Inuyasha crossover Iron Man
Chapter 23: Hidden Desire

Kagome was silent as she watched and heard what was going on, the constant shouting from Tony, as he demanded to speak with her non-stop as he was dragged out of the mansion. There were a few times when Kagome was tempted to step out to say something or even to act out and prevent him from getting into too much trouble, but mainly to prevent him from being killed by Sesshoumaru.

Her eyes shone with worry for Tony as she looked at the closed shoji door where she last caught a glimpse of him. Kagome looked into Sesshoumaru's cool unwavering eyes and felt the irritation that was rolling off him. She did not fear Sesshoumaru, but more so, she fear for Tony.

"Miko," he called out monotonously to her, but Kagome know better with the tone that he was using. Kagome looked up at him, already expecting for what was the come aside from the harsher training. It was not something that she was new to, but it was also not something that she welcomes but also she was starting to become somewhat lazier.

"You're to disappear," when he told her that, Kagome could only frown at it the meaning behind his words hold one too many meaning.

"Kagome Higurashi is to cease to exist," he informed her, walking across the dojo to where Tokijin lay rested upon the makeshift stand that was designed for it centuries ago.

Their sudden disappearance from the world was something that they often do to not rouse suspicion to themselves, especially with how ageless they seem to always be. This too would mean that she will no longer be able to see many people in her life, Tony included, also if she followed through, then all their problems that had arise will disappear just as easily. Except maybe for when she had to feign her birth from the beginning to the right age before she 'dies' again.

Though it too means that she will be living in seclusion and away from the human's prying eye. Then again, it was something that they were all used to and something common enough that it became like another habit once it was made known of their 'deaths'.

Training was a painful one with how distracted her mind is as Sesshoumaru was constantly winning against her. And when training was over, Kagome left the mansion as she allowed the chauffeur to drive her off to her office where she had many things to settle and prepare for before her 'leaving'. It was just as she had wished for, a fresh new start. Her mind was filled with many things and yet nothing was registering fast enough as she nodded and smiled half-heartedly at those that passed by here with a greeting.

Kagome entered her office, mind fully occupied, until she was disturbed by Tony when he grabbed hold of her to pull her forcefully against his chest. Kagome's eyes widened at the contact, worried for a moment but yet her body remained tensed after finding out who it was. Her secretary had discreetly entered the office, apologizing to her with a deep bow, keeping her eyes averted and down to the ground as she kept glancing in Tony's direction with interest. Kagome saw the interest in her secretary's eyes towards Tony, but did nothing about it except to dismiss her from her office telling her not to enter unless she was called for. It was easy enough, and gave her the chance to maybe break things off with Tony.

"Kagome please," he whispered hoarsely hugging her tightly against his body as he felt her stiffened form melded against his.

"Tony…" She whispered, wanting to say more but felt the lump in her throat as she tried to form words, but instead their lips, his lips desperately moving upon her seeking and requesting with his tongue for entrance.

Kagome put up a resistance against him as she tried to push him away but instead gave in to him when he pressed for entrance into her mouth that intensified with his skillful tongue. Her body melted against his and she was thankful that he was there to hold onto her tightly if not she would be on the ground.

"You can't deny the pull between us," he whispered against her lips, pressing on for an even more passionate if not longer kiss that left her breathless and thinking of nothing else but just him.

It made her most senseless and headless in some sense, but in a good way. There was something that she had wanted to tell him of utmost importance, and yet she was unable to, and thought only at the moment to jump him or continue with what her body craves. With him, it was all about their primal instincts and more, and even if she wanted to stop it, Kagome was constantly being swept up by the waves that Tony Stark was constantly creating whenever they are together. Now for instance, she did not know whether to worry about stopping him or to worry about how their voice might travel.

Kagome found it hard to say 'no' and resist Tony, especially when she herself was more than strongly attracted to him and felt more than just friendship towards him no matter how much she would verbally put him down or say otherwise.

"Your secretary will hear us if you do not keep your voice down," his whispered against the bare skin where he was trailing kisses along.

Kagome looked to him with wide eyes at what he was suggesting but instead a moan tried to escape from her lips as she felt the sudden roughness and rush for passion from Tony that made her gasp and clutched onto him as she tried to pull away, but was instead held onto tighter against him.

Tony could feel her body trying to control its' desire and keeping a hold of her voice from letting anyone barging in from their sound. Taking such a risk in the day time and in an office not belonging to him was something that he knew better than to go against, but then again he break the rules just about all the time, and now will not be any different. Their making out at the moment was just scratching the surface of what he truly desire. Kagome, she fills him up, made him feel more alive, and much more in various manners in which he was unable to explain. And it was most definitely, very different from the way in which he saw Pepper and their relationship as, this was much more than that.

"Kagome," he cried out in a whisper against her ears as he held her close to him, feeling her melting against him as he tried to calm himself down from the more enthusiastic part of him that wanted to turn up the 'heat' between them to greater heights. As Tony whispered words of love into her ears, and cradling her body closely pressed against his own, and yet he refused and ignored to letting her go despite of her current weak attempts.

She was tired out at the moment, feeling herself lulled by his warmth in the late afternoon as he adjusted their position but never letting go on his hold of her against him. It would be terrible should someone walk in on them at the moment, especially with how thoroughly ravished she no doubt looked with lust and passion filled eyes that yearned for more. Outrageous as it was that they had done something like that in her workplace, her office and during work hours!

Tony's breathing was deep and long as he tried to calm his fast beating heart and himself down fast if not he might do something that he might regret. There were many things that were running through his mind, and keeping things hidden like their ambiguous relationship was not something that he wanted. In fact he would have like to declare it out to the world to know, but because he was trying to be considerate of Kagome and wanting to shield her from potential harm, he had refrained from drawing too much attention to her.

And as Tony ignored her attempt to get away from him, by tightened the arm around her waist to pull her down against him firmly, preventing her from escaping. If only it were that simple, he would do just about anything to keep her by his side permanently, however he did not want to do it in a way that will make her hate him. Kagome was now his only few reasons for living, aside from the mission to get rid the terrorists that are using his weaponries. And the ones that threatened to take those close to him away from his life, and maybe the occasional superhero work.

"You've to leave and forget about me Stark," Kagome tried to tell him firmly, but instead came out in a whisper as she looked away from him.

"I can't," he told her firmly after a moment of silence and felt her body tensed against his for a moment. "I'm not going to let you run away from me again," he promised, sealing it with a kiss as he whispered of many other promises in her ears.

It was always because of how he behaved and acted that made her want him more, and times like these made it hard for her to resist against him. Harder so was it to set her heart against him when he had somehow now placed himself into a life that she wanted with him despite of the issues that might occur. Whenever Kagome would try to make a protest or argument out of it, he would start kissing her senseless and make her loose her willpower for the moment and forget about it.

Leaving him was something that she would have to eventually do so, but now that the time was nearing even more, Kagome felt her heart wanting nothing more than to stay and live the rest of his lifespan out with him. Her lower lips quiver as she turned her back to him, wanting nothing more than to follow her heart for the first time as she roughly push him away but was pulled back against his chest with a force as he kept her there reassuring her with words that went in and out of her ears like the passing weather.

"I'll gladly chain myself to you forever if that is what it takes, or even to the afterlife,"

When he said that, Kagome wanted nothing more than to break down crying but instead her heart clenched painfully as she held back her tears and looked away with unblinking eyes, hoping that the tears will be held back. If only he know what that would really mean to her, but by then he would have been dead, and she, she will continue to live on without aging a single day.

"If that happens, let our hearts and soul be bind together for an eternity," Kagome said in as light-hearted a manner as possible, trying to keep the quiver out of her voice as she looked away from him with a fake smile upon her lips.

Death to a person that she has somehow come to love deeply who is now in his prime was not what she wishes for or on anyone in fact. Soon he will not be able to recognize her when she takes on a new name, persona and look, and with time, he will move on again without her by his side like how he have always seem to be able to do.

She could feel his hand around her waist squeezing her reassuringly and no doubt with a sideward smile upon his lips. All the time that they have now were mere few months together, but before that, she will be too busy preparing for her sudden 'business departure'.
