InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Lost Hopes ❯ Chapter 17

Author notes: Ah, Yes Another chapter for you. A bit of a lemon. And a small encounter with Katashi and Kaiya. Hope you people like it. I know a few of you may be a bit miffed that I am taking all this a bit slow. But I want Inuyasha to recover fully once again before he meets Kagome (which'll probably be at the end of the story). So I guess all who are waiting for Kagome bashing have to wait a little more, though not much……

 

 

Chapter 17

 

Drowsy eyes opened to the warm and wet sensation around him. Letting out a loud yawn he stretched, water splashing as he rubbed his eyes roughly and looked around in a sleepy daze. Immediately he stiffened at the familiarly of finding himself in a large pool, panic building in his mind screeching at him to flee however his youkai was perfectly content staying there near his mate and thusly his body refused to move.

 

“Ah, the prince finally awakens” Inuyasha spun around wide-eyed to face his amused mate before the winding arms around him tightened and he was pulled onto Kouga's lap effortlessly and snugly against the hard chest. “How are you feeling?” Kouga inquired softly, a finger moving to play with a twitching puppy ear.

 

The warmth of the hot spring along his mate's closeness silenced the chaotic wars in his mind and he sagged against Kouga closing his eyes with a sigh. “I'm okay,” he mumbled while trying to quickly gather his bearings.

 

“We are back at the castle,” Kouga informed feeling the inu's confusion. “I tried to wake you but you refused and no, don't apologise. I am the one at fault here.” He quietly watched the inu battle with himself.

 

`He needs time to get used to the old ways.' Kouga agreed silently. Instincts were not something that could be changed overnight; they needed time, something they had in abundance now.

 

“So…” he continued. “I had to carry you here. Of course Katashi, Ginta, and Hakkaku had been sent in search for us.”

 

“Who's Katashi?” asked Inuyasha as he pulled back slightly to gaze at wolf and Kouga smiled. Yes, Inuyasha was reverting to his old self already; the curious little doggy was coming out. Extending his arms over the inu's shoulder he drew the hanyou closer to him. At once the rich scent tickled his nostrils and he dipped his head sniffing, his body reacting to the sensual mix of spice, forest and oddly of a certain flower whose name he couldn't place or didn't bother to. A treasonous tongue flicked out to taste his mate and he growled in appreciation hearing the sharp gasp followed by the soft barely audible moan escaping the inu's lips.

 

“Kouga…”

 

“Ummm… oh yes, Katashi.” He mumbled against the delicious flesh before drawing back. “He is Oneechan's mate and my childhood friend, although the rascal acts more like my big brother or something.” He grumbled. “According to him, oneechan dragged him of their bed by his ears. They were worried about you Inuyasha. I too, was worried.”

 

“…Sorry.”

 

“Don't apologise Inuyasha. You are not at fault here, it that old baka, Teijo. The nerve of that filthy maggot…” He growled. “I oughta have pulled his tongue out of his dirty mouth!”

 

“But….”

 

“Oi, Yasha, no buts. … No one dare insult my intended. You are mine as well I am yours, Inuyasha, and any insult to you is an insult to me. No one is to be forgiven for doing that to me, Inuyasha. You understand that?”

 

Inuyasha nodded, albeit unsurely. He was still dealing with the new and abrupt changes in his life. He had gone from an alpha to omega and back to an alpha in the blink of an eye. He didn't know what to make of it. Sure, he felt much better than he had felt in week, perhaps something akin to happiness. But he was scared, so scared. What if all of it was dream? What if he woke to find himself cold and alone once more? Fate had played too many games with him; it had only taken away the ones he loved. Why would it be any different now? Was this a new trap?

 

“…Yasha… love?” Kouga prodded gently, the look on the hanyou's face worried him.

 

“Kouga, is this true?”

 

“What, is what true?”

 

“Everything. This is real, right? It's not a dream, right?” The wolf only smiled in answer before placing a small nip on Inuyasha's nose making him yelp and glare at it as he held onto his slightly red nose.

 

“Nope, certainly not a dream.” Kouga grinned. “Now, my dear mate, back to what I was saying. Anyway, everything was fine until we reached here. Someone must have heard that I had been mated and almost whole of the clan were present at the gate, practically wanting to squeeze the life out of us with their felicitations. From long to short, we now have an official initiation ceremony to look forward to.”

 

Inuyasha stiffened once again. “A…a ceremony? Do we have to?” He looked up worriedly. He was still not ready to deal with an alien bunch of wolves. The first encounter was enough for him, what if they…

 

A handed moved to caress the sensitive area on his neck, soothingly. “We have to Inuyasha. It was mother's decision and the clan would want a feast to celebrate our joining. But you need not fear, none other than Teijo shares those orthodox and vile prejudices. I saw their faces today; they were happy and excited to have you with them. Apparently your reputation precedes you, doggy, and we are anything but proud to have at our side.”

 

“Hmmm….”

 

“Moreover, most are happy to see me `tamed and collared'. Damn fucking wolves. I just wanted to tie their tails together and whip their asses for good. Perhaps that would have wiped the smug look on their baka faces.” Kouga grumbled however he didn't miss the small quirk on the thin lips. Ah, the beginning of a smile, he would have to work on that. “…and that's not all.”

 

“Eh?”

 

“Tomorrow we have earned the privilege of meeting his royal highness, Lord Mashiro, my father and royal pain in the ass.” Kouga growled. “Don't look at me that way Inuyasha, the wolf thrives on the joys of finding perfect opportunities on getting my ass kicked.”

 

“He's that bad?” Inuyasha asked a bit surprised of his mate speaking of his own father so hotly.

 

“Yeah, but the courtesy only extends to his dear son. So tomorrow you may witness getting hanged by my tail, or more preferably to him, my balls, and you shall enjoy the unique eloquence my father reserves only for me.”

 

A snicker escaped his lips even before the poor the inu could control it. Kouga sure had a colourful view of his father and picturing Kouga's exact words in his words was too comical for him to suppress his laughter.

 

“Good to see you smile Inuyasha. You look beautiful. However I must warn you, keep away from the auburn haired beauty by his side. That's grandma, and extremely injurious to your health.”

 

“Keh, nothing scares me, ya half-wi… Sorry” puppy ears flattened on atop the ivory mane as Inuyasha hid behind the untamed bangs. The words had been a mistake; he should have disrespected his alpha, but….

 

“Oi Inuyasha, what have I told you about not apologising? You are my mate, love, and that entails you to be the prince of the clan and my equal, I want you to act as such and a little boasting isn't that bad. Moreover, you should probably hold onto that idiotic bravery of yours, you'll need It.” he grinned at the glare received. Yep his puppy was definitely making a comeback, emerging slowly out of the shell.

 

“hmmm… but this is not the decided time to talk about the extent of your dementia. Lets take it to the room shall we, I for once don't want resemble a dried prune when I meet father tomorrow.” Inuyasha allowed himself a smile. It somehow felt good.

 

“Inuyasha?”

 

“Yemmmppphhh!” Lips descended on his before he could answer and Kouga began the process of promptly devouring his sweet new mate. Their relationship was new; the raw pull of feeling the warm body of his mate against another was explosive and Kouga was happy to revel in it. Pulling the inu closer to his body, he allowed his tongue to slip between the slim folds of the inu's lips meeting its tentative partner halfway and playing with it.

 

A throaty moan escaped the hanyou's body as he shivered in anticipation. Yes, this was heaven and it as his… perhaps. No his, definitely his. Pressing himself against the naked chest, he allowed himself for the first time to join in, to wedge a war against the invading tongue and taste his mate.

 

Kouga let his mate feed on him. Feed on his love, his power, his very being. Let him take everything that was him and return the same with renewed fervour. For so long, he had pleasured his mate, taking the part of the caregiver letting his one enjoy his touch, to ache for them and not flinch away in fear and agony. Now was his moment to allow the inu to return the touch. All burned, molten flames of desire singeing his skin, piercing through his veins, shooting forward, making him come alive.

 

Bodies rubbed against one another as the carnal need of joining became more pronounced. Kouga held on to the pale globes of his mate lifting himself, and the inu curled around him effortlessly while the wolf rose from the steamy pool, the water cascading off of their heated skin like droplets of crystals. Breaking off the hot connection he looked at the flushed face, “Let's continue in our bed shall we?”

 

A shaky nod from the panting hanyou was all that Kouga needed, and he walked out the bathing chamber into their bedchamber, warmed by the light and heated by a healthy fire in the large hearth. Reaching the soft furs he lowered the inu carefully on him, shining eyes admiring the taught wet body in front of him. Yes, Inuyasha was most beautiful and exotic creature alive; even the weeks of illness and trauma had not been able to lessen the sheer beauty of the hard body. “You are exquisite, love…” he stated admiringly watching the inu shudder from it. “…and I am glad you are mine.”

 

Lowering himself on the furs he stalked towards his eyes, his nose twitching from the scent of heightened arousal around him. Inuyasha wanted him, and the feeling was mutual. Yes they we were meant to be together. Pulling the his mate under him, he lowered himself capturing the swollen lips yet again teasing and tasting each other letting his dark mane fall around them like a veil hiding themselves from the outsiders.

 

“Inuyasha” a breathy whisper and inu opened his eyes to the azure one looking down at him lovingly. “I want you to…”

 

“No.”

 

“Inuyasha…”

 

“No, I am okay. I don't want dominance.”

 

“Love, we are equal so…”

 

“Please, I feel good with you as you are. Please.” he begged. This was too soon and frankly he liked the taste of submission. Parting his legs in invitation he waited.

 

Kouga nodded in understanding at he settled close to his mate. Although he had made up his mind about submission he was honestly not very comfortable about the idea. Perhaps in the future he may consider it seriously but it was too early now. Smiling softly to assure his mate, he stole another heated kiss as reaching up to find the furry and delectable triangle above the inu's head. He had been dying to try them out, wanting to feel their delicate texture between his fingers and lips. Tongues lashed against one another fervidly while Inuyasha was introduced to a new set of pleasure point to his body. Nimble fingers caressed the furry appendages delighting in their softness as a slow purr was slowly emitted from hanyou's chest in reaction. Breaking off the sweet kiss and exploring impatiently, Kouga edged higher; gently blowing into one ear, watching it twitch and a little sigh escape the inu as he leaned closer to feel more.

 

Catching the right ear between his lips he gave a playful tug and a nip before licking the rim of inner flap feeling the sudden gasp and the delightful tremor that ran down the hanyou's body as he leaned in for more. The scent of arousal spiked and Kouga dove in holding the ears firmly while he tortured it with his tongue lathing its inside and blowing making the inu arch and keen new sensations sending waves of heats through his body. “Mmm…Kouga!”

 

`Interesting…' the wolf prince mused, pleasantly surprised by the inu's reaction and proceeded to explore the newly discovered pleasure spot. More warms licks and alternative nips followed as finger kneaded the other ear watching as they turned crimson with excitement.

 

Inuyasha had lost all coherency, his breathing laboured and body aching with need as he arched to rub himself against his tormenter, his engorged shaft dripping and demanding more attention. Never had he thought that his hearing devices could be used for anything more than their original purpose. He, since his childhood, had never been proud of those ears, which had made him “different” from all others. He was often taunted because of them, the poor appendages being tugged, molested, abused and fondled with, but now it was different, so different. Constant purrs and happy mewls poured of him relentlessly as he writhed under his mate, the waves building inside him threatening to crash any moment. Rubbing himself more fiercely he growled as his left ear was given the same attention.

 

“Kouga… stop! I… I can't…” he desperately tried to warn as he almost reached his limits but it only succeeded in encouraging his mate more. Fingers tangled in the silvery locks pulling the inu as close as possible while Kouga worked with more fervour intent on bringing his mate higher toward his release. His work soon paid as off as the inu beneath him stiffen suddenly before letting out a sharp keen cry and shuddered as he toppled over the precipice, reaching his climax.

 

Pleased, Kouga released him, staring down at the flushed cheeks and slightly-parted red lips while he held on desperately trying to bring himself under control. The wolf price smiled placing a small kiss on the fevered forehead. “we oughta try that more often puppy, I think you enjoyed it quite thoroughly.” He noted the grin growing wider as the blush became more prominent in his mate's cheeks. “Yep… but we can't stop here, you know.” he added rubbing his straining erection against the inu's pale thighs suggestively.

 

“hmmm…” Inuyasha nodded trying hard to hold in the chuckle that threatened to pour out of him anytime. Somehow, he felt alive. Reaching up he tangled his arms in the dark locks pulling his mate closer for a kiss.

 

Kouga went in willingly, settling himself on his inu as they nipped at each other playfully before leaning in to join their mouths, eager tongues twisting around each other joining in a sensual dance of eternal bonding. Throaty moans were released as the urgency to join became more prominent and arms slipped around the wolf as Inuyasha pulled him closer the fearful claws gently scraping the skin on his back.

 

Kouga shivered, groaning in appreciation as he pressed himself more firmly gliding against his mate's swiftly hardening member. The scent of prior heavy release and current arousal made him dizzy as he trailed sharp nips and comforting kisses along his mate's jaw line. Claws moved along the inu's side, feeling the muscles jump under his fingers before it dipped into the pelvic crevice, collecting the pre-released juices along it way before it reached it final destination to push past the muscled barriers and into the hidden and hot passage of the inu.

 

A long groan and Inuyasha pressed himself against the invading finger conveying his restless anticipation. Legs parted and wounded itself around the sinewy waist as Kouga introduced more cum slicked fingers into his hanyou while worrying the mating mark lying on the inu's shoulder with his lips, drawing soft pleasure-filled growls and desperate moans from the writhing inu.

 

Inuyasha rocked himself on the fingers letting out a sharp yelp as his prostate was found and the bundle was struck more skilfully with each stroke.

 

Kouga groaned at his mate's eagerness fighting to regain the control of nerves as the inu's sinful mouth found a rather sensitive area on his neck to suckle on. A needful whimper fell in his sharps ears as he withdrew his fingers and wriggled to position himself near the dripping entrance. Perhaps they should try to go at it more slowly in the future but for now his body called for fast and hard action, and he knew Inuyasha wanted the same.

 

Ever so carefully he eased himself in, looking down at his mate intently to catch any discomfort from his invasion and sighing inwardly when he found no trace of pain as the inu only grunted, wriggling sometimes to take more of his wolf in. His heart soared at the inu's active participation in this carnal act. “Daijoubu?” he asked wanting to make sure his little doggie was actually all right.

 

“Hai” came a breathless reply. “…Just a few moments…”

 

Kouga nodded moving to kiss his mate soothingly as he lay fully sheathed inside him. A few minutes later a tentative push indicated his mate's readiness and he drew himself almost all the way out only to push in slowly muffling the resulting grunt with passionate kiss. More long strokes followed as Inuyasha joined in, moving along with his wolf, joining and giving into the ethereal dance of mating bliss.

 

Time passed and the movement became more urgent, the hard, sweat-sheen bodies driving against another fanatically, and cries of pleasure erupted from both demonic entities mixing and echoing through the silent room as they escalated towards their combined climax.

Kaiya hurried along the corridor pulling a whining Katashi along with her. How her mate managed to revert from strong stern wolf general to a whiny, fussy wolf boy whenever she was with him was beyond her imagination.

 

“Why do we have to go there?” Katashi grumbled for the hundredth time. “Even Mi-chan can take these robes to them.”

 

“Mother's orders.” Kaiya stated simply, trying hard to keep the smirk off her lips. Her mate was really being clingy today, and that meant they were gonna have fun tonight.

 

“But I just wanna spend some time with you. It been so long since we've mated, and being so close to those newly-mated idiots is really affecting me. All I wanna do now pounce you here and now…” A hand slid along Kaiya's backside only to be swatted back. “Che! Why can't we come back later? Those two are probably fucking like bunnies in there.”

 

“Hush you. They are tired; besides they don't suffer from uncontrolled libido disorders like you, wolf-man. Moreover you just had me a few hours ago, so don't go on howling about it was long.”

 

“No buts, love. Mother said that you were to be introduced to Inuyasha formally and…” she began with a smirk “The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go back to our chamber.”

 

The wolf beside her seemed to be contemplating her idea for a second before a devilish grin spread on his lips. “Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!” With that he effortlessly scooped up and protected Kaiya in his arms as he ran down the corridor at full speed, leaving the passers-by smirking/giggling at their antics.

 

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

 

“Harder, Kouga…” Inuyasha growled as held on more tightly rocking fiercely against his mate. Each act of coition seemed more intense and hotter than the last one and Inuyasha burned letting the welcomed flames engulf his body soul and mind as he drowned in it. “Faster! Let go!”

 

Kouga could only comply with his mate's wishes, letting his youkai free as he drove in and out with inconceivable ferocity and speed. He had learned that Inuyasha could be quite vocal when he wanted to and was inwardly glad, as he need not be holding himself back anymore. “Does… that… please… you…Love?” he grunted with each thrust suckling on the inu's neck harder.

 

“Yes!” was only a hiss. “More!”

 

o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

 

“Damn those two, I am dying here,” Katashi grumbled as Kaiya still perched in his arms roll her eyes. They had been knocking on Kouga's door for quite sometime with no response.

 

“I think you should let me down now, Katashi” Kaiya pointed sternly to which her mate grinned.

 

“Yep I think it's time I barge in there and pull the lazy little wolf out of his comfy bed by his ear and knock some sense into his empty brain.” Kaiya was promptly settled down on her feet as Katashi proceeded to pull the doors open.

 

Kaiya stumbled a bit. “Katashi I don't think that's good idea. They are…” she tried to stop her mate but he had already pushed the doors open, entering the quiet room by himself. “Stupid fool…!” she muttered under her breath as she reluctantly followed her mate inside. She really had a bad feeling about this now that she was in and determined to stop her mate's further advance when a high pitched almost painful sounding howl tore through the room making them jump. Katashi, ever the warrior, had instantly switched to battle mode and sprinted across the room followed closely by an equally concerned Kaiya. Throwing the doors open Katashi came to an abrupt halt causing Kaiya bumped into him. The question however died instantly in Kaiya's voice as she glanced beyond her mate's muscular form to see her brother and her brother-in-law locked in a passionate post coital kiss. Cheeks colouring at the scent of heavy sex hitting their noses they stood incapable of movement watching the partly covered bodies entwined against each before a fierce growl echoed through the room causing them to jump.

 

“S-sorry, buddy.” Katashi stammered jumping back to slam the doors close and staggered along with his equally stunned mate to the furry cushions in the living room and collapsed over them. Both sat as statues neither glancing at the other as they tried to process just what had occurred.

 

“You're stupid.” Kaiya said stiffly.

 

“Yeah, and probably scarred for life.”

 

“Yeah, but very hot nonetheless.” the answer had Katashi turning to his mate in surprise, who was still red as she wrung her hands nervously.

 

“Eh?”

 

However before Kaiya could elaborate the bedroom door flew open with a raging and growling Kouga stepping in front of them.

 

“What's the meaning of this?” he sneered the serene blue eyes beginning to tint red in anger. “Don't you have anything to do than to barging into my private chamber when I am with my mate? I oughta tear…”

 

Katashi was instantly on the ground in a non-threatening way, baring his throat in submission as he began to explain. “We never meant it, Kouga. Keiko-sama had asked us to give you the clothing for tomorrow's morning rendezvous and the ceremony to be the following tomorrow evening regarding Inuyasha's initiation to the clan.” Kouga merely raised an eyebrow the fangs still bared.

 

Casting a worried glance at his mate, Katashi swiftly pressed himself as low as possible to the ground as possible as he continued. “We had been knocking on your door for quite sometime and receiving no answer I decided to check on you guys.” he didn't flinch from the resultant growl that echoed through the room or that Inuyasha had quietly strolled into the room adjusting a yukata similar to Kouga's, coming to stand by his mate's side. “We heard the howl and presumed you and your mate were danger and so…”

 

“And so you jumped like an inconsiderate baka barging into my private chambers without thinking. Honestly, Katashi… what do you have for a brain, cow dung?”

 

Forcing the growl that rose at the insult down, Katashi apologised. The apology was followed by another from Kaiya at their untimely intrusion. Kouga had every right to tear them into pieces for destroying their privacy. No one dared enter the mating grounds of two demons no matter what position they held and Katashi and Kaiya were still eligible for punishment. Looking up tentatively, Katashi sighed in relief when he saw the smirk gracing Kouga's lips and a very red faced Inuyasha who though looked a bit miffed at the situation but had a small forgiving smile on his face nonetheless.

 

“Get up you two, you're embarrassing us now.” Kouga urged, his features relaxing as he pulled Inuyasha closer to him by his shoulders before settling down on a nearby cushion.

 

Katashi smiled as he settled down along with Kaiya in front of the pair. “So you and white puppy here are getting along pretty well.” He teased as usual, his eyes twinkling with mirth to hide his shaken self behind them. “the howl must have managed to shake a few of the castle foundations” Inuyasha turned a flaming crimson glaring daggers at the commenter as Kouga snorted in amusement.

 

“Yeah, that and I am literally very good in what I do” Kouga retorted smugly earning a sharp punch in his ribs from his mate and a growl. Katashi snickered.

 

Kaiya who had been silent till the moment chose to intervene before her poor brother-in law was embarrassed more. “Congratulations, Inuyasha.” she smiled gently at a shyly nodding Inuyasha. “We gladly welcome you to our family and clan.”

 

“Thanks” Inuyasha replied, now perched beside Kouga ignoring him completely.

 

“And let me introduce you to my mate, Katashi” she gestured to the brown haired male beside him.

 

“My heartfelt congratulations, Inuyasha. I am truly happy for you two and having the famous Naraku-slayer in our clan only add to our pride and strength. I sincerely welcome you to our family and clan” Katashi greeted formally.

 

“Thank you” Inuyasha replied in earnest swatting away Kouga's hand that tried to settle over his shoulder and ignoring the resulting whine.

 

Kaiya smiled at the two before continuing what she had originally come for. The scent of sex still hung in the air and she really wanted to be alone in her chambers with her mate. “Kouga must have told you about father.” She looked for confirmation before she continued. “All right, you need to be attired properly for although it is more of an informal meeting, you still ought to aim to impress. Don't worry Inuyasha, father would probably dote on you but I am not so sure about Kouga.” Kouga snorted but readily ignored. “Anyway we have also arranged for your initiation ceremony tomorrow evening and these are your attires for attending.” She handed them the clothing, which Inuyasha took nodding gratefully. “We are thinking about keeping it short, however it is essential for you to stay at least the first few hours of the ceremony.” She added knowing that Inuyasha still may not be comfortable with a huge crowd and taking into account his condition it was not feasible to push him too far. “Is it okay for you?”

 

“Yeah.” Inuyasha answered although a bit unsure of it. Kaiya smiled and kneeled before him settling her hands on his comfortingly and smiled. “Don't worry, we'll take of everything. Mother and I will attend you personally. Everything will be fine.” Inuyasha smiled back, warmed greatly by their concern. It was good to have a family, people who cared for you and Inuyasha decided the least he could do would be to submit to few of their wishes.

 

“And Kouga,” she turned back to her pouting brother. “See that he is properly rested tomorrow or mother will have your hide. Dinner will be in shortly and I am depending on you to make sure he eats properly. I want more than skin and bones on my brother-in-law.”

 

Inuyasha blushed yet again causing Katashi to chuckle, which in turn earned him a glare from both Kouga and his own mate. Smirking a bit, he stood up hastily, pulling Kaiya along. “All right people, we all here are exhausted from the day's events and I am too eager to spend some time with my mate. While I would have lingered a bit longer but the scent of your recent activities has left me quite needy therefore I bid you goodbye as I return to my chambers to ravish my mate and to argue that it is not alone I that suffer from libido disorders.”

 

Kaiya spluttered at that, playfully swatting his mate's arms before she was promptly lifted over his shoulders and carried out of the room leaving a stunned Inuyasha and snickering Kouga in his leave.

 

“Don't worry, Inuyasha. He's always like this.” Kouga explained trying to draw Inuyasha closer to him for a kiss but was swatted again for his effort before Inuyasha strode towards their bedchamber.

 

“Inuyashaaaa…” he whined as he quickly followed his irritated mate inside. “I am sorry…Inuyasha… heyyyyyyy!”
