InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Passionate Disputes ❯ Aftermath: True Love Finally Revealed ( Chapter 10 )

Author's Notes: Sorry about the delay of this chap but after I wrote the chap last week on paper and this earlier this week I was going to type it up on the comp, I lost the papers to which I wrote the chap on. The next day I found it but I had a quiz to study for so I had to delay typing the chap up. Anyway, it's done so I hope everyone will enjoy it but don't expect another chap anytime soon. I originally planned for this chap to be the last one but after thinking about it for a while, I changed my mind and decided to add a few more chaps. I'm only going up to chap 16 and no more than that. Anyway, I'm taking a break from this fic for a while to work on another fic. Back in February I told some ppl that I'd back to work on another fic I started a year ago but never finished and the next chap for that was suppose to come out sometime last month so I'm already late with it cuz I've been so busy with this fic and renovating some major sections of my website, which I'm still doing. I'm one busy girl these days. Anyway, just don't expect another update next week. I'll probably have one in 2 or 3 weeks or a month's time. I'm sorta gonna interweave things. I'll write one chap to the other fic and write a chap for this fic and so on. So don't expect me to give up on this fic. I don't plan on doing that. In future chaps, I plan to bring Koga back. I'm gonna bring Sesshomaruinto the picture as well and I plan on havin' another lemon too. Well, that's all I have to say for now. Ja ne!

Inu Yasha feels good, really really good, that he doesn't want to come out of the dreamy state he's in. He feels something warm in front of him so, since he's already has a hold on it, he tightens his grasp on it for comfort. With his hand on her belly, he pulls her closer towards him. He sniffs a bit and feels a mass of hair in front of his face. He becomes curious and slowly wakes from his dazed sleep. He is in a hazy state and, once he opens his eyes, he becomes confused. After he smells a certain scent, it suddenly dawns on him that the person in front of him is indeed Kagome. Then he remembers what transpired between them the night before and he smiles fondly, reminiscing about every memory of the night before through his head. He scoots over and moves closer to her, to be as close as possible with his mate.

Kagome also enjoys the sleepy state that's she's currently in. She doesn't want to wake up either but as soon as she feels something behind her move, it suddenly registers in her mind that she's not alone so her eyes snap open immediately in alertness. Then she takes in her surroundings and suddenly remembers everything that she and Inu Yasha did the night before. It all comes rushing back to her and she blushes profusely because of it.

"Good morning mate!" Her body flinches in surprise but he didn't notice. How did he know that she was awake?

"Good morning to you too, Inu Yasha!"

He snuggles closer to her and inhales her sweet scent then says, "It feels so good to wake up to you like this. I look forward to doing this for the rest of my life." Kagome blushes some more and starts to feel tense. Inu Yasha senses this. "Relax Kagome! What are you so worried about?"

"Nothing! It was about what you just said. I feel...I feel..."

"What? Do you regret what we've done? Didn't you want to be my mate?"

Kagome thinks to herself for a moment about being his mate and him calling her that. "Inu Yasha, that's not it at all. I want to be your mate more than anything in this world. It's...it's just after what we did that I...I feel a little nervous still, that's all. I swear."

"Okay! Don't worry, I believe you." She finally begins to relax and he starts kissing her neck. This sends delightful shivers coursing down her spine. When he comes in contact with his mark, he smiles. He sniffs his scent on her and that thought alone delights him to no end. He then proceeds to lick his mark, causing Kagome to gasp at the wonderful sensation she feels because of it.

She reaches behind her to find his mark but can't feel it since it's flat but she does find where the spot is since it's obviously where he had just licked her momentarily before. She touches it and shivers again because the flesh there is sensitive. "Is that the mark you gave me?" she asks in wonder.

"Yeah! That's where I bit you. Your flesh there will always be tender now. For now on, when you or I touch it, it will be very sensitive."

She takes her hand away. "I understand." He continues to kiss her neck and lick his mark on her for a few minutes longer, both of them simply enjoying the morning after together. With both of them waking up together and Kagome laying in his embrace, it's something that just feels right between them both. He finally stops his ministrations and she takes the time to turn around in his embrace to face him. As she does this, she winces slightly because of the pain she instantly feels between her legs but she holds no regret in the love that she and Inu Yasha expressed towards each other last night. The loving display of affections they gave each other were beautiful and memorable to last a lifetime so she ignore the minor pain she feels and turns around to face him fully. She rests her head on his chest and rubs it affectionately with her hand while he puts his arm around her to hold her closer to him. They both lay in silence for a while until Inu Yasha breaks it and says, "Last night was truly amazing, ya know?"

"Yeah! It was the greatest night of my life. All my dreams have finally come true."

"Mine too!"

"Do you think that we should be heading back now before the others start worrying about us?"

"Nah! Remember that no one else knows you're here. They just expect me to still be waiting for you to come back through the well like I did everyday you were gone so I doubt that they'd really worry about me. They know that I can take care of myself."

"I'm so sorry for worrying you, Inu Yasha. I never meant to..."

"It's okay Kagome. Just drop it okay?"

"But..."

"I don't want to get into this discussion again, okay? Just leave it behind in the past. I don't wanna talk about it." 'Geesh! Does this bitch gotta piss me off even more?'

"Okay!" Kagome says dejectedly.

"Look, talking about it will only serve to remind me of that huge argument that we had the other day. I just want to pretend like we never had that argument, okay?"

"Oh! Okay! I understand."

"Besides, none of that matters because you're my mate now. You're mine forever."

"In which case, I belong to you, right?"

"Correct! I own you for life since you freely gave yourself to me, therefore I control you like what you wear and what you can and cannot do." He smiles smugly in satisfaction after saying all that.

She pounds his chest slightly in frustration then sits up and glares down at him. "Hey! You don't own me like that."

"Yes, I do!" He smirks.

"No, you don't! I'm my own person, an individual, who can do whatever she wants without anyone controlling her. Got that?"

"Whatever!" He sees the spark of anger in his mate's eyes and enjoys it. 'I love it when she's so fierce and all fiery like that.' He yawns and his face becomes emotionless.

'Why the nerve of that guy? He thinks that can can just run my life just like that.' She clenches her fist in annoyance while he just continues to look at her and smirks again. 'And just look at him lying there grinning like a chesire cat. If he thinks that he can just control my life just like that, after what we shared together last night, well then he's got another thing coming to him.' Suddenly her mood of anger drastically changes to one of sadness. 'Plus last night, didn't that mean anything to him? After...after I gave him my...my virginity.' She begins to cry.

"Look, don't start crying on me now, bitch. You know how much I hate it when you do that so I order you to stop that at once."

"I can't...*sniff*...You could have at least told me this before we...you know...*sniff*...when we talked before." He grins and says to her slyly, "Must have slipped my mind." She's compelled to cry even harder but refrains from doing so. "Look, you agreed to be my mate for life, okay? You chose me and vice versa. I also chose you to bear my mark. You should at least be grateful and feel honored. Why must you always take things so seriously anyway? You should know by now that I highly respect you and would never force you to do anything against your own will. Geesh woman! You can be so stupid sometimes," he says while sitting up and grits his teeth in irritation.

She stops her crying and looks astonished. "You mean you don't intend to..."

"Hell no but that's what would be expected since I married you in the demon way. Traditionally, you're my wife now and would be expected to obey me and do everything I say. What I said before was all true but I didn't mean any of it seriously. I do expect you to obey me sometimes but not most of the time. You are you're own person and I respect that so I allow you to do whatever you want. I was just messing with your mind before. Geesh!" He folds his arms across his chest, closes his eyes and sighs in exasperation.

"WHAT??? How dare you play with my emotions like that?"

'Oh yeah! She's back. There's the fiery bitch that I know and love.' "It was worth it though just to see the look on your face."

"I thought you were serious. Don't you ever do that again or else...wait...did you just call me your wife?" She blinks a few times in amazement and he grins again.

"Or else what Kagome?"

"Just answer the question!"

"Answer my first!"

"I asked you first. Just answer the damn question Inu Yasha!"

"Yeah! I did call you my wife because it's true just like you can now call me your husband." Kagome covers her mouth with her hand and takes in everything he just told her. "Oh my gosh! You're wife. I'm actually you're wife," she squeaks out then she thinks about it to herself for a moment and smiles, liking the idea of that as well as him being called her husband.

Inu Yasha smells the air momentarily and smiles then responds, "Yeah! You're now my wife. I can definitely smell myself on you and you're pregnant too Kagome."

"That's nice. WHAT???" Kagome's eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets.

"Well besides our scents that I smell, I also smell a third scent emanating from you."

Full realization finally dawns on Kagome. Her face flies down to her stomach as she grasps it with her hand to see the proof of his possession where none could dispute it. "I'm pregnant, "she says astonishingly.

"Yep! The fruit of our union now grows within you but it makes sense though. After all, we did talk about it before hand and I told you the risks were very high since you were in heat so you're chances at becoming pregnant with my pup would be very high."

"Your pup!"

"No, our pup. It was a mistake before to call it my pup alone. It's yours to, ya know. Anyway, in the end, you were very fertile and all I had to do was plant my seed deep within you for a pregnancy to most likely occur." This causes Kagome to blush. "Anyway, the deed is done and we can't undo it. You're probably right about what ya said earlier. We should probably start heading back now and let the others know that you've come back."

Kagome still blushes but manages to look Inu Yasha in the face. "Yeah, you're right! We should head back now." 'Wow! He looks so handsome and I can't believe that I'm pregnant with his child. I knew before we did this that there was a possibility but now that I actually know, it's just a truly amazing emotion to feel.'

Inu Yasha gets up, purposely letting Kagome see his butt, then turns around to face her in all of his glory. Kagome takes in the sight of him and stares in awe. He likes the look he sees on his mate's face. "But before we go back, we outta get cleaned up first." He sniffs the air. "There's a spring not too far from here. We can get cleaned up there before we head back to the village." She nods in agreement then gets up to join him in gathering their clothes. As she gets up, she feels some more pain in her lower abdomen but she ignores and. Also as she gets up, her pert breasts bounce slightly. Inu Yasha sees this which turns him on to no end. She still feels rather shy about being naked in front of him so she uses her arms to cover her breasts. He walks up to her and she blushes even more than she already is. He removes her hands away from her chest and says, "There's no need to be shy Kagome. Like there isn't enough that I've seen or touched for that matter." He giggles a bit then she relaxes in his presence and becomes brave, not being shy anymore in the presence of her mate. She takes the initiative and kisses him. He's a bit taken back at her forwardness but soon after he is eagerly kissing her back. Soon their tongues plunge in each other's mouths and they dance together. Inu Yasha takes one of his hand and squeezes her breast, causing her to moan and push into him a little to feel more pleasure. He then takes his other hand and slowly caresses her back with it then lets it drop down to her butt and grips it there. This causes her to push more into him until his manhood brushes against her thighs and both of them get turned on all the more. Suddenly he breaks off the kiss to tell her, "As much as I would love to make love to you again, my instincts are telling me that I should wait."

"Why?"

"You must be sore, right?" She nods. "That's why! We should at least wait until you've fully recovered, okay? I don't want to hurt you anymore than I already had to. I love you too much."

"Okay! I love you too." They kiss briefly one more time before they continue to gather up their clothes. He picks up his sword and clothes while she picks up the jewel and her clothes as well. As they leave, Kagome steals one last look back at where they spent there first night together. There's still evidence of their lovemaking there. This spot will always be very special to her and she will always hold it close to her heart since this is where she gave up something very special to herself to him and where she became pregnant too. Then she turns away and they walk together to the nearby spring and enjoy the company of each other. They keep stealing glances at one another and blush because of it. After a while into their walk, Kagome asks, "What do we tell the others once we get back? Probably none of them will notice what we did since we'll be washing the evidence away but do you still want them to know about us?"

"Umm...I'm not sure. I guess so. I haven't really thought about it. What do you want?"

"Well I'd rather we tell them then them finding out some other way. Is that okay with you?"

"Umm...no! Look, I've changed my mind. I don't want them to know yet, okay? We'll tell them later but for now it's something I just wanna share between us, okay? Is that too hard to ask?"

"No...*sighs*...that will do for now. But promise me that we won't keep it from them for long, okay?"

"Fine! I promise! Just gimme more time to think about it, okay?"

"Okay!" They continue to walk the rest of the way in silence.
