If You Only Knew: Chapter 9

Inuyasha woke just as the sun was rising. 'When did I fall asleep?' He was displeased with himself, being that he and Kagome were on the ground in the open. Looking down at his mate, he smiled. She was still sleeping peacefully, laying comfortable against his chest. Their clothes were still strewn across the area, but he grabbed his firerat fur coat that was nearby to cover them. Putting his face in her hair, he inhaled her scent, which was now mixed with his. It was the sweetest smell in the world. Brushing some strands from her shoulder, he lightly traced the mark his teeth had made last night. It was a red and slightly raised into a welt, though it would eventually fade to just a pink scar. 'Mine.' His arms tightened around her. He was in a mild bliss, just knowing that someone loved him. He had finally found happiness, although it had been there in front of him the entire time. Kagome had offered that light to him almost from the beginning, but he had been too oblivious and stubborn to realize it. He would no longer drown in loathing for his life and being a hanyou. Belonging was another feeling he had to get used to. He was part of something. . . a family almost. Their friends, the village, and of course Shippou. As much as he hated admitting it, Kagome was like the kit's mother, so he'd have to act in the place of his father. In some ways he had already assumed that role, even if he didn't show it. Resting his forehead against hers, another alien thought sprang into his head. 'What if Kagome and I have pups?!' That was something he really hadn't given much thought to, but looking at her face, which held a small smile even in slumber, he knew he wouldn't mind much. 'She'd be a wonderful mother.' He found himself looking back on how she was with Shippou and there was no doubt in his mind. His brain switched tracks but took on a similar direction. In order to have pups, they'd have to engage in similar situations as the night before. A huge grin spread across his face. That was something he couldn't argue with.

Kagome shifted and groaned as she began to wake. Opening her eyes, she saw a wall of tanned flesh, specifically a well-toned chest. Silver locks of hair tickled her face as she lifted her gaze to meet Inuyasha's. Surprise and confusion shown in her eyes before she remembered the events from the night before. A dark blush reached her cheeks and she tried to pull away, but was restricted by his arms around her.

Inuyasha smirked. "Good morning, koi. Did you sleep well?"

Kagome glared at him, but without malice, and buried her head in his shoulder with a groan. She mumbled something about needing a bath.

Grinning, Inuyasha picked himself up with her in tow off the ground.

"Inuyasha, what are you doing?" Kagome fixed her arms around his neck as he bounded to the stream.

"You said you wanted a bath, didn't you?" His smile never faded as he jumped into the water. The cool water splashed all over her body and she yelped. "It's cold!"

"Don't be such a wimp!" He put her on her feet, and the water came up to her waist. She stood there with her arms crossed in front of her. He leaned in and kissed her, removing her arms from her chest and placing them around his neck. After a moment she kissed him back, and without warning, he dunked the both of them. She came up sputtering, and he was laughing. "You're awake now aren't you?"

She slapped the surface, spraying him with water. "You are such a jerk!" However, a smiled displayed on her lips at the sight of water dripping off his ears. Pouting, he crossed his arms on his chest. 'He looks so cute like that.' Reaching out to him, she put her arms back around his neck. "I'm sorry, you're not a jerk."

"Really?" He uncrossed his arms.

"Really." She smiled and kissed his cheek.

Wrapping her in his embrace, he nuzzled her neck. Softly, he kissed the mark on her shoulder. She glanced down as it had tingled and noticed it for the first time. "Did you do that?"

He actually chuckled, "You didn't notice, ne?" Kagome shook her head. "I guess you were too preoccupied." He smirked as she turned red.

"You are so arrogant." Kagome tapped his chest lightly, but his smirk didn't fade. "Why?"

"Why what? Why did I mark you?" She nodded. "That's so demons know you belong to me."

She looked at him skeptically, "Isn't that a little possessive?"

Inuyasha shrugged. "It's a custom in the mating ritual."

"Oh." Kagome looked down and blushed again at the mention of mating. Her timid innocence hadn't changed, but that didn't bother him. It just meant he'd have to make her more comfortable with the subject.

"Did you. . .umm. . ." Inuyasha fumbled with the words, trying to make it come out right. "Did it bother you? The mating?"

Kagome's color brightened, but she gave him a sincere expression. "Of course not." She tried not to avert her eyes. "I kind of liked it."

His arrogant smirk plastered on his face again. "Good." Holding her face in his hands, he reached down and kissed her. The butterflies returned as his lips pressed against hers. He nibbled her lower lip and she allowed him to deepen the kiss. She shyly put her tongue inside his mouth, which he massaged with his own. His arms supported her back as he moved to her neck, biting her a little harder than before, but kissing it after, almost in apology for the sting. He licked her collarbone and down between the mounds of her chest. His mouth found one breast and suckled it. Removing one hand from her back, he caressed the other one, fondling the nipple. Kagome pushed herself into his affections, her lips parted in silent gasps. Lifting her, he carried her over by the waterfall and placed her against the smooth wall. Her legs wrapped around his waist and he kissed her again. His hand glided down her slick thighs, then moved up until he found the heat between her legs. Teasing her spot of pleasure with his fingers, he listened to her breath shorten and come in panting gasps. He slipped a finger inside her, feeling her walls clasp around it. She moaned and whimpered as he explored her. Removing his hand and sampling her flavor, he gazed at her. Water sprayed lightly down on her skin, making the sunlight reflect off in rainbows. She looked like an angel. 'So beautiful.' He dipped his head to trace her jaw with his tongue, lapping at the drops of water. He tasted her lips, teasing her before finally kissing her hard.

Kagome felt the urgency in his kiss. She moaned against him as his hands gripped her waist. He broke the kiss to watch her face and in one swift thrust, he put himself inside her. She cried out in pleasure, bucking against him and placing him deeper. Her arms tightened around his neck as his movement increased. Her expressions during his lovemaking showed all her passion, nothing was held back. She didn't look shy then, and he knew she liked it. He quickened his pace, enjoying the sensation of her inner muscles squeezing him. He knew she was near her peak, because he could smell her climax approaching. Stopping for a moment, he pulled nearly out of her. She whimpered and opened her eyes to look at him. He seemed almost wild, but she could see the love radiating behind his eyes. He pushed into her again with such force that her entire body shook with the orgasm. She screamed his name, raking her nails into his back as he moved himself within her faster and with more power than the time before. Again, he pulled nearly out of her as she came down from her climax, but thrust inside her again, starting a whole new wave of tremors. Kagome forgot to breathe as he caused more and more explosions to generate from the center of her being. He thrust once more, pushing himself fully inside her as deep as he could go, and found his own release. She cried out as the spasm of his seed sent her flying higher once again. Their eyes met as they caught their breath, and for that moment the world stopped. Nothing else mattered. He embraced her tightly, putting his forehead against hers. "My Kagome." He whispered. Kagome giggled. "Always."

The sound of the waterfall behind them and the birds made for a beautiful atmosphere. She really did love this era. It was so much cleaner than her time. That brought thoughts of her family again, and she tried not to show her sadness. Inuyasha sensed her thoughts were troubling her and looked at her slightly concerned. "What's wrong?"

She sighed. "I just wish I could say goodbye, so that my family wouldn't worry that I got hurt or something."

He gave her a look of understanding, then picked her up and headed towards the bank. "Let's go talk to Kaede-baba."

She didn't have any towels with her, 'I'll have to air dry, it's not like I have a choice.' Inuyasha offered her his firerat coat, blushing at the fact that he had destroyed her own clothes. She thanked him and took them with an equal embarrassment. Climbing his back when they were done dressing, he lept through the air. The colour didn't leave her face as she notice the feel of his muscles working under her. His arms were locked around her knees and his back tensed with every leap. It took her mind to their times together, and she smiled. 'My Kagome' was what he had called her. It was definitely a positive change to 'wench' or 'bitch.' Her heart leapt when she saw his feelings expressed so openly, and his touch was like fire under her skin. Who knew Inuyasha could be so gentle. . . so loving. 'He's changed so much, but he's still Inuyasha. I wouldn't have it any other way." She put her head on his shoulders, letting the wind whip through her hair, drying the moisture. 'No matter what Kaede says, there's no way I can go home forever. I won't leave him.'

They arrived at the hut in only a few minutes, but both were dry, although a little disheveled. Everyone was inside eating breakfast. When the two entered, all eyes were on them.

Miroku coughed and cleared his throat, "So, where were you two all night?"

Sango smacked him upside the head and smiled at them. "Kagome-sama, did you decide what you're going to do?"

Kagome bit her lower lip. With a sigh, she went to her bag, got a set of clothes, and within minutes came back and plopped herself on the ground. Inuyasha made his way to a far wall and leaned against it. Miroku sent Inuyasha a knowing grin, but all he got in return was a cold glare.

"I guess I have to talk to Kaede again. I finally figured out where I belong. I can't leave this era, because it's my home. I can't leave you guys behind. You're my family. Shippou would feel abandoned. And. . ." She gave a side-glance at Inuyasha, "I can't imagine living my life without Inuyasha." Miroku smirked at the hanyou again, only getting the same response, but he knew they'd have to talk later. Sango also made a mental note to find out what went on between the two. "If Kaede can help me at least say goodbye to my mom, brother, and grandpa, I'll be content to stay here."

Miroku added his thought, "Kagome-sama, if you can go there and come back, why not bring them with you?"

Kagome looked at him puzzled. "I. . .I don't think they'd want to come. I mean, it would be so much different from what they're used to."

"You adjusted, didn't you?" Sango commented.

"Well, yeah." Kagome couldn't imagine her mother living without the conveniences of the kitchen and superstores, or Souta without his video games. She laughed at the thought of Grandpa trying to banish all the demons he came in contact with.

"What's so funny?" Inuyasha turned his head to the side, making him look more like a puppy than anything else, which caused her to giggle harder.

"Could you imagine jii-chan living here with all these demons? He'd have a heart attack!"

"Or get killed/eaten first." Inuyasha growled. "That damn man and his 'sacred ofudas.' Maybe he'd finally believe they're worthless when one sinks its claws into him just for stupidities sake!"

"Inuyasha! I know they don't work, but that's mean! Grandpa believes they do, so that's all that matters!" Kagome pierced him with a stern look.

"Feh! Stupid old man!" He grumbled.

"Inuyasha!"

"What?" He expected a 'sit' but it didn't come.

Kagome wanted to sit him, more than once, but she held back. Things had changed between them and she didn't see it as fair. There had to be other ways to control him. Gentler but still firm, she told him, "Inuyasha. Don't talk about my family that way. It upsets me. You wouldn't like it if I talked about your parents that way."

He chewed on this. She didn't sit him. 'I think I like the way things are going.' He smirked, "You can talk about Sesshoumaru that way, I wouldn't care."

"That's different! He's tried to kill you!" She was standing with her hands on her hips now.

"And your grandpa keeps trying to kill me with those scraps of worthless paper!"

"He's harmless!"

"He's annoying!"

Sango and Miroku watched them go back and forth, obviously amused. Both were wondering why Kagome hadn't sat him by now. It was only a matter of time, right?

"You're rude! You come barging in the house, ready to take me away from my family! It's no wonder why he tries to get rid of you!"

"You shouldn't have gone home anyway! They know you belong here with me!"

"Don't start that! They love me, too! Wouldn't you care if someone ripped me out of your reach?"

"Feh, I'd like to see them try." He put his nose in the air and crossed his arms, his usual stubborn, arrogant stance.

She stalked over to him. "You are impossible!" She pointed her finger at him. "Why can't you be nice about it and just say you're sorry?"

Inuyasha grabbed her outstretched hand by the wrist, carefully as not to hurt her, he pulled the startled girl in until their noses nearly touched. "You know you're attractive when you're angry?" He smirked at her baffled expression, and then he kissed her roughly, but still passionately.

Kagome pulled away from him when his lips left hers, although a tingling sensation lingered from his kiss. She turned to see her friends staring wide-eyed at them. Miroku looked like he was about to drool and Sango was bewildered at the sudden open display of affection. Kagome turned ten shades of red before storming out of the hut to find Kaede and cool down. Sango followed, still in disbelief.

Miroku scooted over to Inuyasha and nonchalantly asked, "So, did you mate with her?" Inuyasha bopped him upside the head. "Stop being a pervert, bouzu!"

The monk rubbed his scalp, and gave him an innocent look. "I wasn't being perverted! It's just like asking if a couple is married, but only in demon terms." Although his response was valid, his silly grin made it doubtful.

"Sure, bouzu, whatever you say." Inuyasha got up to leave.

"Seriously, Inuyasha-sama, did you finally get the nerve to tell her how you felt?" A glare shut the houshi up for the moment, but he would get it out of him.

As Inuyasha exited the hut, a flying furball hit his chest. "What did YOU do to KAGOME?!" The kit was pounding on him with his little fist. Inuyasha lifted him by his tail, prepared to bop him when the young miko ran over to them.

"Inuyasha, don't hurt him. He went to hug me but repelled back and came after you."

With a growl Inuyasha dropped the kitsune to the ground, who stood there bearing his tiny fangs, his hands fisted at his sides.

"Shippou, you stop acting that way towards Inuyasha right now!" She didn't really raise her voice but the command was still evident and the cub shrunk back slightly.

Inuyasha couldn't believe this turn of events. She was yelling at the brat instead of sitting him! Sango and Miroku watched, waiting for answers to this bizarre scene. Kohaku just seemed clueless but uninterested. He and Kirara walked off. (BTW, Kohaku is just kinda here in the story, I didn't want to elaborate much with his character.)

"But Kagome. . ." Shippou unfisted his hands.

"No, Shippou, no buts. I want to know why you came over here and attacked Inuyasha. He didn't do anything to you." Her gaze was as stern as her voice and both kept the demon child from moving.

"I smelled him on you. . . I thought he hurt you." Shippou hung his head, afraid to meet her stare.

She knelt in front of him. "He didn't hurt me, Shippou-chan. You can't jump to conclusions about things like that without talking to someone about it first. Now you go apologize to him."

"But. . ."

"Shippou."

He sighed and trudged over to a smirking hanyou. 'I'm only doing this because Kagome says I have to.' He looked up at Inuyasha and said, "I'm sorry."

"You better be you little twerp!" He looked down at him with his arms crossed.

"Inuyasha!" Both turned to look at Kagome. The hanyou gulped and Shippou cringed.

"Feh!" Inuyasha leapt into the forest without another word.

Kagome watched the retreating boy with a sigh. 'He needs to act his age.'

Shippou tugged on her skirt. "I'm sorry, Kagome. Please don't be mad at me."

She smiled and picked up the kit. "It's okay, Shippou-chan. Just remember what I said. Go play now." She hugged him and set him down. He ran off to find Kirara and Kohaku.

Miroku and Sango exchanged confused looks but shrugged it off the moment. "Kagome-chan, didn't you want to find Kaede-sama?" Sango inquired.

"Yeah, I'd really want to see my family. Do you know where she is?"

"She said she was harvesting herbs from the garden. Would you like me to help you find her?"

"I could use the company." The two ladies left to find the miko while Miroku went off after Inuyasha.
