Midnight Reverie
Written By: Lady Eclipse
~Blood pooled out beneath the silent corpse of a young priestess as a fire raged wildly around them. Her eyes were fixed upward in eternal accusation starring sightlessly at the half-demon standing before her. Inu Yasha nearly sobbed with anguish reaching out to her body but it disappeared leaving him alone in darkness. Next he saw his mother watching him with mournful eyes blood pouring from an old wound. He tried to approach her but she shook her head sadly and disappeared as well. A terribly loneliness enveloped the young demon nearly sending him reeling with the horror of his pain. The blackness around him choked with icy isolation leaving him with nothing but his sorrow. He fell to his knees with the agony of his lonliness as tears poured from his clentched eyelids. Then, a cool hand touched his tear stained face. When he looked up he met the warm, brown eyes of Kagome. She smiled brightly at him brushing away his tears and his pain with it. Happiness washed through him as he reached out to hold his beloved treasure. However, when his hands made contact she was suddenly struck down. As he caught her blood soaked body he saw Naraku grinning triumphantly at them.
"NO! Kagome!" He pleaded shaking her body desperately. She made no movement and the scent of death filled his nose. Then, just like the other women in his life, she too disappeared.
"This is the price of loving a mortal." A voice whispered in the darkness, "This is how it will always be."
"No…" Inu Yasha cried fighting back tears, "…I don't want to be alone anymore."
"It is inevitable. Kagome will die like Kikyo has died and you will be alone." The voice insisted.
"Why?" His voice broke miserably, "Why does it have to be this way?"
"You are a half demon, you will always be alone. That is you fate." The voice chuckled in cold amusement then faded away leaving Inu Yasha in the frigid darkness.
"There has to be another way." He implored the darkness but received no reply. ~

With a stifled cry Inu Yasha jerked awake. He blinked a few times trying to sort out his racing mind. The horrible images of the dream lingered mercilessly at the front of his mind making relaxation impossible. To ease the sad and lonely ache in his heart that the dream had left him with he looked about the campsite hoping to ease the pain with familiarity. In the center of their makeshift camp was a fire that had burned itself out leaving only reddened coals. Sleeping around what was left of the fire were several indistinct forms breathing softly in deep sleep. Miroku was sleeping as closely as he dared to the demon exterminator Sango who in turn had a hand resting on her boomerang as a silent warning should Miroku get too bold. Kilala was curled up at Sango's side purring quietly in her sleep. A jolt of alarm passed through Inu Yasha when he sought out Kagome's sleeping bag and found only Shippo there. Suddenly panicked, Inu Yasha stood swiftly and scented the air to detect her or any enemies who might have dared to snatch her. Finding her scent, blessedly free of any unfamiliar taint, he raced from the campsite and swiftly sped through the trees following her gentle scent until he reached the clearing he had dragged her to the day before. Kagome, barefoot, was sitting in the tall grass staring up at the moon with her legs tucked up underneath her. The relief he felt was almost palpable as Inu Yasha slowly paced over to her. Normally, he would have been content to know she was safe and would situate himself somewhere close by and return to sleep. However, the dream and the loneliness it had brought with it spurred him forward to speak with her. He desperately needed her comfort, her warmth; he needed to touch the ivory of her skin and feel the heat of her heart to reassure himself that she still lived and was there with him.
Hearing the whisper of sound of Inu Yasha stepping through the grass Kagome turned with a little jump.
"Oh!" She placed a hand over her heart, "You scared me! For a second there I thought you were a wolf or something!" Inu Yasha chuckled,
"Close enough," he replied his dog-ears moving slightly on his head. Kagome laughed lightly,
"No, you're too nice to be a wolf."
"Demons aren't nice." He replied exasperated. Kagome only smiled brightly at him in response. With a sigh, Inu Yasha sat next to her glancing up at the moon thoughtfully. It was half full guaranteeing him a fair amount of time before a human body would handicap him, before he would be helpless to protect Kagome. Images of her bloodied body from his dream crowded his mind and clenched his heart. Inu Yasha grit his teeth to restrain the surge of emotion and the urge to grab the frail human and hold her tightly to protect her from all harm. He suddenly felt a small hand on his arm, the muslces taut with strain, and was greeted with warm brown eyes,
"Are you alright? You look really sad." Kagome leaned closer to him with concern in her eyes.
"Fine." He replied gruffly not liking how vulnerable he felt.
"No need to be testy, I was just asking." She folded her arms crossly across her chest.
"Whatever."
"If you're going to be like that then I'm going back to camp." She threatened making motions to stand up.
"Wait!" Inu Yasha grabbed her arm pulling her sharply to the ground regretting the desperation in his voice. "Don't go." He wrapped his hands around her waist holding tightly as if she might vanish if he ever let go. "Don't ever leave me." He pulled her slight form firmly against himself burying his face in her shoulder seeking comfort in her scent. Slightly confused at Inu Yasha's sudden mood swings, Kagome wrapped her arms reassuringly around him stroking his hair soothingly.
"What happened?" His arms tightened around her but he shook his head. The dream was still too fresh in his mind to talk about. The very thought of her lifeless body in his arms was enough to send a tremor through his body. Much like a child seeking reassurance after a nightmare he clung to her wrapping himself in her comforting scent.
"Promise me you'll never leave me." He whispered hoarsely not lifting his head from her shoulder.
"I promise." She replied softly, "I could never leave you, I love you too much." She confessed. Surprised, Inu Yasha raised his head to gaze searchingly into her eyes.
"You…you love me?" Was it possible that such a sweet and innocent angel could possibly love such a corrupt demon? He numbly thought to himself.
"Of course." Her eyes were filled with compassion and sincerity. Her expression then turned to mock irritation, "You're just now noticing that? You really are slow sometimes." Inu Yasha growled at her playfully,
"You're too weird for me to read."
"I'm weird? Who's the dog demon here?" She pointed a finger at his chest.
"Who's more worried about some stupid test then keeping jewel shards out of the hands of demons?" He grabbed her wrist pulling her closer.
"They're not stupid! Just because-" Kagome never got to finish defending her tests for Inu Yasha had firmly sealed his lips over hers. A fire wildly sprung to life in Kagome's veins making her submit completely to his kiss and go boneless in his embrace. With a gentle hunger he deepened the kiss then slowly brushed his tongue against her lips. The startled gasp was all he needed to enter her mouth and taste her exquisite sweetness. Kagome clutched at his shoulders as his tongue explored her, savored her taste like the finest wine. Timid at first, then bolder Kagome joined in his exploration relishing in the intimacy of such an act. Inu Yasha's demon blood stirred again as Kagome so passionately returned his kiss, her hands clutching his back so tightly. As they pulled away for much needed air they stared at each other in almost an atmosphere of wonder. Inu Yasha slowly brought his hand up to caress her cheek; her skin almost shimmered in the faint moonlight making her seem ethereal. Kagome leaned into his hand smiling sweetly; her innocence permeating the air around herself; an intoxicating combination of passion and innocence that the demon in him found irresistible. He leaned forward again and nibbled along her jaw line. Then, slowly, he trailed his tongue down the smooth column of her neck savoring her unique taste and the gentle warmth of her throat. Kagome's fingers curled into his clothing as he bit and licked his way down to her shoulder pulling away the fabric of her blouse as he went. ~More~ His mind demanded as he drowned himself in her, his body tightening with need. His hands roamed up her sides this time not stopping at her ribs. They brushed teasingly at the sides of Kagome's breasts causing her to arch into him in surprise at the ripple of sensation. Inu Yasha then brought his hands down her waist to slip underneath the thin fabric of her shirt to gently caress the soft skin there while his kisses led him back up to her mouth. ~More~ He drank deeply from her pausing to nibble her lips from time to time as his hands roamed upward and caressed the flesh he found there enticingly. Ripples of heat pooled through Kagome's body and she found herself dazed with the sensation. She released her grip on his back to slide her fingers along the opening of his gi then under it tentatively brushing her fingers against the solid muscles of his chest. With a restrained hiss of longing, Inu Yasha released her lips and rested his forehead against hers. Amber met brown as he brought his hands to her face,
"Kagome," he looked at her with such longing, such an innocent need, "could you…stay with me tonight?"
"Stay...you mean...?" There was no mistaking the heat in his eyes despite the vulnerability.
"Yes, I don't want to be alone anymore. Please." He whispered, his lonely yet loving eyes sweeping over her. Kagome's first impulse was to say no, like she had been taught but the reasons for that immediate answer deserted her. She couldn't remember why she couldn't make love to him, what reason she had that made it so forbidden. All she knew was that she loved him and wanted him so desperately that she was prepared to rip *his* clothes off. She chuckled faintly imaging the shock on his face should she actually try.
"What's so funny?" He asked suddenly insecure.
"Oh, I was just thinking how funny your expression would be if I did this." She threw herself into his arms with a fiery kiss gripping the front of his gi tightly indulging in an old craving. Her tongue daringly slipped into his mouth teasing his own with velvety caresses. For a long time she had been terribly tempted to just kiss the stupid dog-demon when he was smirking so arrogantly thinking himself untouchable. When she pulled away again she was rewarded with an expression that was far different from the one she imagined. Inu Yasha's half-lidded eyes gazed into hers with a lazy hunger and she realized that his hands were gripping her back just as tightly as she had been gripping him. She had a split second to make this observation before his lips were on hers again, impatient and demanding. Carefully, Inu Yasha eased her body to the ground never breaking the heated kiss. "Shall I take that as a yes?" He whispered between kisses. Breathless, all Kagome could do was nod in response. He lovingly nibbled on her bottom lip as his hands slid underneath her shirt hooking his thumbs at the bottom so that as his hands progressed the shirt lifted with them. A shiver ran up her spine as the cool night air touched upon her exposed flesh. Once he removed the dainty blouse, Inu Yasha was pleased to discover that she wasn't wearing that annoying contraption he had heard her call a 'bra.' The damned thing looked too confusing to work her out of. But that was only a fleeting thought lost as his gaze devoured her full breasts. Kagome blushed under his scrutiny and brought her hands up as if to cover herself. Inu Yasha caught her hand then brought it to his lips to kiss lovingly.
"You're so beautiful." He whispered releasing her hand to kiss her mouth with gentle passion. In the thickening night he could hear her heart beat silently in the dark air. Restless hands sought paradise along smooth planes of skin. He inhaled her scent with animalistic delight finding what his hands so desperately sought. A soft cry of surprise and newly discovered pleasure reverberated in his sensitive ears spurring him on. One hand slowly worked its way up her inner thigh massaging the soft skin encouraging her to relax its nervous guard. The rigid muscles unknotted under his ministrations allowing him to nudge her legs open enough for him to lie in their embrace. He reluctantly withdrew his hands from their wonderful caresses and planted them on either side of her head and gazed languidly into eyes, now melted into pools of liquid chocolate; a truly sweet taste he wondered if the rest of her would taste so enticing in its innocence. He brought his lips to her throat where he suckled and licked feeling her racing pulse and knowing satisfaction that he had brought her to such frenzy. He trailed his hungry mouth lower taking time to explore her clavicle. He then moved on with his journey until he reached the sloping valley between her breasts. As he took in her beauty, his eyes lingered at her skirt fastened with another 'modern' annoying contraption. He paused his kisses over the swollen curves as a mischievous smile lit upon his lips. He looked up at her face flushed with shyness and heat. ~More. ~ His demon blood begged, the desire in her blood inflaming his need. His grin deepened,
"You know I'm not good with zippers. In fact, I've only ever seen them in your era." Kagome's eyes widened as he flexed his claws,
"You wouldn't!"
*RIP*
With a neat slash of claws her skirt was nicely slit in two halves that easily fell away from her body. Kagome reacted instinctively with the first thing that came to mind. It was a response Inu Yasha had been counting on.
"SIT!!!" Most of the impact of that command was taken on his forearms braced steadily on the ground. However, it was enough to snugly press them together upon the ground, he reveled in the feel of her breasts pressed so tightly against his chest. She glared playfully into his eyes, which were mere centimeters away from hers. "Jerk, you knew that I would do that, didn't you?" She accused. He chuckled as he leaned forward to nuzzle the sensitive area just behind her right ear.
"What are you going to do about it," his hot breath sent tremors through her body, "sit me again?" He licked her ear lobe sensually. Any response to that was lost in the pleasurable wave of sensation that that action had stirred and the beginning of a dull ache between her thighs. He grinned again; she did taste as sweet as chocolate. While one hand snaked along her side to caress her soft breast, the other began to loosen his robes and pull them away. A quiet moan fell from Kagome's slightly parted lips as he teased her nipple by tracing the outline of it with a claw. Once he had been liberated from the confinement of clothing Inu Yasha's other hand went on the prowl, this one sought lower ground. He bent his head to taste her other breast dragging his tongue across her nipple with exaggerated slowness, savoring her exquisite taste; savoring her lovely moans of desire. His clawed finger slid underneath the elastic lining of her underwear preparing to slice through that delicate undergarment as well. The feel of his sharp claw against her skin awoke Kagome's lust laden mind enough to realize what he was about to do.
"You..." she swallowed heavily trying not to gasp under his clever ministrations, "you shouldn't do that. You already ripped my skirt, if you ruin my underwear then Miroku is going to get one heck of a peep show." Inu Yasha growled dangerously temporarily losing himself to his demon side,
"I'll kill him if he dares to look, no one can see you like this but me. You're mine and no one else's." In a sudden fit of possessiveness he bit down hard with his sharp fangs upon the tender flesh just above her nipple. Kagome cried out, her fingers tangling in his long silver hair. Inu Yasha pulled away to look at his handy work; only a few droplets of blood sprang to the surface leaving a dental imprint that would impress any dentist.
"That hurt." She complained but her voice lacked any true anger. Inu Yasha's eyes locked with hers and instantly his human side regained control, she had that effect on him.
"Sorry," his eyes held true remorse at having caused her any pain, "I guess I got carried away." Kagome brought a hand up to caress his cheek,
"You should be. It's just a good thing that I brought an extra change of clothes." She turned over her hand and brushed the back of it delicately along the column of his neck.
"You did?"
"Yea, I always do in case the ones I'm wearing get dirty or something." Inu Yasha grinned.
*RIP*
And thus her underwear slid from her body. This time Kagome growled and smacked his shoulder. "That's not funny!" Inu Yasha obviously disagreed because he couldn't contain the amused chuckle that rumbled from his throat. She looked delicious all fired up like that. Her eyes narrowed, "You're so lucky I can't sit you right now."
"Mmm, please do." He murmured grinning in a very lupine fashion; after all, they were now both completely devoid of clothing making the next sit a very interesting prospect. Kagome sighed in exasperation but her dark thoughts were soon cut off by Inu Yasha's mouth insistantly pressing upon hers. He brought his hands to cup her cheeks and softly stroked the skin there. Her eyes locked with his and she was surprised at the deep well of love and affection pooled within his amber depths.
"Do you trust me?"
"Always." He closed his eyes and brought his mouth down to hers in a sweet caress as his hand slowly, agonizingly slid down her chest, along the smooth planes of her stomach to rest between her thighs. Kagome's eyes closed as a faint surge of pleasure fluttered through her body and the ache grew. Inu Yasha deepened the kiss greedily drinking in her taste as his fingers slipped between her soft folds caressing her from within. With a sputtered moan into his mouth she arched her back and dug her nails into his shoulder blades. Inu Yasha broke the kiss to nuzzle her throat,
"Kagome..." He murmured relishing the sound of it. Kagome opened her mouth to speak but the only sound that would come out was another shaky moan. Inu Yasha purred in response and quickened the rhythm. As her body trembled with the intense waves of sensation her scent thickened with the irresistable call of pheramones. His blood raged within his veins begging to join with her young body. He touched his lips to the base of her throat feeling her moan vibrate beneath his mouth. Kagome's breaths soon became pants as he drove her on yet kept his pace too light to end the burning hunger of her body. Her fingers clasped his arms and she cried his name pleadingly, Kagome lifted her hips feeling his erection pressed upon her thigh. No longer able to resist her siren's song of innocent desire Inu Yasha gentley positioned himself at her entrance, his own searing arousal throbbing with need. Upon the cusp of love and lust as his body beat in time with his heart, as did hers, he locked his amber eyes with hers. Partaking her soul with their deep gaze he slid into her heated body slick with longing. Their rough journey accompanied by a merciless bicycle seat had made her hymen a memory thus making the initial pain only a slight discomfort as her untried body stretched around him. A shakey sigh escaped his lips as her inner walls blissfully pressed tightly around him. Inu Yasha held still for a moment allowing her time to adjust as well as taking an almost masicistic pleasure in the sweet agony of not moving despite his raging hunger. It was Kagome, however, that could not wait and he was shocked to feel her roll her hips upward seeking to draw him in deeper. He gasped this time fighting to be gentle, fighting his core demon instict to roughly take what was so naively given. Inu Yasha instead kissed her harshly, his tongue mimicing the wild action his body so intensely craved. Yet his own strokes remained carefully controlled and gentle. While he wrought havoc upon her tender mouth with his own, his body was a sweet caress within hers. The kiss was occasionally severed for hurried gasps of air accompanied with heated moans that soon turned to soft cries.
"Inu...Inu Yasha..." Kagome breathed in a tone that hovered between love and a plea. Her cries urged him to a faster pace and he joined her in their song of gratification. As the waves of pleasure built and he could sense his release coming, Inu Yasha wrapped his hands underneath her shoulder holding her desperately to him burrying his face in the crook of her shoulder.
Somewhere along that plateu just before they climaxed an astonishing sense of peace overwhelmed the young half demon. A strange hint of belonging and the sense of coming home enveloped him. The emotion was so strong that he felt tears well up beneath his tightly closed eyes. Before he could give voice to the intense emotions rolling within his chest, his body spasmed in physical ecstasy tightly clutching his beloved treasure. Kagome soon followed, her inner walls grasping him tightly. There were no words, no sounds, just the incredible sensations of both body and spirit.
In the aftermath, they could only cling to each other as they regained their breath underneath the calm light of the pale moon. Their bed of grass softly brushed against their skin workiing with the light breeze to cool their heated flesh. Again, that strange emotion wrapped itself tightly around Inu Yasha's heart. Again he felt as though he had come home, that he was safe. Not trusting his voice he could only hug Kagome tighter and try to fight the tears that threatened to betray his weakness. Kagome, feeling the tremor of his supressed emotions, smiled and gently stroked his silky hair.
"Do you trust me?" She whispered into the still night.
"Always." Came his hushed reply.
"Then don't be afraid to show me your soft side. I'm not going to leave you, I already told you that." A tear escaped his carefully constructed defenses sliding onto her shoulder.
"Kagome...I..."
"Shhh, it's okay." She murmured kissing his neck, "It's all going to be okay."
"Kagome, I never want to lose you. I couldn't do it again. I couldn't lose another person that I love!" More tears flowed cascading through his barriers as though they didn't exist. "Promise me," he bit down on his lip to try to control the quiver in his voice, "promise me that you'll let me protect you. Promise that you won't try anything foolish or life threatening...please." Kagome was quiet for a long time contemplating before she finally answered,
"I will, if you promise me the same thing."
"But-"
"No buts! Do you think I could bear to lose you either? I'll be careful if you will be too. No compromises." Inu Yasha bit down savagely on his lip to keep back a sob before he haltingly replied,
"No one has ever wanted to protect me before, not since my mother died." There was such wonder in his sad voice. Kagome pulled away from him enough to look him in the eyes, her fingers tenderly brushing away his tears.
"Well I do with all my heart and soul. So don't you dare go do anything reckless that gets you killed! You may be a half demon but you're not immortal. If you die then I'm going to sit you until your spirit is nothing but lumps!" She grinned at him toying with the necklace.
"You would." He growled but smiled brightly in return. He brought her close once again so that his lips brushed against her ear as his spoke. "Thank you." His voice finally did tremble as he spoke his next words, "I love you, Kagome. More than I dare to." Finding no words in her emotion choked throat to reply, Kagome only clutched him to her and held him through the rest of the night standing vidgulence over his battered heart.
________________________________________________________________ ________
Well, this could easily be the end although I'm concidering making a kind of mini series of it. After all, Kagome still needs to face Kouga with her answer and Inu Yasha still needs to face Kikyo. Reviews will definetly affect my decision. My muse is on vacation so that's the only way to get me to write until her timely return.
Thanks for reading my first lemon!

He pulled her slight form firmly against himself burying his face in her shoulder seeking comfort in her scent.

She couldn't remember why she couldn't make love to him, what reason she had that made it so forbidden. All she knew was that she loved him and wanted him so desperately that she was prepared to rip *his* clothes off. She chuckled faintly imaging the shock on his face should she actually try.
"What's so funny?" He asked suddenly insecure.
"Oh, I was just thinking how funny your expression would be if I did this." She threw herself into his arms with a fiery kiss gripping the front of his gi tightly indulging in an old craving. Her tongue daringly slipped into his mouth teasing his own with velvety caresses. For a long time she had been terribly tempted to just kiss the stupid dog-demon when he was smirking so arrogantly thinking himself untouchable. When she pulled away again she was rewarded with an expression that was far different from the one she imagined. Inu Yasha's half-lidded eyes gazed into hers with a lazy hunger and she realized that his hands were gripping her back just as tightly as she had been gripping him. She had a split second to make this observation before his lips were on hers again, impatient and demanding. Carefully, Inu Yasha eased her body to the ground never breaking the heated kiss. "Shall I take that as a yes?" He whispered between kisses. Breathless, all Kagome could do was nod in response. He lovingly nibbled on her bottom lip as his hands slid underneath her shirt hooking his thumbs at the bottom so that as his hands progressed the shirt lifted with them. A shiver ran up her spine as the cool night air touched upon her exposed flesh. Once he removed the dainty blouse, Inu Yasha was pleased to discover that she wasn't wearing that annoying contraption he had heard her call a 'bra.' The damned thing looked too confusing to work her out of. But that was only a fleeting thought lost as his gaze devoured her full breasts. Kagome blushed under his scrutiny and brought her hands up as if to cover herself. Inu Yasha caught her hand then brought it to his lips to kiss lovingly.
"You're so beautiful." He whispered releasing her hand to kiss her mouth with gentle passion. In the thickening night he could hear her heart beat silently in the dark air. Restless hands sought paradise along smooth planes of skin. He inhaled her scent with animalistic delight finding what his hands so desperately sought. A soft cry of surprise and newly discovered pleasure reverberated in his sensitive ears spurring him on. One hand slowly worked its way up her inner thigh massaging the soft skin encouraging her to relax its nervous guard. The rigid muscles unknotted under his ministrations allowing him to nudge her legs open enough for him to lie in their embrace. He reluctantly withdrew his hands from their wonderful caresses and planted them on either side of her head and gazed languidly into eyes, now melted into pools of liquid chocolate; a truly sweet taste he wondered if the rest of her would taste so enticing in its innocence. He brought his lips to her throat where he suckled and licked feeling her racing pulse and knowing satisfaction that he had brought her to such frenzy. He trailed his hungry mouth lower taking time to explore her clavicle. He then moved on with his journey until he reached the sloping valley between her breasts. As he took in her beauty, his eyes lingered at her skirt fastened with another 'modern' annoying contraption. He paused his kisses over the swollen curves as a mischievous smile lit upon his lips. He looked up at her face flushed with shyness and heat. ~More. ~ His demon blood begged, the desire in her blood inflaming his need. His grin deepened,
"You know I'm not good with zippers. In fact, I've only ever seen them in your era." Kagome's eyes widened as he flexed his claws,
"You wouldn't!"
*RIP*
With a neat slash of claws her skirt was nicely slit in two halves that easily fell away from her body. Kagome reacted instinctively with the first thing that came to mind. It was a response Inu Yasha had been counting on.
"SIT!!!" Most of the impact of that command was taken on his forearms braced steadily on the ground. However, it was enough to snugly press them together upon the ground, he reveled in the feel of her breasts pressed so tightly against his chest. She glared playfully into his eyes, which were mere centimeters away from hers. "Jerk, you knew that I would do that, didn't you?" She accused. He chuckled as he leaned forward to nuzzle the sensitive area just behind her right ear.
"What are you going to do about it," his hot breath sent tremors through her body, "sit me again?" He licked her ear lobe sensually. Any response to that was lost in the pleasurable wave of sensation that that action had stirred and the beginning of a dull ache between her thighs. He grinned again; she did taste as sweet as chocolate. While one hand snaked along her side to caress her soft breast, the other began to loosen his robes and pull them away. A quiet moan fell from Kagome's slightly parted lips as he teased her nipple by tracing the outline of it with a claw. Once he had been liberated from the confinement of clothing Inu Yasha's other hand went on the prowl, this one sought lower ground. He bent his head to taste her other breast dragging his tongue across her nipple with exaggerated slowness, savoring her exquisite taste; savoring her lovely moans of desire. His clawed finger slid underneath the elastic lining of her underwear preparing to slice through that delicate undergarment as well. The feel of his sharp claw against her skin awoke Kagome's lust laden mind enough to realize what he was about to do.
"You..." she swallowed heavily trying not to gasp under his clever ministrations, "you shouldn't do that. You already ripped my skirt, if you ruin my underwear then Miroku is going to get one heck of a peep show." Inu Yasha growled dangerously temporarily losing himself to his demon side,
"I'll kill him if he dares to look, no one can see you like this but me. You're mine and no one else's." In a sudden fit of possessiveness he bit down hard with his sharp fangs upon the tender flesh just above her nipple. Kagome cried out, her fingers tangling in his long silver hair. Inu Yasha pulled away to look at his handy work; only a few droplets of blood sprang to the surface leaving a dental imprint that would impress any dentist.
"That hurt." She complained but her voice lacked any true anger. Inu Yasha's eyes locked with hers and instantly his human side regained control, she had that effect on him.
"Sorry," his eyes held true remorse at having caused her any pain, "I guess I got carried away." Kagome brought a hand up to caress his cheek,
"You should be. It's just a good thing that I brought an extra change of clothes." She turned over her hand and brushed the back of it delicately along the column of his neck.
"You did?"
"Yea, I always do in case the ones I'm wearing get dirty or something." Inu Yasha grinned.
*RIP*
And thus her underwear slid from her body. This time Kagome growled and smacked his shoulder. "That's not funny!" Inu Yasha obviously disagreed because he couldn't contain the amused chuckle that rumbled from his throat. She looked delicious all fired up like that. Her eyes narrowed, "You're so lucky I can't sit you right now."
"Mmm, please do." He murmured grinning in a very lupine fashion; after all, they were now both completely devoid of clothing making the next sit a very interesting prospect. Kagome sighed in exasperation but her dark thoughts were soon cut off by Inu Yasha's mouth insistantly pressing upon hers. He brought his hands to cup her cheeks and softly stroked the skin there. Her eyes locked with his and she was surprised at the deep well of love and affection pooled within his amber depths.
"Do you trust me?"
"Always." He closed his eyes and brought his mouth down to hers in a sweet caress as his hand slowly, agonizingly slid down her chest, along the smooth planes of her stomach to rest between her thighs. Kagome's eyes closed as a faint surge of pleasure fluttered through her body and the ache grew. Inu Yasha deepened the kiss greedily drinking in her taste as his fingers slipped between her soft folds caressing her from within. With a sputtered moan into his mouth she arched her back and dug her nails into his shoulder blades. Inu Yasha broke the kiss to nuzzle her throat,
"Kagome..." He murmured relishing the sound of it. Kagome opened her mouth to speak but the only sound that would come out was another shaky moan. Inu Yasha purred in response and quickened the rhythm. As her body trembled with the intense waves of sensation her scent thickened with the irresistable call of pheramones. His blood raged within his veins begging to join with her young body. He touched his lips to the base of her throat feeling her moan vibrate beneath his mouth. Kagome's breaths soon became pants as he drove her on yet kept his pace too light to end the burning hunger of her body. Her fingers clasped his arms and she cried his name pleadingly, Kagome lifted her hips feeling his erection pressed upon her thigh. No longer able to resist her siren's song of innocent desire Inu Yasha gentley positioned himself at her entrance, his own searing arousal throbbing with need. Upon the cusp of love and lust as his body beat in time with his heart, as did hers, he locked his amber eyes with hers. Partaking her soul with their deep gaze he slid into her heated body slick with longing. Their rough journey accompanied by a merciless bicycle seat had made her hymen a memory thus making the initial pain only a slight discomfort as her untried body stretched around him. A shakey sigh escaped his lips as her inner walls blissfully pressed tightly around him. Inu Yasha held still for a moment allowing her time to adjust as well as taking an almost masicistic pleasure in the sweet agony of not moving despite his raging hunger. It was Kagome, however, that could not wait and he was shocked to feel her roll her hips upward seeking to draw him in deeper. He gasped this time fighting to be gentle, fighting his core demon instict to roughly take what was so naively given. Inu Yasha instead kissed her harshly, his tongue mimicing the wild action his body so intensely craved. Yet his own strokes remained carefully controlled and gentle. While he wrought havoc upon her tender mouth with his own, his body was a sweet caress within hers. The kiss was occasionally severed for hurried gasps of air accompanied with heated moans that soon turned to soft cries.
"Inu...Inu Yasha..." Kagome breathed in a tone that hovered between love and a plea. Her cries urged him to a faster pace and he joined her in their song of gratification. As the waves of pleasure built and he could sense his release coming, Inu Yasha wrapped his hands underneath her shoulder holding her desperately to him burrying his face in the crook of her shoulder.
Somewhere along that plateu just before they climaxed an astonishing sense of peace overwhelmed the young half demon. A strange hint of belonging and the sense of coming home enveloped him. The emotion was so strong that he felt tears well up beneath his tightly closed eyes. Before he could give voice to the intense emotions rolling within his chest, his body spasmed in physical ecstasy tightly clutching his beloved treasure. Kagome soon followed, her inner walls grasping him tightly. There were no words, no sounds, just the incredible sensations of both body and spirit.
In the aftermath, they could only cling to each other as they regained their breath underneath the calm light of the pale moon. Their bed of grass softly brushed against their skin workiing with the light breeze to cool their heated flesh. Again, that strange emotion wrapped itself tightly around Inu Yasha's heart. Again he felt as though he had come home, that he was safe. Not trusting his voice he could only hug Kagome tighter and try to fight the tears that threatened to betray his weakness. Kagome, feeling the tremor of his supressed emotions, smiled and gently stroked his silky hair.
"Do you trust me?" She whispered into the still night.
"Always." Came his hushed reply.
"Then don't be afraid to show me your soft side. I'm not going to leave you, I already told you that." A tear escaped his carefully constructed defenses sliding onto her shoulder.
"Kagome...I..."
"Shhh, it's okay." She murmured kissing his neck, "It's all going to be okay."
"Kagome, I never want to lose you. I couldn't do it again. I couldn't lose another person that I love!" More tears flowed cascading through his barriers as though they didn't exist. "Promise me," he bit down on his lip to try to control the quiver in his voice, "promise me that you'll let me protect you. Promise that you won't try anything foolish or life threatening...please." Kagome was quiet for a long time contemplating before she finally answered,
"I will, if you promise me the same thing."
"But-"
"No buts! Do you think I could bear to lose you either? I'll be careful if you will be too. No compromises." Inu Yasha bit down savagely on his lip to keep back a sob before he haltingly replied,
"No one has ever wanted to protect me before, not since my mother died." There was such wonder in his sad voice. Kagome pulled away from him enough to look him in the eyes, her fingers tenderly brushing away his tears.
"Well I do with all my heart and soul. So don't you dare go do anything reckless that gets you killed! You may be a half demon but you're not immortal. If you die then I'm going to sit you until your spirit is nothing but lumps!" She grinned at him toying with the necklace.
"You would." He growled but smiled brightly in return. He brought her close once again so that his lips brushed against her ear as his spoke. "Thank you." His voice finally did tremble as he spoke his next words, "I love you, Kagome. More than I dare to." Finding no words in her emotion choked throat to reply, Kagome only clutched him to her and held him through the rest of the night standing vidgulence over his battered heart.

Well, this could easily be the end although I'm concidering making a kind of mini series of it. After all, Kagome still needs to face Kouga with her answer and Inu Yasha still needs to face Kikyo. Reviews will definetly affect my decision. My muse is on vacation so that's the only way to get me to write until her timely return.
Thanks for reading my first lemon!
