What Sesshomaru hadn't told Kaede was that Inuyasha was one of the four Chosen. It made things more difficult for her because she knew Sesshomaru wanted Inuyasha dead. He was only being considerate because of Kagome. It didn't surprise her that Sesshomaru cared so little for his brother. After all, he hated most humans, with Kagome as the only exception so it was no wonder he hated his half-brother, who was half human.
Kaede stared at Inuyasha, narrowing her eyes in annoyance as he spewed out the contents he'd just been given to drink.
"Geez, what the hell did you put in this? Are you trying to finish me off?" Inuyasha threw the cup across the hut and wiped his arm across his mouth, cursing at the acrid taste in his mouth.
"No, Inuyasha. Now you'll have to drink another cup full. That is a special herb remedy that will help your body to rest." Kaede sighed. Inuyasha was nothing like his brother. If anything, he was more like a pouting child.
"I am not drinking that shit—"
"You will or I'll put this back on you."
Inuyasha broke out in a sweat as he stared at the bead necklace in Kaede's hands. Hell no. He did not want that back around his neck. She had called it "Beads of Subjugation". He had refused her first offer of help and had almost stormed out of the hut when she had slipped the necklace around his neck and then the next thing he knew he was being slammed face first in the ground. He hadn't been able to move for a good few seconds and that wasn't all. He hadn't even been able to remove the damn thing. Kaede had removed the necklace but only under the condition that he receive her care.
"Fine." He muttered. It was humiliating being controlled by an old hag but he'd do it. Until he could get ahold of that necklace and do away with it.
"Tell me, Inuaysha. Do you know of the Chosen four?"
Inuyasha snorted and pinched his nose as he swallowed the medicine. Tasted like piss for God's sake. "Ah! That shit is nasty." He wiped his mouth again. "Yea, I know all about that crap. Why?"
"Are you one of the Chosen?"
She was a nosy old hag. He wasn't sure how to answer her. He could just lie to her. "Yea and Sesshomaru's not her Mate."
"Hmm."
"What?"
"I've known that Sesshomaru is not her Mate. Do you not find it odd that he was able to Mate her?"
"Not until recently. In case you haven't noticed, I haven't been around the last 50 years. That bitch Kikyo sealed me to that tree."
"My sister was not the kindest of women." Kaede murmured.
"You're telling me." Inuyasha snorted and rubbed at his chest. His body should have healed itself by now.
"Inuyasha, are you Kagome's Mate?"
His head jerked up. "What the fuck?"
She ignored his language. "Are you her Mate?"
He didn't answer right away. The thought hadn't even occurred to him. Was he? The possibility was there. He was one of the Chosen. No, he was wrong in that. He was one of the four Chosen but he knew that between the four Chosen that only one was her true Mate. There was no 'if' or 'maybe' in that. But was he? "I would know if she was my Mate, right?"
"Yes."
Disappointment filled him. Then he wasn't her Mate. He didn'tknow.grunted and lay back on the pallet and crossed his arms beneath his head, tired all of a sudden. "Then I'm not her Mate." His brows furrowed as he stared up at the ceiling. That would leave two others. He'd kill that psychotic bastard Naraku if he was her Mate. He didn't give a damn because that fucker was too evil for someone like Kagome. Someone so vile would defile her sweet innocence—everything that she was. He hadn't even realized how much he wanted Kagome until Kaede had asked him that damned question. His ears flickered as Kaede stood up but he ignored her.
Kaede stared down at him for a moment before she turned and exited the hut. She shook her head. Denial was a powerful thing.
She just hoped the two could come to grips with their destiny before it was too late. It was true, what she had said to Kagome. The Power would slowly take Inuyasha's life once he turned human unless something happened to stop the flow. Inuyasha was indeed Chosen—he was her Mate. But he couldn't survive the Power of the Jewel without Kagome. He had to have Kagome as Sesshomaru had, for so long now. Bonded. If not, it would take a miracle to save him…
~*~
Kagome lifted her head to the night sky. It had only been two days since she had seen Inuyasha. Two days since Kaede had said the Power of the Jewel would start to drain Inuyasha of his life's essence. She hadn't even realized the full moon was so close. And he would be human. She had only seen him in his human form once.
She pressed her hand over her chest. "Do I let him die?" She whispered. She wanted—needed—the Jewel to answer. It would be so much easier to let him die so the Power would be restored to her. The Jewel was silent, leaving her mind in turmoil. Was this her decision to make?
The Power of the Jewel had faded and already there had been attacks from all sides. Other demons had sensed the Power of the Jewel. They were useless though. They couldn't call to the Jewel or possess the Power. And they didn't stand a chance against Sesshomaru. With the Prophecy crippled there was no need for him to take her. But she still had to purify the Jewel.
She had expected Kagura to show any moment but there was no sign of her. Sesshomaru should go to her…but he didn't and she knew the reason was to keep watch over her. She balled her fist, pressing her hand against the center of her chest. "Damn you, what do I do? Do I make this decision on my own?" She whispered.
'Yes…'
Her eyes slid open, the look in her eyes sad. Nothing about the Jewel would ever be easy. This was no different. And as she stopped outside of the hut Inuyasha resided in, she realized she was scared. Frightened that she would walk in and see his dead body. Night had fallen and the moon was fall. He was human. It wasn't the middle of the night. She couldn't sleep and dawn would break the sky in a matter of hours, even less. She stilled her breath and pushed open the flap and stepped into the semi darkness.
A fired had burned to embers, leaving a soft glow. Her nails dug into her palms as she sank to her knees beside him. He looked so peaceful. His hair was long and dark, almost pitch black. But he was so pale. Her hand shook as she placed her hand against his chest and felt the telltale rise of his chest. Her eyes slid closed in relief. He was alive. She realized what her decision would be then. She wouldn't let him die. She could withdraw the Power from his body without taking that rout.
But she knew Kaede had told the truth. The Jewel was draining him of life. He was pale and the look on his face was one of weakness. She had felt the heat coming off his body but it wasn't as warm as it had been before.
"I've made my choice." She whispered.
She held her hand out over the center of his chest, splaying it wide so her palm was directed over the energy. She closed her eyes and felt the pulse of the power inside her. She concentrated, calling softly—mentally—to the power inside of him. She could feel it gathered in the center of his chest. Waiting. So close to the surface…She frowned and opened her eyes, confusing deep in the set. She could feel the fragment of Power beneath his skin but it would go no further.
"…the same way it was given…"
She removed her hand and dropped it into her lap, staring down at his prone form. The Power had been drawn through their kiss. She understood. She moved closer, close enough so that her knees brushed his ribs. She leaned over him and her hand shook as she touched his hair, the silky black strands and then closed the distance between them, their lips. She closed her eyes, waiting for the power to fuel up through them but somehow she knew it wasn't going to happen this way. Their last kiss hadn't been like this.
She leaned further over him and dropped her hands to rest on either side of his shoulders. She didn't straddled him, merely kept her place beside him. Her body pressed down against his chest as she pressed her lips against his again. She remembered how he had kissed herthenflicked her tongue over his lips and pushed past. She wouldn't deny the strangeness of the situation when he lay unmoving beneath her. But the Jewel was a powerful thing, the power passionate in its own right. To retrieve that power she would have to sacrifice something. A kiss to equal in that power was hers given. She moved her lips over his softly, her movements gentle. Her tongue slid inside his mouth tentatively and she felt his lips slide against hers in answer, moving...
Her chest restricted and she started to pull away, rising up over him. Her heart fluttered as his eyes slid open. They were no longer golden but a deep, dark brown. "Kagome…don't…leave me. Not yet." She felt his hands slide up her back, his arms circling around her in a gentle embrace. His words were so low she almost didn't hear them. "Let me hold you a little while longer…I canfeelyou're near…I can breathe again…"
She didn't understand what that meant but she couldn't deny him that small request. But she knew if he had been in his half demon form, he wouldn't have said those words. He was human and human emotions controlled so easily. They made one weak, especially when you weren't used to them.
She felt one of his hands slide higher up her back, gently pulling her back down and she didn't resist. Not even when he whispered, "Again, Kagome. The pain stops when you're near…when you kiss me…"
Even that, she didn't understand the meaning. But she kissed him again. He somehow felt different as a human. He was gentler—more human than any other she had ever met. She sank against him and felt his hands slide into her hair as the kiss deepened and she felt the gentle thrust of his tongue in her mouth, sliding over her own, teasing her. She waited for the Power to flow back up into her, waited to feel the pulse of energy from his body as he kissed her but she didn't. She didn't feel anything but his body and his hands. Didn't feel anything but the warmth of his kiss.
His hands moved and then she felt him tugging her more fully over him. She had felt the weakness in him when he had touched her before but the hollow weakness in his hands had dimmed. She fell against him and sighed, the sound trapped between their lips. And still, there was nothing. No flare of Power, no tingle or pulse. The kiss was slow and gentle. There was no hurry between them. It was just that—a slow kiss that was more passionate than anything she had ever felt. She could kiss him forever like this.
His hands moved again, sliding down her back and then up before they shifted, sliding over the sides of her ribs and then back around to span against the small of her back. He pulled her more fully over him till she was over him, her body aligned over his. Stronger than before. He lifted himself up, probing himself up on his elbows and then his hands were cupping her hips and he was moving them over, turning her onto her side, closer to her back. She pulled her lips away, her heart pounding as she pulled back—
He shuddered and groaned softly. "Don't. Don't leave…I canfeelwhen you're near me…the pain stops…Don't…leave…" He muttered again.
She shook her head and ran her fingers through his hair. "I'm not." She cupped his neck and sank the last few inches onto her back. He followed, the weight of his body covering hers, his hair a dark curtain around them as she kissed him again. He had been in pain and she hadn't even known it. Somehow, she eased that pain, being near him did. His lips moved against hers, his tongue sliding over hers in a teasing caress that had her lips clinging to his. And all they did was kiss. A kiss that had her heart pounding. A kiss that had her body hot, a kiss that left her whole body aching. Through it all, she felt no flare of power.
Why?
She soon didn't care. She couldn't think enough to care as one hand spanned her ribcage through the layers of her kimono before slowly sliding up. Her heart leapt in her throat as his hand slid over the slope of her breast and then he cupped her flesh, weighing it in his hand. Oh God. She turned her head, just inches, so that so that her lips pressed against the corner of his and she sucked in a sharp breath. He squeezed and she shuddered beneath him. She hadn't known…thought…she hadn't even imagined.
He turned his head and she expected him to capture her lips again but they shifted course and moved along the curve of her chin before dipping lower. His nudged her head back with his forehead and followed the line of her neck, his tongue dipping into the indention at the base. "Inu…yasha…" Kagome whispered, her hands fisting in his hair as his hand tightened again and then his thumb moved, sliding over her nipple through the clothing. She hadn't imagined a touch could leave her breathless, that a touch could be so hot. It was indecent but so sinfully hot, the feeling one of pleasure. He squeezed her breast again and this time, she moaned. Her eyes slit open as his hand slid up, moving from the breast he had tortured with his touch. His fingers nudged the side flap of her top and then his hand was sliding inside, touching her bare flesh, sliding over her collar bone.
Her throat worked convulsively as she swallowed, trying to survive through his touch. He was going to touch her. And she didn't want to stop him. Sesshomaru had never touched her like this, never even kissed her like this. She had known Miroku and Sango had something different but what she had with Inuyasha now was ecstasy. She hadn't known a mere touch could have her wanting to scream. She almost did scream when he cupped her bare breast in his hand beneath her clothing.
She shuddered beneath him, her breast near overflowing his hand. Her nipple was hard and she could feel it stabbing his palm as he squeezed and pushed the flesh upward. She almost begged him to touch her again he moved his hand but then he was grabbing her hands and tugging her up onto her knees. He grasped the tie in her kimono and before she realized it he was pushing the material off her shoulders. Without warning he leaned down and closed his lips around her nipple, cupping her breast in his hand and pushing it up. She cried out, the sound low, muffled as she fell back.
He followed and hooked his forefinger in material still covering her other shoulder and tugged it back. She sucked in a sharp breath as his hand cupped her other breast seconds after baring it. She shuddered as his teeth nipped her nipple and with the other, he tugged, two fingers pulling before he was squeezing again, kneading her flesh. Oh God, it was so good...so hot…
He rolled his hips against hers, grinding down and she felt him. Felt the thick, heavy length of him throbbing between her legs, pressing directly against her burning core. She moaned, unable to hold the sound back as he abruptly switched to the other breast, kissing the engorged nipple and sucking it into his mouth. He tugged the kimono further off her shoulders with both hands till the material was trapped halfway down her arms and beneath her.
He'd been naked from the waist up when she had come in so when she braced her hands against his chest, all she felt was hot, hard heated muscle. She moaned in denial against the restriction confining her movements. She wanted to touch him more. She almost knocked him off her as she jerked her arms free but he was back in an instant, cupping her breast, teasing both nipples till she was biting her lip against the moans rising up. As her hands moved over his chest he came up over her fully and kissed her again. His hands seemed to be drawn to her breasts each time.
She didn't mind.
Kagome moaned in denial when one of his hands dropped, fingers splayed wide over her stomach. She tore her lips away. "No…touch me. Please." She whispered, begging. She wanted his hand on her again, cupping her breast, leaving her breathless.
"I will." He whispered, his hand slowly sliding lower. She didn't realize his intent until he was pushing his hand past the restriction of the kimono skirt at her waist and then he was cupping her bare flesh. She arched up, moaning deep in her throat as his fingers pressed up against the hot, wet heat of her body. He pressed the heel of his hand against her, rubbing between her thighs in slow, gentle movements. His fingers grew slick and her thighs tightened around his hips. Her eyes slid closed as she felt one finger dip down before slowly pushing into her body. She tensed beneath him, her hands sliding over his shoulders. Her nails dug into his skin as his hand shifted and his finger curled inside her, teasing before pulling back.
She expected him to slide his finger back in but his hand slid back up, his finger leaving a cool, damp trail up her body till he cupped her breast again. His finger circled her nipple, damping the flesh before he leaned down and sucked it into his mouth. She cried out as his tongue swirled around it, lapping at her nipple, sucking her body's juices from it. He stopped then and released her nipple with a pop and leaned back, his arms stretched. He stared down at her, the look on his face pained.
"Touch me." His voice was hoarse. Inuyasha was begging.
Kagome knew what he wanted. She'd be a fool to say she didn't want to touch him, to feel him in her hand. She reached down, her arm brushing his stomach as she cupped him through his pants. He arched into her hand, his hand falling back but even as he did that, groaning, he shook his head. "No, touch mehere." His fingers curled around her wrist and he jerked her hand back but not away. He jerked her hand down his pants so that she met bare flesh, her fingers circling the hot, thick long length of his erection. Her fingers closed around him, slim and eager to feel, to touch.
He was bigger than she had thought and as she moved her hand up and down his shaft in a slow glide she watched the expression on his face. A look of tight pain crossed his features but she knew what he felt was far from pain. He throbbed in her hand and she swept her thumb over the tip and felt an answering wetness.
"Kagome." Inuyasha groaned out, rocking his hips into her eager hand.
It was hard to believe that his body could have something so hard but so soft at the same time. So strong. She squeezed him, testing and then stroked him again—experimenting. And he fell against her and kissed her. She arched, her lips opening for the slow thrust of his tongue. She was burning, her body on fire, so hot and wet that she knew she'd never be the same. His hips rocked slowly, his cock feeling her hand as she stroked him over and over.
The kiss rocked her world just as much as the feel of him in her hand. Her lips tingled, her tongue tasting his, burning, flowing up—
She jerked her lips back, panic filling her eyes. Oh God, not now. She stared up at him, the passion filled glaze in his eyes dark eyes staring down at her. She'd felt the Power flowing up, drawn by Inuyasha—Finally. But it had been wrong. It washerthe Power bottled up inside her body that was coming up to him again.
Kaede had been wrong.
She felt his hand cup the back of her head, drawing her lips back against his. A shudder wracked her body and she turned her head to the side, blocking the kiss she would have begged for. He couldn't. She couldn't.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha groaned out, his lips moving against the corner of hers.
"No…I can't. Please." Kagome whispered and gripped his hair, the dark strands sliding over her skin. She pushed his head down, felt his lips sliding over the slope of her breast before he was taking control of the movement, capturing her nipple in his mouth. He thrust into her hand again, growing harder—bigger, as his tongue and teeth teased her. His hands lowered, his fingers curving over skirt that covered her hips. He tugged, forcing the material to slide off but it tangled around her legs before he lifted himself slightly, catching one leg with his foot and jerking it down.
His body pulsed against hers, a hard, deep vibe.
Her eyes slid open as he pulled his hips back and his cock slid from her grasp. His fingers curled around her wrist, pulling her hand out of the way and then she felt his hips settle between her thighs. She lifted her lids as she felt the hot length of his cock settle between her thighs, the thick mushroomed head resting against the wet core of her body. Her mind screamed a warning and she knew she should stop him but she couldn't remember why. This was it. But still he held there, his body trembling. He had braced himself over her, his arms stretched so he was partially levered off her, his hands planted flat against the ground.
Still, he waited. His body throbbed again, pulsing hard against hers. "Kagome."
She lifted her gaze to his face when he spoke her name. He stared down at her, his dark hair falling around them. She could feel his heavy cock barely pressing inside her…
"Kagome." He whispered her name again, his body tensing as another deep hard pulse jolted through his body. What was he waiting for? Light filtered in from the door behind them slowly and she tilted her head and then turned it, watching as it spread across the floor, the sunlight sliding up his hand and up his body. She sucked in a sharp breath as his body pulsed again and then his hair flared into the silver white right above her, his body taking on the form of his half-demon side once again.
And then he thrust.
Something inside her, in her very soul, snapped. She could sense it. Something breaking—fading. But all she could feel was the hard, deep thrust that had her cumming in one stroke.

His hands moved and then she felt him tugging her more fully over him. She had felt the weakness in him when he had touched her before but the hollow weakness in his hands had dimmed. She fell against him and sighed, the sound trapped between their lips. And still, there was nothing. No flare of Power, no tingle or pulse. The kiss was slow and gentle. There was no hurry between them. It was just that—a slow kiss that was more passionate than anything she had ever felt. She could kiss him forever like this.
His hands moved again, sliding down her back and then up before they shifted, sliding over the sides of her ribs and then back around to span against the small of her back. He pulled her more fully over him till she was over him, her body aligned over his. Stronger than before. He lifted himself up, probing himself up on his elbows and then his hands were cupping her hips and he was moving them over, turning her onto her side, closer to her back. She pulled her lips away, her heart pounding as she pulled back—
He shuddered and groaned softly. "Don't. Don't leave…I canfeelwhen you're near me…the pain stops…Don't…leave…" He muttered again.
She shook her head and ran her fingers through his hair. "I'm not." She cupped his neck and sank the last few inches onto her back. He followed, the weight of his body covering hers, his hair a dark curtain around them as she kissed him again. He had been in pain and she hadn't even known it. Somehow, she eased that pain, being near him did. His lips moved against hers, his tongue sliding over hers in a teasing caress that had her lips clinging to his. And all they did was kiss. A kiss that had her heart pounding. A kiss that had her body hot, a kiss that left her whole body aching. Through it all, she felt no flare of power.
Why?
She soon didn't care. She couldn't think enough to care as one hand spanned her ribcage through the layers of her kimono before slowly sliding up. Her heart leapt in her throat as his hand slid over the slope of her breast and then he cupped her flesh, weighing it in his hand. Oh God. She turned her head, just inches, so that so that her lips pressed against the corner of his and she sucked in a sharp breath. He squeezed and she shuddered beneath him. She hadn't known…thought…she hadn't even imagined.
He turned his head and she expected him to capture her lips again but they shifted course and moved along the curve of her chin before dipping lower. His nudged her head back with his forehead and followed the line of her neck, his tongue dipping into the indention at the base. "Inu…yasha…" Kagome whispered, her hands fisting in his hair as his hand tightened again and then his thumb moved, sliding over her nipple through the clothing. She hadn't imagined a touch could leave her breathless, that a touch could be so hot. It was indecent but so sinfully hot, the feeling one of pleasure. He squeezed her breast again and this time, she moaned. Her eyes slit open as his hand slid up, moving from the breast he had tortured with his touch. His fingers nudged the side flap of her top and then his hand was sliding inside, touching her bare flesh, sliding over her collar bone.
Her throat worked convulsively as she swallowed, trying to survive through his touch. He was going to touch her. And she didn't want to stop him. Sesshomaru had never touched her like this, never even kissed her like this. She had known Miroku and Sango had something different but what she had with Inuyasha now was ecstasy. She hadn't known a mere touch could have her wanting to scream. She almost did scream when he cupped her bare breast in his hand beneath her clothing.
She shuddered beneath him, her breast near overflowing his hand. Her nipple was hard and she could feel it stabbing his palm as he squeezed and pushed the flesh upward. She almost begged him to touch her again he moved his hand but then he was grabbing her hands and tugging her up onto her knees. He grasped the tie in her kimono and before she realized it he was pushing the material off her shoulders. Without warning he leaned down and closed his lips around her nipple, cupping her breast in his hand and pushing it up. She cried out, the sound low, muffled as she fell back.
He followed and hooked his forefinger in material still covering her other shoulder and tugged it back. She sucked in a sharp breath as his hand cupped her other breast seconds after baring it. She shuddered as his teeth nipped her nipple and with the other, he tugged, two fingers pulling before he was squeezing again, kneading her flesh. Oh God, it was so good...so hot…
He rolled his hips against hers, grinding down and she felt him. Felt the thick, heavy length of him throbbing between her legs, pressing directly against her burning core. She moaned, unable to hold the sound back as he abruptly switched to the other breast, kissing the engorged nipple and sucking it into his mouth. He tugged the kimono further off her shoulders with both hands till the material was trapped halfway down her arms and beneath her.
He'd been naked from the waist up when she had come in so when she braced her hands against his chest, all she felt was hot, hard heated muscle. She moaned in denial against the restriction confining her movements. She wanted to touch him more. She almost knocked him off her as she jerked her arms free but he was back in an instant, cupping her breast, teasing both nipples till she was biting her lip against the moans rising up. As her hands moved over his chest he came up over her fully and kissed her again. His hands seemed to be drawn to her breasts each time.
She didn't mind.
Kagome moaned in denial when one of his hands dropped, fingers splayed wide over her stomach. She tore her lips away. "No…touch me. Please." She whispered, begging. She wanted his hand on her again, cupping her breast, leaving her breathless.
"I will." He whispered, his hand slowly sliding lower. She didn't realize his intent until he was pushing his hand past the restriction of the kimono skirt at her waist and then he was cupping her bare flesh. She arched up, moaning deep in her throat as his fingers pressed up against the hot, wet heat of her body. He pressed the heel of his hand against her, rubbing between her thighs in slow, gentle movements. His fingers grew slick and her thighs tightened around his hips. Her eyes slid closed as she felt one finger dip down before slowly pushing into her body. She tensed beneath him, her hands sliding over his shoulders. Her nails dug into his skin as his hand shifted and his finger curled inside her, teasing before pulling back.
She expected him to slide his finger back in but his hand slid back up, his finger leaving a cool, damp trail up her body till he cupped her breast again. His finger circled her nipple, damping the flesh before he leaned down and sucked it into his mouth. She cried out as his tongue swirled around it, lapping at her nipple, sucking her body's juices from it. He stopped then and released her nipple with a pop and leaned back, his arms stretched. He stared down at her, the look on his face pained.
"Touch me." His voice was hoarse. Inuyasha was begging.
Kagome knew what he wanted. She'd be a fool to say she didn't want to touch him, to feel him in her hand. She reached down, her arm brushing his stomach as she cupped him through his pants. He arched into her hand, his hand falling back but even as he did that, groaning, he shook his head. "No, touch mehere." His fingers curled around her wrist and he jerked her hand back but not away. He jerked her hand down his pants so that she met bare flesh, her fingers circling the hot, thick long length of his erection. Her fingers closed around him, slim and eager to feel, to touch.
He was bigger than she had thought and as she moved her hand up and down his shaft in a slow glide she watched the expression on his face. A look of tight pain crossed his features but she knew what he felt was far from pain. He throbbed in her hand and she swept her thumb over the tip and felt an answering wetness.
"Kagome." Inuyasha groaned out, rocking his hips into her eager hand.
It was hard to believe that his body could have something so hard but so soft at the same time. So strong. She squeezed him, testing and then stroked him again—experimenting. And he fell against her and kissed her. She arched, her lips opening for the slow thrust of his tongue. She was burning, her body on fire, so hot and wet that she knew she'd never be the same. His hips rocked slowly, his cock feeling her hand as she stroked him over and over.
The kiss rocked her world just as much as the feel of him in her hand. Her lips tingled, her tongue tasting his, burning, flowing up—
She jerked her lips back, panic filling her eyes. Oh God, not now. She stared up at him, the passion filled glaze in his eyes dark eyes staring down at her. She'd felt the Power flowing up, drawn by Inuyasha—Finally. But it had been wrong. It washerthe Power bottled up inside her body that was coming up to him again.
Kaede had been wrong.
She felt his hand cup the back of her head, drawing her lips back against his. A shudder wracked her body and she turned her head to the side, blocking the kiss she would have begged for. He couldn't. She couldn't.
"Kagome…" Inuyasha groaned out, his lips moving against the corner of hers.
"No…I can't. Please." Kagome whispered and gripped his hair, the dark strands sliding over her skin. She pushed his head down, felt his lips sliding over the slope of her breast before he was taking control of the movement, capturing her nipple in his mouth. He thrust into her hand again, growing harder—bigger, as his tongue and teeth teased her. His hands lowered, his fingers curving over skirt that covered her hips. He tugged, forcing the material to slide off but it tangled around her legs before he lifted himself slightly, catching one leg with his foot and jerking it down.
His body pulsed against hers, a hard, deep vibe.
Her eyes slid open as he pulled his hips back and his cock slid from her grasp. His fingers curled around her wrist, pulling her hand out of the way and then she felt his hips settle between her thighs. She lifted her lids as she felt the hot length of his cock settle between her thighs, the thick mushroomed head resting against the wet core of her body. Her mind screamed a warning and she knew she should stop him but she couldn't remember why. This was it. But still he held there, his body trembling. He had braced himself over her, his arms stretched so he was partially levered off her, his hands planted flat against the ground.
Still, he waited. His body throbbed again, pulsing hard against hers. "Kagome."
She lifted her gaze to his face when he spoke her name. He stared down at her, his dark hair falling around them. She could feel his heavy cock barely pressing inside her…
"Kagome." He whispered her name again, his body tensing as another deep hard pulse jolted through his body. What was he waiting for? Light filtered in from the door behind them slowly and she tilted her head and then turned it, watching as it spread across the floor, the sunlight sliding up his hand and up his body. She sucked in a sharp breath as his body pulsed again and then his hair flared into the silver white right above her, his body taking on the form of his half-demon side once again.
And then he thrust.
Something inside her, in her very soul, snapped. She could sense it. Something breaking—fading. But all she could feel was the hard, deep thrust that had her cumming in one stroke.
