Later that night…
Inuyasha and Kagome were walking to their car. "I now know why we had to be a married couple." Inuyasha shuddered at the memories of their encounter with Jakotsu.
Flashback…"Hello, Jakotsu. I'm Inuyasha and this is my—" Inuyasha was cut off by Jakotsu jumping into his lap.
"You're so cute! How about we ditch this place and go to my house?" Inuyasha's eyebrow twitched, and Kagome had to stop her self from growling.
"I'm STRAIT okay!! This is my wife Kagome!" Jakotsu reluctantly got out of Inuyasha's lap.
"How come all the cute ones have to be strait or married? It's not fair!" he pouted. Kagome crawled into Inuyasha's lap and stayed there for the entire meeting and even after Jakotsu left.
End Flashback…Kagome started to growl. "If I ever see him again I'm gonna' kill 'im!" Inuyasha smirked and leaned over kissing Kagome on her cheek.
"Thanks." Kagome turned beet red and got in the car. Not a word was said during the whole trip back to the hotel. Both to embarrassed to really say anything.
They made it to their room before Inuyasha started growling. That Bankotsu fellow had tried a few stunts he shouldn't have. Anyone who touched his Kagome wouldn't get away with it unharmed. Inuyasha would probably end up killing him with Tetsusaiga.
Inuyasha crawled into bed and pulled Kagome close to him. She could feel his uneasyness. She snuggled closer to him to try and ease his insecureities. Inuyasha started to lick Kagome's neck, earning a moan. Taking it as a good sign he proceeded to nip the flesh around her collar bone.
The scent of their arousal hung hevily in the air. Before Inuyasha could stop him self, he was on top of Kagome, straddling her waist, and kissing her passionatly. She didn't seem to protest, she was even kissing him back. They broke apart from lack of air, panting and staring into each other's eyes. Inuyasha bent down and nuzzled Kagome's neck.
"Kagome?" His voice held a hint of nervousness. "Can I… mark you?" Kagome nodded her head meekly. Inuyasha sunk his fangs into Kagome's shoulder just above her collarbone, then licked away the blood.
Finally, having calmed down, they just laid in one another's arms and fell asleep.
Morning…
Kagome and Inuyasha had finished packing early that morning and now were enjoying them selves at a park.
"Ha! You can't catch me Inu!" Kagome started running down the hill and when Inuyasha tackled her they tumbled down the rest of the way, ending in a very embarrassing position.
Inuyasha was on top of Kagome straddling her hips and pinning her arms high above her head, making their bodies quite close together. They were practically nose to nose with rosy red cheeks from exaghstion and embarrassment.
"Umm… You're it?" Inuyasha said before running away from Kagome. For a while they played tag before deciding that they would head to the airport.
Once they were back in Nagasaki, they had their luggage taken to Inuyasha's house and they went for a walk in down town. (They took off the concealing spell.)
Kagome was dressed in a light blue sundress, with matching heels and sapphire earrings. Inuyasha was in a black and white tux with the tie undone and hanging over his shoulders. The black over shirt was unbuttoned and his white shirt was untucked. If you didn't know better you'd say they came from a senior prom.
They were talking and enjoying them selves until an icy voice came from behind them.
"So the whore has forgotten her sins? You don't deserve to be happy." Inuyasha and Kagome turned to face none other than Kagome's 'Father'. "You don't deserve to forget her!" With that he extended his arm in Kagome's direction and what looked like purple electricity surrounded her. Inuyasha growled and lunged at him but he disappeared into the shadows.
Inuyasha turned to Kagome to find that her face was pale and her eyes were distant and brimmed with tears. He could smell the fear radiating off of her. She was going through something Inuyasha couldn't protect her from and he hated it. He hated not being able to help her.
Inuyasha collected the crying Kagome to his chest before bounding off to his mansion. 'If I see that sorry basterd again he won't live to regret it.' He ignored questions from everyone. He was intent on getting Kagome to her room and helping her any way he could.
As soon as he placed her in her bed she curled up into a ball, as if it would protect her somehow. Inuyasha looked at her trembling body with guilty eyes. He laid on the bed and pulled Kagome close to him. He started stroking her hair and back in hopes of comforting her. Thankfully his scent was able co calm her down enough to sleep.
'I'm here Kagome. I'm not leaving you. I'm staying right here.' Inuyasha closed his eyes in order to get some type of sleep.
Dream…'No! Leave him alone!' Kagome watched helplessly as Naraku beat the shit out of Inuyasha. 'No… please…' But it was to late Inuyasha slumped to the floor dead.
"Inuyasha?"
Kagome was crying rivers down her cheeks. She yelled out his name but he wouldn't respond.
"Inuyasha!"
"INUYASHA!!""All your loved ones will die… And it's all your fault. First your Mother, and now your mate. Who's next?"Kagome woke up in Inuyasha's arms. Tears streamed down her face, and her throat was soar from screaming. She immediately latched onto him and refused to let go. Inuyasha stroked her hair and shushed her.
"It's alright Kagome. I'm here." His hold on her waist tightened as he tucked her head under his chin. Kagome was able to choke out a few sentences before She continued crying profusely.
"He… He h-hurt y-you. He-he killed you! Beca-because of m-me, h-he killed you!" Kagome didn't have to say anymore.
'That basterd. He's making Kagome have these nightmares. He's the one causing my Kagome this pain.' Inuyasha's eyes flashed red as his anger grew. He was going to kill that man a hundred times over.
Sesshomaru opened Kagome's bedroom door to find out what the problem was. Inuyasha was lying in Kagome's bed next to her and growling menacingly. Sesshomaru was never one to be afraid, but it did put him on edge.
"I need you to report what information Jakotsu was able to give us." He soon found that it was not the right time to try and pry Inuyasha away from Kagome right now because his growl increased in volume, his eyes flashed a deeper red, and he chucked a mini tape recorder so it hit him right between the eyes. He picked it up and closed the door.
"He's marked her. Inuyasha is going to be even more protective of her and seeing her like this has caused his blood to become unstabil. One wrong move and he'll turn into a full blooded demon and probably kill everyone but Kagome." The people around him were a little on edge for a while before Koga started acting up.
"That mutt took my Kagome as his mate!? I'm gonna' kill the lousy son of a--" He was abruptly cut off when Inuyasha's fist came in contact with his gut. Inuyasha's eyes narrowed dangerously, still red with rage. His tone was deadly and controlled.
"Stop your incessant howling. You're only making this situation harder on Kagome." He stomped off to Kagome's room and didn't leave it until morning.
"Is she okay yet?" came Sango's worried voice. Inuyasha sighed.
"She's doing better but the nightmares don't stop. She's barely gotten any decent sleep." Inuyasha sat at the table and propped his head in his hands. His tone was stressed and guilt ridden.
"I don't know how to help her. I can't stop the nightmares." Songo sat next to him.
"There is a way. If you can concentrate hard enough you should be able to send your spirit into her mind." Inuyasha looked at her like she just grew another head and tentacles.
"You can do that?"
"Only mates can do it, but it's possible." Inuyasha stood up and headed for the door. Right before exiting he mumbled, "Thanks."
