InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Don't Cry ❯ Chapter 11 ( Chapter 11 )
Chapter Eleven: Heat
Kagome sat outside as she watched the rain begin to fall. Rain was Kagome's favorite kind of weather, to her, rain represented the beginnings of new things. She loved how the earth came alive when it rained. She loved how the colors around her got brighter after it rained and she especially loved the `after rain scent' when the world around her smelt so crisp and fresh. Yes, by far, rain was the best type of weather to Kagome.
Kagome sat on the bench out in the gardens. Her raven black hair was plastered to her forehead and rivulets of water dripped down her face. Her beautiful pink and white floral kimono was soaked and clung to her body like a second skin, accentuating the curves of her hips and breasts. Kagome took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
It had been at least a week since she received her first lesson from Miroku on how to control and wield her power. Kagome thought it was interesting but, none the less, it was also very hard. But concentrating on her power, or what Miroku called `your core' Kagome was able to get a tight control on her power. This meant that she could control her power, and keep it at bay, but she could not wield it like one would a sword. Kagome had a unique power, her power focused mainly on defense. Which meant that she could not use her power to attack another living creature. No, Kagome could only use her power to heal and protect herself and others from danger. As a matter of fact it was this afternoon that they started working on making protective shields against attacks. She would never forget the look on Miroku's face when she accidentally flattened him to the ground with a burst of her energy. Ok, so maybe it wasn't an accident but Miroku's lecherous hands were starting to get on her nerves and frankly, he had it coming.
Oh and that was another thing Kagome could use her spiritual powers for, Subduing. It was by far her favorite power yet. She could flatten anyone to the ground with a simple chant and burst of energy. It came in quite handy when chasing after a certain little boy trying to get him to bed. And she even used it on Kouga a couple of times-but that was "purely" an accident. (^_^) But the subduing spell didn't last long, only a couple minutes at the most. And it certainly didn't hurt the "victim", as Miroku called it, well not much anyway.
Kagome smiled softly as she wrapped her arms around herself. `God its so beautiful when it rains.' Kagome thought wistfully. A sudden wave of home sickness, so strong that it rocked her body, hit her. Kagome bit her lip from crying out. She missed her mother, she missed Souta and she missed Grandpa, but there was nothing she could do about him he was gone and he wasn't coming back. A sob raked her chest as she thought of her family back home. She wanted to see them again, to tell them that she was okay, but she certainly didn't want to leave Kouga and Shippo behind. And even Sesshoumaru had grown on her after awhile.
`Why? Why does it have to be so hard!?' Kagome sobbed. Tears now mingling with the sweet scent of rain. A pair of strong brawny arms wrapped around her picking her up and pushing her into a warm muscular chest. Kagome looked up through tear stained eyes and saw Kouga smiling sadly down at her.
"I'm sorry Kagome." Was all he said as he stared at her, his deep blue eyes shining with an almost unseen sadness. It was as if whatever he was feeling was eating away at his soul.
Kagome let out a sob and nuzzled her head into his chest. She took a deep calming breath and took in his scent. Kagome loved the way Kouga smelt, he smelt like the forest. The trees and the deep rich scent of earth. It was comforting to have him near her, to be able to breathe in his scent. Her hands fisted in the fabric of his kimono. Usually Kouga went around in his armor and wolf skin, but Sesshoumaru had insisted that he wear a kimono while at court. Reluctantly Kouga had agreed, to Kagome's disappointment, and began wearing kimonos much like Sesshoumaru's only they were cut off at the sleeve and instead of a red floral pattern hade a deep shade of blue that matched his eyes.
Kouga made as if to carry her back inside the castle and Kagome's eyes snapped open.
"No please Kouga! Can we stay out here, for just a little bit longer?" Kagome pleaded, her brown eyes begging.
Kouga sighed and reluctantly nodded his head. He didn't think it was a good idea for Kagome to be outside in this weather, she was human after all and Kouga didn't want her to get sick.
"Ok, Kagome." He said as he sat down on the wet bench, the rain was quickly soaking through his clothes, plastering it to his body like a second skin. The kimono clung to his chest and you could clearly see his well defined abs through the silk kimono. Kagome sat in Kouga's lap, her back to his chest while her head rested on his shoulder. Kouga looked down and nearly groaned when he saw Kagome. Her kimono was in the same condition as his own and Kouga could clearly see the soft curve of her breasts that rose and fell with every breath she took.
"You should meet them Kouga, you really should. . ." Kagome mumbled sleepily. Kouga didn't blame her it was starting to get dark and she had been up at dawn practicing her miko powers with Miroku. `Stupid monk!' Kouga though with a tinge of jealousy. The monk had been spending more time with Kagome lately then he had and it irked him to no end.
"Meet who?" Kouga asked as he stroked her head fondly, running his fingers through her wet hair.
"Mama and Souta. Souta would love you of course, he probably wouldn't leave you alone for days. And mama would pull you into the kitchen and cook you a big feast trying to fatten you up. She thinks everyone is too skinny." Kagome yawned.
Kouga nodded his head softly, he could feel Kagome's longing for her family, her sense of loss. And it pained him so to think that he was at fault for it.
"Maybe I will someday kagome. Someday real soon." He whispered in her ear.
Kagome nodded sleepily and nuzzled her head into his shoulder, slowly falling asleep. Kouga sat in the rain and watched as Kagome fell asleep in his arms.
`She's been working too hard.' Kouga thought as he frowned worridley at Kagome's sleeping form. And it was true, Kagome spent most of her time with Miroku working on her spells and power that she didn't have much time for anything else. Even Shippo was starting to miss his adoptive mother.
Kouga let out a small sigh as he got to his feet, Kagome cradled in his arms. He made his way back to the castle, with a sleeping Kagome in his arms, and out of the rain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
Kagome woke slowly, unsure of her surroundings. She blinked her sleep encrusted eyes and let out a small yawn. She was lying in her bed, in her chambers, under her soft downy covers. Kagome looked down and realized that she was in her night gown, someone had changed her into them. Heat rose to her cheeks as the thought of Kouga dressing her came to mind. `He wouldn't. . .would he?' Kagome thought, biting her lip.
"I see that you're awake." Kouga's utterly masculine voice drifted across the stillness in the room. Kagome nearly jumped out of her skin. Kouga was sitting in one of her lounge chairs, feet probed up on the `coffee table'. His elbows rested on the arms of the chair and where clasped before him. He looked completely comfortable. . .almost cocky as he sat there, staring at her. His blue eyes pierced her brown ones and Kagome felt as if, with that one glance, he could see through to her very soul. That look sent something off in her, and it made her stomach feel tight and clenched.
Kouga cocked an eyebrow at her and smirked as he caught scent of her arousal. A bit of fang poked out as he smirked and Kagome had the strangest urge to run her tongue over those fangs that she knew so well. She longed to run her small hands up his chest and feel the muscles quiver beneath her fingers. She longed to. . .
`WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!?' Kagome thought, eyes wide at her own thoughts. Kagome was definitely thinking un pure thoughts, and Kouga wasn't helping much with that cocky little smirk of his that set her off. And not in the angry way.
A small whimper escaped Kagome's throat and she curled up into a ball on the bed, closing her eyes tight. She heard the rustle of cloth as Kouga got up from his comfortable position in the chair. `Kami' Kagome breathed as she imagined the way his abs looked when he sat up, the way the muscles in his shoulders rippled when he stood up.
"What's wrong with me?" Kagome whimpered, curling more into herself.
Kagome could smell Kouga as he approached her bedside, he smelt the same as always, that strong musky scent that sent Kagome wild now snapped something inside her and images flashed before her eyes. Kouga moving above her, thrusting hard into her, the sweet smell of their sweat intermingling as they performed intimate acts. Kagome couldn't stop the moan that spilled through her lips. She brought her hands to her face and hid it, grinding the balls of her hands into her eyes.
"Kagome its okay, calm down." Kouga said gently. Kagome opened her eyes just in time to see Kouga reaching towards her, hand outstretched as if to give comfort. Kagome's eyes widened and she rolled away from that hand that she loved all too much.
"N-No don't touch me, you'll only make it worse!" Kagome cried.
Kouga couldn't stop the hurt look that spread across his face.
"It's not you, Kouga. . .help me." Kagome whimpered as she rocked herself back and forth slowly. She felt as if she were being possessed by some hormone crazed ghost that wanting nothing but to fuck, that is, nothing but to fuck Kouga.
"Kagome. . ." Kouga whispered. This was not the Kagome Kouga knew, his Kagome would never cower in fear of him.
`Sesshoumaru.' Kouga mind whispered. That was one of the new powers Kouga and Sesshoumaru now shared. They could send telepathic thoughts to one another, but it took a great deal of energy and often proved to be a waste of time. But now, Kouga needed Sesshouamru's help, Kagome needed him.
Sesshoumaru appeared in the doorway of Kagome's chambers, his beautiful face set in a blank mask, as always.
"What is it Kouga?" Sesshoumaru asked calmly, though Kouga could sense his annoyance at being called out of something. . .important.
"Oh gods please some one help me!" Kagome growled savagely. She was trying to control the urges within her and it was tearing her up from the inside out.
Sesshoumaru took one sniff of the air and his eyes widened a bit, in what one might call shock.
"She's in heat." Sesshoumaru said bluntly, cocking an eyebrow as he did so.
Kouga stumbled backwards as if he had been slapped.
"But only youkai women can go into heat. . ." He stuttered.
"Well it appears that Kagome has gained that attribute from us as well. Though I'm sure you know already, Kagome's need will consume her if she is not mated within the week of her heat. She is human and her body does not have the same control as youkai females do." Sesshoumaru said, concern laced his voice.
Kouga just stared from Sesshoumaru to Kagome and back again, almost as if he didn't believe what he was hearing.
"I know that you and Kagome have developed feelings for each other. However, if you do not mate with her then I will. I will not risk the chance of losing her and therefore our bond so that you can hold onto your noble ideals." Sesshoumaru said, his voice as cool as the winter winds.
A feral growl erupted from Kouga's throat at the thought of Sesshoumaru mating with Kagome. Kagome was his and his alone. His to hold, his to love, his to fuck. Kouga's deep blue eyes narrowed dangerously and sparks of red flashed along his vision.
"Good." Sesshoumaru said with a smirk as he turned on his heel and left without saying another word.
Kouga closed the door shut and his blue eyes studied the human woman who lay curled in a ball on the bed, whimpering as she tried to control the animalistic urges inside her. Kouga stared at her for the longest time. This was the woman who had stolen his heart, that had enraptured his soul. This was the woman he loved and tonight he would have her.
Yes, he would have her over and over again this night.
