Inuyasha carried Kagome to one of his secret haunts, a small clearing of lush grass surrounded by dense forest. It was a safe place where he came when he needed to think. Gently, he set Kagome in a crook between two large tree roots where she could rest herself against the trunk. He had often pictured her lying there. The silver bark of the tree was almost as smooth as her skin. The grass, a deep shade of blue and green mixed together, was cool and soft against the soles of his feet. To one side of the clearing was a small spring with water was so pure that one could not tell the depth of it. He was certain that Kagome would love it.

 

Kagome was worn out from the journey and when she awoke, the spring looked enticing. Besides, Inuyasha's kimono had a pungent sweet odor to it that she didn't quite enjoy. The thought of a bath in the spring only served to make her more desperate for it.

 

"Inuyasha...would it be alright if I bathed in that spring over there?”

 

Inuyasha knew well her penchant for bathing and nodded his assent. Of course, that had been one of the reasons for bringing her to this spot. Searching for a good place in which to sit with his back turned toward her, he finally decided to simply stretch out on the grass. Relaxing for the first time since the battle with Naraku's demon, he breathed deeply, letting fresh air fill his lungs then released the stale are along with all the stress of the past few days.

 

'She has been through a lot. I should wait to ask her what happened. Besides, I'm too tired right now.' Content to soak up the sunshine and relax on the cool grass, he sighed and fell fast asleep.

 

'Mm. Inuyasha is being unusually silent. He must be tired. Normally, he would be finding something to grumble about by now.'

 

Kagome was relieved to get out of the blood-covered robe. The spring felt so good and she sighed when her body sank beneath the surface. She had almost forgotten how wonderful the hot water felt. Soaking in it had always had such a soothing effect on her muscles. Holding her breath and placing her right hand to her left side in order to examine the spot where her wounds once were, she felt no pain. Upon looking, she discovered that there wasn't even a scar.

 

'Wow. That is amazing.'

 

She scanned the area for her bag, the faithful depository of all her needs, but couldn't find it. 'I may not have my bag, but I can still scrub. All I need is a little moss or something,' she thought while searching the edge of the spring. `Ah hah!' she mentally exclaimed when she found just the right thing to fill her needs.

 

After she had finished her bath, she realized that there was nothing clean with which to cover herself. This dilemma would require some thought. 'It looks like I'm going to have to bite the bullet.'

 

"Inuyasha...Inuyasha," she called. Nothing. 'Good, he must really be out of it.'

 

After brushing the water from her skin, she stood in the sun, letting it warm and dry her body. It felt good to be out of the confines of clothing. `Maybe…being nude is not so bad. There's no one around.'

 

With careful stealth, she padded her way to Inuyasha and knelt down beside him. As deep in sleep as he seemed to be, she didn't see any reason to deny herself a little perusal. He looked so sweet with his features softened by sleep; almost like those of a child. `Of course, all men appear innocent and gentle when they were sleeping. After being around Inuyasha, I know better than to think that! But...I could probably get away with stroking that gorgeous hair of his right now.' Kagome held back a snicker. `He'll never know!'

 

 

Her fingers tingled with anticipation, and that was exactly what she did. It felt heavenly, soft and sleek, the strands shimmering, opalescent in the sun. She studied his face while she enjoyed his thick hair. His usual scowl had disappeared. Slowly and with care to avoid waking him, she brushed the strands of hair away from his cheek. What she wouldn't give to feel his warmth with her lips. She had long desired to have contact of a more personal nature. Though she did feel a bit guilty that she was molesting him, this might be the only opportunity she would ever be awarded.

 

'Maybe I could even get away with touching his ears. He's so picky about it!'

 

With his face turned away from the spring, she could only play with the right ear; the other was out of reach. Holding her breath, she hesitantly reached for the fuzzy appendage, fingers out-stretched. Delicately, she took his ear between her fingers and thumb and with a satisfied smile on her face, gently stroked it in an upward motion, along the direction that the short, fuzzy strands grew.

 

'If only he would let me love on him like this when he is awake.'

 

Inuyasha, half comatose, could feel something rubbing his ear. It felt good and he was content to lie there enjoying it. 'Mmmmm. So good. If only it wasn't a dream and Kagome was the one giving me such a simple pleasure.'

 

He slightly rolled his head, freeing the other ear with a slight twitch that invited more attention.

 

Kagome caught her breath and held it. Inuyasha had not opened his eyes, but he had stirred and sighed. A slight smile of contentment briefly crossed his features. Kagome exhaled and allowed herself a small sigh as well. His breathing indicated that he was still sleeping. He seemed to have liked it, so she reached across to find the other ear and would have giggled if she knew it wouldn't wake him.

 

Pulling away, she waited for him to go back into a deep slumber. In her desire to touch him, she had completely forgotten about her nudity. Once being reminded, she decided to ignore it when other ventures came to mind. When she felt it was safe, she rose and walked around him to sit down on the grass cross-legged just above his head.

 

It was safe, right? Should she? Would he mind? The last time she had startled him, he had effectively killed her. However, he hadn't been himself then. He didn't even remember, and she understood that it wasn't in his natural state of mind that he had hurt her. She knew that going to his violent brother had to have been the most difficult thing he had ever done. `After everything he has been through, and the great lengths he has gone in order to save me, doesn't he deserve some attention, even if it takes giving it to him while he sleeps?' Ever so carefully, she slid both hands beneath his head. With gentle movements, she carefully placed it in her lap then slid forward a bit to make him more comfortable.

 

'If he only knew how much I love, need and want him, maybe he wouldn't be such a jerk.' Kagome tenderly stroked his bangs away from his eyes and cheeks. 'He has no idea how beautiful he really is.'

 

She felt a lump rising in her throat. His past had been so terrible that he had no idea just how attractive she found him. If only she could express that when he was awake. It was safe. He was still asleep. She could say what she wanted and he would never know.

 

"Inuyasha," she whispered, "I love you." It was as simple as that.

 

Inuyasha was still enjoying having his ears caressed when it suddenly stopped. 'Damn! The good dreams don't last long enough.'

 

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he could feel his head being shifted and his hair being tugged just a little bit. Suddenly, it occurred to him that he was not asleep. `This isn't a dream, but the only thing I smell is Kagome.'

 

Curious, he did not betray the fact that he was awake and aware. `I will only know what is going on if I remain still.'

 

Soft fingers brushed the hair from his face. 'Kagome...is that really you? It had better be or I've got an ass to kick!'

 

Then the most precious words of all drifted into his ears.

 

"Inuyasha...I love you."

 

His heart stopped and he thought it would burst. He knew that Kagome had feelings for him. However, he had no idea that she felt as he did. Slightly opening his eyes, he watched a teardrop falling to his forehead. Kagome was leaning over him. And, not only that, she had intentionally drawn him into her lap. Gasping, he noticed that she was... naked! That threw him into a fit of confusion. She never would have allowed him to see her this way.

 

'What do I say? I don't want to always be screwing things up. I know. What would Kouga do? She seemed to like what I said to her before. Maybe that would work?' Unsure of her reaction and nervous as hell, he decided to reply in a way he had never done before. After all, he had been crossing boundaries recently. `Why not now?' For her to know that he truly meant what he was about to say, he stared up at her, eyes wide open.

 

"Kagome, my little porcelain miko, I love you, too."

 

Hearing himself saying exactly what he felt made him feel strange. It was as though someone else was speaking. It felt…weird and he could feel the flush of embarrassment flush his cheeks. Despite that, he meant it. From the time he had discovered that she cared for him, he had allowed her to wind her way into his heart, yet, he had been too afraid to express it. How could he when rejection had been most of what he'd known all his life? But Kagome, Kagome was different from anyone he'd ever known.

 

Kagome gasped, a hundred thoughts running together in her mind. 'Gods! I didn't know his ears were that sensitive! He's awake! At least, he had better be after what he said!'

 

Fear of heartbreak squeezed her chest. She didn't remember him calling her "my little porcelain miko" as she had lain at Kaede's…mostly dead. Her heart had been safe, until now. As long as he hadn't known, as long as she hadn't spoken it, he held no claim on her heart. Now, by all rights, he had her where he wanted her and there was no backing out. She could never allow her fear to cause her to reject him. She loved him and that was all there was to it.

 

'Did he really mean it?' she thought as she gazed into the warmth of those unbelievably beautiful golden eyes.

 

There was no doubt that he was awake and he had never lied to her before, except of course, when he had said that he didn't like her scent. Nevertheless, he had admitted that it was a lie. However, in such an important matter as this, she was almost one hundred percent certain that he had not lied. It would have been much too difficult for him to say it.

 

She pulled her legs together as he sat up, tucking them beside her before he had time to turn and face her.

 

When Inuyasha finally saw her, he could only stare in amazement. Her raven locks, so black that they shone blue in the sun, carelessly fell around her delicate, white shoulders and partially covered her perfect breasts. She looked as though she were a life size fairy. `No, even more beautiful.' Others may have thought her to appear ordinary, but never him. Never in his life had he seen anyone so beautiful.

 

Kagome lowered her eyes, wondering what was going through his mind. Leaning toward her, he gently brushed his cheek against hers and pressed his lips to her face just in front of her earlobe. He drew away from her, gazing intently into her eyes then slowly rose, turned and walked toward the spring. Keeping his back to her, he shed his clothing and lowered himself into the pool of water.

 

Inuyasha did not want to embarrass himself. Besides, he was filthy. Kagome's scent had betrayed her and awoke in him an arousal that he didn't know quite how to deal with right now. Even this far away, her scent was getting stronger. The last thing he wanted to do was offend her. Kaede's beads would knock him two feet into the ground with just one "sit". Besides, he wasn't a lecher. Unlike others, he could beat back those thoughts...with great effort. It was embarrassing to say the least. He moved further out into the pool, fighting the urge to look back and gaze upon Kagome's naked beauty. Sliding his head beneath the water, careful not to bring his ears under the surface, he wondered what was going to happen next. `What is supposed to happen next?' He was well and truly confused by Kagome's behavior.

 

Kagome let out the breath she had been holding for what seemed a lifetime. He hadn't yelled at her impropriety and had even shown some affection. A thought occurred to her and she drew in a sharp breath. `Why did he walk away like that? Is he rejecting me? He was in need of a bath, after all.' She could hope that it was the reason he had left. Still, he hadn't said a thing. He had a slight blush on his face. So, maybe he was embarrassed?

 

'I had been stroking his hair and ears and he woke up in my naked lap. Between my scent and behavior, could it be that he was aroused and didn't want to be embarrassed? Gods! I was having so much fun playing that I had forgotten I was naked. Well, I won't act like a child anymore. I want him and I'm going to have him!'

 

Kagome rose and, full of purpose, strode toward the pool. If there was one thing about her, it was that she didn't play around when she made up her mind.

 

Inuyasha was trying to clean his hair, trailing it through the water in wide sweeping strokes. Again, he lowered himself just far enough to keep his ears from getting wet. When he resurfaced, Kagome was standing right in front of him, still naked. There was no help for it; his eyes widened and his jaw dropped. But then, a frown marred his visage as her serious countenance made him nervous.

 

"Inuyasha, would you let me help you wash that mass of hair? I'm sure it's hard for you to do." She had always wanted to run her fingers through his hair. Today, she would be bold. There would be no more tiptoeing around each other. As far as she was concerned, that was over.

 

"Uh...yeah, I guess so...,” Inuyasha stammered, surprised at her request, but more so that she hadn't `sat' him.

 

Kagome moved behind him, but not before he noticed that her nipples had responded to the cool water.

 

'Down boy,' he told himself, not wanting Kagome to use the dreaded `s' word.

 

Kagome spread Inuyasha's hair out behind him, running her fingers through it until she was satisfied that the long strands clean. That left the top of his head and it was no secret that he didn't like water in his ears. She moved back around to face him, intently looking up into his eyes before she cupped a handful of water with which to rinse his bangs.

 

When he lowered his head so that she could reach the crown, she had brought her arms up over his head and he found himself staring directly at her breasts. He could even see a tiny tuft of black hair beneath the water. Inuyasha closed his eyes, hoping to control his arousal, but Kagome was not helping him. In an effort to reach the top of his head, she had pressed herself up against him. At her gentle touch, his control was quickly waning. For a fleeting moment, he wondered if she was purposefully teasing him.

 

Kagome relished being able help Inuyasha, to touch him without being growled at, to tease him. So many times, riding on his back for the sake of speed, she had been aroused. She knew that he had to have smelled her scent, but he had never once acknowledged it. It was his turn to suffer. Reaching up to clean his ears, she intentionally pressed herself against him. She could feel him hard against her thigh and she closed her eyes, aching to have him inside of her, to stretch her swelling core. It was so new; this aching, almost painful, need had never been so much torment.

 

Not having the fortitude to control his desire, Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her, stroking her back and sides. Then he pulled her back just enough to gaze into her eyes, his intense gaze openly displaying the hunger of his need. Despite being in the water, he could see, as well as smell, her desire. He had smelled her desire many times in the past. The back of his fire rat robe had often carried the scent and moisture of it. However, he couldn't ever know for sure if that desire was for him or for someone else that she might have been thinking about, someone like Kouga perhaps. There were times when he was barely able to restrain himself. It had made him angry when she couldn't see why he had been in such a foul mood. He had been putting every ounce of his strength into being `good'.

 

"Kagome…do you really want to do this?" he asked in all seriousness. "You know what it will mean."

 

Were they to take this step, he would never give her up, no matter the consequences and she needed to understand that, to understand that where ever she would go, he would be there, whether on her side of the well, five hundred years into the future, or in his time, the feudal era. And it would always be thus, for her entire life.

 

He searched the deep violet pools of her eyes, hoping that she would accept him as her mate. Anyone would be lucky to have her. Not only was she beautiful, but she was strong and powerful, an asset to any man. His anticipation of her response was killing him and his heart fell by inches, more like feet, as the silence grew longer, and longer.

 

`I'm a hanyou. Who could possibly want me?' he berated himself for daring to hope.

 

Kagome thought of the implications. As mates in Inuyasha's world, he would have more power over her and could even try to prevent her from going home. It was not like the modern world where women owned themselves.

 

"Inuyasha...may I ask you a couple of things? Will you ever stop me from going back to my time? And, will you promise to be by my side, always?"

 

The golden-eyed hanyou regarded her with concern. He wanted her so badly, but he never wanted her to leave him as she had always been doing. He knew that the future was her home and that she had responsibilities there. However, she could always refuse to come back. If she was his mate, then his world must become her home. As long as she could understand that, he would be satisfied. Yes, he wanted her, but only in a way that satisfied both of their needs. Inuyasha stood up, straightened his back, and pulled his shoulders up, trying to appear as commanding and powerful as possible.

 

"I will not stop you from going home as long as you promise that you will always return to me. Your home will be here."

 

Kagome smiled and threw her arms around his neck, kissing him with passion. "I will always come back to you."

 

Inuyasha pulled his face away to scrutinize her then leaned his head forward again.

 

"And I will always be by your side, Kagome," he whispered in her ear then kissed the side of her neck while his heart swelled in his chest.

 

After hungrily pressing her lips to his, Kagome kissed his temple and his cheek then wrapped her legs around his waist. Kagome gasped when his hard, throbbing shaft slide along the outside of her sex, causing her inner core to clench in want.

 

Feeling the pressure she was applying to his manhood, Inuyasha groaned, tipped back his head and closed his eyes as pleasure shot through him. Bringing his face down to look at her, he wrapped one arm around her shoulders while reaching the other under her soft yet firm bottom. After carrying her from the water, Inuyasha knelt and lowered her to the plush grass. Her dark raven hair blended and contrasted with his locks of white. With her body beneath him, she slid her legs down, entwining them with his while she let go of his neck and massaged his back.

 

Nose to nose, they drank up the expression of passion in each other's eyes. They kissed deep and hard, the way only two people in love can kiss.

 

Inuyasha began kissing his way to her breasts. When he took her stiff left nipple in his mouth and began suckling and nipping at it, she uttered an absolutely musical note. . `Perhaps I won't do too badly on this first try.'

 

Another moan made Inuyasha's desire burn hotter as he kissed his way to her other breast. This time when she mewled, her stomach pulled away from him while her hips lifted against his throbbing shaft.

 

Inuyasha could feel her fingernails begin to dig into his back. 'I like that,' he thought, pleased with being able to bring her such pleasure. Of course, the action also was the cause of new heat rushing through his body and swelling of his already hardened length.

 

Drawn by her scent, he kissed and licked his way down her taut belly. While he slid down her tingling body, Kagome reached for his ears and began to rub the base. When Inuyasha let out a soft growl, she couldn't help the small smile that flitted across her face.

 

For a moment, he pressed his head into her delicate hands, flexing his ears and enjoying her gentle touch. He then gazed with wonderment at the red, swollen petals of her womanhood. Kagome saw his wonder and smiled at his curiosity. Of course, he'd never before had the opportunity to see this secret area of a woman's body. His fingertips gently touched and explored her petals, taking great care with his claws, especially now since they seemed to have lengthened with his passion.

 

Inuyasha could feel Kagome still stroking the ears that were flushed with his impassioned blood. She was wet with the same passion he had smelled so many times before. He breathed in her fresh scent and lowered his face into her flower. He wasn't quite sure what he was doing, he only knew that he had to taste her. As long as she didn't stop him, he would have whatever he wanted. He closed his eyes, slowly lapping up her juices and savoring the flavor. When Kagome's mewls grew to a near cry, Inuyasha's eyes widened.

 

"Did I hurt you Kagome?" he quickly asked.

 

"No, Inuyasha. Don't stop,” she panted, her chest heaving.

 

He gazed in wonder at the rose tinted cheeks and glazed eyes. This was unlike anything that he had ever imagined and he wanted to see more. Inuyasha took her soft petals into his mouth, tugging on them gently to get every bit of flavor he could, hoping that she was enjoying herself just as much as he. Inuyasha could feel his own fluid dripping down his thighs, indicting his readiness to take her for his own.

 

He lifted himself over her and studied her face. It was flushed the color of a dark rose. Her half-lidded eyes encouraged him to continue. Brilliant golden orbs intensely stared into her dark violet eyes, looking for her acquiescence. Hope sparkled in his eyes and her gaze warmed, signaling her final approval for him to take her as his mate.

 

Kagome's heart swelled at seeing the desire in Inuyasha's eyes, the flush in his handsome hanyou face and his hesitation to take her. His fangs seemed to have lengthened, but they only served to make her desire him even more. She knew what he needed and reached her arms around his back. Pulling him down to her, she lifted her face to his and parted her lips, an open invitation. The desire to have him inside of her was so great that she could barely prevent herself from grabbing him by the hips and pulling him to her.

 

Inuyasha closed his eyes and covered her lips with his own then sucked her sweet juices into his mouth while his tongue probed every nook of her mouth.

 

'Now she will be mine to keep.'

 

Kagome lifted her hips to welcome him, rocking forward to allow his hot, swollen member to lower to the entrance of her flower. She drew a sharp breath and shivered as the length of his shaft slowly slid into position.

 

Inuyasha hesitated, not sure how to go about this without hurting her. Kagome looked up and saw the concern in his eyes. Softly, she spoke to him.

 

"It's okay, Inuyasha. The first time always hurts some. I'll be alright."

 

In order to help him, and to help herself to him, she reached down to place her hands on his butt cheeks. The skin was silky smooth under her fingers, but she could feel the tense, taut muscles underneath. In one measured motion, she pulled him down while lifting her own hips.

 

Inuyasha, closing his eyes and lowering his head to her neck, followed her lead. Every muscle in his body tensed while he slid into her unbelievably tight passage and moaned. The wet heat drove him mad and he wondered if he had died and gone to heaven.

 

"Ka...g'me...," Inuyasha gasped in a harsh whisper.

 

Kagome clenched her jaw shut, preventing a small scream of pain from escaping her lips. It had hurt, but not as much as she had expected. With her modern education, she knew that the pain wouldn't last. It also helped that this was something that she had desired for a very long time.

 

It was fortunate that Inuyasha lay as still as she tried to adjust to his length and girth. She shuddered while she held him down against her while weak human fingernails dug into his skin.

 

Inuyasha could feel her breasts rise and fall against him while her breathing intensified. His sensitive ears had heard the muffled scream. For her, he waited to see if she wanted to continue. Hurting her was something that he wouldn't have chosen, but it couldn't be helped. It didn't mean that he should cause her more by losing control now.

 

Finally, Kagome breathed out and released him. Sliding her hands along his back to rest on his shoulder blades, she let him know that he could continue.

 

Anticipation made his head burn and spin. He rose up while Kagome slid her hands out from under his arms and placed them around his face, drawing him to her for a gentle kiss. Their kiss turned passionate while they pressed their hips together, their two bodies attempting to merge into one.

 

Carefully sliding in and out of her hot passage, Inuyasha made love to his new mate. Making gentle love to Kagome, he began with long slow strokes. The first movements were made with tender care, then, as his control began to fray, they gradually increased to powerful thrusts that shoved her forward against the grass. Her walls were slick with her juices, hot and tight. As her core squeezed him, the friction was nearly overwhelming. He could have never imagined such a pleasurable sensation.

 

“S'good,” he groaned into her hair.

 

Each time he buried deep within her, Kagome found her hips automatically tipping up to meet him, searching out that sensation of fullness. With each incredible, jarring thrust, her desire grew to unbelievable heights. She felt as though he were not only filling her body, but her soul as well.

 

It overtook her and Inuyasha watched, fascinated while her eyelids slid lower. Her breathing had become rapid and raspy. The heaving of her chest seemed to match the timing of his thrusts. Her responses to his first experience with pleasing her shook him to the very core of his being and he was drawn into an abyss of want, need, desire, and passion. She overwhelmed his senses.

 

With eyes shut tight, Kagome's hands clutched at his long silver hair and she threw her head back in ecstasy. Out of control, her body writhed beneath him. There was no comparison to the sensation of being filled and having some spot within her that made her walls snap around him then quiver. The more he grazed the sensitive area, the tighter she became until it was nearly painful. As his thrusts increased in power and depth, she felt him bump the back of her passage. It sent burning rivers across her skin and tingles through her body. She was nearly blind in her ach for something to release the tightly woven ache.

 

"Aihh! Inuyasha, please, please," she nearly shouted. She needed relief that only he could give her.

 

A small scream escaped her lips before she began haltingly, in the rhythm of his motion, calling his name. Her skin burned and her abdomen was wound as tight as a bowstring. It felt as though her body were about to snap and explode into a million points of light. Something built within her, something uncontrollable, large, and burning. Her muscles felt so tense, so tight. When his thrusts became almost unbearable rapid, she suddenly burst like a damn breaking.

 

"In... u... ya... shaaaaa!" Even with her eyes closed, the world spun and she became weightless with only the feel of Inuyasha's thrusts and her convulsing body to keep her grounded.

 

The clenching and quivering walls around Inuyasha's shaft, the pressure against the head when he shoved into Kagome's body, had burned through his veins and flesh. The friction created when he pressed through her slick, hot walls, drove him nearly insane. His mind was completely lost in the sensation.

 

When Inuyasha felt the grip and tug of her release, his heart swelled with accomplishment. He had pleased her in a way that no one else ever would. How could she not want him if she would allow herself to be this freedom? This brought him to the edge of completion.

 

“Kagome,” groaned Inuyasha with emotions so intense that it hurt. Finally. To be accepted, to be wanted to this degree, burned through his mind and body. His soul was in heaven.

 

She held onto his strong supple body, moaning while the contractions faded. Increasing his speed and depth until he too convulsed in waves of ecstasy, Inuyasha devoured her mouth and shot his white, hot seed deep within her body. Moans, deep and guttural, vibrated through his chest when he realized that Kagome was once again rhythmically squeezing him tight. The effect on him was nothing short of spectacular. His world disappeared in a burst of multicolored and he felt that he was dying. Nothing could have prepared him for it. He was flying and at the same time sinking.

 

Panting, Inuyasha collapsed on top of her where they held each other in a world without time, a place without substance.

 

As their bodies calmed, the sun had drifted down below the horizon and a warm breeze brushed across their naked skin. Holding tight to each other, they rolled onto their sides with Kagome's leg trapped between his. They shared a deep quiet kiss. Inuyasha laid back into the luscious grass and pulled Kagome onto his shoulder. As they drifted into sleep, he whispered,

 

“Mine."

 

At that whispered declaration, Kagome smiled and allowed herself to join him in peaceful slumber.

 

Inuyasha suddenly awoke. Something wasn't right. He could feel it in his bones, scent it on the air. So as not to wake Kagome, he gently extricated himself from her and grabbed Tetsusaiga. After standing, he scanned his clearing. A bluish white glow reflected off the pool of water. Tetsusiaga pulsed as he drew it from its sheath. Very quietly, he approached the spring, following the path of the reflection. Abruptly, he growled and clenched his fists.

 

'Kikyou's soul stealers!'
