Chapter 8: Back to Normal… Almost
As she opened her eyes to stare into the darkness once more, Kagome found that it was still nighttime. The tree was opened and showing the stars brightly in the sky before her. And her husband and mate was beside her, smiling up at the little glowing flecks in the sky.
"Can't sleep, can you?" he asked her jokingly.
"Nope, and I don't think I'll be able to sleep normally for a week after today," she said with a hint of a devilish smile on her face.
Inuyasha laughed. Looking at her now in the very dim light from the stars, he did see why she had a point.
Her beautiful naked body was coated in sweat. And the smell of it made his head simply tingle. He loved the way she smelled, and judging from the look on her face, she was most likely willing to go once more tonight.
But, all he wanted right now was to hold her, and enjoy the remaining hours where he could have her all to himself like this. Because it would be a while before they could do something like this again.
Looking over at the remainder of their dinner, Inuyasha sighed. Tomorrow, everything would be back to normal.
And he could hardly wait.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The next day… around noon…
"Kaede!" Kagome said running to hug the old woman standing in her garden.
"Ah, Kagome, ye and Inuyasha have finally returned," she said smiling and giving her a simple hug back. "Everyone else is at Miroku and Sango's."
"Thank you," she said smiling at her.
Running back to Inuyasha's side, she looked at him for a few moments. There was an odd look on his face as he stared at Kaede, and she had a feeling he knew something was up.
"Is something wrong?" she asked snaking her arm into his as they started walking.
Inuyasha could smell something odd coming off of Kaede, but he really had no idea what in the world it could be. It almost smelled like the same thing that had been going on between him and Kagome for the past few days. But then again, who would actually do something like that with the old woman, and why?
He figured it was most likely a misunderstanding whatever it was. And knowing him, his senses were slightly off due to the amount of times is body's chemistry had changed anytime he and Kagome had made love. He had been feeling a little drained from their escapades over the past three days, but he was wondering now if something odd had happened.
Upon seeing the hut, Inuyasha smiled seeing his brother leaning against the outer wall. But when they were finally within a few feet of Sesshomaru, Inuyasha tried his best not to laugh.
Besides being extremely pale and weak, Sesshomaru's eyebrow twitched every few seconds from above his brow. Almost as if something had actually scared him into dementia. Kagome bent down to his eye level, just to see if he was actually breathing.
"Sesshomaru?"
Looking at her slowly, a small smile fell on his lips as he looked to the red mating mark on her neck and her now slightly golden eyes. Even after the terrifying story Miroku had just told himself and Koga, he had to smile at his sister-in-law.
Sometimes, he found it hard to believe how much his Rin and her looked alike. And now, with a few little bits and pieces of both he and his brother in their DNA, now both women looked even more outstanding.
Even though Rin's transformation had been far harder on her than Kagome's just by judging, he thought she looked just as beautiful as his mate did.
Whom had ran into the woods to throw up along with Ayame.
"I will be fine," he said, still feeling like he was going to lose his lunch. "Just need some recovery time is all."
"Recovery? From what?" Inuyasha said now leaning down as well.
Without any warning, Totosai came around the corner of the hut, whistling and holding a basket of herbs in his arms, most likely for Kaede. As he stopped to look at the two demons and miko, he smiled widely at all of them and waved. Sesshomaru's eyes bulged, nearly out of his head as he looked away from the old man, and even found himself wanting to cry over the mental image Miroku had given him only moments before.
"Good to see your back Master Inuyasha," he said winking at him. As he went back to whistling his tune, Kagome's eyebrow raised as she looked at him.
Something was very, very, very off about the old man today.
When he was finally out of sight, Inuyasha looked to his brother. And found himself getting worried.
Sesshomaru had gone grey.
"Bro? Hey, what's the matter?" he said shaking him.
When his older brother looked to him, Inuyasha's eyes widened seeing the obvious implication in them. But it couldn't be. Totosai was almost older than dirt? Who on earth-
Kaede.
Upon hearing someone throwing up around the corner, Inuyasha looked to see who it was. And to no surprise, it was actually Koga. And he looked just as bad as his brother did.
"Hey guys," he said noticing them and turning around as he wiped is mouth off. "So, what mark did you two get?"
Inuyasha raised his eyebrow at one of his two best male friends oddly. And now, he really had to ask.
"Did something happen that we should know about?"
Koga looked at his friend, and then at Kagome, whom now seemed far more beautiful than she had before her mating. But that was due to the changes Inuyasha's demon blood had had on her. He really didn't want to answer, just because the idea of holding down whatever else was in his stomach was still appealing, but he figured they could get the clean version instead of the one he and everyone else had received. Just because he felt like being nice.
"I'll give you a hint. We weren't exactly the only one's to have mating rituals going on these past few days."
Well, maybe the nice way wasn't even good enough to keep someone's lunch down.
Inuyasha was the first to run into the woods as soon as the mental imagery kicked in, and he felt bad for the poor bastard who had actually seen it. After losing his entire lunch in one go, he slowly walked back over to the others.
Kagome was laughing at all of them.
"What's so funny?!" Inuyasha asked, slightly woozy from his latest experience today.
"You guys are all getting sick due to Kaede and Totosai having-"
Inuyasha covered her mouth with his hand before she uttered the fateful word that would send all but her into puking Ville.
Geez, it figures she'd be the only one with a strong stomach.
After ripping her husband's hand away from her mouth, Kagome glared at him. She had no idea what the big deal really was. Kaede and Totosai had been flirting back and fourth for months now. Had no one other that herself really noticed?
Then, looking at the three sick males, she already had her answer.
"Well, while all of you are still acting like children, I need to go and get my son. I'll be back in a little while," she said sternly to all of them. As she turned around to look at her mate, she found herself smiling at him.
"Get some rest, love. Don't forget. You made a promise to me before we left our little hide away," she added winking at him.
Even though he still felt sick, he smiled at her and waved. Heading into the hut, Inuyasha looked at Miroku and Sango, and found himself laughing now at the poor monk.
Miroku must have been the one to discover the unfortunate sight, because he was still in shock from what it looked like.
Sango was sitting by his side, pressing a wet cloth to his face over and over again. When she looked up at Inuyasha, she rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, he's the one that saw the whole thing," she said dully to him. "He's been like this for a little while now. I think everything he saw has burned itself permanently into his brain."
Well, if it had been him, Inuyasha knew he would most likely be the same way. Finding a seat in the tiny living room, he rubbed his eyes. Even in his mind, just the thought burned away in a painful way. But he couldn't do anything about it. And from what it sounded like, at least the two older people were happier now.
He just wondered if Kagome had known something was going on between the two after how she had acted.
Then again, he really wasn't up for asking.
"Where is Kagome anyways?" Sango asked him.
Looking at her, he smiled.
"She went to go and get Shippo from her time. I guess she missed him a lot. Where's everyone else?"
"Throwing up in the woods. But Ayame and Rin were doing that since they arrived. I guess the ritual for the both of them was a little harder than on Kagome, huh?"
Thinking about it now, Inuyasha had to nod. Sometimes the mating ritual was a lot harder on the female than the male sometimes. But with his brother being a full demon, and Rin being a full human, it must have really been painful.
But he couldn't understand why Ayame was sick. Then again, he had no idea how the wolven rituals went. He only knew about his own.
Even though Kagome had gone through the change a lot better, he was still worried about something.
Anytime they had made love for the past few days, he had turned into a full demon. And he knew that his body was trying to do something to her every single time. He just didn't know what yet.
Still feeling sick to his stomach about the news he had just heard, Inuyasha laid down. At least when his wife returned he should feel somewhat better.
So, taking a nap was a better option than listening to Miroku babble like a fool.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
As Kagome pulled herself from the well, she could easily feel the burning of her muscles. Every single one of them ached as she reached the top.
'Geez, I swear, Inuyasha seriously needs to learn to be gentle with me. I am still human for crying out loud!' she thought giggling to herself as she blushed remembering the past few days of her life.
She still couldn't believe it that she was married to the man of her dreams, and that she had had the most amazing and romantic three days of her life with him. Inuyasha really had surprised her time and time again with everything he had wanted to do. And even when it was not even sexually related, he still surprised her just the same.
"Mom!" Shippo yelled running out of the house smiling at her as he collided with her. "You're back!"
As she nearly fell over Kagome hugged her son. Shippo seemed happy enough to see her, and she had a funny feeling it would be best to forewarn him about the new events at home.
"Hey, so I take it you had a good couple of days in my time?" she asked looking at him.
But then, she noticed something on his left ear that almost made her scream.
"What. The hell. Is that?" she hissed pulling his pointed ear down closer to her face.
Yup, it was a piercing. And a BIG one at that.
"Oww, Mom ct it out! That hurts!"
"I bet it does. Now who the heck did this to you?"
"Uncle Souta's friend," he said quickly.
Figures, she was definitely dealing with another coward in her life. Oh well, at least she knew who he was talking about.
So, after standing up and pulling him by his other ear into the house. Kagome found her younger brother and nailed him with a look.
"What did Cory do to my son?"
Holding up his hands in surrender, Souta looked over at his adoptive nephew, whom was only a few years younger than him, and sighed.
"Be thankful he didn't do what I did. Mom's still not talking to me," he said pulling down one of his sleeves and showing her a large tattoo of a Dragon and Tiger fighting in bright orange flames on his bicep.
As Kagome's eyes widened in shock, she looked to Shippo ad glared at him.
"What the heck has gotten into the both of you? I leave you alone for three days and I find you," she said pointing to Shippo's chest. "And you," sheadded now pointing to her younger brother. "Are acting irresponsible and crazy."
"Sis, chill out. For one thing, I'm twenty one years old and I have the right to make my own choices in life. Two, Shippo wanted one of these, but Cory wouldn't do it, so he settled on the ear piercing. And three, don't you have a tattoo as well?"
Yeesh, talk about calling the kettle black.
As she turned to her son, who merely only shrunk away from her in fear, Kagome sighed and shook her head at both of them.
'This was suppose to be an easy day for me, not a total drama nightmare,' she thought now looking at her wedding ring.
Boy, was Inuyasha gonna be pissed.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
As Kagome tried to catch the rim of the well once again and failed miserably, Shippo pointed out that if she wanted to now, all she had to do was jump high.
"Mom, don't forget, you do have demonic abilities now. You don't need to struggle like a human would anymore," he pointed out bluntly to her.
"Oh yeah…," she said as she dropped back down into the well and prepared herself to jump high.
As she felt her legs tighten, Kagome released and flew to the top of the well. Shippo merely rolled his eyes at her, but she smiled at this.
She could get out of the well by herself more easily now.
And for her, that really was a plus.
"Are you seriously going to make a big deal out of this thing, Mom? It's just an industrial piercing," he said pointing to the long metal pole at the top of his ear. "And why is Pop's gonna be pissed at me for it? It's not like I did my eyebrow or my nose or anything like that. Even though that's what Cory wanted to give me."
"And I would have killed you in my time. Literally, if you had done that. You do realize that if you ever take that thing out it's going to leave a nasty scar?"
"Mom," he said dully as he pointed at his feet, tail, and fangs. "I'm a demon. As long as I don't get salt near it, I should be okay. Besides, scars are not an issue for me."
"Ugh… boys," she mumbled to herself as she began trudging her way down the path to Miroku and Sango's hut. "Come on, your father is most likely waiting for us."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Whoa! What's with the strong, rancid smell of puke everywhere?!" Shippo said as he pinched his nose and stopped right before the door.
Even though Kagome wanted to tell him, she felt it wasn't necessary. Knowing Sesshomaru, he would want to gross out her son with the 'Tale of Horror'.
So, she'd let him do it. Besides, she was still a little upset with him about getting a huge piercing in his ear without her consent.
"Go and ask your Uncle. I'm going to go and find Inuyasha," she said as she entered the house. Now noticing the scent for the first time and wanting to gag herself.
Only Miroku could make so many people throw up within a few hours. And by now everyone must have been feeling better. So, looking around the hut, Kagome smiled as she found her husband sleeping in a chair next to the window.
As she gently crawled into his lap, Kagome kissed his red mating mark on his neck, causing him to stir lightly and moan in his sleep. As he looked up at her with lazy eyes, he smiled as he pushed a strand of her hair away fro her face.
"Hey you.." he whispered showing his fangs.
"Hey…" she whispered back smiling at him. "Did you have a good nap, Baby?"
As he stretched and pulled her closer onto his lap, Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist and yawned.
"I guess so. But what took you so long?"
"I had to ream our son a new asshole. He decided to get a piercing over in my time without either of our permissions."
As his eyes shot completely open, Inuyasha growled.
"He did what?" he asked her sternly.
"You heard me. He got a piercing. An industrial I guess is what he calls it. It goes from here," she said pointing to the side of her ear. "To here," she said as she moved her finger to the other side of her ear.
As he growled again, Inuyasha shook his head and sighed.
"What are we gonna do with that boy?"
"Not let him go anywhere with my brother anymore. That's for sure," she said pressing her body into his.
As she felt his breath catch in his throat at her movement, Kagome smiled with her eyes and lips as she gently rubbed her body into his more seductively.
"Kagome… you keep doing that and you won't be walking straight for a month," he warned playfully as her fingers went to drag over the lines of his Kimono.
"Maybe I don't want to," she purred in his ear softly, causing him to shiver under her weight.
Well, if that hadn't been an invitation, Inuyasha wouldn't have known what was.
Scooping her up in his arms quickly, Inuyasha dashed from the hut. As his demonic markings started to show once more on his face, as he passed his brother, son, and Koga. Kagome merely giggled as she breathed against his neck as she saw the looks on their faces.
As they ran throughout the woods, Inuyasha's eyes began to glow once more, casting off a brilliant sunshine yellow as he looked down at her.
"We're not heading back there until I've had my way with you in every way possible. I hop you know that," he whispered sending chills down her spine.
"Do you really think I'm going to object to that?" she answered as he slowed down near the hot springs.
Before he could even answer her, Inuyasha's lips were pressed against hers. Pulling up her sundress as he felt the soft cotton of her underwear, he growled.
He truly was under a spell when it came to her, and as he pulled the thin, delicate panties off of her, Inuyasha's head spun at the smell of her arousal for him.
Even though all he wanted to do was be gentle with her, he couldn't help himself. Pressing her back up against the semi rough rock formation near the water, Inuyasha nipped at her skin on the tops of her breasts as she moaned and pulled his hair.
Scissoring her legs together, Kagome grabbed at the tie around his waist and yanked the thing free. Making his bottoms drop to the ground in a thud. As Inuyasha pressed his body into hers, she could already feel the hot pooling effect between her legs increase as his tip brushed her thighs. But as his claws gently pulled down the front of her stretchy top and bra, she wanted to scream.
Kissing her gently, knowing how much I drove her crazy when he did, Inuyasha suckled lightly on the sensitive skin of a taught peak and dropped another hand lower. Feeling her was enough to make him feel dizzy. She was soft and wet for him like she had been for the past three days. And the slow, erotic teasing was even about to make him break.
"Inuyasha…," she moaned softly, shaking against the rock and his hands.
Feeling his own reserve snap, Inuyasha pulled his hand away from her swollen wetness and lifted her leg. As he looked into her eyes, all he could see was lust and love in them. And the deep pools of brown and gold flecks were far more mesmerizing to him than anything else in the world.
"Yes?" he asked breathing roughly.
As she was silent for a few moments, Inuyasha didn't bother to wait for her response. With one thrust, he engulfed her, causing her to moan and scream in bliss. As he started his motion, he lifted her legs and grabbed her perfect butt to hold her in place. As her legs tightened around him, along with the rest of her body, Inuyasha growled in triumph as Kagome screamed his name over and over again. Nearly to the point of making his own ears hurt, but he loved the way she sounded none the less.
So, he went a little harder.
As she screamed and clutched to him for a sixth time, Kagome could already feel the rough scratches on her back becoming more and more raw. But as her seventh orgasm assaulted her head one, she screamed and dug her nails into his back, causing a chain reaction within him as well.
As he roared and slammed into her over and over again, Inuyasha's head simply spun. The light headed feeling of bliss overtook him and pulled him into another world.
Her world. The happy place where they had been for three days and now were back in it.
As the final shudder left his body, Inuyasha gently pressed his hand to her back and tumbled down. As he landed on the soft grass, Inuyasha could swear he saw stars. Gently playing with her hair as she breathed heavily on him, Inuyasha chuckled thinking about how wonderful today was actually turning out to be.
He was with his wife, and life mate. He was happy to be home with his friends. But most of all, he was happy to be alive to have these things.
"Inuyasha?" she said softly now looking at him.
"Hmm?"
"I love you…," she whispered smiling.
As he gently kissed her swollen lips, Inuyasha gently pulled her a little closer to him and sighed.
"I love you too, Kagome."
As they laid in each others arms for a few moments, Kagome smiled as she giggled evilly at him.
"What?" he asked, now realizing that she was grinding her hips against him once more. Causing his body to bend and contort to her every whim.
As she felt him grow hard once again inside of her, Kagome grabbed his wrists and pinned his legs down with hers. As her evil smile played on her lips, she gently moved around a little and felt her own victory as he arched up into her more and moaned once again.
Leaning down so she was only a few inches away from his, she giggled, and Inuyasha's eyes nearly rolled into the back of his head at her last verbal response to him. And he moaned in compliance to her statement.
"My turn now to drive you crazy now."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"So, where do you think they went off to in such a hurry?" Shippo asked wagging his eyebrows up and down at his uncle.
As Sesshomaru rolled his eyes at him, a slow smile spread across his lips at an idea.
A very, evil idea.
Thinking of the best way possible to word it, Sesshomaru looked to Koga and grinned. Then back at his nephew, and stated in the most 'polite' way possible his answer for him.
"They're most likely going to be doing what all of us, including Kaede and Totosai did for the past three days… you wouldn't understand."
As Shippo's face paled, Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at him.
"What? Just think of it this way, when were all finally old and grey and wrinkled, it'll be what you walk into when you see your parents going at it. Nothing wrong with that now is-"
Before he could even finish, Shippo ran away and started throwing up over the fence for the garden. Sesshomaru and Koga whaled with laughter as they watched him, and both demon men smiled as they toasted themselves with their cups of water.
Today really was turning out to be a normal, interesting day.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Wow, I can't believe I actually finished chapter 8. I know it's been a while, but I had MAJOR writers block on this one. Plus I have seen trying to finish off at least one of my stories so I can start working on another.
Well, didn't exactly happen, but now I know I'll start working on this one again now since I'm past that little obstacle.
Well, I hope I get some reviews on this baby! It took me FOREVER to finish and I hope everyone liked it.
Next chapter will be up A LOT sooner than this one. I PROMISE!!
Toodles,
Me
