InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ I'm On The Outside ❯ Lines Crossed ( Chapter 18 )

AN: Okay, just a note…I would LOVE to update more often, believe me, but unfortunately I'm trying to save up for tuition for my next semester and for my vacation in November, so I'm working a lot at both my jobs. I'm writing when I have the time to fit it in. Don't worry, I'm not mad at you guys for requesting more frequent updates because I hate going this long without updating. As for my chapter lengths, when I type them up I try to go from 6-10 pages and my shorter chapters are simply meant for fillers, which isn't very often. And to the jerk who wrote me and said “you sign on to MM everyday, so update your story” (that's putting it nicely) my friend uses my account to read and review Dragon Ball Z and Fruits Basket stories.

 

“I'm On The Outside” will sadly be coming to an end soon, but I'm already planning a sequel to it. “I'm Looking In” will be posted after this story is finished and it will be focusing on Inuyasha and Kagome's adult life.

 

Lemon warning for this chapter, I haven't written a clean version yet, but I will and I'll provide a URL for it.

Inuyasha stared at Kagome while she studied. “Okay, name the most prominent events of the second dynasty.”

 

Her voice snapped him out of his day dream. “Sorry, what did you say?”

 

Kagome threw her pencil at him in frustration. This had to be the twelfth question that she had repeated for him. “What's the matter with you tonight?”

 

“Nothing,” He muttered. “Except the setting.”

 

They were alone in his house, in his bedroom to be more specific. They were sitting on opposite sides of his bed, studying for finals. But that wasn't the only thing that had Inuyasha distracted. Kagome was wearing a pair of shorts that accented her long pale legs. She was also wearing what had to be the tightest shirt that he had ever seen her wear.

 

“What did you say?” She demanded.

 

“Uh, I said that I'm getting hungry.” Inuyasha said quickly. “How about we take a break?”

 

Kagome shrugged. “Sure, why not.”

 

They left his room and walked down to the kitchen. Inuyasha opened the fridge and examined the contents while Kagome sat at the counter. She watched Inuyasha slip into his own little world again and reached for the sink that she was sitting beside. Watching him carefully she slowly removed the hose attached to the sink. His ears didn't even twitch in her direction, indicating that he had been so lost in thought he hadn't heard her. She pressed the button down gently before turning the water on full blast.

 

Inuyasha screamed as cold water hit the back of his head. He turned to glare at Kagome, only to be blasted in the face. Before she could squirt him again, he ran around the counter and grabbed the wrist that held the hose. Soon the battle was on, Inuyasha having the obvious strength advantage.

 

Kagome's free hand reached up and rubbed his left ear, making him freeze in place. She smirked as a small moan escaped his throat. The smirk disappeared just as quickly as he inhaled sharply.

 

“Inuyasha?” She whispered, making him look up.

 

He didn't say anything to her as his lips started to descend on hers. A part of Kagome's brain told her not to kiss him that at this point it could ruin their friendship. Another part of her was reminding her that she had already kissed him and that things had been awkward for awhile. The final part of her was screaming over the other two, telling her to go for it. He stopped millimetres from her lips and Kagome was suddenly doused with cold water.

 

She didn't know which pissed her off more, being soaked or being tricked. She stared at Inuyasha, who was currently doubled over laughing at her.

 

“Oh yeah, laugh it up dog boy.” Kagome hissed.

 

Kagome spun on her heel and stormed out of the kitchen. “Oh come on Kagome, it was funny!” Inuyasha said as he followed her. “Besides you did it to me first.”

 

She slammed the front door closed as she left, not thinking about the fact that she had left everything in his house. She finally realized it when she tried to get into her locked car.

 

“Fuck!” She shouted, slamming her fist down on the roof.

 

She pressed her back against her car and slid down the side, sitting on the warm pavement. She brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. She knew that she was over reacting, he was right, she had done it first.

 

“Only I didn't pretend to kiss him to get the upper hand.” She muttered.

 

Kagome found herself wondering yet again when her feelings had not only crossed the line between love of a friendly nature and true love, but it also erased that line completely. She had talked to Sango and Miroku about out, only to be told that it was: “About time she had pulled her head out of her ass”, as Miroku had so delicately put it.

 

When she asked them what they thought she should do, they told her to make a move. Unfortunately even with the reassurances that Inuyasha would be all over it, her fear of being rejected and losing her best friend was too much for her to bear.

 

Kagome rested her chin on her knees and sighed, wondering if her pride was bruised too badly to go back inside to get her car keys. She jumped slightly when a fat rain drop landed on her nose, followed quickly by a steady downpour.

 

“Perfect.” She muttered to herself. “I can't get into my car, Inuyasha will just bruise my fragile ego even more if I go back in there, and now I'm going to drown in his driveway.”

 

“So that's what you were planning on doing.” Inuyasha's voice sounded through the distant rumble of thunder.

 

Kagome looked up at him, his silver hair was plastered to his face and his ears were laying flat against his skull. She fought her giggles when they would twitch from time to time as rain drops would land directly on them.

 

“Did you at least come out here to let me into my car?” She asked him.

 

“No, I came out here to keep you from freezing to death.” Inuyasha told her. “Now are you going to come in willingly, or do I have to drag you?”

 

“No, I'll come. My pride is in enough pain as it is.” Kagome said, taking his outstretched hand.

 

They walked back into his house. Kagome shivered as the cool air inside caressed her skin. She didn't realize how cold she was until then.

 

“Why don't you go take a hot shower and get warmed up.” Inuyasha suggested to her.

 

Kagome nodded, rubbing her hands up and down her arms, seeking some kind of heat. She kicked off her shoes and climbed the stairs to the bathroom. Inuyasha followed behind her, needing to dry off himself.

 

He grabbed a towel from the bathroom before leaving Kagome to her shower. He changed his clothes and began rummaging through a drawer that contained some of Kagome's clothes and other essentials.

 

After years of lugging clothes back and forth to each others houses and often spending the night on a whim without any clothes or other essentials, Kagome suggested just leaving a few spares at each others houses.

 

After digging through, even finding some clothing that made him blush slightly, Inuyasha couldn't find anything that would keep Kagome warm. He pulled out a pair of his sweat pants and a baggy t-shirt and laid them on his bed.

 

He turned his ears towards the bathroom and could still hear water running. He gathered his soaked clothing and slowly pushed the door to the bathroom open. He almost dropped his clothes when he saw Kagome through the now see-through shower curtain. He quickly snatched up her soaked clothes and all but ran from the room.

 

“How the hell did I forget about the shower curtain?” He pondered as he made his way down to the laundry room. He threw the clothes into the washing machine and watched the water level rise. “Great, now I'm going to have dirty thoughts about her all night.”

 

He walked back up to his room, trying to banish the thoughts that his eighteen year old brain was starting to come up with. Sure over the years he had more than noticed how gorgeous she had become, he was an eighteen year-old male and he was part dog Youkai. It had taken every bit of self restraint not to kiss her in the kitchen. After all, both Sango and Miroku told him just to go for it.

 

He couldn't hear the water running, but his bedroom door was open. He assumed that Kagome had grabbed the clothes he had left out for her, before returning to the bathroom to change. He entered his room, lost in thought, only to stop dead at the sight before him.

 

Kagome had her back to him. The jogging pants he had left out were sitting low on her hips and her torso was bare. Inuyasha could make out the curve of her breasts as she ran the towel over her skin to absorb the extra moisture. A few droplets escaped her hair and rolled down her bare back. Inuyasha decided that for once he'd listen to Miroku and Sango.

 

~ * ~

 

Kagome didn't know why she was taking the time to wipe off the water droplets. Logically her problem would have been solved if she just wrapped up her soaking hair. Then again, she had also made sure to leave the bedroom door open in case Inuyasha walked by, so she wasn't high on the intelligence scale at the moment. She knew that she was tempting fate and risking a lot, but she had to find out if Miroku and Sango were right.

 

She didn't hear Inuyasha sneak up behind her, and she jumped when she felt moist heat against her skin as he licked a water trail on her back away. She fought a gasp and decided to play coy with him. After all, she knew better than anyone what he had always wanted from his girlfriends. Grasping the t-shirt tightly to her chest she slowly turned to face him.

 

“Inuyasha?” She asked, hoping she sounded shy.

 

Inuyasha stared at her in awe. He knew everything he needed to know from the changes in her scent, and briefly wondered why he hadn't been able to smell her presence in the room before he entered. He blamed that on the fact that he had been trying to push some creative thoughts of Kagome out of his head at the time.

 

“Don't.” He whispered to her, catching onto her game.

 

Her scent grew more powerful and he wanted to wrap himself in it. Kagome dropped the act as he pulled her to him. It was just like before down in the kitchen, only this time they both knew that he wasn't trying to gain any advantage.

 

His lips closed over hers and he had to fight back a whine at the velvety softness of them. Every memory of kissing Kagome in the past came flooding back to him and what started as a chaste kiss became more dangerous and passionate. Kagome's tongue ran confidently along his bottom lip and Inuyasha was more than happy to fulfill her silent request.

 

They both groaned when their tongues met and Inuyasha pulled Kagome tighter to him. They kissed feverishly for several long moments before Kagome broke the kiss. Inuyasha pressed his forehead against hers as they both struggled to regain their breath.

 

“God, I've wanted to do that for so long.” He whispered to her. “Ever since that night at the club, this is all I've wanted from you.”

 

Kagome grinned at him and linked her fingers through his. “Then why stop there?”

 

Inuyasha pulled away slightly to look down at her. “Do you mean what I think you mean?”

 

Kagome sighed and ran her hand through his silky locks. “Inuyasha, over the past few months I realized that I can't be just your friend anymore.” She told him. “Do you want to know why I refuse Kouga?”

 

“Because he's an idiot?”

 

Kagome giggled and shook her head. “Because we're meant to be together, we just never wanted to admit it.” She told him. “We're meant to spend our lives together.”

 

Inuyasha nodded, “What are you asking of me, Kagome?” He asked, tucking her still wet hair behind her ears. “This is forever for me, so I won't do anything unless you ask me flat out.”

 

Kagome smiled at him confidently. “Inuyasha I want you to take me as your mate. To mark not only my body, but my soul, so no other man may have me or my heart.”

 

Inuyasha smiled brightly. “I take you as my mate. My heart, soul and body are yours, just as yours are mine.”

 

He pressed his lips back against hers in a passionate kiss that made Kagome's toes curl. He reached between them and pulled the t-shirt away from her body. Kagome blushed under his constant stare before deciding to make things even.

 

She grasped his shirt and pulled it up his body. Some where along the way, the shirt twisted, trapping Inuyasha's head inside. She giggled as they struggled to free him of the fabric, helping to relieve some of her anxiety.

 

When Inuyasha finally managed to free himself, he pulled Kagome back to him. They both groaned as their flesh met, unrestricted from the barrier of clothing. In the past only the bare flesh of their stomachs met when they held each other like this, since Kagome was always wearing something over her breasts. Inuyasha dragged Kagome's lips back to his and pulled her so tightly against him that she swore he was trying to pull her inside.

 

He pulled away from her mouth and rained kisses across her jaw as he moved towards her ear. He flicked his tongue against the sensitive lobe, making Kagome moan and arch against him. He gently closed his teeth over it, using one of his fangs to gently nibble on it. He almost bit her ear off when her fingers brushed lightly against his own ears. The sensation sent shockwaves of pleasure through his whole body.

 

Kagome smirked at him and rolled his soft ears between her fingers. “So this is why you like your ears to be played with.”

 

Inuyasha's eyes were closed and he was breathing fast. “No,” He muttered, “You and my mom are the only people that I let touch them. Although after this I think it would be wrong if mom grabbed them.”

 

“You like it that much?” He thrust his hips, causing his groin to press against Kagome's hip. She could feel exactly how turned on he was, and the knowledge that she had done that to him aroused her even more. “Well that answers my question.”

 

Inuyasha growled low in his throat and started walking forward, guiding Kagome back. “Enough talk.”

 

Kagome's legs hit the mattress and she let him guide her onto it. He ran his hands up and down her sides, lightly caressing her skin. Kagome's bottom lip was between her teeth as she allowed the sensations to wash over her.

 

“Where do you want me to mark you?” He asked her softly.

 

“Anywhere,” She whispered to him, barely able to for a coherent thought. “Hell, everywhere.”

 

Inuyasha grinned and kissed her passionately. He felt her hands on the waist of his pants and let her fingers tickly the sensitive skin there. Kagome pushed the pants he was wearing off his hips before he stood up and let them fall to his feet. Her breath caught as he stood before her in all his glory, completely unashamed of his obvious arousal.

 

He reached under her and pulled the jogging pants she was wearing off her body. He stepped out of the pants that were pooled around his feet, tossing Kagome's over his shoulder. He reached down and grasped her hands in his, pulling her into a sitting position. He climbed onto the bed, moving around behind her.

 

Kagome watched him out of the corner of her eye as he lay down slightly. She groaned when he pressed his lips to the small of her back. Inuyasha took his time kissing, biting and licking a trail up her spine to the place where his mark would rest. He pushed her long hair aside as he worked his way up. When he reached the base of her neck, he growled slightly at the memory of the bruised flesh from Kouga.

 

“What's wrong?” Kagome asked when she heard him growl.

 

“When Kouga tried to mark you, did he hurt you at all?”

 

“Well yeah, you saw how dark the bruise was. I thought that maybe the pain was part of the deal.” Kagome admitted softly.

 

“It's not supposed to hurt at all if you do it right.” Inuyasha told her. “Well maybe a little. I asked my mom and she said that she barely felt it.”

 

Kagome was about to tell him that she didn't want to be thinking of his mother while in this position when his hands cupped her breasts. She groaned as his teeth scraped against her skin and cried out softly when one of his canines pierced her skin.

 

He was right, it hadn't really hurt, the feeling had caught her off guard more than anything. She could feel something warm drip down on the back of her neck before she felt his claw drawing some sort of pattern on her skin. When he was done, he crawled around to the front of her and kissed her tenderly as he guided her head to the pillows.

 

She noticed a small cut that was rapidly healing on his left pectoral, above his heart. She could already see a silver scar forming in the shape of a kanji that she couldn't read.

 

“When it heals it will look like a tattoo.” He whispered against her lips.

 

Kagome's stomach muscles jumped when Inuyasha's fingers brushed against it. “Are you nervous?” She whispered to him.

 

“No,” He told her, even though she could hear the slight tremble in his voice. “Who better to experience this with then my best friend and the woman I love.”

 

Before Kagome could respond to him she felt his hand slip between her legs. She arched against his hand as his fingers massaged and explored her. She had never experienced anything like what he was doing to her body. His tongue flicked against her ear before his mouth ventured downward.

 

He took his time, using both his hand and mouth to map out her body, committing every whimper, sigh, gasp and moan to memory. She called out when his mouth replaced his hand in her nether region and she briefly wondered how he had gotten so good at this.

 

Her hand lowered to his head and she massaged his ears as he flicked his tongue against her time and time again. She felt a tingle rush through her body as a warmth pooled in her belly. She moaned as his tongue dove into her body, thoroughly tasting her. She called out his name as she rode through the waves of pleasure.

 

Inuyasha's ears twitched as she whispered his name over and over. He moved up her body, placing feathery kisses on her flesh.

 

“How are you?” He whispered to her petting her hair as he settled his weight between her thighs.

 

She stared at him in shock, surprised that he expected her to have a coherent thought after that. “Inuyasha, if you never do that again, I'll have grandpa exorcise you.”

 

Inuyasha grinned and leaned down to flick his tongue over her nipple. “Hmm, and what else do I have to do to make sure that the old man doesn't exorcise me?”

 

She swatted the top of his head playfully as his mouth and hand continued to massage her breasts. “I hardly want to be thinking of my grandfather at a time like…” Her words were cut off by a hiss of pain as Inuyasha entered her body.

 

Inuyasha brushed at the stray tears and stared down at her in concern. He had hoped that by talking with her it would keep her relaxed enough for her body to accept him. For the most part it had worked like a charm until he had gotten to the damn barrier in her body. He silently cursed the female form for creating something that stupid. She rolled her hips, but whimpered when it still hurt her.

 

“It's alright, we have all night, don't rush it.” He whispered to her, kissing her softly.

 

Kagome nodded and closed her eyes. The pain started to fade and she realized how good it felt to be connected to him in this way. She rolled her hips again, making Inuyasha moan as his eyes rolled back slightly. She wrapped her legs around his thighs, urging him to do what he had been patiently waiting for.

 

Inuyasha moved slowly at first, kidding Kagome tenderly. He waited until she gave him signals that it was okay to move faster. Soon her nails were raking marks down his back as they moaned each others names. Inuyasha reached down and pulled her legs up around his waist, allowing him to go deeper into her body.

 

It wasn't long before she was clamped down on him as her second orgasm ripped through her body. Inuyasha quickly dug his claws into the mattress to avoid hurting her as he moaned out her name.

 

They rode through the after shocks of erotic bliss as Inuyasha collapsed on her, utterly spent. He nuzzled his head under her chin as she wrapped her arms around him.

 

They stayed like that for several minutes as the caught their breath. Inuyasha slowly pushed his torso up, his arms under her shoulders, his rosary hanging in front of her face. Kagome's arms fell off his shoulders and fell to the side. As he stared down at her he couldn't help but grin at the sight of her flushed faces and sweat slicked skin. It pleased him to know that he was the reason her body looked the way it did.

 

“So?” He asked, his grin getting bigger by the second.

 

Kagome reached under her head and freed her hair, making it fan around her head. “Great now I have to stroke your ego?” She teased.

 

Inuyasha chuckled and leaned down to kiss her gently. “Is that what you're going to call it from now on?”

 

“You perv!” She exclaimed, wincing as Inuyasha pulled himself from her body.

 

“Are you alright?” He asked her, suddenly concerned that he had hurt her more than he meant to.

 

“Am I alright?” Kagome asked. “Inuyasha I have one word for you: daaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg.”

 

Inuyasha laughed and laid his head down on her chest. “Good, I'm glad.”

 

Kagome smiled and ran her hands through his hair, deciding that for once she'd let Miroku and Sango have the satisfaction of knowing that they were right.
