Disclaimer: I do now own InuYasha, Rumiko does. ^.^

The night was quiet and foreboding, both of them could feel it. Someone was after them and the only person they could think of was Kouga, except that it really wasn't his style. Kouga would just confront them and speak his mind.

"What are you gonna do, Inu?"

InuYasha continued staring at the wall in contemplation. He expected hated looks, mocking, even fights like the one with Kouga, but something felt very different in regards to this malicious letter.

"I honestly don't know."

Warmth and comfort washed over him as Kagome wrapped her arms tightly around him. Nothing in the world mattered more than the safety of a loved one, Kagome and InuYasha felt it; the protectiveness and determination to keep each other safe. That night they both fell into a restless sleep, each plagued by nightmares of what was to come.

On the other side of town, a boy sat in a darkened room lit only by the soft glow of a single candle. He stared into the flame and felt a strong power surge within him as the flame flickered and turned black. Smiling to himself, he stroked the picture of an angelic face, beautiful brown eyes, long flowing black hair, and skin the color of porcelain. He would make her his, and no one would be able to stop him…. not even that silver-haired freak.

(The next morning)

Kagome awoke to InuYasha rubbing light circles on her stomach, obviously wanting a quickie before they had to leave for school. She giggled as he slid his muscular hand over her side causing her to jump a little. Shifting to face him, Kagome slid her fingers lightly over his tight stomach until she gripped him firmly, hearing a harsh gasp escape his lips. Smirking, she gently stroked him, feeling him thicken more and more until she knew he was about to burst. InuYasha forcefully pushed her down under him and literally ripped her clothes off. Kagome was reeling as he began to suck and nibble on her neck, down to her plump breasts. The warmth in her belly intensified as he trailed his lips slowly down her stomach, making her quiver beneath him in anticipation. InuYasha kissed her most intimate area and heard her moan in delight. He continued his sweet torture until she was at the brink. Quickly, he replace his mouth with his now throbbing manhood and thrust into his mate. The joining was enough for Kagome to fall over the edge and scream her release, but InuYasha wasn't done . He wanted her to feel devoured by him and completely satiated. The slow even movement of his hips into hers was driving Kagome crazy. She wanted, no needed him to go faster! Gripping his muscular ass, she slammed him into her and heard him grunt in ecstasy. After that, neither one of them could stand the languid motion anymore and started a heated rhythm, their breaths mingling as Kagome tried to grip the moist skin of his arms, riding out the pleasure and feeling closer than ever to her hanyou. InuYasha felt the build of his orgasm and thrust harder and faster, knowing she would soon feel hers too. Kagome began to scream, moan, and whimper in pure bliss as she felt their auras join and meld together. InuYasha slammed into her a few more times and roared his release. Kagome tightened her hold on him and felt her body convulse with ultimate euphoria.

It took a good 10 minutes for them to feel the calm after wild crazy sex like that. Kagome sat up and stretched her nude body slick with a light sheen of sweat.

"I'm going to take a shower before school."

Slowly, to make sure her legs would hold, she walked to the shower and was stopped by strong arms wrapping around her body. Leaning into him, she grabbed his hand and walked him into the shower with her where they lathered each other up and enjoyed the water beating on them, the gentle motion of each other's hands as they explored their bodies once again.

Walking to school, all the good feelings from that morning left them. It was obvious their secret hater went to school with them. Kagome looked up at InuYasha and felt the need to stay near him all day, just to make sure no one tried anything. Alas, they had to go their separate ways until Literature class. Holding each other close, InuYasha inhaled her scent and felt terrified that something would happen. Everyone stared as they passed by the embracing couple. One boy in particular stared with envy and hatred, his black heart yearning for Kagome in a most vile way.
