InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cracking My Heart ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

Lemon alert! If you don't like it, the clean version is posted at fanfiction (dot) net. My name there is Akihanah.

 

Inuyasha moaned as he rolled out of bed to answer the sounds of a screaming pup.

 

Why does this happen at ungodly hours of the morning?

 

He gently eased the pup out of her crib and rocked her.

 

“Inuyasha?”

 

He turned to face the woman half asleep on the bed. She was propped up on an elbow, and looked extremely tired.

 

“Go back to sleep. I got it.” She nodded wearily and lay back down. She had just been discharged from the hospital that morning, and was still somewhat exhausted from the effects of giving birth.

 

Inuyasha rocked Hyumaru for several more minutes before laying her back down in her crib. The girl sighed happily in her sleep and settled down. Inuyasha let out a silent breath and returned to his bed. He crawled back under and over to the now sleeping Kagome. He pulled her into his arms, waiting for her to shift into a more comfortable position. He took a deep breath of her scent, and followed her into slumber.

 

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

 

After several weeks Hyumaru settled down enough that they were able to move her to another room. She would generally sleep through the night if both Inuyasha and Kagome would come and hold her before she slept. Inuyasha mentioned something about their scents being comforting to the pup, but Kagome was just happy that she was able to sleep through the night again. It was also really pleasing that she was able to sleep without worrying about her large belly.

 

Kagome sat on the couch, one eye on the girl sitting with a stuffed dog several feet away, the other on her most recent sketch. Hyumaru made for interesting drawing material.

 

Kagome was now unsure about getting a job. She had known before that she would need to get a job to support herself and her child, but she had never anticipated Inuyasha taking them both in. She knew that he could provide easily for all three of them, but she felt useless, just living there. There was only one car, which he drove to the city in the morning. She couldn't just take Hyumaru around all day; the girl would get bored and Kagome would be exhausted.

 

She had done some cleaning around the house, but it made her feel like an old fashioned house wife, who waited patiently for her husband to return. She couldn't even buy groceries, because of their distance from anything else. She had accumulated quite a few sketches though, but she was quickly running out of drawing material. Hyumaru had provided sorely needed fresh ideas, but after a few weeks Kagome was again scavenging things to draw.

 

She glanced at the clock and moaned. It's only 10 am. What am I going to do for the rest of the day?

 

The trill of the phone caused Hyumaru to start screaming, and Kagome groaned as she ran to pick it up. She pulled it up and snarled “What?” (A N I did this once. Don't follow my example.)

 

There was silence on the other end of the line. Suddenly, the dial tone came on, signaling whoever it was had hung up. She groaned and put the phone back on the receiver.

 

“That's going to come back and bite me in the ass, I just know it.” She said aloud, before turning her gaze to the still hysterical girl. She sighed and went to her.

 

“Hush, Hyu, it's alright, just the phone.” The girl reached out her little arms, and Kagome pulled her up into an embrace. The pup buried her nose in her mother, and sniffed at her. Kagome stroked her hair, reminded of the times that Inuyasha would do that. Holding her in an embrace, burying his nose in her neck or hair. Kagome sat on the couch. Soon enough the child was sleeping in her lap. She sighed and lay back against the couch.

 

It's gonna be a long day.

 

The sound of the garage door opening startled her. She immediately stood and walked to the door. “He shouldn't be home yet.” She mumbled to herself. She rounded the corner to see Inuyasha closing the door behind him. She stared.

 

“What are you doing home so early?” she asked, confused. He looked at her with concern in his eyes. In a swift movement he was there, holding her close while being careful of the baby she held.

 

“Um,” Kagome said, “you wouldn't happen to be the one I snapped at on the phone, would you?”

 

He kissed her cheek, then gave a single solemn nod. She blushed immediately and looked down. “Sorry,” she muttered. “I shouldn't have done that.”

 

He squeezed her shoulders. “How about I take you guys out? It's been awhile.”

 

Kagome simply nodded, and went to grab various baby essentials.

 

Twenty minutes later all three of them were sitting on a park bench, watching people walk past.

 

“So,” Inuyasha commented casually, “any particular reason you snapped at me?”

 

Kagome flinched. She had known he would bring it up eventually.

 

“I was frustrated.” She mumbled.

 

“About what?” he pressed.

 

“I just was, okay?” she snapped.

 

Inuyasha curled back, his arm slipping off her shoulder. Kagome couldn't stop; it felt like the dam had been breached.

 

“It feels like I'm becoming an old-fashioned housewife. I want to do something, see stuff. But I can't, because I have to stay home and mind the kid. I was so independent in school, I had dreams, and really good chances for a future. But now I can't, because I have to stay at your house all day with nothing to do but mind Hyumaru. I could always scrub the floors, or maybe wash your clothes while I wait for you to come home?” Kagome was really angry now, but she didn't care. It felt good to finally get this out.

 

“You don't know how it feels to be useless. Trapped, confined to something. I can't even leave the house, thanks to that one stupid mistake I made ten months ago.”

 

“You have me.” Inuyasha said softly.

 

Kagome rounded on him. “You?! It's your bloody fault I'm in this mess. If it weren't for you, I'd be living my own life now, I'd be able to do what I wanted, live my dreams.”

 

Inuyasha's ears twitched, and he snarled at her. “So you're saying I'm a mistake?”

 

Kagome glared right back at him. “The worst of my life.”

 

Inuyasha looked like he wanted to hit her. He finally growled loudly and stood. He silently grabbed Hyumaru's things, and scooped up the girl, who was now whimpering. His attention turned to her. His face softened, and he stroked her cheek tenderly. Without so much as a second glance behind him he strode off, leaving Kagome on the park bench.

 

Kagome sat there for a long time, thinking.

 

Why didn't he fight back? He just let me rant, and then, left. It doesn't make any sense.

 

You know, he did come for you when you were in a bad mood. He took you out. Maybe he understands a little what you're going through.

 

How? He has gotten to do everything he wanted to. He has the job he wanted. All he had to do in the wake of that incident was take me and my child in, and even then, he didn't have to.

 

He did though. For your sake. It would have been much harder for you if you had to support yourself and Hyu on low wage jobs. And, eventually Sango would have moved in with Miroku, and there isn't much cheap housing in that area, you would have had to move into the cheaper area of town, which is less safe, and not within walking distance of Sango and Miroku.

 

Well, life just sucks right now. There is no good way for me to go.

 

Other than the boring little housewife, who basically keeps the house waiting for her husband to return.

 

I don't want that. I never did. Yet, here I am.

 

Kagome started wandering, lost in thought. Sometime in the afternoon she found herself at Sango and Miroku's apartment. In something of a daze she climbed the stairs.

 

“Kagome?” She turned to find Sango climbing the stairs with several full shopping bags. She hastened to grab two. Sango and Kagome made their way to the apartment in silence. Sango unlocked the door and let them both in. Sango spent several minutes putting away the food while Kagome sat on the couch. Finally Sango joined her and they both sat in silence.

 

“Where's Miroku?” Kagome asked finally.

 

“Still at work. I just got off.” Sango replied.

 

Kagome nodded.

 

“So, what brings you by?” Sango asked casually.

 

“I've had a rotten day.” Kagome said.

 

“Inuyasha have anything to do with it?”

 

Kagome blushed and looked down. “We sort of had a fight.”

 

Sango stared in amazement. “What happened?”

 

Kagome sighed. “Well, I was in a really bad mood, so I just started yelling at him, and basically I told him that he was a huge mistake.”

 

Sango winced. “Where is he?”

 

“Somewhere with Hyumaru.”

 

“You going to be okay?”

 

Kagome forced a laugh. “I survived when he cheated on me. I think I'll survive this.”

 

Both girls fell into silence again. After several minutes they heard it start to rain, the water bouncing off the windows and striking the ground.

 

“Um, Sango?” Sango looked up.

 

Kagome was gazing at her feet. “Can you take me home?”

 

“Uh, sure. Let me get my keys.”

 

Kagome nodded, and soon they both entered the parking lot in search of Sango's car. All too soon, Kagome found herself in front of Inuyasha's house. She sat in the rain, watching it churn the dirt into thick mud. Something about the entire process made her peaceful, which she wanted to be when she faced Inuyasha.

 

After what felt like hours, Kagome forced her stiff muscles into movement, and stumbled toward the door. She was cold and achy, and felt her wet hair and clothing sticking to her body. After several seconds of deliberation she rang the doorbell and waiting, heart pounding. It felt like an eternity before footsteps approached the door, and it swung open. Kagome had been watching the ground for most of the time, but she looked up shyly, to find Inuyasha looking at her with an unreadable expression on her face.

 

They stared at each other for a long time, until Kagome broke the contest and turned her gaze downward.

 

“I'm sorry,” she whispered. “I shouldn't have said that. You've been good to me, and didn't deserve to be yelled at. I'm so sorry.”

 

In a flash she was scooped into his arms, and he dragged her inside, not caring that he was getting soaked in the process. He grabbed her legs and swung them up so that he could carry her to their room. In silence he began to strip her, noticing that she seemed too cold and out of it to do it herself. When her clothing was off he grabbed a towel and rubbed her down, to get off the water and warm her up. Soon she was shivering, and he transferred her to the bed, placing her underneath the blankets. He stripped down to his boxers and joined her, wrapping his warm body around her cold one.

 

“Thank you.” She whispered feebly. Both lay awake, lost in their own thoughts.

 

“Hyumaru?” Kagome asked finally.

 

“Sleeping. She probably will need to be fed soon.”

 

Kagome reached up, running her hands down his cheeks. Finally she pulled him in for a kiss. It deepened, and soon his hands migrated to her back, pulling her close to him. Her hands entangled in his hair, holding his head in place. He finally rolled her onto her back, and settled on top of her. He kissed her cheeks and nose before returning to her lips.

 

Kagome knew what was on his mind, and she discovered that she wanted it as well. It had been a long time since the last time, and she could hardly remember the feelings and excitement.

 

She opened her mouth for him, and he explored, battling tongues with her. Her hands released his hair and latched onto his ears, rubbing fiercely. He broke the kiss to gasp. His hips bucked hard against her, allowing her to feel the hardness of his arousal. He pressed it against her thigh.

 

Inuyasha took an opportunity to look down at the beauty beneath him. Her eyes were hooded, gazing at him in a mix of hazy pleasure and wonder, her mouth slightly agape, swollen lips parted. One of her hands came down to ran along his cheek, holding it. She finally pulled his head back down, her lips meeting his.

 

They finally parted to breathe. Inuyasha eyed the open invitation of her neck, and answered its call. Kagome gasped when he kissed her neck, nipping and sucking. One of his hands went to her breast, stroking it lightly with his claws, enough to tickle her and make her squirm. He could smell her growing arousal, making him even harder. He growled lightly, and took both breasts in his hands. He slowly fondled them, flicking the nipples and pinching them. Kagome moaned.

 

His mouth migrated from her neck to her nipple, taking it into his mouth. Kagome groaned and pushed his head further down onto her.

 

“Inu…yasha.” She moaned heatedly. He swirled his tongue around her breast in response. Kagome lifted one of her legs and wrapped in around his waist and back, pushing him down. He reached down and traced his claws down the back of her exposed thigh. He rubbed it up and down, causing her to squirm. Her hands released his back and cupped his buttocks. She was steadily pushing him into position, much too soon for him.

 

Inuyasha grinned at her neediness. He released her breast, and she whimpered. He grabbed her hands, and used one of his to pin hers above her head. She tugged at them, trying to release them. Inuyasha contemplated tying her hands down, but decided against it, at least until she was used to sex again. It had been months since her first time, so she probably didn't remember much of it.

 

His free hand traced one side, then stroked the other. She moaned heatedly. He kissed her again, more fiercely. She fought harder to release her hands, which he grinned at. He finally sat up and admired her. She gazed back at him, her eyes cloudy.

 

“You're beautiful, you know.”

 

Kagome smiled. “I don't have anything on you.”

 

Inuyasha scoffed. “I ain't beautiful.”

 

Kagome giggled. “What would you call it then?”

 

“I am manly, virile, handsome…”

 

“Gorgeous.” Kagome added.

 

He grinned at her. “Maybe I'm just being used for my pretty body.” He said, in mock surprise. “Maybe I should leave you like this.”

 

Kagome played along and feigned shock. “Oh, please no, my handsome love. Show me how much you really love me. I am at your command.”

 

Inuyasha smirked. “Really?” Kagome nodded.

 

He smirked wider. “Spread your legs.” She obeyed. He got off her hips and knelt between her legs. His hands took hold of her thighs and held them down.

 

Kagome's head flew back and she sucked in air as she felt his tongue attack her warmth. The ache was almost unbearable. She squirmed, whined, whimpered, tried to get him to understand her problem. Right as she gathered the strength to raise her head on of his fingers entered her. She gasped and her head flew back onto the bed.

 

He grinned at her actions. She was close, he could tell. She was thrashing, and only his hand on her hip was holding her moderately in place. He also stopped and pressed her down from inside her. She cried out.

 

Right as he felt her about to come, he withdrew his finger and tongue. She looked up at him and whimpered. He smiled and slowly licked his finger clean, enjoying watching her squirm as she watched his tongue. When it was clean he simply sat back and watched her. She finally managed to sit up and get her fingers under the hem of his boxers in one movement. She tugged, not coherent enough to actually slip them off. He enjoyed watching her struggle with his boxers. She finally gave up and grasped his arousal through the fabric. She tugged on it. He gasped, and grabbed her hands. She whimpered again.

 

“Please,” she whispered, looking up into his eyes. He nodded, and removed his last garment. She stared at him, but he was too far gone to notice. He pushed her back down, spread her legs, and entered her. Her eyes flew open and she groaned. He thrust slowly and deliberately. One hand reached up and toyed with a breast. The other hand played with her clit, all the while never stopping the slow thrusts of his hips.

 

Kagome screamed. Her release coated him in her warmth, and he stopped for a moment for her to come down. As soon as her breathing slowed to the point she wasn't in danger of hyperventilation, he turned her over so she was on all fours. He molded her back to his chest, and reached around to massage both breasts while thrusting.

 

“Faster, Inuyasha.” She managed to gasp out. He obliged her, pumping in and out of her with amazing speed and force. She moaned and groaned, pressing back into him. Her arms collapsed, and she fell onto the bed, only his hands across her chest keeping her from completely flattening.

 

“Ahhh.” She moaned.

 

He felt her inner walls tightening around him, and she screamed again. He pushed a few more times until he too released into her, filling her with his warmth. He collapsed on top of her, still inside.

 

For several minutes all they did was gasp. Suddenly the sound of crying reached their ears. Kagome moaned and tried to get up, forgetting about him inside her. She moaned and fell again, waves of pleasure crashing though her.

 

“Inuyasha.” She gasped out.

 

He turned his eyes onto her.

 

“Hyumaru.” She said. He grumbled, something about his pup taking away time with his mate. She tried to crawl off him, but he grabbed her around the waist, and pulled her down onto him, causing her to gasp. She moaned and leaned back onto him. He then attacked her exposed neck.

 

“Baby.” She tried to gasp, only to moan mid word. Inuyasha groaned, and released her. She whimpered at the loss, and he grinned at her.

 

“Just making sure you'll come back to take care of that problem. See ya soon, koishii.”

 

Kagome moaned and threw herself on top of him, wrapping her legs around his hips. He shook his head, laughing. “Remember, the pup? Hyumaru? You wanted to go to her before.”

 

“Bastard.” Kagome grumbled, stumbling towards the door.

 

“I'll have something special for you when you get back.” Inuyasha called after her. He stood, still laughing, and entered the bathroom.

 

Kagome returned about twenty minutes later, looking moderately tired. However, her eyes lit up when she saw Inuyasha sprawled on the bed, a bottle sitting on the bed next to him. He looked up at her and smiled.

 

“I was hoping to get a massage.” He said simply. Kagome grinned. She crawled on to the bed, and began to rub his back, rubbing some water into it.

 

They lay peacefully, she working his shoulders and back, and he simply relaxing and enjoying her touch. Soon he felt her hands leave his back and move to his hair. She ran her fingers through it, and he let out a contented sigh. She smiled, and began to work his hair.

 

Inuyasha was so blissful that he had barely noticed when she started playing with his hair. All that registered was that he felt really good, and happy. He felt gentle tugs at his hair, and decided to trust her. She slowly moved down his head, and he felt something of a design forming on his scalp. The rustling of his hair made his ears twitch. He heard her giggle, and smiled. Nothing could possibly get rid of this peaceful feeling.

 

Kagome was sitting on Inuyasha's rear, putting the final touches on his hair. She wasn't sure whether he wanted his hair done, but it so tempting, and she presumed when he didn't say anything that he had no problems. She'd giggled when his ears twitched, almost as though they were itchy. She reached the end of his hair, and just left it that way. The braid was tight enough that it wouldn't come undone soon, and he would probably take it out in the morning anyway.

 

She gazed at the entire effect, and grinned. Sleepiness crept into her mind, and she leaned forward onto his back, her head nestled on the back of his neck. She took a deep breath, taking in his scent, and nuzzled him.

 

Inuyasha smiled into the pillow. The feeling of Kagome laying completely limp on his back was extremely relaxing. He felt her soft breath on his neck, and could tell that she was on the verge of falling asleep. He twitched and tried to get her onto the soft bed. After several minutes of self contortion he managed to get her underneath him. He threw a leg over hers, and wrapped his arms around her. She nuzzled into him, and was soon asleep.

 

Inuyasha lay awake for a long time, reveling in the feel of her warm flesh against his.

 

She makes me so happy. I cannot lose her.

 

Inuyasha caressed her sleeping face. She looks happy, peaceful. Like some light has entered her body and makes her even more beautiful. I haven't seen it since the last time we were here, like this.

 

Kagome stirred and half opened her eyes. She found him gazing at her, and smiled gently. He returned her smile, and smoothed back her hair. She blinked a few times, then closed her eyes with a contented sigh. Inuyasha hugged her tight, and followed her into slumber.
