The Prophecy

 

Chapter 9

 

It had been about a week since Kagome's conversation with Rin about popping her cherry. She had noticed that Inuyasha was acting a little odd, brushing against her just right for her arousal to spike. She hopped that he hadn't found out about what the conversation she had with Rin was about, though he hadn't given any indication that he did. Still, she wasn't sure how much more of his `innocent' touches she could handle before jumping his bones.

 

She had been spending every night with him in his rooms, cuddling and sharing the occasional steamy kiss. What she enjoyed most though, was being able to rub his ears. This night though, she had taken to sleeping in her own room, knowing that if she did share his bed she wouldn't just be sleeping. Although, unbeknownst to her, she would run into her court in the place that they both least expected.

 

“Out for a late night soak again, Bitch?” Inuyasha asked as he watched Kagome close the bathhouse door, her back to him. She jumped and spun around to face him, her eyes wide. He stared at her form, hidden by the long tunic that she wore, her damp hair creating wet spots on the off-white material, allowing him a little glimpse of the tops of her breasts.

 

She let out a breath at the sight of her court. “You scared me, Inuyasha,” she sighed in relief. “What are you doing out here?”

 

“Looking for you,” he answered, walking towards her, his eyes alight with hunger.

 

“Why were you looking for me?” she asked hesitantly, backing up into the closed bathroom door and silently warring with herself on whether or not the closed door was a good thing or bad.

 

“Well, I was gunna bring you back to my room for the night and was making my way towards your room, but now you're here and have saved me the trip,” Inuyasha murmured as he stepped up to her, placing his hands on either side of her head on the wooden door. Inuyasha mentally thanked the wolf for getting the whole story out of his mate as to what `popping your cherry' meant. He had been biding his time, intentionally driving his intended insane with his seemingly `innocent' touches until the right time.

 

“Oh…well…” Kagome mumbled her brain jumbled from his close proximity.

 

“Were you avoiding me, Kah-goh-meh?” he asked, instantly smelling her arousal.

 

“N-no,” she stuttered, his eyes hypnotizing her.

 

“Are you sure?” he asked, his lips ghosting over hers.

 

“Y-yes,” she groaned. He flicked his tongue out and licked the seam of her lips, making her gasp. He took advantage of her gasp and thrust his tongue into her mouth, crashing his lips against hers. Her scent spiked again, giving him a heady sensation. He crushed his body against hers, pushing her back into the bathhouse door. His hands moved into her hair to tilt her head for better access to her sweet cavern as his knee pushed between her legs to rest against her swollen heat.

 

Kagome groaned at the feel of his hard body pressed so tightly up against hers. Her hands tangled into his tresses and brushed up against the bases of his ears. He moaned and twitched his pelvis into hers. She gasped and leaned back away from the kiss, resting her head back against the door.

 

Inuyasha saw her bare her throat and he flared his nostrils, some red seeping into the edges of his eyes. He brushed his nose against her exposed neck and took a deep breath, breathing in her magnificent scent. He moved his lips to her throat, giving the skin there a soft kiss before flicking his tongue out to taste it.

 

Kagome's knees buckled and if it weren't for his body pressed up against hers, she would have fallen. It was a euphoric feeling, she decided, her mind cloudy from the feeling.

 

Inuyasha smelt her scent spike again and he growled low in his chest, loving the wonderfully mind numbing scent. He trailed his lips to the pulse point under her jaw and laved it with his tongue. He sucked, nipped, and licked her neck and the parts of her shoulder that weren't covered by her tunic.

 

Kagome lifted her leg and hooked it over his hip, drawing him closer to her panty covered heat. Inuyasha trailed his hands down from her neck, lightly scraping her sides with his claws, causing her breath to hitch in her throat and her body to quiver, before he stopped at the hem of her shirt. He ran his claws against the skin of her thighs and trailed them upward, under the hem of her tunic to rest on her bottom. He quickly shredded her underwear and pulled it from her, forcing a gasp from her. She gave him a reproachful glare as he grinned and brought the scrap of cloth to his nose, breathing in her aroused scent. The cloth seemed to have muffled the scent because it was much greater now.

 

He stuck the cloth in his pocket and attacked her lips with his own, nibbling and sucking on her lower lip. She groaned at the passion of his kiss and kissed him back with equal intensity. He moved his hands back under her tunic and rested them on her, now, bare bottom. He picked her up and wrapped her legs around her waist, bringing her wet heat in contact with his covered manhood.

 

Kagome ground against him, eliciting a growl of pleasure from him. Kagome trailed her lips from his and across his cheek. She tilted his head down and softly licked his left ear. A nearly violent shiver wracked his frame and he had to bite back a howl of pleasure.

 

Inuyasha opened his eyes, unaware of when he'd closed them, and immediately saw her tunic covered breasts. His mind processed things slowly with the pleasure running down his spine, so his inner demon helped him a long a little by shouting at him, `Ears equal breasts!' He blinked and leaned forward, brushing the tip of his nose against the swell of her left breast, his mouth hovering slightly open over her nipple.

 

Kagome shivered at the feeling of his hot breath on her covered chest, but didn't let up on her ministrations of his ear. She nipped his ear, causing him to thrust his hips almost violently against hers. He leaned closer to her breast, making small motions with his hips, and brushed a fang against her hardened nipple. She gasped loudly and let go of his ear, holding his head to her chest with both hands. He covered her breast with his mouth and sucked, palming the other with his left hand.

 

Kagome gasped when she felt his right hand wander between her spread legs and brush up against her bunch of black curls. He pressed against the nub above her entrance and slipped a finger inside, ever mindful of his claws. Kagome shuddered and arched her back, resting her head back against the bathhouse door.

 

Inuyasha thrust his finger in and out of her, soon adding a second and a third, stretching her and making her moan loudly. He crushed his lips against hers, silencing her moans and swallowing her near scream of completion. He withdrew his fingers from her and pulled away from the kiss, allowing her time to breathe. Kagome slumped against him, thoroughly exhausted and throbbing. Inuyasha effortlessly lifted her away from the door and headed back towards his rooms.

 

Kagome rubbed her face against his neck as he walked them down the hall, a hum of contentment coming from her chest, causing a low rumble to bubble up from his chest. He supported her easily with one hand as he opened the door and stepped through it. Reclaiming her, he kicked the door closed quietly, and made his way over to his bed.

 

Laying them both down on the red sheets, he kissed her thoroughly as he pulled her shirt higher up on her chest. They broke the kiss to pull it off, revealing her naked form to his gaze.

 

Flushing in embarrassment, Kagome moved to cover herself, but was stopped as his hands grasped her wrists and gently held them to the bed on either side of her head. “Don't,” he whispered, gazing down into her blue orbs. “You're beautiful.” Kagome smiled, the blush dimming but not leaving.

 

Inuyasha kissed her jaw before moving down the side of her neck to her shoulder. Moving down lower, he took one of her exposed breasts into his mouth and sucked like a new born pup.

 

Kagome moaned and arched her back off of the bed, offering more of her body to him, and grinding her pelvis into his, her legs forcing them closer together. Inuyasha switched breasts and gave the other the same treatment before moving back up to her lips and claiming them with his own.

 

He let go of her hands and sat back on his knees before throwing off his own tunic. Leaning back over her, he rested his weight on his elbows, her hardened nipples brushing against his chest with every breath that she took.

 

“Kagome?” he asked quietly. She opened her eyes, unsure of when she had closed them and looked at him with lust, desire, and love. “Will you be my mate?” She smiled and nodded, her hands moving up to tease his ears. He groaned but managed to continue, “I don't know what'll happen if we find a way to send you home, but I do know that I won't be able to give you up.”

 

“I don't think I'll be able to give you up either, Inu,” she said breathlessly.

 

“When we mate, I'm going to have to mark you by biting you,” he said, tracing her clavicle with a gentle claw.

 

“Can I mark you too?” she asked thoughtfully.

 

He chuckled and nodded before telling her more, “The mark will tie our souls together, slowing your aging down to mine and keeping our souls together even in our next lives.”

 

Kagome smiled happily and whispered, “I'm glad. I was dreading that you would one day wake to find an old woman next to you when you wanted a young one.”

 

He frowned and silenced her with a fierce kiss. “Never,” he whispered against them before kissing her passionately, thoroughly wiping her mind of such thoughts.

 

Kagome groaned and trailed her hands down from his ears, a whine breaking free form her love's throat as she continued to trail them down his chest. She scraped her nails along his muscles and tweaked a nipple, causing a jolt to go through his body and to his groin. She trailed them down to the muscles of his abdomen to finger the coarse white hairs that made a trail from his bellybutton to the top of his breeches. She quickly untied his pants and pushed them off of his hips.

 

Inuyasha quickly shimmied out of them and kicked them off the bed before settling back between her legs. Kagome gasped at the feeling of him resting on her inner thigh. `Oh my, he's big,' she thought as her groin throbbed in anticipation.

 

He positioned himself at her entrance and leaned down to whisper into her ear, “This'll hurt, I'm sorry.” She nodded and he gave her cheek a quick swipe of his tongue before thrusting into her with one thrust, breaking her virgin barrier in one fell swoop. Kagome stiffened at the intrusion and slight pain, but found it quite bearable. She shifted her hips against his and they both groaned at the motion.

 

Their motions were awkward and slow, clearly showing their inexperience, but they soon found each other's rhythm and pattern and quickened their pace. It didn't last quite as long as they would have liked, both reaching completion much too soon, but it didn't stop them from consummating their mating many, many times, in many, many different positions before they finally exhausted themselves into a contented sleep a couple of hours before dawn.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

 

Kagome woke up late the next morning slightly disoriented and sore, but very comfortable and warm. She felt a solid mass behind her and across her stomach. Opening her eyes curiously, she looked down to see a bare arm across her naked form. `Oh yeah,' she thought, smiling and snuggling back into the solid mass that was her still slumbering mate.

 

The arm tightened around her as a contented growl rumbled through his chest, signaling his awakening. He rubbed the tip of his nose against her shoulder before licking the bite mark that made her his.

 

Kagome giggled and said, “Good morning to you too.”

 

“It is a good morning, isn't it?” Inuyasha asked wiggling his hips a bit to remind her that he was still sheathed deep within her.

 

Kagome bit her lip and groaned, her hips following his in an involuntary motion. She propped her leg up to open herself up more to him. Inuyasha assisted her with a hand on her inner thigh, holding her open as he continued his motions. Their mating was slow and lazy, unlike the previous night, and they climaxed together, the pressure an unbearably sweet pleasure.

 

They lay there cuddling, Kagome having turned around to kiss the bite mark that she had left on his shoulder. Inuyasha had been pleasantly surprised when she'd bitten down on his shoulder as they climaxed during their first mating, breaking his skin and leaving her mark and scent behind and completing her part of their bond.

 

Their contented silence was broken, however, by the quiet complaining of Kagome's stomach. Inuyasha chuckled at her flushed face, silently pleased with himself and grinning with male pride. Kagome huffed and pulled away from him, getting up out of the bed, and grabbing his red tunic that had been discarded next to the bed on the floor. She found her breast band and wrapped it around her breasts before she quickly pulled on her mate's tunic. She found her breeches on the floor, having been unaware that they'd made it back to his room with them.

 

Inuyasha had to admit, as he watched her pull his shirt on, that she looked quite scrumptious in his tunic, the red making her skin look rosier. He got up and pulled her to him, kissing her soundly before letting her go to pull on his breeches.

 

They continued to dress, Kagome keeping his tunic and Inuyasha retrieving a new cream tunic, before heading out of the Prince's rooms and to the mess hall.

 

Their friends were already there, and they quickly made their way over to them, ignoring the knowing glances from the demonic soldiers and servants, who could smell the difference in the couple and spiritually powerful people, who could see their combined aura, as they passed. They sat down next to each other, the demons at the table staring at them knowingly.

 

“This Sesshomaru sees that congratulations are in order,” the King stated. Kagome and her friends looked at the King in confusion.

 

“Congratulations?” Kagome questioned.

 

“On our mating,” Inuyasha said with a grin.

 

Miroku, who'd seen their combined auras, gaped. “I never thought I'd see the day that the infamous, bad tempered Prince took a mate. Before me even!” he complained. Sango smacked him in the back of the head and a faint mutter of `letch' was heard.  Miroku turned towards the warrior and asked her in all seriousness, "My lovely Sango, could I have the honor of creating a son with you?"  Sango's face flushed before she sent her hand out and smacked the monk out of consciousness.

 

They continued eating, but the tranquil and happy scene of the mess hall was interrupted by the double doors bursting open to bang against the wall and a wounded and dirty demon soldier tumbling through. Inuyasha and Kouga jumped up and dashed to him, their mates not far behind.

 

“Hiro, what happened?” Inuyasha asked, supporting the wounded demon.

 

Hiro gasped from exertion and replied in a cracking and winded voice, “E-Eastern army, hundreds of th-thousands of…of things…not demons or humans…not anything that I'd ever seen before…the forts gone…half the army's gone…lots wounded…they're coming this way!”

 

Inuyasha and Kouga looked at each other before looking up at the head table to Sesshomaru, the hall devoid of any chatter. The King nodded before standing up, directing their group to follow him out of the hall.

 

“Inuyasha,” the voice of his mate drew his attention away from his brother and back to the situation at hand. “He needs medical attention. I can stop the bleeding and put him to sleep, but I can't do anything more without purifying him and causing him more damage.” Inuyasha nodded and watched the faint pink glow of her powers surround her hands and watched her touch the demon's forehead. He had to hold back a growl at the contact, knowing that she was only healing him. He saw the blood flow stop and then the demon's eyes droop before closing all the way in sleep.

 

Inuyasha instructed Kouga and Ayame to follow his brother before he picked up the sleeping demon and started to carry him towards the medical wing. Kagome followed after him, concerned about what had happened. Inuyasha dropped him off with strict instructions that once he was well and awake to retrieve him and his brother.

 

Inuyasha quickly walked down the hall, heading towards his brother's study. Kagome had to practically jog to keep up with him.

 

“What's going to happen, Inuyasha?” she asked her mate with concern in her voice.

 

“The Eastern Army is on the move. We'll have to mobilize and stop them from entering the castle grounds,” Inuyasha explained as he neared the door, noting that no sound came from within. He pushed the door open to see everyone sitting somberly around on the chairs and couches. Sesshomaru sat behind his desk, hands clasped with his fingers lace in front of him, his elbows resting on the desk, an angry look on his usually expressionless face. “The army sounds as though it's about a couple weeks away,” he said, sitting down on a couch and pulling Kagome onto his lap.

 

Sesshomaru nodded and spoke, “We will have to mobilize. They're obviously trying to put an end to this war as quickly as possible.” He pulled out a map of the Western lands and looked at it. “The fort that they attacked was this one, about a days ride into the Western lands. We will ready this fort,” he said, pointing to another, “and stop them from advancing.

 

“Do you mean to come with us?” Miroku asked the King curiously.

 

“Yes, this Sesshomaru feels that it would be beneficial,” the King answered. “Naraku will most likely be drawn out by this Sesshomaru's presence.”

 

“When will we be leaving?” Kagome asked curiously.

 

“'We?'” Inuyasha growled. “Bitch, you are staying here.”

 

“What?!” Kagome shrieked, causing the demons in the room to flinch and her mate to flatten his ears against his head at the level of her scream. “What do you mean I'm not going?”

 

“Just what I said, Bitch, you're not going! It's dangerous and I will not have my mate in danger when I can easily protect her!” Inuyasha growled at her.

 

“You won't be able to protect me if you're not around me!” Kagome yelled, ignoring their amused audience. Miroku and Sango sat watching the couple, betting on who would win. Sango was rooting for Kagome and Miroku for Inuyasha.

 

“There is no fucking way that I am just going to stand back while there is a fucking war going on and when I am clearly one of the deciding factors of that godsdamned fucking war!” Kagome continued, grabbing a hold of her mate's hair to pull his face down towards hers so that she could glare at him in the eyes. Everyone stared at the seemingly meek and sweet tempered priestess as she cursed like a drunken sailor.

 

Inuyasha glared right back at her, her stubborn expression not lost to him. He sighed and closed his eyes, resting his forehead against hers. “There's no way that I can convince you to stay here?” he asked, opening his eyes to stare into her blue ones.

 

Kagome grinned and shook her head. “Even if you forced me to stay, I'd just sneak out and follow you anywhere you went,” she whispered to him. He sighed and pulled her closer to him, burying his nose into her hair.

 

“Alright, but you will not leave my side at any point in time while we're out there, do you understand?” he rumbled into her ear.

 

“Why would I want to leave your side?” she asked, snuggling into his chest.

 

“Aw, isn't that sweet?” Rin asked teasingly.

 

“Shut up,” Kagome growled at her.

 

“Ha, told ya so monk,” Sango stated smugly, crossing her arms over her chest and leaning back in her chair.

 

Miroku sighed and handed over his leather bag of money. “I concede. Parting is such sweet sorrow,” he said forlornly, looking at the bag one last time before Sango tucked it into her pocket.

 

“You two bet on us?” Kagome asked her eyes wide.

 

“Betting on you is always entertaining, Kagome!” Sango cheered.

 

“May we,” Sesshomaru spoke, drawing every one's attention back to him, “get back on track?”

 

Kagome and Inuyasha blushed, knowing that they'd been the distraction. “So, when do we leave?” Kagome asked again.

 

“Three days,” the King answered. “That'll give us enough time to ready our soldiers, send a runner and gather supplies.”

 

The group nodded and dispersed; Kouga and Ayame leaving to ready the troops and gather supplies, Sango and Rin heading back to their rooms to pack their things and then to see if they could help with supplies, and Kagome and Inuyasha heading back to his room to pack their own things.

 

Only Sesshomaru and Miroku remained. Sesshomaru cleared his desk, rolling up the maps and notes that he'd need to take and setting out a travel writing kit.

 

Miroku turned towards his King with a questioning gaze. “How do you feel about the girls going with us?” he asked. “Personally, I'm concerned, but they do seem to be able to hold their own. Though, they don't seem to have been directly touched by war, I'd hate to see what would happen if something bad happened.”

 

“This Sesshomaru is unconcerned,” the King answered.

 

“Even for Rin?” The King remained silent, giving the monk all the answered that he needed. “If you asked her, I doubt she'd say no.” Though, both of them knew that the monk didn't speak of leaving her behind. Miroku turned and left the study to ready himself for the trip.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

 

The three days passed quickly for the group and at dawn on the third day, the group, along with five hundred soldiers and twenty commanders, headed out east, towards the fort that they would be making their base.

 

Sesshomaru led the procession with Inuyasha to his right and Miroku to his left. Kagome rode next to her mate on the inside of the procession along with her friends; Rin sat behind the King and Sango sat behind the monk. A group of soldiers, demons and humans both, were behind the women, offering extra protection. Kouga and Ayame were farther back, commanding their own twenty-five soldiers.

 

They ate their breakfast on the road and didn't stop until the sun was high overhead. The group congregated away from the river that they'd stopped at to eat their midday meal. Inuyasha pulled Kagome into his lap as he sat down and wrapped his arms around her waist, cuddling her to him.

 

“We're making good time,” he mumbled as he rested his chin on her shoulder, slicing a piece of cheese and bread and holding it up to his mate's mouth, who took it in appreciatively.

 

“That we are,” Miroku agreed, munching on a small block of cheese and a half a loaf of bread. “We should be there in about a week's time.”

 

“Good,” Sesshomaru said, “the sooner we get there, the more time we'll have to prepare.”

 

Their midday break was short; just long enough to eat their midday meal and to rest the horses. They continued on their way, Kagome sitting sideways on Inuyasha's lap, atop his white stallion, fast asleep, her own black mare tethered to the back of Inuyasha's saddle. He looked down at his mate and smiled, rubbing his face against hers. `She's so innocent and pure. What did I do to deserve her?' he asked himself. `I don't know what I did, but I will be eternally grateful.'

 

Their procession stopped again later that day, just as the sun was setting, to make camp. Kagome had woken earlier that day, safe, warm, and comfortable in her mate's arms. She sat by their packs, watching the soldiers make their camp, putting up their tents and setting out their pallets. She turned to see her mate do the same with their tent and pallet. She smiled at the one pallet, knowing that he would hold her all night, making sure that nothing could get to her, keeping her safe and warm.

 

Inuyasha turned and smirked at her before pouncing on her; she `eep'ed as he tossed her over his shoulder, and then turned to face an amused monk. “We'll be back later,” Inuyasha told him before bounding into the surrounding forest.

 

“Inuyasha! Put me down!” Kagome yelled, giggling and playfully pounding on his back.

 

“Nope,” he told her as he continued further into the forest, farther and farther away from the camp, well out of hearing range. He stopped in a clearing and set his mate down on her feet before stepping away from her.

 

Kagome looked up at him with curiosity, seeing the hunger in his eyes as he struggled internally with himself. It was getting closer to the full moon and was becoming more difficult for him to fight off his demon blood, especially around his mate. “Inuyasha?” she asked as she took a step towards him.

 

“Run, Kagome,” he growled, his bangs covering his eyes.

 

“What?” she asked perplexed.

 

“I can't hold off my demon for much longer, Kagome. It needs you, needs to run, to chase, to mate,” he growled again, lifting his red rimmed eyes up to hers. “Run, Kagome.”

 

She didn't need any more prodding as she took off into the forest. She heard Inuyasha let loose a tremendous howl, but didn't look back as she ran as fast as she could; dodging trees, roots, and bushes. She ran through the forest, shedding her tunic along the way. She came across a stream and followed through it for a while, trying to confuse his sense of smell. She exited the water on the other side of the bank and quickly discarded her dark brown breeches, a little treat for him if he did head in that direction. She continued through the forest, only dressed in her panties and breast band.

 

Inuyasha gave her a couple seconds head start before following after her, letting lose his demon. His eyes bled red and the deep violet stripes reappeared on his prominent cheekbones. He let out a howl, one that told other demons in the area that he was going to claim his mate. He took off after her, going slower over the branches of the trees than he normally would in this state, as his mate was only human. He found a creamy fabric on the forest floor and stopped to inspect it and noticed that it radiated his mate's scent. He held it up to his nose and picked up the faint smell of her arousal, further enticing him in their little game of cat and mouse. `Dog and cat,' the half demon turned full demon thought.

 

He growled and took off again, following her faint scent, only to stop short at a stream, where her scent disappeared. He growled with pride. His bitch was smart, but so was he. He looked up and down the stream before deciding to go downstream, as it seemed easier to maneuver and seemed like the more likely route she would have taken.

 

A while down the stream, he spotted her dark brown breeches, wet and dark from the water that they'd soaked up from the stream. Picking them up, he smelled them and his already painfully throbbing member became ten times worse. The scent of her arousal was much stronger on her pants than her shirt. Dropping them back to the ground, he took off again, following her distinct scent to a clearing where he found her breast band and panties. His eyes widened at the thought of his mate running around naked…for him…and no one else.

 

He bound off, no longer caring about his speed, only the thought of claiming his mate, making her cry out in pleasurable pain. He saw her naked form up ahead from his place up in the trees. Her creamy pale skin stood out against the darkness around them, her skin illuminated by the almost full moon. He moved in front of her and dropped down, startling her and causing her to plow right into his chest. He instantly wrapped his arms around her to keep her from falling and pressed her naked form hard against his, allowing her to feel his excitement. She gasped in surprise as she looked up at him, the scent of her arousal spiking.

 

His half demon mind recalled her saying something about her liking his striped, but the demon pushed it back, not really caring about anything but claiming his mate. He reluctantly let her go, quickly taking off his tunic and settling it on the ground before lowering her down on top of it. He quickly rid himself of the rest of his clothes and joined her on the forest floor, kissing, nipping, licking and sucking on her skin, leaving his scent behind.

 

Kagome moaned and let her hands roam over the muscles of his arms and back, reviling in the feel of his body against hers. He moved down her body, licking her naval and then moving to breathe against the skin just above her nest of curls. Kagome gasped and bucked, forcing him to hold her hips down with his hands.

 

He nosed her curls before flicking his tongue out to taste her. They both moaned and shuddered, Inuyasha just about came right then and there from her decadent taste. He continued to lick her, pressing down on the nub above her entrance before moving down to her entrance. He thrust his tongue into her as far as he could before pulling it back and thrusting it back in. Her legs clamped down on his head as she keened, keeping him in place as he continued to lick and taste her.

 

Kagome came with a vengeance, screaming out her completion in the form of his name at the top of her lungs. Her legs went slack and released his head. He moved back up her body, moving to kiss her passionately. He pulled back from the kiss, a whimper leaving her throat at the loss of contact, before he flipped her over onto her stomach and pulling her up onto her knees.

 

Kagome shivered in anticipation. She noted that her mate's inner demon seemed to like this position best; most likely because of instincts. They had only been mates for a short while, but his demon side had occasionally been set loose during their couplings.

 

Inuyasha entered her swiftly, his pace fast and unrelenting. He leaned over her back and reached around her to fondle her breast and play with the nub above her entrance, dragging a ragged moan from her.

 

She bucked back against him with equal ferocity, urging him to go faster. Not one to disappoint his mate, especially in matters such as this, Inuyasha sped up, slamming into her as fast as he could without hurting her. It didn't take long for her to reach completion again, yelling out and clamping down around him. Inuyasha growled and increased the speed of his thrusts, soon reaching completion with his mate. Spilling his seed into her, he clamped down on her mate mark with his elongated fangs, piercing the skin and sending another wave of pleasure through her body, adding to her already mind blowing orgasm. They yelled together in completion before slumping over and lying on the ground together, spooning, and basking in the after glow.

 

“Wow,” Kagome whispered, trying to catch her breath and calm her heart.

 

“Yeah,” Inuyasha agreed, his own breathing ragged as he returned to himself.

 

“Did you enjoy that?” Kagome asked, playing with the skin on the back of the hand that was draped over her stomach, smiling slyly.

 

“Immensely so,” he answered, chuckling. “Sneaky Bitch, teasing her mate.” They laughed together as they cuddled, not quite wanting to go back to camp just then.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------

 

Back at the camp, everyone turned towards the forest as a mighty howl broke through the tranquil night, causing the horses to shift nervously and birds to take off in frenzy. Sango and Rin looked at each other, both worried for the safety of their friend.

 

“What was that?” Rin asked the King, who she sat next to as they ate their dinner.

 

“That was Inuyasha. It seems as though he let his demon out and it wants to claim its mate,” the King explained.

 

The girls said an `oh' in understanding. A short while later, while everyone was eating dinner a distinct female yell was heard, startling even the King. The yell came back again later, quickly followed by a triumphant howl.

 

“Wow,” Sango commented, “I never knew that our Kagome had such strong lungs.”

“Sango!” Rin reprimanded, though she smiled and giggled with her friend.

 

“I think that this constitutes some teasing when they come back,” Sango said, smiling at the thought of mortifying her friend.

 

“You're so mean, Sango,” Rin laughed.

 

“Oh, like you're not going to help me?”

 

“I never said I wouldn't.”

 

They both laughed, small smiles appearing on the monk and King's faces at hearing such sweet sounds.

 

An hour later found Inuyasha walking back through the forest line, a contented Kagome snuggled against his back. Both wore smiles of happiness and contentment on their faces.

 

“Enjoy ourselves, did we?” Sango asked with a sly smile.

 

“Very much,” Kagome replied with a slight blush, turning her head away and burying it into her mate's silky hair.

 

“We know, we heard,” Rin said.

 

“You heard?” Kagome asked, her blush encompassing her whole face.

 

“You have quite a set of lungs, Lady Kagome,” Miroku added, joining in on the fun. “I'm surprised that Inuyasha is not deaf.”

 

“This Sesshomaru believes that he was howling too loud to be deafened by the priestess,” the King added, calmly sipping on his tea.

 

The couple's faces were quickly starting to resemble tomatoes with their redness. Kagome glared at her friends before smiling slyly at them from over Inuyasha's shoulder.

 

“Well, at least you know he's good,” she said, giggling. “Hey Inuyasha, let's get some dinner,” she directed at her mate. He blushed at her comment, but grinned nonetheless with pride and moved towards the group, bringing Kagome around in front of him and sitting down on the ground with her in his lap to feed her.

 

Sango and Rin looked appalled. “TMI, I really didn't need to think about that,” Sango said, rubbing her temples.

 

“Hey, you're the one that brought up the subject,” Kagome admonished. They continued to eat in a merry sort of atmosphere, soon to turn in for the night. Each went their own way, to their own pallet and tent. Kagome and Inuyasha, along with their friends, were in the middle of the camp, right next to Sesshomaru's tent, with plenty of protection around them.

 

They snuggled together under their furs and blankets, keeping each other warm on the slightly chilly night.
