15. Trouble in Paradise

The first two days of our stay were wonderful. We explored the forest around our campsite, spent the warm afternoons playing in the stream, and made love more times than I could count. When I had asked for that very special birthday gift I never expected that things would end up like this--I didn�t think I could even be happier than I was at that time and place.
And then we woke up on the third morning.
I knew that something was wrong instantly--instead of his warmth encircling me, I could only feel the cover shift as he inched away from me. Opening my eyes, I looked at my mate, his face frozen into a mask of something between anguish and fear. �What is it?�
His eyes shifted back and forth, almost as though he was looking for an escape route. �I can�t be here�.� His voice sounded strange, almost a moan.
My eyes were starting to burn with the tears I was trying to hold back. What had I done? He had seemed happy enough for the past couple of days, but he was suddenly behaving like he had lost his best friend. �Why? What did I do?�
He blinked a couple of times in confusion. �Do? You didn�t do anything.� He looked at me closely for a few seconds, inhaling deeply. �You really don�t know, do you? You�re in heat, baka. If I stay here with you right now, you can probably guess what�ll happen.� He shook his head slowly. �You�re still young. It wouldn�t be right to tie you down with a pup right now--even if we didn�t still have Naraku and the Shikon no Tama to worry about.� He stood up and paced across the clearing, as far as he could from where I was still sitting on my sleeping bag, clutching my robe around myself.
My anger flared suddenly. Who the hell did he think he was, anyway? Leaping to my feet, I strode over to him, jabbing him in the chest with my finger in time with my words. �What�s wrong with you?!? How dare you make such an important decision without even talking to me about it? Did it ever occur to you that I might want to start a family right away? Besides, there�s no guarantee that I would even get pregnant--� My tirade chopped off as I realized that his ears were flattened to his skull and his eyes were wide with something very much like shock.
Reaching out to him, I gathered his trembling form into my arms, heedless of the robe that slipped off my shoulders, leaving me naked in the forest with a thoroughly aroused hanyou in my arms. I sank to the soft, leaf-covered forest floor, pulling him down with me as I gently stroked his ears and hair. I rocked him slowly back and forth, starting to get a little worried. He clung to me, his breath coming in hoarse pants as he tried to fight his instincts. �It�s okay,� I whispered. �After all, most girls my age back home are already married with a couple of kids. You don�t have to be afraid to love me.�
With a deep groan, he tightened his grip on me, pushing me to the ground. This was a completely different experience--our coupling was brief but intense, spurred on by his desperate need. Though not as sweet and romantic as usual, it was still enormously satisfying, fulfilling a need that I hadn�t recognized that I even had.
After a violent climax that left me shuddering uncontrollably, he rolled away from me, sitting up and staring into the trees around our campsite. �Did I hurt you?�
I simply stared at him for a few moments--the single most fulfilling experience of my life, and he was apologizing for it? �Gods, no!� I gasped. �That was�spectacular.� Realizing that he seemed lucid once again, I decided that it was time for some of my questions to be answered. �I don�t understand,� I said.
He looked up suddenly, and I could see that he seemed to be a little more himself. Taking a deep breath, I continued, �We�ve been together for more than two years now, and you�ve never reacted to me like this before. Why now?�
He shook his head slowly, blushing a little. �It always bothered me, you know, but I would go up into the trees or out into the forest, and it wouldn�t be as strong. But now�.� At my expectant expression, he went on, �Now that I�ve claimed you as my mate, what used to be a distraction is damn near impossible to resist.�
�So why didn�t you tell me about all this before?�
His tone was anguished. �I didn�t know! I never had a mate before--I never loved anybody before, not the way I love you. How could I know that this would happen?�
I went to him, kneeling behind him and wrapping him in my arms. �Do you think it will be like this every time?�
He shook his head. �I don�t know--would you be mad if it was?�
I could feel the blush spreading across my features. �No,� I said, my voice almost inaudible, �I wouldn�t be mad. But it might cause us some trouble--it could make finding Shikon shards or fighting Naraku harder.�

He nodded slowly. �It might, but not as much as you think. As long as we can be together once in a while, I think I can keep myself under enough control to do whatever we need to do.�
I smiled brightly. �You do seem to be feeling a little better now. How long do you suppose it�ll be before we have to�you know?�
He grinned at my sudden shyness. �I don�t know. Why don�t we use the next few days to figure that out? Now,� he said, really looking at me for the first time since I�d stood up, �Let�s go and get cleaned up--we�re both covered with dirt and dried leaves.�
We cleaned up in the stream quickly, as we didn�t know how long we would have before our mutual need grew beyond our control. In what I could only assume was a gesture of pure relief at the knowledge that I wouldn�t reject him in the face of his need, my beautiful mate caught us a couple of fish, gutting them with his usual efficiency. While we waited for the fish to bake around our fire, we sat and talked.
Since we only had a couple of days before we would be returning to Tokyo and then back home, it seemed to me that the time had come to express what was becoming a growing concern. �What do you think the others will say?�
He blinked in momentary confusion. �About what?�
I smiled at his utter lack of concern over what seemed to me to be a crucial matter. �About us, of course. Things are different now, and will probably affect the way the entire group functions. I can�t imagine what poor Shippou will think--he�s become almost like a son to me.�
His eyes sparkled with something like amusement. �He won�t want to share.�
�Neither do you,� I laughed, �But you�re both going to have to learn. Besides,� I added, �He already thinks of you as almost another father.�
His eyebrows rose toward his hairline in surprise. �You�re kidding, right?�
I shook my head. �Not a chance. He understands--sort of--that we�ve gotten very close. He watches you all the time, you know. I think he understands that you�re the only one who can teach him how to survive in your world, and that�s why he�s always in your face.�
He nodded slowly, and I could see him thinking over the situation. �Maybe we should just go ahead and adopt the runt.�
I looked up in surprise: I had long ago decided that he was much more sensitive and perceptive than he let on, but it still took me by surprise whey he let these softer impulses take control. �I think he�d like that. I know I do.�

The last few days of our stay at the resort were an amazing blend of sweet tenderness and raw lust. As wonderful as they were, those days provided us with the information we needed to start planning our activities back in the Sengoku Jidai. Since we had found that we could go between three and four hours before it became absolutely necessary to stop whatever we were doing to make love, it seemed to me that we would still be able to continue our travels at a significantly reduced speed.
My hanyou lover was somewhat less confident of our ability to travel great distances. �I don�t know,� he mused. �The way things are right now, I�d probably beat the hell out of that ecchi monk just for looking at you. I don�t know what I�d do if that stinking wolf came around trying to take you from me again.�
I reached out a hand, lightly running my fingertips across the edges of his sensitive ears, smiling as he leaned slightly into my touch. �Maybe we can just stop traveling when things get this way. We could leave the others in a village somewhere and just go off by ourselves for a few days.�
To my complete surprise, he shook his head with something very like regret. �What about the kit? We can�t leave him alone--not if we�re going to be his family.�
�We wouldn�t be leaving him alone, you know. He�d be fine with Miroku-sama and Sango-chan.� As he started to argue the point, I held up a hand. �I know he gets a little clingy, but he�s going to have to learn that parents need some time alone now and then. If we can�t take care of each other, how can we take care of the rest of the family?�
That pretty much ended any further arguments.
