InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Children of Light ❯ Chapter 10 ( Chapter 10 )

"INU YASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

….

Flung apart from the force of the blinding explosion, Kagome and Inu Yasha are thrown several feet away from each other. Panting heavily, they attempt to regain their breaths, their senses.

Kagome's mind whirls in a chaotic frenzy, struggling to understand everything that had taken place. "What's going on? Where am I?"

It was too difficult to remember anything clearly. Her eyes focused on the ground where she lay, hunched over, her head tucked between her knees. Her mind had still not made the connection that there was a figure sprawled out on the ground, just a few feet away from her.

Taking short gasping breaths, Kagome struggled to take hold of her breath. Looking up, she catches sight of white hair fanned out on the cement ground a little ways away from her.

"No, please no," she cries out, reaching her hand towards the still figure, as scattered memories and moments began flooding her brain, threatening to crack her thin hold of control.

"INU YASHA! NOOOOOOOOOO!"

~~~~~~

Inu Yasha groaned as he struggled to come too. "What the hell?" He wondered, as his mind continued to whirl in a hazy, muggy fog. He fought to clear the cobwebs from his mind.

"Where am I? What was I doing?" He slowly begins to pick himself up from the hard, cold floor, when he hears a scream, faintly resembling his name, bellowed out in unbelievable pain and anguish, followed by an earth shattering scream of denial. A scream that caused his memories to slam back into place as his soul staggered under the onslaught of information.

His memories, his life, his mate.

"KAGOME!" He screamed in reply, as his head snapped up in her direction, catching sight of her for the first time, her hand outstretched, aching to reach him, but unable to move, trapped in her own private horror.

Moving with a quickness that would have astonished most full-blooded demons, Inu Yasha was at her side. Speed that never surprised him when it came to his Kagome, his mate.

"Kagome." He called her name again, softly. His voice filled with recognition, worry and relief, as he cradled her in his embrace. He tucked her head under his chin and placed the rest of her small form securely in his lap, as the rivers of unshed tears finally wracked through her fragile form. Her sobs, powerful and heartfelt, tears of sorrow, pain and loss, held back for centuries.

Inu Yasha held on tightly to her, letting her release everything that had remained trapped within her soul from that fateful, disastrous day. Whispering words of encouragement to her, letting her know that he was there, that he would never leave her again. He kissed the top of her head and rocked her in his arms. Slowly, she finally began to calm, her tears only now hiccupping in her throat.

"Sssh, Kagome. It's okay my mate, I'm here." He whispered into her ear, holding her close as the soft deep rumbling of a purr, used for soothing loved ones, began vibrating low in his chest.

He heard his name called softly and loosened his grip slightly on his precious cargo, allowing Kagome to pull her head back and for the first time in centuries, their reawakened souls, locked eyes.

"Inu Yasha." She whispered his name again, not really believing that he was truly there, that she was there with him. She reached up to touch the side of his face with the palm of her hand. "You're real." Her eyes watered at the edge of tears, unable to contain her emotions.

"Keh. Of course I'm real wench." Inu Yasha smiled gently at her, remembering those same words they had exchanged earlier that night.

"Kagome." He added again in the same soft, thoughtful voice, when she still didn't stir, as the beginnings of a smile began to tug at the corners of his lips. He closed his eyes and a placed a tender kiss on her forehead at the same time Kagome closed her own eyes and leaned in towards him to welcome the familiar kiss.

He had always kissed her that way when she was upset and he was attempting to soothe and reassure her. How many times had he held her when she was sick or frightened? He poured all his heart, all his soul, into that one little kiss, and each time Kagome's heart swelled and was grateful, that she had such a wonderful and amazing person in her life.

"My mate." She answered in reply to the kiss as she looked up into the depths of those warm amber pools that brimmed with love and adoration.

"I missed you." He replied, as his trademark grin spread across his face while quickly catching Kagome's lips in a soul searing, passionate kiss, their first in centuries. Thrusting his tongue inside her mouth, tasting her for the first time in what felt like a millennium, he simply could not get enough. He parted his own lips to allow her access inside as Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to deepen the kiss, if such a thing were possible. They devoured each other, their lips and mouths hungrily dancing together. A kiss that screamed of hunger, of need, of reassurance.

Finally, unable to hold the kiss any longer they parted, panting, attempting to regain their breaths as they touched foreheads to each other.

"But how?" Kagome asked when she had finally caught hold of her breath.

"I don't know." Inu Yasha was just as confused. "But I remember everything. I mean, I remember that life, and I remember this one."

Kagome nodded, letting her newly rediscovered mate know that she too was experiencing the same thing. Then suddenly, Kagome's head jerked up as the last memories of her past life flooded into her brain once again.

"But…but you… you…" She couldn't bring herself to say those words. To know that he had died, that she had seen it, that she had been unable to be with him in his last moments and that she had been unable to do anything to save him.

"Sssssh," he cooed softly, placing a finger on her swollen lips to silence the memory, "don't think about it. I know I don't want too."

Kagome swallowed and nodded, taking comfort in knowing that somehow they were here, now, together. "But what about Naraku?"

"I don't know. I'm guessing that something must have happened at the end because, well look, he hasn't taken over the future," Inu Yasha gestured to the city around him, "and no one really knows about demons and monsters in this time. They think its all fairy tales."

Kagome looked thoughtful, taking in what he had said. "But if we're back, maybe he is too."

"And if he is, I'll kill that fucking asshole!" Inu Yasha growled and clenched his fist, but his anger was quickly pacified when he felt Kagome throw her arms around him as she held him in an embrace so tight, she would have snapped his back if he had been human. He quickly wrapped his mate in a much gentler, but no less intense embrace.

After a few minutes of silence, the tender moment was dispelled by the sounds of Kagome's giggling.

"What's so funny?" He asked still holding onto her, but allowing one eye to crack open to peer down at the giggling girl.

Kagome released her grip on the hanyou as she locked gazes with him again. "Sango and Miroku." She laughed as realization finally dawned on Inu Yasha.

He grinned. "Hmpf. Looks like those two followed us here as well."

Kagome kept laughing. It was sweet music to Inu Yasha's ears. "Can you imagine how Sango would react if she remembered, especially seeing how open she is in her affections towards Miroku this time around?"

Inu Yasha smirked at the thought. The old Sango would never have let her feelings show so openly and would have pulverized the monk into a bloody mess for half the stuff he was getting away with this time around.

"I wonder who else followed us here, besides Kouga obviously." Inu Yasha gave an irritated growl at the wolf's name. They had never been enemies, exactly, nor had they ever really been allies. Their only common connection had been their mutual love for Kagome, and of course, the destruction of Naraku.

"Oh!" Kagome gave a little gasp as Inu Yasha focused his attention on her again.

"What?"

Kagome looked at him with a mischievous grin on her face. "I guess technically, you and I, well, we're not mates anymore."

This provoked an aggressive, jealous and extremely over protective growl from Inu Yasha as he looked down at her, causing his pupils to flicker a deep red as he looked into Kagome's eyes. He knew she was just teasing him, but still, he would teach her not to joke about things like that.

He growled low in his throat as Kagome began to pull back a little, unsure if perhaps she had gone a bit too far in her teasing. After all, she better then anyone, knew all about Inu Yasha's demon temper and instincts. She was about to say something to placate his anger when her heart caught in her throat at hearing his serious, husky, response.

"I can fix that."

*************

There was no doubt in their minds that the universe had come together, had conspired, to reunite two lost souls. The electricity in the air crackled around two figures that lay heated and panting in each others arms. A reunion of bodies, of spirits, that infused the very air around them with their passion, their love, their euphoria, of having found each other again. Of having finally come home.

As Inu Yasha looked down at Kagome's quivering body, perspiration coating her delicate skin in a shimmering sheen, he was dazzled by her beauty, as the moonlight poured in from his bedroom window. Her heated eyes, drowsy with passion, with lust, with love, sparkled as she looked up at him, a lazy smile quirking at the corner of her lips, as the moonlight bathed her in an ethereal glow. She looked like a goddess. And all he wanted to do was worship his goddess.

"Kagome." Her name fell like sweet nectar from his lips. Had there ever been a more beautiful word in the entire world?

"Inu Yasha." His name, in turn, had never been uttered by a more beautiful sound. He smiled when he thought that her voice did indeed sound like laughing rain, as her very presence, ignited the smoldering passions within him. Passions that had lain dormant, untouched, for centuries.

He hovered over her, leaning his weight on his elbows, on either side of her head. Inu Yasha looked deep into those crystal, blazing depths, that held the power to consume him entirely, and all he felt was gratefulness to whatever gods had aided them in finding each other again.

"It's almost like a dream." He whispered above her, his eyes never moving from her own, as if fearful that she might disappear and that all of this would have been a dream. He knew immediately that if she was torn from him now, he would die.

Kagome could see the conflicted emotions play across his face; love, fear, excitement, exhilaration, uncertainty, passion, contentment. She raised a hand and laid it gently against his cheek. The warmth of her fingertips sending delicious little bolts of electricity, running through his body, pooling in the hardness between his legs. He groaned at the pure ecstasy of her touch.

"I'm here Inu Yasha." She smiled at him, fighting back the tears that rimmed in her eyes, as her own disbelief and immense joy that they had been reunited, after so many years, threatened to spill uncontrollably. "I'm not going anywhere, Inu Yasha. I'm yours, forever."

He wasn't sure if he was waiting for those words, perhaps his soul simply refused to believe that she was truly here and truly his, until those three beautiful words fell like precious jewels from her lips. "I'm yours, forever."

Relief and exhilaration rushed through his body, as he captured her lips with his own, as she arched her body into him, rising up off the soft mattress to meet him, to welcome him back into her embrace. Inu Yasha slid an arm under her back, balancing his weight on one elbow, as he drew her closer to him, pushing his hard, ready body, against her soft, delicate frame. He groaned in painful bliss as he felt her hot, wet, heated core against his thigh. He licked at her lips, pushing his tongue past her soft, warm entrance, tasting every crevice, every dip of her hot little mouth, while their tongues fought for dominance.

Kagome's eyes closed in heady pleasure, her mind swimming in a sea of ecstasy with the simple pleasures of Inu Yasha's body molded against her own, Inu Yasha's mouth devouring her soul, Inu Yasha's hands, worshipping her body. It was more then anything she could have ever hoped for, ever dreamt, ever fantasized. Every touch on her hot, quivering skin, spoke to the core of her being, as her soul sang in joy.

Inu Yasha ran his warm, silky tongue, down the side of her neck, as he nipped at her delicate skin, soothing it with his tongue, as the saltiness of her skin rolled down his tongue to stoke the fires of his passion. He suckled at her skin, basking in the whimpers of pleasure that racked through Kagome's body, as he ran his clawed hands gently down her ivory skin. The shivers that rippled through her body, as Kagome arched into him wildly, left a smug confidence in him, knowing that only he had ever been able to make her react that way. She had always been so responsive to his touch, as he massaged her skin beneath his hands, touching, feeling, remembering every part of her, as he memorized every freckle, every blemish, every delicious place on her body.

He felt her hands come up, fisting in his hair, as she rubbed gently at his ears. A shiver ran down Inu Yasha's spine at the feel of her careful, gentle touch. His eyes clouded over in bliss at the feel of her fingers lightly scratching at the base of his ears, as a deep rumble of contented pleasure rolled through his body. The sound vibrating through his chest as Kagome's breath caught in her throat. The sound, the feelings, the vibrations, sent her spiraling down a corridor of brilliant light, as the vibrations ignited every cell in her body, spiraling through her core, curling her toes in unbelievable desire, as her need for him exploded into a raging fire between her thighs.

"Oh…gods, Inu Yasha." She moaned, throwing her head back into the pillow, as she grasped the sheets below her, fisting her hands to keep from loosing control as the vibrations finally ebbed from her body.

Inu Yasha smirked as he trailed his tongue down her chest, flicking his tongue at a nipple, as he watched it harden and peak before him. Smiling at the sounds of pleasure falling from Kagome's lips, he clasped his mouth over her hard nipple, suckling at her skin, as his hands rolled and pulled at her breasts beneath him. A loud moan erupted from Kagome at the feel of his hot, wet mouth encircling her breasts. She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer, her need to be completely taken by him, to be wrapped up in him, overwhelming all of her senses.

"Inu Yasha, please!" She all but yelled through gritted teeth. The sweet, torturous pleasure he was bestowing to her breast was pushing her past her point of endurance.

"What's that Kagome?" He grinned cockily as he rolled a hard nipple between his thumb and finger, while pulling gently on the other with his teeth, biting gently at the swollen skin. "Did you say something?"

His only response back was of Kagome's hips, bucking up into his own, as she repositioned her legs on the bed. The feel of her wet core bucking into him had its desired affect, as he bit back a growl, clamping down on his instincts to take her and claim her as his mate. But he had waited centuries for this, and he was not about to rush it.

If Kagome had been able to open her eyes, she would have seen the glint of predatory anticipation bleed through Inu Yasha's golden pools, as he began to crawl down her body, lavishing every part of her body with the feel of his tongue, as he nipped and licked at her flesh, Kagome's body twitching madly beneath him as she struggled to find some kind of release for the need threatening to overtake her.

He followed her warm, spicy scent, where it pooled at the juncture between her thighs, as he pushed her legs up, so that they bent at the knees. Kagome barely noticed as he positioned her just the way he wanted her, until he blew softly on the little bundle of nerves hidden there, when Kagome's eyes shot wide open, as wave after wave of sensations bolted through her body. Her hips jerked up from the bed, but Inu Yasha quickly pushed her back down, holding her hips down with his hands, as he continued to blow on her hot core. Kagome's eyes rolled back into her head, her back slumping to the bed, gripping at the sheets below her, as she gave herself up to Inu Yasha's ministrations as he worshiped at her core.

He grinned wickedly. He loved that he held such control over her, able to bring her such pleasure with nothing but the breath from his lips. It made him feel powerful. He flicked a tongue out, softly, gently, in a teasing manner as Kagome struggled to squirm under his touch, her bundle of nerves aching to find that touch on its own, as it sought his tongue again in eager anticipation. Never one to disappoint, Inu Yasha dragged his tongue across her moist mound as Kagome's choked sounds of pleasure gasped through her mouth. He lapped at her center, reveling in the sweet, delicious taste of everything that was Kagome. He closed his eyes in deep contentment as he ravaged her core. Nipping at her nub, as he licked at her, pushing his tongue within her, probing her, as her whimpers of need drove him on.

He knew she was reaching her climax, as her breath began to come in heavy pants, faster and faster, as she gave herself up totally to him. Her eyes screwed shut as she allowed herself to feel the delicious vibrations course through her body and coil in her abdomen. He lapped at her, faster and faster, as he swirled his tongue at her core, dipping a finger within her entrance as she bucked wildly in his hands.

Kagome was sure she would die. The feel of Inu Yasha lapping wildly at her core, as he dragged his tongue and his teeth over her mound, sent her spiraling in a tangible world of ecstasy and bliss. His fingers pushing within her, driving her to the brink, as her body fought for release. Inu Yasha's pace quickened below her, her heavy panting coming now if fast, quick breaths of air. She could feel herself, right there, approaching the crescendo of this beautiful little world he had brought her too, as her body quivered, struggling for the final push that would send her cascading over the edge, when Inu Yasha suddenly buried himself deep within her core, thrusting his aching member wildly within her, piercing his dagger into her soul. He pushed into her, her legs held over his shoulders, as he rammed his throbbing member into her warm wet sheath. She screamed his name in unquestionable ecstasy as her mind exploded into a world of colors and sensations as she felt Inu Yasha's teeth clamp down on her neck, breaking the skin, as she let the explosion of pure euphoria rock through her body. She heard Inu Yasha howl in her neck, as electricity shot through their joined bodies, as the fire of their passions burned within them. They allowed the aftershock ripples of their violent orgasm, to numb their bodies into a blissful state of a gentle buzzing euphoria, as a calming contentment washed over them, their souls celebrating in the joining of their missing halves.

The cool night air and whipping winds, sang through the trees outside, humbled by the presence of such love, of such devotion, as a gentle drizzle of rain began to drop from the sky, as if they very universe itself, wept in joy.

*********************

Kagome sighed as she felt the warm sunshine on her face, caressing her into a state of semi-consciousness. She smiled warmly as she felt heat and pressure against her back. Her eyes fluttered open as she slowly turned to gaze at the body pressed up behind her. Her smile widened as she found herself gazing into two deep golden pools.

"Good morning mate." Inu Yasha said with a grin as he squeezed his grip around Kagome's waist, fondly remembering the activities of the previous night that had run deep into the early morning.

"Good afternoon mate." Kagome giggled lightly in return.

Inu Yasha smirked as he placed a chaste kiss on the side of Kagome's forehead. "What can I say, we had a lot of catching up to do."

He laughed as he noticed the hint of red that began to color Kagome's cheeks. She in turn scrunched her nose up at him. "What are you laughing at?"

This only made Inu Yasha laugh more. She was so cute sometimes. "You." He replied, his eyes twinkling in adoration of his mate as he turned her in his embrace so she was now half lying on his chest, mouths inches apart.

"Why?"

"Kagome," he swept her bangs from out of her eyes, "we've been mated for how many years, and you still blush." He tried to keep the laughter out of his voice.

Kagome reddened again, deeper then before, as she spoke in a huffy voice. "What do you expect Inu Yasha. Technically I haven't been with you for 21 years, give or take a few centuries to boot. It's been a while." She swatted him playfully on the shoulder, while sticking her tongue out at him to ensure he got the message. She had to be quick though, she knew. Inu Yasha was fast enough to grab hold of it from time to time and would laugh himself silly at Kagome trying to yell at him while his fingers held firmly onto her tongue.

"Actually, its been almost two centuries for me." A slight trace of hurt, mingled with loneliness, etched its way into his voice.

"What!?" Kagome exclaimed, rising up on her elbows as she hovered over Inu Yasha. "Wha…how…I don't understand," she sputtered, "I thought you were reincarnated the same time as me."

Inu Yasha shook his head. "For some reason, I came before you. Although, I didn't realize that I was missing my mate. I just traveled, aimlessly, never getting close to anyone, never feeling like I could." His voice faltered slightly.

"Oh, Inu Yasha," Kagome whispered as she cupped his cheek with her hand, while resting her weight on her elbow. "I'm so sorry."

She didn't know what else to say, what to think. She hurt inside knowing that Inu Yasha had been left alone, without her, for so long. They still didn't know why they had actually regained their memories of each other, but to know that Inu Yasha had suffered silently for so long, ripped at her heart. Tears began brimming in her eyes.

"Don't cry Kagome," Inu Yasha placed a hand to her cheek, "we're together now, and that's all that matters." He pulled her head down to him and kissed her on the forehead. Kagome nodded and sighed at his gentle touch.

Looking back into Inu Yasha's eyes startled her for a moment, her eyes going wide at Inu Yasha's hungry expression. He quickly flipped Kagome onto her back, hovering over her, as he nuzzled his face into her neck, licking the base of where her neck met her shoulder, grazing the spot where his mark laid claim to her. He nipped at her ear, running his clawed hands gently down her arm and crossing over to her stomach. Kagome shivered as he continued to lightly rake his claws down the smooth soft flesh of her thigh. His deep, throaty purr, echoed in her ear as her eyes screwed shut and she gasped when she felt his hand slide between her legs, rubbing at the heated flesh of her core as he breathed heavily into her ear.

"Like I said, we have some catching up to do."
