Chapter Thirty-Seven: Finally Complete
“Kagome-chan, daijoubu ka?”
Kagome's head snapped up, eyes fixing in on the tall woman who walked beside her, chocolate eyes holding worry as they watched her.
“Hai, daijoubu.”
Sango didn't believe her, she could tell, but she didn't feel like sharing her thoughts, not now at least. She shook her head at Sango, stopping the woman before she could ask anything, and though her friend looked worried, she said nothing; and that Kagome was thankful for.
Inu ears perched atop a head of silver locks swiveled back some, listening to the conversation of the two females behind their owner. Inuyasha's brows furrowed, fangs worrying his bottom lip momentarily as he caught the new change in attitude of his mate.
Something was amiss; he hadn't done anything had he? He snorted at the thought. Why was it always he who had to be the one doing something wrong? She'll just have to either tell me what's wrong tonight or get over it.
It was like wild fire, Kagome's shift in mood had everyone silent and withdrawn, just as she was, within moments and it pissed Inuyasha off. He didn't understand what it was with his mate; one moment she was happy, the next in a mad rage, and then depressed and silent.
He scowled up at the cheerfully shining sun as though it were the source of his trouble. Annoying females.
Kagome lifted her head, feeling eyes upon her, catching Inuyasha frowning back at her. Her eyes narrowed.
Now was not the time for her mate to start anything with her, not now. With an annoyed `humph' her mate turned around, walking ahead a bit more briskly, causing Miroku to widen his stride to stay in pace with the ill-tempered hanyou.
Kagome noticed, with some amusement, that Sango had moved in front of her, leaving her to bring up the rear. That was unusual for the taijiya, usually she never let Kagome lag behind them, but then again she was only a few feet ahead and she kept glancing back to check on the young miko.
`Sakura?' Kagome called, concentrating as best she could on reaching the only one she could think of that may have an answer to her questions.
She was sure that Sango might know but for some reason or anther she found herself wanting the comfort that the other woman provided, she felt secure in her guidance and it both worried her yet seemed natural; as though she had always known the other even though that in itself was impossible.
When she received no reply she tried again, concentrating on the feel of the energy, or aurora, that was present when the female contacted her the previous times.
`Sakura?'
Suaru looked up from the reports that littered the large wooden desk before her. Sitting up straighter in the high backed chair she listened intently, hearing yet again the faint call. She smiled, secretly praising the young miko for being able to call her.
`Hai, Kagome?'
`Ah, I'm glad I got you Sakura. I'm not bothering you, am I?' Kagome glanced up grateful to see that the group was taking a break.
She sat a bit away from everyone else, relaxing with a book, though she only pretended to read it as she spoke with Sakura.
`Not in the least. Now, what's your question?' Suaru felt Kagome's amusement at her ability to know that she needed the older female's guidance.
With a sigh, Kagome began. `I need to know; when the mating is performed and the mates are to mark each other, do both of them mark each other, or is it just the male that marks the female?'
Suaru's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly became serious, she could feel the worry that ate at Kagome's heart, as though it were she herself who was worrying. `For the mating to be complete both must mark the other. Why do you ask Kagome, did you not mark Inuyasha?'
Inuyasha's ears perked up and he glanced Kagome's way, seeing the girl holding her book so tightly her knuckles turned white, her eyes narrowed into slits. He felt a pulse in the air and wondered if he should go to his mate. He quickly decided against the action though as he saw and felt her miko energy crackle around her.
Oh hell, I'm in trouble.
Suaru stood, pacing the room, one hand on her slightly rounded stomach as her other hand clenched and unclenched. THAT DAMN FOOL! Why did he not tell her to mark him? The mating is incomplete!
Suaru felt the anger and confusion of the miko and after a brief mental calculation she thought it best to calm the younger female. `You still have time to mark him. If you mark him tonight, you will complete the bond and all will be fine.'
`D-do you think that maybe, he wasn't telling the truth? Maybe he really doesn't want me maybe it was all just a lie. I'm such a fool, I should have nev-'
`THAT IS ENOUGH! Do not question yourself so. Only he can tell you the truth.'
`And what do you propose I do? Just walk up and say, “Inuyasha, since I didn't mark you so our mating isn't complete. Why didn't you have me mark you?” That won't work with him.'
`I've figured as much.'
`How can I get him to let me mark him though?'
`Have him follow you somewhere, talk for a while then bring it up, if all goes well you will have a complete mating before the night is through, you have the rest of the day to plan, you'll do it, don't worry. I do not doubt that he is loyal to you Kagome, he knows of the mating rituals; he must have a reason.'
Kagome worried her bottom lip with her teeth, glancing at the book though she saw nothing, her mind was to full of thoughts to take anything else in. Setting her book aside she closed her eyes, leaning back against the tree, clearing her mind as best she could.
After some moments of concentration her mind calmed and her power subsided, though her muscles were tense; as though she were ready to fight. She felt Sakura's presence fade from her conscious mind and with a heavy sigh and an even heavier heart she stood after replacing her book in her pack.
Inuyasha watched his mate with worried golden eyes. Her head was down as she rejoined their group, her shoulders slumped. He could feel the tension surrounding his mate as though it was indeed a tangible object and it pulled at the inu hanyou's heart to see his mate in such a state.
Kagome sat stiffly next to Sango, eyes fixed ahead, barely touching the food the taijiya offered. The taijiya glared up at the hanyou, silently blaming him for whatever foolish act he had done this time to get their miko friend in such a mood. The hanyou glowered back at the taijiya in return as he slowly made his way down from his perch, slinking off to the side, eyes boring holes into his mates head.
Kagome felt the weight of his eyes upon her, the tension that still hung thick in the air and she hated it.
Perhaps she truly was being foolish? Inuyasha must have had good enough reason if he didn't complete their mating; though as to what that could be she had no idea.
As if life wasn't enough, another complication had to be added.
The gods hate me. They truly must if no matter what I seem to do I am always in another sticky situation. What am I supposed to do?
“Kagome.” Said girls shoulders stiffened slightly but she put on a smile, turning to Inuyasha.
“Hai, Inuyasha?”
He frowned deeper at the false smile, he could see straight through.
“We need to talk.” He stood, marching over to her, and grabbing her hand he proceeded to drag her off to the surrounding woods.
Sango made to stand but a shake of the head from Kagome, who was nearly running to keep her ground and match her mates stride, held the taijiya to her place.
“I'm worried about her.”
“As am I.”
Shippo looked up, eyes dark as he looked from Miroku and Sango. “Is she gonna be ok?”
A calloused hand patted his head softly, the monk casting him a small. “Hai, they just need to talk, it'll be fine.”
He silently agreed with the houshi, but still that didn't settle the sinking feeling in his stomach, even as he laid down, Kirara curled up against him, purring in that oh-so-soothing way.
He whirled on her, growling. “What's your problem?”
Blue eyes narrowed at his tone. “I don't know what you're talking about.”
Damn it all if he was going to be an ass about it all then she could get out some of her frustration and let him know how it felt to be left in the dark for a while.
“Don't play with me Kagome; you know damn well what I mean!”
“Oh really, then what do you mean?”
He growled fangs showing slightly. “What the hell is wrong with you?! You're acting like I've went to see Kikyo!”
She snapped at that. “Well maybe you should,” her voice rose, eyes welling with tears, “since you'd mate her completely unlike me!”
He froze at that, watching her with shocked eyes as she turned on her heel, storming away, angrily brushing away her tears.
Kagome returned to the rest of the group in record time, now composed though she kept her distance from them, even more so when Inuyasha returned only a moment later.
With a gruff command from a rather angry hanyou the group gathered their things and went on their way, none even so much as daring to speak to the miko or hanyou.
Sango bit her lip in worry, slowly dropping back so she could talk to her `imouto' only to be stopped by the hand of her lover. He shook his head pulling her closer to him, intertwining their fingers. “Let them resolve it.”
It had become dark early, and the sky was obscured by ominous clouds; tomorrow would bring rain and biting winds. A fire blazed cheerfully in the center of camp, fighting the nights chill with its warmth.
Inuyasha had been watching his mate since they had stopped, eyes never leaving her, thinking over the words spoken between them earlier.
Kagome....
His heart clenched, a feeling of helplessness, the thing he hated above all, filling him as he watched her, remembering the tears she had shed, the hurt in her voice.
He's starring again. Kagome sighed, pulling the cover she had dug out of her bag further around her, taking pleasure in its warmth.
She felt a tug at her heart, and with a defeated sigh she looked up, blue eye with gold rimmed iris meeting golden eyes. They were dark with worry, less illuminate and lively than normal, and she felt another pang of guilt in her chest.
She had caused that, no matter how much pain she went through, no matter if he was the cause or not, she loved him to much to hurt him. To see his gaze; the emotions in his eyes telling her how unsure he was, ate at her very soul.
Inuyasha watched as she stood, motioning for him to follow as she took her cover with her to the woods. He cast a glance at the two remaining ningen of his group, receiving a nod from both before he quickly followed after his mate, his pup already asleep with Kirara curled up at his side.
With Inuyasha and Kagome now gone, and Shippo asleep, the houshi wasted no time in cuddling close with his lovely taijiya, despite her small protests of such close contact and intimate kisses in the presence of a child; though even those quickly were silenced by Miroku's warm lips.
The forest was dark, the wind bringing with it a chill, causing a trail of goose bumps over Kagome's exposed flesh. Tucking the blanket around her more securely she sat down in the shelter of a large tree, patting the ground beside her in offering to her mate.
He joined her there, wrapping her in his hold, securing the blanket over them both, nuzzling her mark softly. Her scent invaded his nose, soothing him with its light yet potent aroma.
Leaning back, Kagome cupped his cheek in her hand, tilting her neck to give him better access to her mark. They were quiet for a few moments, neither wanting to break that peace.
Though broken it was, as the raven haired ningen gave voice to the question that had been bothering her as of late, “Our mating is incomplete; why didn't you have me mark you Inuyasha?”
Kagome, koishii...how can I tell you?
She turned in his arms, eyes searching his. “Please, tell me Inuyasha I n-need to know.”
He heard the tears in her voice, even if they hadn't yet begun to well within her eyes. His brows furrowed slightly, ears laying back in agitation. “You wouldn't understand.”
She cried then, cried so hard he held her, her sobbing form pressed against his firm chest, her small fists beating against his chest weakly as she denied his words.
“No, no, no! I need the truth Inuyasha! I can't......I can't bear to think that....that you really don't want me. I can't. Just tell me the truth please, don't lie to me Inuyasha.”
He bowed his head, nuzzling his cheek against her raven locks, to shocked to even argue with her. “Does it really hurt you so, my mate?”
She sobbed harder at that, not giving a damn that her emotions were taking control of her.
“Stop crying Kagome.” He lifted her head, licking away her tears, planting a gentle kiss on each eye. “I'll tell you only if you promise to stop crying.”
“That's not fair.” He smiled at her, drying her face with his hands.
“I'm afraid.”
She caught his hand in hers, holding it to her cheek. “Why?”
Now was the moment of truth, this would be the reason he had not completed their mating.
“I'm afraid of losing you. When my father died it killed my mother. I saw her slowly dying because of losing him. When two mates mark each other it binds them to their very souls. I don't want you to be hurt like that; I'm afraid you'll be hurt Kagome.”
He would have said more, in fact he intended to say more, but the softness of Kagome's lips against his pulled all of his thoughts from him. The kiss was soft, full of compassion, her fingers tangling in his hair, slender legs wrapped around his hips loosely.
He pulled her, somewhat reluctantly, away from him a brow arched at her smile. “You're happy?”
She laughed, one hand caressing a fur covered triangle appendage atop his head. “Yes, I thought it was something worse than that.”
She shook her head, smile still present at his disbelieving stare. “I knew from the moment I fell in love with you that no matter what I wanted to be with you. Losing you is a risk that comes with that Inuyasha. I want to be your mate; I want us to be together in every possible way. I want our bond to be whole despite the risks.”
“Do I truly deserve a mate like you?” He smiled at her, claws tracing her face, tickling the soft flesh.
Their path ended on her lips, which in turn kissed his claws. Eyes still locked a silent understanding passed between the two: no matter what happened, despite all the risks, they would be together, and only by being complete in every way would they be content.
“Tonight.”
She blinked, tilting her head slightly, lost as to what he meant. Her gasp filled the still air around them, the meaning of that word suddenly apparent as her legs were spread, a clawed digit pressing against the cloth that covered her core. He smiled as a flush graced her cheeks, smelling arousal form in her scent.
He was teasing her; slowly moving aside the cloth of her panties with his clawed fingers, taking pleasure in her quiet groan as his fingers grazed against her hot flesh. He was amazed at how wet she became from even the smallest of touches. Did she really enjoy it so?
Only one way to find out.
“I-Inuyasha!” Kagome arched her back with a small cry, hands gripping his shoulders as two of his long fingers invaded her hidden opening.
He took pride in making her cry for him and great pleasure in them as well. She was truly an erotic sight to behold as she threw her head back, bucking her hips into his touch, panting and groaning, eyes screwed shut in her moment of pleasure. He leaned forward, capturing her lips with his, plunging his tongue within the moist cavern, tasting every inch of it with an impassioned need.
She was his, and he wanted her now; this female that without even trying had gained his heart, mind, soul, and body, the woman who was his mate. She broke the kiss, panting, breathe caressing his lips.
Rising slowly she pulled her shirt over her head, trembling as he ran a clawed hand up her thigh. Next came her skirt, slipped down over her hips and thighs, pooling around her feet in a most delicious movement. She leaned down, giving him a lovely view of the tops of her breasts, covered by a lacey white bra, as she removed her shoes and socks, taking a step forward to stand before him clad in nothing but her bra and matching lace panties.
Inuyasha swallowed the growl that had formed in his throat, moving forward on his knees, hands grabbing her hips, sliding the offending bottom garment from her body. She whimpered, shivering as he leaned up, trailing a wet path along her stomach, hands quickly unfastening the bra with ease, pulling it from her body, letting it fall unnoticed to the ground.
He smirked up at her, gently nudging her legs apart with his arm, dipping his head down, kissing the mound of flesh that hid her core. A hiss of surprise and arousal left her lips, hands finding his shoulders as she arched her hips forward, gasping as she felt his tongue invade her folds.
She was delicious, her juices so sweet yet an underlying tanginess made him purr, and he craved more, burying his tongue deeper; mimicking the actions of their lovemaking. She bucked her hips, feeling her knees grow weak as his hands cupped her ass, holding her to him as he drove his tongue deeper, fangs grazing her bundle of nerves.
“Yes, gods yes....I-Inu-uyasha!”
He grinned against her flesh, one hand leaving trailing down to the back of her left thigh, slowly making its way to lay above the place his mouth rested, one finger slipping into her folds to rub gently at her bundle of nerves, feeling her inner muscles clench as her body began to tremble.
She came then, crying out so loudly that he felt a slight ringing in his ears, though it was well worth it in his opinion. She was even sweeter when she came and he found himself becoming addicted to her taste.
With one swift pull she was in his arms, gently lowered to the ground, hands pinned about her head as his lips devoured hers. She bucked into him, whining as she felt the rough texture of his haori and hakama against her bare skin.
“Stay.” It was a command and she obeyed it, feasting on the erotic display of Inuyasha undressing before her.
His chest was a masterpiece seemingly chiseled from stone, yet she knew it to be the softest of skins. Kagome found her mouth suddenly dry as her blue gaze fixated on his exposed abs. He stopped at his belt, letting it hang untied about his hips, the cloth of his hakama and under gi close to falling off his lean hips to reveal his naked splendor for her eyes alone.
“Come here Kagome.”
She shivered at the husky tone, doing as he bade. He smirked down at her, fangs showing as he pulled her closer. He chuckled softly when she pushed his hakama and gi down, combing her fingers through the silver curls surrounding his hardening shaft.
“Cover?”
He pulled away from her heated touches at the question, grabbing the cover that until then had lain forgotten on the ground. Spreading it quickly he grabbed his mate, biting her neck as he lay her down, rubbing their sexes together, trailing wet kisses along her silky flesh.
“Mmmm........” She moaned at the delicious feeling it invoked within her, spreading her legs in invitation.
A low growl erupted from the hanyou's chest, growing in intensity as he lifted his mate's legs over his shoulders, thrusting his hardened shaft deep within her dripping core.
She screamed then, not in pain, yet pleasure, nearly losing her breath as he began to move within her. He was rough and she found herself enjoying the way that he could posses her body in such a way. He was passionate, eyes never leaving hers, lips claiming hers hungrily only leaving them to caress and nip at her neck.
“Kagome...” It was a hiss of pleasure against her ear, sending a thrill of pleasure through her.
“Please.....more......please!”
He felt his eyes shift as red seeped into them, and with a snarl he bit down on her mark, reopening the wound as he shifted them, rolling so that he was under her, and she over him, moving her legs down in the process.
“Oooohhh.....yessss....” She arched, loving the new depth of penetration, the feel of his hand griping her hips slowing pulling her up before slamming her back down, showing her the rhythm to follow.
“Good girl.”
Inuyasha leaned up, letting her take control of her own movements, fangs nearly piercing the flesh of her breast as he nibbled it ever so gently, a hand cupping her firm ass as she moved, keeping her steady.
Their movements were growing more erratic by the moment as they both neared their release.
“So........good.......so very.......good.......” each word was broken by a suckle or nip to her collar or breasts, the light teasing graze of his fangs making her shudder in heightened pleasure.
She was close, so close that it was nearly painful to move, but she kept moving, leaning forward to nip at his throat. “I'm close....so close.....”
Gods, that woman had no idea what those words did to him, the way her voice so laced with pleasure made him want to flip her and take her like a real bitch; to hold nothing back. That, however, could wait for another day, or hour, depending on how tired his mate was.
Inuyasha growled, one hand tangling in her hair, pulling her lips closer to the junction of his shoulder and neck. “Now.”
She did as he bade, biting down with all her might, biting even harder, blood spilling into her mouth as she came, Inuyahsa following soon after, fangs sinking into her mark.
She lay there above him for a few moments, licking the wound gently, mimicking the licks he gave to her own mark.
“Ai shiteru koishii.” She murmured quietly, removing herself from over him, choosing instead to cuddle up next to him, on arm draped over his waist, fingers softly brushing at firm flesh slick with sweat.
She shivered as he rolled, forcing her onto her back, eyes half closed as she watched him, feeling his sharp claws trace a pattern along her stomach.
“Hold still mate.”
She hissed, eyes widened, tears forming at the corners of her blue eyes as she felt his claws lightly cut the skin of her tone stomach, slicing a pattern in the skin.
She whimpered and he smiled, leaning down to lick at the marks he made, lapping at what little blood did spill, pleased to see that the wound was gone when he pulled away, leaving behind it his name in her flesh, the scars so light and small that only eyes of youkai blood could see it.
Her hand touched the spot, her lips cast down in an angry frown. “Why did you do that?”
Inuyasha kissed her lips softly, pulling at them with his fangs until she opened her mouth, letting his tongue invade the sweetness of her mouth, now laced with the bitter sweet coppery taste of his own blood.
“Why?” She asked again as he pulled away.
“It's the final act, now you are mine.”
She felt a tickle of heat in her sex as his eyes gazed into her own, the heat and seriousness of his tone matching the promise in his eyes. She was his, and now he was hers as well, the bond of their mating finally complete.
Ok, so, er, well I guess I should beg for mercy right about now, shouldn't I?
