Impossible Love

Chap 3

YuriYaoiHet_ILoveEmAll!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you all! I'm so glad that you like my story. This one's gonna branch off a little bit, but you'll see why in the next one. Oh and Lemony thoughts were with me when I wrote this chap. There isn't a real lemon, though. You'll see what I mean.

Inuyasha looked over at the sleeping Kagome. She'd been asleep for three days now and he was getting worried, but was afraid to move her much until she woke up. He growled and looked down at the poultice he was preparing. This would be the third one. Her bruises and gashes still looked nasty and she had them all over her body.

He groaned at the thought of putting it on her again. He would have to unwrap her from the haori to put it on a few of them and they were in the most interesting of places. He suddenly couldn't get a comfortable seat.

There are times when a man's hormones got out of control and this was one of them. He growled and continued on the poultice. That stupid wench! Why won't she wake up? He thought looking up at her.

He finally finished the poultice and scooped some up with his hand, then stood to walk over to her. He knelt beside her and stayed like that for a moment, before grabbing the end of the haori and uncovering her. He felt his face flush and he growled again. Stop acting like a child, He berated himself, it's not like you've never seen a naked female before!

He looked over her body and had to admit that she was much more gloriously proportioned than most he'd seen. He had to wonder with she'd stopped being that scrawny little wench and had grown into this beautiful woman. Well, he'd always thought she was beautiful, but know she was gorgeous.

Her skin was light and fit her like a glove. Her face was slender and her cheeks were high and well defined. Her eyebrows were finely arched and the same ebony color of her hair. He let his gaze flow down her body to her legs. They were long, slender and finely muscled; they were the kind of legs that could wrap around a man's waist and hold on, no matter how rough the ride.

He jerked back and shook his head to clear it of the images that suddenly flowed through his mind. Images of those legs wrapped around his waist as he pounded into the sweet opening between them. He glared down at her. How dare she make him feel that way towards her!

Yes, she belonged to him and had belonged to him for a little over a year now, but he still couldn't see himself actually mating her. If he did, then his father's dream would come true and he'd be the cause of the Inu clan's destruction. He couldn't bring himself to do that.

Damn you, wench! He thought angrily. Why does she have to seem so appealing to me?

He finally dipped his fingers into the poultice and ignored the demands of his body. The sooner he got the poultice on her, the better. He started to dab it on a particularly bad gash above her left breast.

Kagome's eyes slowly drifted open and she tried to make sense of the fuzzy world around her. She blinked a few times, trying to clear her vision. She could now make out someone leaning over her and after a few more blinks, she identified this person as Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha . . ." She whispered, wincing at the pain of her jaw.

He jerked back, blushing wildly. "K-Kagome, y-you're awake!"

"What happened?" She whispered, trying to ignore the pain.

He growled and clenched his fists. "That damn wolf beat you and then I beat the shit out of him. I should've killed the bastard."

She nodded sleepily. So tired, She thought. "What were you doing?" He gave her a confused look. "Just then."

"Oh . . . I was . . . uh . . . I was . . . p-putting a p-poultice on your w-wounds." He stammered.

"Oh, okay." She yawned and couldn't stop the squeak of pain as her jaw protested the movement with vengeance.

"Are you alright?" He quickly knelt beside her and put a hand to her uninjured shoulder.

At the touch of his hand on the bare skin of her shoulder, she realized something. She was lying on his fire-rat gi, butt naked. "YOU HEANTAI!!!" She started to slap him, but a jolt of pain ran through her body and she cried out.

"What happened? What's wrong?" He leaned closer to her.

"It h-hurts!

"Stupid wench! I told you he beat the hell out of you! You should've stayed still!" He started to put the poultice covered hand on her shoulder.

"Stay away from me, bastard!" She tried to sit up, only to cry out in pain and fall backwards sobbing.

He snarled. "Who do you think has been taking care of you for the past three days, huh?! KAMI?! No! It was me! I been bustin' my as protecting you, cooking, keeping you dry and shaded, feeding you and gathering herbs to treat you and preparing them! FOR THREE FUCKING DAYS! You had me worried you weren't going to get up. And my reward is a slap and you refusing my help and calling me names?!" He snorted and looked away. "I don't understand you ningens. You'd rather die than owe anyone anything. Especially a half-breed or a youkia." He glared down at her. "Now, if you don't lie still, I'll knock you out, and then treat your wounds!" He raised his hand and growled. She squeezed her eyes shut and went still, except for her trembles of sobs and fear. He put a mental reign on his temper. "Gomen. I'm only trying to help you." He whispered. He started to rub the poultice on and she tensed when he touched the gash on her left breast. "Don't worry. If I'd wanted to, I could have taken you already. Heaven knows I've wanted to." He whispered, not realizing he'd said it out loud.

Her eyes flew open in surprise and she looked at him. His body was tense and his eyes, darker than usual, were a deep molten gold. She glared at him. He was lusting for her.

"So I've been asleep and you've been lusting for me and I'm supposed to believe that you didn't take advantage of me?!"

He growled and got a dark look on his face. Suddenly, he was straddling her and his face was inches from hers. He held his body up, so that he wouldn't hurt her. She gasped when she felt the hard rise of his body against her abdomen. His chest brushed across her nipples every time he or she breathed and she couldn't help but think it felt delicious. His warm breath washed over her lips and he looked deep into her eyes.

He leaned down further and breathed into her ear. "You've been mine for a year now, Kagome. I could take you anytime I please. I haven't even marked you yet."

"M-marked me?" She asked in a whisper.

"Hai. My mark on you would be a sign to all that you're mine and then no one would even dream of touching you." He started tracing the lines of her ear with his tongue.

She shivered delicately and closed her eyes. He nibbled lightly on her earlobe and then started kissing down her neck. Is he going to do it, Kagome thought frantically. As if he could read her mind he whispered, "This might sting."

He suddenly bit down on her shoulder, his fangs piercing the soft skin and she clenched her teeth to keep from crying out. He pulled back from the wound and lapped at the blood as it ran free, until it stopped bleeding. He then kissed it and muttered a spell under his breath.

"To those who now see,

This girl belongs to me,

She is mine for eternity,

This girl belongs to me."

He got off of her and went to get the rest of the poultice. Kagome lay wide-eyed, wondering if what he'd said was true. Vaguely, she was aware that she should be angry, but she couldn't remember why.

Inuyasha came back and she looked up at him. "Inuyasha, does this mean . . ."

"You're mine and you'll be mine until the day we're both gone." He knelt beside her. "Now let me treat your wounds."

She nodded and closed her eyes. So now she listens to me, he thought angrily. He growled and glared down at her.

She opened her eyes. "What?"

"Now you listen to me?"

She rolled her eyes. "I didn't feel safe around you until a few moments ago."

"So I had to make you my mate before you'd trust me?!"

"No! It was what you said before you marked me!"

"So-"

"Inuyasha, please just listen to me!" She yelled and then cried out in pain.

"Don't talk! Gomen! I'll shut up!"

"I-I have t-to tell you some-something." She was cut short by another jolt of pain.

Inuyasha was at a loss. "Kagome! Kagome, listen to me! Stop this! You're just hurting yourself!" She started writhing around and crying out in pain. "I'm taking you back to the Western lands! Iya-Yuma can help you!"

Kagome couldn't think. The pain controlled her thoughts and actions. She couldn't contain her tears and she cried out, just before slipping into unconsciousness.

"KAMI DAMMIT!!!" He wrapped the gi around her and gathered her into his arms. He then kicked off of the ground and started leaping through the trees. "Hold on, Kagome! Please, hold on!"

Told you it was gonna branch off. R&R.
