Chapter 11 — Tying Loose Ends
Kagome peeled the cooling pad away from Keishi’s forehead, smoothing his hair to the side. Rolling the used gel material into a wad, she pocketed it reminding herself to throw it out later. Keishi slept soundly in her arms, his head resting firmly on her bosom with a low purr. She continued massaging his ears in gentle motions to prevent him from vomiting the fourth time during the plane ride. Luckily they were seated near the lavatories in the first class section.
It was Keishi’s first time on a plane and Kagome wasn’t sure how he’d handle it, considering how long the ride was. The first thirty minutes had been fine, but shortly after, the pressure of the air and the mass stench of people had Keishi hurling. Granted his illness hadn’t subsided from the previous night, Kagome brought him along anyways. His excitement the night before was the reason why she agreed in the first place. There was no chance she’d shatter the happiness in his eyes that she hadn’t seen for the past few days.
Maneuvering her body to not wake her baby, Kagome reached for her purse lying underneath the seat. For the tenth time since she got on the plane, she searched her bag pulling out odds and ends, but she couldn’t find the very necklace Inuyasha had given her. It wasn’t possible that she lost it somewhere, but she was sure she’d put it in her bag before she left Sango’s home. With a scowl, Kagome zipped the flimsy material with all its contents before tossing it back under the seat.
She sighed, one hand feeling around her neck where the missing weight used to be. It was a wonder how such a small thing could make such a big difference in her disposition. The necklace meant more to her than any piece of jewelry she’d ever worn because it once belonged to Inuyasha’s deceased mother. Kagome was sure he’d been hesitant to give it to her or any other woman in fact because the golden jade chain remained a memento for him. Still, it didn’t relieve her that it was missing in the first place. As soon as she got off the plane, Kagome would make sure to give Sango a call. Inuyasha’s necklace was her treasure and although Inuyasha and her weren’t at good terms for the moment, she still cherished it with her life.
Throwing her head back on the seat, Kagome stared out the window only to see the clouds below her. She was beginning to feel a bit feverish, an impending headache just waiting to get her when she least expected it. Somehow the thought of being over five thousand miles away from home had her heart pounding. It was the farthest she’d ever been from Japan but she told herself it would be worth the experience.
The pilot’s voice suddenly boomed on the intercom. “Passengers, please fasten your seat belts, we will be landing shortly in New York.”
Kagome scrunched her nose as the seat belt sign above her lighted up as a reminder. Slightly, she poked her son only adding to his rebellious behavior as he burrowed deeper into her. She knew he was exhausted and cranky, but she needed to put him back in his seat.
“Keishi honey, it’s time to sit down. We’re getting off soon.” She knew he was awake, but he continued to ignore her hoping she’d allow him to stay where he was. Without warning, Kagome lifted him into his seat, his whimpers following shortly.
“Mama,” Keishi cried realizing she’d just buckled him tightly in his seat. He bawled, pulling at her arm. He didn’t want to sit by himself. He didn’t feel safe when he wasn’t in her arms. “Hold me mama,” he begged struggling to get out of his chair with no luck. Kagome only shook her head which escalated his wails.
“It’ll only be for a couple moments baby,” she tried to coo once again caressing his ears to stop his erratic behavior.
In a matter of time, he stopped crying, but the warmth of his body increased tremendously as it permeated through his skin to Kagome. Putting her palm of her hand on his forehead, Kagome bit the inside of her cheek firmly. Keishi was burning like an overgrown fire and his sudden stillness worried her.
“Keishi, you okay big boy?” Kagome gently pushed his head back to lean against her. He nodded slowly in response, gripping around her arm as if she would abandon him suddenly.
Digging into her back pocket, Kagome opened a new package of cooling pads, peeling off the plastic that contained the gel before pasting it on her son’s head. It seemed to help him as they descended down the sky at a steady pace. It was silent between the two of them as Kagome kissed the top of his head hoping the plane would land soon.
“Mama?” Keishi’s tired voice squeaked up. “When I see Mr. Something again?”
Kagome swallowed a large ball lodged in the back of her throat. She didn’t expect that question so suddenly.
“As soon as we get home baby. Promise.” And she wasn’t going to lie. When Sunday night came around, she and Keishi were going to head straight to Inuyasha’s mansion whether he welcomed them or not. Kagome was getting tired of playing the waiting game and if Inuyasha needed time to think things over, she was giving it to him.
“Good.” Keishi’s spirits seemed to lift. “I miss him,” he admitted quietly already dozing off.
Another twenty minutes quietly passed before they were allowed to escape the small enclosed space. Kagome lifted Keishi from his seat hurriedly walking out the plane before saying her thanks to the pilot and flight attendants. It was a good feeling to be standing after such a long plane ride and she bet Keishi was more relieved than she was.
They made their way with the crowd of people that exited with them towards the luggage baggage claim area. Setting Keishi on his feet, Kagome dug out from her purse a toy he had picked out before leaving Japan. She handed him the small car, letting it occupy his attention as she waited for their luggage to fall from the carrier. She sat on one of the nearby benches, watching her son play beside her as she kept an eye out for their items.
Just as soon as she relaxed the sound of clanking caught her attention as a load of suitcases came streaming down the conveyor. She spotted Keishi’s tiny ninja turtle luggage from the rest of the overstuffed cases as she dashed over to retrieve it. It wasn’t too long until her case came along, tumbling down with the other colorful ones. With one mighty reach, Kagome managed to haul the bags over the edge. Returning her awareness back to her ill son, Kagome realized he was nowhere in sight.
“Keishi?” she called out, towing both cases behind her. She looked around her wondering where he could have gone. He knew better than to go off on her own without her permission.
“Excuse me, did you happen to see a little boy about three years old with silver hair running around?” Kagome asked a middle aged woman sitting around the area where Keishi had been playing.
“Sorry ma’am, I didn’t see him,” the woman apologized looking apathetic. Kagome gave her a curt nod before looking around again. Perhaps he was still in the area just hiding underneath the seat, but with so many people around she knew he wouldn’t do such a thing. It was also quite possible that he passed out somewhere due to exhaustion. His fever was still quite high from what she could tell and if she knew her son well, he was ready to collapse.
Trying to keep calm, Kagome tugged the heavy items behind her twisting her head in every direction possible. She moved a little ways, staying in the area in case Keishi wandered back looking for her. The warm liquid forming quickly dared to spill from the back of her eyes as she tried to keep herself composed.
If she lost her son, she’d die.

Kei shi rolled his toy car around on the bench waiting for his mama to finish collecting their luggage. He paid the people no attention as he accidently pushed the toy off the edge onto the ground. In a hurry, Keishi plopped on the floor reaching for the toy until a large man’s foot kicked the small item into the walkway without realizing. The tiny hanyou frowned in disappointment as he watched his toy get kicked around by wandering feet.
That mine cah! Mr. Something give me that cah!
Angrily, Keishi rushed off into the crowd crawling on the ground until he spotted his target. He dizzily made his way through the large crowd of people until found his prize. Grasping for it quickly, Keishi stood up to look around. His surroundings changed completely. He didn’t remember seeing such a large open space. There weren’t even that many people walking around.
Trailing back to where he came from, Keishi clearly had gone the wrong way. His lips trembled as two big fat tears rolled down his eyes. Through hazy eyes, he spotted his mother walking away from him. Although he didn’t remember her wearing a dress, he chased after the back of his mother. He was sure it was her.
“MAMA!!! Mama, I here! Mama!” His voice came out coarse and dry. His fever wasn’t helping him as each step seemed to be more strenuous, but he continued to walk forward. Keishi didn’t want his mama to worry anymore. He knew how stressed she’d been since the weekend and he was only adding onto it.
Although he called out, his mother continued to ignore him causing him to wail louder.
“MAMA! Wait for Keishi!” He screamed with all the air his lungs could produce but he tripped. Tiredly looking up, Keishi could see that his mother turned around and walked back towards him. He smiled but his eyes didn’t hold out long enough to recognize that that woman was not his mother at all.

Inuyas ha stretched his neck and limbs as he tumbled out from his private jet. The long fifteen hour flight was more than he could handle. It was no wonder he rarely ever traveled to do business in America. He thanked the pilot for kindly flying him such a far way with short notice.
Pulling out one of his business cards from within his wallet, Inuyasha scribbled a separate number with the pen inside his shirt. “Make sure you call this number for compensation. I’m sure I’ve troubled you.”
The man took it kindly, bowing lowly for Inuyasha as the hanyou ran off towards the inside of the large international airport. Kagome’s plane landed about thirty minutes before his and if Sesshoumaru promised to do the favor Inuyasha asked before leaving Japan then he would be able to meet with them shortly.
As much as Inuyasha wanted to hate his brother, he hoped Sesshoumaru pulled through with the small favor. It seemed the elder brother had connections with the chief of securities at the airport they were all landing at. If all went as planned, Kagome and Keishi would be waiting for him in the security office; it was only a matter of time.
Rushing through the large mass of people, Inuyasha followed the signs annoyed by the glares he was getting. He didn’t quite give a damn as he shuffled through them trying to reach his destination.
Running down the escalators by two he tried to calm his racing heart. During the long ride to America, Inuyasha chanted a mantra to himself to remain calm. Honestly, he didn’t quite know how he would react when he saw them again. A small part of him wanted to be angry at Kagome for hiding and lying for such a long time, yet a bigger part of him wanted to forgive her because she had shown him a love that he thought never existed. Either way, Inuyasha knew he’d never let them out of his sight again.
He continued on his way looking for the sign that would lead to security, but the very smell that haunted his dreams caught his attention. He didn’t know if he’d become delusional after the long flight but his nose was quite sure. Standing about fifteen feet ahead of him was Kagome in tears. She held a small piece of paper in her hand asking random strangers for something Inuyasha couldn’t make out from all the noise. Each stride he took was bigger than the next until he was by her side, gripping her by the wrist to get her attention.
“Kagome…” his voice was barely audible as her head turned in his direction. Her eyes were bleary but she snatched her arm back when she saw him and walked away. For a few brief moments Inuyasha stood shocked. He expected her to be surprised, but he’d been the one surprised. She absolutely just ignored him. Did she not recognize him?
Getting back to his senses, Inuyasha chased after her relentlessly. He called her name, but she kept her back to him looking everywhere but him. Her ignorance annoyed him beyond his limits. She was trying his patience and if she continued he wouldn’t be held responsible for his actions.
Catching up to her, Inuyasha pinned her by the shoulders forcing her body towards him, but she glared at him, her face pale and exhausted.
“Let go of me Inuyasha,” she shouted bitterly fighting him. It only agitated him more as he pulled her to him in a tight embrace.
“No,” he responded adamantly squeezing her harder despite her pounding fists and his frustration. He just found her, he wouldn’t let go of her ever.
“Let go of me you jerk. I hate you!” She cried into his shoulder, her fists falling. “Give me back my baby Inuyasha. Give me back my boy,” she sobbed clinging on to him as if he were the last thing to hold to.
Inuyasha absorbed her words in a moment of weakness that had Kagome falling forward, fisting her hands into his wrinkled shirt. He knew she didn’t mean to say those words, but he couldn’t help but feel like he had been responsible for this situation.
“Someone took our Keishi Inuyasha,” she wept letting the tears she held dampen Inuyasha’s chest. “They took our little boy Inuyasha.”
Inuyasha struggled to keep his composure. His hold around Kagome tightened as he gave her as much comfort as he could give. He didn’t understand the circumstances of Keishi’s disappearance but he could guarantee someone was going to get a beating later. The amount of worry inside him built tremendously, but he had to be strong for Kagome. Her weakened stance in front of him was already tearing him apart. His foolish pride and actions were what led to this.
He held her like she was all that he had, but he felt her give way as she collapsed against him. Inuyasha called her name, but she passed out, her hands slipping from his shirt.
By now a crowd had gathered around them, but those strangers were nonexistent to Inuyasha. What he imagined to be a peaceful reunion with the people he loved turned out to be a disaster that Inuyasha couldn’t control. Picking Kagome’s slack body up, Inuyasha securely wrapped his arms around her speaking promises to find their son. There was no way in hell Inuyasha was going to let the kidnapper have mercy.

Kagome rolled back and forth on the flat squishy surface. Where ever she was, it was nice and comfortable, but somewhere in the back of her head, a voice was yelling for her to wake. And so she did. Sitting up abruptly, she nearly vomited from the pain that rushed through her head. A cold wet towel landed in her lap as she assumed it had been on her forehead. Squinting in the darkness, she tried to recall what had happened that landed her in this predicament.
Stepping out of the bed sheets, she tumbled towards the half opened door feeling exhaustion eat at her bones. She didn’t have the time to lay around in bed when she remembered her son was missing. The back of her eyes were already brimming with tears when she reached the door, but stopped suddenly when the gruff voice from the other room began to argue with someone on the phone.
“You fucking told me you’d find him in thirty minutes! It’s been three fucking hours!” Inuyasha cursed, Kagome watching him pace back and forth as he continued to scream through the cordless phone. It was then she realized the absolute exhaustion displayed on his face. He looked like he hadn’t slept for weeks, his hair frazzled and his once bright eyes now dull. His clothes were wrinkled and unbuttoned as if he didn’t even have the time to clean himself up.
“So you want me to wait here until you guys find him? Fuck, I could do your job better!”
She continued to watch him yell at whoever was on the other side of the phone, until he finally had had enough and hung up. He growled at the phone before clambering down on the sofa and held his head like it was going to explode. That’s when she heard the muffled sobs escape from his mouth. At first she thought she’d heard wrong, but his wails escalated with each second. It was a heart wrenching sound that made Kagome weak in the knees as a waterfall of tears dripped down her face.
She was supposed to be angry at that man for not wanting to see her and listen to what she had to say, so why did she go to him?
Quick on her feet, Kagome scrambled to the lonely sofa. She didn’t think he had noticed her presence when she sat beside him and rubbed his back, but he turned his head to meet her eyes. His expression was pained, empty, and confused. The tears that fell from his handsome features gripped at her heart, tearing through all of her emotions. This man that she had fallen in love and never seen cry in her life was shedding tears that hurt her more than he could imagine.
Kagome pulled him to her, allowing him to hide his face in the crook of her neck. He graciously took her offer, gripping her closer to him, breathing her in. Neither adults spoke, but for an unknown amount of time, they both wept silently, holding one another to seek whatever comfort they could get.
Inuyasha was the first to release her, rubbing his eyes with his forearm. He cleared his throat before taking a deep steady breath.
“Kagome,” he turned his head to face her. “Why didn’t you tell me Keishi was mine?”
Kagome expected that question, and as she had practiced many times in her brain to answer him, she never knew how difficult it was to actually speak those words out loud. With a solemn breath, she forced the sound of her voice through her shaken lips.
“I was in love with you,” she spoke, staring him directly in the eyes. He didn’t speak and looked aggravated by her answer, but he stood from his seat.
“You were in love with me?” Inuyasha asked almost in disbelief. The sadness that he displayed minutes before no longer present in his fiery eyes.
“If you were in love with me why didn’t you tell me? Did you think I wouldn’t take care of you? Did you think I was not capable of raising our son? For god sakes Kagome, I would’ve made sure nothing like this would happen to you, to us!”
Kagome swallowed his harsh words, keeping her temper down and her tears locked behind her eyes. She didn’t expect him to easily let this conversation slide. She knew how protective he could be and although it was a good characteristic of his, it could fairly easily be his worse.
“It was because I loved you Inuyasha that I couldn’t burden you with me and Keishi. You don’t understand at all. I was goi—”
“So it’s my fault now, because I don’t understand?” He cut her off. “Then make me understand Kagome. Tell me, fuck, convince me that at that time you were pregnant I didn’t have the right to know!” Inuyasha stood above her as if trying to belittle her in anyway, but she wouldn’t allow him.
Standing, Kagome gave him a fierce look. “If I told you I was pregnant with your son, would you have easily dumped Kikyo and come to me? You were dating my cousin Inuyasha. How could I make you chose between me and her. It wasn’t your decision to make. It was mine!”
“It didn’t matter if I was dating Kikyo or not. It was my job to help you raise our son dammit! Why can’t you understand Kagome?”
“Because,” she spoke, her voice cracking. Kagome could feel those unwanted tears begin to clog her eye sight. “If it made you happy to be with Kikyo, that’s all that mattered to me. Do you know how much I was ashamed of myself for liking my own cousin’s boyfriend? Could you possibly understand how much it hurt every time I watched you kiss her or hold her hand? You were never mine to begin with Inuyasha, so what makes you think that you would’ve have been capable of raising a baby with me? All of this time I—”
“Stop Kagome,” Inuyasha’s voice was stern, but she didn’t listen.
“You wanted me to make you understand didn’t you? Then try to understand. It was because Kikyo was the only one in your eyes. You never looked at me the way you looked at her. And when she was around you’d just ignored me. To you I was probably just another girl you would meet to pass the time with until Kikyo was done with her job. Then you’d toss me aside. I was a stupid love stricken girl back then. I didn’t want my son to ever feel like he was an obligation to you. And when—”
“Kagome,” Inuyasha’s voice was losing to hers.
“I never wanted Keishi to have a father who didn’t love his mother Inuyasha!” She practically yelled the last sentence, her voice loud enough to be heard from outside the hotel room. Kagome broke down, falling on her knees. She couldn’t do it anymore. The more she spoke the more she realized it was the truth and it hurt. Her tears wouldn’t stop as she bawled like a heart broken woman. Her feelings that she’d been hiding for so long were finally out.
.
.
.
̶ 0;I never wanted Keishi to have a father who didn’t love his mother Inuyasha!”
Her words were like a knife to his chest. As much as her reason for leaving him in the dark was stupid, it finally made sense. He was oblivious to her feelings in the past and perhaps he was more oblivious to his own emotions. Back then, when he was sure he’d been in love with Kikyo, somewhere in his mind, he knew Kagome had taken a bigger part of his heart. He’d denied it so many times to the point he was making excuses to hang out with Kagome when Kikyo was working. But he had been so blind to his feeling that he’d allowed Kagome to suffer so many years alone without the support that she needed.
There on the ground, she sat crying out all the pent up pain that he caused her. So when all was said and done, was it still okay for him to have her?
Bending beside her, Inuyasha yanked her into his arms. She fought him, forcing him away with all her might, but he held firm. He initiated the conversation that led to her current state and he’d be damned if he let her continue with it. She was a fragile being, more fragile than the rarest piece of jewel.
“I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!” Kagome shouted into his chest much like earlier at the airport, but Inuyasha only shrugged at her comeback.
“I know,” he responded, kissing the top of her head and tugging her closer to his body. “I’m sorry Kagome. I’m so sorry.” He kissed her forehead this time, waiting for her to give herself to him.
Inuyasha wasn’t mad at her, heck he was just frustrated about everything that had happened in the last couple of days. His lack of competency and ignorance to her feelings was what had brought forth the anger in him during their conversation. He really didn’t hold any grudge against her. She had been trying so hard to keep Keishi away from him for his sake because she honestly didn’t believe he loved her the way she wanted.
Feeling her tremoring body slowly calm, he positioned himself so their foreheads touched. Her eyes were still swollen from her tears, but he kissed each eye sweetly, licking her tears. Staring at her again, a tickling feeling from his chest brought a handsome smile to his face.
You idiot. Inuyasha smooth her hair back. I’ve loved you since you were seven. Inuyasha’s eyes, twinkled. He continued giving her a look than gave her that girlish blush he loved so much. Before she could say anything to ruin the moment, his lips were sealed against hers. It had only been four days since he last kissed her, but the richness of her taste made it feel like he hadn’t had her for an eternity.
He was gentle, each touch a promise for what was yet to come. Lifting her onto the sofa without breaking contact, Inuyasha sucked on her sweet lips igniting sounds that excited his core. He was sure of one thing, she wasn’t upset anymore. He could smell how much enjoyment she was getting from his love, and their game wouldn’t end here. Until he made sure she knew who she belonged to, he wasn’t going to stop.
Slyly, he slipped one hand between the thick fabric hiding her torso. He made sure to massage all accessible flesh from her belly up until he reached her hanging jugs. It was a blissful feeling, especially as she leaned into his touch moaning his name and not some other man’s. His blood was rushing a million miles an hour, begging him to claim what belonged to him.
Kissing her lips one last time, he reluctantly pulled apart, seeking her eyes for any hesitation. He was ready for the next step and he damned knew well that she knew what he was asking for. It didn’t take Einstein to figure out that he was ready to mate with his lovely woman. This time, he would make things right. He would claim her how he should have when they first bonded.
Waiting for her reply, she didn’t waver as he plucked her off the couch towards the bedroom. Even before he set her on the bed, she had managed to rip his shirt off lapping at his neck and suckling the soft flesh. That tongue of hers was doing wonders to him, he couldn’t wait to find out what she could do next. Straddling above her, Inuyasha’s impatience had him ripping her shirt from her body revealing her bountiful breasts teasing him from behind her bra. Besides the one time Miroku had tricked him into going to that strange lesbian strip club, Inuyasha had never seen a naked woman’s body before. And if all women looked liked Kagome, well, he wouldn’t mind at all.
He made haste, quickly attacking her newfound body. His hands quietly explored her body, kneading places that made her squirm under his touch. Her hands wrapped themselves around his neck as he placed kisses along her throat, groping one of her breasts in his hand. He teased her hardened nipple through the flimsy material before discarding the bra all together. It was a shame she had to hide such beauties, but as long as they were for him to see, it didn’t matter.
Spending some time with his new toys, Inuyasha indulged himself in the melodious noises she made with each nip and sucking motion he adorned her with. Rolling his tongue around the taut flesh, the heat from her core was readily warming as her liquid scent scorched hisnostrils. With one hand, he fumbled with the zipper of her pants, before yanking it with one go revealing her underpants. Her warm juices had already soaked the wimpy cotton as he kicked off his pants as well.
He brought his lips to her mouth again, muffling her voice. He kissed her with an amount of passion that was meant to tell her that he loved her. He would protect her and their family forever. He was making her promises now that he would never break. She would belong to him if she would have him.
Flicking the sides of her panties, he rolled them down her legs revealing her leaking core. Her scent was telling him she was almost ready, but until then, he would have some fun. Daringly, he ran his hands along the insides of her thighs, his fingers passing over her sex. His thumb casually pressed against a bundle of soft tissue that had her whining. He carefully rubbed the excited muscle, her hips lifting slightly of the bed.
Without warning, he inserted a finger through her forbidden cave. Her walls squeezed him tightly and he wondered how exactly he would get his puppy in. She was too tight for what he wanted, he worried he would hurt her.
Nipping at her neck again, Inuyasha trailed towards her ears, whispering words that were meant to relax and calm her. Sliding two fingers in, she adjusted quickly as he pulled in and out of her slowly. She bucked her hips into his fingers, and as much as he enjoyed her efforts, he’d rather she thrust herself against his more solid muscle making a stand from his boxers. He never exhibited such a hard pain from below before, he swore it would explode within minutes.
Just as she was about to get off, he stopped his pleasurable torment, not allowing her to climax at her will. Inuyasha saw the disappointment reach her eyes, and he grinned kissing her frown.
“If you will have me, I promise to keep you forever,” Inuyasha said in a rapsy voice, tickling her soft skin.
Kagome replied with an unexpected squeeze to his elongating shaft. “Well, then,” Kagome licked her lips for show, “Don’t keep me waiting.”
Her words were more than encouragement as he positioned himself at her entrance. Slowly edging his way into her, he couldn’t help the soft moans escape from his lips. This feeling was much better than using his hands any day. It was a challenge to keep from plunging right into her, but it made it all the better knowing that he had been the first and only person to gain the right to enter her.
Letting her adjust to his continuously growing shaft, Inuyasha began to move slowly inside her. Her body was quick to alter to his hardness as his pumped slowly giving her absolute pain and pleasure. He was patient with her, but it seemed like patience was not in her book. She suddenly gripped his hips as she propelled forwards at a quicker speed. She moved her hips, screaming his name and begging him to move faster. He wouldn’t deny his woman.
Gripping her buttocks, Inuyasha made sure to drive himself forward in an undulating pattern. His lips were everywhere on her skin, his nose engraining every one of the places and positions that gave her the sweetest scent. The music they were making with their bodies was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard in his life. He pumped into her forcefully as a fine sheen of sweat covered the entirety of their bodies.
Inuyasha felt the tingling of his balls ignite when her vaginal walls greedily sucked him of all his juices. For that split second, Inuyasha’s eyes glowed red as his fang nicked the skin between Kagome’s collar bone and shoulder. His tongue licked the swollen skin until it healed instantly leaving an opaque crescent. With the wave of ecstasy flowing through the both of them, Kagome didn’t even feel the mark her mate had given her as they both collapsed on the bed.
Inuyasha rolled his back, dragging Kagome onto his chest. His member remained attached inside her as he pulled out of her getting a soft groan from her.
“I swear, you did that on purpose you jerk,” Kagome inched her way towards his face, her breasts resting right below his chin.
“Did I do something wrong?” He feigned innocence, running his hands up her thighs until they rested on her buns.
Kagome shook her head, resting her ear against his beating heart. They stayed like that a while, bathing in the afterglow of their hot sweet sex. He had finally done it. This time, however, he would remember just how pleasant it was.
That’s when Inuyasha’s nose picked up on her scent. Although her scent was still sweet, there was something about it that made him go crazy with joy. His eyes suddenly focused in on the mark on her collar bone. Running a cold finger across it, he felt Kagome’s body tingle underneath. His heart beat louder, as he kissed the silvery mark.
“My mate,” he murmured into her ears.
“Hmm?” Kagome looked up at him, but he gave her a wolfish grin. Wrapping her up in the sheets cast aside, he searched for his pants, pulling out two small velvet boxes that belonged to her and only her. Flicking the small lamp on, Inuyasha crawled back onto the bed, reaching for her left hand. He kissed each of her delicate fingers before letting go and opening the tiny red box. Even before he opened it, Kagome was already in tears.
“Kagome, I’m not good at saying this, but if you marry me, I promise I will do everything I can to make you the happiest mate alive. I just need you to say yes.” It wasn’t a question, it was a statement and the smile she gave him let him know he was a winner.
She nodded, throwing her naked body against him, squeezing him so tight, he thought he dropped the ring. Loosening her hold, Inuyasha reached for her left hand, slipping the large diamond ring onto her slender finger. He kissed her finger again, before pecking her on the lips. He was so glad he had prepared that ring. While in Osaka, he had caught a glimpse of it and although he hadn’t planned on proposing to her so soon, it didn’t matter. In the end, she was his.
His eyes never left her face as she glowed more enchantingly than before. Damn, I am one lucky bastard, he thought inwardly, kissing her nose. Reaching around for the second jewelry box, Kagome was much quicker as she snatched it from his hands.
“Where did you find this?” she questioned, holding the jade necklace in her hands tightly. Inuyasha was slightly confused.
“Uh, Sango gave it to me?” He responded, not quite understanding. He thought Kagome had given it to Sango to give back to him, but Kagome’s reaction said otherwise.
“So I did leave it at Sango’s. Thank goodness.” Kagome was already refastening the chain around her neck, pressing her lips to the small jade. “I was so worried. I thought I lost it in the airport.” She hugged him again, “Thank you Inuyasha. You don’t understand what you mean to me.”
Inuyasha sighed. Miroku, Sango, you guys are dead when I get back, he reminded himself, but the view of Kagome’s naked ass was a much better distraction.
Suddenly rolling her over, Inuyasha gave her a wink. Not even for a moment did he allow her to speak as he continued round two of what they had started. However the annoying ring of the hotel phone jingled, breaking the sensual atmosphere.
Inuyasha cursed as he tore his lips apart from Kagome’s. Flipping the sheets aside, he grabbed the receiver, putting it to his ears.
“What the hell do you want?” Inuyasha’s harsh words left his mouth. Kagome gently punched him for it, reminding him not to speak so rudely. He ignored her for the moment, wanting nothing more than to jump her especially the way she laid so openly.
“Excuse me Mr. Takahashi, but there is a woman down here who claims to have your son. We have verified your son’s identity and the woman is being held down by the lobby. How should we proceed sir?”
Inuyasha was frozen, his body tense. Had they really found Keishi?
Inuyasha shook himself from his reverie. “Make sure she doesn’t leave until I see her. And keep the boy in sight. I will be down there shortly,” Inuyasha demanded. Hanging up the phone, Inuyasha quickly shucked his discarded boxers on as well as the rest of his clothes.
“Inuyasha, what’s happening?” Kagome asked, watching her new mate frantically redress. He quickly went to his unopened luggage, pulling out a pair of boxers, a t-shirt and his sweat pants.
“Hurry, put this on,” Inuyasha pulled his large t-shirt over her body before handing her the rest of the clothes he had pulled out. “Security says they have Keishi downstairs. Let’s go.”
The both of them rushed into clothes, not caring if it was on backwards or not as they fled down the stairs hand in hand. It took only a few minutes until they made it to the lobby, a security team centered on an area where onlookers were already crowding the area.
Inuyasha shoved his way through the people, getting more pissed as the random spectators shoved his Kagome to the side like an object. Those people had no right to get in their way as he growled.
“Move the hell away!” Inuyasha snarled, as everyone cowered back. The head of security recognized Inuyasha’s voice as he commanded his workers to clear the room of unnecessary bodies.
“Sir and madam,” the stout man who was in charge of Keishi’s case bowed. “This way please.” Leading them to another room, Kagome released Inuyasha’s hand when she saw her boy sitting on the sofa crying beyond words.
“Keishi!” Kagome scooped him up, kissing him everywhere, wiping his snot and tears.
Keishi hugged her fiercly, letting his tears fall onto her should. “Ma-ma,” he cried, holding her like she’d leave him suddenly, but she rocked him back and forth rubbing one of his ears.
“Shhh…Mama’s right here. It’s okay now. I’m right here.” Kagome hummed him a lullaby that always lulled him to sleep. Especially in this situation, she was sure Keishi had experienced enough stress and exhaustion for one day.
Inuyasha, although wanting to run to Keishi and Kagome’s side, was stopped by the presence of the very woman who had caused his heart disarray.
“Kikyo,” he said, as if it was the most normal greeting. She looked the same as Inuyasha remembered. Just like a doll, hidden behind a mountain of makeup. In all honesty, Kikyo was too perfect. She was always perfect. Everything from her face to her body to her career. She was the type of girl all guys dreamed of having, but this time, when he looked at her, she was just another girl that walked in and out of his life.
He saw her stand from her seat, her gait always perfect as well until she was but an arm’s length from him.
“Hello Inuyasha,” she spoke, her voice just like honey. “It’s been a while.”
“What are you doing here?” Inuyasha retorted, a little unsure of how he should act in front of her.
She only snorted. “Not even a thanks? After all, I did find your precious son passed out at the airport and was kind enough to take him to the hospital. Shouldn’t you thank me?”
Inuyasha’s fist balled up at his sides. This woman, she always had a way with words that made him confused and angry at times.
“Thank you,” a feminine voice chimed up. Inuyasha cocked his head to see Kagome standing beside him, her free hand gripping the back of Inuyasha’s shirt for support. “Thank you for bringing back Keishi.” Kagome gave Kikyo a hard look, not backing down.
“Ah, so his name is Keishi huh? Stubborn boy, wouldn’t tell me his name. Just like his father I presume,” Kikyo looked from Inuyasha to Kagome. “It’s been a while too hasn’t it Kagome?”
Kagome, about to say something was stopped by Inuyasha. “Take Keishi back to the room,” he ordered Kagome. Kagome was about to argue, but Inuyasha’s demanding eyes caused her to give up.
“It was nice to see you again Kikyo,” Kagome bowed her head. “I hope we will meet in better circumstances next time.” Kagome took her leave, albeit a little worried that Inuyasha would suddenly decide that he no longer wanted her, but she swatted those thoughts out of her mind. She trusted Inuyasha, he gave her his word and so she would take it.
Inuyasha waited until the door shut behind Kagome, leaving just him and Kikyo. He knew he had hurt Kagome, but what he needed now was to end his conflict with Kikyo and this time proved to be the right time.
“It seems I’ve intruded on your family Inuyasha,” Kikyo began, still standing as she crossed her arms. “You know, when were still dating, I envied the relationship you and Kagome had. I could tell you always loved her. When we would go out together, your eyes would always follow her. You think I didn’t know?”
Inuyasha was speechless. Had he really been that obvious?
“All this time, I knew she slept with you,” Kikyo explained.
“What? You knew, this whole time? You knew she had Keishi?” Inuyasha suddenly blurted.
Kikyo combed a piece of her hair behind her hair. “I had no idea she gave birth to your son Inuyasha. However, I understand that your alcoholic consumption with her after her father’s death resulted in a one night stand.”
“I don’t appreciate you labeling “that” night as a one night stand Kikyo.” She was starting to push Inuyasha off the edge.
“Right. Forgive my choice of words.” Kikyo turned around to grab her purse off the table. “Well then, if you will excuse me, I still have many appointments before the day ends.” She was already out the door until Inuyasha reached her.
“Kikyo wait!” The said woman flipped her head back to see him. “Thank you, for bringing Keishi back. And thank you for being a great friend all these years. I’m sorry I didn’t love you the way we intended it to be. I’m sorry.”
Kikyo only smirked as she wrapped her arms around Inuyasha in a familiar way. “I’m sorry I didn’t love you either. I couldn’t give you the things you wanted. I suppose I loved the idea of you, but Kagome always seemed to love all of you. I know Kagome will make you happy” That last statement brought a young boy smile to Inuyasha’s face.
Kikyo pulled away, flashing Inuyasha the last smile she would ever give him. “I wish you the best of luck Inuyasha. You will make a great father.” Hoisting her purse onto her shoulder, Kikyo glanced over his features once more. “And please tell Kagome I’m sorry. When I see her again I will be ready to beg for her forgiveness. Good bye Inuyasha.” With that said, Kikyo stalked away, keeping her steps even like she always practiced.
Inuyasha watched from behind, the stone that’d been dragging him down dissipated in an instance. It was finally over between him and Kikyo. He was ready to begin a new chapter in his life with the two people he came to love more and more with each passing day.
Racing up the stairs, Inuyasha quickly passed the key through the door until the green light allowed him access to the room. It didn’t take him very long to spot the two sleepyheads laying on the sofa comfortably. He was quite jealous when he spotted Keishi sleeping in between Kagome’s very soft breasts. As a future reference, he would let the pup know that “those” belonged to him now.
Pulling up a chair, Inuyasha observed the two ruffling the pup’s hair then running his fingers along Kagome’s jawline. He didn’t mean to wake her with his touch, but nevertheless, she held his hand against her cheek after kissing his palm.
“How come you’re not sleeping in the room?” Inuyasha questioned, helping Kagome sit up without waking Keishi. Kagome only yawned.
“We kind of made a mess in there if you didn’t remember,” she reminded, the smallest tinge of pink grazing her cheeks.
Inuyasha chuckled. Of course he remembered. How could he forget how wildly sexy she was beneath him.
Kagome pecked him on the cheek before handing Keishi over to him. “He kept calling your name while he was sleeping. You know, he probably missed you more than I did.”
“Did he now?” Inuyasha wondered, feeling guilty. He kissed Keishi’s forehead stirring the pup unwillingly.
Keishi rubbed his eyes, yawning as he hugged Inuyasha tightly.
“Mr. Something?” the young child asked almost afraid it was just a dream that he would wake up from. Inuyasha held him high until they were nose to nose.
“I’m not Mr. Something anymore,” Inuyasha said explicitly. “I’m daddy,” he whispered. Keishi’s eye’s widened awake turning his head to his mother to confirm Inuyasha’s words. Kagome nodded assuring her baby that there was only truth in Inuyasha’s words.
Keishi turned his attention back to Inuyahsa. “You… you daddy? You really daddy?”
Inuyasha nodded, winking. Keishi bashfully smiled hugging around Inuyasha’s neck.
“Daddy,” Keishi repeated.

Chapter 11 — Tying Loose Ends
Kagome peeled the cooling pad away from Keishi’s forehead, smoothing his hair to the side. Rolling the used gel material into a wad, she pocketed it reminding herself to throw it out later. Keishi slept soundly in her arms, his head resting firmly on her bosom with a low purr. She continued massaging his ears in gentle motions to prevent him from vomiting the fourth time during the plane ride. Luckily they were seated near the lavatories in the first class section.
It was Keishi’s first time on a plane and Kagome wasn’t sure how he’d handle it, considering how long the ride was. The first thirty minutes had been fine, but shortly after, the pressure of the air and the mass stench of people had Keishi hurling. Granted his illness hadn’t subsided from the previous night, Kagome brought him along anyways. His excitement the night before was the reason why she agreed in the first place. There was no chance she’d shatter the happiness in his eyes that she hadn’t seen for the past few days.
Maneuvering her body to not wake her baby, Kagome reached for her purse lying underneath the seat. For the tenth time since she got on the plane, she searched her bag pulling out odds and ends, but she couldn’t find the very necklace Inuyasha had given her. It wasn’t possible that she lost it somewhere, but she was sure she’d put it in her bag before she left Sango’s home. With a scowl, Kagome zipped the flimsy material with all its contents before tossing it back under the seat.
She sighed, one hand feeling around her neck where the missing weight used to be. It was a wonder how such a small thing could make such a big difference in her disposition. The necklace meant more to her than any piece of jewelry she’d ever worn because it once belonged to Inuyasha’s deceased mother. Kagome was sure he’d been hesitant to give it to her or any other woman in fact because the golden jade chain remained a memento for him. Still, it didn’t relieve her that it was missing in the first place. As soon as she got off the plane, Kagome would make sure to give Sango a call. Inuyasha’s necklace was her treasure and although Inuyasha and her weren’t at good terms for the moment, she still cherished it with her life.
Throwing her head back on the seat, Kagome stared out the window only to see the clouds below her. She was beginning to feel a bit feverish, an impending headache just waiting to get her when she least expected it. Somehow the thought of being over five thousand miles away from home had her heart pounding. It was the farthest she’d ever been from Japan but she told herself it would be worth the experience.
The pilot’s voice suddenly boomed on the intercom. “Passengers, please fasten your seat belts, we will be landing shortly in New York.”
Kagome scrunched her nose as the seat belt sign above her lighted up as a reminder. Slightly, she poked her son only adding to his rebellious behavior as he burrowed deeper into her. She knew he was exhausted and cranky, but she needed to put him back in his seat.
“Keishi honey, it’s time to sit down. We’re getting off soon.” She knew he was awake, but he continued to ignore her hoping she’d allow him to stay where he was. Without warning, Kagome lifted him into his seat, his whimpers following shortly.
“Mama,” Keishi cried realizing she’d just buckled him tightly in his seat. He bawled, pulling at her arm. He didn’t want to sit by himself. He didn’t feel safe when he wasn’t in her arms. “Hold me mama,” he begged struggling to get out of his chair with no luck. Kagome only shook her head which escalated his wails.
“It’ll only be for a couple moments baby,” she tried to coo once again caressing his ears to stop his erratic behavior.
In a matter of time, he stopped crying, but the warmth of his body increased tremendously as it permeated through his skin to Kagome. Putting her palm of her hand on his forehead, Kagome bit the inside of her cheek firmly. Keishi was burning like an overgrown fire and his sudden stillness worried her.
“Keishi, you okay big boy?” Kagome gently pushed his head back to lean against her. He nodded slowly in response, gripping around her arm as if she would abandon him suddenly.
Digging into her back pocket, Kagome opened a new package of cooling pads, peeling off the plastic that contained the gel before pasting it on her son’s head. It seemed to help him as they descended down the sky at a steady pace. It was silent between the two of them as Kagome kissed the top of his head hoping the plane would land soon.
“Mama?” Keishi’s tired voice squeaked up. “When I see Mr. Something again?”
Kagome swallowed a large ball lodged in the back of her throat. She didn’t expect that question so suddenly.
“As soon as we get home baby. Promise.” And she wasn’t going to lie. When Sunday night came around, she and Keishi were going to head straight to Inuyasha’s mansion whether he welcomed them or not. Kagome was getting tired of playing the waiting game and if Inuyasha needed time to think things over, she was giving it to him.
“Good.” Keishi’s spirits seemed to lift. “I miss him,” he admitted quietly already dozing off.
Another twenty minutes quietly passed before they were allowed to escape the small enclosed space. Kagome lifted Keishi from his seat hurriedly walking out the plane before saying her thanks to the pilot and flight attendants. It was a good feeling to be standing after such a long plane ride and she bet Keishi was more relieved than she was.
They made their way with the crowd of people that exited with them towards the luggage baggage claim area. Setting Keishi on his feet, Kagome dug out from her purse a toy he had picked out before leaving Japan. She handed him the small car, letting it occupy his attention as she waited for their luggage to fall from the carrier. She sat on one of the nearby benches, watching her son play beside her as she kept an eye out for their items.
Just as soon as she relaxed the sound of clanking caught her attention as a load of suitcases came streaming down the conveyor. She spotted Keishi’s tiny ninja turtle luggage from the rest of the overstuffed cases as she dashed over to retrieve it. It wasn’t too long until her case came along, tumbling down with the other colorful ones. With one mighty reach, Kagome managed to haul the bags over the edge. Returning her awareness back to her ill son, Kagome realized he was nowhere in sight.
“Keishi?” she called out, towing both cases behind her. She looked around her wondering where he could have gone. He knew better than to go off on her own without her permission.
“Excuse me, did you happen to see a little boy about three years old with silver hair running around?” Kagome asked a middle aged woman sitting around the area where Keishi had been playing.
“Sorry ma’am, I didn’t see him,” the woman apologized looking apathetic. Kagome gave her a curt nod before looking around again. Perhaps he was still in the area just hiding underneath the seat, but with so many people around she knew he wouldn’t do such a thing. It was also quite possible that he passed out somewhere due to exhaustion. His fever was still quite high from what she could tell and if she knew her son well, he was ready to collapse.
Trying to keep calm, Kagome tugged the heavy items behind her twisting her head in every direction possible. She moved a little ways, staying in the area in case Keishi wandered back looking for her. The warm liquid forming quickly dared to spill from the back of her eyes as she tried to keep herself composed.
If she lost her son, she’d die.

Kei shi rolled his toy car around on the bench waiting for his mama to finish collecting their luggage. He paid the people no attention as he accidently pushed the toy off the edge onto the ground. In a hurry, Keishi plopped on the floor reaching for the toy until a large man’s foot kicked the small item into the walkway without realizing. The tiny hanyou frowned in disappointment as he watched his toy get kicked around by wandering feet.
That mine cah! Mr. Something give me that cah!
Angrily, Keishi rushed off into the crowd crawling on the ground until he spotted his target. He dizzily made his way through the large crowd of people until found his prize. Grasping for it quickly, Keishi stood up to look around. His surroundings changed completely. He didn’t remember seeing such a large open space. There weren’t even that many people walking around.
Trailing back to where he came from, Keishi clearly had gone the wrong way. His lips trembled as two big fat tears rolled down his eyes. Through hazy eyes, he spotted his mother walking away from him. Although he didn’t remember her wearing a dress, he chased after the back of his mother. He was sure it was her.
“MAMA!!! Mama, I here! Mama!” His voice came out coarse and dry. His fever wasn’t helping him as each step seemed to be more strenuous, but he continued to walk forward. Keishi didn’t want his mama to worry anymore. He knew how stressed she’d been since the weekend and he was only adding onto it.
Although he called out, his mother continued to ignore him causing him to wail louder.
“MAMA! Wait for Keishi!” He screamed with all the air his lungs could produce but he tripped. Tiredly looking up, Keishi could see that his mother turned around and walked back towards him. He smiled but his eyes didn’t hold out long enough to recognize that that woman was not his mother at all.

Inuyas ha stretched his neck and limbs as he tumbled out from his private jet. The long fifteen hour flight was more than he could handle. It was no wonder he rarely ever traveled to do business in America. He thanked the pilot for kindly flying him such a far way with short notice.
Pulling out one of his business cards from within his wallet, Inuyasha scribbled a separate number with the pen inside his shirt. “Make sure you call this number for compensation. I’m sure I’ve troubled you.”
The man took it kindly, bowing lowly for Inuyasha as the hanyou ran off towards the inside of the large international airport. Kagome’s plane landed about thirty minutes before his and if Sesshoumaru promised to do the favor Inuyasha asked before leaving Japan then he would be able to meet with them shortly.
As much as Inuyasha wanted to hate his brother, he hoped Sesshoumaru pulled through with the small favor. It seemed the elder brother had connections with the chief of securities at the airport they were all landing at. If all went as planned, Kagome and Keishi would be waiting for him in the security office; it was only a matter of time.
Rushing through the large mass of people, Inuyasha followed the signs annoyed by the glares he was getting. He didn’t quite give a damn as he shuffled through them trying to reach his destination.
Running down the escalators by two he tried to calm his racing heart. During the long ride to America, Inuyasha chanted a mantra to himself to remain calm. Honestly, he didn’t quite know how he would react when he saw them again. A small part of him wanted to be angry at Kagome for hiding and lying for such a long time, yet a bigger part of him wanted to forgive her because she had shown him a love that he thought never existed. Either way, Inuyasha knew he’d never let them out of his sight again.
He continued on his way looking for the sign that would lead to security, but the very smell that haunted his dreams caught his attention. He didn’t know if he’d become delusional after the long flight but his nose was quite sure. Standing about fifteen feet ahead of him was Kagome in tears. She held a small piece of paper in her hand asking random strangers for something Inuyasha couldn’t make out from all the noise. Each stride he took was bigger than the next until he was by her side, gripping her by the wrist to get her attention.
“Kagome…” his voice was barely audible as her head turned in his direction. Her eyes were bleary but she snatched her arm back when she saw him and walked away. For a few brief moments Inuyasha stood shocked. He expected her to be surprised, but he’d been the one surprised. She absolutely just ignored him. Did she not recognize him?
Getting back to his senses, Inuyasha chased after her relentlessly. He called her name, but she kept her back to him looking everywhere but him. Her ignorance annoyed him beyond his limits. She was trying his patience and if she continued he wouldn’t be held responsible for his actions.
Catching up to her, Inuyasha pinned her by the shoulders forcing her body towards him, but she glared at him, her face pale and exhausted.
“Let go of me Inuyasha,” she shouted bitterly fighting him. It only agitated him more as he pulled her to him in a tight embrace.
“No,” he responded adamantly squeezing her harder despite her pounding fists and his frustration. He just found her, he wouldn’t let go of her ever.
“Let go of me you jerk. I hate you!” She cried into his shoulder, her fists falling. “Give me back my baby Inuyasha. Give me back my boy,” she sobbed clinging on to him as if he were the last thing to hold to.
Inuyasha absorbed her words in a moment of weakness that had Kagome falling forward, fisting her hands into his wrinkled shirt. He knew she didn’t mean to say those words, but he couldn’t help but feel like he had been responsible for this situation.
“Someone took our Keishi Inuyasha,” she wept letting the tears she held dampen Inuyasha’s chest. “They took our little boy Inuyasha.”
Inuyasha struggled to keep his composure. His hold around Kagome tightened as he gave her as much comfort as he could give. He didn’t understand the circumstances of Keishi’s disappearance but he could guarantee someone was going to get a beating later. The amount of worry inside him built tremendously, but he had to be strong for Kagome. Her weakened stance in front of him was already tearing him apart. His foolish pride and actions were what led to this.
He held her like she was all that he had, but he felt her give way as she collapsed against him. Inuyasha called her name, but she passed out, her hands slipping from his shirt.
By now a crowd had gathered around them, but those strangers were nonexistent to Inuyasha. What he imagined to be a peaceful reunion with the people he loved turned out to be a disaster that Inuyasha couldn’t control. Picking Kagome’s slack body up, Inuyasha securely wrapped his arms around her speaking promises to find their son. There was no way in hell Inuyasha was going to let the kidnapper have mercy.
.

.
Kagome rolled back and forth on the flat squishy surface. Where ever she was, it was nice and comfortable, but somewhere in the back of her head, a voice was yelling for her to wake. And so she did. Sitting up abruptly, she nearly vomited from the pain that rushed through her head. A cold wet towel landed in her lap as she assumed it had been on her forehead. Squinting in the darkness, she tried to recall what had happened that landed her in this predicament.
Stepping out of the bed sheets, she tumbled towards the half opened door feeling exhaustion eat at her bones. She didn’t have the time to lay around in bed when she remembered her son was missing. The back of her eyes were already brimming with tears when she reached the door, but stopped suddenly when the gruff voice from the other room began to argue with someone on the phone.
“You fucking told me you’d find him in thirty minutes! It’s been three fucking hours!” Inuyasha cursed, Kagome watching him pace back and forth as he continued to scream through the cordless phone. It was then she realized the absolute exhaustion displayed on his face. He looked like he hadn’t slept for weeks, his hair frazzled and his once bright eyes now dull. His clothes were wrinkled and unbuttoned as if he didn’t even have the time to clean himself up.
“So you want me to wait here until you guys find him? Fuck, I could do your job better!”
She continued to watch him yell at whoever was on the other side of the phone, until he finally had had enough and hung up. He growled at the phone before clambering down on the sofa and held his head like it was going to explode. That’s when she heard the muffled sobs escape from his mouth. At first she thought she’d heard wrong, but his wails escalated with each second. It was a heart wrenching sound that made Kagome weak in the knees as a waterfall of tears dripped down her face.
She was supposed to be angry at that man for not wanting to see her and listen to what she had to say, so why did she go to him?
Quick on her feet, Kagome scrambled to the lonely sofa. She didn’t think he had noticed her presence when she sat beside him and rubbed his back, but he turned his head to meet her eyes. His expression was pained, empty, and confused. The tears that fell from his handsome features gripped at her heart, tearing through all of her emotions. This man that she had fallen in love and never seen cry in her life was shedding tears that hurt her more than he could imagine.
Kagome pulled him to her, allowing him to hide his face in the crook of her neck. He graciously took her offer, gripping her closer to him, breathing her in. Neither adults spoke, but for an unknown amount of time, they both wept silently, holding one another to seek whatever comfort they could get.
Inuyasha was the first to release her, rubbing his eyes with his forearm. He cleared his throat before taking a deep steady breath.
“Kagome,” he turned his head to face her. “Why didn’t you tell me Keishi was mine?”
Kagome expected that question, and as she had practiced many times in her brain to answer him, she never knew how difficult it was to actually speak those words out loud. With a solemn breath, she forced the sound of her voice through her shaken lips.
“I was in love with you,” she spoke, staring him directly in the eyes. He didn’t speak and looked aggravated by her answer, but he stood from his seat.
“You were in love with me?” Inuyasha asked almost in disbelief. The sadness that he displayed minutes before no longer present in his fiery eyes.
“If you were in love with me why didn’t you tell me? Did you think I wouldn’t take care of you? Did you think I was not capable of raising our son? For god sakes Kagome, I would’ve made sure nothing like this would happen to you, to us!”
Kagome swallowed his harsh words, keeping her temper down and her tears locked behind her eyes. She didn’t expect him to easily let this conversation slide. She knew how protective he could be and although it was a good characteristic of his, it could fairly easily be his worse.
“It was because I loved you Inuyasha that I couldn’t burden you with me and Keishi. You don’t understand at all. I was goi—”
“So it’s my fault now, because I don’t understand?” He cut her off. “Then make me understand Kagome. Tell me, fuck, convince me that at that time you were pregnant I didn’t have the right to know!” Inuyasha stood above her as if trying to belittle her in anyway, but she wouldn’t allow him.
Standing, Kagome gave him a fierce look. “If I told you I was pregnant with your son, would you have easily dumped Kikyo and come to me? You were dating my cousin Inuyasha. How could I make you chose between me and her. It wasn’t your decision to make. It was mine!”
“It didn’t matter if I was dating Kikyo or not. It was my job to help you raise our son dammit! Why can’t you understand Kagome?”
“Because,” she spoke, her voice cracking. Kagome could feel those unwanted tears begin to clog her eye sight. “If it made you happy to be with Kikyo, that’s all that mattered to me. Do you know how much I was ashamed of myself for liking my own cousin’s boyfriend? Could you possibly understand how much it hurt every time I watched you kiss her or hold her hand? You were never mine to begin with Inuyasha, so what makes you think that you would’ve have been capable of raising a baby with me? All of this time I—”
“Stop Kagome,” Inuyasha’s voice was stern, but she didn’t listen.
“You wanted me to make you understand didn’t you? Then try to understand. It was because Kikyo was the only one in your eyes. You never looked at me the way you looked at her. And when she was around you’d just ignored me. To you I was probably just another girl you would meet to pass the time with until Kikyo was done with her job. Then you’d toss me aside. I was a stupid love stricken girl back then. I didn’t want my son to ever feel like he was an obligation to you. And when—”
“Kagome,” Inuyasha’s voice was losing to hers.
“I never wanted Keishi to have a father who didn’t love his mother Inuyasha!” She practically yelled the last sentence, her voice loud enough to be heard from outside the hotel room. Kagome broke down, falling on her knees. She couldn’t do it anymore. The more she spoke the more she realized it was the truth and it hurt. Her tears wouldn’t stop as she bawled like a heart broken woman. Her feelings that she’d been hiding for so long were finally out.
.
.
.
̶ 0;I never wanted Keishi to have a father who didn’t love his mother Inuyasha!”
Her words were like a knife to his chest. As much as her reason for leaving him in the dark was stupid, it finally made sense. He was oblivious to her feelings in the past and perhaps he was more oblivious to his own emotions. Back then, when he was sure he’d been in love with Kikyo, somewhere in his mind, he knew Kagome had taken a bigger part of his heart. He’d denied it so many times to the point he was making excuses to hang out with Kagome when Kikyo was working. But he had been so blind to his feeling that he’d allowed Kagome to suffer so many years alone without the support that she needed.
There on the ground, she sat crying out all the pent up pain that he caused her. So when all was said and done, was it still okay for him to have her?
Bending beside her, Inuyasha yanked her into his arms. She fought him, forcing him away with all her might, but he held firm. He initiated the conversation that led to her current state and he’d be damned if he let her continue with it. She was a fragile being, more fragile than the rarest piece of jewel.
“I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!” Kagome shouted into his chest much like earlier at the airport, but Inuyasha only shrugged at her comeback.
“I know,” he responded, kissing the top of her head and tugging her closer to his body. “I’m sorry Kagome. I’m so sorry.” He kissed her forehead this time, waiting for her to give herself to him.
Inuyasha wasn’t mad at her, heck he was just frustrated about everything that had happened in the last couple of days. His lack of competency and ignorance to her feelings was what had brought forth the anger in him during their conversation. He really didn’t hold any grudge against her. She had been trying so hard to keep Keishi away from him for his sake because she honestly didn’t believe he loved her the way she wanted.
Feeling her tremoring body slowly calm, he positioned himself so their foreheads touched. Her eyes were still swollen from her tears, but he kissed each eye sweetly, licking her tears. Staring at her again, a tickling feeling from his chest brought a handsome smile to his face.
You idiot. Inuyasha smooth her hair back. I’ve loved you since you were seven. Inuyasha’s eyes, twinkled. He continued giving her a look than gave her that girlish blush he loved so much. Before she could say anything to ruin the moment, his lips were sealed against hers. It had only been four days since he last kissed her, but the richness of her taste made it feel like he hadn’t had her for an eternity.
He was gentle, each touch a promise for what was yet to come. Lifting her onto the sofa without breaking contact, Inuyasha sucked on her sweet lips igniting sounds that excited his core. He was sure of one thing, she wasn’t upset anymore. He could smell how much enjoyment she was getting from his love, and their game wouldn’t end here. Until he made sure she knew who she belonged to, he wasn’t going to stop.
Slyly, he slipped one hand between the thick fabric hiding her torso. He made sure to massage all accessible flesh from her belly up until he reached her hanging jugs. It was a blissful feeling, especially as she leaned into his touch moaning his name and not some other man’s. His blood was rushing a million miles an hour, begging him to claim what belonged to him.
Kissing her lips one last time, he reluctantly pulled apart, seeking her eyes for any hesitation. He was ready for the next step and he damned knew well that she knew what he was asking for. It didn’t take Einstein to figure out that he was ready to mate with his lovely woman. This time, he would make things right. He would claim her how he should have when they first bonded.
Waiting for her reply, she didn’t waver as he plucked her off the couch towards the bedroom. Even before he set her on the bed, she had managed to rip his shirt off lapping at his neck and suckling the soft flesh. That tongue of hers was doing wonders to him, he couldn’t wait to find out what she could do next. Straddling above her, Inuyasha’s impatience had him ripping her shirt from her body revealing her bountiful breasts teasing him from behind her bra. Besides the one time Miroku had tricked him into going to that strange lesbian strip club, Inuyasha had never seen a naked woman’s body before. And if all women looked liked Kagome, well, he wouldn’t mind at all.
He made haste, quickly attacking her newfound body. His hands quietly explored her body, kneading places that made her squirm under his touch. Her hands wrapped themselves around his neck as he placed kisses along her throat, groping one of her breasts in his hand. He teased her hardened nipple through the flimsy material before discarding the bra all together. It was a shame she had to hide such beauties, but as long as they were for him to see, it didn’t matter.
Spending some time with his new toys, Inuyasha indulged himself in the melodious noises she made with each nip and sucking motion he adorned her with. Rolling his tongue around the taut flesh, the heat from her core was readily warming as her liquid scent scorched hisnostrils. With one hand, he fumbled with the zipper of her pants, before yanking it with one go revealing her underpants. Her warm juices had already soaked the wimpy cotton as he kicked off his pants as well.
He brought his lips to her mouth again, muffling her voice. He kissed her with an amount of passion that was meant to tell her that he loved her. He would protect her and their family forever. He was making her promises now that he would never break. She would belong to him if she would have him.
Flicking the sides of her panties, he rolled them down her legs revealing her leaking core. Her scent was telling him she was almost ready, but until then, he would have some fun. Daringly, he ran his hands along the insides of her thighs, his fingers passing over her sex. His thumb casually pressed against a bundle of soft tissue that had her whining. He carefully rubbed the excited muscle, her hips lifting slightly of the bed.
Without warning, he inserted a finger through her forbidden cave. Her walls squeezed him tightly and he wondered how exactly he would get his puppy in. She was too tight for what he wanted, he worried he would hurt her.
Nipping at her neck again, Inuyasha trailed towards her ears, whispering words that were meant to relax and calm her. Sliding two fingers in, she adjusted quickly as he pulled in and out of her slowly. She bucked her hips into his fingers, and as much as he enjoyed her efforts, he’d rather she thrust herself against his more solid muscle making a stand from his boxers. He never exhibited such a hard pain from below before, he swore it would explode within minutes.
Just as she was about to get off, he stopped his pleasurable torment, not allowing her to climax at her will. Inuyasha saw the disappointment reach her eyes, and he grinned kissing her frown.
“If you will have me, I promise to keep you forever,” Inuyasha said in a rapsy voice, tickling her soft skin.
Kagome replied with an unexpected squeeze to his elongating shaft. “Well, then,” Kagome licked her lips for show, “Don’t keep me waiting.”
Her words were more than encouragement as he positioned himself at her entrance. Slowly edging his way into her, he couldn’t help the soft moans escape from his lips. This feeling was much better than using his hands any day. It was a challenge to keep from plunging right into her, but it made it all the better knowing that he had been the first and only person to gain the right to enter her.
Letting her adjust to his continuously growing shaft, Inuyasha began to move slowly inside her. Her body was quick to alter to his hardness as his pumped slowly giving her absolute pain and pleasure. He was patient with her, but it seemed like patience was not in her book. She suddenly gripped his hips as she propelled forwards at a quicker speed. She moved her hips, screaming his name and begging him to move faster. He wouldn’t deny his woman.
Gripping her buttocks, Inuyasha made sure to drive himself forward in an undulating pattern. His lips were everywhere on her skin, his nose engraining every one of the places and positions that gave her the sweetest scent. The music they were making with their bodies was the most beautiful thing he had ever heard in his life. He pumped into her forcefully as a fine sheen of sweat covered the entirety of their bodies.
Inuyasha felt the tingling of his balls ignite when her vaginal walls greedily sucked him of all his juices. For that split second, Inuyasha’s eyes glowed red as his fang nicked the skin between Kagome’s collar bone and shoulder. His tongue licked the swollen skin until it healed instantly leaving an opaque crescent. With the wave of ecstasy flowing through the both of them, Kagome didn’t even feel the mark her mate had given her as they both collapsed on the bed.
Inuyasha rolled his back, dragging Kagome onto his chest. His member remained attached inside her as he pulled out of her getting a soft groan from her.
“I swear, you did that on purpose you jerk,” Kagome inched her way towards his face, her breasts resting right below his chin.
“Did I do something wrong?” He feigned innocence, running his hands up her thighs until they rested on her buns.
Kagome shook her head, resting her ear against his beating heart. They stayed like that a while, bathing in the afterglow of their hot sweet sex. He had finally done it. This time, however, he would remember just how pleasant it was.
That’s when Inuyasha’s nose picked up on her scent. Although her scent was still sweet, there was something about it that made him go crazy with joy. His eyes suddenly focused in on the mark on her collar bone. Running a cold finger across it, he felt Kagome’s body tingle underneath. His heart beat louder, as he kissed the silvery mark.
“My mate,” he murmured into her ears.
“Hmm?” Kagome looked up at him, but he gave her a wolfish grin. Wrapping her up in the sheets cast aside, he searched for his pants, pulling out two small velvet boxes that belonged to her and only her. Flicking the small lamp on, Inuyasha crawled back onto the bed, reaching for her left hand. He kissed each of her delicate fingers before letting go and opening the tiny red box. Even before he opened it, Kagome was already in tears.
“Kagome, I’m not good at saying this, but if you marry me, I promise I will do everything I can to make you the happiest mate alive. I just need you to say yes.” It wasn’t a question, it was a statement and the smile she gave him let him know he was a winner.
She nodded, throwing her naked body against him, squeezing him so tight, he thought he dropped the ring. Loosening her hold, Inuyasha reached for her left hand, slipping the large diamond ring onto her slender finger. He kissed her finger again, before pecking her on the lips. He was so glad he had prepared that ring. While in Osaka, he had caught a glimpse of it and although he hadn’t planned on proposing to her so soon, it didn’t matter. In the end, she was his.
His eyes never left her face as she glowed more enchantingly than before. Damn, I am one lucky bastard, he thought inwardly, kissing her nose. Reaching around for the second jewelry box, Kagome was much quicker as she snatched it from his hands.
“Where did you find this?” she questioned, holding the jade necklace in her hands tightly. Inuyasha was slightly confused.
“Uh, Sango gave it to me?” He responded, not quite understanding. He thought Kagome had given it to Sango to give back to him, but Kagome’s reaction said otherwise.
“So I did leave it at Sango’s. Thank goodness.” Kagome was already refastening the chain around her neck, pressing her lips to the small jade. “I was so worried. I thought I lost it in the airport.” She hugged him again, “Thank you Inuyasha. You don’t understand what you mean to me.”
Inuyasha sighed. Miroku, Sango, you guys are dead when I get back, he reminded himself, but the view of Kagome’s naked ass was a much better distraction.
Suddenly rolling her over, Inuyasha gave her a wink. Not even for a moment did he allow her to speak as he continued round two of what they had started. However the annoying ring of the hotel phone jingled, breaking the sensual atmosphere.
Inuyasha cursed as he tore his lips apart from Kagome’s. Flipping the sheets aside, he grabbed the receiver, putting it to his ears.
“What the hell do you want?” Inuyasha’s harsh words left his mouth. Kagome gently punched him for it, reminding him not to speak so rudely. He ignored her for the moment, wanting nothing more than to jump her especially the way she laid so openly.
“Excuse me Mr. Takahashi, but there is a woman down here who claims to have your son. We have verified your son’s identity and the woman is being held down by the lobby. How should we proceed sir?”
Inuyasha was frozen, his body tense. Had they really found Keishi?
Inuyasha shook himself from his reverie. “Make sure she doesn’t leave until I see her. And keep the boy in sight. I will be down there shortly,” Inuyasha demanded. Hanging up the phone, Inuyasha quickly shucked his discarded boxers on as well as the rest of his clothes.
“Inuyasha, what’s happening?” Kagome asked, watching her new mate frantically redress. He quickly went to his unopened luggage, pulling out a pair of boxers, a t-shirt and his sweat pants.
“Hurry, put this on,” Inuyasha pulled his large t-shirt over her body before handing her the rest of the clothes he had pulled out. “Security says they have Keishi downstairs. Let’s go.”
The both of them rushed into clothes, not caring if it was on backwards or not as they fled down the stairs hand in hand. It took only a few minutes until they made it to the lobby, a security team centered on an area where onlookers were already crowding the area.
Inuyasha shoved his way through the people, getting more pissed as the random spectators shoved his Kagome to the side like an object. Those people had no right to get in their way as he growled.
“Move the hell away!” Inuyasha snarled, as everyone cowered back. The head of security recognized Inuyasha’s voice as he commanded his workers to clear the room of unnecessary bodies.
“Sir and madam,” the stout man who was in charge of Keishi’s case bowed. “This way please.” Leading them to another room, Kagome released Inuyasha’s hand when she saw her boy sitting on the sofa crying beyond words.
“Keishi!” Kagome scooped him up, kissing him everywhere, wiping his snot and tears.
Keishi hugged her fiercly, letting his tears fall onto her should. “Ma-ma,” he cried, holding her like she’d leave him suddenly, but she rocked him back and forth rubbing one of his ears.
“Shhh…Mama’s right here. It’s okay now. I’m right here.” Kagome hummed him a lullaby that always lulled him to sleep. Especially in this situation, she was sure Keishi had experienced enough stress and exhaustion for one day.
Inuyasha, although wanting to run to Keishi and Kagome’s side, was stopped by the presence of the very woman who had caused his heart disarray.
“Kikyo,” he said, as if it was the most normal greeting. She looked the same as Inuyasha remembered. Just like a doll, hidden behind a mountain of makeup. In all honesty, Kikyo was too perfect. She was always perfect. Everything from her face to her body to her career. She was the type of girl all guys dreamed of having, but this time, when he looked at her, she was just another girl that walked in and out of his life.
He saw her stand from her seat, her gait always perfect as well until she was but an arm’s length from him.
“Hello Inuyasha,” she spoke, her voice just like honey. “It’s been a while.”
“What are you doing here?” Inuyasha retorted, a little unsure of how he should act in front of her.
She only snorted. “Not even a thanks? After all, I did find your precious son passed out at the airport and was kind enough to take him to the hospital. Shouldn’t you thank me?”
Inuyasha’s fist balled up at his sides. This woman, she always had a way with words that made him confused and angry at times.
“Thank you,” a feminine voice chimed up. Inuyasha cocked his head to see Kagome standing beside him, her free hand gripping the back of Inuyasha’s shirt for support. “Thank you for bringing back Keishi.” Kagome gave Kikyo a hard look, not backing down.
“Ah, so his name is Keishi huh? Stubborn boy, wouldn’t tell me his name. Just like his father I presume,” Kikyo looked from Inuyasha to Kagome. “It’s been a while too hasn’t it Kagome?”
Kagome, about to say something was stopped by Inuyasha. “Take Keishi back to the room,” he ordered Kagome. Kagome was about to argue, but Inuyasha’s demanding eyes caused her to give up.
“It was nice to see you again Kikyo,” Kagome bowed her head. “I hope we will meet in better circumstances next time.” Kagome took her leave, albeit a little worried that Inuyasha would suddenly decide that he no longer wanted her, but she swatted those thoughts out of her mind. She trusted Inuyasha, he gave her his word and so she would take it.
Inuyasha waited until the door shut behind Kagome, leaving just him and Kikyo. He knew he had hurt Kagome, but what he needed now was to end his conflict with Kikyo and this time proved to be the right time.
“It seems I’ve intruded on your family Inuyasha,” Kikyo began, still standing as she crossed her arms. “You know, when were still dating, I envied the relationship you and Kagome had. I could tell you always loved her. When we would go out together, your eyes would always follow her. You think I didn’t know?”
Inuyasha was speechless. Had he really been that obvious?
“All this time, I knew she slept with you,” Kikyo explained.
“What? You knew, this whole time? You knew she had Keishi?” Inuyasha suddenly blurted.
Kikyo combed a piece of her hair behind her hair. “I had no idea she gave birth to your son Inuyasha. However, I understand that your alcoholic consumption with her after her father’s death resulted in a one night stand.”
“I don’t appreciate you labeling “that” night as a one night stand Kikyo.” She was starting to push Inuyasha off the edge.
“Right. Forgive my choice of words.” Kikyo turned around to grab her purse off the table. “Well then, if you will excuse me, I still have many appointments before the day ends.” She was already out the door until Inuyasha reached her.
“Kikyo wait!” The said woman flipped her head back to see him. “Thank you, for bringing Keishi back. And thank you for being a great friend all these years. I’m sorry I didn’t love you the way we intended it to be. I’m sorry.”
Kikyo only smirked as she wrapped her arms around Inuyasha in a familiar way. “I’m sorry I didn’t love you either. I couldn’t give you the things you wanted. I suppose I loved the idea of you, but Kagome always seemed to love all of you. I know Kagome will make you happy” That last statement brought a young boy smile to Inuyasha’s face.
Kikyo pulled away, flashing Inuyasha the last smile she would ever give him. “I wish you the best of luck Inuyasha. You will make a great father.” Hoisting her purse onto her shoulder, Kikyo glanced over his features once more. “And please tell Kagome I’m sorry. When I see her again I will be ready to beg for her forgiveness. Good bye Inuyasha.” With that said, Kikyo stalked away, keeping her steps even like she always practiced.
Inuyasha watched from behind, the stone that’d been dragging him down dissipated in an instance. It was finally over between him and Kikyo. He was ready to begin a new chapter in his life with the two people he came to love more and more with each passing day.
Racing up the stairs, Inuyasha quickly passed the key through the door until the green light allowed him access to the room. It didn’t take him very long to spot the two sleepyheads laying on the sofa comfortably. He was quite jealous when he spotted Keishi sleeping in between Kagome’s very soft breasts. As a future reference, he would let the pup know that “those” belonged to him now.
Pulling up a chair, Inuyasha observed the two ruffling the pup’s hair then running his fingers along Kagome’s jawline. He didn’t mean to wake her with his touch, but nevertheless, she held his hand against her cheek after kissing his palm.
“How come you’re not sleeping in the room?” Inuyasha questioned, helping Kagome sit up without waking Keishi. Kagome only yawned.
“We kind of made a mess in there if you didn’t remember,” she reminded, the smallest tinge of pink grazing her cheeks.
Inuyasha chuckled. Of course he remembered. How could he forget how wildly sexy she was beneath him.
Kagome pecked him on the cheek before handing Keishi over to him. “He kept calling your name while he was sleeping. You know, he probably missed you more than I did.”
“Did he now?” Inuyasha wondered, feeling guilty. He kissed Keishi’s forehead stirring the pup unwillingly.
Keishi rubbed his eyes, yawning as he hugged Inuyasha tightly.
“Mr. Something?” the young child asked almost afraid it was just a dream that he would wake up from. Inuyasha held him high until they were nose to nose.
“I’m not Mr. Something anymore,” Inuyasha said explicitly. “I’m daddy,” he whispered. Keishi’s eye’s widened awake turning his head to his mother to confirm Inuyasha’s words. Kagome nodded assuring her baby that there was only truth in Inuyasha’s words.
Keishi turned his attention back to Inuyahsa. “You… you daddy? You really daddy?”
Inuyasha nodded, winking. Keishi bashfully smiled hugging around Inuyasha’s neck.
“Daddy,” Keishi repeated.
