I do not own InuYasha or any of the characters created by Rumiko Takahashi

In a Hurry

"Kaze no Kizu!"

InuYasha's voice was harsh, almost a scream as he slammed the huge sword to the ground and five fingers of light raced towards the monster moving towards him. The oni, red and horned, but not too bright, blinked, not sure what to do. Suddenly, he was engulfed, and with a dreadful moan, burst into fragments.

"Stupid oni," he said, and dashed back through the woods. "I've got better things to do."

Kagome, checking the rabbit roasting over the fire at their campsite looked up as he walked into camp. His youki was flaring, and she had heard the roar of his sword attack in the distance. "Trouble?"

"A little," he said. He pulled her close, and gave her a hard, insistent kiss. "Barely slowed me down." He gave her a rather wicked smile. "Not nearly as much trouble as you're in for," he said, pulling back before giving her a much gentler, second kiss. "Full moon tonight."

"Dinner's almost ready," she said, laughing at him as she turned back to the fire.

"Good," he replied. "Let's eat quick. I'm in a hurry for dessert." And then grabbing her one more time, he kissed her again.
