Chapter 14

Together

 

The kitchen had never been so crowded. It took some effort but they were able to set everyone around the small table.

 

`I can't believe that they are all here. This is more than I could've ever asked for.' Kagome thought as she looked around the table. Inuyasha sat quietly beside her. He seemed happy to have everyone there too. `He is gorgeous when he's happy. He almost glows.'

 

She reached out for his hand, and it caused him to jump. A small grawl escaped from him before he could stop it.

 

He felt stupid and embarrassed. “I'm sorry, Kagome.”

 

Kagome looked at him with wounded eyes. She knew that he hadn't meant to hurt her. He had only been startled by the surge of power that resulted from her action. He had good reason to react the way he did. There would be no way to stop it if the youkai decide to fight him right now.

 

Kaede had understood what happened but said nothing. She had seen the two energies take form, touch, and recoil as their hands recoiled. It had been only a second or two, but power was too great to be over looked. She turned see if Miroku has seen what had taken place. He fixed gaze on the couple confirmed that he had seen it too. `I will have to asks him about this when we return to our world.'

 

“Inuyasha, what is wrong with you today?” Mama asked him.

 

He stared at his plate, and said the only thing he could think of, “Kagome is in heat right now. I'm sorry, but it makes me cranky. Please don't ask me to explain that to everyone.”

 

Kagome's face turned the brightest color of red any of them had ever seen. “BAKA! Did you have to announce that in front of everyone here?”

 

“What else did you want me to say? You know why I am grumpy!”

 

“Stop it!” Mama commanded.

 

She startled them both. Mama was always quiet and reserved. They couldn't believe that she was being so loud. When they had quieted down she frightened them farther by laughing.

 

“Did you say she was in heat?” Mama asked as she leaned forward.

 

Inuyasha nodded hoping that she would not yell again, “Yes.”

 

“I haven't heard it put that way before. Well…I haven't heard it used in a nice way at least.”

 

“I don't know what else to call it,” he insisted.

 

“I don't like it,” Grandpa grumbled, “It sounds demeaning.”

 

Mama turned to reply to Grandpa before Inuyasha could try to defend himself, “Alright, what would you call it that would sound better?”

 

Grandpa grumbled at the question and went back to his meal.

 

“That's alright, honey. Heat works fine. I have heard it called much worse,” she said as she shook her head. “I have to keep reminding myself that you are part dog youkai. It is charming to be reminded from time to time.”

 

To relieve the stress Mama left the table for more food. By time the meal was over everyone was stuffed. The evening had turned out fine after all.

 

Inuyasha had to return everyone to there own time so Kagome had been left alone to study. Math was the least of her worries at the moment, but she was trying her best to focus on it. She worked the first three problems before giving up. `I can't do this right now.' She moved the book and set her head down on her folded arms. She thought about how hansom had had seemed to her at dinner. `It would be so nice to hold him right now.' She had several ideas of things she wanted to do to him when he got back. `Kaede is right, I have to make myself face this. I am a miko. All these books will never change that. He needs me to be a miko more than I need these books. It's not like I can use this stuff back in the feudal era anyway. I don't really think that we will stay in modern Tokyo, so why am I killing myself to do this?'

 

It felt like a weight have been lifted from her shoulders. The idea of staying in the feudal era did not seem as bad as she had told herself it would. `I don't have to give up completely. I can still learn for my own sake. There are books that I can take back if I want to.'

 

Kagome was startled when the energy inside her flared. She knew that Inuyasha was back. “How much stranger is this going to get?” she gasped as she stood to free herself from the chair. “If I give in to this am I going to get worse or better?”

 

After waiting for him to come to the bedroom for several minutes, she began to wonder if her senses were right. Her body was telling her that he was somewhere close by, but too much time had passed. He would have had plenty of time to reach their room. Waiting was too much. She had to move, or she was going to go insane standing there. She decided to leave the room and search for him. Souta and Grandpa were already in bed. Mama was heading to her room for the night when Kagome met her on the stairs. When asked about Inuyasha, Mama was no help at all.

 

“I know you are here,” Kagome whispered under her breath. “I can feel more and more. Where are you?” Her own arms were wrapped around her upper body to keep her from shaking to badly.

 

Kagome stepped out of the house and into the yard. The night was quiet except for the sound of wind chimes. A soft spring breeze was fueling their beautiful sound. None of it seemed real as her knees started to shake. Reality hit her like a brick wall as she realized that her body was reacting this way because this was what his body was feeling. The acceptance of her miko made her desire more intense. She wanted Inuyasha, but what startled her most was that it was nothing in comparison to how Inuyasha wanted her. Her power had been searching for his youkai from the moment she accepted her miko. That was why she could sense him in her time. She could feel his loneliness and need to be with her, as well as the darker emotions he felt. He hated what he was. He was fighting that hatred with everything he had, but he was loosing the fight. He was afraid of what his youkai blood would do to them both.

 

She found him on his knees under Goshinboku. He was clutching the top half of his body just as she was. She called out to him as she moved closer.

 

“Don't! Stay way from me,” he pleaded as he attempted to stand.

 

He didn't have to say anything more to stop her dead in her tracks. She could feel the youkai reaching out for her power. It felt just like he was touching her with is hands.

 

“Go back inside!” he groaned and leapt in the tree, “I am spending my nights here until I get my control back.”

 

“Inuyasha let me stop this!” she cried from the foot of the tree.

 

“Get away from me! I can't, I'm not strong enough.”

 

“You don't have to fight it anymore. You won't hurt me…”

 

“Damn it, Kagome! Not like this…not like this. I don't want to make love to you because of this. I want it to be because we both want to.” He through the Tetsusaiga down to land at her side. “If I come near you use it.”

 

“I can't believe you are asking me to do this,” she said as she fought back the lump in her throat.

 

“GO!” he screamed.

 

Somewhere a dog started to bark and Kagome realized that the choice had been made. She picked up the sword and turned to face the dark shadows of her backyard. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she clutched the sword to her chest. She could not help him this time. This was going to be the only fight that they could not fight together. She could share his pain, but not the battle. He had to face it on his own.

 

Never letting go of the Tetsusaiga, Kagome crawled into the bed. Hour of crying passed by without her crying herself to sleep. She couldn't sleep without him beside her. She couldn't physically touch him or feel the warmth of his body, although he was right outside. Her body would not let her rest. Her miko was still trying to reach out to his youkai. It was making it hell for them both. The only way it could have seemed any crueler was if he had been naked and lying on the floor next to the bed. All she could do was to pray and try to force the power down.

 

****

The next morning after Kagome had gone to school, Mama went out to question Inuyasha. She knew something had gone terribly wrong when Inuyasha had refused to come in for breakfast. Inuyasha was lucky that Mama was a supportive soul, because she was not about to leave him without some sort of explanation. He ended up crying in her arms just as Kagome had done over a year before.

 

“It is alright, Inuyasha. I will help you in everyway that I can,” she assured him as she stroked his long hair. “I'll keep my eye on you both, and I will bring you your meals. It is better that you stay out here than to risk hurting yourself.”

 

“Hurting myself? What about me hurting Kagome?”

 

“You would hurt yourself before you let yourself harm her. Don't argue aobut that…I know you too well. She can also protect herself,” she insisted as she pointed to the rosary about his neck. “You forgot about his didn't you?”

 

Souta had volunteered to help take Inuyasha his meals. Meanwhile, Kagome took up the habit of setting at the table picking at her food. As she did this, she watch the back door and pictured him walking through it. Each night was the same. It took all they had to keep away from each other. Kagome was learning to control the power, but Inuyasha felt the same to her. His youkai had not changed from that first night.

 

****

The gloomy mood in the house lifted later that week when Inuyasha fallowed Souta into the house. He was still being cautious, but willing to try since Kagome's scent was back to normal. After dinner he let Souta show him how to play some of his Gameboy games, while he waited for the bathroom to be free. He actually felt dirty after all the time in the tree. It seemed he was picking up Kagome's strange compulsion for cleanliness.

 

Kagome had made sure that she took her bath after Mama and Grandpa. She wanted to make sure that everyone was in bed before Inuyasha took his bath. That way she could be ready for him when he came into the room. The house would be quiet and no one would interfere with her plan.

 

She was naked under the sheets as she waited for him to come to bed. She turned the lights off believing that he wouldn't turn them on if he thought she might already be sleeping. With luck he might not catch on to her plan until he was already in bed. She was sure that if he started to have doubts about his control before she could touch him that he would end up in the tree again.

 

She heard the door open, and tried to keep her body as still as she could. She was praying to keep her mind focused on holding back the power. She was already excited and she knew the moment he touched her that she wouldn't be able to control it at all.

 

He was wearing his shorts and holding the Tetsusaiga as he entered the room. The light shining through the window was more than enough for him to see everything in his path. Her scent had let him know that she was excited before he had even entered the room. His body was already aching because of it. He was trying very hard to keep his control, since he didn't want to get his hopes up. He didn't believe that he was strong enough to control his youkai, and it was keeping him from getting into the bed.

 

Her eyes were closed, but he could tell that she was not asleep. He had watched her sleep too many times to be fouled. There had been a few times in the past that he had noticed her growing aroused in her sleep. During those times she had always moved her body around in some way. He had even snuck over to set beside her once, because she had been mumbling something. That time he had been hoping to hear his name, but she hadn't spoken anything that he could have made sense of.

 

“Why are you pretending to be asleep? I can go way if you want me too,” he mumbled in a defeated voice.

 

She hadn't expected him to do this. She should have, but hadn't. Of course, he would doubt her trust in him. He had the habit of twisting the situation to make it seem like he was being rejected even when he was not. It was his way of protecting his self from failure, but it only helped him to fail at times when he should have succeeded.

 

She quickly set up with the sheet covering her chest. She hoped that he wouldn't be able to tell that she was naked behind it. “I don't want you to go way. I want you to come to bed.”

 

 

Her hair fell way from her shoulders and it attracted his attention. He noticed then that there were no straps on her shoulder when there should have been. The knowledge alone of her nudity was enough to make his body tingle.

 

“You aren't wearing clothes are you?” He whispered as he took a step back.

 

`Damn those senses of his! He would be able to see in this light.' She let the sheet slide off her as she moved to get out of the bed.

 

His eyes were closed and ever muscle in his body had tightened up. He was trying his best to stay calm, but he was failing. The closer she got the farther he tried to move away from her. He jumped when his butt hit the end of her desk. She tried to reach out to him when she was sure that he could not escape her. She attempted to touch the side of his face, but he managed to dodge her hand.

 

“Don't tease me like this, Kagome. I can't do anything to stop it once it starts.”

 

Her voice came out soft and very controlled. It was as if she was talking to a child, “I am not teasing you, Inuyasha. Let me touch you. I promise I'm not going to tease you.” She placed her hands on his chest. It made him take a deep breath as if it hurt. Her hands slowly moved upward until they found his ears. She began to gently rub them.

 

He hands latched on to the side of the desk. His voice came out raspy, “You said that you were not going to tease.”

 

He was starting to shake. He opened his eyes and waited for her to say something. Those eyes were begging her to say something…anything. She pushed her body against his. His arms flew around her back.

 

“If you do not stop that…” his voice was still low, but he was clinching his teeth.

 

She was somewhat afraid. However, she was not going to let it stop her.

 

“You don't get it do you? Make love to me, Inuyasha. I want you to stop fighting your youkai.”

 

“You're afraid. I can tell.”

 

“It's my first time, of course, I am afraid.”

 

She stood on tip toe and moved his hair back. She started kissing his neck while one hand continued to play with his ear. The power of his youkai pushed into her body and Kagome opened her mind and soul to meet it. Her power surrounded Inuyasha, causing him to drop the sword. The sensation had nearly knocked him to his knees. Luckily the desk had made it possible to remain standing.

 

“What are you doing to me?” The question had been fallowed by several other small sounds.

 

“What you have wanted me to do for months. Now shut up and kiss me.”

 

He pushed him self off the desk, and did as she had commanded him. With her help, he was able to make it to the bed without falling over.

 

“Wait, wait,” he panted as he pushed her back. “I need to take these off.” He pulled at the shorts.

 

As he fumbled with the shorts Kagome settled onto the bed. Just as Inuyasha had finally regained his ability to stand on his own, she grad his hand and pulled him forward. He ended up on top of her with his legs dangling off the bed. It took some effort, but they managed to scramble into the middle of the bed before he ended up on the floor.

 

The moment his hips settled between her thighs, the miko and youkai powers began to melt into each other. It was as if youkai and miko were making love for them. They were surrounded by warmth and everything had become calm.

 

“Why are you waiting, Inuyasha?”

 

“I'm not waiting. I…,” he laughed at himself, “I don't really know what I am doing. Can we do it like this?”

 

“What?”

 

“…with me facing you? Can we do it like this?”

 

“We have been making out in this position and you didn't know we could have sex like this?”

 

“It felt like a good thing…I guess it was instinct. I don't know. I just don't know what to do from his point.”

 

It took her a second to remember that he had only seen animals do this. He really didn't know what he was doing. It was going to be up to her to help him figure it out. “Be glad that I learned this in biology.” She reached down and tried to guide him into place without dying of embarrassment. `Right there…” She moved her hand to his hip and said, “You're on your own from there.”

 

He let out a groan as he entered her. The powers were intensifying every touch and movement. Color swirled around their bodies. What had once only been visible in her mind was now visible to her eyes. The two powers were nearly the same now. It was almost impossible to see the difference between them. The fight was finally over. The chaos and hatred were gone. All that was left was the love that he felt for her. She knew that he loved her more than anything in the world. She felt it as if she were him. She had felt it when he discovered that he too could feel everything she was feeling. They would know when the other was content or in danger. Whatever had blocked this understanding before was gone now.

 

Her orgasm broke their thoughts. The contracting of her muscles triggered his orgasm almost instantly. Neither of them had the will to move. They were much too comfortable the way they were. They were both exhausted, yet for the first time in months, they were both at peace.
