Disclaimer I don't own InuYasha

Chapter 4

Never had her heart, beats so strongly for anyone before, he filled her every thought. Kagome found herself falling more and more in love with him everyday. Last night, he saved her, comforted her. Unbeknown to him, he wasn't the only one awake. She loved being in his arms, hearing his heartbeat, feeling safe and protected, and she was not about to let sleep keep her from savoring every moment of it.

'But does he feel the same way, and more importantly, will he allowed himself to love me?' She found it ironic how a woman she has never met before could have such a huge impact on her life. Her mind drifted back to what Inuyasha's brother had said…he would not object to her staying here, if Inuyasha wants it.

'I love him…I yearn for him. If I do this, I'll have my freedom…free to do whatever I want, be with whomever I want. Even if Inuyasha doesn't want me to stay with him, at least I can go home...' With her face radiating with determination she went to find Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru glanced down at the severed head the guard. Wrinkling his nose in disgust, he gestured to a servant to clean up the mess. "Inuyasha did this…for the wench," he stated.

"My lord," Jakken said, making a big show of bowing in front of Sesshomaru.

"Yes."

"I'm curious as to why you are so interested in having this human mates with Inuyasha."

"Inuyasha …he's a flaw in our family bloodline. Father's last wish was for me to take care of Inuyasha, to let him live with me in this castle, else I would have put him out of his misery a long time ago. I tolerated that hanyou only out of respect to father," he paused, a flash of anger appeared briefly on his face.

"My tolerance for him was shattered when he was ignorant enough to fall for Kikyo…not only was she a human, but also a human with a grudge against our family. It was unfortunate enough that father mated with a weakling, but to think Inuyasha was about to follow in our father's footstep, by making her his mate on his coming of age. Luckily, Kikyo would not touch him. Still…he needed to be taught a lesson. I decided to let him do as he pleases…to mate with humans. I picked this human because of her resemblance to Kikyo, to remind him of what he couldn't have.

"Father said…Inuyasha is not to be harmed physically," he paused and gave a small chilling smile, "but he never said anything about emotionally. This human will help me cause a pain worse than death to my softhearted brother…to know that the reason why she gave herself to him, is so she can leave him. Inuyasha will be damned before he let another human into his life again."

She stood nervously outside of Inuyasha's bathroom, ready to give herself to the man she loves. Her heart thumping loudly in her chest. She smoothed the front of her kimono, and chewed on her bottom lip.
He laid his head back, trying to clear his mind, get rid his mind of these lustful visions of being with Kagome. Nothing worked, he has been in a state of half arousal all day. 'It's no use.' He sighed. Her scent still lingered, no matter how much he tried to wash it off.

"Inuyasha." His ears flickered at the sound of her sweet voice.

"What do you want, wench?" he was careful to avoid calling her a bitch. It'll only serve as a further reminder of how much he wants her.

She entered, wearing a pink kimono, with a cherry blossom in her long hair. "You mind if I share a bath with you?" Kagome asked. Before he could protest, she untied her kimono, letting it slip off her shoulders and slide slowly down her body. Her eyes downcast…afraid he won't like what he sees.

Inuyasha sucked in his breath sharply, his eyes wandering over her body. 'She's gorgeous.' "Feh," was all he said before turning away, thankful that he was sitting in water.

Kagome stepped gingerly into the large tub. She sat quietly across from him, trying to control her heartbeat. 'This is it….I'm naked, he's naked…' her eyes drifting downward to where he was sitting. They sat there for a while, not looking at each other, not saying anything.

'Come on Kagome, DO something!' "You want me to massage your back?" she blurted out, breaking the silence.

He said nothing, but turned his back to her.

She closed the distance between them and went to work, her hands kneading deep into the tissue along his spine, trying to work out all the knots. 'He's so tensed.' He finally relaxed and leaned his head back on her shoulder, his bare back pressed against her breasts.

Kagome wet a sponge and tenderly washed his chest. Her small hands drifted lower and lower, tracing his muscle lines along the way. She began to place small butterfly kisses on his shoulders, then his neck. Inuyasha clenched his fists and groaned. He grabbed her hands before they could go further and turned around to face her. "What are you doing?" his amber eyes glowing with a strange light.

She wet her lips, "Please…Inuyasha…I want you," she whispered and placed his hand on her breast. Her other hand disappeared underwater, letting her fingers lightly touch the tip of his manhood.

His control snapped. 'I can't take this anymore…I'm claiming her!" His mouth met hers savagely, letting go of all his tension and frustration. His kisses were ruthless…almost as if he was punishing her. She moaned loudly, and flung her arms tightly around his neck. Inuyasha took the opportunity to slip his tongue inside her mouth, tasting her, exploring every crevice. He found that she tasted even sweeter than her scent. Their tongues waged a war against each other, each wanting dominance

The hanyou lifted her slightly, and wrapped her long legs around his waist. Kagome blushed, feeling his arousal against her stomach. A rush of heat in her lower belly. His hands circled her waist, and began to slide her body up and down, simply enjoying the feel of the friction. Occasionally he would let his tip rub against her opening. "Inu…yasha," she moaned again in his ear.

His lips began to drift down her neck, sucking on her pulse point. Kagome threw her head back in ecstasy. "God…I've wanted you for so long," he groaned. She pressed her ankles against his tailbone, wanting him to increase his speed. Her action caused Inuyasha to buckle his hips wildly, his arousal seeking for her heat.

They both experienced a small orgasm, leaving them with a piece of satisfaction and a hunger for something more. Panting heavily, they gazed longingly into each other's eyes. "Not here." Inuyasha stood up with Kagome's legs still tightly wrapped around his torso. She buried her face on the crook of his neck, taking tiny nibbles.

He stumbled out into his bedroom, and laid her gently on his bed, placing a soft kiss on her already swollen lips. Kagome tried to deepen it, but he pulled back and untangled her legs from his body. Inuyasha stood up and lit a fire in his fireplace. "I want to worship your body, before this night is over every part of your body will be etched deeply into my memory," he said huskily. Kagome shivered from the intensity of his gaze as his eyes drank her in.

He approached her slowly, like a lion stalking his prey, his amber eyes never leaving hers. "I want to see if the rest of you taste just as delicious." She flushed hotly, suddenly feeling self-conscious, and tried to cover her breasts. "Don't," he warned, taking her hands away, kissing the inside of her palm lightly. He got on top of her, capturing her hands and placed it above her head. Kagome tried to bit back a moan, aroused both by his action and the feel of his erection pressed heatedly against her thigh.

'I thought I was supposed to be the one doing the seducing. Now I'm…' The pressure of his lips against her nipple interrupted her thought. She arched halfway off the bed. He continued to suckle her greedily, his other hand exploring her curve.

As promised, he visited each and every part of her, tasting and kissing everything she had to offer. 'O god. His tongue, it's like he's drinking me…' She thrashed wildly; trying to grabbed hold of something, anything, as he brought her close to the edge. "Don't…stop," she cried out softly.

Much to her dismay, he stopped, licked his lips slowly, and smirked. He then went back to stroking her rosy peaks with his tongue. 'Damn him!' Frustrated, she attempted to break free of his hold, needing to return his caresses, wanting to make him feel just as good.

He chuckled silently at her impatience and released her. Her hands eagerly touched his body. She grabbed his face and kissed him passionately, tasting herself on his lips. She could feel the tense muscles on his back. "Please…I want you…need you inside me," she pleaded in between kisses.

He replied by giving her a hard kiss that took her breath away. "You do know that you will be mine forever. My mate. Only I can touch you…taste you…" She nodded. Looking lovingly into her eyes, Inuyasha lifted her hips and gently entered deep inside her, breaking her barrier. He kissed her apologetically, whispering words of endearment. Gradually, the pain subsided and a wave of pleasure washed through her body. She pushed her hips against his, and wrapped her legs around him in encouragement.

Inuyasha planted both elbows on either side of her shoulders as he began to push in and out of her, going at a mindstakenly slow pace. "Kagome," he groaned. 'So warm…so tight.' Her moans and whimpers were driving him crazy. He wanted to go faster but was afraid he'll hurt her. Kagome sensed his hesitation, "don't hold back...need you to go faster...harder," she whispered.

Without warning, he quickly increased his speed, his animal instincts taking over. He drove into her with such force that she couldn't even think, or speak, her mouth formed a silent O. All she could do was feel the way his body was loving hers, the wonderful sense of his manhood spearing into her wet channel over and over again.

Kagome raised her hip to meet his every thrust, her inner muscles contracting around him. She buried her face into the crook of his neck and clung to him tightly, her nails scratching his back, drawing blood. He smirked, sweat dripping down his face. She licked his chest, causing him to pump faster, harder into her.

They kissed each other frantically as they neared their peak, the intensity of feelings, building, growing stronger and stronger. Every nerve was on fire. With one final thrust, Kagome experienced an explosion of sensation, and screamed out each his name in passion. He peaked at the same time, reared his head back, and releasing deep inside her. Waves of orgasm shook through their bodies, leaving them trembling in contentment and pleasure.

Inuyasha collapsed on top of her, his seeds still spilling into her. Both panting for air, their bodies slicked with sweat. She rubbed his back gently and snuggled close to him. Not wanting to crush her, he rolled over, pulling out of her. He dropped featherlike kisses on her eyelids, her cheeks, and her lips. "That was incredible," he said breathlessly.

Kagome ran her hands across his chest, and brushed the sweat slick hair from his face. That's when she noticed the scratch marks. "Did I do that?" her voice hoarse from screaming. She kissed his chest tenderly in apology.

"Animal." He smirked. Her face reddened in embarrassment. He grabbed her hands and kissed the tip of each of her fingers. "Are you okay?" She nodded. He gave her wolfish grin before pulling her in his arm. "Good because I'm not done with you."

"Now who's the animal?"

"My lord, it is done. Should we take her now?"

"No, wait till the morning. For one does not know true misery till they have tasted true happiness."
