InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kagome's Boom Box ❯ I Want Love (I Need a Miracle) ( Chapter 14 )

Kagome's Boombox

Part 14

They sat there quietly, relishing one another's warmth. Inu Yasha was perfectly still the entire time, fearing that the slightest movement could ruin this blissful moment. Kagome snuggled deeper into his embrace, brushing his cheek lightly with her own. Occasionally, she would graze his neck with her lips before planting a soft kiss on it.

As heavenly as it was, Inu Yasha continued to be plagued by anxieties. It was one thing to feel a bit heady over her scent from a distance, but it was overwhelming at such a close proximity. Worse yet, there was that hint of arousal to it, and that made Kagome's scent all the more overpowering. His mind wandered to more indecent imaginings. Two fluffy white ears stood up straight and on end, and he knew that another part of his body was reacting the same way.

I want a cup that overflows with love

Although it's not enough to fill my heart

I want a barrel full of love

Although I know it's not enough to fill my heart

Inu Yasha looked down at her as she rested her head on his shoulder. Shifting ever so slightly, he could just see where the flesh of her neck met that of her shoulder before the rest was obscured by the white sailor suit collar. He swallowed hard, licking his lips discreetly to stop himself from drooling.

It would be so easy to do it, to just let go and bite her, as it would be in his demonic nature to do, to bite her, mark her, make it official so that no one else could get her first. His lips curled back slowly, unsheathing the fangs within. A faint twinge of red passed over his eyes and was gone like a ripple in water; the Tetsusaiga alone had kept his mind intact.

I want a river full of love

But then I know the holes will still remain

I need an ocean full of love

Although I know the holes will still remain

Reluctantly and almost suddenly, he withdrew his fangs back into his mouth, the taste of blood leaking from a scratch caused from the hasty maneuver. It took some willpower to delicately push Kagome a bit off of him, just enough that he could see into her face. She looked up at him with glazed eyes, mildly curious, but thoroughly relaxed.

Even in her dreamy state, Kagome caught sight of the tiniest bit of blood on the corner of his mouth. She reached up with her fingers and touched it cautiously.

"You're hurt…" her words were barely a whisper and more of an inquisitive statement than an actual question.

Inu Yasha's face darkened, the color of his cheeks shifting as he hastily licked the telltale wound away. Now he had done it; she was going to ask what that blood drop had been about and he would have to give some stupid answer like accidentally biting himself. No, no more lies. Not this time, not ever again. He took in a deep breath, regretting doing so since more of her scent was now turmoiling his stomach.

And this Swiss-cheese heart knows

Only kindness can fill its holes

And love can dry my tears

As pain disappears

"Kagome…" Inu Yasha's voice wavered, low and forced.

She stared at him with the same eyes, listening intently. Absently, she reached up to scratch an itch on the side of her neck, nudging her collar just enough that more of her shoulder was exposed to the hanyou's sight.

Inu Yasha's hands moved from where they had rested while embracing her to her arms, gripping them firmly, but gently. As he stared at her, his fingers flexed, squeezing and loosening on her arms. In his mouth, concealed by pursed lips, his teeth clenched, resisting the impulses her innocent movements were stoking in him.

"Kagome…" his tone dropped an octave, deeper, almost like when he growled. His amber eyes locked with hers and didn't let go. "There are things… I… want to do…"

Inu Yasha paused, shaking his head to dispel the tension within. It seemed to work a little, briefly, but as soon as he looked straight at her again, the efforts seemed wasted.

"There are things…" he paused again. "I can't… not now…"

"Inu Yasha…" she breathed his name like a prayer.

"I want you now…" he swallowed hard. "but it's too soon… too fast…I can't… I won't push this on you…"

Kagome's eyes widened a bit, and she took in a short little gasp. His gaze was a pleading one, pleading to have her, pleading to stop things before they got too far, pleading, pleading like a sad little puppy. His ears even drooped a bit before swiveling easily to the side.

Again, she touched with her fingers the corner of his mouth where the blood had been, then stared into his slit pupils. Inu Yasha pushed his face more into her hand, much like a dog would, inviting her caresses.

"You… were going to bite me, weren't you?" she spoke calmly.

"I'm sorry…" he whispered, looking away. She cupped his face in her hands, turning his gaze back to her.

"What does it mean, Inu Yasha?" Kagome's tone remained calm.

"It means that… you'd be mine forever." Inu Yasha swallowed hard, his breathing heavier than before. "No one else could ever have you, no one, human or youkai. But Kagome, I could never, ever force you into making a decision like that! I know I can be a selfish bastard sometimes, but when it comes to something like this, something involving you--"

At this, Kagome silenced him by placing her fingers on his lips. A warm smile and light blush tinted her cheeks. She fiddled with the knot of her school blouse, loosening it before stretching the collar to one side, revealing her shoulder. Inu Yasha's eyes widened and his body tensed up, his ears standing straight up, realizing the implications of her gesture.

"If you promise there's no one else, Inu Yasha…" Kagome's words trailed off in a whisper.

I need a miracle and not someone's charity

One drop of love from him

And my heart's in ecstasy

The high that is sending me

Is most likely ending me

I need a miracle and not someone's charity

Inu Yasha looked like he was going to cry as his arms wrapped tightly around Kagome's waist and crushed her smaller frame to his own. He nudged her hair away from her bared shoulder. Kagome screamed as his fangs sank into her flesh, her arms pulling him closer and her fingers twisting his silver-white hair. Her screams were not those of a woman in pain, and Inu Yasha only pulled her closer, refusing to let go.

In a sleight of movement, Kagome shifted herself against him. Inu Yasha gasped sharply, withdrawing his mouth from her shoulder to nestle his cheek on her chest.

Fill up my heart with love

Oh, you'd be amazed at how little I need from him

To feel complete here and now

Stirring within me

Are these feelings I can't ignore

I need a miracle and that's what I'm hoping for

"Are you alright?" Inu Yasha's voice was hoarse, but contented.

"Oh,… yes..." Kagome sighed with a smile. Her fingers untangled themselves from Inu Yasha's hair to cradle and caress him.

"I'm glad…" he reluctantly moved her a bit off of him so that he could see her face. "I was scared you'd push me away."

Kagome touched her shoulder to feel the fresh wounds. Surprisingly, she was not bleeding half as badly as she had expected after having Inu Yasha's canines in her flesh. In fact, the bleeding had all but stopped save for a small trickle from one of the puncture wounds.

"That…healed so fast!" Kagome blinked, running her hand over the wound again to make sure she actually had been bitten. The area was sensitive and a bit sore, but appearance-wise, it looked more painful than it actually was.

Inu Yasha wiped his mouth on his sleeve, one hand still on Kagome's waist.

"That wound'll heal up, but the scar never goes away." He explained, his tone still low and heady. Slowly, he pulled her back up against him. "Gods, I love you, Kagome…"

She nestled back into his warmth, freezing suddenly when she brushed up against something hard below Inu Yasha's waist. His sharp gasp and sudden squeeze of her confirmed what she had grazed against, and a deep crimson colored her entire face.

"Sorry…" she uttered sheepishly.

"D-Don't…be…" he replied, pulling her closer. "She's so warm… gods,… I want her so bad,… right now…"

I need a miracle and not someone's charity

One drop of love from him

And my heart's in ecstasy

The high that is sending me

Is most likely ending me

I need a miracle and not someone's charity now

Oh, baby…

Wrapping his arms firmly around her waist, Inu Yasha rolled Kagome over with him until he was lying on top of her, breathing heavily. The quick motion startled her, and she shivered beneath his lusty gaze.

Inu Yasha recognized the expression on her face from many an unfortunate encounter he had spied over his lifetime. Malicious demons often kidnapped human women to eat, but weren't above raping and humiliating their victims first. Even as a child, running scared and alone in this dangerous world, he had witnessed the horror on those women's faces as their terrifying fates loomed over them.

Kagome's expression was not quite so apprehensive as those unfortunate women had had, but her eyes did betray that she was nervous. Inu Yasha moved to get off of her, but she clung to his jacket. He sent her a questioning look.

"Don't go…" she blushed. "It's ok, I… I was just… surprised… that's all."

Inu Yasha settled back on top of her. His body screamed at him to do what came naturally, to hold her pinned to the ground while he drove himself into her over and over again. Losing himself in her heavenly scent, he pressed himself against her. Kagome's moaning beneath him made his body shiver, and he pressed himself again, this time earning a louder response. His flesh felt tingly and sensitive all over; he would not be able to keep this up without…

"Kagome…?" Inu Yasha whispered.

Anybody's love but his will never fill this space within me

Now doctor, give me what I need to free my heart from misery

Thick clouds obscured whatever moonlight had been lighting the world from above. The darkness kept all of its secrets, save for the cries that echoed in the night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know that I have not updated any of my fics in ages, and I'm really sorry for that. I've been dry on inspiration and couldn't find the right song to use for this FINAL chapter. Yes, you read that right--this is the last chapter of this fic. It's easy enough to write a songfic using only one song, but it's downright difficult to put a bunch of songfics together to make one story. I just can't take it any further.

I want to sincerely apologize to anyone who wanted to see Inu Yasha songs in this fic that did not get used. I just couldn't fit them into the plot!

I said it time and time again that I will NOT write a lemon, and even with this chapter, I stuck to that. This is very heavy lime, not lemon. As for what happens within the last few lines...well, I'll leave that up to your imaginations.

I want to personally thank everyone who has been reading this fic from the very beginning and everyone who provided song suggestions as well. Even though I didn't use every song suggested to me, there's a chance that I may use one or more of them in one-shot songfics in the future.

Oh! And in case you're wondering about the song from this chapter, it's called "I Want Love" but is also known by some people as "I Need A Miracle" It's from the horror game Silent Hill 3. Personally, I hate horror games, but I heard this song on the soundtrack that came with my boyfriend's copy of the game, so I decided to use it to finish off the fic.

If I've left anything out, DON'T SHOOT ME! I'M SORRY! I TRIED TO REMEMBER ALL THE THANK YOUS AND APOLOGIES! I hope you all enjoyed this little brain fart story of mine!
