InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The journey within ❯ Things Can Happen ( Chapter 3 )

Sesshomaru smiled at the playing Rin as she ran about the field of fresh flowers, letting the thought of how little time he had left with her as a child fade from his thoughts. She will be fourteen, in a few more months, then fifteen in another year. He had never intended on taking her as a mate when he revived her, he simply longed for more companionship than Jaken would ever give him. I guess my father's love for humans and his human-like emotions run deeper than I thought. I cannot stand humans, yet I love Rin as a daughter. I plan to make her my mate when she's fifteen, if she wants me. If she doesn't then she will remain a daughter to me. His thoughts were interrupted by Rin placing a ring of flowers around his head.

"Do you like them Lord Sesshomaru? I made it especially for you." She grinned brightly as she admired Sesshomaru in his new head ornament.

Sesshomaru returned her smile as he pulled her into his lap, kissing her on the forehead. "Thank you, Rin, I like them very much." He hugged her close, taking in her pleasant scent. He could tell from her intense smell that she would be having her monthly bleed in a few days. He would have to prepare to stay camped for about a week, and for a good mess. Jaken can clean up the mess as always. The rest will give me a good amount of time to relax.

Inuyasha awoke while Kagome was in the shower. Yumm, soaked Kagome. Grr, stop that Inuyasha! Kagome is not some geisha to drool over just because you have a morning 'guest'. He poked at his uncomfortable erection as he laid in the bed, hoping to get a look at Kagome in a towel again. Every time I stay the night, I always see her in only a towel when she's hurrying to get ready for school. "God I love it!"

"Love what, Inuyasha?" Kagome strolled into the room, garnishing only soaked locks and a teeny towel. Maybe this will get his attention, heh, No one’s home after all. Besides, I only have two more weeks until my eighteenth birthday. I'll just have a little fun while I'm feeling 'flirty'. Kagome 'accidentally' dropped her brush as she walked in front of the drooling Inuyasha. Slowly, she bent over, being very careful not to show him 'too' much.

Oh my God! I have to be dreaming? Ow! Nope, not dreaming. Does she not see me or som... Inuyasha's thoughts and everything else came to a dead halt as Kagome finally reached her brush, revealing to him her, well almost everything. He nearly came in his pants as he got an eyeful of Kagome's luscious buttocks. Whoa. Okay, Inuyasha, get a hold of yourself, you can't go over there. No. No. No. N-yes. He couldn't take it another second. Before Kagome could even turn around to playfully smile at him, he had her on the bed.

"Inuyasha? What are you.." She was cut off by Inuyasha's mouth on hers and his left hand slowly creeping up her thigh. YES! YES! YES! Kagome could think only encouraging thoughts as his hand traveled up her leg. She had been chomping at the bits for weeks on end for some kind of sexual contact that she even thought of asking Miroku, but no, she wanted Inuyasha.

Take her, she wants it! No!, I can't, not yet. Stop! Stop before you do something the both of you will regret, she's in heat. She's fertile, Inuyasha! She will become pregnant of you take her now, besides you haven't asked her if she will become your mate yet, you're too scared to. Take her! RUN!" Inuyasha stopped.

"I'm sorry, Kagome." He looked at her sadly, then bounded out of the open window. He couldn't do that to her, he hadn't asked yet. He wanted to , but not yet. I need to clear my head, maybe I can talk to that perverted monk. With that he leapt down the Bone-Eater's Well and into his own era.

"DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT!" Kagome flailed like a small child having a tantrum on her twin bed. Damn, stupid hormones! I am never, ever feeling 'flirty' again! How can you be so stupid? But, he did almost.. Gah! She froze, gasping at the sudden realization. "Ahhhhh!!! He. We. We almost... did it! Oh my friggen god! Okay, okay breathe, just breathe." She took a deep breath, relaxing herself as she got up from her bed to pace around the room. "Why did he stop? And, why did he say he was sorry?" I bet he feels like I didn't want him to. As fast as the thought hit her, she was practically out the door and down the stairs heading for the well.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled into the trees as she ran towards the Goshin-Boku(sp?). She hoped to find him there, that's where he always went to think. If he isn't in that tree I'm going to have a hanyou for dinner!

When is she going to learn to mind her own business? This is not her time, women do not have say over a man! Then why do you let her have say over you?
He closed his golden eyes, sighing. He knew why he let her be so defiant, so the way a woman, a wife, a mate shouldn't be. Because you love her, that's why. "Still that's no reason to just roll over and let a mere woman treat you like a damn dog, Inuyasha!" He stood up, fists clenched, as if to enunciate his point to the tree and beyond. "You have to show her, and everyone else that you are not some pup to be ordered around by a woman!" And then, he fell. He fell further than that tree branch, he fell right to the very pit of his soul. What about Kikyo? You forgot about her didn't you? Kagome will never accept you as a mate until you prove to her that Kikyo means no more to you. "But she does mean something to me." I will always care for her and feel that I owe her. Because no matter how much I love and practically worship Kagome, I will always hold a place in my heart for... no there will be no place left for Kikyo if I mate Kagome. Dog-demons mate for life, and Kagome is my chosen. All I feel for Kikyo is pity and regret. She was a pup's antidote for loneliness. Kagome is... is my now adult need, my deepest, my only desire. Inuyasha slid back down onto his branch, holding his head from the headache he had suddenly developed. He always managed to get a headache when he thought about his feelings for Kagome; the feelings he refused to admit, even to himself sometimes.

"Inuyasha. I know you can hear me." Inuyasha flattened his ears against his head when he caught the sweet sound of Kagome's voice. He did not want to talk to her right now. He had almost taken her without her consent, without asking her if she wanted to be his life-mate.Damn, stupid Inu-yukai mating times bullshit. Why the hell do we have to go in heat, why can't it just be the bitches?And besides, Inu-yukai mate for life, asking Kagome to be my mate would mean she could never leave me if she agreed. I just can't bring myself to ask that of her, not now anyway. "Inuyasha if you won't come down here, then I'm coming up there whether you like it or not!"

Stubborn men! I'll show him. I know how to climb a tree just as good as he can. Well, maybe not as good as he can, but I can still climb one. Besides, I really need to talk to him. He sighed heavily as Kagome began to slowly scale the tree.

Stubborn bitch! Will she ever learn? He jumped down the several branches separating him from where Kagome was working her way up to him. "Here, if you insist on coming up, let me help you get there a little faster. You're taking too damn long." Inuyasha held out his hand for her to take. She simply scowled at his gesture, refusing his help. "Fine, be that way." He snorted, grasping her around the waist despite her protests, bounding up to his previous branch.

"I could have done that myself, you know. I didn't need your help." Kagome brushed off her skirt before taking the seat next to Inuyasha who had his back against the trunk of the tree. I wanted to do it myself, but noooo he just has to come and be my friggen hero all the time! Oh, just admit it. "You like it."

Huh? Inuyasha lifted his scowling ears at Kagome's remark. "Like what?" He scooted her closer to him when she started to blush, placing her to sit accross his lap. "Like what, Kagome?" He pried again, not receiving an answer from the first try.

Did I just say that outloud? Kagome tried to squirm away from Inuyasha's grasp in an attempt to hide her feelings. However, Inuyasha refused to let her get away this time. He grasped her hips firmly, placing her back onto his lap and his newly aroused groin. Oh! "I like you being my hero all the time, even if it is annoying.. mmmm." Kagome could say no more as a moan overtook her body. Inuyasha had began to kiss and nibble her neck, leaving a small red mark.

"Kagome, I want to ask you something." He nuzzled the crook of her neck as he spoke, his voice dropping to just above a growl as he nipped her skin and gained a small yelp.

"What?" She successfully pulled away from him, allowing her to turn and face him. He looked almost pitiful with his drooping ears and sad pout.

"No, nevermind, it's nothing, just I'm sorry about um, uh, kissing you on the neck like that. It's just, ugh!" Inuyasha scrunched up his nose, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath before getting flustered and started to talk very quickly. "It'sjustthatitsthisstupidtimeofyearwhenalltheInu-yukaigointoheatandI'mjust reallyhoprnybecauseofitandI'msorry." Kagome caught something about yukai in heat and being horny before it finally clicked, Inuyasha was in heat.

"Oh, so..." Kagome turned three shades of red at what she was about to say to the hanyou, but she was eager to find out about his predicament. "so, you're in heat?" The Inu-hanyou nodded his head in agreement, turning his own shade of red at the current conversation. "So that's why you, you know this morning and kissed me the other day? I understand, but how long will this last? I don't want me and Sango to have to be worried about two hentai's traveling with us." Kagome cracked a smile and a small laugh, showing that she was trying to slice through the thick tension.

No, you don't understand; Sango has nothing to worry about. We only lust after the ones we've chosen to be our life-mates. Inuyasha sniffed the air lightly, taking in the intoxicating scent that Kagome was giving off. It only hurt matters worse that she herself, was in heat also; everything about how she smelled only further managed to clog up Inuyasha's senses even more. Plus, Sango doesn't smell like you do. Only you have that irresistable sweet, musky smell that makes me loose track of everything around me because you're all I can smell; especially when you're in heat like you are now. No, Kagome you really don't understand. "You two ain't got shit to worry about. I'm not like that stupid monk, I can keep my claws to myself." He could try anyways, a trait Miroku never managed to learn or even wanted to try to. "I'll sleep here, just so you will feel comfortable. Will that work for you your majesty?" He slung sarcasm and attitude in an effort to overcome the effect that Kagome was having on him, still sitting on his lap.

"Yes, that will be just fine! And you don't have to get such an attitude! All I wanted to know was how long you are going to be some horny mutt!" Kagome nearly spat and snarled as her temper flared, managing to stand on the tree branch only to lose her balance and topple off towards the ground.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha moved in a blur, catching Kagome's wrist before she had a chance to fall to her potential death. He winced as her upper arm slammed against the tree branch, making an awful cracking noise, causing her to cry out in pain. He hoisted ur up onto the branch as quickly and gently as possible, trying his best not to further injure the broken arm. "Kagome? Kagome? Are you okay?" Once she was safely on the branch again, he noticed that she was passing in and out of consciousness. He tried to make her keep her eyes open, but she would simply close them again as the pain overtook her arm. Inuyasha held the girl close and bounded out of the tree. There is no other way.
