InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Nightwalker ❯ Combustion ( Chapter 17 )

Kanna Mizuo Megumi! This chapter is dedicated to you and the dynamo review you left me! Not only did you snag my favorite number (fifteen) but you also gave a kick ass review! Not to mention that someone finally likes Christiano! ^_^ Hmm and you don't trust Lilliana…interesting…And so, I will dedicate this wonderful chapter to you! For bringing my faith back into reviews!

 

ALSO! HAPPY VALENTINES! THIS CHAPTER WAS MURDER! I WANTED TO GET IT OUT BY VALENTINES DAY, THE DAY OF LUST AND DESIRE IN ANCIENT ROMAN TIMES. DO YOU KNOW HOW I HAD TO HUSTLE TO GET THIS TO YOU!

 

Disclaimer: Ahem, I don't own Inuyasha, nor will I take credit for Romiko Takahashi's Genius. I also don't own “Stairway to Heaven” By Led Zeppelin. As if I could come up with lyrics like that!

 

I don't think I need to repeat who is MINE! You get the idea. For those of you who STILL don't know who my favorite nightwalker is, it's *****. There you go.

 

It surprises me that the last chapter was so famous. I thought it was unbearably corny! I should say the same for this chapter! (Blush) Also, every review, well most of them, for that last chapter said THE SAME THING! You guys really want something to happen don't you? Why else rally together and boycott me to make Inuyasha bit Kagome? ^_^ Maaaaybe it might happen. Maybe. You'll have to read and find out. I said nothing!

 

@ Sovereignty: You're last review confused me. I thought it already sounded naughty?

 

@ Ookami Suriya: My favorite word is “indignation.” I just love how it sounds. Any die-hard fan of the Tales series would know that! I love you Jade Curtis!

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION: HEAD THE RATING!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Part Seventeen: Combustion

 

 

 

 

 

“You sound tired. Do you want to rest?” Lilliana asked Sango.

 

“I'll be fine. How much longer?” She answered, her words following a series of short breaths.

 

“Speak for yourself. I'd like to sit down and catch my breath for five minutes. Not to mention get some light in my eyes. That cave gave me the creeps.” Miroku sighed, sitting down on a rock.

 

“We're not that far. We should be there soon.” Lilliana said up ahead.

 

“I hope Kagome is all right.” Sango said to herself. She noticed Lilliana narrow her eyes.

 

“Is something wrong?” She asked.

 

Lilliana held completely still, not answering her. Sango shrugged and decided to ignore her for now. It was odd to say the least how quickly she had gotten used to being around Lilliana. She was quiet and reserved, but any woman that could scare Miroku out of his wits was a woman she could agree with. She would eventually have to ask Lilliana to let them go, but the nightwalker refused to let them loose until she was sure that they would be safe. Sango looked at the long, black, and wavy hair on the girl's back. She heard about Lilliana's history from Kagome. What a terrible thing to go through. Perhaps that was the reason she was so introverted.

 

When she heard the story of the man that had attacked her, she understood why Lilliana had helped her, even though she had stated that she didn't trust humans. When Sango had asked her if they could be released into the city, she replied, “If you're alive, Narek will eventually find your scent and come to finish what he started. I can't risk that.”

 

By the way Kagome had described him, he sounded so deadly. Sango would have to remember him along with the nameless nightwalker kind they all spoke of. She knew she couldn't return to join the nightwalker hunters. Miroku knew as well which was why he agreed with her decision to stay with the family a bit longer, at least until they could find a way to blend back into society. According to Lilliana, the upheaval in Tokyo was due to the underground war the nightwalkers had been having. Perhaps it would best to use her knowledge to help them defeat this king. At least then Sango could live with the idea that no more people would be in danger.

 

Living with them had its perks. She'd never seen the red wood trees before. The forest was truly beautiful with adorable chipmunks running around, and birds chirping. The wind made leaves and bushes rumble. Sango frowned. There was no wind. She stood, looking across to Miroku who had also gotten to his feet. He searched about his surroundings. “Do you hear something?” He asked.

 

The pair of them looked at the nightwalker. Lilliana stood still, her arms crossed and her eyes closed as though she were waiting for something, but her straight back and focused face made it seem like she were alert. “Three, two, one.” She counted.

 

Miroku took in a sharp intake of breath as another member of the family hoped down from the sky three inches away from him. He fell over, staring at her with his mouth open.

 

Lilliana turned, taking a few steps toward her. “Could you have made any more of a dramatic entrance?” Lilliana asked her with her brows raised.

 

“Sorry, Lilly, but you won't believe what I found!” Claire said excitedly. “I don't have time to stay but I want you to take a look at this.”

 

Claire fished into her pink shirt, bringing out a brown book that looked so old Lilliana felt if she took it, it would crumble into dust. She reached out and took the scratchy book from Claire's outstretched hand, opening it. “I thought you would be able to read it.” Claire explained.

 

“It's written in Greek?” Lilliana flipped several of the pages. “ I'll look through it.” She told Claire.

 

“Thanks babe! I'm climbing the stairway to heaven out of here!” Claire jumped up into the canopy, disappearing.

 

Lilliana looked back down after she had gone. “Are you just going to lie there gaping forever?” She told Miroku. He rose quickly, looking away.

 

Sango laughed behind her hand. Ever since Miroku had “accidentally” touched Lilliana's behind, she had taken a rather wary and sarcastic approach toward him. “Enough rest, let's go.” Lilliana said, hearing the two humans follow.

 

She suddenly stopped. Another book plopped down in front of her. It looked twice as old as the one Claire had given to her earlier. She sighed, going to pick it up. “Forgot to give me this?” It had Claire's scent on it.

 

She opened the book, looking the familiar scripture in it. It was written in her native tongue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inuyasha had no idea how he managed to get to the cave in one piece. He was officially willing to pull his fangs out! If it wasn't enough that his head was pounding, it was even more bothersome that he was beginning to feel weak from overexerting himself. After all that talk he had with Lilliana and how she should feed, it was he who was fasting now. However, he didn't want to rely on her too much. He hated relying on humans. Just a little further, he chanted to himself. If he could make it through this cave without killing Kagome, then he could go a few more days without biting her.

 

Kagome gulped. The sound of her throat muscles contracting and the air seeping into her lungs was enough to give his head another painful pound!

 

The rocky opening in the mountainside was probably intimidating to her. Moss grew on the sides and a tree had fallen, leaning against a large boulder that sat at the side of the cave entrance. The further he looked in, a black shadow took the place of the light.

 

“Are we really going in there?”

 

Inuyasha bit his tongue. Don't answer; hopefully it was a rhetorical question. “Inuyasha? Are you listening?”

 

Damn. He took a deep breath, “Yes, we're going through there.” He must have sounded like he was gasping for air.

 

“I was only asking. You didn't have to say it like that.” Never mind, he must have sounded exasperated, which was better in his opinion. “It's not…dark in there, is it?”

 

“It's a cave!” That sounded more forced then he wanted.

 

“Sorry! Jeez! I should have bought a flashlight. How am I going to go in there if I can't see?”

 

“I'll see for you.” He huffed. She smelled so nervous and slightly put off. Don't think about it! He ordered himself.

 

“How noble of you.” Kagome grumbled with a hint of sarcasm and uneasiness.

 

“You'd better put a jacket on.” He said, hoping that the extra clothing could hinder her scent. “It's a bit cold inside.”

 

“Um, Inuyasha…”

 

She was kidding right? “You didn't bring a jacket, did you?” He got his answer when she didn't reply. He growled out of frustration, removing his overcoat. Maybe he should be grateful she didn't bring warm clothing. If his scent was on her, perhaps he could concentrate easier.

 

“Here.” He said, his arm out to her. She took the jacket and slipped into it. “It's kind of big.” She complained. He was about to snap but she gave him a small thank you and he decided against it.

 

Inuyasha heard the blood rush through her and grinded his teeth together. She blushed way too much. The sooner they got in there the better, he thought as he circled his fingers around her wrist, forcing the urge to bite her back even more. Her skin was warm, in contrast to his burning temperature. It was ridiculous! The tiniest of breaths, or touches, or sounds and his blood would rush through his heart before pounding in his teeth.

 

“Wait a moment, can't we rest a bit?”

 

“No.” He ground out through clenched teeth.

 

Kagome gave an angry mumble behind him, but he ignored it, leading her into the cave. The chilly air inside welcomed him and he opened his eyes wide to see. The smell of stalagmite and stone was so refreshing and he took a deep, grateful gulp of air. His head cleared somewhat. Perhaps this wouldn't be so difficult after all.

 

Kagome heart began hammering the further they got from the light. Then they were both submerged in darkness. “I can't see a thing. What if there are bats, bears, or snakes in here. This so creepy.”

 

“You're worried about bats, bears and snakes when you have the deadliest being guiding you through this cave?” He answered, smirking inwardly.

 

“You're not as scary as the unknown. You have no idea how freaky this is.” Her heart rate increased and Inuyasha found, to his annoyance, that once his senses had gotten used to the cavern's setting, they once again focused on Kagome.

 

He had spoken too soon.

 

Kagome breathed in quickly like she was hyperventilating. The sharp intake of breath was hitting his ears. He tried pushing it out of his mind, but the silence of the grotto he was in made it nearly impossible. Kagome's constant closeness was also beginning to penetrate his thoughts. He tried not paying any attention to his hand around hers. Her skin seared him as though it were freezing ice. Her fingers were cold, even though his burning ones surrounded them.

 

He could feel her pulse. It was right next to his palm. The thumps of her heart sent tremors through his hand. Her scent came back, more powerful then before and now it was mixed with his.

 

Inuyasha let her go immediately, clutching his head. His growled. Even his lower fangs were growing now, ordering him to do something to quench his violent need to satisfy himself. They had grown painfully long that he couldn't even scowl without the two throbbing points touching each other.

 

His breaths came in quickly and could feel the last remains of fighting for dominance over his instincts. His heart pounded in his ears, in his teeth and neck. He felt heavy, his vision blurring and then everything was gone. There were no words in his mind. He could not even understand hers as her voice echoed in the darkness. He stood straight, his eyes wide, hissing, and his teeth bare.

 

 

 

 

 

It was so frightening to open her eyes and see nothing but black. She couldn't even see her fingers in front of her face. Following Inuyasha as he led her through the abysmal cave almost made her nauseous. She tripped several times when they first started walking, being caught by him every time. He made it a notion to tell her to watch her step afterward. It was cold, just as he said. Kagome was grateful she had his coat.

 

It smelled like him and when she first put it on, it was still burning from his heat. Kagome blushed again, glad that there wasn't enough light, but then she remembered that he could see in the dark and reddened even more, hoping he wasn't looking back at her. The air was so clean in the cave, crisp and cool. It made breathing in his smell intoxicating.

 

All Kagome could focus on was his hand and how hers burned in it. His fingers gripped her knuckles harshly and Kagome suddenly became aware that he was gasping. It was low, but in the silence of the cave, she could hear it well.

 

“Are you okay?” Barely had she said her sentence when Inuyasha's hand disappeared from her grasp. Kagome went hysterical, her heart thrashing so fast she couldn't even feel the distinct pounds anymore . “Don't let go!”

 

“This is not funny Inuyasha, stop playing around! Where are you?” She called frantically through the darkness. Kagome froze in her place, moving her hands out in front of her. She was afraid to move and hit something, or trip or fall into a hole.

 

“Inuyasha? Are you there?” Something held the collar of his coat, pulling it from her shoulders. Kagome shivered as the cold of the cave seeped in.

 

Fiery warmth touched her shoulders and she breathed in a sigh of relief and was about to censure him for startling her so, but her words were cut short. Her eyes widened almost painfully. She was pulled rearward, his arms encircling her waist. Kagome was held so tightly she almost couldn't breath. Her eyes squeezed shut and two stinging points of pain burned into her neck.

 

Kagome felt dizzier then ever when Inuyasha pulled his fangs from her. She couldn't hold her balance, falling backward. She felt him steady her against him, one arm holding her waist tightly. His finger found her neck, tracing down from underneath her chin to her throat to her collarbone, sinking beneath her shirt, between her breasts.

 

“W-what are you doing?”

 

The arm around her middle tightened, making her gasp nervously. His other hand rested against her chest, unmoving. Kagome felt him lean into her shoulder, his check nuzzling her jaw. Then he held still, just breathing and she could feel him exhale against her shoulder. Kagome gasped when he moved again suddenly, his hand following the crease of her neck, over her arm and down to her side, across her hip, his fingers sinking below her jeans.

 

“Stop.” Kagome tried to struggle but found that she was still weak from losing blood. His burning hand dipped further into her pants, pulling them and the other garment underneath down. Kagome felt the cold air kiss her thighs as he pushed the material down to her knees. She pressed her thighs together before air stopped in her throat.

 

He stiffened behind her, whispering into her ear. “Deep breaths.” Kagome let out a huff, finding the strength to struggle. The urge was whipped from her mind a second later, when the crisp cave air touched her nude form. How? She shook from the frost, its coldness seeping into her bones. It didn't last long. She was whipped around and held close to Inuyasha's burning, open skin.

 

“What are you doing? Inuyasha, let go!” She tried searching for her clothes, and prying his fingers off her waist, but his grip didn't slacken. Inuyasha moved in, his lips tracing light kisses along her jaw. Kagome became momentarily immobile.

 

She moaned, unable to go against it now, wrapping her arms around his torso. His response was to breath deeply, wrapping his arms around her back in return. There was no sight, no sound, only the feeling of warmth and flesh. Kagome held him tighter, her breasts pushed between them. She dragged her fingers over him, feeling him breath in again. She'd never had the chance to touch him, and would never have done so in her right mind. But she wasn't in her right mind. She was possessed, her eyes closed. His skin was marbled, polished, as though he was carved from stone by a master sculptor.

 

Inuyasha lowered his hands to the small of his back, lifting her up so his lips could meet hers. Kagome held onto his shoulders in a vice grip, letting his tongue seek hers. Her fingers tangled in his hair, as she fought back against his tongue, delightfully losing as he took control. He pressed her firmly against him, diving further into her mouth and body. One hand let go of her back, sliding between them and delicately holding a breast.

 

Kagome tore away from him, gasping and leaning back as though offering herself to him. He ran his tongue over his mark and she could feel the light, wet trail of his lips as he moved downward, taking her nipple into his mouth. Kagome pushed at his shoulders as he began teasing her with his tongue, flicking it over the tip while his free hand gave its twin a light squeeze. Kagome convulsed and mewed, gasping.

 

This sight of her back arching, her face twisted in painful pleasure was enough to make his already awake loins tighten. Wanting to push her more, he moved his free hand from her breast down to her buttocks, lifting her up. Kagome gave a low moan as he stroked the muscles on her behind, following his lead and wrapping her legs around his middle.

 

Once she was steady, he took the initiative, his hand following the curve of her leg, lightly rubbing the underside of her thigh. Kagome's arms shook and she wrapped her hands around his neck, pushing back against him, breathing next to his ear. He leaned his jaw into her shoulder, one arm supporting her on the back, the other running between her thighs, finding her already moist center. Kagome groaned, clutching his shoulders, her nails digging into his skin as she felt him slip a finger inside of her. She gave a small yelp and shook as he began working her, moving his finger in and out before adding a second digit, speeding up and then adding a third. She muffled her cry into his neck, her walls welcoming his hand as he dove deeper into her, wiggling his fingers. Kagome screeched, the intense wave of pleasure building faster, higher as he continued.

 

Her legs tightened around him and he knew she was close. He nuzzled her cheek, and she returned the gesture with a delighted wail, her inner walls tightening even more around his fingers. Kagome grit her teeth, throwing her head back. The smell of her filled his senses, only enticing him further. Her heart pounded wildly in his ears, its sweet melody luring him into her once more.

 

Kagome was barely coming down from her high when she felt him join with her, filling her to the brim with one fast stroke. Instant desire spread through her being as she felt his burning heat inside of her. Her skin flushed crimson, her legs constricted around him as he began to move. Fire covered Kagome from head to toe, smoldering her through on the inside like an infernal passion.

 

Inuyasha hissed, latching on to her mouth as she squealed and moaned in blazing bliss. Her fingers punctured the skin of his back, telling him of her impatience and demand for satisfaction. His hands pushed her hips into him, giving him better access as he plunged into her firm lava passage. Kagome opened her mouth on a gasp and he took his chance, suckling on her tongue.

 

It was almost unbearable to feel his fiery thrusts into her and battle his tongue at the same time. Kagome couldn't breathe, she didn't want to. Her breaking point drew closer, and she clutched onto Inuyasha as though her soul couldn't live without him. His thrusts came faster, churning her insides till the overpowering pleasure was unbearable, but he didn't stop there. Pain erupted from his claws sinking into the fragile skin of her hips, but she ignored it, pushing against him when he thrust up, meeting him hallway.

 

Then she completely lost it. Her hands found his hair, yanking hard on the supple, silvery strands. He gave a shocked groan but returned her gesture full force, granting her wish. His thrusts became harder, vicious, unyielding, like a wildfire. Her legs shook, pressing around him so hard it was like she wanted to break his bones.

 

Kagome gave his hair another greedy jerk and he felt her pull away from his lips, screaming from the rising temperature. He gave her another fierce push the same time he bit down hard on her neck. Her warm, sour, and sweet blood filled his throat, furthering his passion, increasing his need to fill her and take her for complete. The feeling of his fangs in her soft skin sent him over the edge. His movements became even more brutal then before.

 

Kagome screamed, arching her back, pressing deeper against his feverish body. Carnal, fast-pace, and staggering blows of pressure siphoned off of him, attacking her hard between her thighs and breasts. Kagome's ferocious scream of satisfaction echoed through the cave walls as she came intensely.

 

Her scream did it. No longer able to hold himself back, with a loud growl, Inuyasha gave her one last fierce blow, emptying himself inside her as he joined in her climax.

 

He fell to his knees, bringing her down with him. Her enthralling panting was agiasnt his ear as she leaned on him for support, her legs weak. Inuyasha reluctantly pulled his fangs out of her neck so he could gather air. His head had cleared, his fangs didn't pulse and he felt a thousand times stronger. Kagome's hands came up to his shoulders and he remembered was still holding her frail and tired body.

 

She could feel her knees touching the cold stone of the cave floor, but her true concern was holding on to his hot skin a little longer. She didn't have the strength to move, her arms, legs, fingers and toes shaking still from her release. She felt content to just feel Inuyasha's bare skin against her. He kissed her softly on the forehead and she gave him a small peck on the chin. They sat there for a few moments, still joined, enjoying the feeling of mutual warmth.

 

Then he moved, pulling out from within her. Kagome whimpered as he removed himself. Her center was so sore and now that she wasn't consumed by desire, she could feel the points where his claws had broken the skin on her hips. She tried to dislodge herself away from him, but he held her hips firmly.

 

“Don't move.”

 

Something hot and wet covered the puncture wounds. It took a moment for Kagome to realize it was his tongue. The moist appendage soothed the ache and Kagome realized how physically drained she felt. She couldn't keep her eyes open any longer, even surprised that she had stayed awake after he bit her for the second time.

 

Inuyasha felt her slip into unconsciousness the same time the haze in his mind fully cleared. He let her rest her, sweaty and warm body against him, unwilling to let go for the moment even though he felt horrible. When he was finally free of all animalistic needs, he mentally scowled at himself at the damage he had done. He'd never bitten her twice in one day, more then three pints by his count. It was amazing that she had lasted this long, let alone kept awake while they were…Inuyasha growled. He had let things go too far, let his demonic instincts take over. He hoped that the damage would be minimal. She would be tired and sore, not only from losing suck large amounts of blood, but also because of the physical exertion he had put her through.

 

His scowl deepened. If he hadn't had been so weak, he could have fought against it longer, but it was like his body refused, demanding nourishment. It had been a mistake to give her his coat. The moment his survival instincts took over, he went ballistic, tearing apart some of the rock formations in the cave so he could ease the pain of his fangs. His only thought back then had been to bite her, but when he smelled her scent and how it mixed tantalizingly with his, his other urge seconded his want to bite her. Not that he didn't enjoy it, but he was racked with quilt that he repeated his past mistake and would no doubt have a rampaging female to deal with when she awakened.

 

Another thought irked him. Why had he gone so far as to not only bite her twice but also assault her sexually? Seven hundred years of perfect control and this one insignificant…confusing human was enough to drive his senses over the edge, but he couldn't deny that there was something that called him to her. There had to be some kind of physical reaction to her blood, or magnetic force that made him act the way he had today. He wasn't in control of himself at all. He never had cravings for a single human, nor had anyone's scent affected him so strongly. And he never paid so much attention to his prey, memorizing every heartbeat, every breath, and every movement like he was a wolf stalking a deer.

 

At the very least he would have an easier time carrying her through the cave. He reluctantly searched for their clothes and to his distain found that he had ripped her clothing to pieces. Picking up his coat, he threw it over her, fastening the buttons. It fastened over her like a black dress, the sleeves were large and the hem was long. Covering himself, he pulled her onto his back. She dozed soundlessly and he could smell her acutely since she was so close: her arousal, his scent all over her, her breathing.

 

Sighing, he looked at her over his shoulder, not knowing why she made him lose his ability to retrain himself, and continued his way through the cave.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OH. MY. HOLY. GOD! (Hides) I am NEVER going to think of caves the same way again! Please be nice and review nicely. This was murder to write! It's only my second lemon, I still don't feel comfortable about it, and not to mention I rushed to complete it because I wanted it uploaded by Valentines. However, I know several of you were waiting for Inuyasha and Kagome fluff, well I hope this fulfills your wish and smack dab on the day of lust and sex too: the ides of February. (Gulp) I think I'm going to need a REALLY LONG cold shower after this.
