InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ In the Dark ❯ So It Begins ... [Revised] ( Chapter 4 )

EDIT: Ok, I made the make out scene heavier at the request of some fans xD I was unsatisfied with it also but I think I made up for it!

AN - In case you were hoping, that last paragraph was just a little preview of the next chapter, not the actual ending *pure evil* and thanks to "Byron" for revising my work *wink*

* By the way, you will never see me call Kagome a 'Bitch' or 'wench' or whatever other rude term people seem to think Inu uses. He uses the rude form of 'YOU' in Japanese when he speaks with Kagome, only to be translated as those rude English terms 'cause bitch sounds better than "you!". Sorry, Inu will seem OC in that sense, but he'll still be Inuyasha in every other way xD. ~ eternalshiva

Disclaimer: I don't own Inu and that makes me sad :*(

Warning: A little Lemony-goodness never hurt anyone! *wiggles eyebrows*

Chapter 4

In The Dark: So it begins.

He had sensed a change in her lately; her eyes seemed more tired and weary. When he had prodded her with questions, she had tried to shrug him off but he was stubborn. She said that she hadn't been sleeping well, that her dreams had been troubling her; they didn't make any sense enough for her to explain them to him. Souta looked over to Reina and listened to her rant on about geometry and something about square angles. He had gotten lost as soon as he had opened the book and distracted by his girlfriend's pensive pouts. He feigned understanding when she gave him a meaningful look, thinking she was asking about math but she just ended up giving him a weird look.

"Why are you so distracted Souta?"

He blinked at her. Was it that obvious? He shrugged. "My sister's been weird lately. She sleeps all the time but she's still tired. I hear her whimpering in her sleep, like she's facing something in her dreams, I've heard her scream out in pain but by the time I get to her room, she's on her way out the door to the kitchen, muttering something about wanting ramen."

Reina nodded thoughtfully. She had seen the strained look Kagome had carried lately, she just assumed her school load had been heavy and that Inuyasha guy was a slave driver when it came to work. He never let up for anything. "You think she's working too much with that Inuyasha guy and the stress is starting to get to her?"

He shook his head. "No, Inuyasha might be driven but he would never put her health at risk. Something about him tells me he would rather cut his arm off than see Kagome over exerted." She agreed with him and cast him a side-glance. Souta's eyes had glazed over again. 'He's really worried about her.' She leaned over to him and gave him a soft lingering kiss on his lips. He blinked at her in surprise before wrapping his arms around her. She held him for a few minutes in order to comfort him. She heard him mumble something through her short curly hair and she opened her violet eyes to look at him in wonder. "What?"

"I said 'Don't tell my sister I'm actually worried about her or I'm going to give you a wedgie'." He reached down in the back of her jeans and tugged on her panties to show her he was serious. He smirked when she leaned far away from him, glaring her outrage and bonked him over the head with her fist. 'Baka.'

* * *

It was well passed supper time when they arrived at Dimitri's, a small Greek restaurant hidden away in the city of Tokyo. The young couple walked into the homely establishment and was greeted by a jolly man, whom Kagome assumed was the owner. He seemed quite familiar with Inuyasha considering he hugged the silver hair man and spoke to him in Greek. Inuyasha nodded and responded to him in the same language and all she caught from the sentence was her name. The man shook her hand and hugged her in greeting. She cast a curious glance over to Inuyasha but he didn't notice her inquisitive look, he was too busy fake-grinning and fighting the urge to peel the man's arms from around Kagome.

They were promptly seated in a semi-private part of the restaurant and man winked at Inuyasha in approval of his companion. The hanyou had to hold back a blush.

"I didn't know you could speak Greek!" she whispered to him in complete awe. He cocked an eyebrow at her. "I lived there for a while and picked it up," he said, trying to sound casual about it. It was more like 'I lived there for a hundred years and nearly forgot how to speak Japanese before I moved back' but he wasn't about to tell her that, that would bring on way too many questions and surely she would call him a liar. Just a hunch though.

The twinkling in her eyes made him pause, making his invisible ears twitch in a nervous tick. He had a feeling she was about to ask a lot of questions. 'Better get some food stuffed in her before she gets too many of those out' he mentally groaned. He wasn't ready to let her know all that much about him just yet. He had too many questions of his own to answer before he was fully prepared to let her in on the secret. And there was the small problem that he still hadn't spoken to Sesshomarou about their conversation over a week ago.

He was still pondering the idea that this woman could be where his soul's life mate had reappeared, giving him a second chance, to right the wrongs of the past. His soul certainly seemed to believe she was the one considering it had initiated the soul-mating ritual. Not initiated, he corrected, but was continuing. It had surprised him when it happened. Inuyasha knew nothing of her at the time, let alone had considered marking her with his aura.

He was brought back to attention when the waiter appeared with two menus and Kagome asked him what he would order. "I always have the Chicken Souvlaki plate, deep fried mushrooms and the Tzatziki sauce entrée."

"What's this?" She pointed at a word and he tried to look quite serious "Why don't you order it and find out? That's the fun of going to a strange place." he nodded. She narrowed her eyes at him like she thought he was up to something. A serious Inuyasha was something to be wary of, that she knew quite well. But she decided to be adventurous and ordered it, making a pathetic attempt at trying to pronounce it and Inuyasha laughed. Just in case she wouldn't like the mystery plate, he told the waiter in Greek to bring another plate of the chicken souvlaki.

She continued to bombard him with questions about Greece and what he had been doing there. They were coming at him so fast he was having trouble keeping up with her and keeping the questions straight. He was grateful when the food arrived.

"What is this?" she poked at a mass of battered covered … things on her plate with her fork. She looked worried. Inuyasha laughed at her expression. "Those, my dear, are called Calamari and they are baby squids deep fried in a bread batter." He grabbed one and popped it in his mouth, making sure it crunched as loud as possible as he chewed, keeping a very amused eye on the young woman. Kagome had just finished making dry heaving sounds and was starting to change color. "You eat sushi don't you?" She stared at him. "I do not!" He laughed, she had an angry blush creeping up her neck and he was enjoying watching it kiss her skin. He wondered what she tasted like…

Kagome noticed his sudden somber mood; she looked up away from the mass of dead baby squids, and looked into his eyes. She paused. The air seemed electric around them. His eyes had changed color, darkening to a deep amber. They were laced with lust, passion and want. Her heartbeat raced suddenly and she licked her lips, trying to bring moisture back, they felt parched. His eyes were moving along the curves of her upper body, in a slow urgent fashion and when he saw her tongue dart out cautiously, he unconsciously let out a soft growl.

She felt a rush of energy flow through her body after his odd command, like her soul had responded to his call. His eyes held an unspoken promise she couldn't resist and he let out another sharper growl for her to not move, to submit to him and she wanted nothing more but to comply. She felt a shiver travel up her spine and a tingle of warmth take over her body. It felt like he had wrapped himself around her and he wasn't about to let go anytime soon. She let her own energy wrap itself around that tingle and felt something lock in place, she suddenly had the urge to leap over the table and grab Inuyasha in the heat of what ever this energy was. She urgently needed to feel his skin against her own at that moment. It almost felt desperate.

The sound of a plate being dropped in front of her snapped both of them back to reality. She blushed. Kagome could feel the heat between her legs and her blood pumping with each heart beat under her skin. She felt hot all over and all he did was stare at her. 'Kami, I'm never going to survive the first kiss!' she thought. 'Well, if there is a first kiss.' she added dejectedly. She took a bite of her meal. "Oh wow Inu! That sauce really is good!" she chirped. He smiled.

Inuyasha blinked, trying to shake off what just happened. He tentatively took his fork and began to eat. Her soul had responded to his mating call and had allowed him to let his aura touch her own. She surprised him when she not only accepted his claim but placed her own on his aura. They had just performed the first step into Inu-youkai mating and she was completely unaware of what had just happened between them. He didn't expect it to happen and it seemed that his soul was rushing into the mating. Maybe 500 years of being separated had something to do with it. He sighed; she wasn't going to be happy about this. His ears flattened against his head and he groaned at both the thought of the upcoming conversation he needed to have with her and at the erection painfully pressing against the confines of his pants. This was going to be a long night.

* * *

Kagome laced her arm with his as they walked side by side into the dark of the night, they casually chatted about the food and their project. Neither of them wanted to speak about the tense moment of a few hours ago, Inuyasha didn't want to talk about it and Kagome was still feeling a little light headed from the experience. Her fingers were gently squeezing his arm while she spoke, unaware of her actions. She was nervous, he could sense it from her now more clearly since their auras were now connected. It wouldn't be long now before …

: I wonder if he's going to kiss me? :

Inuyasha stumbled at the loudness of the foreign voice that just interrupted his thoughts. Kagome gasped in surprise as Inuyasha dragged her down with him to the ground. She fell on top of him, ungracefully she might add, smacking her head on his chin and kneed him in the stomach by accident. She heard an unhealthy crunch and felt a rush of hot air hit her in the face. Her eyes were tightly squeezed shut and her fingers were tangled in Inuyasha's shirt. She waited for him to say something but when nothing came out of him, she lifted her head from his chest and cautiously opened one eye.

"Are you ok?" she whispered. Still nothing but Inuyasha's even breathing. His eyes were closed and she felt a rush of panic. She was positive he had just knocked himself unconscious on the hard pavement of the sidewalk.

Her thought had completely caught him off guard. She had been worrying about what he was going to do when they got to her place so much that her voice sounded like it was screaming in his head. This is what had caused him to lose his footing, and now, she was straddling him and he was trying not take advantage of the precarious situation, trying to ignore the throb at the back of his head from hitting it on the ground. He felt her shift on top of him. He closed his eyes in an effort to keep his member from greeting her in a stiff salute but it proved to be difficult when she leaned up to his face and started to touch him. He opened his eyes only to meet her worried gaze, filled with unshed tears. He frowned. Had he hurt her?

"Oh good!" she sighed-whispered "I thought you had seriously hurt yourself!" He grinned. She seemed relieved at his safety and then it dawned on her of their position. She was mere inches away from his face, him underneath her, legs wrapped around hips, her breasts were pushed against his chest and her hands were traveling on the soft skin of his face, inquiring to see if there were more injuries. She felt a twitch between her legs and blinked. 'Is that?' Her eyes widened a fraction and confirmed what she thought it was when it twitched again. She looked down to Inuyasha's face and he seemed uncertain about what she was going to do. He searched her eyes and asked her if she was all right, she nodded slowly and leaned towards him. She had intended to nuzzle his cheek with her own, but weird stuff was happening all night and ever since she laid eyes on Inuyasha that morning in class, things hadn't been normal in general. He had thrown complete chaos in her usually tranquil ocean she called life.

She felt her lips softly brush against his, just a light feathery touch that made them tickle. She looked at him, trying to see if there was any hint of rejection but he only looked surprised, he brought his hands to her face and gently pulled her towards his face again, and brought his lips against her own, letting them linger in the warmth. Her previous arousal hit her full force at his gentle kiss and she opened her mouth slightly and tasted his lips with the tip of her tongue. Inuyasha groaned lightly and opened his mouth, letting her lead the kiss into a deep caress of their tongues.

She shifted her weight away from her hands so her heated regions pushed down onto his waist, freeing her hands to dive in the depths of his silver hair. Inuyasha groaned and grinded his hips upwards, earning a gasp from the woman above him, forcing her to break the kiss from the sensation pulsing with her blood. He grabbed her thighs and thrusted lightly, rubbing his swollen and very confined length against her warmth. She pulled her hands out of his hair and grabbed his shoulders, letting her nails dent the skin under his clothes.

He let out a soft growl and that heated energy returned, making them frantic with want. She leaned down to his neck and let her lips capture the pulse point of his neck, he growled again in encouragement and she let herself nick his throat with her very human canines. She felt him buck underneath her and his fingers trace the length of her back in a slow sensual dance that made her shiver. She opened her eyes and looked down. His eyes were closed; a frown of concentration marked his feature and saw him slightly bite his lip as she pushed down again, grinding herself to him. His eyes snapped open at the sensation. She smirked and lifted her hand to push away the loose strand of hair across his face. That heated energy was beginning to overwhelm her senses and had blocked out the very important fact that they were outside, on the sidewalk.

She pulled away suddenly and gasped. Her hand was covered in blood. "Inuyasha! You're bleeding!"

* * *

They had rushed to her house, Inuyasha kept telling her that it wasn't that bad, she should stop fretting; it made her look weird. She only glared at him as she wrapped his head with gauze and ordered him to go see the doctor. He Keh'd her and told her she was over reacting, it was just a "small scratch."

"Small scratch indeed! There was blood all over the side walk!" she nearly screamed at him, pointing her finger at him. She had been worried sick when she saw the pool of blood that had formed around his head. He snickered. "I was busy making out with you before I even noticed I was bleeding so it can't possibly be that bad." He calmly stated. She blushed and stared straight down to her shoes. 'I can't believe I was that forward with him… and made out with him in the middle of a side walk, almost at the steps of the shrine! Good thing everyone was in bed … Souta would of never have let me live this down!'

He grinned. He knew what she was thinking about. He got up and placed a small peck on her cheek and told her he would call her tomorrow and make plans. She just stood there, touching the spot on her cheek where his lips had made contact and nodded at him. She heard the door close and heard him start his walk down the steps of the shrine. She giggled. What a fantastic night she thought to herself and made her way to bed.

Inuyasha made it home on time to hear his phone ring.

"Hello?"

"Inuyasha." His brother's voice calmly stated.

"Sesshomarou! I was just thinking about you." He heard him snort and told him not to make a habit of it, people might think they actually like each other. Inuyasha laughed.

Things had certainly changed between him and his brother. A long time ago there was nothing these two wouldn't do to kill the other off. Sesshomarou had seen Inuyasha as a shame to their family lineage of the proud Westernland Lords and had been angry that their father had chosen a human female as his life-mate. It only meant to him that his own mother had been nothing more than a concubine to his father and that made him rage. He eventually found out that his father had deeply loved his mother and in the period between his mother's death and the birth of Inuyasha's mother, the soul had reincarnated as a human, Inu's mother. It took him years to accept that idea and Rin had scolded him when she heard of his treatment towards his brother. One thing that Inuyasha had learned about his mate was that she was good at getting angry and she made easily made Sesshomarou feel like a kicked puppy after that argument. Inuyasha never wanted to be on her bad side, no matter what the cost.

"How are things with Rin?"

"Fine, she announced to me that it was time we started with our pups. She figures 400 years of honeymoon bliss was enough and she wanted to answer the call of motherhood." His voice was stoic and Inuyasha wished he could see him, the idea of his brother having pups climbing all over him became too much for him and he let out a deep laugh in the sensitive ear of his brother which resulted in sharp threatening growl, quieting the hanyou instantly but the grin never left his face.

"I was calling you for a reason brother, not because I wished to be laughed at."

"Ok ok, sorry" Inuyasha sheepishly answered. It was still funny though.

"I found out some interesting information about your current situation with the human girl."

"Oh yeah? About that …" He went into the details of the night. There was a long pause at the end of the line that made Inuyasha alert and nervous. "What is it?"

"You need to sit down Inuyasha, this will not be pleasant."

* * *

Battle sounds could be heard deep in the woods. Kagome heard a woman's voice scream in rage as the battle cry "Sankontessou" echoed off the trees. She blinked. Where was she? She could move her body. She noticed her arms were pulling on something, she looked down to see she held a bow and the arrow sparkled pink with energy. 'What the heck?' She noticed she was wearing her miko robes from the shrine. She heard a voice, similar to her own come from her throat warning the red cloaked figure to run as she heard a chanting come from another miko across the clearing. She shuddered. She noticed the man in front of her, long silver hair and dog ears on top of his head. 'Dog ears?' she blinked again. 'That looks like Inuyasha! But how could he have dog ears?'. Tto say she was curious was an understatement.

He turned towards her, his golden eyes were starting to bleed red.

"K..Kikyo run!" she heard his voice grunt out, barely audible as his hair began to float, like there was a sudden change in the wind. 'Kikyo?' She felt herself shake her head and say "No my love, I will not leave you to fight here alone." She wasn't sure if he heard her. His eyes were glowing red, his teeth had lengthened. Two purple strips had appeared on his perfect cheeks, His fingers were longer than before. She frowned, no those were nails, not his fingers.

He snarled, loud and angry and in her mind she heard a whimper, a broken cry.

: Forgive me love :

Her eyes snapped shut as she released the energy arrow towards the other miko busy chanting, ignoring the snarling Inuyasha. He leaped to her, claws extended. She felt her body stiffen and she opened her eyes only to see two red eyes, inches from her face. His hands had gripped her arms; his nails were digging into her flesh, ripping through them. She heard another wail in her mind, heart wrenching and miserable. She felt scared. She didn't know what was happening.

She felt one arm break free from her body as the flesh let out a sickening ripping sound and yet she felt no physical pain. She just kept starring into the eyes of the man she had mated and felt an odd sadness. She heard his angry howl as he opened his mouth, revealing his canines and brought his head down to her throat in a deadly kiss. She felt his teeth painfully break her skin and clamp down swiftly. She heard a crack and felt the flesh of her neck pull away. She tried to scream but all she could hear was a gurgle and the taste of copper in her mouth.

: Oh Kami! Kikyo! What have I done? :

She looked up in her last moments of breath, the miko had been hit with her arrow and had died but not before he had ripped through her throat. Inuyasha looked upon her body, his eyes filled with tears and he let out a broken howl, clutching her, his body was shaking with deep soul shaking sobs. She heard the woman in his arms whisper things of love and asking him to live for her but her heart had felt betrayed and her sadness was soul deep.

* * *

Souta heard his sister scream from her bedroom, he leapt out of bed, scrambling to put on his boxers, knocking his girlfriend out of bed. She yelped but he just kept running to his sister's room. He burst inside screaming her name. He was shocked. She was glowing. A pink film had formed around her while she struggled to breathe, hands to her throat. She was crying and sobbing so deeply he felt his own eyes water. He reached for her and her eyes snapped opened. They were glowing the same color as her body. His eyes widened in surprise when he felt her hand shove against his chest and heard her strangled horrified scream: "G… Get away from me!"

Her hand glowed sharply and Souta felt his feet lift from the ground. He vaguely heard Reina cry out as a strange light filled the room. He remembered hitting something hard against his back, a loud crack that made him wince before everything went dark and silent.

^^; the angst! Oh my >.<
