Check and Checkmate

11 o'clock and the casino was silent. The endless party that the shrine played host to on the weekends trickled to a five to ten after-work mixer during the week. After all, the weekend's opulence took some time to prepare. And repair. But for now, the dancers had gone home, the pits were deserted, and the slot machines' siren song of flashing lights wenteedeeeded. The hotel on the midfloors was desereted too, it's rooms never intended to be rented for more than the weekend's party and another day to sleep it off. No, from Tuesday to Thursday the Shrine was deserted soon after ten, from the casino to the restaurant. Made for a convienent setting to play host to the family's business affairs. Like tonight for instance, way up in the glass walled office behind the restaurant's kitchens, the lights were all aglow. It ise the that we find one of our lovely heroines, looking most unlike herself. Jacket discarded, shoes kicked off, sleeves rolled, hair tucked behind her ear and tongue between her teeth, Carine was glaring most frighteningly at her computer screen.


The numbers were simply refusing to add up. Every aspect of the family business, except for the jewel smuggling ring, which SHE had personally overseen for several years, had taken a slight decrease in profits in the months before her father's death. Strange, but not too much so, something that could easily be explained away by a bad economy. Except that the economy wasn't bad, and that slight decrease had suddenly turned into dramatic losses after her father's death. Someone had obviously been testing the water, embezzling and introducing competion in what had been the sole property of the Hiragushi family. And from the looks of it they were planning on eventually ruining her. Or lauching a take- if if they got impacient. Which, judging from these numbers they were. And she had a pretty good idea who that 'they' was. Nuroku. Everyone else truly believed her to be incompetant. Nuroku hated her, but was always wary of her. Anyone else proabably would have started with the jewel- WHAT WAS THAT?!

She quickly turned off the computer and focused on the security monitor. The camera feeds were blacking out, floor by floor, and three of the elevators were off line, and the other......awww, shit the other was heading toward her floor. Quickly she hit the lights and crouched low beside her desk, slipping her pistol from it's hiding place. The feature of her security system that had alerted her would also alert the house and someone would come for her. But since they had no way of knowing how many people with big dangerous weapons were now prowling the halls, it would be best if she could make it out of the building to meet them.

Simple enough, if she wasn't on the top floor of a very tall, mostly glass building.

It wasn't that Inuyasha didn't like kids. Really. It's just that, well, they confused him. Especially this one. Rin, the very small, quiet child that his brother had somehow mysteriously 'acquired' several months ago, had just plopped a rather misshapen looking stuffed...creature into his lap and was looking at him expectantly. And ashaasha was completely puzzled. Partly at how she had managed to escape the army of employees that his brother kept around, all of whom had instructions to return her to bed if they saw her out and about past 9, and partially at what he was supposed to do now. And how much time did he have before she started crying. Did Rin cry? He really wasn't sure.....

Luckily, he was saved from having to make a descision because at that moment the doors burst open, and Inuyasha was suddenly crouching defensively behind his chair, with Rin in his arms and the stuffed thing halfway accross the room. He had just relaxed after realizing that the 'threat' was none other than Sango, when he discovered that Rin in fact did not cry, she kicked. Ouch.

"Inu! Quick, Miroku just called, the Shrine's being invaded! I'm going there with your brother, he wants you to go to the house and get Kagome, she could be in danger."

She had barely finished her sentence before Inu bolted bast her, swearing under his breath. She turned on her heel and they both raced down to the garage.

The drivers were already alerted, so Inu hardly had to shut the door behind him before his car was barreling accross town to where the Hiragushi estate lay. Even at the break-neck speed they were going, it didn't seem fast enough. He dug his nails in the seats, forcing himself to not snap at thever ver to go faster. They'd get there in time. If they were going after the Shrine, then Carine was obviously there, and she was the big target. They wouldn't come after Kagome until that was taken care of. He hoped.

What was normally a 45 minute drive at this time of night, flew by in almost twenty. The black limo pulled up just in time to see Kagome burst out of her house. She was struggling with Miroku who at first was trying to push her back in the house, but seeing Inu's car, began to steer her toward that instead.

"No! Let me go- urgh! Carine's in trouble, let me HELP!"

Inuyasha hopped out of the car and grabbed her around the waist. Coming from the opposite direction he could see several headlights approaching, he did not want to chance that it was Niroku's men. While Miroku raced to his car to go help defend his mistress. Inu pulled a shrieking Kagome into the car.

He held her tight in his lap to keep her from trying to jump out. "Kagome, calm down! Sesshou-maru is going to the Shrine right now. He's not gonna let anything happen to Carine. Hell, I don't think she'll let anything happen to her."

She calmed down then, but he still didn't let her go. They rode for a few minutes in silence. Inu used the turning of a corner to shift Kagome slightly in his lap. He was getting hard with her that close, and he had SOME decency left, and knew that this wasn't the time. Dammit. She shifted ribackback, pressing her round little behind into his stomach, with her warm little pussy right on top of his man hood. And she was wearing a short skirt! It was almost as if she was doing that on purpose. She wiggled alittle, her skirt hiking up, and Inu just about died. She was doing this on purpose. "Kagome?"

His eyes just about bugged out of his head, when she pushed herself off his lap enough to whip off her underwear. She twisted slightly to face him. "This isnabouabout you okay? It's been waaay too long since I've been laid, I'm stressed and I'm tense, and it's entirely possible that my cousin could be getting shot in the head as we speak. I really need a good fuck right about now, okay?"

Before Inu could respond, not that he would argue, she turned around again. Rising up off his lap, she reached under herself and pulled down his zipper. His cock practically sprang out, it was painfully hard. He ran his fingers over her legs, pushing up her skirt even more. It took all his willpower not to dig his claws into that tender flesh when she grabbed his considerable girth and directed towards her pussy. She was so wet she dripped her juices on his cock before he even entered her. She slowly lowered herself til she was sitting just atop his tip. Then with one quick violent movement, she plunged down, hard. Inu gave a large gasp and squeezed her against him, thankful for the sound proof glass he had pulled behind the driver when she got in. The force of the penetration, combined with Inu's size, granted Kagomsmalsmall instant orgasm. She moaned slightly, and once it passed began to grind herself into his lap. Feeling his penis twitch and squirm inside her when really it was she who was moving. It felt so slow to Inu as she squirmed and wriggled against him, but he wisely let her use him for her pleasure, at first. As she moved faster and faster, little moans escaped her lips, the intesity was building to a point where she almost couldn't bare it, between his cock rubbing against her insides and the friction of her clit against the bunched up fabric of his pants. So close, she rubbed harder, faster, until....Oooooh. She felt the throbbing pleasure break in her head and all over her body, as she fell limp against him.

Inuyasha gritted his teeth, and forced himself to hold still, waiting until he felt the last of the tremors s her her cunt. Then he grabbed her by the waist and began to forcefully pump her up and down his shaft, taking advange of the gravity that sent her crashing back against him. Kagome started moving again, twisting so that each thrust hit her in all the right spots. Just when Inu thought his arms were going to give out, he felt the tension hit his boiling point and he came explosively. He bucked up instictively, forcing his erupting cock deeper into her twitching cunt. The shot of hot cum ide ide her send Kagome over the edge one last time, and she flung her head back onto Inu's shoulder, bearing her neck to him.

Whether her action right then, and his the next momnet were deliberate, they never could decide. But as the last tremors of passion swept their exhausted bodies, Inuyasha bent his head and sunk his teeth into the little spot where her neck meets her shoulder, marking her forever his.

Next time: The big showdown at the Shrine. Not a sterling moment for Carine, and where is exactly does she wake-up? Sango and Miroku cuteness. And where will Kagome sleep tonight? Tune in next time on "Days of our Demons"... ;P


Sorry if it's alittle sloppy with the spelling and grammer. I've been busy, sick (twice, goddammit!), had my brain eaten by Harry Potter (Sirius! Noooooo!) and now trying ot help plan the family vacay, all while sharing the one compuw/ tw/ the internet with 3 other people. So that's why updates take forever. Ce la vie.
