Chapter Seven
Courting Inuyasha was sweet, but short. He had brought her fruits and flowers for seven days straight, had asked different women in the village to watch the boys for a time in the evening so they could go on long walks together, and had snuck her tender, loving kisses when he could.
They were the talk of the whole village, and she couldn't bring herself to care.
On the seventh day, he had asked her to be his wife. He spoke of adding extra rooms onto the hut for the boys so they could have room to themselves, and of maybe one day adding another member to their small, blended family.
She liked that idea.
Liked it a lot.
The week after that, the whole village was aflutter with preparing for the duo's upcoming nuptials, one woman offering to loan Kagome her wedding kimono while another dug out her husband's old outfit. Sweet plum wine and sake were acquired while women began preparing and cooking foods for the celebration.
The two, young, village widows were finally getting married.
The excitement in the air was practically tangible.
On the day of the wedding, when she awoke, Inuyasha and the boys were already gone, and beside her head, she found a small, wrapped gift of some sort. Her heart melted at his sweet gesture, and her fingers worked the edges of the cloth apart. When the cloth gave way, her breath caught in her throat.
The jade bracelet.
He had kept it…
She closed her eyes and took a shuddering breath, trying to keep the tears at bay. She had told him long ago to sell it so that he could rebuild his home...but...he already had a home, didn't he? With her. He didn't need to sell it, did he? Not when she wanted them both there, by her side.
Kagome shakily slid the bracelet onto her wrist, feeling the cool jade against her skin. It was exquisite...and a beautiful present. She was never going to take it off again. Not when she could feel his love for her in it and knew how badly he must have wanted her to have it.
Kagome smiled and dressed, her mind in a haze as she found herself walking towards the graveyard and kneeling before Kikyo's grave before she could stop herself. She lovingly ran the tips of her fingers across her marker, feeling the cool stone beneath her skin.
"Kikyo," she breathed, smoothing her hair out of her face and behind her ears. "I should have come here sooner. I'm sorry I never have," she apologized. "I'm not sure why I never have. I visit Hojo all the time. I...suppose it might have been out of guilt.
I'll never take your place. Not really. You'll always have a special place in Inuyasha's heart, as Hojo does mine. The place reserved for your first love...and it's well deserved. You were both so happy…
I-I hope I can make him happy. I hope I can do right by him and by Akio. I love them both so much, Kikyo. They're my family. I hope I can make you proud of how we raise him...and...I hope I have your blessing in marrying Inuyasha. I love him. I really do," she blushed, gently running her fingers down the marker once more.
She felt an unnatural warmth spread through her body as her fingers touched the stone this time, and a light breeze blew through the trees.
Kikyo gave her her blessing.
She just knew it.
"Thank you, Kikyo."
The day flew by in a blur for Kagome. Dressing for the ceremony, the ceremony itself...it was all a haze in her mind. She remembered some details vividly.
The look in Inuyasha's eyes as she walked towards him. The look in them as they were bound together.
Those were the details she knew she would always have with her. The way those beautiful golden eyes glimmered with so much emotion...The way their boys danced and chased each other around during the festivities...The way she could practically feel Inuyasha undressing her with his eyes…
That had stayed with her all night, even as they handed the boys off to Sango and Miroku, and Inuyasha led her back to her - no.
Their hut.
It was theirs now.
"It was a lovely day," Inuyasha murmured, as their hut came into view.
"Y-yes. Very lovely," she agreed, suddenly becoming nervous.
She knew what happened next. She had a son, after all. But the knowledge that she was going to be doing...engaging in...Well...it was the first time in a few years, and things didn't quite look the same as they had when she had married Hojo.
Her body had softened over the years, stretching to accommodate her growing child during her pregnancy, and then her bosom had filled with milk and she had fed two children and—
Inuyasha opened the door to their home and stood to the side, allowing her to enter first.
She quietly thanked him, the air suddenly feeling rather charged. She knew that at any second, he was going to make a move on her. She couldn't help the sudden doubt and nerves that pooled in the pit of her stomach.
"Would you like another cup of sake, Kagome?"
She hastily nodded, and he moved to his chest - formerly Hojo's - and pulled out a bottle of sake buried within. He brought it back along with two glasses and poured one for them both.
She eagerly picked up the cup and gulped down the contents, her throat burning a little in her haste. She coughed roughly a few times before hoarsely reassuring Inuyasha.
"I'm fine," she promised, smiling in a way she hoped would soothe his concern and ease her sudden anxiety.
"...Alright then," he breathed, reaching over to sweetly cup her cheek. His beautiful amber eyes were filled with so much concern...and then they were getting larger. He was moving closer, and soon she couldn't see them at all as he turned his head to the side, capturing her lips in a tender kiss.
It was slow and sweet and unassuming. It relayed his feelings, telling her that he was excited to be her husband, and how much of an honor it was. It told her that he loved her, and that she was his world.
He parted from her for a moment, the tip of his nose brushing against her cheek as his hot breath fanned across her skin.
"Kagome, I—"
"—I love you," she interrupted, trying to distract him. It was dark out, but she knew that wouldn't matter. Even if all the lights were off, he would probably be able to see every nook and cranny of her body with those citrine eyes of his.
"I love you too," he replied, dipping his head down to kiss her again, and she was pleased that her distraction was working.
For now.
He was already deepening their kiss, and she knew he was eager to move her to the futon.
A part of her was eager to move to the futon too.
She missed a man's touch so badly, and his mouth was so talented...He had a way of heating her blood, making her crave him and need him like oxygen. When he pulled away from her for a second to let her breathe, he leaned down and scraped his fangs against her lower lip.
It sent shivers up her spine and made her fist the back of his haori.
"Kagome," he sighed before taking her lips back and running his tongue across them.
It felt so good...So damn good…
She held him tighter and moaned into his mouth, pulling away just enough to nip at his lower lip as he had hers. This delighted him, and a low, rumble of approval vibrated out from his chest before his tongue parted her lips.
She gasped at the sensation, and he used that to his advantage, his tongue slipping between her lips to gently run along with hers.
She shivered at the feeling and he paused. She could sense his sudden uncertainty, and she tried to reassure him that she was fine by hesitantly running her tongue along with his.
The rumbling in his chest somehow became even more pleased, and she took delight in the sound.
Her blood was heating, and the longer they sat there kissing each other, the hazier her mind became. There was just Inuyasha and this wonderful, wonderful feeling he made her feel when he kissed her. It was so delightful and sensual and—
"—When did we get to the futon?" she asked against his lips, suddenly realizing that he had laid her upon it.
He pulled away from her, his pupils so dilated his irises looked like molten honey.
"I moved you here a few minutes ago," he purred, moving his lips down to her jaw.
"I didn't notice," she swallowed, suddenly nervous again.
"Good," he growled against her skin, nipping at her as he moved closer to her ear. "That means I was doing something right," he whispered, his tongue darting out to circle the shell.
Oh! That felt strange. But good...She...She wanted him to do it again, and she loved that she didn't have to ask him to. He seemed to be able to sense her need and repeated the action before drawing a fang across her earlobe.
"Inuyasha," she mewled, and he responded in kind, her name dripping from her lips in a way that made her body ache in need.
The way his lips and tongue worked against her skin...she didn't notice his hands beginning to part the fabric of her kimono, his fingers deftly plucking at ties and pulling the fabric apart. She didn't feel it part or notice his hand creep inside until his fingers were on her hip, his palm flush against her skin.
"Inuyasha," she panted, pulling away from his dangerous lips to look him in the eye. The fabric had been parted down the middle, exposing the swell of her breast and a thin line of the skin leading down to her waist. She quickly closed it, and his brows furrowed together in confusion.
"Kagome," he breathed, clearly and understandably baffled.
"Inuyasha I…" she tried, but the words were hard to say. How could she tell him she was scared he wouldn't actually want her anymore when he saw her?
"Is...it…me?" he asked nervously, pushing himself off of her to lay fully on his side of the futon. "Did I...push too soon? If you want to wait, I can," he reassured, even as he winced a little, and Kagome couldn't help but glance down his body. The bulge in his hakama was quite evident, and she felt her heart race a little more knowing he was as aroused as she was.
"It's me, not you," she attempted to explain. "I'm not...I...my body changed after the boys," she admitted, unable to look him in the eye. "I'm just...scared?"
"Scared of what?"
"What you'll think," she mumbled. "It's not as...pretty as it was before."
"Kagome," he murmured, gently kissing her and reassuring her. "I love you. I want to make love to you," he continued, and she could feel his lips move against hers with every word. It made her heart beat a little faster.
"Can I, Little Onna?" he smiled, and she felt herself relax a fraction as he used his endearing nickname for her.
"I trust you, Aibō," she replied, and he kissed her deeply again, allowing herself to fall into the pleasurable sensations he was making her feel. Allowing herself to enjoy the way he simply made her body sing.
She didn't notice his fingers parting the fabric again until she felt him move his lips down to her collar bone.
"Inuyasha," she gasped, trying to just feel and not panic.
"Kagome," he murmured, lapping at her skin, a fine sheen of sweat making it shimmer in the dim light. He seemed to enjoy tasting her. Running his expert tongue all along her upper chest and—
"Oh!" she gasped, his lips capturing her nipple and sucking it into his mouth. Her skin wasn't as tough as it had been when she was breastfeeding, but it felt strange having a man's lips and tongue caress and suck at her. Good weird.
In a highly arousing way.
"Inuyasha," she moaned again, and he released her with a wet smack. She hadn't noticed his body move completely over hers, nor had she noticed he had completely parted her kimono.
"Inu—"
"—You're beautiful," he whispered, leaning down to press a kiss to her lips. Soft and sweet and lingering...she could feel the honesty in it and in him. His hand came up to her abdomen and his fingers splayed across the soft skin beneath. "You have a woman's body, Kagome," he soothed. "It's breathtaking."
"Inuyasha," she blushed, and he leaned down to press a sweet kiss to the tip of her nose.
"I love it, and I love you," he growled seriously, his eyes hot - hotter than his touch, and she felt her legs squeeze together and she tried to ease some of the aches she felt from him.
"I love you too, Inuyasha."
"Good," he purred kissing her again. "Because I'm not letting you go, Little Onna."
"Good, because I'm not going anywhere, Aibō."
A wide grin broke out across his face before he dipped down and kissed her lips before moving downwards to claim the other nipple he hadn't tasted before. He was making it hard to think, making her whole body burn...but still...her fingers worked to part the many layers of his shirts until she could touch his skin.
"Kami," she breathed, and he pulled away from her breast with a loud pop to look at her in confusion...until he saw where her eyes were glued.
She had caught glimpses of his torso over the years, of course. It was hard to not, seeing as they lived together...and yet…
Catching glimpses and being able to look at - to touch - in any way she pleased…
They were two totally different things, and she almost felt a little overwhelmed looking at the clear perfection that was his upper body.
"I'm yours to touch if you want to," he encouraged, placing her palm on his pectoral. It was a safe place, and yet her cheeks still became flushed as soon as she felt his skin under her palm.
"Inuyasha," she murmured, her thumb gently rubbing his skin, feeling the muscle below it. "You are. All mine."
"For the rest of our days," he reassured, leaning down to passionately kiss her until her head was swimming and she felt an uncontrollable urge to feel more of him.
Her hand ghosted across his upper body, slowly memorizing every dip and curve of his flesh as her fingers burned a path down towards the tie of his hakama. She felt him rest his head in the soft valley between her breasts, his torso still arched above her so she could touch him. Feel him as he trembled beneath her hand as she inched further down him.
"Kagome," he breathed, rolling his head back up to look at her as her fingers brushed against the ties of his hakama. "Not yet," he decided.
Not yet?
She was about to ask him why not yet when he pulled away from her touch and moved down her body. His lips ghosted over her skin as he pressed hot kisses to her ribs and then moved even lower. She felt him pause at her abdomen, kissing the silvery-white lines of her body with so much love...with such tenderness, that her heart threatened to explode within the cavity of her chest.
"Beautiful," he murmured, kissing each one before moving lower, his fingers having somehow completely bared her somehow...at some point…
"Kagome," he murmured, his hand gently cupping her sex, and she bit her lip. "Can I...do something I think you will like?" he asked nervously, his thumb tenderly rubbing her skin.
Kagome struggled to find the words, and nodded. She was prepared for whatever he wanted to do to her. She knew he wouldn't hurt her, and if she didn't like it, she knew that he would stop when asked. She trusted him, body and soul.
Inuyasha leaned forward and pressed the lightest of kisses to her opening, making her gasp in surprise.
"Oh!"
She could feel him smile against her, as if he liked her reaction, and he did it again. He was testing the waters, trying to ease her into whatever it was he wanted to do...and then...he did it. Kagome felt his tongue run up along the slit of her folds, making her grab a hold of her bedding.
Hojo had never done something like this...this was completely new…
"Inuyasha," she mewled as his tongue dipped inside, a warmth spreading throughout her whole body at the contact. He chuckled deviously, his eyes poking up from between her legs to shoot her a look that told her he was just getting started...and he was.
She felt his tongue lap at her folds a few more times before focusing on that little nub between them. He swirled his tongue around it, and her whole body jolted. Her thighs clenched around his head, her legs snapping up to trap him there, and he made a strangled sound of surprise.
"Kagome?" He pressed uncertainly, and her face turned beet red. "Did I hurt you?"
She could only shake her head and wish the earth would swallow her whole, right there, right then. She couldn't believe it…
"Should I...stop?"
She shook her head more firmly this time, her hands fisting the covers more tightly than before as her legs lowered.
"Relax, Koishii," he encouraged, and her heart somersaulted in her chest. That was the first time he had ever called her that…
She nodded, doing her best to do as he asked, and when his lips returned to her clit, this time his hands held her legs firmly in place when they tried to instinctively wrap around his head. He was gentle and his movements slow, as if he were getting her used to the new feelings at first. Giving her ample time to tell him that she didn't like it or wanted him to stop...but...Kami...the feeling of his tongue against...that!
She gasped when he began to pick up speed and his tongue became more vigorous against her sensitive flesh. His name - or syllables from it - tumbled from her lips as his drew her in. Suckled. Teased. Drove her to the edge of madness and then pulled back, leaving her aching and crying out for more as his tongue thrust deep into her opening, prodding her and making her cry out in need.
"Please," she begged, nearly sobbing. She had never felt anything like this before...now that she had given herself over to him...was laying bared before him so he could do as he pleased with her body… "Inuyasha…" She was so close. She just needed...something. More of something so that she could reach that pinnacle he had been driving her towards.
He throatily chuckled against her skin, and she squeezed her eyes shut as his hot breath teased her nerves, and then...It was all over. He dragged a sharp fang across the tip of her clit, and she saw stars. She probably deafened him too...or at least...she knew that when she was able to reopen her eyes, his ears were pressed flat against his head.
"Hey," he greeted, a proud smirk plastered against his lips.
"Hi," she replied hoarsely, and he moved off the futon, returning with a cup of water. "Thank you," she blushed, sitting up and taking it from him. She greedily drank until it was empty.
"You're welcome," he replied, wrapping a lock of her hair around his index finger. "You...liked that?"
She could only bite her lip and blush before jerkily nodding her head yes.
"Good," he breathed, running his fingers through his bangs. He had been really nervous about that too, hadn't he?
This wasn't just her first time with another partner.
It was his too.
This was...their second first time, in a way. It had been years since either of them had ever taken pleasure in another.
When she was done, she palmed the cup, suddenly unsure as to what to do with her hands. She glanced down into her lap, and then over to his.
Kami...He was...well...It certainly looked uncomfortable, that was for certain, but he also wasn't pushing her forward just yet. But...that's just who he was.
"Inuyasha," Kagome began, placing the cup off to the side. "Can we...I'd like to try that on you."
The choked sound of surprise that clawed its way from his throat was amusing, but she didn't laugh. She really did want to try that on him. Hojo had...hinted in the past that he might like something similar from her, but she had never worked up the courage to try it.
Maybe it was the libations talking, but…
After he had done that to her, she wanted to do the same to him.
He struggled to say something, so he only nodded and allowed her to reach for him. Her hands grazed the tip of his straining erection through the fabric of his hakama as she pulled the ties apart, allowing him to spring free. She heard his breath catch in this throat as the fabric sagged and she pushed him to lay down, trading places with him as she hooked her fingers around both his hakama and fundoshi and pulled both down his legs in one fell swoop. She tossed the fabric off to the side, and when she looked back up at him, she saw nervousness in his eyes that hadn't been there before.
She didn't know why.
"Kami," she breathed, looking at his body. "Are you even real?"
He laughed, his whole body shaking as it relaxed, his eyes crinkling sweetly at the corners.
"As real as you, Little Onna," he promised, spreading his legs for her as she made to crawl between them.
"Are you sure?" she skeptically teased. "I'm not sure a man this handsome should exist."
"Stop trying to inflate my ego and kiss me, Kagome," he smirked, bringing her back to his lips, and she went without a fuss.
Why would she? Kissing him was lovely, and it heated her blood and drove her mad with lust until she couldn't take it anymore.
He had explored her body, and...dammit...she wanted to explore her new husband too.
Kagome pulled away from him, causing him to whimper at the loss of her lips against his until she moved down to his chest. She was determined to memorize every rise and dip of every muscle...the feel of his nipple against her lips...the taste of his slightly sweaty flesh against her tongue.
"Kagome," he breathed, and she decided in that second that it was the most beautiful sound in the world. She liked the sound of her name on his lips as his eyes closed...The way he sounded as he soaked up her love and attention, basking in it.
She moved further down his body, the tip of his erection sliding against her body as she went until she reached his navel. She paused and kissed that, swirling her tongue around him, and she watched as his whole body jumped at the contact. He grabbed at their bedding before releasing it, his hands searching for something else, and she took them. If he needed to hold onto something, he could hold onto her. She didn't mind, and she didn't need her hands.
Yet at least.
Right now she was perfectly fine just using her tongue.
And she loved using her tongue, or at least the reactions she was drawing from him.
The way his whole body trembled under her touch left her feeling powerful and magnificent. That she could make this strong wonderful man quiver and yearn for her touch…
She had never felt more confident in her life.
And to think...she hadn't even reached her final destination yet.
It was with that thought that she pulled away from him and placed a kiss on his thigh, taking her hands back to knead the strong muscles of his legs.
"Inuyasha," she breathed, looking back up at him, and she watched him pry his eyes open at her.
She hadn't been waiting for him to watch her...but since she had his attention…
Kagome opened her mouth and tried to swallow as much of him whole as she could, struggling to not choke at the feeling of his thick shaft in her mouth, reaching for the back of her throat.
She had to have gone crazy to try this, but the way his head snapped back so sharply she was worried he had whiplash...that made it all worth it.
Her name tumbled from his lips in a keening whine, as she began to suck, his tone begging her to continue. He was pleading with her to not stop and she savored every whimper and moan she pulled from him. Kami, he was beautiful. Silver hair spread out around his shoulders, haloing him. Eyes pinched shut, face skewed in complete pleasure.
It made her ache for him to her very core - liquid fire pumping through her veins as her desire for him increased.
She released him with a wet pop and ran her tongue up his length, delighting in the way his head violently thrashed to the side, his hands grasping at the roots of his hair to keep from touching hers. His hips thrust up of their own accord when she circled the tip of his cock with her tongue. A white bead of his essence began gathering there, and she decided to taste it. Salty. Bitter. Him.
"Good," she murmured, and he let out a strange, strangled gulping-like noise. It was guttural and raw...but she understood the 'yes' all the same.
She smiled and leaned back over him, taking him fully in her mouth as her hand reached below to find the heavy, tightening testicles sitting between his legs. His head snapped back once again as she stroked them, massaging them as her other hand worked the base of his cock.
She was just about to try to take more of him into her mouth when she felt his hands on her cheeks, pulling her away from his throbbing length. She was about to protest when his lips crashed into hers, drawing a moan from the back of her throat as he kissed her deeply.
She could taste herself on his tongue still as he slipped between her lips moving against hers, and she absently wondered if he could taste himself on hers. The thought made her shiver in desire. They were expressing love to each other on the deepest, most intimate level, and it made her heartache with said love...while another part of her ached for something else altogether.
She didn't know when her eyes had closed...or when he had moved her onto her back. All she knew was that when she opened her eyes again, there he kneeled - cock proud and dripping between her legs as he absently stroked it, looking up her body.
It was the most salacious sight she had ever seen, and it made her feel wanton and needy.
"Inuyasha," she breathed, opening her arms to him and he leaned down to kiss her once more. Sweetly this time. Tenderly.
"Are you ready?"
Such a simple question.
Such a loving, considerate one.
"I've been ready for you for a long time," she replied honestly, and his face broke out into an understanding smile as he kissed her, reaching between them to line himself up at her entrance.
"Would be rude to keep you waiting for much longer then," he teased, and she felt a giggle bubbled past her lips.
"Then stop being rude."
He slid into her in one easy, smooth thrust, and suddenly she felt complete. They both did.
"Kami, Kagome," he moaned, and her fingers bit into the muscles of his shoulder blades.
Was it supposed to feel this good? This right?
She couldn't remember anymore. She thought that after Kenji, this might not feel the same but…
Kami, Inuyasha felt perfect. It felt like their bodies were made for each other.
He began to move inside of her, and all rational thought began to slip away. It was hard to not feel that way. Not when he felt this perfect. His hips slowly rocked against hers, almost as if he were testing the waters at first. It was as if he wanted to make sure she could handle him.
His girth...length…
He was certainly larger than Hojo had been, and maybe before him, and before Kenji, she might have been scared, but now - now he just felt perfect.
"Is this good," he pressed, leaning down to kiss her neck.
"Yeah," she soothed, the pace he was setting was pleasurable, but she didn't feel something building within her either. Not like before, when he had his mouth on her. "You can go faster, if you'd like."
She felt him smile against her neck, and release a shaky breath.
He had been holding back, hadn't he? She absently wondered why, and then found herself not caring anymore when he kissed her. How was he so good at making her mind go blank with just a kiss?
He straightened above her and grabbed her hips firmly yet gently, and brought his to them in a sharp thrust. It was more powerful than the last few, and it made her gasp, her head rolling back in pleasure.
"Good?" he pressed, thrusting his hips forward again, this time making her mewl out a 'yes' in response.
"Very good," she gasped as he continued, and she saw him smile. His fangs glinted in the dim firelight around them, and it made her flush as she remembered how good that fang felt against her body. Her nipples...her clit…
He moved a leg onto his shoulder, as he straightened between them, and she lifted the other one, encouraging him to continue. He shot her an appreciative smile before his eyes drifted lower to her breasts. She could feel them swaying with his every move, and knowing that he was watching them…
"Kami you're beautiful," he moaned, his hips thrusting a little harder than he had been before.
"Inuyasha," she breathed, still unable to believe that he found her attractive. "I love you, koibito."
"I love you too, Koishii," he replied, kissing her knee before redoubling his efforts.
She watched his face screw up in pleasure, his eyes closing for a moment before he reopened them and asked her to touch herself. "Your breasts," he panted. "I...I want to see you touch them."
She obeyed, running her fingers over their swell before they pinched and rubbed her nipples - ghosted across her areolas. She made him moan. She made herself burn.
It was becoming too much. Him inside her...Her working on her own body…
He took one of her hands and brought it between their legs, placing it over her clit.
"Touch yourself," he repeated as he had before. "So close, Koishii…"
She was too...and it wasn't long after she began rubbing her clit that her world finally snapped, sending her spiraling over the edge into the abyss. When her world stopped spinning, she realized that Inuyasha was laying across her body, his hot breath fanning across her skin as he panted.
He rolled off of her body after a moment, and she whimpered at the loss of the feeling of him inside her.
"Kagome," he murmured, the syllables of her name slurring together ever so slightly. He reached over and ran the tips of his fingers through her hair. "My Little Onna…"
"Yours forever, Aibō."
A/N:
