It was taking everything in Inuyasha's power not to break out into a sprint. Twenty-four hours had never felt so endless before. Kagome texted him Saturday evening, which was way way longer than he was prepared to deal with, and Miroku, the fucking asshole, had turned off his phone. Inuyasha had been more distracted and surly at work than he normally was, waiting. When the text arrived, Inuyasha had nearly dropped his phone in his haste to answer.

Inuyasha its Kagome—heading to parents house to do b-day. Will be gone until Sunday night. Want to do dinner when I get back? (Thank you for the reiki lessons btw)

He'd never saved a number to favorites before. Kagome's number went right into favorites.

Yes! How do you like ramen?
Inuyasha typed the reply out so fast he broke the sound barrier.

Love it! Just let me know where to meet you.
Inuyasha looked at Kagome's reply. Was that a whine? Yes, yes it was. He didn't want to go out. He wanted to go in. And finish what they started on Friday.

Inuyasha closed his eyes and channeled the cockiness of his disguised human self.

What about takeout?
Inuyasha exhaled as he hit send. Apparently he'd been holding his breath.

He wanted to see her. To kiss her. To hold her. He wanted to watch her sleep again and actually wake up with her. He wanted to ask her how reiki training was going, and well… he wanted to be her first.

8 sound good? You know the address ;-)
Inuyasha had to suppress a squeal at Kagome's reply (and the implication it came with). And he sure as fuck did know the address.

Waiting for her to get back was torture. Okay, fine, after she'd texted him, the volley of texts between them was near constant. Yes, Miroku had done his job and Kagome could channel her reiki now. No, Inuyasha's profile was gone now so no one could 'buy his services' anymore. No, Eri didn't remember who she'd bought, but totally believed she did (good thing Eri's family came with trust funds.) Yes, his asshole friend Koga was still trying to one-up him (and seemed to enjoy naked cleaning far too much…).

When Inuyasha finally arrived at Kagome's, he ran his fingers through his hair, took a deep breath, then knocked. A whine probably escaped him, probably. But he couldn't help it. Not when someone as delectable as Kagome was on the other side of that door.

Kagome wondered if he knew that she was sitting in the living room, pretending to be paying attention to some baking show or other. She'd been thinking about seeing Inuyasha again from the moment she saw his note, so now that it was finally time she couldn't contain her excitement. She'd managed to extricate herself from her family and arrived with an hour to clean her apartment, to shower, even to throw on a little bit of lip gloss and mascara. When she heard the knock, she tried not to jump up and dive for the door, instead walking (briskly) to open it, her reiki flaring excitedly to see him.

Miroku had been an excellent teacher, and in the course of the day Saturday, taught Kagome to sense her reiki, and finally, to channel it. It had taken considerable effort, but she could flare it and quell it now, and knew if it ever tried to get out of control, she simply had to stroke the life line on her palm to put it to sleep (though she could draw it out immediately again if needed).

She would be meeting Miroku every other day for at least the semester as his student, to learn to direct reiki, manipulate it, and even shield herself using it. She wasn't sure in modern society if there really was a use for reiki-as-a-weapon anymore, but she could already tell that the more control she had, the better she would feel. Miroku even felt confident enough to let her go to her parents for her birthday, but… well… she was glad she was back in her own apartment. In part, because of who was on the other side of the door at that very moment. The door she was about to open...

Inuyasha's smile was so big it showed off his fangs, and he didn't bother to hide the fact that he was excitedly checking her out.

"You're late." Kagome crossed her arms, but she too could not hide her excitement at seeing the gorgeous half-demon in her apartment building's hallway.

"What? No-fucking-way. I've been here since…" Inuyasha frantically looked down at his watch, "It's 8:01."

Kagome giggled. As she let Inuyasha through the door, Kagome remembered the grinning human who'd crossed its threshold just two days before. She liked the half-demon with the blush on his face a whole lot more, even though they were the same person.

"Uh. I didn't know what you wanted…" Inuyasha strolled behind Kagome's kitchen counter, then opened the enormous bag he was carrying, "So I… uh… bought a few to try."

Inuyasha then proceeded to pull out seven different to-go bowls of ramen. Buyo sat in the kitchen, looking up at him as if he'd never been fed in his life. It looked like the prospect of food and Inuyasha's being himself had satisfied the damn cat.

"Are you expecting company?" Kagome asked, trying to take in the mountain of bowls in front of her.

"No. I… I got different ones and… well… half-demons have big appetites." Inuyasha's ears drooped slightly as he tried to explain away why he'd gotten so many. He… he wanted to make sure he got the one that Kagome liked, and he didn't know which one that would be. Plus, he would eat all the other ones.

"Did you get a black ramen with pork?" Kagome asked, walking in to join Inuyasha in the kitchen.

"Hell yes I did," Inuyasha chuckled, and handed Kagome the correct bowl.

"Thanks," Kagome smiled and picked up the ramen.

The two returned to Kagome's living room, and plopped down on the couch, staring blankly at the baking show that was still playing on her TV. Kagome spooned the ramen broth into her mouth, then added one of the pieces of pork. As she chewed, she shot a side-glance at Inuyasha, who was quietly eating his ramen too.

Why was it awkward? He'd already seen her naked. He was the one who kissed her and touched her and gifted her the first orgasm of her life. He was forward and sweet and understanding. And hell, he'd saved her from having her reiki eat her alive. She… she wanted him. She wanted the whole thing—her whole birthday present. The one that her too-drunk-to-remember friends intended her to have.

Inuyasha slurped up his ramen in silence, trying to figure out what to say next. He wanted to tell her again how sorry he was for the bullshit way they met. He wanted to tell her that she smelled delicious and he wanted to run his tongue down her body all night and find out all the ways he could make her shudder and moan. But… was that night so out of the ordinary that they would need to take their time to get back there? If… if it meant getting to be with Kagome, he could wait. Shit, he would wait as long as she needed him to. He would wait forever.

But this was not working for him. This sitting on the couch, staring at the television (bread week…), avoiding eye contact. How had he been so damn confident walking in the first time?

Right. Because he was there to get laid, not there with a crush. And now all the half-demon insecurities were clouding out his ability to seduce. And well… he didn't want to seduce Kagome. He wanted to be with her. It made making the first move much more nerve-wracking.

"H-hey Inuyasha?" Kagome broke Inuyasha out of his head. "Uh… well…"

Inuyasha turned to her, scenting a little waft of ginger, and seeing Kagome's face carried a pink blush.

"Yeah?" Inuyasha turned his body more fully toward her, trying not to be too obvious about sniffing the air to pick up as much of Kagome's spicy desire as he could.

"Uh. So. I have a… complaint." Kagome's face color was growing redder by the moment, and she had not brought herself to look at him. "Y-you know um… the whole… birthday present thing?"

"Yeah?" Inuyasha put down his ramen; his eyes and ears were fixed on Kagome. He thought—hoped he knew where this was going.

"I… I didn't get the whole… package," Kagome blurted, turning a color of crimson that did not seem physically possible.

"Are you tellin' me you want your money's worth birthday girl?" Inuyasha purred, leaning his whole body toward Kagome. Her scent was still changing, getting deeper and headier (and more intoxicating), and the wide-eyed beet-red expression she had was so adorable he wanted to pounce on her right then and there. "Because I would love to make sure you get your whole present."

"Technically it was Eri's money," Kagome giggled, struggling to put her own ramen bowl down without spilling it.

"Well…" Inuyasha placed a peck on her eyelid, "Guess I better…" a kiss to her temple, "Deliver…" a kiss to the skin under her ear, "What you expected…" a kiss to her jaw, "Birthday girl…"

With the last words out of his mouth, Inuyasha pulled Kagome flush against his body, pressing his lips to hers. She responded immediately and enthusiastically, prising his lips open with her tongue and gaining entry to his mouth. He moaned the moment his tongue met hers, caressing it as it once again probed his fangs. Soon Inuyasha's hands were exploring Kagome's back, pawing desperately to feel as much of her as he could. Kagome stuck her hands under Inuyasha's shirt, using a finger to trace the ripple of muscles below. Her body thrummed with energy, but her reiki stayed tame, purring at the electric touches Inuyasha was gifting to her body.

"I-Inuyasha?" Kagome managed to gasp, pulling away just slightly. "C-can we…"

"Anything Kagome," Inuyasha whispered back, his eyes locked on hers.

"My bed…?" Kagome whispered.

Inuyasha scooped Kagome up bridal style, and carried her into the bedroom, setting her gingerly onto her bed. As soon as she was settled, he leaned in and kissed her hungrily, savoring her taste. Kagome leaned back on the bed, pulling him with her, never breaking their kiss. Why did he feel so euphoric, as if every one of his goddamned dreams was coming true?

Because it was honest. He was with Kagome, as Inuyasha, the half-demon. And Kagome liked being with Inuyasha, the half-demon.

With every kiss, every touch, every little rumble that escaped Inuyasha's lips, Kagome's body keened for more. Every time he touched her, more of her responded, stoking a gently-building fire ever higher. She wanted all of Inuyasha that night. Hell, even when he was human and her birthday present, she wanted all of him. And now, seeing his glorious half-demon physique—His luminous hair and eyes, and the perfect ears atop his head—she wanted him even more.

She wanted him to continue where they left off the last time when she, well… when she accidentally zapped his disguise then almost self-immolated. The night that… Inuyasha saved her life. She got to be the heroine in the romance novel, giving herself over to her hero.

But Inuyasha was not the cocky hero of a romance novel; he was so much more precious than that. Even as her reiki stirred and tried to overcome her, Kagome saw his blazing golden eyes, horrified and ashamed. She remembered the way he said this when he described his half-demon self, with disgust in his voice. She couldn't believe a being as beautiful as him could ever feel that way about himself. She… she wanted him. Tonight. And hopefully a lot of other nights too.

"Inuyasha." Kagome whispered. She was having a hard time forming words, not when his body was pressed against her, not when his lips and tongue and teeth were open for her exploration. "Tonight… Will you…"

"Are-are you sure?" Inuyasha pulled back, and his eyes searched hers.

"Yes," Kagome answered simply, "Please."

Kagome's certainty startled him. But… he had no doubt. She wanted him, a half-demon, to be her first. She wanted him, a half-demon, to claim her. How the fuck had he gotten so lucky?

Well, he sure as fuck was going to make her first time the best he possibly could. He was going to worship her body, because, by the simple act of accepting him, she'd given him a more profound gift than he thought he could ever repay.

"I will deny you nothing," Inuyasha whispered. "Do you want me to undress you slowly or quickly, birthday girl?"

"Not my birthday anymore," Kagome giggled.

"Well shit, then it must be my birthday." Inuyasha leaned himself back over her and took a playful nip at Kagome's neck. "Because you're the best present anyone could ask for." Then a firmer bite. "And I'm gonna unwrap you like a present."

Kagome moaned as Inuyasha's fangs pricked her skin, hard enough for ripples of pleasure to pulsate through her system, but not so hard as to break the skin. It was enough to confirm for her that, yes, she really really liked his fangs.

Inuyasha then set to work unwrapping Kagome, starting with peeling off her socks, then untying her pants and pulling them down. Kagome raised her hands gleefully over her head so that he could remove her shirt.

"Delicious," Inuyasha rumbled, taking another lick and bite to Kagome's neck. She could not suppress the guttural moan that escaped her.

"W-what about you?" Kagome was relieved that she could still speak the english language. "Want to see all of you too."

Inuyasha chuckled darkly. "Oh, don't you worry Ka-go-me, you will."

Inuyasha backed away from the panting, absolutely irresistible woman lying prone on her bed, waiting for him. He wanted to peel off her bra and panties (matching black, lacy, he noticed), but she wanted to see him. And he wanted to give her a little show.

"Sit up, birthday girl," Inuyasha commanded. "I want to watch you watch me."

Kagome did exactly as she was told, never taking her eyes away from Inuyasha's golden ones. They shone in the dark of her room, piercing her. The look of an apex predator preparing to hunt and devour his prey (prey, she should mention, she was very willing to be). Inuyasha made short work of his shirt, tossing it haphazardly on the floor. He flexed his muscles, letting the initial flex ripple down his body. Kagome drank him in, wishing he was close enough for her to taste the hard-but-giving sinew that Inuyasha was sculpted from. His silver hair trailed down his back, and even as he was sexy and predatory, his silver-furred ears were focused forward, twitching excitedly, trained only on her.

Inuyasha trailed his hand down his stomach, running his (trimmed) fingernails through his silver happy-trail, heading toward his pants. Kagome's eyes were saucer wide, but when he looked into them, they were dark with desire; her desire for him was as deep and abiding as his desire for her. Inuyasha's cock strained against his pants, wanting as much as he did to explore the woman in front of him—Kagome. A woman his demon side begged for him to claim. A woman his human side wanted to make moan and howl his name.

"You ready to see everything Ka-go-me?" Inuyasha purred, pleased to watch Kagome lick her lips.

Kagome couldn't speak, too entranced as she was by the beautiful man in front of her. She was ready, she was ready. Finally, the thought managed to break the surface of her desire, and she nodded so vigorously that Inuyasha's grin grew wider.

Inuyasha unzipped his jeans slowly, listening to the little groan the zipper made as he slowly eased it down. He wanted to make Kagome wait, just a little bit longer. For every second that she watched him, her scent grew headier, deeper, darker. It meant that when he kissed her and licked her and eventually claimed her, she would be ready for it, for him. And fucking hell it had been a long-ass time since a woman looked at him—half-demon him—like that. He was going to thank her for making him feel so desired all night. And maybe (hopefully) long beyond.

Finally with his pants and socks off, Inuyasha walked back to Kagome, his boxer briefs all that separated his straining erection from her skin.

"Would you like to do the honors?" he asked, his impish grin still painted across his face. She was looking directly at the prominent bulge between his legs. He liked the idea of taking this at her pace. Of letting her be the person that freed him of the last of his clothing. It felt… right.

"O-only if you do the same for me," Kagome said shyly, though her eyes shared none of the shyness of her voice.

"With pleasure," Inuyasha answered. "But… you first. I-uh. I'm… well… I'm above average."

He hadn't thought about that. Usually when he slept with women, he was definitely not their first, so his equipment was well-appreciated. And… Kikyo had been… a while ago. Kagome… well, it was probably going to be a tight fit. As Kagome's hand inched closer to the black jersey of his boxer briefs, he let himself think through what to do about that. Hurting Kagome was probably inevitable, which fucking sucked. But… maybe he could figure out a way to make her feel completely loved in the process.

Finally, Kagome's hands were around the elastic and she was pulling down his underwear. His dick popped out happily to greet her. Relievedly, Kagome's eyes grew wide, but so did her smile.

"You-you're still sure about tonight, birthday girl?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow, a bit amused that Kagome had not yet torn her gaze away from his newly liberated hard-on.

"Y-yes," Kagome swallowed.

And she was. Inuyasha was by far the most… gifted man she'd ever seen (although who was she kidding? She'd seen a total of two dicks. And neither were all that impressive). Kagome knew it would probably hurt. But… what was she going to do? Hide from penises for her entire life because it would hurt the first time? And… she knew Inuyasha would be gentle, and loving, and make it better than any other man would.

"Well. I'm gonna do my best to make sure you're ready," Inuyasha whispered, "Because I don't think I've wanted anyone as much as you before. And I was not lyin' about wantin' to please you."

"I know, Inuyasha," Kagome whispered back. "I… I don't want it to be anyone but you."

The only explanation was that when he made that fucking bet with Koga, he'd gotten jumped and died. Because he was in heaven. Kagome was heaven.

"Your turn." Inuyasha murmured, wiggling his feet out of the boxer briefs. "Matching set, huh Kagome? Were you expecting company?"

Kagome let out a rapturous laugh. She sure was expecting company, and this time the hot man in her house had not come as a surprise to her. So she was coiffed and showered and yes, wearing matching lingerie.

"You better not rip it," she faux-scolded. "It was expensive."

"I'll be careful. I-I'm gonna want to see these again." Inuyasha carefully slid Kagome's panties down. "I hope."

"I hope so too," Kagome blushed.

At Kagome's admission, Inuyasha stalled his movement to her bra. "Well. Usually it's supposed to wait until a date is over. But… how does dinner… uh… tomorrow night sound?"

"You're asking me on a date while taking off my underwear?" Kagome huffed, mostly to stifle the laugh trying to escape her.

"Y-yeah, I guess so." Inuyasha scratched the back of his head.
He probably should've waited. At least… until they'd finished the evening's activities.

"Hm. I'll have to think about it." Kagome tapped her chin with her finger.

"Seriously?!" Inuyasha did not succeed in keeping the whine out of his voice.

"No! Not seriously," Kagome laughed. "Yes dummy. Now… can we stop thinking about dinner and tomorrow and… and…"

"We sure as fuck can," Inuyasha exclaimed, then leaned in to unhook Kagome's bra. As he did so, he brought his mouth to her ear. "Thank you Kagome. Just… thank you."

Kagome turned her head to Inuyasha, and kissed him, feeling his smile under her lips. How was he this perfect? The casanova human trying to seduce her was now an earnest half-demon utterly unable to contain his enthusiasm to be with her. And… the fun had only barely just begun.

Inuyasha freed Kagome's breasts from her bra, tossing it into the pile of all the rest of their clothing. He began kissing down her neck, dragging his fangs across her delicate skin. Kagome moaned into the little pricks of pain that sent pleasure cascading through her. Inuyasha's hands found their way to the small of her back, then moved to her stomach as his kisses moved lower. His hands circled closer and closer to her center while his lips, tongue and fangs sampled every available part of her flesh. He lathed her clavicle with his tongue, causing another jolt of electricity to arc through her. When his hands and mouth found her breasts, he lifted them and kissed their undersides, causing Kagome to hiss. Inuyasha then moved his lips higher, applying the lightest suction to the swell of her breasts, letting his hands massage them as he worked them with his mouth.

Finally Inuyasha found its way to the rosy pink nipple on Kagome's right breast, giving it tender little flicks of his tongue as his mouth settled over it. The way Kagome's body spasmed, and how she groaned so deeply he could feel her rumble, was sending wave after wave of pleasure through him. His demon was choosing, and his human had already chosen. Inuyasha moved his mouth to Kagome's left breast, paying the same careful attention to it as he did with the right, suppressing the grin that wanted to break as she began to mutter his name under her breath. He knew what she wanted him to do, and he was eager to do it, but he wanted her out of her mind with desire first.

"Inuyasha…" Kagome's voice broke him from his worshipping of her breasts. "P-please."

"Please what Kagome?" Inuyasha smirked, nipping gently at her skin. He wanted her to say it. He would give her what she wanted, but she had to say it.

"Your mouth." Kagome was clearly having trouble forming words. Which only served to make Inuyasha hungrier for her. "P-please. P-put it… put it where you did before."

Leave it to Kagome, who currently had a very horny half-demon pressed against her, to be abstract when asking him to eat her out. Inuyasha was all too happy to oblige.

"Since you asked," Inuyasha giggled, then shifted himself down between Kagome's legs.

Her scent coated his nostrils. Yes, he would die happy as long as his nose got to be buried in Kagome's ginger musk. Inuyasha kissed Kagome's inner thighs, entirely encouraged by the way that she writhed under his mouth and fingers. Finally, finally, he put his nose where he desperately wanted to. Directly into the curls that sat at the apex of Kagome's sex. Her arousing scent was concentrated, but he still snuffled, to ensure that the only scent in his mind was Kagome's.

Slowly, cloyingly, Inuyasha opened his mouth, his tongue immediately making contact with the little bud of nerves that had made Kagome howl so effectively two nights ago. He remembered how he curled and lapped at it, which brought her the sharp pangs of pleasure, and those that slowly built her up to her climax. With his hands, Inuyasha gently played with the lips that sealed Kagome's sex, tickling and teasing in perfect congress with his tongue. Kagome moaned and groaned and writhed with his motions, and he followed her body's responses to bring her to the highest heights he dared.

Satisfied that she was ready, Inuyasha inserted a single finger inside of her. Her walls were burning hot, and so wet that his finger easily slid against the soft muscles within. As he removed it, her body gently resisted, leading him to moan as he lapped at her.

Kagome whimpered when Inuyasha removed his finger. The combination of his tongue's massage and his finger's invasion were pulsating through her body, leaving an intense tension coiled in her center. Kagome knew what was coming, knew what he was doing. Teasing her waiting climax higher. And soon, she would burst. She… she loved this but… she wanted more. She wanted everything.

"I-Inuyasha…" Kagome muttered, barely audible. "P-please. N-now."

Inuyasha grinned, and sped up his motions. His fingers danced over the lips of her sex more deliberately, and his tongue increased its ministrations until that delirious tension that had built in Kagome's core finally gave way, forcing a howl from her mouth and an earthquake of spasms to break over her body, and causing little spots to cloud her vision momentarily. Before she finished riding the aftershocks of her orgasm, she felt Inuyasha's fingers on her palm's lifeline, stroking her reiki back to sleep.

"D-didn't want a repeat of… Friday," Inuyasha explained, a soft smile whispering across his lips.

"You-you're... " Kagome said, trying to find the right words. "Thank you. For everything."

"Was nothin'," Inuyasha answered, placing a gentle kiss on Kagome's pulse point.

Even as she came down from the high of her climax, still she wanted all of Inuyasha inside of her. She wanted to be taken. It was right. And it was time.

"C-can we… can we continue?" Kagome asked, lifting herself onto her elbows to look at the gorgeous half-demon that made her feel so good (and had saved her life).

"You… you still want to?" Inuyasha asked.

"I do," Kagome repeated. "But first. May I touch you?"

He would have been satisfied to crawl into bed and hold Kagome for the rest of the night. He would have been happy to wait for her to get her second wind and immediately return to his position between her legs. That this beautiful woman asked so seriously to touch him and for him to… to fuck her was… well, just more evidence that he'd died and gone to heaven.

"Y-yeah," Inuyasha said, and he stood up and leaned into her. She could touch wherever the fuck she wanted.

Kagome beamed up at him. She moved her hands down his rock-hard abs, letting her finger drag down the muscle there (they were very very solid). She then trailed her hand down the silver hair that led to Inuyasha's groin, and finally wrapped her hand around the silken soft skin of Inuyasha's dick.

Inuyasha groaned at the contact of Kagome's hand. It felt so fucking good that he knew he was not going to last when he was buried inside of her. But maybe, this time, it was for the best. He thought—hoped—there would be plenty of time to explore Kagome's body in his future. When Kagome started stroking up and down his length, he had to raise a hand to still her strokes before he came.

"Kagome. I… fuck. If you want me… well… to complete the night… touchin' me like that…" Inuyasha knew his words were not making sense, but… he didn't want to say that he was so strung out from her touch that he was having to use all his concentration not to cum in her hand.

"W-will we have time for me to… to touch you… later?" Kagome asked, her hands still enveloped by Inuyasha's.

"Fuck yes Kagome," Inuyasha answered. "Everywhere and anywhere you want."

"O-okay," Kagome nodded.

At Kagome's assent, Inuyasha kissed Kagome's hand then scrambled over to his pants. He'd never been so glad he threw a condom in his pocket in his life. He returned to the bed, to the naked goddess before him, and cocked his eyebrow.

"You're a fuckin' dream Kagome, but I wanna check in one more time before we continue." Inuyasha played with the foil in his hand.

"Yes, Inuyasha," Kagome replied, exasperated. "I want you to fuck me. I've wanted you to fuck me since your stupid disguised human self knocked on my door. I wanted you to fuck me when you accidentally woke my reiki. And every moment since I met you, I wanted you to fuck me. So please, fuck me!"

Kagome's frustrated growl was enough. It was everything. Inuyasha barked out a laugh, then rolled the condom onto his dick. He had never ever been so happy to give a woman exactly what she was begging for. Inuyasha climbed onto the bed, crawling forward as Kagome scooted back.

"I don't wanna hurt you, but… shit. I definitely can't make any promises. But… I can make sure you're ready," Inuyasha said, balancing himself atop her. Inuyasha leaned his weight forward onto his left arm, kissing Kagome's neck, then used his freed hand to gently probe between Kagome's legs, coming back with two soaked fingers, which he gingerly placed in his mouth, happy for one more taste. "You're ready."

Slowly, gently, Inuyasha lined himself up between Kagome's spread legs. He paused, the head of his dick teasing at her opening, before plunging forward. He'd suspected that easing himself in only prolonged the pain, so Inuyasha buried his cock into Kagome as far as it would go. The heat of her body seared him, and she was so tight that he felt her walls pressing on him from all directions. The intensity of the sensation pulled a moan out of him as he started moving inside of her as smoothly as he could.

The moment Inuyasha was sheathed inside of her, Kagome felt something inside her body pop, followed by a sharp pain. Apparently "pop the cherry" was more literal than she thought. As Inuyasha started to move, Kagome breathed, trying to relax into the sensations. Yes, there was a little pain, but there was something that felt really good about being stretched, about being filled. Especially when she looked up into Inuyasha's bright amber eyes and could see the sense of wonder in them, a look meant only for her. It made the little nagging ache worth it.

"You… fuck Kagome." Inuyasha bent his forehead down to touch hers. "You're a goddamned dream. And you're letting me be your first."

Inuyasha kissed Kagome gently. Even as his motions continued, the pain was slowly giving way to some echo of pleasure from deep inside. Inuyasha then pushed himself up just enough to study her, running the fingers of his free hand through her hair, and wearing a dewey grin so wide his fang popped out of his mouth. But as he studied her, his brows knitted. Kagome guessed he could see that little tinge of discomfort on her face.

"It's okay Inuyasha." Kagome lifted her hand to caress his jaw. "I-I'm good."

Inuyasha stopped his motions abruptly, though his hand never left Kagome's hair.

"It hurts," he sighed.

"P-please don't stop!" Kagome tensed, feeling panic rise inside of her. She didn't want him to stop. Not when every time he rocked his hips the pain receded more and the pleasure rose. Not when she didn't think she'd ever felt so full and loved before.

"Wouldn't think of it." Inuyasha's smile lit his entire body. "I just… I think I can make this feel better for you." Inuyasha kissed the crown of her head. "Do you trust me?"

"I do," Kagome answered, and let Inuyasha pull out.

Inuyasha rolled around behind her, then pressed himself flush against her back.

"This way, I can touch you too." Inuyasha pressed his nose into the back of Kagome's neck, and wrapped his arms around her. "You ready for me again?"

"Yesssss." Kagome breathed, and opened her legs to welcome Inuyasha back inside of her.

As he pressed his cock to the hilt once more, the slight jolt of pain was back, but so too was the feeling of being filled, and that slow-growing feeling of that decadent tension.

"You feel so good Kagome. You're a fuckin' dream," Inuyasha whispered, as he started moving his hips again. Her body didn't seem to want to let him go while he thrust, resisting the pull and embracing the push.

Then Inuyasha's fingers danced down Kagome's stomach until it had settled on the little pearl that he'd so successfully charmed with his tongue. The second his fingers made contact, Kagome felt the little feathers of pleasure dancing back through her body. Inuyasha continued to whisper into her ear of her beauty, her scent, how she felt, how she made him feel. His fingers and his cock composed a symphony of pleasure, coaxing more and more bliss from her body, and the pain of her virginity receded farther and farther into the background. She felt like a musical instrument, and Inuyasha was a maestro. And in no time, Kagome was crashing down to earth once more, brought to orgasm by Inuyasha's talented fingers.

"K-Kagome," Inuyasha whispered as she finally came back to her senses. "I-I'm gonna cum."

Kagome hummed in satisfied assent, which was all he needed. Inuyasha let himself go, giving in to the clumsy thrusts as he too let himself be overcome, breathing Kagome's name over and over as he spilled himself into the condom.

He wasn't sure he'd ever enjoyed sex as much as he had that night, with Kagome. The woman he wasn't supposed to meet. The woman who he was certainly not supposed to fall for. The woman who let him claim her, knowing he was a half-demon shit.

Inuyasha stroked Kagome's lifeline once again, though her reiki simply purred, sated by the pleasure he brought her, and by the deep abiding bliss that they felt curled up together, naked in the afterglow of their first time.

"So… we still on for that date tomorrow, birthday girl?" Inuyasha purred into Kagome's ear.

"Mmmmm," Kagome answered, the smile so radiant across her face that Inuyasha could feel it through the back of her head.

"Good. Because… now that I found ya, it's gonna be real hard for me to let you go again," Inuyasha whispered, pulling Kagome even closer to him. "Fucking hell, 'Gome. I met you because I tried to one-up a rival by signing up to be a fucking escort."

"Yeah. It was a good thing my friends decided to be giant assholes for my birthday," Kagome said, her eyes closing, ensconced in her half-demon Adonis's arms. "So… what exactly are we gonna tell people if they ask us how we met?"

"We can just tell them we met on the internet. Hell, it's not even a lie," Inuyasha chuckled, inhaling the sweet scent of Kagome's hair, and the heady scent of their coupling. "And Kagome... W-was it—was I—a good birthday present?"

"The best." Kagome whispered, and she rolled over and gave her half-demon birthday present—hopefully soon-to-be boyfriend—a kiss.
