Chapter 6: Always

Kagome was sitting next to the well. It was a day after she and Inuyasha had fought and she was still upset. She had gone to see Onigumo, but that made her even more depressed.

Why did he have to be like that?

“You were right. I had no right to say that to you.” Inuyasha stood ten feet away with his arms folded across his chest. “You have been kind to me since the first time I met you. Kikyo and I had a fight. I shouldn't have taken it out on you, Tomi.”

She was stunned by his confession. It was the closest to an apology she'd ever get from the proud half demon. She trembled as she rose to her feet.

Damn her nerves! She had no reason to feel so nervous, but she did anyway.

“Tomiko, are you okay?”

Concern was apparent all over his face. His nose twitched as he stared at her. “Not really, but I'll be fine.” She smiled at him weakly.

He walked closer to her. His hands gripped her wrists when she moved to back away from him. “You react to evil auras, don't you?” He moved to sniff her neck. His hair brushed her cheek and she had to bite back a moan.

“Yes.” She tilted her head to the side as he continued to sniff her.

“She took you to meet Onigumo, didn't she? Why do you keep going back to see him when he makes you so sick?”

“Huh?” Her eyes snapped open and they locked with his molten gold eyes. She only saw him one time since they kissed last week and that was today.

“Kikyo. She took you to meet Onigumo, didn't she?” Inuyasha knew the answer to that. She smelled just like the worthless bastard. He could smell the left over scent of Tomiko's fear too. Besides, Inuyasha had watched Tomiko emerge from the cave.

“You never answered me, you know? Did Kikyo take you to meet the love of her life?” The last question held sarcasm. The tone of his voice made her think of how a friend would talk about another friend's crush, if they didn't approve.

“You know Onigumo?”

“Keh!” He tossed his hair over his shoulder. “Who do you think carried the bastard to that fucking cave? You think Kikyo, did it? Not likely.” He informed her.

“You carried Onigumo to the cave?”

“Damn, woman, are you dense or something? I just told you that, didn't I?” He looked just as impatient as he always had been. Inuyasha had no tolerance for stupid people or for those he had to explain things to.

Kagome fought the urge to yell at him to sit, but remembered that he didn't have the rosary on. Telling him to sit now, would offend him. He would probably never talk to her again. “I'm sorry. I was just surprised that someone like you would save something like that.”

Gold eyes regarded the priestess. He folded his arms across his chest. “Believe me, I wanted to kill him, but Kikyo started crying, begging me to help her and…” He shrugged and looked bashful. “Kikyo is the only friend I have and I couldn't let the man she loved lay there to die, no matter how I felt about him. I'm not the monster, he is.”

`Truer words have never been spoken' Kagome thought. Her eyes narrowed as a question popped into her head. “How did you know that Kikyo took me to see Onigumo?”

“You mean besides the fact that I could smell him on you?”

She nodded.

“You're the type of priestess that reacts to evil auras. You're so pure that evil makes you physically ill. You need to learn how to repress it or it will render you helpless.”

Kagome blinked. “How do you know that?”

An arrogant smirk graced his features. “My mother was a priestess.”

Kagome gasped, her head snapping back in shock. She had no idea that he had spiritual powers. It made sense though. Why else would he get so sick when fighting some demons when Kilala, Shippo, and Koga were unaffected? That's why one the nights of the new moon, nothing could find him. It's not because he was so damn good at hiding, like he led everyone to believe. It's because he could erect a spiritual barrier. Nothing demonic would be able to pass it. He could detect demonic auras on his human nights because his spiritual powers reacted to them.

Over the past three years, Kagome had heard talk about of a handful of half demon children that were the offspring of a powerful demon lord and a powerful priestess. Most of them were killed at birth, because they were generally thought to be stronger than both their parents. They were dangerous to demons because they could use their demonic strength and spiritual powers in a fight, even if they were human, their spiritual powers were something to be wary of. To humans, it was obviously the demon blood they feared. The stronger the demon the more they wanted it dead, so it would make sense they would want the so called spiritual half demons dead. In Inuyasha's case, if he used the backlash wave and infused it with his spiritual power, it would destroy the demon he happened to be fighting.

She wondered why he had never used it before. Was it that he couldn't fully tap into the power he had inherited from his mother? That had to be it. Inuyasha couldn't tap into his spiritual power from his mother. Maybe he did most of the stuff without thinking about it. It was entirely possible. Kagome used her powers a lot without giving it a thought.

She couldn't believe that Inuyasha had never told them. He could have used his powers to help them on the night of the new moon. Of course he might not want people to know his secret. Maybe he was searching for a way to use his powers to surprise Naraku.

“That's why I knew what was wrong with you. I react to Onigumo the same way you do.”

Kagome's head snapped up to look at him. “You probably have it much worse than me,” she said.

“What do you mean?” He looked at her with his head cocked to the side.

“I'm human. My sense of smell isn't as good as your sense of smell. It is perfectly reasonable to assume that your superior sense of smell would make being around people like Onigumo so much worse for you than for me.”

“You might be right.” He concluded. He had never thought of it like that, but now that he did he knew that she was right.

Something was nagging at Kagome as she sat in the grass. If Inuyasha had carried Onigumo to the cave, did they know each other before he was injured? “Did you know Onigumo before?”

Inuyasha looked at her and sat next to her. “Yeah. What of it?”

“I was just wondering.”

“Onigumo is a beast. If Kikyo had begged me not to, I would have killed him by now.”

Kagome stared across the field. Her blues eyes reflecting the calm scene before her. Inuyasha hated Onigumo enough to kill him, but he wouldn't kill Onigumo because he was being loyal to his best friend. She had asked him not to, so he didn't.

“I didn't know that humans could have black souls until I met him. A week before he got hurt, he tried to cut my ears off. I beat the shit out of him, but Kikyo stopped me before I could kill him. From then on, I decided, I don't care what he says or does to me, but when the moment comes that Kikyo wants me to kill him, I will do it. And I will enjoy it.” There was no dark hatred in his voice. He spoke in a matter of fact tone. His gold eye watched the water too.

“You have such a good soul,” she said absently.

“Keh!” He looked at her and blushed. “N…no…I don't.”

She laughed at him and looked at him with a smile. “Of course not. You're rotten to the core, Inuyasha.”

A devilish smirk that Kagome had never seen before graced his lips when he looked at her. Before Kagome knew what was happening, she was pinned on her back with Inuyasha's weight pressing her into the soft grass. His mouth closed over hers and he kissed her deeply. His tongue sliding into her mouth and tangling with hers. There was something about this girl that made it nearly impossible to control himself around her. His hips began to press into her. She raised her hips to meet his and heard him groan.

“What is it about you, Tomi?” He pressed open mouth kisses on her throat.

Her hands buried in his long white hair. “I give up.” She tilted her head to the side to give him better access to her soft throat.

“You're so beautiful and you smell so fucking good.” His voice was a growl of desire.

“Do you want me?” Kagome didn't care what this did to the future. If she died in less than a month, she would never have this chance again. She had wanted Inuyasha for so long, she wasn't going to let this opportunity pass.

“Huh?” He lifted his head and their eyes locked. “What did you just say?”

Her blue eyes were hazy with lust, but her face burned in embarrassment. “Do you want to take me?”

“Yes.” He nodded at her, looking as nervous as she felt. “You want to be mine?”

She smiled as she pulled his head down to hers. His lips were a breath away when she whispered. “I want to be all yours.”

His eyes were half lidded as they looked at her full lips. They glanced up to look into her eyes. The sincerity and trust in them, terrified the half demon. She had been hurt before. What if he hurt her? What if he accidentally killed her? He would never be able to forgive himself for that.

She was the most incredible, loving person he had ever met and he'd be damned if he hurt her. He rolled away from her, lying on his back, next to her.

She sat up suddenly. “What's wrong?” She looked down at his strained face. His eyes were squeezed tightly shut as he nearly panted for air. She watched him dig his claws into the soft ground.

A few soft whimpers escaped his throat before he was ready to speak. “I can't, Tomi. I'm sorry.”

Kagome stared at him in shock. Why couldn't he? What was wrong with her? Then it came to her. It had nothing to do with what was wrong with her. It was him. He was afraid of hurting her.

“Wha…What are you doing?” He stuttered as she rolled on top of him.

Her eyes sparkled with mischief and lust as she smiled down at him. “If you can't, then I can.” She was straddling him with one knee on each side of his hips. With a boldness Kagome had never experienced, she began to untie the red sash around his waist. Her hands splayed over his flat stomach, then over his chest, and down his sides, as she pushed his fire rat robe open to reveal his cream colored undershirt. Once she had pushed the fire rat from him, she lowered her body against his. Her still covered breasts rubbed from his stomach to his chest where they pressed into him. Her mouth closed over his and she easily dominated the kiss.

He turned his head away and she moved her lips to his neck. His arms laid limply at his sides. He couldn't hold back his demon blood any more. Both his human side and his demon side wanted to claim her. To make her his and why not? The hot and horny priestess was rubbing her curvy body against him. Her scent drove him wild when she wasn't excited and now that she was, he could barely keep himself in check. He had to get away from her. He was afraid that if he touched her, he'd rip the clothing from her, so he stayed still. He needed to make her understand that he could really hurt her if he lost control. “Stop Tomi.”

“Why?”

“Because I might hurt you.”

“You won't.” She was grinding against him.

“I could.” He started to pant when she started to rub her hand against his groin. “Think about what happened that other day. I lost control and hurt you.”

“You didn't then and you won't now. I fully trust you. You won't hurt me. Please Inuyasha. I have never wanted this with anyone.” Kagome might be lying about a lot, but she wasn't lying about that. She had never wanted anyone, but Inuyasha. And she wanted him now.

Kagome slid her other hand under his cream colored undershirt and touched the hot skin of his stomach.

A growl was torn from his lips as his clawed hands tore Kagome's shirt from her back. Her front was still covered as his hands moved over the exposed silky skin of her back. They burrowed in her short black hair. They gripped her head firmly. It didn't hurt, but he was making sure that she couldn't get away. “Once I do this, there will be no going back,” his voice said as his claws massaged her scalp.

“I don't care. I want this. I want you.” She looked down into his eyes.

Kagome could feel his hot breath against the place where her right shoulder met her neck. His tongue lapped at that spot four times in long, slow licks. His hands tilted her head to the side a bit. His fangs grazed the flesh, before he sank them into her skin, marking her as his mate. Her mouth fell open in a silent scream as she closed her eyes in bliss. What coursed through her body wasn't orgasm, but it sure was close. She could hear Inuyasha's grunts and growls of pleasure as he swallowed her powerful blood. His tongue caressed her skin again as he healed the wounds. He watched in satisfaction as a magenta pentagram with a tiny blue crescent moon on her skin in the middle of the bite mark. “Mine. My beautiful mate, Tomi.” His head rested against the ground as his hands released her head and ran through her hair.

She smiled at him. “Mine. My beautiful mate, Inuyasha.” She snuggled against his chest.

The heat and lust of before was gone. Having been fulfilled in a different way. He knew he had taken too much of her blood and she would be tired. He held his mate against him. He had wanted to push her away, but she wouldn't let him. For that he was glad.

Kagome knew that this wasn't supposed to happen. Inuyasha wasn't supposed to claim Tomi as his mate. She wondered if she would even get to see what if any changes this made in the future.

While the two mates held one another in the falling darkness the scent of smoke invaded their nostrils. Both stayed in place, thinking it was coming from the village. By now Kikyo was back in the village, preparing dinner, done with her meeting with Onigumo.

It never crossed the minds of Kagome or Inuyasha that the smoke was coming from the raging fire in Onigumo's cave.
