Chapter 2

He now always followed me. He would be standing in a near by tree as I taught the village children what plants were medicinal and what poisoness . He never was too far away. He was always by my side, like a loyal friend. We had a secret truth. I wouldn't shoot him anymore if he wouldn't go after it. Pity, I miss playing the game. But I'd rather be around him everyday than to shoot him.

The villagers were saying we were attached at the hip. One was never seen without the other. This was quite true. We never dared to leave each other if we could help it. He would sleep in the tree outside my room. We'd talked until the sunrise would come. I felt like he really understood me.

Everyday we would meet in the open field were he first knew that he could trust me. I could tell that he loved me, even if he wouldn't tell me. If you looked past his hard core exterior and deeply into his amber eyes you could see a small trace of love. It was hard to see and hard to tell, but you just knew. At least I hoped. He would hardly ever show his emotion even to me. I could tell he's had a hard life. People his whole life said he was nothing but a half-breed. He'll tell me when he is ready to open up to me.

Sometimes I would get mad at him. He would never touch me. I know I'm a priestess, but I want a little affection, just some reinsurance that I loved him for a reason. I wanted to pour my heart and soul into him, but I shouldn't. It could backfire on me. What if he doesn't love me? What if he didn't even care about me? What if he loves me, but then falls out of love with me? I would die. He would know all my secrets and my weaknesses. No, no, stop thinking that way Kikyo. It's just all in your mind. This is Inuyasha you're talking about. He would never do that.

Years felt like days with Inuyasha around. It felt like we just met. I finally had a reason to get up in the morning. I was so happy, but couldn't show it. We both never showed each other how we felt. That's why we were so perfect together. We understood each other and never questioned it.

Spring quickly turned into fall. He always questioned me on the Shikon no Tama. We spoke about it for a couple of times, but most of the time I tried to change the subject. Sometimes he asked question about himself.

"Kikyo? Do you think I'm human?"

"Yes, well only half. But it doesn't matter if you are human or not to me." He gave me a weak smile and went back to his usually gloomy mysteries self. I stood up that night thinking over and over about what Inuyasha had said. 'Do you think I'm human?' I sighed and leaned over on my side. Why did he ask me that? Usually he would ask me about the Shikon no Tama. At that moment I came up with a brilliant idea. I ran the theory through Inuyasha first before trying it. We were on a little island in the middle of the lake. I used to come here as a child pretending that I didn't have to take care of the Shikon no Tama and that I could live the life of a normal little girl.

"Inuyasha. When you asked me if you thought if you were human it made me think of something. Do you wish to become human?"

"Of coarse not, I want to be a demon."

"But if you become human you and I can be together."

"Me become a human?"

"It's possible. It's true you are half demon, but you are also half human. If the sacred jewel of the four souls were to fall into the hands of a demon their powers would undoubtedly increase. However if it were used to turn you into a human it would be purified. The jewel of the four souls probably cease to exits."

"And then what? What will happen to you?"

"My duty is to protect the jewel. With out it I could live my life as an ordinary woman." Inuyasha stared at me straight in the eyes. I could now see the deep love he felt for me. I melted under his gaze.

"I wish to be with you. I can live with you as a human. I will live the rest of my life with you. This is the kind of life I have been waiting for. Kikyo. Once this is done will you marry me?"(Wow this is fast considering they haven't even kissed yet.) He stood up and stared deeply into her chocolate color eyes. His hair was gleaming from the sunset behind us. It made him look so beautiful.

He leaned forward slowly; feeling awkward about what he was going to do. He couldn't do it, he just couldn't do it. I decided I'll do it. I stood on my toes and kissed his lushes lips. (There we go.) I had never felt this way before. We broke and stared at each other. He grabbed me and held me tight.

"I love you, Kikyo." I buried my face into his shoulder. I was crying from all the joy that was filling up my insides. He had said he loved me. He hugged me tighter as I looked upon his face. I finally gave in.

"Please, Inuyasha, take me." At my words I can feel his arms tighten around me and a low growl rumbles in his chest. The vibrations felt so good. I looked at him and I could see the sadness in his eyes. I knew he was uncertain, so to reassure him I smiled gently and reached out my hand to hold his.

He took my hand and pulls me into him tighter. He looks deep into my eyes and raises a clawed hand to caress my cheek. His thumb skims over my lower lip and he lowers his head to trace its path with his tongue. I sucked in my breath as the sensation he created sends shivers and ripples down my spine.

Gently he pressed his lips against mine, while still holding my hand and caressing my face with his other hand. He lifted his head from the sweet kiss and begins to undo his clothes. He spreads it out on the grass, with the soft side up so not to ruin my perfect skin. Slowly he leaned me over to lie upon it, him joining me by my side. We laid there gazing into each others eyes.

He reached both hands up and cupped my face in his palms. He smoothed over my eyebrows with his thumbs, letting them drift down to gently close my eyes. I felt him lean in and rubbed his nose against mine. I felt his breath against my cheek before his soft tongue began to lightly trace my upper lip. My lips parted as I gasped and he slid inside my mouth with a sensual gentleness that causes my stomach to churn. It was like he was dancing. With every move he was perfectly in time.

He threaded his hands through my hair, and I tilted my head back slightly to give him an easier access to my mouth. His kisses were slow and soft, like he was exploring my mouth for the first time and wanted to memorize every inch of it. I return the kiss to him as I rubbed his stiff chest.

He pushed me onto my back and began to cover my face with kisses, eventually trailing down to my neck. I reached up and pressed my hands against his chest, feeling his stiff muscles straining against me.

His tongue danced over my pounding pulse and it began to howl in my ears. A gentle moan escaped from my lips as he nipped at it lightly. He deftly began to undo my clothes, covering every inch of my newly exposed skin with hot tender kisses. He gets me to sit up just for a moment, in order for me to slip my arms out of the clothes, before he tossed it aside on the grass.

His claws skim over my ribcage as I moaned with the heat that was becoming more intense at the apex of my thighs. He dived lower down to my body, and I could hear him undoing my pants. I lifted my hips to allow him to push them down my legs. I am only dressed in my underwear now. I opened one eye to see him beginning to lavish my neck with more enchanting licks and kisses.

I gasp as I felt his hand trail across my collar bone, as he touched my soft breast. He licked father down my shoulder following its path with small nips and he pinned my arms to my side. He retrieves my mouth in another passionate kiss as he slowly tugged at me, telling me that he wanted me to lean up against him. While he was still kissing me he cupped his hands around one of my breast caressing it.

He trailed kisses down my neck and collar bone, and I began to moan loudly as I realized what he was going to do next. His sharp fangs skimmed over the top of my hard nipple, causing me to tremble with delight and pleasure. His tongue licked across it, lashing the crown with its heat. I began to sigh as he brought up his hand to caress my other breast. He drew my sensitive flesh into his mouth and my body to arches against his, wanting more. I couldn't believe how good this felt.

My petite hands reached up into his hair as I gently rubbed his ears. I knew that would drive him crazy. He began to growl and the vibration ran through my entire body. He switched his attention to the other breast as his hand trailed down my stomach only to slide past my wanting flesh and came to a rest on the top of my thigh. So close, yet so far. Why does he tease me like this?

He left my breasts only to begin a, what seemed like forever, journey down my stomach, only stopping to lash his tongue into my tender belly button. I let out a shudder as he nipped the underside of my belly right above my panty line. Both his hands had settled themselves on my hips, while mine were fisted at my sides. My body was yearning with desire, but he wasn't done having his fun yet.

I felt the hot path of his tongue as it slipped under my underwear, teasing me with its presences. I growled in the back of my throat and I heard a pleasurable growl from him. Inuyasha tore off my underwear off me.

He kisses and licks his way between my knees, breathing in my scent deeply. I was so wet now and I knew that I was pooling on his robe beneath me but I didn't care. My hands found their way back into his hair, this time to hold him against me as pleasure rages in the pit of my stomach.

He slipped two fingers into me gently and began to thrust slowly. He carefully built the fire in my body, increasing his rhythm slowly and methodically. I writhed with pleasure and need; my moans became louder with every thrust. The sensations churning inside my body until finally the hard knot in my stomach shattered and sparks fly throughout my body. I had released.

I threw back my head and screamed and it felt like my skin was on fire as the most wonderful sensations went through my body. As it ebbed I become aware that Inuyasha had moved away to finish disrobing himself, but before I could mourn my loss, he was back and covered me with his lean body.

I parted my legs to allow him access and I could feel his tip nudging against me. He entwined his fingers with mine, holding my hands above my head. He lowered his mouth giving me a deep kiss while he teased my entrance. I sighed against his lips, my hips shifted with need. He lifted his head to look down at me; his amber eyes looked deep into mine as he slid his dick into me with one gentle stroke.

He began to move within me slowly. I eased my legs up around his hips and gasped as it allowed him deeper access. He began to thrust with more powerfully, the whole time looking into my eyes, never letting go of my hands. I felt the heat begin to build again inside of me and I moved my hips against his drawing him deeper.

His brow began to furrow and his body glistens with sweat. I could feel the tensing in his lower back and I knew he was near the edge. This knowledge brought me closer to my own release. Within a few more thrusts we fall over the edge together, still holding hands and looking into each others eyes.

When it was over he leaned down and kissed me gently once more before rolling over to pull me up against his chest. In the safe security of his arms I thought about what has just happened. Never before has he shown me such tenderness. This made me happy. Maybe he would show me more of his feelings more often. With that thought I feel asleep in his arms quickly.

That morning I woke up in his arms. I looked at his face to find that he was staring back at me. We got dressed and rowed back to the village before the villagers realized we had been gone all night.
