The Love of Brothers

Chapter Six


Kagome woke early, she was tired as she hadn't slept well. Who could she thought. Today was the day. Her morning passed ina flurry of activity as she was bathed and perfumed oil was rubbed into her skin. Her dark cloud of hair was brushed until it shone like sunlight on water, then the skeins were piled high. She hated the poking and prodding of the many combs and pins needed to hold the intricate updo in place.
By the afternoon she wanted to chase everyone from the palace. Ladies and maids came to pay respects to her and Sango stood by her, easing her frazzled nerves. She just wanted to see Inyasha and Sesshoumaru, but they, it seemed were the only ones who didn't barge through her door.
She held still while the seamstress wrapped the gossamer gown around her, tying bright crimson sashes below her breasts and one around her hips to drape loosely. Maids had tried to paint her with make-up but she would have none of that. Gods only knew what they put in it. "Lady Kagome." came a small grating voice. The miko turned to face the little toad, who carried a pillow in his hands. "This is a gift from my lords.". He offered the silken puff to her and she saw a collar of rubies nestled in the folds. It was decadent. "I can't possibly take that." she told him.
Large yellow eyes went impossibly wide, "Why ever not?" he asked, confused. She blushed, "It's far too expensive.". The toad huffed and laughed outright, "Silly human, my lords rule Japan, such a thing is of no concern to them, and befits your elevation to lady of the west.". After he explained he motioned her closer to clasp it in place. He cleared his throat importantly, "Now then, we must hurry or you'll miss it!". He dashed down the hall, hooting at his own joke.
Kagome took a deep breath and Sango squeezed her hand. "It will be fine." she whispered. Kagome nodded and commanded her feet to walk. The halls have never seemed to long, as they made their way to the great hall. She paused at the steps leading into the room and a small rabbit demon banged a large gong. "All bow to Lady Kagome, Hime of the western lands. Bride of Lord Sesshoumaru and Lord Inuyasha."
The gathered assembleage watched her entrance, bowing in respect and she felt her cheeks heat. She locked her eyes foreward and saw Sesshoumaru dressed in his usual white, however this haori had blue blossoms and he wore no armor. His hair was caught up in a high pony tail, which threw the sharp points of his ears in contrast.
Inuyasha wore red, like that was a surprise but his robes were silk and his hair was up in a topknot. He lacked the flare of his brother, his robes were neatly trimmed in black and together they made a most handome pair. They waited, watching her with golden eyes and barely banked desire that even she could see. She stepped to face them and they knelt. The old dragon intoned on and on and Inuyasha was certain it was because he loved his own voice.
At last the oaths were made, the promises given. Since they had gained permission to mark her in private they settled for a light nip at the public display. Each catching her neck in his teeth and leaving a small red mark. She knew this was not the true mark, Sango had told her of it. Then Jaken had come and ushered her to her room to prepare for Inuyasha. She had gone without protest, glad to leave the many demons behind. Her miko energies drained her energy and with so many about it was hard to control.
As soon as she departed, the two inu faced squarely, fangs elongating. They embraced and with loud growls bit into one another's shoulders. Fangs sinking deeply, blood welling at the gumline. Dominance would no longer be an issue between them, they were equals, the same. It did hurt though, and they were glad that in an hour or so it would look like an old scar and Kagome would not panic about being marked.
There would be celebration tomorrow, a wedding feast and the new mates would be expected to bask in the presence of their guests. Tonight was for the consumating of the bond and the brothers knew that the demons in attendance thought they would both be bedding the girl. They would of course, but it would be some time before they could take her together. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru vanished to their rooms after that. Inuyasha bathed and went to his chambers. Kagome was not there waiting for him as he thought she might be. He walked to the adjoining door and pulled it open.
Kagome stood at her balcony, this would be the last time she saw the sun as a virgin. It was a big deal to her, though she supposed that Inuyasha would laugh at her for it. Would a demon be rough or gentle? Sango had told her so much that she couldn't possibly remember it all. Now, with the unknown looming before her, it seemed she could never know enough. She really wasn't ready for this! She shivered against the fear that threatened to take hold. "Kagome?" he asked from the door, his voice was soft, questioning. She turned and smiled, and walked to stand before him. "It was strange today." she whispered, moving easily into his embrace. He nodded. "So much is different now." Again he nodded, then lifted her chin with his fingertips, "You aren't having regrets are you?" he asked softly. He hoped not, even she were there was no way out of it now. She shook her head and patted his hand, "No, I'm just a little afraid is all.". He kissed her hand, meeting her eyes from beneath his lashes "Of what?"
She sighed and when she spoke, he pitched his ears to hear her. "Tonight...the future...being a wife.". He smirked in his trademark fashion, "We'll take care of you so stop worrying about dumb stuff. As for tonight... I'll be gentle Kagome. I"ll help you like it." his fervent words made her smile. She nodded and then walked past him into his chamber. Inuyasha closed the door and went after her. Time to make her mine.
Kagome felt much like a sacrificial maiden in the lion's den. She could feel his youkai flare around her, her own miko powers reaching to soothe him, but his fire did not diminish. He leaned against the door, staring at her. "Take off your robes Kagome." he told her. Gods knew if she left it to him they'd be in bits. She blushed, but her mind was made up. Slowly, she removed her clothing, averting her eyes when he shrugged out of his own. He wondered if her red face could set the bed on fire. She wasn't looking at him and had turned around, giving him her back. Her arms crossed over her chest. She looked so small and vulnerable. He shrugged out of his haori, and inner kimono to stand shirtless.
He stepped behind her, drawing her into the circle of his arms, and pressed her cool back to his warm chest. She shivered at the touch and snuggled closer. He pressed a kiss to her ear and removed the ornaments from her hair, letting it fall free. He loved her hair, always silky, always shining. He swept it to the side and kissed along her neck. She sighed and caressed his arms. her fingernails lightly raking over the muscled forearms banded around her. His tongue traced the shell of her ear, his fangs grazed her flesh. She moaned and he smiled nuzzling closer. "Kagome." She didn't bother to open her eyes, "Hmm?". He chuckled, nipping her shoulder, "Quit hiding from me.". She let him turn her around in his arms, and finally she met his gaze. His golden eyes were soft as she'd rarely seen before.
"You're beautiful." he told her. She blushed and her eyes filled. He pressed her lips in a gentle kiss, that soon turned hot and carnal, a slick battle of tongues that left them panting for breath. His hands moving over her back and tangling in the hair at her temples. She barely noticed when he started walking her backwards, it was only when she felt the bed at the back of her knees that she worried.
Inuyasha allowed her no time to worry, he pushed her back and she fell against the linens, the golden eyed demon crawling up and over her. He devoured her lips in hungry bites, kissing along her jaw and nipping her chin. She moaned softly when he caught her ear lobe between his teeth and tugged. The action echoing through her in shivery waves. He palmed a breast, squeezing it. She arched against him hungry for more of his touch as he pinched the nipple between his thumb and forefinger.
While the nub hardened, he nuzzled at the other, nipping the ivory flesh, flicking his tongue over the peak, rolling it over his tongue and finally sucking it into his mouth. Kagome strained and whimpered beneath him. He switched breasts and assaulted the other. Every lathe every tug sending sensation coursing from the reddened flesh to the center of her being. She sould feel the dampness on her thighs from his actions. Her heart raced and her breathing grew choppy, uncertain of these new feelings she inwardly began to fight them. tuned to his mate as he was, Inyasha felt her inner turmoil. "Easy Kagome." he soothed as his hand trailed down her stomach, and then to her thighs. A soft soothing growl started in his chest, almost inaudible but she felt it. He brushed his fingertips along her nether lips. She was wet with need already, and he groaned as he brushed a knuckle over the hidden nub wringing a sweet cry from her.
She nearly came off the sheets. His actions were familiar to her, but they felt different all the same. His fingers were not as long as Sesshoumaru's but they were thicker. Her own hands could never feel so wondrful. He slid a finger into her trembling body, her head thrashed against the bedding as he thumbed her pearl in time with his actions. She met her first orgasm of the night head on, with cries and whimpers as Inuyasha pumped his fingers in and out of her tight sheathe and he brushed the nub. She bucked against his hand and thrashed about beneath him. He smirked despite his painfully hard length, this is where he wanted her to be. "I-Inuyasha, pl-please!".
She wasn't sure what she was begging for, but he did. There was so much he wanted to do, but his own control hung by a thread and he couldn't lose it, not when she needed him to be collected and himself. He moved back up her body and kissed her, settling himself between her thighs. He paused at her entrance for a moment then slowly pressed inside. Kagome bit her lip at the feeling of being stretched by him, it was a not unpleasant feeling of being filled. Inuyasha gritted his teeth, struggling for control. Her body was like a tiny wet fist, squeezing him tightly. He felt the barrier and plunged through it in one hard thrust, seating himself fully.
She cried out, tears filling her eyes but they did not fall. Inuyasha soothed her with whispered apologies and gentle kisses. "Hold still, I'll help you like it in just a minute.". She nodded, pressing her face against his neck. "I-Inuyasha, I'm not a virgin anymore am I?". He kissed her again, brushing his thumbs over her lashes, "No Kagome. You are mine now.". Her body had eased it's hold and he slowly began to move.
Kagome gasped at the wonderful feeling he was causing, she raised her hips to meet his thrusts and he moved faster, pumped harder. She shivered and mewled against him as he made love to her. He felt his own release building and knew he would finish before her at this rate.... but he wasn't about to let that happen. Slipping his hand between them, he stroked the pearl again and again. Her legs twitched and her body jerked against him as the first tremors of her orgasm shot through her. Collecting some of her juices on his hand, he traced a finger beneath her, to the tight pucker that hid there. Her body arched at the added contact and he licked along her neck. Her moans became keening wails as he slid his finger easily into the tightness, his finger mimicing the rythm of his body. She had no time to be shocked, the extra stimulation pushed her painfully to the brink. Her eyes squeezed shut with enough pressure to force moisture from them.
Inuyasha felt her tighten and then the molten heat of her juices ran over him. She cried out loudly, tossing her head back against the pillows and Inuyasha tucked his face against her, biting deep. With a few more thrusts and a loud growl, he spilled himself inside of her, coating her womb. Withdrawing his finger from her, he collapsed atop her, careful not to crush her with his weight and slowly rolled to his side. He gathered the limp and panting woman against him, tugging the covers up and over them. The bite had rendered her unconcious, a side effect he didn't care for, but it was over now.
It was done, she was mated and marked. Tomorrow, Sesshoumaru would have her. He lapped gently at the wound, cleaning it. His saliva sealing the wound and stopping her bleeding. Come the morning her mating scar would show. He smelled the mingled scent of them in the air, and closed his eyes. After tomorrow, her scent would change, it could carry the undertones of Sesshoumaru and of course himself. He pressed another kiss to her ear, and smiled when she tucked her head beneath his chin. Yes, she was his now.

Sesshoumaru had heard her cries from within his room and fought every instinct telling him to barge into the room and join. He had broken into a cold sweat, his eyes bleeding red and he had lay writhing on his bed, his hand fisted around his hardness as he pumped himself in time to her lusty cries. She would be his soon enough and while he would much rather have been stalking something in the forest and slaughtering it, he could not afford to be seen beyond the bridal chamber. So he had taken care of himself, arching sharply off the bed with his own release and growling at the sticky evidence of his desire that coated his hand and stomach. Inuyasha would take her one more time, it was bound to be a long night.
Kagome woke a few hours later, warmly tucked against Inuyasha. She became aware of razor sharp nails idly tracing thoughtless patterns against her stomach as he rested. He had felt her coming awake and pulled himself from sleep. She turned her head to stare at him, "Hey." she said shyly. "Hey." he answered, "How are you feeling?". She turned in his arms, grimacing over stiff muscles and a cramped neck. She stretched in his arms and he closed his eyes, his grip tightening as she pressed closer to his body. "A little stiff." she admitted. Inuyasha was already hard again, and wanted to take her at least once more before the sun rose. Sesshoumaru would be here soon to take her with him. Kagome would be tired at the feast he decided. It took at least two matings for a male's scent to imbed deeply. He didn't want to wait and he knew his brother wouldn't either. He just hoped she'd be able to walk later.
"Roll over." he told her and she eyed him warily, but she did so. He ran his hands down her back, soothing tense muscles. She sighed in contentment as he worked knots and tension from her body. She barely flinched when he massaged down her legs, working on the over used thigh muscles and then ran his hands upwards, palming her bottom. Kagome moaned, lifting her hips for more of his touch. Already highly sensitized to his touch, she moaned again. Inuyasha leaned foreward, pressing a fanged kiss between her shoulder blades. "Inuyasha." she panted. He teased his lips against her, "I want you Kagome, but if you are too sore I won't." he murmured.
As if testing her, he slid his hand between her thighs and slowly pressed two fingers into the growing wetness. She whimpered, and pushed against his hand. "Please Inuyasha." she gasped. He smiled as he leaned over her again, running his tongue along her spine, tasting the salt from her earlier exertions. She arched her body at his touch. "Do you want me to touch you Kagome?" he breathed against her ear. She moaned and he stroked her heated flesh again, his fingers coming away wet. "Do you want me to take you again?" He asked pushing her legs underneath her, pulling her to her knees.
He nipped at her throat as he teased her with his words and his hands. Peering across the room he saw a large mirror reflecting them in the moonlight. Pulling her head back to rest against his shoulder he licked at her ear. "Open your eyes Kagome." he told her, and slowly the passion glazed eyes opened. He turned her head toward the mirror, "Can you see us? I want you to see me touch you.". She blushed, and he chuckled. "Sango told you that demons have no taboos, we like sex, we crave it. Being mated to two of us means that you will learn alot about what we like and it's up to us to make you like it too."
Kagome stared at the mirror, watching the pale haired man drag his tongue against her flesh, one hand moved to cup her breast, catching the nipple between his fingers as his other hand cupped her sex. She whimpered when he spread her with his fingers, the tip of one pressing her pearl. She bucked at the sudden jolt. Her eyes glued to the mirror as he touched her, bringing her back to the brink, his breath hot against her ear as he whispered in erotic detail what he intended to do to her. Her arousal filled the air, her juices coating his fingers as he stroked her, pressing two fingers high inside of her. "That's it Kagome, let yourself move. Feel me, take what you want.". She rocked against his hand, his thumb brushing her most sensitive spot. Her head fell back, cushioned on the muscled shoulder as she rode his hand to completion.
Inuyasha felt her contract around him and pushed her forward onto hands and knees. She was crying out with her release when he entered her hard and fast from behind. "Now I will take you like my bitch." he growled in her ear. She felt him fill her for the second time that night, her body wet and wanting. She had expected him to take her this way, he was a dog demon after all. Her hands fisted in the sheets as she braced herself against his hard thrusts, pushing back against him. She met his eyes in the mirror, and vaguely wondered if he saw the image as she did.
Inuyasha watched her face in the mirror as he slammed into her. Color was high in her cheeks, her mouth slightly open as she moaned and panted. Her full breasts bounced in time with his deep strokes. The wet heat around him made his eyes bleed red, and he growled as he moved. Her arms trembled and he pulled her up against him, the sight of his shaft sliding in and out of her, gleaming with her moisture clear. She had never seen anything so erotic, her hands fell to his thighs as he bounced her on his length. His clawed hand reaching down to rub furiously against her.
She mewled and bucked and with a growl he pushed her onto her arms again. Just when she was convinced he was nicely settled within her, he reached forward and pushed her head to the bed. The action brought her ass into the air and he slid deeper. With her weight braced against her forearms, Kagome let her hips fall back against his when she felt him plunge forward. The wet slapping sound of bodies coming together filled the air, joined with moans and grunts and whimpers and growls. Inuyasha pressed his chest against her back, locking his arms at her sides, caging her to his thrusts. She felt him clamp down with his teeth on the back of her neck, much like an animal subduing it's mate.
This time there was no pain, he did not puncture her flesh and the feeling rocketed her to orgasm. She screamed his name as she arched against him, and he felt himself harden again, feeling liquid heat move along his length and explode into her body. His orgasm was primal and powerful and he continued to rock against her wet clenching womanhood until he had milked himself fully into her and his flesh had softened.
Tumbling foreward, he caught her to his body as he rolled them to the side again. His eyes were still red, his blood beast satisfied with his mate. He growled soothingly as he licked her chin and held her close. Kagome clung to him, her arms wrapped tightly around him, her breath coming in harsh pants. Inuyasha stroked her hair, listening to her breathing calm. He wondered briefly who would give her a pup first. He wondered if he had given her a pup tonight. He wouldn't mind in the least. He glanced to the window, it would be dawn in a about an hour and Sesshoumaru would come and carry her away to his room.
He knew that she would want to bathe before then, and gathering her into his arms, he made his way to the private hot spring he shared with Sesshoumaru and now with her. She blushed as he lowered them into the water. "Why are you bashful now?" he asked in mock irritation. Kagome blushed even harder, "Because we are naked in the bath together. We've never done that before." she snapped. He laughed at her, dropping her unceremoniously into the steaming water. She came up sputtering, "Inuyasha!". He laughed at her bedraggled appearance. "I don' t think you have any reason to be shy now," he told her, as he passed her washing cloths and soap, "I mean I just spent the last hour or so touching every part of you, not like you have any secrets from me now."
Kagome turned away from him while she washed and heard him sigh. He was right she supposed but she just wasn't ready to be that blase about things. She washed his seed and her own fluids from her body. She moved off to a deeper part of the spring while he lounged on a rock ledge. She ducked beneath the water to wet her long hair, and while she was submerged she made certain to thoroughly clean herself. Inuyasha let her bathe, and when she was done, he took her back to her own room, and climbed into her big bed with her. He wasn't about to sleep in a wet spot after his bath. She drifted off to sleep as he caressed her arm.
