Chapter 4 - Anticlimactic?

It was extremely hard to pick up, as though some sort of masking spell was in place, but Inuyasha finally managed to catch the faint scent of youkai, while Kagome finally felt its aura signature. They both knew what they were hunting; now it was only a matter of finding it.
Kagome was sure her barrier would hold up, but she was worried for her other friend who was still wandering the house somewhere. Inuyasha had been reluctant to admit what'd become of Hojo, but upon Kagome's insistence, he eventually confessed to the minor stunt he'd pulled back in the bedroom. Before she could sit him, however, he quickly explained what Hojo had attempted to do earlier, in the living room. Her anger instantly shifted to the mortal man, much to Inuyasha's relief, until Kagome insisted that they still needed to find him and get him within the safety of the barrier, no matter what he'd done.
"Yeah yeah yeah..." He was not enthused.
Sniffing, Inuyasha was quick to lead Kagome towards one of the smaller upstairs bedrooms, presumably one of the children's rooms.
"He's in there."
"Hojo...?" Kagome called softly.
"Higurashi?" he questioned back, coming out of the shadows until he spotted the thing standing behind her.
"He's...he's..." he tried to get out, pointing at Inuyasha.
Kagome merely shook her head. "He's the good guy." she said finally, politely avoiding lowering her eyes to the small damp spot on the front of his pants. Thankfully, it actually wasn't that visible; his pants were black, after all. "Hojo, there's something really going on inside this house, and we're going to put a stop to it. I want you to go downstairs and stay within the barrier I've created for the girls, all right?"
Nodding mutely, he carefully passed through the doorway, staring at Inuyasha the entire time, as though he were some rabid bulldog that could strike at any moment. Once he was in the hall, they both heard the rapid pounding of his footfalls as he virtually ran downstairs.
Inuyasha snorted.
"Coward." he muttered under his breath, though he quickly shut up at the fiery glare Kagome sent his way at the jibe he'd apparently muttered a little louder than intended.
"Let's go, we've got a youkai to kill." she said after a moment, and gulping, he followed her silently. He suddenly felt sorry for the ghost/youkai they were hunting; Kagome was pissed.
The miko didn't even flinch as the window she passed by suddenly slammed open beside her. Turning her head slowly to glare fiercely in the window's direction, as if the framework had somehow offended her, she quickly muttered a short prayer before slapping a sutra against the wall. A pained shriek was heard as more sparks flew, and then all was silent again. Not for long, however, as they both suddenly heard the phone downstairs in the kitchen start ringing.
"Oh no..." Kagome whispered, as they both quickly headed back downstairs.
The girls and Hojo meanwhile, were all minding their own business within the safety of Kagome's barrier, when the sudden ringing caused them all to nearly jump right out of their skin. Nobody knew for sure what had happened to Hojo to make him so jumpy as well, but they had merely assumed that he'd seen one of the ghosts. Thankfully, because it was so dark, and the girls were only shining their flashlights around the house at anything they found suspicious, nobody had noticed the evidence of just how terrified Hojo had actually become at one point.
As the ringing continued, Eri stared in the direction of the phone, as if it were specifically calling to her. She instantly regretted when she'd touched the thing earlier.
"Is somebody going to answer it?" Ayumi asked quietly.
"Hell no." was Yuka's instant response, though Eri had a different idea.
"I think..." she said slowly, "I think somebody should."
"But Kagome said not to leave the barrier!" Yuka called after her, as Eri made her way towards the kitchen. "Oh for crying out loud." she mumbled to herself before leaving the circle as well, mindset on retrieving their stubborn friend.
Hojo and Ayumi were left blinking at each other, before all the windows down in the living room started flying open, causing the two teens to hold onto each other. Hojo blinked in surprise over how perfect Ayumi seemed to fit within his arms. Kagome was apparently off limits for good, he had finally learned that much at least. But at least Ayumi seemed to appreciate his presence. Maybe...
Yuka, meanwhile, had nearly reached her friend within the kitchen, before the door suddenly slammed shut in her face. She tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. Around that time was when Kagome and Inuyasha appeared behind her, scaring her out of her mind until she realized who they were.
"Eri's in there!" she screamed in panic.
"Stand back." Inuyasha instructed, punching the door so hard he knocked it clean out of its frame, as the broken slab of wood clattered to the floor.
"Eri no!" Kagome shouted, just as the girl was about to reach for the phone.
Acting quickly, Kagome drew back and fired the arrow she'd kept at the ready all that time, striking the phone and knocking it from the wall. Both Eri and Yuka stared at her, shocked by the spiritual light they'd seen illuminate her arrow as it flew, but then Eri quickly rushed into her arms, realizing that she'd been in some sort of a trance for a moment there.
"Back in the barrier, you two." Inuyasha spoke softly then, in a tone of voice Kagome'd rarely heard him use in the past, and never around her friends before. It was instantly clear to her in that moment that - the incident with Hojo aside - Inuyasha did care what happened to her friends.
Kagome stayed in the kitchen while Inuyasha escorted the two girls back towards the barrier, stopping just short of touching the purifying field himself, as he gently encouraged both girls to pass through with his hands placed firmly against the middle of their backs.
"Go on, off you go." he instructed, to which they obeyed without hesitation.
"He's a real hanyou." Hojo suddenly spoke up, realizing that that meant he couldn't enter the barrier, and that he was safe from him for the time being, as well as the 'ghosts'.
Inuyasha stiffened. Now what?
"I don't really care." Yuka answered dismissively, in that sort of weary tone of voice one uses when so much has happened so quickly that the mind sort of ceases to function when it comes to separating the logical from the illogical.
"If he's with Kagome, then that means he's a good guy." Eri defended, turning to look at the red clad man who blinked at her in disbelief. "Just like the hanyou and miko from that legend."
"Yeah well..." Inuyasha started slowly, unsure of what to say, and if the girls had truly believed Hojo's words or not. "History ain't gonna repeat itself. Me and Kagome, we're in it for the long haul." he mumbled quietly, in reference to what he knew the girls knew of the tragic ending between himself and Kikyou, according to legend. At least nobody suspected that he was actually that hanyou. That'd be a little harder to explain.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome suddenly screamed from inside the kitchen, his ears automatically turning at the sound, though he didn't care who saw it anymore, as he quickly turned and darted away before anyone had a chance to say anything else.
What Kagome's friends did or didn't know about them was instantly the last thing on his mind at the sight of Kagome being suspended in the air, held against her will, as she appeared to be struggling against some invisible foe.
"Let her go you bastard!" he cried, drawing Tetsusaiga, which transformed, proving that there was something there.
He couldn't release a direct attack though, not without hitting Kagome. Then suddenly it hit him, Dragon Scale Tetsusaiga. Kagome wasn't a youkai, so therefore, she wouldn't have any youketsu to confuse with the enemy's. He wouldn't risk accidentally hurting Kagome with that attack. Holding his sword out in front of him, and concentrating on the attack he wished to use, Kagome watched in wonder, as she always did, as a reptilian-like coating suddenly adorned the giant fang.
Inuyasha could see it, the single swirl of youketsu. Taking aim, he dove into the air, bringing down his blade as hard as he could. But that was a difficult attack to master, easily avoidable to those with reasonable agility. Just as he had managed to dodge the attack himself when Kanna's mirror monster had thought to use it on him, the invisible thing that had been holding Kagome instantly dropped her, quickly dodging out of the way of Inuyasha's attack before his strike hit true. Crashing his blade down into the tile flooring, he did quite a number on the kitchen, but that was it. At least Kagome had been released, though, which was really all that mattered to him in that moment.
"Are you okay?" he asked her quietly, brushing her bangs out of her eyes.
"Behind you!" she gasped, and he barely had time to react when out of the corner of his eyes, he saw what looked like a giant youkai claw aiming right for them.
Grabbing his wife, he just managed to roll them both out of the way right before it struck, and as the giant youkai claw moved to follow him, he gently as possible shoved Kagome away, barely raising and holding the Tetsusaiga over himself before the next strike hit, the Tetsusaiga's barrier thankfully deflecting the attack. Kagome, meanwhile, had enough time to gather herself to her feet, quickly notching and shooting another arrow. Her aim was true, but as her arrow approached the image of that giant youkai claw, said claw simply disappeared, and not in the fashion they had come to associate with things being purified. Her arrow passed through the disappearing image as if nothing were there, to instead lodge itself in the far wall. But however real or not that youkai claw had appeared prior to vanishing couldn't argue against the very real evidence of giant gouge marks in the kitchen floor where it had struck the first time, when Inuyasha had rolled them both out of the way.
"What's going on here?!" He was getting fed up with being toyed with.
"I have no idea, but I intend to find out." was Kagome's reply, as she slapped another one of Miroku's purifying ofuda on the wall. "I'm gonna drive this fucker out if it's the last thing I do." she vowed, and Inuyasha had to do a double-take at her use of profanity.
Rushing back into the living room, Kagome promptly ignored the looks she was receiving from all four teenagers currently left stranded within her barrier, as she dug through her backpack for additional ofuda, ever so thankful that she had actually thought ahead and brought the things. While she had never used to believe that this house was haunted, she would have been a fool to remain so closed-minded after her adventures in the Feudal era.
Thoroughly armed, she ran back upstairs, her miko senses telling her that that's where the foreign youkai aura was coming from. Inuyasha was hot on her heels, appearing unfazed as his mate slapped a sutra against the wall every few feet or so.
"Things might get a little uncomfortable for you." she warned him.
"I can take it." he assured her, "Let's get this bastard."
Whatever mask the youkai had previously been using to hide its scent didn't quite successfully mask the stench of its fear. It feared both he and Kagome. Good, it should fear them. Bursting back into the master bedroom, as that was where Inuyasha's nose was telling him the stench was coming from, Kagome flung out several sutra just like how Miroku had taught her, each one swiftly attaching to the wall or furnishings. Inuyasha hissed in mild discomfort, but the strength of purification in the atmosphere wasn't as potent as what Kagome had used in the barrier she'd made to protect them during the new moon. The sutra were designed to drive the creature out, not kill it. Stronger ofuda would have been too much of a risk to Inuyasha.
A fluctuation in the concealing magic the youkai was using led them both to the closet, where said hanyou could smell that there was a youkai hiding within.
"All right." Kagome smiled triumphantly, "We got 'em."
She drew back her bow as he held up his sword with his right hand, swiftly reaching forward and flinging the door open with his left.
Whatever they had been expecting, whether they'd thought some sort of hideous human-eating monster would suddenly fly out at them in a desperate attack, or some eerie ghost-like being would be standing there more calmly, as if believing it had still won, they most certainly had not been expecting this...
"Please..." he sobbed, huddled in the corner, hands over his head, and utterly, utterly terrified. "Please don't kill me! I'm sorry!" the boy wailed.
"A kitsune?" Inuyasha grumbled in disbelief, lowering his sword at the same time Kagome lowered her bow.
He reminds me of Shippou... she thought, grinning a little despite herself.
While the kitsune was clearly not Shippou, and appeared slightly older than their fox friend from the past, giving off the impression of being a young teenager, it was clear that he was just as harmless as the cub they had almost come to care for as their own son.
It didn't take Inuyasha long to get over his initial shock, and after having so much built-up adrenaline go to waste, he was pissed.
Reaching forward and grabbing the kitsune by his tail, he yanked the brat up to eye level and snapped, "Just what the fuck do you think you've been doing, you little shit?!"
"Inuyasha! Don't hurt him!"
He gawked at her as if she'd grown a second head.
"Don't hurt him? What about us?! He tried to skewer us with that damnable claw, and had you strung up mid air!"
"I'm sure he wasn't really going to kill us." she tried to reason.
"How the fuck do you know?"
"I wasn't going to hurt you!" the kitsune cried, "Please! I wasn't! I've never hurt anybody!"
"Oh yeah?" he asked, not believing him, "Then what about the people from Kagome's school who've claimed that some kids disappeared after staying here? What about the family who lived here in the first place?"
"All lies!" he cried. "There never was a human family killed in this house, I set the whole thing up!"
"Somebody had to have lived here at some point in time." Kagome spoke up again, trying to wrap her brain around everything he was saying. "Somebody had to have bought this land, and had the house built in the first place."
"It was..." he sniffled, "It was my parents who bought this house." he confessed.
For an instant, Kagome had a horrible vision of something terrible befalling his parents, just like little Shippou, but he quickly elaborated with, "They bought it for me, and helped me get everything started."
She shook her head in confusion.
"So...let me get this straight. Back in the '60s, your parents, disguised as humans, bought this house, and helped you set up the illusion of a family living here for a few years, who then got murdered, just so the house could then become abandoned, leaving you here to do what...just stay here and scare the bajeebus out of anyone who dared staying the night in a haunted house?"
Sniffling, he nodded.
"Feh." Inuyasha snorted, "Why the hell would they do that?"
"I..." he confessed, "...I have fifty years...to scare as many people as I can...then see where I rank."
Where he ranks? Is this like that Kitsune Inn we ended up staying at that one night?
"I think I understand..." Kagome started softly, managing to free the boy from Inuyasha's grasp as she then set the young man down on his feet. "You helped spread the rumors yourself, didn't you? Disguising yourself as various school kids, you talked about how cool this haunted house really was." He nodded. "And..." she continued, "Scaring a hanyou and a miko, I bet you get a lot of extra points for that, don't you? For the Kitsune Youjutsu exam?"
It was now the kitsune's turn to gawk at her.
"How do you know about that?"
"I..." she started hesitantly, but Inuyasha beat her to it.
"I knew a kitsune once who pulled some shit like this." he explained, figuring it would be easier for the brat to buy that he'd just told Kagome things about the youkai world she hadn't really seen for herself, since humans of that time period obviously were't supposed to know. "Feh, little brat." he griped quietly as an afterthought, remembering all the stunts that Shippou had pulled that night.
"Say, you don't happen to know a kitsune by the name of Shippou, do you?" Kagome asked then, to which the child shook his head in the negative.
For a second there, her heart dropped to her stomach, wondering if something bad had happened to her baby over the span of time. Seeing the sadness in her eyes, and realizing that the miko had sincerely hoped he would somehow know her friend's kitsune friend, he quickly explained, "There are just so many kitsune all over, we're far too numerous for us to all know each other." Turning to address the inu-hanyou himself, he stated, "I'm sure the kitsune you knew is still out there somewhere."
Inuyasha nodded at his reassurance, figuring it made sense that the youkai most likely to survive to Kagome's time would be youkai who could naturally disguise themselves, like kitsune. Apparently, the kitsune before them seemed to realize this, as well, as it suddenly dawned on him how odd it was that he was speaking to an adolescent hanyou, accompanied by a miko, no less. Inuyasha's youki was strong, revealing he was well over a century old. "How have you managed to stay hidden from the humans for so long?" he asked then, unable to help himself. "Even being half human I know you gotta be way older than you look, and even if you weren't, hanyou are still pretty rare even today since you can't hide stuff like your ears."
Said ears flattened to his head, as he racked his brain for some kind of an answer. For once, it was actually Kagome who thought the most quickly, as she was immediately the one to answer with, "He's been a close family friend to my shrine family for a long time, staying on the same shrine grounds for generations, having befriended a miko from long ago, earning her protection, and thus the protection of my family to this day." It was always easier to lie with the truth, after all.
The fox-youkai took one sniff in her direction, and then commented, "Seems to me like you two are more than just friends."
She blushed terribly, while Inuyasha snapped back with, "And how is that any of your business?"
"I'm sorry..." he apologized sincerely, shuffling his feet. "You're um...you're not gonna tell the others, are you? If they learn the truth about me, then I'll lose all the points I got for scaring them. I already lost the ones I got for scaring you two, since you found me."
"Why should we care about-"
"Of course we won't tell them." Kagome interrupted, glaring right back when Inuyasha shot her a look of his own.
```
At the sound of creaking floorboards, everyone quickly shined their flashlights in the direction of the stairs, releasing a collective sigh of relief at the sight of Inuyasha and Kagome rejoining them.
"Did you get it?" Eri asked.
"What was it?" Yuka asked next.
Kagome wasn't usually a very good liar, especially on the spot like that, but she would feel guilty for causing the little guy to lose all of his hard earned points for the evening. She needed to think of something believable, and fast. Inuyasha, meanwhile, just rolled his eyes. Leave it to Kagome to show sympathy to the bastard that'd had them all chasing their tails for half the night. But even he could suppose that at least something positive had come out of the whole experience. He'd learned that youkai, or at least some select youkai, did indeed still exist in Kagome's time. That knowledge suddenly made his future seem much brighter, and hopefully, if all went according to plan once the jewel was finally completed, that little lie Kagome had managed to fabricate regarding himself being a long term friend of her shrine family over the centuries would actually come true. Who knew? Maybe their five hundred year old counter parts were just sitting back and watching everything unfold with a bucket of popcorn. Mmmm...another wonder-food of Kagome's time. Where was he? Ah, yeah...he supposed he owed the little bugger something for bestowing him with hope for the future and what not.
"It was an energy-youkai, the kind that feed off the life-force of humans. Probably what really killed the family those decades back. It faked all that 'haunted' crap because a frightened human tastes better. Bastard didn't like the taste of Kagome's arrows too much, though."
He finished his little speech with a smug look of superiority, crossing his arms with a very 'You got a problem with that?' expression on his face. Kagome glanced his way for a brief moment, grateful that he had kept the kitsune's secret, but also surprised that he had given her all the credit for 'killing' the invading youkai. But like he'd already proven to her time and time again throughout the last year of their relationship, he was in fact not the simple-minded individual that he often pretended to be in the company of others. He most certainly had not forgotten that they were standing on rather shaky ground with regard to what her friends now knew about him, and the last thing he needed to admit in their presence was the fact that his sword possessed magical youki-based attacks. It was bad enough that Hobo had already seen its transformation. Since they also already knew that Kagome possessed the purifying abilities of an ancient miko, it stood to reason that they'd believe him if he claimed that she had managed to kill the youkai with her arrows, without the statement triggering any tough questions.
As it would turn out, nobody seemed to have any questions at all, merely nodding in acceptance of his explanation. They were all thoroughly exhausted, and all thoroughly Halloweened-out.
"I want to go home." Ayumi uttered quietly, and Hojo wrapped an arm around her shoulder before replying with, "Then we'll go home."
It was then Kagome's turn to be observant of the situation around her, as she caught the unmistakable glance of apprehension that Hojo briefly sent in Inuyasha's direction. Yeah, the guy probably didn't want to be stuck in the same car as a hanyou for an hour and a half. Not that she could blame him. Not that she shared his view regarding Inuyasha at all...but she didn't really want to be stuck in a car with him for an hour and a half. Let Hojo drive the others home.
"Actually, you guys go on ahead, but I need to perform a few purifying rituals. They're boring and time consuming, but necessary. We'll be all right."
Inuyasha snickered silently to himself. She was getting better at telling lies all the time.
"You sure?" Eri asked, worried about stranding them there.
"Yup." she assured her friend, her traditional fake smile firmly in place. "There was that small restaurant a couple of miles down the road, remember? We'll just walk there in the morning and call a taxi."
"If you're sure." That time it was Yuka who wanted to make sure that Kagome would be all right before just leaving her and Inuyasha there by themselves.
"Positive. Oh, and guys..." the miko continued, "Let's keep everything that happened here tonight a secret, okay? Nobody else should know what really went on here, or what was discovered." she hinted suggestively with double meaning. "So as far as the others at school are concerned, a few things went bump in the night, and when we left the place, it was still haunted, okay?"
"Don't worry Kagome." Eri answered.,p> "You can count on us." Yuka added.
"I'm just glad you two are okay." Ayumi chimed in.
"Whatever, shall we go?" was Hojo's rather tactless response, as he addressed the three girls.
Kagome wasn't really worried about him, though. Who was he going to tell? Who would believe him?
"Goodnight guys, drive safe." she bid farewell, as they all gathered their belongings and headed out to Hojo's car.
"You don't really want to stay the whole night here, do you?" Inuyasha asked her once they were alone.
"With that impressionable youth lurking upstairs?" she asked in return with an amused tone of voice. "Not on your life." she supplied, adding, "I figured you probably have some extra energy to burn, so I thought we could go for a run. There's still a chance to salvage the rest of our anniversary."
If he caught the possible double-meaning behind her last statement he didn't show it, as with a fairly grumpy attitude he gestured towards where her backpack rested, and said, "Good, grab your stuff already. Let's get the hell out of here."
They ran for about forty minutes before Kagome's legs started cramping, and he reluctantly let her down for a small break. They'd obviously needed to take a slightly more scenic route back into town, but they would still be home long before sunrise. Away from any city lights as they currently were, in a small patch of what remained of the wild forests of long ago, Kagome glanced upward through the spaces in the trees, sighing contently.
"It's such a beautiful night." she uttered softly, noting how the stars almost seemed as bright as they did back in the Feudal era. Almost.
Inuyasha snorted, waiting impatiently for her to pick up her bag and arrows from where she'd sat them down so that they could start running again. "If you say so." he mumbled absentmindedly.
"I'm sorry." she apologized gently, coming up to stand beside him. "I know you got all riled up, only to discover it was just a stupid kid."
Her choice of language was for his benefit, and he did offer a slight half-smile at her effort, but shaking his head in frustration, he explained, "It was all just so...so...anticlimactic."
Kagome blinked. His vocabulary is improving everyday.
"I understand." she whispered softly, before leaning herself against him in a sort of half-hug, running one hand soothingly up and down his back.
Her caress quickly took on a much less innocent feel, however, as she lowered her hand to gently cup his ass.
Inuyasha chuckled.
"You've been hanging around Miroku for too long." he scolded teasingly, though he made no effort to remove her hand from his backside.
"If you've still got all that adrenaline built up from the hunt, like I do, then I can think of another way to burn it all off, that might make the night a little more...climactic." she purred suggestively.
At any other time, Inuyasha would've already been half naked by the time she finished her sentence, but for once in his life, he simply wasn't in the mood. "Let's just get you home." he mumbled, apologizing with his eyes at the disappointed look she sent him.
"Who are you and what have you done with my Inuyasha?" she pouted.
He chuckled softly once more at her face, before sobering. "I'm sorry, Kagome." he answered, stating "It's just...after everything that's happened tonight..."
"I guess Hojo was right, after all." she interrupted.
"What?"
"Oh nothing."
"What did that little pansy ass tell you?"
"It isn't important."
"Kagome-"
"Let's just get home, all right? It's fine...really..."
He didn't budge. "What did that bastard say?"
"Inuyasha," she assured him, "I love you, okay? You don't have anything to worry about. I would never leave you for someone like-"
She didn't even get to finish when the wind was suddenly knocked out of her, as she rather unexpectedly found herself pinned up against the nearest tree.
"He tried to take you from me?" he asked low, and suddenly Kagome felt a twinge of fear for poor Hojo. Maybe this wasn't the best idea in the world, after all.
"N-no." she answered shakily. Not because she was scared, although her stomach was definitely aflutter. Didn't he realize the effect he had on her, being that close? Their skin so close to touching that she could feel his aura merging with hers, his breath heating the column of her throat in shallow pants, as he attempted to calm himself. She was sure that nose of his could pick up how strongly she was aroused.
"I...I was kidding..." she managed to confess, "Hojo never said-" She was silenced by a bruising kiss that left her gasping for air.
"You're mine, bitch. Don't you ever forget that." he stated with conviction, his eyes momentarily flashing red.
But what seemed like it should have been terrifying, and probably would have been to anybody else, only proved to turn her on even further. She knew Inuyasha would never hurt her, and she had accepted his rather possessive personality long ago. She didn't mind it in the least when he claimed that she belonged to him. She never wanted anyone else, for as long as she lived. Although, it was a two-way street...
"Just as you belong to me." she stated with authority, quickly yanking his head backwards with a sharp tug on his hair, as she leaned herself forward and sucked hard on the pulse point on his throat, nipping him with her teeth. As a human, she knew Inuyasha could be kind, and sweet, and gentle, when the moment called for it, but as a youkai, she knew he liked it rough.
He growled, the kind of growl that nightmares were made from. Her aura danced with his, tugging, pulling, encouraging him to come out and play. Inuyasha could feel it. Just like when Tetsusaiga had called forth the power of his youkai blood, Kagome's miko aura was drawing out his beast...but his mind was still his own. Yanking his hair free from Kagome's grasp, he slammed her backward against the tree once more, except she knew he was being careful of her human body when she felt the cushion of his hand behind her head, so that it wouldn't strike the bark. Her body may be a little more fragile than his, but she liked it rough, too.
"Bitch." he hissed, and she couldn't be sure if he meant it as a replacement for 'woman' as he sometimes did, having explained that the term was natural for inu-youkai...or if he meant it as the insult he knew it was for humans, in response to the stunt she'd just pulled in order to seduce him.
"Your bitch." she answered behind a smirk, figuring her response worked either way.
Snarling, the now fully transformed Inuyasha crashed his mouth down on top of hers, heedless of his extra long fangs that managed to bite into her lips a few times. The taste of blood only proved to fuel his beast even further, as Kagome suddenly found his hands upon her body, quickly working loose the ties to her miko robes. Desperate to keep the pace, she quickly worked loose the ties on his robes, as well, taking a moment between tackling the double-knots on his hakama to briefly grip his erection teasingly through the cloth. Her eyes bulged at the realization that apparently his fangs and claws weren't the only things that got even longer when he turned full demon.
He whimpered at the touch, an actual whimper. His canine instinct was as close to the surface during a transformation as his human emotions were during the new moon. Not that he cared one bit. He might not have been in the mood a few minutes ago, but Kagome had rapidly changed all that. She knew just how to get to him, to trigger his possessive nature. He of course had realized what she'd attempted to confess, that the whole thing had been a ruse in order to manipulate him, but to be perfectly honest, he didn't much care at the moment.
Kagome had no idea how he'd managed it so quickly, and without tearing a single thing, but she suddenly found herself standing quite naked before an equally naked Inuyasha. Both sets of their clothing left completely intact, in a pile by their feet. He might be more beast than man at the moment, but he still knew enough to comprehend the fact that they would need to get dressed again at some point.
He glanced at her with a very suggestive smirk, observing the tree behind her as he took note of the height of the lowest branch, before suddenly grabbing her tightly around the waist, and effortlessly lifting her up onto his shoulders at the same time that he backed her against the tree. That maneuver created the end result of Kagome resting her back against the tree over six feet in the air, as he held her up, her legs wrapped instinctively around his neck and back, as he devoured her.
He didn't give her any time to adjust, skipping all of that slow teasing that he usually did in preparation for this act. Kagome desperately tried to free herself on instinct as the sensations were so strong, so quickly, but she couldn't move. He held her firmly in place, and she was forced to endure the results of her torture. If you play with fire, then eventually, you're going to get burned. Her body eventually caught up with the onslaught it was receiving as she begged for more, her fists tangling into his hair. Remaining extremely conscientious of his fangs, he complied with her request, switching off between entering her with his tongue, and rapidly flicking it across her swollen clit.
As she screamed his name to the heavens, he smiled against her pussy, drinking in everything that poured out of her with a hungry passion. Then, without giving her the time needed to fully drift back down from the high she'd been thrust upon, he quickly lowered her body along the tree, her shoulders scraping against the rough bark in the process, which she completely ignored upon suddenly being forcefully shoved down onto his throbbing erection. He filled her more fully that he'd ever filled her before, reaching something at that angle that lied hidden deeply within, and she gasped in pained pleasure at the sensation of him drawing himself out, only to thrust back inside her body once more.
Holding her against the tree, he pounded into her with abandon, her legs wrapped tightly around his waist in a desperate attempt to hold on for the ride, which was all that she could do in that position. Kagome was sure her back would be bothering her in the morning, but that was the least of her concerns for the time being, with the incredible force of the sensations rushing through her.
Thrusting his hips vigorously, Inuyasha momentarily forgot everything about the world around them, concentrating solely on the woman he held in his grasp. It was a good thing they weren't currently in the Feudal era, or some beast lurking in the night could have surely snuck up on them in his distraction. Feeling his pending release slowly gathering force within himself, he increased the tempo of his rhythm, bringing Kagome to the very limit of what her human body could safely endure. Seemingly without warning, it hit him all at once, as his balls tightened and his hips snapped forward, an inhuman howl ripping from his throat as he emptied himself deeply within her.
He remained perfectly still in that position for several minutes, simply trying to regain his normal breathing. His slowly softening member pulsed happily a few last times, as Kagome slumped wearily against him. Finally, his heart stopped pounding so frantically in his chest, as his youkai blood receded, and he reverted back into his hanyou form. His memory of everything that'd occurred remained unhindered, just like the times he had transformed while holding Tetsusaiga. Carefully moving himself away, he withdrew himself from Kagome while simultaneously lowering her to her feet. Her legs were shaky, and Inuyasha had to rush forward to catch her before she fell. The scent of her blood burned his nose, though thankfully, her wounds were superficial. He was afraid she would be angry with him, though, for causing her any injuries at all. Her back was pretty scratched up. His ears lowered in shame at the realization. He knew she had enjoyed herself, and that mating at all had originally been her idea, but he shouldn't have allowed himself to lose control like that.
He was just about to open his mouth to apologize when a delicate hand caressing his ear pulled him from his thoughts, to gaze downward into warm, loving eyes. He knew he was forgiven, or rather, that she had never been angry with him in the first place, when she smiled that special, tender, heartwarming smile of hers, and murmured "Happy Anniversary."
