn't mind more of those kisses.

"Kagome, are you alright?" Shin's voice drilled her from her thoughts. She looked at her father. "You're playing with your food and your face is sort of red."

"Oh ah.. I'm just not as hungry as I thought. May I be excused." Kagome stood up.

"Of course dear." Mrs. Higurashi gave her a look of concern. Kagome began to wash her dish. "I'll get that."

"Alright thanks."

Later

Kagome handed Inuyasha his ramen. Everyone else was asleep at this point. Inuyasha was sitting up on Kagome's bed. His amber eyes could easily be seen through the dark area. The only light in the room was the moonlight.

Inuyasha took half a second to stare at his food and 3.3 seconds to finish eating it. He slurped up the rest. Kagome was sitting on the floor. She was leaning against the bed with her arms under her head for support.

"I'm thirsty. I'm going to go get a drink." Inuyasha stood up.

"No. They think you're sick." Kagome took the plate from his hands. "If they see you up they'll know you're not sick. If they see me I could just say I wanted a late night snack."

"Whatever."

"So you want some water?"

"How about some of that soda stuff?"

"Ug. It's late, but whatever." Kagome left the room and headed downstairs. She hummed a small tune as she walked down the steps. She wasn't very tired. She had a lot to think about. 'So, Inuyasha told me he loves me. I guess that means no more Kikyo.' Kagome got down the steps and started for the kitchen. She suddenly heard someone's voice. She peaked into the kitchen and saw that back of her fathers head. "Hmm?"

"Kagome, I know you're there." Kagome was a little surprised and walked fully into the kitchen.

"Dad?" Kagome began to smell something. 'Beer?' Her eyes widened a little. 'Oh no.. he's drunk.' Kagome backed away a little. She had no wants of dealing with him drunk. He had rarely gotten drunk when she was little and it led to problems each time. He had even hit her mother a few times back than.

"Kagome are you walking away?" Shin turned to face her. He was glaring a little. He stood up and began to back Kagome up. He pushed her so she was sitting in the kitchen chair. "Now listen here. I had traveled for two years.." He was a little shaky and coughed.

"Dad, you're drunk. You should get to bed.." The glass bowl Kagome had been carrying fell and shattered.

"Listen I said!" Kagome flinched and backed into the chair a little more feeling some fear. "Two years of traveling and I accomplished nothing. I saw death after death and harassment and torture. This country is not as wonderful as people think it is." He glowered at his daughter. "You.."

"You really should get some rest..." Kagome felt a hard, fast pain on her fast. Her father had hit her. She held her face and began to tear a little. "You need.." Her heart skipped a beat as her fathers hand went to her shoulder and pushed her back. The chair flipped over and her head slammed into the ground. She shrieked in pain.

"Bastard!" Inuyasha's voice was heard and slammed his fist into Shin's back, causing the man to go tumbling to the ground.

Mrs. Higurashi came running down the steps. All the commotion had roused her from her sleep.

"You." Inuyasha picked up Shin and held him by the collar. He stared daggers into Kagome's father. "Ever hit her again and she will be the last thing you EVER lay a hand on. I can guarantee you that much." Inuyasha tossed the man to the side and went straight to Kagome. She was crying. "Kagome." Inuyasha pulled her up onto his lap. "Are you alright?"

"My head." Kagome moaned and felt Inuyasha's hand press into her head. There would be a bump there, but that was all. She was grateful the floor had not cracked her head open. She leaned deeper into her beloved.

"What's going on here?" Kizoku asked. Kagome looked to her mother, set on explaining.

I decided that this story WILL NOT have very much drama, so I am adding the little it will have now.
