Youkai Lust

By Dariana aka Silverhentai

Chapter 2

The storm had stopped sometime in the early morning. The whole area was coming back to life; the soft chirping of the birds welcomed the new day as the first sunrays appeared filtering mischievously into the droplets of the previous rain. Warm light shone through the rock entrance of the cave shyly touching the bodies of those who rested inside.

A pair of white fur ears twitched in an attempt of identify the sounds around him. Inuyasha was waking up. His face was not longer decorated with the purple stripes from the day before. Sometime, during the night, his youkai blood had calmed down letting his human half resurface again. A sensation of contentment and comfort wrapped him. He pushed aside the sleepiness and became aware of an unusual weight on his arm, a soft body pressed against his.

A familiar scent filled the air. The smell of white blossoms and fresh early rain. He breathed deep on it, filling his lungs with the sweet aroma, and found it was tainted with something else. He held his breath and opened his eyes.

His golden sight was welcomed by a mass of entangled raven hair contrasting with ivory skin. It traveled a little further just to confirm his fears.

The girl was naked. So was him.

He frantically searched in his numbed mind for something to help him understand what had happened. It was useless. Kikyo was dead. Tessaiga was broken. Naraku went after Kagome. After that, it was like he just blacked out.

The hanyou slowly pulled free the arm encircling the girl. Her skin was soft like silk to the touch. He got up, scanning his surroundings until he found the object he was looking for. His hand reached for the tousled cloth and put it on, covering part of his nudity with the lower part of his haori.

Kagome was awake. She was aware of his movements, but didn't dare to move, frozen in place. Half hidden in the shadows of the site. Maybe if she remained still he wouldn't notice her presence and leave.

Nah, wasn't likely.

She felt him approach again to her and panic rose from her chest.

"Please.. Not anymore.." her body trembled. Her chocolate eyes closed. He covered her small form with his fire rat skin coat and gently cradled her in his lap.

She didn't have the strength to fight him anymore. The young girl winced when he lifted her. Her body was sore. Innocent wide eyes looked at him; his amber gaze reflected sorrow and remorse.

"You are.. You ..again" she whispered. A slight smile of relief appeared on her lips. Something inside him told him to kiss her, she had not rejected him as he expected; but he pushed away that feeling. It wasn't a very good time.

The purple bruise on her right cheek contrasted with the paleness of her face. His masculine scent was all over her, a combination of sandalwood, cedar and wildness.

She must hate him.

"I hurt you" he finally said, his voice full of regret. His eyes darkened by blame into molten amber.

"It wasn't you" she lowered her face, embarrassed for her lack of clothes and the meaning of it. She couldn't look at him on shame. He closed his arms around her in a fierce embrace.

"I'm sorry Kagome, I'm sorry," he repeated it like a mantra, totally shocked. He had turned into a full youkai and lost control. He threw away the idea of turning into a full youkai when the shikon no tama was completed long time ago; scared he might harm someone he cared about. He had realized how important his companions had become in his life. Particularly, this girl in his arms.

Inuyasha caressed her hair in a soothing motion, sliding his fingers through the glossy black strands. His claws accidentally prickled the base of her neck and she flinched emitting an almost inaudible cry.

Carefully, with a new worry growing inside him, he moved her locks and the coat to a side and stared at the injured flesh. His heart beat faster as the cold sensation filled the pit of his stomach.

There was a mark. Undoubtedly his mark.

The fact he had mated with her was crystal clear now.

"It's nothing" she hid it again with the coat. The small wound didn't ached that much anyway.

He took her by the arms and faced her in utter shock.

"Nothing? You don't know what you are saying" his voice loud, almost yelling at her, breathing every word. She bowed avoiding his gaze.

"It doesn't matter anymore. It's just a bite." she wanted to end the conversation.

"Kagome, it is not 'just a bite', it means that we are mates." his voice grave. She looked at him not quite understanding his words. Her brows furrowed.

He sighed and shook his head, shoving away the overwhelming thoughts and emotions that disturbed him. Searching for the best way to explain it to her and finally blurting out the words as something inside him pressed him to.

"Means that you are mine. Forever." At the mention of the two last words his eyes pulsed from gold to red and then back to gold. Her heart skipped a beat.

He stood up, leaving her on the ground. Her scent and her almost nude body affected him more that he thought. He needed to regain his composure.

" I should have tried to control my blood. Why nobody stopped me?" the guiltiness was eating him. Where were Miroku, Sango, and the stupid wolf? It was useless, he knew that even if they had tried to stop him, he would have killed them heartlessly.

"We got separated after you killed Naraku. I followed you" her tone was very low. Her hands gripped nervously the coat, trying to cover her as much as possible.

He looked at her in disbelief.

"Why did you do such a stupid thing?" he growled, his eyes hardened. He was mad. Angry with him.. and her. Kagome knew how dangerous he was when the seal of his blood was broken. He could have killed her. Well, maybe this was worse. She had walked straight into the beast's grasp. Literally.

She closed her eyes in shame. Her voice high pitched.

"I wanted to know if you were fine"

He turned as he remembered something; his shoulders slumped slightly.

"I guess the spell didn't work either"

Suddenly, Kagome gasped and her eyes widened as she watched horrified at him, fixing her gaze in the item around his neck. The small wooden beads seemed to mock her.

She had completely forgot about it. She lifted her hand to her mouth muffling an exclamation.

"It was my fault" breathed. Her eyes glazed as she realized the magnitude of her mistake. She had condemned Inuyasha to be with her forever, when he loved somebody else. She had had her first time with a youkai driven by instinct, by lust, who probably also looked at her as Kikyo. She could have stopped everything since the beginning with one simple word. What was left of her seemed to break at that moment.

He saw her face turned from white to deadly pale. The little spark in her eyes totally abandoned them leaving dull brown orbs. It worried him. She started mumbling incoherent words.

He called her name, but she didn't listen to him.

A wave of power, like an electric pulse traveled through his body. Pants broke from his chest as the strange feeling passed. He had to do something before his youkai side reappeared. His blood was very unstable.

He picked Kagome in his arms and ran to Kaede's hut.

Sango might be able to do something.
