Chapter One

The cool air flowed in through her open window while Kagome laid, unknowingly, asleep in her bed. The summer heat had waned with the setting of the sun and now had a chill to it.

Kagome still kicked her blankets off, tossing and turning restless in her sleep. Hot hands grabbed her ankles to stop her and roll her onto her back. It woke her from her slumber, searching with vision blurred from sleep for what disturbed her. There, at the foot of her bed, were a pair of eyes. She found them quickly because they glowed bright red.

"Inuyasha." She sighed, falling back to her bed and relaxing.

She watched on in a lustful daze as he stripped for her, his 'armor' now protecting her floor, and let her eyes wander over what, she imagined, Inuyasha looked like underneath it. Which, in her mind, was perfection. Hence the perfectly toned pecs and abs that led down to a V at his hips. His cock was already straining, staring back at her while white hairs glowed around it in the dim moonlight.

There was no fear. Not even as he crawled over her, took her wrists, and pressed them into her pillow above her head. And still, no anxiety as his bright red eyes stared down at her hungrily.

Because this was all just a dream.

Over the years, she'd had many. And they all mostly starred Inuyasha with only a few of Sango. Those were just confusing and ignored.

Too many times to count, she'd dreamed of Inuyasha going through the well in the middle of the night because he missed her so much and then made love to her.

But every now and then she had a different dream.

In those dreams, Inuyasha appeared to her in his demon form and released unbridled lust upon her. It was raw and rough, fucking her until she screamed from her hard orgasm.

Kagome didn't have a preference, both versions were equally satisfying. But it was nice to mix it up from time to time. And tonight it was going to be wild.

The first thing Inuyasha did after pinning her was press his large, hard, hot shaft to her core. She was already wet. His ears flicked back and forth and she imagined he heard the squish from her pussy being flooded with juices. Kagome was definitely sure he heard it when a grin stretched across his face, the purple streaks on his cheeks curving into his eyes.

"Happy to see me, Mate?"

She knew she was sad, imagining that she was Inuyasha's mate. But ever since Sango told her about demons and their mates, she'd dreamed that Inuyasha would say she was his. As years passed, the hope died but she still dreamed about it. And after she fully hit puberty and passed through sex ed, the dreams turned into him taking her as his Mate.

Smiling lazily, Kagome wiggled her hips against his, creating friction that made Inuyasha hiss.

Her hands gained their freedom as Inuyasha released them and pulled her sleep shirt up. Her face and eyes covered, she relied on feeling alone. The slight tickle of his claw as it carefully dug under the front center of her bra between her breasts. The tug of the bra's cups on her nipples as he pulled upward. And the pull of gravity of her freed mounds.

Taking them in his hands, he squeezed them tight then rolled them around roughly. It was his teeth on her nipple that had her making sounds, a gasp and a moan escaping when he bit down around the edge of her aurora. He didn't pierce the skin but it would leave a mark. If this was real that is.

For the first time, Kagome was really struggling with reality. Usually, it felt amazing, however, it was clear it was a dream. But tonight? Every sensation was more...intense.

Inuyasha grabbed her hips and flipped her over. The action was so fast and surprising; she was breathless. Even more so when he pulled her up on her knees and ripped down her panties. They were tied around her knees when he pressed his tip into the entrance.

"You want me? Accept me? Love me?"

She shook her head vigorously, suddenly feeling a little nervous as her voice stuck in her throat. "Yes."

"Mate. You're mine." With that, he thrusted in.

It was tight, tighter than usual as pain mixed with pleasure. His fat rod was stretching her wide and molding her to him.

He'd been still for a few heartbeats, but she knew it wouldn't last long. She still twitched her hips in anticipation, her walls quivering with need.

"I want you to remember this always, Kagome. How I took your virginity, stretched you to fit me, and flooded your innocent cunt with my cum."

In her mind, Demon Inuyasha was more foul-mouthed than Inuyasha, saying dirty things that only made her entire body tense with want. She bowed her back, pressing her shoulders and face into her pillows to muffle, and lifted her hips higher for him to fuck her. Inuyasha growled at the action, submitting to him fully, and grabbed her hips hard.

He pulled out to his tip only to thrust back in up to his balls. She cried into her pillow and prayed she wasn't moaning too loud in her sleep. That would make breakfast tomorrow awkward.

Inuyasha continued to pound her, the sound of their flesh slapping filled the air between her gasps and moans and his grunts.

She felt like she was wetting her bed; so much juice was coming out of her, and Inuyasha only made it worse. This was far different from her other dreams where Inuyasha visited her. She could actually feel him as his tip pressed to her womb. It had heat flooding her body much faster than in her other dreams and the coil in her belly tightening to the point of snapping.

It wasn't like she had anything to compare it to; she was twenty-one and still a virgin. But with going back and forth between eras, fighting Naraku and other demons they came across or had jewel shards in them, and being in love with a man who's still not over his ex, she hadn't had much time for dating.

So instead, she dreamed of giving the man she loved most in this world (and in his) her virginity. And tonight was no different, except for feeling even more like she was losing her mind.

"Inuyasha…"

He curled over her, pressing his chin into her shoulder. "Say it again.."

"Inu...yasha AH!" She was going to come, and it was going to be hard. "Inuya...shaaaaaaa…."

He growled in her ear, licking the shell of it. "You're….squeezing me...so tight. You don't...want me to stop…..do you, Mate?"

Her mind was busy dancing in the hormonal juices of her orgasm, and her walls were convulsing like mad. Shivering in the aftershock and from his cock still rubbing deep inside her, she shook her head 'no' violently.

"Good...because I'm not going to...stop…"

He reached around and found her breasts, squeezing them tighter than before as he rolled them around. Her over-sensitive body was now shaking, her hips going out of her control as she bucked back into him.

One of his hands left her breasts and slid down between her thighs. Using two fingers, he found and pinched her clit hard.

The back of her thighs were numb; if this were real, they'd be red and chapped tomorrow from his assault on them. It felt like her thighs and ass were being spanked repeatedly; the pain only made her tingle all over and wet his dick more.

He rolled her clit between his fingers, and her pussy quivered again, another orgasm pushing its way out of her.

This time, Inuyasha bit the back of her neck hard. She could feel his fangs sink into her while his tip sunk into the deepest parts of her vagina. And that's where he was when he came, twitching so hard his entire cock wiggled inside her, pressing against her walls.

The pain from her neck went down her spine and vibrated her entire being. It only made her gush against his penis and moan his name loudly into her pillow.

She was so out of breath that it felt like running from a horde of angry demons for hours. When all she'd done was get fucked by Inuyasha in a dream.

It took a few minutes for her to come back to a place of understanding, her mind spinning from the rush. Inuyasha was hovering over her, his hands next to her ribs, licking the spot he'd just bit to clean it. His dick inside her was the only thing keeping her from flopping to the bed completely. So when he slowly pulled out of her, the slick sound of her innards losing his stiffness unwillingly filling the room, she fell down.

She moaned like a kid, not wanting to get up for school when he rolled her over onto her back. Heavy lids made it hard for her to see him, but she felt him fix her clothes and lay near her.

"Kagome…" she let her head flop to the side to look at him, his red eyes glowing in her dark bedroom, "I love you."

That was new. Usually, the dream ended as soon as she came. Her dream gave her something different, something she needed more than anything for the first time. And her happy tears clearly freaked him out.

"I love you too. So much."

He pulled her to him, a hand on her hip that remained and kneaded the flesh long after. "You're my Mate. Forever. No one else will ever touch you, and you'll never love anyone but me. Ever."

She huffed against his neck, having flopped her head there once he pulled her to him. "I don't want anyone else. I love you. Forever."

His hand dug into her hair, tilting her head back and covering her mouth with his. His bottom lip between hers, she sucked and nipped while he did the same to her top lip. When he slid his tongue across, she opened her teeth and allowed the second appendage of his that night to enter her.

Her head was starting to spin when they pulled away from each other, either from lack of oxygen or her grip on reality again. Eyes she would never fear, no matter the color, filled her vision. "Remember this night, Kagome. Never forget that I'm your first and only. That you're mine."

Throwing a weak arm, she got her hand on his chest and curled a few white strands around her fingers. "How could I? This is the best dream I've ever had."

She slipped away after that. Curling into Inuyasha as much as possible, he accepted her into his embrace. He was saying something to her, trying to get her to wake up and listen, but her mind and body refused. The dream was over so there was nothing left to say.

oOo

On the first day of summer and the rest of her life, Kagome lay (lazy) in her bed. She was sore. A combination of twitching her muscles and the orgasm she'd given herself in her sleep.

Listening to the cheerful songs of the birds outside, her attention landed on her open window. When did she open that last night? Her mother probably came in and did it when Kagome didn't get up at dawn like usual.

Stretching, she was like a cat, trying to rid herself of her stiff muscles before forcing herself out of her comfy bed. It would be the last time she slept on it for a long time, her summer planned out already. And the plan was, 'Get Naraku'.

Not super elegant, but it got the point across. They were all tired of the fighting. Sango and Miroku just wanted to start their lives together as a married couple. Start a family without fear of Miroku's curse. But instead, they were stuck roaming the feudal era's lands in search of a way to end Naraku. At least she'd managed to finish High School and even go to college. But now, she was using her Pre-Med degree to create herb combinations that best cured burns and open wounds in a time that lacked penicillin.

That reminded her; that she needed to pack all the first aid stuff in the house. Including some Advil.

Years ago, Kaeda gave her some Priestess robes to blend in better. She wore them to mark herself as a healer since that's what she was. The red and white were folded neatly over her chair in her room. She'd put them on before she left, for now, she grabbed a pair of shorts and headed down for some breakfast.

This would be her last breakfast with her family for several months. Unless there was an emergency, she wasn't coming home until the fall semester started. That was a few months away, so it would be a looooong...vacation. More like a work-study.

Gramps and Sota sat at the table, a bright smile on her brother's face. His shaggy brown hair was dangerously close to being in his eyes, and she loved giving him a hard time about it, scooting around the table to ruffle it up.

He cried out and pushed her hands away quickly, but not quick enough. "Hey! I had it perfect!"

She snorted at him. "What are you? A girl?"

"Men can take pride in their hair too. Don't be sexist, Sis!"

At that, she held her hands up in defeat. Because he was right. She'd been spending too much time around Inuyasha and his outdated and brash mindset.

His eyes flashed in her mind at the mere thought of his name. The red coals that hovered over her last night. And stared back at her while telling her he loved her. It made her shake, shivering from her toes all the way up to the strands on her head.

"Kagome? Are you alright?" Her mother worried, dropping what she was doing in the kitchen to place a hand on her forehead.

Kagome had no doubt that she felt warm, but it was due to her flush, remembering what dream Inuyasha had done to her last night. The orgasm had been intense.

She needed to get a hold of herself, though. Years of practice would serve her well: since the first time she dreamed of sex with Inuyasha, she nearly passed out the next day when he touched her. In her mind, he could smell it on her or something. His sensitive nose could definitely smell the sweat and dried discharge from her mind telling her body it was receiving pleasure. Something she learned in one of her classes, the body reacts to stimulus even if the stimulus is in your head.

Which reminded her. Kagome needed to take a bath before she saw Inuyasha.

They all sat at the table, breakfast before them, when the front door slammed open. "Kagome!"

Her mother smirked, Gramps rolled his eyes, and Sota jumped to his feet while she groaned into her palms. That's where Inuyasha found her, covering her face as she rested her head on her hands. She peeked out curiously when he was quiet, taking a seat next to her. He was staring at her hard, concern clear on his face.

"What is it?"

"Are you...okay?"

Over the years, she'd lost count of the times Inuyasha showed her affection in the only way he knew how. He cared for her, and she knew it. He'd made it clear with little moments over the years; things said, holding her close, risking his life for hers. So when he showed it now, she no longer flushed from it, and neither did he. That was something that took a long time to stop because he used to get super embarrassed and resemble a tomato.

"I'm fine. Why do you ask?" She answered softly.

"Because...because you're late!"

And the moment was over.

She sighed as loudly as her human body allowed. "It's my last day at home for a while! I'm spending it with my family!"

"She spent it in bed." Sota snorted.

Inuyasha's eyes were on her again, confusion and concern mixed with anger. "Are you sick?"

"What? NO! I told you, I'm fine!"

He was staring at her as if the answers were on her face. While she feared the answer was on her skin, and he would smell it any second now. Shoveling in some rice and her grilled fish, she jumped up from her seat and made for the stairs. "I'm taking a shower."

She heard Inuyasha follow, his chair sliding loudly across the floor. "What? We need to go! We're losing time!"

Stopping only to turn and glare back at him, she caught the dance his apple did, a sign of his when he was scared of her. "The only one losing time is me since I spend all of mine helping you! I think I deserve one last shower before I plunge into the world of river baths, don't you?!"

He coward a little but nodded his head. She'd won, turning on her heel to continue up the stairs when he stopped her again. "Kagome…"

This time she didn't stop, glancing back at him over her shoulder. "Inuyasha, I promise I won't be long. Just give me this, okay?"

His mouth sealed shut with that and left her alone. She was thorough with her washing, especially between her legs. Even though it was a little sore (oddly enough). Maybe she came so hard in her dream that she worked the muscles in her thighs and vagina to the point of soreness? She'd need to look that up, see if it was possible.

But NOT while Inuyasha was in her house. If she had to explain a cell phone one more time...plus, he'd pop up behind her and see what she was looking at. He probably couldn't read it (his kanji wasn't the strongest), especially if she looked at sites in English. But she'd mistranslate while rushing and him prying asking questions...it just wasn't worth it right now.

Her skin was still wet when she pulled on the robes, but the heat of summer was already upon the day, and the robes were rather thick. She enjoyed the cool sensation it gave her (soon-to-be) very warm body.

Inuyasha sat in a corner of the living room, legs and arms crossed and ears twitching. He never liked the modern world; too loud and smelly for him. She got it, she really did. Going into the feudal era was like going deaf; the silence was scary at first. Kagome got used to it time and time again, though as she had no other choice. But Inuyasha never got used to the difference.

His place was in the past.

Proof of which when he visibly relaxed as soon as they stepped onto the grass on the other side of the well. Her life behind her, she looked ahead to her tasks and goals. Kagome missed her family terribly, and it was clear they didn't like her coming here. Even as the years passed and she got older, that never changed. But it was also not their choice. It wasn't hers either, fate chose her to come here. Fate and the Shikon jewel embedded in her body.

Shippo leaped off the side of the well where he'd been waiting and grabbed onto her shoulders, much like a young Sota used to do to her. "Finally! Kagome, you've been gone so long! I've missed you!"

Sometimes she forgot the time difference. A few days in her time was over a week in this one. "I missed you too, Shippo."

It was true. As much as she missed her family in the modern time, she equally missed her family in the feudal time. Which reminded her.

"Where's Sango and Miroku?"

The young couple usually met her at the well with Shippo, but they were nowhere in sight today. Glancing at Inuyasha, since Shippo was still firmly attached, he looked overly annoyed compared to his usual. "I don't know; I've been busy getting you!"

"They left for a nearby town. There was a rumor of a water monster. They think it's a water yokai with a shard."

Inuyasha smirked, and Kagome knew exactly what he was thinking instantly. "Oh, good. I've been needing to rip something to shreds."

When he picked her up, Shippo too, as he still clung to her, she tried to protest. "I need my bow!"

But he just chuckled. "Not today. This one is mine."

oOo

It's been two days, and she still couldn't stop herself. Neither could the others, glancing back at the sullen Hanyou only to snicker, giggle, or outright laugh.

"It's still not fucking funny, you jackasses."

He shouted at the back of their heads when Miroku sent them on another giggle fest. It only took one of them to turn and look back, and they all started up together.

"We really need to find him a place to wash," Sango whispered, barely containing herself.

"Yeah, we really do," Kagome added.

"I think we should just leave his stinky butt behind!" Shippo said a little too loud.

Said stinky Hanyou picked up his pace just enough to knock the back of the Kitsune's head with his fist. "You wouldn't survive one day without me!"

"At least we'd die breathing clean air!" Miroku shot back.

And they all burst out laughing that time. It wasn't so much that Inuyasha smelled bad; that happened from time to time with fighting demons and getting sweat, blood, tears, and internal organs showered on you. But this time?

"That's what you get for insisting on handling it on your own, Inuyasha." Sango teased.

"How was I supposed to know that the damn thing would explode!" Inuyasha cried.

Kagome chuckled, "Everything explodes when you use Tetsega!"

"Feh, well," she had him there, "I didn't know it would explode and cover me in…"

He stopped because he was probably tired of saying it. But she wasn't. "In purple blood that dyed your hair and skin?"

It was true. Inuyasha looked just like the girl in Willy Wonka that turned into a blueberry. But he would never get that reference. None of them would. They all still laughed just the same because, reference or not, Inuyasha was purple everywhere. His rat robes were fine, impervious as always. Whatever skin was uncovered was now a light fuschia. It matched his hair.

"I'm sure we'll find a hot spring soon." She cooed back at him, trying to calm him down.

"We've been looking for two damn days now. I'm just going to go wash in a stream."

Miroku huffed, "Again? Didn't pan out for you last time."

"You need hot water and a scrub. Otherwise, you'll be purple forever."

Her words set everyone off again, and Inuyasha growled behind them. "Let's just fucking get there already!"

They had a few more hours of fun and found a hot spring. She was sure she felt the same as the others, not wanting a grumpy Hanyou anymore but also sad to see their toy lose its 'color'.

They made camp nearby in case Inuyasha fell in or something. Plus, she and Sango wanted a turn in the bath as well. The two of them could handle anything, but the men insisted they be close. Shippo would probably take a bath with them even though he was getting a little old for that.

All was quiet and calm, Inuyasha hard at work scrubbing away while they made a fire and started dinner. Then Inuyasha returned.

"I need help."

He was speaking to Kagome softly so the others wouldn't hear, but she burst out laughing when she looked at him, catching everyone else's attention and humor too.

Inuyasha was numb to it now, his face stoic as he continued to speak to her and only her. "You got that stuff for hair with you, right?" She nodded, pressing both hands into her mouth to stop her sounds. "Good. Can you help me get this purple shit out of my hair?!"

It was the only part left of him that was purple, his pants were on, and nothing else to prove it. Luckily, he was too funny for her to care that his body fit her dream to a T (from the waist up, for sure). If she were guessing, he'd washed his clothes too. They were more than just damp from his skin.

She grabbed her huge bottle of shampoo and chased after him. He didn't seem to mind she was there as he stripped again, but she turned her head. He probably knew she would look away, so he didn't care.

Sitting, Inuyasha leaned back against a short rock, the height perfect for her to sit behind him and scrub. But he tensed visibly when she pulled the legs of her pants up to her knees and put them on either side of his shoulders. "What are you doing?"

"Getting comfortable? You did want me to wash your hair, right?" He grumbled but said nothing more. Kagome got to work and soon had him lathered up. "Keep your eyes closed, so I don't get soap in them."

Kagome didn't check to see if he listened. It would be his problem if he ignored her. She was scrubbing so hard that his head wiggled back and forth from it.

"Kagome…" she leaned to the side to see his eyes closed while he spoke, "what are you… planning on doing after?"

"... after?"

"After we kill Naraku?"

It was shocking the first time Inuyasha or anyone had asked her that. "Um… I'll go on to med school."

"You'll go back to your time?"

"Of course! How else will I go to school?"

Inuyasha was silent for a moment, and she was nearly done. "Have you ever… considered staying here? Staying in this… place with us?"

Hands on his shoulders, she waited to dunk his head until she said what she needed him to hear. "Why would I do that? If Naraku is dead, then you no longer need a shard collector. What reason would I have to stay here?"

"To stay by my side as you promised?" He fumed.

His eyes were still closed, but he'd turned his face as if to look at her. Ignoring the deep slash to her heart (because the only Inuyasha that showed her anything more than friendly affection was in her dreams) she forced the next line out of her mouth.

"You have Kikyo for that."

She didn't want to hear if he had more to say. So she shoved him under the water to rinse and stepped over his head. Holding up her pant legs, she walked back to shore. Kagome was only halfway there when he sputtered back to the surface.

"Make sure you wash all the soap out," Kagome called out, not looking back and forcing herself not to run away.
