@>~~~^~~~~
A bright flash of lighting illuminated the small bedroom revealing two lovers stretched out beneath a thick quilt. Their cloths, long ago forgotten, lay scattered around the room. The crack of thunder followed shortly after, causing the young woman to jump slightly. Her lover chuckled.
"Scared?"
She pouted, "Iie. It was just loud." Her fingertips slid gently over his back, which was to her, barely feeling the soft skin as they moved. "I thought you were asleep?"
He shrugged. "I was but with you awake it’s hard to stay that way."
She smiled lightly, her hand continuing over one shoulder and down his arm. "I'm too excited to sleep."
The hanyou sighed and pulled his long silver hair over one shoulder to give his mate better access to his flesh. "Keh." he said, turning onto his stomach.
The woman giggled, both surprised and delighted that her gentle caresses pleased her lover. Her fingertips fluttered down his side and over his hip before drawing tight round circles over one side of his buttock.
His body shuddered deeply, urging her to continue.
"Aren't you excited?" she asked, "Seeing the pup for the first time and all?"
A soft smile tugged at the corner of his lips and his eyes fluttered shut as he relaxed. "Hai.. I am. But.." He turned to his mate, though secretly disappointed to have interrupted her ministrations, and took her into his arms. He pulled her tightly to his chest, nuzzling her cheek with his own. "I also know that if we don't get any sleep, we won't get up to make that appointment..."
"Mou.." his mate pouted.
He chuckled. Placing a soft kiss on her forehead, he laid her back down on the bed and pulled the covers over them both. He laid down next to her and allowed her to snuggled in against his side.
"Oyasumi koishii." he whispered.
She smiled, as her eyes finally fluttered shut, the gentle rain and now soft distant thunder eased her into relaxation. "Oyasumi," she yawn, "untenshi.."
@>~~~^~~~~
Kagome hummed happily as she finished up the last bit of her makeover routine.
After that morning's visit to the doctor and the good news that the pup was fine and health, save for the odd formation of its ear canals which Kagome and Inu yasha had nervously laughed off, it had been decided that she and her mate deserved a night on the town.
Kagome chose a lovely restaurant and a detour was made to the mall.
An old 30s style pinstripe suit, complete with hat and chain, was purchase for the hanyou for just this occasion.
For some reason, her hanyou mate had been obsessed with the old suit ever since their first shopping trip, though for what ever the reason Kagome had not disagreed.
That suit made him look like a god.
Kagome, too, had purchased a new dress for the outing, opting for a more modern look. It was a light silver, strapless gown that stopped at her knees but fish tailed in the back and stopped just above the floor. The underside of the dress sparkled with flecks of gold, creating a lovely backdrop for her tan and silky smooth legs perched atop matching heels.
Though the dress and suit were separated in style by a few decades, one complemented the other beautifully. Just as they did each other.
Kagome pressed her lips together firmly, making sure the light pink of her lip gloss spread out evenly and double check that the chopstick she had placed in her hair was holding firm before nodding in approval.
She turned and exited the bathroom, returning to her own room to collect her mate.
She opened the door, slowly and as quietly as she could. She stood, peeking through the doorway at her hanyou mate as he paced the room.
"What's taking the woman so long?" he muttered under his breath. "We're going to be late."
She stifled a giggle, opting instead to study the man before her a bit longer. He'd been like this for the last week while they were in the Sengoku Jidai.
On edge and ready for everything.
It made her beam with pride to know he cared so but at the same time she wanted to beat the hell out of him for breathing down her neck every second of the day.
Endearing and Enraging. Two words that fit her hanyou to a 'T'.
Finally deciding she had let her poor Inu yasha stew long enough, she cleared her throat and announced her presence to the room. His head snapped up, looking towards the noise and she smiled at him.
"Ready to go koishii?"
"Keh!" he grunted, brushing past her and grabbing her hand to pull her along. "About damn time woman!"
She rolled her eyes, "Well *excuse me* for wanting to take a bath!"
"Damn stupid women and their damn stupid baths..." he mumbled.
Kagome abruptly stopped, pulling her hand free of his gasp. A bit peeved at being delayed yet again, Inu yasha turned to her with a growl. "What now?!"
"OSUWARI!"
"GAK!" he cried as he was involuntarily forced to the floor.
"What were you saying?" Kagome growled as she crouched down in front of her mate.
Inu yasha mumbled something inaudible into the carpet, bring a light smirk to Kagome's lips. "That's what I thought.." She stood and dusted off her skirt. "When ever you're ready Inu yasha," she turned and walked down the stairs. "I'll be waiting downstairs!"
He buried his face in the carpet, his mind reeling with all the ways to avenge his current indignity and waiting impatiently to join his mate.
@>~~~^~~~~
Kagome sighed happily as Inu yasha escorted her into the elegant restaurant.
Her eyes fluttered over the lavish velvet curtains hanging from ceiling to floor, parting at the middle to reveal beautiful stain glass windows. The dark, rich colors of the room, illuminated by gentle glow of candlelight, gave the restaurant a warm, romantic feeling. A small wooden podium stood just before the door where a cocky looking waiter greeted the pair.
"May I," he sneered, "Help you?"
Inu yasha cleared his throat to avoid growling at the man. Kagome had warned him to be on his best behavior and he had no desire to meet the pavement. Besides, this was a celebration for the two and he wanted her every whim for the evening to be fofulled.
Whether he liked it or not.
"Hai." he said, forcing himself to be pleasant. "We have a table for Higurashi?" It came out more placid then pleasant but at least he hadn't yelled, he thought silently.
The waiter eyed the pair skeptically before looking over his book. A look of distain crossed his features before he nodded his head. "Ah yes. Here you are. Table for two?"
Inu yasha nodded.
With a sigh, the waiter retrieved two menus and motioned for the couple to follow him. He led them to a small table at the rear of the restaurant and placed the menus on the table.
"Someone will be with you shortly." he said before quickly disappearing back to the front of the restaurant.
Kagome let out a small growl. "That man was so rude."
Inu yasha nodded, trying hard not to chuckle, and pulled out a chair for his mate. "Don't let him bother you koi."
Kagome blushed as she noticed the hanyou waiting patiently for her. She took the offered seat and allowed Inu yasha to easily slide her in against the table. "Arigato."
He smiled and took his seat across from her. "No problem."
Kagome reached out and retrieved her menu from the table and began to flip through it, Inu yasha quickly following her example. After a few long and excruciating moments of trying to read the odd foreign words, the hanyou gave in and turned with an annoyed huff to his mate.
"What the hell is this shit?"
She glared at his over her menu before answering. "Its food."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Hai," she giggled, her anger melting away at her mates confused expression. "Pretty sure."
With a defeated sigh, the hanyou returned his attention to his menu. "If you're sure..."
Kagome couldn't help but cast glances over her menu at the beautiful man across from her. She felt bad, knowing how out of place he must have felt in her time. 'It must make him feel so stupid..' she thought. 'I know it would make me feel pretty uneasy at least...'
"Inu yasha?" she asked softly.
"Hum?" he replied his attention not moving from the strange words on his menu.
Her hand reached out and gently took hold of his, pulling his full attention towards her. "Are you sure you're ok with being here?"
He let out a soft 'keh', his hand lightly squeezing hers. "I'm all right."
Kagome smiled sweetly at her mate, "You're doing this for me aren't you?"
"And who else would I do it for?" he scoffed. "The houshin?"
Kagome giggled. Just then a man approached the table. He was dressed in a similar manner to the host who had escorted them to their table so the pair assumed he was to be their waiter. He even had the same discussed look on his face.
Must have been part of the uniform...
"Have you made your selections?" he asked.
Inu yasha looked at Kagome, questioning her silently on the proper way to proceed.
The young woman smirked as she caught his question to her. She whispered softly so that only he could here, "Let's get out of here."
The hanyou smile beamed as he turned his attention back to the snotty waiter who waited impatiently for the pair to order.
"Yes we have." Inu yasha said standing. "We've chosen to leave."
The waiter looked at the pair in absolute horror as woman moved to join her companion and move towards the door. "No-No one has ever walked out of here like this!" he nearly yelled.
"Keh!" Inu yasha called over his shoulder. "Sorry but we have taste!"
@>~~~^~~~~
Kagome sighed, content and full, as she placed her napkin back on the table. 'Not the evening I expected...' Her eyes moved from her plate to glance at the man across from her and watched a happy smile tug at the corner of his lips as he played in the left over syrup on his plate.
She giggled, 'But I couldn't be happier.'
With another sigh she slid out of her booth seat and stretched. "I'll be right back."
"Where are you going?" the hanyou asked, his eyes never leaving the syrup he was so fascinated with.
Kagome laughed lightly. She leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. "Just to the ladies room. I'll be right back."
He nodded and she made her exit to the back of the Denny's.
Inu yasha continued to amuse himself with the odd sticky substance that now covered his plate. "It's so stick.." he thought out loud, picking his fork up off the plate and allowing the syrup to drip down to the plate.
"It's called syrup." a female voice answered, pulling Inu yasha's attention from his newest discovery.
Yuki smiled down at the well-dressed hanyou, "But I would have thought Kagome would have told you that."
Grumbling, he returned his attention to the plate. "Go away Yuki."
"Mou," she pouted, taking the seat Kagome had just vacated. "Is that any way to talk to some one as close as us?"
He blinked, tilting his head up to give her a puzzled stare. "Come again?"
"Don't tell me you've already forgotten about our time together in the forest?" she frowned, "When we went searching for Houjou and Kagome."
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
Yuki stood again and moved over to sit next to Inu yasha, "You don't remember the way you were holding me?" She scooted closer to the hanyou and he scooted back until he ran out of room. "You don't remember how your hands felt as they gripped my thighs...?"
"I was just," he stuttered, anger and nervousness fighting for control of his emotions. "I was just trying to move faster to find Kagome! There was nothing to it."
"Oh?" her voice was soft and breathy as her fingers reached out to touch his face.
He snatched her hand out of the air before it could come any closer, anger finally winning control of his voice. "Hai." he growled.
"Oh Inu yasha!" She threw her arms around his neck, bruising her lips against his in a crushing kiss.
@>~~~^~~~~
Kagome stopped short as her table came into view. Her pace slowed a bit as she watched the scene unfold.
The woman, who she recognized instantly as Yuki, seemed to be fighting with Inu yasha. Though she was still too far away to hear the whole conversation, bits of it managed to reach her.
"....our time together in the forest?"
"....remember ....felt as they gripped my thighs..."
Her hand came up to still her quiver lip, her eyes filling her tears. She heard him clearly say there was nothing to it.. Did that mean that it had happened but it was just a fling? Had he used her friend as some.. some sex toy?
No, she shook her head. Not her Inu yasha!
Then they'd kissed.
It was too much for the young woman. She felt light headed, dizzy, and she had to get away. Without even thinking about it, she turned on her heels and ran as quickly as she could out the exit. She hit the street but didn't stop.
She couldn't stop until the pain did...
@>~~~^~~~~
Inu yasha blinked away his shock and shoved Yuki away from him, causing her to fall hard to the floor. "What the hell do you think you're doing??!" he spat.
She looked away. "I thought..." she answered meekly.
"Like hell you thought!" he interrupted. "Other wise you would have known that what you are doing is wrong! *I. Love. KAGOME*"
Yuki threw herself up into a standing position, scowling down at the hanyou in the booth before. "What the hell is it about her?! Why the hell does *every* man on earth fall for that bitch?! What does she have that I don't?!"
In an instant, Inu yasha closed the gap between himself and Yuki, snarling at her from mere centimeters. "Everything.."
With that he turned and headed for the back of the restaurant, sniffing out his mate and leaving the startled Yuki behind. He vaguely heard her yell some threat as she exited the restaurant but ignored her in favor of finding Kagome.
He blinked for a moment when he realized that the freshest part of her scent was very close to the table. It worried him when he noticed the hint of distress and salt water. 'She's upset?' he thought, puzzled. 'Why would she be...' His thought cut short and his heart nearly stopped in his chest.
She'd seem it.
She'd seem Yuki kiss him but from the distress in the air and her presences missing from the restaurant he could bet that that was all she had seem.
"Shimatte!" he cursed as he turned to run out of the restaurant, throwing bills towards the waiter as he went.
Followed her scent down the street. Even in the heavy crowds of Tokyo her scent was still strong, like invisible waves of distress rolling towards him in the wind that seemed to grow larger with each passing second. With each new wave his own distress grew, worry for her and the pup taking control of his raging instincts.
He needed to find her before he drove himself mad.
@>~~~^~~~~
Kagome crushed herself against the large oak tree, trying with all her might to remain standing and conscious. She had to keep running. She wasn't far enough away yet.
Tears flowed freely over her cheeks and deep sobs rocked her already shaking body. The muscles in her stomach spasmed and she put a hand over the aching muscles.
"I'm sorry chibi.." she managed between sobs. "I didn't mean for this.."
Her body slid helplessly down the tree, her eyes blurring until even the closest figure was unrecognizable and she slowly slipped into unfeeling darkness.
@>~~~^~~~~
A voice was calling her.
"Kagome.."
She recognized it somehow, though, she wasn't sure from where.
"Kagome!"
The voice was getting more anxious. Was something wrong?
Her eyes fluttered open slowly and stared at the blurry figure of a man. The man gave a visible sigh of relief before crushing her against him in a tight embrace.
"Thank the gods!" he pushed her back down to lay in his lap once more, "Are you all right?"
Her vision began to clear slowly, finally allowing her to clearly view the man just ahead of her.
Soft silver hair and dog ears.
Kagome threw her arms up, pushing herself away from him, not wanting the comfort his embrace provided. Tears renewed themselves in her eyes as she struggled to stand.
"Go away!" she sobbed.
His heart wrenched and tore in his chest. "Kagome," he pleaded softly, crawling across the ground to his mate. "You don't mean that...ne?"
She fell to the ground, finally give in the exhaustion in her limbs. Her body curled in on its self, as if to protect her from some physical blow she would receive.
A soft whimper slipped through the hanyou's lips as he gently nuzzled a spot behind the retired miko's ear. "Kagome.. It wasn't what it looked like."
She shuddered, the memories she wished not to relive suddenly playing in vivid detail before her eyes. New sobs shook her body as she pulled her knees tighter to her chest.
Words were lost to her now.
Inu yasha continued to nuzzle her softly, his whimper growing in volume, accompanied by soft barks and gentle growls, adding to his heart felt pleas. The tip of his tongue gently lapped at the tears trailing over her visible cheek in a valiant effort to remove the heartbreaking crystals.
Slowly, her sobs dried up into gentle sniffles. Her mates gentle keening and soft reassuring growls speaking more truth and sorrow then any words ever could. Her body began to relax, though she kept her knees pulled to her chest. Her own soft growl replied to her mates, conveying without words that she understood.
His heart skipped a beat when he felt her relax and nearly stopped when her growl replied to his. In a sudden movement, he had the young woman gathered in his arms and pressed tightly to his chest.
"Kagome," he grunted softly. "Please.. Can I explain?"
She remained still and quiet and he took this as a sign to continue.
He brushed his cheek against her, taking hope in the close, intimate contact before explaining.
"I know you saw her kiss me but," he felt her shudder, "demo, I don't think you saw when I pushed her back koi." He looked at her for some kind of response but there was none. "I don't know much you heard of the conversation before hand, if any of it but I want you to know Kagome that I have been faithful to you since the moment we became mates."
"You believe me," he whimpered softly, unknowingly favoring the young woman with sad 'puppy eyes'. "Don't you?"
Kagome looked up at her mate, soft brown meeting saddened gold. She'd listened to his words, not knowing what to say or whether she believed him or not, but as she looked up into his soul filled eyes she knew that she believed them. The depths of sorrow and truth that pooled in them like molten gold couldn't be ignored.
"H-hai," she replied swallowing back the last of her tears. "I believe you..."
"Well isn't that sweet!"
The couple turned startled eyes towards the malevolent voice that broke through their world.
Yuki stood beneath the street lamp on the other wise dark and deserted street, allowing it to illumined her small figure and reveal the look of utter rage upon her face.
"Just fuckin' peachy!" she spat. "Well there you go again Kagome! Yet another man is locked deep in your spell!"
Inu yasha growled, his eyes never leaving the hostile woman as he pulled himself and Kagome to their feet. He pushed Kagome behind him in an effort to shield her. "What do you want bitch?!" he barked.
Yuki shrugged, moving closer to the couple with slow sultry steps. "Nothing much.. Good grade, a new car and oh..." From her back pocket the young girl removed a shiny black piece of metal and aimed it at the two lovers.
"I want Kagome.. Dead."

Kagome laughed lightly. She leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his cheek. "Just to the ladies room. I'll be right back."
He nodded and she made her exit to the back of the Denny's.
Inu yasha continued to amuse himself with the odd sticky substance that now covered his plate. "It's so stick.." he thought out loud, picking his fork up off the plate and allowing the syrup to drip down to the plate.
"It's called syrup." a female voice answered, pulling Inu yasha's attention from his newest discovery.
Yuki smiled down at the well-dressed hanyou, "But I would have thought Kagome would have told you that."
Grumbling, he returned his attention to the plate. "Go away Yuki."
"Mou," she pouted, taking the seat Kagome had just vacated. "Is that any way to talk to some one as close as us?"
He blinked, tilting his head up to give her a puzzled stare. "Come again?"
"Don't tell me you've already forgotten about our time together in the forest?" she frowned, "When we went searching for Houjou and Kagome."
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
Yuki stood again and moved over to sit next to Inu yasha, "You don't remember the way you were holding me?" She scooted closer to the hanyou and he scooted back until he ran out of room. "You don't remember how your hands felt as they gripped my thighs...?"
"I was just," he stuttered, anger and nervousness fighting for control of his emotions. "I was just trying to move faster to find Kagome! There was nothing to it."
"Oh?" her voice was soft and breathy as her fingers reached out to touch his face.
He snatched her hand out of the air before it could come any closer, anger finally winning control of his voice. "Hai." he growled.
"Oh Inu yasha!" She threw her arms around his neck, bruising her lips against his in a crushing kiss.
@>~~~^~~~~
Kagome stopped short as her table came into view. Her pace slowed a bit as she watched the scene unfold.
The woman, who she recognized instantly as Yuki, seemed to be fighting with Inu yasha. Though she was still too far away to hear the whole conversation, bits of it managed to reach her.
"....our time together in the forest?"
"....remember ....felt as they gripped my thighs..."
Her hand came up to still her quiver lip, her eyes filling her tears. She heard him clearly say there was nothing to it.. Did that mean that it had happened but it was just a fling? Had he used her friend as some.. some sex toy?
No, she shook her head. Not her Inu yasha!
Then they'd kissed.
It was too much for the young woman. She felt light headed, dizzy, and she had to get away. Without even thinking about it, she turned on her heels and ran as quickly as she could out the exit. She hit the street but didn't stop.
She couldn't stop until the pain did...
@>~~~^~~~~
Inu yasha blinked away his shock and shoved Yuki away from him, causing her to fall hard to the floor. "What the hell do you think you're doing??!" he spat.
She looked away. "I thought..." she answered meekly.
"Like hell you thought!" he interrupted. "Other wise you would have known that what you are doing is wrong! *I. Love. KAGOME*"
Yuki threw herself up into a standing position, scowling down at the hanyou in the booth before. "What the hell is it about her?! Why the hell does *every* man on earth fall for that bitch?! What does she have that I don't?!"
In an instant, Inu yasha closed the gap between himself and Yuki, snarling at her from mere centimeters. "Everything.."
With that he turned and headed for the back of the restaurant, sniffing out his mate and leaving the startled Yuki behind. He vaguely heard her yell some threat as she exited the restaurant but ignored her in favor of finding Kagome.
He blinked for a moment when he realized that the freshest part of her scent was very close to the table. It worried him when he noticed the hint of distress and salt water. 'She's upset?' he thought, puzzled. 'Why would she be...' His thought cut short and his heart nearly stopped in his chest.
She'd seem it.
She'd seem Yuki kiss him but from the distress in the air and her presences missing from the restaurant he could bet that that was all she had seem.
"Shimatte!" he cursed as he turned to run out of the restaurant, throwing bills towards the waiter as he went.
Followed her scent down the street. Even in the heavy crowds of Tokyo her scent was still strong, like invisible waves of distress rolling towards him in the wind that seemed to grow larger with each passing second. With each new wave his own distress grew, worry for her and the pup taking control of his raging instincts.
He needed to find her before he drove himself mad.
@>~~~^~~~~
Kagome crushed herself against the large oak tree, trying with all her might to remain standing and conscious. She had to keep running. She wasn't far enough away yet.
Tears flowed freely over her cheeks and deep sobs rocked her already shaking body. The muscles in her stomach spasmed and she put a hand over the aching muscles.
"I'm sorry chibi.." she managed between sobs. "I didn't mean for this.."
Her body slid helplessly down the tree, her eyes blurring until even the closest figure was unrecognizable and she slowly slipped into unfeeling darkness.
@>~~~^~~~~
A voice was calling her.
"Kagome.."
She recognized it somehow, though, she wasn't sure from where.
"Kagome!"
The voice was getting more anxious. Was something wrong?
Her eyes fluttered open slowly and stared at the blurry figure of a man. The man gave a visible sigh of relief before crushing her against him in a tight embrace.
"Thank the gods!" he pushed her back down to lay in his lap once more, "Are you all right?"
Her vision began to clear slowly, finally allowing her to clearly view the man just ahead of her.
Soft silver hair and dog ears.
Kagome threw her arms up, pushing herself away from him, not wanting the comfort his embrace provided. Tears renewed themselves in her eyes as she struggled to stand.
"Go away!" she sobbed.
His heart wrenched and tore in his chest. "Kagome," he pleaded softly, crawling across the ground to his mate. "You don't mean that...ne?"
She fell to the ground, finally give in the exhaustion in her limbs. Her body curled in on its self, as if to protect her from some physical blow she would receive.
A soft whimper slipped through the hanyou's lips as he gently nuzzled a spot behind the retired miko's ear. "Kagome.. It wasn't what it looked like."
She shuddered, the memories she wished not to relive suddenly playing in vivid detail before her eyes. New sobs shook her body as she pulled her knees tighter to her chest.
Words were lost to her now.
Inu yasha continued to nuzzle her softly, his whimper growing in volume, accompanied by soft barks and gentle growls, adding to his heart felt pleas. The tip of his tongue gently lapped at the tears trailing over her visible cheek in a valiant effort to remove the heartbreaking crystals.
Slowly, her sobs dried up into gentle sniffles. Her mates gentle keening and soft reassuring growls speaking more truth and sorrow then any words ever could. Her body began to relax, though she kept her knees pulled to her chest. Her own soft growl replied to her mates, conveying without words that she understood.
His heart skipped a beat when he felt her relax and nearly stopped when her growl replied to his. In a sudden movement, he had the young woman gathered in his arms and pressed tightly to his chest.
"Kagome," he grunted softly. "Please.. Can I explain?"
She remained still and quiet and he took this as a sign to continue.
He brushed his cheek against her, taking hope in the close, intimate contact before explaining.
"I know you saw her kiss me but," he felt her shudder, "demo, I don't think you saw when I pushed her back koi." He looked at her for some kind of response but there was none. "I don't know much you heard of the conversation before hand, if any of it but I want you to know Kagome that I have been faithful to you since the moment we became mates."
"You believe me," he whimpered softly, unknowingly favoring the young woman with sad 'puppy eyes'. "Don't you?"
Kagome looked up at her mate, soft brown meeting saddened gold. She'd listened to his words, not knowing what to say or whether she believed him or not, but as she looked up into his soul filled eyes she knew that she believed them. The depths of sorrow and truth that pooled in them like molten gold couldn't be ignored.
"H-hai," she replied swallowing back the last of her tears. "I believe you..."
"Well isn't that sweet!"
The couple turned startled eyes towards the malevolent voice that broke through their world.
Yuki stood beneath the street lamp on the other wise dark and deserted street, allowing it to illumined her small figure and reveal the look of utter rage upon her face.
"Just fuckin' peachy!" she spat. "Well there you go again Kagome! Yet another man is locked deep in your spell!"
Inu yasha growled, his eyes never leaving the hostile woman as he pulled himself and Kagome to their feet. He pushed Kagome behind him in an effort to shield her. "What do you want bitch?!" he barked.
Yuki shrugged, moving closer to the couple with slow sultry steps. "Nothing much.. Good grade, a new car and oh..." From her back pocket the young girl removed a shiny black piece of metal and aimed it at the two lovers.
"I want Kagome.. Dead."
