Chapter 4

 

The Morning After

Something tickled his nose and without opening his eyes, Inuyasha blew a puff of air upward from his lips. It didn't help in the least. Cracking open one eye, he could see shining raven hair bundled up against his cheek. His senses immediately came alive. Memories came crashing down around him and he couldn't believe what he'd allowed himself to do.

“Oh shit!” he exclaimed. “Shit, shit, shit! What have I done?!”

Kagome moaned and Inuyasha cringed and jumped from the bed. Turning around, he stared down in complete confusion.

 

Kagome lazily opened her eyes. “What is it, Inuyasha?”

Inuyasha just stood there, staring at her as her soft, chocolate eyes drifted shut again.

“Damn it, Kagome! Wake up,” he growled.

“What, Inuyasha? Today is Saturday, my day to sleep in. Besides, we were up all night,” she whined, burying her face into her pillow.

“That's just it! WE were up all night. Sit Up!”

Kagome pulled herself to a sitting position and rubbed her sleepy eyes. “What's the matter?” she groaned.

Inuyasha paced while trying to find a delicate way to begin the conversation, but found himself distracted.

 

“At least put a shirt on,” grumbled a more than annoyed Kagome.

Inuyasha noticed for the first time that he was stark naked. `What's happening to me!' Reaching to the floor, he snatched up his shirt and then decided to go ahead and get completely dressed.

 

Kagome simply sat under the covers, resting her head on her knees not wanting to wake up. “It's too early,” she groaned. “You might have youkai stamina, but I don't.”

Inuyasha's chest was tight. `What was I thinking?! What was she thinking?! This cannot be happening,' he protested as memories flooded his mind.

“Inuyasha, please sit down. You're making me dizzy.”

Inuyasha plopped down on the bed with a huff.

“Kagome, we need to talk,” he stated in consternation.

Kagome did not want to talk. Her mind screamed at what he might say. He was different now. Sure, he had turned hanyou this morning, but he had already been in the midst of their passion when he'd transformed and his transformation couldn't have been so complete as to include his mind, could it? `This is exactly what I was afraid of. His mind seems to accept his emotions so much better when he is human. Does he not even feel these things when he's a hanyou?'

“I don't want to talk. Please, Inuyasha...don't,' muttered Kagome, fearing the absolute worst.

Inuyasha felt like a spring wound too tight. `I'm too weak when I'm human. Why couldn't she have just said “No”, damn it!'

“Kagome...” Inuyasha didn't know what to say. “What are we going to do?”

“What do you mean?” Kagome did her best to avoid what was to come.

Inuyasha turned to look at her. Seeing an opportunity, she reached up to her neck and pulled her hair back.

“Have you forgotten?” she asked and stroked his mark.

Inuyasha's eyes flew wide. His head burned with the effort to break through the haze of the night before. `Marked! I marked her! Shit!' And, the curses against himself continued.

He didn't know what to feel. Should he feel joy at her for accepting him as her mate? Should he feel angry that he was weak? Should he be angry with Kagome for allowing him to do such a thing? Should he be sad, believing that he could not stay with her because of his proclaimed determination to go to hell with Kikyou?

`Is he regretting it,' thought Kagome, fear and the expectancy of heartache gripping her chest. She could not take this. It was just too much. `I need to think, alone.' Quickly, she pushed herself off the bed, legs giving way to the night's events.

 

Inuyasha caught her, feeling her trembling. `What have I done to her? I have hurt her in every way.'

“Let me go, Inuyasha.”

He could hear the hurt in her voice and did not want to let her go. He could protect her from Naraku's beasts, but not from himself. Leaning down to breathe in her scent, he gently released her, gazing into her eyes so full of pain. `Damn.'

Kagome weakly hobbled to her closet and retrieved a pink fluffy robe. She left him there.

 

Alone.
