The Road to Forever

 

-Chapter 11: Binding Souls-

 

Inuyasha gracefully bounded out of the well house, across the courtyard and up to Kagome's bedroom window. Once he peered inside, his heart sank.

 

The woman who would be the hanyou's mate was unconscious; her skin was ashen and the salt of her tears and perspiration permeated the room. The miko whimpered as he stroked her cheek but didn't open her eyes.

 

“Come on Kagome, we have to go, it's time. I'm so sorry I took so long, but you'll be better soon,” Inuyasha said so softy afraid that the tone of his voice might harm her more.

 

Kagome slowly opened her eyes. They looked so tired and full of pain. “Inu…yasha? I..I knew you'd come for me,” she choked out, wincing as another series of tearing pains shredded through her body.

 

Her intended brushed his lips against hers quickly before taking her in his arms. He was about to leap from the window when Mrs. Higurashi opened the bedroom door.

 

“Please be safe and bring her back to us. I can't stand to see her in so much pain,” the older woman pleaded to the half-demon. She took note of his appearance and smiled. He looked regal in his new wardrobe. “I'm so proud of both of you, you've grown so much.”

 

Inuyasha smiled then nodded. “I'll bring her back in a few days, I promise.” Before Kagome's mother could answer, her daughter and the hanyou had already left through the open window.

 

Upon exiting the time slip back into the Sengoku Jiidai, Inuyasha and Kagome were greeted by a very angry demon slayer, and ex-monk and a kitsune child.

 

“So were either of you EVER going to tell us what happened? Don't you think we could have helped? This is all your fault Inuyasha! Look at Kagome, she looks terrible!” Sango was red-faced with fury. If her best friend wasn't in the arms of the half-demon, he would be becoming well-acquainted with the business end of Hiraikotsu.

 

Inuyasha looked down at the woman in his arms. She was unconscious again. “Look Sango, we really don't have time for this. If you want to beat the shit outa me after Kagome's well again, I won't stop you. I deserve it.” Inuyasha could feel the sting of tears in his eyes. If they didn't do something soon, he was going to lose the woman he pledged to protect with his life.

Sesshomaru pushed the slayer out of the way and held out a silver cup towards his brother. “Give this to your mate to drink.”

 

Inuyasha laid Kagome down on the soft grass and took the cup. He peered at the green liquid inside. It smelled horrible. He scrunched his nose at the smell. “What the hell is this shit? It smells like vomit! I'm not making her drink this, forget it!”

 

Sesshomaru glared at his half-brother. “Do you wish for her to live or not? I cannot perform the ritual if she is unconscious. I assure you, it will not harm her.”

 

Inuyasha wanted to ask what was in the cup and what it would do to Kagome, but he knew he didn't have the luxury of time. He lifted the young woman's head up and placed the silver cup to her lips. “Kagome, I know this is gross, but you have to drink this.”

 

As soon as the disgusting liquid hit her mouth, Kagome started coughing and then vomited. After she was finished heaving, she looked up at her intended, embarrassed. “What IS that stuff? It's putrid!”

 

“I don't know, but please drink it Kagome. It will make you better, okay?” Inuyasha pleaded.

 

Kagome took the cup and tried to hold back the urge to gag as she emptied the silver drinking vessel. Inuyasha smiled as the colour returned to her skin.

 

“Well, looks like we don't need your help anymore Sesshomaru. You shoulda just given me that stinky potion before and we could have avoided this whole mess,” Inuyasha said smirking.

 

The Inu-youkai was arranging objects on a small altar in front of the Goshinboku. “Don't be so ignorant, Little Brother. The potion you just administered is only temporary. It is meant to prepare her human body for the mixing of your blood. She will succumb to her pain again soon if we do not finish the ritual. Now both of you come here. We will begin,” he said without turning around to face them.

 

Inuyasha sighed, brought Kagome to her feet and walked her up to the altar. It was made out of dark cherry wood and there was markings similar to the ones on the western palace's walls carved all over it. There was a silver cup placed in the middle of the altar with a small silver blade sitting above it. Both of the objects were again engraved with the same sort of markings that covered the wooden table.

 

Sesshomaru started chanting in a language Inuyasha felt seemed very familiar. `Must be the ancient language of the Inu-youkai,' he thought.

 

After the chanting was finished, Sesshomaru picked the blade and handed it to Inuyasha. He pointed to the small silver cup, about half the size of the one that had contained the potion that sat on the altar in front of Inuyasha and Kagome. “You will take the blade and cut across your wrist. Let the blood drain into the cup until it is half-full. As you cut and drain your blood into the cup, you must think of nothing other than the desire to be bound to your mate. Once you are finished, hand the blade to the miko and she will repeat the process with her own blood.”

 

Inuyasha took the blade, quickly slashed across his left wrist, and let the blood drain into the cup. He smiled at Kagome as he passed her the blade, his stomach in knots. He hated the thought of her having to shed blood for him, but this was necessary.

 

Kagome winced as the sharp blade bit into her skin. She drained her blood into the cup mixing it with Inuyasha's. She could see small sparks within the vessel as her miko aura started crackling against his youkai aura in the blood. She wrapped her wrist in a bandage supplied by Sango and returned her attention to Inuyasha's half-brother standing on the other side of the altar.

 

Sesshomaru chanted again in Inu-youkai and held his fingertips over the cup dripping two small drops of poison from his claws. As the poison hit the blood, the auras in the cup mixed and became one. The contents took on a slight purple glow.

 

The couple smiled, gazing at each other lovingly, pleased that the ritual had worked.

“Thank you Sesshomaru,” Kagome said looking at the taiyoukai.

 

“It is not finished. The blood inside of you must also be mixed,” he said holding up the cup containing the blood and chanting once again. He handed the cup to Inuyasha. “You must each drink the combined blood from each other's hand.”

 

Kagome swallowed hard, the thought of drinking blood didn't quite appeal to her. Inuyasha gazed at her apologetically as he let her drink from the silver vessel. She smiled at him as she drank half of the contents. A warmth surrounded her and made her skin tingle. Inuyasha then handed her the silver object. She held the cup to Inuyasha's lips who reluctantly swallowed. He drank the remainder of the liquid from the cup and felt a pulse throughout his body. His eyes flashed red before returning to amber and his demon markings appeared on his face but did not fade.

 

Sesshomaru took the cup and chanted again. Everything went quiet. A wind then swept up into the branches of the Goshinboku and the couple both started glowing purple for a moment. The glow faded and Sesshomaru started packing up his supplies off of the altar.

 

“You now have until the end of the full moon tomorrow to complete the binding. After which, the appearance of marks will signify your status as mates. If you do not finish the ritual, the miko's pains will come back ten-fold and she will most likely die from shock,” the taiyoukai stated coolly without looking at the couple.

 

Before anyone could say anything, Sesshomaru took off in a ball of light and sped away--Jaken and Ah-Un following a distance behind him.

 

Inuyasha seemed like he was in a daze. His eyes didn't even leave Kagome's when Miroku interrupted them.

 

“So, what else do the two of you have to do huh?” he asked lecherously wriggling his eyebrows.

 

Inuyasha didn't even bother responding with the usual smack to the ex-monk's head as the group figured he would. He was totally fixated on Kagome. His breath was rough and uneven. Kagome looked at him and a knot formed in her stomach. He wasn't acting normal. He wasn't transformed like he normally would be, but it was as if he was fighting himself over something.

 

The girl realized what was happening to her mate and looked at her friends. “Uh, how about we meet back up with you guys tomorrow. It's been a long night and Inuyasha and I have a lot to talk about. Besides, I'm sure Amaya isn't too happy right now being without her parents.”

 

“Are you sure the two of you are going to be okay? Inuyasha doesn't look too good right now…” Sango stated looking at the hanyou, fearing for her friend.

 

“We'll be alright, I promise. Inuyasha would never hurt me. I think it would be best if we were alone right now.” Kagome said as Inuyasha started growling. She hoped they would leave. She could tell her mate was starting to get annoyed with the audience.

 

Sango and Miroku didn't have time to respond before Inuyasha picked up his mate and started bounding away through the forest.

 

They must have been travelling for at least an hour before Kagome was starting to feel a little dizzy. She didn't even need to mention her discomfort, because as soon as it started Inuyasha came to a stop in front of a very large hot spring. He let her down to the ground gently and walked over to a medium-sized cave about thirty feet away.

 

“Inuyasha, are you okay? You haven't said a thing to me since…well since you drank …” Kagome started as she followed her mate towards the cave.

 

The hanyou turned at looked at her longingly. “You….you should wash…I'll find some firewood. We'll stay here tonight,” he said gruffly looking towards an old fire pit.

 

Kagome only nodded and walked over to the hot spring. She was worried about Inuyasha and whatever it was that was bothering him, he didn't seem to want to talk about. She had hoped that maybe he would open up to her after they both had some time to digest the night's events.

 

Inuyasha was in what seemed like agony. `God damn, I thought this urge was gonna go away once we did the ritual like it did for Kagome, not get worse,' he thought to himself, grunting as he bent over to pick up some firewood a short distance from the cave.

 

It was true, the urge to take Kagome was so much worse now than what it had ever been before. He was hoping he would have the chance to just have some time alone to talk about things before they got right down to finishing the binding. He had hoped that the feeling that had overtaken him once he drank the blood would have dissipated over the hour it had taken him to get them here.

 

Her scent was teasing him, testing him; and he was at his limit. Inuyasha was worried he wouldn't be able to get near her before this primal need decided to entirely consume him. There was so much he wanted to say but as soon as he was close enough to speak to her, the words wouldn't come out.

 

It had taken everything in his power to pry himself away from her so she could bathe. He knew she most likely hadn't had the chance to wash in a few days and would be embarrassed if they had to be in close contact. Although he was never able to wrap his head around her need to bathe so often, he did appreciate it. He loved the way that her skin smelled of orchids and lavender afterwards. Tonight she wouldn't have her bath products with her, but her natural scent was already making him dizzy.

 

Inuyasha had gathered enough firewood that it would last them a week. He sighed and headed back towards the cave. This was going to be difficult.

 

Kagome had already finished bathing and was dressed by the time her mate had returned. She leaned against the wall of the cave and struggled to wring some more water out of her hair.

 

Inuyasha couldn't stop staring at her. Kagome didn't bring a towel with her so the water left on her skin and hair from the spring had soaked through her light pink t-shirt which clung tightly to her skin, showing off the swell of her breasts. He gulped loudly and blinked when the woman gave him a quizzical look.

 

Kagome immediately clued in to what he was staring at and tried to cover herself by crossing her arms across her chest. Face now flushed from embarrassment, she tried to look up to the hanyou. “Um, Inuyasha?”

 

The silver-haired half-demon blinked a few times as he realized he should probably answer. “What wench?” he asked then realized it came out a lot gruffer than he had meant.

 

“Were….were you going to start the fire? It's getting a little cold,” the girl said looking back down at her feet.

 

It suddenly dawned on Inuyasha that he must have been standing there staring for quite some time and it had gotten really late. “Oh, uh, yeah,” he choked out looking away as he arranged the firewood. He shifted all of his concentration to the fire that he could. Once the small fire started to crackle, he sat down and stared into the flames, fists clutched at his sides and body tense.

 

Kagome could see that there wasn't going to be any talking tonight. Whatever was effecting him, was much worse than what had happened to him under the Goshinboku that night. She understood. They were going to have plenty of time to talk afterwards, right now though, she was going to have to throw her modesty out the door and enjoy the night with Inuyasha.

 

She walked around to the other side of the fire and sat down beside Inuyasha. He immediately tensed more when she leaned over and brushed her lips against his. Looking into his eyes, she could tell that it was almost painful for him to be this close to her. “It's okay, I love you,” she breathed before taking his lips again a bit more passionately.

 

Inuyasha opened his eyes wide, then lost all control. His body took over, lips devouring his mate's. She moaned into his mouth when his fang nipped her tongue. He deepened the kiss and leaned her backwards. Leaning on top of Kagome, his hands trembled as he kissed her; fingers reaching under her shirt only to be stopped by a piece of cloth and wire. Frustrated, he used his claws and tore through her blouse as well as the restrictive piece of clothing, allowing her breasts freedom.

 

The night air immediately made her nipples harden. He massaged one of her mounds with his hand sending a torrent of feeling throughout Kagome's body. Feeling the callused digits rub just underneath the swell of her breasts then up and around the hardened centre, she arched her back and moaned breathlessly.

 

The sounds that his mate was making was sending Inuyasha's demon into overdrive. He smirked to himself with the pleasure he was giving to Kagome. After leaving her lips and drawing in a much-needed breath, his lips decided to move onto other places.

 

Kagome shivered feeling hot wet lips travel across her jaw, down her neck, across her collarbone and finally down the valley in between her breasts. His tongue scorched her skin in slow circular motions around her nipple before he finally took the hardened nub into his mouth. She ran her fingers through his hair , welcoming the torrent of feelings he could make flood inside of her from his attention on just one area on her body. She whimpered a little in disappointment when she felt the cold air on her breast before arching again as her other mound received the same treatment as the first.

 

Inuyasha's demon was driving him insane. The demon in him just wanted to bend her over and take her quickly. He knew Kagome's first time together with him meant a lot to her though, so he was going to fight as hard as he could to keep it together long enough to pleasure her as much as he could before he lost complete control.

 

Kagome was burning. Burning from her hanyou's touch, burning with her own need. A knot inside of her was coiling itself tighter and tighter--almost painful and seeking release. As Inuyasha continued on his southward journey kissing her stomach she could feel a warmth spreading between her legs. She moaned when his hand brushed against the juncture of her thighs, digging her fingernails into his shoulders and then grabbing onto his haori violently.

 

He shrugged off the haori and juban underneath. Her scent was laced with arousal and want. He KNEW she wanted him just as bad as he wanted her. Kami, she wanted him NOW. He examined the short pair of gym shorts the girl was wearing before slicing through the material of the shorts as well as that of the lacy garment underneath, figuring this was a much faster way of removing clothing.

 

His nostrils flared as he pushed the fabric do the side and inhaled her intoxicating scent before lowering his mouth and licking slowly the spot where the scent originated. As soon as his tongue grazed a particular nub of flesh on the way back up, the girl's hips immediately bucked up towards his face and he could smell more of the exotic liquid pouring out from inside of her. Inuyasha smiled and pushed her thighs apart, gaining himself a better view at her most intimate of places.

 

Kagome thought that she was dying from pleasure, that's the only way she could describe it. Never before had she EVER felt ANYTHING this wonderful. She felt the coil inside herself almost ready to snap as Inuyasha lapped up between her folds, sucking on her sensitive button on the way back up. She lost all sense of reality when she felt his knuckle push into her entrance as he continued sucking on her most sensitive spot. Every muscle in her body tightening, she saw explosions of light behind her eyes as she cried out. The coil inside her had finally sprung, releasing with it a hot, wet feeling inside of her as well as running down her thighs.

 

Panting, she looked up at her mate who was now standing above her and removing his hakama. Opening and closing her mouth several times, she tried to speak but words just wouldn't form.

 

He smirked as the small form shaking, panting and dripping in sweat below him. She was obviously too flustered to speak and that just inflated his masculine pride even more to know that he was the cause of it all. Returning to his previous position on top of her, he leaned on his arms for support as he crushed her lips in a passionate, searing kiss.

 

She felt all the breath escape her as she moaned into his mouth. She could feel every inch of his body pressed up against hers. One particularly hard and large part was pressed into her thigh. She ground her hips up towards him as it was now his turn to moan.

 

Not being able to ignore his own need any longer, Inuyasha positioned himself at his mate's slick entrance and looked down at the woman he loved. “Kagome, look at me. Are you ready koi?” he asked huskily.

 

The young miko just nodded her head before looking him straight in the eye. “Yes, make me yours, I love you Inuyasha.”

 

“I love you too Kagome,” the half demon replied as he pushed into her feeling her wet, tight muscles constricting around his engorged member. `Kami, she's so tight. I've gotta hold it together, damn she feels so good' he thought to himself as he reached her barrier. Never losing her gaze, Inuyasha quickly thrust himself inside her to the hilt before freezing all movement entirely. “I'm so sorry Kagome,” he said as he saw the tears well up in her eyes.

 

In all honesty, the pain wasn't as bad as Kagome had originally thought that it would be. It did still hurt though, a lot. She was surprised when it started to subside, and feeling him stretch her, the sensation of his length throbbing inside of her started to wind that coil up tighter again. She wanted to feel him move and showed him this by thrusting her own hips up towards his.

 

Upon feeling the ebony beauty move below him, Inuyasha started to thrust into her slowly. He relished the feel of her slick internal walls tightening and contracting around him with each movement. His eyes glazed over as he felt himself steadying his movements faster and harder inside of her. Kagome moaned loudly, clawing her nails down his back and he could feel himself readying for release. He sucked hard on her skin at the junction of her neck and her shoulder pumping harder into her as he felt her tighten around him even further. He bit down hard and howled as they released together, feeling a twinge of pain in his own neck, followed by an immense warmth blanketing both their bodies in a strange aura as his seed spilled out inside of her.

 

They lay there panting for a long time in each other's embrace before the darkness engulfed them in sleep.

 

Author's Note: Yes, there it was, the much-awaited lemon. I gotta admit I'm really not that pleased at my lemon-writing skills (it felt so rushed) but I needed to finish this chapter. I had started it about a week ago on my days off and was going to end it right after the ritual. I figured I should tie the lemon in at the end and make the chapter a bit longer since you guys patiently waited so long for it. I apologize in the wait, I've been totally run down with the amount of time I'm having to spend at work recently. Now that block of nasty 12-hour shifts is done, I can get back into my regular routine and hopefully have a chapter up every couple days again.
