InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ I'm On The Outside ❯ Tender Moments Ruined ( Chapter 19 )

AN: Hey guys, here's another chapter; I got a burst of inspiration today, so I'm hoping to post at least one more chapter today. Thank you so much for all the wonderful reviews on the last chapter. AimzyJ said it best “Sometimes lemons can ruin a fanfic, it really is a make or break situation depending on how the author handles it.” That's something that I totally agree with, which is why I take my time when it comes to writing lemons.

 

Sangokirara711: That has to be the biggest compliment anyone has ever given my writing, especially since I ADORE Sueric's work. I never dreamed of being compared to her…thank you so much. Because of that I'm dedicating this chapter to you, just because it totally made my day to read that comment.

 

As always, please Read and Review.

 

I still don't own Inuyasha.

Kagome woke up to the feeling of unwelcome pressure on her lower belly. She had to pee desperately and she had a feeling that moving Inuyasha off of her was going to be a challenge. She laid still and thought of her choices for a few moments. She had managed to come up with absolutely nothing helpful, especially since she had never had to think of a way to get out of a situation like this before.

 

“Inuyasha,” She said softly, shaking him. “Inuyasha, I need you to move.”

 

Inuyasha moaned in his sleep and snuggled closer to her, pressing against her already hurting bladder. Each time she tried to squirm away, his grip only tightened. She tried everything she could think of, kissing his neck, playing with his ears, whispering to him, but nothing worked.

 

“Alright, as hott as it would be for an 18 year old to wet the bed, get up!” She said, bringing a hand up to her mouth. She quickly stuck her index finger and thumb into her mouth and blew.

 

Inuyasha's ears slammed back at the sudden shrill of her whistle. If she hadn't had to pee so badly she would have laughed at the way he shot to the other end of his bed. With a cry of joy, and ignoring the fact that she was stark naked, Kagome leapt from the bed and ran for the bathroom. If she could have she would have moaned in the pleasure of finally being able to empty her bladder. She briefly wondered if it was a bad sign that she could physically feel her bladder deflating.

 

She was about to leave the bathroom when she opted to having a shower. Her skin felt sticky from the dried film of sweat, and while the memories of the reason for that sheen made her feel tingly, the feeling of being sticky did nothing for her.

 

She turned the dials of the shower, letting the water heat up before she stepped in. Kagome laughed to herself as she realized that a few hours earlier this had been the cause of their “study break”. She had caught Inuyasha entering the room out of the corner of her eye; it was that action that had caused her to see if Miroku and Sango were right.

 

With a sigh she stuck her head under the water, she knew she didn't need to wash it, but the feeling of the hot water cascading over her body just felt too damn good. She sighed and let her head fall against the cool tile, her hands reaching up to rest on either side of it.

 

“Damn.” She heard behind her before she found herself pressed against the wall, Inuyasha's lips on the fresh mark on her neck.

 

“What are you doing here?” She asked, slightly amused.

 

“I heard the shower running and decided that I'd conserve water by having one with you.” Inuyasha mumbled against her skin.

 

Kagome giggled when she heard him blow out a puff of air, signalling that he had gotten a mouthful of her hair. “You want to tell me something?” Kagome said, turning in his arms, ignoring the fact that he looked extremely good with water dripping down his body.

 

“What?”

 

“Why do demons mark their mates?” Kagome said. “It just seems a little cliché and pointless in this day and age.”

 

Inuyasha's left eyebrow twitched in amusement. “Are you telling me that marking is over used?”

 

“I dunno, I guess it just seems a little strange to me, especially for a dog.” Kagome teased. “My aunt breeds dogs and I've never seen them bite each other!”

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “I'm a dog-demon!” He growled. “Demon's are magical and mystical, that's why we mark our mates.”

 

“Couldn't you have marked me without biting me?” Kagome asked, pulling her head back when he tried to kiss her to shut her up. “I mean, Kouga did that, Sesshomaru bit me to get rid of the marks, isn't there some other way to do it? And what was that wet stuff that dripped onto my neck?”

 

“First of all, do you really half to mention Kouga and my brother while I'm standing here naked with you? You really know how to ruin the mood.” Kagome stuck out her tongue at him. Inuyasha ducked his head and sucked her tongue into his mouth. They kissed lazily for a few minutes before he pulled away from her.

 

“As for the biting, it's really because it's done in the heat of the moment. There are plenty of ways to mark, especially since mixing of blood is what creates the bond.”

 

“Mixing of blood?” Kagome asked.

 

“Well yeah.” Inuyasha said. “That's what I dripped onto your neck. I had to mix my blood with yours and draw a kanji into your skin with our mixed blood.”

 

Kagome's left eyebrow rose. “Wait, you said it will look like a tattoo right?” Inuyasha nodded. “You better not have written `Inuyasha's bitch' on my skin.”

 

Inuyasha stared at her in shock for several minutes before bursting into laughter. “Oh my God! If I could have, I so should have.”

 

Kagome sighed and moved the shower curtain to step out of the shower before reaching down and turning the cold on full blast. She smiled as the sound of his shriek met her ears. She wrapped a towel around herself and made her way to his room, digging for some clothes.

 

“That wasn't very nice you know.” He said, leaning against the door frame.

 

“Inuyasha use a towel!” Kagome muttered when she noticed that he was sans towel.

 

Inuyasha smirked and strolled over to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and once more buried his face in her neck. “You know you like it.”

 

Kagome fought the moan that was rising in her throat. “So what did you write on me anyway?”

 

“I wrote `mate'.” He explained. “It's the only thing that we're allowed to write. It then morphs into the crest of the family.”

 

Kagome turned and looked at his chest. The silvery scar was already starting to turn black. “So that's your family crest?” She asked, tracing her fingers over the mark.

 

“Nope, that's yours. My family crest is on your skin. Once I wrote the kanji on you, I had to write it above my heart. It morphed into your family crest. That way other demons know which family we mated into.”

 

“So it's kind of like human women changing their last name.” Kagome said.

 

“Yeah.” Inuyasha told her, turning her to face him. “Now do you have anymore questions, because you in that towel is really starting to give me some creative ideas.”

 

Kagome giggled and allowed Inuyasha to pull her to him. She soon found herself leaning over his arm and the combination of his pull and her lean made them both gasp. Inuyasha's hand moved to pull the towel away from Kagome when the sound of someone clearing their throat behind them interrupted them.

 

Kagome and Inuyasha's heads turned in unison, their mouths still pressed together. “I could have sworn I locked the front door.” He muttered against Kagome's mouth.

 

Sesshomaru smirked and twirled his keys around on his finger. “You did, but you obviously forgot that your brother has a spare key.”

 

Kagome pressed her finger against her lips to hold in her giggles. “Yeah well my mind was otherwise engaged.” Inuyasha said, Kagome still draped over his arm.

 

“Obviously your mind isn't the only thing that is otherwise engaged. What if I had been Kohana?” Sesshomaru said.

 

“Then I'd be dying a very slow and painful death.” Inuyasha admitted. “Now, if you don't mind!”

 

Sesshomaru walked into the room and flopped down on his brother's bed. “Oh by all means.”

 

Kagome laughed at Inuyasha's growl, but didn't like the smirk that crossed his face. “Hey Sess, guess where you're lying.”

 

Kagome felt her face burst into a bright blush as realization dawned on Sesshomaru's face. “Ugh!” He said, throwing himself from the rumpled bed. “Dude, give me some warning next time!”

 

Inuyasha laughed as Kagome, currently doing her best impression of a tomato, pulled herself away from Inuyasha and made a mad dash for the bathroom. Inuyasha watched her close the door, a satisfied smile on his face. He turned back to Sesshomaru, who was watching him with a raised eyebrow.

 

“What?” Inuyasha asked.

 

“For one, would you mind putting some pants on or something. It was bad enough I had to bathe you.” Sesshomaru said.

 

Inuyasha turned red as he pulled on a pair of sweat pants, throwing a few curses over at his brother. “Now, tell me.”

 

“I was just thinking that I've never seen you look so happy.” Sesshomaru said.

 

“Jealous?” Inuyasha smirked.

 

“Ha!” Sesshomaru burst out. “This Sesshomaru does not get jealous.”

 

“This Sesshomaru?” A feminine voice said. Color flooded Sesshomaru's face as he glanced over at Kagome. “Is that some weird Youkai way of speaking in third person?”

 

“Shut up Kagome!” Sesshomaru muttered.

 

“Come on Sess, tell me some more demon characteristics, this Kagome commands it.”

 

Sesshomaru let out a growl before storming out of the room, his brother's laughter following him out the door.

Kagome walked into the kitchen of her own house the next morning, her clothes folded over one arm. “How was studying last night?” Akina asked looking up from the pot she was stirring.

 

“It was fine.” Kagome told her, tossing her clothes on a chair. She caught her mother studying them and quickly decided that she needed a cover story. “We took a break and went on a walk. We got caught in the rain.”

 

“So why didn't you just wash your clothes at Inuyasha's house?” Akina asked.

 

“I did, but I was comfy in these clothes and decided to stay in them. Need any help?” Kagome said, diverting any more questions.

 

“Yeah, would you mind peeling those carrots for me?” Akina asked. “Souta's school is having a Pot-Luck tonight, why don't you invite your friends over? That way you can do some more studying.”

 

Kagome almost started blushing at that statement, but quickly sat down at the table, looking at the large pile of carrots to be peeled. Kagome had peeled a good twenty carrots when the phone rang. Akina answered it before handing it over to Kagome.

 

“Hello?” Kagome said, as she cradled the phone awkwardly on her shoulder.

 

“Hey!” Sango said.

 

“Hey yourself, what's up?”

 

“I need your help,” Whatever else Sango said was lost to Kagome as the phone slipped away.

 

With a sigh Kagome set down the carrot she was peeling and picked the phone back up. “Hang on Sango; I gotta tie my hair up.”

 

Kagome reached across the table and quickly grabbed a pen from the basket in the middle. She quickly wrapped her hair up into a messy bun and stuck the pen through it to hold it up.

 

“Okay, sorry, I dropped the phone, what did you need?” She asked, resuming her peeling.

 

“I said, it's me and Miroku's two year anniversary tonight, and he wants to take me somewhere fancy. Can you meet me at the mall in a couple of hours and help me find something?” Sango pleaded.

 

“Why not just wear your grad dress?” Kagome teased.

 

“That's too fancy, come one Kagome, I need your help.”

 

Kagome laughed and nodded, even though her friend couldn't see her. “Yeah, alright. I'll pick you up at two.” If I ever get through these carrots.

 

She felt Akina take the phone from her and heard the beep of the phone disconnecting. She turned to thank her mother when she noticed that she was being stared at strangely.

 

“Mom, what's wrong?” Kagome asked, turning in her seat completely.

 

“What's that on your neck?”

 

Kagome's eyes widened and her hand shot up to cover the back of her neck. She could feel the raised skin of her mark and silently cursed her stupidity. “Um, it's a scratch?”

 

Akina's eyes lowered into an amused glare. “Funny; that `scratch' looks just like the mate mark that Kohana has on her shoulder.” Akina took a step closer to her daughter, pulling the chair out so she could step behind Kagome. “Exactly like it.”

 

Akina watched in amusement as a blush swiftly flew up Kagome's neck, making the black scar stand out even more. “Mom, I can explain.”

 

“No offence kiddo, but I really don't want to know.” Akina said, sitting down beside her. “I'm not dumb, I know what that mark means, and I know it's not a protection mark.”

 

“There's a difference?” Kagome asked.

 

“Yep, protection marks only appear when the bearer is threatened. Mate marks are always visible.”

 

“Stupid fucker could have told me that.” Kagome muttered.

 

“Language!” Akina hissed.

 

“So you're not mad at me?” Kagome asked.

 

“No, I knew it would happen eventually, I'm a little disappointed in you that you didn't wait.” Akina muttered. “What happens when you go to college and move on with your life? A mating isn't an easy bond to break.”

 

Kagome sighed and buried her face in her hands. “How do you know so much about this?”

 

“Oh please, Kohana and I have been discussing this since you and Inuyasha were nine years old.”

 

Kagome's head raised enough so that she could peer over her fingertips. “I feel like I'm in an arranged marriage.”

 

Akina laughed and stood up. “You need to finish those carrots if you're going to pick Sango up on time.”

 

Kagome sighed and resumed her work, but paused after several minutes. “Mom, how do you think Kohana will take this?”

 

Akina giggled, “Inuyasha's going to be six feet under.”
