Chapter 3: acquiring friends

The next morning came fast; Inuyasha woke with Kagome still asleep in his lap. He smiled. He put his arms tighter around her waist and tried to pretend to fall back asleep but kagome would not be fooled so easily.

"Are you trying to pretend to go back to sleep" Kagome said opening one eye as she caught him.

"No…um I was trying to be quite while you still slept." Inuyasha turned his head and as he knew he was caught in the action.

"Uh huh" Kagome pulled his head towards her "but you are still so cute and I love you for you it" kagome kissed his lips as he kind of felt vulnerable.

They kissed for the millionth time, they wanted to stay in the hut but they both knew that would not be ideal. They need to start heading west to meet Inuyasha's brother. An unknown knock came to the door and Inuyasha overprotective as he is growled and set kagome aside to pound who ever disturbed him and his mate. Inuyasha pulled back to the hut door cover and yelled at the stupid person that disturbed him and his mate.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?" Inuyasha screamed at the black haired monk in purple robes stood smiling at the door with his staff in hand.

He held his hands up in defense, while he kept on smiling.

"Why my friend I did not mean to bother you but lady sakura asked me to accompany you and your mate to her hut for breakfast this morning. My name is miroku and my wife Sango will be waiting for us in the village." Mirkou stood in the doorway of the hut and tried to explained his presence.

Inuyasha was dumb founded and unsure of what to do. The monk seemed to be truthful but he still was not trusting of anyone. That was just the way he protected himself. He looked at Kagome unsure of what to do. She smiled and came over to Inuyasha to calm his demon.

"Inuyasha it is fine. I am hungry anyway. Of course we will be right out" kagome touched his arm and he let go of the door cover and followed her back into the back of the hut leaving miroku unsure if he should wait or leave them.

"huh, I better not anger his demon any more than I have. He is already overprotective of her and they haven't even officially mated yet." Miroku suggested to himself as he walked back to the village.

He decided to leave them to get dressed and they would meet him at Sakura's hut.

Inuyasha followed his mate to the back of the hut and whined the whole way.

"Kagome why do we have to follow the monk to that miko's hut for breakfast. We are not staying we must get going. I am not even hungry, do we have to go. And beside I don't like sharing you." Inuyasha crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.

"Because I am hungry and it will be nice to show our thanks." Kagome started to walk towards the wall away from him and started to untie her kimono and let her bra wrap be shown

Inuyasha immediately noticed her taking off her kimono. All his attention was on her at this moment. Kagome even though teasing him was taking her kimono off in front of him. Inuyasha blushed and turned his head away.

"Kagome, I'm sorry to stare." Inuyasha blushed and turned her head to allow her to get dressed.

Kagome giggled. Inuyasha turned to her when she giggled. Kagome allowed her kimono fell from her shoulders to the crease of her arm. Her toned, tan back shown in the now bright sunlight. Inuyasha eyes widened at the shock of her tight body and that she would allow her kimono to fall before him.

"Inuyasha you are easily pleased, aren't you" Kagome questioned with her back still to him.

All he could get out was a nod and a quiet "yes".

Kagome turned and he could see her breast wrap, and how big and firm her breast were. How tiny her waist was. How beautiful she was in the morning light. His beast growled and rattled his bars on his cage he wanted to take her but inuyasha overpowered him.

"Kagome, why do you tease me." Inuyasha slightly growled.

"Because I have to torment you a little bit and besides we are soon to be mates are we not. We have been away from each other for a long time, why not enjoy the sight of each other's body, even if we can't mate just yet." Kagome facing him and giggled and walked slowly to him. Who was fighting his beast and backed into the corner of the hut.

Inuyasha and his beast fighting

God she is beautiful, she is so much more than I could of dreamed of

She is gorgeous, we have to mate her. I must feel her flesh, her warmth, the rest of her body.

I agree beast but in due time. We must be gentle, she is our mate and we must show her all of our love and our thoughts first. On the next full moon. We will mate.

Full moon. .7 days.. Beast will have to wait.

End of inuyasha and his inner demon fight

"Kagome, you are so beautiful. I want to see so much more of you and even feel more of you but I would rather wait till the full moon. I will be a full demon and my demon blood will be ideal to place the mating mark on you." Inuyasha walked towards her with lustful eyes." Inuyasha painfully said to his beautiful tormentor and mate

"Well till that day, Even though we won't mate for 7 days, my body wants you more than anything. And my inner demon agrees". At that moment inuyasha, took her by the waist and held her so close to her body that there was no room for even air. Inuyasha nuzzled the space between her neck and shoulder. He took in her scent and smiled a little.

" You look beautiful. You are a amazing women and I am glad to call you my mate and I can't wait to place your mating mark here…" he nuzzled that space between her neck and shoulder before he pulls her kimono back on her shoulders.

They both smiled and took in each other's scent. Unaware of the time, they were due for breakfast. Inuyasha felt and heard his mate's stomach growling with the lack of food. He brought Kagome's face up to look at him.

"Come, we will get you something to eat. Get dressed and I will be waiting for you…" Inuyasha kissed her and waited for her at the door.

Kagome nodded and went to back to getting dressed. She only bought 3 kimono's from her home in the future. The one she wore with her father's mark on the back. One with Inuyasha's family crest and one when they finally mated with both their marks on the back intertwined. She decided to wear the kimono with inuyasha family crest on it. It was all black with the silver dog on the back with red accents. Kagome dressed and decided that she look good and went outside the hut to meet him. Inuyasha watched as she walked out in a kimono with his family crest on the back. That kimono meant that they were intended mates and he was happy she wore that kimono and wanted to acknowledge that. He smiled and walked to meet her.

"Kagome you look amazing. I am glad you wore that kimono, it looks good on you." Inuyasha eyed her up and down

Kagome smiled as her intended mate complimented her. They walked to the village and all the villagers have been sending evil eyes and saying comments behind their back. They didn't like inuyasha in the village so freely. He had once tormented that village and would ransack it for food or just the joy of killing anything when he's demon got the best of him.

"Inuyasha, lady kagome over here." A monk in purple robes holding a golden staff ushered them to sakura's hut.

Yuuki had approved of kagome's kimono. She had acquired kagome to help her with the breakfast. She left inuyasha in the main part of her hut and enter the kitchen, where yuuki and a demon slayer named sango stood. She obvious was married to the monk as she glared at her husband we had been eyeing kagome's butt. Yuuki ushered kagome to cut some vegtables to be placed in a stew. Sango was interested in kagome's intentions, and why so broke the spell on the well.

"So kagome, yuuki has told me you are the one to broke the spell on the well." Sango questioned her.

" um yes that was me. I needed to, I need to head to the east to my father's land to start my search for an evil demon named naraku. He was why I and my mother were forced into the well in the first place. He has to be killed; he has killed so many people and damaged so many lives…." Kagome started before her anger rose and

Inuyasha felt her rage raising, this angered him. He rushed into the kitchen.

"kagome why are you angry. Have they harmed you, whats going on in here." inuyasha spoke as he rushed in the kitchen.

Kagome, yuuki and sango all looked at the angry hanyou rushing into the kitchen claws ready.

"uh inuyasha…kagome anger rose because she was telling us about naraku, the reason she was sent to the future" yuuki spoke to calm the enraged male hanyou.

Ignoring every one but kagome. Kagome walked over to inuyasha and calmed with a mere kiss. Kagome looked in his golden eyes and that not only calmed his anger but he fell in love more with her.

"inuyasha, yuuki and sango merely asked how and why I returned here, and I had to explain to them about naraku and it angered me to talk about the evil demon." Kagome looked at the half demon.

Inuyasha leaned on the doorway and explained them the demon named naraku:

"
Narkau is a evil demon that will be destroyed at all cost. He has destroyed many people's lives just for the chance to get to her, she has the power of the shikon jewel in her very soul, with that she was born a very powerful miko and inu-hanyou to boot. She alone can destroy demons or purify the world of any evil in anyone's heart. And in Naraku's chance taint her soul so he can rule the evil in people's heart and eventually destroy them." Inuyasha pointed to Kagome and until that moment she did not understand her true power, her true reason why she was here in this time. So her power was the sole reason why this evil naraku wanted her. To use her. She could not let this happen. Her soul was her own and she would die before she would let evil use her power. Kagome clenched fist her power began to show through. Everyone could only back away from her, her power was too much for even their human hearts. Kagome barrier burst open.

"NARAKU, you will NEVER use my soul for your own evil intentions. I WILL DESTROY YOU. Come find me you coward." Kagome screamed. She was beyond pissed her own eyes bled red from her demon side taking control of her after her angry got the best of her.

Inuyasha was alittle shocked at her power. He did not known the true limits of her power. Inuyasha knew he could calm her down but to go unscathed was another thing.

Inuyasha called to kagome. But at a safe distance.

"Kagome please calm down naraku will get his day, believe me. But tonight is the night to acquire friends like Sango and Miroku to join our group." Kagome calmed a little bit but she was still quiet pissed at him.

"Naraku must not get to me. He can't live on able to destroy people's lives like that, who knows how many people have been a victim of his deception and lies." Still angry but calmed down enough so the others could get close to her.

"We all have been a victim in his web of lies. He has my brother under his control and has cursed my husband right hand but I still think it is his lust for girls behinds. He is such a lecherous monk." Sango twitched as the monk had indeed had his hand on her butt.

"monk I told you." Sango's right hand print showed brightly on his face.

"but my dear sango, it is the curse I swear it." The monk could only smile as he rubbed the bright red hand print on his face.

Yuuki entered from the kitchen to the living area with the finished stew. She handed everyone a bowl of stew and a bowl of rice. Everyone enjoyed the tales of kagome and she enjoyed getting to know sango and miroku and even got rather off subject when kiara and shippo came in from playing with the children in the village.

"sango, miroku we're back. Is the priestess here yet I can't wait to meet her…"shippo a rather cute fox demon child with a small cat demon with two tails entered the hut.

"aye shippo they are here. This is kagome the priestess, and inuyasha her mate to be." Yuuki stood to hand shippo a bowl of stew.

They all just enjoyed each company for the rest of the day. Getting to know each other and kagome getting to know inuyasha. But a demon lurked in the shadows watching kagome and inuyasha and snarled every time he touched kagome.
