Human Compensation

Kagome woke up to something soft, warm, and wet caressing her neck. She was suddenly aware of the heavy weight on her. She slowly opened her eyes to see Inuyasha draped half over her. His arms and legs were holding her down on the bed. His face was buried in neck. Kagome gasped when she felt his tongue licking gently on the pulse under her chin and purring softly. Her toes curled up. Inuyasha was licking a very sensitive area on her neck and she couldn’t stop the erotic feelings shooting down her body. Was he asleep?

“Inuyasha?” She tried to call his name, but it came out as a hoarse whisper. Every caress of his tongue was driving her crazy. She could barely think and the soft, purring, sound he was making, filled her ears, making her want to relax and enjoy the feelings he was causing.

‘Oh...this...is...interesting,’ she thought to herself as she tried to catch her breathe. Inuyasha was now moving slowly down her neck. His body moving over hers until he completely covered her. ‘I’m being seduced by a very good-looking hanyou who I’ve always been attracted to for a long time, while he’s asleep! This is not the way I wanted it to happen!’ She moaned a little when she felt him gently nip her delicate skin with his fangs, then lap over the area. His warm, wet, tongue sending shivers down her spine. He kept doing the same thing, biting her gently, not enough to hurt, but enough for her to feel his teeth on her, then licking over skin. As good as it felt, she was beginning to get a little nervous. She was afraid to wake him, what if she startled him and he bit her for real? Those fangs of his felt razor sharp, he’d kill her if he actually attacked her. She waited until he moved down from her neck and onto her upper chest. She could feel his hands moving over her shirt, his claws tearing the material, as he buried his head in the opening of her shirt, his mouth dangerously close to one of her breasts. This had to stop.

“Inuyasha!” She yelled, using her free arm to grab hand full of his white hair and yank his head up.

Inuyasha woke up with a painful yelp! He’d been having a wonderful dream that he was about to mate with Kagome. He could almost smell her arousal. He froze when he found himself staring into her lovely, dark, brown eyes. He gulped when he became aware that he was laying on top of her in a very intimate position.

“Inuyasha, stop staring at me and get off, you’re heavy,” Kagome said, trying to push him off of her.

He slowly climbed off her, noticing the bite marks on her neck and upper chest, and the rip in her pajama top.

Kagome’s face was flushed as she stared back at him. “Just what do you think you were doing?”

Inuyasha sniffed the air, a smug smile slowly spread across his face. “Did I frighten you?” He asked.

“Not really, I guess you were having some kind of dream,” Kagome said.

“I was. Guess who was in it?”

Kagome eyes widen in surprise.

“I really wished you hadn’t woke me, Kagome. I was really enjoying it and it seems like you were too.”

“What?” Kagome asked, her face turning redder. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. How can I enjoy someone taking advantage of me while I’m asleep?” She held her head up as she climbed off the bed and walked into the bathroom.

Inuyasha watched her slam the door, the light, sweet, scent of her arousal lingering in the air. It was a smell he could get addicted too. His claws raked against the bed tearing the delicate sheets in his sexual frustration. Damn! He wanted her! There was nothing stopping him from walking straight through that door and joining her in the shower, he thought as he listened to water running. Her natural scent floated through the crack of the door into the room. He inhaled deeply. Growling to himself, he got up and left to take a very, very, cold shower in his own room.

Kagome came out later wearing a pretty summer dress with spaghetti straps. Inuyasha couldn’t help but stare at her as she walked around the apartment. She’d worn a dress like that before, except it had been a different color. He secretly loved to see her in it. It showed off her smooth, bare, shoulders and long, shapely, legs. Her hair was loose and hung down her back like black silk. He wondered if Kagome knew how beautiful she was. He hated to go anywhere public with her because of the way guys stared at her when they passed by and he couldn’t leave her alone for a second before some lustful pervert came up to her to ask her out. Humans were attracted to her beauty, but the demons in the city were attracted to her beauty and scent. Her sweet, scent drew them to her like flies, even if they hadn’t seen her, they smelled her when she passed by, and they came out of their hiding places or buildings just to get a look at her. And Kagome, walked pass them in a world of her own, naive to what was going on around her. Pretty much like she was doing now.

Inuyasha watched her with a smirk. “Kagome, you do know we need to talk, right?” He asked her as she passed by him carrying a vase of flowers.

She carefully sat it on the dining room table. “I know,” she sighed, sniffing the flowers.

“Then you need to come in here.”

Kagome started toward him when they heard a knock on the door. Kagome smiled, “that’s probably Shippou.”

“It’s not just Shippou,” Inuyasha said, getting up to open the door.

Miroku, Sango, and Shippou stood in the doorway. Shippou pushed past Inuyasha and walked straight toward Kagome. He stared at her with pleading eyes.

“Kagome, are you okay?” He acted as if he was almost afraid to ask.

Kagome gave him an encouraging smile. “I’m fine, Shippou,” she said.

“Do...do you hate me?” He asked, his voice trembling a little.

Kagome sighed. “No, Shippou, I don’t hate you.”

“So you still like me?” He asked, looking at her hopefully.

“Of course, I do. I just don’t like what’s happened.”

Kagome suddenly found herself in a tight hug. Shippou had wrapped his arms around her and buried his face in the crook of her neck. “I’m so sorry, Kagome. I really am! Thank you for forgiving me. I was so worried. I couldn’t sleep last night.”

“I’m okay, Shippou. I guess I can’t really blame you. It was my grandfather who got me and my family involved. You actually saved my family.” Kagome patted him on his back affectionately.

Inuyasha and the others stood back watching. “So does that mean you forgive us too?” Sango asked quietly.

Kagome stared at her. It was hard to believe her friend was working for the mafia. “Yes, but you’ll have to tell me how you got involved in this Sango.”

She nodded.

Inuyasha was watching Shippou with a calm, almost smug expression. Kagome was surprised that he hadn’t tried to pull him off of her like usual.

Shippou suddenly pulled away from her, he stared at her neck and sniffed. “Hey! Why do you smell like Inuyasha! And what’s his teeth prints doing on you? You let him mark you!!??” Shippou asked in shock.

Kagome looked at him in confusion. She looked at Sango who suddenly found the floor very interesting, then at Miroku who suddenly found the ceiling interesting, then at Inuyasha who was staring back with a huge smirk on his face. She ran into the bathroom.

He winced and chuckled to himself when he heard her yell. “Inuyasha! What’s the meaning of this? What the heck did you do to me?”

Sango glared at him and left to console Kagome.

Miroku gave Inuyasha a sly look. “Marking her yours, huh? Have you mated with her, yet?”

“No,” Inuyasha said.

“And you never will! She’s my girlfriend you mutt!” Shippou said.

“Dream on, squirt!” Inuyasha said, flopping down on the couch and throwing his hands behind his head.

“I’m curious, how did you do that without Kagome knowing?” Miroku asked.

“Well, I wasn’t really aware I was doing it until she woke me up. She was having a nightmare and I ended up sleeping with her in her bed.”

“I see,” Miroku said. “I wish there was a way I could do the same to Sango.” He grinned.

Kagome rushed out of the bedroom intending to do some major harm to Inuyasha. One side of her neck was covered with his teeth prints. She hadn’t seen them when she took a shower; they must have just appeared. Sango had explained to her that the teeth marks on her neck was Inuyasha’s way of claiming her for his future mate.

Inuyasha tried to get away from her before she jumped on him, but she was faster than he expected. Kagome had her hands around his neck banging his head against the back of the sofa.

“You!”

*Bang!*

“Barbaric!”

*Bang!*

“Male!”

*Bang!*

“Chauvinistic!”

*Bang!*

“Animal!”

“I never gave you permission to make me yours. I do not belong to you! You haven’t even asked me out on a date and all of a sudden I’m your ....

“Bitch?” Inuyasha said and wished he hadn’t when she banged his head against the couch harder and more violently.

“Um...Kagome you don’t really want to kill him, do you?” Sango asked hesitantly.

“Go ahead Kagome, you have my blessings,” Shippou said, sitting beside Inuyasha and smiling, gleefully.

“Kagome, Inuyasha have saved your life,” Miroku pointed out.

Kagome sighed and stopped. “I’m not hurting him, you all know it. I’ve seen him get thrown against a car and stand up without a scratch, big lug head.” She said, getting off of him.

“Hey! That did hurt, bitch!” Inuyasha said, rubbing the back of his head.

Kagome sent him a glare that could have set him on fire if she had the power.

“Inuyasha, maybe you should stop using that word,” Sango said.

Inuyasha stood up and stood over Kagome who was sitting on the couch rubbing her fingers through Shippou’s hair as he laid his head in her lap.

“You’re my bitch! You got that?!” Inuyasha yelled, pointing his finger in her face. “Sesshoumaru gave you to me!”

Kagome jumped up causing Shippou to fall to the floor. “What?! Is that how you see me as some kind of object or gift giving to you? I’m a human being, dog boy! Nobody gives me to anyone! Stop treating me like I’m some kind of possession of yours.” Kagome stomped away.

“Come back here, bitch! I haven’t finished with you, yet!” Inuyasha yelled after her as she made her way to her room. “Don’t even think about running away or I’ll tie you to your bed!”

“Hmm, that’s an enticing picture,” Miroku said, rubbing his chin.

Sango slapped him on the back of his head.

“Ow...Sango, my love, I was just kidding,” he said, laughing nervously.

She glared at him. “I’m not your love. You, Houshi, don’t love anyone, but yourself.” She turned to Inuyasha,”I’m going to talk to Kagome and explain everything to her about the mafia. You’ll only make her angry.”

The three guys watch her walk away.

“She may take a while,” Miroku said, reaching in his back pocket. “Who’s up for poker?”
