OMG! I am sooo sorry.

Please forgive me for not posting this chapter sooner...I've spent most of the past two days studying for some really intense exams.

Well...I hope you all enjoyed this story so far...and I know you all enjoyed Inuyasha's naked bum (who wouldn't)...so I guess there's only one thing left for me to say, and that is...

...BRING ON THE FLUFF!

Brown eyes flickered open as Kagome slowly blinked the sleep from her eyes. She could feel her lover's warm breath tickling her neck, his lips pressed against the small mark claiming her as his. Kagome gently rolled them both over, so the she was on top before slowly sliding her body forward, slipping him out of her.

Inuyasha had been true to his word, never letting her fall asleep without him firmly rooted inside her, which made waking up rather interesting. For the past week, the miko had woken up to a rather randy hanyou, already happily pounding himself into her completely aroused body, meaning she'd already missed the foreplay, but he always made sure she was awake for the climax.

Sliding off his body, Kagome stared down at him tenderly. Her fingers gently brushed his long silver locks away from his face, briefly sweeping lightly along the two adorable ears crowning his head. After six days and nights, he'd finally worn himself out. Her gaze travelled down his form, past his well-toned chest, past his clawed fingers, to rest on his well-endowed length.

Her fingers tangled themselves gently in the silvery strands surrounding the base of his demonhood, before allowing her fingertips to travel its length. Bending down, her warm breath whispered over his groin, as she left a butterfly kiss on the tip. Pulling away she noticed how aroused he'd become, but was even more surprised when she heard him mutter her name under his breath. She smirked to herself, today she was going to wake him up. Today, she was going to take control.

The miko tiptoed into the kitchen, silently pulling out everything she'd need for breakfast. As she filled the saucepan with water, she thought back to the past week. He had cooked for her everyday, making sure she had three meals a day, while he himself sometimes skipped. The water began to boil as she added the contents of a few packets of ramen, smiling softly to herself.

Most of the meals he'd prepared had been ramen, using the packets he'd won for taking so much care of her while she was injured. Kagome had thought that his stash of ramen would be used for something important, to which he'd replied that there was no better use for it then keeping his mate's stamina up. "And besides," he smirked, "I've found something that tastes even better," he then proceeded to slip one hand between her thighs, rubbing roughly against her tender flesh until she began to shudder against him, drenching his fingers as she collapsed into him. "Yep," he told her, his tongue lazily lapping as his sticky fingers, "Definitely better."

Kagome tipped the ramen into one big bowl, knowing he wouldn't mind sharing, in fact, he'd probably welcome it. Taking breakfast into the front room, Kagome giggled slightly as she gazed at her hanyou. Since he'd taken her for his mate, Inuyasha had become amazingly confident, as if all his insecurities had just washed away, but most remarkable of all, was his confidence in his body. He was lying, spread-eagled on the mattress, completely relaxed and at home with exposing himself. He hadn't even bothered to reach for the blanket at all. In fact, the whole week, he hadn't bothered to cover himself once, except for using a towel to dry himself, or a blanket for them to snuggle under.

Carefully placing the bowl down, Kagome silently sat down between his legs, her hands slowly sliding up his body as she brought her head down to his groin. Her fingers began to gently massage his chest while her lips kissed up and down his length, bringing him quickly to attention. Bored with kisses alone, her tongue began to gently lap his hardness. The miko chuckled softly to herself as she watched Inuyasha's back arch slightly. Becoming bolder, she took his entire length in her mouth, gently sucking, her tongue alternating between lapping and swirling, as she moved her mouth up and down his demonhood.

Kagome gasped as a clawed hand tangled itself in her hair, and began to move her head faster, bringing her down further, making her take more and more of him into her mouth. Inuyasha began to moan her name as he slowly began to gain consciousness. Revelling in the sensations, Inuyasha found hismelf loath to open his eyes, yet his pride made him force them open while his hand wrenched his mate off him. She'd almost brought him to his climax, and there was only one place he'd allow himself release, and her mouth wasn't it.

His hand still fisted in her hair, he pulled her to him, pressing his lips to hers as he kissed her, almost desperately. His nose began to twitch as he smelt the scent of freshly-made ramen. Dragging the ramen over, Inuyasha shifted his mate on to his lap, lifting a pair of chopsticks to her mouth. The hanyou fed his mate, while nuzzling gently at his mark on her.

Once she was fed he lay her down on the mattress, placing another morsal of noodles in her mouth. "Don't eat those," he told her, "I'll be back for them later," and with that he proceeded to use the chopsticks to lay small amounts of ramen over her chest and stomach, before dumping the last of the warm pasta in the crease made by her closed thighs and her pelvic bone.

Inuyasha crept back up her body, placing his lips desperately over hers, as his tongue slowly withdrew small amounts of ramen from her mouth. Once he'd eaten all that was in her mouth, he slowly travelled kisses down her neck to her collar bone, coming to the next morsal of ramen, giving Kagome the impression that breakfast wouldn't be the only thing he'd be eating this morning. Inuyasha slowly made his way down her body, nibbling away at the ramen and her skin alike.

Reaching her groin, he smirked at her wide eyes, before attacking the mass of noodles, and what lay hidden underneath it. He lapped away greedily, at both the ramen and the saturated flesh between her thighs, making her moan with desire. She'd nearly reached breaking point when he crawled slowly back up her body. His breakfast was finished, and now he was more then ready for some after-breakfast 'exercise'. Seeing his plan, Kagome rolled over, hoping to pin him underneath her, only to find herself on her hands and knees staring at an empty patch of mattress.

"Now here's a position we haven't tried yet," her mate told her as two clawed hands took a firm grip of her hips, "Kind of surprising when you think about it, considering you're the mate of a dog demon." One hand left her hips to cup the wet flesh between her legs, rubbing roughly, as his other hand slid up her back to her neck, pressing down until her head was resting on a pillow. "Now just sit tight and relax," he told her, "You're about to be taken the traditional way."

Replacing his hands on her hips, Inuyasha thrust his hard length into her throbbing flesh. The hanyou gasped as he realised that he wasn't the only one pounding into her. His human and demon sides had been present from time to time, neither trying to take control, but simply enjoying the sensations of their chosen mate screaming their name while her walls contracted around him in sweet release. Maybe it was the position she was in, but this time he felt his demon side thrust along with him.

Both hanyou and demon thrust in synchronisation as they slowly built their pace, his demon side not trying to take control, but more, lend the hanyou his demonic strength as they thrust themselves repeatedly into the moaning girl. Kagome's body had already been extremely close to release before, and it was only a matter of time before that bubble burst. A few more thrusts brought her spiralling over the edge as she screamed her sweet release, her body quivering with ecstasy as her mate flooded her tight cavern with his own orgasm.

The tired hanyou collapsed on top of her, his nose tickling the dip between her shoulder blades, as the aftershocks rippled through her body. He rolled over to once side, still keeping himself firmly planted inside her, as she found herself spooned against him, when a new scent reached his nose. Leaning over her, he snuffled at her stomach, when his eyes widened with shock. He'd been far too overwhelmed with having Kagome as his mate to think of anything other then taking her in everyway possible and against any hard surface, but now he remembered smelling a slight change in Kagome's scent a few days ago, but when it disappeared shortly after, he'd thought nothing more of it. A day into their 'mating season' Kagome had reached the peak of her fertility, and with all his fun, it seemed that his demonic seed had reached their prize.

Inuyasha sighed happily to himself as he lay back down beside his miko, wrapping her safely in his arms. It seemed Kagome's mum would be getting her wish after all, now all he had to do was tell Kagome. His nerves began to surface again, the confidence he'd had, knowing that he had a woman to call his own slowly dissipating as he thought of how she would react to the news.

"Kagome," he called gently, slipping out of her, but still keeping a tight hold on his beloved, "There's something you should know." Kagome turned in his arms, wanting to know what he deemed important enough to ignore his own rules of 'mating season'. "From now on, I want you well away from any fighting," he told her, "I want you to stay somewhere safe." Kagome's eyes widened, "And why would I do that?" she asked him, "If you want me to turn a blind eye while you're fighting, you've got another thing coming. You're not going anywhere without me, because I know that if you were to die, I'd die too, maybe not physically, but inside I'd die without you."

"Damn it Kagome," he cried, standing up and walking away from his mate, "You're not making this any easier on me. You sit there telling me that you would die if anything happened to me, well I wouldn't be able to live knowing that you or my pup had been hurt." Kagome's eyes widened, "You're pup?" she asked, "Shippo and Kyo are both big enough to know how to protect themselves, and do you really think I'd let anything happen to them?" Inuyasha shook his head as he slowly walked back to his miko, "Not those pups Kagome," he told her, placing a hand on her stomach, "MY pup." Kagome gasped as her hand flew to her mouth, finally realising what he was trying to tell her. "You mean...I...I'm..." she stuttered. Inuyasha nodded, "Yeah," he told her, "You're carrying my pup." He turned his head away from her, slivery bangs hiding his eyes. "I'm sorry," he whispered sullenly, "I should've known you wouldn't want to have pups with me. I shouldn't've asked you to be my mate when you weren't ready, but I just didn't want to lose you, and now I've done this. I'm sorry." Kagome's eyes widened even more when she saw crystalline droplets sparkle briefly before shattering on the floor.

Two arms wrapped themselves around the hanyou. "Inuyasha," Kagome murmured into one of his furry ears, "I never want to be with anyone else but you. It's just a bit of a shock when you find out that the man you've loved for over three years, someone you never thought would ever look your way, loves you back. It's even more of a shock when a week after learning of said love, you find out you're also pregnant to him. I never said I didn't want to carry your child, I just didn't expect one so soon." She crept around to sit in front of the depressed hanyou, tilting his head up to meet her gaze as she leant forward to gently kiss away his tears. "There's no one else I'd rather have pups with. I want to grow old with you, have pups with you, I guess I'm just worried about what mum will say," she smiled up at him, "And besides, I don't think this shrine, or our little hut will be big enough for us, the pups and this new addition."

Inuyasha shook his head out of her grasp, "That's another thing I have to tell you, " he told her sullenly, "You won't be getting old for a long time. When I took you as my mate, we joined completely, body and soul. That merging means you soul is tied to mine, and so is your life. When our souls mixed, part of my power duplicated itself in you. You'll heal faster, and you'll live as long as I do, so even if you live in the feudal era, you'll end up outliving your family here, and only appear to age a few years, if that."

"Good," she told him, "Because I was dreading the day you woke up and saw a wrinkled old bat beside you, and found yourself wishing for someone younger." Inuyasha turned back to the miko, pressing his lips tenderly to hers. "Never," he told her feverishly, "No one could ever replace you in my heart. You accept me for who I am, for what I am, despite my faults. I'll never find anyone who holds my heart like you do."

"So," Kagome said hesitantly, "We're going to have a pup." Inuyasha nodded, his hand lightly stroking her stomach. "So," she continued, "How many pups did you want?" Her hanyou smiled mischievously, "Oh," he smirked, "I want to start our own pack of inu hanyous." Kagome gasped, "Fine," she told him, "I'll give you a pack, as long as you can find room to house them." The miko smiled triumphantly. "Oh that won't be a problem," the hanyou replied, teething gently on her bottom lip, "Now let's continue my 'fun' before your family gets home. I've been without my mate in my arms for a long time, time which could've been spent having 'fun'. Now we'll have to make up for lost time." Inuyasha tackled her back down to the mattress, kissing burning trails along her skin. Kagome was too relieved that his confidence had returned to realise that he hadn't let her take control, as she gave herself to his ministrations.

Yes...now that Inuyasha is once again secure about Kagome's love for him, and the little pup growing inside her, it's back to Horny Yasha.

What can I say...this chapter Inuyasha got to eat his two favourite things...Ramen and Kagome...and that makes for a veryhappy hanyou.

For the next chapter...1930 reviews...and remember...Inuyasha still has a surprise for Kagome up his sleeve...which will be revealed next chapter.

Til next time, Ja ne, and may your thoughts and creativity flow,
