Hallo all! Next chap-e-twa (love that) and its back with full lemony force (NOTE WORDS WITH CAUTION) this chapter is going to be looooong, and full of lemons, oral and all. I wanted to explain the italicized talking in inu's brain. The light italicization is his youkai, and the bold is hanyou. It says so when he first starts talking in the first chappie, so if you don't believe me or have the time, go back and check it out.

Ok, I have something to tell everybody. I know this post took a while to put up, but there was a reason. It's a bit selfish… but…

Everybody join in now, 1 2 3- Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to Kristin aka Ka-lyrra------------, haaaaapppyyyy birrrtthhddaaayyyy toooooo youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Kagome: (jumps up and down) YAY! Happy birthday Kristin.

Inuyasha: (silence)

Kagome: (pinches Inuyasha)

Inuyasha: Ouch (rubbing sore spot) what was that for bitch?

Kagome: Don't be rude, and don't call me a bitch! Tell her happy birthday!

Inuyasha: (mumbles) happybirthdaykristin (whispers) wench

Kagome: Inuyasha I'll say the magic word if you don't say it right!

Inuyasha: You can't do that Kagome, or we'll never get this next chapter done… which, by the way, I'm going to kill whoever is with you! Who the hell says "sweet Kagome" anymore? Keh, loser.

Kagome: Fine, since we want the chapter finished… if you don't behave, no more Ramen!

Inuyasha: (forced smile) happy birthday Kristin! Great another 15 year old… Now give me Ramen!

Chapter 8: Sex, Love, and Shirt Ties

Previously: Kagome jumped as she heard her bathroom door open.

"Ah, lovely Kagome," the figure said, stepping into the bathroom. Kagome gasped loudly. Closing the door, he said, "I shall have you, my sweet."

"What the… KOUGA GET OUT OF HERE!" Kagome sunk lower into the water, causing the water to spill over the side of the tub.

Chuckling softly, Kouga took a step closer to the tub, wishing he could've seen what the bubbles concealed.

Ignoring her order, he leaned forward. He could smell her, even with her bathing. "Kagome, Kagome, you don't think I'd leave you to dog-shit, did you? He couldn't take care of you, and I-" he broke off as he caught another scent surrounding her. This wasn't right. Kagome always smelled of white plum and lilacs, and of course her young womanly scent, but now there was another…

His eyes widened as he identified the scent. Looking at her, his nostrils flaring, he shouted, "Why the hell is dog-shit's scent so strong?" He waited for an answer, but even without a reply he could figure it out himself, because a deep red began to color her face from hairline to chin. "YOU FUCKING MATED WITH HIM!"

Looking puzzled, and a little offended, and forgetting her nudity, Kagome stiffened and sat up, "Kouga, what are you-"

She was cut off by the knock on the bathroom door. "Kagome," she heard her mother's voice coming through the door, "is everything ok? I thought I heard someone shouting."

Looking at Kouga, seeing him seething with rage, Kagome decided it was best for her mother not to know he was here. Sending her away, Kagome said, "Kouga, how did you get here?"

Again, ignoring her, Kouga walked swiftly to loom over her. Without warning, he reached down and grabbed her wrists, then pulled her up to stand up straight. Kouga held both wrists in one hand, and then used the other one to wrap her hair roughly around her hair, moving it aside. Seeing the bite mark only enraged him more. "Kagome, I can't believe you did this to me. You were mine," he said, his voice low and gruff.

"Kouga, I was never-" Kouga cut off her words with a hard kiss. It was bruising and rough, meant to claim, to brand, but Kagome felt no spark. Not like with Inuyasha.

Pulling back, Kouga, breathing heavily, said hoarsely, "what about that Kagome? How can you deny what is between us?" He looked at her with unfiltered pain in his sapphire eyes.

Kagome placed a soothing hand on his arm. She should be upset with him now, for barging into her home, then assaulting her, but somehow she could understand him. How he felt when loving someone with everything, and not receiving that love in return. "Kouga, we never had anything. I don't love you that way, maybe as a friend, but nothing more. There was never anything more, I swear."

She wasn't prepared for the feral look in his eyes. It was pure anger, the fire burning in them. And, as she looked closer, she saw what seemed to be jealousy. But she didn't get a chance to see for long, because he roughly threw her over his shoulder and stormed out into her room. Throwing her onto the bed, he followed her down and pinned her to the mattress. "Kagome, did you mark him?"

Afraid, and a little angry, she asked, "what do you mean 'mark'?"

Looking at the mark on her neck, he replied, "A demon bites you on the neck to claim you as his mate. If you bit him back, then you are forever his mate, but if you haven't…" he trailed off.

Kagome was beginning to see red. So, Inuyasha hadn't only had sex with her, he had mated her. And on top of it he hadn't told her about it, or asked her! She was beginning to hate the male species. "No, Kouga, I haven't."

Kagome watched as his face broke into an evil grin. Leaning down, he began to nuzzle her neck. Kagome hissed as if in pain. "Kouga, stop!" She began to buck and squirm underneath him.

She could feel his smile against her neck. "Did you know, Kagome, that I could claim you now?"

Kagome stopped instantly. What did he just say?

As if reading her thoughts, he gently licked the bite mark Inuyasha had made. "Yes, Kagome, it's true, because you didn't leave your mark on him. That would've combined your bodies, your blood." Again he laved her neck. "But because you didn't," he said as he gently scraped his fangs against her tender skin. Then he pulled back and stared into her deep brown eyes. "Now, Kagome, you shall be mine. No one will ever have you but me." With that, he barred his fangs and leaned down to press them against her neck. She could feel them breaking her skin.

"Alright, Kagome, dammit! You're my fucking mate and I've come to-" she heard the ranting from her window. Kouga suddenly went tense and rolled off of her to land on the floor in a feral crouch. Turning, she saw Inuyasha standing stiffly next to the window, staring lethally at Kouga, his fangs showing, eyes once again the deep shade of red, and the demon marks clearly revealed. "Did he hurt you," she heard him growl lowly, never removing his eyes from the wolf demon.

She didn't get to answer, because suddenly Kouga came out of his crouch to lunge at Inuyasha. Grabbing the wolf in midair, Inuyasha turned and threw him into her wall, making the wolf demon grunt in pain. Inuyasha reached and grabbed his hair, wrenched him up to stand straight, then slammed his clawed fist into Kouga's stomach. Again and again he continued to pummel him, until he reared back and hurled Kouga into the wall again, causing it to give-way, leaving a gaping hole in the wall.

"Stop it!" Kagome tried to reach one of them, but Kouga was hurting, and Inuyasha was too angry to hear her.

How dare that fucking piece of ass try to take my Kagome!

Our Kagome, Inuyasha. Let me help! Let the youkai inside of you make you stronger.

No, dammit, stay out of this! This is my problem, I will finish this.

Inuyasha was stalking over to Kouga, until his youkai self said quietly, He bit her.

Inuyasha stopped cold. Turning around, he stared at Kagome. Completely forgetting the wolf, he walked over to the bed, grabbed her by her upper arms, and moved her hair aside to see another bite mark next to his. Everything began to go hazy.

"Inuyasha? Inuyasha are you ok?" Kagome reached up to cup his cheek in her hand.

Looking at her through glazed eyes, he began to shake with withheld rage. He had bitten her, Kouga had claimed her. She was no longer his mate. Gripping her arms harder, he turned his head away from her hand, and glared at her. "Kagome, did you bite him? DID YOU MATE HIM!"

Kagome drew back, not liking the way he was acting. His voice sounded different, like there were a couple of voices talking at once. Hearing Kouga shift and moan brought her back, and she said firmly, "No Inuyasha, I didn't mate him."

"Oh, but you probably wanted to! You were going to, weren't you?" His grip tightened and she cried out in pain.

"NO, Inuyasha, I didn't! I didn't mate him, I don't want him!"

"How can I believe you? How do I know you're not lying to me?"

"Because I love you!"

Abruptly Inuyasha was pulled away from her and slung through the bathroom door. Kouga leaped onto Inuyasha and rammed his fist into his Inuyasha's face. Inuyasha in turn drew his knees up to his chest and pushed Kouga off of him and out the door.

There was a sudden banging on the door again. "Kagome!" Her mother's voice shouted through the door. "Open up this instant! I hear something in there!"

"Inuyasha," Kagome rushed into the bathroom. Seeing Kouga on top of him, blood everywhere, she grabbed Kouga and tried to pull him off, only to be slung aside.

"Hey," Inuyasha yelled, "don't touch my mate!"

"Your mate? She's mine now!"

"I won't be anyone's mate if you don't get out of my house! Mom's coming!"

Growling ferociously, Inuyasha finally managed to kick Kouga off of him. Standing up, he grabbed him by the hair and dragged him over to the window. Tossing him carelessly out, he wasn't prepared for Kouga to latch on to his arm, effectively causing Inuyasha to fall too.

While Kagome was dealing with her mom, the two demons continued to fight in the yard. Inuyasha ran out at Kouga, claws going for his neck. Kouga ducked low and kicked out his leg. Inuyasha jumped, missing said leg, only to have Kouga shift and kick up with his other leg, landing his foot into Inuyasha's jaw. Inuyasha flew back into the shack with which the well was inside.

Seeing Kouga running for him, Inuyasha waited until he was right before him, and then leaped up backwards onto the roof of the shed. Kouga kept running and ran threw the door. Inuyasha swung down and joined him. Drawing his Tetsiaga, Inuyasha faced Kouga with a feral look in his eye. "What gave you the right to touch her?"

Kouga snapped back, "She wasn't fully mated. She obviously hadn't wanted you if she hadn't finished the bonding."

Inuyasha growled at that, and swung his sword at Kouga. Jumping back, Kouga landed on the side of the well. "What's this? Dog-shit can't get his mate?" He threw back his head and laughed. "You are just a pup. I can see that she wants a man, not some one who still needs to be weaned."

Again Inuyasha swung out. "No, you ass, she just didn't know!"

"You weren't even smart enough to tell her?" Tsking, Kouga grinned wickedly. "Well, that proves it right there. And by midnight tonight, even without her bite, she'll be mine."

"Keh, wolf, you'll never be able to touch her after I'm through with you." Inuyasha raised his sword. "And, you stupid fur ball, at least I know how to do this!" Bringing his sword down, he yelled "WIND SCAR". The well under Kouga broke into pieces, causing Kouga to fall backwards.

"Damn you Inuyasha!" The screams echoed for a few seconds before fading away. Hopefully, thought Inuyasha, for good.

Sheathing the Tetsiaga, Inuyasha sprinted back to the house. Back to Kagome.


"Sango, come, we cannot wait here all day."

"We'll wait here all week if we have to. I want to see Kagome again."

Sighing, Miroku lay back against the grass and stared up into the midday sky. Sango had insisted on coming back to find Inuyasha, and when there had been no trace of him, she had stormed off to the Bone-Eater's Well to wait for Kagome's return, thinking Inuyasha might be with her. No matter how many times he had begged her to leave, she had refused.

So now they were sitting under the midday sun, Miroku dosing off, and Sango sitting straight and alert, clutching her Hiraikotsu.

At least, until they felt the ground shake, then a bright light came from the well. Sitting up, he found Sango already standing in a striking pose. A heartbeat later, they heard a steady stream of curses coming from the well, and then a blur flew from the opening.

"Kouga?" Miroku stared at the wolf demon. He was covered with what looked to be claw marks, and even some looked to be bite marks. There were bruises and blood everywhere. "How did you-"

"Damn Inuyasha," said Kouga, not even noticing the monk and demon slayer. "Fuck this, if she wants him, I'm through chasing her. She can just come to me if she wants to." With that said, he turned and sped off, a tornado in his wake.

Sango stood stiffly, eyes closed in what seemed to be exasperation. "Miroku?"

Not liking the sound of her voice, he replied, "Yes Sango?"

"If he touches her, he's doomed to an eternity of hell."


A/N: And here, my friends, is where I would usually leave you hanging. But, as I'm feeling generous, I would like to go ahead and put in the first ending to this story. I have so enjoyed writing it, it was absolutely fun and I hope you enjoyed it as well. But, never fear, I still have one more chapter after this… please, continue. (I'd recommend a stretching session, because it's already been 6 pages)

Inuyasha found a silent Kagome kneeling on her bathroom floor, now wrapped in a bathrobe, cleaning the blood from the tiles. Coming up behind her, he could feel her tenseness and confusion. Most of all her sadness.

And he could smell the mark left by Kouga.

Would she come back to him? Would she want to be with Kouga? What would he do without her?

And then he remembered her declaration of love. He felt a twinge of hope sparking inside of him. Maybe, if she really did love him, it would be alright. Maybe if he told her…

Walking to her side, he lowered himself to squat next to her. Taking the cloth from her hand, he sat silently and waited for a reaction. Kagome stared at the floor for sometime, her hair curtaining her face from him.

"Kagome-" he started.

"Inuyasha, is it true? Did you mate me?" Still she would not show her face.

"Yes," he said, no longer wanting anything between them. "I mated you. But you have to know-"

"Why didn't you tell me? You didn't even give me a choice." He could hear the tears in her voice. Placing two fingers under her chin, he tilted her face towards his. Her eyes were swollen and red, holding unshed tears in check.

"Kagome, I wanted it. I wanted you. You have to know this." She had to know, had to know that he felt for her as he had never felt for another. Not even Kikyo. No, this was deeper than Kikyo.

"What do I have to know Inuyasha? That you used me? That you-" he cut her off with a searing kiss. She struggled against him for a bit, but he refused to let her go. He continued to trace her lips with his tongue, silently asking for permission, for forgiveness. Finally, he felt her relax, then as she parted her lips, he felt his heart soar, and then took his time pleasuring himself as well as her. Their tongues mated and danced together, stroking together as only lover could do.

Pulling back, he saw the glazed look in her eyes again. The same look she had when in the heat of passion. Thanking Buddha, he used his thumbs to trace her swollen-kissed lips. "Keh, idiot, you have to know that I love you." And with that said, he leaned in to take her in another heart stopping kiss.

Picking her up into his arms, he carried her to the bed. Tossing her onto it, he leaned over her. The feel of her supple body under his, her breasts pressing against his chest, was the most heavenly thing he had ever experienced. He continued to kiss her mouth, cheeks, nose, eyelids, and anywhere else he could find that was bare. "You have to know how much you are to me," he whispered into her ear, right before he traced it with his tongue. He felt her shiver, and chuckling, continued to stroke said ear. Plunging his tongue into her ear, he heard her breathy moan.

"Inuyasha," she breathed out huskily. "Inuyasha…"

Pulling back, he looked again upon her face, clearly liking the pleasure plainly shown. With a low, satisfied laugh, he pressed his thumb against her bottom teeth and forced her mouth open wide, clamped his hands on the sides of her face, taking her in an open-mouthed, deep-tongued kiss. Where he learned to kiss, she didn't know, but she didn't think much of it as he continued his wonderful assault. Slow, deep kisses, erotic nips with his teeth, his mouth gliding, slipping and sliding over hers. He caught her lower lip and tugged lazily away, returned to catch it again, then slanted his mouth firmly over hers, plundering. He nibbled, he sucked, he consumed.

Moving to untie the bathrobe, he barred her breasts to his hungry gaze. He slid his hands up her stomach to the pair, palming them roughly. Yes, she thought, oh yes. He was making her vulnerable and limp, his touches igniting a flame in the lower part of her body. She should've been mad at him. She shouldn't have let him take her this way, but after what he had told her, that he loved her…

She was melting into a puddle of soft heat by his hands. He cupped her breasts, kneading and plumping, tugging at her nipples between his fingers, turning them into hard little pearls. His breath was hot against her skin as he ran the tip of his tongue up her neck, to nibble again at the base of her ear.

Hearing someone walking outside her door brought her back to herself. "Wait. S-stop--"

"Too late, Kagome."

He cupped her intimately between her legs after discarding the robe, pressing the heel of his palm hard against the vee between her thighs, and she cried out from the exquisite pleasure of his touch there, where she was feeling strangely empty and aching. His breathing rapid and heavy he began to move his hand in perfect rhythm against her clit. He growled low as he slid two fingers inside of her. Feeling her convulse around those fingers, he began to thrust them against her. Back and forth, in and out. Faster, faster, faster.

Kagome felt her breath catch in her throat. Her hips arched to meet his fingers, and she felt her ecstasy mounting with every thrust he impaled upon her. And, with one gentle nip at the base of her neck from Inuyasha, she fell into a blinding light of pleasure. He covered her mouth as she screamed into his mouth, so as not for anyone else to hear. Even after she had finished spasming, he continued to pleasure her with his fingers. Then, pulling out, he began to shed his clothes.

"Kagome, dammit, I can't wait anymore." He paused as he finished taking the rest of his horrai off. "Will you take me Kagome? All of me?" Looking straight at her, his heart in his eyes, he said quietly, "Will you be my mate, love?"

Shocked by his words, she sat and looked at him. He used soft words for her on that last declaration, and it was so unlike him, it made her heart swell all the more. Looking at her Inuyasha, with his big amber eyes, long, silver hair, and little dog ears, she felt the love for him grow even more. He wanted her, and she wanted him. There was nothing more to be said.

And she could always rant him later.

Scooting closer to him, not believing what she was about to do, she placed her hands against his chest and pushed him backwards. Running over to her dresser, she pulled out three shirt ties from her uniforms, then ran back to sit next to him on the bed. Her friends had talked about doing these things with their boyfriends, and she had always blushed furiously when hearing the stories. But now she felt the need to try it with Inuyasha.

"What are you doing," he asked as she tied two of them around his ankles.

Tying them to the bed posts, she returned to him and straddled his waste. He felt so good in between her thighs, his bare stomach rubbing against her core. Where she got the courage to do this, she wouldn't question, because she wanted to finish this. Taking both of his wrists, she tied them together, then tied them above his head to the head board. "Watch and see," she said teasingly.

Scooting down his body, she sat between his spread legs. She ran her fingers down his chest, over his abdomen, and then down his legs, delighting in the goose bumps that followed. He began to writhe in pleasure.

Then laying herself between his legs, she gently took his sac into her mouth.

He growled loudly at the feel of her tongue licking the tenderest part of his body. Her mouth closed around him as her tongue swirled, licking and delving as she worked her way to the other side, where she tenderly rolled her tongue around him.

Inuyasha gripped and pulled against the restraining ties on his hands as waves of pleasure racked him. Nothing had ever felt better than her mouth on him or her tongue darting over his skin.

When she was done licking him there, she moved to his hard shaft. Inuyasha strained against the ties as she closed her mouth around him, all the while watching him watch her.

She dropped her head down to tease the tip of his manhood with said tongue. His breath caught as she swirled her tongue around the tip, then took his entire length into her mouth. His head swam from pleasure while her hand continued to stroke him from underneath. He hissed and jerked at how good she felt. Instinctively, he arched his back, sending himself deeper into her mouth. She pulled back, and then impaled him again and again.

The feel of her mouth around him, her tongue swirling, her sucking on him with every thrust, sent him over the blissful edge of his orgasm. He came in her mouth, but she didn't protest. Moving back, she looked up at him, seeing his eyes closed in wonder and absolute satiation.

Then he looked up at her, his eyes a dark whiskey color. "Kagome, I want you. I have to have you. Now."

"Do I get the magic word?" She asked this as she began to crawl up his body. She was tracing circles about is nipples, hearing his breath become raspy.

"Kagome…" he trailed of when she leaned down to take that nipple into her mouth.

"Inuyasha?" She pulled back.

He only lasted a few moments, then said, with an adorable whine, "Please?"

A grin splitting her face, she moved to straddle his waste, and moved to guide his already hard shaft into her. When inside, he thrust his hips upward, burying himself to the hilt. She bit the back of her hand to stop from crying out. Then, slowly, almost clumsily, she began to move against him. He moaned low in his throat when she rotated her hips against him.

"Kagome… Kagome I need to feel you. Untie me."

Wanting to feel his touch, she quickly leaned back to untie his legs, then his wrists. Letting out a triumphant cry, he rolled her over until she was pinned underneath of him. She wrapped her hands around his neck, and then her legs around his waist as he slid himself back into her. They both groaned in satisfaction.

Kagome arched her back as he moved faster. Harder. It was if he was racing for something.

Then she felt his teeth graze her neck as he slammed himself into her, grinding his hips in an erotic circle. He was even deeper then she thought he had ever been before. "Kagome," he whispered against his neck, "is this a yes? Are you going to be my mate?"

"Yes," she said breathlessly. She wanted him, all of him. She loved him, he loved her, and she wanted to be with him. She wanted to be his, and she wanted him as hers.

Without hesitation, he bit down in the same spot as before. A wave of pure, blinding bliss tore through her, and she could hear all of his thoughts. He was open to her, and she felt the same way to him.

I can't believe she wants me.

I can't believe he finally told me.

She took me for all that I am.

He didn't pull away.

She's so beautiful.

I love him so much.

I'll love her until the end of forever…

Then she felt her orgasm rip through her, and she gave herself over to the heightening pleasure. She seemed to be breaking into a thousand pieces. Inuyasha withdrew his teeth from her, and then leaned his forehead against her shoulder as he released himself into her.

They laid there for a while, Kagome idly stroking his hair. She loved him so much, and it was wonderful to know that he loved her too.

Suddenly he pulled back, and then leaped off of the bed. Frantically he began to search about her room, seeming to be looking for something.

"Inuyasha? What are you doing?"

"I can't do this right without that thing."

She watched him, confused, as he continued to search through her belongings. He growled in frustration, then grabbing his clothes, he threw them on and ran from the room, yelling, "Stay right there!"

She smiled as she waited. He was so cute sometimes.

She heard a shout of success from downstairs. Then the thumping of him ascending the stairs. He quickly leaped back onto the bed and took her hand into his. "Kagome… dammit what was it?" She watched with her heart in her throat as he thought over whatever was troubling him. "Oh, oh I got it. Will you mate me? You know, the human way? With all the white and fluff and food?"

She smiled, and tears began to fall as she realized what he was asking. He wanted to marry her.

"I know I'm not human, but I figured you girls are so weird with that, and I saw it on the TV, and I thought maybe you might like that more because, well, because you're a girl."

Nodding her head, she leaped into his arms and hugged him tight. "Yes, Inuyasha, yes, yes, yes."

Pushing her back, he frowned at her. "Hold on Kagome, if I have to do this, I have to do it right!" Then, bringing his other hand from behind his back, he took and tied something around her ring finger. Looking down, she laughed as she saw it was a bread-twisty from the loaf downstairs.

He pulled her into his lap, and held her close. She reached up and rubbed his ear, and he began to kick his leg in appreciation. He really was cute.

Whew, 12 hole pages. Wow guys, I hope you liked it. This one was really long, but it was too good to stop, and I didn't want anyone shooting daggers at me if I left another cliff hanger. I have one more chapter coming. It's the Epilogue, and I hope you come back one more time to read it.
