Silver Light in the Heart of Darkness

Chapter 1:

Discovery

"Now that I know what I am without

You can't just leave me here

Breathe into me and make me real

Bring me to life."

~ Evanescene: Bring Me To Life

"SIT!" Kagome stood up, a murderous glare on her face* Stupid mutt! I can't believe him! * She fumed, pointing at the ground Inu Yasha slammed into.

"OUCH!" He pulled himself off the ground after the spell wore off, rubbing his face. He was starting to get sick of that. "What was that for?" He growled at her, eyes glowing.

"If I have to tell you obviously haven't been paying attention to anything!" She was angry, he gave her that but he wasn't sure about what.

She continued to point at him, shaking her finger but he wasn't listening again, he secretly admiring her blush, that reddish tint that formed on her cheeks when she was angry with him, her eyes were on fire and there was a strange glow to them that made Inu Yasha sweat.

* Stupid human girl * he mentally barked at her, cleared his lustful thoughts and proceeded to leap up into the highest branch of the tree they were eating under. He glared down at her "Like I actually care what you said! Keh!" he yelled. He closed his eyes, crossed his arms and ignored her.

The sun was setting over Feudal Japan, he watched it for a few minutes, listening to Kegome utter angry words on her breath, things even he didn't care to repeat. He glanced down at her, watching her put away their afternoon picnic. He could smell her anger from up here and he winced a little, he had a feeling he was going to regret something really soon. He grinned; she was rather cute when she was mad.

"Are you going to help putting this stuff away?" She yelled at him "Last time I checked you ate most of this food!" pointing at empty Ramen Noodle containers.

"NO." he stated, matter factually. "Your food was crap anyways, why would I …" he winced.

"SIT BOY!"

Shippou burst out laughing as he watched Kagome and Inu Yasha argue, he winced at the last fall, considering she sat him when he was 20 feet in the air. That had to hurt, half demon or not. Its been nearly two years since Kagome appeared through the well and they had nearly completed their search of all the shards for the Jewel of Four Souls, which she accidentally destroyed with one of her arrows. She had grown into a powerful Miko, a high priestess charged with the protection and the purification of the jewel, and a great archer, which even surprised Inu Yasha, she was an important asset to battle now and everyone trusted her with that skill. She barely missed the mark now. Inu Yasha wanted to become a full Youkai once they managed to get all the shards, but we figure his mind is changing, the gang sees that those two are bound to each other but are too stubborn to admit it.

"SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT!"

"Oh for the LOVE OF GOD woman! Please STOP!"

Sango grinned; she sat next to Shippou and Miroku. "He complained about her food again?"

"Yup!" responded the other two. She sighed and giggled. "Poor guy, I wonder when he's going to learn to stop doing that?"

***

The night was still; you could hear your own breath. Kagome sighed a little, she DID feel bad about sitting Inu Yasha that many times but its not like he didn't deserve it. He did insult her food and wasn't paying any attention to what ever it was she had been saying. She wanted to apologize to him but now was not the time, she had sensed some shards not far from here and they were looking for them.

The moon was full and brightened everything around them; the woods, they didn't seem all that threatening anymore. She caught a glimpse of Inu Yasha, leaping from tree to tree, sniffing the air, and looking for a lead of some kind. He mesmerized her, her love for him was overwhelming sometimes that she could barely handle it but he was bound to another until she was put at peace. It made her sad a little bit but she knew that her love for him was what made her magic strong, created her urge to protect him.

His hair shimmered in the moonlight; silver reflections that made the stars shy away. She could see his ears moving around, listening for demons, and maybe for her… Kagome pushed the thought away, now was not the time for self-pity. His eyes burned a soft gold and they always had such a serious look on them, it made you wonder if he ever smiled, but she knew better, she had been allowed to see that secret side of him.

She closed her eyes for a moment, picturing his face; his lips; she followed his jaw line to his neck and peeked under his shirt. She had seen him naked before and had always wanted to explore him, taste him. She secretly wondered what it would be like to feel his fangs on her, and fill her mouth with his essence.

THUD

* Unbelievable! * She had to smother a laugh, she had tripped on a root or something and now she was eating dirt. * That's what I get for not paying attention. I feel so …* "STUPID!" Inu Yasha yelled at her, finishing her thought. She grinned and started to pick herself up when a sharp pain shot up from her knee.

"Are you okay?" Inu Yasha asked softly. She felt his hands on her, probing her knee, looking at the injury. He had leapt to her in a matter of seconds after he heard her whimper in pain.

She was so surprised by the concern in his eyes that she didn't respond right away. He was so close to her … Her heartbeat was deafening in her mind, his ears twitched a little, could he hear it? She bit her lip, trying to calm herself.

"Umm… yeah… I'm fine; I just tripped on this root I think…" for just a moment she wondered if he had thoughts of her at night. Did his heart race when she was near him, when she could just easily tip her head and gently press her lips against his… He picked her up and placed her on his back.

"We'll make camp at the next clearing," he told her. She nodded as she absently twisted his hair in between her fingers. She could feel every muscle in his body working, pushing; it made her pulse flutter when she thought about him naked, working his muscles in a different way. She sighed and took in his scent slowly. * I'm so bad, what would he think if he could hear my thoughts? A girl can fantasize … * nuzzling her head on the crook of his neck and back, she closed her eyes.

Sango giggled and whispered to Miroku "She did that on purpose! Look at her!" Miroku grinned and agreed with her. He turned to see Inu Yasha giving them a murderous look but the two continued to grin.

They arrived at a clearing when the moon was high in the sky. Camp was set up quickly and he laid down the sleeping Miko on a makeshift bed, not to far from his, he had a bit of trouble since her fingers had tangled themselves in his hair and Sango found it quite amusing seeing the hanyou struggle with Kagome's fingers, avoiding waking her. He could be gentle at times with her, when she wasn't looking of course. He took off his red coat, covered her gently with it, he peeked down to her face to see if she had a woken and was thanked with a loud snore. He rolled his eyes, *That's what I get for my trouble* he looked almost bored.

He looked to the fire and wished there was a tree nearby he could sit upon, to see everything but he would not leave Kegome in this clearing without his protection. He let the fire warm him from the chill of the night and caught the shadows from the flame flickering across Kagome's face. Her scent had changed again today, when she was walking, it had distracted him for a few moments. He closed his eyes, remembering her touch in his hair and her heart beat changing when he was close to her earlier. He had wanted to tell her something but he was always at a loss for words when she changed like that, it confused him and exhilarated him.

He absently touched the beads around his neck for a moment, deep in thought. He peeked down at her and found her smiling, with a blush on her sleeping face; he wondered what she was dreaming of. He watched her form under his coat; he could see every curve of her body under the material. Her scent was changing again and his eyes grew wide.

*She's dreaming of mating? * He was shocked, almost angry. He wanted to know who was mating with her and kick its ass. He growled and bared his teeth at his imaginary foe, *it better not be that wimpy wolf*. He was getting ready to wake her, the only way he could figure out how to stop this... this thing mating with her! He leaned down towards her and he heard it… softly on her lips:

"Inu Yasha don't stop … show me again…"

He stopped; his heart had skipped a beat. Him. She was mating with him. He wanted to laugh; he almost kicked his own butt. His ears flickered. There. He could hear her heart pounding, a blush was forming and it was hidden from his sight. He sniffed the air realizing that the scent that lingered around her was for him alone. His lust had awakened in him, he sensed that she was ready for him; he could taste it in the air. Animal lust had taken over his senses and he crawled towards her, his eyes glowing with her, drinking her smell. He wanted her now, he let out a soft growl, almost like a purr, his senses were reeling with her and he was drowning in his need of her.

He wanted her breath on his body, her voice calling his name in soft whispers, see her thrash around under him. He wanted to breathe her in and suffocate in her love for him, she was h…

"Hey Inu Yasha! You want to go to the spring and clean up?" Came a voice from over the hill. He bit his tongue, regaining control for a moment. He glared at Miroku who finally appeared from around the hill and growled at him. He was still drunk with her smell and had to get away from her or he would lose the little control that he had. He got up and walked towards the monk.

"A cold bath should fix me up" and glared some more at the monk.

"What?" was his response at the cold look he was getting from Inu Yasha as he walked by, a bit more awkward than usual "Did I interrupt something?"

"No you perv!" shot back the hanyou. "And where is this "spring"?"

Miroku glanced at him; "You think I made it up?" he followed the bitter half demon who seemed to be almost running to the springs.

"Wouldn't surprise me."

"I take offence to that! Sango and Shippou were just in it!"

"And I'm sure you "accidentally" found it while she was naked in the spring" growled Inu Yasha.

"Well, I had to make sure no demons would attack them" he grinned.

Inu Yasha rolled his eyes. *What a pervert, no wonder Sango always hits him, probably makes her feel better.*
