Inuyasha was now in a constant state of arousal; it didn't help that Kagome was a cock tease either! She would parade around in tank tops and super short shorts that would come up and barley cover her cheeks. And the worse part of it? She didn't know that she was doing it! He growled for the millionth time that morning. Looking up he saw the object of his desires come waltzing through the door with a hot pink tank top and heather gray shorts. Inu Jr twitched painfully. Yes, they had continued their 'sessions' but damn if he didn't want more! Ever since that almost 'fuck me here and now!' thing in the bathroom one week ago, he was about to literally lose his mind! He wanted nothing more to pin that delectable piece of ass down and fuck her till she couldn't walk for a week! BUT NO! She had some kind of issues or some shit like that! He closed his eyes and took a calming breath hoping that it would help. 'DAMNNIT! Why does she always have smell so damn good?!' Her sweet scent of cherry blossoms filtered through his nose and made him growl more. He had to get away for a little while before he did something he would regret.

"Kagome I'm going to go over to Miroku's for a little while. Why don't you call Sango and have a girls day!" He said as he slammed the door a little too hard as he was leaving.

Kagome turned from her musings in the laundry room befuddled. "Okay?"

Quickly pulling away from the apartment building he dialed the houshi's number. "You better not be at work you bastard…" Two rings later he picked up.

"Hello Inuyasha! What can I do for you on this fine day!" He said a little too happy; it only irritated the hanyou more.

"Please tell me you're at home and not at the office…"

Miroku paused. 'He doesn't sound great…' "Yeah… I'm at home. Are you having trouble in paradise my friend?" He asked with mirth.

Inuyasha growled again. "You have NO idea! Is Sango off today? I don't want to leave Kagome alone."

"Yeah she's in the shower."

Inuyasha smirked. "I'm surprised you're not in there too…"

Miroku laughed. "She's now taking a cold shower, instead of a hot one…"

"Yeah I really didn't need to know that dude. I'll be there in ten minutes; tell Sango to get her ass over to my place."

Miroku sighed. "She's not gonna be happy being bossed around, but hey! She gets to see her best friend for the day! She shouldn't be too mad."

Inuyasha growled. "I really don't give a rat's hairy ass about what she thinks. I just want Kagome to be safe, and I REALLY cannot be there right now…"

Miroku sighed. "Okay see you soon."

Inuyasha made it to Miroku's in eleven minutes flat. Walking up the stairs to the building he let himself in. Miroku was in the kitchen nursing a cup of coffee, pointing to the already served cup on the counter. Grabbing it he sat down across from him at the table. Sango came in looking for her shoes. "Good morning Inuyasha. How are you this morning?"

He glared at her as she smiled slightly. Throwing her hands up in the air she relented. "Okay! Okay! I'm heading out. By the time today is over, your little problem will be dealt with."

"You don't even know what's going on Sango…"

She smiled. "I have known Kagome for over twenty years. You'll be thanking me by then end of week. See you guys later!" Closing the door behind her, she smirked. 'Yep. Now it's time for me to work my magic!'

"Alright spill."

Inuyasha got up and made his way to the fridge. "Thanks for the coffee man, but I think I need something a little bit stronger…" Pulling a beer out of the door, popping the top, he took a long swig.

"You're avoiding the question…" Miroku stated as he finished his coffee.

Inuyasha sighed. "Not really…"

Getting up from his seat with his and Inuyasha's cup he came into the kitchen, placing them into the sink. "So what brought you over here in such a hurry, and not being with that mate to be of yours?"

He laughed. "Well my mate to be is a fucking cock tease! And she's too naïve to realize it!"

Miroku looked at him and waited. "And..."

Inuyasha looked at him then down in shame. "And if I stayed any longer, I would've done something I would've regretted."

"Ah. I see. Taking yourself away from the situation. But you know you can't stay away for long…"

Inuyasha took another long swig of his beer. "Yeah I know. I'll go back soon…"

Sango entered Inuyasha's apartment, kicking off her shoes at the door. Hearing her friend from the kitchen she bounded in. "Hello beautiful!"

Kagome smiled as she gestured to the coffee in the pot. Sango smiled. Grabbing the empty cup on the counter, she poured herself a cup. "Do you have any…?"

"Top shelf to the left." Kagome laughed; oh she knew her friend so well. Seeing her friend get the caramel sauce and hazelnut creamer out of the fridge she made her coffee just the way she liked it. Kagome grabbed the sugar jar and offered Sango the sugar.

Stirring her concoction, she brought it to her lips smiling as the flavor was just right. "Well I can see why Inuyasha left…"

Kagome choked a little. "W-What?! Maybe you can enlighten me; I have no idea why!"

Sango laughed. "You really are clueless! Do you normally wear that all day?" She asked pointing to the very short shorts and tank top that showed a lot of skin.

Kagome furrowed her eyebrows and looked down at her outfit. "Um… Usually. I like to be comfortable… Why, what's wrong with it?!"

Sango was laughing so hard she was crying. "Kagome, you are a very attractive woman with a half demon mate; one that literally wants to fuck your brains out, and all you can do is egg him on! What you're wearing is a cock tease!"

Kagome's eyes grew wider and she turned a bright shade of red. "Oh…" Kagome sighed as she looked down into her coffee mug.

Sango smiled slightly. "Okay what's wrong?"

Kagome looked up and sighed. "Nothing really…"

Sango put down her cup and came up in front of her friend. Taking the cup from her hands she held them. "Kagome, I've known you long enough to know that something's wrong…"

Kagome sighed. "I don't know. I just have some doubts about this mating."

"Have you talked to Inuyasha about this?"

She shook her head no. "I guess I'm too scared to. What the answers might be."

Sango sighed and gave her a hug. "You really need to talk to him about this. You trust him don't you?"

Kagome looked at her friend and thought about it. He never led her astray and she cared for him and she knew he would take care of her. "Yeah I do."

Sango smiled. "Then let's get him back over here and have that talk…"

Inuyasha got back to his apartment around noon. Sango had left by then so it was only the two of them. Locking the door and kicking off his shoes, he made his way into the kitchen. Kagome was at the stove cooking what smelled like spaghetti. His mouth watered; he really didn't have any breakfast that morning before he left. He also noticed that she changed into yoga pants and a t-shirt that wasn't too tight. Chuckling he mused that Sango must've known all along.

Kagome turned to see him looking at her and blushed. Sango had left and she immediately tried to find something that covered her up enough where Inuyasha wouldn't be so tempted. She was astonished that she didn't have very much in the way of loose fitted and conservative; she only hoped what she had on was okay. Shaking her head she put that in the back of her mind and sighed. "Hungry?"

He smiled. "Famished…"

Kagome smiled. "Well, sit down and relax. I'll serve you up."

Bending over to get the dishes out of the dishwasher she found a 'Kagome' sized bowl, an 'Inuyasha' sized bowl and some forks. Serving him first, setting the food in front of him with the fork in it, she served herself.

She was doing it again. Although she had changed, he still could make the contours of her body through her clothing. Bending over just made it worse; granted he would've already been on her by now if she was still wearing the shorts… Glancing down at his food, he wasn't really hungry in that sense anymore; all he wanted was to devour HER! Damn he shouldn't have come home this early.

Kagome had sat down and started to eat when she noticed that he hadn't even touched his yet. "Inu? Is something wrong?"

Looking up, she saw his eyes were almost red and his stripes had appeared. Kagome choked a little, but didn't run away. "Keep this warm. I'll be back in a few minutes…" His voice was more ragged and deeper. Kagome shivered slightly; not in fear, but arousal. Not good for the demon in front of her. Then she thought of something! Looking inside herself she masked her scent so that he couldn't smell it. She wasn't sure if she could control his demon side yet.

Inuyasha smelled the room and caught a hint of her arousal before it disappeared. Looking at her, he smiled and walked away. She had learned a lot from the old miko. Running to the bathroom he looked in the mirror and saw his other side slowly making his way to the surface; that couldn't happen yet. Rummaging through the cabinet, he couldn't find them. "Shit!"

'Need mate now! Release me!'

'Oh no you don't! Get back in your cage damn it!'

'Like hell I will! You're the one keeping me locked up and not taking our mate! So now I'll have to do the dirty work!'His beast surged to the forefront of his mind and almost had control, but Inuyasha took back control at the very last second.

'RELEASE ME!'

Inuyasha finally found what he was looking for and he really hoped he wouldn't have to use it. 'Listen beast. If you don't submit, I'll have to make you. You don't want me to drug you do you?' He was sweating and shaking with effort to keep control; unloading the pre-filled syringe just in case.

His beast paused. 'You wouldn't dare!'Opening his now red eyes, he looked down and saw that his master was not kidding. 'YOU WOULD?! After all that pain I went through, you still would?!'

Inuyasha whined. 'Get back into your cage. Please! It hurts me too you know…'

Snarling, his beast took over for a second and roared out his conquest. Inuyasha got back what little control he could and stabbed himself with the syringe. His beast roared again but then whined out. He felt his senses dull and become cloudy. Slumping to the floor he groaned. Oh how he hated being human.

Kagome had just finished her meal when she heard a roar coming from their bathroom. Instantly remembering that time at the hospital where he lost control of his beast she ran to the bathroom. She hesitated for a moment. Hearing him groan she knew she had to get in there. Grabbing her handy-dandy bobby pin, she unlocked the door and slowly went in. What she found in the bathroom broke her heart. Inuyasha was slumped to the ground in front of the sink with his head hanging low. His hair was almost the same color as hers and his signature fuzzy ears were no longer there. Kneeling down in front of him she combed her fingers through his hair.

He flinched slightly when he felt fingers through his hair. Looking up with his brown eyes, he saw blue worried ones. "How is it that I lock the door but you still find a way in here?"

Kagome smiled slightly. "One of my many secrets. You want me to help you with anything?"

This is the reason why he hated being human; he absolutely hated that he was this weak. But when he used the tranquilizer, it was one-hundred times worse. He couldn't even hold his head up. He sighed. "Can you help me to the couch?"

"Yeah, of course." Kagome got up behind him and she pulled under his arms while he tried to push up with his feet. Finally getting him on two feet, she wrapped his right arm around her shoulders and helped him walk to the couch.

Slumping down onto it he groaned. "I hate this shit…"

Kagome sighed. Combing her fingers through his hair again, he sighed in contentment. After a few minutes, she asked the question that has been plaguing her mind for the past thirty minutes. "Inu? Why did you have to tranq him?"

Inuyasha sighed. Opening his human eyes, he turned his head to look at his mate to be. "He's been increasingly getting harder to control. It came to a head today; I lost control and I had enough sense to shut him up before…he did something he would regret later…"

Kagome's eyes widened slightly. "He would've come after me?"

Inuyasha sighed. Turning away from her, he really didn't want to continue. "I have been keeping him at bay; telling him no because you weren't ready; he warned me this would happen. He didn't count on the tranquilizer though…"

Kagome groaned and hit her head on his shoulder slightly. "If I didn't have all of these issues, then you wouldn't have had to do this. We could've already been mates by now."

Shrugging his shoulder, he got her attention. "Hey. Don't be like that."

"But it's the truth Inuyasha! I'm just a big scaredy-cat!" She let a tear fall.

Reaching up, he was barely able to wipe her tears away. "What are you scared of? You can tell me…"

Kagome looked up and saw nothing but trust and love in his eyes. She sighed again. "What will happen when we mate? I just don't understand a lot of stuff…"

Inuyasha smirked. "Yeah my dad didn't really talk about that much did he?"

She shook her head no but was smiling slightly. "No he didn't. I kinda made a quick get-away."

"Well let's see. Once we perform the blood bond, your body will start to change in many different ways. Your body will change to accommodate any offspring we would have, it will change the way you age; you'll age like me, so we'll be together for as long as I live…"

Kagome knew this about demon mating, but she guessed it really never clicked until he said it. She would outlive her family; could she really do that? "Inu? What's going to happen when Gramps, Mama and… Souta die? When my daddy died, I was devastated. How am I going to be able to handle that?"

He reached out and caressed her hand. "I will be there with you, through thick and thin. I will be your shoulder to cry on. And you will be mine. Miroku isn't going to be around forever either…"

Kagome hadn't thought of all of her friends! Sango and Miroku too! She would outlive them all! How can demons do this so easily?! "How many of your friends have passed on?"

Inuyasha swallowed a lump in his throat. "I have had a few friends that I outlived. It was one of the most horrible experiences I had to deal with when I was growing up. My mom also had to go through this, seeing her family wither and die while she stayed the same after so many years. She said that it never gets better, watching people you know and love die, but you have to think of all of the happy and fun times you had with them and that's what keeps them alive in your heart; even when they are not there in person anymore. That helped me a little, but you never really get over it."

Kagome let a few more tears fall. There was one question that she wanted to ask but she knew that there was only one answer to the question; and she was so scared to ask it.

Inuyasha noticed that she had stopped talking and was picking at an invisible thread on the couch. "Kagome I know there's something else on your mind. Tell me…"

She chuckled. "How can you know me so well?"

He chuckled and shrugged his shoulders again. "The same way you know how to calm me when I'm stressed and tired. You know just how to make me feel better…"

She smiled. "Well there is one question…"

He waited anxiously. 'What question is making her this nervous?'

"Inu? What if you get tired of me? What if you find someone else?" She could feel unshed tears beginning to build. There was only one correct answer and she didn't know if she could handle anything else.

He smiled and leaned over and gave her a huge kiss. "I could never get tired of you, koishii. And I will only have eyes for you, I love you now and I will continue to love you until the end of time."

Kagome gasped. Searching in his eyes for any deceit and finding none. "You love me?"

Inuyasha kissed her again. "You know it."

Kagome kissed him again. 'I think this mating just might work…'
