InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Love of Angels Fallen ❯ The Love of Angels Fallen ( Chapter 1 )

The Love of Angels Fallen
By: Caligula and Eincrow

'Yeah,' he thought to himself, 'Yeah, I'll tell her.'

Getting up from his perch in the god tree and jumping down onto the soft grass below, the young hanyou Inu Yasha got up and dashed off into the forest in search of his, well, companion, Kagome.

'She isn't your mate yet, don't think like that!' he admonished himself. Catching her scent, he was taken in by the tantalizing smell that was her. She smelled clean and fresh, just like wild flowers and other beautiful and wonderful things. He dashed left, and there she was, sitting under a tree, away from their camp on the edge of a small clearing.

"Kagome!" he called out to her, not wanting to startle her by just popping up before her. After him telling her that every noise may have been a demon she had finally gotten the point.

'I need to do this right,' he thought. She looked up, smiling at him, overjoyed at the arrival of his company. She had always felt close to him, there was just something about him, beside the fact that he was a half demon with the body of a god! She felt a little surge of energy in the pit of her stomach at the thought. A small tremor of excitement washed over her, and she tried her best to cover it up.

"Oh. Hi, Inu Yasha!" Standing, she walked towards him. 'Oh shit! Here we go!' raced through his mind.

"Um. Kagome? I have something to tell you." He trailed off; his eyes darted from Kagome with difficulty, over to the edge of the clearing to his left. And there, hidden by the spring leaves until that moment, his golden eyes met two pairs of small bright green orbs, glimmering in the darkness.

He stared, awestruck, as one, and then another demon, shorter than the first by six or seven inches, entered the clearing. The first one held himself to a bit of a regal air, looking down on the hanyou with a bit of distain in his expression, his crème puff of a tail twitching out from behind it.

The second had rich, dark crème hair reaching almost to her feet. An asset when compared against the many forests of which she came from. Her eyes were a light brown. Her clothes were practical, wearing nothing loose or hanging to get caught by a branch when leaping from one to the next. Right now, for she changed with the landscape, she wore soft, brown, leather boots with swaths of dark green cloth wrapped around them. Moss colored pants, poofing out slightly, were tucked into them. Her shirt was form fitting, showing a quite obvious bust, and definitely not reflecting the times but a smarter decision than the usual wide kimono sleeves. Its face was softer, and calmer that the first, who held a whisper of nervousness inside with the situation at hand. "Identify yourselves!" barked Inu Yasha. "Kagome, stay behind me" he said softly.

"Stand down pup! We'll get to that!" Said the male gruffly, commanding tone present. This male strangely reminded Kagome of a jumbo version of Shippo, well a little more mature version, of course.

*** Back at camp***

Shippo was rummaging through Kagome's much-abused backpack. Things were thrown out, landing in a heap, as he searched for what we all knew was his addiction: candy. But a scent reached his small curious nose that made him pop right out of the bag, and look wildly around.

It was so close! 'But it can't be! Their dead!' His eyes darted about. 'I have to make sure!' And with that, he barreled into the trees to the left of the god tree clearing, a blur of brown and crème fur.

*** Back with Inu Yasha and Kagome***

"Look pal! I'm not playing games! Who are you, and what do you want!" Inu Yasha yelled across the clearing, his golden eyes glinting.

"I thought I said to stand DOWN!" Finishing his sentence, he made a thrust with his right paw which hurtled Inu Yasha sideways into a nearby tree with a resounding *THUD*.

"Insolent little whelp!" The first stranger muttered. At this point, the second creature, Kagome guessed was the previous male's mate, judging by the aura of closeness they shared, approached.

"Are you the young miko, Kagome?" She asked, her voice a breathy alto. Looking into the demoness' brown eyes, Kagome snapped out of her stupor.

"Um. yeah." She responded simply.

"Oh, now you've." Inu Yasha's voice issued from the badly beaten tree from her right, which Inu Yasha had been forced to be very friendly with these last fifteen seconds, but it was cut off by a loud squeal from behind her followed by the blur of fur that was Shippo.

"Grandma! Grandpa!" he cried, jumping into the female's arms, which folded quickly over the ball of fluff.

"Oh! Shippo!" She hugged him close. "It's been too long. I've missed my only grandson." The female said quietly and with emotion almost blocking the words in her throat.

Looking down at her grandson, a small tear escaping her eye, pride at the gleam of courage the little Kitsune had picked up since last they met. It seemed that the arrival of Shippo made the male drop his authoritative air, for one of a fun-loving teenager.

"Hey Shippo! How are you, Grandson! I see you've been keeping these two in line?" He chuckled. Kagome just stood by, staring, mouth hanging open slightly, utterly blown away by this family reunion.

"Yeah, Kagome has been great! She's been all nice to me and everything, and Inu Yasha was okay, even if he beat me up sometimes." His voice turned into a little annoyed growl at the end but it did not last. "But okay all the same!" responded Shippo excitedly to his estranged grandparents.

"Oh, that's right, Kagomeeee!" Shippo squealed out, with even more excitement. Kagome snapped out of her shocked stare.

"Huh?! What is it Shippo?" She enquired, stepping forward to see what the little fox demon wanted. She had done it for about a year now, hadn't she? She was almost. his mother.

"Kagome, I would like you to meet my grandparents! This is my Grandpa Cali and my Grandma Naja!" Each of the beautiful fox demons nodded as their names were mentioned.

"He's. our son's son." Said Cali, inclining his head, ruffling the kit's red hair. It still hurt to talk about his son's fall to those lightning brothers, not to mention the fall of their entire clan while they were away...

"Speaking of sons." Cali's eyes latched onto Inu Yasha. "Come over here. I think we may have interrupted a very important thing between you and Kagome." Cali said, his voice brightening.

"Ah, young love!" Whispered Naja to her mate, a smile causing dimples to appear. The color drained from Kagome's face, LOVE? Did Inu Yasha actually love her?

'But. no, it has to be Kikyo, but. well, I love him, and if he loves. *gulp*, me, then, could he be ask.?' Her thoughts stopped immediately as did her heart, almost, as she felt a pair of coarse hands encapsulate hers.

"Um, Kagome?" Her brown eyes suddenly locked onto his golden orbs.

'They are so beautiful,' she thought to herself.

"You don't have to ask, the answer is yes, I'll be your mate." Now, if he was expecting an answer, that wasn't it. He almost fell backward, his head was spinning, this had to be a dream, and it was too good to be true!

"You. you will?" he stammered.

"Yes." She said, smiling. Several things happened in rapid succession after that.

"Well, ya gonna kiss her or not?" Came the gruff voice of Shippo's grandpa from behind them, followed swiftly by Naja growling "Cali!" a sharp *WHAP!*.

"Ow! Sorry!" Cali replied softly. Then a huffy "You'd better be!" Then silence as they awaited the fateful first kiss.

Looking into her eyes, Inu Yasha was overcome by a feeling of rightness. That this was what was supposed to happen was never a doubt in his mind. Everything blurred around him except for her beautiful face and the feeling of her thin shoulders beneath his palms. And as he leaned forward, blood rushed to his head in happiness, the feeling of her soft warm lips beneath his making the entire moment that much greater.

He slid his palms down her arms to rest upon her waist and her arms crept about his neck. Pulling her tightly against him, he slanted his lips over hers, deepening it, before pulling back dazedly, as a sharp noise continued to tickle his ear.

Looking over in annoyance, Inu Yasha was embarrassed to remember that they had an audience. And most defiantly an appreciative one, as the he realized that that noise that he had heard was the new pair's clapping. Both he and Kagome turned red.

Smiling and chuckling at the couple's discomfort, Cali looked down at his mate's dimpled face and Shippo's wide-eyed one.

"Naja! You let him WATCH." He began to take Shippo out if her arms. Naja allowed him to do so, but frowned.

"He has to learn sometime. Besides, it's not like their doing anything other than kissing." Naja stepped on tip-toe and kissed his nose. "Don't worry, dearest. You won't miss out on any fun." She said, a gleam in her eye, before she turned and went over to the pair to discuss the reason they were there in the first place.

This left Cali alone with Shippo, to perhaps discuss the time they were apart. Approaching Kagome, Naja asked Inu Yasha to please, if he would, go away.

"Why?" He asked annoyed in his usual pissy manner, he did not want to leave his new 'mate' alone, especially to some creepy demon strangers, somewhat rude ones at that.

"Because I said to." She turned her light brown eye on him, a look any male would stay away from. Turning her back on the hanyou, Inu just stared and gave a small whimper of protest.

Naja immediately whipped around, her normally smooth face contorted in a vicious snarl. Inu Yasha gave a yip, stumbled back a bit in surprise, and then quieted. Turning his back on her, he skulked away in submission to the older more experienced demon. Deciding it wasn't a good idea to fuck with them, he didn't push his luck. With Inu Yasha back in line, Naja turned back to Kagome with a small frown on her face, sympathy radiating from her.

"Dear," she began, placing her clawed hands upon the much shorter human, "Congratulations! But you know in your heart that he will outlive you, and he will be left behind with the hurt and loss of his mate." At this Kagome looked up, a pained look in her eyes, and a tear escaping from it.

"I've learned to live with it, but the time we spend together will be happy." her voice broke, and another tear leaked from her eye.

At this Naja lowered her voice, saying "worry not, child. You won't die and leave him alone for hundreds of years, not if I can help it, anyway." Kagome's eyes stop watering, her heart suddenly filled to the brim with hope.

"What do you mean?" she asked, if she meant what she thought she did...

"Here, drink this!" the demon said excitedly, as she took out a flask of dark red fluid, which strangely reminded Kagome of.

"Blood?" she was shocked, if this meant she had to drink someone's blood...

"Yes, but this is special blood! Dog demon blood! This is used to change humans into Inu hanyou! The effects are permanent and there are no side effects, well, if you don't count physical changes as "side effects..." These words sent Kagome's mind racing, 'if this worked, then Inu Yasha and I would be equal, a balanced couple, I could feed myself, fend for myself, and not be such a burden on Inu Yasha. Instead of getting bashed around, I'd be the one doing the bashing from now on, or at least have a fighting chance!'

She gave her an inquisitive stare, "why me?"

Naja chuckled, "Hun, you think we wouldn't repay you for taking care of our only grandson, do you? Well, you're being silly, of course we'll repay you, and this is it, with taking on the life of a hanyou with your mate"

In the midst of this discussion, Cali walked over to Inuyasha, with a slight smirk on his face. He stood a foot away from Inuyasha and, standing up straight, looking the younger demon in the eye, spoke, "I believe I could be of assistance to what your new mate seeks, it will be a bit better than her method."

he leaned up right next to his ear and whispered "she's a wee bit touched in the head, but I don't mind."

Just as he finished, Naja looked over her shoulder and said in a voice so low only demons could hear, "uh huh, happy, content and crazeh!" Cali looked over to his mate and smiled. She smiled back, then turned back to Kagome to continue her conversation, Cali turned back to find Inuyasha slightly farther away from him than before.

"Here" he said, thrusting his hand within his upper kimono, drawing out a pink glass shard of the shikon jewel. Inuyasha gasped, as Kagome froze suddenly, "Inuyasha! I sense a." "I know Kagome, Cali has it." The dog demon replied to the concerned miko. At the mention of Cali having a jewel shard, Kagome rushed past Naja, whose sanity she was beginning to doubt.

***

"Success!" Naja and Cali cried in unison as the limp form of Kagome hit the ground.

(Coming soon, please move on)

Looking upon the now transformed Kagome, Naja smiled. The happiness that radiated from the young miko was contagious. Inu rushed to Kagome, alarmed at the sudden change in smell that he picked up from where he was, just outside of the clearing. However, when he finally caught sight of her, he stopped, mouth opening and closing, eyes widening.

"Ka. Kagome?!" He stuttered, one clawed hand reaching out slightly before falling back to his side. Kagome, excited and happy, stepped quickly towards him, her movements quicker, more sure and graceful.

Throwing herself into his arms, Inu stumbled back a little at her sudden strength. His arms wrapped automatically around her, sheltering her from sight with his sleeves. Natural for both, they fit each other perfectly, her face nestled in the crook of his neck. Inu's clawed hand reached up to stroke her head, and to trail his fingers through her locks. Hand impeded by her newly appeared fuzzy ears, he took a moment to stroke them lightly, and felt more than heard a purr escape Kagome.

Kagome pulled back a bit, and Inu's hand fell back to his side. Amazement was quite prominent in her face.

"That felt.nice." She said simply, looking up at him. Inu grinned.

***

Turning to her mate and Shippo, Naja smiled down at them both.

"Come dears," she whispered. "We've outstayed out welcome. We don't want to impede the progress of this young couple."

"But Grandma, all they they're doing is--"

"Shhh! Shoo!" Naja cut him off.

Shippo sighed, and scampered a distance away, before looking back, in wait for his once again found family. He didn't want to lose sight of them so soon after he had gotten the back again. He was so lucky! He had family again, even though he had the group it just wasn't the same as blood kin.

Naja's attention, now that Shippo was safely away, moved over to her mate.

"Impede progress eh? I love how you word things." He glanced over at the new couple, just beginning to discover each other.

Naja smiled softly at the sight. "Reminds me of old times." She said softly under her breath.

Cali gave her a lech look and a slightly perverted grin."Old times.. Let's add to those times hmmm?" Taking her hand in his both turned contentedly away from the couple.

"Sure honey," she replied, kissing him on the nose once again, giving it a small nip as she pulled away.

Cali grinned in anticipation. "Just as soon as visit the rest of the group, get situated, bathe our grandson, and catch enough game to feed what will be two very famished hanyous, There young human friends and three demons." Cali's grin deflated a bit as he began to realize something.

"It's. my turn. to hunt. isn't it?" He cringed. Naja grinned wickedly at him.

"Yep." Walking quickly away, she left him with a wave. "Don't be too long dear."

Cali just stood there for a second, before rushing after her. "Honey!
WAIT!"

***

"That felt..nice." Inu Yasha grinned down at her, taking a step towards her, bringing them to touching.

"Yeah, I like it, too." His hand came back up. To the side of her face, the pad of his thumb stroking her cheek. Kagome smiled softly, revealing the tips of two fangs peeping out. Eyes closing at the feeling of his rough thumb upon her skin, her hand lifted to rest lightly on his.

Inu Yasha gazed his fill of the expression on her face, and the newness of her look. Still herself but more like him. Though her tresses were the same length as before, the strands seemed to have thickened. Become wild as if the demonic blood now within her gave her mane a life of its own.

Her nails had sharpened into claws, almost white in their thickness. They glinted in the dappled sunlight, shiny with the clear nail polish she had applied but that morning. Otherwise.She was the same as before. Uniform and all, looking slightly odd on what to all intents and purposes was a hanyou.

And now. Now this girl was his. And he was hers. Feeling as if everything were coming together, he leaned forward wanting to taste her again, feel her lips beneath his. Once was just not enough...and he had the feeling it never would be.

***

She couldn't believe her good luck. This was she, Kagome, standing before the dog hanyou, Inu Yasha. And she was now a hanyou herself.

No more school. No more tests, then she practically gasped, 'No KIKYO.' No growing old while Inu Yasha looked on in despair and probably some disgust.

A moment of sadness overcame her, and a tear gathered in the corner of her eye. Her family. Inu's lips brushed against hers in her moment of inattention, startling her pleasantly from her thoughts.

The kiss ended as it had begun. A light brushing of lips before Inu Yasha leaned back to view her again wonderment taking over his mind as he finally absorbed what had taken place. Once more pulling her tightly against him, her head tucked under his chin, he looked into the forest he had lived in so long, and felt, finally, at peace.

"Inu. Yasha." Kagome sighed the name.

Inu Yasha's ears flickered at the sound. Kagome's hand moved naturally from her side up his chest, where it stopped to rub light circles against the cloth of his haori. Inu felt warmth flood through his limbs at her motions. Purring a bit, his eyes closed briefly.

"Hmmm..?"

"Inu Yasha... Aren't we, umm.Supposed to do more?" Kagome's face reddened at the question slightly and she buried her face in his haori. Inu Yasha went still.

Slowly, as if to someone he did not want to run away, he asked quietly, "Are you ready? DO you want to? I won't make you do anything you don't want to do."

What anxiety she may have had disappeared with his soft words of assurance. "I want to Inu Yasha. I don't want to hold anything back from you." She hugged him closer still, as if to signify that the closeness she still had yet to be.

"Ashiteru Kagome." Inu Yasha said, holding her just as close.

Tingles went through Kagome at the words. Time passed like this for short or long time. They didn't know their attention on the other and the felling of being in each other's arms. Something they had both wished for oh so very long. But contentment at just that soon grew into the need to touch and feel.

Kagome's circling hand slid into his haori, bringing her slender fingers closer to the warmth of his skin. Inu's hands slid up from where they were wrapped around her waist, to slide up and down her back. Sometimes slowing and stopping at her waist and rubbing lightly at her sides.

Kissing the crown of her raven head, and blowing lightly on the little hairs within her ears, he trailed his mouth softly over her forehead. She shuddered at the feel of his breath in her ears, and they flickered before pressing against the hair of her head out of reaction. Smiling, Inu leaned back to kiss her fluttering eyelids closed, before paying attention to her lips once more.

Kagome made an unconscious noise deep in her throat at the feel of him against her. A low purr emanating from Inu Yasha was the response, as he pulled at the cloth of her uniform top, loosening it from her skirt, and sliding his hands it, felling her soft skin against his palms. His tongue slid out slowly, exploring, across her closed mouth, the tip tracing the edge of her lips. Kagome inhaled, her mouth opening slightly at the sudden wave of heat that went through her.

Inu took advantage, sliding his wandering tongue between her lips and against her teeth, making sure not to press against her newly acquired fangs. Kagome leaned into it, her own tongue shyly reaching out to his, her hand sliding down and opening his haori wider, the palm of her hand pressing against his muscled stomach.

Inu's own slid up to cup her face as he delved more deeply, tasting her mouth, before pulling out and panting and brushing up against her lips again and again. He let the pad of his thumbs rub the base of her ears. His reward was her purr of pleasure. Kagome left his lips to kiss his chin, before the urge to lick came upon her. Letting her tongue slide along his jawline as her hands slid below his shirt where it met at his chest.

Inu shuddered at the feel of her wet tongue on his skin and leaned into it. Licking her lips, she pressed them damply against his neck. Panting, Inu ran his fingers up to her ears, rubbing and stroking them as heat worked within him.

From her flushed face and half lidded eyes, he knew she was just as affected as he was. Kagome's lips moved down slowly, bathing his skin with her tongue at times. The wetness cooling as her breath passed over it.

Impeded by his haori, Kagome made a noise of impatience. The hand that had been massaging his stomach curled around the hem of his shirt and began tugging it up.

Knowing what she wanted, and wanting it as well, Inu stepped back and let his fire-rat kimono fall to the ground before unwrapping his undershirt and letting it fall to the ground as well.

Kagome watched in avid fascination. The time for embarrassment had passed along with the stolen glances at his profile when he was looking away.

***

To Cali's relief, Naja helped him with the hunting. Leaving Shippo with Keade and Sango, after, of course, they explained who they were. (They almost had to dodge Sango's Hiriakotsu, but as she raised it, ready to fling at them, they hastily explained their relationship to the small kit.) They talked about how things were, about how the gang had defeated Naraku, and how the couple had spent their years in solitude.

After dinner, Cali crept up behind his mate, and whispered in her cocked ear, "Naja, I have something very special to show you." He drew back as Naja turned to see him wearing his usual slightly lecherous smile.

"What are you up to?" the female fox said, turning her head and looking him over with a slightly untrusting eye, a purr unsuccessfully suppressed.

He raised his paw, putting a claw under her chin and scratching softly with it, "you'll just have to find out, now won't you?" he said, his voice going slightly husky as she continued to let out the very soft purring noise increasing as she began to loosen up and let her feelings take over her misgivings. He began to walk backwards, still holding her captive with his scratching claw.

*** Inuyasha watched these actions from the God tree's upper branches. He gave a sniff, "Feh. He actually knows what he's doing." He watched in fascination as the forms of Cali and Naja disappeared beyond the tree line, and he could have sworn he saw Cali look over at him and wink.

*** He continued to lead her through the trees of Inu Yasha's Forest, as a certain scent was getting stronger. "If this works, this is going to be one wonderful evening for us!"

Naja's nose caught a very familiar scent as her eyes widened, 'he's aroused!' Naja's grin was widening into a devilish smirk at the very thought of what they were going to be doing tonight. They hadn't mated in several days; they had been traveling night and day for four straight days, following their grandson's trail.

"Where are you taking me, Cali?" The demoness said, her voice also going husky as a small spring was coming into view behind Cali's back. "Don't you remember, Naja? Think now!" Cali's face fell at her not recognizing the place he had brought them to, and ceased his scratching.

"Well, I might be able to think straight if you would keep your hormones in check for a minute!" she sulked as she started to look around the clearing, thinking hard. After a few seconds her eyes widened to the size of dinner plates.

"Oh! Cali! You actually found it! All by yourself?" Cali looked as if his dreams had come to fruition,

"Yep, I just had to follow my nose, how could I forget the scent of this place? This place so very special to us? Naja, you remember what we did here, right?" he asked, looking right into her light brown eyes with his piercing bright green ones.

"How could I forget, Cali, this is where we had our first time together." Looking back to him to confirm this story, Cali nodded.

"That's right Naja, and what was I doing beforehand, hmm?" He questioned, a mischievous smile crossing his lips.

Naja giggled, "You were spying on me bathing, you pervert!"

His smile widened, "I remember watching you, Naja. It was like watching a goddess, the water trickling down your front, your nipples pert with the cold."

Her face reddened, "Cali! It was cold during that spring, you know that!"

Cali was grinning ear to ear by the time he spoke next, "Well, I seemed to had cleared that problem up that spring night, now didn't I?" Naja grinned back,

"You most certainly did." As she trailed off, she began to wrap her arms around his waist, as he put his paws on her shoulders, rubbing softly.

"Ashiteru Cali", she whispered as her lips approached his.

"Ashiteru Naja" he replied huskily, seizing her lips with his. She gave a moan, which he echoed as his paws began to explore the familiar territory, the pads of his paws creating a delicious friction with her skin. Her hands began to move as well, a little lower, and into the front of his pants. Her mate gave a jolt as and shook slightly as she caressed him where he needed her most.

"You're hard for me aren't you Cali?" He nodded, distracted and flushed, as her fingers and hand ran glidingly up and down his length.

He swallowed as his eyes fluttered shut. "Always for my mate, my one, my other half...You." His eyes opened once again, intense and brimming over with emotion for the love of his life in every line of his face, as his hips pushed himself up harder against her hand. Naja melted against him, holding him closer still to her, though he would always be within her heart, the closest place of all...

Movements stilled, warmth enveloped them, slowing their breathing and heartbeats. Silence seemed to gather around them, and in that silence, both could hear their hearts. Resounding as one, beating in time together, as they were, always together.

Cali gave her neck a tiny nip, "care for a dip, Naja?" Naja looked slightly concerned. "Don't worry dear, I already told Shippo that we won't be back tonight, were um.... keeping watch."

She gave a small laugh and began, he voice laced with a chuckle, "in a spring a couple of miles away?"

Cali always loved how she would make him work to get what he wanted from her. "1 mile is not very far. Anyway, Inuyasha has proven himself more than a match for any demon that's come his way,"

Naja gave a small grin; he wasn't going to get his was that easily. "But HE is busy too" she protested. Cali sighed, and responded.

"Don't worry, hun, anyway, Inu Yasha will catch our scent and he'll play it cool, and Shippo knows what it means to make love now, Inuyasha and Kagome's scents are all over the place by now. He'll know what it means."

Naja gave a small laugh as Cali continued. "That pup has been holding himself back for a long time Naja."

He gave her neck another nibble, "c'mon, dear. One dip wouldn't hurt. Anyway, did we not rut our first time in this same spring?"

Naja gave another laugh, "persistent, are we? Well, I guess one wouldn't hurt."

Cali's eyes brightened as he maneuvered behind her and moved one strap of Naja's shirt off of her shoulder with a claw, "oh, and by the way, happy anniversary!" he said as he lowered his mouth to her slender neck and began to torture it; licking, nipping and kissing up and down the soft flesh of his lover.

She sighed and leaned her head sideways to give him better access. His paws then wrapped around her waist and began to explore her body, with just as much enthusiasm as their first time, 75 years ago. His paws cupped her breasts through her shirt, one claw moving higher stroking up and down the nipple very softly, as she let loose moan of pleasure, to which Cali gave an energetic growl in reply.

"Do you want me to help you with those clothes, dear?" Cali whispered as his mouth moved up and began to kiss and suck on her earlobe, flicking his tongue over it. He could feel her trembling in his arms as his hips made a small thrust into her back.

"I think ill take care of them myself, thanks." Replied Naja in another hoarse whisper, as she broke from Cali's grip, and turned to face him. Reaching her own hands down her sides, she grabbed the hem of her form- fitting shirt and pulled it up over her head, exposing her well-sized breasts to him, making them bounce a few times, now free of their confinement. Immediately Cali ran and tackled her playfully, kissing the newly exposed flesh below him, her shoulders and the valley between her breasts.

Naja put up a bit of a fight, "CALI!" was about all the resistance she could muster before she stopped and realized what he was going to do, which made her emit another moan of excitement. 'I love it when he plays with. mmmmmm.' Naja thoughts turned to mush as she watched her mate lower his mouth to her pert nipple. At the first suck, her hands moved down to his shoulders instantly, "Cali." she whispered dreamily.

He popped the nipple out of his mouth and looked up at her, "Yes?" he replied, smirking, so his fangs were prominent.

"Care for a dip?" She replied, smiling wickedly.

***

Hours later, darkness had fallen over the two lovers in the hot springs, the quarter moon right above them, as the stars twinkled benevolently. Cali and Naja were locked in a lover's embrace, Cali above her, his hips moving at a slowly increasing rhythm as Naja's head thrashed from side to side.

"Oh Cali. yes!" she whispered, looking up into his eyes as her hips began to meet his thrusts. The ripples coming from them hitting the edge of the hot springs in shorter and shorter intervals, and getting higher every minute.

"Do you like that, Naja? Do you like how I make love to you? How I mate with you?" Cali questioned as he began to thrust as hard and fast as he could. "Cali!" she moaned, "Harder! Faster! Deeper please Cali!" It did not take long until Cali moved to her neck, where he had marked her 75 years ago, and bit down hard. This sent Naja over the edge as she clamped down over his erection and cried his name to the night. After a few more hard thrusts, Cali found release, letting his seed pour inside his lover. After a few seconds, Cali's arms gave way, and slumped onto his mate's chest, covered in sweat, and panting heavily. Naja stroked a claw through his hair. "Mine." she whispered softly. Cali looked up and smiled. "Mine." he replied, as he lay his head on her bare chest, took in a deep waft of her scent, and closed his eyes, smiling.

***

This story presents love at its very beginning. New, exciting, and happy. And yet, it is also treacherous. The couple has yet to pass the trials of life together. And life itself had changed for you have changed. You've opened your heart and mind to another, entrusting that one with all your thought and feelings.

Yet this story also presents love, not at its end, per se, but not in the middle either. Once past the start, love is endless, bringing the pair just closer together until the other is so known to you that scent, touch, and sight is not needed to FEEL them with you.
