Chapter 6

Accidentally in Love

(Oh yes, there will be lemons. Lemon xxx)

Kiita blinked her eyes open. It was very dark and it took a while for her eyes to adjust. When they did, Kiita sat up and yawned. She went to put her hands on the floor to push herself up, but she didn't feel hard stone or soft grass, or even the rough surface of a tree branch. She rubbed her hands against the silky-soft fur that covered the ground and her lower body.

'Soft...' Then Kiita felt something stir beside her.

"Eeeeeeee!" Kiita jumped up and flung out her arm giving a sharp slap to whatever had moved.

"Grn, awake already, huh?" Kouga rubbed the sore spot on his cheek as he sat up and yawned. The spot was slowly turning red. Kiita withdrew her hand.

"Ohh! I-I-I am so sorry Kouga! I di-didn't know it was you!"

"Heh, it's okay." Kiita looked around at the spacious stone walls and the grass bed with the fur blanket.

"If I may ask, where am I?"

Kouga gave a small chuckle. "It's the wolf cave. This is where I live. My wolves are out hunting with Ginta and Hakaku."

"Who are they?"

"The only two left of my pack." The way he said that made Kiita drop the subject. Kiita pulled up her legs and hugged her knees to her chest. She set her chin on her knees and laid her ears back on her head. There was an uncomfortable silence.

"Um, thank you. For saving me. I... would have died if you hadn't come."

"It was no big deal. I was passing that way anyway." Kiita gave a troubled sigh as a tear slid down her cheek.

"I'm sorry."

Kouga looked at her.

"Hmm? Why? You didn't do anything wrong."

"No, I-I'm sorry I'm such a burden. You don't have to do this." Kouga smiled as he brought his hand to wipe away her tears.

"I wanted to do it. I can't resist a pretty face."

Kiita gave a half-hearted laugh, "I'm not pretty. My master says so, and I know he's right." Kouga scowled and stilled his hand on Kiita's face.

"No Kiita. That's not true. You're master. He treats you like, like shit." Kouga growled low and deep in his throat.

"Oh Kiita, don't you see it. You're so stupid!" Kiita gasped as she felt his arms envelope her shoulders, with her knees still pressed to her chest. She was completely in his hold.

"K-kouga..."

...Kouga's Thoughts...

What is this girl? Who is she? Why am I so mad when I hear her say things about Sesshomaru? When she defends him? I don't even know this girl. Why is she making me feel this way!

Kouga's hold grew subtly stronger. Kiita shifted so she could look up at his face. What she saw shocked her. This stranger, this demon who had saved her life, had tears in his eyes. His was gritting his teeth and a thin, white line had formed along his jaw line.

"What is -?" Kiita found her words muffled by his lips crushing against hers. He was gentle but passionate, almost dominant. Kiita found herself wriggling her arms free from his grasp and cupping her hands on his face. When they broke, Kiita looked into his eyes, trying to read why he was doing this. They had just met a few hours ago!

"Oh God, Kiita. I'm so sorry. I-I didn't mean..."

"No, please. Don't apologize. I-it's not your fault." Kiita gave a small, sad smile.

"Kiita..." He pulled her face to his and gently washed her brow with kisses. He moved down the side of her face and down across her collarbone. Kiita gave a small gasp and closed her eyes. Sesshomaru had never been so gentle and loving. Normally, he just took her. He came in, had his way with her, and left. But Kouga did it differently. He burned her skin with the love of his kisses. He let her feel joy while he waited his turn patiently. Kiita had never been loved like this, and even though she was scared, she wanted more, and for once in her life, she wanted to give some in return.

"Sesshomaru, that bastard. He'll never touch you again. Kiita, I swear it." Kiita nodded. She knew what he said was true. She wrapped her arms around his neck and twirled her fingers on one hand through his ponytail. Kouga brought his hands to her waist and laid his head right above the valley of her breasts. Gently and lovingly he kissed. He shifted his hands to her thighs, feeling the barrier of fabric collide with buttermilk skin. He pushed up the bottom of her makeshift work hakama. Past her curving hips, up past her slimming belly. Kiita raised her arms so he could slide it up and over her head. She was now completely vulnerable with this demon she'd only just met. And she had come to this point willingly. She cupped her ands around his neck gently, with her thumbs caressing his cheeks. She brought her head down and kissed his forehead like a mother would a child, thought her kiss was passionate. Kouga set Kiita down on the fur blanket and stood. Kiita closed her eyes in anticipation. She heard the clinking of metal and a rustling as Kouga removed his armor and lay down beside her. She felt a hand move over her belly and clasp her waist.

"You can open your eyes," Kouga whispered. Kiita slowly blinked her eyes open and Kouga kissed her cheekbone. Kiita returned the kiss, but shifted so their lips met. They kissed, long and fervent. Kiita threw fate and priniple to the wind and parted her lips. Kouga broke off the kiss after what seemed like decades and moved his head down, leaving a trail of kisses to her naval. Kiita gasped for breath and arched her back. Kouga smiled and sat up, taking in the site of her. The moonlight through the waterfall kissed her features with a milky haze. Her silver-blond hair swirled over the fur blanket and trailed her breasts. Her white tail curled and slid over her legs, then slid off again.

"Kiita?"

"Hmm?"

"Don't ever, ever say that you're not pretty." Kiita nodded. Kouga smiled and leaned over, drawing her into a long, meaningful kiss. Kiita returned it, with just as much passion. She wanted Kouga to feel just as wonderful as he made her feel. She brought her arms around his back and ran her claws up and down, not hard enough to make marks, just enough to make Kouga whimper. Kouga slid his legs inbetween hers, while Kiita wrapped her around his waist. Hie brought his shaft up, but stopped right before it touched her. Kiita looked at Kouga and kissed his cheek.

"What's wrong?"

"Kiita, I...I don't want to hurt you."

Kiita smiled, "You won't."

Kouga kissed her cheek, then brought his head up to whisper in her ear.

"Are You ready?"

"Yes." Kiita felt his shaftrun into her. His thrusts were slow at first, but as heat and passion rose, they grew fastered and more fevered. Kiita gasped as she bounced right along with him. Being a demon, like him, she easily matched his pace. Kiita gave a final gasp as they came simultaniously. Kouga moved off her and held her tightly as she shivered slightly. He picked her up and stood, moving off the blanket. Kouga pulled back the blanket and lay under it on the grass bed with Kiita. They lay in silence until both their breath turned to normal again.

"Kiita, I love you. I don't know why I do, but, I loved you ever since I saw you running from those demons."

Kiita smiled and closed her eyes. "Kouga, I love you too." Kouga turned on his back and Kiita rested her head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around her. One around her shoulder, the other around her waist. They fell asleep like that.

A long, angry howl echoed through the night. Kiita woke up to it, screaming. Kouga sat up next to her.

"Kiita! What's the matter!" Kiita stopped screaming and looked over at Kouga. She wiped off the cold sweat that had formed on her brow.

"I should go."

"But, it's the middle of the night!"

"It's Sesshomaru. He's angry." Kiita rose to find her hakama and hairtie. Her hair had been undone before she woke up the first time.

"No!" Kouga grabbed her hand, "Don't! Please, don't go..." Kiita looked over at the waterfall that was the way out.

"But...he is looking for me. And he will smell your scent with mine, and trace it back here. And then he will kill you. I don't want to see that happen." Kouga looked longingly, almost sorrowfully, at his new lover.

"Kouga, I must go." She found her hakama, twisting her hand free from Kouga's, and slipped it over her head. She ran off, jumping through the waterfall and disappearing.

Kiita called back to him, "I can't fall in love with you!" But in her heart of hearts, Kiita knew she already had.
