InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Children of Light ❯ Chapter 13 ( Chapter 13 )

"Kagome, what's up?" Sango asked, concerned about her friend's odd behavior the last couple of days.

"Huh?" Kagome replied, being drawn out of her thoughts by the tone of Sango's voice.

"Kagome," she repeated, as she reached out to grab Kagome by the arm, halting her in her steps. "Listen, I don't think going shopping today was a good idea."

"What do you mean?"

"It's obvious your mind is a million miles away." Sango released Kagome from her grip.

"Sorry Sango." Kagome looked guilty as she starred down at the very interesting linoleum floor, a little embarrassed that Sango had caught her zoning out.

But Sango's warm smile reassured her. "Don't worry about it. Just tell me what's up," she added in that, `you can tell me anything, because I'm your best friend' tone of voice.

"Oh, it's nothing really." What was she suppose to tell her? Sango still didn't remember anything about who they really were. Kagome sighed in frustration. "It would be so much easier if Sango could only remember," she thought as she looked up into her friends disbelieving gaze.

Knowing that she had to say something more to appease her friend's curiosity, she decided to go with half-truths. At least that way she wouldn't be totally lying to her best friend.

"I just haven't been sleeping well, that's all. I keep having these really weird and intense dreams, but then I don't remember them. They just sort of hang there, just out of reach, and no matter how hard I try, I just can't make sense of them." Kagome looked at Sango with that, `please understand me' face when Sango's sympathetic smile came to her rescue.

"I know what you mean, and it drives me crazy too." Sango reassured as she hooked her arm in Kagome's and began walking happily down the busy mall once again. "Best thing to do in a situation like that is to shop the nerves away. Spending money cures what ails ya!" Sango added with a toothy smile. Kagome laughed at her friend. She loved that Sango could always make her feel better about anything.

They walked contently along the mall, chatting and gossiping like usual. Sango had just asked Kagome what she and Inu Yasha were up to that night when Kagome froze in her tracks.

"What's wrong Kagome?" Sango asked curiously, not sure why her friend had stopped so suddenly. A stunning new pair of shoes perhaps, in a store window? Sango knew what a sucker for shoes Kagome was.

But Kagome didn't hear Sango speaking to her. She was concentrating on the icy feeling that was slowly crawling down her spine. Something was close. Something not… good. She reached out with her senses in an attempt to locate the feeling, when she felt something repel her aura. Strongly. Kagome staggered for a moment under the unexpected assault and felt Sango reach out to grab her and steady her.

"Kagome?" she asked again, worry creeping its way into her voice.

Suddenly the icy feeling vanished.

"I'm fine Sango, really. Just…just a little light headed that's all." Kagome placed a hand to forehead as if somehow that would help wipe the memory of the unsettling feeling from her mind. "Maybe we should get some lunch, I skipped breakfast this morning."

Sango gave her an odd look, not really sure if she should believe her or not. After all, Kagome had been acting quite strangely for the last month or so, ever since she had gotten together with Inu Yasha. At least, strange for Kagome, which was saying quite a bit since Kagome was always a little bit `off' from others, but Sango liked that about her friend. And she liked Inu Yasha too. He seemed to make Kagome happy. In fact, Sango had never known her friend to be happier then when she was with Inu Yasha and it made Sango feel good to see that. Kagome had always kept herself emotionally separate from the rest of the world, and it was so great to see her finally opening up.

"Okay," Sango replied, not wanting to pry if Kagome wasn't ready to tell her the truth. "Let's hit the food court. I could go for something greasy and unhealthy." Sango winked, "I'll get a bigger ass, but at least Miroku will say he's got more to grab." Both girls began laughing and headed towards the food court.

None of them noticed the pair of dark, unwelcome eyes that followed them across the mall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So you never said," Sango continued as she and Kagome dropped their food trays on a table near the back of the food court where there were less people, so they could talk more easily.

"Never said what?" Kagome asked confused, in between bites of the salty french-fry she had snagged from Sango's tray.

"If you and Inu Yasha had any plans tonight." Sango took a quick sip of her pop before starting on her bacon cheeseburger.

"Oh that. Yeah, we do."

"whmpf are ou mfoomfng?" Sango attempted to ask in between bites of her burger.

Kagome, use to her friends need to `talk while you eat' habit, didn't miss a beat. "I don't know. He said it was some club that a friend of his works at and he wants to take me." Kagome took a careful bite out of her very hot pepperoni pizza.

"Well that should be fun. You'll have to let me know how it is. That way if it's any good, we could all go down together some time." Sango swallowed another bite of her very tasty burger.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a full report." Kagome smiled as she popped another one of Sango's french-fries into her mouth.

Sango glared at her fry-stealing friend. Then quickly reached her arm over to pluck a cheesy covered pepperoni from Kagome's pizza and after dangling the cheesy part over her mouth for a couple of seconds, popped the stolen goods into her mouth. Both girls glared at each other and then burst out laughing.

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

"Come on Inu Yasha. Just tell me where we're going." Kagome whined again to her mate who refused to answer any of her questions.

"I told you already bitch." Inu Yasha was getting annoyed at Kagome's inability to move any faster then a slug as she attempted to get ready. How long exactly did she need in that damn bathroom!?

Kagome sighed. "Boy, I sure forgot how much I *loved* that nickname!" she sarcastically grumbled under her breath as she finished applying the last bit of blue eye shadow to her lids, and adjusted her short, black spaghetti strapped dress.

Inu Yasha's voice floated in from the living room, "What was that bitch?" Kagome rolled her eyes. She knew he had heard her, and was trying to be funny. Kagome flicked off the light switch in the bathroom as she walked out to the living room to grab her coat and head out.

Meanwhile, Inu Yasha was getting impatient. "Damn it woman do I have to… drag… you…"

Inu Yasha's words faltered in his throat as he turned to find Kagome standing just outside the bathroom door, her arms on her hips, clearly annoyed with his impatient attitude. She was just so… so beautiful. The way her bottom lip stuck out just the tinniest bit as she glared her annoyance at him. The way the light caught her hair so that it looked almost blue, and the way her dress clung to her curves, and the sexy way her hands rested on her hips. It was just too much.

Before Kagome could even begin to voice a sarcastic retort to her obnoxious mate, she found herself pressed up against the wall next to the bathroom with Inu Yasha's hands on her waist and his hot breath just inches from her face. He was breathing hard. Apparently, he seemed to have a thing for bathroom walls these days.

"Kagome," he breathed her name hotly into her ear as she closed her eyes and let the pleasant shudder of his breath on her skin course through her body.

He dipped his head towards her neck and deeply inhaled her scent, allowing it to further feed his arousal. He nipped at her neck as he pushed his body closer to hers. He could hear soft sighs of pleasure escape her lips. He grinned. When suddenly, he felt her small hands push on his chest, a gesture clearly meant to push him away.

Inu Yasha pulled his head back to look her in the eyes. "What is it?" He was confused by her actions.

Kagome continued to push on his chest until he unconsciously took a step backwards. "Now, now, puppy, be good. We are in a rush after all, aren't we?" Kagome smirked. Inu Yasha's ears flattened on his head as he growled low in his throat.

"Damn it bitch, this is no time for games." He growled, pushing Kagome back against the wall, eliciting a squeak from her as she suddenly found herself trapped between a rock and a hard place. The hard place of course, being Inu Yasha's muscular body molding itself against her, as his apparent arousal dug into her thigh. He roughly claimed her lips with his own, running his clawed hands lightly down her bare shoulders.

Kagome struggled to fight off the waves of pleasure wracking through her body. His gentle, yet deadly claws sent ripples of pure ecstasy running down her spine. She tried to push him away. She was determined to not let him get his way after he had made such a commotion about her being too slow. But he just ground his hips into her more forcefully. His hard erection pressed firmly against her thigh was making it very difficult for Kagome to remember why she was trying to keep him away in the first place.

Inu Yasha could feel her trying to resist him but that just made him cockier and more determined, as he continued to devour her mouth with his own, cupping her firm breasts over her silky dress, playing with the hard nub of flesh he could feel beneath the material. Her restrained moans only drove him harder, as he slid a hand under her dress to rub against the soft nub of her core.

Kagome gasped as she felt Inu Yasha reach under her dress and stoke the fires burning wildly between her thighs. She tried to open her eyes, to see him through the haze of her highly euphoric mind, when she noticed that somehow, Inu Yasha had managed to unzip and lower his pants around his knees.

"When did that happen?" she managed to briefly wonder before her thoughts were quickly silenced, throwing her head back at the feel of Inu Yasha's claws shredding her already non existent thong panties. All sense of control, reason and the will to fight him was obliterated from her fuzzy mind when he slipped a finger into her wet and ready core.

Inu Yasha stroked her from within, dipping his finger inside her and then slowly, torturously, dragging it out, building up the pressure he knew was coiling in the pit of her stomach. Upon feeling his mate arch madly into his touch as she searched for relief from his hands, rubbing herself against him, Inu Yasha slowly removed his finger from her hot dripping sheath and lifted her legs to wrap them around his waist, while using the wall to support Kagome's back.

Kagome eagerly clamped her legs around him, needing him to fill that aching void he had left burning within her as she thrust her hips towards him as he groaned in response, his ears laying themselves straight back. Inu Yasha couldn't explain it, but he needed her and he needed her now! It never surprised him how easily Kagome could turn him into a ravaging animal. She ignited the lust and need that burned in his demon blood, with nothing but a glance, and it was that blood that was screaming at him to take her now. For the simple, animalistic pleasure of domination over the beautiful, unearthly creature, who could so easily bring him to his knees.

Kagome's legs wrapped securely around him as he lifted her and quickly turned from the wall to lay her on her back, in the middle of the hallway, just inches from the bathroom and its full length mirror, careful not to trip over his pants that were already riding low around his legs. Kagome looked up at him through hazy eyes, noticing the red that was steadily leaking into those golden pools, but she wasn't afraid. She knew his demon blood was the dominant force at the moment, and wasn't surprised when he quickly turned her over and pulled her onto her hands and knees.

The sounds of Inu Yasha's panting told her just how hard he was struggling to maintain his human control, when he entered her forcefully from behind causing both their heated cries to rip through the apartment. Kagome caught brief glances of Inu Yasha's animal heat through the reflection of the bathroom's full length mirror before them, as he thrust into her, impaling her onto his hard aching member, at the same time he leaned over her, his mouth finding its way to the juncture between her neck and her shoulder, where his mark clearly identified her as his mate. He clamped his mouth down on the mark, gently breaking the skin as Kagome screamed in absolute bliss.

The feel of her mate's teeth on the sensitive part of her neck sparked millions of tiny, euphoric bolts tingling through every nerve in her body, combined with the feel of his hard shaft piercing its way into her soul, as he pounded mercilessly into her from behind with a force that drove her onto her elbows, was almost more then she thought she could handle, driving her almost over the edge.

They grinded into each other's touch as Inu Yasha held onto her hips, pummeling wildly into his mate, his eyes bleeding red, his grunts echoing in the background, while Kagome could do nothing but lay her head on her arms, gripping the floor as best she could with the tips of her fingers, as she held onto the ride, for everything it was worth. Slamming into her, he raised her head slightly by his mouth's grip on her neck, enough so that they could both watch their reflections in the mirror as Inu Yasha dominated over his mate, and as his mate, in turn, subdued herself to her Alpha male. There was no greater pleasure, no greater aphrodisiac then that, for a dog-demon.

Each time his body slammed back into her, her desperate need for release flamed within as she cried out. He continued to thrust deeply and savagely into her, his eyes burning red, as a low vibratory rumble sounded in his chest, shooting glorious ripples of ecstasy through Kagome's back, as they traveled quickly through her body, each time driving her closer to the brink of release. Sensing his own completion nearing, Inu Yasha clamped down hard on Kagome's shoulder as he buried himself to the hilt, driving her as hard and as deep as he could onto his throbbing member, causing both of their orgasms to finally, blissfully, explode around them as a dog-demon's euphoric howl ripped through the air.

Falling off the edge had never been more freeing.,

***********

"The Demon Connection?" Kagome repeated as she and Inu Yasha climbed out of the car while she quickly put on her short, white leather jacket to cover her bare shoulders as they began walking down the dark, and in Kagome's opinion, highly questionable alley.

Inu Yasha nodded his head as he grabbed Kagome's hand with his own and pulled her closer to him. Kagome looked at him, clearly wanting him to clarify.

"It's a demon bar, Kagome."

"A demon bar? But how?" Kagome had no idea that such a thing existed. Inu Yasha had never mentioned it before. They continued to walk down the alley, but at a slower pace, so Inu Yasha could quickly explain it to her as he removed his concealing beads from around his neck. Kagome hated it whenever he wore it because she couldn't see his ears. Thankfully, the only times he wore it was when it was absolutely necessary.

"Yeah, it's where all types of demons hang out, kind of a safe haven. No one's allowed to fight or cause problems in the demon bars. Everyone sort of works together to keep trouble makers out. It's a place where demons don't have to worry about letting their real natures show, and the only humans allowed in, are the ones that come with demons."

"Cool!" Inu Yasha looked down and smirked at her ecstatic reply. Of course Kagome would think that was cool.

"It's not bad," Inu Yasha added in an off handed way. "It has its uses sometimes."

"Are you sure it'll be okay though, if I'm there?" Kagome was feeling a little concerned. A bar full of demons?

Inu Yasha gave his characteristic snort. "Of course bitch, you're my mate. And they'll know that too, so don't worry. Besides, you won't be leaving my side." He added the last statement in a stern tone, as he stared down at her, letting her know that he would not allow her to challenge his authority on that one.

Kagome swallowed and nodded her head in agreement. She wasn't scared. She knew Inu Yasha would keep her safe, but she didn't particularly want to go against her mate on this one either.

They approached a large, rusty looking door. The faint thrumming of music could be heard from inside, but only if you strained to hear it. Inu Yasha knocked on the heavy doors. Almost immediately, a small view pane slid open near the top of the door as two dark, though nearly translucent eyes, peered down at them.

Inu Yasha placed his arm around Kagome's shoulder, drawing her closer to him as he looked up into the peering eyes, "Open up!" he barked harshly.

The eyes looked down at him, a hint of mischief sparkling around the edges of the irises.

"What's the secret password?" the deep voice asked in amusement.

Inu Yasha bared his fangs and glared into the small view pane, "Now."

The heavy metal doors swung silently open and Kagome was instantly assaulted with the loud sounds of music blaring from inside. It surprised her that the music hadn't been louder from outside. Inu Yasha winced and laid his ears flat against his head as he waited for his sensitive hearing to adjust to the loud environment.

They crossed the threshold, hearing the door slam shut quickly behind them as soon as they were far enough inside. Kagome jumped, feeling a little uneasy with all the demon aura's that began to assault her senses, when she heard a deep chuckle come from behind her.

"First time?" a voice spoke pleasantly as Kagome looked behind her to see the man that had permitted them into the club. Although, it was clear he was not a man. Most likely a wild boar demon if his large size and the tusks were any kind of hint. Kagome blushed and looked away, giving a slight nod of the head.

"Hey, leave her alone Doro." Inu Yasha replied as he looked at the demon behind him. "That's my mate you're talking too."

Said demon raised his hands in a placating gesture. "Hey Inu Yasha, nothing by it, you know. Just trying to make the little Mrs. here, feel welcome."

Inu Yasha `keh'd and walked deeper into the bar.

Kagome couldn't believe it. It was like stepping into another world. There were so many demons around her, everywhere! In one corner she saw a couple of wolf demons, on the dance floor she spotted some eagle demons and cat demons. She was sure that was a dog demon, a human and some kind of reptile demon, doing tequila shots at the bar.

Inu Yasha smiled down at her. He could tell by the look on her face that she was entranced by her surroundings. He chuckled quietly to himself as he watched her eyes dart around the room, drinking in everything she was seeing.

The bar itself was illuminated in low lighting. Deep reds and midnight blacks the colors of choice, contrasted with stark, metal tables and chairs. Strobe lights highlighted various colors throughout the whole bar, while the dance floor in the corner thrummed with demons and even some humans, dancing to the hypnotic music the tiger demon DJ was currently playing. There were tables and chairs strewn around the room, and even some more comfortable looking chairs around a fireplace in another corner, where one could talk more easily. Kagome couldn't even name all the different types of demons she saw, never mind the ones that looked human, but clearly weren't, by the feel of their auras. Kagome was spell bound. One thing was for sure, she could forget telling Sango about this place.

It took all her strength to tear her gaze from her surroundings to turn and look at Inu Yasha who was smiling down at her. "Inu Yasha, this is so great! But why are we here? Who are we suppose to meet?" She still wasn't sure what their purpose was.

"You'll see. It's back this way." He pointed to the other end of the bar.

Following his direction with her eyes, Kagome noticed that the bar seemed to open up into another room, down at the end, which currently had a deep red curtain acting as a doorway, hung across the threshold.

Inu Yasha pulled Kagome with him as they walked deeper into the bar and in the general direction of the red curtain. Kagome could hear shouts of recognition as various demons called out greetings to Inu Yasha as he passed. Inu Yasha gave a quick nod in reply as he continued to walk to his destination when he felt Kagome stop behind him.

He turned to see what was keeping her and noticed her staring off in another direction of the bar. He wasn't sure what she was looking at.

"What is it?" he asked, a little worried that maybe she was starting to feel uncomfortable.

Kagome hadn't noticed Inu Yasha stop with her, much less speak to her, as her eyes remained glued to a man standing at the counter of one of the back bars. Although the person looked human, Kagome was almost sure he was not. She could feel something strangely through his aura, but nothing she could identify. It was strange; she had never sensed this type of aura before.

The man had shoulder length, wavy blond hair and was dressed in rich dark velvets, something of an older style, with a modern touch. He looked chic and enticing in his garments, and he was currently speaking to a male friend, who sported shorter, darker hair, but was dressed simply in black jeans and a dark, button up shirt. Kagome could not take her eyes from the man, when suddenly, the man sensing her presence, turned to look her in the eye. His eyes flashed a slight violet hue under the violet sunglasses he wore, as he smiled widely for her, giving her a peak at a very white, very sharp canine. Kagome gasped.

"Kagome!" Inu Yasha shook his unresponsive mate.

"Huh?" Kagome finally replied as she quickly pulled her gaze from the man who had discovered her staring.

Inu Yasha looked carefully into her eyes. "You Okay?" he asked with an arched eyebrow. "What's with her?" he wondered, "she was fine just a second ago. I hope it wasn't a mistake bringing her here."

He was pulled out of his thoughts when he saw Kagome's eyes widen at something she was staring at behind him. Inu Yasha let go of Kagome's arm as he turned to see what she was staring at, when he came face to face with the same pair of violet sunglasses that had unknowingly entranced his mate.

"What the?" Inu Yasha replied, startled by the quick appearance of the person behind him. But recognition quickly registered in the hanyou's face as he continued to address the new arrival.

"Keh. What do you want?" Inu Yasha asked, though his voice carried a tone of friendly familiarity towards the new arrival.

"Now, now Inu Yasha," came the deep, rich Parisian accent, as the new comer smiled, never taking his eyes off of Kagome.

"I see that you have brought a friend. How unlike you." He smiled wickedly as he lifted Kagome's hand to his lips to place a quick, chaste kiss on the back of her hand, "Mon Cheriè," he said softly, grinning at her through his eyes, causing her to blush a deep red as she snatched her hand back. His lips, they had been so…cold.

Inu Yasha growled threateningly as he stood between Kagome and the new comer. "Hey, watch it, that's my mate."

Kagome was understandably shocked that Inu Yasha had reacted as calmly as he did to the action. Normally, Inu Yasha would have been tearing off body parts on any male that would even think of touching her like that.

"My apologies, Inu Yasha, and congratulations." The mystery man added with a smile as he nodded to Inu Yasha.

Kagome decided that these two must know each other very well somehow, but she was still curious about who this person actually was. He seemed strangely familiar to her somehow, but couldn't seem to place him. He continued to speak in his delicious French accent.

"Would you at least be so kind as to introduce us, so that I may congratulate your new mate, as well?"

"Yeah, sure, but watch yourself!" Inu Yasha snapped at the man. "This is Kagome." He turned to look at his wide-eyed mate. What was with her?

"Kagome," he began, turning back to his friend, "this bloodsucker is Lioncourt."

Kagome's voice hitched in her throat as she jerked her hands to her mouth to ineffectively cover the gasp that had escaped her lips. Inu Yasha turned to look at Kagome, trying to understand her reaction. She was… was she shaking? What the hell was going on!?

"Oh…oh my," Kagome barely managed to stutter. This couldn't possibly be real, this couldn't be happening. No, this was NOT REAL! There was no possible way in the universe that the person standing before her was, undoubtedly, her most favorite character of all time, from what was suppose to be a series of fiction novels.

The gentlemen smirked at the recognition that had sparked in the girl's eyes. Oh this was going to be fun.

"A fan, qui?" he asked in his most sultry voice.

Kagome, unable to utter a word, simply nodded stupidly. Her heart beat wildly in her chest.

"What the hell is going on!?" Inu Yasha barked, annoyed at his mate's reaction and at what was transpiring between the two. How could Kagome possibly know his friend? What the hell was going on!?

"Kagome!?" He snapped angrily.

Completely unfazed by her mate's annoyance, Kagome continued to stare dumbly at the violet tinted eyes before her, as she finally managed to find her vocal chords. She strained to keep the sheer ecstatic jubilation from shaking her voice as she spoke.

"You…you're… you're the Vampire Lestat!"

"The one and only," he grinned mischievously as he bowed deeply.
