~CHAPTER 9~

Mark of Passion, Mark of Desire

Inuyasha stared at those staring at him with a nervous and questioning look upon his face.

Kagome stood up and walked over to him. "Inuyasha why are you in such a bad mood?" She asked, the sharpness of her stare made him uneasy and her tone told him now what not the time play around.

 

"Umm… well… you see…" Inuyasha stumbled over his words, trying to figure out what to say. He looked past Kagome to Miroku, hoping that the monk would give him an idea of what to do next. All Miroku did was mouth 'tell her'. 'Tell her what?' Inuyasha thought.

 

"Inuyasha!" Kagome's voice raised in an effort to get the hanyou's attention. Inuyasha focused back on Kagome, still searching for way to tell her why he was in bad mood.

 

"It's nothing…" Inuyasha started but was soon cut off by Kagome.

 

"Don't even say 'it's nothing Kagome'. We've already had a long conversation about this."

 

'Damn, they already told her. Well I don't blame them, she seems pretty mad.' The thing that scared Inuyasha most was Kagome's ability to keep her voice calm and steady, even though she was angry.

 

"So Inuyasha what do you have to say for yourself?" Kagome asked.

 

Inuyasha knew that he better tell her or face the consequences. "Kagome, come with me, I want to talk to you in private." Kagome eyed him suspiciously but eventually nodded. Inuyasha took her by the hand and lead her into the forest, leaving the others to talk among themselves.

 

.:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:.

 

Inuyasha stepped out into a clearing, with Kagome right behind him. Inuyasha sat down cross-legged and motioned for Kagome to sit in front of him. He crossed his arms, placing his hands with the billowing sleeves of his haori.

 

Inuyasha sniffed and soon regretted that he did, during their disagreement he had completely forgotten that Kagome was in heat. Kagome noticed the small twitch of Inuyasha's nose as he looked at the ground. "Well Inuyasha?"

 

Inuyasha quickly glanced at Kagome noticing her stare, a stare asked him to be truthful to her. He wouldn't allow himself to disappointed her. He cleared his throat and prepared to explain the best he could. "Yes, I know that you're in heat." Kagome nodded, her eyes softened but not much. Inuyasha continued still looking at the ground but he knew Kagome had nodded, it was reassuring. "Youkai have an very good sense of smell, especially dog youkai, and I'm no different. So naturally I would be able to smell changes in someone's scent and in the case of a woman I would be able to smell…" Inuyasha paused for a moment.

 

"When she's in heat." Kagome finished for him. Inuyasha nodded. "Shippo said that you and he could tell when Sango's and my scent changed."

 

Inuyasha nodded, glad that she didn't mention any specifics, it was hard enough as is it.

 

"Shippo's too young to pay attention to a women's scent the way someone older would, anyway he thinks of you two as family so it wouldn't matter."

 

"What about you?" Kagome asked, pressuring Inuyasha to continue.

 

Inuyasha had never taken his eyes off the ground since he began. He was forcing himself to watch the green blades of grass as the wind blew them in his direction. The wind was blowing in his direction, that meant Kagome's scent was blowing in his direction. He tried his best not focus on Kagome's scent. It was extremely difficult, her scent was alluring, and it called to him. 'Maybe I shouldn't have told her to sit in front of me.'

 

Inuyasha sighed. 'What about you?' He repeated her question to himself. "Well, Sango doesn't bother me that much."

 

Kagome was beginning to get a little restless. "Shippo said that the reason you're always in such bad when I'm in heat and during my time is because you're in love with me." She rushed out.

 

Inuyasha cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. Kagome had completely disregarded tip-toeing around the specifics. "Damn Shippo." He mumbled under his breath. 'Might as well get over with.' Inuyasha nodded, confirming Shippo's statement. "A youkai would be more enticed by the scent of the one he thinks of as his mate or the one he wants to be his mate. The scent is like a call for any youkai that she is ready to be mated with and it is their instinct for them to take her." He emphasized 'take', trying to make the point that a youkai would rape if the female didn't go willingly.

 

Kagome listened absorbing all the information Inuyasha had just given her. "So you're always in a bad mood when I'm in heat because you want something you can't have?"

 

Inuyasha was surprised at Kagome's sudden disregard for his feelings, but his face didn't show it. He gave a nodded to respond to her question.

 

"If a youkai would rape a woman in heat, why haven't any youkai attacked me or Sango before?" Kagome asked looking at the hanyou, who still avoided her eyes.

 

"It's because of me." Inuyasha didn't have to look at Kagome to know that she was confused. She went asked what he meant, when he cut her off. "A youkai won't come if they smell another strong male youkai near the female. Any that did come, I killed before anyone noticed."

 

Kagome was slightly amazed at how protective Inuyasha was of Sango and herself. "Does Sango know?"

 

"Sango probably knows… I know she knows, her being a youkai exterminator. Probably figured it out when she noticed no youkai ever attacked. Miroku might know and there's know doubt that Shippo knows."

 

Kagome realized that she was the only one left out of the loop, besides Kilala. On second thought, she was the only one that didn't know, Kilala was a youkai so she could smell what was going on.

 

"Inuyasha you should have told me." Inuyasha heard the sadness in Kagome's voice and that made him regret not telling her even more.

 

"Kagome, I'm really sorry…" Inuyasha voice trailed off. Kagome had just stood up. The scent that was held back while Kagome sat with her legs closed, was just released and it was stronger than ever. Inuyasha was engulfed by the smell and as much as he tried to resist it, he couldn't. He began to think, he began to think about Kagome. Inuyasha imagined taking her right there. He wanted to flip her on her back, ripping her clothes off, and ram into her.

 

Kagome watched Inuyasha carefully, noticing the blank expression on his face. Kagome had a feeling that she what knew what was going on with him. She glanced down and saw his hardened manhood and knew exactly what was going on. Kagome smiled devilishly, forming a plan in her head.

 

Inuyasha quickly snapped of his trance when Kagome knelt and placed her face about an inch away from his. "Umm… Kagome." He muttered out, not know how much longer he could take being that close to her.

 

"Inuyasha is there something wrong?" She asked with a voice full of lust. She began to slide his haori off.

 

Inuyasha swallowed and blinked his eyes. "There's nothing wrong, umm I just want to know what you're doing?" Inuyasha stammered out.

 

Kagome tossed Inuyasha's haori off to the side. "I thought I was solving your problem, relieving some of your tension. I didn't think you would mind, I know he doesn't." Kagome said 'he' looking down at Inuyasha's manhood.

 

Inuyasha became even more nervous and aroused at her words. "It's not that…" Kagome placed a finger on his lips and quieted him, then loosened the belt of his hakama. "Inuyasha, what do you want to do?"

 

Her words echoed through his head. He wanted to take her right then and there, but it wouldn't be right, he hadn't even started the mating ritual. 'I wonder if she would let me mark her?' Inuyasha pushed all thoughts of the mating ritual from his mind, he had a beautiful girl sitting in front of him and she wanted him to do anything to her that he wanted.

 

Inuyasha used his hanyou speed and strength to flip Kagome on her back. He stared down her, smiling with his fangs showing. Inuyasha looked down at the being below him, sadly she was clothed and he didn't feel like undressing her. He let out a growl of frustration.

 

"What?" Kagome asked in response to his growl. "Is it the clothes?" Inuyasha nodded. Kagome mouthed something to Inuyasha and his eyes widened.

 

Inuyasha couldn't believe it, she told him to rip her clothes off, her school uniform. She had always said never tear her clothes because they were expensive. Inuyasha was hesitant but did it before she changed her mind. He took his index finger, starting at the top of her back, he slowly brought his finger down her spine. Inuyasha made sure he missed her bra, he wanted the pleasure of taking that off.

 

Kagome smiled as she pulled off her torn top. Inuyasha leaned and pressed his lips against hers. He licked at her lips asking for entrance into her mouth, she parted allowing him to enter. While exploring the inside of her mouth, Inuyasha sliced her skirt. Kagome arched up a little letting Inuyasha pull the ripped skirt from under her. Inuyasha broke the kiss and gazed at what was under him. He ran his hand down Kagome's smooth skin, going over every curve.

 

Kagome raised up so that Inuyasha could unhook the clasp of her bra. Inuyasha tossed the bra off to side, never taking his eyes off her breasts. Inuyasha started at her collarbone, kissing and licking, slowly moving down Kagome's body, stopping at her breasts. He licked the valley between her breasts then traced a line to her right breast.

 

A soft moan escaped Kagome's lips as Inuyasha sucked at her nipple. Inuyasha occupied his left hand with Kagome's other breast, running the pad of his thumb across her hardened peak. Inuyasha flicked his tongue at her nipple. Inuyasha abandoned her breasts and moved further down her body, leaving a trail of kisses as he went.

 

Inuyasha paused when he came to Kagome's panties. He looked up at her and smiled, then looked back down. The smell that came through the thin fabric was a delight to Inuyasha's nose. A mixture of Kagome's arousal and the scent of her being in heat drove Inuyasha wild. He pulled Kagome's panties down pass her knees but not all the way off.

 

Kagome squirmed when Inuyasha took his index finger and slid into her womanhood. He slipped another finger in and started to rub and run his fingers around her insides. Kagome writhe out of pleasure, trying to escape the intensity but at the same time wishing for more.

 

"Inuyasha." She said his name breathlessly. His ears perked at the amount of need and want that hung to every syllable. Nothing wanting to disappoint her, he split her folds with his index and middle fingers then leaded in, letting his tongue slide into her opening.

 

Kagome gasped, her eyes widened and her back arched up, the breath left her body. Her blood heated as Inuyasha lapped at her wetness. Inuyasha let his tongue dive into Kagome once again, ravaging her insides, sending jolts of excitement through her whole body. Inuyasha explored all of Kagome, tasting her sweetness.

 

"In… u… ya… sha…" Kagome choked out the name of her lover. Encouraged by the way Kagome called out his name, Inuyasha slipped his forefinger into her intensifying sensations already going through her body. "Inuyasha!" Kagome cried out his name, arching up when she reached her peak.

 

Kagome collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily. Inuyasha crawled up next to Kagome and plopped down next to her. He laid there thinking while she pulled her underwear back up. 'I wonder if I should mark her? Would she let me? Maybe I should. No, I'm going to wait.' Inuyasha peered at Kagome from out the corner of his eye. She just laid there, naked, holding on to the memory of the event that just passed.

 

"We should be getting back now." Kagome said as she rolled over on top of Inuyasha.

 

Inuyasha quickly changed from relaxed to surprised. "I thought it was my turn?"

 

Kagome laughed. "Nope, it was all about me." She stuck out her tongue. "I deserved some attention after the way you treated me." She said poking Inuyasha in the chest.

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Fine."

 

Kagome got up and picked up her bra, putting it back on. She bent over and picked up Inuyasha's haori and wrapped it her. Kagome looked around, searching for her school uniform, finally she found the shirt in the bushes and her skirt was hanging from a tree. She gathered her stuff and stared at Inuyasha.

 

"Alright, alright, I'm coming." Inuyasha reluctantly stood up. He picked up Kagome and ran off into the woods.

.:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:.

 

Shippo, Miroku, and Sango sat at the campsite eating some snacks from Kagome's backpack, awaiting for Kagome and Inuyasha's return.

 

"Inuyasha and Kagome have been gone for a long time." Sango said rubbing Kilala, who was curled up in her lap.

 

"I don't think they're talking anymore." Shippo said then tossed a few M&M's in his mouth.

 

Miroku gave one of his trademark lecherous grins. "Yes. I think you're correct Shippo, they're probably doing…" Miroku stopped speaking when he received a glare from Sango.

 

Before Sango could say anything, Inuyasha came down from the sky with Kagome in his arms. Miroku, Shippo, and Sango eyed the couple as Inuyasha let Kagome down out of his arms. Miroku spotted torn uniform that Kagome was holding and grinned at Inuyasha.

 

Inuyasha sat down across from Miroku. "What are you smiling at monk?" Inuyasha said putting on a grumpy act, most of which was genuine but somewhat exaggerated.

 

Kagome pulled a skirt and a t-shirt out her backpack. She walked into the forest and stepped behind a tree to change.

 

"So Inuyasha, some of us would like to know exactly what happen between you and Kagome." Miroku said still grinning at the hanyou sitting across from him.

 

"It's none of your business, Miroku!" Inuyasha snapped.

 

Miroku continued, ignoring Inuyasha tone. "Something big must have happen for you to be so full of energy." Shippo nodded in agreement.

 

Kagome stepped back into the clearing with Inuyasha's haori over her arm.

 

Inuyasha went to something to Miroku but was cut off by Kagome. "Could you two go and get some firewood and some food." Kagome pulled Inuyasha up off the ground, handed him his haori, and pushed him off.

 

"Fine, I'll go get some food." Inuyasha pulled on his haori and sighed walking off into the forest with Shippo following, while Miroku went in the opposite direction to get some wood.

 

When she thought the boys were far enough from them, Sango pulled Kagome down next to her. "What happen between you and Inuyasha?" Kagome looked at Sango with a confused expression. "Don't give me that look Kagome I know something had to have happened, you came back wearing Inuyasha's haori and your clothes were ripped up."

 

"Not only that Inuyasha seemed a lot happier than usual."

 

Both Kagome and Sango jumped. Miroku stood behind the two girls.

 

"Miroku!" Sango yelled. "What are you doing here, it should have taken you longer to get firewood."

 

Miroku dropped the wood next to the dead fire and sat down next to Sango. "Don't worry, I got plenty of firewood last night and piled it behind some bushes." Miroku rubbed his hands together. "So Kagome, tell us what went on between you two and we want details."

 

Sango sighed. "You are such a pervert."

 

"If you would let me I'll show you just how perverted I am." Miroku mumbled causing Sango to blush.

 

Kagome stuck out her tongue faking disgust. "Anyway, nothing happen between Inuyasha and me, he just explained why he was in such a bad mood."

 

Sango and Miroku both wore an expression of disbelief. "We know that there's more to it than that, you came back with your clothes torn up and wearing his clothes."

 

Kagome smiled and blushed when she thought of what Inuyasha did to her. Her head popped up as she snapped of her daze.

 

Sango smiled at her friend. "That look, what happen?"

 

Kagome's blush deepened. "Nothing much."

 

Sango began to giggle uncontrollably and received a strange look from Miroku. Sango stopped laughing long enough to ask another question. "Did he mark you?"

 

.:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:.

 

Inuyasha stood in a slowly running river, with his sleeves rolled up, trying to catch some fish.

 

Shippo was sitting on a rock waiting for Inuyasha to catch some fish. "What went on between you and Kagome, Inuyasha?"

 

Inuyasha stared down at the water, trying not to move at all, waiting for a fish to come near. "Nothing you little runt."

 

"Uh-huh. I can smell her scent all of you."

 

Inuyasha growled. "Close your nose. Anyway you're too young."

 

Shippo sighed. "Did you mark her?"

 

Shippo's question surprised Inuyasha causing to lose fish that he was trying to catch. Inuyasha walked over to Shippo, grumpy and mumbling under his breath. "No I didn't mark her, damn it."

 

Shippo jumped up on to Inuyasha's shoulder. "Why not?"

 

Inuyasha ignored Shippo's question and gathered the fish he had already caught, then headed back for the campsite.

 

.:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:8:.

 

"Mark me?" Kagome asked her friends wondering what Sango was talking about.

 

Miroku took the chance to show of his knowledge of youkai habits. "Dog youkai mark their mate by biting them on the neck. The mark tells other youkai that youkai, well in your case person, had been taken by someone. A youkai will rarely attack a marked… uhh, female! Yes that will do, a youkai will rarely attack a marked female because a female would only pick the strongest male they could find."

 

Kagome sat there wondering why Inuyasha hadn't marked her. Was he afraid that she wouldn't let him?

 

At that moment Inuyasha came out of the woods with Shippo perched on his shoulder and a bunch of fish on a string. Inuyasha walked over to the others with an aggravated look upon his face. He spotted Miroku and wondered what was going on. "Hey Miroku, I thought you were going to get firewood?"

 

Miroku smiled. "Look down at your feet and you will see that I have completed my job."

 

Inuyasha looked down and saw the pile of broken tree branches. He growled and shoved the fish at Miroku. "Since you had such an easy time getting wood, why don't you prepare lunch."

 

Miroku was about to pass up Inuyasha's offer but Kagome gave him a pleading look. "Very well Inuyasha." Miroku said with a small smile.

 

Miroku started preparing the fish for lunch. "Could you come with me Inuyasha?" Kagome stood up and dragged Inuyasha by his sleeve, not waiting for him to say yes to her question. Kagome pulled Inuyasha into the forest, about thirty feet away from the others.

 

"Kagome where are we going and why are we going there?" Inuyasha asked puzzled.

 

Kagome stopped suddenly and turned to face him. "I have a question."

 

Inuyasha sighed. "Another one?" He asked sarcastically.

 

Kagome stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes. "Yes another one."

Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh at Kagome's funny face. He sat down on the ground. "What's the question?"

 

Kagome sat down next to him and let her head rest on his shoulder. "Why didn't you mark me?"

 

Inuyasha body stiffened. He searched his mind for the answer. "Dog youkai mate for life and I wasn't sure whether you were ready for that kind of commitment. The only way to get out of it would be for either mate to die."

 

Kagome smiled. "Mark me."

 

Inuyasha's ears twitched and he looked down at Kagome, surprised at what she had just said. "What? Are you sure?"

 

Kagome nodded her head against Inuyasha's shoulder. "Yes I'm sure." Kagome paused. "Do you want to mark me?"

 

"Yes I want to mark you. I want to protect you. I want to love you." Inuyasha took a deep breath and laid down on the ground, instead of lying next to him, Kagome straddled him. Inuyasha looked up at her suspiciously, wondering what her intentions were. Deciding that Kagome hadn't sat on top of him to seduce him, he continued. "It's just your only fifteen, you have the rest of your life ahead of you to find someone, someone human, so why settle for filthy hanyou like me."

 

Kagome punched Inuyasha chest.

 

"Oww!" Inuyasha rubbed the spot where Kagome had hit him. "What did you do that for?" Inuyasha asked bewildered.

 

"Inuyasha you are so stupid, you're always insulting yourself. You are not a filthy hanyou, I like the fact that you're a hanyou, I don't think you would have those cute ears if you were a youkai." Kagome smiled and rubbed his ears, earning a playful growl. "I've found somebody I love and I don't wanna let him go." With that she leaned over and captured Inuyasha's lips in her own. Inuyasha parted his lips giving her entrance to his mouth, Kagome welcomed the chance to enter his mouth. Kagome explored his mouth, running her tongue across his, causing Inuyasha to fight back.

 

Both of their tongues sought for dominance over the other, Inuyasha let Kagome pin his tongue down, his curiosity wanting to know what Kagome would do if she won the battle. Kagome broke the kiss, both breathing heavily and Inuyasha was soon rewarded for letting Kagome win. Kagome gripped the bottom of her shirt and pulled it over her head. She tossed the shirt aside, revealing her bra, a black lacy bra made of a very thin material.

 

Kagome laughed to herself at the look of sheer joy that Inuyasha wore. "You seem a little excited Inuyasha."

 

"Well I'm not." Inuyasha replied, quickly removing the look of boyish glee that had been on his face just seconds ago.

 

Kagome smiled. "You might be able to hide your excitement but… you can't hide his."

 

Inuyasha followed the direction in which she was looking, his eyes rested a bulge between her legs. Inuyasha blushed out of embarrassment.

 

"No need to be embarrassed Inuyasha." Kagome said sweetly. She swiftly bent down and kissed Inuyasha's check.

 

Inuyasha grinned at Kagome, she had said that she wanted him to mark her and he would obey. Inuyasha leaned up and began kiss Kagome; starting at her collarbone, he left a trail that stopped right above her breasts. Inuyasha ran his hands up Kagome's back, his fingers found the clasp of her bra and he easily unhooked it. Kagome slipped her bra off, which was also tossed out of the way. Inuyasha flicked his across Kagome's nipple, he took her nipple in his mouth and sucked on it.

 

"Mmmm." Kagome ran her fingers through Inuyasha's soft, silver hair. She pushed Inuyasha back to the ground, while receiving a surprised look from him. Kagome smiled as her hands went behind her back. Soon after Kagome threw her skirt off to the side. Inuyasha wrapped an arm around Kagome, with his hanyou speed and strength, Inuyasha flipped Kagome over on to her back.

 

Kagome gasped in surprise. Inuyasha stared down at the girl beneath him. "I'm so lucky." He whispered out. Kagome smiled.

 

"Yes you are."

 

Inuyasha bent down and brushed his lips across Kagome's. He left a line a kisses down Kagome's body, only stopping when he came to her underwear. Her scent was strong, it called to him and Inuyasha wouldn't dare to ignore it. He slid her lacy, black underwear down and off her legs. They too were discarded.

 

Inuyasha stared into Kagome's eyes. He saw the same mixture of lust and love that resided in him. Inuyasha lowered his head down between Kagome's legs. Kagome's eyes widened as Inuyasha's tongue ravaged her. Kagome's body twisted in delight as his tongue ran across the inside of her wetness.

 

Kagome neared her peak but Inuyasha pulled his head up before she reached it. Inuyasha slithered up Kagome's body, stopping at her neck. Inuyasha sucked on her neck, at the spot where he planned to leave his mark, her pulse. He rubbed her wetness with his index and middle fingers, when he came to her opening, he let his fingers enter her. Kagome moaned as Inuyasha increased the rhythm of his finger movements. Kagome squirmed under Inuyasha as the ecstasy began to build in her body.

 

"In… u… ya… sha…" Kagome gasped out her lover's name. Inuyasha could tell Kagome was near her peak. Inuyasha bit down into Kagome's the same time she hit her climax. Sparks of heat shot through Kagome's blood, she felt sharp pain come from her neck but it faded as quickly as it happen.

 

However it was different for Inuyasha. The moment he sunk his fangs into Kagome and her blood touched his lips, a hot excruciating pain spread throughout his body. Inuyasha's head snapped up and his mouth opened wide as the pain became more intense and unbearable but, he couldn't yell or speak for that matter.

 

The pain passed within a minute, leaving him gasping and breathing heavily. Inuyasha buried his head in the crook of Kagome's neck, who was breathing hard too. Inuyasha laid on top of Kagome wondering what had just transpired.

 

Kagome took a deep breath. "I think we should be getting back to the others." Inuyasha nodding, never moving his head from its resting place, still wondering what to hell had happened.
