InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ A deal with a demon ❯ Chapter 9

Inuyasha had come to the conclusion that the wench had high tailed it back home, but exactly where was the problem. He didn't know much about her, but he knew that she wouldn't have gone back to her mothers. The damned woman seemed hell bent on pleasing her, so he doubted she would have returned back there before the weekend was up.

So she must be at a friends place.

Damn, he didn't know anything about her friends. He had met the woman, Mango? But fuck if he knew where she lived.

The best thing to do now was to head back to his condo and figure it out from there. He'd been married for only a few hours and already he had a headache.

Why the hell did she have to walk in then? And Kikyo-

He felt a growl rise in his chest.

What the fuck was she doing? Trying to stake a claim? Its not like she ever gave a damn before about who he screwed or what he did.

She was interested in the title of being his girlfriend, the perks that came with it. She was wealthy on her own and wanted nothing from him.

The only thing she could gain was the notoriety of dating a demon. All the money in the world could not change the fact that she was born a human.

But the woman was smart enough to know that to stay by his side, he needed his space. He had to be able to run free, go where he wanted to go. And he figured the same was true for her as well.

But when she came into the hotel room ready to jump his bones…

He was aware it was a power play. He had only mentioned that he was getting married to her offhandedly. Hell, she was going to hear about it anyway. He wouldn't have said anything if he would have thought she would show up on his fucking honeymoon.

Heh, honeymoon.

Its not like he was going to get laid by his new little wife this weekend or anything. What did the wench expect? That his sex life was going to screech to a halt because they tied the knot?

No, he didn't think she was that naïve. Hell, she probably didn't care what the heck he did or with who.

But it was damn rude what he did. Even the hanyou knew that

Up until that point…Things were going…. Alright with Kagome.

Fuck. The dog demon had to get this wench out of his head. He would find her and-

Well, he hadn't thought what he was going to do beyond the initial finding her part. But he knew he was going to let her have it… whatever it was…

Inuyasha ran his claws through his silver locks and grunted in frustration.

He was finally at his condo and all he wanted to do was go inside, change his clothes and get a damn drink.

It was then that the scent hit him.

It was faint, lingering… but it was there.

Kagome.

With purpose in his steps he rushed towards the elevators. He wanted to stay on the trail. It was mesmerizing. Her smell was sweet and wild, like flowers blowing in the breeze. He wanted to find the source of it, burry his nose and-

“Inuyasha, wait up!” A cherry voice called after him. He furrowed his brows together in annoyance. He immediately recognized the speaker. It was the fucking receptionist at the desk. He bit his tongue so hard he put his fang through it, the metallic taste of blood coating his mouth.

He took a breath to steady himself, inhailing the bits of Kagome that he could. He wasn't even aware that he was using her scent to calm him. The dog demon turned to face the woman, a sly smile on his lips.

“Oi.”

“Inuyasha!” She panted, out of breath from her mad dash to chase him. “Im glad I caught you.” She said teasingly.

“Oh?” What the fuck did this woman want? He had made the mistake of screwing her, and now she wouldn't leave him the hell alone. Whenever he would bring a girl back to his place, she would do her best to intervene and make them feel uncomfortable. It hadn't bothered him before, because whatever guest he had would never stay the night, let alone be lucky enough to have a repeat performance.

“Well, I haven't seen you for a few days.” She leaned towards him, hoping to close the gap. “I get so lonely when you're not around…”

“Well, it cant be helped.” He gave his best apologetic look. “But right now Im really in a rush. See ya.-“ He held up his hand to dismiss her as he turned to leave.

“You had a vistor earlier.” She rushed out, trying to hold his attention.

“Eh?”

“A woman.” She said darkly. “She was looking for a set of keys. She said- She said she was-.”

“Damn, my wife?” He asked abruptly. How fucking annoying. He had been stressing finding the damn bitch and the entire time she was in his apartment?

Well, he had to hand it to her, it was the last damn place he would have expected her to be. She had smarts, he had to give her that.

“So its true then?” The woman asked, her face fallen.

“Yeah, its true.” He said distractidly. “Hey, how long has she been here? When did you let her in?”

“I didn't.” She replied, crossing her arms. “Shes not on the lease, and you didn't mention anything about being married.” She nibbled her lower lip, a whimper in her tone.

“Well, where the hell did she go?!” He growled. So close. So fucking close to finding the wench.

But, he could still smell her scent…

“She went up with Kouga.”

~.~

Kagome sighed as the warm water soothed her body. She was stressed, more so than she had been in ages. And it was all that demons fault.

Seriously, why did he have to be such a pig? Why, for one weekend, couldn't he just control himself?

They were sharing the room. Talk about a lack of respect. If this was any indication to how the next three years were going to be, she was starting to doubt her resolve.

She had agreed to this marriage, and foolishly, assumed that he was a reasonable individual.

How wrong she had been.

Its not like she was against sex, by any means. She had had a few boyfriends when she was younger, she had gone on dates when she found the time.

But there was never enough. She couldn't work it into her schedule to get to the doctors for a yearly physical, let alone squeeze in time for dates. Or getting to know someone.

She had worn the white robes, telling the world that she was a virgin, and she was…

But that didn't mean she was ignorant of how… pleasurable… certain activities were, or necessarily was resistant to having sex before marriage.

She just hadn't met the right person.

And there were nights that it definitely drove her crazy.

Gods, when would she have a break? Maybe Inuyasha was right. She had married him to clear the debt that her family was drowning in, so why not let his enormous wallet cushion her time shackled to him for the next three years?

If she quit her jobs, she could focus on studying. She could find time to relax.

She could date.

Kagome sank down deeper in the tub. Kougas tub.

He would be a nice specimen to start with. She had really enjoyed herself tonight at dinner. He was handsome, smart, funny. And nice. She was basically a stranger, and he was letting her spend the night.

She felt heat rise to her cheeks. She-

“Kagome? Everything okay in there? You've been in the tub for a while.” Kougas strong, masculine voice cut through.

“Y-yeah.” She called out, her voice cracking. “Im alright. I..Im just about to get out.”

“I have some clothes for you.” His honeyed words floated to her.

“Eh? You have womans clothes?” She asked, surprised. Suddenly, she felt award. Did Kouga have a girlfriend?

“Heh, no, sorry to disappoint. There just some of my pajamas. I think that they'll-”

Kagome wrapped a towel around herself and hurried to open the door.

Kouga clamped his mouth shut as his eyes moved over the curves of her body. Bead of water rolled down her skin. Gods it looked so soft. He wanted to dart his tongue out and catch them, taste her. Every inch of her was perfect, flushed from the heat of the bath. He felt his heart pounding in his ears.

“Uh. Kouga?”

“Mm?” He hummed, not listening to a word she was saying.

“The clothes?”

“Oh! Sorry.” He thrust them towards her. “Here.”

“Th-thanks.” Kagome clutched the clothing to her chest and shut the door. The wolf waited for the click of the lock to exhale.

He strode to the living room, trying to bring some sense back to his head.

The woman was intoxicating.

He had almost fainted when she turned the knob, reveiling the bounty of her body before him. To her, it was probably no big deal. She had worn less at the beach today. But to a demon like him…

He looked at her like prey. His blood boiled to pounce her, bringing her down to the ground, taking her until she screamed.

The wolf snarled in disgust. She was married to the fucking mutt. Such an undeserving prick.

What the bigger mystery was, why- no how- the hell had taken some other woman when he could have been around Kagome? He didn't even have to know who the fuck it was to know it was a downgrade.

He had spent dinner with her, soaking in her laughter, hanging on her words. She was quick with her comebacks, yet was graceful in her movements.

He was surprised to say the least to discover that they were both pre-med. How had he not seen her before, smelled her before? He wanted to beat himself. If he had gotten to her first-

“Uh, Kou-Kouga…” She stammered. He turned his head in her direction.

“K-Kagome…” He growled out.

Fuck. She had put back on her bikini, draping his tee shirt over her. She was swimming in it, the hem of the material coming mid thigh.

“The uh, pants were way too big.” She said quickly, avoiding his eyes as best she could. “I tried to roll them or tie them, but-“

“S'fine.” He managed to murmur. “Do you want to go to bed?” He asked, heat in his voice.

“K-“

Whatever Kagome was going to say was cut off with a loud, angry bang.
