InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Spring: Glory Of The Cherry Blossoms ❯ Seasons series 1/? ( Chapter 1 )

Did she know how much her presence affected him? How could she possibly know at her age? Inuyasha thought to himself. She was too innocent; too pure for him to let his base canine desires take control of him in her company. Once again he snarled bitterly as sleep eluded him due to the fire in his blood. Kagome slept blissfully unaware of the heated thoughts her companion directed towards her.

It was all because of the accursed season. Spring could be blamed utterly for his cranky attitude and less then total enthusiasm for shard hunting. The scent of Kagome's untried petals drifted across his nostrils and he let enough of his dignity drop away to pant, trying to draw more of the particles that made up the forbidden fragrance into his senses.

She shifted in her sleep and whispered his name. The soft sensual smile that flitted across her features gave hope to him that the forbidden might be attainable. It was the smile a woman gave when she desired a man. It was not Miroku's, or even his brother's name that she whispered, it was his!

Inuyasha waited until dawn to wake the little fox spirit Shippo who so adored Kagome. The Kitsune smiled sleepily at him and asked if he had `stood watch' all night. Though he appeared very young by Kagome's standards the little fox spirit was well old enough to know of all the intimacies that passed between males and females. In a century or so he would be big enough to try them for himself without being laughed at.

"This spring has been hard on you. Get some rest. You will look and act terrible if you don't, and is that any way to earn yourself a mate?" The wise male voice, deep enough to come from the throat of a full grown fox spirit, instructed him.

"Keep that up and you will give away your secret. Then you would have to walk just like the rest of us. Should Kagome discover that you are nearly a grown fox instead of a little toddler fox, she would no longer carry you on her shoulder like you were her child." Inuyasha teased the Kitsune. "In a few weeks it will not matter. I will take my adult shape at last and then I will have my own spring concerns to worry over! That and then my legs will be long enough to carry my own weight!" The fox replied.

So it would be in this century rather then the next that he would change into an adult fox! Surprising but not overly important news. Save for that the team would have another member capable of fighting little would change. It would definitely be better if there were more who hunted the shards. Especially more like Shippo, who had not ulterior motives that might bring harm to his Kagome. Wait a second! Since when did she become `Your' Kagome? He thought to himself, before the sleep of the exhausted claimed him.

Kagome woke up to the soft caress of a fox's tail brushing across her shoulder and tickling her face. "It's eight o'clock time to get up Kagome." The toddler-fox-spirit Shippo told her with a smile. She rose every day at dawn most times, but for some reason she had been overly tired. She had slept in almost three and a half hours late!

She didn't feel so bad when she looked over and saw the peaceful vision that was a sleeping Inuyasha. The dog demon was slumbering contentedly as sunbeams took liberties with his features. They were softening the sharp angles of his cheekbones and giving him an almost holy glow as they danced between the leaves of the forest canopy to shine on him. "He woke you for dawn watch did he?" Kagome asked the Kitsune

The little fox nodded. Before he had come to join them he had survived rather well on his own, and despite his apparent youth he could keep watch as skillfully as any other in their party. At least she trusted him with that. Soon she will trust you to watch her back. Shippo thought merrily.

The smell of bacon and eggs cooking over a campfire woke Inuyasha. He smiled before his eyes even opened. While she had started out as a despicable camp cook, Kagome had improved until she made every breakfast because of the party's asking it of her. He sat up, and rubbed his eyes vigorously. Then he strolled off to `answer natures call', as Kagome would say. He wondered what she would do if he answered the other call of nature that was plaguing him lately. She would probably `sit' me into oblivion! His amused grin did not go unnoticed as he returned to the fireside. Shippo smirked at him before returning his face to `happy child' neutral.

They had been on the trail for three days since he had spoken to Shippo about his `little problem', and they had yet to find any of the three shards that both he and Kagome could `feel' in the area. They were walking through a pleasant orchard district with many of the tree's looking like big fluffy clouds from the blossoms. Kagome was obviously distracted by all the natural beauty around her. The whole of the world seemed to be singing a song of rebirth and renewal at the top of its fragrant lungs.

Inuyasha saw an opportunity in the blossoming orchards. He walked to the front of their little group and asked Kagome a simple question. "Kagome, have you ever seen the blossoms from above?" She looked at him like he was off his nut. "Of course not Inuyasha! I'm a human not a bird!" He laughed at her, inspite of the fact that she could sit him into the middle of next week should she become so inclined.

He held out a hand to the fuming Kagome and once she placed her slender fingers in his grasp he lept skyward. Jumping from branch to branch he finally reached the great cherry tree in the center of the land of orchards. It towered above every other tree, though many were as old, few were fortunate enough to have such fertile soil. Once this tree had even possessed a shard, though Kagome now had that with the other shards of the Shikon no Tama that they had gathered thus far.

"So what do you think?" He asked her gesturing towards the splendid view. "Oh Inuyasha it's lovely!" Kagome breathed. Inuyasha smiled at her as she looked out over the treetops. His smile became a shocked look when she scooted over on the branch to sit closer to him. "Inuyasha I have something to tell you. I…" He placed one claw tipped finger over her silken lips. "I know Kagome. I've felt it too, and somehow I have always known." He told the trembling girl next to him, then he replaced his finger with the warmth of his mouth.

She tasted sweet, like vanilla lip gloss and underneath al that she tasted just like he knew Kagome would always taste. He pulled her into his arms, then leaned back against the branch on which he was sitting. He let Kagome determine how far they would go today, even though if they stopped Inuyasha was sure he would fall out of the tree with no sit command required. He hadn't counted on the ardent affections of an overheated teenage female.

Kagome could hardly believe how brave she had been. Yet Inuyasha had already known that she longed for him. He could probably smell it all over me whenever we got to close. Poor Inuyasha! It must have driven him crazy! She thought. Then she forgot all about it when he traced her upper lip with his tongue.

Inuyasha was surprised when he smelled how eager Kagome was. "Are...We…Doing…This …Today… In… This… Tree?" He asked incredulously, in between the kisses he trailed down her slim white throat. She nodded and slowly ran her hands up his chest aching to run her fingers through his hair. "Yes today… would… be… nice please Inuyasha." Kagome whispered softly.

Inuyasha nodded and began to unbutton her blouse. When he pushed the soft fabric aside he swore for a minute. She was wearing one of those modern era `bra' contraptions, and he had no idea how to remove it without ruining it, which he was sure she would not appreciate.

Kagome realized his dilemma immediately. She reached down and unhooked the front clasped bra. With some careful movements Inuyasha managed to get Kagome so that it was her back that rested on the broad branch of the ancient cherry tree. He had removed the fire rat coat and it cushioned her from the harsh bark of the tree.

Kagome sighed with delight when Inuyasha gently nipped her breast before taking it into his mouth while his clawed hand gently teased the other. She tried to keep quiet since the rest of the group was nearby and would finally rejoin them today. She did not want that perverted wannabe priest to catch her and Inuyasha like this, she would never hear the end of it. That and even worse she dreaded the look of disdain that would cross Sanyo's face when she saw how her friend was behaving. Shippo kun would probably approve so she worried not about him.

In the next minute she forgot all about her concerns. Inuyasha had slid himself down her body and shoved both hands up under her skirt. He carefully worked her underwear down around her ankles and finally got it off over her shoes. He put the sweetly scented fabric in the pocket of his coat, sure that she would `sit' him like there was no tomorrow if he lost them.

Then he moved back up and continued to suckle and play with her beautiful breasts. This time though he also slid his free hand down her stomach and back up under her skirt, caressing her tender, moist folds with two careful fingers. She arched into his hand with a moan of longing that made his already eager manhood jump to full attention. Slowly Dog-Boy! If you hurt her she will never forgive you, and if you make her fall out of the tree because of fear she will get badly hurt! He chastised himself thoroughly.

Then Kagome's whisper brought him back from his little introspective. "Inuyasha? Please Inuyasha don't stop!" His whispered reply was, "Stop? Ha! Not unless you sat me unconscious would I even consider stopping!" Then he tugged his gi pants down below his ass and his manhood sprang free.

Kagome gaped at the intensely wonderful male organ of her lover. The size of it frightened her for a moment. Then she looked up into its owner's eyes and her fear left her. She trusted Inuyasha. He loved her and she had no doubt that Inuyasha would do his best to ease the pain and bring only pleasure there after.

When Kagome looked up for a second and that absolute trust was in her eyes, he thought he would curl up and die from the bliss of that feeling. She loves me, she trusts me. I am complete at long last. He thought then with a whispered apology he slid home within her tight but welcoming heat.

For Kagome the quick searing pain passed almost as quickly as it started, then the most wonderful sensation of fullness, and being complete… being whole filled her. She took a moment to familiarize herself with the feeling of having him buried inside her. Then she arched her hips against his.

Kagome arched her hips, embedding him even deeper within her in her attempt to express her readiness to continue. Inuyasha was glad to comply. He began to move within her slowly, getting her used to how it felt. Her soft murmur of delight enchanted him. He began to move faster, and yet she still met him at every stroke. Soon he was pounding away into her flesh as hard as he thought he could without knocking them out of the tree.

They both came within seconds of one another and trembling, they stayed locked together for a few more stolen moments. "We should get you cleaned up quickly Kagome. The others will be here any moment now." He said with a soft smile.

What he did next astonished Kagome. Inuyasha knelt there in between her thighs on that tree branch and licked away every trace of her blood of lost innocence, along with his own seed that was commingled with it. She felt that it was only right that she return the favor. "Careful Kagome Chan. For me a little bit of licking can have more of a consequence then it can have for you." Her newly acquired experience told her that it would have an effect that she would want later but not with their friends within hearing range!

Down at the foot of the cherry tree Shippo sat smirking while he sniffed the air. Good, it took them damn well long enough! Hmph! If I was a grown male with an interest in a female I would not be so damn slow! He stopped thinking about the blood burning thought of the pair in the tree, when Miroku came around the corner with the ninja woman Sango in tow. "Hello little fox! Where are Kagome and our canine companion?" The lecherous priest asked. "Up here Miroku. Hello Sango San!"

Sango smiled and waved at her friend from the future. She noticed the strangely comfortable way Kagome was behaving with Inuyasha. She had a sinking feeling that only her perverted priest companion could explain this, so she asked. "Miroku?" he stopped a few feet ahead of her and asked, "Yes my beautiful Sango?" His unbearably annoying false benign mask was on his face. "Notice how odd our two companions are behaving? What do you make of it?"

Miroku stared at the couple up ahead of them. The young Shippo was riding as usual on Kagome's shoulder, right above that abysmally heavy backpack she always carried. However that was the only thing that seemed to be normal in the picturesque image that met his eyes. Kagome was walking slowly along as if in some mild discomfort. At first he thought she was in pain from something she ate.

When the realization that it was a pain from a far lower region of her body he stifled his shock and looked to her companion. Ordinarily had Kagome or any other member of the group lagged behind Inuyasha would have abandoned them to find their own way. It was not so today with the girl from the future.

Inuyasha was walking right beside her, slowing his demonic pace purposefully, and he was actually concerned about whatever was ailing her! When he offered with a far gentler then normal tone to carry Kagome. When the girl accepted with no pretenses at foolish false pride Miroku knew for certain what had happened.

"Ha! It took him long enough to accept his destiny!" Miroku muttered. "What!" Sango exclaimed loudly. "Never you mind dear, from what I can tell the issue falls under the `none of your business by decree of the Tetsusiaga ' category. Or to put it more simply, leave well enough alone!" he whispered at her, with a few shushing motions for good measure.

"Fine! I will ask Kagome later. She and I are friends, and I am sure she will tell me what is the matter!" Sango whispered back.

Later that night she found out for herself the truth of the priest's unspoken conclusion. She waited till Kagome left for the hot spring, and the priest was otherwise occupied to seek out her friend. She snuck along the path, being careful to make no sound. She often used times like these to practice her skills as an expert ninja and Youkai hunter. Continual practice had kept her alive when the skills were truly needed.

She arrived at the hot spring's main path a few moments after she left the camp. It was then that Kagome's voice spoke out from the near darkness. It sounded like she was talking to someone! Who could it be? {A/N: Wink, Wink ~_^ }

Sango crept closer, and peered at her friend across the steamy expanse of the hot spring's pool. She was safely concealed in the bushes, though she almost fell in the pool when she saw who was in the hot spring with Kagome! Inuyasha was in the water wearing, from what she could see through the clouds of steam, only his enchanted prayer beads! She waited for her friend to `sit' Inuyasha enough to drown the perverted baka. What happened next totally astonished her.

Inuyasha approached Kagome, who held open her arms to embrace him! Then their lips met in a passionate kiss. So that was what had made the pervert priest a tad hesitant to discuss what normally would have been a source of great amusement for him! Inuyasha would kill him should he even hint at teasing Kagome over their new relationship!

She had heard from her mother that the first time a woman was with a man was painful. Could that have been why Kagome had seemed so lethargic and pained? When Inuyasha turned slightly while lifting Kagome up out of the water, Sango got a full view of Inuyasha's manhood. That had been what was wrong with her for certain! Sango blushed as she slunk away before she could see any more then she had already.

When she returned to the campfire she was still blushing an unhealthy shade of beet red. Miroku took one look at her and smiled. He had been sure that when he and the little Kitsune had returned from gathering firewood to find Sango gone, that she had sought out her friend. He had also been marginally certain what she would come across if she looked for Kagome before the newly mated woman chose to return.

"Have you found your answers?" he asked teasingly. She merely nodded. She seemed too down for just having caught the two in a lover's tryst. Had she been in a normal healthy mood she would have used her boomerang on his head for asking such an impertinent question.

He let her be though, to busy in his own thoughts of what it would be like between them. Now that Kagome had taken that last step with Inuyasha he was certain that her friend would follow along soon after. "I wish she had just told me. I wouldn't have gotten mad or anything!" Sango muttered under her breath. He reached out and pushed a lock of hair out of her eyes.

"Dear Beautiful Sango she would have told you when she was ready. Such a new thing between to people is precious. They merely wanted some one on one time before they had to reveal their union to the world!" he explained gently. She looked up at him her tearstained cheeks glisened in the firelight. "Thank you Miroku, surely you are right." She said and then she curled up on her bedding and prepaired to rest for the night.

He however joined the fox in sitting and awaiting the return of the newly mated lovers, when he heard a distant yelp that sounded like Kagome, and then a soft chuckle from her lover he knew they were `mated' now as demons saw it. The mark on Kagome's neck was bright red when he saw it and it stayed that way. Warning all others away from the mate of the fierce warrior who wielded Tietsusiaga.

"Congratulations Kagome, Inuyasha. I am very happy for you." He said softly so as not to wake the sleeping Sango. "Thanks Priest" Inuyasha replied. Then they all settled down to rest except Inuyasha who though he held his mate in his arms while she slept kept the watch until midnight. He woke the fox who sleepily spoke in his cracking voice that he needed to go relieve himself before Inuyasha let him take watch.
