young kagome


Kagome sighed as she collasped on the bed before her, she was so freakin tired, shed stayed up past midnight crying over Inuyasha and now was regretting every minute of it. He didn't deserve her tears, she kept on telling herdself. Too bad she wouldn't listen to herself.

She turned to Sango and Ayame(Kikyo at Sesshomaru's and Rin was out with Shippo) who were sitting right across from her. Staying at Sango's for a night was unusually quiet. Usaully Sango's mother (Ukamaize) and her father(Takumiru) fawned over Sango(their remaining child) and offered countless plates of chocolate chip cookies (Which of usaully Ayame and Rin devoured while Sango, Kikyo, and Kagome just chomped on the cookies) or many different sweets.

"Kagome..." Ayame began, but was silenced from a glare from Sango. The ookami youkai sighed and abandoned her former thread of conversation. Instead, she put on a cheery facade and went ". Hey, Kagome-chan! The dance is in a week! What're you going to wear?"

Bad move.

Kagome glared at the ookami and Ayame blanched as Kagome turned away abruptly.

"Kagome..."

"I'm going home..." Kagome said softly, so softly that it was almost dangerous and both of her friends gasped.

"Kagome! Its midnight! Maybe we should get to bed!" Sango offered, seeing the look Kagome gave her, she put on a different face. "Kagome, its in the middle of the night, and for all we know Naraku could be out there. Maybe a mugger or two." Sango tried to reason, hoping that Kagome would see her point...


...which if she did, she didn't listen or or care...

It was almost one, in the middle of the night and Kagome was walking down the middle of a dark and creepy alleyway. And if that wasn't enough, it was raining and pitch black, it being the night of the new moon and all. Kagome sighed, as a tear on her cheek mingled with the rain. Thats when she heard the screaming.

Running towards the sound of the voice, Kagome dropped her bag and speedened up her asent. She had to find out what was going on! Somone was in trouble! She stopped aburptly when she saw who was getting attacked by who. Her eyes weren't decieving her! She should've known this was to happen! Where was Sesshomaru though?

Kikyo was being held down while Naraku had been ripping at her shirt, screaming at him angirly and was punching at him uselessly.

"Where is the Shikon no Tama!?" Naraku yelled as he held a struggling Kikyo in arms length. He didn't seemded fazed as Kikyo landed a good punch in his jaw and a good kick in the grion . (wow O.O) "I won't repeat myself again, wench!" Naraku hissed, slapping her hard across the face.

"I.don't.know!" Kikyo snarled, glaring at him with such venom that Naraku flinched, then grinned. He tore off her shit completely and Kikyo screamed again. Her arms got pinned underneath her as a bag fell out of Naraku. A gun with blood everywhere, all over it and two pieces of jewerly.

Kagome ran towards Naraku, who turned his head at the last second to be met by a karate kick in the mouth that sent him reeling back several feet into the wall behind him. When he looked up he saw a very angry teen covering up her friend with her jacket and throwing glares at him. Chuckling, Naraku stood.

"Ya good for nothing bastard! How dare you attack my friend!" Kagome seethed, her blood boiling past its boiling point and almost to its breaking point. So much that it even scared Naraku a little, well, before he got his hands back on his gun and pointed it directly at Kagome's face.

Kagome froze and stared at the gun, while glaring at Naraku the whole time. Kikyo had covered herself with Kagome's jacket and had stood up beside her friend as Naraku leered in thier faces.

"Where is the Shikon no Tama?" Naraku repeated, wiggling his eyebrows at them. "Tell me or I'll have to punish you..." He added softly, making Kagome and Kikyou want to retch by the tone of his voice and what he was implying. That sick good-for-nothing bastard. He laughed softly. "I repeat, tell me where the Shikon no Tama is!"

"I'd rather die!" Kagome spat, glaring icey daggers at her opponet.

"Your wish is my command!" Naraku mocked, preparing to pull the trigger when a white and blue blur tackled him, knocking the spider hanyou to the ground wresting a full blood pissed off inuyoukai. "You..." Naraku gasped as Sesshoaru's hand found its way to his neck. "Hehehe... a little to late! Kagura!"

The wind witch emerged from the shadows, looking forlorn if not detirmined all the same. She pulled a knife from her obi and charged at the daiyoukai. Instantly, Sesshomaru had to release Naraku and leap out of the way to avoid being cut by that knife. Inwardly he swore, he could've killed Naraku then and there, but Kagura had intervened.

Damn.

"Kanna, Gukiaru!" Naraku chirped as the dude with a hygiene problem and the emotionless girl steped out of the shadows. "Restrain the girls! Kagura, help them. Gukairu, help me get the dog!" Naraku growled, jumping away from Sesshomaru's next attack as Kanna and Kagura finally managed to get ahold of Kagome and Kikyo.

"..." Sesshomaru leapt at Naraku again, but the hanyou jumped aside and managed to deliver a good firm punch in the jaw that sent him flying back a little bit. But the daiyoukai leapt right back up, anger like fire flowing through his veins. "Die!" He snarled, sinking his claws into Naraku's flesh and ripping some of it out.

Naraku let out a cry of pain as blood sprayed everywhere and Sesshomaru threw the piece of the hanyou's am to the groun in disguist. The spider hanyou was powerless as the inu youkai bent over to pick him up by the collar..untill his foot met Sesshomaru's jaw. Surprised, the daiyoukai was unable to deflect it and was sent sprawling over to the wall.

"You think I'd let you win so easily?" Naraku seethed as Sesshomaru leapt back up and took on another attack stance. Naraku laughed as Gukiaru intervened, blocking Sesshomaru from the girls and the spider hanyou. Naraku luaghed again as the daiyoukai began to fight the puma youkai. "Gukiura, keep him occupied!" He marched up to Kagome, put the gun in her face then said in a dangerously soft tone. "Where is the Shikon no Tama?"

"I don't know." Kagome snarled back, Naraku shrugged, raised the gun and prepared to pull the trigger. Kagome closed her eyes and prepared for the inevitable when...

"Oi! Naraku, she doesn't have it!" A voice echoed through ears, Kagome, Kikyo, and Sesshomaru perked up at it familiarity. Inuyasha... Kagome saw, through the wind and the rain, he stood proud and regal (O.O wow, Inuyasha and regal are aquainted...scary) and glaring with two BROWN(O.O) eyes at the spider hanyou. "Cause..." Inuyasha made a little grin as he pulled out a small pink orb "...I do." There was complete silence at his words.

"So..."Naraku said softly ", you stole the jewel from her to protect her from me...forgetting that without you she is practically unprotected.-" Inuyasha growled at his words, knowing that they are true, but lets the hanyou continue "-You didn't know, that the part about the Jewel becoming corrupt from her love for you, was a lie?" Naraku grinned, lifting up the gun to Kagome's throat. " In fact, her love for you has almost completely purified it. You see, while the jewel was inside Mayu's burning hatered for Kikyo," Naraku looked over at the angry teens ", it was tainted from the evil that enshrouded it...now hand it over to me!"

Suddenly, Naraku was sent flying into the wall behind him and his gun shot at who it had been pointing to-Kagome. The girl screamed and awaited the pain when another person pushed her aside and took the blow right in the chest. Kagome opened her eyes to see the human Inuyasha staggering from the blow.

"Inu..inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed, dropping to her knees to catch him as Sesshomaru and Kikyo joined her. "Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Please wake up! Inuyasha!" She shook his body as blood began seeping into her good skirt, but she niether noticed nor cared. She felt Kikyo pull her up as Sesshomaru wordlessly picked up his little brother and looked at Kikyo.

"Miroku's alone again tonight, his parents are at Hyoko for the next exchange student," Kikyo sighed. Sesshomaru nodded, and without a single word the troop made a mad dash for the perverted teens house.


Miroku could only gape as they carried in the injured hanyou that was currently humanoid into his house, dripping blodd every where. "Where do I put him?" Sesshomaru asked calmly, though inside of him was a raging storm of emotoins. He'd listened to everything Naraku had said and it sounded to him that Inuyasha had only done what he thought was best for Kagome.

"In the basement, on the spare bed," Miroku directed, to him, it was wierd. When his best friends older brother came in his house carrying the unconsuis form of his currently-human best friend that had been missing for the past two weeks, that is what he considered to be just a little odd. Well, he had to face it, everything in Tokyo was a little odd.

Sesshomaru set his brother onto the spare bed, a few seconds later the youkai had tore off a strip of his shirt and began to wrap it around Inuyasha's middle. "Grab as many spare sheets as you can find," the daiyoukai commanded. The humans nodded mutely, and went off in seperate directions.

Kagome was thinking about Inuyasha and how he had saved her, in his human form, from death. On th night of the new moon, now she understood while he and Sesshomaru had cancelled all those dates on that night. Inuyasha because he didn't want the news of his human night to get out, Sesshomaru because he felt it his urge to protect his younger brother. (Yeeeeah, sure)


His breathing had slowed, but his heart rate and temperature had increased; and his breathing was shallowed and soft. If only the night would hurry up and daylight would let him revert back to his normal form. Kagome watched him sadly, knowing that once he reverted there would be hell.

Unanswered questions, rising tensions. Is that what the wait was all about?

Suddenly Inuyasha's hair began to lighten to a light biege, then finally to silver/white and his ears appeared. It took every ounce of Kagome's self-will to restrain herself from tweaking them. Ridiculous, her boyfriend(or ex, she wasn't sure) was in a life-death situation and she was wanting to tweak those little adorable ears of his! Sighing, she watched as he began to open his heavenly gold orbs.

He would be surprised, she thought slowly as he observed them each in turn with a frown. When his eyes landed on Kagome, he looked away.

"So..." Kagome began, deciding to break the silence and looking at Inuyasha "...was everything Naraku said was true?" There was no answer and Kagome felt herself getting angry. "Tell me!" No reaction, sighing, she went to the last resort:: the Kotodama no Nenju. "Osuwari."

Inuyasha fell to the floor.


"-so you overheard Naraku's plans and somehow thought by ridding herself of both your and the Shikon no Tama's presence, that Naraku would leave her alone?" Miroku said with a raised eyebrow, in return, was whacked eceptionally hard by Kagome as Sesshomaru glanced at Kikyo. For a second time in her life, Naraku had tried to violate her. "Man, you're an idiot."

Inuyasha slumped his head and shoulders in shame, looking away guiltily while Kagome gingerly placed her hand on his shoulder, he stiffened to her touch and fehed. He felt he wasn't worthy of any of her attentions, he may've had her best interests at heart but that was what had destroyed her heart in the end.

And now here she was, perfectly content on just looking at him. Making him blush and push her away, she looked at him sadly and turned away.

No.

He couldn't let this happen like it had to him and Kikyo. Naraku had destroyed thier relationship and thier innate trust in one another as love. Now they were no more than good friends.

No!

Friends would have to be enough on Kagome's part! He couldn't let her suffer! He loved her too damn much to let anything happen to her like it had to Kikyo! Damn him! If it hadn't been for his brother, both Kagom and Kikyo would be dead now and Inuyasha would be distantly responsible.

"Why so quiet?" Miroku asked, but all he got in return was a heated glare from Inuyasha. Sighing, he looked at the form of Kikyo(who had fallen asleep) leaning against Sesshomaru. Nodding, Miroku watched as Sesshomaru picked his sleeping girlfriend up and carry her out of the room. "We're going to give you two some space."

And like that, the hanyou and miko were alone.

"Inuyasha..." Kagome whispered, the hanyou grunted to acknowledge her "...thank you..." Inuyasha looked at her, shock and surprised regeristing sparely on his face. "..for only thinking of my wellbeing."

"Keh."

Silence registered between them, Kagome studying Inuyasha who was very interested at a stretch of blank black wall and the quiet atmosphere made it seem as if hours had passed by (though it was only twenty minutes) untill Inuyasha 'kehed' again as he began to look outside.

"I forgive you, Inuyasha." Was heard and the hanyou turned to look at the object of his thoughts.

Why?

Why had she forgivin him? After he had left her (even if to protect her) to grasp the meaning of reality alone? How could he been so cowardly not to tell her he loved her?

How? Why?


Sesshomaru just sat still with Kikyo in his arms, the event he had witnessed replaying itself over again in his mind. He had yet to rid himself of it or find the reason Naraku was so obsessed about Kikyo. Whatever it was, it was seriously fucked up and digusting.

He'd seen from a distance as he hurried to try and stop it before nothing happened. Naraku was attempting to rape his intended! Temee... ugh. He was getting very worried untill he spotted Kagome come into the scene, shocked then angry. Managing to tackle the spider hanyou before getting the muzzle of a gun shoved in her face.

Suddenly, Naraku was sent flying into the wall behind him and his gun shot at who it had been pointing to-Kagome. The girl screamed and awaited the pain when another person pushed her aside and took the blow right in the chest. Kagome opened her eyes to see the human Inuyasha staggering from the blow.

"Inu..inuyasha! Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed, dropping to her knees to catch him as Sesshomaru and Kikyo joined her. "Inuyasha! Inuyasha! Please wake up! Inuyasha!" She shook his body as blood began seeping into her good skirt, but she niether noticed nor cared. She felt Kikyo pull her up as Sesshomaru wordlessly picked up his little brother and looked at Kikyo.

That blood...all that blood on his younger brother, Sesshomaru would never forget. But he had to propose to her now and mark her...if someone tried that and suceeded...the taiyoukai shuddered making his koishi hold to him tighter. Knowing what he wanted to do..the taiyoukai looked down at her...after she'd been through today...it could wait...

"Sesshomaru..." Kikyo's husky, but melidous voice reached into the confines of his mind "..whats the youkai mating ritual?"

Could it?

He got riled just thinking about it.

"Umm..." He blushed "...pretty much when you humans have a tryst...but when the youkai have found the mate they wish to claim, they mark her and she will reject every other man that tries to do anything to her but help her. The female will have to be with the male...forever...even after death."

"Sesshomaru?" Kikyo asked, he inclined his head ever so slightly as to acknowledge her presence. "There...is something I need to tell you..." she blushed and looked away "...my whole life I thought I was some dirty waisted...-thing-...but when Inuyasha came along, that changed," Sesshomaru's heart expeirenced a new emotion...jealousy. ", he didn't care, untill Naraku managed to rip us apart. Even after I was nearly violated, you still cared for me... and eventually asked me to be your girl. And all those times we shared are unforgettable...but Sesshomaru...what I'm trying to say is that I...love you..."

Sesshomaru's eyes widened at the prospect and looked at her in shock, Kikyo's face had gone red and she had looked away, blushing profousely. "Kikyo..." he replied in his deep, rich voice "...then it is fortunate that such feeling are not unrequieted."

He took the moment of her shock to capture her soul in a slow, passonite display of affection. A mere caressmet of the lips but a ignited fire within, of which Kikyo felt something hard beneath the jeans and blushed. She quickly forgot of her past and wrapped her arms around Sesshomaru's neck. The taiyoukai broke off, looking a little (and strangley happy) wound up tight.

"No...you...you're not ready..." Sesshomaru gasped out as an undignified blush appeared on his pale cheeks.

"I'm more ready now than I'll ever be..." came Kikyo's aroused voice.

No more words were needed.


LEMON


Clothes were cast aside so quickly that one wasn't sure it the garments had just dissapeared from thier bodies and the naked flesh collided agaisnt each other as the flaming serpants danced as the two tried to taste every part of the sweet cavern as they could. It was Sesshomaru who broke off.

Cheek, lips, chin, neck, shoulders, collarbone. His excited lips explored every ounce of that area as the woman under him simoultously moaned his name. He smelled her wetness, he smelled her arousal and it only fueled him even more. He took one of her full breasts in his hands and began to lightly caress the bud with one hand while tracing patterns with the other.

Kikyo's moans increased when his hands moved to the neglected bosom and instead, his mouth took the treated nipple as his hands treated the other. Kikyo was in a state of esticay. The taiyoukai smirked as his mouth moved to the negleted breast and his hands moved further south.

Under her breasts he lightly outlined the smooth rounded curves and lowered his hands to feeling the curvacous woman under him. She moaned in reponse to his antics that were driving her crazy. The inuyoukai 's mouth finally left her breast and began to kiss the same area's his hands had explored. Kikyo moaned softly as she clutched her fists slightly.

Thats when his mutinous hands reached her area. They caressed the soft insides of her thighs and lightly rubbed against her temple and to that the onna let out a low, long groan. Sesshomaru smirked and inserted two fingers into her vagina and began thrusting with his fingers. Kikyo let out a short rasp and arced her back as the youkai continued, inserting a third finger.

Kikyo came, wondering how such a feeling could reign inside her.

His tongue did the same as his hands did, thrusting in and out with the serpent that could arouse the miko so quickly and be arguing with his trouble some half-brother the next day.

She came yet again, and the taiyoukai, having quite enough of playing around, whispered softly in her ear. "This wil hurt." She nodded softly, and with a grunt, they were joined. The miko had to hold her breath as she slowly felt the pain ease away. Nodding again, they began moving at a slow pace, thay was soon forgotten as they soared into the skies.


END LEMON


Miroku watched the couple through a keyhole, watching them as they were a project, finally, as they came to their end and cried out each others names, Miroku came to the conclusions he was looking for.

Yes, he had learned a couple things from the taiyoukai oday.

He just hoped Ssshomaru never found out.
