InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Intended Mate ❯ chapter three ( Chapter 3 )

Hello! The nice reviews inspired me to plug out chapter three today. There is a mature situation near the end of the story, so people above 18 please. What does Sessh think of this whole mating affair? He may surprise you here!

And yes it is apparently a fandom canon ritual for inuyokai to give a mating bitemark. I figured I'd hold to that, so yes that is not canon to Rumiko's story or plot. Covering myself here.

Any questions or suggestions and reviews are always welcome! Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!

 

Penpaninu does not in any way shape or form own Inuyasha though does claim to be inu. (lol)

 

“Intended Mate” chapter three

by penpaninu

 

Miroku stumbled out of Kaede's hut, giggles from his friends echoing in his ears. Inuyasha and Kagome looked at him, taking in the usual palm mark smacked across his cheek.

“I hope Sango-chan isn't angry at you for long,” Kagome confessed sheepishly. Inuyasha snuffed, alittle indignant at having to release Kagome early for this. Miroku rubbed his cheek and knelt beside Inuyasha.

 

“It's not just that. A powerful youkai is heading in this direction,” Miroku intoned. Inuyasha stood and held his head high, giving the air an experimental sniff.

 

“Bleh! That's just Sesshomaru,” he said in disgust, tongue lolling out of his mouth doggishly. Kagome looked around rapidly.

 

“He's coming right for us,” she sounded calm but her heart sped up. Was he after the Tetsusaiga again? Either way it would result in a fight with Inuyasha and her woman's heart rebelled at someone laying hands on her intended.

 

Inuyasha smirked and grinned down at her. Kagome blushed. Could he sense her dislike of fighting with Sesshomaru? Maybe those times we were together already started a bond of sorts, Kagome thought. We don't want to be far apart.

 

Inuyasha stepped in front of Kagome and took a few steps to meet his brother halfway.

 

“What do you want, huh?” Inuyasha barked.

 

Sesshomaru regarded him coolly. “To speak to you, assuming you can speak without leaping at me.”

 

Inuyasha's left hand held Tetsusaiga's sheathe close to his hip. “Feh! What do you want, Sesshie? Out with it.”

 

Kagome groaned to herself and Miroku tensed at her side. Sometimes Inuyasha tried to pick fights without meaning to. Or was he liberally trying to provoke his older brother?

 

Kaede and Sango peeked out of the hut and stepped out to guard near Kagome and the monk.

“What's going on?” Sango whispered. Kagome shrugged.

 

“You got me. Sesshomaru just showed up wanting to talk to Inuyasha,” she said. Her heart trembled, hoping there would be no bloodshed of her lover involved.

 

Kaede hmmphed and knelt down to rest herself. “Let's hope they both can take care of their actions,” she wisely commented. Miroku nodded his agreement.

 

Shippou peeked under the hut's flap and ran to hide under the futons stacked in the corner. No way was he going out while this was going on!

 

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha faced each other, sizing the other up.

Inuyasha keh'd and assumed an equally arrogant stance. It wasn't as regal as Sesshomaru's and the Lord growled at the hanyou's impertinence.

 

“What do you want, huh, Sessh? Cat got your tongue? Hurry it up already, we have places to go,” Inuyasha commanded. His thumb tapped Tetsusaiga's sheathe.

Sesshomaru unsheathed Tokujin in one fluid movement.

 

“Oh, it's going to be like that, huh? Keh!” Inuyasha unsheathed Tetsusaiga into his transformation fang. “Let's go, then!”

 

Kagome groaned, watching the brothers leap and clash steel in turns and jumps that would have been impressive to watch otherwise. She tensed and Sango crouched at her side, hoping to alleviate her worry. Kagome was too frightened.

 

Sesshomaru parried and aimed a slash meant for Inuyasha's neck. The hanyou ducked and leapt away, followed by his big brother. Inuyasha growled as they smacked blades, faces pressed close.

 

“Dammit, just say what you gotta say!” Inuyasha hissed. Sesshomaru knocked Tetsusaiga away from his face and knocked Inuyasha back ten feet.

 

“You and that human reek of each other,” he rumbled. Inuyasha snarled and swung a Kaze no Kizu at his brother. Sesshomaru easily evaded the blast.

 

“FEH! What's it to you?? You leave Kagome out of this!”

 

Kagome groaned and buried her face in her hands. Miroku and Sango met each other's eyes and nodded. So it was like that?

 

“Anyone with a drop of demon blood could tell you two have become infatuated with each other. I don't see a mark yet, brother,” Sesshomaru taunted. Inuyasha snarled and rushed in for another attack. Sesshomaru batted him away lazily.

 

Kagome shook her head as Inuyasha landed on his back, stunned.

 

“So what! She's mine, and you can't say anything!” Inuyasha leaped to his feet and readied his blade.

 

Sesshomaru knocked Tetsusaiga from his hand and kicked Inuyasha twenty feet. Inuyasha rolled a good ways and sprawled on his back, dented and bruised. He came to when Sesshomaru's boot was placed over his throat. Inuyasha spit and clawed at his brother's ankle.

 

Sesshomaru growled and pressed hard into Inuyasha's jugular. “You are unworthy of a mate and unworthy of passing on Father's blood. You should have died at birth and you should have died so Father's fang would not be tainted by your lack of experience. “

 

Inuyasha hissed and lolled his head to the side, catching sight of the rusted katana laying on its side in the grass, having lost its transformation. “What's it…to…you!”

 

Sesshomaru stepped down harder lazily. “Everything you do connects itself to me, because Father chose to mark that human woman. It is a mistake and you'll pay for it like he had.”

 

Inuyasha howled and sank his claws into his brother's pantleg, drawing blood through the white fabric. Sesshomaru stood still, then kicked him in the face. Inuyasha lay stunned and let go in his panic.

 

“And if you can't keep what is yours, I may be inclined to teach you a lesson and take it from you,” Sesshomaru commented offhand as he sheathed Tokujin and turned to walk away.

 

Inuyasha growled, holding his neck and wincing. His brother was always showing him up and showing him nothing but his backside! He sat up and growled. “She isn't an it and she's mine! Don't you touch her or I'll kill you…”

 

Sesshomaru smirked and kept walking. “My condolences.”

 

Kagome ran to Inuyasha's prone form and cradled his head in her lap. “Are you alright?” she asked quietly. Inuyasha laughed, one eye squeezed shut but the other taking in her worried face and tender fingers stroking his hair. He reached up to touch her face.

 

“Don't you worry, Kagome, I won't let anything harm you,” he promised and closed his eyes. Kagome sighed and hugged his head in her arms.

Miroku and Sango helped the hanyou up and limp to Kaede's hut despite his protests that he was fine. Kagome just gave both of them a look to get him inside to be bandaged and she went hunting for Tetsusaiga. She found the rusty thin blade and held it gingerly by the hilt, carrying it to Inuyasha so he could house it in it's sheathe.

 

Shippou hopped out from under the futons and took in Inuyasha's scrapes and the bruise on his throat. He helped Kaede fetch bandages and the first aid kit from Kagome's yellow backpack without a word of complaint. Inuyasha wasn't looking too good but he smiled whenever Kagome was near. When Kagome took over, he closed his eyes in pleasure.

 

Sango and Miroku sidled up to each other to take that in. Inuyasha was acting content as a puppy now. What had happened between them both and why did it seem to make the elder inu brother fly into an apparent rage? That man showed no emotion, but his actions indicated he was angry.

`They reek of each other?' Sango thought. He also said something about mating marks…. Does Kagome…. Want to be marked by Inuyasha? Kagome's hands were gentle as she tended her protector, and her expression was slightly worried. Inuyasha wasn't complaining about the antiseptic hurting, nor that she was binding him too tightly. They seemed at ease with each other.

 

`They're going to bond, and they're growing to listen to each other anyway,' Sango realized. Her family were experts in the ways of exterminating youkai, but that didn't mean they didn't know certain rites or acts of youkai species. How lucky for Kagome-chan. If only her houshi-sama would get his act together! Sango stiffened when Miroku put an arm around her…but relaxed when his hand rested on her back instead of lower.

 

Sango blushed and turned to look at him. Maybe he finally realized that's what she needed…. that she needed to open up and be near him instead of…. Sango stiffened as his hand settled on her rear and rubbed softly.

 

“Houshi-sama!!” she screamed in anger, and clobbered him over the head with Kagome's tea- kettle. Miroku sighed in self-examination.

 

“That's lovely almost every time,” he murmured. Sango howled and stalked to sit on the opposite end of the hut. Kaede raised her eyebrow and handed Kagome another bandage. Kagome was trying not to study the sparkling atmosphere between her friends while Inuyasha grinned openly. Go for it, man! His demeanor seemed to cheer at the monk.

 

Shippou only shook his head. He could take a sample of what Inuyasha was doing lately! Inuyasha curled his lip and smiled at Kagome as she bent over his face to regard the boot-shaped bruise on his throat. `Later' he seemed to promise. She blushed and bent her head to hide her face with her hair.

 

“So, are we moving out now or what?” Shippou commented. Sango seconded the opinion and everyone gathered supplies and weapons. Inuyasha stood and slide Tetsusaiga's sheathe through his hakama ties. He held his hand down for Kagome and helped her to her feet.

 

Kaede chuckled as Miroku commented loudly on their lovey stares and they all left the hut, laughing and talking. She wished the two young adults the best for their future.

“So, Inuyasha, you didn't seem to mind Kagome-sama's bandaging you this time,” Miroku purred, holding his priest's staff to his shoulder. Sango shook her head at his impertinence. That man just wanted everything not pertaining to them out in the open didn't he?

 

Kagome blushed, as they walked along. Inuyasha sighed and tucked his hands into his wide sleeves. “What's it to you, Miroku? She does a good job.”

 

Miroku raised an eyebrow askew. “Ah, but you seemed especially under her spell today. Is there perhaps…something you want to tell us?”

 

Kagome slowed down to meet Sango's stride and let the two men argue it amongst their selves. “Miroku-sama is sure concerned for us,” she tried to laugh it off. Sango wasn't laughing though.

 

“Er…Sango-chan, why are you looking at me like that?” she asked nervously. Shippou darted up to pounce on Sango's shoulder for a ride, looking at her curiously. Humans couldn't smell their mingled scent! How did she know anyway?

 

“Kagome-chan…. perhaps are you and Inuyasha growing…closer lately?” Kagome blushed scarlet red and coughed.

 

Inuyasha was at her side in a flash. “Kagome! Are you all right? Do you need some water? Say something!” he howled. Sango's eyebrow raised at the kneejerk reaction and looked at the two of them.

 

Kagome caught her breath and waved her hand. “I'm okay, Inuyasha!” she wheezed, smiling for him though. “Really, just something caught in my throat…” She waited for Miroku to grab Inuyasha up to grill him for details and turned to her friend.

 

“Er well..I guess you could say that….” Closer if you mean hip to hip and nothing in between, yup you got it, Sango. “We're…Inuyasha wants us to be mated…and I do too…” she confessed shyly. Sango smiled and clasped her friend's hand.

 

“That is so…. oh Kagome-chan…I admit, I'm envious of you,” she whispered. Kagome brightened and smiled.

 

“Thank you, Sango-chan! I really needed you to be happy for us… it's just so….I feel stronger than ever at his side. I feel like I could take on Naraku with my bare hands!” she clapped her hands together and ahead of them Inuyasha's ears stood straight up, sensing a purifying element.

 

Sango laughed and touched her friend's shoulder. “You are a miko after all, he doesn't stand a chance against you. Just be careful or you'll get too strong!”

 

Over the next few hills, Sesshomaru led his ragtag followers back to the West. Over Jaken's insufferable squawking and Rin's humming and singing, his ears flicked to catch anything from Inuyasha's group. The soft words of the strangely clothed miko were what reached him and he frowned to himself.

His brother didn't deserve her.

After a healthy youkai encounter and victory, the Inu-tachi decided to stop at the next village for baths and sake.

“I'll get us set up at that lord's house!” Miroku promised only to be brained by Sango in the next instant. She dragged him off by the ear and Kagome giggled. If Miroku-sama likes that, then those two are set.

 

“Oi, Kagome, you gonna buy the sake?” Inuyasha asked. Kagome turned to him, smiling. “Of course I will…Sango seems to be preoccupied.”

 

Sango was currently screaming in the monk's face. Miroku didn't seem to mind it at all, staying near to her any way he could. The stance reminded her of the silly arguments she and Inuyasha used to have. Shippou hopped in front of Inuyasha as Kagome stepped aside to stop at the vendors stall to buy two jugs of the drink.

 

“How come you guys are getting that burning water? I can't have any of it!” Shippou wailed, upset. Inuyasha looked down at the sniffling foxcub and gave him a coin of the group's money.

 

“Oi, get some sumiyaki and enjoy it!” he gruffly said. Shippou bounced up and down, cradling his coin close.

 

“Okay! Meet you guys back at the campfire!” he promised and ran off to the stall. Kagome came back to Inuyasha, handing him a jug.

“Shouldn't we go along with Shippou?” she worried. This was a human village and most wouldn't find a kitsune visiting amusing. And unlike Inuyasha, he couldn't defend himself.

Inuyasha put an arm around Kagome and kissed her forehead. “I can see him from here. Is Sango done mauling Miroku yet?”

 

Appalled, Kagome turned to look, sure she was going to see something that she shouldn't' but was almost relieved to see Miroku with a few bumps on the head and fully clothed.

 

“Yes, it looks like she's calmed down…” she waved to Sango who waved back, and dragged Miroku off in the direction of their campsite.

 

“Looks like she's okay…. They're heading back to the fire,” Kagome murmured. Inuyasha snuffed and waited for Shippou to bounce back, eating his meat greedily.

 

“Uhhhhhm thanks Inuyasha!” he chirped around a mouthful. Inuyasha snuffed but smiled. “Oi, runt, are you okay taking this back to those two?” he set one of the jugs of sake next to the kitsune.

 

Shippou finished his meal and hauled it up in his arms. “Ulp! Yeah I got it! See you back there!” he waddled off and disappeared into the shadows.

 

Kagome giggled, and handed the last jug to her lover. “Let's visit that bathhouse,” she smiled. The two were so caught up in each other they didn't notice the way inside said bathhouse was blocked until they literally ran into the owner.

 

“Uh…hey…we wanna take a bath,” Inuyasha said gruffly, confused. Kagome smiled at the owner innocently.

 

The bathhouse owner crossed his massive arms. “Sorry, but we don't allow youkai in here,” he said simply. Inuyasha gasped, his brows narrowing and Kagome took hold of his arm.

 

“He isn't youkai! He's hanyou and we can pay…” she fished through her pocket for some coins to show him. The owner shook his head stubbornly.

 

“Sorry, but you'll drive off business, missy. Take your dog away and leave me in peace.”

 

“D-dog??”

 

Kagome held Inuyasha's arm captive and tugged on him. “Okay, thanks anyway..” she led Inuyasha away from the small crowd that had gathered to see the exchange, walking him back towards the forest. Inuyasha fumed silently, then muttered under his breathe.

 

Kagome walked them all the way back to the campsite. Inuyasha stood there, mumbling angrily and caught in his own self-pity.

“What's wrong, Kagome-sama?” Miroku asked. Sango had knocked a tooth or two loose so it came out sounding rather askewed. Sango sat at his side polishing Hiraikotsu. Shippou was asleep on Kagome's sleeping bag, leaving the adults to the sake.

 

Kagome sighed and took up her backpack. “The owner of the bathhouse wouldn't let us in. Inuyasha…” she gestured and let it hang. They could get the meaning easily.

“Oooh….” Miroku murmured, sipping at his cup of sake. “There's a pond that ways back, Inuyasha. You can bathe there.” Sango ignored him.

 

Inuyasha kept his eyes on his feet, muttering angrily. Kagome handed him a jug of sake and lead him away. “We'll just take that bath alone,” she said sweetly. Inuyasha's ears wilted and he followed her quietly.

 

The pond was beautiful. The waters were bathed in moonlight and the grasses on the banks were lush and soft. Kagome gave a cry of delight at the sight and tugged on her fuku top. “Come on, Inuyasha, the water looks great!”

Inuyasha looked at her dully, noticing the inches of creamy flesh she was exposing just for him. He was still hurt from the man's comment but he was still shy to touch his intended because of his anger for her seeing that.

 

“Heh Kagome…” he muttered, hands twitching. Kagome took his hands and helped him remove her bra and she kissed his fingertips.

“Cheer up…this turned out to be a better idea anyway,” she purred. Inuyasha stared at her, and stammered.

 

“Hey, you're acting like you're plain in heat and…. Ah!” Kagome's hands opened his haori top expertly and she pressed herself against his front. Her nipples brushed his chest and Inuyasha gulped audibly.

“That is…ah Kagome… you feel so good,” he gasped, hands roaming up and down her bare back. Kagome kissed his shoulder and rose on her tiptoes to kiss his chin. They were pressed together so close that Kagome could feel his growing arousal and she rubbed against it.

 

Inuyasha tilted his head back and groaned. Her slender hands worked between them and untied his bow, pushing down at his hakama until they pooled around his ankles. Tetsusaiga dropped to the ground next to them and Inuyasha stared lustily at his lover, aching and open to her gaze. Kagome's hands circled down, around his hips and lower, one finger touched the tip of his shaft…. and she lifted her hands to push him in the water.

 

“Wah!!” Inuyasha fell in backwards, going straight to the bottom in shock. He scrambled for the surface, clawing his hair out of his eyes. “Kagome! Why'd ya… oof!” In the time she had shoved him in, she had worked off her skirt and panties, and she was in the water, pressing herself to him in a deep kiss. Inuyasha stumbled backwards and held her close, murmuring her name.

 

Kagome broke the kiss and giggled, splashing water at his face. Inuyasha roared in retaliation and pushed her under. They chased each other giggling and screaming, soaked through. Inuyasha then grabbed Kagome and kissed her hungrily, turned on by the game. Kagome sank in his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist, rising up in the water. Inuyasha panted and strainted to thrust into her but she stopped him.

 

“Come here…. I want to try this,” she whispered, tugging on his ears to carry her to the pond's edge. Inuyasha stiffly slogged to the bank and deposited her down. Kagome tugged on his hands and made him sit. Her lips ghosted over his chest and stomach and worked lower as Inuyasha's fingers twitched. He watched in surprise as she touched his erection with lips and tongue before she took him completely in her mouth.

It was maddening. It was pleasurable. The muscles in Inuyasha's flat stomach strained and his hips arched, wanting release from the pressure as Kagome's head bobbed rhythmically in his lap. His head tilted and he gasped, voice strained as she rubbed his base with her hand while she sucked. All too soon his seed gushed out.

 

Kagome wiped her mouth and nuzzled his thigh as Inuyasha panted. “A friend from school told me about that,” she confessed, smiling at the adoring expression on Inuyasha's face.

 

“Hell, if you learn that from skool, I don't care if you go!” he said eagerly. Kagome laughed and uncorked the sake jug, pouring herself a cup and sipping. Inuyasha took the jug and just took a swig from it. Kagome giggled and leaned into his chest, letting him warm her.

“I'd rather spill my seed inside you…” Inuyasha confessed, sipping hard at the sake jug. Kagome laughed at the blush the drink gave him and took the jug to pour herself some more.

 

“I just wanted to please you…. and it was fun,” she blushed, her face red from drink. Inuyasha laughed at her and licked her cheek.

 

“You smell and feel so good, Kagome….I'll have us mated soon enough,” his hands roamed over her and pushed her on her back. He kissed her sloppily and moved down to her breasts to nibble and lick. Kagome arched her back and sighed, then looked down when Inuyasha's head plopped on her chest and didn't move.

 

The sake jug lay on its side, a thin trickle spilling out onto the grass. He had drunk the whole thing pretty much by himself and it effected him quickly. Kagome giggled and hugged him to her letting her lover be her blanket.

 

End for now

 

Like it, hate it, send me a review! I loooove reviews….I think all authors do! Now some people may be wondering why I'm drawing out him marking her, but I don't want it to be too easy. But there hasn't been much interaction since chapter one, so I decided to throw in a little treat. Smutiness at its best, hopefully.

And I find the term “brained” to be extremely humourous. And I could for the life of me not find a term for food they usually buy from vendors. So I threw in sumiyaki and hoped no Japanese person would brain ME for it (laugh).
