Broken Paradise

Chapter 8: Two Beds and a Coffee Machine

"Dammit all!" Inuyasha cursed as he pushed the car down the road. Miroku steered. "I can get out and help push!" Sango insisted. She'd been trying to convince him to let her help for the last thirty minutes. She felt useless just sitting in the car beside Kagome. "We all know you're big and strong, just let her help!"

"I got this! No sense in straining yourself, Sango."

Kagome steered while Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha pushed the car. They rolled into the nearest inn, which fortunately hadn't been too far up the road.

"Get that hunk of junk out of here!" Boomed a male voice. He raced over and gestured wildly. "It's temporary, jerk!" Inuyasha shot back.

"Listen, this isn't a parking lot. It's bad for business."

"Well, if you help then we can move it faster."

"Pardon me, sir." Kagome interrupted. Icy-blue eyes shot in her direction and immediately softened.

"Oh, excuse me. How can I help you?" "WHAT?!" Could be heard shout from the background. Everyone else disappeared to him. He leaned his arm on the hood of the car and opened the door for her. "Could we use your phone to call a mechanic?" She asked sweetly, but didn't step out.

"Hate to break it to you, but this is the only place for 20 miles and any shop is closed for the weekend."

"Then, I guess we'll need a few rooms for the weekend." She said and stepped out. "The name's Kouga." He held out his hand to help her up. "Kagome. This is Sango, Miroku and you sort of met Inuyasha." "Yeah, I met his attitude anyway." He remarked and led them inside.

Inuyasha was pissed. Miroku had talked him down outside.

"Just two rooms." Inuyasha interjected as he came up behind Kagome. "What are you doing?" She asked him as he came up behind her. He was standing so close, she could feel the contours of the buttons of his shirt against her back. He didn't answer, just shot her a glare.

"Right, Sango and I will share a room." Kagome said with an unwavering smile. Kouga's eyes shifted between the group. "Okay. It's none of my business. Here are the keys." He placed them in her palm and folded his hand over hers. "Thank you." She replied. She continued to smile politely. She felt nervous as he showed them to their rooms. She eyed Inuyasha out of the corner of her eye. He was quiet, arms crossed, and his eyebrows were knitted together tighter than usual.

"I'm not staying with you, dude." Miroku said as he pulled Sango into their bedroom.

"Don't start, Inuyasha." She said as she closed the door behind them. "What?" He practically growled, scowl growing more prevalent, and he shrugged his crossed arms, staring her down. "I just acted like that to get us what we needed, OK. You bit the guy's head off when you met him!" She said as she fluffed a blouse out of her suitcase. "He was being an ass!" He defended. "Even so! It's the only place for 20 miles. You can't piss off the only help we have!" "Yeah, Okay, whatever. Can we go eat now?" He sighed heavily. His temper seemed to simmer.

"You're in luck. I got some wine tasting for you." Kouga said as he poured Kagome a glass of red for her first. He placed out a charcuterie in front of her. "This is really nice." Kagome obliged. "This is on the house." He assured. "Well, who are we to turn down such hospitality." Miroku added as he sampled a slice of meat.

"Why the hell is he being so pleasant?"

"Inuyasha!" Kagome scolded as she looked to see if said-man was out of earshot.

"Hey! Check out the jukebox, " Kouga said as he returned with another bottle of wine. He bumped his hip against it and it started to play "Come" by Amuro Namie. "Let's dance." He held out his hand to Kagome.

She placed her hand in Kouga's and Inuyasha's chair slid back noisily as he stood up.

"Inuyasha?"

"Fuck off." He snapped at her and in a flash he was out the door.

Kouga watched with mouth agape and eyes wide at Kagome's receding form.

"Inuyasha!" She called after him, jogging to catch up to his walking pace. She reached out a hand to catch him. "Wait up!" "Feh!" Was all he said as he stomped down the road.

"Where are you going?" She called after him. Her voice raised like she was getting angry. He slowed down so she could catch up. "I'm going to get us another ride. I don't want to stay here, do you?!" He turned abruptly and she crashed into his hard chest.

She looked up into his expression, expecting to find anger, but he looked hurt instead. "What's going on?" She asked softly, lifting her hand to touch him. He jolted and took a step back. "Don't touch me with the hand you touched him with."

"I don't get why you're so upset. Would you just talk to me?" She pleaded. "Just go back to wolf-boy. Maybe that's what you really want, huh, a full demon?" He spat.

A crease appeared between her brows as she frowned. She huffed and pressed a finger to his chest as she said firmly, "Don't just assume and act like a jerk! That you would even think I want Kouga-" "I see the way he looks at you. Go on, he's waiting for you. I'm outta here. Just forget about me." Inuyasha said gruffly, his voice betraying his angry stance and look.

"I would never forget about you! How could you even say that to me?" Kagome's voice broke along with whatever wall Inuyasha had been putting up.

"And I like you as a half demon, Inuyasha!" She threw her arms around him. He stood frozen for a moment, still in disbelief that she was still standing before him let alone holding onto him. "Stay, Inuyasha." She muttered against his chest. "I'll stay. Just for you." He said, just above a whisper. He placed a hand behind her head and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, holding her against him even tighter.

She took him by the hand and lead him back to the inn. All around them were only rolling hills and snow-capped peaks. There was one dirt road that stretched for miles. But, fog could be seen rolling in. The wind started to pick up and it there was a crisp chill in the air.

He wrapped an arm around her shivering form. He mentally kicked himself, it was his fault she was out here without a sweater. He hadn't realized how far down the road he'd actually walked.

They came up to the inn where the three they'd left behind were playing cards. "Hey! I can read all your fortunes." Kagome said as she walked into the den. Kouga's eyes fell to where she still held onto Inuyasha's hand. She let go when she went to sit on the couch across from Sango.

"Read my palm." Kouga said and held it out for her. She giggled and politely declined, "I can't do that, but your cards I can." "Well, I'm gonna leave you all to that. That kinda stuff freaks me out anyway. I'd rather live in the present and not spoil what the future holds." He dismissed himself.

"You already read my cards." Inuyasha reminded, sitting back and relaxing now. "Maybe I'm cursed." Miroku stated as he curiously stared at his right hand and picked up the cards. "Don't say that, Miroku." Sango placed a hand on his wrist. "You're right, I'm the luckiest man alive." He replied as he kissed his fiancée.

"Don't need our cards read. We know what our future looks like." Sango cooed. "Yeah, they'll probably have kids right away." The half demon scoffed and rolled his eyes. "I think that's sweet." Kagome murmured. "It took us a while to get to this point and now we don't want to waste anymore time." Miroku looked pointedly at his single male friend.

"Keh!" He shifted uncomfortably. "C'mon, Miroku. Let's leave these two alone." Sango teased, but did stand up.

"Where are you two goin?" Dog-boy practically shouted.

"You want a play by play?" Miroku jeered.

"Damn, pervert!"

Kagome and Inuyasha sat in silence. The only sound was of the shifting of the cards. She placed them in a pile and was fidgeting to straighten them out.

"Wanna play 52 pick up?" She joked, turning to look at him. Why was her heart racing now that they were alone? They'd been alone for weeks now on this trip even after the kiss.

So, they liked each other. That was pretty evident up to this point. So why'd he feel cemented to the couch. His throat was dry. "Uh, you're OK with us sharing a room, right?" He drawled.

"Why wouldn't I be?" She said nonchalantly, but she felt her cheeks growing hot and turned back to the cards. "Right." Was all he said. He turned his head to the side, ears swiveling. This place was dead quiet.

"So let's go relax there then. It's late. Bring the cards if you want." He said and made his way to their room.

She carried the cards tightly in her hands as if she might drop them even though she was walking slowly.

Inuyasha came out of the bathroom dressed in more comfortable clothes: just a white t-shirt and sweatpants. She left the cards on her mattress as it was her turn to change. At least there were two beds in the room. Kouga hadn't assumed they were a couple.

Were they a couple, though? She shook the thought from her mind as she quickly slipped on a comfortable shirt and pajama pants.

"What's the rate on this room, you think?" She suddenly asked. It didn't have much for decor. Her eyes scanned over the cheap looking coffee machine. "Heh. It better not be much." His voice lowered. She put her "dirty" clothes in a bag in her suitcase.

"Let's play." Inuyasha said as he picked up the cards. A blush crossed her cheeks. She turned to face him, parted her lips, and said,"teach me something." She walked towards him. "What do you want to learn?" His eyes fixed on hers. She stared, lost in the amber color. "Poker." She breathed as she sat across from him on his bed.

"Which kind?"

"There's kinds of Poker?"

"Quite a few, yeah."

"Just basic."

"Okay. You better not be hustling me."

"So, where did you learn to play?" She asked as he dealt the cards. "The military." He said under his breath. She only nodded in response.

She broke the momentary silence, "What are we betting?" She asked, keeping her eyes on her cards. "You're not ready to bet yet." He warned. "Winning's just another word for nothing left to lose." She quipped in a sing-song voice.

"Very funny."

"I got seashells we can use!" She chirped and got up to get them. She sprinkled the bag out in front of him. "Kagome! Now there's sand on my bed!" He complained. "Sorry." She said with a giggle. "Feh!" He glowered and tried to brush off the sheet.

After a few rounds, Kagome was winning a lot and Inuyasha was getting pissed off. "I'm bored," He announced. "What else you got in mind?" He scooped up the seashells into the bag. "Well, we could spice it up a bit." She suggested. Her heart was beating so fast, he could hear it.

"WecouldplaystripPokerifyouwant." She rambled quickly in a mumbling tone. He caught it with his demon hearing. He coughed and a deep shade of red colored even his tan cheeks. "You're on." He accepted with a smirk.

"It's no big deal, you've seen me in a bikini already." She said as she put down her losing hand. She grasped the hem of her yellow, fitted top. He stopped her, "That's not how this works." She cocked her head and raised an eyebrow, her cream-colored skin peeking from under her blouse.

"I tell you which clothing I want and I want your bra." He said, sitting back smugly. She smiled wryly at him. She reached back and unhooked it from under her top, slipped the straps off from the sleeves and pulled it by the cups from under her blouse and tossed it at him. "You're getting as bad as Miroku." She jabbed.

"I think he'd have done worse and you wouldn't play with him." He stated, shuffling and dealing the cards again, trying to distract himself from her bra lying across his lap. Should he touch it even just to move it aside?

He wanted to crack open a window for air, but didn't want to seem like a pervert trying to make her cold so her dark nipples would get more defined under the bright material she wore. She hunched over a little, bringing her long locks to the front to try to hide them. Her cheeks were rosy and she kept her eyes on the cards.

She lost again and now he had her pajama pants. He tied them like a bandana around his head. She laughed, "you look ridiculous! That doesn't count as wearing them." She yanked them off his head.

She beat him with two of a kind. "Just give me your shirt unless you want to put on my bra and give it back to me. You don't have as many options to take off." She complained. "This wasn't fair to begin with." He replied and reached back, pulling it off by the collar and tossing it at her.

She put it on and it covered her to her thighs. "That's cheating." He chided. "This game wasn't fair to begin with." She retorted. "I see how it is." He said and leaned forward to collect the cards, his dog tags clinking together.

He was out of the military, she didn't know how long, but why'd he still wear them? There was a purple bead and a small fang hanging on the ball-chain, too.

She absentmindedly leaned forward, knees on the mattress, she sat back on her legs, used one hand to hold herself up and with the other she reached for his chain. He made no move to stop her. She saw they were laser etched and tugged him closer so she could read them:

JAPAN GSDF

高橋 犬夜叉

8604992002

Type AB

"Ground Self-Defense Force," He clarified, guessing what her question would be. "and a special Unit no one talks about." She looked up and her nose brushed the tip of his. She peered into his honey depths.

"It must be so hard on you." Her balmy breath fanned across his face. His gaze shifted away from hers. He looked pained. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up bad memories." She said as she released the tags and cupped his cheek.

"But, you're giving me new memories. Good ones." He suddenly said as he placed his hand over hers, lacing their fingers together. She blushed at that. "Inuyasha…" she cooed. Her eyes searched his.

Then, he pressed his lips to hers. The kiss was delicate at first, then his hands slid up her arms, and pulled her closer to him, crushing his lips against hers. She wrapped her arms around him and he rocked forward to lean her back.

She parted her lips, taking what breaths she could, unable to stifle her moans and gasps. The cards were a mess under their movements, some sticking to their skin. He pulled her onto his lap with one arm and with the other he swiped everything off the mattress, the cards scattering noisily on the floor, neither of them caring. He tucked his hands under her thighs and flung her back onto the mattress, her legs falling open.

Just as swiftly, he was on top of her, laying between her legs. He encased her lips with his again, she did her best to keep up with his movements. Her heart was beating so fast, she was sure she would explode. His hands roamed her body over the remaining clothes she wore. She wound her hands in his hair, grasping his locks and tugging.

She wanted to touch the things that made him unique. Her fingertips found his ears and she gently massaged them. A rumble reverberated in his chest and she continued tweaking them to elicit that sound from him again and to feel his vibration against her.

He ground his hips against hers, allowing her to feel his hard length. Her loins grew hot at the sensation, the warmth spreading and coiling in her abdomen. She'd never felt quite like this before. Her hands ceased their movements as she relished in the tingles he was sending throughout her body.

"I-nuyasha," she interrupted."I need to shower."He admitted, "I like your scent." "Really?" She asked incredulously. Her cheeks got even rosier. "I'll wait if you want. You can go." He said as he leaned back to let her up. "If you say it's Okay then…." She let her voice trail off as she looked off to the side sheepishly. He half expected her to stop this whole thing.

"You can change your mind. If you want. I'll underst-" she cut him off by grabbing his face into a kiss. He pulling her close again.

He broke away from her lips and brought his hot mouth to her neck and collarbone, nipping and sucking, her skin turning blush from his ministrations. She sighed contentedly like this was all she ever wanted.

He scooped her in his arms, making her feel weightless and it sent her heart soaring. He sat back again, pulling her with him, having her straddle him. He swung his legs over the side of the bed. "Stand up." He whispered in her ear.

She stepped back lightly onto the wooden floor and stood before him. She hugged herself and lowered her head, so her bangs would cover her eyes. He cracked a smile at how shy she was.

"I wanted to see you." He wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer to stand between his legs. She looked up at him with a meek smile.

She rested her forehead on his.

He pulled off both shirts over her head and immediately placed his salivating mouth over her pert nipple. She tossed her head back and leaned into him, arching her body. She supported herself with her hands on his shoulders.

Her knees started to buckle under the pleasure radiating through her. His hands cupped and squeezed her curvy ass before sliding her panties down. With a jolt, she froze in place, but liked the feel of the cotton material caressing her ass and grazing aher thighs before they fell to her ankles.

He got down on his knees and kissed her abdomen, making his way down. "Come here, stand with your legs apart." She did as he said as he turned her so the bed behind her now. She supported herself with hands on his shoulders.

The tip of his tongue parted her nether-lips and delved inside. She gripped his head, fisting his silvery locks.

He leaned her back against the mattress so she could prop herself up comfortably. He grabbed one of her legs and placed it over his shoulder as he continued to suck her blooming bud.

He swirled around his tongue and licked unabashedly, she was moaning louder and could hardly hold herself up. Her cheeks were flushed, her breasts heaved. He could feel her pulsing rapidly as her juicing pussy sought to fill her space. He indulged her with his thrusting tongue and forefinger.

She came, waves of the release caused her to convulse slightly, her mouth falling open and calling out his name in a whisper. But, he didn't stop his onslaught. He held her tight against him, following the bucking of her hips and rhythm the orgasm caused her to move in.

She came again, a short burst, causing her to lose her breath and become lightheaded. She collapsed onto the mattress and he rolled his tongue over her clit to help her ride it out.

He teased her entrance with his finger tips, sliding the length of his index from front to back. There was still an ache deep inside her. Her vagina spasmed and her pelvic floor tightened.

She tucked her hands under his arms, motioning to pull him up. He complied, lying beside her on the bed. She wrapped a leg around his hip, she wrapped her arms around his torso, bringing him so that he could get on top of her.

She pulled at his pants and gripped his waist, grinding against him. She wanted him with a burning desire.

He finally pulled down his pants, not even getting a chance to look at what he had to offer, she grabbed his ass to get him inside her.

"K-Kagome," he groaned as he slid in slowly, her tight walls causing friction despite her slickness. His tip was in, but there was some resistance from her outer lips and her small opening. When she thought she had taken all of him, she realized there was more.

He inched his way in, delving deeper, and she mewled and bucked her hips to take more of him in and adjust to the feel of him invading her.

Her soft flesh conformed around him, her walls clamping. He pressed his forehead to hers aa he ground his hips, seating himself inside her as deep as he could go.

He moved back out, keeping his tip in and slid back inside. He repeated this motion until she got comfortable with the sensation.

He slid back in, pressing in more firmly now, grinding his hips against hers.

Her voice was getting higher as he pumped in and out of her.

Sweat dripped off of him and onto her. She reached up and pulled him down by his fore locks, locking her lips with his, tasting his sweat, licking, sucking and biting his full lips. She murmured his name, he growled hers back and she wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him closer and hold onto him for dear life as their bodies riddled and rocked with pleasure.

He loved the feel of her beneath him, her soft, warmth enveloping him. Watching her toss and turn her head to the side, gripping the sheets when it became so intense that she couldn't keep holding onto him, her back arching, her hips grinding, her whole body writhing as she begged for more.

But, she was getting too loud. "Ssh. Kagome, the others." He grabbed her underwear and had her bite on that. He continued to thrust up into her, pushing deeper and harder.

He pulled out and she whimpered at the loss of contact. He picked her up and quickly flipped her onto her stomach, she let out a yelp of excitement.

Bringing her onto her knees, he tucked a pillow in front of her, pulling her up gently by her hips while pushing on her back to prop her lower half up over the pillow and keep her torso on the mattress, for her comfort. He brushed her hair aside and lavished her neck with licks and kisses as he huskily repeated her name in her ear. He entered her glistening, pink core from behind with his throbbing cock.

He filled her again and thrust harder, faster and even deeper at this new angle. "I want you all night, Kagome," he said with labored breath. "But if you get tired or want me to stop, just say so." "Ah...ah..keep going, Inuyasha." She answered breathlessly.

He slowed his pace, leaning over her and kissing her backside, placing his arms over hers and took her hands in his, palms down over the back of her hands, feeling her knuckles dig into his palms as she clutched the sheets. He interlaced their fingers, her fingers squeezing his as he ground into her.

"I want you to-to finish with me." She said so low, only his demon hearing could catch it. She was breathless and attempting to look at him from over her shoulder. "That could take a while." He admitted.

"What do you want me to do for you?" She asked.

He suddenly felt self-conscious. He felt his cheeks grow hot and even though he was planted firmly inside her, he felt nervous. "J-just as you are." He mumbled.

She smiled in assurance as she tossed her head back and rolled her head, pushing herself up onto all fours so she could rest against the back of his chest.

He crossed his arms over her chest and thrust up into her from behind, achingly slow. But he let her body move, to learn what she wanted and her limits.

He sat back as she bounced on him. His gut tightened, balls clenched and the coil wound tighter inside him. He released just as the sun was rising.
