OH- and readers under the age of 14….beware- this chapter may be too…educational for you!

WITH KAGOME:

Kagome grinned to herself and hummed as she continued to unpack her clothes. She hung most of them in the closet, which Inuyasha only had three hoodies in…and nothing else. And for the underwear and pajama stuff, she put those all in one drawer of her small dresser… which she set up next to the bed.

Then she leaned over and turned on her small portable radio, she grinned and turned it to her favorite station…which basically played a little of everything.

She laughed as it started playing "Dude looks like a Lady" and started to dance to it… her dancing basically consisted of her jumping around, squealing, doing little turns in the air, and her shaking her butt.

After the song ended, she was out of breath but in the best of spirits. So she took of his dirty, old, navy blue sheets off the bed and put on her own pure white ones. She smiled, already seeing evidence of a girl in the apartment everywhere- and she liked it.

She started picking up all the dirty clothes that Inuyasha had laying around, and a few of her own, and then the sheets, then she bagged them all up and dug in her purse for quarters. After doing this for about five minutes, she gave up and grabbed several dollars that she could ask someone to break.

Then, on an after thought, she grabbed one of the many switch blades she had found while cleaning, and shoved it in her pocket. Then she growled as another thought struck her, maybe she should put on some ugly clothes and attract less attention…

So she changed into some of Inuyasha's baggy-as-hell holey jeans and one of his dirty hoodies. She grinned at her thuggish reflection in her small pocket mirror and then pulled her hair up into a ratty ponytail with little stick outs everywhere.

She laughed at her retarded-looking self but knew that she probably wouldn't catch too much attention. Then, FINALY, she walked out the door with her trash bag full of laundry and shut the door. She frowned over whether or not to lock it, and then finally decided that she would be back shortly to check on it anyway- and left.

She walked around the building for about ten minutes until she found the door that said "Superintendent" then she nervously knocked.

A scruffy woman opened the door.

Kagome as a bit surprised, "Are you the superintendent?"

The woman growled, "Well I answered the door didn't I?"

Kagome smiled, "I didn't mean to sound rude, and I was just surprised that a woman was running an apartment in this neighborhood. You must be very strong; I know I couldn't do it."

The woman stared at Kagome with new interest, "Yah well, life is hard but we all do what we can."

Kagome smiled, she was beginning to like the woman, "Strong and smart? You must be married."

The woman broke into a smile, "No man could handle me!"

Kagome nodded, "You're probably right…but anyway, I just came to ask you where the nearest laundry mat is."

The woman closed her eyes in thought, "Well the closest one is pretty run-down, but its right next door, maybe I can go with you. Nobody messes with me."

Kagome smiled, she wasn't sure what to make of the odd woman, "Thank you, that would be cool, oh- and can you trade me some quarters for a couple dollars?"

The woman shook her head, "Sorry, I'm fresh out, but they do have those machines at the laundry mat."

Kagome nodded, "Okay, so can you leave now or should I wait?"

The woman frowned, "I'm going with YOU, it would be rude to make you wait."

Kagome nodded, figuring that she was right and then she watched as the woman shut and locked her door, and then shoved her large key ring into her pocket.

They talked about everything as they walked down the stairs, trading names and stories, until they finally got to the laundry mat.

Kagome got her change and started putting all the clothes into the washers until she three different ones running.

The woman, whom Kagome had learned was Isaki, laughed, "How come we've never met before? I mean, your living in one of my apartment's right?"

Kagome chewed her lip, "Well, is it against the rules for one of your tenants to allow someone to move in with them without asking you first?"

The woman smiled, "Actually, yah, it makes the rent go up."

Kagome squeaked, "PLEASE don't make our rent go up! My…boyfriend, only has one job, and I'll get one too! But don't kick us out!"

The woman smiled, "I like you, you are the only person that has said a kind word to me in four years. I won't raise your rent, but who are you living with?"

Kagome blushed, "Inuyasha Takashi…"

The Isaki smiled, "Well he is a fox, but he's an ass too. How do you deal with him?"

Kagome giggled, "You just have to know how to…train them."

Isaki cackled, "BRAVO!" she laughed again, "I hope you guys have…fun…together."

Kagome blushed again, "I have no idea what you mean!"

Isaki nodded, "Sure you don't, and I'm a young, beautiful princess!"

Kagome sighed, "We are getting married…"

Isaki smiled, "Good, I'm glad to see you have a level enough head to balance Inuyasha's irrationalness. You two will do fine together. You have a key to the apartment?"

Kagome shook her head, "Thank you, and no, not yet."

The woman frowned, "Well did Inuyasha leave his with you?"

Kagome grinned sheepishly, "Uh…well…you know Inuyasha…"

Isaki frowned, "Is your apartment unlocked right now then?"

Kagome nodded.

The woman snorted, "That was foolish, you should know it's not safe to leave anything unlocked in this neighborhood."

Kagome blushed, "Well I assumed I would be back before anything happened!"

Isaki stood up, "Ill be right back. If anyone gives you any trouble, pull out your knife."

Kagome frowned, "How'd you know I have a knife in my pocket?"

"You'd be foolish not to. Now stay here, I'll be back." Isaki walked out in her odd manner.

WITH KIYKOU:

As her mother and her arrived at Inuyasha's apartment Kikyou felt the butterflies ramming around inside her stomach, "This is it mom."

Her mother nodded with a determined set in her jaw, "Okay." Then she parked the car and they both got out.

Kikyou led her mother up to the apartment door with a malicious smile on her face, then careful to remove it before her mother saw it, she stopped at his door.

"Here it is mom" she whimpered.

Her mother nodded and started banging on the door, "KAGOME! Are you in there Kagome? You need to come out! It's your mother Kagome! You know the one you shame by continuing to fuck this…this…trash!"

Kikyou bit her lip to keep from clapping, but there was no answer from in the apartment.

"KAGOME HIGURASHI!" her mother screamed at the door, and moved a hand up to try the lock.

The door opened a crack and Kikyou smiled at her mothers back, "Go in mom, and drag her out!"

Her mother turned, "Don be rude, she needs to come home- I'm sure she will see reason."

The she turned and started the open the door wider.

"STOP!"

Both Kikyou and her mother turned in surprise at the voice and found an older, heavy set woman, glaring at them.

"Did you know that breaking and entering is illegal?" she growled at them and then pushed herself between them and the door.

Kikyou growled, she already hated this woman, "Did you know it's rude to stick your nose in other peoples business?"

The woman turned on her, "Did YOU know that I am the superintendent of this building and I could break you like a fucking twig?"

Kagome's mother held up her hands, "Excuse me miss, my daughter didn't mean anything, she was just worried about her sister, Kagome. Who has run away from her HOME and moved into this…this…apartment with some boy she barely knows!"

The woman turned and locked the door with one of her many keys, "How old is your daughter?"

Kagome's mother frowned, "Eighteen, but she is still just a child and can't make the wisest of decisions."

The older woman turned on them, "Eighteen, that makes her a legal adult, old enough to make her own decisions, whether you think them wrong or not…"

Kikyou frowned; she wanted to strangle the woman and her mother, whom was such a doormat she was letting the superintendent get the better of her.

Her mother frowned, "Surely you can understand my point of view as a mother, Kagome ran away, with a boy, I'm just worried that she will get pregnant or end up dead! People will think I didn't raise her right, or that I TAUGHT her to behave like a heathen!"

The wide woman shrugged, "Well clearly you were doing something wrong, because the girl made the CHOICE to run away."

The mother gasped, "THE BOY MADE HER DO IT! JUST SO HE COULD HAVE A WAITING SEX TOY THAT HE COULD USE AND THEN THROW AWAY!"

Isaki narrowed her eyes, "The world is cruel, I admit, but I think you may be confusing some of your troubles with your daughters."

Kagome's mother paled, "I will be back to talk to my daughter later."

Then she grabbed her other daughters hand and dragged her down the stairs.

Isaki heaved a sigh, made sure the door was locked and walked slowly back to the laundry mat where Kagome was waiting.

WITH KAGOME:

"Are you alright? You took so long, I got worried!" Kagome asked as she sat back down from her pacing.

Isaki smiled, "I met your mother, and your sister…both very…pleasant people… Why didn't you tell me that you ran away from home?"

Kagome's eyes widened, "Oh my god! I'm sorry, I just…didn't want you to force me to go back home! I really love Inuyasha and my mother can't see that!"

Isaki nodded, "So I assumed, but no more secrets. You know they were banging on the apartment door like banshees? And then your mother decided that since the door was unlocked she would just LET HERSELF IN! Luckily I got there and scared them off before they went in."

Kagome sighed, "Oh thank you…really…" she lifted her knees to her chest on her bench and wrapped her arms around them. Then she buried her head, feeling like the world was falling down around her.

Isaki patted the girl softly on the back, "Its okay, but she said she would be back. So you just need to be there when she does and tell her what's what."

Kagome nodded, "I know I need to, but I don't think I can, she will bring my father into it and I'll end up feeling guilty and she will drag me back home!"

Isaki petted her head, she had already grown found of the girl, "If you and Inuyasha really loved each other, then you can make it. You just have to be strong for each other and work through all your problems; because, trust me, there will be a lot will you two both so young and inexperienced."

Kagome nodded, "I wish my dad were here, he would be upset at first, but then he would understand…"

Isaki got up and put the clothes in the dryer as the washer timer dinged and the machines started to shut down, "Kagome, you can't fall apart every time something like this happens or you will never make it. Be strong, and then tell Inuyasha how you feel when he gets home."

Kagome nodded again, "I wish you were my mom. You would understand."

Isaki smiled, "I wouldn't if you kept me in the dark like you are doing your mom."

Kagome pouted, "Whose side are you on?"

Isaki laughed, "Yours! But you still need to face your mother, or you and Inuyasha will gradually fall apart from the stress."

Kagome took a deep breath and pulled back all the tears she had been ready to let fly, "You're right…again."

WITH INUYASHA:

Inuyasha was sluggish as he made everyone their drinks and took their money. He had already spilt two drinks and broken a glass, but he didn't mind, all is thoughts were focused on Kagome, and what she was doing right then, and if she was okay, and if she would be there when he got back.

"INUYASHA! Pull yourself together!" his boss growled, "One more screw up tonight and I'll fire you on the spot!"

Inuyasha nodded and tried to focus on what he was doing, but as Kikyou walked into the bar he found himself glaring with intense hatred at her as she smiled and started in his direction.

"Hey baby!" she smiled at him as she took a seat at the bar.

Inuyasha ignored her completely and turned to serve drinks to the people farthest form her.

Kikyou growled, "WAITER! Serve me a drink or I'll talk to your boss!"

Inuyasha served a few more drinks, and just as she was getting up to leave, he walked over to her, "What can I get you? Other then a plastic surgery of course, we don't do that here."

Kikyou glared, "Watch your tongue asshole! Or I might have to talk to your boss about you being rude to your customers."

Inuyasha sighed, he was beginning to hate his job, "Well, order something or I'm moving on."

Kikyou smiled, "How about a strawberry margarita?"

Inuyasha nodded, "Five fifty."

Kikyou handed him the money and smiled.

He pocketed it and went about making her drink.

Kikyou licked her lips as he handed her the drink.

"Went by your apartment today" she said casually.

Inuyasha's world started to spin, "What did you do, you bitch?"

Kikyou shrugged innocently, "Nothing, me and mom just went to have a chat with Kagome…"

Inuyasha threw off his apron and jogged into the crowd looking for his boss as Kikyou cackled behind him.

When he finally found the guy, he walked up to him, "Boss, I need to leave early, there's been some sort of emergency at home and I need to be there-"

He was cut off as his boss raised a hand, "This is the busiest time of the night, you can't leave."

Inuyasha's blood was pounding in his ears and he could feel his demonic blood fighting for control, "You don't understand, ITS AN EMERGENCY!"

His boss shook his head, "If you leave, you're fired, and that's all I got to say."

Inuyasha frowned at his boss, caught at an impasse, and heard Kikyou come up behind him.

She smiled evilly, "Don't worry baby, Kagome is in a safe place."

Inuyasha growled and took the tall glass that the guy next to him was holding, "Kikyou, give up, I hate you…it would never work out between us." And with that he emptied the contents of the full glass onto Kikyou and her small top.

His boss yelled, "Inuyasha get the fuck out of my club you're fired!"

Inuyasha flipped his ex-boss off as he stomped out the door, "I was just leaving any fucking way!"

Once outside the club he sent off at a dead run for his apartment. He, who had never believed in god, found himself praying out loud that Kagome would be sitting calmly in his apartment when he got there.

At the apartment building he ran full tilt up the stairs and to his door. He tried to pull it open, locked, that was a good sign right?

He pulled out his keys and shoved one in the door, the key didn't work and he found himself cursing and shaking as he found the right key and shoved it in the lock. A swift turn and a hard shove and he had the door open.

"Kagome?" he yelled as soon as he made it in the room, but no one answered.

He looked around at all the small changes she had made and then rushed to the bathroom door, "Kagome?" again no answer.

Inuyasha growled and slammed his fist into the wall; his vision was clouding red. He snarled and tried to think calmly about how to get Kagome back, but all he could think of was all the blood that would flow from the person that had taken her.

"Inuyasha?" whispered the voice of an angel from behind him.

Inuyasha turned and saw Kagome, somehow still beautiful in the ugliest of clothes. She had a frightened look, but she was coming toward him- putting down a trash bag of clothes.

"Inuyasha are you oka-" Kagome was cut off as Inuyasha wrapped his arms fiercely around her and pressed his lips against hers. Kagome kissed him back, just as hard, having missed him just as much.

Inuyasha knew he was probably hugging her to tight but he couldn't stop, all he could think about was losing her.

"I'll talk to you later Kagome!" said a feminine voice from behind him.

Inuyasha jerked away from Kagome and put himself between the stranger and his mate. He let out a fierce snarl and bared his fangs at the intruder.

Kagome wrapped her arms around his waist, "Thanks Isaki! Can you shut the door on your way out?"

Inuyasha took a step toward the unafraid woman, "Bye, bye, then!" She laughed as she stepped back and shut the door.

Kagome moved around in front of Inuyasha, who was still snarling and growling at the shut door, "Inuyasha, look at me!" She smiled at the red orbs that had replaced his beautiful golden ones.

"I love you Inuyasha, and I'm okay, and you're okay…so there's no reason to be like this…" she whispered as she kissed him softly on the neck.

Her only answer was him wrapping his arms tightly around her again and then him burying his face in her mass of silky dark hair.

Kagome smiled, "Do you still love me?" Her unreasonable demon nodded softly while kissing her on the top of the head.

"Say it then, tell me you love me" she smiled.

Inuyasha's voice came out in a half growl, "I love you Kagome."

Kagome stood on tippy-toes and still only came up to his chin, "Then kiss me Inuyasha."

Inuyasha let out a possessive groan and pressed his lips roughly against Kagome's with all the passion and love that he contained in his heart. Kagome yielded under him, somehow knowing that he needed her to, and allowed him to do what ever he wanted with her pliant body.

Inuyasha's body was at full attention as he felt Kagome moan into their heated kiss. He pressed his lips harder, and nipped at hers with his knife like canines. Kagome lifted a leg and wrapped it around his waist, pushing their hips closer together.

Inuyasha ground his hard-on against Kagome's baggy jeans and decided that they were both wearing too much clothing. He picked her up and carried her over to the futon, never breaking the kiss.

WITH KAGOME:

Kagome wiggled her body against Inuyasha's in pleasure. She felt his need rubbing against her and felt her own answer back.

She pulled her lips away and felt his move down to her neck, "Inuyasha," she half moaned half mumbled, "I give up."

Inuyasha froze and looked up at her.

Kagome smiled at him and knew she was making the right decision, "Make me your mate Inuyasha, utterly and completely."

Inuyasha let out a growl and started his fierce kisses again. He trailed them down her neck then to her hoodie, where he stopped to tug it over her head. Kagome raised herself to help him and then watched as he threw hers to the floor and then did the same with his.

Kagome smiled as he impatiently tried to unbutton her jeans and in the end ended up just sliding them down off her legs, being as they were super baggy. Then he tugged off his own jeans and started to kiss down her body.

Kagome closed her eyes in ecstasy as he spread hot opened mouthed kisses down her neck, between her breasts, and then down to her stomach. Then he lifted her back up off the futon and slid his other hand around her and undid her bra.

"Are you sure?" he asked her in a growl of a voice as he pulled her bra away from her beautiful porcelain breasts.

Kagome smiled, his only answer was her reaching back and tugging down her raggedy ponytail. Inuyasha smiled a toothy smile back and kissed her gently on the nose.

Then he gently tugged her panties off, being careful, as he she would break if he touched her wrong. Then he stood and pulled off his boxers.

Kagome blushed, knowing that this was IT as he slowly lowered himself down between her legs she smiled and wrapped her arms around his strong back.

Inuyasha smiled and kissed her, then he slowly slid a hand down her flat abdomen to the soft folds between her thighs. Kagome was so sensitive she bucked softly against him, blushing as she did it. Inuyasha only smiled softly at her while slipping a finger inside her and watching her eyes widen and her mouth open slightly.

"Oh, Inuyasha," she moaned softly as he gently rotated his finger, stretching her and preparing her for something better.

Then, to her surprise, he slid another finger in, joining the other and then making a scissoring motion. Kagome arched against him, enjoying the new feelings he was creating and already wanting more.

WITH INUYAHSA:

Inuyasha kissed the edge of her mouth softly as Kagome moaned softly against him. He started trailing hot kisses down her jaw line and then onto her neck, where he nipped softly and then suckled, creating a unique love bite that made him want to purr with possessiveness.

He stared, amazed at how beautiful Kagome looked as she closed her eyes and her brows furrowed in pleasure. He could feel her now, pulling her hips back and the pushing them against his fingers, creating a rhythm that had been made by others throughout all of time.

Now he felt her getting close, all the muscles in her soft body were tensing and she was moving her hips faster against him as he tickled with his fingers.

Just as she reached the edge, he pulled his hand away, causing her to throw open her eyes and glare at him.

"Why'd you stop?" she growled in an almost demonic voice.

Inuyasha kissed her gently on the lips and whispered against them, "I will do it again later, I promise, but right now, you have me so close to coming just watching you that I fear we may never get to the real thing."

To his delight, his mate blushed under him, and then he realigned himself between her legs, holding himself up with his strong arms placed on either side of Kagome's shoulders.

His first thrust was soft, meant to be gentle to reduce the amount of pain he would cause, he watched he face as he fought the urge to drive himself wildly into her and have them both screaming in pleasure. She closed her eyes as he stretched her most sensitive area, and then whimpered at the shot of pain that raced through her body.

Inuyasha held himself still inside her, aching to do more but waiting for her to be okay. Right now his own needs seemed to fade into the background as he watched his adored mate squirm softly in pain. His heart clenched in his chest as he knew that he could do nothing, so he leaned down and gently kissed her on her furrowed brow.

Kagome opened her eyes, allowing him to see that all the blue in them had been swallowed up by her black pupils, she smiled softly at him and then tilted her chin up to kiss him.

As their lips touched Inuyasha used his tongue like he wanted to use his hips. He thrust it into her mouth, swirling it around and prodding her tender areas. Before he knew what was going on, Kagome had started to rotate her hips in a soft circle with him inside her, causing ripples of pleasure to run through both of them.

Kagome's radio, which had been left on and forgotten until now, started to quietly play "If your not the one," by Daniel Beddingfield.

Inuyasha slowly pulled his hips back and then pushed them slowly forward again, slowly starting up an easy rhythm, penetrating Kagome over and over again, causing both of them to begin panting.

"If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?"

Inuyasha slid both of his hands up to Kagome's as she clenched at the sheets around her. He supported his weight on his forearms and laced his large fingers with her smaller softer ones above her head on the pillow.

Then as she opened her mouth to moan again he pressed his lips against hers, nearly making them split as he kissed her with years of pent-up energy.

"I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with…"

"I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?"

Gradually, their rhythm grew faster, increasing the pressure of each thrust and the intensity with which it was met. Kagome moaned his name into his mouth, and Inuyasha nearly passed out. Everything was so perfect, better then he would have ever imagined…

"If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?"

"I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?"

Before the couple knew it, the song was over and another started to play. But neither of them was aware of anything other then the sounds the other created and the enthralling sensations gripping them.

WITH KAGOME:

After the initial pain had stopped, Kagome had felt nothing but pleasure. She reveled in every sensation that she was feeling and reveled in the sweet erotic noises that Inuyasha made in her ears and in her mouth.

His strong hands, fingers still laced with hers, prevented her from reaching up to him or from being able to do anything but FEEL. She knew he had done it on purpose, and liked to make her squirm whenever possible…

So she squirmed now, whimpering and raising her hips up to meet his thrusts as they sped toward the brink of insanity together. Kagome clenched her hands to his, creating little crescent moon furrows where her nails were.

She caught his lips now, taking the kiss into her own hands as he took the rest into his. She nibbled his bottom lip, hard enough to draw blood yet soft enough to have him moaning louder into her mouth.

Her body tensed as their speed reached break-neck, and she felt his do the same. His every muscle seemed to tense and knot into a sexy strain.

"Inuyasha!" she yelled out in pleasure, before she could think twice; and then before she could do anything else, the world shook.

She clasped herself against him as they both reached the edge of the proverbial cliff and threw themselves off it together.

Kagome now sat in euphoria, still hot and oh-so-sensitive, but so relaxed and dreamlike that she had a hard time keeping her eyes open.

She looked at Inuyasha who was smiling at her with the look of an angel on his face. She smiled back at him and felt him pull out and lay down next to her, his body in the same stress-free zone as hers.

He leaned over and kissed each of her eyelids in turn, "Go ahead and sleep, you look like your about to pass out."

Kagome frowned, "No, I want to do that again…" but she was amazed to hear her own voice trail off into silence as sweet dreams of euphoria filled her mind.

WITH INUYASHA:

He couldn't help but grin as he watched his beautiful mate slowly sink into a fitful sleep. He remembered back to the other time he had watched her sleep, and decided that she looked more like a content little angel now then she ever had.

He brushed her silky cheek with the back of his knuckles and smiled as she nuzzled into his touch even in her sleep. He felt so full of love and joy that he briefly thought he might actually burst from it.

He had NEVER in his life felt as happy or content as he was now. He felt a brief sense of regret that this had been sitting in front of him for three terrible years, but he also knew that he had been correct when he had told Kagome that he wouldn't have been able to appreciate it to the fullest extent then- and probably would have fucked it all up.

He felt the urge to mark her, to bite her, to have her bite him, and be joined completely. His demonic blood pounded in his ears, eager to have its mate's blood as he had been to have her flesh. But he knew that she had nowhere near the amount of energy she needed to do the small ceremony. After all, if she had been on her feet at the time, she probably would have just passed out and fell over.

His blood heated as he pictured himself pinning Kagome against the wall and holding her up with nothing but his hips.

He amazed even himself as he felt himself growing hard again already. He had the decency to ignore it and continue to watch Kagome sleep peacefully.

Then he heard a knock on the door.

For a moment he contemplated not answering it, but the person at the door knocked again.

Inuyasha growled and stood up, then after searching for a moment; he found his boxers on the other side of the room and pulled them on. Then he walked to the door and opened it.

He was surprised to see his landlady; he bowed a head in her direction, "Isaki."

The old woman smiled, "I see you've calmed down enough to act civilized…"

Inuyasha frowned in confusion and then remembered the whole growling incident, "Oh, ah…uh… sorry about that."

Isaki smiled, "Wow Kagome really has trained you well, you have never, in the five years that you lived here, apologized to me. Even though you did plenty to warrant it."

Inuyasha snorted, "I haven't been trained!"

Isaki shrugged, "Whatever, look, here's the spare key to your apartment that I promised Kagome." She smiled and handed him the small gold key.

Inuyasha's eyes widened, "Uh…Kagome's not living here…she doesn't need a key…"

Isaki smacked his hand, "Shame on you for lying, if I didn't like Kagome so much I would make your rent go up just for lying!"

Inuyasha had the decency to blush, "Sorry, so how much is it going to go up, with her moving in?"

Isaki's eyes twinkled, "Your woman has already taken care of that."

Inuyasha frowned, "What do you mean?"

Isaki cackled like the old woman she was and walked off down the hall.

Inuyasha wanted to chase her down and ask what she had meant but his dignity wouldn't allow it. So instead he growled and stepped back into his apartment. Only now did he take in the extent of all that changes Kagome had made. Everything seemed nicer, cleaner, and more like a home then just a place to stay.

He remembered her dropping a trash bag when she had came in and now checked it out. Finding clean clothes, he cursed himself for freaking out over nothing. Kikyou had been lying the entire time! Gingerly he refolded the clothes that needed it and then put them in the appropriate drawers or hung them in the closet. He grinned when he was done at how orderly everything was; Kagome really was an angel.

His gaze caught on the day's newspaper, Kagome must have picked it up when she went out to do laundry… Fearfully, he picked it up and flicked to the classified ads. To his surprise, some had already been circled and others crossed out. His mind rebelled at the thought of Kagome getting a job, and he filed it away in his memory to tell her just what he thought of it. Then he sat down with his own pen, and circled the articles that he found appropriate for himself, a.k.a, things he would actually do and not be embarrassed of.

His mind was in complete turmoil over all the days' events and he couldn't steady it. It went form thoughts of his being fired, to him having sex with Kagome, and then to her and the baby starving as he took up selling drugs because he couldn't find any other jobs, and then, finally, to Kagome selling her body to keep herself and the baby alive as he fought an addiction he knew he couldn't logically have.

But that didn't stop him from freaking out and standing up to pace the floor the tiny apartment. At one point he was so distracted he tripped over the wad of clothing he had thrown off Kagome and fell flat on his face in the floor.

Kagome rolled to the edge of the bed and looked at him as he sheepishly got up. She gave him a smile that had his body covered in goose bumps, and then she patted the bed next to her.

Inuyasha walked over to her, and without a word, slid under the sheets on the bed and snuggled closer to her.

Kagome kissed him softly on his collar bone, and then snuggled against his chest; pressing her naked body against his boxer-clad one.

Inuyasha rested his chin on her head and wrapped his arms around her; he would worry about life tomorrow, for now, he just wanted to sleep and enjoy his mate's presence.

WITH KAGOME:

She was the first to wake up, and the first thing she saw was Inuyasha's beautiful chest, and then his gleaming silver nipple rings. She looked up into Inuyasha's face and smiled to see the vulnerable look he was wearing; she carefully made sure his eyes were shut, and then she softly pressed her lips to the cold silver ring.

She flicked her tongue over it and tried not to giggle as Inuyasha groaned softly and shivered. She sucked softly and pulled the tender skin of his nipple and the ring into her mouth. Almost instantly strong arms wrapped around her and she found herself looking up into Inuyasha's golden eyes.

She blushed and pulled her mouth away, "Uh, sorry for waking you…"

He smiled at her and kissed her on the forehead, "You are welcome to wake me up anytime if you do it like that."

Kagome laughed kissed his chin, "When are you going to mark me?"

Inuyasha looked at her, "When do you want me to?"

She grinned sheepishly, "Now…"

Inuyasha smiled, "Okay." Then he leaned over the side of the bed and pulled out the switchblade he had left under the side of the mattress.

Kagome instantly got nervous, "I thought you were going to bite me."

Inuyasha nodded, "Oh I am, but this is for you- I didn't think you would like to bite me until you drew blood- plus you might find it hard to break the skin without ripping it completely."

Kagome paled, "I have to BITE you?"

Inuyasha frowned, "You don't have to bite me, but you do have to drink a little of my blood. Hence the knife."

Kagome chewed her lip, "I don't want you to cut yourself."

"Oh I won't have too." He smiled.

Kagome sat up, "Wait, what?"

Inuyasha sat up with her now, "YOU have to draw the blood."

Kagome looked away, "I refuse to cut you with a knife."

Inuyasha laughed, "Kagome you are being silly! I t doesn't have to be a big cut, and I will heal up right after anyway."

Kagome frowned, "I don't want to."

Inuyasha took her hand, wrapped it around the knife, and then wrapped his own around hers. Then, before she could move or resist, he lifted the blade and her hand and drug is sharp blade across the side of his neck.

Kagome squeak and jerked her hand away, simultaneously throwing the blade across the room. "Inuyasha!" she cried out softly, feeling tears streaming down her face as blood streamed down his from the two inch long cut on his neck.

Inuyasha took her hands in his own, "Kagome, I'm fine, just lick off the blood."

Kagome felt her sensitive heart ramming against her chest, for some reason it hurt worse then it would have if he had cut her. Then she slowly tilted her neck and pressed her soft lips to his bleeding neck.

His blood was hot, and as soon as she opened her mouth to lick, it gushed forward, coating her tongue and her pearly teeth. She felt the urge to be repulsed, but didn't feel repulsed, for some reason his blood tasted good.

She rolled the hot liquid over her tongue and then pressed her lips against the cut and sucked softly. As she sucked greedily at the wound, she heard Inuyasha groan and then tilt his head to the other side, placing his lips to the sensitive spot below her ear.

Kagome felt a flash of fear and then his canines sunk into her soft skin; she cried out softly-pulling her lips away from his neck in the process.

The pain was sharp, and Kagome wondered if his cut had hurt as much, but soon the pain faded, and like last night, it was replaced by pleasure. She felt Inuyasha suck gently, pulling her energy into him, then she placed her lips back on his neck and drew his energy into her.

A shot of pain flash through her skull and Kagome pulled away and looked at Inuyasha as the world started to spin, "Wha…whats…happ…happening…?" she asked in a dazed voice.

Inuyasha's lips didn't move but she clearly heard him say that his demonic blood was mixing with her own. Kagome felt lightheaded, and subconsciously felt Inuyasha turn her and lay her back down on the bed.

Kagome looked at the bed and noted with dismay that there was a dab of blood on her white sheets; she would have to fix that lat-…. Her mind lost its ability to focus as it seemed like hot liquid metal was floating around in her skull and burning the rest of her.

Inuyasha laced his fingers with hers and kissed her on the forehead, and then the nose, and then gently on the lips, "Don't worry Kagome, this will pass I swear…I had no idea it would be this bad or I would have warned you…"

Kagome was touched by the look of genuine worry that was creasing his face, "Don't…wor…" her words were lost as another burst of pain jolted her. Kagome squeezed her eyes shut and tried to sink into the pillow but to no avail.

After what seemed like an eternity, Kagome felt the pain recede, leaving her weak and tired.

Inuyasha started saying something in another language that Kagome couldn't understand. She watched him as he touched his forehead, and then her own. She blinked up at him and smiled weakly, then he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.

Kagome kissed back weakly, and then felt him say something in that odd language into her mouth; she smiled, liking it, and then felt the urge to repeat it back to him. Quietly she whispered the words he had whispered into her mouth back into his.

Inuyasha grinned back at her and pulled away, but Kagome felt herself being pulled closer to him then she had when they had kissed. She opened her eyes and touched her lips, then she looked at him- not sure he had even stopped.

He grinned, "We are done now, we can feel each others emotions and hear some of the particularly strong thoughts, and we won't be able to stay apart for long in the beginning."

Kagome nodded weakly and felt her heart overflow with love, then to her surprise he grinned bigger and she felt his love pouring over her. Her eyelids started to close on their own accord, but she didn't care, she knew Inuyasha would be hear when she got up…

WITH INUYASHA:

He watched as Kagome fell asleep again. He felt terrible for not knowing and warning her that the pain would be that bad. But as his parents had died when he was young and his brother had never thought him a damn thing, he had acted completely on instinct and hoped all went well.

He chewed his bottom lip and tasted Kagome's blood on it. Overall, the ceremony had went well, but that didn't clear his conscious or make him stop worrying.

Kagome opened her eyes slowly and sent him a dirty look, "Stop worrying about me, I cant sleep for all the noise your are making in my head!"

Inuyasha sighed, "I'm sorry…"

Kagome patted next to her on the bed and Inuyasha once again, obeyed and flopped down on the bed. Then Kagome scooted herself up against him and kissed him gently on the neck, "I love you, and the pain wasn't that bad. I will be fine."

A calming wave of Kagome's assurance swept over him. Inuyasha allowed himself to relax a little and brushed his knuckles over her smooth cheek, "Stop reading my mind…"

Kagome smiled, her eyes still shut, "Stop talking…" then, to punctuate her comment, she pressed her finger to his lips and then snuggled back into a comfortable position. "We can talk more later…after we have sex again…"

Inuyasha coughed and looked at his innocent Kagome…HIS…
