The Love of Brothers

Hi everyone, this chapter is a little longer, I have the next two days off and I am HOPING but NOT PROMISING to complete the story by then. You guys are wonderful and because of your support and reading I have several more stories on the way... I hope that you will also read them and enjoy them. Rawben here is my almost all-niter for you LoL :)

Chapter Nineteen

Kagome woke panting and covered in sweat. She sat bolt upright in bed, gasping. Sesshoumaru had woke about an hour before, content to watch her sleep. Her sleep he noticed of late was not restful. She had been plagued with nightmares for nearly a week now. Her eyes reflected her weariness and he was not pleased. He asked about her dreams but she rarely recalled them. He had even used his power to try and delve into her dreams. He was given scattered images and little else.

He suspected it was her family, but the two children were very obviously demon. He had told Inuyasha what he knew and the soft white ears on his brother's head drooped. "I don't know what we can do for her." He mumbled, "I thought if I gave her a pup that her heart would be happier here."

Sesshoumaru eyed his brother, "I thought this too. Twice now I have tried giving her a pup." Inuyasha glanced back over his shoulder to the bed where Kagome was sleeping. Sesshoumaru followed his gaze, "Any word on Naraku from your late night patrol?" Of course he knew there wasn't, Inuyasha would have told immediately if he'd found anything. He would go and seek out an old mountain witch tomorrow, she might be able to help him unravel these dreams.

Hours later, sunlight hit her eye lids and Kagome groaned, rolling away from it. The movement caused her stomach to turn and she grasped the sheets panting for breath. She heard the door open and sensed Inuyasha. Inuyasha was nibbling the remains of his breakfast and he came to sit beside her. Kagome caught the scent of the meat and bolted from the bed.

"Kagome?" he called as she passed him. She slammed the bathroom door shut and he could hear the pitiful sounds of retching. He was about to beat the door down when her whimpers reached his ears. She made broken sounds as though she would speak and was overcome with illness again.

Inuyasha did the only thing left to do… he tore down the hall to find his brother. Sesshoumaru had been instructing his men in a new sword technique, when his name was shouted. Glancing up he saw Inuyasha lean over the railing, eyes wide. He looked irritated by the intrusion, but Inuyasha's words stopped anything he might say. "It's Kagome."

Sesshoumaru, for once hated the sheer size of his home. It was taking far too long to reach her, he snapped orders at servants as he went. Was she really ill? Perhaps it was his fault. He had taken her in the snow after all, that had been almost a week ago. He sure as hell hoped not.

Kagome was kneeling near the basin, her body pale and covered with sweat. She shivered and barely held herself up on weak arms. She was whimpering, the damp hair of her curtain hung down hiding her face. She didn’t even move when the door was flung wide, admitting to the two worried demons.

They smelled blood and sickness and it terrified Inuyasha. He made to rush to her but Sesshoumaru held him back. The demon lord recalled something his father had once said about Izayoi during her pregnancy, she had been sick every morning for a month, often throwing up bits of blood in the process. He had worried and always kept Tenseiga ready but as fast as it had begun it had ended and her body began to show the swell of motherhood the very next month.

Peering over her shoulder, he confirmed that the amount of blood was not threatening. Inuyasha tossed him a damp cloth and he caught it easily, moving her hair from her face so he would wipe her brow. Her teeth chattered and she shivered. "Bring me a glass of water Inuyasha." Sessh told him and the younger appeared a second later with it.

Kagome accepted it with shaking hands and he had to steady the glass for her. She drank small sips and then rinsed her mouth out. Sesshoumaru put his arm around her and she leaned weakly against him. He scooped her up and stood, striding back to the bed and settling her gently.

"What did you eat?" Inuyasha asked her and she shook her head. Sessh smiled down at her looking quite pleased with himself. "You are happy that I am sick?" she croaked. He nodded slowly. Her eyes widened and then narrowed. Inuyasha looked at his brother in confusion. "What?"

Sesshoumaru sat beside her on the bed, "It is this Sesshoumaru's opinion that you are carrying a child Kagome." His soft voice fell like glass in the silence. Inuyasha's eyes widened. A pup!? Kagome raised nervous eyes to them then, her hand moving over her stomach in a protective gesture that made them want to smile. She licked her dry lips and forced out the question screaming in her mind at the moment, "Wh-who's?"

Inuyasha raised his brow and looked at Sesshoumaru. Who's indeed. Sesshoumaru looked at her steadily, "It doesn't matter who the father is, the child will be heir to this domain." Kagome nodded, "Does that mean that we don't know, won't know?" Inuyasha shook his head, he was not full demon true, but he knew that even as a half demon he would have been able to tell his pups from others. "We'll know Kagome."

She nodded again, "When?" she asked. Sesshoumaru smiled and leaned closer. "Right now." Kagome met his golden gaze, what was that there lurking in those eyes? Sesshoumaru framed her still flat stomach with his large hands, claws moving delicately to part her robes. She watched as he pressed his ear to her and listened intently. His brow furrowed for a moment. There was a heart beat there, a strong one. It seemed to echo with it's strength. This was most likely his child then.

He lifted his head to rest his chin against her, and growled softly. Kagome gasped when she felt something pulse inside of her. He raised his eyes to meet hers, and growled again. The pulse came stronger this time as if answering the sound with a challenge of it's own. His child would respond to him in such a way, but to make certain he called Inuyasha over.

Inuyasha repeated the process, if the child were Sesshoumaru's it would not respond to him. They'd know for certain in a moment. He lowered his head and growled softly to the unborn child. He sat bolt upright at the pulse that surged from her. "It answered." He said, "Your pup answered me!"

Sesshoumaru sat silent for a moment, at length he spoke. "It is rare, but has happened that two males are seen as the father of a single pup. The pup will take both, carries the scent of both. There are very specific conditions that must be met for such a thing to happen, but it appears they were met here."
Kagome turned her face to him, "Does this upset you Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha?" she asked in a small voice. Sesshoumaru shook his head, "No it pleases me greatly. I will have this pup regardless." He told her. Inuyasha was not as disciplined, he lifted Kagome off the bed and spun her around. "Stop it," she barked at him, "I might throw up on you!" He set her down and kissed her brow, "You have a pup!" he whispered excitedly.

They had ushered her back to bed and made her rest a few more hours. She wasn't going to complain about it. She stroked her hand over her stomach. A baby, she was going to have a baby. What would her mother say? She'd probably do a bonsai dance in the kitchen and start shopping. The thought made Kagome smile even as her eyes welled with tears. Again the faint pulse moved through her and she covered the flesh with her palm. "Don't worry little love, you've made me so happy."

Inuyasha could barely concentrate all day. He was trying very hard not to go back up to her and just lay there talking to the pup. He knew that the child would not have to endure the pain he had, he'd kill anything that upset his pup. He wanted Kagome and that child more than anything and he was determined to be a good father.

Sesshoumaru seemed to be taking it all in stride, he had already summoned several crafters. Nursery items were already commissioned. His old nursery was being opened and aired and given a thorough scrubbing. He had sent word for Sango to come as soon as she could. Kagome would no doubt want a woman with when the time came and he knew she'd be emotional in the time between.

As happy as he was, there was something strange about this child. It carried a strange scent, that while was definitely of his bloodline, it almost seemed to shift at times. It's heartbeat was enormous, resounding. He prayed that the child would not try to be born in true form. With a human mother such a thing would be deadly and nearly impossible.

The pup would at the very least be half demon…..they didn't transform. He'd watch her, make sure she took no risks and this mystery would be revealed to him. He wondered if he could b e half the father his own had been. In this at least, Sesshoumaru intended to surpass his father.


As the days went by Kagome almost got used to the horrible puke sessions in the morning. Her body was changing and she could feel it, she liked her meat rare now and while she grimaced at first, the others seemed to understand. The child was demon and a predator. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha made certain that the kitchens were full of fresh game. This first month would be the hardest until the birthing.

As her pregnancy progressed, her dreams worsened. Her mother weeping, her brother angry, her grandfather dying. She fought to recall the dreams when she woke. The mountain witch said that it was her family crying out to her from the well and Kagome had fled the room in tears. Sesshoumaru wanted to kill the old woman but he had sent for her and she only gave what she thought was the cause. He had her removed from the castle. He had no idea that she had been paid quite well to say these things.

Inuyasha had followed Kagome to the library and was trying to calm her. "Kagome, we will find out about the well I promise, it will take time is all." She glared across the room at him, her physical and emotional discomfort making her lash out at those she saw as directly responsible. "You don't care about that well!" She shouted at him.

She stomped around the room, "You always hated that well. How many times did you try to seal it Inuyasha?" she demanded. She was right of course, he hated the well with a passion and had tried several times to seal it and keep her with him. "So what?" he shot back, "You belonged here with me. Every time you left I was left to wonder if you'd really come back!"

She huffed and turned to the window, her anger dissipating as fast as it had come. "And now I am trapped here." He hated it when she phrased it like that. "Would you have stayed if you had a choice?" he asked, "Would you have done this?" She didn't look at him. "Yes," she said finally, "Given the choice I would have." Inuyasha felt a pang of relief. "But now you'll never know that for sure." She went on, "That I was willing to give up everything to stay with you."

It was a sacrifice she would have made willing, but she had wanted him to know that. To somehow prove to him the value he held. Well he had value now. Lord of the West. "Are you unhappy here?" he asked softly. Kagome tried to think of the best way to answer, "Right now…yes I am Inuyasha." He thought his heart might break at her words, but she went on heedless of his pain, "There is a lot that I left undone in my own time. Things that needed to be said. It's those things that keep my happiness from being full. Do you understand?"

He nodded. Oh he understood all right, and he had no idea how to help her at present. He turned and left the library walking with swift steps to his brother's study. Sesshoumaru looked up when the door opened. "How is she?" he asked. Inuyasha shook his head, "She has to go home." Sessh blinked up at him.
"She has to go home Sesshoumaru." He said again, more forcefully this time. The elder resumed his writing, "That is not possible." Inuyasha slammed his hands down on the desk making the ink bottles jump. "Then make it possible!" he snapped, "I can't do this. I can't see her like this." Sesshoumaru snarled at him, leaping to his feet, "You think I can? Think I like seeing her tears, seeing her mope through these halls like damnable ghost?"

Inuyasha was taken aback by this outburst. Sesshoumaru pointed to the window, "All of Japan!" he roared, "I rule all of Japan. I am the strongest demon to live since our father, I am unbeatable there is nothing that I cannot have! Yet I cannot give my mate the one thing that would bring her peace! One thing! My men have scoured the mountains and the forests for the missing key, you hunted the beast down and still I come to her without victory!"

Sesshoumaru looked almost defeated, his shoulder slumped as he took his seat again. "Let her test the well." Inuyasha said quietly. Sesshoumaru stiffened. "No." Inuyasha glowered at him, "Why not?" Sesshoumaru growled, "Because to test it she would purify any demon aura she found there. That would include the pup Inuyasha. Is that what you want?"

Inuyasha looked at the floor, he hadn’t thought of that. "Damn it." A thought occurred to him then, "Let me test it." Sesshoumaru looked at him confusion, "You are not a miko Inuyasha, you are a demon. You cannot purify it." Inuyasha nodded, "I know that. If Kagome fires a sacred arrow into the well when I jump in, I can relay the backlash wave to purify any demons attached to the well."

Sesshoumaru pondered this for a moment, "And you Inuyasha?" Inuyasha had done this before, but never in a closed area. Would he make it back out? "Feh, I'll be fine." He said on a bored voice. Sesshoumaru considered it. "I will go along. If you die in that well, I fear she may resurrect you merely to purify you to nothingness." Inuyasha nodded.

They gathered around the well the following day and Kagome watched as Inuyasha climbed to the lip of the well. She wasn't sure about this. "Inuyasha?" she asked, but he shook his head. "It'll be all right Kagome, just shoot the arrow." Sesshoumaru watched as she fired the arrow, her body pulling into a perfect line as she set herself, then with a cry she released the arrow, and Inuyasha followed the large swirl of light into the darkness. She saw the bright light of the backlash and covered her eyes only to feel Sesshoumaru's body curling around hers like a shield.

There was a deep rumbling and Kagome thought the well was collapsing on Inuyasha. She opened her eyes to see a huge vent of dust moving skyward and then the sputtering cough of Inuyasha as he pulled himself out of the well. He was dirty but unharmed as far as she could tell. He looked up at Sesshoumaru, "Nothing there." He rasped, spitting out some dirt.

Sesshoumaru leaned over the side of the well, sniffing. There was no longer any scent of Naraku here, no ominous aura and cutting his eyes to the right he saw that she knew this too. "So I can go home now?" she asked. He growled, he wasn't about to trust this well. "No, you can't go alone." She was about to argue but Inuyasha ended it quickly, "Great. When do we leave?"



Settled as it was, Sesshoumaru could not help but be displeased. It seemed that only Inuyasha and Kagome could pass through the well. While Inuyasha sensed nothing inside the well, that make it safe. Worry for Kagome on the pup weighed heavily on him. Kagome seemed oblivious, chattering happily to Sango and Rin and promising to bring them all something from the modern era.

He sulked in the corner and pretended indifference. Inuyasha, more attune to well hidden feelings moved to his side. "What's eatin you?" Sesshoumaru turned smoldering eyes to him, "Tell me Inuyasha…. What will you do if the well is a trap?" Inuyasha huffed, "Fight of course. No way is Naraku getting Kagome or the baby."

Sessh looked over his shoulder to stare out the window, "And tell me, what will you do if she refuses to return?" The thought had just occurred to him and he didn't like it. Inuyasha shook his head, "That won't be a problem" he pressed on when Sessh arched a brow, "But if there are problems, I will simply make her come back." Sesshoumaru thought that was a most arrogant thing to say, considering that Kagome still held power over the dog-eared man, but said nothing. She would want to come back wouldn't she?

Kagome was more than happy at the moment, Inuyasha had finally admitted he loved her. Of course she had made him angry and he had yelled to the furthest reaches of the halls that it was only that love that kept him from doing something. He wasn't sure what that was, but he assured it was most likely very unpleasant. Kagome had launched herself, laughing into his arms. Inuyasha's anger had melted like snow under her warm smile. "You are supposed to worry about the punishment." He remarked to her with amusement in his voice.

Kagome had leaned up and placed a sweet kiss against his lips, "I'm not afraid of you. Especially now." She told him with a meaningful pat to her stomach. He rolled his eyes heavenward and groaned, "Great." He muttered, "There'll be no stopping her now."

Sesshoumaru had watched with envy that his brother could at last admit his feelings. It had made Kagome so happy. He, himself cared greatly for her…he adamantly stood by the fact that demons didn't love….but deep inside he knew better.

Watching her prepare for her journey home, he wondered if perhaps he should tell her of his feelings before she left. But then, why should he? Didn't his every action dictate that fact? He cared for her, protected her, provided for her, pleasured her, gave her a pup. For Kami's sake he had mated and marked her. It should have been enough to show her worth in his eyes. Did it though? Human women and demon women were so vastly different.

Turning from the small crowd of people he wandered back to his chambers. He was intently rifling through his belongings looking for a small chest. Kagome stood in the doorway. Usually, he would have caught her scent by now but he seemed almost preoccupied. When she saw him stiffen, she knew that per presence had been noted.

"Sesshoumaru," she said softly, coming t stand behind him, "What is it?". He felt her small arms wrap around him as she pressed her body against his back. She rubbed her cheek against him and he allowed himself to close his eyes for a moment and enjoy her embrace.

She held him this way for several minutes and they said nothing. She held him, he braced his arms against his tall cabinet. His head bowed slightly. At long last he spoke, "I… I worry for you Kagome." He managed to say before she slipped to his front. "I worry for you and the pup, this is much too convenient."

Her small hand crept up to cup his cheek, her eyes swam with tenderness. Leaning up on her toes, she pressed a kiss to his chin, "I know. Inuyasha will be with me, we'll be fine. I promise." She leaned her head against his chest, "I wish that you were coming with us." He curled one arm around her. So did he….so did he.

He reached to the top shelf and pulled down the small chest. "This…is for you." He said slowly, "It was my mother's. When my father was away from her, I was often restless in the womb. When she wore this I was calm. Demon children are often like this. This will soothe the pup while you are gone." He handed her a thin golden chain on which hung a pale blue crystal. When she touched it, the stone pulsed softly. A calming sensation stole over her and she smiled.

"Thank you Sesshoumaru, it's beautiful." She whispered. Sesshoumaru set it around her neck, "Like the two women whom it has served." He said in a hushed voice. Kagome felt tears prick her eyes and hugged him tightly. His hand moved to cup the back of her head beneath her hair. "Hurry and go." He told her then.

He watched them vanish down the well, Kagome held tightly against Inuyasha, Tetsusaiga drawn against danger. The light seemed to devour them and the demon lord stood rooted to the spot for a very long time. Sango watched him, motionless save for the sway of his hair. He stood, an ice prince among the gleam of pristine whiteness and subdued forest hues. He was sad and she knew it. She was no fool, she had seen him emerge from his self inflicted loneliness when Kagome first came to him.

She was still nervous around him, but she no longer feared him. He knew that too. "It is cold for humans out here Slayer." He said without looking at her, "Go back to your home where you will be warm." Sango sighed and nodded, "You should accompany me." She blurted out, "It will be several hours before they return. At least have some tea or something to eat."

His face tilted skyward, "Thank you Sango but I require nothing that you offer. Return to your home and husband before you take cold." His words held no rebuke. She sighed sadly, it was no use arguing with him. "Well if you get sick I don't want to hear about it." She told him, "Besides Kagome will be upset if anything happens to you."

He turned emotionless eyes to her, inside he was incredulous. "This Sesshoumaru does not fall to the elements." He reminded her. She smiled slightly and bowed to him. "If you change your mind then." They both knew that he would not but she left the invitation open as she trudged through the snow and away from him.

Kagome opened her eyes when Inuyasha touched down the opposite side the well. "Are we home?" she asked from against his chest. "Yeah, it smells that way." He told her. Modern Tokyo was far too busy and had way too many scents moving around for him to be happy.

Kagome pulled from him and left the well house, hurrying across the courtyard. "Mom! Gramps! Souta!" she called out as she ran. Inuyasha leaned against the well house door a moment longer. A scent reached him and he looked down at the cat who was eyeing him critically. Inuyasha locked eyes with Buyo, "Hey." He said. The cat turned up it's nose and wandered after Kagome, the demon not worthy of his attention. Inuyasha supposed he still wasn't forgiven for teasing the fat creature so many times.

Mrs Higurashi was carrying groceries up the steps when she heard a familiar voice. "Mom?!" She held very still, "Kagome?" she whispered. Then her daughter ran across her line of vision and she dropped her bags. "Kagome!"

Inuyasha watched the tearful reunion for several minutes before making himself known. Kagome's mother stared at him, did she blame him for Kagome being gone so long? "Inuyasha dear, it's so good to see you again." She said softly, moving to embrace the demon, "I've missed you too." He let his arms move around her. "It's nice to see you." He told her. She ushered them inside and of course started the ramen cooking for Inuyasha. She poured tea for all of them and then sat down at the table. "Tell me everything." She commanded.

For the next hour Kagome explained events to her, Inuyasha piping up now and then to add tidbits. Her mother had been most surprised to find that they were now married, and that Sesshoumaru was also in the equation. "You have two husbands Kagome and you're having a baby?" she asked. Kagome nodded, her cheeks pink as she stared at the table. Inuyasha noticed her discomfort and spoke, "In my time, that is not uncommon. Many demon houses do it."

Mrs Higurashi eyed him for a moment, "You know that in this time that such a thing is frowned upon, and with two brothers no less." Inuyasha felt a small growl bubble up from him throat, "Well we aren't living in your time and it was the only way to keep bloodshed from happening. I love her, he loves her, she loves us. Don't make her feel bad about it."

Mrs Higurashi smiled softly, "I'm sorry Inuyasha, I didn't mean it like that. I can accept whatever she does to be happy, but you may want to be careful what you say around others. That was all I meant." Inuyasha huffed and folded his arms. Kagome leaned against him and smiled at her mother. "I've really missed you mom."

Mrs Higurashi wanted them to stay the night and shop for some things in the morning. Inuyasha suspected that Sesshoumaru wouldn't like it but he took one look at Kagome's pleading expression and gave it. Besides, if Sessh knew about ramen, he'd stay too!

Mrs Higurashi left a little while later. Souta was visiting cousins across town and she'd be spending the night there. They'd be back in the morning. That left Inuyasha and Kagome alone in the house and Kagome wanted a hot bath. Inuyasha flipped through channels on the television and wondered what as taking so long.

Kagome soaked in the bathtub and sighed, the room was so much smaller than her bathing chamber. She ducked her head to rinse the shampoo out and sighed. The door opened and she looked over to see Inuyasha slip into the room, "You asleep in here? What's takin so long?" he demanded, "Hey what's the sad face? I thought you wanted to come home." Kagome nodded, "Yeah, I know. But..well I miss Sessh and Rin. Let's hurry and shop tomorrow so we can go back ok?" Inuyasha smiled down at her, holding a towel up for her, "Sure."

Once dry, she snuggled into bed. Inuyasha was still drying his own hair but he soon grumbled about it being a bother. Kagome sat up and motioned him over to the side of the bed. He sat beside it as she fumbled with the plug and turned the blow dryer on again. He rarely let anyone mess with his hair but he knew she liked too. He closed his eyes as she combed through the mass and dried it.

He heard the noisy thing click off and she pulled her brush through his hair gently. She was always careful of his ears, which made him smile. She shifted behind him on the bed and he heard her feet hit the floor. His eyes opened when she knelt before him, reaching up to lightly caress his ears. Bracing her hands on his strong shoulders she raised herself to lick along the line of fur on each one.

His hands grasped her tightly when she gently bit down on one, breathing a soft moan into it. Inuyasha felt himself harden and groaned. "I love your ears Inuyasha." She whispered. Inuyasha ran his hands along her back as she made slow love to the furry triangles. "Kagome, " he rasped, "I want you." She chuckled and moved away from him. "Lock the door." She whispered. Inuyasha stood and hurried to do what she asked. When he turned back around she was right in front of him, pushing him against the door. His eyes went wide a moment, Kagome was being aggressive and he liked it.

"So you want me?" she asked with a small smile curving her lips. He nodded crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back against the door. Kagome's eyes glittered wickedly, "Let's see how much." She quipped. She undid the tie holding his pants up and let them drop to the floor. Inuyasha was stark naked now, his arousal growing at the scent of her and the actions.

Kagome pressed nipping kisses to his chest, teasing his nipples with her tongue. Inuyasha clasped her waist, drawing her more firmly against him. Kagome pushed away from him, "No touching!" she told him in a harsh whisper and he stared wide eyed at her. What the hell?

"If you touch me again before I tell you to, then you will be in trouble." She instructed. Inuyasha stood stock still, not sure what to do, but definitely liking it. "Fine." He said at last, "You can play for now, but remember you're my bitch and turn about is fair play."

Kagome laughed, delighted and continued to kiss along his flesh. He was so handsome, his body cut with hard muscles. Velvet tanned perfection made for a woman's fantasies and she had quite a few of her own to play out tonight.

Inuyasha groaned when her hot tongue circled his navel. His hands twitched and Kagome shoved them down against the door. "No… touching Inuyasha." She growled. She took his length in her hand and stroked the hot flesh with gentle fingers. Inuyasha gritted his teeth, fighting the urge to throw her on the bed and ravish her thoroughly.

"Do you like this Inuyasha?" she cooed, kneeling before him as she was now, she looked up through her lashes. She blew across his flesh and his manhood twitched as though trying to reach her. "Hmmm, " she went on rising to her feet, "Lets see what we have around here."

Inuyasha stood against the door, heart pounding as Kagome dug in her drawer and pulled out a tube of lipstick. She rarely wore makeup, a trait that he liked after seeing some of the women in her time. She slowly rolled the lipstick upwards in the tube. It was bright red. She looked in the mirror and put it on. Inuyasha could only watch as she moved the bright cream in slow sensual circles around her mouth. He hated that tube right now.

She turned back to him and smiled, "Now…where were we?" She knelt again, running her hands up his inner thighs, lifting the fleshy sacks lightly. "You're dirty tonight." He remarked in a rough voice. Kagome scratched her nails along his stomach making him hiss, "How dirty would you like me to be Inuyasha?" she coaxed. Inuyasha felt light headed, pressing his claws into her door, he smirked, "Very."

She attacked his groin, giving him long wet licks up his thighs, her nails scoring his hips. Inuyasha had always liked things a little rough and she was more than willing to oblige right now. She ran her tongue across his balls and he closed his eyes with a moan. Red lips, bright red, wet, hot lips. Tucking her head, she wriggled her tongue behind them to rub against the sensitive ridge there. Inuyasha's hands hot into her hair and she jerked backwards.

"Bad dog!" she said, and Inuyasha felt his ears clamp down at her tone. She strode over to the bed, looking very inch in charge and pointed to it. "Lie down…now." Inuyasha obeyed, inwardly cursing the woman who was setting him afire at the moment. "Close your eyes."

Inuyasha felt something silky slide across his face, but before he could react Kagome had blindfolded him with a scarf she kept tied with others at her bedpost. "Feh. I don't need to use my eyes to know where you are Kagome." He reminded her, feeling quite smug. Kagome had a smirk of her own, from the shelf she took a small jar of menthol rub she used for colds.

"Oh I know that Inuyasha." She told him and he had only a hint of what was to come as she lifted the lid and the scent assailed him. She dabbed it under his nose and he swore softly. All he smelled was that crap she'd put on him. He felt her take his hands one by one and cuff him to the sturdy bed. Well, he thought, I did ask for dirty.

Kagome had dragged a very long, very soft feather plume from her closet and now stood at the bedside. Inuyasha was far from helpless and could slip his restraints with minimal effort. Slowly she brought the feather down in teasing caress against his skin. She loved being dominant from time to time, and she was almost panting as she tortured her lovely demon.

Inuyasha growled at her warningly, his need for more sensation growing. She slipped to his side on the bed. "I'm going to oil you up now, Inuyasha. You seem tense." Inuyasha felt the somewhat cool drizzle of liquid across his chest and stomach before her hands came down on him. She smoothed the oil into his skin, the faint of strawberries reached him through the menthol.

Her hands strayed downwards to his hardness again and it leapt at her touch. She wrapped her hand around him and squeezed. Behind the blindfold, his eyes closed tightly. She saw the muscle in his jaw tick and began to pump him, hard. His hips were soon bucking against her hand, and she smirked as she slid her other hand between her own legs, teasing her bud.

"You like this as much as I do Kagome, I can smell you." Inuyasha grated. Kagome slid her hands from his shaft to stroke that ridge again. "Tell me Inuyasha," she asked in a husky voice she barely knew as her own, "What would Sessh do if he were here instead of me? Hmmm? Share your secrets with me."

Inuyasha cried out as her mouth suddenly crashed down on him, moving him easily to the back of her throat with the help of the flavored oil. He strained slightly against the restraints as she sucked him, her tongue swirling. "I-I want to see Kagome." He moaned. Kagome paused her actions, "See what?" Inuyasha tugged at his cuffs, "I want to see you, I want to see you swallow me."

Kagome supposed she could let him, reaching up, she tugged the scarf away and went back to work. Inuyasha groaned and grunted as she bobbed on him. Her tongue teasing the slit, her hand pressing against the ridge. She moaned and hummed along his length and Inuyasha was mindless with need now, eyes pink.
"I know, I know." She soothed as she licked his length. "You want to come. I'll let you." She moved on him with hard fast strokes, then slowed as he arched off the bed. "Kagome… I need, I… I" he panted. Kagome hoped that what she was about to do wouldn’t bother him. His eyes were closed and he didn't see her pour more oil on her hand as she sucked him. Slowly, as though testing, she slid her hand between his legs.

Inuyasha now had an idea what she intended to do and that was fine with him. He wanted release and he wanted it now. His body was covered with a fine sheen of sweat as she teased him with those colorful lips to the point of orgasm and then backed him off. His beast was snarling and Inuyasha himself was reduced to whimpers.

He spread his legs a little wider to encourage her, and moaned when he felt her soft fingers brush against his entrance. She rubbed against it and drew her mouth to his tip, slamming back down. "Kagome… yeah, do that." He told her. She rubbed a little harder in time with her mouth, and when she felt him stiffen inside her, she plunged two fingers high inside of him.

Inuyasha screamed his release, his seed erupting with enough force to nearly choke her as she swallowed it down. She thrust into him and he writhed, her mouth slowing like her hand to milk the last of his pleasure. When she felt that he was soft, she slowly withdrew her fingers, causing him to moan and hiss and let his slide from her mouth. He was panting still, eyes still pink.

He growled suddenly and Kagome glanced up at his face. His fangs glinted when he smirked at her, "Better set me free before I tear this fuckin house down." He warned. She hurried to do as he said, maybe he was angry with her. "I'm sorry Inuyasha," she stammered, "I thought that you liked it." Inuyasha stalked her around the room when she backed away from him, "Oh I did like it Kagome, but it's me who dominates you. You had your fun, now for mine."

She stopped backing away, the wall stopped her. Inuyasha was on her now, pinning her to the wall with his body. His nose touching hers. "Remember when I took you in the alcove?" he asked in a growl, "I said I wouldn't take you like that, not there. But I will here."

Kagome felt his fangs graze her lips when he kissed her. She wondered if he meant what she thought he might. Inuyasha seemed to read her thoughts, "What's the matter Kagome? Are you afraid of me fucking you in the ass? Come on you're a big girl, Sessh broke you in. What's the matter?" he asked.

She shivered as he licked along her collarbone, "You are in bloodlust." She whispered to him. Pink eyes locked with clear, "I still wouldn’t hurt you." Kagome knew that, and her fears were swiftly being overcome by his touch. His claws clicked over her nipples and his hands fell to her waist, grasping and lifting her. "Inuyasha?" she asked as he slid her upwards against the wall. "Shut up." he growled.

When she was almost touch the ceiling he shrugged her thighs to his shoulders and buried his face against her. She cried out as he roughly caressed her with his tongue, fangs bumping against her. His rhythmic growling sending vibrations rushing through her. His hands cupped her bottom and Kagome could only shake and whimper as the silver head moved against her.

Inuyasha brought her to orgasm quickly and she screamed his name. He grunted lapping at her and took her to the bed. Grabbing the oil, he spread a liberal coat on himself. Kagome was on her knees before him. "Relax Kagome." He told her as he caressed the cleft of her ass. Kagome whimpered when he rubbed her, much the way she had done to him. Kagome was on fire, she didn't want to wait. "Inuyasha, now I want you now." She moaned.

Inuyasha sat against the headboard and lifted her to straddle his lap. Kagome moaned as he drew her to him, his tongue sliding into her mouth to lap at her gently. His hands on her hips positioned her above his erection. He lowered her slowly until he was pressed against her. He wanted to slam her down onto himself but he wouldn’t do that. So he gritted his teeth. "Go ahead Kagome."

Kagome let herself down and felt the pinch of protesting muscles, she whimpered and Inuyasha ran his tongue along her throat. He felt her shiver and growled, "I want you Kagome, I want to be inside you all the way now." She panted, "Take it Inuyasha." His eyes widened at her words, "Are you sure?" he asked and she nodded. He gripped her hips, "This is going to hurt a little then." Kagome wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her face to his cheek, "Dominate me Inuyasha, show me I'm your bitch."

Inuyasha snarled as he pulled her down on his length. Kagome's head fell back with a sharp cry, tears pricking at her eyes. Her whole body tightened around him and she shook from the sensation. Inuyasha might just as well of torn her apart. It was a strange pain, filling her with ache and longing.

Inuyasha held her tightly, his growls loud and his desire raging. Kagome forced herself to relax , slowly she lifted herself. She gasped feeling the familiar pressure and filled feeling. "Inuyasha move." She groaned and so he did, she bounced herself on him and he thrust up into her. "You like it?" he growled, "You like being my bitch?" Kagome moaned and cried out against him. His clawed hand moved to thumb against her clit and she writhed, grinding against him. Her release came quickly and she grunted with the sheer force of it. Inuyasha thought that was the sexiest sound he had ever heard, he bit deeply into her shoulder holding her as he came.

Kagome was still recovering when Inuyasha pulled himself from her and carried her to the bathroom. He set her in the tub and fiddled with the knobs. Soon the tub was filling with steaming water. He noticed a small amount of blood on his now soft manhood. "Are you ok Kagome?" he asked, kneeling down to peer into her face. Kagome threw herself up at him, kissing him wildly. "I'm fine. You were so good Inuyasha."

With a smirk he slid into the tub with her, to wash them both and then took her back to bed. She had no nightmares that night and seemed to sleep peacefully. His gaze roved over her sleeping form, catching on the pendant nestled between her breasts. He hadn't noticed it before. He supposed that Sesshoumaru had given it to her and frowned. He'd have some explaining to do when they got back.
