Chapter 20: Changing

Inuyasha's party lasted till 5 in the morning, but he still arrived at Kagome's house and slept on the floor-sofa for a good 5 hours, Kagome sitting right by him while watching TV. , Wondering about last night. It confused her greatly. Eri told her to dance like that a before she knew it...he was evidently thinking like a hormonal male. Sango warned her of it, but somehow, Kagome thought that Inuyasha was different, But alas, she had to except he was a male...basically a “man” now...but somehow it made her feel so dumb and stupid that she still felt so immature about it. How the process of Sex was still so gross inside her mind...she never wanted to do it, but it seems like her body was ahead of her mind and would react to Inuyasha's moves. She stared a his sleeping face. It was so peaceful and he slept with his mouth open. He really was amazing looking. She had been watching more and more TV., getting more and more into romance. She wanted him to kiss her...That was one thing she wanted, but kissing always lead to other things...right? She had a flashback of the party, how he warded off all the guys from her, holding her protectively. It made her blush. Her grandfather warned her that he'd be dangerous, if protective...But to tell the truth...she didn't mind. She smiled. She didn't mind because she knew she couldn't live her life, nor giver her heart to anyone but Inuyasha...When she was ready of course...but still...if she did decide to do something as incredibly gross as sex...not till her wedding night. He stirred and woke up to her intent stare. He smiled and said,

“Yo.”

She snapped from her daze and quickly looked away, bright red and embarrassed. He sat up and stretched, growling like a dog. She smiled at him. He smiled back and put his arm around her, drawing her to lean on his shoulder. He loved to wake up, even from just a nap, too Kagome's smiling face. Their was no other smiling face as warm as her's. They proceeded to watch TV the rest of the day, Kagome's mother bringing them in lunch and calling them for supper when needed.

X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X

That Monday, Kagome arrived at School with Eri, Yuka and Ayumi as usual. Nothing was really different until she felt someone grab her hand and swing her around. That familiar embrace, and people stared. She looked up to a smiling Inuyasha.

“Inuyasha? But I thought...”

Her friends stared on at the sudden change in Inuyasha's attitude. Last week, he barely spoke to her, but today, the first thing he did when he saw her was grab her into a hold. Inuyasha smiled and said,

“On second thought, I can protect you from those hentai freaks I call friends.”

Inuyasha couldn't explain it either. It seemed from that night... that moment as she danced... it happened. He knew it, admitted he tried to deny it, but Kagome was like medication for him. When he felt angry, or feeling like he wanted to cause trouble, he'd hold Kagome, and he returned to an indescribable calm. On the inside he fought it tirelessly...even seeing her, he fought as hard as he could not to abandon his friends to be with her, but it was second nature. He couldn't wait to hold her, smell her. He noticed his friends began to surround them and give him a weird look. Inuyasha growled at them, not letting loose of Kagome,

“What? What is it? You all have a problem?”

Himekou rose a brow,

“What's going on, man? Do you have any idea what you are doing?”

Inuyasha glared at them, Kenji continued,

“She a retard man! Not too mention since you guys were kids...”

“Things have changed”

He held his puzzled Kagome closer,

“Got a problem with it?”

“I do!”

They looked behind him to see Kouga and his pack.

Kagome encircled his arms around Inuyasha in fear, taking in his protection. She remembered him now...from the zoo. She didn't recognize him because of his uniform and his hair being hidden...plus that whole day was strange to her. Inuyasha snarled at him,

“What the hell do you want, Wimpy Wolf?”

Kouga chuckled,

“Her. When I said I'd have her, I was not kidding, Inu-koro...she's mine!”

Inuyasha pulled Kagome behind him, but froze when he heard Kagome yell,

“I'm not your's! I don't want to be, nor will I ever!”

Inuyasha smirked at Kouga,

“See, Wimpy Wolf? She's not your's.”

Kouga growled,

“It's not her choice. I'm an Ookami Prince...She will be my queen, have a problem with that?”

Inuyasha smirked,

“Yah, one.”

“What?”

Inuyasha, as fast as lightning got in his face and growled with poisonous venom snarling in his voice,

“Because she's mine...”

None of the humans heard, but the pack did and gasped. That's when Kouga threw the first punch, sliding Inuyasha backward on his feet, but he just sprung forward, flying at him with flared claws. In the back of the courtyard, a familiar pair of eyes watched. Kikyou watched curiously as Inuyasha and Kouga fought over her cousin. Kikyou was unsure if this was a good idea. She knew how much of a selfish jerk Inuyasha was and knew what he did to Kagome in the past...but it was evident that it was kept from her, making Kikyou angry that Inuyasha was taking such advantage over her sick cousin. Kagome deserved better than that jerk. Kikyou sighed and headed toward her class.

A crowd began to surround as the fight continued...Kouga and Inuyasha fought and hit each other very equally until Kouga got Inuyasha square in the jaw, sending him flying into the ground. Kagome cried his name as Kouga hovered over him and rose his fist.

“Say good-night puppy, and goodbye to Kagome.”

Then he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see an angry Kagome and a foot collide with his nose, then as he stumbled back, Kagome rounded off a kick straight to the side of his head, then once more, knocking him on the ground as she growled and screamed,

“Kyaaa! Hyaaa! Hai!”

Kouga fell onto his butt beside Inuyasha, looking up to Kagome's angry face.

“You leave him alone you meanie!”

She said angrily, but still so naiive and innocent. Inuyasha stared in awe as Kagome found herself getting back into battle stance. Inuyasha must admit to himself, he found it quite intreging to watch his girl fight in a school uniform, but it hurt at the same time in more ways then one. Kouga slowly got up, wiping the blood from his mouth and nose. He glared at her and said,

“I love the spunk you have, Kagome, But...”

“But your not sure you want a girl that can kick your ass, wolf-boy?”

an anonymous voice rang from the crowd. He snapped his fingers as his pack gathered around him. He looked at Kagome, helping Inuyasha up and told them,

“This is far from over...And Kagome...Next time I'll fight back and take you.”

Inuyasha growled as Kagome sneered. As they walked off, Inuyasha wiped the blood from his lip and asked,

“You are only a brown belt?”

She shrugged,

“I guess...I don't know what happened...you were hurt and it came back to me... but now it's gone again...”

Then they heard people laugh and guy yelled out,

“Yo, Inuyasha? Need the retard to fight for you now, ne?”

Kagome looked at Inuyasha. He wouldn't look at her. She got angry and stepped in front of him, yelling,

“Inuyasha could have done it himself, But I'm not that kind of stupid, weak girl that's just going to watch my best friend get hurt because of me!”

That started a whole new wave of whispers as Inuyasha cringed. Kagome froze,

“Did I say something wrong?”

Kenji chuckled,

“This is some kind of joke,ne? Inuyasha? This retard... Since when have you ever been nice...or become friends with Kagome?”

Inuyasha looked strange. Kagome yelled,

“Stop calling me a retard you baka!”

Kenji laughed and walked up to her, saying,

“What? Who says you can talk to me, retard? Or are you going to dance for me like you did Friday night?”

A few people yelled for her too. She looked embarrassed and mad. Inuyasha's bangs hid his eyes and he clinched his fists. He heard few more cat calls, then something snapped when he saw Himekou shove her and say,

“Get out of here, retard! We don't want you and Inuysha is way too popular to have you around to burden him.”

Inuyasha felt his human side say “Good, hopefully she will leave us alone after this.” But ever stronger was his youkai blood saying, “How dare he! How dare they! She's Mine!”

Then she heard Kagome's hurt voice say,

“This was the reason, wasn't it?...That I was not to be with you at school?...Because you didn't want to be seen with me at school? Because I'm a 'retard' and you are popular?”

The hurt severed him. He couldn't take that voice. He hurt the one he cared for more than anyone. As She was going to turn to run, she yelled,

“I can't...believe...You... I thought...I can't...”

As she turned around in a burst of tears, he grabbed her and crushed her into him. She struggled, but he held her tighter and said sternly, “It was, but not now. Stop it!”

Then he turned to the rest of the crowd and said in a scruffed, angry, but point-proving voice,

“ Ok, fine... She is my best friend! I admit it! That's where I am every day is her house...with her...”

Everyone gasped and Kagome relaxed as he continued,

“But now it stops, I'm not going to hide it anymore. Kagome is with me! If anyone has a problem with that, no big deal! But Where Kagome is, I will be! You got that!”

“So this is why you ditched us? For her! For that? She may be hot as hell, but she's still a retard!”

“What I do is my business... But you can either accept it or get over it!”

A hush fell over the crowd. Inuyasha nodded,

“That's what I thought, you bunch of superficial bastards!”

He began to lead Kagome away when Himekou said,

“Wait! Inuyasha...”

He turned around, holding Kagome close,

“Whatever man, if you think the retard-”

“-The next person to call her 'retard' will get my claws racked across their face, understood?”

He interrupted with a venom-soaked voice. Himekou sighed and continued,

“Ok- Kagome... If she's that important to you man, we shouldn't be hard on you for it. Her friends can come too.”

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha. Inuyasha shrugged,

“We'll see you at lunch”

He said as he began to lead Kagome to class.

“Sorry Kagome...I'm such a jerk... I-”

“Inuyasha?”

“What?”

Kagome looked up at him with a sweet smile,

“I may not be as smart as you or the others want me to be, but I realize that took a lot of courage...Thank you...You truly are my very best friend.”

He stopped her and took her by her shoulders, making her look straight up at him. His eyes were heavy, but he said,

“You are mine as well...oh so sweet...carring...but Higurashi Kagome? Is that all you feel for me?”

With one bright red blush, That gave Inuyasha his answer, though she looked away and lied, choking out a,

“Yes”

Inuyasha drew her chin up,

“What did I tell you? You can't...hide...it...”

He wanted to lean in for a kiss, but the 5 minute bell rang. He sighed,

“Let me take you to class.”

X-X-X-X-X-X-X

Inuyasha and Kagome walked into the house. She found her mother and grandfather in the kitchen crying. Kagome asked worried,

“Mama? What is it?”

Her mother said,

“My Aunt, Jii-chan's sister has died.”

“Oh how awful, Mama! Did I know her?”

“You've met her once or twice, but you didn't know her well.”

Inuyasha just stood right behind Kagome. Kagome's mother said,

“The funeral is Saturday, but we can't go. We'd need to arrive on Friday.”

“Why not?”

“You and Souta start studying for your winter exams... plus I can't just leave you two here alone.”

Then Inuyasha froze when Kagome said,

“Why can't Inuyasha just stay here with Souta and I? He's 18! He's an adult!”

It felt strange to both of them to hear that, but Inuyasha froze, since he was on the spot. Kagome's Mother looked at him,

“Inuyasha? I know you are used to watching Kagome... but would it be too much of a burden? Would your brother mind? We'd-”

“Nope! Out of the question!”

“Jii-chan!”

He stood up and pointed at Inuyasha,

“It's not enough that I let him into my house everyday, but now you are willing to let him stay here alone with our sweet Kagome!”

Her mother said,

“Jii-chan, I know how much you don't Like Inuyasha, but He's the one who can take care of Kagome the best, plus I think they know better...”

Inuyasha gulped as he watched yet another argument about him. Kagome looked up at him and smiled. Oh, How he'd give anything to spend one weekend with her. Finally his ears perked to Jii-chan saying,

“Alright, fine, but don't blame me if we come back and...”

“Jii-chan! I'm not a child anymore! I know right from wrong! Don't you trust me?”

“I trust you! Just not him!”

He stared at Inuyasha and said,

“You don't think I know, ne? About Inu Youkai and women?”

“Enough!”

Her mother yelled. Then it was decided...that weekend, from Friday to Sunday, Inuyasha would “babysit” Kagome and Souta.

X-X-X-X-X-X-

They watched from the Shrine steps as the taxi drove Kagome's mother and Grandfather to the train station. Then Souta picked up his backpack and started to skip down the steps. Kagome asked,

“Where are you going?”

“Mama says I can stay at Rori's tonight.”

Inuyasha nodded. Kagome shrugged and waved,

“Have fun.”

Inuyasha smiled and said,

“I think your mom likes me more then she lets on.”

Kagome giggled and started to run inside. Inuyasha just stared after her, hoping he could keep to himself tonight. Maybe it wasn't a good idea letting Souta leave. He began to walk to the door and his ears twitched as the wind tickled his nose. He said,

“Storm's coming.”

He went inside and slipped of his shoes. Kagome was humming in the kitchen, boiling water. Inuyasha got concerned and asked,

“Are you sure you should be doing that?”

Kagome smiled at him,

“You worry too much. I've made Ramen for you a few times before. I'll be fine...go sit down.”

Inuyasha smiled and sat on the mini-sofa/futon that was in the living room. He'd have to play it cool tonight, but Kagome was so irresistible to him. She was the only thing on his mind, but his youkai blood kept telling him that she was him mate...to claim her, join her. It was hard to fight, but he did it for Kagome. She was still so innocent and naiive...besides...now it tugged at his guilty conscience that she doesn't remember their past. Over half her life, he tormented her and bullied her. What would she do if she remembered him like that? But lately...His mind, heart and body had been in total chaos. A few minutes later, she brought in two bowls on a tray and sat them on the table beside them. They ate quietly and spent the rest of the evening Watching TV. And holding each other.

X-X-X-X-X-X-

Just like old times, when she was dressed in her night clothes, He'd tuck her in. She wore a black sports bra with a loose purple shirt over it, that hung over her shoulder, then she wore a pair of snug, dark blue cotton sweat-shorts. He tried not to look at her in that way as he might loose control. She climbed under the covers and he drew them up to her shoulders, She smiled sweetly at him as he kissed her on top of the head.

“I'll see you in the morning. I'll be sleeping in the guest room, since it has a Western bed.”

She nodded and said,

“Hai... “

She sat up really quick to kiss him gently on the cheek and she laid back down and giggled. He stared at her and then smiled,

“Oyasumi nasai”

“Oyasumi”

He shut off her lamp and walked out, closing the door behind him. He sighed and gently touched his cheek as he stammered off to bed, just stripping down to his red boxers and sliding underneath the covers, falling to sleep with the thought of Kagome.

X-X-X-X-X-

Kagome quickly sat up in bed as a flash of bright light shone in her room. Rain pounded on the roof and window, the tree outside scrapping against the window. Then the thunder came. It was loud. She knew what it was, but this was her first. It was scarier then she thought. She tried covering her head, but one more explosive thunderclap and she was sent high-tailing it to Inuyasha's room, flying onto his bed, right on top of him. She startled him and hid her face in his chest, then he sat up against the pillow quickly and when she sat up, he looked up at her,

“Ka..Kagome! What the Hell are you doing?”

In a shaky, childish voice, she squeaked,

“I'm scared.”

Inuyasha sighed and said,

“It's just a thunderstorm. You are inside and safe, now go back to...”

Another loud thunder clap sent her flying into his chest. He sighed and started to rub her back. She trembled in his arms and on top of him. To make it less awkward, he rolled her off of him and onto her back. He propped himself on his arm, covering her with the covers,

“Sleep in here tonight, you'll be safe.”

She smiled and snuggled into him before laying just on her back. Cringing and jumping a bit from the louder thunderclaps that cracked like a bull whip in the sky. Inuyasha watched her, the reflection on the rain on the window danced on her. She then whispered,

“Inuyasha?”

“Hmm?”

“I'm still a bit scared...can you sing to me?”

Inuyasha was confused at first,

“Sing?”

“Yah, I remember...when I was young...Mama would sing to me.”

Inuyasha nodded.

“I don't have the best voice, but I can try.”

And he had the perfect song. She was still scared and trembling, so he leaned over her, starting to gently touch her face to sooth her. It was soothing her, but she parted her lips and she began to breath a bit faster. Slow and low he began to sing:

“Kagome Kagome... kagono nakano toriha...”

He watched her closed eyes, but she was still awake. Her scent was so alluring, he had to get closer. He leaned in near her collarbone, still gently singing, as his breath stimulated her skin.

“Itsu itsu deyaru...yoakeno banni...”

He studied her face as he cradled her cheek in one hand. She was surprisingly relaxed, and he would breath her in, deeply, he trailed his breath of song over her cheek, slowing the words and lowering the volume till it was almost a whisper,

“...tsuru to...kame ga...subette...”

He felt under his arm, her chest rising and falling deeply, little vocalizations would escape her mouth from time to time. But those parted lips infatuated him...he closed his eyes and closed in,

“...ushirono...shoumen...d..”

Then he grabbed her lips with his. She tensed and her eyes opened widely, until they became heavy and she closed them. She didn't know what to do, how to kiss back, but Inuyasha surrounded both of his strong arms around her, one of his legs grabbed her, pulling her in. Kagome grabbed him and held him, but not sure how to kiss back. Inuyasha squinted his eye open to see her's closed, but her brows told him she was lost. He broke of the kiss to her shocked face, licking her lips. She looked embarrassed. He smiled warmly at her and caressed her cheek, pulling his thumb over her lips. She trembled and looked into his eyes. He said,

“Don't be shy...kiss back.”

“I don't know how...”

She squeaked. Inuyasha crushed his lips onto her's, moving his lips a bit , along with his head, trying to coax her to move with him. She held him closer to her. She got the hint and attempted to catch his lips with her's. When she succeeded, Inuyasha kissed her back with vigour. Kagome was nervous and scared, but she had wanted to do this for a long time. Inuyasha held one hand behind her head, the other stroking her arm and side, gliding his hand up the side of her hip and ribcage. Then Kagome didn't know what to expect from it, but Inuyasha slid in his tongue into her mouth. She felt a quick panic inside. What was he doing? This was new to her, but not to him. But his tongue coaxed hers from hiding. It almost seemed to her that his tongue was hugging her's, but she noticed Inuyasha was breathing harder now, he was getting more passion, making her slightly uncomfortable, but a great deal of it she enjoyed, and found herself wanting more. He loved the feel of her lips. They tasted so sweet and pure, and felt so silky and supple. He pulled away to start to lightly kiss her cheek and jawbone. In instinct, Kagome allowed him better access, but his body stiffened as she started to let out small whimpers and moans. The scent she was giving off was so intoxicating. He tried to tell himself to stop, but he couldn't...not yet. She held him, stroking his hair and ears. He moaned and it sent a warning jolt through Kagome. The jolt felt so overwhelmingly good, but it scared her. Inuyasha's body mis interpreted and before he knew it, he was right on top of her, but she tightly kept her legs closed. Part of his mind said, “good girl”...the other said, “no...please don't deny me.” Kagome was frightened, but the feelings she felt were overwhelming. Every inch of her burned and tingled for Inuyasha's touch...but there was something else her body craved, but didn't know what it was. But she began to panic when hard against her abdominal region, she felt that she was making Inuyasha “feel special”. Warning sirens started to alarm in her head. Out of breath, she whimpered,

“Inuyasha...Inu...Yasha”

“Shhhhhh”

He gently shushed her as he continued to kiss her, then trail down her neck. She was breathing hard and her body wriggled under his. He smelt the discomfort and fear, but it mixed with the smell she couldn't help but to release. His breath tickled her neck as he reached the nape. He gently ran his tongue along it, tasting that sweet flesh. He said with a low growl,

“Hmm... you smell...taste so good...”

She was nervous and whispered,

“Inu...Yasha...”

He captured her lips again, stronger and longer than before, then he worked his wy back down to the nape of her neck, panting and gently running his tongue along the sensitive regions of her neck and shoulder, his claw lightly runnind along her collar bone. She shivered as she felt something frightening, he moaned as he gently circled his fangs gently on her skin, sending waves of fear and pleasure throughout her.

“Inu...Inuyasha.”

She heavily breathed, though it sounded more like a moan, causing him to grip her tightly. Then she heard, his hot breath near her ear, but concentrated on her neck. He moaned husky, dripping with passion and want,

“Kagome... Oh... Kagome...”

Kagome stiffened. What was going on...no...no she wouldn't...He licked the area, causing Kagome to arch back with sensation, sending a trail of physical reactions through him. Dripping in want, husk and passion, he moaned,

“MMMMM...Mine.”

When he was about to clamp down his fangs into her sweet skin, Lighting struck the tree right outside, making a loud sound like an explosion. Inuyasha sat up and covered his ears in pain as Kagome screamed and flew into him, hiding her face. After the shock of the lighting had passed, Inuyasha held Kagome, who trembled, She leaned back against the head board and looked into his eyes, looking for answers. Inuyasha looked at her kneeling there, scared and confused. He had to ask,

“Kagome? What's wrong?”

She looked over him. He was in nothing but his red boxers and she dare not look down, in fear that the opening had something to show. He covered himself. She trembled and said,

“I'm so confused...All those feelings...they felt so overwhelming and good... But... they...”

Inuyasha stared at her, feeling sorry for her while kicking himself at the same time. She continued,

“What you were doing felt so good, but caused me to...tingle and...I felt like...I wanted you to touch me more...in a way I didn't know how...I wanted you closer and...”

She began to tremble. She looked into his heavy, still passion-filled eyes. He whispered to her,

“You honestly want to know what it was?”

She nodded,

“And how to get rid of it, because I feel it so strong now, I want to burst.”

He closed his eyes and trembled, a small whimper escaped him. He then told her,

“I'm sorry to tell you this... but it was your body telling you...It wanted...you know...”

Kagome froze and looked at him in horrified shock,

“You mean my body itself...tells me it wants to...have sex...”

He was panting and nodded,

“And my body, too, is feeling like that...for you...It's very strong...”

She blushed more than before. He wanted to have sex with her? This made her grossed out, scared, but happy at the same time. She sighed,

“How do we get rid of it? Without actually... you know...”

Inuyasha scooted closer to her, saying,

“Well, I don't think you' would do some of the things that come to mind.”

Kagome got nervous,

“What?”

Inuyasha rubbed the back of his neck and said,

“Believe me... you wouldn't... It involves...touching...parts...”

She blushed and shook her head quickly. Inuyasha somewhat inside, naturally was sad. But Kagome was still too innocent for anything close to that. She did not realize the severity of this whole situation. This was overwhelming to Kagome. The single thing she herself didn't want to do...they both wanted, and Inuyasha's state reflected her own...She knew Inuyasha wanted her...And she found a part of it loved it and wanted him too... She whimpered,

“What do we do? I'm not ready...besides... I think I'd die if you saw me naked...”

He rose a brow,

“Why?”

He smiled slyly and panted,

“I'm sure I'd have no problems with it...In fact...I think I'd rather enjoy it.”

She shuddered and said,

“I'm not ready...I am...but I'm not...I'm so confused...”

Inuyasha breathed deep and laid on his back, pulling Kagome down with him, placing her on his chest.

“Let's get some sleep.”

The thunderstorm still raged, but other things weighed heavy on Inuyasha and Kagome, though Kagome still coward into his chest, and he held her tightly to comfort and protect her. They held each other tightly, until they dozed off, Inuyasha was thinking,

'I was so close to marking her and making her all mine...One day she will be, and I'll have her...all of her...'
