Lunar Peril

Kagome shakes her fur out and walks back to sniff Isha’sha’s unconscious body. Curious at the change in his smell from demon to human, she licks him, trying to make him move. Unable to revive him, she gingerly picks him up in her jaws, like a lost pup, and wanders off to find a den. After some sniffing around, she finds a suitable cave and lays him down, curling up next to him, and begins to lick him again.
Inuyasha bats his eyelashes and gradually opens his eyes. It takes him a few minutes to comprehend where he is and what happened.

“Ka?” ?” He gasps her name in a hoarse whisper. “Did you save me?” The giant wolf gently nuzzles him and whimpers. “Do you… remember who you are now?” She cocks her and and whimpers again. “Will you… let me help you?” Inuyasha slowly reaches up to grab the necklace. It’s such a thin chain. It’s amazing she didn’t break it herself. With a sharp tug, it breaks.

Kagome glows with a blue light for a moment, then reverts to her human form. She sits on her knees with her eyes closed, completely nude.

“Whoa.” Inuyasha can’t take his eyes off her. He wants to, he knows he should, but he can’t. Suddenly Kagome blinks, as if coming out of a trance. She looks down and screams.

“IEEEEEEE!” She crosses her arms over her chest. “Don’t lo In Inuyasha turns away quickly, blushing. Fortunately, he’s lying down, so an ‘oswari’ wouldn’t do any good. “What happened?”

Inuyasha is redder than she is. Still looking away, he holds up the necklace for her to see. “THIS is what happened. Apparently Kouga gave you this stupid thing, thinking it would be helpful, and it turned you into a monster.” He tosses the necklace to the back of the cave.

“A monster?”

“A giant wolf youkai.”

Kagome looks worried. “Where’s Kouga? Did I… Is he…”

“Injured, but not dead. It’s too bad. I would’ve enjoyed seeing that idiot dead.” Inuyasha makes a pouty face, still looking away. The tone in his voice makes it obvious he’s lying about that last part.

“Injured? What did I do? I don’t remember anything after he gave the necklace to me. What about Shippou… Sango… Miroku? And you… did I hurt you too?” Her eyes well up with tears and she chokes out the last few words.

“Kagome, are you crying?nuyanuyasha turns his head to look at her, then remembers and looks away. “Don’t cry. Everyone’s fine. Here, take my cloak.” Still looking away, he unties his top, pulls his arms out, but groans as he tries to sit up enough to slide it off.

“Inuyasha, you are hurt! And it’s the night of the new moon!”

“Don’t worry about it, okay? You didn’t do this. Here, take this and put it on so I can stop staring at the wall already.”

Kagome takes his fire rat robe and puts it on, effectively covering all the important places. “Thank you.” She hesitantly touches his arm. “I’m sorry…”

“I SAID you didn’t do this, okay?!” Inuyasha finally turns to look at her. “I changed while I was fighting two boar youkai, and one of them got the better of me. I passed out and woke up here, so you must have saved me.” He smiles at her. “That’s a good sign, don’t you think? If you could manage to control yourself enough to help me in that state, even though you didn’t know who you were… then there’s hope for me… in my transformed state, isn’t there?”

Kagome smiles at him. “Inuyasha…” Her smile fades as her attention is drawn back to his stiff body. “Inuyasha, where are you hurt? Is there anything I can do?”

“I think my ribs might be broken. It’s nothing to get worried about. When the sun rises and my powers return, I should be able to travel again. I just need some rest now.” He looks in her eyes. She seems to be pleading for him to give her something to do to make him more comfortable. “All I want… is for you to stay near me until morning. It’s… getting a little cold in here.”

“Okay, Inuyasha.” Kagome curls up next to him, making do as best she can on the cold stone ground. She smiles to herself. He wants me to sleep near him. After a little while, she seems to nod off. A few minutes later, she begins to shiver. Inuyasha turns onto his side, wincing as he moves. He gently slides his arms around her, drawing her close, combining their body heat. In a few more moments he drifts off into a deep sleep.

Kagome awakens to see beams of sunlight streaming into the cave. A strand of long white hair falls over her cheek and tickles her nose. As she lazily moves her arm to brush the hair away, she notices that Inuyasha is still fast asleep, his arms wrapped around her protectively. She smiles. “Inuyasha, I love you.” She says the words softly, not wishing to wake him. However, his ears twitch slightly and he moans in his sleep, hugging her a little tighter. Kagome puts a hand on his arm and sighs happily. I wish we could stay this way. Too bad you’ll start acting like a jerk again when you wake up.

“Kagome… I love you.”

Kagome stiffens up, her eyes wide in shock. Did he just say what I think he said? Her eyes dart around. Is he even awake? Those words sounded so groggy… as if he were dreaming… but still… She turns her head, straining to see if his eyes are open, trying not to move too much in case he is still dreaming.

Inuyasha’s eyes are closed, but when she moves, he stirs and opens his eyes. He makes a sleepy groan and shifts his arm a bit. “Good morning,” he mumbles. Then he opens his eyes a bit wider. “Eh… did we sleep all night like this?” He sits up and stretches. “I feel much better now. How about you?”

Kagome sits up. “Oh I’m fine – ow!” She puts a hand on her neck and winces. “Heh… um, I guess I’m a little stiff from sleeping in one position all night.”

“That’s the trouble with a human body. It’s always getting hurt or sore…” Inuyasha smiles faintly. “But I think we can fix this without resorting to magic.” He sits on his knees behind her and begins to rub her shoulders.

Kagome is somewhat surprised at his continued civility. “Inuyasha…” She relaxes her shoulders somewhat and enjoys the attention. “Inuyasha, were you… frightened… when I transformed?”

“Of course not. I’m not afraid of anything.” He stops rubbing her shoulders and lowers his head. “That’s a lie.” He takes a deep breath. “I’m not afraid of facing any youkai. I’m not afraid of death.” He lifts his head a bit. “But… I was… I still am… afraid of losing you.” He wraps his arms around her and buries his face in her neck.

“Inuyasha…” Kagome puts her hands over his arms, stroking them gently. “That’s the same fear I have… about you.”

Inuyashfts fts his face up a bit, and Kagome kisses his cheek. Inuyasha’s eyes bug out for a second, but then he puts a hand on her cheek, turning her face toward him, and kisses her on the lips. He presses his lips against hers gently, breathing softly and trembling slightly in anticipation. He explores her lips with his, barely touching her, making full use of every tiny movement. Gradually, he becomes more forceful, sucking on her lower lip, nipping it gently, then sliding his tongue into her mouth. Kagome mimics his actions, turning herself around to face him properly. He buries his face in her neck once more, kissing her there, sucking and licking the delicate skin, then breathing on it, making her shiver. He shivers himself.

“By the gods, Kagome, has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?” He growls the words softly as passion begins to overcome his normally standoffish nature.

Kagome blushes and looks away. “You don’t have to lie, Inuyasha. I’m sure I must be a real mess after everything that’s happened.”

“You’re always beautiful to me, Kagome.” He stares deeply into her eyes. “Except when you say ‘oswari.’” He smiles mischievously at his little joke. Kagome smirks. Still in a playful mood, Inuyasha lifts an arm and makes a show of sniffing it. “However, a hot bath would be nice after getting drenched in sweat and gore… so let’s go find a hot spring.”

Kagome perks up immediately. “Okay!”

Inuyasha motions for her to get on his back, and she climbs aboard happily, but then blushes as she realizes she’s not wearing anything beneath his haori. He seems to sense her embarrassment, for he turns his head a bit and quietly reassures her. “Don’t worry about it.”

Inuyasha takes off, and utilizing his famous hanyou senses, discovers a hot spring in record time, as ordered. He sniffs the air and cocks his ears, ensuring himself that no one is around. Then, much to Kagome’s surprise, he strnudenude without bothering to conceal himself at all.

“I saw you naked earlier, so this is to even the score.” Inuyasha stands tall before her, the wind gently playing with his long silvery white locks. Kagome gasps at the boldness of his actions, tempted to ‘oswari’ him, but is too shocked to speak. Instead, she finds herself gaping at the hanyou’s muscular physique, and then… the rest of him, exposed in exchange for the glance he had inadvertently had of her breasts. He apparently believed in divine retribution… an eye for an eye, a hand for a hand…

He gives her only a fleeting glance before he gracefully dives into the water. Kagome remains on shore for a minute, just staring at him, still in shock.

“I’ll turn away while you bathe, if you want.” Inuyasha faces away from her, wading to the other end of the pool.

Kagome unties the robe wrapped around her and slips into the hot spring, never taking her eyes off Inuyasha. Once the hot water conceals her naked form, she hesitates for a moment, then wades out toward him. He turns to look at her once she’s within arms reach. They exchange a silent glance that seems to say, “Hello!” Inuyasha takes her hand and pulls her closer.

“The hot water is good for stiff muscles. How does your neck feel now?” Inuyasha sinks down into the water, enjoying the heat himself.

“Eh? Oh, it’s fijustjust fine…” Kagome struggles to hide hervourvousness as less than chaste thoughts pass through her mind. She begins to stand, stopping at the point where the water just barely covers her chest. “Inuyasha… do you really think I’m pretty?” She chastises herself for not coming up with anything better to say, but makes up for it by rising a tiny bit higher out of the water.

Inuyasha stares for a moment, then realizes he’s staring, and quickly answers. “Of course!” He forces his glance upward, rising out of the water and looking her in the eye. “I love you, Kagome.”

He kisses her lips once more, pulling her back down into the water, exploring her body beneath the surface of the pool. She wraps her legs around him as he fondles her breasts, happily massaging them with his strong yet surprisingly gentle hands. Moving downward, he rakes his claws down her waist and over her thighs, smiling at the thought that any attempt at an ‘oswari’ on her part would bring her down into the water with him. Fortunately for both, she only smiles and kisses his neck, sliding her wet fingers over his muscular shoulders. He smiles and continues, sliding a hand around to her exposed vagina, rubbing her clit and then sliding a finger into her while occupying her mouth with another kiss. She relaxes as he slides in and out of her, preparing her for greater things to come. She lowers one of her legs, squeezing her vaginal muscles against his finger. Then, much to his surprise, she slides her hand down to his crotch, stroking his erect penis in her hand. She runs a finger down the length of it, then takes his sack in her hand, gently massaging it before moving back up the shaft again. She takes a firmer hold on it, pumping it up and down as he pumps his finger in her. He puts a hand on hers, guiding his penis up to her vaginal area, rubbing the tip against her inner thigh. He turns her around, forcing her up against a boulder, rubbing her clit as he presses the head of his penis up against her vagina. He rubs the clitoris vigorously as he presses against her, then relaxes, then presses a little further, then relaxes again. He then spreads her vulvic lips apart and bites her neck as he rams his shaft into her, breaking her hymen in one swift move. She moans, but he is ready with a kiss, pausing his advance to allow her to get used to having him in her. He strokes her nipples as he kisses her, then begins to pump himself in her when she arches her back and pushes up against him. They continue on in this way for quite a while, until finally Ke gre grinds up against him, squeezing her muscles tightly around him, succumbing to waves of orgasm and forcing him to release. He pulls out as he does so, suddenly remembering they’re still on a quest to recover the Shikon Jewel, and impregnating Kagome would be foolish at best…

“Sorry, don’t want you pregnant just yet…” he whispers in her ear once he’s recovered from the ecstasy released from the ejaculation. He licks her neck where he bit her before.

She turns around to look at him questioningly. “Yet?”

“Well we don’t want any pups underfoot while we fight Naraku, but someday…” He smiles at her.

Kagome realizes what he’s trying to say, and wraps her arms around him happily.

Suddenly Inuyasha tenses up and cocks his ears. He angrily turns to face the bank and screams, “How long have you been there?”

Miroku answers him with a haughty tone. “Well now, here we were, thinking you two were in danger, worrying about you all this time, and here you are, having fun. And the WORST part of it all is… you didn’t invite me!”

A vein almost explodes in Inuyasha’s forehead. “GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!!!”

Miroku chuckles and leaves before Shippou and Sango stumble upon the pair. He smiles to himself. If Kagome did it with Inuyasha, I wonder if Sango could be convinced to bathe naked with me.
