Blood Rain: Bit more vulgarity in this chapter. But you knew that, didn't you?
Inuyasha knocked frantically on the door of Kagome's apartment, feeling extremely restless. Today was too urgent to ignore. A while after the day he and Gingitsune renewed their friendship, Kirara came to his house and had a long talk with him—about Houjou. Once she was done revealing what she knew, Inuyasha wanted to go and kill Houjou immediately, but Kirara advised him against it. She told him to wait a few more days to take action, and when he did so, to tell Kagome everything.
Hence the reason he was standing outside the Higurashi apartment door, waiting impatiently for someone to answer.
"Come on...fuck!" He growled, tapping his foot. Now he was certain of Kirara's psychic abilities, and he was extremely glad he had stopped Gingitsune from revealing this in front of Houjou. He only wished it were she coming with him on this mission instead of the girl who should be his worst enemy, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Before Inuyasha could swear some more, Kagome's father came to the door with a frown. "Is there a problem, Inuyasha?" He asked, quirking his eyebrow. Deferentially, Inuyasha bowed, murmuring, "Good day, Higurashi-sama...um, is Kagome home?"
"Oh, sorry, Inuyasha. She's in Sapporo with Nanako. That time of the month...you know." Inuyasha paled.
"Damn!" He mumbled under his breath, knowing he wouldn't have enough time to get to her house and tell her what he had to say and bust Houjou for the fraud that he was.
"I could give you a ride if you want, though, if you really want to go over there. I know you're, you know...like them, so it shouldn't bother you too much, right?"
"That's true..." Inuyasha mused, considering it for a second, then nodding eagerly. "Okay! Thanks, Higurashi-sama!"
"No problem. Just let me go get a few things first." Inuyasha went into the apartment and Takefumi went into a back room. He was in a rush, but he'd never honestly been in Kagome's home before, so he let his curiosity overtake his impatience for a few moment. The house was quite decorated—guns adorned the walls, as well as a large red rug above the white marble fireplace. It looked like a small inscription in the far corner of the rug, and Inuyasha went right up to it to read it.
"The rivers run red with the blood of my enemies." He murmured, awe and reverence coating his tone. This gave him a whole new respect for Kagome's yakuza father, and he now fully believed Kagome's words when she was transformed.
I do love my father, and if he had even a drop of vampire blood in him, he would be pretty high in the power structure, but it's very unfortunate he was born a human.
It is unfortunate, Inuyasha agreed inwardly. I would've loved for him to help me against Houjou.
"Nice, isn't it?" Inuyasha was somewhat startled by Takefumi's sudden reappearance. "Yeah, Nanako made it for me a while back."
"It's beautiful. I was wondering about the whole blood thing..."
"Yeah...not really my taste, but still pretty moving. Ready to go?" Inuyasha nodded and followed him out of the apartment.
In Takefumi's Ferrari Fiorano, the gangster said, "So...what's the urgency?"
"It's, uh...I guess you could say it's a kyuuketsuki thing, sir." Inuyasha cleared his throat, hoping he wasn't coming off as disrespectful.
"Yeah? What's Kagome got to do with it?" Inuyasha was relieved that Takefumi didn't take the tone of parental defensiveness, and instead had one of mere curiosity.
"It's really complicated..."
"I've got time. And the car's not bugged, as far as I know." Inuyasha blinked.
"Well...there's this kid at our school. New kid. I'm really suspicious of him, but it seems like me, Kagome, and my other friend Kirara are the only ones who don't trust him. My best friend Gingitsune is actually dating him, and she doesn't want to hear any negative things about him, so I can't warn her anymore without risking our friendship. Now I've got verification that the bastard is evil, and I have to rally together anyone who might be on my side."
"Yeah? Who's the kid?"
"Some rectal wart named Houjou."
"Houjou...weird name. Now, whenever you fight this little prick, make sure my daughter doesn't get too badly hurt, or I'm comin' after you, got it?" Inuyasha stared at his mildly amused expression, the young vampire completely bemused.
"Wait...hold on. You trust me to protect your daughter?"
"Of course. If Nanako can trust you, I don't see why I can't." Takefumi shrugged. "I mean, I keep hearing about a teishu for Kagome, and she's so confident it's you, so I figure, why not boost it up?" Inuyasha's face went pale cherry in embarrassment.
Damn you, Nanako! What is with you trying to set me up with your daughter?! Inuyasha scowled, turning his heated face away from Takefumi. God...this is so embarrassing. She's nowhere near being my nyoubou, yet both her parents want us together.
And why would that be so bad?
Inuyasha paused to think about this. He'd never really questioned his disfavor of Kagome; he just assumed it was natural. Was it because she was only half-blooded?
No, that can't be it. That's just stupid. No...it's probably because I know even deep down that Gingitsune will be jealous. Besides, I've already told her countless times that I don't want Kagome...I couldn't go back on that; not now, when we've gotten close again.
But would she be okay if I did? And God, what the hell am I gonna do when I get there?! She's transformed now...
A bead of sweat ran down his face as he tried not to think about how irresistible Kagome was in her full vampiric state.
I wonder if she expects me to fuck her again...should I? Could I, for that matter? He fidgeted uncomfortably, the pain searing in his groin proof of that very thought. Inuyasha found the situation even further complicated when he remembered: he was a man free to do as he pleased. No one would judge him if he were to get friendly with Kagome—her parents certainly wouldn't object, and they would've traditionally been the first obstructions in his path—and even if they did, who cared? Not he.
So it was settled. The best way to get over his annoying infatuation with Gingitsune was to like another woman, and who better than Kagome? He at least had a history with her. Hell, if the relationship lasted long enough, he might be able to showcase her as a superficial nyoubou. A smile on his face, he glanced over at Takefumi, then his blood ran cold.
Fuck! He groaned mentally. I forgot...if Sesshoumaru saw her, he'd kill her for being a half-breed, then me by reason of association! Fuck, fuck, fuck...what am I gonna do about this now?!
Thus, in a disgruntled slump, Inuyasha slouched in his seat and crossed his arms, scowling for the rest of the drive.
"Okay, kid—this is your stop." Takefumi announced, stopping a few blocks away from Nanako's complex.
"Huh? Why?" Inuyasha blinked.
"Don't like to get too close to that complex." He grunted, and Inuyasha thought for a moment, until he remembered what Kagome told him about the yakuza knowing everything. Takefumi was probably being watched, or worse—followed.
"Oh, okay. Thank you for the ride, Higurashi-sama."
"No problem. See you later." Inuyasha bowed slightly, getting out of the car and cringing as Takefumi immediately sped off.
"Someone doesn't want to get in trouble..." He mumbled, heading for the complex. When he got inside, a strange feeling of foreboding struck him. There was no one in the lobby, and it was unnaturally chilly, even for him. Absently, Inuyasha rubbed his arm and got into the elevator, trying to figure out what was going on.
Something's strange around here. I can feel it.
As he got off on the third floor, the sound of angry snarls immediately hit his ears and his eyes widened. "What the hell?!" The sense of foreboding only intensified when he approached Nanako's apartment door and the snarling got louder.
Takefumi did say it was that time of the month...
Inuyasha bit his lip and tried the doorknob. He was shocked that it was open, and he just went right in. The place was completely empty, except for the furious noises coming from Kagome's room.
"Kagome, is that you?!" He spluttered, dashing into the room. She didn't seem to notice his presence, as her wrists and ankles were once more bound, except that this time, she couldn't get free. She was completely transformed, and much to his discomfort, naked. "What is wrong with you now?!" Kagome stopped struggling to glare at him.
"Do I know you?" She snapped coldly.
"Let's pretend you do." Inuyasha said dryly, not feeling up to explanations.
"I was like this when I woke up. I can't get out."
"Well, now, isn't that just a shame?" He smirked, deciding to unashamedly eye her body.
Might as well take advantage of this, right?
"How about not being a complete asshole and let me out of these fucking chains?"
"Hmm...see, there's a problem with that. You're actually a feral kyuuketsuki in the phase of transformation, and letting you go would be synonymous to, oh, say...letting a newborn run free in a civilized society." He emphasized this analogy with a casual wiggling of his fingers, if only to tease the subdued halfling, who scowled.
"Wait a minute. Didn't I fuck you, like, a month ago?"
"You make it sound like you fuck guys on a regular basis." Despite himself, Inuyasha had to laugh. "But anyway. I don't know whether or not this is good timing or what, but this is the thing. Remember Kirara, right?" Kagome stared up at the ceiling, her brows rumpled in thought.
"I don't think so."
"She's a psychic friend of ours. She told me some things you need to know about a devourer by the name of Houjou. Remember him?"
"Not exactly, but I know that if he's a devourer, he can't be any good."
"Glad you know that." Inuyasha grumbled, annoyed. Why couldn't this time of the month come another...time? She was no use to him so ignorant, and not only that, but if he told her now, she probably wouldn't even remember for long enough to do any good. "Look, if I tell you this stuff, do you think you can remember it when you're back to normal?"
"If I say yes, will you let me out of these chains?"
"...Sure."
"Stop lying to me." Kagome sighed, moving her legs. Inuyasha was momentarily distracted by them, before he shook his head and narrowed his eyes.
"Look, I can't let you out of those things! You're obviously in them for a reason: because you're a dangerous beast whose hunger gives us all a bad name."
"But I'm not even hungry." Kagome pouted, and Inuyasha quirked an eyebrow. "I mean...it's not like I'm perpetually lusting for blood."
"Bullshit." Inuyasha snorted loudly, and Kagome huffed.
"Here's a question. Why am I supposed to know this..."stuff"?"
"So you can help me kill the fucking bastard! I mean, you're the only one who can, according to Kirara!"
"Then here's another. Why don't you just let me free so I can do that?" Kagome drawled. "How the hell am I supposed to help you when I'm practically incarcerated in my own fucking house?!"
"...No." Inuyasha declined firmly. "I don't need Nanako trying to kill methis week, thanks."
"Fine," Kagome spat. "And I'd been willing to make it worth your while, too. But now, you can just kiss my bare ass."
"You know, what gets me is how unwilling you seem to be as your normal half-breed self, yet transformed, you're all over me. Then again, I am quite irresistible." He chuckled arrogantly.
"And conceited to boot." Hypnotized, Inuyasha followed the path of her tongue as she licked her lips, casting bathetic eyes at him. "Please, Inuyasha...let me go?"
"I see you remember me now." He murmured absently, her breasts all the more distinctive now.
"It's so hot..." She sighed wearily, the sheen of sweat shimmering on her skin becoming noticeable to his attentive eyes.
"I see that as well." Inuyasha moved close to her, gently running his fingers along her legs. Kagome shuddered, knowing quite well that he could feel the hot blood pulsing through her body.
"Touch me again, Inuyasha..." She coaxed breathily, and this time, he graced her with a few teasing licks of his adept tongue, right below her bellybutton. Kagome sucked in a harsh breath, her normally dilatory heart rate speeding to that of an Olympic runner.
He's a tease, she thought weakly. Damn. This might not work as I planned.
"God, Inuyasha—ever since our last time together, I've been yearning to feel you inside me again."
"Have you, now?" Inuyasha chuckled lustfully, trailing his tongue up her stomach and atop a plump breast, kissing a nipple. Kagome whimpered, feeling moist. "Now, you wouldn't be saying that just so I would...unchain you, would you? Because you may not know this, but I'm an improvisational man, not to mention extremely kinky. I can fuck you in this chains."
"But that's no fun for me!" Kagome protested, her voice shaky when Inuyasha blew on one of her erect buttons after having sucked it.
"Did I mention that I'm selfish as well?" He grinned devilishly, and she growled, the sound morphing into a content purr as Inuyasha licked the sensitive dip of her neck.
"You b-bastard," she stammered, goosebumps spreading over her chilled skin.
"So complimentary." He replied smoothly, stripping himself of his clothes. It had been so long since the last time Kagome was properly laid, she was in awe of his rippling muscles all over again. However, she had the feeling that no matter how many times she saw him naked, she would never be irreverent about it. Her hands, idle for so long, itched to reach out and grip him, if only to know what he felt like.
"And you...still don't want to let me go?" Kagome swallowed thickly.
"I might consider it." He shrugged, climbing on top of her with the grace of a slender cat, not with the heavy clumsiness of a human man his weight and stature. "But I doubt it." He breathed in her slightly pointed ear, but she was unsure of what to concentrate on—his tantalizing breath, or his extraordinary length heating her thigh. Kagome felt as thought she might actually come, even with such little provocation; he just exuded some obstinate sexual influence that she could never hope to understand. She was glad she hadn't been so sensitive the last time they "met", or she probably wouldn't be enjoying this moment so thoroughly.
"I just...I wanted to pleasure you, that's all..." Kagome whispered shyly. Inuyasha quirked a coolly disinterested eyebrow.
"Oh?"
"It's not everyday I come across a demigod like you." Grinning egotistically, he flexed his muscles, the movement making his member twitch against Kagome's flesh.
That's right, eat it up. Kagome thought wickedly, knowing he was just that much closer to setting her free. Then she would kill him and partake of his heated blood. I just have to keep stroking his ego...lull him into a false sense of security. The overinflated lummox will give me pleasure, as well as sustenance. She licked her lips in anticipation, but Inuyasha mistook it for unabated lust.
"That is true," Inuyasha nodded, abruptly shoving into her tight entrance, immediately filling her all the way. She cried out, pain overshadowing the pleasure. "So we should really make this last." In stark contrast to his previous roughness, Inuyasha pulled out of her at an agonizingly slow pace, possibly to alleviate her throbbing ache.
Or drive me insane! Kagome snarled mentally.
"So. Tell me the truth. Did that hurt as much as I anticipated it would? Keep in mind, I mean entirely on your part. It was absolute bliss on mine."
"Hurt?" Kagome bit her lip, feigning incredulousness, and with an amused chuckle, Inuyasha entered her much more gently this time. "That felt so good, I wanted to cry."
Well, at least that part's true, she thought querulously, somehow feeling he'd hurt her on purpose.
"Is that so? Then I'd like to suggest you start winding up those tear ducts." He waggled his eyebrows mischievously, and before Kagome could avidly protest, he'd thrust hard into her again.
Damn you, you son-of-a-bitch!
"I—Inuyasha, um, why don't we just do this the normal way?" Kagome laughed uneasily. If he kept doing this, she would split into two!
"I do love a proud woman. But it's just you and I here. You can admit it hurts." Inuyasha cooed, and Kagome scowled, never liking to be perceived as weak.
"There's nothing to admit. I'm just not used to this kind of kinkiness. But far be it from me to stop you when you're on a roll...do your worst." She replied nervelessly, and Inuyasha grinned.
"Thanks for the permission." And with that, he commenced rocking steadily against her hips, her moans of pleasure music to his ears.
