Kagome gasped and nearly fell out of the tree she and Inu yasha were sleeping in. "I sense it!"

Inu yasha shook his head to quickly remove the sleep hazing his thoughts. "Sense what?"

"A shikon shard!" Kagome looked around quickly. "It's coming from the.. south I think!"

Inu yasha held Kagome tightly and jumped back to the ground. "Can you tell how far away it is?" He placed her on the ground gently. "Can you tell how many?"

"Umm.." Kagome stared to the south of the small camp for a long moment. "It doesn't appear to be that far away but it's headed this way anyway. As for number.. I'm gonna have to get closer."

Inu yasha sighed in a kind of relief. "Well at least we know that power still works."

Kagome nodded in agreement. "Let's get everyone up fast!"

@>~~~^~~~~

Inu yasha held tetsuaigai firmly in front of him. "Kagome! Stay behind me!"

The young woman nodded as she backed away bumping into someone. She turned around quickly, "Houjou! You need to get back!!"

The boy just stood there in shock as he stared up at the large badger youkai before them. "I've.. never seen anything.." He looked to Kagome with wide scared eyes, "What do we do?!"

Kagome grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the cover of the forest. "Run baka!" They hid behind some rather large shrubs and Kagome cringed at the sudden sound of metal on flesh. She popped her head over to see how the battle was going.

Inu yasha had attacked the large youkai and managed to cut a deep gash along the badger's side. It gave a loud high-pitched scream as Sango's hairikotsu bashed into it's hind-end.

Suddenly there was a blinding light coming from the shikon shard on its chest. Kagome tried to block the light with her hand but it was no use. The light grew brighter until she could no longer see even the closest figure.

The last thing she could remember was calling for Inu yasha in a panic then everything stopped.

@>~~~^~~~~

Kagome's eyes blinked open but she quickly closed them again when the sun's overly bright rays caught her off guard. She covered her face with her hand and slowly opened her eyes again. "Where.. am I?"

Kagome felt something on her waist and she looked down to find Houjou's arm draped over her and the boy passed out face down beside her. Her eyes went wide and she jumped backwards and away, scooting back until she was press against the base of a near by tree. She shuddered and looked around quickly for the safety of her loving hanyou mate.

There was no one else there.

Kagome swallowed hard as she looked back at Houjou who was being to stir. He let out a soft moan as he slowly repeated her waking movements. "Oh gods.." He sat up slowly. "Where am I?" It didn't take him long to notice Kagome hiding against the base of a tree and he frowned. "What's going on?"

Kagome swallowed the large lump that had wedged its self in her throat and pulled her legs against her chest in an effort to hide herself from him. "Umm. I dunno. I woke up and.." She paused for a moment, trying to hide the anger in her voice. "Um.. we were alone. I have no idea where we are either."

Houjou stood and made a quick survey of the area. "Well there doesn't seem to be anyone else around.. What do you suppose happened to them?" Houjou reached a hand out to Kagome to help her up.

Kagome stared at the hand for a long moment before ignoring it and pulling herself to her feet. "I don't know but.." Kagome ignored the frown on Houjou's face as she looked up at the now late after noon sun. "But I think it may have had something to do with that shikon shard. If I know Inu yasha he'll be heading for the nearest village by now."

"That's great so.. how do we find it?"

Kagome turned and looked at the tree, still to her back. She nodded and after spitting on her hands and rubbing them together she began to climb up the tree. "I'll just have to get a better view of the land!"

Houjou looked at Kagome in shock. "Kagome! Get down before you hurt yourself!" He grabbed her ankle and gave it a little yank.

Kagome kicked the boy away. "Don't touch me!" she cried. Houjou just looked at her with sad eyes as she looked at him from her stopping point half way up the tree's trunk. Her eyes betrayed her anger with him easily. "Don't touch me Houjou. I'll be right back." With that she finished her assent of the large evergreen.

It was probably about 5 or 10 minutes before Kagome reappeared from the branches of the tree. She dusted off her hands and Houjou looked at her in anticipation. "Well," she said after she was done. "I think I see smoke raising just off to the west.. If we start walking now I think we can make it just after night fall."

Houjou nodded and started after Kagome as she began the journey towards their new destination. "Do you think Inu yasha will really be able to find us?"

Kagome frown. "I wouldn't doubt him.." 'It's you I'm afraid of...'

@>~~~^~~~~

Yuki's eyes blinked open to the sight of a pair of large golden-amber eyes staring into hers. She screamed and jumped back. "What the HELL?!"

"Keh! About fucking time woman!" Inu yasha turned his back to her and bent down. "Get on and let's go find Kagome!"

Yuki looked at him like he was crazy. "You can't be serious?! There is NO WAY I'm getting anywhere *NEAR* you!"

Inu yasha growled. "Look Yufu or Lulu or what ever you name is!! Let's get one thing straight!" Inu yasha turned and poked a finger into Yuki's chest, "I don't like you and you don't like me and that's totally fine by me! But Kagome likes you for some unknown reason so I can't just leave you out here! But-" Inu yasha poked her again to emphasis his point. "Kagome is my mate so she always comes first! If you don't want to come with me that's fine but I'm not gonna wait around for you either!"

Inu yasha turned and sniffed the air. "Her scent is getting fainter by the minute so I suggest you decide quickly."

Yuki looked at Inu yasha in shock. Would he really leave her?! In a place she had totally no idea how to navigate or get help if anything happened? 'Well..' she thought. 'He is a youkai after all.' Yuki frowned. "Fine! But if you make one move at me, and I mean *ONE* I swear I'll kill you!"

Inu yasha huffed and lowed back down so she could get on his back. "Not if I kill myself first.." he mumbled.

Yuki hopped easily onto his back, "What did you say?!"

Inu yasha held her in place with one hand as they took off into the trees, "Nothing!"

@>~~~^~~~~

Kagome and Houjou traveled well into the afternoon. They had walked quite a distance and as she watched the sun begin it's decent into the mountains Kagome began to wonder if her calculations had been off. "We should be seeing something of civilization here pretty soon I thought..?"

Houjou nodded. "What are we going to do once we get there? Do we have money for a room or anything?"

Kagome hadn't thought of that. She shrugged reaching into her pant's pocket and pulling out the contents. "I might have enough money for some food but.. usually we just camp outside. Most hotels don't except youkai if they can help it. If we find Inu yasha waiting for us he may have some extra money."

Houjou nodded and an awkward silence fell between the two. After a long moment Houjou let out a loud sigh. "Higurashi.." He took her arm as he came to a stop but she quickly pulled it away, turning to face him.

Her eyes were cold and unforgiving. "What?"

Houjou cringed but he knew deserved it. "I.. I just wanted to apologize. I don't know what I was thinking..."

Kagome crossed her arms and stared at the boy as if waiting.

He sighed again and continued, "It's just that.. well.. you're mine and here you were with this.. umm hanyou guy. I just felt like I needed to make a claim." he lowered his head in shame. "I'm sorry."

Kagome was fuming. "Now you listen to me-"

She stopped, turning her head to a loud rustle just off in the bushes.

Houjou blink, "Kagome? What are you-"

Kagome covered his mouth quickly and pulled him down to hide behind a tree with her. "Shh!" she whispered. "It could be a youkai and without Inu yasha or at least my bow we are just a bit defenseless!"

Houjou nodded as Kagome pulled her hand away. "Right.. so what do we do?"

"We wait.. and we pray."

@>~~~^~~~~

Yuki blushed. She could feel the muscle's of Inu yasha's back and sides tense and relax under her as they made their way quickly through the dense branches of the forest trees. In his haori it was very hard to tell just how powerful he really was but now that she was so intimately close it was easy to see why Kagome found him so attractive. His hair came up to bush against her face and she was taken back by just how soft it really was. Even his hands, which she had never really paid attention to before this, seemed different as they held her in place on his back. They seemed gentler and almost human in her opinion.

Yuki turned to look into the forest, trying to ignore the feeling bubbling up in her stomach.

Suddenly Inu yasha stopped and began to sniff the air.

"What is it?" Yuki asked, trying to hide the disappointment in her voice as he put her down.

Inu yasha's eyes lit up and a smirk spread across his lips. Crouching down he took position then suddenly...

@>~~~^~~~

Kagome let out a scream as she was pushed back by a rather large body mass landing on her, pushing her down to the ground.

"Kagome!" Houjou cried as he watched the girl fly by in a blur of silver and red.

As she finally came to a stop with the mass pinning her to the ground she looked up, ready to fight. Inu yasha stared back down at her with playful eyes and a wide smirk. "Hey mate.." he growled. "Miss me?"

Kagome laughed and threw her arms around his neck. "Inu yasha!" She smacked his shoulder, "Don't scare me like that!" Inu yasha just chuckled.

Yuki stepped out of the bush and walked towards a very shocked Houjou. "Hey Houjou-kun!"

The boy shook his head. "Um, hey Yuki.. How'd you guys find us?"

Inu yasha released the hold his teeth had on Kagome's neck causing her to whimper. He stood and pulled her to her feet. "You're joking right? If Kagome's within scent range I can find her no problem." He pulled her into his arms and nuzzled the side of her neck lovingly, bringing a bright red blush to Kagome's cheeks. "I would know your scent anywhere..."

Yuki rolled her eyes. "Get over it all ready! Now that we've found them what are we gonna do?"

Inu yasha growled in annoyance. He moved to stand behind Kagome but kept his arms around her waist. "We find shelter for the night, that’s what."

"But without our packs what are we gonna do when it starts to get cold tonight?" Yuki asked folding her arms. "I dunno about youkai, but Kagome, Houjou and I will freeze to death."

"Well at least you and Houjou will.." Inu yasha mumbled.

Yuki frowned, "What was that?!"

"If you two are done," Kagome interpreted. "I saw a smoke and what might be a village not to much farther from here. I think we should head that way."

Inu yasha nodded. "That would probably be best."

Yuki and Houjou watched with a kind of confused expression as Inu yasha leaned down and whispered something in Kagome's ear. Her eyes got wide and she turned to face him. "That's tonight?" she seemed to be counting something out on her fingers then looked back up at Inu yasha, "We'd better hurry then! Before it gets dark!"Inu yasha frowned but nodded. In a quick movement he had Kagome gathered in his arms and was off in the direction of the village.

Yuki and Houjou stood there for a moment, blinking in surprise. Suddenly Yuki shook her head to clear it. "Hey!" she yelled, running after the pair. "Wait for us!!"

@>~~~^~~~~

They were just outside the village. They could see the inn and tavern not more then a five-minute walk down the road but for some reason they were stopped, and waiting.

Yuki looked to Houjou then back to where Kagome and Inu yasha had disappeared into a small thicket of trees just before dark. They couldn't see the pair but every so often they could hear whispering. Just in the last few minutes had it begun to escalate.

"No! I'm not coming out and that's final!"

They heard Kagome sigh. "Osuwari." There was a loud crash then another and another. Finally after about 4 or 5 of these terrifying sounds Kagome reappeared in front of Yuki and Houjou shaking her head.

"I need you guys to give me a hand..." She motioned for them to follow. Yuki and Houjou looked at each other, clearly confused, before following after their friend.Yuki and Houjou gasped when they spotted the unconscious figure on the ground.

"Kagome, who is this?" Yuki asked, bending down to move some of the young man's black hair away from his face. "I thought you were back here with Inu yasha?!"

Kagome sighed. "Look I'll explain everything later but right now I need you to help me get him to the inn before he wakes up." Kagome took a hold of Inu yasha just under the shoulders. "Houjou if you get his legs?"

Houjou only nodded and went to his task quickly.

"Yuki, reach in my pocket and pull out my money pouch." Yuki did as instructed. Kagome smiled, "Good now take out 2 gold pieces. That should be enough for a room and no question. Now..." Kagome adjusted the large weight in her arms, "Let's get inside before he wakes up!"

@>~~~^~~~~

Inu yasha's head was splitting. That's the only explanation he could come up with for this amount of pain. Kagome had sat him once too often and now he's head was splitting open. His eyes snapped open at the thought of Kagome and he instantly regretted the hasty movement, letting out a loud growl. "ow!"

Kagome looked over at Inu yasha from her seat just against the wall by her mate's head. "Hey.. glad to see you awake."

Inu yasha did his best to glare at Kagome without opening his eyes. This attempt only made her giggle. He gave a huff and rolled away from her, facing the opposite wall.

Kagome frown. "Oh come on Inu yasha don't be mad.." She moved up and sat just behind him but he moved away again. She sighed. "I didn't mean to sit you till you passed out.. just till you stopped being a ass!"

Inu yasha growled as he pushed his hated black hair away from his face. "Well you did a damn good job of it anyway! And I suppose we're at the inn like I wanted *not* to be."

Kagome sighed. "Inu yasha.. no one around here knows who you are! We are in an area we haven't traveled to before remember?? We'll leave before dawn and that way they'll never get the chance to see you change back, so don't worry so much, ok?" Inu yasha huffed and she knew he was still mad at her. She reached out and gently placed a hand on his shoulder.

This time he didn't move away.

Kagome moved so she was laying with her front pressed against his back and rested her chin on his shoulder. There was a long pause before either of them spoke. "Do they others know now?"

Kagome nodded. "I explained it but I didn't tell them why tonight was *particularly* special. They know that you do but not exactly when or how often."

Inu yasha nodded. "Good."

Another long silence filled the room. "Are you all right?" Kagome felt Inu yasha jump as her hand began tracing the curves of his neck. "I didn't hurt you did I?"

"Keh." Inu yasha turned to lay on his back. He pulled Kagome up so she laid out on his chest, tucked gently under his chin. "Just a bit of a head ache.. It'll go away soon enough."

Kagome just smiled and gently parted his haori to about the middle of his chest. Her fingers tips drew light trails over his exposed skin and Kagome smirked in triumph as Inu yasha's body shuddered beneath her. "That's good.." Her voice was soft and breathy against his now human ear and Inu yasha felt himself shudder again.

His hand slid under her shirt and rubbed the smooth flesh of her back. "Kagome.. what do you think you're doing?" He smirked.

Kagome propped herself up on her elbows as she lay on Inu yasha's chest. She leaned down until her lips were pressed just against his ear. "Apologizing... and finding out if..." Her tongue flickered gently across the inner edge of his ear and his body stiffened. "If.. your ears are as sensitive now as they are when you're part youkai."

Kagome began an overwhelming assault on Inu yasha's ears, nibbling and licking his earlobes. Her tongue traced the curves and ridges of his ear, around the outer edges and down to the base where the ear meets the neck. Her teeth lightly scrapped over his skin as she began to nip a small trail over his neck.

Inu yasha felt his body respond instantly to her gentle touches. His hands slide up and down her back, pressing her body tightly against him. He felt her breath across his ear as she let out a gasp. "Inu yasha.." He felt her smile into his neck. "I do believe you're enjoying my little 'apology'."

Inu yasha gave a human growled. His voice came in deep husky whispers against her ear, "What about the others?"

Kagome giggled. "Now they might be a problem.. if I hadn't gotten two rooms." Inu yasha felt his haori pushed open and shivered slightly as the cold air of the night touched his over heated flesh. "I figured I'd have a lot of apologizing to do..."

Inu yasha growled as he nipped her shoulder with his dull human teeth. "Oh so much apologizing.."

###

Kagome slid down Inu yasha's body slightly and giggled as she heard Inu yasha let out a whimper. It was a short-lived protest as she began her trail of wet kisses to her next target. His hands reached out and tangled gently in her hair, his hips pressing involuntarily against her chest. The tie on his pants was easily undone and she slid the last of his clothing off as he pulled away his haori.

Kagome smiled lightly as she brought her lips down to gently kiss the tip of his hard and waiting member. While most of his body changed during this part of the month, this had not.(( ^.~ ))

Inu yasha let out a groan as he felt her lips slide over and down his length until he was fully submerged in the deep recesses of her mouth. "Kagome.." He stiffened as he felt her move again, humming as she did and causing tiny vibrations to course through his sensitive organ. He might have wondered where she was picking up these small tricks had his mind been coherent.

Inu yasha felt Kagome's teeth lightly brush the length of his penis and his hips bucked.

"Kagome!" he moaned between gasps for air.

Kagome shuddered as he called her name. She smiled and pulled away from Inu yasha's throbbing organ to slide back up his body. She kissed his lips softly, "Am I forgiven my mate?"

Her reply came in the form of a crushing, passionate kiss and as their lips danced Inu yasha began removing Kagome's clothing, throwing them to the far corners of the room.

Kagome laughed as she heard the growl deep in Inu yasha's throat. His dark plum eyes stared into her deep chocolate ones and his fingers gently caressed her cheek. "I need you *now*."

Inu yasha pushed them into a sitting position as he tossed away the last of Kagome's "unnecessary" garments. Pushing Kagome gently off of him and getting onto his knees, he maneuvered Kagome onto all fours in front of him.

Inu yasha leaned over and pressed his chest against her back as the hand that was not supporting him came up to cup her breast. His black hair fell over her shoulder and mixed with hers making it all appear as one length. "Kagome," he whispered softly. "do you want me to..?"

Kagome nodded quickly. "Please love."

Inu yasha bit down on Kagome's shoulder as he guided himself to her opening and push himself into her warm wet canal. He heard her gasp and it sent shivers up his spine.

His pace started slow and steady but as the heat began to rise in the pit of his stomach and Kagome's cries became more intense his pace quickened. "Deeper!" she cried and he answered. "Please! Faster!" she begged between gasps for air and his body answered her. His hand reached around and his fingers easily located the tiny nub of nerves between her legs. He felt her gasp and her inner muscles tighten as he began to massage the useful little bundle.

She called his name as the feeling in her stomach grew larger. Her head moving, uncontrolled, with each of Inu yasha's powerful thrust and her hands gripped the blankets tightly. It was true what they all said... Make up sex was best.

###

There was a knock on the door and Kagome felt Inu yasha freeze and heard the loud groan he couldn't hold back.

Kagome tried to slide away and see who was at the door but Inu yasha easily pulled her back, thrusting hard and deep. She buried her face in the blankets to muffle the cry he had forced out of her before looking back at him. He just smirked and she shook her head.

The person knocked again, "Higurashi?"

Inu yasha growled in both annoyance and frustration as he tried to hold still. Kagome looked at him and smiled apologetically. This time she did manage to slide away and she picked up Inu yasha's red haori to cover herself as she moved towards the door. She looked back and made sure Inu yasha was laying in bed and well covered before opening the door and peaking around the edge.

"Houjou!" Kagome let out a frustrated sigh. "What can I do for you?"

"Umm.. I thought I heard you yelling and I wanted to make sure you were ok?"

Kagome sighed. "Yes I'm fine. Now just go back and get some sleep. We'll be leaving really *REALLY* early tomorrow."

Houjou nodded. "Are you going to sleep too?" He pointed to Kagome's obvious change in clothing.

Kagome looked down and blushed. "Umm.. probably not. Inu yasha doesn't sleep on nights like this so I figure I'll stay up and umm.. Keep him.." she cleared her throat. "Company."

"Oh.." Houjou sighed. "It must be hard.. You know, to stay awake all night."

"Um, not really."

Suddenly Houjou's eyes lit up and he smiled. "Hey I've got a great idea! Why don't Yuki and I come keep you guys company for a while?? It'll be great!"

Kagome's jaw dropped. "Umm.. No you guys shouldn't do that!" She had to think quickly. "You need to get so rest so you can travel tomorrow!"

"It's ok! If you can do it we can at least stay up a little longer and keep you guys company." Houjou started down the hall of the inn back toward the room he and Yuki were sharing. "I'll get Yuki and be right back!"

He was gone before she could stop him.

Kagome turned and leaned against the door as it slid shut with the soft click of wood on wood. She looked to Inu yasha who laid in the bed, wide eyes and jaw touching the floor. "He's.. he's not serious is he?!"

Kagome sighed and tossed Inu yasha back his haori. "Get dressed.. it's gonna be a loooooong night.."

@>~~~^~~~~

They had stayed all night.

Inu yasha growled in frustration as he laid back in the branches of a large tree, Kagome resting comfortably in his lap. Not only did Houjou and Yuki come and "hang out" in their room but they had ended up sleeping there too!

Inu yasha sighed as he slid one hand behind his head.

After Yuki and Houjou had fallen asleep he and Kagome had tried to sneak away to the other room but as soon as the door opened Houjou's eyes had snapped open again and the whole thing started over. And because no one had gotten any sleep, Inu yasha had been forced to stop several more times then he wanted to so everyone could nap.

Between lack of sleep, sexual frustration and just plan old annoying Houjou, Inu yasha was really started to get edgy.

"You really should take a nap."

Inu yasha looked down at the petite woman nestled in his arms. She looked up at him with one open eye and smiled at him sweetly. Inu yasha leaned his head back and his eyes closed.

"Keh! I don't need a nap wench.. I *need* to get going so we can find the others!"

Kagome frowned and sat up carefully. "It would certainly help you mood Mr. grouchy."

Inu yasha looked at her confused, "Mr. gro-what?"

Kagome sighed. "Look just get some rest Inu yasha. You're the only one of us who hasn't slept yet and you probably need it more then we do." Kagome batted her eye lashes and smiled oh-so-sweetly at him, "Please?"

Inu yasha growled, "No.. And don't make that face again. It's scary."

Kagome pouted. "You're so mean."

"But you love me any way."

Kagome smiled. "If you love me you'll take a nap?"

"I do love you.. but no nap."

"Come on! You really could use one!"

"It's not up for debate."

Kagome growled and folded her arms.

Inu yasha chuckled. "Anyone tell you you're starting to act like me?"

Kagome blushed but laughed. "Keh! whatever!"

Inu yasha pouted. "Hey I don't sound like that."

"Sure you do!" Kagome folded her arms and sat indian style and putting on her best disgruntled Inu yasha face. "Keh! Wench!" She tried hard not to giggle.

Inu yasha's pout became a frown and he folded his arms into his sleeves. "Is this any way to treat your mate?"

Kagome laughed and cuddled back against Inu yasha's chest. "Oh I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings!"

"Keh!" he turned his head and looked out over the tops of smaller trees below. "You didn't hurt my feelings! Anyway, if you're awake we should get a move on while we still can."

"Not till you take a nap."

Inu yasha growled and, gathering Kagome in his arms, he made the easy leap to the ground. "I'm not taking a nap damn it!"

Kagome shrugged. "Fine but you'll be regretting it by this evening."

"That's fine by me." Inu yasha leaned down and shook Yuki, "Get up! It's time to go."

Kagome shook Houjou laughing, "Yeah come on. Up! Up! Up! Mr. Grouchy commands it!"

"Kagome!!"

@>~~~^~~~~

** Little side note here... Back when Inu yasha leaps on Kagome in the forest I have him bite her neck. I do this for 2 reasons:
1) As the male dog in the mated pair he subcouciously wants to remind her who is the dominate one in the pair.
and 2) She smelled of Houjou ^^ He bit her to not only remind himself and her that they were mated but the other males in the area.
Just thought you might want an explanation on that one so you didn't think he was just being a Hentai ^^;;
Ja!
