Kagome arched against Inuyasha's ministrations… he was attentive, and generous… he made sure her body was ready before he attempted to enter her so he would not hurt her, and for that she was grateful…

It just proved to her all the more that he was truthful about the things he said he felt for her…

He gently latched on to her soft nipple with his teeth, rolling it between his lips in a way that caused her to whimper with need. It hardened deliciously for him, and he took her breast in to his mouth, loving the way she tasted, nibbling and teething at her as if she were a drug...

Ever since he took her, he had a hard time keeping his hands off her.. even during school hours. Luckily, they had not been caught yet, but the heated gazes they sent each other had not gone unnoticed. While they seemed pretty tame in public, a fire that sizzled inside them both was unleashed in private. And both were more than willing to let it consume them deep into the night hours, which held the secrets of their romance together.

Running a hand over her exposed ribs, he traced her side, raking his nails over the naked flesh. She arched in to his touch, silently pleading for more as he kissed the plane in between her breasts sweetly. Though she was no unnatural beauty, being so small and maybe a little too thin, he couldn't deny the absolute perfection in the way she molded to his body. She was his own dark goddess, and he probably would have felt inadequate if she was some shinning, glorious being… he would have felt wrong taking her.

The logic in it was twisted and weird… he knew it. They were both tainted, so in a way they both fit in a world together all on their own, in a way no others could understand… and if she were radiant, she'd be pure… and then their love would never have been fully real. Just some obsession with each other... cause then, she'd never fully get him.

But knowing, and understanding each other brought them to a level they both could complete each other. He would forego a romantic ideal for the true thing, with the pain and immortality of that love… And never in a million lifetimes would he ever give that up.

His growl vibrated through her chest, causing her flesh to goose bump, sending a delightful shiver through her being. Heavy lidded eyes turned their glazed expression down towards him, and he offered her an arrogant smirk.

He was the only one who would ever elicit a look such as that from her.

And he intended on it staying that way.

Sliding up her body to consume her mouth, he pried apart her legs further and dipped himself inside of her, sheathing himself to the hilt in a swift motion. They both broke apart and simultaneously quivered at the feeling, closing their eyes in unison. It felt euphoric, bordering on some sort of drug that got them high in a place they could not descend from for hours at a time. Still shuddering at the feeling of her walls tugging at his length, Inuyasha took her mouth with his again. She writhed beneath him at the feeling of him being inside her, trying to coax him into starting…. But he liked to make her impatient, begging on a physical level.

It wasn't long before she started whimpering as he slowly dragged himself out, only to halfway sheath himself again. It was torturous for her, and she mewling before long. Nuzzling her to placate her, he drove into her roughly and she bit her lip to keep in a cry that threatened to spill out over her lips. Grinding his hips down in to her, he pulled out and shoved forward again with that same abandon.

Something wild broke forth between the two, something untamed neither of them could explain fully, and suddenly Inuyasha was driving into her mercilessly, grunting and panting at the exertion. Kagome planted her hands on his shoulders to steady herself, unable to meet his pace any longer and allowed him to repeatedly drive in to her. All she could do was try not to scream and wake Sesshomaru, and it was taking all she was worth not to let it loose…

“Inu…” came her soft, broken moan… heat was rapidly coiling around inside her lower abdomen, as she was sure it was the same with him, for she felt him tense up quickly…

“K'gome…” was his terse reply, his eyebrows drawing together in concentration… to her sounds, her smells, her expressions… her soft, pliant body… the way she felt squirming against him… The sweat that mingled on both their bodies as he joined with her repeatedly, her hot core tightening around him, signifying her upcoming orgasm…

It was all too much to take, to register, and it overloaded inside him mind and sent him spiraling down towards her to bite down upon the scar on her shoulder that was a product of their first coupling… Kagome did the same, and they came together… His seed shot deep within her, mingling with her essence, and leaving the smell of sex lying thick in the air.

It took all Inuyasha was worth to not fall atop of her, and he was grateful when she tugged him down next to her. He remained inside her as he moved in response to her. Breathing harshly, he wasted no time in gathering the young woman that laid beside him into his arms, bringing her body as physically close to him as possible. Their limbs tangled together effortlessly, and their eyes locked.

Panting, he smirked at her. She smiled shyly back, and he shook his head. “You're going to be the death of me… you're exhausting, Kags…” Lifting a gentle finger, she traced the contour of his jawline and smiled sweetly for him, “I could say the same about you, Inu.”

He sighed, and stretched, scratching absently at the wall. Yawning mightly, he repositioned his arms around her and cuddled against her, burying his nose in to her sweat-soaked hair. He crinkled his nose a little, and she giggled. “Shower?”

He rolled his eyes as if thinking, and groaned, “That means moving… and moving takes effort. Effort is bad…” He shook his head `no-no', and closed his eyes in a satisfied afterglow. A comfortable silence took hold of them for a while, and they laid contented in each other's arms.

But it wasn't long before Kagome spoke… she tended to like to have conversations after sex, which were sometimes annoying, considering the fatigue they both generally shared… But they were usually valid, so Inuyasha always tried to remain patient with her constant need to converse after making love.

“Inuyasha, we've never really talked about something…”

Inuyasha cracked one golden eye open at her, questioning her silently. She smiled gently back at him, her sapphire eyes softening for him.

“What?”

Kagome shrugged slowly, wanting to approach this subject delicately, seeing as neither of them had ever brought it up before…

“Inuyasha… why do you suppose that your eyes are gold, and mine are blue?” Inuyasha stopped for a moment, rolling over on his back and opened both eyes to stare seriously at the ceiling. He seemed to be contemplating deeply for a while, and Kagome watched him carefully for an answer.

“… you know… I've thought about it, but never really seriously… it was more of a passing thought, you know? It just seemed so natural after a while that I didn't really consider it, though it scared me at first. But then, I was too scared to think about it. And now, it's just about always constant that it never crosses my mind… But it seems only you and I can see it.” Kagome turned her twilight eyes towards him, her orbs sparkling with mirth and understanding. He cocked his head slightly at her slightly amused look, and he frowned at her.

“What?”

Kagome just shrugged, a secret smile gracing her lips as she turned from him as if to sleep… It seemed she knew something he didn't.

He didn't like secrets.

Glaring at her back, he tugged on her shoulder a bit to roll her back to face him.

“What's gotten into you?”

Kagome smirked again, covering her mouth, “You mean, besides you?” Inuyasha's eyes widened a bit, never suspecting Kagome to be on the end of a dirty joke. He found himself somewhat speechless and rather flushed as Kagome broke out in a fit of giggles at his reaction.

He growled a little, reaching forward and grabbed her nose. She squeaked a little, frowning at his retaliation. Inuyasha genuinely smiled… carefree Kagome was rare indeed, so he treasured it with all his being… and he knew, of all the people in the world, he was the only one who had the precious gift of seeing this side of her.

And he cherished it so.

“I'm sorry, I couldn't help it,” Kagome looked up toward him again, with that same shy smile that stole his heart and made it flutter. He grinned at her and shrugged, “It's all right. It was cute…” Kagome slapped his shoulder lightly, faking a mock gasp, “No! Manly man Inuyasha said cute… the world must be ending.” He playfully growled at her, “Don't get used to it, it's not gonna happen again.”

Kagome tilted her head at him, a knowing smile teasing the corners of her lips again…

Inuyasha was sure… he could definitely get used to her smiles. All of them.

“You've changed,” she stated simply. Inuyasha tilted his head the opposite way of hers, grinning down at her. “Oh, really?” She nodded, curling up against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her again, resting his chin on top of her head. “So have you, Kags…”

She didn't reply, but he knew she didn't need to.

No point in delving into the obvious...

Nothing else needed to be said, and it was apparent she agreed with him, because it wasn't long before her breathing evened out and sleep took hold of her.

Brushing a kiss to her forehead, Inuyasha prayed to the Gods that just for one night, she could sleep like she deserved it…

And he'd be awake to watch it all, unwilling to let anything destroy her moment of peace…



Kagome had had enough. She couldn't stand by and watch Sesshomaru mercilessly attack Inuyasha anymore when he was afflicted like this…

“STOP IT!” she screamed out, running towards where Inuyasha's body lay prone on the ground… he was unconscious, thanks to Sesshomaru…

But the cost of it were a massive number of wounds Kagome was ill at ease with… it made her stomach churn, and tears pricked the corners of her eyes with unabashed fear.

And while she knew… she knew this man standing before her could easily strike her down, she could no longer stand to the side and do nothing…

Tetsusaiga trembled in her hand, as she covered Inuyasha's body with her own and sent a infuriated glare over her shoulder to the Youkai Lord of the West.

“He finally stopped moving,” was all he simply said, as if that was all there was to it. At this, he began to approach her and Inuyasha, and the angry sting of tears at the edges of her eyes became more prominent. Indignation flared in her chest, and she yelled at the Taiyoukai, disregarding everything… the entire situation, though her self-righteousness in Inuyasha's place was confusing and didn't make sense to her…

“Don't come near, baka!"

Strangely enough, he listened.

Somewhere in the recesses of her mind, she registered Sango screaming to her, “It's dangerous!” She and Miroku came rushing to her side to aid her, being so loyal and so faithful… they would never betray them. They were family, and they were always there… even now, after what Inuyasha had done… They were still willing to stand by him.

Golden eyes stared at her, cold and stoic… compared to Inuyasha's blazing inferno, though the same color, they were as different as night and day… The tension in the air was thick, and he cut through it easily as if it did not affect him by stating obviously to her, “If you want to stop him, change his form by using Tetsusaiga.”

Kagome felt her eyes widen, understanding dawning on her… Her eyebrows drew together, and she peered at him curiously, distressed…

He's not trying… to kill him…?

“Inuyasha…?” it was hard to see… she was covered in warmth, the familiar tingle of his aura tickling her senses, reassuring her she was all right… But she felt so… so weird…

And he was holding her a bit too tight…

“…Kagome…?” his unsteady voice came close to her ear, and she choked a little on her words…

“Can't…breathe…”

He brought her away from his body, and his eyes peered down at her… something akin to disbelief fluttered there, making her a bit confused… she couldn't really remember anything…

“I'm kinda… dizzy…”

The disbelief in his eyes increased, and he stammered to her, “You're still…” But Myouga cut him off, “'Course you're dizzy. I sucked a lot of blood to get the poison out of you.”

Tilting her head a little, even though it caused waves of nausea in her, she saw the usually small flea demon inflated to about the size of her head, sucking on Miroku's neck… It would have been amusing, if she didn't feel as if the world was spinning…

“This is really strong stuff! That's the best I can do!”

She lifted her eyes again to watch Inuyasha's mouth move, as again he stuttered… that was so weird for Inuyasha to do…

“Myouga… you…”

He was cut off once again as Miroku groaned, and began to stroke Myouga's head. “I see! You will give me a child then?” Myouga gave the monk a disgusted look and shook his head, “At least he's awake…” With that, the bundle rolled away from him, and Miroku slowly opened his eyes to greet the world again.

“Miroku!” Shippo called him, and the houshi sighed. “Oh? It must have been a dream then… what a shame…”

Shippo glared at him, muttering under his breath, “You were dreaming something perverted, I bet…”

Kagome sighed, and groaned at the noise and the light… Kirara mewed at her mistress, and Sango woke as well…

Though she felt so bad… she still felt so good…

Everyone is okay…

And she voiced her happiness…

“Everyone's all right… thank goodness…”

Myouga and Shippo began to fuss a little, but Kagome's attention was soon drawn to the true concern that showed on Inuyasha's face, plain for all to see… her heart constricted, and she felt bad for making him worry…

“Sorry we worried you, Inuyasha…”

Inuyasha's face scrunched up in the familiar anger, but his voice betrayed a raspy quality she wasn't used to hearing, “Idiot! What are you apologizing…” he cut himself off, as if unable to even say anything more.

Carefully, he laid her down, and turned around to face away from her. She was a little confused by his actions, so she called to him, “Inuyasha?”

Shippo ran around in front of him, and peered up into the hanyou's face, and then leered a bit before complaining, “Oi, what gives? And you just gave me that whole `men don't cry' spiel too!” Quick as lightning, Inuyasha bopped the kit on the head and said, “Shuddap!”

Kagome felt her own trails of disbelief edging at her consciousness, and she quietly whispered, “What…?”

Myouga apparently shared her feelings, for he spat out, “Ridiculous! In all the years I have been his servant, I have never seen Master Inuyasha cry!” Shippo frowned, hopping on to Inuyasha's shoulder and said, “There, LOOK! See, he is!” Myouga grumped, and hopped on the other shoulder, leaning over to see his master's face, “Where, where?” Inuyasha tensed up, knocking them both off roughly at the same time as he whirled around and shouted loudly, “I ain't fucking crying! Everyone's okay!” His snarled at them, but it was apparent that there were telltale tears itching at the corners of his eyes, and threatening to break free…

Kagome felt a warm smile come over her lips as she watched him, her features softening as she gazed upon his rough demeanor…

Thank you, Inuyasha…

Kagome fell from her reality, slipping in to the time warp inside the well… But instead of reaching the other side, she continued floating in time and space…

Her heart clenched with worry… this wasn't usual… This wasn't even normal…

She looked up, and again that familiar priestess that held her face looked down upon her. Her eyes hardened perceptibly, and she spoke… disappointment laced through her voice, like a mother might have disappointment for an action her child takes that was particularly dangerous and reckless.

“You haven't retrieved it yet.”

Kagome's began to shiver, the almost irresistible notion to cry overcoming her… her lip trembled, and she offered her hands up in apology. Being without it was like missing an important piece of herself… and without it, she was not whole.

“You do not have much time life. You are in danger. You need to get it, and soon, Kagome.”

Kagome nodded, tears running freely down her cheeks. She felt so empty… so alone without it. It was gone.

“Kagome…” a whispered voice broke in to her mind, but she didn't want to loose this… she was so close to remembering exactly what it was, she didn't want to leave yet…

“Kagome…”

It was gone…
