Author's Notes: Apologies for the lack of updates, but for those who read the LJ, you'll know I'm obscenely busy. For those who don't read it, I'm obscenely busy. But I have time now, so I'll shut up and here we go!

 

She slept for three days.

InuYasha quietly watched his slumbering wife from the doorway, noting with a small smirk the mess the children had made of the room to `make Mama happy': Izayoi's bear was tucked under one arm, a stack of drawings sat on their nightstand, and a haphazard bunch of colorful leaves were in a glass of water in place of flowers. Blankets and pillows were on the floor from Izayoi and Sachi's stay the night before; the bed sheets were mussed and rumpled, where Ryuu and Nao had slept between their mother and himself. The children were confused by Kagome's changing scent, and thought she was sick. He thought it best to wait until she awoke, and check for possible changes in his mate before telling their pups what was going on.

She rolled over, groaning as she did so, and opened her eyes. He walked towards the bed, and sat down on the edge. “Koi, how do you feel?”

She shook her head. “Strange…”

“How strange?”

“Like… like I can run for miles and not get tired, and everything's sharper, like I'm more focused.” She mumbled, burying her face in the pillow.

“Light?”

“It's too bright…”

He found the room comfortably lit, but then again, his eyes weren't unused to seeing. And, if his brother's tips were correct, he'd always been adjusted to his sharper eyesight. He drew the blinds and dimmed the lights for her, and she cautiously peeked out from the pillow. Sighing with relief, she smiled at her husband; a small weight lifted from his shoulders as he watched her eyes warm. “Much better.” She said with content.

He leaned down, nuzzling the top of her head, but he was really checking her scent. `I… I think it worked…' He realized in astonishment. She always smelled somewhat like him, but now was different; it was as if his own scent had bonded with hers to make an entirely new scent. His mind shifted through the scents he knew, and found his brother and sister-in-law. Theirs were mingled like this as well. His elation was distracted somewhat by his mate shifting under him and capturing his lips in her own. “Mmm…”

InuYasha would have loved to continue, but his ears caught the sound of eight feet pounding their way up the stairs and reluctantly pulled himself off of his mate as their children cautiously peeked inside. Sachi was the first to notice Kagome was awake, and launched himself at the bed. “MAMA!”

The other three were not far behind, and she was quickly under a pile of squirming pups. “Oi!” InuYasha barked; the children pouted, but moved off of their mother and quieted… somewhat.

“Mama slept a lot.” Ryuu noted.

“Did you miss us?” Sachi asked.

“Sweepy, `Kaa.” Nao declared, only a little out of breath.

“Why do you smell different?” Izayoi demanded.

“No smeww diffwent.” Nao mused; she didn't yet understand her lack of canine senses.

“Yes she does, like Oyaji.” Ryuu said.

“You two slept in the bed last night, she should smell like you!” Sachi glared at the twins.

“It's not MY fault you're too slow!” Ryuu shot back.

“Boys, don't start…” Izayoi warned.

“Sachi started it!”

“I don't care who started it, I'll finish it!”

The impending fight was halted as Nao burst into tears. Kagome cooed, sitting up and scooping the girl up into her arms. “It's alright, little one, they're just playing. No one's really fighting.”

“Yes we—mphf!” Ryuu was silenced by his older sister's hand over his mouth.

Once their youngest sibling calmed down, every one of the children wanted to be cuddled. Kagome resorted to leaning against the headboard of the bed, with the twins on her lap, Sachi under one arm, and Izayoi under the other. “Yes, I did sleep a lot. I missed you all a bunch, but I got to see you in my dreams, so it made it better.” She told them, and then glanced at her husband.

He cleared his throat. “She smells different because of a spell we did.”

“What kind of spell?” Izayoi asked.

Kagome sighed. “It's something that will help me. I don't expect any of you to understand, but you know that I'm not like Otou; I'm all-human, and he's part-human.”

Four heads nodded. She continued, “Well, because of that, Otou's a lot older than I am, and he'll continue to be a lot older than I am.”

“Will he be as old as Uncle Fluff?” Sachi asked.

InuYasha bit the inside of his cheek to stop from laughing; Sachi had never been able to pronounce Sesshou-maru's name, instead choosing to announce the first thing that came to mind: the fluffy mokomoko. Sesshou-maru had yet to recover any form of dignity from such a nickname. Kagome managed to smile without laughing. “Otou will be as old as Uncle Sesshou-maru someday, yes. Unfortunately, I wasn't going to be that old. That's why we did the spell.”

“So you can get old?” Ryuu asked, slightly repulsed.

“Sort of…” Kagome pursed her lips, unsure of how to explain.

InuYasha stepped in. “It's so she'll be more like us.” He explained.

“Will she have a special day?” Izayoi asked, referring to their respective human (or in Nao's case, hanyou) days.

“No, it's not like that… it's hard to explain, pups.” He told them. “Okaa's going to get better now though.”

Sachi's ears perked up at this. “You won't be sad anymore, Mama? That's good. I don't like it when you're sad.”

“Me neither.” The other three chimed in.

Kagome's lips tightened as she tried not to cry. She hugged her children; had she really been so bad? To cause her children to be upset, simply because she worried so much? That wasn't fair, she decided. Suddenly, she was even gladder that she and InuYasha had done this. If her children had been silently suffering as well, it was more than enough to hear that this might make things better in their house. Glancing at her husband, she took note of the relieved look on his face. `I feel… like I've just woken up from a horrible dream… a very, very long dream…' She thought, kissing each child on the head. `And if I've been dreaming, I can only imagine the nightmare the rest of them have been having…'

*~*~*~*

It took most of the day for Kagome to get used to her newness. She wasn't exactly sure the full extent of what the blood bond had done. The perks were being able to keep up with four active children and her husband without getting very tired at all; she also noticed her eyesight was better, which meant that she didn't need those reading glasses anymore when she looked at her textbooks. Hearing and scent, on the other hand, didn't improve. While part of her was relieved, another was slightly disappointed. She would appreciate the advanced warning when Ryuu would be picking on someone two rooms away, and she could stop it before it started. However, the headaches that both hearing and scent improvement would have caused were not going to be missed.

Another improvement was noticed later in the day. After the children were put to bed, she walked downstairs and saw InuYasha lounging on the couch, one hand with the TV remote, and the other absently petting the cat, Inago. Pausing on the last stair, she put a hand on her hip. “Now look at you. Acting like you own the place with your feet up on my nice furniture, while I put the heathens to bed.” She teased.

“Keh! Wench! I do own the place, and since when is it your furniture? I bought it!” He smirked.

“And leaving me with the children?”

“Keh, pups've been on you all day, wouldn't let me near them.”

The look she gave him changed, and he blinked. He hadn't seen that in… “Come here, koinu…” She whispered.

Her sultry whisper was like a rope, tying him up and pulling him to her. Almost in a daze, he dropped the remote and stood, following her up the stairs and into their bedroom. She closed and locked the door behind them. “No interruptions tonight…” She murmured, slinking up behind him and running her hands up his back to rub his shoulders.

InuYasha stood stock-still as she unbuttoned his shirt, her hands roaming around his chest before sliding the offending garment to the floor. Moving his hair, she planted soft kisses across his back, and he let his head loll back in appreciation. He hissed as her hands slid further down his chest, her fingers nimbly playing in the dips and grooves of his muscles, and went to work on his belt. “K'gome…”

“I'm sorry… about everything lately…” She murmured between kisses.

“Keh… don't worry about it, wench.” He murmured in reply, catching her hands in his.

Kagome rested her head against his back. “No, I am… I never realized how bad it was for everyone… I thought it was just me, but then you snapped me into reality at the hospital that day… and then the children today…”

Giving her arm a gently pull, InuYasha gathered her into his arms. “Koi… you're worried about Nao. I know. I… I am too. But we can't do anything about that. She's sick, and she's going to be sick for a long time.”

Kagome nodded. “I know… It's just hard…”

“Keh, don't think I don't know that…” He muttered.

“I wasn't implying…”

“Don't matter. Kagome, just… promise that if… when you get that burdened again, let me help. Don't do it again.” He lifted her chin so as to look her in the eyes.

“Okay.” She whispered.

She tugged on his forelocks, and brought him in for a kiss. His hands roamed down her body to squeeze her ass firmly. She squeaked, pinching his in return. He chuckled as she broke this kiss to pout at him; the chuckle died as soon as she began to strip, however. His hands itched to help her remove those flimsy barriers that covered his mate's beauty, but he knew this game she played.

The surprise was when his wonderfully nude mate crawled onto the bed on all fours, and dared to look over her shoulder at him. She wiggled her bottom a little, and he suppressed a growl. She didn't know what she was doing, teasing his youkai like that. “Well…?”

Okay, maybe she did.

InuYasha's pants were on the floor faster than she could blink. He tried to push her down on the mattress, but she shook her head. “This way.”

“Kagome…”

“We've never done it like this.”

“Yeah, but there's a—”

“Don't you want me to submit to you?”

His throat went tight. His youkai was clamoring for him to just do it already, taking her hard and fast, showing her what it meant to present herself like that. And frankly, he didn't mind listening to it for once. Kneeling behind her, he reached around to squeeze a breast. She hissed at him, “Dammit, InuYasha, we haven't done this in six months! I'm ready, for Kami's sake, just do it!!”

All too happy to oblidge, InuYasha gently spread her legs and assumed the position. One arm around her waist, he drew her in, parting her lips as he sheathed himself in her hot core. He hissed as she enveloped him. “Gods…”

Kagome whimpered, thrusting herself back into him. “Hard… please, harder…”

Pure fire drove him into her. Months of frustrations had built up, and they both needed this; this wasn't a tender lovemaking, this was a hard tussle in the hay, a release of all the worry, the tension, the panic over the last year. Her walls rippled around him like a sea of pleasure, begging for his attentions. He was draped over her back, holding her up with one arm and bracing himself on the other. Her soft cries fueled the intense fire within; his mouth latched to her neck, nipping and sucking the tender skin, driving her further into ecstasy. When she fell to her elbows, he sat them both up, pounding into her harder, almost bouncing her off of his lap as he impaled her onto his hard cock. Her hands became entwined in his hair, the abrupt brushes against his ears almost making him come before his mate. She arched against him in rapture, her head thrashing wildly against his shoulder as he drove himself into her womb over and over again.

Kagome hadn't felt this intense level of pleasure in ages. The absolute height was so close, but she couldn't fly high enough just yet. One hand slipped down her own body to pleasure herself while her mate thrust just below her fingers. It was almost dirty, pleasing herself while he fucked her into oblivion, but she had already decided that it wasn't going to be a tender night. They needed a wild release; her body thrummed in delight at their pace, his cock showing her pussy no mercy as she drenched him in her juices. InuYasha bit her shoulder, more roughly than he'd intended, but it sent a thrill through her body, just enough to push her over into a violent orgasm. She bit down onto her own arm as she muffled her scream, her senses flying higher than they had in months; her mate was quieter, somehow, his own release coming hard on her heels.

They collapsed onto the bed. InuYasha thrust in time with her own aftershocks, intensifying them and making her want him all the more. Unfortunately, he pulled himself from her, covering her with the blankets as he stiffly got out of bed. “I'll be back.” He whispered, kissing her brow.

She grumbled as he left to turn off the lights. She was still glowering when he returned, and he laughed at the look she gave him. “Still?”

“Bed. Now.” She ordered firmly.

“Insatiable.” He teased.

“Your blood.” She retorted, yanking him under the covers and locking him in place with a leg over his waist.

He moaned into her mouth as she thrust her tongue against his. He could get used to this. Breaking it, he rested his forehead against hers. “Are you sure you just can't keep your paws off me?” He breathed.

“Fine. I slept for three days, and I want you to thoroughly exhaust me” She purred.

That, he could do. He said as much as he mounted her again. She grinned in reply, and with a thust of her hips, pulled him back in.

 

((Ugh, that lemon had to be pulled out of me. But I wanted this out tonight, I have two final papers to write, and then I can devote more time to creative measures during Christmas break. Just as a end note, I have had them make love in a kind of spooning manner, but never strict doggy-style. I just wanted to play with that one a bit, I get an ironic giggle whenever that pops up. I hope you enjoyed it, and please leave a review!!))
