Pulling Her Down

by: aishiteru_inu

Previous Chapter:

“InuYasha,” she murmured, and her only response was of him saying, “Ummmm?”

“I--I didn’t know that I… had so many places for you to take care of.”

His hand pressed upon her back a bit more, afraid to answer her, afraid that any moment she was going to pull away.

That one statement sent so many thoughts racing through his mind at that moment, yet none of them made clear sense. He didn’t care. He didn’t want to have to make sense to any of it. The only thing he wanted was to concentrate on what he was doing right then.

He moved his lips upward against the beating pulse of her throat, until they came to the line of her jaw. He nuzzled her gently until she tilted her head enough that he could follow her jaw line from underneath, to her chin. From there, he lifted his head and placed a light lingering kiss at the corner of her mouth, and then he drew back from her.

InuYasha kept his gaze purposely upon her mouth for he knew that if he looked into her eyes, he wouldn’t be able to hide it. He knew that it couldn‘t help but show in his gaze because his eyes were giving off an unfamiliar warmth. It, once again, made him afraid of what her reaction would be once she saw; once she knew.

He could feel her gentle breath upon his face as he continued to take in the petal softness of her skin, the blush of her lips, and the fragrance of sakura blossoms along with the enticing smell of sweet musk.

Slowly,dingding the hand that he still held captive by the wrist to his chest, he pressed it against him to let her feel the rapid rhythm of his heart beating against her palm. Releasing her wrist, he left it up to her to keep it there… or not.

Raising his hand the few inches that it took to reach her face, he soothed the skin across her cheek with the back of his curled fingers, then carefully threading them through her hair to cup the back side of her head. The two of them were already so close together that it wouldn’t be much of an effort to completely bring his body in contact with hers. He knew he shouldn’t. He knew it, yet he couldn’t stop himself, and with a minimal of shifts, the front length of his body was against her.

The contact sent a searing jolt through him, which instantly caused his gaze to lift to hers. Through the hazy warmth of his eyes, InuYasha tried to search hers to see if there was any flicker of rejection from what he just did, and was further stunned when he found there wasn’t. In fact, Kagome sat staring back at him with the same kind of dazed look that mirrored his own.

Deep golden eyes dropped from the rich darkness of hers, back to the soft roundness of her mouth, which InuYasha found himself being drawn to. Pressing his lips against hers, he lingered only mere seconds before he withdrew, trying to bring his gaze back to hers as he did so but found that the lids were too heavy to lift anymore than halfway. His lips moved to say her name, but his voice was so hushed that the sound barely even issued forth.

The girl in his arms did not try to move away, nor did she say a word to object; even if she had at that moment, he wouldn’t have heard it, for the blood that surged through his body carried the heavy rhythmic pounding of his heart within it. A soft moaning growl managed to rise up and escape from his throat just before he captured her mouth with his; lips melting to mold perfectly against hers.

As hers parted, his tongue that had so lavished her cuts slipped in between and sought to caress all that was within. This time it wasn’t the gentle tenderness as before. No, he kissed her with an ardency of a man fighting to cling to an illusion that he knew just couldn’t be true and would disappear at any moment.

Between his hands and his mouth, Kagome was d agd against him without a chance to escape even had she wanted to. It was a heady sensation as she reveled in the demanding, yet buttery softness of his lips -- a sharp contrast to the hard strength that was InuYasha. The touch of his tongue against hers went beyond anything she could ever imagine as he stroked and swirled about it. The taste of him in her mouth, the smell of his skin and breath, made her senses skyrocket. Her hands grasped at the material beneath them, then relaxed to be able to slid them upward, finding their way around his neck to hold herself against him, or perhaps to hold him closer.

The movement of her arms gliding across his shoulders made him aware that the illusion was not going to disappear any time soon, and InuYasha relaxed the assault of her mouth and changed to a more sensual exploration of it instead. In doing so, he gained the added pleasure of feeling Kagome mimicking the caresses upon him, bestowing subtle strokes of her own over the r flr flesh and teeth of his mouth.

InuYasha broke contact, only to recapture her mouth in a different way as he teased her bottom lip, nipping at it, before drawing it gently into his mouth where he licked and sucked the soft fleshy skin. Yet that only satisfied him for a short bit as he grew hungry for the taste of her from within, and he released the ravished lip to lay claim to her mouth in another achingly sweet kiss.

His hand wandered over the back of her body. Unable to find the hem of her shirt because of his haori that she still wore, he moved his hand around the side of her until he found the opening between their clothing. Sliding his hand back around her, he quickly found the bottom edge of her shirt, which easily gave him access to the bare skin he had been searching for. Careful that he did not do anymore damage with his claws, he touched her with arched fingertips.

As she trembled in response, he released a heavy breath, which fanned against her face in heated unsteady waves, and a gentle vibrating growl was drawn from deep within his throat.

With heady confidence, Kagome reasoned that he wasn’t the only one able to tease, and she began to emulated his actions with those of her own. But the first time she drew away, intent on capturing his lip as he had done to her, InuYasha held onto her. A small whimper was drawn out of him as he thought he would have to let go.

“No,” he murmured in a husky plea pressing his lips against her mouth, “Not yet.”

His hand became bolder, gliding up her side, over her ribs, only to return against her back to rub teasing strokes across her shoulders blades.

Kagome felt entitled to do as much, and her own hands became more than willingly mobile. Up over his neck, she threaded her fingers into the wildness of his snowy white hair, gripping handfuls of it, yet she did not settle long with that. Her purpose was set upon another destination. One that she had, for a long time, yearned for.

The hanyou, which feasted himself upon her mouth, was too intoxicated with her to be aware of anything she might do, until he felt her fingers clasp him at the base of both ears. Her fingers curled against the soft outer part, as her thumbs pressed against the silky inner part.

*********************

Kagome knew that he was easily upset about having them touched, but she did not realize just why he had always been so objectingly reluctant to have them bothered with… until now. Until, with a gasp, his body slightly jerked and he drew away from her mouth; he kept his eyes close, but he did not shake her away to avoid her touch. In fact, he lowered his head just a bit.

Upward her fingers moved, in whispering circular motion, and within the heavy breaths, a choked whimper issued forth, which caused him to bite into his bottom lip. He kept his golden eyes hidden beneath the splay of lashes against his cheeks, oblivious of the liquid chocolate eyes that drank in the emotional response he had to her touch.

Sooo… this was why he wouldn’t let anyone bother with his ears! They were a sensitive spot for him, which had him melting into a persons hands! A warm smile graced her lips as she gazed at the exquisite, yet wanton, angelic face marred only by the tips of his fangs.

*********************

Lowering his head more, InuYasha touched his forehead to hers. He was still for a moment, taking in the blissfulness of her touch, then he gently rubbed ast hst her there; his nose brushing along over hers.

Nuzzling her face, he splayed light kisses against wherever his lips found to touch, be it her eyes, or cheeks, or the top of her nose. And as she continued the assault, working her magic across the width of the triangular appendages and all the way to the tips, he issued another small whimper. Was this heaven? And if it wasn’t, he didn’t care.

The sensations didn’t stop any timon eon either, as she opened her fingers and laid them full length down over the backside of his ears. Lightly she began to scratch him there as well, raking her fingernails against the base and the surrounding area of his head as well. She drew her nails up over the furry cartilage side as her thumb slide upward on the inside. He choked out a coarse groan, as his lips became more feverish, capturing her mouth once more in a brief branding, before he made a trail across her cheek and down the other side of her neck that he had not given any attention to before. His move did not accommodate her to continue the play with his ears, but that was beyond caring at the moment.

With the hand at the back of her head, InuYasha tilted her head to the side, exposing the length of her throat to his demanding lips. Every breath he took, only caused him to draw in more of her heated scent, which was driving him even more. His mouth found the juncture of her neck and he kissed and licked her there. He even opened his mouth against her allowing his fangs to tease her skin. It would only take a moment and she would be his forever, just a bite, just a mark; that’s all it would take to brand her as his.

“You can’t do that to her.”

“She doesn’t know. She hasn’t agreed.”

“Kagome,” his voice was muffled as his mouth had moved against the beating pulse of her throat, but whatever it was that he was about to say, was quickly forgotten as he felt her lips -- still mimicking his -- upon the beating pulse of his own throat. The newer sudden sensation caused him to lift his mouth away from her in surprise. His mouth stayed partially open, as his eyes flew open wide.

What was this? This was… This was… Gods, is this what it felt like when he had been doing it to her? It was… beyond words to describe as the tiny little shock waves rushed from the touch of her lips, or nip of her teeth, downward, making his entire body temperature rise even higher. It didn’t help when she ran her own tongue down the length of his throat to end in a kiss right in the center dip of his collar bone.

A muffled gasp escaped him, and he felt a warmth that radiated down through his body. He felt so hot! He felt like he was burning up and the clothes he had on were a nuisance. Leaning himself away from her, as hands worked furiously on the white undershirt to quickly jerk the offending piece of clothing from his body. Once freed from it, he gave a soften growl and came up against her so hard, he nearly toppled them over. But with quick shifts of his legs, he managed to continue the downward descent to the ground. With another low growl, he captured her mouth once more with his as his hands found hers; entwining their fingers together as he held them against the earth.

Several moment later InuYasha broke free of their kiss. His face was melting with the heady feeling as he gazed down into the chocolate rich irises of hers glinting with sparks of silver from the moon’s light. Kami, she was so beautiful. She was the reason that he felt so alive. She was the reason that he was truly alive. Somehow, she came through the darkness that had engulfed him and guided him into the light, away from the emptiness, away from the pa The There were times when he had rushed back to throw himself into that darkness again, but Kagome… she saved him in more ways than one.

*********************

As the moon happened to be behind him just over his shoulder, Kagome could not see his face quite as clearly as he did hers, yet the light illuminated his white mane and ears, giving him a silvery halo about him.

InuYasha. He was… beautiful, even in his rough, sort-of-wild way. There was so much to him that was amazing. She didn’t care if he wasn’t full demon. She didn’t care if he wasn’t all human either. She didn’t fault him for it, nor did she think him less in either. Being a hanyou made him unique both in character and looks, encompassing strengths of two worlds not just one. She fell in love him. InuYasha. As he was. Who he was.

*********************

Once again, InuYasha leaned down against her lips, kissing them lightly a couple times before deepening the kiss. She responded in kind allowing him to slip his tongue within her mouth where hers was waiting to caress it again. It was a languid gentle kiss, all roughness of doubt gone.

Relaxing the grip he had upon her fingers, he slid his hands to cup either side of her head.

“Kagome,” he murmured once more against her lips just before pulling up to gaze down into her face, giving her a sleepy drugged-like smile. His body shook lighlight tremors coursing through him. She felt so good beneath him, his body pressed down upon her, the heat their bodies mingling together. He knew beyond a shadow of a doubt why it bothered him to see her hurt, to see her cry. He knew the answer, which he had toyed with earlier, as to what she meant to him.

“Kagome,” his voice was softly deep. “ai shi….”

Then it happened. Both of them felt it.

InuYasha froze, not even finishing what he was about to say. Kagome’s reactions was pretty much the same. Their eyes grew a bit wider as they stared at each other; the euphoric smiles that had tenderly graced their lips slightly waned. Neither one moved even to take a breath, and then it happened again. The stirring sensation of something hard surging between them down there against their lower extremities. The look of horrid desperation flooded InuYasha’s face, as heat burned his cheeks, yet he couldn’t seem to make himself get off her.

Closing his eyes tightly shut, he bit down upon his bottom lip, which showed most clearly his fanged canines against his chin. He looked as if he was in pain as another wave went though him and, unthinkingly to stop it, he pressed his hips against her with straining muscles. As soon as he did that, his reaction was nearly that of someone getting doused with cold water. His eyes sprang open, even wider than before and a gasp escaped his now parted lips. All he could do was stare down at the girl beneath him; waiting in desperate fear for her to recoil from him at any moment.

“I-Inu-Yasha,” she murmured quietly and slowly as if to insure he understood what she was going to say. “W-We need to stop. We need to get u-up now. I-If we don‘t…“

She didn’t need to finish as InuYasha drew himself up and sat himself back on his butt. He, as well, already knew the direction their actions were taking them.

He looked down toward the ground and off to the side, not able to meet her eyes right then. He had let things get a little too carried away…

‘A little?’ his subconscious chimed in. ‘Seems like getting laid out on the ground is a far cry away from hoping she’d even have anything to do with you again, let alone look at you!’
