A Sweettooth's Ache – 2

Kagome (Kag)InuYasha (Inu)

"Yeah. I got you, now I want what should be mine." Why couldn't he be the kind of guy that gives his girl whatever she wants? No, that wasn't his style, he was too dangerous to be such a sap.

His eyes flickered and Kag could see the shine in his eyes change position. God, he had such yummy eyes. She could stand there and stare into them forever. He probably didn't notice but she was getting the hots just by looking up into his eyes. Whoa! Time to change her train of thought . . . Um, ice. Yeah, ice. Ice, ice, ice, eyes, eyes . . . Shi-it!

She was glaring up at him and he found the stubborn tilt of her jaw fascinating and the way her nose crinkled was quite alluring. What were they talking about? He needed to concentrate.

"Because, I'm not unarmed." He smiled at her look of surprise and distrust. "No, really. I am never without a weapon."

It washer turn to call a bluff. "Oh, really? Well then let's see it then."

His smile only widened to show off lovely white teeth and even a few small fangs. "Do you really wanna see?" He gave her a totally innocent look that made her doubt the wisdom of calling his bluff. "Yeah"

He bowed and took a step back. The next thing Kag knew, there was a slight glow of gold and then nothing happened. She cocked her head to the side and looked at him as if to say, "Is that it?" Inu smiled and that's when Kag got her first shock of the night. His fangs were huge! He looked like a fscking vampire. And then he cracked his knuckles and she noticed the claws that used to be his nails. No weapons? Jesus, he could probably cut her to ribbons with those lil' beauties. She looked up into his eyes and noted they seemed less gold than before, much darker.

"See, I told you I wasn't unarmed. So your claim is void and you've got a problem." He smiled a pitying smile that royally pissed her off.

"No just a minor inconvenience. I could always fight you for it . . ." she let the idea trail off for thought.

"You don't wanna do that, d—" Darlin' he wanted to call her darlin'.

"Sure, I do." She lifted her leg straight up so that she was balanced on one foot and her other foot pointed into the air. Without taking her eyes off him, Kag slipped her other dagger from her boot sheath.

Inu couldn't take his eyes off her long legs. Hell, she wanted to fight him. He'D try not to hurt her but he'd be damned if he'd go easy on her. Well, maybe just a little bit . . .

Taking up a melee stance, she ordered him to begin. Inu took her by surprise when he suddenly Appeared in front of her, but not for long. Shifting her hold on her blades, she took two quick swipes at his chest before dodging to the left and doing a bit of appearing of her own.

It was a complicated trick, but it had to do with concentrating your chakra in your feet. She showed up behind him but, just when she was going to take a slash, he turned and took a swipe of his own. Left totally unguarded, Kag quickly drew an arrow from her quiver and shot it between her fingertips as one would a rubberband slingshot.

His attack sliced into her shoulder while the arrow she'd shot at him sliced into his leg. As she watched, he plucked it out and flipped it over his finger. "Nice little trick that one." Then he changed his grip and flicked the arrow at her with alarming force.

While she scrambled out of its way he Appeared right next to her so that her head bumped into his chest. Quickly, she Appeared behind him with her blades at his neck and her knees digging into his back.

"See now you've unarmed and down. Now agree." She had her other arm draped over his shoulder around the place his heart was. It was a very intimate hold that left him quite aware of her being wrapped around him. It must have jangled his brain because he turned his head jus so he could look into her feisty green-blue eyes.

"Under one condition."

She blinked, surprised but impulsively asked, "What?"

"You, Kagome, will be mine."
