Desperado 5 – Uncomfortable Reassurance


-----------------------------------------------------------


“Hurry up Kagome, we need to get back to the village now.” Inuyasha’s foot was on the well when he turned to Kagome who was lugging a very heavy backpack. Her foot healed within a couple days. Inuyasha never left her side, although, them never talked about that night they had had. It was almost as if it were a dream to both of them. A dream they weren’t ready to share with each other. Kagome had spent the majority of the time doing her homework, and studying for some tests she was supposed to be taking. She had come home once with the smell of Hojo on her, and she assured Inuyasha that she had bumped into him on the way home…quite literally bumped into him. Inuyasha did not like the idea of there being another male scent on her body aside from his. Still, he couldn’t see Kagome behaving inappropriately. Inuyasha’s nightmare had returned the night before. Again, he could do nothing to protect Kagome from Kikyo. He swore that he would never let Kikyo near Kagome. Never. She hadn’t asked her about them, and he was glad for that. He wouldn’t be able to tell her…even if he tried. He couldn’t tell her that Kikyo was trying to kill her…And that she was working for Naraku.

Kagome glared at him. “I wouldn’t be so slow if I had some help from you Inuyasha.” She threw her bag at him, stumbling in the process. Ignoring the bag, Inuyasha jumped to steady Kagome. His arm was firmly placed on her lower back. His amber eyes peered into her brown ones. A small sound came her lips as Inuyasha placed his gently on them. For several minutes they stood like that, feeding on each other’s tastes and mouths. Inuyasha had waited patiently for the next time he would be allowed to kiss her. He was glad he was able to now, and she wasn’t fighting him. He let his tongue be subdued by hers one more time before he pulled away, touching her face very tenderly.

“We should go…” He whispered in her ear. She nodded, not wanting to let him go, but eventually did. She stepped towards the well and peered down.

“Inuyasha…are we going to tell the others what happened…between…us?” She blushed gently. Inuyasha felt his face grow hot. It was the unspoken question in his mind as well. Surely they would notice something was different between them. Inuyasha himself noticed that in the last couple day he was tenderer with Kagome, even when he was trying to be an ass. He picked up her bag and hitched it over his back and then wrapped an arm around her waist. She looked at him, questionably.

“When you’re ready.” He jumped in the well.


Shippou paced back and forth. “What’s taking them so long? Inuyasha has never been gone this long before, neither had Kagome!”

“Shippou, its only been four days.” Miroku patted the kitsunes head. “Kagome did say she had some big tests to study for. “

“Yeah? Well, what happened to Inuyasha, hm? He’s never left us for four days while Kagome’s gone. What’s he doing? Visiting Kikyo?”

“That’s a bit of a stretch Shippou. Inuyasha would never be gone that long visiting Kikyo. A couple hours maybe, but it would never last four days.” Miroku smirked lecherously.

“Oh you think so eh?” Inuyasha’s cold voice sent shivers down the monk and young fox demon’s back. They turned around slowly and were greeting by a very angry Inuyasha, and his happy-go-lucky fist. “What in the hell are you two talking about?! I do not spend time with Kikyo while Kagome’s gone. That happened once and that was because she came looking for me. You guys know that!” He stopped and turned around. He could smell her tears.

“Inuyasha…SIT BOY!” Kagome continued to walk towards the hut, leaving a very wounded Inuyasha eating dirt. He sat up when her smell faded. He stared off towards the well.

Shippou and Miroku remained silent. Normally Inuyasha would be bitching at Kagome for doing that, but why wasn’t he? Miroku couldn’t help but feel slightly responsible. However, he couldn’t have known the two were behind them as they spoke.

“Inuyasha?” Miroku spoke calmingly. “What is wrong?”

“What do you think?” He snapped getting up and bounding for his tree. Shippou blinked, staring into nothing like a curiously child.

“What’s his problem? I’ve never seen him act like that before. Should we go find him?”

Miroku shook his head. “No…its best to leave him. He’ll be silent for the next while. Lets try not to bother him.” He turned towards the hut.


Kagome opened the door of the hut and smiled at Kaede and Sango. “I’m back!”

Sango smiled at her friend. “I’m so glad. Things were getting too quiet without you and Inuyasha around here.”

“Yes indeed. Where is the half demon Inuyasha anyways?”

Kagome frowned. “Probably sulking.” She sat getting probing looks from the old priestess and the young slayer. She sighed and hugged her knees. “Sango, Kaede, be honest with me…Has Inuyasha…ever…gone to see Kikyo when I’m gone?”

Kaede put the ladle down she was using to stir the food. She rested her hands in her lap. “No Kagome, Inuyasha had never left here to visit Kikyo. My sister once came here seeking him.” She saw Kagome flinch.

“Kagome, Inuyasha never leaves to see Kikyo without any of us knowing. We’ve all seen him leave when her collectors came from nowhere. But he’s never gone behind your back to see her.”

“At least not since he was brought back from the tree. You know this well Kagome.”

“Yeah..but…did he ever…”

“Inuyasha maybe a dog, but he isn’t that low.” Sango smirked gently, reaching over to pat Kagome’s shoulder. “Kagome…I followed him that night. Actually we all did. He told Kikyo how he felt about her. But that he wouldn’t leave you so long as you needed him. You took priority in his life now, not her and he wasn’t going to bend over backwards to try and please her. She reminded him of the promise he had made to her, one that we could tell he regretted.”

Kagome sighed, hugging her knees tighter. She believed every word they told her. How could she not? They wouldn’t lie to her, they never have. Especially when it came to Inuyasha. After a while she stood up.

“Where are you going Kagome?” Sango stood up and followed her out the door.

“I need to talk to Inuyasha about something.”

“What? What about?”

“It’s…kind of…personal.” She looked at Sango who understood. Kagome turned back towards the well, seeing the monk and the fox demon. She didn’t see Inuyasha.

As reading her mind, Miroku sighed. “He went to his tree.” She nodded to thank him and took off running. Miroku looked up and saw a very ticked off Sango.

“What did you say to get Kagome so worked up?”

“Wha…why are you blaming me!?” Miroku stepped back. Sango’s stare was cold.

“You had to have said something to make Kagome ask Kaede and I all these questions about Kikyo and Inuyasha. It’s bad enough that she’s in love with him, do you have remind her that he promised his life to someone else?” She sighed. “You’re hopeless.”


Inuyasha sat in his tree. His eyes shut. Everything was calm and quiet. He liked that about this part of the forest. No one wanted to come in here. This was his forest. He sighed to himself, thinking back to the moment when Kagome sat him. She was crying. She was crying because of him…again. His eyes fluttered open

“Damnit.” He cursed at himself. He had silently promised her he would never make her cry again, and he had. Damn Miroku and Shippou for bringing up that night he spoke with Kikyo. They had followed him he knew they had. He wanted them to hear what he had to say to Kikyo so they all understood finally that he was going to devote the remainder of his life to Kagome. And the night he had shared with Kagome…that sealed his promise. When all this is over, he would seek Kikyo and ask for her blessing to remain with Kagome. He paused for a moment. Was that the reason Kikyo was trying to kill Kagome, because Inuyasha wanted to spend his life with her and not Kikyo? He growled lowly to himself. Was he the reason Kagome was to die? He shook his head, closing his eyes once again.

The vision of the old fortuneteller appeared in his mind.

“Young Inuyasha…” she had said. “The Queen of Diamonds will beat you. You have no chance of winning your battle with her. The Queen of Hearts is, and will be, you’re best bet.”

Diamonds are a rare and beautiful gem, hard to destroy and even harder to resist the most desirable gem known to mankind. The Queen of Diamonds, who was she? She had to be beautiful and rare, like the diamond. Desired by all, and hard to destroy? The description confused Inuyasha. Hearts are life giving and pure, a body without a heart would cease to exist. But, they are so fragile they break easily. The fortuneteller had said his heart was broken and still in need of mending, and in the process of mending his own heart, he was breaking another’s.

Inuyasha frowned, seeing his two greatest loves dance around his mind together, both of them beautiful and both of them extraordinary. Kikyo had been the first to show him true kindness. She had looked at him as person, not a half-breed…but she also wanted him to become a mortal. It was because of the shikon jewel that they were tricked into thinking that the other betrayed them...Then there was Kagome. She never once told Inuyasha she wished him to be human. As a matter of fact, she had also looked at him the same way. When he was a half-demon, she smiled at him, when he was a mortal, the smile never changed. Even after his demon blood took over his body and he slaughter those men, Kagome never left his side. Would Kikyo have done that? Would she have stayed by his side? He couldn’t answer that question.

When Kikyo was alive, she did so much to help people. That is why he had been so curious about her. She could have killed him a number of times, but she didn’t. She was gentle with everyone, smiling beautifully. Is that who Kagome got it from? Did Kikyo’s kindness get reincarnated into Kagome as well? Inuyasha pushed the thought from his mind. Impossible. Kagome was very different from Kikyo. Kagome was sweet, innocent. Regardless of the person, she would always stop to help them. Inuyasha hated and loved that about her. Even if they were hunting a jewel shard, she would stop them group to help an old man with his bundle, or to rid a village of a demon. Most of the time, Inuyasha was the one doing the helping. Kagome volunteered him. She had such a big heart, and that’s why he protected her. She couldn’t always do it herself. Usually she was getting into trouble or getting in the way.

That’s the difference between them. Kikyo didn’t need his protection as much as Kagome. She was well adapted to defend her own.

Unconsciously, Inuyasha looked down to the ground. There was his Kagome, smiling up at him. He smiled back as he floated down to meet her.

It was all in slow motion. Her arms opened wide and to greet him as he fell into them. Her warm embrace told him she was sorry for sitting him earlier and she trusted him. She trusted him. He nuzzled her neck and kissed it gently, moving his way to her lips. They locked together. The passion of their kiss ran through their bodies. Gravity seemed to give up and they floated into the setting sky. His hands rested on her back while her played with the hair on his neck. This was right. This was perfect. Her body pressed so close to his again, the urge came to take her once more began to creep up in his loins. He needed her again. He had gone almost 2 days without having her after that night. He had to restrain himself each night after that. He pulled her closer in an effort to tell her what he was feeling.

She got his message loud and clear. The feeling of his length on her thigh, even through it confinement, sent waves of screaming need to her womanhood. She deepened her kiss to tell him without using words that she wanted it too. She felt his arms tighten around her waist and his lips move away from her mouth. She blinked, looking at his mischievous eyes. He bent his knees and jumped. Kagome yelped, feeling lifted off the ground. She closed her eyes tightly until she felt something beneath her feet. She reopened them and found she was at least a hundred feet in the air, standing on a thick tree branch.

“Oh my god…Inuyasha…” She clung to him. She heard him chuckle.

“I won’t let you fall Kagome…Do you trust me?” He smiled, and she nodded.

Slowly, and carefully, Inuyasha sat down on the branch, resting his back on the trunk of the tree. He placed Kagome in his lap and began to kiss her neck. She arched into his touch, rubbing herself against him. She couldn’t help it, it felt so good. The waves running through her body, she couldn’t get enough of them. If she could stay in this moment for the rest of her life, she would. She knew Inuyasha wouldn’t argue with her. His hands found their way into her shirt. He unsnapped the bra as if it were nothing and lifted her shirt enough to expose her breasts. He smiled. He loved the sight of these fleshy mounds. They brought such great pleasure to him. He lowered his mouth to one of them, licking the flesh and nipping at it gently. He heard Kagome’s moans of pleasure heighten when he took the nub into his mouth. He suckled it hard. Her arousal was getting hotter and heavier with every suck. His own was growing in need.

Inuyasha nearly fainted when her hands moved into his haori, and grabbed his length, pumping it with a greater force than he thought Kagome had in her. He bit down on her nipple, not too hard, but in surprise. She yelped and he licked it vigorously to null the pain. He decided it was time to leave that one alone, and moved to the other one. He could feel her heat on his legs and her hands beating friction up and down his shaft. He could barely concentrate on what he was doing. Her breath filled his ears as she panted. His hands trailed down her back, to her butt and then, into her thighs. She barked out a moan as he started rubbing her insides with his fingers. Her grip tighten. It wasn’t long before she was bucking in his fingers, needing him more than even. He left her breast and went back to her face, taking her lips as his once more. His ears flattened however, when he felt her hands leave his length. He pulled away and looked at her. Kagome was sheepishly digging into her pocket of her skirt. She pulled something out.

“Mom…um…heard us the first time…She uh…gave me these.” Inuyasha looked confused. Kagome smiled at his confusion. “People of my time use these so they don’t conceive children at the wrong time. It’s a type of…birth control.”

“Where does it go?” Inuyasha inquired as she opened the strange circular object. He hissed feeling a cold wet feeling and the warmth of her hands sliding over his penis. He blinked at her. “Oh…there.” He shrugged it off and returned back to kissing her.

He removed his hand from her panties and pulled them down. He was careful not to drop them on the ground. She would more than likely flip on him. His pants were already loose enough to reveal his shaft to her. He picked up her hips and rubbed himself into her entrance. He was careful when entering her this time. He wasn’t sure what this…constriction around him would do. Upon entrance, he could feel her warmth, but he could not feel the wetness well. He took pity on that. It was the one thing about being inside Kagome that pleased him the most. Feel how wet he could get her but simply kissing her breast. Kagome quivered when he entered her. She rested her head and hands on his shoulders. With his hands still on her hips, he lifted her up and down, slowly at first, and then quicker when she got to use to him. He watched her breasts bounce up and down and looked at her face, watching the contours change with every thrust. She moaned loudly, eventually, doing most of the humping herself.

Gripping his shoulders tightly, Kagome bounced up and down on his penis. She could feel it still growing inside of her, becoming bigger and wider. It caused her to moan in a greater amount of pleasure. This was her doing, he was hardening because of her. She shook feeling herself almost ready to cum on him. He sensed it, she knew, because he was once again taking control of her movements. He was forcing her to be harder against him. It was turning from a love making to a fucking. Inuyasha began to growl louder, his own orgasm becoming too hard to hold onto. He would wait for her though. Her needs came first. Kagome tossed her head back and yelled out his name, coming hard on him. He didn’t stop her from pumping, he kept her moving. The friction intensifying the orgasm. Her body trembled over his and he saw tears running down her sweaty face. His came not too sooner after hers had ended. He fought the urge to bit her neck and take her as his life time mate. He had to wait until Naraku was defeated before he took her like that. But he also needed to make her conceive his child. All that would come after Naraku was defeated, but for now, she would be his unofficial mate and no one, not a soul, could take her away from him

When his orgasm hit, he whispered her name into her ear and held her tightly. All motion stopped, and he pulled her close to him, not removing himself from her inside. Wrapping his warm arms around her tenderly, they panted together, letting their bodies float among the clouds. Whenever they decided to return, that’s when they would go back to Kaede’s. But not before.

Inuyasha smiled as he watched the sun finally set completely and the first stars came out. He knew his choice was the right one. He knew this was right.

Kagome’s heartbeat told him he was right where he should be. Here in her arms, feeling her life this. It was clear to him now. He had made the right choice.

Kagome was his Queen of Hearts.
