**UPDATED**
Demon Nature
Chapter Five

It was hours before InuYasha dragged himself back to his hidden little cave, not quite noon but the sun was well and truly up. He could only hope that his demon was spent after his strenuous activities.
He hadn’t been able to find anything else to kill after he slaughtered the snake youkai. No sign of anything; no prey, no ugly demon beast. Nothing. The angry demonic roar he had let loose had scared everything away. So, he had to settle for taking his frustrations out on innocent trees…
‘We’re going to have a lot of firewood.’
He snorted at his own joke. Some mighty demon he was, he couldn’t even control himself around a mere human woman and had to slaughter trees because of it. Well that and run all over creation searching for something to kill. Even that was difficult to do, because while he had needed space from his wench he hadn’t dared venture too far.
As he walked into the dimly lit cave, his eyes sought out the object of his desires and frustrations. Locating her petite figure, InuYasha felt the change in him as he slowly approached her sleeping form. His blue iris’s turning golden once more as the harsh jagged purple streaks faded into a more mild appearance.
Bending down on one knee next to her, his heart sank as he took in her tear stained face. It pained him to see her in such a state and he knew he could have prevented it if only he’d been stronger. Knowing she was in distress he had found himself venturing back to their cave several times, everything in him wanting to seek her out to comfort her. But each time InuYasha would regain his senses enough that he hadn’t let himself come to her. He was too afraid of doing something he would regret. Shattering her faith in him, causing her to fear him. He had wanted to wear his demon down before coming back to his precious miko.
On its own accord, his hand went to her face and he gently wiped away the salt of a dried tear with him thumb. At his touch the wench instantly seemed more relaxed and the tiniest of smiles appeared on her face.
InuYasha smiled sadly to himself. He had left her here alone and more than likely confused to hell and back. He couldn’t forgive himself for leaving her to cry by herself, but he would take that any day over the alternative that almost took place...
Seeing her body give a small shiver from a cool breeze that entered the cave, he stood. Silently gliding over to the fire pit, he set to getting the fire blazing once more, wanting to make sure his fragile guest stayed warm since it was starting to get chilly as autumn set in.
Once he had brought the fire back to life, he got lost in thought thinking of the beautiful woman. Where was his wench from anyway? He had traveled far in his life and had never seen clothing as strange as hers.
She acted as if she had never before seen a demon. Her spiritual powers were strong from what he could tell, yet she was untrained. Not only that but she acted like she hadn’t ever seen her powers before either.
InuYasha was jerked from his ponderings as he heard his name being called softly from the sleepy wench as she came conscious.
“InuYasha…?”
Her voice sounded so small and hurt that he wanted to do anything to take it away and replace it with her smile. Turning his head to look back at her, his heart melted as he was met with unsure blue-gray eyes. Sighing, he turned back around to stare off over the fire. He wanted to go to her, but he wasn’t sure he trusted his demon to behave. Unsure of what he should do and still somber over the pain he’d caused her, his voice was soft as he replied to her.
“What?”
His canine ears were met with only her silence. He scented the air to try to decipher where her thoughts were taking her, but he came up short as he could only smell the salt of her old tears and a slight anxious odor coming from her.
As his ears picked up the sound of her abruptly moving around, he glanced back over his should to see what she was up to. Watching as she tried to find her balance to stand, he heard the sound of the harsh hiss that left her as soon as she tried to put weight on her swollen ankle. Immediately she started to fall back down, and having not stood up completely it was a short trip to the ground. Her ass never hit the furs, however, as InuYasha was right there to catch her.
Cradling her to his chest, he glared down at her annoyed that she had hurt herself. As he set her back on his white kosode, his voice was scolding as he addressed her.
“Just what do you think you’re doing?”
Kagome wouldn’t meet his glare as she stared anxiously down at her lap. Biting her lower lip out of nervousness, she found some hope in that it didn’t feel like InuYasha was angry with her. He seemed more concerned than anything else.
Slowly she brought her gaze to his own, noticing how his annoyed glare quickly changed into something tender. It was odd how such wicked looking eyes, glowing with red and gold, could convey a sweet affection as tenderness.
Still a little insecure and slightly confused at the signals he was sending; Kagome’s voice was small as she answered him innocently.
“I wanted to come sit with you…”
InuYasha was relieved to hear her words. He had feared that he had damaged the trust she held in him from his earlier behavior. To hear she still wanted to be close to him gave him a sense of warm inner calm.
Shaking his head, he gave out a small ‘keh’ and promptly lifted her back up as he took her place and sat down on his kosode. Repositioning her in his arms he sat her between his crossed legs. He kept his arms wrapped loosely around her; unable to bring himself to release her, but not wanting to make her feel trapped either.
Smirking playfully down at her he tried his best to make her comfortable and to erase any lingering sadness she had. When he spoke, he didn’t even try to hide the amusement that he felt.
“There. Now you’re sitting with me.”
InuYasha was rewarded with a small smile and a soft giggle. His male ego and his demon both proud to have brought that from her. As she softly laid her head on his bare chest, his pride only grew and he couldn’t stop his demons’ line of thinking.
He was doing well at proving to her he would be a suitable mate.
Trying his best to rid himself of such thoughts, he reminded his demon that she was human. His wench wouldn’t see it quite like that. From his little experience with humans, he guessed she would see it as him being ‘nice’. Possibly, if he was lucky, that he ‘liked’ her.
Snorting silently to himself, he couldn’t help but to think that ‘like’ was a huge understatement. He wasn’t even in the same region as ‘like’. ‘Like’ was across the ocean somewhere on the other side of the world.
“I’m sorry…”
His train of thought was halted at the sound of her small and hesitant voice. He looked down at her in his arms truly confused. What did she have to apologize for? And why was she once again avoiding his gaze?
As her scent started to change to a horrible mixture of disgust and embarrassment, InuYasha wasted no time in getting to the bottom of what troubled her.
“For?”
He felt as she shrank into herself some, and watched curiously as she chewed her bottom lip. His ears were trained forward waiting on her to explain herself. And as he saw the blush that took over her face, he was really intrigued.
However, once she finally found the nerve to speak, he was angry with himself all over again.
“For earlier… I’m not sure what I did, but… you looked so mad. I know you were just trying to help me. I’m sorry if I made you angry by… doing something.”
Kagome found it was a lot harder to pointblank say what had happened earlier with her body. It was all the more difficult knowing that he was staring down at her with his piercing crimson-honey eyes.
She knew her apology was lame, but she had to try hard just to get that much out. It was extremely embarrassing, but it was worth it. She really didn’t want to lose her only friend in this strange place.
What an understatement. She knew there was more to it than that. She could have a hundred friends and be ok with losing them all, if she just got to keep one particular handsome inu demon around.
She was startled from her thoughts as she felt said demons’ finger hook under her chin. Her heart practically pounded out of her chest as he lifted her face to force her look at him. When her eyes finally met his, her breath caught at the seriousness held in his scarlet-gold stare. As he spoke low to her, his words washed through her with a wave of relief.
“You have nothing to be sorry for wench. You did nothing wrong. What happened? That was all me. And I was angry at myself, not you. If anything is your fault, it’s how damn delicious you smell.”
Kagome blushed down to her toes at what he said last. Unable to tear her eyes away from his heated gaze, butterflies were starting to take flight at being the center of his attention. Trying hard to redirect his focus, she managed to squeak out one word.
“Why?”
Understanding the meaning behind her vague inquiry, InuYasha sighed. Releasing her chin, he was pleased when she didn’t look away from him. He knew he owed her an explanation. Thinking hard on what exactly he should tell her and how, his voice was steady as he began to explain the ways of demons to a human.
“Inu Youkai rely heavy on our sense of smell. It helps us to tell who is pack, friend, foe, and lead us to our mates. We use others’ scents to gage what they are feeling or planning.”
InuYasha paused as he let her digest that information. A wicked smirk found its way to his lips as he prepared for her reaction at what he was about to say.
“Your scent just overloaded me. Being more in touch with my inu side as I am now, I’m more inclined to take action than to ask for an invitation. Your body wanted mine. I was more than happy to comply. Simple as that.”
Well technically not as simple as that, but he wasn’t about to go into the fact that his youkai had apparently claimed her as his mate. Still, he found great amusement in the color of red his wench turned. She was almost as crimson as the firerat suikan around her body. The point of a fang poked out as his smirk widened.
‘She truly is innocent...’
Feeling his demon start to stir at that thought, he decided he would give her a break from him teasing. Not just for her sake but for his own. He didn’t want a repeat of what happened earlier…
His demon growled at him for that thought. Well okay so his demon would love a redo of earlier, just with a slightly different ending. Hell, even he couldn’t pretend that that wouldn’t have been nice… He was still a male after all. Mortal men and youkai alike all seemed to have the same reaction when it came to that particular subject. If a female wanted to do the dirty with you, you didn’t say no. Unless of course you already had a female of your own, and even then, he knew some males still didn’t turn down an offer.
Desperately needing a change in subject, InuYasha thought back to his earlier musings before the wench had woken up.
“Where are you from?”
Kagome couldn’t believe how brazen he was! While she could barely tip toe around the subject, he just dived right in. Her face was burning from how hotly she was blushing, and as his smirk grew she had to avert her eyes.
She knew he was purposely teasing her. Doing a 180 in making her feel so at peace to completely mortified. It wasn’t just his teasing about her body’s scent that got to her though, but the fact that he had just admitted to wanting to have sex with her.
Even more shameful was the fact that the idea didn’t bother Kagome as much as she thought it should. They were strangers! How could she be ok with letting him do such a thing?   As she remembered the feeling of his tongue all over her body from when he had been healing her, she couldn’t help the playful thought that ran through her mind.
‘Oh yeah that’s why…’
With her mind on that particular subject, Kagome thought back on how she had panicked in the moment a few hours earlier. When InuYasha was preparing to take things to a whole other level, she hadn’t felt she had a choice in the matter. If she really thought about it; that, and the fact that things had escalated too fast, were the only reasons she had panicked.
She had a sinking suspicion that if he took his time, she’d be putty in that gorgeous demons’ claws… Which bothered her some because she never considered herself to be that type of girl. But for some reason she felt unusually close to InuYasha and she was having a hard time resisting the pull she felt towards him.
Her face was only getting redder and redder with the direction her thoughts were taking her. So, she was definitely relieved when InuYasha asked his simple question. Although, she had to contemplate hard on how to give what should have been a simple answer.
“I don’t think you would believe me if I told you.”
Cocking a curious eyebrow at her, InuYasha’s retort was short and sweet.
“Try me.”
Taking a deep breath, Kagome focused hard on the walls of the cave in concentration. Finally feeling she had a place to start, she began to tell InuYasha how she came from a very different world. A place where monsters and demons only existed in stories. Mainly her grandpa’s stories.
She told him how her family were the caretakers of a shrine for generations. That she had been helping her brother find their family cat when that centipede monster had appeared from nowhere. How she was drug down into the well with blue lights flashing all around her.
Pausing as she gave herself time to truly process what had happened to her, her next words were almost a whisper.
“When I climbed out of the well… it was like I had stepped back in time.”
She smiled sadly at reminding herself again how she had lost her family. Kagome then felt the need to explain why she had apologized earlier. Even when she wasn’t sure what she had done to make him mad.
“The reason I apologized for earlier… You had looked so angry… I was afraid I had lost the only person who made me feel safe in this strange place…”
InuYasha had been listening intently to Kagome’s tale. It was almost unbelievable to think a well could take one back in time… but he had certainly seen weirder things in his long-life span.
At least now he knew why the wench had jumped into a dry well. That would also explain her odd clothing.
As her demeanor grew sad, he was instantly on edge. His demon hated that his wench was in such a state and demanded that he fix it. Before he could act, however, her next words stilled him. Inwardly, his youkai soared at her confession that he made her feel safe. That’s what mates were supposed to do after all.
A strong wave of protectiveness filled him and he found his hand reaching for her own. Gently taking hold of her left hand with his right, he gave it a small squeeze as he lifted their joined hands to his chest. Holding her hand to his heart, InuYasha captured her gaze when she glanced up in surprise.
He didn’t speak immediately as he stared deep into her stormy-blues. He wanted her to see that the words he was preparing to convey to her were not hollow. That he meant every word.
As a result, his voice was low and serious when he finally spoke.
“I promise; you will never be alone here. I will protect you with my life.”
When InuYasha had taken Kagome’s hand in his own, she had thought at first that he was just offering her a kind gesture. Surprise grabbed her as she felt the warmth of his skin from his chest. Glancing up and seeing where he placed her hand over his heart, she knew he had something important to say.
As his eyes held hers captivated, she had the strangest feeling he was baring his soul to her. Allowing her to take residence there and make it her new home. The words he spoke to her only confirmed her thoughts.
Hearing his declaration so full of emotion brought tears to Kagome’s eyes. She couldn’t begin to explain the connection she felt with him. Every rational bone in her said she shouldn’t feel this way. Yet when he said and did things like this… she lost herself in him.
Pushing herself into his chest with their joined hands trapped between their bodies, she tucked her head under his chin. She wanted to be as close as she could get to him, seeking the warmth he both literally and figuratively offer her. Unable to find the right words to relay how much his own meant to her, she found herself simply whispering ‘thank you’ over and over.
InuYasha was on cloud 9 from the reaction he received from his heartfelt words. His demon’s lust didn’t even stir as she pressed herself into him, content with having pleased his wench so. As he felt her lips brush his chest with her whispered thanks, his free arm pulled her into him tightly in an embrace. He sat there for a while holding her intimately. Content having her so close in his arms.
Feeling the small yawn she gave against his chest reminded him of how little sleep she had got. He knew she had slept on and off throughout the night, but not nearly enough for her body to properly finish healing. Pulling back slightly, he smirked at the sight of her half-closed eyes. It humbled him how deep her faith ran for him. A human willingly falling asleep in the arms of a demon? A rare sight indeed.
“You need sleep.”
InuYasha spoke softly so as to not startle her in her half-asleep state. Having fully expected her to disentangle herself from him to lay on his kosode, he was stunned when she merely nodded against his chest and made no attempt at moving away from him.
He waited a moment more to see if she would move, but when she didn’t budge he thought perhaps she was simply too tired to move herself. So, gathering her up, he went to separate them and place her on his kosode himself.
Her small tired voice and two petite arms wrapping around his neck stopped him.
“Hold me?”
Her sleepy request, so sweet and innocent, filled him with a happy humming energy. He knew he couldn’t deny her, and was just thankful for the fact that his demon seemed to deem her rest more important than other activities.
Not bothering to reply, he laid over on his side with his arms snuggly around her. With her tucked into him like she was, InuYasha found he had never been more at peace. Especially while in his mostly demon state.
It didn’t take long for his wench to succumb completely to sleep. And while running his claws through her raven locks, he sighed contently as he felt his own eyes start to grow heavy.
Deciding he could use an hour or two of rest himself, he allowed his body to fully relax. Knowing he would wake before his sleeping beauty, he was already starting to plan what nourishments he would wake her to as sleep finally claimed him.

---

A few hours later Kagome slowly became aware of the world around her as she drifted up from her unconscious mind. The first thing she noticed was the lack of warm arms around her. Raising up, she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes as she looked around the empty cave.
She briefly wondered where InuYasha had wondered off too, but didn’t put too much thought into as she felt the sudden call of nature grab at her. Since she still felt a little woozy from all the strain her body had been through, she took her time pushing herself up off the ground; wanting to avoid falling again.
Careful not to put any weight on her swollen ankle, she turned herself so that her back was to the opening of the cave. She needed to tie the sleeves to InuYasha’s red suikan around her to give her some coverage. And Kagome really didn’t want to have her chest front and center should he walk in while she was adjusting the material around herself.
Maintaining her balance was difficult, she had to put all her weight on one leg while reaching back around herself to tie the long red sleeves together at her back. Unable to stop weaving back and forth, she thought at one point she may fall.
The warmth of two large hands on her shoulders steadying her brought a smile to her face. The deep taunting words that reached her, however, replaced her smile with a sigh of slight annoyance.
“Didn’t you learn your lesson the first-time wench?”
Turning to be face to face with her demon protector, a task much easier now with his assistance, Kagome gave him a small playful glare of her own.
“I’m not helpless you know. Besides… I really have to pee and you weren’t here.”
InuYasha loved the spunk in his wench. Although, as he watched a small blush flush across her cheeks at her admittance of needing to empty her bladder, he found it odd that she would be embarrassed over such a thing. Cute, but still odd.
Without a word he scooped her up in his arms and headed outside. A small smile touched him as he felt her hide her face in his hair as he carried her into the bright light of day. Her eyes were probably still sensitive from having just woke up and being inside a dimly lit cave.
Effortlessly he leaped over to a secluded area that would offer privacy for her to do her morning business. Setting her gently on her feet, he steadied her with his clawed hands on her waist allowing her time to be sure of her footing.
He had to fight back his demon’s possessive urges when she didn’t bat him away for touching her so intimately.
His attention was pulled back to her as she turned her face up towards his to give him an appreciative smile. When she murmured a small ‘thank you’ his reply was an indifferent ‘keh’.
Content to be able to continue holding her waist, he was happy to let silence settle down around them as they both just stood staring at one another. Comfortable with their proximity, his clawed fingers even started to move slightly up and down over her hips.
InuYasha felt as she started to get a little antsy. And as her blush grew more and she let out a little unsure ‘um’ he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to tease her. Lifting a brow at her, he spoke with his voice as serious as he could make it.
“Didn’t you need to pee?”
He couldn’t stop his gratifying smirk as her blush grew hotter and she sputtered her words at him.
“I’m not…. I’m not going with you watching! What’s wrong with you?! Go away! Shoo!”
His amusement only grew when at the end of her embarrassed rant the wench had started smacking at him and waving him off. A low chuckle left him as he turned and bounded off somewhere out of sight.
Kagome waited a moment listening for any signs that her pain-in-the-butt protector was still in the immediate area. She knew he was teasing her, but that didn’t stop her mild embarrassment. Thinking all was clear, she found a place to do her business and was just about to squat down when his voice startled her; calling out to her ‘don’t fall’ from somewhere unseen. She squinted her eyes in annoyance and mumbled out loud about ‘pesky dogs’.
Once she was done, she started to hobble in the direction that she had seen InuYasha disappear in. She didn’t even make it two steps before he reappeared in front of her, smirk still in place.
“Pesky dog taking care of your weak human ass.”
Kagome smiled genuinely at him as he gathered her up in his arms once more. Reaching up, she tweaked one of his adorable ears.
“And I can’t thank you enough.”
InuYasha’s demon stirred as her soft fingers made contact with his canine ears. He was quickly learning, that there apparently was a direct link from his ears to his dick. Somehow, without knowing it, the wench knew just where the switch was. Pulling his head back just enough to make the wench release her hold on his fuzzy appendage, his face was set in a scowl. It was quickly getting annoying having to fight down his demonic urges with her. He found himself constantly reminding his demon half that she was human and didn’t understand.
Walking forward at a leisurely pace he was in no hurry as he carried his delicate cargo back in the direction of the cave. The meat he was cooking shouldn’t be done for a while, but he still gave a small sniff to make sure it wasn’t burning. Deciding it was good for a bit longer, he made a detour towards the nearby river.
Kagome was silent in InuYasha’s arms, simply taking in all the beauty the forest had to offer. Without all the noise and pollution of her time, the forest really was a scene from a fairytale. Glancing up at her protectors’ cute doggy ears, she held back a giggle.
‘Complete with fairytale creatures.’
Gradually the sound of water started to reach her ears and caused her to smile. After the crazy day she had had yesterday she could really use a bath! She grew even more excited when she finally caught sight of the slow running water. Neither she nor InuYasha, to her knowledge, had any soap but just to rinse all of the dried blood and mud off of her would be amazing!
As InuYasha walked right up to the water’s edge she started to get a little worried he planned on just walking them both out into the water’s current clothes and all. However, as he sat her down, allowing her ankles to dip into the water her worry was put to rest. She winced some as the cold water engulfed her swollen ankle, an odd combination of both stinging and making her abused flesh feel better.
“Thought your ankle could use a cold soak for the swelling.”
InuYasha’s deep voice caused her to smile up at him and gazing up into amber-red eyes, Kagome was once again mesmerized with how gentle they were. At first glance, they appeared to be evil and demonic. Which given InuYasha’s blood she supposed they came by demonic naturally.
To her though, they were the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. Especially on the rare occasions that she had seen them in their natural state shining a pure golden honey…
“Thank you InuYasha”
InuYasha nodded as he turned to go check on the meal he was preparing for his wench. His demon extremely pleased with how well he was providing for her.
“Let it soak a while longer, I’ll be right back.”
Before he could leap off into the trees, however, Kagome’s voice stopped him. Her words causing his demon’s pleased state to sour.
“Take your time please! I would really like to wash up while you’re gone.”
Kagome was confused when InuYasha turned back to her with a stern look on his face, his once content mood gone without a trace. His commanding voice further puzzling her, but also causing her own mood to go south.
“No.”
At his command, she tried to stay collected as her temper spiked slightly with indignation. Because surely, he wasn’t trying to boss her around in such a way? Wanting to give him the benefit of a doubt, she nicely pushed the issue further.
“No? Why ‘no’?”
InuYasha’s demon didn’t like how his wench was talking back to him and questioning his decision. He was alpha and he was watching out for her best interest. Didn’t she realize that by now? Apparently not since he had to explain himself to her.
“That water’s too cold. You’ll get sick if you fully emerge yourself in it.”
Having thought that explaining his reasoning would be a sufficient answer, he was taken back when she still pressed the matter.
“I won’t get sick. Besides I need to wash all this gunk off!”
Amber-red eyes narrowing at her persistence, InuYasha turned completely to tower over his wench and assert his dominance. Arms crossed over his bare chest he looked down at her with authority and dropped his voice a level.
“I said no.”
Taking in his authoritative posture, Kagome didn’t back down. Somewhere in the back of her mind she knew she was playing with fire, but the independent side of her trampled that thought down. She tried to keep in mind that he was trying to be sweet and look after her, he was just going about it all the wrong way.
“InuYasha I appreciate everything you have done for me. I really do. But you are not the boss of me.”
Brows scrunching together, InuYasha’s demon really didn’t like his wench challenging his authority. Staring down at her, however, he couldn’t deny how damn cute she looked trying to match him glare for glare.
Looking pass her scowl he focused on the unhealthy shade of pale her skin still was and the ugly bruise on her face that stood as a reminder of what all her body had been through. Slowly, his glare morphed into a dark mischief smirk as an idea came to him. When he spoke this time, his tone was calm and calculated.
“Alright. You want to get yourself sick bathing with cold water? Fine.”
He paused for a moment, purposely letting his wench think she had won their little spat. And as her face started to relax and the beginning of a smile reached her lips, he hit her with his ultimatum.
“But… you have to eat more liver tonight wench.”
InuYasha took deep satisfaction out of her reaction to hearing his words. He was full of smugness as he watched her face express how disgusting the idea was to her. It was a win-win for him. Either the wench would take the deal; bath in the cold water, but get much needed iron from eating liver. Or in order to avoid eating the iron rich organ, she would skip bathing in cold water where she would be running the risk of getting sick.
As she scowled back up at him, clearly not liking her options, his grin just continued to get wider. To the point of one of his sharp fangs even stuck out to mock her.
“Well?”
Kagome sighed. She knew InuYasha was only looking out for her best interests, but still… did he have to be so dominate in the way he handled things? She decided that she could compromise. She really didn’t wish to see which of them could be more stubborn, because she had a feeling there would be no winners in that match. When she responded to him, her voice was dripping in annoyance.
“Fine… I’ll eat your nasty liver… but you have to cook it this time!”
InuYasha’s demon was content with this. He still didn’t like her taking a dip in the cold water with fall so close in the air. But he figured he could just rush her back to the cave to dry out next to the fire.
Sniffing the air, he was greeted with the wonderful aroma of cooked meat filling his nose. Smirking down at his wench, he yelled out to her as he bounded off.
“Better hurry! Or else I might come back to see something you don’t want.”
The startled ‘eep’ he heard leave her from behind him had his smirk widening into a full-blown smile. He figured threatening the wench with him possibly seeing her completely nude would help speed her up.
Kagome rushed to disrobe and emerge herself in the cold water. She thought InuYasha was only teasing her again, but she really didn’t want to test him. Bracing herself for the cold, she ducked her head under and began to vigorously rub her skin all over. Well except for her swollen ankle and the right side of her face which were still sore from the nasty bruise she had been given. Those two areas she was a little gentler with.
Coming up for a quick gulp of air, she went back under to give her hair the same rough treatment. The entire time she couldn’t help but to wish she had soap. Feeling she was as clean as she was going to get without any, she broke to the surface once more.
Wading over to where she had left her clothes, she quickly grabbed her bra and panties to give them a quick scrub as well. Satisfied when she felt that they were both remotely clean, she went to reach for InuYasha’s suikan to have ready to wrap around herself as soon as she got out.
When she didn’t see it anywhere, Kagome looked around baffled. She was just fixing to stand to get out of the frigid water and continue her search, when InuYasha’s voice reached her ears. Quickly she sank back into the water neck deep at hearing his deep voice taunting her from the trees above.
“Are you trying to drown yourself wench?”
Arms covering her chest she glared up at his smirking face, her own on fire from embarrassment. She found herself mentally cursing him and more than slightly wishing she had something to throw at him.
‘Damn his demonic speed!’
Before she could open her mouth to yell at him though, he was directly in front of her. Sweetly holding out his suikan with it opened so she could quickly get wrapped up inside its warm. Kagome didn’t move from her spot, however, eyeing his smirking face suspiciously. She watched as he rolled his eyes only to shut them and turn his head away.
Figuring that was the best she was going to get in preserving her modesty, she shot up out of the water as fast as she could with her injured ankle. Running into his warm suikan, she couldn’t help but to smile as his arms immediately wrapped her up in it.
Pushing her arms through the slits at the top, she took comfort in feeling InuYasha tie the sleeves at her back. It was amazing how he was so doting with her, yet such a pain at the same time. She figured it was his own special talent.
Once he had finished tying the sleeves at her back and she was significantly “dressed”, she bent down to gather her wet under garments. She thought she heard InuYasha let out a growl, but after standing she didn’t hear anything else so she didn’t give it too much thought. Besides that, she was starting to get pretty cold and was absolutely ready to return back to the cave where a warm fire was waiting for her. Turning to give him a small smile and ask that they head back, she was hardly able to accomplish such a simple task as she started to shiver.
InuYasha barely caught the growl that left him when his wench had bent over. Until this point, he truly hadn’t seen anything to cause his demon to stir. He just couldn’t resist making the wench think he had. Yet when she bent over, her ass presented him, he felt the stirrings of his demons’ carnal lust.
So, when his wench turned to him shivering, he gave mental sigh of relief that his demons’ protective nature for her over ruled his lust. Swiftly scooping her up in his arms, he had her back to their cave in no time.
He sat with her on his lap as close to the fire as he could get. With his hands rubbing up and down her arms rapidly trying to assist the fire in warming her. Thinking back to his earlier concern, he gently scolded her.
“You better not get sick wench.”
Kagome leaned her wet head against his chest, content and comfortable with the warmth she was receiving. She smiled when InuYasha ‘scolded’ her, truly touched by how much he seemed to care.
“I won’t.”
Slowing his movements down to a stop once he felt she was warmed up, InuYasha simply held her for a moment. He had more that he needed to get done today; he needed to replace the furs for their bedding, start gathering up needed supplies, and bring in more firewood from his slaughter trees.
Yet he couldn’t pull himself away from the moment he found himself in with his wench. It was indeed remarkable how she could calm his inner demon so easily and at the same time set him on edge.
Hearing the small growl her stomach gave pulled him from his thoughts. And remembering the agreement that he had trapped her into, he smirked. His wench needed to eat… and he already had the perfect meal cooked for her.
Delighting in teasing her, his voice was smooth as he broke the mood and he took extreme pleasure in reminding her of what she had agreed too.
“Now… about that deal.”
