InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Two Sparrows in A Hurricane ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Inuyasha grumbled in the treetop. Why was he feeling this way? He was hot, sweaty, feverish. And it wasn't even hot outside. And his body. Dammit. He couldn't even get near Kagome. Not without needing ... relief. His body insisted on demanding sex. He'd smell Kagome's scent and BAM! He had spent the last week avoiding her. And she was upset. Their fights escalated as he tried to keep her mad at him to get her to leave him alone. He wouldn't disgrace her. Not his sweet, innocent Kagome. He wouldn't let her lay with him. Not an animal.
Myouga showed up and gave Inuyasha some of the answers he was looking for, not that he liked the answers.
"It's your mating time, Master. All demons experience it at one point or another."
"Dammit, Myouga, how long will this last?"
"I don't know. It varies. And since you are a half-demon, I have no experience with that, Master."
"I will just have to stay away from Kagome until this is over. Dammit all to hell."
"Why don't you just mate with her, Master?"
"Do you realize what you're saying, Myouga? I refuse to disgrace Kagome."
Inuyasha flung the flea away and sat there, grumbling again. That's when he smelled her. Kagome. Only this time ...
"Oh no.", he moaned, as her scent came closer, "She's in heat herself."
"Inuyasha?", Kagome called, looking up into the branches.
"I can't take this.", he said to himself, as he bounded away, further into the forest, "I can't let myself get near her."
As he bounded further away, not realizing the sadness he left behind in Kagome, as she wondered again why he was avoiding her, he kept his mind focused on one thing. He refused to disgrace his Kagome. He realized his mind was getting foggy and numb. He hated this mating season thing. He stopped on the ground and leaned against a tree. He needed to get his bearings. Needed to clear his mind. Then ...
"Inuyasha."
"Wha?", He turned to face the woman, 'Kagome. How did you get all the way out here?', he thought through the fog.
"Inuyasha.", the voice said again, "Are you alright?"
His mind totally numb and unclear, he went to the woman and embraced her tightly.
'Kagome', his mind raced, "I'm sorry I ran."
With that he kissed her, passionately, as he held onto her for dear life. He needed her. Wanted her. His body filled with lust as he broke the kiss and began to trail hot kisses down her neck, down to where her shoulder joined her neck, where he began licking. The marking spot. His eyes faded from gold to red back to gold as lust and passion filled his body. Mating time. Must mate. But, wait, something wasn't right. The scent. Then ...
SLAP!
He felt the hand slap his face and his cheek sting as he fell backwards onto the ground and through the hazy mist of his mind ...
"DAMMIT Kagome, what was that for?"
"KAGOME? You called me Kagome?"
"HUH?", as his mind cleared a bit, "KIKYOU? WHAT THE HELL?"
Inuyasha stood up and stared at her. What the hell had he just done?
"Inuyasha, what has gotten into you? And why did you call me Kagome?", Kikyou demanded.
"I...I...I don't know.", he stammered, his face flushed with embarrassment.
His ears twitched as he heard the sound and his nose picked up the scent. This was Kagome. His Kagome. And ...
"Kouga!", Inuyasha turned and ran, ignoring the astonished priestess.
He came upon a clearing to see Kouga demanding that Kagome join him. Miroku, Sango, Shippou and Kirara were beside her, trying to dissuade him. It was also Kouga's mating time.
"Wimpy wolf, get away from her!", Inuyasha demanded as he took a swipe at the unsuspecting wolf.
"She's mine, puppy! I claimed her when I told her I loved her. You have no business here. Leave before I tear you to shreds."
"Oh yea? I'd like to see you try. She's my woman not yours. She never was. I swore to protect her."
"Yea, well you do a pretty shitty job of it, puppy.", Kouga yelled, as he attacked Inuyasha.
The two continued the attacks and insults on each and other and Kagome was scared. This time was unlike the other times the two had fought. This time there was death in both of their eyes. Just like when Kouga had fought Inuyasha at Naraku's castle. She knew Inuyasha really had no desire to kill the wolf, he just wanted to scare him off. But Kouga didn't scare easily. And Inuyasha knew this. Kagome watched, worried, as she saw the red blaze in Inuyasha's eyes.
'He's turning demon! No, I have to stop this!', she thought as she got in between the two. "STOP IT BOTH OF YOU!", she screamed, to no avail.
In trying to get her out of the way, Kouga pushed her a little too hard and she fell, hitting her head on a small rock and knocking her unconscious. This infuriated Inuyasha, who was now full demon, which unnerved the wolf.
"BASTARD", Inuyasha's raspy voice screamed as he tore at the wolf, sending him flying into the woods. Inuyasha continued to stare at the place he threw the wolf, waiting for him to reappear. When he didn't, he turned to the injured Kagome.
"He'll hurt her when he's like that, Miroku. Do something.", Sango urged.
"Inuyasha, stay away from Kagome!", Miroku said, approaching the hanyou with his staff raised.
Inuyasha, with Kagome cradled in his arms, turned around and gave Miroku a ferocious, feral growl.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!", Inuyasha growled to them, and with Kagome in his arms, he jumped to the treetops and was gone.
"Kagome," said a worried Shippou, "Will he hurt her?"
"I don't know, Shippou.", Miroku said, "But he definitely would have hurt us if we had challenged him."
"Should we go after them?", Sango asked, clearly worried about her friends.
Miroku shook his head, "I have a feeling Kagome will be ok. Inuyasha's eyes weren't like before. Not as cold. Something was different about him. Come on, let's go back. I'm sure Inuyasha will calm down soon and bring Kagome home."
The three climbed on the transformed Kirara's back and headed back to the village, still concerned about their friends.
