He ran faster than he had in ages; the dog demon wanted to put as much distance between himself and the well as he could manage. His sensitive ears twitched at every sound coming from her. At first her protests and screams, later the rapid panting that came from panic, and finally the sighs of defeat. She was still slung over his shoulder. He considered stopping to adjust her, but this position seemed like the best solution. If he carried her bridal style, he would be forced to make eye contact. He just was not ready for that yet. If he allowed her to ride on his back… he might just lose his mind. He would fall back into his memories, into the feeling of touching her bare thighs, her breasts pressed close against him… he simply couldn't handle that at this moment.

With each leap and bound he drew in a deep breath, and each time he was surprised and delighted to catch her scent. Wild flowers. It dominated everything. It was so strong it had his head spinning.

“Inuyasha, can we please stop? This is uncomfortable. I think I'm getting sick.”

He didn't reply. The hanyou didn't trust himself to speak. Not yet.

But he did heed her request. In truth they had already been close to his destination. He had found this area immediately after she left. He had disappeared for weeks, staying at random spots with no destination in mind. When he had found the site, isolated with blooming trees, nearing a hot spring, he could hear her delighted squeals in his mind. At that time he had sat under a tree and imagined she was with him to enjoy it.

And now she really was here.

Inuyasha placed his clawed hands on her hips as he set her down gently on the grass by the base of a large tree. When the soles of her shoes hit the Earth, his fingers lingered, his eyes downcast. He was afraid to look at her, afraid to speak. If they could only stay like this, in this moment, it would be enough.

Of course his stubborn wench had to break the spell.

“….Inu…Inuyasha…” Kagome bit her bottom lip, trying to think of something to say. Words failed her, she had so much bubbling to the surface that she couldn't decide how to proceed. Why did he bring her here? What was going on? Was he still mad?

When he finally spoke, his voice was small.

“How could you?” He tightened his hold on her waist. His hands…. Were they trembling?

“Wh-what?” She was startled. He spoke! She was finally taking to Inuyasha…

“How could you leave me like that, Kagome?” He sounded so vulnerable, so hurt.

“I…I did what I thought was best.” She bit her lip so hard she winced in pain.

The dog demon scoffed. He still couldn't look at her.

“Best for who? Best for you? So you could go back to you time and go to that school of yours? Or be with other men? Who exactly was that best for, bitch?”

She couldn't see his face; his head was still downcast, causing his silver bangs to conceal his eyes. But she couldn't miss he snarl that came out when he spoke. He wasn't just mad. He was furious. Kagome squared her shoulders to face him. How dare he! She was the one who was hurt, who had sacrificed, not him!

“I did what was best for you, Inuyasha.”

That was it. He set his hard amber orbs on her grey and he noticed her shiver.

“AND WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO DECIDE THAT?! Did I ever once ask you to fucking go?! Weren't you the one who said you would stay by my side? I should have known you were no different.” He spit out, the words tasting bitter in his mouth.

No, this was not how he had intended it to go. But he was so damn angry that he couldn't control his temper! He wanted to scream at her, punish her for making his life Hell this past year. He wanted to push her to the ground and devour every inch of her.

He wanted to hold her, to kiss her gently, to show her his passion and love. He wanted to claim her so that way she would never pull something so stupid again.

And he wanted to do it all at once. He was twisted with conflicting emotions and it pissed him off! Only his damn bitch could get him in this state.

“Now wait a minute! Its not like I wanted to leave! The only reason I went was because of you! Do you have any idea how hard this past year has been for me? DO YOU? But I did it or you. It's what you wanted!” She challenged him with a fierce look. “Gods, you never think of anyone but yourself, do you! Why are you so upset anyways? Things seemed to have worked out pretty well for you, so you should be thanking me!”

Inuyashas eyes widened in shock.

“Th-THANKING YOU? What the fuck for?!”

“For giving you the chance to be with Kikyou, stupid!” She raged. Kagome took a breath to calm her nerves and spoke in a softer tone. “I'm not an idiot you know. From the very beginning, I always knew it was her. I knew that I couldn't come close to Kikyou. It… it was never a competition. She was right, I was a place holder. For a while, I fooled myself into thinking that you felt something more for me, especially when our relationship became physical. But even then, I was aware that I was not enough.

So when Kikyou came back, and you asked me to stay… I wasn't sure what you meant. I really didn't have a purpose, you know? I measure short in every way to her. At first, I was resolved that I would fight to stay by your side. I was convinced she came to bring you to Hell. I wouldn't let her do that. All I have ever wanted, Inuyasha, was for you to live and be happy.

That's why…. That's why when she said she wanted to be with you, to pick things up where you left off before Naraku, I knew what I had to do. No matter how much I loved you, it would never be enough to heal the scars from Kikyou. In order for you to be happy, truly happy- you needed to be with her. To have that chance that you missed out on. I… I was just in the way. I was unnecessary and a burden. The last thing I wanted was for you to feel obligated to keep me around because I was in love with you. I left so you could have the life you have with her now. Do… do you understand?”

Inuyasha was frozen. He, for once, was at a loss for words. Did she really not know? Did she really have no idea how he had suffered? How up until the minute he caught her scent, laid his hands on her body, that his entire world had been void and shallow?

“Ka…Kagome…” He swallowed hard, unsure of what to say first. She had just bared her soul.

“So, I'm sorry that I couldn't stick around. And Im sorry that we didn't get to have a proper good bye. Its just that leaving was hard enough. I was so in love with you Inuyasha. It tore my soul apart to leave you. This past year has been Hell for me. But please understand why I couldn't stay by your side… it would hurt too much to see you be together. I couldn't just be your friend, not after everything. I guess I'm really a jealous person after all.” She said with a small laugh as she rubbed the back of her neck.

“ I want you to be happy Inuyasha, but there is only so much I could handle. Seeing you together… even I have a limit” She said with a sad smile. She could feel the hot prick of tears in her eyes. “And, really, I hope you are happy. I… When Jiro confessed to me, I realized that something was holding me back. I realized that I couldn't move on with my life unless I saw you once more… unless I found out if you were happy. Are you… happy?” Kagome gave him a little smile. She hoped that she looked encouraging and friendly. Her tone was low, pleading. “I can't be with Jiro, or anyone for that matter until I know that. I need to hear you say those words. I need to hear you say it's over. I can't let go until you do.”

When he didn't speak she began to get nervous. She babbled out a string of nonsense. “I…I heard that the village is giving you a hut. That's really nice. I always thought that they would do something like that. I hope you accept it. It would be good for you to be around people! Im sure Kiyou is looking forward to being a house wife. I'm sure you will love having a home with her, that's something you've always wanted, right? If you had made the wish to be human you would have had a hut together, so its exactly like you guys wanted! If she can cook anything like her sister you will be a lucky guy! What am I saying, it's been a year now, I'm sure she has cooked for too many times to count. By the way have you gotten married yet? I always-“

Kagome was cut short by a growl and a firm hand clamped over her mouth. His lips curled, showcasing his dangerous fangs. He was taking deep breaths, trying to calm his tattered nerves. What the hell was she on about? Married to Kikyou? Kikyou living in his house? She wanted to let go of him? Move on? Well, he wasn't about to let that happen. And who the fuck was Jiro? She wanted to give him up to be with some bastard? His demon was stirring. No. That would never happen. Kagome was his, and his alone.

“NuYaha?” She mumbled, her eyes wide with shock.

He brought his face close her hers, her eyes level with his own.

“Who the fuck is happy Kagome? How in the Hell am I supposed to be happy when you left me? After all that we have been through I thought you knew me better than that! You decided on your own that Kikyou was the one I wanted. I know Im a screw up and I didn't show it in the past, but the one I want is you.” He grabbed her hip to draw her in closer. He growled out the words that shook Kagome to her core. “I love you Kagome.” Her eyes welled up with tears. Just what was he playing at?

“No.. No you love Kikyou…”

“Are you fucking deaf? I just told you that I don't! What I feel for Kikyou is nothing in comparison to what I feel for you. When you left me I thought I was going to go insane. You said its been Hell for you this year Kagome? Its been worse for me! Do you have any idea what happens to a demon when his mate leaves him?

“M-mate?”

“That's what I fucking said. It felt like I was physically dying. And you're off in your time with some bastard Hiro. Well I got news for you Kagome. Your mine. I aint saying I'm happy, cause I'm damn miserable. I won't tell you it's over because it's not. You belong to me. Only me. I'm not letting you go. Your mine!”

Kagomes mouth fell slack and that was all the opportunity he needed. He crashed his lip down on hers with all the passion and force he could muster. He was determined to show her how he felt, to let her taste his need.

Gods, her taste. How had lived this long without it? She was the sweetest thing he had ever sampled. She was reluctant at first, but with his eager coaxing she fell into rhythm. Inuyasha wanted to savor every part of her, map out each inch of her mouth, commit it to memory. Kagome ran her shaky hands up his neck, working their way into his hair. He heard her moan into his mouth. The hanyou felt as if his body was on fire. He nearly fainted from the sensation of her delicate fingers rubbing the base of his ear. He rumbled deep in his chest, causing Kagomes knees to go weak.

When they broke apart for air, both girl and dog demon were disoriented. Kagome ran her knuckles over his cheek and stared into his honey eyes.

“Do you mean it? Do you… really love me?” She asked.

Inuyasha pulled her in closer. “So much that it drives me fucking crazy.” He nuzzled her neck, breathing in deep. Her scent was heavy with arousal. He closed his eyes, content to drown himself in it. He placed light kisses along her neck.

“But... but what about Kikyou. I thought-“

He growled and gave her a hard look.

“There is nothing between Kikyou and me. I've always felt like I owed her. And when I told her that I loved you, she guilted me into staying with her. She said she would kill herself, that her soul would die angry and never find peace. After you left, I was really fucked up. I couldn't handle that on top of the pain I was already in. But even still, I never did anything with her. Even if I wanted to, I cant be unfaithful to you. After I defeat Naraku… I was going to ask Kaede to put a sleeping spell on me. I was going to find you in your time. I couldn't bare to be without you. I just figured that until I finish off Naraku, it wouldn't hurt to appease Kikyou. Once I found out that you were coming back on the new moon, I told her that I couldn't stay with her any more. I wasn't going to let you get away, Kagome.”

“But, but I thought that the hut-

“The only woman that's going to be living in the damn hut is you Kagome.” He growled out. When Kagomes eyes widened, he blushed. He hadn't even asked her if that was what she wanted. All this time, he just assumed that she still loved him.

Panic struck him. What if she was over him? She had said she came here to move on, to be with that bastard. Its not like she was the one who kissed him. He basically forced it on her. Insecurities welled up inside the hanyou.

“I mean, if that's, if that's what you want.” He spoke in a low voice, averting his eyes to anywhere but her beautiful face.

“You want me to live with you? To…to be as we were before?” She felt stupid, but she had to ask. She had to be sure.

Inuyasha snapped his attention back to her.

“No, not as we were before. As my mate, in every sense of the word. To be my wife.” His words were stern, leaving no room for error. There had been enough of that in their relationship. “I want you Kagome, if you'll have me.” It was tender and open. It left him exposed. It was a feeling he was completely unused to.

Kagome worried her lip and she studied him. He meant it. Every word. She wanted to preserve this moment. It was one she had dreamed of both before and after her departure. It was something she had never believed she would hear. Kagome realized that her pause and silence had made him look uncertain. There could be none of that. She grabbed his hair, yanking him forward, capturing him in a searing kiss.

Kagome ran her tongue over his sharp fangs and shivered. He was a predator, a beast made to kill. She knew she should feel afraid of the claws that were running down her sides; they had torn apart flesh with less pressure than he was currently applying. She couldn't find it in her to feel fear from him. The only sensation she had was pleasure. Each gentle stroke of his hand made her feel wanton with lust. Her body was begging for his. She was certain that she would die if he didn't touch more of her. Inuyasha rocked his hips into her and she moaned his name.

She parted from him, taking the time to nibble on his bottom lip. They panted heavily as Kagome looked up to meet his gaze.

“Yes, Inuyasha.” He felt his heart skip a beat. “Let me become your mate. Let me be your wife. I want all of you.” She said as she reigned kisses chest. “I love you.”

Inuyasha held her body close to his, letting out a breath he didn't know he was holding. “Say it again.”

“I love you Inuyasha.”

He was on her once more, only now he was urging her to lie on the ground. Kagome eagerly complied. She wanted this more than she could explain. She wanted him to take every inch of her, to consume every last bit. She felt the pressure of him on top of her, his legs straddling hers. Kagome looked up at him through half lidded eyes as he removed his fire rat. As if on their own accord, her hands few up to his hard, chiseled chest, and she delighted when he hissed in response. She eyed the white fabric with distaste. She wanted to feel more of him. Her fingers found the opening and worked the cloth off his shoulders.

She wanted to stop, solely to admire his physique. His was a body that should be sculpted, one to be worshipped. His skin felt hot under her hands. She couldn't stop touching him; she wanted to become familiar with every inch of his body.

She ran her fingers of his nipples, discovering just how sensitive they were. He growled with satisfaction. Kagomes hand retreated concerned she had done something wrong.

“Did- did that feel good?” She asked in a shaky voice.

Inuyasha leaned down, his voice hot in her ear. “Let me show you how good it felt.” His voice was husky and thick with want. He brought his lips to hers, while concentrating on the shirt she was wearing. Kagome shivered at the touch. It was a slow, agonizing journey, as he gathered the material to lift over her head. Inuyasha found, much to his annoyance that there was still material obstructing his prize. Losing a battle with patience, he grasped the dainty fabric and sliced it open, exposing her large, perky breasts.

His mouth watered at the sight. He closed his lips over one dusky nipple, giving it a long lick. Kagome arched against him, letting out a whimper. He brought his hand to pay homage to her other breast, firmly squeezing it, teasing her nipple until it was hard and she was moaning his name.

Kagome could feel the strain of his erection against her as he rocked into her hips. The sensation was driving her wild. Her entire body felt as if it were on fire. With each stroke, each lick it both quenched and ignited it. She had to have more.

She felt his hands trailing down her stomach to toy with the waist band of her skirt. She lifted her lips, welcoming him to slide it down her thighs. When he made no further move she repeated the action, begging him to continue. Inuyasha brought his lips to her ear.

“I want you, Kagome.”

The words were so erotic. She could feel the heaviness of her want, the pressure that he had been building inside of her. She was near tears she need him so badly! She replied with a moan as he ran his tongue over the shell of her ear.

“Say you want me too.” He hissed.

“I want you too” she breathed out.

Inuyasha removed her skirt in one swift motion. He ran his thumb over the lacy material of her underwear. He rumbled deep in his chest when he noted that it was soaked with her desire. With each teasing stoke, she bucked her hips, trying to feel more of his elusive hand. He gave her a cocky smile. His bitch wanted him.

And she had the most enticing aroma. The air all around them was fragranced with her arousal, with her need for him. He crawled down her body, pressing kisses along the way to her core. He breathed in deeply, the scent of her driving him wild.

“You smell so fucking good Kagome.” He said, inhaling once more. Kagome bit her lip at the erotic image. Something about his head between her legs make her quake with need.

With one careful finger, he moved the lace cloth to the side, hell bent on tasting her. If she smelled that phenomenal, he could only imagine what she would taste like.

He snaked his tongue out to taste her juices. She cried in response. Inuyasha was in a state of euphoria. He was sure he could sustain himself on her desire alone.

He circled the sensitive nub with the tip of his tongue, reveling in her moans, encouraged by her desperate thrusts. He opened his amber eyes to get a good look at her. He had never seen anything more beautiful in his life. Her breasts were heaving, her back arching with desire. Kagome caught his gaze, forcing him to stop. It felt like heaven and hell all at once, but this was not enough for her.

“S'not fair.” Kagome managed to mumble out. “You still have your clothes on.”

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at her. Had Kagome always been so bold? He stood up to remove his clothing, loving the way her eyes never left him. She looked hungry for his body.

When her eyes moved to his erection, she bit her lip and blushed. He was huge. She worried how her body was going to accommodate to fit his enormous member. She couldn't tear her gaze from it. She looked up at him, blushing furiously. “Can I… Can I touch it?” She squeaked out.

It was the hanyous turn to redden. He nodded his approval and closed his eyes in anticipation. Kagome slowly brought her hand to him, wrapping her fingers lightly around his cock. He moaned at her touch. “Did I hurt you?” She asked, worried. She always knew that it was a sensitive area.

“No,” he ground out. “You can touch it harder.”

Kagome obeyed. Getting a firmer grip on his erection, she moved her hand slowly up and down. The dog demon moved his hips to match her rhythm. She savored this. No one else had ever seen Inuyasha in such a way.

And no one ever would.

Mine. Inuyasha is MINE. She thought, as she circled the head of his cock. A bead of moisture leaked out, and she spread it with the pad of her thumb. He growled and pushed her back against the ground. Inuyasha brought his claws to her thin underwear, ready to slice the sides.

“Kagome, are you sure you want this? It… its not too late to stop.”

She raised her legs and hooked them around his back, afraid he was going to run off.

“Don't you dare.” She breathed out. “I love you Inuyasha. I want this. I want you.”

That was all the encouragement he needed. With one quick motion he removed her panties and positioned himself at her entrance. His bitch was ready for him. He could feel the heat radiating, urging him to take her. He kissed her as he slid his throbbing cock into her wet core.

He felt the barrier with his tip, the one that told him no one else had been there before. He rocked his hips into her, breaking the delicate flesh. She gave out a startled cry. It had hurt, but not as bad as she had expected. Inuyasha waited, straining against his animal instincts to pound ruthlessly into her. He knew she needed time to adjust.

He pressed light kisses to her cheeks and forehead, trying to sooth the dull ache she felt. Giving her a gentle kiss, he let her set the pace. It was slow to begin with, but soon it became hungry and needy.

“Can I move now Kagome?” He begged, his voice husky.

As soon as she relied yes, he retracted his hips, only to rock them forward once more. Each thrust was a little deeper, a bit faster. Soon Kagome found herself raising her hips, trying to meet his. She felt something building deep inside of her. He pounded in and out, a rhythm that had them both on the edge.

Inuyashas body was dripping with sweat. He leaned down to take her lips once more.

“Mine.” He said through clenched teeth.

With those words of ownership, Kagome let go and lost herself. She cried out his name as her body contracted around his member, urging on his release. He spilled his seed with her name on his lips, clamping his fangs down on her shoulder.

Once the shock had worn off, Inuyasha rolled over, attempting to catch his breath. He snaked an arm around Kagomes body, dragging her against him.

“I hope you know, Im not letting you leave me again, wench.” He rumbled in satisfaction as she snuggled against him. He kissed the crown of her hair, breathing in her scent. His Kagome. His woman. His mate.

At that moment in time, Inuyasha had never been happier. He never wanted to leave this spot. He idly wondered if Kagome would be opposed to forgetting everything behind at the village and living here for the rest of their lives.

He knew once they returned they would have to deal with reality; with shards and friends, with damned kitsunes who always wanted her attention. With his dead ex-girlfriend and her life on the other side of the well.

But for now, they had this moment, and it was perfect.

If only things could have stayed that way.
