Passionate Embraces

Disclaimer: Though I wish I did, I don't own Kouga. Nor do I own Sesshomaru. Awww, hell. I don't own anyone in IY's world. This disclaimer goes for all the other chapters in this fic as well.

1st embrace

Kagome sighed happily as she slid off her skirt. She and Inu Yasha had been arguing for over a week and finally he screamed that he needed time away and bounded off into the forest. Kagome was not stupid. She knew exactly where he was going and who he was going to go and see. She had seen her following them on several occasions. It had amazed her that the girl could switch so quickly from one male to the other, but that was what Ayame had done.

Ayame had seen Inu Yasha for the first time when that hairball youkai of Naraku’s came after the shards, and even though she was trying to convince Kouga to mate her, she had started to follow the group and would take whatever chance she could to talk to the hanyou. After a couple of weeks, Inu Yasha’s attitude towards Kagome grew colder and finally he had told Kagome that she just was not good enough for him any longer and that he needed a real woman to care for his needs.

To say that she was upset was an understatement. Sesshomaru had warned her that his younger brother was going to do something like this, but she did not listen and was now paying for it. Miroku and Sango were so disgusted with Inu Yasha that they told him that they were taking Kagome back to Kaede’s village so that she could have some time away from him. All he said was that he was glad that they were taking the crybaby home, and that he might be back before the week is out.

That was fine with Kagome. She had grown tired of his lies and his constant name calling. Now, here she was, at a lake that she had found a few months ago, but it had still been too cold to go swimming, but now, the weather was perfect for a nice swim and so she coerced Kirara to fly her to her little paradise and drop her off. She petted the huge fire neko and asked if she would come back and pick her up later in the afternoon. Kirara had mewled and took off, leaving her friend to soak up some rays and relax.

Kagome folded her skirt and quickly whipped off her top. Underneath was her green bikini that she had just bought for this occasion, and now, she would enjoy herself and her time alone. Kagome giggled and jumped into the water, laughing when she came up for air. This was truly the life.
^*^

Kouga growled softly as Ginta and Hakkaku grumbled about the heat. It was so hot that they had to take off their armor to let their skin cool off. Both of the younger males were constantly whining about how tired and how hungry they were. Finally, Kouga had heard enough.

“Listen. Why don’t the two of you go and sit under that tree until you cool off. I am going for a walk. Do not leave this site except for food. When I get back, I expect for a fire to be going and for one of you to have hunted. We have a long journey back to the den and now that Naraku is dead, I need to start thinking about how I am going to get Kagome to mate with me.” He said, his tail swishing back and forth rapidly.

Ginta and Hakkaku looked at each other. “What about Ayame? Did you or did you not promise to mate her?” Hakkaku asked.

Kouga glared at the male. “Damn it, she was just a fucking child. I wanted to ease her fears and I may have said something to the effect, but I am not going to follow through. I have claimed Kagome. End of story.” He snarled.

“Ok, ok. Geez, don’t get your tail twisted into a knot. I was just asking.” Hakkaku muttered as he shook his head.

Kouga snorted and took off, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to get Kagome to be his mate. He ran for nearly an hour, his body glistening with sweat, and he finally heard the sound of the small waterfall hitting the lake. He had known about this place for quite a while and had wanted to bring Kagome there when he asked her to reconsider being his mate. However, if she were to refuse him, he would have to reconsider Ayame. He needed a woman to give him an heir and thankfully, his pack accepted Kagome, so he knew that they would accept any child that was born from their union. But, with Ayame, Kouga just could not see himself mating her. She was loud, bossy, and rude. Women should be sweet, gentle, and polite. Basically, everything that was the exact opposite of Ayame. No. He would not mate that bitch. He would rather fuck a male instead.

When he saw that blue waters of the lake, he didn’t even stop running. Instead, he stripped himself of his wrap and flung it to the side before he dove into the water. He stayed submerged for a few minutes, and then slowly came to the surface. Grinning, he wiped the water from his eyes and looked around, his jaw dropping when he caught sight of Kagome sprawled on a large rock.

He grinned and slowly made his way over to the sunbathing beauty. The fates must love him.
^*^

Kagome had swam for about an hour before she decided that it was time to catch some rays. She got out and grabbed her towel. She found a large boulder that had a flat surface and she quickly spread her towel out. She reached into her pack and pulled out her suntan lotion and her diskman. She quickly rubbed herself down with the lotion and then placed the earphones over her ear and turned the diskman on. She grinned as the first song on her favorite cd began to play. Lying back, she allowed herself to relax and let the stresses of the week fade. She never heard the splash, nor did she see a certain wolf emerge from the water.

She jumped when she felt cold drops of water hit her skin and she quickly opened her eyes. She nearly fell off the rock as she tried to quickly move away, but a strong arm caught her before she could make her escape.

Kagome turned to glare at the intruder, but smiled when she realized exactly who was holding her.

“Kouga!” She cried, throwing her arms around his neck. It had been too long since she had seen the wolf youkai and she was glad to see a friendly face.

Kouga chuckled and returned the hug. Once they parted, he reached over and pulled the earphones off of Kagome’s head. He examined them before placing one of the earphones up to his ear. His eyebrows shot up as the next song began to play. He glanced at Kagome before handing the earphones back to her.

“I take it that this is another interesting thing from your era.” He said, giving her a wide smile.

Kagome nodded. She placed the diskman back into her pack and then turned to look at Kouga, however, she then noticed that he was naked, and she turned right back around, blushing.

Kouga looked down at his body and then glanced at Kagome’s body. His cock bobbed up and down as he slowly stepped towards her.

“I take it that you and mutt-fuck had another fight and that is why he is not with you. What was it about this time?” Kouga asked, his words soft.

Kagome shrugged and took in a deep breath. “Inu Yasha has been seeing another female and ever since then, his attitude has gotten worse. All he does anymore is scream at me and call me names.” She replied, her face hardening.

Kouga sighed. “I keep telling you that he is no good. Kagome, why do you even put up with it? You have a male right here who would love to be with you, and you keep looking at Inu Yasha. Why?” He asked, genuinely curious. He had never had as many problems with females as he had with this particular human.

Kagome shrugged. “You already know that I am the reincarnation of Inu Yasha’s first love. Sometimes, I think that Kikyo’s former feelings still reside in me and that is why I put up with so much. Other times, I simply think that I am a glutton for punishment and deserve all that I get. You’re right. You are a good male and I know that you would never treat me in such ways, but sometimes, I think that I deserve to be treated the way he does because I am the one who broke that damn jewel.” She said, staring down at her feet.

Kouga sighed. He walked up behind Kagome and placed his hands upon her shoulders. He felt her stiffen a bit, but then relax in his grip. He pulled her back until her back was against his chest, and he wrapped his arms around her waist. He really liked the way she felt in his arms. He smirked as his hardened cock pressed against her firm backside.

To ease her anxiety about how close she was to him, he asked, “So, who is the unlucky female who has captured Inu-Trasha’s attention?”

Kagome giggled nervously. The way he was pressed up against her made concentrating difficult, but she took in a deep breath and said, “Ayame.”

Kouga cocked an eyebrow. “Ayame. Are you kidding me?” He asked. He hoped like hell that she was serious. If the mutt took Ayame off of his hands, then she would no longer be his problem.

Kagome nodded. “Yeah. She had been following our group ever since that first meeting between the two of you. I just can’t believe that she could switch her feeling just like that.” She replied, shaking her head.

“Does it upset you that she is after him?” Kouga quietly asked. When Kagome shook her head, he tightened his hold on her. He smiled into the crook of her neck. Now that the dog was out of the way, he had a chance, at least that was what the scent her body was emitting was telling him.

“No, but now that he has found somebody else, I wish he would be a bit nicer to me. It’s not like I care who he is sleeping with anymore. I just want to be his friend, but at this moment, I don’t think that will happen.” She replied, her voice soft.

Kouga smiled. He gently turned Kagome towards him and leaned down until his lips were against her ear. “Tell me, Kagome. Wouldn’t it be nice to have somebody that loves you unconditionally? Somebody who is both your friend and lover. Wouldn’t it make you happy to know that someone will always be there even if you make a mistake and won’t yell or curse at you for that mistake? Kagome, let me be to you what Inu Yasha could never be. Let me show you what it means to be loved.” He whispered, his lips tickling her earlobe.

Kagome’s eyes closed. She felt Kouga’s lips move from her ear down to her neck. He gently nipped at the soft skin and allowed his hands to slide up from Kagome’s hips to the tied string in the middle of her back. He took hold of one of the ends and tugged on it, causing the tie to come loose. He slowed when he heard her gasp and he slowly tugged on the other tie, causing the top to fall off of her body and exposing her firm breasts to his eyes. He pulled back and gazed down.

Kagome’s face reddened. When Kouga lifted his head from her neck to stare at her breasts, she tried to hide herself, but he had caught her hands before she could cover up. “No. I am not going to hurt you, Kagome. You have no reason to feel shame for letting me see your body.” He said, his blue eyes gazing intently into her dark ones.

Kagome slowly nodded. She bit her lip and felt Kouga’s fingers stroke a pert nipple. She softly groaned and closed her eyes. However, the minute she felt a pair of warm lips upon that nipple, her eyes flew open and she looked down to see Kouga suckling it with his eyes closed. His tongue swirled around the stiffened peak and he growled softly as Kagome relaxed in his arms.

Satisfied that his new bitch was calm enough for him to continue, Kouga lowered her to the towel and began to kiss his way down to the edge of the cloth that kept him from his goal. He glared at the little piece of material and growled. Shaking his head, he slid his fingers between the fabric and Kagome’s skin and slowly peeled away the tiny bit of material. Now, she was just as bare as he was.

Kagome felt a blush spread across her cheeks and she shyly looked up at Kouga. The wolf’s eyes were trained on her lower body and when he moved, Kagome watched with great interest, wondering what he was planning to do to her.

Kissing his way down her body, Kouga came to her tiny patch of curls. He buried his nose and took a deep breath, savoring and imprinting her scent to both his and his wolf’s mind. Both knew that this bitch was theirs to mate. They knew it, had known it, and was now excited that she had accepted the fact as well.

Kagome arched her back, her body instinctively offering itself up to the lusting wolf, and he did not back down from the invitation.

His mouth descended upon her lower lips, licking and teasing them before allowing his tongue to sweep between the swollen flesh to lick at the pearl that lay nestled in its protective folds. He heard Kagome cry out and he grinned in satisfaction as his chosen spread her legs further apart.

Seizing his opportunity, Kouga gently parted the lips and thrust his tongue into her core, her scream causing his cock to twitch in anticipation of its turn. He allowed his rough appendage to swirl and dig deep into her body and before too long, she had come for him, coating his tongue with her essence. He greedily swallowed all that she had to give to him and he simply wanted more. However, he now had all the time in the world and he was not about to waste anymore time in claiming his mate.

Kagome’s body was on fire. What Kouga had just given to her had been nothing short of sensational. She watched as he lifted his head and brought himself up so that his lips were hovering just over hers.

“I love you, Kagome. I always have. No more crying over some damn mutt who can’t see you for the treasure that you are. You are mine, and I am not willing to share you with him any longer. After today, you belong to me as my mate and as the alpha female of my tribe.” He said, his voice husky.

Kagome gulped and watched as he leaned down and claimed her lips, as if that kiss sealed the deal between them. Kagome’s eyes closed and she opened her mouth to her lover. Kouga’s kiss was unlike anything she had ever experienced and it left her lightheaded.

Breaking the kiss, Kouga eased Kagome onto her hands and knees. He needed to mate her in the way of his people, to teach her which one of them was the dominant one. He wanted her to understand that he held the power and it would be he who protected her, watched over her, carried her, loved her, mated her, and pupped her. He was her alpha, and she would submit.

Kagome gasped when she felt him mold his body to hers. His hand slithered underneath her and began to rub her into excitement. She groaned and pressed herself against her wolf, moaning her pleasure.

Kouga grinned and quickly reached for his stiffened cock. He placed the head at her entrance and with a few gentle thrusts, he was inside of her. His bitch’s moans were driving him insane and he felt his wolf surging to get out and break her, however, he held it back. He needed to be the one to take her virginity. As a human, she needed the gentleness that his wolf could not give to her, but after her virginity had been claimed, his wolf would be able to play.

He grasped her hips and shoved forward, breaking his love’s barrier, and causing her to cry out in pain. His wolf whined as their mate cried, and Kouga laid over her back and began to nuzzle the area that he would mark her. His soft whines brought Kagome’s attention back onto him and after a few minutes, he slowly pulled out and thrust right back in. He knew it was safe to allow his wolf out when she pressed her backside into his stomach. The wolf within him howled and quickly took over, red tint passing over sky blue. The wolf eagerly snarled and began to pound into the bitch, her screams of delight enticing him to become more vicious.

Kagome felt her body shaking and she closed her eyes, waiting until her body released. In such a short time, she had grown addicted to all of the sensations that Kouga had bestowed upon her and hearing him growl and whine at her only heightened her arousal. Her wolf knew where to touch, how to touch, and when to touch, and that drove her wild with need. She could hear him panting as his thrusts shortened and he laid back over her. Suddenly, his fangs embedded themselves deep into her neck and she yelped in pain. He did not release her, but his thrusts grew soft and he whined at her as if telling her that her pain was almost over.

He had claimed his woman as he climaxed. The minute she orgasmed, he fell into his own release, thus signaling his wolf to bite into her. They felt her pain and whined at her to relax and that it was nearly over with. After she quieted down, Kouga’s fangs retracted and he easily slipped from her body, satisfied.

Kagome’s body shook. The pain in her neck was nearly unbearable and she sobbed. She felt Kouga’s lips upon the wound and he began to lick at the mark he made upon her, his tongue instantly soothing her.

Kagome felt his hands roaming over her back and rump as he continued to lick. After a few silent moments, she felt much better and she slowly turned her head to look at him when he moved back.

“Kouga, that was amazing.” She said, her blush returning to her cheeks. Damn, after what they did, she did not know why she was still so shy around him.

Kouga laughed and pulled her into a warm embrace. “Love, I am certainly glad that you enjoyed yourself. We have many nights to explore each other’s body so why don’t we get dressed, and go get Ginta and Hakkaku. We will take you back to the village so that you can tell your friends what has happened. I also want to let them know that we will be joining your quest and that only my hands are allowed on you.” He said, his blue eyes twinkling.

Kagome nodded and wiggled out of his hug. She slid down the rock and went to her pack and pulled out clothing. She quickly dressed and turned to find Kouga standing behind her holding her bikini and towel in his hands. She grinned and shoved them into her pack before hoisting it over her shoulder and taking the hand that her mate extended towards her.
^*^

It had been late in the afternoon when Inu Yasha and Ayame entered the village. Inu Yasha smirked when he saw Sango grinning at him.

“Oi. Where is Kagome? I want to let her know that Ayame is joining our group.” He said, smiling down on the redhead, who nodded vigorously.

Sango’s grin widened. “She is in the hut. She, too, has invited someone to join our group. Well, actually she invited three others to join, but we like them so I am sure that there will not be that big of a problem. So, why not go in and say hello to our new members.” Sango said, chuckling as she turned and led the way.

Inu Yasha growled. It had better not be his fucking brother. He had seen them talking on occasion and each time, he had grown jealous. He had only started talking to Ayame to get Kagome’s attention away from his baka brother and to make her jealous. He knew that when he called her names and fought with her, it hurt her feelings and he wanted her to know how it felt when he would see her and his brother getting along so well. Ayame was very eager to help him. She had told him that she wanted to make Kouga jealous and that he could use her to make Kagome jealous in the process, but lately, she had been hinting that she would not mind being mated to him, but he had news for her. He never intended on mating the annoying female, but she was good for a laugh and a quick fuck, so it was worth the irritation of hearing her go on and on about being mated.

Sango stepped aside and allowed Inu Yasha and Ayame to enter into the hut. Inu Yasha’s golden eyes went wide when he saw his Kagome in the lap of that mangy wolf, Kouga. The way they were holding each other made Inu Yasha’s heart sink, but he quickly recovered and snapped, “What in the fuck is this, Kagome?”

Kagome glanced over at the hanyou and then shrugged. “Kouga, Ginta, and Hakkaku are going to be joining us, Inu Yasha. I see that Ayame is with you, so I can only guess that you want her to join as well. I, for one, am glad to have full-blooded demons with us to help find the shards. Finding them should be much easier this way.” She said, leaning over and kissing Kouga’s cheek.

The wolf smirked at him and then looked at Ayame, who looked as though she wanted to cry. “So, when are you going to be mating Ayame, mutt-face?” He asked, knowing full well that the mutt and redhead were fucking. It was clear in their scents.

Inu Yasha’s face turned a bright red. He glared at the wolf and then snapped, “Hell no, I am not mating her. I am going to mate Kagome. All Ayame is good for is a quick fuck.”

Kouga’s grin widened as he watched Ayame glare up at the hanyou. However, the giggle that came from Kagome caused the wolf to chuckle and say, “You are a little too late, dog-boy. Kagome is already mated to me.”

Inu Yasha snorted. “Yeah, right. Kagome would never stoop so low as to mate with the likes of you.” He retorted.

Ginta and Hakkaku chuckled and then looked expectantly at their leader. It was rare for a male to expose any part of his mate’s body to another male, but in this case, both males were sure that their leader would make an exception.

Kouga’s eyes softened as he looked down at Kagome. He smiled apologetically at her and then moved her hair to the side. He slid her shirt down far enough to proudly show the mark that he gave to her.

Both Ayame and Inu Yasha were stunned. When the wolf straightened her shirt, Kagome buried her face into his neck and he purred loud enough to let Inu Yasha know that what he had seen was real. His woman had been mated to his rival and now, his rival would be joining the group.

Ayame stomped her foot. “Kouga, you were supposed to mate me. How could you mate that human?” She demanded. This was not supposed to happen. Kouga was supposed to be jealous, however, now he sat with that bitch in his lap and they were mated. What would her grandfather say?

Kagome looked up and gave Ayame a smile. “Well, we both thought that since you and Inu Yasha obviously like each other, we would find comfort in each other’s arms, and you know what, we have. As for him supposedly mating you, well, it isn’t going to happen, so find another man to latch onto because Kouga is all mine.” She said, grinning up at the enraged female.

“And what will Sesshomaru say? You and he are pretty buddy-buddy these days, so don’t you think that he will be upset that you have mated?” Inu Yasha asked as he narrowed his eyes.

Kagome happily shook her head. “Nope. He has been telling me for some time to find myself a real demon to love. I am glad that I finally listened to him. You know, he really doesn’t like you and now that I have mated Kouga, I am sure that his comments about me lowering myself to be with you will now stop. I, for one, am a very happy camper.” She said, her fingers twirling a lock of Kouga’s hair.

Inu Yasha growled. “And what do you think about this, Miroku?” He demanded, hoping that the monk would be on his side.

Miroku cocked his head. “You know, after speaking with Kouga and his associates, I think that they would be an excellent addition to the group. I think that things will work out just fine.” He said, standing up. The monk slowly approached the upset female wolf and took her hands. Staring into her large green eyes, Miroku asked, “Ayame, my sweet lady, would you consider bearing me a child since Inu Yasha has so callously tossed your love away?”

Ayame blinked and stared up at the hanyou to see his reaction, but when none came, she growled and balled up her fist. Miroku, thinking that he was about to get knocked out, closed his eyes and waited for the blow to come, but instead he heard a loud smack and then a thud. He opened his eye and looked around. He was still standing on his feet and Inu Yasha was the one who was lying on the ground while Ayame was stomping out of the hut, growling. Miroku let out a breath and grinned. That was a close one. However, a tap on his shoulder made him turn and he was met with a fist, sending him to the ground on top of the fallen hanyou.

Sango grinned and said, “I can’t have him thinking that his behavior is acceptable, no matter what species he begs.” She turned and went to sit by Hakkaku, who gave her a smile.

Kouga shook his head and grinned. He had finally claimed his woman, gotten rid of Ayame, saw Inu Yasha humiliated and knocked out, and last but not least, the hanyou’s pack had accepted him and his men without hesitation. Over all, he would say that this day had been the best day of his life.
