Chapter 32: Turn My World Upside Down (Warning: Lemon and M/M lime)
 
 
InuYasha carried Kagome back to his bedroom, but by the time he'd reached it his eyes were glazed over red again, and it was clear that he wasn't ready to separate from her yet. Instead, once he was inside the sanctity of his own room, he tossed his shirt he'd laid across her shoulders aside and then slid his claw along her skirt so that it fell from her body. He carefully climbed on to his bed and laid her back and then settled to his knees. Not once had he lost his intimate contact with her.
 
“InuYasha?” she questioned softly, not certain what was going on. “Your brother… and Kagura…”
 
“They can wait,” he answered in a deep throaty voice as he pulled her feet up so that they could rest on his chest.
 
Kagome couldn't help but to moan as he gently thrust into her. It was difficult to believe, but she could sense that he was still hard inside of her. She could feel his hands tenderly exploring her hips and buttocks, as if he was searching for something. She felt a prick and then something being pulled away from her flesh. Her eyes opened wide when he held it in front of him, his other hand still supporting her buttocks.
 
“You won't be needing these for awhile.” He tossed the patch aside.
 
“InuYasha!” Kagome started to push away from him, but found herself in his iron grip. As soon as she tried to pull away, with incredible speed he had a hand on each hip and her practically locked against him.
 
“InuYasha…” Tears started to leak from the corners of her eyes. She didn't know if she was ready for this. She didn't know if he was really ready for this. Was he so upset that she was having a hard time setting a date for the wedding that he would impregnate her without discussing it with her? For once he'd ripped off the birth control patch, she realized that was what he was attempting to do. He was filling her with his seed and remaining coupled with her so that it would stay trapped within her body for as long as possible. Confused, she turned her head and let the tears fall.
 
She did not know how long they stayed together like that. When he finally went flaccid inside of her and slid out, he lowered his head between her legs and lapped at the hot mingled juices pouring out of her. She couldn't help but to open herself to him. His warm tongue felt so good as it licked at her swollen clitoris. Suddenly, he stopped and drew back. She heard him suck in his breath as he pulled away.
 
“InuYasha?” she asked again. She turned her head and opened her eyes to see the distraught look on his face. That look said it all, and her tears started to flow freely.
 
“Fuck it all! I can't believe I did that!” he exclaimed. “Why did he have to show up tonight?” The hanyou was now pacing back and forth at the end of the bed. He turned back to face her. “I'm sorry, Kagome. I didn't plan this. I didn't plan to lose control. I would never have forced you.”
 
“You didn't force me, InuYasha, at least not to have sex. But I don't understand what happened, other than I think you were trying to make me pregnant.” Kagome sat up and wrapped her arms around her knees. “I thought we'd at least talk about it first…” A new round of tears threatened to escape.
 
The hanyou stopped pacing and turned to face her. Looking at her naked body shivering, he went to the closet and pulled out one of her yukata. He gently placed it over her shoulders as he sat down by her. “I'm sorry, Kagome. I know you weren't ready for kids yet. I don't even know if I am. I've been able to keep control before, even if I knew you might be fertile, because there wasn't any threat of anyone else taking you. Sesshomaru showed up at the wrong fucking time. If it had been any other, it would have been okay - probably. But showing up when we were together like that forced my youkai to the surface. I was compelled to lay claim to you in a manner that would keep any other male away. I couldn't make myself break free because that would allow him the chance to take my place. It would have been like giving him permission to fuck you. I'm sorry, Kagome…”
 
“If you don't want it-” Kagome started but was abruptly cut off.
 
“Of course I do! I love you, and I'll love our child… unless you don't…” InuYasha's eyes widened in horror at the thought.
 
“I've wanted to have your baby for longer than even I know. I just didn't know if either of us was really ready,” she answered softly. “I guess this means that I'll need to set the wedding for Christmas Eve of this year rather than next.”
 
He leaned over and softly kissed her. “I'm sorry, but I'm glad. My life has been so much better with you in it. I do wish that asshole brother of mine would quit showing up and butting in and forcing things to happen before I've had a chance to plan anything, though.”
 
“Your brother! Is he still here?” Kagome asked. She was praying to herself that Sesshomaru and Kagura had left when they didn't come back out right away.
 
“I'm afraid he is. I doubt he'll leave until he's said what he came to say. I guess we'd better go see why they're here.” The hanyou looked at her with love and concern in his eyes which had now returned to their deep golden color.
 
“InuYasha,” she said softly. “You know I might not end up pregnant from this. I've been wearing my patches like I'm supposed to. Just because you ripped the one off doesn't mean-”
 
He picked up her hand and curled it in his before bringing it to his mouth and kissing the back of it. “Kagome, I've always been careful with you, careful not to let this happen other than on the full moon, when it's been pretty safe. The problem with youkai seed is that it's almost indestructible if there is an egg to be fertilized. Unfortunately, the patches you have aren't always strong enough to keep you from releasing eggs. They're supposed to keep them from getting fertilized. It just doesn't work with youkai sperm, though it was okay as long as I maintained control. I had planned to explain all of this to you before we got married.” He sighed. “I guess I should have earlier. Maybe this wouldn't have happened.”
 
“It still would have,” she whispered. “I wanted you so badly when we got home that I couldn't even make it to the bedroom. It's not your fault that your brother showed up and set off your instincts.” She started to climb off of the bed, and InuYasha took her hand and helped her. “I guess I should go clean up a little first, before we see them,” she added.
 
“No, you'd better not,” InuYasha suggested.
 
“But he'll be able to smell,” she started.
 
The hanyou nodded. “He will be able to, anyway, but unless you want that to happen again in front of him, it'd be better if you remain heavily coated in my scent, both inside and out. And if I want you in my lap in his presence, just do it, all right? I might need help keeping my youkai under control as long as he's in the same room with you.” He buried his nose in her neck. “As long as I feel he might be a threat, I'm going to want to be with you.”
 
She shuddered, this time in pleasure. “All right, InuYasha. I guess this is what Kagura was trying to tell me.”
 
He looked at her questioningly.
 
Kagome blushed. “When she said, `Welcome to the world of youkai.'”

Miroku could taste the sweetness of the wine she'd had when they'd deepened their kiss. It made for an interesting flavor when combined with that of the coffee. His hands of their own accord pulled her to him, his left threading through her hair until it was comfortably supporting the back of her head with his right clutching desperately at her back over her shoulder blade. Not wanting to push things too fast, he didn't allow his hands to roam as they were want to.
 
Sango had tensed at first when his lips met hers, but as his mouth opened and he softly coaxed her with his tongue, she relaxed and allowed him entrance. In turn, he'd pulled back and gently sucked her tongue into his mouth before it became tangled with his. Unsure of what to do with her hands, she gripped his shirt at the waist before she felt him pull her closer. When her body became pressed against his, she allowed her hands to wrap around him and grasp at his back.
 
They both were panting when they finally let go. Sango's cheeks were flushed and her heart was pounding. Uncertain of herself, she looked up but then away when she found she could not meet his intense gaze. Did he enjoy it? Was he disappointed?
 
“That was… nice…” Miroku said in answer to her unasked question.
 
“Really?” His statement and the tone in which he had said it gave her the courage to look up and meet his eyes. She was surprised that his expression was almost one of… awe.
 
Suddenly, he released her. “I'm sorry, Sango. I should go.”
 
“But…” she sounded confused and hurt.
 
He did not have the courage to face her. If he did, he would want to kiss her again. Instead, he turned towards the darkening skyline. “You're still my student for at least another month. It would be improper…”
 
Sango angrily grabbed his elbow and jerked him towards her. “So you can fuck all of your other students, but not me?”
 
Miroku's eyes widened in surprise. “I never fuck my students, at least while they are in my class, and with good reason. Do you know what that would do? How it would taint any grade you earned? Sango, you've worked too hard and are doing too well to cast any suspicion on your final grade.”
 
“They're already saying it anyway, so what difference does it make?” she said quietly.
 
“What?” Miroku sounded genuinely astonished.
 
“Word's gotten around of the time we spend together, of our `dates' every week. They think we're doing it, anyway.” Sango wiped away a tear that trailed down her cheek as she looked back towards the skyline.
 
He gently turned her to face him. “What matters is that we know the difference; we know what's real.” He turned away again and placed his hands on the railing as he whispered, “I'm sorry. I didn't plan to fall in love with you.”
 
“You what?” She studied his face as he stared off into space.
 
Miroku sighed and looked down. He hadn't really meant for that to slip out. He felt a small warm hand cover his own.
 
Sango leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. “I can wait a little longer.”

Kagome followed closely behind InuYasha as they walked towards the kitchen. She was flushed from her toes to the roots of her hair. She'd never been so embarrassed in her life, and now she had to face the pair that had walked in on them. She didn't know what she should do or say.
 
Sesshomaru and Kagura were calmly sitting at the kitchen table and talking quietly. They had a number of papers scattered in front of them.
 
InuYasha stopped dead in his tracks. “You fucking bastard! You could have avoided all of that if you'd sent her in first, and you knew it!”
 
“Little Brother, how was I to know that your youkai had already claimed her as your mate? I suspected it, but there was no way to know for certain that your bond ran that deep. I knew you were lovers and planned to marry in the human tradition, but I did not comprehend that a human could accept a hanyou so completely as for the youkai to emerge to the extent that yours has.”
 
“Yes, Lord InuYasha. It is amazing!” a tiny voice shouted.
 
“Myouga Jijii? I thought you didn't want Sesshomaru to know you were back in town,” InuYasha said, still glaring at his brother. He slapped his neck and then growled at the tiny youkai that fell into his hand. “And no feeding without permission! How many times do I have to tell you not to bite me if you don't want me to squash you?”
 
Kagome's curiosity got the better of her. “Will someone please tell me what's going on? And who's that?” She was peering into InuYasha's palm.
 
The hanyou growled. “This is my cowardly vassal. He disappeared for years and then he showed up again a few weeks ago. His name is Myouga.”
 
“A pleasure to meet you.” The little insect bowed.
 
“What are you?” Kagome asked.
 
“He's a fucking flea youkai, and like I said, he's a coward.” InuYasha set him on the table.
 
“I would resent that, but it is somewhat true. I prefer knowledge to fighting,” Myouga stated indignantly. “I journeyed back when word reached me that InuYasha was to be married.”
 
InuYasha rounded on Sesshomaru. “You still haven't answered me - why did you do that? Why did you force me to make Kagome pregnant before we were really ready? Everything would have been okay if you had just waited, or even sent Kagura in first. Your scent is all over her, and I would have known you weren't a threat.”
 
“Pregnant? She won't be pregnant from that interlude,” Sesshomaru stated. “By the time she's ready to conceive, your seed will have burned out. Where did you get that idea?”
 
“Where the fuck did you go, Myouga? I thought you said…” InuYasha was shoving the papers around on the table, trying to find where the flea had gone into hiding.
 
“I was just guessing, My Lord! I thought your nose would know for certain,” the voice squeaked.
 
“You mean I just scared the shit out of both of us because of your `guess'?”
 
A loud sigh behind them stopped all movement. “Will someone please just explain to me what's going on?” Kagome moved forward to sit in the chair across from Sesshomaru and next to Kagura.
 
InuYasha took the remaining chair at the table and reached over to take her hand.
 
“It's such a rare thing that it's difficult to. The fact you have a miko aura that is just as strong as the youki of any demon complicates matters,” Sesshomaru started. “It's not all that unusual for a hanyou to marry a human. What is unusual is for the human to accept them totally for what they are. They either wish they didn't have claws, or fangs, or scales, or whatever other youkai characteristics they may have. The human may love the hanyou, but there is still always something about them, some trait, that they wish they didn't have. Because of this, the youki of the hanyou remains basically dormant. Or in some hanyou, it simply isn't strong enough to even balance out the human half. In those cases, the bond is nothing more than your average human marriage. It may make it, or it may end in divorce. If there are children, they are almost always inevitably far more human than youkai.
 
“However, your case with InuYasha is entirely different. From what he tells me and what I've observed, you completely accept everything about him. His youki was strong because of our father, but you have accepted that half of him completely, and in turn, his youkai has accepted you. Demons don't normally marry, but they decide to mate. It may last for a month, a year, or an entire lifetime. It depends on how deeply the bonds between the two go. Your miko aura has wrapped around his youki and claimed it as your own, and he in turn has done the same with you. Your very souls have laid claim to one another. You are joined at the deepest level.
 
“InuYasha's youkai surfaced so quickly when I walked in because he felt threatened by my appearance. Youkai do have the right to challenge one another for their mate. It's really not all that different from animals in the wild, when you get down to it. The strongest wins the right to the female, and the loser leaves or loses his life. His instincts drove him to keep you coupled together so that I would not have the opportunity. If he could have kept control a few minutes longer, he would have realized that I was no threat.” Sesshomaru fell silent.
 
“So that's why you two kept calling me his mate? But I still don't understand. Wouldn't he have marked me, or something? How would anyone else know?” Kagome worried her bottom lip.
 
Sesshomaru actually laughed. Kagome reddened even more, so Kagura slapped him on the arm. “Give her a break, will you? She doesn't know. You and that flea have been very lacking in your duties.”
 
That made Sesshomaru shake his head, but he did manage to stop his chortling. “No, we don't know where that `marking' idea came from. It's an old wives' tale. We don't bite each other or anything like that. Well, most youkai don't. Cat youkai bite as part of their courtship and when they're breeding, and I guess there are some youkai that may derive some pleasure from it just as there are some humans that do, but it's not something that's common.”
 
“And why did InuYasha try to make me pregnant? I still don't understand that…” her voice trailed away and she looked down.
 
“I think I know,” the hanyou said quietly. “It was a case of confusion, anger, and fear. My nose isn't as good as my brother's since I'm only half inuyoukai. And then I started thinking about what Myouga had told me. I was certain I reacted the way I did because I thought you were ready to conceive. In reality, it was to keep Sesshomaru away from you. If I had realized earlier that he had mated with Kagura, then I wouldn't have reacted so strongly.” InuYasha looked at his brother. “I guess congratulations are in order. I never thought you would find someone who could stand your sorry ass.”
 
“I've merely been keeping her under my protection until the situation with Naraku is settled,” Sesshomaru stated, earning a glare from Kagura.
 
“You just keep telling yourself that,” InuYasha said.
 
“He can do so while he's sleeping alone tonight,” Kagura stated. “And now that we are finally on the subject of Naraku, that is why we came.”
 
“And, Little Brother, I'm afraid you're not going to like what we've found so far,” Sesshomaru said as he reached for one of the papers on the table.

“Honey, I'm hoooooommmme!” Jakotsu called out as he entered the basement of the house they had moved their headquarters to. It had a door that led into it from the outside. The large home was set into the side of a hill on one end so that only part of the bottom floor was really below ground. There was a large room meant as a family room that opened up onto a private patio on one side. From the family room a hallway led to the rooms they had claimed upon move-in. It worked perfectly for their group to come and go as they pleased without disturbing the other members of the household.
 
Bankotsu called from down the hallway, “I'm back here in my office.”
 
Jakotsu swayed his hips and practically danced down the hall. “Hi, Honey. Did you miss me?”
 
Bankotsu spun in his chair to study the brightly dressed man in the doorway. The look on his face said it all. “You found something, didn't you?”
 
“Only the name of the shrine where we can find the Shikon no Tama,” he offered.
 
“And?” Bankotsu prompted.
 
Jakotsu folded his arms in front of him and leaned against the door frame. “And what about my reward? I've been a good boy, and I've gotten nothing for my troubles - just a lot of elderly priests. I think everyone has managed a good fuck out of this except me.” He stuck his lip out and pouted.
 
“Close the door,” Bankotsu ordered. “What do you want?”
 
“Bank, baby, you know what I want,” he answered as he shut the door and dropped his pants.
 
“Tell me the name,” he ordered as he beckoned him closer.
 
“Ahhhhh,” Jakotsu sighed as he slid into the hot, wet mouth. He could feel the tongue wrapping around him and the suction as he was pulled in deeper. “Gods, Bank, you give head better than just about anybody.”
 
A not so gentle nip reprimanded him for not answering the question.
 
Jakotsu yelped. “Okay, okay. Just don't leave me hanging. The old priest said that we can find information on the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls at the Sunset Shrine. All we need to do is find out where the shrine is… ahhhhhh… fuck, that's good.”
 
Bankotsu managed to smile in spite of the fact his mouth was full of Jakotsu's cock. The Sunset Shrine - they finally had something to go on. Wrapping his hand around the dick he was working, he quickened his pace until he felt the burning of seed hit the back of his throat. He frowned when he realized that one of them had been to check out that shrine and came back empty handed. Did someone know they were looking? Pushing Jakotsu away from him, he turned back around and looked at the map that was laid out on the drawing table. He would go himself this time. He would check it out and find out if the information was accurate before they informed Naraku. Kyoutoksu made the fatal error of going straight to Naraku with information he had uncovered. It turned out to be a false lead, and in his anger, Naraku had killed him. Bankotsu wasn't all that fussed about it - Kyoutoksu had disobeyed direct orders by going over his head, hoping to gain favor with their employer and lost his life instead. However, he didn't want the same to happen to him.
 
He looked thoughtful when he turned to Jakotsu. “Thanks, Jakotsu. You've been a good boy so you have my permission to go and party tonight. Just be sure not to leave any bodies lying around, all right?”
 
Jakotsu looked like he was pouting again as he pulled his pants up and stuffed his shirt tail in. “Well, if I must. Thanks for the appetizer to hold me over. Don't wait up, dear!”
 
 
To be continued…
