Far Away

Summary: Inuyasha has been waiting for Kagome to be born since she left four years after starting and finishing the quest for the jewel but lost her for three years before finding her in the Supermarket, but she is promised to another. What will he do and what are her feelings?

*Disclaimer: I do not Own Nickleback’s Far Away or Inuyasha… though I wish I did…*

Sigh… This story came to me in the car when I bought the Nickleback album to which this song is on called ALL THE RIGHT REASONS. I just listened to it once and it immediately came to me. So, please this is my first one-shot, so please R&R. Flames and any suggestions you wonderful writers have for me are very much welcome. I may do Photograph, I may not, I just need a plot for it.

Grrr. I can't upload the story so I had to cut and paste it but none of the bold comes out. (pouts)

Far Away by Chickadee01

He spied her in the deli area, her raven head searching through the meats. She seemed taller to him in the five hundred and seven years since he’d seen her. Her body had filled out more too. She seemed curvier, much curvier through the still short everyday skirt she wore and he could see her muscled legs. He always liked her legs, especially when she used to ride on his back through the forest in Sengoku Jidai. He badly wanted to catch a good whiff, but he could barely catch her scent from where he was. He closed his eyes when a particular strong whiff crossed his sensitive nose and relished the scent, despite the slight masculine tint to it.

He knew her age, knew she was twenty- one and almost out of college. He had kept up on the years and had counted down each year until Kagome was born and he saw it in the papers. He also kept count of how many years she was. It wasn’t fair for his over seven hundred years of hard study to her twenty-one. He sighed and watched her through his bangs.

Kagome had always been beautiful. He’d always thought that. But the Hanyou would never admit that aloud especially now when she was not only beautiful, but drop dead gorgeous. He watched as a little frown crossed her features as her cell phone rang. Her face lit up as she answered and his heart dropped as he glimpsed the huge rock on her finger. That rock meant one thing- engagement to a human.

(This time, This place/ Misused, Mistakes/ Too long, Too late/ Who was I to make you wait)

“Hey! Yeah… Sure, is that what we’re having for dinner? Uh-huh…. So my big hunky man is cooking for me? It’s a first!” He suppressed a growl and turned around to find the rest on his list. Sesshomaru would be waiting for him at home. But he didn’t want to think about his half- brother. Just seeing Kagome again made all the thoughts of his brother and the shopping job fly right out of his head. Inuyasha smirked and though, Sesshomaru is gonna freak when he finds out. She frowned again and said, “Hojo-kun…”

His breath went out in a hiss and growled, “Hobo? She is going with that guy?” He could remember each and every encounter with the persistent human boy and at that moment wanted to drag Kagome kicking and screaming to where he was and show that boy just who the Miko belonged to.

How he longed to mark her and make her his own. He remembered how much she loved him and how he was too young and stupid to show how much he loved her back. He grimaced when he thought of how he screwed his whole relationship with Kagome up with Kikyo and everything. He sighed and absently scratched his hanyou ear with a claw, it looking like he was scratching his head.

He turned around to stare at Kagome again. He just knew Kagome wouldn’t recognize him with the illusion spell on him. His ears, hair, eye color, claws and fangs were hidden and he looked human. He sighed and looked at his list and silently swore. Deli honey turkey, huh? He turned around and walked right up to the chatting woman and said a polite neutral, “Sumimasen, but can I get past you for a second?”

(Just one chance/ Just one breath/ Just in case there is one left/ ‘Cause you know, you know, you know)

She held up one finger and spoke into the phone, “Hojo-kun, can we settle this when I get home. It can’t be that important.” She waited and listened a moment and let out a hiss of breath. She growled out, “Hojo…” He cleared his throat, preparing to speak again to the distraught and angry woman when she looked up and froze when their eyes locked. She dropped her phone and it landed with a clang on the floor. He held his breath as she took a step closer to him and lifted her hand. Her eyes narrowed and glowed slightly pink as her hand lifted high to the top of his head. Her standing this close made his head spin. Her scent was so intoxicating. It took him forever to get over it when she was riding on his back and he could barely control himself around her whenever she was in heat. Judging by her scent it would be until another week.

“Nani?” he whispered. She said nothing, just reached up further until her breasts strained toward his chest. He growled at being in close contact and smell with her and it vibrated up the shelves slightly shaking the meat and cheese in their cases. “Onna,” he whispered roughly. He made a single sound, somewhere between a growl and a groan as her fingers found his hanyou ears on the top of his head. His eyes rolled to the back of his head and he wined, pushing his head toward her hand. She always knew where his one weakness was. It was why he never allowed her to touch his ears.

“Inuyasha…. Nani…. How can this be?” she whispered as she rubbed the ear harder. Just the caresses before were making his foot twitch to thump against the ground like some domesticated dog. But before he knew it, the caress had stopped and her arms had wrapped around his waist and she was giving him a crushing hug. Stunned form the knowledge that she knew it was him he stood there for a few moments. But, unable to help himself, he wrapped his own arms around her and hugged back. He felt her hands running through his lengthy black hair and let his own claws run through her locks. “Inuyasha, Inuyasha…” She chanted his name over and over as she stopped running her hands through his hair and just clutched his back. “You… Kikyo… I thought, I thought…”

“Shhh, Kagome, I’m here. I know,” he crooned, sheltering her close to his heart, “ I should have been here sooner, but I’m here now.”

(That I love you/ I have loved you all along/ And I miss you/ Been far away for far too long)

He rocked her back and forth in the deli, both oblivious to the looks from other customers and drone of her phone of Hojo on the floor. He felt her shake and just held her tighter until she was able to stop. But she just buried her face in his chest and held on like he was an illusion. He kissed the top of her head; he had grown a few inches and now towered over the onna.

He pulled back first and tilted her face to meet his when he smelt salt. His heart broke as he saw the tears on her cheeks. He used his thumb to wipe them away so that she wouldn’t look like she had been crying in the middle of the supermarket and absently caressed her face, his feelings on his face. He spoke gently to her, “Kagome, c’mon. Let’s get every thing we need from this place and get out of here so we can talk, okay?” She nodded vigorously and picked up her phone resuming her conversation with Hobo. She quickly bid him goodbye when she saw the frown gathering on his features. “I’ll meet you outside, okay?” She nodded again and gave him one last hug before going from the deli.

He stared after her until he found an arm slung around his shoulder. “Ya know, Inuyasha, what are the odds of finding her in a deli?” He looked up to find Shippo grinning at him from his superior height. “’Kaasan is going to be happy, I think.”

The fox had at first stayed with Miroku and Sango when they married and helped take care of the many children that the monk had promised her. Twelve children had been enough for Sango and Miroku and she immediately fixed the problem by finding a medicine woman to give her some herbs to prevent that from happening again. Shippo had helped raise every single child and even some grandchildren until the couple had died just days from each other. Both had reached a ripe old age of seventy- nine and eighty-one. Shippo had then taken Kirara and moved in with Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. Every once in a while, the Kitsune would find a descendant and help with them as a babysitter or something to entertain the kids while the parents went out.

He smiled at the Kitsune. “You still think of her as your mother?”

Shippo nodded, his red hair getting in his face and his hand brushed it back, his green eyes twinkling, lending him the look of a rock star or a model. He walked off but not before replying as he left. “You better not screw this one up or Hojo or Koga is gonna get her and not you.” Inuyasha growled at the Kitsune and he laughed merrily as the Hanyou lost sight of him.

(I keep dreaming you’ll be here with me and you’ll never let go/ Stop breathing if/ I don’t see you any more)

He quickly turned and got the turkey before going to the milk, bread, cookie and cereal isle. He muttered the whole time as he got every single item on Sesshomaru’s list, “Geeze… ‘I don’t eat human food,’ my ass. He eats more than me most of the time.” Thursdays were his day to shop and most of the time Inuyasha didn’t care whether or not he shopped or Sess did. But today was totally different… Kagome made it different. He’d never think of Thursdays the same.

He quickly walked toward the isle, following her scent and placed all of his items on the conveyor belt. He shot a crooked grin at the cashier, who, he noted, visibly melted on the spot. “Hi, how are you today?” he asked as he placed bags into his cart to take to his car.

She smiled, “Just fine, and you?”

He smiled again at her, “Much better. I found someone I have been searching for.”

She cocked an eyebrow, “Really? Has this person been searching for you?”

He sighed, “She probably thought I wouldn’t come for her like I used to when we were younger.” He looked up at the cashier, “No, probably not.” He gazed out the window. “She probably hasn’t even waited for me.”

He paid the cashier and made sure all of his purchases were on the cart. He followed her scent and saw her waiting outside, waiting for him, anxiety in her scent. “Hey, sorry it took so long. Sess has a lot of stuff for me to get.”

She cocked her head, “Sesshomaru?” He nodded and she let out a horrified giggle. “You two actually like and live with each other? I’m surprised you hadn’t killed each other by now.” He glared at her but couldn’t help but laugh with her.

“Yeah, Sesshomaru can be a real asshole sometimes, but most of the time he’s a real great guy.” He looked at her and gave her the next bombshell. “He’s a great father, and adoring Grandfather.”

Her sapphire eyes grew wide, “Father? Grandfather?” She cocked her hip a moment then sputtered, “Who?”

He grinned at her, “Rin, who else?” He frowned when he realized that she had seen his ears through his disguise. “How in the seven hells did you see my ears through my spell and how’d you know it was me? My aura was covered too.”

“Since I got back permanently, I looked into Miko training and became fully trained Miko, able to see through most youkai disguises.” She looked down a moment and then looked up at him. “It was really hard and took most of my spare time, but as far as I know, I’m the most powerful Miko in this time since Kikyo.”

(On my knees, I’ll ask/ Last chance for one last dance/ ‘Cause with you, I’d withstand/ All of hell to hold your hand)

He smiled at her and said softly, “You know what, in my opinion, you are the most powerful Miko since Midoriko.” She lifted her eyes to meet his and gasped when she saw the love in his warm violet eyes.

“Inuyasha…” She was speechless. Here he was, her Hanyou of her dreams right in front of her, declaring she was better than Kikyo, his first love. He was saying that she was almost as good as the creator of the Shikon no Tama. It was as close to a declaration of love as she had ever gotten from him. She threaded her fingers through his, feeling his claws through his disguise. She tugged his hand towards her car, but he wouldn’t budge. “Inuyasha, C’mon.”

He shook his head. “I can’t…” He swallowed, “That ring, it means something to humans.” She looked down at her engagement ring to Hojo. She was only engaged to him out of pity. He had been hanging around her for years, begging her to go out on a date with him and she finally accepted three months after coming back for the last time. That was three years ago. She looked up at Inuyasha, his expression unreadable.

At that moment as she was about to explain, her cell rang again. “Hojo-kun? I’m on my way out of the store. I’m bringing a friend with me and we’ll talk when I get home.” Her tone brooked no arguments and she snapped her phone shut. She eyed the Hanyou and said steely, “You will follow me.”

He opened his mouth to protest before snapping it shut and sighed his face softening. “Okay, Kagome.”

(I’d give it all/ I’d give for us/ Give anything but I won’t give up/ ‘Cause you know, you know, you know)

They headed to Kagome’s car first where he proceeded to help her load her packages and so he would no what her car looked like so he could follow it through traffic. She smiled at him as he followed her to the driver’s side when she leaned up and kissed his cheek, and then his nose before fondling an ear. “Follow me close, ‘kay? Be careful, Inuyasha.” He blinked before swallowing and waited before she got in her door and closed it when he tapped it and she rolled the window down. “Nani?”

He leaned in to press a heart-stopping kiss on her lips before roughly whispering, “Be careful too.” He leaned back before swearing and pressing another bruising kiss. Her arms went around his neck and his hand held the back of her head to his as he nipped her bottom lip and slipped his tongue past her lips to explore her velvet interior. She gave a little moan and a whimper as he reluctantly pulled back and kissed her cheeks, breathing a little heavily.

“Inuyasha…”

“Just drive, Kagome, or we’re never gonna get out of here.” His voice had degenerated into a feral rasp and he added a little growl to push her into action or he wouldn’t be able to hold back and would take her in the parking lot. She nodded and turned the SUV on. He nabbed his cart and found his Porsche and loaded the groceries into the trunk.

Living for centuries and being from a wealthy Youkai family had its perks. He never had to work and if he did, it was because he wanted to. Since Sesshomaru was still alive, he was still Taiyoukai of the Western Lands, but during the World Wars, he had sided with the Allies and not the Axis powers, therefore going against Japan, and became Supreme Taiyoukai of the Western Lands, that is from the western lands of Japan and the entire Western Hemisphere. He shared his rule with two other Supreme Taiyoukai, the Northern and Southern Taiyoukai, which were Lion and Stag.

That made Inuyasha one of the most powerful Hanyou in the world, and considering he defeated Naraku with Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Sesshomaru, Kagome, Kirara, and Kikyo’s help, he was the most powerful Hanyou in the world. He had helped Sesshomaru defeat the warring Taiyoukai and defeated the former Supreme Taiyoukai of the Western Lands, which had been an Ookami Youkai, oddly enough. Sesshomaru had been seriously injured in the battle and so had Inuyasha and Kirara, who had decided to stay with him rather than Sango and Miroku’s descendents. Shippo had neglected to fight due to a serious injury when he had been ambushed on the Ookami Taiyoukai’s orders. Needless to say, the wolf was no longer living.

(That I love you/ I have loved you all along/ And I miss you/ Been far away for far too long)

His eyes never left her license plate as he followed her a good mile to her apartment on campus of Tokyo University. She got out and he saw the frown as she looked at the Civic beside the Kia that he assumed was Hobo’s. He looked up and saw the young man come out dressed in faded jeans, a tee and tennis shoes with another young woman he identified as one of Kagome’s high school friends, either Yuki or Eri, he couldn’t remember and didn’t care. He could still taste her on his lips. Kissing her had been one of his wildest dreams come true, and she had responded so actively, he could still feel her lips parting hungrily under his and the feel of her fingers clutching his hair.

“Hojo, Eri, what a nice surprise…” she said slowly. He looked at Kagome, whose scent had changed from normal to nervous in a matter of seconds.

Hojo took a deep breath and said, “Kagome, we need to talk.” His head turned and he glimpsed the Porsche that was residing beside Kagome’s Explorer. Inuyasha smirked when his eyes widened in male satisfaction of such an expensive car. Inuyasha opened the door and climbed out of the car, shutting the door and standing beside Kagome. He noted the anxiety melted away when he stood behind her and grasped her hand behind her back.

“What, Hojo-kun?”

He sighed. “I’m not going to beat around the bush. Our relationship hasn’t changed but for the point of us being engaged and not boyfriend and girlfriend. Frankly, I’m tired of it and have wanted to go further. It is natural for a relationship to progress. Ours hasn’t.” He took another deep breath. “I’ve been involved with Eri for about two months. Kagome, we’ve been engaged for about seven months. We’ve made no conversations of getting married or our future since I asked you to marry me.” He leaned against the railing. “I’ve moved my stuff out of the apartment today and I’m with Eri. I decided to call it quits with you and I’m sorry and I hope you can come to terms with it.”

Inuyasha’s head snapped towards Kagome- her scent, instead of anger or hurt had relief. “Okay, Hojo.”

Hojo looked dumbfounded. “Okay?”

She nodded, “Yes, it is okay. I’ve never really felt much toward you anyway. You just seemed so fixated on marrying me that I accepted out of sympathy. I never planned on marrying you.” She looked at Inuyasha who was looking the same way as Hojo. “I wanted another the whole time. But he never came.” She gazed back up at Hojo, “Until today. Hojo, Eri, I’d like for you to meet Inuyasha.”

(I keep dreaming you’ll be with me and you’ll never let go/ Stop breathing if/ I don’t see you anymore)

Inuyasha’s mouth gaped open at Kagome’s statement, but quickly closed it and bowed toward the couple coming down the stairs. “I traveled to meet Inuyasha many times during my ninth grade year.” She looked directly at Eri, who looked a little confused. The young woman’s face quickly cleared and she realized what she meant.

“So… you’re the two-timing bastard.” Eri bowed and held out her hand. “I’m finally glad you decided to make her happy. But what took you so long? She’s been waiting for you for three years!”

Inuyasha shook it in a daze and asked softly, his voice musical and smooth. “Two- timing bastard? How did I two-time Kagome?” He looked at the girl, whose cheeks had gone slightly pink. He was confused.

“Well, she always told us that you used to run off to your old girlfriend sometimes and she would catch you and run back home.”

He winced, thinking it was truth. He had run off to Kikyo, many times and she had caught them, many times. He would smell the tears and knew he had hurt her and he hated it even then. He sighed and looked at Kagome, who was looking down. “My old girlfriend and I have been over for a long, long time. She tricked me, thinking that I needed to be someone else instead of myself. Kagome never wanted me to be anything but myself, which is why I chose her instead of my ex.” Kagome’s eyes caught his and he stared hard at her. “The reason it took me so long, was that I decided to let her get on with her studies as she was hampered by her illnesses when we met. I finally found her today in the deli in the supermarket.” He looked at Hojo, allowed his eyes to flash gold, when he spoke again. “I hope you are happy with your choice, Hojo-san. Believe me, you’ll never get another chance with Kagome.”

Hojo’s head nodded vigorously, his skin pale as he saw that the Hanyou meant business when his eyes flashed. “Eri is my choice. I think she has always been.” He looked at Eri, whose cheeks deepened to cherry red. He smiled at her and went past Kagome to his car. “Kags, I hope we can still be friends after this.”

“I’m sure we will be able to. Oh, and here is your ring.” She slipped it off her finger and held it out to him. He smiled slightly and took it. “I hope your next and final fiancée will enjoy it as much as I did.”

“Arigato, Higurashi. It was my grandmother’s.”

(So far away, so far away/ Been far away for far too long/ So far away, so far away/ Been far away for far too long/ But you know, you know, you know)

Inuyasha and Kagome stood beside each other as they waved Hojo and Eri goodbye and good riddance for both of them. To Kagome it was a wish come true; Hojo was hooked on another and Inuyasha was hooked on her, or so it seemed. To Inuyasha, it was as if all of his life had been waiting for this one moment.

Inuyasha turned to Kagome when the other couple and their vehicles were out of sight and looked directly at her face, something he would never do when he met or saw Kikyo. “I am sorry that I hurt you and it was not my intention to do so, Kagome.” His hand cupped her cheek and traced the delicate line. “When you disappeared after the Jewel was complete and you gave it to my keeping, I realized that you meant more to me than the Tetsusaiga, than beating Sesshomaru or Naraku and Kikyo. I realized how much of a fool I’d been for rejecting you when you could have gave me your love freely.”

He stared at her as tears began to form in her glorious azure gaze. “I tried the well everyday for two years before going to twice a week and then once a week, a month and then once a year on the day you disappeared.”

She let out a little gasp, “You did?” He nodded and the tears leaked onto her cheeks.

He leaned closer and licked the tears away. “Aishiteru, Kagome, more than words can express. I think I have loved you since you freed me from that tree five hundred and seven years ago. You taught me to trust and to love and to be myself,” he murmured against her lips and caught them in his own. She let out a small moan and clutched him to her like she would never let go. Her lips took the initiative and demanded of his. His mouth opened to hers and she slipped her tongue to duel with his. His arms went around her and both forgot their groceries as he carried her up the stairs and to the still opened apartment.

(I wanted/ I wanted you to stay/ ‘Cause I needed/ I need to hear you say)

Her breath came in short gasps and she tugged at his jacket, which he quickly shed and she searched his chest for the spell. He kicked the door shut behind them. She ground out, “Take it off, the illusion spell, I want it off now!” Panting, he lifted his arm reached under his tee to bring out the enchanted beads that he had never taken off. He tweaked a fang and Kagome leaned back to watch his human features blend in and out of his beloved Hanyou features. His ears twitched violently and he was chewing on his bottom lip.

“Kagome, I don’t want to force you into doing something you are not ready…” Her lips cut off his sentence and she knew he could tell that she had never been with anyone in her twenty-one years. He growled slightly and allowed his hands to travel down her body to slide off her shoes and his and stepped onto the carpet. “Where is the bedroom?” His voice sent shivers down her spine; it reminded her of Youkai Inuyasha’s voice. It was so thick and deep with passion.

She gasped as his teeth found her collarbone and started nibbling on it. “Go down the hall, second on the left.” He followed her directions, each individual step painful and throbbing. He looked around the room. It smelled only of her. She noticed his twitching nose. “We had separate bedrooms, Inuyasha. I wouldn’t allow that kind of stuff between me and Hojo.” She licked the tip of his wriggling nose and it stopped and his eyes darted to find hers, dark amber their color. “I would only allow this with you. I love you, Inuyasha. I have always loved you.” She kissed his cheeks, his nose, the corner of his lips. “I love only you.”

It was his turn for his eyes to fill. He hugged her, his face burying in her hair as the tears silently fell. “How could you love me for all the times I’ve hurt you? Why would you choose me, when you could have someone a hell of a lot better and more suited to you.”

“I think I’ve always known that you and I were meant to be together. I’ve never wanted another person since you.” Her back arched as his hand buried underneath her shirt to find her breast encased in a silk push-up bra.

(That I love you/ I have loved you all along/ And I forgive you/ For being away for far too long)

He slipped his hands underneath the hem of her shirt and lifted it away to expose her pink bra and lowered his mouth to lick, nip and suck at the creamy skin. She moaned and ran her nails up the center of his back. He hissed softly and lightly bit the skin at the junction of her neck and shoulder. The direct place where he would mark her to make her his mate for all time. She panted his name and arched her back to offer more to him to which he gladly took.

He used his chin to move a cup away from her swelling breast and curled his tongue around her nipple. It was clearly cleverer than the common run as it pushed against nerves that ran throughout her breast. He circled it and bit at it before sucking it into his mouth and making her scream. He smelled the scent of her orgasm as it took her and he held her as it took her over.

He stepped back to allow her to cool before stripping off his shirt and socks and getting rid of her socks and her skirt, leaving her in her matching thong, pantyhose and bra. He growled as he caught the scent of her arousal as it dampened her thong and the scent of spent orgasm.

She opened her eyes and searched for him as her muscles felt like warmed cinnamon and wondered why it took him a bit to get back to her. Her heart stopped as she gazed at his naked chest. She could see the slight scar of the arrow and where Sesshomaru had plunged his clawed hand through his chest with his poisoned claws. He growled out, “You are so… fucking gorgeous.”

His hands reached behind her to undo her bra and he pulled it away from her arms, leaving her chest bare. His growl deepened as he watched her nipples pucker into hard points. She gasped out, “So are you. You’ve changed, gotten so much more mature. I love you, Inuyasha and what you do to me.” She cried out as his mouth captured one hardened point into his mouth, sucking on it greedily. “Please, Inuyasha… please…” she begged him as his mouth trailed lower and grasped the top of her pantyhose and dragged it down her expansive legs, kissing them as the hose uncovered skin. He then grasped the top of her pink thong and dragged it down, leaving her bare. He sniffed at them once before throwing it aside to the floor.

Her hands found his belt on his jeans and unbuckled them before he had a chance to protest. She wanted him as naked as she was. She got it off and threw it to some dark corner of the room. She trembled with her need and slight trepidation as she slipped her hand underneath the waist of his jeans, expecting boxers at least. But her eyes locked with his and widened as she felt only hard, hot skin. Her fingers brushed the tip of his hard erection, expelling a pained grunt from her Hanyou lover. She unbuckled the button and slid down the zipper until it released from his tight jeans. He was panting now, his eyes shut and tightly closed, trying to keep at least a semblance of control. His chest was rumbling with a dark a growl. “Kagome… you are playing with fire.” He whispered the words between his teeth.

“I thought I was playing with you.” She said absently as she caressed the shaft of his erection. She blew hot air on the very tip of his shaft before licking it and taking part of him into her mouth. His head tipped back and he let loose a groan and panted as his clawed hands found her hair and he pushed against her, thrusting into her mouth. His thrusts quickened a moment before he growled and lifted her up so that he could kiss her mouth. He lowered her back on the bed before looking up at her.

“You do know that Inu-youkai mate for life, don’t you?” She shook her head and waited for him to elaborate before asking a million and one questions. “That means that you or I will never have another in our lives. Once I mark you, we are married in the custom of Youkai. Usually if one dies, so does the other unless there are young children.” His claws ran through her hair. He nipped at her ear lobe before locking his lips to hers for a brief moment before trailing kisses down her chest and stomach swirling his tongue every now and then along the way. He stopped at her belly button and swirled his tongue over it a few times before giving a series of little nips down to the dark triangle of curls between her legs. He could see the slight trembling in her thighs, and knew she was nervous.

Slowly, he pushed them apart and lowered himself between them, the scent of her arousal knocking what was left of his good sense. Parting the slick lips, he took a long lick between her thighs, his tongue circling and curling around her clit. She trembled even more and moaned, burying her hands in his silver hair. He thrust his tongue deep within her and she screamed, grabbing fistfuls of his hair and bucking her hips against his. She cried out again and thrashed her head as his fingers joined his tongue to try to stretch the virgin flesh so that it wouldn’t hurt her so much. Two fingers and then three and finally four were sliding in and out of her, mindful of his sharp claws, as his tongue played with her clit. He stopped a second and then pushed her over. She screamed out his name and he took a deep breath and pushed her over again.

He licked his lips and got up from between her legs and settled himself between her thighs, wriggling slightly when his erection slid in between her folds. “Are you ready for me, Kagome? You have to be ready.” He slid his hand down again and encountered the same wetness that told him she was more than ready.

“Please… Inuyasha… Please….” She begged and tilted her hips against his. He moaned and reached down to guide it to her channel. The tip aimed, nudged and pressed thickly into her hot virgin sheath. He held his breath as he came to the wall of her innocence.

He looked up at he and asked once again for the last time, “Are you sure it is me that you want? Once this is done I cannot undo it.” She wrapped her legs around him and pushed against his hips to press him further into her. She put both of her arms around his neck and nodded her head.

“Hurry, Inuyasha. I trust you.” And she did, with not only her body but also her heart and mind and soul. He pulled out slightly and then slammed in all the way to the hilt, wanting to break the maidenhead quickly. She cried out and buried her face in his neck. He could smell the tears and feel the pain coming off of her in waves, just as he was feeling the pleasure of her tightly surrounding him. She was hot, tight and wet and everything he could have wanted. He held himself completely still and in check, waiting for her to give her a move to tell him that the pain was gone. He wasn’t exactly small below the belt.

The pain consumed her and all she could do was hold on to him as he waited for the pain to ebb. After a few moments the slight pain was nothing more than a twinge and she felt for the first time what it was like to be full. She moved a bit and felt a wave of pleasure consume her. She gasped and locked eyes with her Hanyou, whose eyes had tightly closed to help keep control while he was still and now were wide open and infused with a bit of red. “Inuyasha,” she moaned his name as he pulled out and thrust back in.

(So keep breathing/ ‘Cause I’m not leaving you anymore/ Believe it/ Hold on to me and never let me go)

Her hands found the small of his back and grabbed hold of him as he sped up, using his Youkai strength and speed. He panted as he leaned down and nipped her bottom lip. Their lips met, both open and urgent. He shoved an arm under waist to tilt her for the best angle, the one that let him bury all of his length. Her legs wrapped around his waist to accommodate him. He growled and it steadily got louder the longer he continued to pound into her. “Harder?” he asked only because he wanted to hear the hunger in her voice. His eyes were completely red as he could smell the primal hunger coming off of her and his Youkai shrieked one thing- satisfy my mate!

She only moaned out his name again and tossed her head. She whimpered as she came again, her legs tightening around his waist. He hissed and continued to pump through her orgasm. She squeezed all around him, practically locking him inside of her. One of her hands slid down to lock on to his buttock for leverage, the other onto his shoulder blade to dig her nails in.

Her eyes shot open to lock with his as she came again and he could feel his own start at his toes and move up. He moaned as she contracted around him, squeezing so tightly that his head lowered to her shoulder, his fangs bared and lengthening to mark his new mate. “Kagome,” he rasped as he came and bit down on the junction of her shoulder and neck, marking her as his. She screamed and both arms came around his neck to hold him to her but he didn’t feel her; he was dumb, deaf and blind to all but the mind screaming pleasure and power that flowed from the Miko to the Hanyou.

(So keep breathing/ ‘Cause I’m not leaving you anymore/ Believe it/ Hold on to me and never let me go)

When he awoke, she was still wrapped around him and still under him. He could feel the strange power that flowed from her into him and realized that his fangs were still in her mark. He tenderly lifted his fangs out of her and swirled his tongue over the twin marks to close them. Her hands were still on his back and he lifted his head up out of her neck to look at her face. He smiled as he saw she was asleep with a smile on her face.

He looked up at the alarm clock on her nightstand and his eyes widened. He hadn’t realized that it took them that long. He groaned when he remembered their groceries. Gently, he slid out of her and swung his feet out of the bed. He quickly found his jeans and slipped them on and tweaked the rosary to make him human. He walked out of the bedroom in a daze looking around, noticing her apartment for the first time. He noticed some holes and realized that where Hojo’s stuff must have been. He glanced towards the kitchen in hopes of something to drink when he paused and noticed the groceries on the table.

Frowning, he walked toward them and the note that was lying on the table beside them. His eyes widened as he read it:

Inuyasha, don’t worry about the groceries. Shippo told me what transpired in the supermarket and I thought to just get them from your car. Even though the maid had already went moments before you left (He scowled at this, but realized it was a good thing). Call me when you get the chance so you can discuss the preparations for the wedding ceremony with her mother and I. By the way, she says congratulations and what took you so long? Sesshomaru

He laughed ruefully and found the glasses and ran some tap water to get a drink. Taking the glass back full with him, he walked back towards the bedroom and just stared at his new mate. He didn’t think she was new; he’d known the whole time that she would be his, he just didn’t know when.

He sat beside her and gently started to stoke her hair. It was so soft and silky. He rolled his shoulders and slid his jeans off, tweaking the rosary again. He didn’t want her to freak when she saw him human. He sat down again beside her before laying down full and gathering her up into his arms to watch her sleep.

(So keep breathing/ ‘Cause I’m not leaving you anymore/ Believe it/ Hold on to me and never let me go)

She stirred and opened her eyes to see the nightstand and her pillow. She’d had the most delicious dream. It had been a long time since she’d had a dream like that about Inuyasha. Though, she’d never admit it aloud, it broke her heart to think she’d never see him again. She’d never had a dream like that with such intensity. She was still feeling the aftershocks and affects. She smiled lazily and closed her eyes trying to recapture the dream when she felt a hand stroking her stomach that wasn’t her own. Her eyes popped open and she turned around and met the golden stare of her Hanyou. “Inuyasha… I thought it was a dream. I’m so glad it wasn’t.” She snuggled closer, trying to stem the tears that burned in her eyes.

Inuyasha frowned but buried his nose in her hair inhaling her new scent. His nose traveled down to her mark and it rested there. He smiled when he realized that she often must have dreamed about them. “You dream about me?”

He watched her cheeks burn a particular shade of red that matched his haori and hakama. “I’ve dreamt about you more than once since we met.” She gave that particular secret, knowing it would only inflate his ego. “I’ve dreamt about us doing what we did since I first knew I loved you.”

Now he was curious, “When was that?” He felt her swallow and smelled her sorrow and her reluctance to “When, Kagome?” He had- no, he needed to know. He needed to know if she loved him as long as he loved her.

“The first time I saw you and Kikyo together.” She swallowed again and buried her face in his chest, unwilling to talk about that anymore and desperately wished he would drop it or she would cry.

‘So, she’s loved me a hell of a lot longer than I have loved her. And she still stuck by me.’ He mused silently at this revelation and absently caressed her back. “How could you have stuck by me after all of those other times? If I were you, I would have stayed a hell of a lot angrier at me than you were and left me for hell.”

“But I loved you, and I didn’t know if I could have lived with you going to Hell. I had to help you.” She looked up at him, her eyes shining with vigor at the memories. He gasped and realized that the blue was ringed with gold on the inside near the pupil and the outside. “I wasn’t going to let her win without a fight. She had no right to take you. If she had any right, it was to Naraku’s death not yours.”

(Keep dreamin’/ Hold on to me and never let me go)

He couldn’t help but kiss her. “I love you, Kagome.” He murmured roughly, pleased and touched she felt so much toward his safety.

“I love you too, Inuyasha. So, when are we gonna tell my mother and your brother?”

He smirked, “My brother already knows, a certain Kitsune told him we met again in the Supermarket. And we’ll tell your mother as soon as we can manage to get out of this bed. Which won’t be for a little while yet.” His hands trailed up her back to slide under her arms to caress a breast.

She gasped and then said teasingly, “Animal. Kitsune? Shippo?! You mean he’s alive?” She gasped again, when he maneuvered her onto her back. His mouth teased hers before trailing down to whisper against her pulse.

“Yeah, he misses you and still thinks of you as his mother.” He stopped his teasing of her when he felt her wince as she moved her legs to accommodate his hand. He lifted his head and looked at her slightly flushed face. “You’re sore. We better not.” He removed his hand from her mound and trailed it up to rest on her belly.

She sighed thankfully very sore from the activity but willing to participate again if he would have pressed further. She was certain he could have made her forget the pain. “Arigato, Inuyasha. Aishiteru gozaimas.” She turned and pressed her body against his fully, aware of him, of his silver hair, of his adorable ears and molten golden gaze. She reached up and scratched his scalp between his ears, before going to an ear, feeling him groan and then sigh.

He felt nothing but bliss as she scratched his hear and caressed it, going from the base up. But all too soon the caresses stopped and he could hear her breath start to even out. “Don’t ever leave me,” She murmured softly. “I don’t think I could take it.”

(Keep dreamin’/ Hold on to me and never let me go)

He sighed and pressed a small kiss to her forehead. “Never, Kagome. Never. I’m right here, where I belong. Not far away. Never far away.” He watched the small smile melt on her face before pulling up the comforter to cover their nakedness before joining her in the land of dreams, his Miko at his side.
