InuKagLover 1992 : I hope to draw it out a little longer. I, when reading a good story, hate for them to wind it down too fast. I don't feel that things would resolve themselves that quickly. I find that I can't read anymore when they do that, but at the same time I don't like for a story to go too long because that can become annoying. I might have a few more chapters or so to go before I call it quits. When I do that I hopefully will have my newest story to add to the site. :) As for his big mouth and her insecurities I feel that a reconciliation between them would be harder and so it can't be just a little "I'm sorry can we get together and I promise it will be alright now" kind of thing. It should be deeper than that and yes, I know, Inuyasha isn't that kind of person I still feel it should be more realistic.
Guest : Thank you! I wanted to do something different than some of the other fics. :)
windbreaking : Thank you! I was hoping it came out alright. As I said, I have never really done one and so I went back over other fights in other animes as well to find how I wanted to move thru it without rushing it or drawing it out too long.
Talawolfgirl : Yeah, he should try to make up for the times he screwed up, but she has to work on her own issues. She's never open with him about her feelings, like he should be able to see when he can't read her mind, but at the same time he's not used to that kind of attention since not even Kikyo wanted to be with him unless he turned human for her.
Thank you all for reviewing and reading this fic! It was a joy to write it and while it isn't done yet it will be ending soon enough. :) Thanks again for all the views and visitors that read this story!
Kagome walked into the hot springs, her ears listening for the door closing behind her before removing her clothing, tossing each article to the corner of the room as the heat from the spa's steam warmed her body. She sighed in contentment of the feeling of being out of her sticky smelly clothing. Heading for the spring itself, her footsteps echoing in the medium sized room louder than the sound of the door opening she failed to notice that someone else had came in the room, their form so still one would think it were a statue. Kagome groaned as her first foot touched the almost too hot water of the spring, her body shivering with pleasure. This hot spring was soooo much warmer than the others they had come across and she wondered about that as her other foot joined in the warm of the water.
"Ohh..." she husked as she stepped further into the waters until they were at her navel, the steam making her skin glisten. She wished more of the springs were like this even as her mind drifted off somewhere deep in her heart, a yearning for another hot touch... the one of a certain silver haired male. She yearned for his hands, his mouth to be where the water was, his appendages the warmth she felt on her thighs and navel. Sinking into the water before disappearing under the surface she failed to hear the rustle of clothing or the steps of a male walking toward the water where she was until she came up, her back still toward the entrance, towards the intruder just behind her until his hands wrapped around her upper body, his claws touching her breasts softly. She gasped, immediately trying to turn to see who was with her, but he wouldn't allow her, not yet as his mouth curved around her hair and his mouth pressed softly against her neck... kissing and sucking softly. She groaned, a warmth pooling in her lower region. It felt so good, his mouth working its magic on her body, but he said nothing and she really needed to know who was touching her, bringing her such pleasure so again she tried to turn, pulling away to look up into golden orbs.
Her mouth fell open upon seeing that Inuyasha was before her, his hands on her waist with such lust and something else gleaming in his golden eyes. She tried to say his name, but he stole it with the crash of his lips on hers. Taking advantage of her open mouth he stuck his tongue into her mouth, her body relaxing as he explored her mouth, taking time to taste it all as she groaned, her hands finally moving from her sides and onto his arms. She moved them up, enjoying the feel of every twitch of his muscles, the feeling so wonderful and leaving her moaning in excitement...
The Miko sat up, her body drenched in sweat and a tingling that encompassed her whole frame with a sexual warmth. "Kagome?" came a soft voice to her right and she turned to see Sango looking so worried, her brown eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Are you okay?" Kagome said nothing, just nodding as she looked beyond the slayer to see a door, the flap blowing slightly with a strong breeze. It was dark outside the flap, which meant either she had been out until nightfall or...
"How long?" she asked, her hands falling onto her stomach which almost gave her an answer since it was much fuller now, more rounded.
"About a week," was the simple response and noting that Kagome began to look around with almost a tenseness about her. She seemed to be off in thought even as she scanned the small space of Kaede's hut where only the slayer was with her. It then hit the slayer that maybe Kagome was looking for the others... or maybe just Inuyasha as he had been standing next to her in that battle, their combined power the final hit that the Queen had needed to finally be gone. Her spirit no longer roamed the earth... Probably in Hell with Kikyo, she thought with a small smile. "Miroku is at the square with Kaede showing the newest members of the village around and Sesshomaru has left with Rin and Jaken," she stated before pausing to make sure that Kagome was listening. The raven haired woman was looking at her and seemed to be listening so she continued, "The rest of the fighters have gone back home, some of them like Koga are going to go back to that area and help some of the villages that were hit by her monsters. Isn't that funny. Never thought I would see the day when he would help humans with demon mates."
"Yeah... Never thought he would be so willing to do something so nice," the Miko said, sounding drained and yet, she sounded tense, like she was on edge and could run at any moment.
"Inuyasha is helping Koga, though he wanted to stay here and watch over you," Sango said watching for the reaction she expected and wasn't disappointed when Kagome visibly relaxed, turning towards the door again. "What's wrong, Kagome? You know you can tell me." She couldn't believe that the Miko would keep anything from her. They had always shared everything, no matter how big or how small. "Kohaku is safe too." She expected her friend to react, but it wasn't quick in coming and then suddenly she seemed to come back to herself as she smiled at her friend.
"That's great news, Sango!" she cried sounding excited for her friend, but her mind was on the escape. She needed to get away from her... from him. "Um, I kinda want to go back to my home, ya know, to let my mother know that everything is okay?" Sango blinked. She had almost forgotten how long Kagome had been from her family and completely understood. She nodded slowly, almost mechanically.
"Yeah, I understand. Let's go," she said, standing up before holding her hand out for her friend. Kagome almost told her no, but figured she could just trick her friend, the thought immediately bringing guilt to the surface, though she held her face in place, hiding what she was thinking from the slayer. Smiling at her she looked around, spotting her bag and then it occurred to her that they now had the complete jewel so quickly she glanced in the bag to find the stone that had caused so much trouble lay on the top right where she could see it. Closing the top she followed Sango out of the hut and into the cool night. It didn't take long for the pair to reach the well, silence still hung between the two when Sango said something, "Wait, are you sure that you won't hurt yourself jumping into the well or even getting out on the other side."
"Oh, well, my mom put a ladder in the well on my side, so that should be no problem," she remarked. "As for jumping in, that should be no problem." She touched her stomach. "These pups are like their da-" she stopped, her eyes trying to fill with tears even as she willed them away. "Well, their demonic blood should protect us, after all it's not just a fall. I float down on the other side." She could see the torment in her friend's brown eyes, darkness not a problem with her new demonic eyesight. "Sango, trust me I will be alright." When the slayer finally accepted her words and waited by her as she looked down into the well Kagome began to wonder if she was doing the right thing. Why didn't she ask Inuyasha about whether he wanted the babies or not? Because, I mean look at the way he reacted to the fact that you were pregnant and then when he found out they were his?! He didn't look happy! That was true. He hadn't seemed to be happy about that revelation and her kids deserved more, even if they never would have a father figure. If she ever found another man and she doubted she would ever feel about anyone like she did Inuyasha, then they would have to love her children too. It was not a solo act!
Finally saying good-bye to her friend she climbed over the lip of the well and hopped off and into the void. Sango watched her friend disappear from view in a flash of blue light before heading back to the village, hitting the tree line when another glow of blue light lit up the area and Kagome climbed back out of the well, leaving her yellow bag in the bottom with regret before heading off in the opposite direction of the village. I'm such a coward, she bemoaned in her mind as she looked back at the well a final time before turning back to head off into the darkness. She yearned to return to her time, even knowing that she would give birth to children who would not fit in in her world seemed trivial for a moment when she thought of all she was leaving and she wasn't thinking of all the material things. No, she was leaving behind her mother, who didn't even know she was going to be a grandmother, much less of what had come of her daughter after weeks and weeks of absence as well as her brother or her grandfather.
She regretted that she couldn't go back, not when she had made a promise to keep her children safe by not going back there and that was only because of Sesshomaru making her promise otherwise she would have gone back and found a way for her children to lead normal lives in her time. It was a futile thought because she knew it would neve have happened. Her children would stick out even more in her time with what she could only hope they would look like. She would love them even when they were going to be different and not even in just appearance, but also because like their father they would be stronger than the other kids. No, this was the best plan and she continued to walk down the path with the moonlight leading her way. She wished that she wasn't wearing the Kami awful dress she was wearing, blood still staining it from Naraku's death and the demise of the Queen. Sighing as she walked she hoped that she would find a place soon because there was a chance she was too far along in her pregnancy to be travelling. Taking a turn she found herself groaning in pain as a twitch in her lower stomach twisted thru her body.
"Fuck," she gasped, willing the pain to pass, a hope that it wasn't what she thought it was. Soon it faded, but a feeling in her heart told her that she better find help now because she might be going into labor. Taking a deep breath she moved quicker, again hoping that she found a place soon.
... Taking advantage of her open mouth he stuck his tongue into her mouth, her body relaxing as he explored her mouth, taking time to taste it all as she groaned, her hands finally moving from her sides and onto his arms. She moved them up, enjoying the feel of every twitch of his muscles, the feeling so wonderful and leaving her moaning in excitement. She tasted so delicious, like she smelled. Right now he could smell her arousal perfuming the air with intoxication that not even the sake could give him. Feeling drunk on her smell and the taste of her in his mouth he dug his fingers into her hips, his claws marking her skin and the smell of her blood drawing his demon even closer to the surface as those same claws grew longer. She gasped when his elongated fangs nipped her lip, but she didn't pull back, a moan of satisfaction escaping into his mouth.
He pulled back, but only to press kisses to her jaw, his teeth nipping at the feature he was currently perusing as he hands began to move, his claws just barely touching her as he stroked her sides. Goosebumps broke out and the woman before him shivered as she drew out in a whimper of need, "I-Innnuuuyaaassshaaa." His body grew tighter at her enunciation of his name, that same part of his body rocking against hers once as he growled.
"Kagome," he rasped back as he pulled himself away from her, his hands falling to her hips again. She whined softly when he stopped, her eyes still shut as she continued to enjoy the tingling in her body, her lower body feeling slick even in the water. "Kagome," he said again, his lips brushing against hers, hoping that she would open her eyes and look at him. He had something important to tell her and he wanted her to pay close attention. She slowly opened her eyes, as if they were to heavy to lift. Struggling to keep his demon at bay he words came out ragged, "Kagome, I want you to know that it's you that I want, you that I love." She smiled at him, her lips red from kissing.
"I love you too, Inuyasha." Smiling with happiness that she had spoken the words that he had feared she would never say in such a situation, that she was so willing to be standing before him in all her sweet glory giving herself to him. He crushed her to his body, his mouth covering hers with passion that seemed to burn in his veins as the purple slashes of his demon form appeared on his face, his hands moving with more need, more urgency to feel the entirety of her body. She followed suit, her small hands moving over his creating tingles of pleasure that brought him higher and higher when...
The Hanyou sat up straight as pain that was vastly different than the kind that came from manual labor tore thru his stomach, pulsing over his body in such a way that it was slightly unsettling. He looked around him, noting that it was still nighttime, the shapes of the Koga and his men littered around the large space, but something in the back of his mind told him he needed to leave, that there were more important matters to take care of right now. What was it? What was that pain?
"Kagome," he breathed, realization that something was off with his mate. Rushing to the door he took off down the path without a word to any of the others in the camp, his mind stuck on the fact that Kagome was in pain and he didn't know why. He hadn't wanted to go with the wolf leader, wishing to stay by his mate's side as she lay unconscious, but Sango had pointed out that Kagome wasn't in the best shape. Not only had she expelled so much energy, but she was hurting because she believed he didn't want her and the words of the Queen came to mind.
"The fact that she believes you didn't love her as she loved you..."
But he did love her! He had loved her for far too long, waiting to say something to her and not because of what everyone thought was the reason. He hadn't loved Kikyo, hadn't wanted the dead Miko. He had been feeling so bad about her death and then her resurrection had made him even more distraught. Hell, he had tried to get her to give back her part of the soul to Kagome, pleading with her that the other Miko needed it. He had felt bad when she had pointed out that she would have to die. That he was asking her to die again. He had been so torn since he had caused the death of the first person to treat him different, but he also felt guilty because he had failed her leading to her death and was betraying her by running off to be with her reincarnation so quickly. He hadn't known what to do, but he had loved Kagome as much as he could without being with her as he desired.
"...she worried about how her children would be treated by you..."
He had been envisioning life with her, mated to her with little pups running around underfoot... seeing her so radiant as she swelled with his child, but had thought that she wouldn't allow him that honor, that joy of being her mate. She could have any guy, that was evident with all the suitors that seemed to flock to her, why would she want him. The man who had tried to kill her upon laying eyes on her. The male who had belittled her because of his own conflicted emotions. He had treated her so terribly so why would she allow him to call her his? Allow him to father her children? To touch her in such an intimate way?
All of that didn't matter right now! He had to get to her, to protect her! After that he would give her space if she still wanted it, but he would prove to her that he loved her! He would make her see that he wanted her and his pups!
Oh no! Kagome has run off, leaving behind her friends and the Hanyou that she loves, but on top of all that it appears that the Miko is going into labor! Can he find her before she has the babies or will she manage to find help before they are born? Stay safe!
