LES: I kinda had a scare with this chapter. I was going to sit down and write it, and went to retrieve the notebook that I have written this story in, and I COULDN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE! I was scared, cause there were a number of things that could have happened to it. I could have accidentally left it at school. I just rearranged my room, so it could have gotten permanently lost in the mix-up; or, worse, my parents could have found it. (They don't know that I'm in the habit of writing Lemons, and I would die if they found out.) But, thankfully, I found it in my junk-drawer. I guess I put it aside for safe-keeping during the reorganization. Some place to put it, right? LOL! Okay… let's pick up the story a month later. Kagome is three months pregnant. The village knows and is very happy that they will soon be graced with the off-spring of their hanyou protector. Inuyasha, Miroku, and several of the village men have nearly finished the hut, but Kagome doesn't know about it beyond the fact that Inuyasha is getting a surprise ready for her. Kagome is spending her days training under Kaede. Well… after that insanely long author's note… let the chapter begin! LEMON WARNING AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER
Chapter XXI: A House For Kagome
“How are you feeling, Kagome?” Sango asked one day while the girls were tending to their separate duties.
“I'm fine, Sango.” Kagome said. “Really. My pregnancy is going really easy. I haven't been morning sick at all! All I've had is a few weird cravings here and there.”
“Oh! Did that have something to do with that whole boar that you demanded Inuyasha to catch last week?” Sango asked, laughing.
Kagome blushed. “It was a Yokai craving. I wanted to eat it raw, but Inuyasha put his foot down. Looking back…” The pregnant hanyou shuttered. “I'm glad he did.”
Sango also shuttered. “You've got that right.”
“But… my craving for raw boar aside, I'm doing really well. I'm just glad that I'm not throwing up my guts every morning like most human women. Inuyasha was right. Yokai and hanyou pregnancies are easy ones.”
“You are very lucky, you know, Kagome.” Sango said. “I could not hope that my pregnancies would go as well.”
“You'll be fine, Sango.” Kagome said. “Weaker woman give birth all the time, and you're the strongest woman I know!”
“Thanks, Kagome.” Sango said gratefully, checking some stew that she was in the process of making. “So… how is Shippo handling all this?”
Everyone knew that the Kitsune saw Kagome as his foster mother. Kagome shrugged. “It's hard to tell. I don't think he's jealous of my having a pup. It's like he hasn't accepted that Inuyasha is my mate yet. He doesn't like it when I spend time with him.” Then another symptom of pregnancy sprang up, one that would never affect a Yokai, but humans and hanyous because of their human emotions. She became overtly emotional. “It's like Shippo is trying to demand that I choose: my relationship to Inuyasha, or my relationship to him. I love them both and could never choose!”
Sango embraced her friend before the tears started. “You've just got to make Shippo realize that both he and Inuyasha are important to you. If you let this go on, and let Shippo challenge Inuyasha for your affections… You know that Inuyasha would react violently. Shippo may only mean possessing your affections as a mother, but Inuyasha would only see another male Yokai proclaiming himself a rival for his claim as your mate.”
“Oh Kami… I can't let that happen…” Kagome cried.
“Then make Shippo realize.” Sango said. “Before something happens that can't be undone.”
Little did they know that the confrontation that they so feared would happen as soon as the very next day.

As far as Inuyasha was concerned, the hut was coming along well… well for a small mansion. Despite his protests, the villagers insisted on building him a hut worthy of both his Yokai and human royal blood.
It was far greater than the other houses in Kaede's village. It wasn't a two-level hut like Kagome's, but it was sprawling. Multiple rooms built around a single meeting hall.
Miroku finally managed to convince Inuyasha that all the extra room was necessary.
“The average human will only have the time to produce a few children with the decades we are granted. But you and Kagome are hanyous and you'll live for centuries… if not for thousands of years. You could literally end up having dozens of children.”
Inuyasha blushed brilliantly. “I don't think I want that many children.”
“When the Kami has been unkind to you in the past, they are sometimes over-generous in the future.” Miroku said wisely.
Inuyasha sighed. “Fine. Do what you gotta do.”

“Inuyasha, we need more wood.” Miroku said.
“Feh.” Inuyasha snorted. So far, all he had to do was get the wood and do the heavy lifting. But it was something that he was grateful for. He enjoyed using his strength.
He trooped out into the forest that bore his name, cutting down very select trees with his claw attacks with single-minded intensity.
He found a perfect tree for cutting. It was old, and it was choking the growth of much younger trees growing in its shadow. With a single swipe of his sharp and deadly claws, he tore through the tree and it began to collapse.
Suddenly, he heard the unmistakable sound of Shippo crying out in fright. He quickly realized that the young Kitsune was in the way of the falling tree. Shippo could have moved out of the way, but he was apparently frozen in fright. The protective instincts of an Alpha male for the members of his pack kicked in. When a pup's sire dies, it falls to the Alpha male to step up and protect the young pup until it grew enough to defend itself. Without even realizing it, Inuyasha had become something like the kit's foster father. Even Shippo hadn't fully realized that yet. As quickly as lightning, he leapt under the falling tree, scooped up Shippo, and leapt out of the way just as the tree crashed to the ground.
:Pup safe?: Inuyasha barked at him. Shippo could understand when Inuyasha spoke in the Inu language because foxes were part of the canine family. It was simply like someone speaking the same language with a different dialect. Mistranslations happened, but it was the same basic language. Inuyasha did not wait for Shippo to respond, but nuzzled the Kitsune with his nose, sniffing for injuries. :Pup safe.: Inuyasha repeated. This time, it was a statement.
“Inuyasha…?” Shippo began, slightly confused as to why the hanyou was acting this way. It brought back memories of his own father. How when Shippo would get into trouble and his father rushed in to save him. He could remember his father's smell as he nuzzled him, speaking softly in Kitsune. :Kit safe. Kit safe. Kit safe.:
The hanyou instantly became stern… just like his father. “What the hell were you doing out here in the middle of the forest? You could have gotten killed!”
“I'm sorry!” Shippo said. “You, Miroku, and the villagers have been coming out here a lot lately. I was curious!”
“You ain't a damn neko, Shippo.” (Translation: Neko Cat).
“Kagome's really worried about you, ya know.” Shippo said. “She keeps asking me and Sango, if we know what you're doing out here.”
Heh. Bitch thinks that she can get them to spoil the secret for her. Inuyasha thought to himself. “We're all fine out here.” Inuyasha said. “Runt, you can't tell Kagome that we're out here in the forest.”
“But Kagome…!”
“What we're doing out here is a surprise for her and she knows it.” Inuyasha said.
“You should trust her more.” Shippo commented.
“This has nothing to do with trust.” Inuyasha said shortly. “I want to give Kagome a surprise, and if you tell her, it won't be a surprise anymore!”
“You're gonna give her something to take away more of her time with me!” Shippo said loudly.
Inuyasha growled loudly. “Watch what you're saying, Runt! I haven't been able to spend real quality time with my mate since I started working on her surprise! She's been with you instead of her own mate!”
“I hate you, Inuyasha!” Shippo yelled, tears running down his face. “If you weren't around, Kagome would be mine!”
Something within Inuyasha snapped. His last thread of self-control was gone. It didn't matter to him that Shippo meant Kagome would be his as his mother. All Inuyasha heard was a challenge to his right as Kagome's mate. His blood started to boil again like he was influenced by mating season again. And he almost was. Meant or not, Shippo's challenge had weakened Inuyasha's bond with Kagome. He would have to fight until Shippo had either submitted or was dead, and then mark Kagome again before he could properly be her mate again.
“Damn brat! You've gone too far this time!” Inuyasha howled. He leapt at Shippo, his claws flashing.
Shippo `epp'ed at Inuyasha's deliberate attack and barely managed to get out of the way in time. “Fox-fire!” Shippo yelled, throwing a handful of the blue fire in Inuyasha's face.
Inuyasha's aura simply shrugged off the attack. He knew that all fox magic was based on illusion. It only worked when the victim freaked out and thought that it was real. Besides, the magic of a juvenile kitsune could never, in a million years, overcome a Yokai Lord.
The moment that Shippo saw that his Fox-fire was ineffective against the Yokai Lord, he turned tail and ran. Inuyasha instantly gave chase, roaring his need to defend his rights as Kagome's mate.
Shippo was truly terrified. He hadn't found himself truly in Inuyasha's path of destruction since the hanyou had been possessed by the Yokai sword Sounga. That time, he barely managed to escape because Inuyasha was in his Yokai form, and as such, he lost just enough of his intelligence to be susceptible to simple tricks.
Shippo seriously doubted that he would have the time to transform into his ball form. So he simply ran, with a very pissed off Inuyasha at his heels.

Miroku looked up from his work as the sound of destruction increased in the surrounding Forest of Inuyasha.
“That's strange.” The monk commented. Inuyasha, who had become the Guardian Spirit of the Forest, in lieu of taking is rightful place in the Western Lands, usually took great care in selecting trees to use for lumber. When it came to the forest, wanton destruction was not like him. “Kirara.” Miroku called for the Fire Cat Yokai, who helped with the heavy-lifting when Inuyasha was away. The great cat glanced around at Miroku with intelligent eyes. Kirara may not be capable of speech like some other species of Yokai, but she knew more than she let on. “Could you take me to check on Inuyasha?”
Kirara mewed in affirmation and allowed the monk to climb onto her back. Kirara quickly took to the air and began to follow the sounds of destruction, which were now heading back towards Kaede's village.

Kagome, as usual, was helping Kaede sort the herbs that they had just collected. It was tedious work, but it was necessary. A mistake could mean giving the ill person the wrong medicine.
Kaede, however, could clearly see that Kagome wasn't truly focused upon her task. Every once in a while, Kagome would smile wistfully and her hands would drift down to her lower abdomen. She wasn't `showing' yet, but to the experienced woman, they saw the unmistakable glow of motherhood and the filling-out of her body as it prepared to carry a baby.
She had gained weight, helped along by Inuyasha making sure that she was well-fed, whether she was hungry or not. Her pregnancy could still be simply mistaken for weight gain.
“Is ye mind somewhere else, child?” Kaede asked good-naturedly.
Kagome jumped slightly, having been jarred back to the real world. “Oh, I'm sorry, Kaede! I'll get back to work.” She turned her full attention to pulling the good leaves off a plant while throwing the useless stem away.
Kaede chuckled. “It is always thus when a woman expects her first born. There is no need to apologize, child.”
“Have you… ever delivered a hanyou baby?” Kagome asked suddenly.
“That I have not.” Kaede admitted. “There are not many midwives who would. Most of the time, a woman carrying a hanyou child is forced to face childbirth without aid. But, from what I've heard, hanyous are born easily with no risk of natural complications. Do not worry, Kagome, child, for ye are hanyou and will be safer than most woman.”
“Thank you, Kaede.” Kagome said earnestly. Suddenly, Kagome's canine ears perked and swiveled.
“What do ye hear?” Kaede asked.
“It sounds like… the forest is being torn apart.” She cautiously sniffed the air. “I don't smell anything unusual and I don't sense any strange auras.” The young miko stood and stepped outside.
As the sounds of destruction got closer, the human villagers began to notice and began to stick their heads out of their huts.
Kaede came out of her hut holding Kagome's longbow and quiver. The young miko accepted her weapon of choice. She notched an arrow and aimed towards whatever was approaching.
A few tense seconds passed, and a small figure broke the tree-line, making a bee-line for Kagome.
Kagome lowered her bow. “Shippo?”
“Kagome! Help me!” Shippo yelled as his pursuer came into view. Kagome gasped.
It was Inuyasha. He roared loudly as he picked up speed to overtake Shippo before he reached the safety of Kagome's arms.
“No, Inuyasha! Sit!” Kagome screamed.
The spell activated as usual, but to everyone's amazement, Inuyasha managed to continue his forward motion for several more meters before the spell finally managed to pull him to the ground.
Inuyasha had never before been capable of movement after the spell had been activated. Even when he had resisted the beads long enough for them to break, he still had not moved a single inch.
Shippo reached her and leapt into her arms. “Kagome!”
“Shippo! What happened?” Kagome asked.
“Kagome, let that damn runt go.” Inuyasha struggled to his feet, even though the magic of the subjugation spell wanted to keep him face-down in the dirt. “I swear on all the Kamis that I'm gonna gut him if he doesn't renounce his claim!”
“What claim?” Kagome demanded. “You can't hurt him! We adopted him!”
“That damn runt ain't my pup!” Inuyasha roared angrily.
Suddenly the Kitsune sniffled, and the mated hanyous glanced at him in shock. Tears were forming on the Kitsune's face. “I never wanted a moron hanyou for a father anyway…” With that, he took off, clearly fighting more tears from coming.
Kagome glared at her mate. “Sit!” The hanyou crashed to the ground once again. “What was all that about?”
“He… challenged my rights as your mate.” Inuyasha growled, struggling to his feet once again.
Oh God… it happened! Kagome thought to herself. “Inuyasha, Shippo's just a child, he couldn't possibly know…”
“He's got Yokai instincts, doesn't he?” Inuyasha grumbled. “I tell you, he knew exactly what he was saying! I can't let his challenge go unanswered. It would taint our honor.”
“Can't he take back his challenge without fighting?” Kagome demanded fearfully.
Inuyasha nodded briefly. Kagome could tell that he was highly-strung. He kept clenching his claws into fists, and drawing blood. “He has to submit to me fully as Alpha-male and as your mate. Any less, and I'll have to fight him until he submits or dies.”
Kagome flung herself against her mate's chest. “Please. Let me talk to him! I couldn't bare it if you killed him!”
Inuyasha growled softly. “One hour, bitch. No more.”

Kagome quickly found Shippo, who was nearly on the verge of tears in Kaede's hut. The old miko stepped out tastefully when Kagome walked in.
“Kagome?” Shippo sniffled. “Why'd you have to become the mate of that jerk?”
“Shippo, do you know what you said to Inuyasha?” Kagome asked, knelling down to his level.
“I don't want him to be your mate anymore.” Shippo said.
“Shippo, certainly you know how protective Yokai and hanyous are over the ones they love?” Kagome asked. “When you threatened his position as my mate and Alpha-male, you forced him to attack you to defend both our honors.”
“He's such a stupid jerk. Why him?” Shippo asked.
Kagome sighed. “Because I love him. I love him so much that it hurts me not to be at his side. Yes, he can be a bit of a jerk, but that makes his tender side all the more sweeter when he shows it.” She paused. “Shippo, you have to submit to Inuyasha.” Her tears came. “If you don't, he'll be forced to kill you.”
“Can't you stop him?” Shippo demanded.
“My hanyou instincts won't allow it.” Kagome cried softly. “Like Inuyasha, I will fight to say with my mate. He is my mate, my love, and the father of my pup. I won't be about to live if I lost my bond to Inuyasha because of a foolish challenge.”
“But I miss you, Kagome!” Shippo cried. “Inuyasha said it himself. I'm not his pup, and I'm not yours either. Because of his stupid selfishness, I'll never be able to call you Mama.”
“Inuyasha didn't mean what he said.” Kagome said softly. “You know that he has a bad habit of saying things without thinking. You're nearly ten, Shippo. You need to realize that mates need time for themselves. But that doesn't mean that I love you any less. It's just a different kind of love.”
“Inuyasha doesn't trust you.” Shippo blurted out. “He, Miroku, and the villagers have been doing something out in the forest for weeks.”
“Inuyasha's already told me that he's working on a surprise for me out there.” Kagome said. “I'll trust Inuyasha to show me when it's ready.”
“But…”
“You've got to submit to Inuyasha.” Kagome said. “I could not bear to lose you to something so foolish.”
“How?” Shippo looked sullen.
“You don't know? Aren't you a canine too?” Kagome asked.
“Foxes don't live in packs like wolves and wild dogs.” Shippo said. “We don't understand pack rules and submission that well.”
“You have to present yourself to Inuyasha, lie on your back, and expose your neck to him.” Kagome said.
“So he can tear my throat out before I can defend myself?” Shippo demanded.
“That's the point. It shows that you know that you don't stand a chance against him in a fight.” Kagome said. “He'll probably crouch over you and growl to reassert his dominance, but he won't hurt you.”
Shippo pouted. “Okay.”

Outside, Inuyasha paced and growled loudly. As long as Shippo's challenge stood, he could not relax. For a mature Yokai or hanyou, it was physically impossible because of the adrenaline and Yokai energy pulsing through his body.
He turned and snarled when Miroku appeared riding Kirara. “Inuyasha!” Miroku gasped.
“Stay outta this, monk!” Inuyasha growled.
“Inuyasha! What's going on?” Miroku asked. He hadn't seen Inuyasha worked up like this since Mating season.
“Shippo has challenged my right as Kagome's mate.” Inuyasha began to pace restlessly like a caged animal.
“But Shippo is just a child!” Miroku said calmly.
“Feh! That damn runt knew exactly what he was saying!” Inuyasha snarled. “Stay outta this, Miroku. Kagome cannot truly be mine again until either Shippo submits to me or I kill him.”
“Surely you are over-reacting…” Miroku began, but Inuyasha's frown gave the monk his answer.
“Inuyasha…” The hanyou and the monk both glanced around. Kagome was approaching, Shippo at her heels. The small Kitsune had his eyes firmly planted on the ground.
“Kagome? Does Shippo understand what he's done?” Miroku asked.
Kagome nodded. “He does. He purposefully tried to usurp Inuyasha's claim as my mate.” Tears formed in her eyes. “Miroku, whatever happens, don't interfere.”
Miroku nodded reluctantly, and stepped back. Inuyasha took his place, voicing a growl that promised certain death. :Pup submit!: Inuyasha barked. :Acknowledge Alpha-male as Alpha-female's mate! Submit or die!:
Shippo trembled, suddenly feeling very small. Without a word, he did as Kagome told him. He got flat on his back and lifted his chin to expose his throat to the angry hanyou.
Inuyasha's growl softened somewhat was he crouched over Shippo, and bared his fangs. Shippo flinched. :Kit sorry!: He cried out.
Inuyasha glared at him. “You're not forgiven yet, Shippo. Pull a stunt like that again, and I will kill you. All pack members, including pups, need to respect the bond that Alphas share. Got that, runt?”
Shippo nodded frantically, and Inuyasha released him.
“Kagome.” Inuyasha called softly. Kagome quickly answered his call and rushed into his arms. They nuzzled and licked each other with canine affection, and shared small kisses of human affection.
“So, I'll assume that everything is back to normal?” Miroku wondered out loud.
“Almost.” Inuyasha said, sniffing at his mating mark on Kagome's neck. “My scent has faded slightly. I guess we're gonna have to do this again. I could just bite you…” Inuyasha breathed as he brushed his fangs lightly against her skin, her mark.
“And miss out on the fun part?” Kagome asked incredulously. “No, you're not getting off that easily.”
“Then, now is as good a time as any. I have something to show you.” Inuyasha invited her to climb on his back. She gave him a look, but then she just shrugged and got on his back.
Inuyasha held her much more carefully since he could feel the fullness of her body as it pressed against his.
In a few more months… I'll have a pup! He thought to himself in wonder and awe. He never thought that he would be given this happiness in life. His human grandfather once ordered him to crawl on all fours and behave like the dog he was, and his Yokai half-brother had tried to kill him repeatedly for being a weak half-human. The hanyou who belonged nowhere had found love and acceptance in the form of a strange human woman from the future who would mate him, love him, and bare his pups.
It's cause she love me… against all odds. Inuyasha thought to himself. Within a minute, he pulled out of his thoughts. The house was only a little further ahead. Inuyasha stopped and lowered his bitch to the ground. “Wait here.” He said, sprinting further ahead.
Kagome smiled and waited, her hands resting on her lower abdomen. She only had to wait about a minute before Inuyasha rushed back. “Does this have anything to do with your surprise?” She asked playfully.
“You caught me.” Inuyasha said. “Now, close your eyes.”
Kagome glared at him playfully before she did as she was told. Inuyasha gently took her hand and carefully led her to few remaining steps through the forest. A few moments later, Inuyasha stopped. “Okay.”
Kagome opened her eyes and gasped in shock. There, in the shade of the Goshinboku, was a house! Well… more like a Feudal mansion. Judging by the outside appearance, it was a multi-room structure much greater than any hut in Kaede's village. The hanyou-miko took a few tentative steps forwards, her mouth hanging open, and then she turned to face her mate. “Is this for us?” She gasped, shocked.
Inuyasha chuckled. “The villagers insisted that they build a mansion worthy of a Yokai Lord. It's a little flashy for me, but…”
“Oh, Inuyasha!” Kagome flung herself into her mate's embrace. “I love it! I love you! And in the shadow of the Goshinboku…?”
“Heh. It's where we met, ain't it? I thought it would be appropriate.” Inuyasha said. “Besides, anything for my bitch. It's not like we could raise our pups in the little shack we have been using.”
“Can we…?” Kagome asked, indicating that she wanted to go inside.
“It's your house.” Inuyasha said.
“Our house.” Kagome corrected.
Inuyasha merely smiled at her happiness and led her inside. Kagome gasped once again. It was definitely a small Feudal castle. The first room was the obvious reception area. There were two doors going off this room that obviously led to the private chambers. Kagome quickly rushed to explore them. There were five other rooms, but only two were furnished for use at the moment.
The first seemed to be a nursery. It was a really beautiful room, with a lot of natural light and well-ventilated. Kagome reverently approached the small cradle, Inuyasha a mere two steps behind her.
Tears sprang to her eyes. She realized at that moment that the reality of her pregnancy had not really sunk in until that moment. She was overwhelmed by a sudden rush of love and humility.
Kagome knew that Inuyasha would be able to smell her tears, and right on time: “Kagome? What's wrong? Why are you crying?”
She turned to face him, smiling brightly to show her hanyou that she wasn't crying in sorrow. “Can you believe it? In a few months, we're going to have a pup!”
Inuyasha smirked and placed his clawed hands on her filling-out waist. “Honestly? Not really. I keep expecting to wake up from this dream. But… if it is a dream… I'm damn well gonna enjoy it while it lasts.”
Kagome ran her gentle fingers through her mate's beautiful silver hair. “I agree.”
“Feh, bitch. If you don't stop that, I'm gonna take you right here on the nursery floor. Shippo's challenge still has my blood burning. I need to mark you again.” He nipped lightly at the mark on her neck, but not hard enough to break the skin.
“How finished his our Master Bedroom?” Kagome asked slyly.
“Finished enough.” Inuyasha said shortly, taking her hand and leading her out of the nursery, down the hall, and into the Master Bedroom.
Kagome laughed. In terms of the living quarters for the Lord and Lady, it wasn't even close to `finished'. The room was completely bare save for a simple futon. `Finished enough' described it perfectly for the activity the two mates had in mind.
Kagome molded her soft body into his hard one. She gazed up into his golden eyes for a moment before he initiated a passionate kiss.
Kagome pushed him further, moaning with pleasure as his energetic kiss ignited her lust. Her small sounds of pleasure encouraged Inuyasha to step it up.
Neither of the mates had real quality time with each other for over a month. That, and Inuyasha was being driven to renew his claim on his bitch.
Inuyasha fumbled blindly with the ties of her miko garments. They were very similar to his own kimono, but no kimono is simple to remove when one is distracted by… other things.
Despite being distracted by his own Yokai lust, he managed to remove her miko garments without tearing the fabric with his claws.
He felt her tugging on his haori, un-tucking it from his hakama. He assisted her in removing his haori and undershirt while Kagome loosened the knots on his hakama.
As usual, he was `going Commando', so she didn't have to frustrate herself with trying to learn how to untie a complicated fundoshi. (Translation: Feudal Era underwear.) She pressed sensuous open-mouthed kisses upon his hard chest, loving how he whined in Inu, begging her to continue.
“Kagome…” :Love mate. Don't stop.: He whined.
:Never.: Kagome barked back.
She kissed him again, drawing a small moan from his lips, which transformed into a full-blown canine whine of pleasure as she stroked his erection.
“Oh Kami! Kagome!” Inuyasha hissed, suddenly finding it very hard to stand.
Kagome must've noticed that his legs were shaking, because she temporarily stopped long enough for them to relocate to the futon.
Inuyasha managed to sit down while Kagome knelled down on the floor to service him. As she stroked him, the hanyou lost the ability to articulate in the human tongue. So, to make up for it, he became much more vocal in the Inu language. But his language, in either language, was still restricted to commands and exclamations of pleasure.
After several minutes, he gripped her hand with his own and stilled her movements. Kagome gazed at her hanyou, confused, but he simply smiled. :Mate.: He barked.
:Mate.: Kagome agreed, getting the message and joining him on the futon. He nuzzled her neck, lapping at the flesh.
His mouth and tongue traced a leisurely path along her body; taking extreme care to sample every inch of her delicious skin.
The familiar tightly-coiled knot of her lust formed in her lower abdomen. She arched her back, grinding her womanhood against his erection. Inuyasha hissed between tightly-clenched fangs.
:Mate be gentle with pupped bitch.: Kagome reminded him.
:Mate always gentle.: Inuyasha responded, sinking home in her essence, savoring the moan that he drew from her lips.
“Inuyasha…” She breathed heavily, arching her back again and drawing her mate in even deeper. He picked up a pretty decent pace, which had them both moaning for their mates in no time.
Every time Inuyasha dove into her willing body, Kagome felt that she was going to burst into spontaneous flames with the heat of their combined passion and love. She felt loved, and she allowed every excited moan to escape her lips without complaint so that he would feel loved also.
:Alpha love bitch.: Inuyasha barked softly, nipping lightly on the tender flesh at the nape of her neck.
:Bitch love Alpha.: Kagome replied, rubbing the soft and sensitive flesh of his ears.
“Kagome…” Inuyasha hissed. “What you do to me…”
“Show me, mate.” Kagome breathed. “Show me what I do to you.”
“Feh.” Inuyasha snorted. “You asked for it, bitch.”
He shifted their position, so that they were both braced against the futon, and then be began to plunge into his mate harder and faster than before.
“Ahhh!” Kagome howled with pleasure. “Inu—yasha!”
“See?” Inuyasha hissed through clenched teeth.
Kagome wrapped her legs around his waist in a valiant attempt to keep up with his thrusts. And her arms were wrapped around his upper body so that she could continue to kiss him whenever it pleased her.
Kagome felt her lower abdomen tighten in a knot of pleasure, and she knew that her climax was swiftly approaching. She felt Inuyasha's fangs graze her mating mark in preparation to re-mark her.
:Bitch ready?:
:Always.: Kagome barely managed to bark out the word before the knot exploded and she howled as her orgasm hit her full-force. She was dimly aware of Inuyasha finding his own climax within her and his fangs painlessly penetrating the skin of her throat.
They remained locked together, riding the full wave of their climax and milking it during its final moments.
Inuyasha carefully removed his fangs and lapped at the wound to clean it and stop the bleeding as only Yokai saliva could do.
Once he was finished, they gazed into each other's eyes, overcome with love and humility. “Kagome…” Inuyasha began.
“I know, my beautiful hanyou.” Kagome interrupted. “I feel the same way: thank you for loving me.”
Inuyasha smiled, a simple smile that only said `Thank you, Kagome'. He placed his clawed hand softly on her lower abdomen where he pup was steadily growing. They caught each other's eyes, flashed a knowing smile, and then kissed.

LES: I don't really buy all the stories where Shippo is all starry-eyed for Inuyasha being his foster-father. Rest assured, their relationship is gonna improve, but it's gonna take a lot of work on both their parts.
