I am so sorry for the almost month wait! The last few weeks were very busy, my daughter got sick, then I got sick, then work got in the way, and before we know, a few weeks passed. BUT, I wrote an extra lengthy chapter for you all. I hope you all enjoy, don't forget to comment what you think.

I do not own Inuyasha or any of the supporting characters.

Chapter 6

When morning came, Kagome woke before Inuyasha. Slowly she disentangled herself from his hold. Getting into a sitting position, she looked at him. His face was so peaceful. Usually he is more alert, but with the injuries, plus the fatigue from the fight, he must still be very tired. She saw that his chest wound was sealed and almost healed, and his eye was no longer swollen. She could see his beautiful lashes fanned along his cheekbones.

Sighing, she quietly got up to get some food for him. She went outside to get some herbs and some meat that they had from the night before. Going back home she started making some soup for him. It wasn't the ramen he loved, but it was something to help him regain his strength. After about twenty minutes, she saw that the soup was ready and was about to turn to wake him, only to find him laying there watching her with his arms behind his head. He looked the epitome of relaxation.

"I could get used to this, waking up and seeing you," he said with a small smirk.

Smiling shyly, she started serving him some soup as she said, "Good morning, how are you feeling?"

"Better," he said huskily as he eyed her from top to bottom.

Ignoring his meaning, "good, here eat this. It will help you regain your strength and help with the soreness."

When he grabbed the bowl from her, their fingers brushed and it was like a jolt passed through her. She had touched him innocently countless times, but for some reason now it felt different. There was a new level of intimacy between them that took them to a whole new level. If this was how it was like after a heavy makeout session, she could only imagine how it would be later when they took things further. The thought alone made her aroused and her cheeks heated. She saw the bowl stop midair as he was bringing it up to his lips. He sniffed and a soft growl came from him. Quickly she moved to make herself busy, but he was behind her in seconds.

His nose was in her hair and his arms wrapped around her waist from behind. "Tell me Kagome, what were you thinking about that got you so…aroused? Your smell spiked and is completely intoxicating," he said as his mouth softly caressed along her neck. His voice was so husky as his hands softly caressed her stomach, his right hand slowly making its way up to her breast, while his left hand started making its way lower. She leaned her head back to his shoulder, softly moaning, "Inuyasha."

"Tell me what you want Kagome," he murmured as his lips gave hot kisses on her exposed neck. His left hand was slowly but purposefully caressing her core above her clothes. She moaned, turning her head, she looked him in the eye and said, "I want you, Inuyasha," then captured his mouth in a kiss. Her right hand came around his neck to hold him to her. As he continued to caress her, he moved his hips along her back, she could feel how hard he was and that alone turned her on even more. She separated her mouth from his for a second so she could turn, seeing what she was doing he immediately wrapped his arms around her and kissed her with even more passion than before. The only thing that could be heard in the room was their heavy breathing, moans, and kisses.

With a soft growl he lifted her and she wrapped her legs around his waist as she continued to kiss him. He put her against the wall and moved his lips down her cheek and to her neck. "I can't wait to mark you here Kagome," he said with a voice filled with longing and passion.

Holding his head to her neck, she moaned, "Mmmm yes, one day you will, for now, just this, let me feel you."

Frowning, he pulled back a bit and stared at her, "Why not now? I know you want me, the sex is only one part of the mating, the bite is the second part."

"I don't mind this, but can we wait for the bite? I don't want to finish the process while Kikyo is still around. She still has part of my soul, and when we complete the mating, I want you to have my soul completely, not just a portion."

His face relaxed a bit, "I don't deserve you, you are constantly thinking of everyone and everything. And, though it's killing me to not mark you so that everyone knows you're mine, I understand. And you're right, I wouldn't want just a part of your soul, I want it all, just as I want to give my soul completely to you. I'm yours Kagome. Completely. Forever."

Feeling her eyes start to water, she pulls him back to her for another kiss. The kiss was passionate, but didn't have the urgency of before, it was filled with all the love she felt for him. The feelings she was invoking in him were enough to bring him to his knees. Carefully he walked them back to her bed and laying on top of her, he was able to roam his hands around her body as he moved his hips against her. The scent of her arousal was driving him wild. He could feel his demon inside wanting to come out and claim her completely, but he kept it at bay. He had to respect Kagome's wishes, she had made so many accommodations for him, and had been there for him, regardless of how he treated her. He could hold himself back from biting, for now at least. But he would give her his all right now physically. He would give her his heart, body, and soon their souls would fuse. At least this way, his scent would be all over her, there would be no denying who she belongs to.

His thoughts were pulled back to the present with a moan when he felt her caressing his ears. With a growl, he pulled himself up to his knees and looked down at his woman. Both his hands went from her hips, up her stomach, cupped her breasts, and came back down, only to grab her tank top and pull it off her head. He would have torn it, but he knew she only had so many items from the future, he would hate to ruin those few mementos for her. She unclasped her bra for him and took it off, allowing him to see her breasts completely. He had seen them before by accident and would close his eyes, turn, or be sat by her, but this time, she gave them to him, so he looked his fill. She was beautiful. And she was all his.

"Mine," he growled as he moved down to kiss along her breasts, staying away from the nipples, simply giving open mouthed kisses. She was breathing hard, and the moment he took her nipple in his mouth, she cried out in ecstasy, throwing her head back.

"Shhhh," he murmured, "everyone outside is going about their day. We don't want any interruptions, do we?"

Looking at him with a lust filled face, she shook her head. "Good girl, let's see how quiet you can stay," he said as he went back to her nipple. She moaned softly, biting her lip. Smiling around her skin, he moved his claws along her stomach, making her shiver. Slowly, he slid his hand within her pants and found her wet core. Growling, he felt his eyes roll back as he continued to kiss along her breasts while his hand continued to explore her wetness. When his finger caressed her clit, her back arched back and she gave a loud moan. He moved his finger along her clit, caressing it in circles as his tongue did similar movements on her nipple. She started breathing faster, her body moving along with his hand, as she kept her hands on his head, holding him to her. As he felt she was about to cum, he quickly took her moans and cries of passion into his mouth. He kissed her passionately as her body continued to shake with the aftermath of her orgasm.

As she continued to shake softly, he removed the rest of his clothes and was back on top of her kissing her passionately. As he kissed her, she raked her nails down his back as her legs went around his waist. She could feel him, hard, and resting so close to her core. It would take just a small move and he would be inside her. She craved him to be inside already. Moving her hips along him, he softly growled as his eyes rolled back. He could feel how wet she was, and it was driving him crazy.

"Are you ready?" He asked her, looking deep into her eyes, his elbows and forearms resting on both sides of her head. Smiling, she kissed him softly, and said, "make me yours Inuyasha."

With a moan of submission, he kissed her as he reached down with his right hand to place himself at her entrance. Slowly, he started to enter her. He hadn't even made it past the head, and already he could feel how tight she was, he was afraid he would lose it before fully taking her. Taking a deep breath, he continued to push into her until he felt her virginity. Pulling back his hips, he stopped kissing her to look into her eyes as he pushed in with a thrust that took him all the way. Seeing her face, her eyes rolled back and close as her head rolled as well. He stayed put, allowing her to get used to his size. She was so tight, so wet, and so his. "Are you okay, Kagome?" he asked, the strain in his voice gave away how much he wanted to move.

Opening her eyes, she smiled and nodded, feeling herself clench him tighter. He rolled his eyes and began to move at a steady pace. With each thrust, both their breaths mingled together, their lips touching every few thrusts, wanting to be touching everywhere. Kagome's arms were around his back, and as she felt that build up again. Her legs around his waist went down to the bed to help her thrust upward, meeting his thrust with more force. Growling he moved his left arm down to hook it under her thigh, allowing him to go deeper. Both their moans were getting louder, forgetting about the world around them.

He knew they were both close, and he looked longingly at her neck, but knew he had to hold back from biting her. So with extra force, he thrust into her, and with his right hand, started playing with her clit. She cried out in ecstasy, throwing her head back as her orgasm started, it was so intense, she was sure she would pass out from the sheer pleasure. As her body squeezed him, he roared out as he reached his own release. As they both were in the midst of their orgasm, suddenly there were two different auras around them, both their powers were fusing, and mating.

They were both breathing hard as they lay there, still connected, simply looking at each other in the afterglow of their mating. Kissing her softly, he said, "the first step of the mating is done. Our bodies are fused forever, now we just need to fuse our souls with the bite."

Smiling, she pulled him down for a kiss. There was nothing she could say to that. She wanted to say that soon they would complete the mating, but doing so would mean that Kikyo would be gone. She knew he loved Kikyo, and saying that would be insensitive. So she allowed her mouth on his to communicate the love she felt for him, and the longing for that completion.

Pulling back, his ears perked up. "Dammit, the old hag is coming. I can hear her old steps heading this way."

Looking around from under him, she saw their clothes thrown all around her hut. "Crap, get up, let's get dressed, I don't need her seeing us both naked."

Picking up an eyebrow, "the door is locked, I'm sure she'll get the hint."

Smacking his shoulder, she said, "No, she is probably coming to check how you are doing."

Smiling mischievously, he moved his hips, he was still inside her which made her moan, "I'd say I'm doing a lot better. You were exactly what I needed to heal."

Giving him one last searing kiss, she began to push him off. Allowing her to do so, he pulled out and stared at her as she got dressed quickly. Putting on his pants, he stayed with his upper half exposed, that way Kaede could see he was mostly healed and would leave so he could continue with his woman. Smiling, he liked the thought of that. Kagome was his, her body was his, and next up, their souls would belong to each other and they would be together forever. Thinking about it, he realized he needed to get things resolved with Kikyo sooner rather than later. Now that they had mated their bodies, his inner demon was craving the full completion of the mating process. He wanted Kagome to be completely theirs. While their mating was only through the body, there was still the possibility of it being reversed if someone else chose to mate her completely. He wasn't about to tell her that though. He didn't need her changing her mind. He wouldn't let her out of his sight, not until they completed the mating. Taking a sniff in the air, he smiled proudly.

"What are you smiling at?" she asked as she placed her hair in a ponytail.

"Nothing, just looking at you," he said, but was mostly happy because she smelled of sex, and most of all, him. There was no denying that she was his.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Kaede's knock, "Kagome, child, are ye here?"

"No!" he called out as Kagome gave him a stern face, but opened the door for her.

"Good morning Kaede, we're here, how are you this morning? Inuyasha is doing a lot better, his wounds are mostly healed. He is even eating some broth I made him," she gestured towards the forgotten bowl. Opening her eyes wide to it, she noticed her underwear was right by it.

Kaede saw it, while Inuyasha simply smirked. "Ay, that is good child. Well, I'll let ye be, you certainly have things taken care of here." Making her exit, Kagome's face was completely red as she closed and locked the door.

"Do you think she noticed?" she asked as she placed her hands on her still red cheeks.

"I know the old hag has only one eye, but even she isn't blind to what happened here. Why do you think she left so fast? Plus, even if your underwear wasn't there like a flag, her nose still works pretty good, the place smells of sex," he finished with a proud smirk, similar to the one he had on earlier.

Recognizing his expression, her face went into a frown, and he immediately gulped, fearing he would be sat here. He hoped she wouldn't because she would definitely break her bed. Staring at her with wide eyes, he saw her walk towards him with that threat in her face. He was sitting on the edge of her bed, and as she stood before him with her hands on her hips, she called out, "Inuyasha!-"

Closing his eyes, he waited for the pain, but felt nothing. As he opened his eyes slowly, he felt his eyes open wide and the impact of what was in front of him was just as strong as if he would have been sat. Before him stood Kagome, completely naked. How the hell did he not hear her take off her clothes. Granted, there weren't many layers to what she was wearing, thanks to their earlier activities, but still. Either way, he couldn't help looking at her from top to bottom, every inch of her was his. Earlier he hadn't been able to admire her full beauty, but now he could. He was immediately hard just looking at her. "Kagome" he said, his voice sounding choked with lust. As he reached for her, she swatted his hand away.

"Oh no you dont, you were a bad dog" she said with a chastising tone.

"Hey! I'm not a do- oh shit" his words were cut off as she knelt before him. Just looking down at her, seeing her kneeling between his legs was making him throb to the point of pain. This was every fantasy he ever had, and now it was happening. He wasn't dreaming.

She placed her hands on his shoulders and lightly brought them down his torso, using her nails softly along his chest, abs, and all the way down to his waist to grip the edge of his pants. The trail her nails made still tingled and made his eyes roll back with the sensation. Feeling her pull on his pants, he lifted his hips to allow her to pull them off. His body followed her command, no words necessary, he was hers to do as she wished.

Running her hands up and down his thighs, she looked down at how hard he was for her, how it twitched as her hands got closer but didn't touch. Looking up to his passion filled face, she leaned forward to kiss him. His hands came up to hold her head along her hair, kissing her with all the love and passion he felt for her. Reaching up, she pulled his hands away and without warning, leaned down to give an open kiss on the wet head of his penis. "Oh my fucking shit, Kagome!" He groaned as he rolled his eyes back, the pleasure all too much. He hadn't expected this, he thought she would touch him with her hands, but nothing prepared him for the warmth of her mouth.

She continued giving him kisses along his length, getting familiarized with every inch of him. She cupped his sack and after kissing them, she licked her way up to the tip, then took him in her mouth. She could hear his heavy breathing and soft growls. He couldn't contain it anymore, he needed to touch her. Placing one hand on her head, he caressed her hair as her head bobbed up and down on him, while one of her hands caressed his balls and the other stroked him in time with her mouth. His other hand reached down to play with her breast, as much as he was able to reach from his angle. Feeling that he was getting too close to finishing, he reached down and grabbed her under her arms and pulled her up to sit on his lap. Her legs went around his waist as he kissed her hard. Placing a hand on her back and the other at her hips, he turned them until he had her flat on her back. Kissing his way down her neck, he told her, "my turn."

He kissed down her chest and took her nipple into his mouth as he gently sucked. Her back arched as he drove her crazy with the sensation of his mouth on her nipple. Once it was nice and firm, he moved to the other one. Happy with his work, he continued to move down her torso. He gave open mouthed kisses, and let his fangs gently caress her, causing her to shiver in response. The closer he got to her core, he could smell her arousal and it was driving him crazy, his mouth watered just thinking about tasting her. As he arrived at his destination, Kagome looked down at him, her breath labored as she bit her lip.

"You smell delicious Kagome," he said as he brought his nose close enough to her soft curls.

"Oh, Inuyasha, please," she moaned. Feeling his breath along her was driving her crazy. She was trembling with anticipation and lust.

"Who do you belong to Kagome?"

"You," she whispered.

He kissed her inner thigh, "I didn't hear you. Who do you belong to?"

"You, Inuyasha!"

"Damn right you do," he growled as he delved in and let his tongue run along her inner lips, going from her wet opening all the way up to her clit. Feeling his tongue touch her sensitive clit, her thighs tried to close around his head and her back arched. Placing his hands along the inside of her thighs, he continued to run his tongue up and down, ending on her clit each time, causing her to jolt with pleasure each time. Her hands came down to caress his ears, being careful to not pull on them with the pleasure he was causing.

She was moaning, loving the feelings he was evoking in her. He brought one of his fingers to her entrance and inserted his finger as far as it would go, making a beckoning motion, touching her in a sensitive place inside. Her hips started to move to match his pace, he looked at her and how he was making her lose control. He inserted a second finger and continued to hit that sweet spot for her. As she was getting closer to losing it completely, he went straight for her clit and started sucking as his tongue flicked it.

"Inuyasha!" she screamed as her body went into hyper sensitivity and orgasmed. Feeling her orgasm, and feeling her squeezing his fingers as her muscles tightened around his fingers, he continued to lick and suck her clit as he started to growl, causing her to convulse more with the added vibrations, the sensations becoming too much. She felt like her body was having more than one orgasm, either that or it was a never ending one. When it became too much, she started to push his head away, but he simply slowed his sucking and started licking at her, drinking in the evidence of her orgasm.

"You are completely mine Kagome," he said possessively as he looked at her from between her legs. He made his way up her body, giving open mouthed kisses. "Every pleasure your body feels" he gave another kiss on her chest, "is mine." When he reached her face, he kissed her softly, taking in her face that was filled with passion. "No one else, just mine" he ended his claim by entering her in one stroke.

"Ahhhhhh," she moaned as her head went back with the pleasure and sudden fullness she felt.

"You're mine too Inuyasha" she said as her arms came around his back and she moved her hips, leading him to move his hips back and push back in hard. "Just yours, Kagome." Thrust. "No one else." Thrust. "And once I complete the mating," Thrust. "Everyone will know," thrust, "that you belong" thrust, "to me."

"Oh yes! Inuyasha, I only belong to you." Kissing him hard, their mouths kissed in desperation and with the possessiveness they felt towards each other. "Please Inuyasha, harder," she begged.

"Whatever you want, mate," he growled as he let loose and pounded into her with a force strong enough to cause her pleasure but not hurt her. He sped up his thrust, as he felt her nails scratch down his back. He leaned up and reached for her legs, he brought them up to lean against her chest, making her feel him deeper than before.

"Ohhhhhh! Oh god Inuyasha! Oh yes, don't stop!" He could feel her tighten around him, which was making him close to cumming. He was so close, but he had to get her to orgasm first. He reached down with his hand and touched her clit with his thumb, and that was all she needed. "INUYASHA!" she screamed out his name as her eyes rolled back and he felt her tighten so hard it made him tip over the edge and had him cum hard inside her, "Kagome!" he groaned loud as spurt after spurt filled her.

He let her legs go and collapsed on top of her, but letting his weight be mostly on his forearms. They were both slick with sweat and breathing heavily. Her arms were around his shoulders, holding him to her. They were still intimately connected, but still it felt like they were not close enough. She said as much as they continued to lie there.

"It's the mating, our bodies are fused together, but still our souls are calling to each other, wanting to finish the process. The feeling will always remain, but it won't be as strong once I bite you. At that point our souls will always be linked and we will feel each other, even if we are not touching. Until then, we will feel this need to be together."

She kissed him softly. "Can I ask you something?"

"Anything," he said as he softly kissed her cheek and caressed her hair out of her face.

"The mating, umm, I know our first time together was our first time in general being intimate with anyone, but what would have happened if you had been intimate with someone else before, would that have resulted as being mated to that person?" She didn't want to think that Kikyo could have been mated to him had she gotten to him first when she was alive.

"No, demons can be intimate with anyone they want and not mate with the person. The demon will know when they find their mate, they feel this pull to them and they can't fight it. Their souls are already destined to be mated, it's just a matter of finding them and completing the process. That's why I was so drawn to you when I met you, I just didn't realize that my demon was calling to you. I was so damn blind with everything." He rolled them so that Kagome could rest her head on his chest as he held her to him. Their legs intertwined together, simply laying there together.

She nodded softly, "Is it possible for a demon to be destined to be mated with someone, but love another? Or love someone but be mated with another?"

Sighing he said softly, "yeah, there have been those that have ignored the fact that they found their mate. The need to be with them eventually starts fading but never really goes away. But they choose love over the call of their soul. But not everyone does that, it's rare, I think it would be more common for someone to be mated and love someone else. They give their body and soul, but their heart will always belong to someone else."

Hearing him, she wondered if that was the case with him, was he choosing to be mated to her, but his heart would always belong to Kikyo? Frowning, she chose to ignore the question her mind kept wanting to know. For now, even if she wanted to selflessly give him the option to be with Kikyo, he would never be able to mate with her, and as it was, she was trying to find a way to rest in peace. She would have to let those thoughts go and simply be happy that she and Inuyasha had started the mating process, maybe one day he would give his heart to her as well. She heard the soft breathing and realized he had fallen asleep while she had been deep in thought. Smiling, she snuggled closer to him and allowed herself to embrace the moment and love him enough for the both of them.
