Kitsune Tails

Inu yasha ran ahead to find a very hysterical Kagome. Even after all of the battles he had seen, the sight before him still made his stomach turn. Koga's main part of his body, was hung up by a large branch which had impaled him through his heart. Both his legs were missing along with one of his arms.

Kagome stared at the sight of the massacred demon in front of her, and then fainted. Inu yasha hurried to catch her before she fell into one of the numerous puddles of blood that were scattered all over the area. What really freaked Inu yasha out was the fact that out of all the blood there, it was all Koga's.

Apparently Koga hadn't been able to lay a scratch on his opponent; this truly disturbed Inu yasha because in his fights with Koga they were pretty even. All in all, if the shards weren't here there was no reason to stay here. Just as Inu yasha was leaving the clearing his canine nose detected the light scent of kitsune. Not only was it of kitsune, but a familiar kitsune.

Inu yasha put that thought out of his head he would deal with that later, right now he needed to get Kagome away from this place as soon as possible. He held her in his arms as he ran from the bloody scene as fast as he could.

Later when Kagome had woke up, she began to immediately blame herself for what had happened. Inu yasha tried to explain to her that it wasn’t her fault.

" Yes it is Inu yasha! I wished he would die! It’s all my fault! I didn’t mean it! I didn’t mean it........." She said as she continued to weep. Inu yasha put his arms around her shoulders to try to comfort her. All this crying she had been doing lately had been tearing his heart to shreds. He always felt as if it was his fault when she cried.

After all he promised to protect her right? Wouldn't protecting her include protecting her heart?

"Kagome it’s not your fault! Kogas death had nothing to do with you! Simply wishing something to be so, won’t make it happen! Believe me I would know!" he said while forcing her to look into his eyes.

Kagomes tears stopped as she looked into his eyes, they were filled with love. A love she was certain was not for her. He talked of wishes not coming true, she supposed that he was talking about Kikyo. After all how could he love her when he had someone like her. She had to know.

"Inu yasha tell me truthfully what wish do you have that you want to come true..." she kept eye contact with him when she said this.

" It's stupid..." he said as he got up to walk away he was stopped by Kagomes hand.

"Inu yasha tell me and be honest...........please" her voice began to crack up as the tears came back.

He knew he couldn't say no when she said please so pathetically. She looked so
helpless, sitting there asking him what his wish was. He sat down next to her and embraced her, if he was going to tell her he couldn’t look in her eyes. He couldn’t stand the look of hatred she would have for him when he did. Kagome wrapped her arms around his back.

"My wish Kagome is....." Kagome closed her eyes as she tensed preparing for those heart breaking words.

“For you to love me the way I love you" Inu yasha said as he waited for her to push him away. He waited and he waited but all she did was hold him tighter and cry harder. He couldn’t take it any more, he had to leave now before she could respond to his words. But when he tried to leave she just held him tighter.

"Kagome Im sorry I never meant for you to cry, but you asked me and I-I just couldn’t lie to you, if you let me go I'll leave you alone" he said with sorrow heavy in his grief stricken voice.

“But" Kagome started. Inu yasha closed his eyes. ".....I don’t want you to leave!" Inu yasha sighed she probably just wanted to take her back to camp.

“Alright I understand I'll take you back to camp first" Kagome finally let go of Inu yasha and pushed him back so that she could see his face. She placed her hand over his mouth. To Inu yasha's dismay, she was smiling. "Silly, Im not crying because Im sad Im crying because Im happy ..... I love you to Inu yasha...." she said as she removed her hand from his mouth. Inu yasha let out a breath he didn’t know that he was holding as he saw the smile she gave him; it was a smile of true happiness. She wanted him! Loved him! A hanyou!

“Kagome I ........" he was stopped by the feel of her soft lips on his. He forgot what ever it was he was going to say and wrapped his arms around her neck as he ran his clawed fingers through her soft hair. Her warm tears wet his cheeks. She wrapped her arms around his back and parted her lips to give him access to her mouth. He
slowly put is tongue into her mouth, and rubbed her tongue before further exploring.

Kagome moaned softly into his mouth. When they parted the kiss, Inu yasha began to suck on Kagomes bottom lip. Then he trailed kisses down her throat and to the joint where her neck met her shoulder. Kagomes hot breath in his ear, only made him suck harder.

"Inu yasha" Kagome said a little above a whisper, with a dreamy tone to her voice. Inu yasha had to stop this before it got out of hand. Even if Kagome did love him he knew that she wasn’t ready for that yet.

Kagome was a little disappointed when he pulled away from her. She gave him her cutest pouting face. Inu yasha found it hard to resist that face.

"Kagome you know what will happen if we keep going?" he asked.

"Of course I do Inu yasha, and I want it to happen, I love you so much" she said as she went to kiss him again, a little upset when he didn’t kiss her back.

"Inu yasha what’s wrong?" She said a little hurt.

"Kagome, I love very much too. More than I've ever loved anyone, But I don’t think
we should do this yet. You could get pregnant and then you would have to go home, and I need you here right now, we all do." he said in a very sincere voice.

"I understand that but, my heart doesn’t. I need you, please" she said and kissed him. This time he kissed her back. When they parted he whispered into her ear in a deep husky voice.

"We cant go all the way you know" She nodded to agree, she was willing to go all the way but he was not, she could wait. Inu yasha laid Kagome down in the soft grass.

He kissed her slowly and passionately as his hands traveled to the belt on the kimono she was wearing, he undid layer after layer, until he had access to her bare skin. She was wearing nothing but her under wear. He broke the kiss long enough to look at her partially naked body.

"Your so beautiful" he said with love and longing in his voice. He returned to kiss her lips one more time before he trailed kisses down her throat to her breasts. He sucked tenderly on her left breast before giving the right the same treatment. She ran her fingers through his silver hair, before finding his ears and fulfilling a need she had had since she released him.

She rubbed them in slow steady circular motions. She almost jumped in surprise when she heard a low rumbling in his chest. He was purring. She smiled at that realization. When Inu yasha's kisses grew lower and lower she stopped her attentions to his ears and let him have his way with her.

With Kagome's body completely submissive to him, he knew that he would have to stop then or he wouldn’t be able to stop later. He forced himself off of her, and lay by her side. Kagome pouted a little bit but she knew that she shouldn’t push him. He lay on his back to give her access to his chest so she could use it as a pillow if she wished.

As she rested her head above his heart he wrapped one of his arms around her protectively. She didn’t bother to tie her kimono back in place, she just closed her eyes and allowed herself to be lulled to sleep by the sound of Inu yasha's heart beat. With Kagome already asleep Inu yasha was left alone with his thoughts. It had been so hard to not take her, she had been so ready, but a pregnancy was the last thing that they needed. He had taken care of her needs but his were still there wanting. Well he wasn’t about to disturb her much needed sleep to satisfy his needs.

So for now he would just have to be content in knowing that she loved him in return and would give him what he desired when the time was right. He sighed. At least there would be no nightmares tonight, he hoped. They would return to the others in the morning but for now they would just stay content in each others presence.

"Houshi sama, do you think that Inu yasha and Kagome will be alright by themselves tonight?" Sango asked feeling a little worried about her friends. It wasn’t that she thought that Inu yasha was incapable of defending them from demons and such, what really worried her was who would defend them against each other. After all they hadn’t fought in a while it was bound to happen sooner or later.


"Sango do not worry so much Im sure they will be fine" Miroku stated assuringly. The two kitsunes were already asleep, curled up with one another in the sleeping bag Kagome had left behind.

" I suppose that you are right ........sigh.... Miroku I'll be back in a little while, watch
over the little ones while Im gone."

“And where may I ask are you going?" Miroku said with a slight grin on his face.

"I am going to the near by lake to bathe if it is any of your business" She replied giving Miroku one of those looks that said 'follow me and die'.

Miroku gulped and nodded, he did not want another red mark on his already bruised face.

As a little Kirara began to follow a retreating Sango, Miroku let out his breath that he had been holding.

Miroku looked up to the stars and heavens to pray. Truth be told he was a little concerned about his friends as well. “Inu yasha just don’t do anything I wouldn’t do".

*****************

"Inu yasha you lay one clawed finger on Kagome and I'll kill you myself" Sango swore as she lay down her weapon and began to undress. As she floated in the cold water she began to think about what her friends were doing right now. She supposed that it involved lots of 'sits' and ‘thumps’.

Sango was startled when she heard the sound of footsteps approaching. She stood up and got out of the water as fast as she could grabbing a towel and picking up the hiraigotsu and preparing too bang it on Mirokus head for being a pervert. A feminine figure rose from the bush, and began to walk towards Sango.

"Who goes?!" Sango shouted as she prepared to throw her giant boomerang. The figure appeared to be human that is until it stepped out into the light of the moon. Sango threw her boomerang at the same time that the figure lunged at her.

*****************

Miroku awoke with a start “Something is not right ". He thought for a minute before
he realized that someone special to him was not present.

"SANGO!" he yelled as he grabbed his staff and ran toward the lake. He broke through the clearing to see Sango bathing in the moonlight. She stood up out of the water as he prepared to be struck.

"Miroku what are you doing hear?" she said with a smile. She walked over to the spot were Miroku stood. "Silly monk what are you doing?" She asked curios as to why he was shielding his eyes. She put her hand on his and lowered it from blocking his view only to find his eyes shut tight.

"Miroku why won’t you look at me?" She asked with a hurt tone to her voice. Slowly Miroku opened his eyes to see a completely nude Sango. A blush swept across his cheeks as he looked away from her body. He didn’t know why she was torturing him so, but he had a feeling he was going to pay for it later. "Miroku?" She said questioningly.

" Sango you’re not decent" he said trying to keep his voice from cracking.
Sango frowned.

“Does my body bother you that much that you won’t even look at me?" she said as tears began to swell up in her eyes. Well that did it his last restraints were broken.

He embraced Sango. He stroked her wet black hair. His other arm rapped around her waist.

"No Sango I think your beautiful! Please don’t cry..........Sango are you feeling alright?"

"Miroku do you love me?" She said as her human finger nails began to grow at a unnatural speed until they resembled claws. Miroku was unaware of this, he breathed in the scent of her hair lost in his want for her.

"With all of my heart Sango" Miroku rubbed his hands on her back she hissed in pain.

"Sango are you hurt?" he asked he was concerned now. On her back was a deep
gash that looked similar to the wounds caused by the hiraigotsu. When he lifted his hand it was covered in blood.

"Sango you’re bleeding!" Miroku tried to push her away so he could look at her face.

"It’s only a flesh wound, Miroku would you do anything for me?" She asked as her canines began to sharpen in to fangs and her ears began to change shape as she tightened her grip on Miroku until it was almost painful.

"Of course Sango dearest anything you wish" he gasped as her grip became tighter.

"Would you be willing to die for me?" she purred in his ear as her claws began to sink into his back.

"Yes Sango I would give you my last breath if you asked" Mirokus face screwed up when her grip began to make it difficult to breathe.

"Promise?" She asked as her eyes glowed a bright blood red.

"Sango you’re starting to hurt me, please stop...." He said while trying to gasp for
air.

"Promise me!" Sangos voice came out as a growl.

"Sango your not yourself! Stop you don’t know what your doing!" Miroku gasped as her grip loosened.

”Im sorry ,I-I just want to know if you mean it, I love you so much please Miroku promise me...." She said as she cried into his robes.

"Of course, I promise, you will be the one to hold my heart forever" He whispered in her ear. She began to laugh uncontrollably.

"Good" She said as she sunk her claws into his back and ripped out his warm human heart. He was dead instantly. His corpse fell to the ground.

"Pathetic human weakling you let your mortal feelings cloud your mind and that is what sealed your fate." She said as she dropped his heart on the ground. "Now that your out of the way its your little friends turn...later love.." She smiled evilly as her demonic features changed back.

She stepped over Mirokus dead body and began to walk out of the clearing and back to the campsite.

**************

Tonight Kagomes dreams were filled with images of her and Inu yasha, she was almost disappointed when it was time to get up, then she remembered the activities that had taken place and practically jumped out of bed.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, the sun was barley over the horizon, it reminded her of the morning she and Inu yasha had watched the sun rise together. She was anxious to wake up Inu yasha to make sure that it all wasn’t just a lovely dream. Kagome had second thoughts when she saw the relaxed look on his face, for once he seemed so at peace.

It would be a shame to wake him up now, so she curled up next to him and went back to sleep again in his arms.

He unconsciously snuggled closer to her and began to purr again. Kagome would have thought he was awake if it hadn’t been for the slight snoring that came along with the rumbling in his chest. Kagome drifted off once again.
