I'm baaaack. I won't make excuses for my absence, and I ask that you all forgive me for how long it's been since I have updated. Once again I can't thank you all enough for your encouraging posts! Believe me they keep me going and motivated! Now at long last, here is the long overdue CHAPTER ELEVEN!

Demon Nature
Chapter Eleven

Kagome was overwhelmed. The potency of the strange energy she kept receiving from InuYasha was slowly starting to escalate. His mark on her continued to strengthen in its intensity practically burning, calling out in urgency. The hollow emptiness she felt inside, resulting from that urgent call not being met, caused her heartache and brought her to the brink of tears.
And to top it off she was just informed that the reiki powers she possessed, abilities that until two weeks ago she didn’t even know she had, were the only source that could tame the darkness that resided in the Shikon no Tama.
The world faded around her as she realized now how naïve she had been. Not comprehending what a threat that jewel truly was, Kagome had just blindly trusted in InuYasha’s strength. In her mind he could do anything with his abilities. She had witnessed on more than one occasion how physically strong he was; anytime a rouge youkai came seeking the power of the Sacred Jewel he had quickly dispensed of them, and that was that. She never questioned it, and it only resolved her unyielding faith in him
It didn’t matter that InuYasha had told her of the capabilities of the jewel; that her own knowledge of it from her grandpa rang true. It didn’t matter that she knew that it was formed with nothing but raw auras; containing both “good” and “evil” inside it. That she knew that the demons who all came for it were answering to its’ dark pull. It didn’t matter, because InuYasha was strong.
He could over-power it, control it… until suddenly he couldn’t. Suddenly… that was a false assertion, because it hadn’t been sudden. It had been gradually eating away at him in front of her over the course of these past two weeks. She had unknowingly watched as bit by bit the darkness had spread in his heart, steadily manipulating his actions, subtly altering his thinking.
She knew… but yet she hadn’t really known had she?
Kagome didn’t know anything about how youkai behaved, what was considered normal behavior and what was abnormal. She hadn’t grown up in this era. No, where she was from this was all a fairytale. The only knowledge she had was from InuYasha himself. He had told her that with his demon half more in control he would be more primal, which could be viewed as darker behavior in the eyes of humans. Thus, they had both falsely assumed it was only his demon nature guiding his actions.
Him possessing the jewel had never seemed like an issue. It was viewed as an enhancer or an aid. Allowing him to tap into his full potential like a feudal era equivalent energy drink. Not once did she view it as the gem possessing him. Until last night. When she witnessed InuYasha lose himself to the darkness within it.
Her savior couldn’t even contain it, with all his strength and now they expected her to?
Brought back into the here and now by the sound of tempers rising and the feel of InuYasha’s increasing irritation through their bond, Kagome realized that she had only been vaguely aware that the conversation had went on without her. The voices of the small group had been a dull hum as she had closed in onto herself, but now as she tuned into what exactly was being said her anxiety spiked and her temper flared.
“She needs to come with us for proper training! You heard what Kaede said! Without proper training the jewels influence could overcome even her power! She needs to know how to control it!”
“And I said Fuck.Off! There’s no way I’m handing her over to the likes of you. You can’t even protect your own mate! You think I’m going to trust you with mine?!”
“YOU’RE not welcome in the village! SHE needs training! You’ve done well at protecting her up until now, but now you need to do the intelligent thing and send her with us for her own safety!”
InuYasha had a venomous retort on the tip of his tongue no doubt when Kagome interrupted his and the Taijiya’s verbal battle. Unsure on how exactly the conversation got to this heated point but certain she did not like its direction, her tone was soft but strong.
“NO. I won’t go anywhere without InuYasha.”
“BUT - !”
As the slayer tried to shift her arguments to her, Kagome’s tone grew a lot less soft and a lot more serious. Her spiked temper finally showing through, leaving no room for argument as it and her fear from being separated from InuYasha took over.
“I WON’T LEAVE HIM.”
Quiet settled back over the group as they each digested the situation. With the silence clogging her ears, Kagome began to feel embarrassed over her outburst. Putting more pressure on her already overwhelming array of emotions. Turning her watery eyes to find InuYasha’s amber gaze, she could both see and feel his concern for her. Swallowing the thick lump in her throat, she softly beseeched him.
“I want to go home.”
A gentle smile touched Kagome’s lips when at her request InuYasha’s face grew stern and his eyes filled with understanding and determination. Giving her a short nod of agreeance, he immediately stood lifting her along with him. Casting a heated glare at the Taijiya, he spoke factually and in a manner that meant the conversation was finished.
“We’re done here.”
InuYasha’s demon was screaming. The initial relief from handing over the Sacred Jewel to his mate had long passed and the volume that had been turned down on his youkai instincts to reinstate his mating mark was intensifying, reaching dangerous levels. The damn Taijiya hadn’t helped any with her insistence on fucking taking his mate from him. In fact, that was when he had felt the urgency rising, causing his already sore and pulsing fangs to ache to the point he was ready to pull the damned things. It didn’t help either that he could feel Kagome’s distress with her own emotions going all over the place.
Nor did it help that he knew what the old hag had said was right. Even though it had been her suggestion that had started the argument between him and the slayer bitch, her words were nevertheless true. Kagome did need training, and she needed to start immediately. She was a pure source of untamed energy; which could be very dangerous to those around her… or even herself. And didn’t that just scare the shit out of him.
Males were meant to protect their mates, well good ones did anyway. He absolutely could not stand there being anything that he couldn’t protect her from. Damn the risks he himself was at due to her untrained abilities, he only wanted her safe. He would have taken on the burden of the jewel for the rest of their days to make sure of that, except… he’d already proven to be too fucking weak to control it. It would do no good to “protect” her from the jewel if she only came to harm by the damn thing anyway by extension of him; and that had already been proven to be within the realm of possibilities. He was just thankful it hadn’t been worse… So, training her was the smartest course of action to take.
He knew this; but the Taijiya and anyone else included who thought they were going to take her away from him could go fuck themselves.
Ignoring the incensed protests of the slayer, InuYasha gathered Kagome in his arms; making good on his word that they were indeed done with this conversation and leaving. He smiled internally as he felt his priestess snuggle herself closer into him, allowing some calm to settle over the war raging on inside him. Prepared to take their leave, the old woman’s voice brought him to a halt before he could escape to very much needed alone time with his mate.
“I will speak with the villagers, InuYasha. This is of the utmost importance and with my insistence, I am sure they will come to understand. Bring the girl to me, ALONG with yourself. I would not dream of separating the two of you.”
Golden eyes flicked over to catch Kaede’s one good eye. Briefly he remembered back to when she had lost her other eye. How he had felt bad for the kid during her painful recovery. A recovery he had been a part of, having helped changed her bandages more than once and sitting by her bedside during the times when her sister had had to go collect more herbs for her. After that the brat was always close on his heels, wanting to take part in whatever her “nii-chan” was doing.
Looking at her now it was hard to believe she was the child that he had once been fond of, though never admitted to. Instead there was an old woman staring back at him, serving as a living reminder of the time that had passed. Yet, he couldn’t deny that he still felt a bond with her; so, if Kaede said she wouldn’t separate him and Kagome, then he believed her. But first, he and his mate desperately needed some time to… discuss things.
Without saying a word, InuYasha broke eye contact with the old woman and quickly took his leave.

---

Kaede smiled as the sounds of the forest took over the quiet at InuYasha’s departure. Although, he took with him the young lass, held tightly in his protective embrace, and the Sacred Jewel; she did not fret. The two of them had done well at guarding the gem thus far and she had no doubts that she would be seeing them both again real soon. Besides, she had the answers that had been plaguing her mind for weeks now. The girl was in fact NOT a dark miko and was safe. The Shikon no Tama was in competent hands. And although she had not been aware of how heavy her third worry had been weighing on her; it was put to rest as well.
InuYasha was not a mindless monster. In fact, he was almost as he had been 50 years ago. Almost. The difference, Kaede supposed, came from the fact that she had never observed his transformation brought on by his demon blood… but more importantly, she had never seen him in love. She thought she had long ago, but not once had she witnessed InuYasha looking at her sister the way he did Kagome, or tending to her in such a way…
Hearing muffled curses from the young brunette lass, Kaede looked over to find her carefully nurturing her husband’s throat with anger and confusion clearly evident upon her brow. A small amount of guilt afflicted Kaede, for she had not intended to cause an argument between the woman and half-demon at her earlier statement. She had just been merely stating the fact that she and InuYasha both knew to be true out loud.
Grimacing as her old bones groaned in protest at standing, Kaede wearily shuffled over to couple.
“Let us get him back to my hut so that I may properly attend to those wounds.”
As her words reached the slayer and the monk, she was greeted with two very different responses. The monk, still unable to speak without pain due to his windpipe being crushed, graced her with his appreciative violet gaze and warm thankful smile. There was no arguing that he was a handsome young man, no doubt about it.
The slayer, however, clenched her fist as she shook with emotion. The lass’s stare never left her companion as Kaede could tell she was searching for words and trying hard to hold back her anger. And even though her irritation towards Kaede was evident, clearly this was a young lady whom been raised to show respect towards one’s elders. When the girl finally found her words, her voice was uncertain and a little shaken.
“Why did you let him leave? With both the girl and the Sacred Jewel no less. What was the point in us coming here, in all of… THIS… if you just let the demon we were summonsed about walk away with the woman and jewel we were meant to retrieve from him?”
Kaede smiled sympathetically down at the young woman, remorse digging down deeper into her; her heart went out to the slayer and to the monk as well. Today had not gone as anyone had planned for it to, she would safely presume. She could only guess at what InuYasha and Kagome’s plans had been. As for her own, well, she had truthfully not started this day with any set prediction. For Sango and Miroku, she gathered they envisioned a successfully slain demon, a rescued maiden and a liberated Shikon Jewel. Yet that was not what the fates had given them.
And to have come as near to losing a loved one and a life as they both had… she could understand the Taijiya’s plight.
“Sango, I apologize for the confusion leading into this. I fear the blame rests on my shoulders for not having explained myself well enough. Truthfully, I did not know what to expect coming out here. Though, I wanted to proceed with caution. So, I enlisted the help of a demon slayer, should it come to the worst, and the help of a monk to assist with the Sacred Jewel…”
Watching as the slayer continued to dote on her husband, Kaede’s smile grew warm at the love evident between the two.
“My concern for the girl’s safety was and still is genuine, just as my worry over the reappearance of the jewel. As for InuYasha… I admit I did not know what to expect. Having not witnessed the events of that night with my own eyes, I had only the information of others to rely on. What’s important now is what we undoubtedly know with our own eyes.”
At this the Taijiya finally cast her curious chocolate eyes up towards Kaede, waiting for her to elaborate.
“The young lass is not a dark priestess, as many had feared, and is safe and relatively unharmed. Any harm that befell her was caused by the careless actions of human men, not the half-demon. We can confirm that the Shikon no Tama has indeed found its way back into this world. And… as for InuYasha, he is of no threat.”
Unable to hide her relief at that last part, Kaede watched contemplatively as Sango appeared to retreat into her thoughts. Apparently silently agreeing with Kaede’s earlier decision to return to the village, the slayer slowly started to gather the monk up to help get him to his feet. Immediately their little two tailed companion transformed into a large fearsome feline and hunkered down to further assist him; allowing him to straddle her to be carried back.
Once Miroku was laying securely on the neko youkai’s back, his hand gently moved to stroke the feline’s cream-colored fur at her neck in thanks. After making sure her husband had his balance and would not fall, the Taijiya rushed to collect her forgotten weapons and his staff. Securing her blade in its sheath at her hip, she then used the ties for her hiraikotsu to carry both the boomerang bone and the staff across her back. Kaede couldn’t help but to marvel at the strength of the girl as she effortlessly carried the load, and once the slayer had made her way back to the monk’s side, they all started their trek back to Kaede’s home.
After traveling for a few moments in silence, Sango finally spoke; her voice plainly much calmer expressing her somewhat eased state of mind.
“I’m glad that she is safe… and that… that InuYasha has taken care of her.”
Shuffling alongside Sango at the best steady pace her old bones could muster, Kaede could see the melancholy that settled over the slayer’s features as she continued to speak.
“But Lady Kaede… if her powers continue to be untrained… and with the jewel in the picture… she… they both are still in danger.”
Kaede smiled knowingly at the girl, happy to see that she was truly trying to overcome her first encounter with InuYasha. She knew how difficult he could be; how rough around the edges he was, but he was not bad. Remembering how her sister had once referred to his hard edges as a facade, Kaede couldn’t agree more with that statement. From past experience, she knew he was a lot of bark; and though his words sometimes dug in as if he had actually bitten you… InuYasha did not unjustly cause harm. He was a protector at heart. And because of that she was steady in her conviction that he would do whatever was in the best interests of that girl.
“Ye should not fret child. InuYasha and Kagome will come, for this I am certain.”
Sango could only stare at the old priestess with speculation. She could see no apparent reason for the faith Lady Kaede seemed to have placed in her statement. Never breaking her aid in keeping Miroku balanced on Kirara, her hands stayed firmly placed on his back and shoulder as she turned her body just slightly enough to address the miko more properly.
“How can you be so sure? He didn’t answer you, or say anything for that matter, before he left.”
The old priestess chuckled at her, causing her to furrow her delicate brow even more puzzled. Though Kaede’s next simple statement, filled with noticeable humor, did help to start un-muddling the murky waters the slayer found her mind in.
“InuYasha is a complicated fellow.”
Obviously, the old miko knew the demon InuYasha more personally then their earlier conversation had allowed them to see into. And as Sango watched the old woman’s good eye cloud over in fondness and the knowing smile continue to rest on her aged face, she yielded to the judgement of those more mature and wiser than herself.
Turning her attention back to her monk, a smile immediately relaxed her features as she was greeted with his handsome one being directed at her. Sango could not even begin to thank the Kami enough that her stupid letch was alive. She honestly wasn’t sure what she would have done without him. In all her life she had never wanted to become one of those women; whose lives revolved around and were so dedicated to their men that they were nothing if they lost him.
Her father had raised her to be an independent, strong warrior who could take care of herself… Then she went and fell in love and her life wasn’t her own anymore. But she decided that that wasn’t the negative thing she initially thought it to be. She and Miroku made each other better, completed the other; and she believed that her husband shared in her certitude that they both lived for the other.
So, while it was easy to direct all her anger on InuYasha for hurting her man, she was trying hard to overcome her irrationality. Even though by now she knew that his actions had not been done out of intentional malice, her protective drive for her husband was fierce. Therefore, she guessed she understood InuYasha’s actions, and supposed she couldn’t fault him too harshly when he in turn had only been protecting his…
Abruptly, Sango’s steady stride came to a halt and all eyes turned inquisitively to her as a significant realization dawned on her. She was slightly ashamed of herself as a Taijiya for having overlooked a detail as important as this one.
“Lady Kaede?”
Her voice betrayed her apprehension, and she tried to mask the unease she felt as she waited for the priestess to acknowledge her. This detail could prove to be a very bad thing after-all, or… well honestly, she wasn’t quite sure.
“Aye?”
While the old miko’s disposition had become concerned over the way the slayer was acting, nonetheless her countenance held a since of calm to it that was encouraging Sango to ask her question. Sango decided in that moment that instead of allowing her anxiety to overwhelm her, she would observe how Lady Kaede reacted to the news; and use the priestess’s judgement to guide her own reactions to this information.
“Did he call her his mate?”
Immediately, Sango determined that she was the last to realize this information as both Miroku and Kaede smiled broadly and shared a knowing look. Even Kirara seemed to convey a telling expression. How her husband could be amused in his state, she didn’t know, but she didn’t question either of them as Kaede’s mirthful response filled the area.
“Oooh aye.”

---

He wasn’t going to make it. Fuck, he wasn’t going to get them home before he broke. Damnit! He didn’t want to do this to her again. He was supposed to be stronger than this, for fuck’s sake! If he was going to break then the very least he could do was do it in the dignity of their own bed! He didn’t want to take her like an animal on the forest floor! Like he fucking.did.before! DAMNIT!!
Clutching his precious cargo closer to him, InuYasha had made it about half way to the cave him and his priestess called home before he came to a skidding halt. He was panting for breath, though it wasn’t from any exertion running had done to him, but from the chaos his own body was in. The need to reinstate his mark had intensified tenfold the moment he had left the clearing with his mate. With the possible threats gone and placing himself and Kagome in the forest alone, his demon had only one sole focus.
His fangs were so large now that he couldn’t close his mouth properly and he could feel his own fucking pulse in them as they throbbed to the beat of his heart. Just as he could hear his own fucking heart beat in his burning ears. Hell, every inch of him burned; his blood was on fucking fire.
His youkai roared.
He’d waited too long; his mark was too fresh, too new… Fuck he should never have taken her out with it like this! Now, because he had, another fucking male had touched his mark. Which was basically an exposed nerve at this point!
Cursing his weakness, he released his mate’s sinful slender legs so she could stand and as her confusion reached him through their bond, he felt ashamed for what his demon nature was pushing him to do. Barely giving her time to find her footing, he had her pinned to the closest tree in a matter of seconds. His body flush against hers; his left hand was digging into the bark of the tree above her head, his right, clutching the fabric of his haori at her left shoulder.
Vaguely he noted his hands were trembling. In fact, his whole body was shaking with the effort restraining himself was taking. Squeezing his eyes shut, InuYasha hung his head in an effort to hide his face from his mate. He could only imagine what he looked like at the moment and he was ashamed he didn’t have a better handle on his demon half.
His body stiffened as his mate’s distress and anxiety assaulted him through their bond, making him feel even worse than he already did. He felt like a lowlife, lower even still because evidently her torment did nothing, meant nothing to his youkai side. The persistent need to remark her never subsided; forcing his body into action. His right hand was already pulling at his haori, tugging the rough crimson material away from her soft flushed skin. His greedy eyes slit open to watch as he exposed his mark, enflamed and tortuously calling out to him.
Desperately he sank his claws deeper into the tree, trying to ground himself long enough to find his voice. To find the right words to tell his mate that would make her understand, that would prevent her from hating him for being unable to keep his promise made to her just this morning.
“Kagome… I… I…”
His voice was deep and thick with emotion and he cursed internally for his inability to communicate with her. Clenching his jaw in his frustration, it caused his oversized fangs to sink into his bottom lip. As a result, blood beaded up out of the punctures his canines created. However, the action did not register with him. All he could do was stare at his mating mark and curse himself internally for doing this to her again; for putting her at the mercy of his youkai blood. Not recognizing that as he thought this, even with his entire essence being drawn taunt as a bowstring, he hadn’t made any advances on his mate…
Kagome’s delicate fingertips brushing softly up along his checks to cup his face in both of her hands brought him back and out of the twisted depths of his mind. His eyes locked with her beautiful blue-grays in wonder, and as he felt her thumbs start to sweep across the markings that must have been present on his face, he waited on baited breath for her to give him direction…
“Make it stop InuYasha.”
Instantly a calm washed over him at the sound of her voice, which contradicted the chaos that was still raging inside him. It allowed him some small bit of clarity to focus on their bond and decipherer what she was feeling. At first all he could feel were the previous emotions he’d already known were there, which caused his brows to draw together from the painful reminder. His priestess was in great distress and she was extremely anxious, but… now he could pick up on her longing as well. InuYasha could sense her need, her desire for him; and that made all the difference.
Slowly his features relaxed; his claws extracted from the evergreen’s flesh and his hand ghosted down to brush his knuckles across her face. In her eyes he could see the trust that she’d always held for him and he knew then the negative emotions he felt from her were not directed at him. She was being just as strongly affected by their threatened bond as he was. Her body was crying out for him to reinstate it; to claim her.
Still… she was in this position because of him; because of decisions he had made for the both of them. He’d taken control of the choices in their relationship, without asking, and she’d forgiven him. All she had asked of him was that they go slow.
Grazing his thumb over her lips, he smiled when they parted just slightly for him. InuYasha was damned and determined to abide by her request…
Pushing his clawed hand back into her ebony hair, he reached around the back of her head to gather it all in a fist; using her locks to pull her head to the side. Effectively getting the dark waves out of his way and giving him easier access to his mark at the same time. His right hand didn’t stay idle; pulling his haori further away from his mark as well, until the loose material hung over his wench’s petite shoulder.
InuYasha didn’t miss the way her breathing amplified or the smell of her increasing excitement that his actions caused. Unable to resist touching her any longer, his right hand followed down the curve of her body. Starting at her dainty shoulder; his fingers were then ghosting out over the side of her breast, dipping in into the curve of her hourglass waist, and out again over her full hips. He cursed that the material of his haori covered her, preventing him from fully enjoying the experience. Yet he was grateful for it as his hand reached the heated flesh of her naked upper thigh. The silky sensation a good reminder that he wanted to stay in control. Grabbing onto her there, his smile broadened at feeling goosebumps taking over her skin as his claws lightly dug into her.
Pushing his body closer into hers, unable to get close enough, he gave his wench a heated look before his mouth descended onto her. Unable to kiss her properly due to his engorged fangs, he started at her jawline; kissing, nipping, licking his way down her neck. His entire body pulsed the closer he got to his mating mark. Fueling him with excitement and anticipation for what was to come. And her body was answering his, burning and pulsing, calling him to her with desperation.
When he finally reached his mark at the juncture of her neck and shoulder, InuYasha pulled back for a moment taking it in. The area was enflamed, an ugly contrast on Kagome’s porcelain skin, causing the pour flesh to look abused. Gently and to the best of his ability, he placed a loving kiss to it, which instantly pulled matching lustful moans from them both; and simultaneously caused a pulsing awareness of arousal to spread throughout their beings.
Loving the sensation, InuYasha was driven by it as his hot tongue came out to sweep across his mark. His sensitive ears didn’t miss the high gasp that left his mate on an inhale as he made contact. Eager for more, and believing he was as mentally ready as he was going to get for this ride… he sank his throbbing canines down into his mark…
Kagome had been unable to identify what it was her body had needed so desperately until this very moment. Ever since that monk had touched InuYasha’s mark, her bond with her mate, her essence had been crying out. InuYasha’s had too; she now realized that that was what those waves of energy had been. Waves that had quickly escalated into a full-blown tsunami the moment they had left the others.
All she had wanted was to get back to their cozy home, to finally be alone with her half-demon and seek out the answers to the storm whirling around inside her. With the growing urgency of their bond, she had at first been confused when InuYasha had suddenly stopped before reaching their destination. But as it quickly became apparent that he intended on addressing the situation in that moment, she had been relieved.
Still her body had been in chaos due to the enraged mating mark she possessed. And not understanding how to fix it or how to make the awful feeling go away left Kagome anxiously waiting for InuYasha’s direction. Seeing how visibly shaken he had been and feeling how tormented he had been as well had left her even more confused and apprehensive. Until it finally had clicked that he was holding himself back… for her.
That realization had filled her with even more love for him, and had brought her hands to his handsome face seeking to comfort him. Having had forced his golden-crimson eyes to look at her, she had found herself surprised in how much she wanted him in that moment as she implored him to make the storm inside her cease. She was both nervous and ecstatic when he had taken action, clearly intent on fulfilling her request.
Now all she could do was hold on for the ride. And while InuYasha had busied himself with adoring her body, her own hands had slipped into his kosode. She shamelessly felt him up as her hands happily ran over his well-defined chest and then ventured to his muscular back. When finally, he sank his canines down into her, her nails dug into his shoulder blades and Kagome couldn’t contain the lengthy airy moan that escaped her as InuYasha’s fangs hit home. Instantly it was like electricity was jolting through her, making her entire being buzz; joining her to him in the most intimate way.
It was like sex.
No, it was more intimate than sex, because it wasn’t just a physical connection; their souls were dancing, intertwined. Every time he removed his fangs from her, to shower the area with kisses, only to sink them back in the sensation replicated the feeling of when he had been inside her, entering a very different location just this morning… In no time her inner thighs were wet from the stimulation it caused, while another part of her felt painfully empty.
Electric currents tingled throughout her nerve endings, causing every inch of her to be hypersensitive. The scratchy material of InuYasha’s haori teased her nipples with every panted breath she took and unable to stand the ache in them in any longer, Kagome jerked both the haori she wore and kosode he wore fully open. When their heated flesh connected, she felt InuYasha let out a deep growl which caused her excitement to build even more; finding the sound and sensation incredibly sexy as his chest vibrated into her breasts.
As InuYasha began to grind his pelvis up into her own, wanton moans escaped her as she spread her legs needing to feel him against her core. The rough material of his hakama tormented her, keeping her from the intimate contact she craved with the soft skin of the hard bulge rocking into her. Left feeling empty and teased, in an effort to at least add more friction, Kagome arched her back causing her breasts to mold further into InuYasha’s chest and her moist center to push down hard onto his dick. Of their own accord her hips began to undulate; rubbing herself more against her hanyou’s hidden treasure.
She threw her head back in a hiss as InuYasha retaliated by scraping his claws down her ass cheek and, using the tree as leverage, lifted her up. Her legs automatically circled his waist, allowing him closer to her weeping core. Hot puffs of air left her as her demon lover found the right angle to hit her bud of nerves with every sensual grind of his hips.
InuYasha took full advantage of their new position; his hips thrusted with more vigor and he tightened his grip on her ass, pulling her lower half harder into him for more friction. Feeling the slow burning coil of his excitement in his groin, he knew his priestess was close too from the sounds leaving her and the feel of her emotions through their bond. Rubbing himself hard against his mate’s special bundle of nerves, he increased his efforts in a desperate need to bring them both to completion...
His jaws locked his fangs into place, burying them deep in his mark as they both came. Kagome’s breathless moans stroked his male ego even as his legs gave out and took them both to the forest floor. Hazily he appreciated the fact that she still wore his haori, protecting her back from the rough bark of the tree as she slid down it following him to the ground.
As his mate’s light weight settled onto his lap, InuYasha grimaced as the action caused the warm goo-y mess in his hakama to squish against his pelvis and dick. The material of his pants was well and thoroughly soaked in that area, caused from both his and his mate’s excitement. Part of him found the situation a bit juvenile; not having cummed all over himself like this since he was an adolescent. But as he listened to his miko pant for breath, leaning heavily against him for support; InuYasha was filled with pride.
Not the male pride that came from satisfying your female, although that was definitely there, but pride from having kept his promise. He was proud that he’d controlled himself with her. That even with the strength of the mating bond screaming for them both to come together, he had resisted the urge to sink himself balls deep into her. And it hadn’t helped any with how strongly the bond had affected Kagome. He knew she wouldn’t have stopped him, but he was pretty sure that was largely due to the influence of his mark. Still, that kind of knowledge abso-fucking-lutely did not help when you were trying to remind yourself why you shouldn’t do something you really wanted to do.
True, he’d still ended up dry-fucking the hell out of her…
…But she had said she wanted to build up on their relationship. And what new couple didn’t get each other off at least once like this before moving on to the real thing?
Chuckling inwardly at himself, InuYasha released Kagome from the grip of his jaws and the immediate relief he felt in his fangs was a welcomed reprieve. Processing the current events, he rested his forehead on his mates’ petite shoulder suddenly feeling drained. Taking a few deep breaths to center himself, he smirked as it dawned on him just how quickly everything had taken place. Having been driven by the mating mark and lost in the heat of the moment, it had seemed like time had stood still. When in fact the whole ordeal had lasted a good several minutes if he was lucky… Talk about revisiting adolescence, where the fuck did his stamina go?
Feeling less amused now that his ego was in danger of being wounded, by himself of all things, InuYasha leaned back to assess his priestess and deter his mind. His arms tighten from where they were casually wrapped around her waist and his smiled warmed at seeing how flushed and out of breath she still was. Lost in her after-glow, all he could think was how truly stunning she was.
“You alright?”
Kagome opened her heavy lids when InuYasha’s sultry voice reached her. Immediately her eyes found his now golden-honey ones, and she forgot how to breathe as she took him in. His hair was wild from their activities, yet still as beautiful as always; his defined chest exposed, with his kosode haphazardly open from her own doing; and his smile was so handsome and full of content. Gods how this man could be so gorgeous without even trying Kagome would never know…
As his loving gaze travelled down from her own only to turn into a hot stare and cause his smile to morph into a lustful grin, Kagome suddenly remembered that he wasn’t the only one with their chest still exposed. With the urgency of their bond satisfied and no longer being embolden by it, her arms quickly came up to cross them in front of her breasts; effectively blocking the peeping hanyou’s view. Proud of herself for not being as embarrassed as she would have been in the past, she still turned her head avoiding the heat of those sinful golden eyes.
“Pervert.”
Playfulness evident in her tone, InuYasha’s own reply followed in kind.
“What? They’re nice.”
Kagome couldn’t stop the smile from spreading across her face, strangely happy that he appreciated her breasts. But as she turned her face back towards his, she bit her lip in concentration as her now clear mind filled with dozens of questions from the day. Sad to ruin the moment, but needing answers, her voice was tentative when next she spoke.
“InuYasha? I’m fine now, but… why did that hurt so badly? I know you said if your mark was touched by another guy that it would have a negative effect but… that was awful. And that can’t be practical. If that’s how it’s always going to feel wouldn’t that put me in danger? Leave me unable to defend myself?”
As Kagome’s questions drifted off, waiting for his response, InuYasha sighed looking at her confused features. He owed her the whole truth, he knew, but he was afraid of freaking her out or making her feel pressured. This morning she’d requested they take their relationship slow, and he had so wanted to grant her that request. He owed it to her. And he had really thought he could manage it, but then he fucked up by taking them out into world… with a fresh mating mark.
Breaking eye contact, feeling ashamed of himself, he hesitantly started to explain things the way he should have this morning.
“It won’t always be like that… Generally, after some time… it’ll feel closer to how I described it this morning. It’s a negative reaction, but you won’t be left helpless and in so much pain like you were today….”
Pausing, InuYasha took a moment to gather his courage. And as Kagome’s stormy eyes continued to stare at him, he could feel her concern and apprehension through their bond and knew she was honing in on his emotions as well. Which was most definitely why she was showing him the courtesy of staying silent and waiting for him to continue.
“I fucked up today. I fucked up big time and I’m sorry Kagome. I should have never left the cave with you, and I should have explained things in more detail. I just… I just didn’t want you to hate me or feel like I was pressuring you…”
Swallowing the lump in his throat, InuYasha pushed himself to finish.
“Our bond is fresh. My mating mark on you is at a critical point. Newly mated couples spend days, almost a week sometimes, strengthening their bond. Doing nothing but reinstating their marks to ensure the bond is as strong as possible. The bond practically demands it. And of course, messing with mark leads to other activities as well… Which is why I didn’t tell you. You only asked one thing of me and I wanted to give you that.”
Finally finished, he nervously waited for Kagome’s response. His eyes shot back to her own as her right hand delicately cupped his face in a loving gesture and he stared in disbelief at her words as she spoke.
“InuYasha I don’t hate you, and I don’t think I could. You really should have told me, but I don’t think it would have prevented any of this. I mean who would have thought we would run into anyone? We’ve practically had this forest to ourselves. So, I know I wouldn’t have seen a problem with us going out.”
Granting him a sweet smile, InuYasha found himself smiling back at Kagome. It was true the stubborn wench probably would have still insisted on them going to find her footwear, even if he had told her everything up front. But he still should have known better. Leaning his face into her palm, instead of arguing that he was still at fault he offered her the same courtesy as she did him earlier and stayed silent sensing she had more to say.
“We can figure this out together now. Though, I do appreciate you being considerate of my feelings. We’ll figure something out, and… it’s not the end of the world if it does… lead to things. I do enjoy being with you… like that… I just would prefer to go slow. Mainly because… this is all really new to me, but also… I don’t want that being all our relationship is about.”
Amused by her embarrassment over the subject, InuYasha smirked at hearing Kagome admit to enjoying sexual activities with him. Not that he didn’t know that already, he wasn’t blind, deaf, or stupid, but it did fluff his male ego and help ease his conscious to hear her voice it. As the last part of what his mate had said registered with him understanding donned on him.
Catching her evasive eyes with his own, he held her gaze to reassure her again. Despite his explanation this morning, he knew it may take some extra assurance for her to completely grasp the meaning behind his mark. Because this all was new to her.
“Kagome, if that was all our relationship was or would be, then this wouldn’t be here.”
InuYasha ran his knuckles lightly over her skin next to his mark to make his point; not wishing to actually touch it to prevent things from getting heated. Pleased as a soft smile spread across his mate’s face, he smirked again as he followed up with a teasing remark.
“And it’s ok that it’s new to you… I’m more than happy to teach you.”
A fang poked out as his wicked grin grew watching as a blush dusted her cheeks and her blue-grays avoided his eyes again. Deciding to give his mate a reprieve and knowing they had more important issues to discuss, InuYasha steered the conversation back to the events of today.
“We really need to talk about what happened back there.”
Still blushing, Kagome nodded her head in agreeance. As her delicate brows knitted together, InuYasha knew she was reflecting on everything that had transpired. Prepared for questions about the very real possibility of her undergoing miko training, he was more than a little taken back by what his mate did say.
“I do hate that that monk got hurt like he did.”
InuYasha scoffed. While normally Kagome amazed him with her kindness and thoughtfulness, the wound was too fresh in this instance. His youkai grew jealous that his mate would be worried over another male, especially when said male had challenged his mark… indirectly as it may have been. Ears laid flat in his irritation, his miko’s soft giggle perked them back up as he looked at her puzzled.
“Don’t pout, silly. I’m just saying I feel bad for the guy is all… He genuinely was just trying to help me and you really did a number on him…”
Kagome smiled as InuYasha ‘keh’-ed her and turned his head to look off somewhere in the distance. Insisting that he was not pouting, while clearly, he was. She was incredibly happy that things seemed to be getting back to “normal” with them, to share moments like this with him and to be able to tease one another so comfortably. But her mirth slowly dissolved as a thought occurred to her.
Seeing InuYasha flick his amber eyes back to her, obviously feeling her unease through their bond, she shared her concern with him.
“InuYasha? When you transformed… was that because my mark was touched? Or… was it because you had the jewel?”
InuYasha’s dark brows scrunched together as he had to put some real thought into that matter.
“Honestly… I don’t know. I think the jewel may have been a factor, but… males are very territorial over their females. It’s really hard to say how much of that can be blamed on the jewel.”
Both Kagome and InuYasha stayed quiet for a moment as they each pondered that. Biting her bottom lip as her thoughts progressed, Kagome finally asked the questions InuYasha had been expecting.
“I have to train as a priestess, don’t I?”
Immediately not liking the way his wench had worded that, and standing strong in his conviction not to pressure her into anything, and he meant anything, InuYasha rushed to answer her.
“No, not if you don’t want to. I’m not making you do anything you don’t wanna, and anyone who doesn’t like that can fuck off.”
A warmed smile lifted Kagome’s lips, so grateful for this man who constantly protected her. But as the slayer’s and old miko’s words rushed across her mind, her smile dwindled.
“But… It’s true… that I’m the only one with spiritual powers strong enough to protect the jewel?”
InuYasha hesitated for a moment before answering, which told Kagome all she needed to know.
“…yes, as far as I know… and Kaede didn’t mention anyone else, which means she doesn’t know of another priestess able to– But that’s not your responsibility! If you don’t want to do this then let them worry about the damn thing!”
Kagome was touched by InuYasha’s concern, but despite what he said she still felt strangely responsible. She hadn’t been raised to walk away in tough situations, and she’d been taught to help other’s if they needed you. The Sacred Jewel had been inside her for a reason. Obviously, the Kami had a plan for her and how could she refuse? They brought her to InuYasha after all…
“Thank you InuYasha, but… I think we should let Kaede train me…”
InuYasha sighed knowing it was the right decision, but was still troubled by putting Kagome in this position.
“You’re sure?”
When Kagome simply offered him a smile and a nod, he sighed again feeling defeated. Picking up on how nervous his mate had become with the decision through their bond, and needing some reassurance himself, he squeezed his arms tighter around her waist. Sliding his right hand up to the back of her head to pull her in closer, he beamed in content as he hugged her. His smile only widened when he felt her small arms wrap around his chest as well.
They sat in comfort like that for a moment before he decided that it was probably time to finally get his mate back home. Bringing both his hands down to hook her delicious thighs, he stood. Instantly he cringed as the now dried mess in his hakama cracked against the skin of a certain sensitive area and pulled his hair there as well.
Setting Kagome on her feet to allow her a second to readjust her clothes, he did some quick adjusting of his own. Prepared to offer his miko some assistance if she needed any, he was pleased to note that she checked to be sure the jewel was still secured in the pocket of his haori she wore before turning so that he could retie the makeshift belt his jacket sleeves served as.
Finally, ready to head to home, InuYasha scooped his mate up and held her close as he took off at leisurely pace. Not long into the trek, Kagome’s soft voice calling up to him caused an ear to flick.
“InuYasha… what are we going to do about the mark? You said strengthening the bond normally last days… and if we go to the village there’s definitely going to be men around…”
Sensing Kagome’s mild embarrassment over the topic, InuYasha didn’t tease her as he realized this potentially could be a real problem. He had a solution in mind… but he wasn’t sure how well it would be received by his mate.
“We’ll just have to be extra careful; I won’t let anyone get too close to you. And we should make time to get away from everyone so that I can… uhm… reinforce my mark. We’ll have to pay attention to how strong the bond’s pull is getting and not let it get out of hand…”
Glancing down to judge her reaction, he smiled watching her bite her bottom lip clearly pondering over his proposal. When her stormy grays looked up to lock with his gaze, he could see the conviction in them as well as feel it from their bond. InuYasha knew he was in for a rough week before she even answered.
