Chapter 35

As Kagome had expected, she got no sleep that night. Walking back to their home after a wild, explosive night, Kagome still felt like she could go a few more rounds. As she leaned into Inuyasha's warm embrace, she wondered how in the world she still felt excited.

Kagome made breakfast and nursed Kohana before checking on Yoshi. She was less worried about him since he refused to stay off of his bad leg, but he appeared more worried about her.

"Are you alright Kagome?", he asked when she arrived at his hut.

"Never better. Why do you ask?"

"I'm sorry, but I heard you and the half-demon arguing last night."

"He has a name ... Inuyasha. And we always argue. I'm used to it."

"I would never argue with you, Kagome. He should treat you with more respect."

"Well, if you would never argue with me we would have a very dull relationship. And never judge Inuyasha by what you see or hear. You need to get to know him and I know him very very well."

"Did he hurt you last night? I saw him carrying you off and you appeared to be struggling with him."

Kagome was quickly growing tired of his interrogations. "No, Yoshi. He didn't hurt me. I wasn't seriously struggling. We were playing ... we were playing a game. That's all."

"How can you defend someone like him? Demons are dangerous creatures and they don't belong with humans."

"Yoshi ... I suggest you stop thinking of me like that. I am happily married and I am in love with Inuyasha. Do you understand?"

"I understand that obviously he has brainwashed you into believing that. Demons are good at that, I heard."

Kagome sighed in exasperation and left shaking her head. She decided to stop wasting her breath. Yoshi was beyond hope.

Later that day, bored and hot (in more ways than one), Kagome asked Inuyasha to watch over her while she cooled off in the water. She stripped down to her birthday suit and dove in the water, enjoying the cold mountain spring. Taking quick notice that no one (namely Yoshi) was watching, she pulled herself up on the rock in the middle of the small river and rubbed her hands over her body, knowing full well that the man she wanted to be watching her, Inuyasha, was. It wasn't long before her coy movements had the full attention of her husband, who was quickly on the rock beside her. As her husband arrived, her legs spread open, allowing his nose to get the full scent of her arousal.

Inuyasha settled himself between her legs, opening her up like an oyster to discover his pearl. As he licked and suckled, she wrapped her legs around his head, fully enjoying the attention she was receiving. Moaning her approval to his ministrations, she lovingly stroked his ears, setting off the sensual growl of approval from him. Inuyasha was lost in his own world, drinking his fill of her sweet juices that her orgasms released. Kagome forgot all about Yoshi and his questions and she lost herself in her pleasures. As the couple enjoyed their time together, their paradise was disturbed by the slash of a sword.

"Get you filthy hands off of her, you beast!", a voice shouted as Inuyasha felt a sword blade rip through his right arm.

Kagome screamed and jumped into the water to cover her naked body as Inuyasha snarled his disapproval at being interrupted, flexing his claws and baring his fangs in a ferocious growl, as he ripped the sword from its location deep in his arm. The source of the voice, Yoshi, stood his ground even though Inuyasha's actions terrified him.

"Yoshi, you fool, get out of here before Inuyasha tears you to threads. Never interrupt a mating demon!", Kagome yelled at him.

Inuyasha's eyes flashed a dangerous red as he attacked the source of the interruption, sending the young man flying through the air. Kagome wrapped herself around his body, attempting to calm him, before he killed the helpless human.

"Please Inuyasha, stop! I beg you. Don't do this! He's human - he's no match for you.", Kagome cried out, hoping to reach past the angered demon that had emerged. Thankfully, she felt his body relax as he returned to his normal state, but still thoroughly pissed off.

"Get him outta here before I do something I'll regret! Now Kagome!", Inuyasha insisted, as he handed Kagome his hitoe to cover herself and stalked back to the house, staring at the injured human with a look that could kill.

Kagome ran to Yoshi and demanded,

"Why did you do that? That was stupid, Yoshi!"

"He doesn't deserve you, Kagome. Look at him, he's dangerous.", Yoshi said as he tried to get up. Inuyasha had obviously done some damage.

"Shippou! Come here!", Kagome called to the young fox demon.

"What is it Kagome?", though he didn't really have to ask. Inuyasha's rage had attracted him and Yasha to investigate. From experience, Yasha knew never to interrupt his parents and only laughed at the audacity of the "stupid human".

"Shippou, hurry up back to Kaede's village and get Kirara. I don't think Yoshi can walk. Have Kirara take him to Kaede's. He's safer there."

"Ok", Shippou said, then, "TRANSFORM!", he said as he became his pink bubble and floated away.

"I won't leave without you, Kagome. I would die for you."

"Then you will die in vain. You will go to Kaede. She will take care of you until you can travel again."

Yoshi began to argue, when Inuyasha intervened,

"You will listen to her or you will find yourself without a major part of your anatomy!", Inuyasha said, as he flexed his claws and eyed between Yoshi's legs, "If I had my way, you wouldn't even get a ride from Kirara. But, I know I won't have a say in that matter, so be glad you're getting the treatment you're getting!", and with that, Inuyasha returned to the house.

Kirara showed up and Yoshi left without further incident. But Yoshi made a promise to himself. He would get his revenge on Inuyasha for what Inuyasha had done to him and Kagome.
