GANGS OF THE CITY

19. LETTING GO

Kagome woke up in Inuyashas arms (lucky bitch...sorry) 'You would think we were a married couple' a small blush traced her cheeks at the thought.

Bending over Kagome brushed his long bangs gently from his face. In sleep he frowned and tightened his grip around her waist.

Kagome giggled softly, and traced her fingers along his collar bone, while placing a light kiss upon his lips.

She smiled as his eyes fluttered open "Morning"

Inuyasha yawned and stretched beneath Kagome bringing his hands up to rest behind his head "right back at ya"

Kagome shook her head before rolling out of bed.

In five, she was ready, and on her way out the door "See you later"

Demons didn't have to jog, because it would take a hell lot of jogging to really have any kind of affect. Instead Inuyasha was to eat breakfast then train.

His training consisted of mostly of learning to fighting with different techniques, heightening his demon senses, and increasing his strength. Where's Kagomes training relied mostly on the mind.

He did weaponry, and the blind folded stick fighting like Kagome, and he was sent through a numerous amount of obstacle courses. Receiving a large amount of small breaks through out the day.

'I better get ready' Inuyasha groaned as he finally rolled out of bed.

Miroku entered his office "Thank you Ayme" He yelled over his shoulder before closing the door.

There had been a gang sighting near down town, but as usual it had turned out to be nothing. Shippou and Kohaku were hitting a lot of dead ends on the location of the Inequities headquarters.

In other words things were moving slow; leaving Miroku with nothing to do; but sit around and wait.

"Miroku?"

Miroku looked up as Sango entered the room "Hey"

Sango smiled "Things going a little slow?"

"Yes"

"Why don't you take a break and come train with me" Said Sango with a smile.

Miroku smiled back at Sango and stood from his chair "I would love to"

"NARAKU!" A tall woman barged through the stainless steel doors.

"Ah Kagura how are you my dear"

"What have you done with her" Kaguras face was contort with anger her purple eyes flashed dangerously. Strips of jet black hair, fell lose from the tight clip that had once held them back.

"You mean your dear sister Kanna?" a sly smile spread across his lips "Oh Kagura... you really are something" Naraku turned his cold gaze towards the strong woman "Your disobedience has been getting out of hand it seems that me holding your heart is no longer enough to control you" Naraku held out his hand, as a live beating heart materialized into his out stretched palm.

Naraku squeezed the heart, and watched with pleasure as Kagura fell gasping to her knees. Losing interest Naraku loosened his grip with satisfaction.

Out of the shadows two figures approached. A small girl with a tattered face stood in the clutches of a tall lean woman draped in velvet black robes, her face hid within the shadows of her hood so that all that remained, was a cruel and hateful smirk.

Naraku turned back to Kagura. A look of fear swept across her face as she gazed at her little sister.

"Thanks to the handy work of our Miko here, Kanna has been striped of her powers. All of them have been transferred to you; but now you are bound to her, and if you should disobey me once more both you and her shall be eaten alive by Nadia's wraths"

"You jerk" Kagura growled.

"You are dismissed till I have further need of you"

Inuyasha ducked as the blade came sweeping over his head, then jumped as the second one took a swing at his legs. Inuyasha kicked the upper blade breaking it in two. His eyes widened as the ground beneath him sprouted spikes.

Quickly Inuyasha kicked off the wall, then spun around to kick of the second.

With a loud thump Inuyasha landed on the hard soil 'fuck this maze it crawling with traps' he scanned the ground before him. Then glancing behind him grabbed the second sword, from the mechanical arm that held it.

Inuyasha through the sword on the ground in front of him, immediately a line of fire burst forth. Inuyasha growled 'man they weren't kidding when they said people had died in here'

Inuyasha jumped over the fire in one mighty leap grabbing the sword as he landed.

Arrows came at him from both sides. Using his sword Inuyasha cut through all of them, then lifted his sword once again as another lot came his way. Finally getting fed up Inuyasha snatched one of the arrows as it headed for him and through it at the machine that had launched it.

There was a load chopping noise, and then a hiss as the machine began to smoke. 'Oh shit' Inuyasha lunged forward dogging a set of nets, and jumped over a trap hole, just as the machine exploded.

Rolling on to his back, his eyes closed, as he regained his breath. 'Is something falling?'

Inuyasha opened his eyes then split his legs apart, just as a giant spike pierced the ground between them, Inuyasha looked down at his crotch, it was barley an inch away from the spike 'that was way to close'.

Inuyasha got to his feat, his gaze scanned the roof above. It was littered with spikes 'fuck'

With a giant leap Inuyasha lunged forwards as fast as he could, dogging from left to right, as the spikes rained down on him.

There, he could see the sky! Inuyasha through himself forward as the last spike fell. He heard a gust of wind, and his arm snapped up catching the arrow before it hit. Inuyasha landed on his feet, his knees bent upon impact, straitening up he gazed back at the monk who had shot the arrow.

The monk smiled "20 minutes and no injuries, incredible you just tied with one of our former students for first"

"No Injuries? Why what happens if you get injured"

"We take of time depending on how bad it is, our last student made it in 15 but he had been bitten and had an arrow through his right calf"

Inuyasha shook his head "People should be happy that they even made it through that thing alive!"

The monk laughed.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the blood curling scream ran through the air as a powerful wind swept through the shrine, fallowed by a deadly silence.

Inuyasha turned to the monk who stared with wide eyes in the direction of the scream.

Both men headed off instantly.

Inuyasha skidded to a halt his sword fell with a clatter to the ground "Kagome!"

Kagome lay crouched on her hands and knees, in gulfed in blue flame. Moans of pain and agony escaped her mouth. Her eyes clenched shut with the weight of the pain.

"Kagome please you must control, your feelings!" Kaede yelled desperately.

"I can't" Kagome gasped, as another wave of energy exploded from her body, throwing, all her onlookers back.

Kaede pushed her self back up onto her feet "then try channeling it into a beam"

"There's to much"

"DO IT KAGOME OR BE CONSUMED BY IT!"

Kagome shook violently her face pale with the strain. With the last of her will and strength Kagome lifted her body, her head thrown back with one hand stretched high above her, aiming for the sky.

A dead silence, fell over the shrine, nothing was heard not even your own breath. Two iridescent waves emitted from Kagome like a ripple on water, shattering the glass on the shrine walls, and sending everything in its path backwards with incredible force.

Long rays of white light sprouted from Kagomes hand. The ray's joined together forming one big beam of light that rocketed into the sky.

It was like being in a tornado, and Kagome was the eye of it. As the winds howled around her.

After what seemed like forever, the beam shrank back into Kagome hands, her palm snapped shut, as her body fell limp to the ground.

(Just in case you wanted to know the eye of a tornado is the center of one, and its usually the calmest spot of the tornado.)

Inuyasha ran to Kagomes side, and lifted her gently into his arms.

Kaede placed a hand over Kagomes forehead and closed her eyes.

"Well?" Inuyasha asked eagerly.

"She'll be fine; she just needs a day of rest to restore her energy"

Inuyasha nodded "I'll take her to her room"

Kagome leaned closer into Inuyashas warmth rejoicing, in the calming motion of his hand on her back.

"How are you feeling?" Inuyasha asked.

"A little week to be honest, not a very nice feeling if I may add"

Inuyasha smiled "Kaede said you might feel week for a bit; but you should be back to normal with in a days rest"

Kagome smiled "Dose that mean I get to stay in bed for a day"

Inuyasha nodded.

"Will you stay with me?"

Inuyasha nodded once again and kissed Kagome gently on her fore head.

"So what do you want to do?" She asked as she flipped over on to Inuyashas chest, brining her hands up, to rest her chin upon. The position gave her a full frontal view of Inuyashas face.

Inuyasha shrugged "It's up to you"

Kagome smiled mischievously "Ok let's play the question game"

Inuyasha frowned "That sounds kind of stupid"

"Oh come on its fun, see I ask a question and you have to answer it, no matter what it is and you can't lie, then you get to ask me a question"

Inuyasha sighed "Fine you go first"

"What's your most embarrassing moment that involves nudity?"

Inuyasha chuckled, as he struggled to find one "man.... I know Mirokus"

Kagome laughed "No it has to be yours, but you can tell me that one later"

"well if you must know, when I was 18 (by the way in my story demon age almost around the same time we do to begin with but around twenty they slow down a lot) me and my brother, went out to a private beach with some friends. Anyways I did a dive of the dock and my shorts fell off, and of course to make thing worse my brother snatched them up before I could do anything"

Kagome laughed "awe I wish I had been there"

"Why, you get to see what they saw anytime you like" Inuyasha smirked.

Kagome laughed "That's true, but I'd be more interested in the look on you face when it happened"

Inuyasha growled softly "Ok my turn.... Same question"

Kagome smiled "hmmm... I'm not sure if this really fits the question, but once I wore a white shirt to school with do braw, and because it was the last day of school, some guys thought it would be fun to bring super soakers to school and drench everyone. Of course I just happened to get hit full on so every one had a pretty nice look at by breasts; I got a lot of attention from the guys after that"

Inuyasha laughed

"Your turn"

Inuyasha thought around, to find a question worth asking "When you were little, what did you want your life to be like?"

Kagome closed her eyes, as she thought back to her child hood days "in truth I was one of those kids, that couldn't wait to get married and have kids of her own. If my parents hadn't died, I'd probably still be in university training to be a sergeant or something. I was always a very ambitious person; but when my brother died so did a lot of my dreams"

Inuyasha smiled "did you always want to get married?"

Kagome shrugged "So many marriages end in divorce now a days..... What I really want is what I think most people want an ever lasting love or true love to be more precise... I remember in college me and my roomies use to sit out on the school campus roof, and talk"

"About what?"

"About what it would be like to really fall in love"

Inuyasha smiled.

"Ok now it's my turn..... Inuyasha if you could have one wish in the whole entire world right now what would it be"

Inuyasha searched his head. That question was easy 'to bring my mother back' he opened his mouth to answer Kagome when another wish came to mind 'to make you mine forever' Inuyasha closed his mouth and shook his head.

"Are you ok?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah I'm fine.... Umm I would wish for my mom to come back to life"

Kagome smiled "yeah same here... ok your turn"

Inuyasha searched around for a good question "Are you a virgin?"

Kagomes eyes widened "That's personal"

"Hey you have to answer the question remember"

Kagome rolled off Inuyashas chest and hid her face in the pillow "Yes"

"I'm sorry you're goanna have to speak loader" Inuyasha laughed.

"YES!"

Inuyasha eyes widened "Are you serious!"

"Hey I'm saving my self for some one special ok, I'm sorry if I don't just go around and sleep with every guy I date"

"Are you saying you've never slept with any of your boyfriends... not once?"

Kagome nodded.

"Wow"

"Well what about you! How many girls have you slept with?"

"None"

"Yeah right" said Kagome.

"No I'm serious I've never had sex with anyone before"

Kagome stared wide eyed at Inuyasha "Wow you must masterbate a lot"

Inuyasha laughed "Right back at you"

Kagome shook her head "Ok your turn"

Inuyasha looked Kagome over with interest "How many boys have you actually dated then?"

Kagome sighed "I've been asked out by tons of guys, but I'm kinda picky, and have only dated four, most of which were through high school, one of them was during college"

Inuyasha nodded.

"Well what about you, ever been in a really serious relation ship"

"Once"

"Well?"

Inuyasha frowned at Kagome "Well what?"

"Oh come on you have to give me some details"

"It was with Kikyou, and it lasted a year"

Kagome looked down at the bed sheets.

"You, same question?"

"Well I've never really been in a serous relationship, because I've never really fallen in love with anyone, most of my relationships were based on small crushes"

"Just tell me out of all your relationships which one you've had the most fun with or liked the most"

A deep blush spread across her cheeks "well if I had to chouse.... I'd say this one"

Inuyasha smiled.

"Ah ok my turn" Kagome thought around for a question that she really wanted to ask, she had the perfect one in mind, and decided to risk asking it "Inuyasha what really happened between you and Kikyo, not just the out line of it but the hole thing?"

Inuyasha shook his head and flipped over onto his side, so his back faced Kagome "No"

Kagome sighed "It wouldn't kill you to tell me"

Inuyasha remained silent.

"Pleases...."

No answer.

Kagome rolled over on to her side and stared across the room at the boring wall.

"She was the first person I ever fell in love with..... a few days after she had joined our gang we had begun to date, as our relationship grew I began to open up to her; but she never really seemed to open up to me, I didn't really think anything of it. One evening, we went out for the night. That night I had planed on telling her that I loved her, and asking her to be my mate.... But right after telling her she laughed, and tried to attack me. We fought for a long time, and in the end I managed to defeat her; but before she died, she had tolled me that she could never love a weakling like me and that she had been mated to Naraku from the beginning"

Kagome raised her self slowly and turned her around to face Inuyasha. A tear ran softly down her cheek, as she slid across the gap that separated her from him.

Kagome wrapped her arm around his side, and kissed his shoulder gently. Then pulled on his shoulder to turn him over.

Delicately she leaned over Inuyasha, and lowered her self landing a butterfly kiss upon his lips, then rose up just enough to see his face.

Inuyasha lifted his hand and whipped away a tear from Kagomes face, with his thumb. He felt the pain subside at the thought that she had cried for him.

Kagome leaned forward and kissed Inuyasha again. In an effort to heal his pain, she trailed kisses all over his face, down his neck and across his chest. The need to love him hold him, comfort him, had grabbed hold of her soul and wouldn't let go.

Inuyasha felt warmth spread through his body as Kagome kissed him gently. He didn't want to be alone anymore, and with that thought, he dropped all barriers he had and fell into Kagomes embrace.

Inuyasha pulled Kagome unto his chest; her body pressing up heavily against his, his hands moved sluggishly up and down the curve of her hips, he couldn't seem to get enough of her body, as he pulled her hips closer to his.

Kagome moved her hip up and down against Inuyashas, her night gowned climbed higher on her leg with every rub. Stifled moans of pleasure, escaped her locked mouth, muffled against Inuyashas tongue.

Inuyasha moved his hands down to Kagomes ass, were her night gowned laid in pools, his hands weaving there way under the fabric. A wave of heat spread through his body as he fond that Kagome was bare underneath the silky fabric. Without thinking Inuyasha pulled the night gown from Kagomes body.

Kagome felt a rush of cold air as she was stripped of her only clothing.

She immediately locked lips with Inuyasha once again, her hands moved down his chest to pull the black cloth up and over his head. Then letting her hands fall to undo his belt and unzip his pants.

Inuyasha pushed his but into the air, his hands assisting Kagome in removing his leather pants.

Once off Kagome slowly crawled back up to Inuyasha lips, yet leaving her hand behind to rest gently on his privates.

Inuyasha growled softly shifting his hips beneath her touch, feeling him self harden immediately.

Kagome moved her hand slowly up and down, gaining speed with each passing moment.

Inuyasha broke away from Kagomes lips, liking and kissing a wet path to her chest, and began kissing and liking her hardened nipple.

Kagome released Inuyasha only to wrap her hands around his head; gasping for breath.

Inuyasha grabbed hold of Kagomes waist and flipping her over unto her back, bringing himself around to lie on top of her. His blood was boiling, his demon side screamed at him to take her. His senses were clouded, as the heat and the passion from her body drowned all thought, he thrust himself into her, brining his fangs down onto her neck, breaking through the soft flesh.

The sounds of Kagomes gasps and moans of pleasure, made his blood boil even more, as he began to thrust into her harder and faster then any human was capable. The scent of her sweat drenched body filled his nose as he drowned within her smell and passion. He could feel himself gaining speed as he reached an unbearable peak, with one last thrust, he gasped as his world came crashing down, as Kagome screamed his name, her walls and legs clenched tightly around his body, as he released himself into her then, collapsed on to her shaking body.

Inuyasha opened his moth slowly releasing her neck from his vice like hold, giving his mouth the freedom to pant heavily. He closed his eye reveling in the after shock of the sensation he had just lived through. The hands that hand dug into his back only moments ago loosened there grip but still remained on his back. Inuyasha turned and kissed the mark he had made.

As the haze before his eyes cleared, and his mined began to work once again, realization of what he had just done struck Inuyasha. He had marked her unknowingly as his own without her consent.

Inuyasha raised himself up slowly unto his elbows; his damp silver hair cascaded over his shoulders as he looked down on the sleeping form of Kagome. It had felt so right. Yet had it been too soon, he knew he loved her and he could no longer deny the fact that he wanted her for his and only his forever more... he knew this, but what he didn't know was if she felt the same way. Inuyasha sighed, and fell asleep wondering if his heart could take another brake, when would he ever learn caution?
