Times Change
Chapter 7
They were married in the Higurashi living room by candlelight. According to Kagome, it
was a traditional Shinto wedding ceremony blended with the Western custom of exchanging
rings. She wore her mother's kimono and carried a small purse-style sack and a small, encased
sword. A fan was tucked within the tie of her obi. The gradual widening of the open fan implied
happiness, and thus a happy future–again, according to Kagome.
Her grandfather performed the ceremony. The couple was purified. Both he and
Kagome took three sips from a cup of sake. He read something called the words of commitment,
then they exchanged rings. They were then given twigs from the God Tree to offer up to the
kami, the Shinto gods.
"Are we married yet?" InuYasha placed his twigs at the foot of the shrine.
Kagome added her twigs to the pile. "We are now," she smiled. "We just have the
reception left."
"Reception?"
"Food," she said simply. "Then my family will offer their blessings, and we can turn in
for the night." She linked arms with him as they made their way into the kitchen and took a seat
at the head of the table.
"To the honored bride and groom," Sota lifted his glass. "I can legitimately call you
'brother' now.”
Everyone lifted their glasses and took a drink, except InuYasha. Kagome nudged him in
the ribs. "Take a drink," she whispered. "Anytime anyone gives a toast, you're supposed to take
a drink."
"Oh," he lifted his glass and took a drink. "This stuff is terrible," he told her.
"It's part of the tradition," she said.
"Well," her grandfather said, "I never thought I'd live to see the day where I'd be
welcoming a half-demon into the family, but times change, and I guess I have to change with
them, so . . . welcome to the family, grandson."
"Here, here," Kagome said.
Everyone drank.
Sota snickered into his glass.
"Something wrong, Sota?" Kagome asked.
"Well, soon we'll be welcoming quarter demons into the family, eh, Grandpa?"
Kagome blushed. Her mother muffled her own laughter.
InuYasha leaned over to her. "Should I be drinking to that?" he asked.
She took the fan from her obi and rapped him on the shoulder.
"What!"
Everyone laughed. Mrs. Higurashi stood to make a toast. "I've always had the utmost
faith in Kagome's ability to choose the right thing to do no matter how dire the situation.
Whether it has to do with life or love or school, I've always trusted her instincts . . . And she has
yet to let me down." She smiled at her daughter. "I've never been prouder to call you 'daughter,'
Kagome, and I'm even prouder to call you 'son,' InuYasha. If there's a more perfect match, I
haven't seen it."
"Mom . . ."
She raised her glass higher. "So, here's to the happy couple. May their union be long and
fruitful, and filled with more laughter than tears."
"Here, here," Sota said.
"I'll drink to that," her grandfather said.
InuYasha took a drink. "Kagome, you're not drinking."
She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, raised her glass and finished off the sake
in her cup.
"And you two better visit as often as you can," Mrs. Higurashi warned. "I want to know
everything about your life on that side of the well. Where you're staying, how your training's
coming along, how those friends of yours are doing . . . I won't settle for anything less than a full
report."
Kagome nodded. "You've got it, Mom."
"Well," her mother said, "let's finish off Eri's leftover wedding cake, then call it a night.
It's almost midnight."
They finished eating, then Kagome tugged on his sleeve. "C'mon, InuYasha. The bride
and groom always retire before the guests."
He rose to his feet; she followed suit. "Good night, everybody," she waved.
InuYasha felt a bit beside himself. Obviously, he should say something after everything
they'd said, everything they'd done. But what? What was the best thing to say?
He cleared his throat and rubbed his nose. "Thanks for being so kind," he finally said.
"Nonsense," Mrs. Higurashi said. "You're family, now. How did you expect us to
behave?"
She tugged at his sleeve again. "Come on, InuYasha. Good night, again," Kagome
waved.
They made their way upstairs to Kagome's old room. "You go on in," she said. "I've got
a little surprise for you."
"Surprise?" he raised an eyebrow.
She pushed him into the room. "Just go in and wait for me."
He laid his sword on top of her desk and took a seat on her bed. How long had it been
since he'd been in here? How many nights had they spent together here? Him on the floor, her
in the bed? How many times had he wanted to join her?
He laughed to himself.
Her family was really being quite nice about everything. Letting her go her own way.
Not complaining about school or how long she'd be gone . . . They even seemed happy to
welcome him into their family . . . And how long had he waited for that? How long had he
waited for someone to accept him, exactly how he was?
There was a knock at the door. "Are you ready?" she asked.
"Ready for what?" he asked.
She pushed the door open and stepped inside, closing the door behind her. "Whatta you
think?" she asked.
"What're you wearing?" he laughed.
She spun around and sashayed towards the bed. "It's my old, middle school uniform,"
she said. "It was the one that was kinda stained and my mom had to stitch up. I found it in the
attic while I was going through some old things." She smoothed out the creases in her skirt. "It
doesn't really fit any more. I couldn't get the zipper all the way up in the back. The shirt's a little
tight, and the skirt's now obscenely short . . . I don't even know why I'm wearing it."
"Nostalgia, maybe?"
"Maybe," she shrugged. "And look." She showed him her back. "I've even got my bow
and arrows. No outfit is complete without it."
He laughed to himself. "Why don't you come over here?" he asked.
"What for?" she asked, innocently. "You can see me fine while I'm right over here."
He gave her a wicked grin. "Because I'd like to do more than see."
She backed away from him with a teasing smile. "Now, hold on there, InuYasha." She
hiccuped. "Just because we're married now doesn't mean I have to submit myself to your 'base'
desires."
He rose to his feet. "It doesn't?"
"I've really had a little too much sake." She continued to back away from him. "Now,
don't get any funny ideas. I'm armed, you know." She'd run out of space. Her back was to the
door.
"Armed?" he laughed.
She drew her bow and an arrow from behind her back. "Armed," she repeated.
"Put that away."
She shook her head. "Back on the bed," she gestured with the tip of the arrow.
He raised his hands and edged his way back towards the bed. "You're really asking for it,
you know?"
"I know," she smiled.
"Just whatta you think you're doing, anyway?" He sat down on the edge of the bed.
She took a stance in front of him, the arrow still pointed at his heart. "Well, I thought it
was pretty obvious." She tossed her bow and arrow to the side and straddled him. "I intend to
have my way with you."
"Is that so?" he asked.
She stroked the tips of his ears. "You know it is."
He sighed and nuzzled his nose against her neck. "You know there's something I have to
do now, right?"
"What's that?" she continued to massage the inside and outside of his ears.
"I have to mark you."
"Mark me?" she laughed. "What's that?"
He breathed hotly against the flesh of her neck. "You humans have your wedding
traditions; we demons have our mating rituals."
"'Mating rituals?'" she laughed. "Like on one of those wildlife shows?"
He caressed her lower back and trailed wet kisses along the side of her neck. "Something
like that."
She leaned into him. "So, exactly, what're you going to do to me?"
"Just a little love bite," he said.
"You're going to BITE me?" she laughed. "You've never tried that before."
He licked her exposed collarbone. "I was restraining myself."
"Now, that's a word I haven't heard you use in awhile. 'Restraint.'"
He continued to kiss her neck as he slid his hands up and down her back.
She sighed breathily. "That's nice, InuYasha . . ." She could feel the bulge in his lap
growing between her parted thighs. "What does it mean?" she asked. "If you mark me?"
"No other man can touch you," he said. "You'll be mine for life. Mates for life." He
nipped at her neck.
"I'd like that," she said. "Bonded together in both worlds. Mine and yours."
"Then you'll let me?" he asked.
"Of course," she tilted her head to the side. "You wear my ring; I wear your mark."
He sank his fangs into her neck and lapped up the issuing blood.
She drew in a sharp breath, then let it out. The keen pinch of his fangs coupled with the
warm wetness of his tongue sent a scintillating sensation through her spine. It gave her as much
pleasure as it did pain, and it seemed to have quite an effect on InuYasha as well. She pushed
the hair back from his face and kissed him, tasting her blood on his lips. "Why didn't you ever
do that before?"
He smiled at her. "Didn't feel I had the right to before. I always felt like I had to share
you with everyone else."
She kissed him again. "My husband . . "
"My mate . . .."
He ran his hands along her bare thighs. "And how can I service my lovely mate tonight?"
She pressed her hips against him. "Whatever strikes your fancy." She undid the tie at his
waist. "You know you never give me cause to complain."
He kissed her and eased her back on the mattress, positioning himself slightly off to her
side.
"Take this off," she pulled at the hem of his coat.
"You first," he pulled at the hem of her shirt.
She sat up and smiled as he continued to recline against her pillow. "Let's have a race,
then. First one undressed gets to be on top."
"You're gonna cheat," he said.
"How am I gonna cheat?"
"I'm sure you'll find some way," he said.
She straddled him across his waist and wriggled out of her top.
"See?" he said. "Cheating."
She opened his top at the neckline and kissed her way down his neck to the center of his
chest. "You're so warm, InuYasha." She pushed his garments farther open and slid them down
his shoulders.
"This feels familiar," he said.
"I should hope so," she covered his chest and shoulders with wet kisses, taking a moment
to nibble at his neck and stroke the tips of his ears.
He closed his eyes to better enjoy the feel of her on top of him. The heat from her body,
the softness of her skin, the gentleness of her touch. "I remember the first time you did this."
"Oh yeah?" she laughed. "When was that?"
"Yura of the Hair," he said.
"I did not!" she said, sounding somewhat incredulous. "I could barely stand you back
then, and you certainly didn't like me much."
He stared up at her. "I liked you." He sent his hand beneath her skirt and stroked her
bottom. "Especially when you climbed on top of me and started ripping off my clothes."
She smacked his hand away. "I thought you were hurt, you moron."
He ran his hands up her bare back and pulled her in for a kiss. "I was. Just not in the
way you think."
She pressed her body flat against his and let him take his enjoyment in her. He kissed her
face and neck, licked at her earlobes, slipped his hand down the back of her panties.
The smell of her penetrated his nostrils. The warm dampness of her intimate area excited
him. The feel of her opening and contracting around his digits. Her fragrant moisture forming
on his fingertips . . . He had a rampant erection, and he knew exactly what to do with it.
"InuYasha . . ."
He rolled over on top of her and removed her panties.
"Hurry . . ."
He pulled his clothes the rest of the way off, pushed her skirt up past her waist, and
entered her in one fluid stroke.
She moaned softly and wrapped her legs around him.
"Kagome . . ."
She kissed his forehead and moved her hips against his.
He began slowly, sheathing himself within her up to the hilt, withdrawing and advancing.
Thrusting and retreating. Pulling it out to the lips, pushing it in to the mouth. His hands at her
sides; her hands gripping his arms.
"Mmmm . . ." she wet her lower lip.
He moved to his elbows, unfastened the front clasp of her bra and suckled at her breasts.
She cradled his head in her arms, fondling his left ear with her right hand. "The way you
make me feel, InuYasha . . ."
He kissed her swollen nipple. "It's mutual," he said.
She squeezed her eyes shut and pressed her head flat against the bed, arching her body
against him. He grasped her legs behind the knees and picked up his pace, plying her from a
kneeling position. He listened as her breaths became shallower, quicker, the flush about her face
deepening, tiny beads of sweat forming on the surface of her skin.
"InuYasha . . ." her head rolled listlessly to the side. "Shall we make a boy . . . or a girl
this time?"
He laughed to himself, sweat now forming on his own brow. "What would you like?"
"A boy," she said. "A boy just like his father . . ."
He tensed his jaw and fought back his release. "Kagome . . ."
She worked her hips against him. "Will you . . . give me a son, InuYasha?"
He was very close now. His palms were slick, his muscles tense and straining.
She pushed herself upright and kissed his parted lips, slipping her tongue past his teeth.
His breath caught. He dropped her legs and sank down to a seated position, pulling her into his
lap. Her body was so warm, her skin so soft and fragrant. He inhaled the scent of her hair as she
wrapped herself around him.
"InuYasha . . ." she pulled his head down and licked the inside of his ear.
"Ka–Kagome . . ."
She continued to suck at his ear as he bounced her up and own . . . Harder . . . Faster . . .
Deeper . . .. His girth filling her only the way he could.
"Ahh! Ahhh . . .ohhhhh . . ." She dug her nails into his back and wiggled her hips against
him. "By the gods, InuYasha!"
He continued to ride the wave of her orgasm till he felt her womb open and contract,
shutting tight on him, bringing about his own spend.
She collapsed onto his shoulder and held him close. "Kaede knew from the beginning,
didn't she?"
He drew in a couple of deep breaths before he could speak. "Methinks you two like each
other . . . more than you're willing to admit."
She scratched the top of his head with a laugh. "That was a BAD impersonation of her."
He kissed the side of her neck, the place where he'd marked her. "I know . . . I'll get back
in practice starting tomorrow."
She let him caress and cradle her, running his fingers through her damp hair. "This will
probably be our last quiet night together," she said.
He continued to enjoy the feel of her in his lap–the gentle pressure on his thighs, her head
on his shoulder. "And why's that?"
"Meeting up with everyone again. Finding a place to stay. Me, starting my training; you,
demon-hunting. I just don't see us spending many quiet nights alone."
He laughed to himself. "We found time before."
"And I'm pretty sure somebody was WATCHING all those times."
He held her more closely. "It doesn't matter," he said. "We're together; that's what
matters."
She grinned ear-to-ear.
"Did I finally say something right?" he asked.
"Yes. Yes, you did."
"And you said times change; people don't," he scoffed. "I'm changing. I'm learning . . .
Just give me a little more time."
She reached down and turned the ring on his finger. "We've got all the time in the world
in, now."
He stroked the place where he'd marked her. "Yeah. Yeah, we do."
She yawned. "I think it's time we turned in," she said. "We'll be too tired to get up in the
morning. My mom's making a goodbye breakfast."
They stretched out on the bed side-by-side. "I really like your family, Kagome."
"And why shouldn't you?" she asked. "You're part of it, now." She kissed him, then
curled up at his side, closing her eyes.
"Good night, Kagome . . ."
"Good night," she whispered.
"Love you."
She opened her eyes and smiled at him. "I love you, too." She yawned and pulled the
covers over top of them. "Now, shut up so I can get some sleep."
What? "Are you--"
"I'm tired, InuYasha."
This seemed all too familiar. "Feh, this place really does make you bitchy . . . Tomorrow
when--"
"I'm counting to three," she said. "And if you haven't settled down, I'll pick that bow and
arrow up and 'seal' your mouth shut the miko way."
"I'm settling down . . . geez . . . you're the one who got me so worked up." He folded his
arms across his chest and closed his eyes.
He opened an eye when he sensed something hovering over him. "Kagome?"
She bent down and licked his ear. "We can sleep tomorrow night . . . You have to learn
how to take a joke."
They made love again and again, finally collapsing into a blissful embrace and a peaceful
slumber that lasted until the sun came up.
In the morning, they gathered their things, ate their farewell meal, and exchanged well-wishes. Their family watched and waved as they jumped into the well to begin their new life in
the olden days.
