A Different Tale

Chapter 3: Yura and Discussing the Wish

Kagome and InuYasha had just climbed out of the well when the young miko stopped. InuYasha saw this and looked back to his mate. “What is it,” he asked.

Kagome did not speak. All she could do was stare at the sight before her. The miko saw fibers going from tree-to-tree, tree-to-bush, bush-to-ground, and ground-to-tree. Walking up to one of the fibers, Kagome took a closer look.

“What are you looking at,” InuYasha asked.

“Can’t you see them,” she countered.

“See what?”

“The hair,” Kagome explained.

“What hair?” InuYasha looked around with squinted eyes.

Kagome reached out with her hands and took hold of a strand in front of her. The hair cut her palms lightly, making her bleed onto the hair. “Can you see it now,” she asked.

“I see your blood,” InuYasha said, “hanging onto something.” The hanyou reached out with his claws and cut the bloody strand.

“So,” a female voice said, “you are the ones that have the sacred jewel.”

InuYasha and Kagome turned to see a woman hanging in the air. InuYasha could see she was standing on something, but Kagome saw that the woman was standing on a single strand of the strange hair. Examining the mysterious woman closer, Kagome saw that she had hair spoking away from her fingers, like yo-yo strings. InuYasha paid attention to the woman’s appearance. She wore a very tight fitting top that showed a great deal of cleavage and ended just below her breasts. Covering her lower half was a skirt that started at her hips and went to mid thy. The skirt was slit from bottom to top, front and back held together by just tied string. The woman’s hair was loose and went around her head, ending at her jaw-line. The woman’s hair and fabric that passed off as clothing was pure, matte black. InuYasha took in the female’s face. Her eyes were dark, lips were pursed and eye-brows thin. She was stunningly beautiful, but InuYasha could tell she was a youkai.

“Who are you,” InuYasha asked.

The female youkai smirked as she lowered her eyes. “Ooh, a curious one we have. I am Yura of the youkai Hair.”

“That must be why I can’t see this ‘hair’,” InuYasha remarked, “this hair of yours is enchanted by you some how.”

Yura smirked again. “You don’t look like a normal youkai,” she said.

“That doesn’t matter, you will still die!” InuYasha leapt at the demoness. He slashed with his claws, cutting invisible hair as he went. Yura just dodged his attacks as she drew the sword hanging on her left hip. Going on the counter attack, Yura slashed her blade at the silver-haired youkai. InuYasha dodged by jumping from tree-to-tree.

“You have such pretty hair,” Yura said. “Too bad you haven’t been taking care of it.” Her voice was soft and cool, filled with arrogance and superiority.

“How can you criticize his hair when he has been pinned to a tree for 50 years?” Both youkai turned to see Kagome, bow drawn and aimed at Yura’s head.

“What are you going to do with that,” Yura asked calmly.

“THIS!” Kagome released her arrow, and hit Yura right between her breasts. But Yura did not fall over dead.

“Foolish girl.” Yura pulled out the arrow. “I hope you are ready to die.”

InuYasha took that time to charge Yura again. He stuck home, his right hand going into the female’s stomach and out her back. Withdrawing the arm, InuYasha looked at his handy work. He did not see any blood on his hand or in the wound he gave Yura. “What the,” InuYasha wondered.

“Haven’t you figured anything out,” Yura said with a smirk, “I’m immortal, you can’t kill me.” Yura jumped onto anothair air strand and summoned up a large portion of visible hair. She moved her fingers, ordering the hair to bind InuYasha’s hands and feet. In the end, the hanyou’s limbs were stretched out, arms up and out and legs spread.

“By-the-way, who are you,” Yura asked.

“His name is InuYasha,” Kagome said as she drew another arrow, “And quit ignoring me!” Kagome loosed her arrow. Yura dodged it, allowing the arrow to strike her hidden lair.

InuYasha saw the arrow fly past Yura and hometomething invisible. He then noticed that the arrow began to glow purple and spread its energy onto and into something hidden. After waiting several seconds, a large hanging ball of hair was seen. It was about 30 feet across with large locks of hair holding it up. InuYasha looked around and could see all the strands of hair that Kagome had seen.

“You naughty girl,” Yura said as she threw her sword at Kagome.

“My name is Kagome!” The miko shot another arrow, striking the sword. Both projectiles collided with a ‘pang’ and a bright purple-pink flash. When the light died down, the arrow fell to the ground and the sword had vanished.

“My sword,” Yura called out. “You are a naughty girl!”

“And she is my girl,” InuYasha hollered out. He had broken the hair the bound him and was flying right at Yura. Once he was close enough, InuYasha slashed his right hand out while calling out his favorite attack, “Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!” The hanyou’s claws glowed as yellow energy followed the slash of the claws, moving out and slicing through everything. This attack cut Yura in h rig right at the stomach. “You will not harm my mate!”

Yura looked down at her severed lower half. After just a few seconds, Yura called up her hair. All three watched as Yura was literally pulled together and the hair healed her wound. Yura smirked once she was fully healed. Moving her fingers, Yueganegan to summon up large amounts of hair around her for a final attack.

“Half youkai means only half power,” Yura giggled out.

Kagome stared at the gathering mass of enchanted hair. [How can we kill her,] the miko thought, [her body will just heal any wound we give her.] Kagome turned to Yura’s lair. [What if there is something there!] Kagome drew her bow and fired another arrow straight at the ball of hair. The arrow struck home and began to send energy into it.

Yura suddenly cried out in pain. Turning to her den, she saw it disintegrate and her collected skulls fall out. “You bitch,” the youkai roared. Before she could attack the young miko, InuYasha slashed at the hair-youkai.

[There!] Kagome saw a skull that was red and glossy, like that of a ruby. Kagome drew back her bow, last arrow knocked. She let the arrow fly. It struck the skull, imbedding itself in the forehead.

“AH!” Yura’s flesh began to smoke and vanish, eventually leaving only her clothing.

InuYasha turned to Kagome. He saw her looking at a skull on top of a pile of other skulls. He walked over to it and saw and arrow in its forehead and a broken comb lying next to it.

“So that’s what she was,” InuYasha said.

Kagome walked up to her mate and looked at what he was looking at. “A comb,” she asked in curiosity.

“Haven’t you learned anything,” the hanyou asked. Kagome looked at InuYasha in silent wonderment. “She was the comb. My guess is that it was once used to comb the hair of the dead.”

“So then the comb became cursed or something,” the young girl concluded.

InuYasha nodded as he put an arm around Kagome’s waist. “Lets go, we need to check up on Kaede and the village,” the hanyou said.

* * *

Kagome spent several hours trying to help Kaede heal the wounded villagers. Many were just drained from the way Yura had tied and restrained them, but some had minor cuts, lacerations and the occasional broken bone. There was one good thing on their side though, InuYasha had been willing to go out and find any herbs Kaede requested.

Kagome collapsed against the wall of Kaede’s hut. She was exhausted from the day’s labor. Taking this time to relax, Kagome thought back to the conversation with her mother before she and InuYasha came back the Feudal Japan.

Kagome was humming happily and softly as she came out of the bath room. InuYasha had made her very happy and very satisfied. Sure he took her virginity, her innocence, but he took it in a way that made her giddy for more. Kagome even wanted to try some things she had heard about from girls at school.

“Kagome,” Mrs. Higurashi said, interrupting her daughter’s thoughts.

“Yes,” Kagome responded.

“Tell me the truth,” the elder woman continued, “what were you and InuYasha doing all yesterday and this morning?”

Kagome blushed as she looked away. [What can I say,] the girl wondered, [InuYasha and I fucked each-other’s brains out? We could not keep our hands off each other and one thing led to another?] Kagome turned back to her mother with a nervous look on her face. “Uh, well, um.” The girl could not find the words to say.

“You had sex, didn’t you,” Mrs. Higurashi said. Approaching her daughter, Kagome’s mother gave Kagome a warm, motherly hug. “I’m not criticizing or questioning your actions.” Mrs. Higurashi smiled. “I’m happy you found a man to love, I actually like the idea of my grandchildren with those cute doggy ears.”

Kagome giggled at this. “I like that idea,” the girl said. “What did you really want to talk to me about?”

Mrs. Higurashi pulled back from the hug and looked at her daughter in the eye. “I want you to use these,” she said, pulling out a box of pills. “They are ‘after-morning pills’.”

Kagome blushed but had a thankful expression on her face. “Thanks,” she said.

Kagome had taken two pills when her mother gave them to her. Now she kept them in her bag. [I’m not going to become pregnant until InuYasha and I figure out what we are going to do about my mortality. Maybe I will become a hanyou. I could even make InuYasha and myself full-youkai. The only question is whether or not we would truly want it.]

At that instant, InuYasha plopped down next to his mate with a heavy sigh. “What are you thinking about,” he asked.

Kagome scoot over too her hanyou and rested her head on his shoulder as he wrapped an arm around her waist. “I was thinking about the issue of my mortality,” the miko responded.

InuYasha looked at his mate in curiosity before asking, “Have you decided?”

Kagome shook her head. “No, but I do think it would be fun to be a hanyou, or even foe boe both of us to be full youkai.” InuYasha stared at Kagome. “The only question is do we truly want to be a youkai? I might like to be a hanyou, but what kind of hanyou? Would I still be accepted in my time? Would we be happy if I made any of those wishes?”

InuYasha pulled Kagome closer to his body as he took in a deep breath, filling his lungs with her scent. Exhaling softly, InuYasha spoke, “If anything, were you to gain youkai blood, I would take you into the forest and we would not return for a month.”

Kagome giggled. “Would our clothes survive?”

InuYasha chuckled softly. “No,” he answered. “As for what kind of youkai you would be, what are your favorite animals?”

Kagome looked up at her mate with a toothy smile. “Neko, inu, and dragons.”

InuYasha froze when Kagome mentioned the dragons. If Kagome were to become a dragon, no one would be able to defeat her in battle. Too make things worse, Kagome would be able to transform into a full sized dragon and she might not be able to handle it and loose her mind. To top it off, as a dragon, mating would be difficult, at best. InuYasha did not to know what to say.

“Something wrong,” Kagome asked.

InuYasha looked at his mate with slight fear in his eyes. “I was thinking about you becoming half-dragon,” he said.

“What is so bad about that?” Kagome’s question was innocent and curious.

InuYasha sighed. “Dragons are very rare and powerful,” he began. “If any one was to be part dragon, they not only would be powerful, but possibly be able to transform into a dragon. The only problem that there is the potential they being would loose all control.”

Kagome gasped at what was being said.

“There is also a problem between us,” InuYasha said with a blush, “it would be difficult for me to rut with a dragon.”

Kagome’s cheeks flamed worse than InuYasha’s. “What if I were to wish we both became part dragon,” she asked.

InuYasha pondered that thought for a second. “I don’t know,” he truthfully replied. The hanyou sighed again.

“Let’s hold off on the wish,” Kagome said. InuYasha nodded against Kagome’s head. “I’m tired and it’s late.”

“Yeah, bed time,” InuYasha finished.

* * *
Kaede had just finished with the last injured villager and was now walking back to her hut. [Interesting, that hair youkai was,] she thought. [Summoning hair, it could. Kagome said the youkai came form a cursed comb. They will have many trials ahead.] The elder miko looked up as she entered her hut. When Kaede was inside, she saw InuYasha and Kagome lying on the floor in front of the fire. InuYasha was facing the flames with Kagome’s back spooned against his chest. The hanyou’s arms were around Kagome’s waist and his nose was buried in the girl’s hair. Kagome’s hands were on top of InuYasha’s with her head resting on a rolled up mat. She was also still in the miko robes and looked almost exactly like Kikyou. There was one difference however, Kagome had emotion on her face. They looked like a very happy couple.

[They have gotten close,] Kaede thought to herself.

Kagome groaned a bit in her sleep and shifted her head while scooting more against InuYasha. This movement exposed the bite mark on Kagome’s left shoulder for Kaede to see.

[Much closer than I thought.] Kaede shook her head as a smile grace her face. [They shall make a good couple.] Kaede smiled more as another thought crossed her mind. [Their children will be very cute, InuYasha’s ears and Kagome’s smile.] Kaede ended that train of thought as she walked into her room to sleep.

* * *

Kagome awoke to a very comfortable warmth to her back and two strong arms around her waist. [I could get used to this,] she thought. Slowly removing her mate’s hands, Kagome stood up. Raising her arms over her head, Kagome stretched and yawned. Turning back to her hanyou, Kagome smiled at his sleeping face. InuYasha had a look of complete complacency. [Now I know he is a puppy,] Kagome thought with a silent giggle.

“I see ye have awakened,” Kaede said softly.

Kagome turned to look at the elder woman with a smile. “What time is it,” Kagome asked.

“The sun has just risen,” the miko responded. Kagome gave Kaede a smile in thanks. “By the way child,” Kaede continued, “I saw how InuYasha and ye slept last night.” Kagome began to blush lightly. “I also noticed ye have mated with the hanyou.” Kagome’s entire face became crimson as she turned away from Kaede, hand on her face.

“What did you do now you old hag,” InuYasha gruffly said. He had gained consciousness when Kaede told Kagome the time, but kept his eyes shut. He did not like his mate to feel ashamed of being with him.

Kagome looked down at her squatting mate with anger in her eyes. “Sit boy!”

“Yah-” InuYasha cried out as his face slammed into the floor boards.

“Don’t disrespect Kaede like that,” Kagome hissed out.

Once InuYasha was free of the spell and standing up, he faced Kagome with a snarl. “She made it sound like being with me was a crime,” InuYasha defended hlf. lf.

“I wasn’t ashamed,” Kagome snapped back, “I was embarrassed!”

InuYasha growled as he glared back at his mate. Looking into her eyes, InuYasha found one of the major reasons he loved her so. Kagome stood up for herself. She wouldn’t be insulted. Also, Kagome did not like to be bossed around. He wanted her now.

Kagome saw emotions play through her hanyou’s eyes. She distinctly saw love, pride, joy and lust. Before she could say anything, InuYasha’s arms enveloped her as he kissed her hard. Kagome gave in after a split second and kissed her mate back as her arms encircled InuYasha’s neck. InuYasha responded to this by pressing his engorged cock to Kagome’s waist, lng hng her feel the situation.

“I shall leave ye be,” Kaede said, breaking the mood and getting both mates to look at her with a blush. Turning away, Kaede left to go do her daily rounds and too leave Kagome and InuYasha to have their fun. [Young love,] the miko thought with a soft smile as she left.

InuYasha and Kagome turned back to each other, still embracing. InuYasha smirked and tore the robes from Kagome’s body then quickly disrobed his own body. Moving Kagome onto the floor, InuYasha laid down on top of her while kissing her passionately. Kagome responded by wrapping her arms around her mates neck while grinding her hips into InuYasha’s. The hanyou groaned and moved his hips against Kagome’s..

InuYasha pulled back from the kiss ng Kng Kagome whimper at the loss of contact. He smirked down at her and moved to play with his mate’s chest. He began by suckling Kagome’s left breast as he squeezed her right with his left hand. Kagome moaned at this and held his head to her breast. After several moments, InuYasha switched his ministrations, hand on her left breast and mouth on her right. As he did this, InuYasha moved his right hand down to caress Kagome’s dripping slit. Kagome moaned louder and bucked her hips into InuYasha’s hand.

The hanyou smiled softly against Kagome’s fleshy orb and moved his moth to kiss and nip at the mark he gave her. Kagome just moaned more and instinctively wrapped her legs around InuYasha’s waist as her arms around his shoulders. InuYasha began to move his hand against Kagome’s opening, making her drip more. Releasing his mate’s breast, InuYasha moved his head to kiss Kagome as his now unoccupied hand began to guide his er ter to Kagome’s waiting entrance.

“Ready,” InuYasha asked tentavly.

“Yes,” Kagome gasped out.

InuYasha thrust in fast and hard, burring himself to the hilt in Kagome’s sheath. Both moaned at the feel of the penetration and began to move. Each thrust InuYasha made, Kagome met half way and would squeeze his member once he was fully inside. InuYasha rested his forehead on Kagome’s as they panted out their pleasure, eyes shut.

Kagome moved her head to the right of InuYasha’s head and began to lick, kiss and nip at the base of his neck. InuYasha felt that and moved faster, Kagome matching his pace. InuYasha felt Kagome begin to nip harder, leaving welts. He shivered at this and wrapped his arms around Kagome’s upper back, pulling her closer.

Kagome could not explain it, she just had this desire to mark InuYasha like he had marked her. Kagome felt her walls begin to grip her mate hard. She could feel the pooled warmth in her gut on the verge of eruption. Some how, Kagome also knew InuYasha was close to his own release.

Suddenly, Kagome’s lower body exploded in a tidal wave of orgasmic bliss. With that, Kagome bit InuYasha as hard as she could. That bite set off InuYasha. He thrust once more, penetrating Kagome’s womb and emptied himself inside.

They just stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity, but they eventually relaxed. Kagome let go of InuYasha’s neck as he slowly pulled out of her. Gently, they relaxed, InuYasha still on top of his mate.

The hanyou pulled back so that he could look at his mate. Kagome’s face was covered in sweat, her mouth dripping some of his blood. “I see you marked me,” InuYasha said.

“And you gave me another unbelievable fuck,” Kagome responded with a smirk.

InuYasha closed his eyes as his face took on a smug look. “Feh, you underestimate yourself, my mate.”

Kagome gave a look of curiosity. “What do you mean,” she asked.

“It’s mid day,” he replied.

Kagome turned to look out one of the windows. She saw that the sun was indeed high in the sky, stating that it was mid day. She turned back to her mate with a giddy look. “I never thought anyone could go for so long.” InuYasha smiled happily. “I bet my mom will be very happy.”

Now it was InuYasha’s turn to be baffled. “Why,” he questioned.

“When I turned 14, Okaa-san gave me a mother-daughter talk about sex. She hoped I could find a guy that would satisfy my every physical need.” Kagome bucked her hips against InuYasha’s. “And you are that guy.”
