Inuyasha sulked in the corner of the abandoned hut that they were currently occupying, during his last battle he had been wounded and the 'stubborn wench' as he calls her, insisted on bandaging his mere flesh wounds, despite his protests of how he was a half demon, and his wounds would heal in a few hours. She had told him to wait there with the fox kit while she and the others went off to catch dinner at the nearby stream, leaving him with a whiney kit and a lazy neko demon who was currently perched in his lap, pawing at the air.

He sighed in resignation, and batted at the sleeping cat demon's paws, a smirk forming on his lips when she continued to paw at the air above her, meowing in her sleep. His thoughts wandered once again to Kagome, 'Damn bitch... She should know by now that a small wound like this is nothing, she didn't need to waste all of that time putting these bandages on it....' He grumbled outloud with those thoughts, scratching at Kirara's ears.

His stomach growled just as he heard the footsteps of his companions nearing the hut, and he carefully picked Kirara off of his lap and placed her gently on the ground next to where he was sitting, not wanting to wake the sleeping cat. Beating them to the entrance, he slid open the old wooden door with a scowl on his face. "What the hell took ya' so long?" He said, eyeing the gutted fish that were strung up on a sharpened branch.

Kagome 'hmph'ed at his words, turning her nose up as she walked passed him with their dinner. "If you want any, you won't complain." She said with a glare shot in his direction, before pulling a box of matches from her monsterous backpack, and starting the fire. By the time Kagome had the fish set up around the fire on skewers, Shippo was practically drooling on it. "Be careful Shippo, keep drooling like that and you'll put out the fire!" She said with a giggle as the fox kit moved away and flopped onto the ground, whiping his mouth.

'I wonder how Inuyasha's wounds are healing, they were pretty bad...' She sighed, looking over to the half demon with concern showing on her face. "Inuyasha, take off your shirt, I need to check your bandages." She said while walking towards him, grabbing her first aid kit on the way. "Keh, I told you I'm fine. Unlike you, I don't need to wear something to stop me from bleeding all over the place, four days a month." He said with a near snort of smugness. Kagome's cheeks flamed red at his words 'Did he...' Her thoughts trailed off as her anger rose.

A loud slap roared in the hut as Kagome's open hand connected with the side of Inuyasha's face, her fingers twitching as she brought her hand back to her side. Inuyasha's own hand moved to his face, fingers massaging the red outline of a hand that graced his normally pale cheek. "What the hell was that for, wench?" He stressed the last word, raising his voice even louder.

Miroku smiled lecherously, the way that only he could, thoughts of all the palm prints that had found their way onto his face creeping into mind as he sighed almost peacefully, until he noticed the glare coming from Sango. "What are you smiling about, monk?" She spat out between clenched teeth. "Nothing my dear, I was just noticing how the setting sun complime-- " His words were met with a swing of her Hiraikotsu, to the back of his head, effectively knocking him to the ground. "D-Do you think he's alright?" She asked, blinking down at the unmoving monk.

A scream of the word "Pervert" followed by a crashing sound as her palm met his cheek snapped Kagome and Inuyasha back to reality, ending their arguments. "He's fine." She twitched. "I think dinner is ready, Kagome." She turned her attention to the fish, that had turned a nice crispy brown color on the outside.

Kagome clapped her hands together "Let's dig in!" she yelled, her stomach growling from all the work she had done that day, first the battle, then she bandaged up Inuyasha's wounds, and then she had to go fishing! She grabbed three of the fish from the fire, walking over to Inuyasha who was still nursing a rather dark red palm print. He gladly snatched them out of her hands, devouring the first one in just a few bites, before slowing down on the second. "No' haff baf." He muttered with his mouth full, before swallowing a chunk of fish.

Inuaysha walked over to Kagome's backpack, intentionally making as much noise as possible as he rummaged through it looking for breakfast. Taking out five bowls of ramen from her backpack he set them next to the firepit that was located right in the center of the room, under an old diry chimney. "Oi, wake up wench, it's breakfast time." He growled out in his normal gruff voice.

Kagome shifted in her position on the floor, slowly opening her eyes just to shut them again as rays of sun splashed into her sensitive eyes. "Calm dow-" She was cut off as she tried to stifle a yawn." 'Yasha... You won't starve." She used her pet name for him, that she had adopted in the last month, knowing he hated it. "Keh, after that measly meal last night, I just might." He shot back, looking away with a tint of red on his cheeks from hearing his nickname.

She would have shot back a quip, but she was way too tired, 'And that blush on his cheeks is just too damned cute!' She thought before mentally beating herself. 'No more thoughts about him, alright Kagome?' She told herself, stumbling over to her oversized backpack to take out two bottles of water for the ramen. "Here, start the fire." She threw the box of matches at him, nearly hitting in the face, and she surely would have had he not had his half demon reflexes. "Whatever." He struggled with the matches before accidently striking one with a claw, but never one to question his own achievements, he lit remaining wood that was unburnt.

Kagome emptied the bottles of water into the pot to bring it to a boil, walking over to the other sleeping members of the party and poking them to wake them up, making sure her bottom was a fair distance from Miroku before trying to rouse him. "Wake up guys, breakfast is almost ready." She said, glad she wore jeans to bed last night, when she noticed the pervert eyeing her behind and frowning, from what she assumed was a 'No skirt?' frown. That's one thing she had learned the week before, and she had never noticed it until Inuyasha pointed it out to her.

She had woken up in Inuyasha's lap that morning, at his oddly polite 'command' for breakfast she had gone to wake the others, and she seemed to be the only one who noticed the deep growl coming from Inuyasha when she woke the monk. Looking over her shoulder, she noticed a perverted grin on his face and she noticed where his eyes were looking, right at her rear end. She had instantly clutched her skirt to her body and called him every term for voyeur that she knew, and Sango had repeatedly slapped the pervert for staring up her adopted sister's skirt, effectively rendering him unconscious and making him miss that day's breakfast.

The rest of the day was sadly uneventful as they headed back to Kaede's village, Miroku gropes Sango, Sango slaps Miroku causing Kagome to laugh and Inuyasha to smirk. The usual day for the 'gang'.

- - - - -

The sun was beginning to set, and Kagome had noticed Inuyasha getting fidgety up his tree, sighing heavily and growling every time he looked toward the setting sun. "Inuyasha?" She frowned when he didn't acknowledge her, picking up an acorn and throwing it at him. He was startled from his thoughts by the acorn, falling from the tree and hitting the ground with an audable thud. "Damn it Shippo!" He yelled at the kit while getting up to chase him, automatically assuming it was him. "Inuyasha, it wasn't him, now stop chasing him before I say you know what." She said calmly.

He walked over to her with a grumbled "Keh..." looking at the setting sun once again. 'I don't have much time left... Well... Here goes nothing.' He inwardly sighed, as much as he didn't want to admit to himself, he was nervous that she would reject him. "Keh... Hey Kagome, can I talk to you for a minute?" He said the last part low enough so the other's couldn't hear him. She merely nodded and stood to walk by his side. "Oi, don't bother waiting up for us, we'll be gone a while." He didn't bother turning to the others, and just flicked his wrist in their general direction.

She arched a finely curved brow at him, suspicious of what he may want, and he couldn't help but find the small gesture oddly erotic. He returned her gesture with an equally sexy smirk, his bangs shadowing his eyes slightly as thoughts of everything he wanted to do to her tonight ran through his head. She shrugged it off, "What is it you wanted to talk about Inuyasha?" She asked curiously. He didn't answer. "Why are we going so far from the others?" At this, he just snorted in laughter and she glared at him.

She stopped walking and placed her small hands on her deliciously curved hips, and Inuyasha looked back to see a flushed, most likely in anger, Kagome glaring at him. "Feh, calm down, I just don't want to chance that lecher eavesdropping is all." He gave her an all-too-sincere smile, holding his hand out to her. She eyed the hand warily and slowly reached for it. Her hand was snatched and she found herself pressed tightly against him as they leapt through trees, she had no idea where they were going but at this moment she could really care less.

She was placed gently back on her own two feet as they arrived at a small hut. Confusion shown on her face as obvious as could be, as she looked around. The hut was made of a dark wood, though more elegant than most that she had seen in the time she had been in the feudal era. Crudely 'carved' statues stood in front of the small building, as if to ward off evil demon. From how clean it was, it sure didn't seem abandoned. "Inuyasha, who's hut is this?" She asked, a child-like curiousity in her voice. "Keh, mine of course." He replied while heading to the door.

She froze for a minute, ' His hut?' She was startled by the clawed hand that gripped her wrist, pulling her towards the hut. "What do you mean it's your hut?" She was having trouble keeping up, even though it was only twenty feet from where they had been. "I built it." He seemed annoyed with all of the questions, "What do you think I do while you're in your own time?" He was right, she didn't have a clue what he did while she was gone, of course he had enough time to build his own home in the three years they had been together, she just hadn't expected it.

He led her quickly through the large sliding doors, and she peered around the room, modestly decorated with some paintings and wall scrolls that were given to them as gifts, from villages they had protected. 'I thought that Miroku sold all of those.... Oh well, they look nice.' She thought, never thinking Inuyasha to be one for decorating. "Oi, pay attention wench." He laughed out as she tripped over a demon fur rug that she hadn't seen. "Well maybe if you weren't pulling me so fast!" She yelled back, cheeks red from embarassment and frustration.

"Keh," He rolled his eyes and released her wrist."Hurry up." It didn't come out as rough as he wanted, and it sounded like a request more than a command, but he wanted her... 'Now.' She just shrugged and followed behind him through another elaborate sliding door. She noted that this room was obviously the bedroom, as she stepped in she saw a large, double sized mat on the floor. There was a dresser off to one side, with various lamps and candles on top of it. 'I wonder why Inuyasha needs a dresser, doesn't he just have his fire rat clothes?'

Realization donned on her as she heard the door slide closed behind her, and felt Inuyasha's rough fingers trail slowly up her arms. "Kagome..." He breathed out huskily against the back of her ear. "I want you..." His tongue flicked out to she felt an all too familiar warmth start to spread down her back. "Inu..." She was cut off as those rough hands wrapped themselves around her waist, pulling her increasingly warm body flush against him. "Will you have me?" His voice sounded as if he felt rejected by her, and she swallowed the lump in her throat caused by what he was doing.

Inuyasha waited for her answer, tracing slow circles around her belly button through the fabric of her shirt. Her breathing seemed to be evening out, less panicy than she had been when he first approached her, and her body was relaxing into his touch. "I... Inuyasha..." She stuttered out, not able to find the words. He nuzzled her neck and she felt his hot breath fan out against the back of her ear once again, as he whispered in her ear. "Well?" He took a long breath through his nose, overwhelming himself in her scent.

Kagome nodded against his cheek and his lips curled into a smirk. He turned her around swiftly in his arms, and before she could say anything in protest, he had claimed her lips with his own. The kiss seemed to last for ages, but neither of them minded. Her arms had found their way around his neck, and she was gently tugging him towards her to deepen the kiss. Jolts of electricity ran down her spine as they pulled away, both breathing heavily.

She bit her bottom lip. 'Oh God's... Just a kiss... Did this to me?' Even her thoughts seemed to be panting, from lack of oxygen. She shifted on her heels uncomfortably, she didn't know if his demon senses could tell how the kiss had affected her, but when she saw his cheeks turn a light shade of red she figured that he knew what was wrong. 'He's blushing.' She mentally giggled, but then realized that she must be at least ten shades darker than him at the moment.

Their lips met again for a brief kiss, and she made a small whining sound in the back of her throat as he pulled away from her. "Come here, Kagome." His fingers trailed down her arm once again, and he gently grasped her hand in his, giving it a small squeeze before letting their fingers slide apart and walking over to the mat. Her breath hitched in her throat as realization hit her once again, at just how far he was wanting to go. "Inu...Yasha..." She panted out, giving herself a second to catch her breath before continuing. "We... We can't... Not so soon." She was hesitating, and she saw the hurt in his eyes at her words, but she just couldn't do this now.

"Do you.... Not want me?" His voice cracked, and she felt her legs go weak when she saw the look in his eyes. She had told him that she would have him, but now she was rejecting him. 'Gods... I feel horrible..' Her thoughts trailed off for a moment, before she saw him stand and make towards the door. 'Maybe... It won't be too bad.' She told herself, gaining a small amount of courage from her inner pep-talk. "Inuyasha, wait." She called out as he walked passed her. "Hmm?" He mumbled something, but she didn't quite catch it.

She couldn't find her voice, and she could tell he was getting impatient. She walked quickly to the mat he had previously been sitting on, and pulled the surprisingly soft blanket back, crawling under it and covering herself. "Come back." He turned around at her words, and saw a blushing Kagome trying to hide her cheeks with the blanket.

"Ya' sure this time?" He was still a bit weary, but at her nod he smirked and stalked his way back to the mat. He pulled the covers off of her and slipped under them, positioning himself on top of her, elbows against the mat on either side of her shoulders, and one knee between her slightly shaky legs. "Relax a little, 'Gome." He gave her an smile, and her body relaxed a little.

She felt the heat rising in her body once again, as his lips floated just above her own, and his molten amber eyes stared into her's. Inuyasha had planned to tease her some more, make her beg, but he hadn't expected her to lift her head from the pillow and pull his face to her's, their lips crashing together roughly. He lightly sucked and nipped on her bottom lip, causing small sighs and moans to escape the girl. He darted his tongue out across her lips and she opened for him. He entered her mouth and brushed his tongue against her's slowly, as she fought back against him, fighting for dominance.

Inuyasha's knee pressed tight up against her damp core, the friction through her panties causing her to gasp into their passionate kiss and clench her eyes shut tightly. She felt the bulge in his pants press against her thigh and gently pushed against his chest, breaking their kiss.

He frowned slightly, and gave her a puzzled look. "Inuyasha." Her eyes were half lidded, and her breathing was ragged. "I need something... from my bag." He gave an audible groan at those words, "Well where is it?" he rolled his eyes as she looked around, scanning the room before her cheeks turned dark. 'Oh Gods, I left it at camp. He's going to kill me if I make him go get it....' She inwardly sighed and took a deep breath before speaking.

"Back....Back at camp?" She felt as if she was shrinking under his gaze, and could swear she saw an eye twitch. "And what might I ask, dear Kagome, could be that important?" The word 'dear' came out sounding like a threat, and she winced. "Please?" Her voice was small, barely above a whisper and his expression softened slightly.

"Fine," He stood heading towards the door. "Bitch." She felt bad, and could hear him growling before he exited the hut. She sighed, still slightly shaky from what had just taken place, and felt she should take this time to explore Inuyasha's home more fully. Walking through the sliding door that Inuyasha had left open, she walked around the main room and took in her surroundings.

She idly ran her fingers along the tops of carved furnishings, small tables with trinkets atop them were placed around the room. A small bench was placed against the wall, facing a fire pit in the middle of the room. Her eyes moved up to the ceiling and saw a chimney above the fireplace, and lanterns hung in each corner of the square air vent.

The main doors slid open and a frustrated half demon entered, drawing her eyes away from the chimney and to his wet ears. She blinked for a moment, and strained her ears. "It's raining?"She peered out the door before he slid it shut, and saw puddles of water forming along the path. "Why didn't you say something Inuaysha? I wouldn't have made you go!" He 'keh'd in response, tossing her backpack down in front of here and shaking his hair dry.

"Little rain aint goin' to hurt me." He cracked his neck before narrowing his eyes at her. "Now hurry up," He pointed at her bag."And why the hell are you still dressed?"

She ignored him while rummaging through her backpack, searching desperately for a small box. She gave an "Ah-Ha!" of triumph when she pulled the box from underneath her unmentionables. "That's it?" He seemed rather annoyed at her now, having gone through all that trouble just for a box. "It's really importan Inuyasha, trust me." She blushed a dark crimson as she headed back to the room, unbuttoning her blouse.

That was all he needed. 'Well I guess it was worth it after all.' He waited for her to shrug off her shirt before approaching her from behind and wrapping his arms around her. She leaned against him, and let her eyes drift shut as he gently nipped along the back of her neck. His clothes were wet, but she didn't really mind it. The mixture of cool damp fabric against her flushed skin was a soothing sensation, but she brought her thoughts back to the box in her hands.

Inuyasha looped his fingers under the hem of her skirt and pulled it down, watching with a smile as it fell to the ground. His ears perked up as something hit the floor.

Kagome had just gotten the box open as she felt Inuyasha pull down her skirt, causing her to drop the box. Small plastic packages bounced across the floor and she felt herself go stiff in embarrassment. Inuyasha removed his hands from her waist, where they had previously been fondling with her panties and bent down to pick up one of the packages. "What's this?" He sniffed it slightly, but it didn't really have a scent other than the ink that was on the back of it.

"It's... It's called a condom." She bent down, picking up the other ones that had spilled out of the box and onto the floor. "It's something you need to use," She paused, stuffing the last few into the box before continuing. "So I... Don't get pregnant." He didn't seem to understand, and she just shook her head and headed back towards the bed, Inuyasha following close behind.

Before she could pull the covers back, he had her pinned on her back, ravishing her body. Her embarrassment gone, replaced by that warm feeling throughout her entire body, she placed her hand atop his head and idly rubbed one of the fuzzy triangles. She felt a vibration coming from his chest, and giggled at the thought of him purring. Her body seemed to relax itself against him as he left a trail of gentle kisses down her neck, across her collar bone, and finally down her chest and stomach.

His journey down her body ended as he reached the frilly pink fabric of her underwear. She opened her eyes to look down, her gaze met his lust filled amber orbs as he hooked the top of her panties with his fangs, and she watched in fascination as he was able to pull them down all the way to her knees with only his fangs. 'I wonder what else he can do with those.'

He slid the pink fabric off of her with his hand while his mouth went to work on her inner thigh, gentle nips and hard wet kisses trailed their way up to her moist heat. Her heart pounded against her chest violently as she felt his lips glide softly across her outer folds, more softly then she wanted, and she found herself arching into his mouth. His silky smooth tongue glided across her entrance, and he he gave a short 'Mmm' of approval, at her taste.

The vibrations caused Kagome to arch further into him, wanting to feel more of what his tongue had to offer to her. Unfortunately, he pull away causing her to whimper at the loss. "Please.... Don't stop now." She whined out, covering her face with the back of her hand. He frowned at the only thing remaining on her body that kept his eyes from feasting on her beauty entirely.

Kagome felt him fumble around with her bra, pulling and tugging here and there trying to get it off or her. "Let me." She giggled out as she grabbed onto his back with one hand, pulling her self off of the mat slitely so that she could reach behind herself and unhook the bra. As soon as she slid it off of herself, she was pinned back onto the mat with Inuyasha's full body weight, this time his lips found her left nipple and tugged roughly on it, his tongue flicking out to lick the tip. Once he was satisfied, he moved to her other one, giving it the same treatment before trailing wet kisses back up her chest, and capturing her lips.

"No. Fair." She said between kisses, pulling his fire rat shirt apart. "I want to see you too." She whined as she fumbled with the ties of his belt. Frustrated that she couldn't get it off, she settled for pulling his shirt down to his waist, pushing him to sit up on his knees while straddling her hips. She took in the glorious sight above her. Sure, she had seen it before many times, but never was she able to openly examine him without blushing and looking away.

His skin was fair and somewhat pale from being under his fire rat clothing all the time, but his well chiseled chest and abs, his long, lean muscled arms. She pulled herself up against him, running her hand down his arm, fascinated by the way the muscles felt under her finger tips. She heard a low chuckle and felt his chest heave against her as she explored his body and she blushed.

"Sorry," She started. "It's just the first time I've been able to do this." He gave her a kiss on the tip of her nose and made her lie back down as he undid his belt. He stood and moved away from her slightly, turning his back to her as he dropped his pants. She gawked at the body that one could only call gorgeous. As he turned, she gulped, seeing his large manhood stiff and ready for action.

She suddenly remembered something. "Inuyasha, the condoms." She pointed to the floor just out of reach, where the box had ended up when she was pinned to the mat for the first time. He bent down and picked up the box, handing it to her. She pulled one out of the box, tearing the small package open before handing him the slippery rubber contraption.

"What the hell is this?" He asked, not exactly liking the greasy feeling. "You need to... Put it on." She pointed at his throbbingly hard member. He blinked for a second, staring at the small round thing in his hands before turning away from her and trying to slide it over his manhood. She studied the muscles in his back, how they would shift and contract as he moved his arms.

Kagome slid a hand down her body and let her finger trail across the patch of hair above her increasingly wet core, biting back a moan as she watched his body shift. "Is it on ye--" She was cut off by a snapping sound, followed by a string of curses. "God damn it... Do we have to use these things? They smell aweful." He growled out and dropped what remained of the first condom.

Kagome chuckled at the sight. A blushing half demon with glistening fingers, from the lubrication on the shredded condom, was now pouting. "Yes, unless you want me to get pregnant, Inuyasha." She covered her mouth to stop from laughing. "Come here, I'll... Help you get it on." He scooted closer as she opened the next package. She placed it at the tip of his member, and let her hand rest there for a moment, loving the way she could feel his pulse through his manhood.

She pushed gently on the outside of the condom, not expecting it to be so difficult to get it to roll over the head of his manhood. She licked her lips, concentrating hard on trying not to tear the rubber with her fingernails, as Inuyasha had done with his claws. She gave a quiet "Ah-hah." of triumph as she got it to roll past the head, and down his silky shaft. She got it on and noticed how tight of a fit it was, and how he seemed rather uncomfortable with it.

"I'm sorry 'Yasha... But I don't know what we would do if you knocked me up." He blinked at the term she had used, but figured that she meant giving her a pup. He reached out and caught her chin between his fingers, bringing her face to his as he moved himself back on top of her. She captured his lips and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down with her as she laid back on the mat.

"Ready 'Gome?" His voice shook with his desire, and his hot breath fanned out across her cheeks. At her nod, he nudged open her outer lips, sliding himself into her heat. He reached up and pulled her arms down his back, her fingers resting on either side of his spine. "I'm going to get this over with fast, 'kay?" He thrust himself into her at her nod, not quite able to bury himself to the hilt inside of her. Her whole body tensed, and her fingers clenched onto him, digger her nails into his back. He winced slightly as she broke the skin on his back, but he knew it was far less painful than what he had just done to her.

Sweet nothings were whispered into her ear, as her heart beat slowly evened out from the panicked high that it was just at. "You alright now?" He asked as she shifted and raised her hips slightly. She nodded against him, and let her body relax as he began thrusting into her at a slow pace. He nipped at her ear as he settled himself into a more comfortable position, sliding down to his elbows as he continued thrusting.

The thrusts came more quickly, and every once in a while he would catch her by surprise with a very long, quick thrust, pulling almost all the way out before slamming into her forcefully, making her gasp from the mixture of pleasure and an almost non existant pain from the force of it. Her breaths came more rapidly as she bucker her hips against his, trying to keep her lips on his but failing to do so because of the movements of their bodies.

Her toes curled and one of her hands trailed down from his hair, to clench at the blanket beneath the two lovers, caught in passion. She felt her muscles tense, as an unfamiliar pressure built up in her lower areas. "In..Inuyasha... So good." She breathed out against his shoulder. The hand that wasn't clutching the blanket moved to rest itself on his neck, clenching and unclenching each time he thrust deeply into her.

She gasped out his name silently as her orgasm hit her, her finger nails bit into the flesh on Inuyasha's collar bone, and small droplets of blood trickled onto her chest as her inner muscles gripped Inuyasha's manhood inside of her and he let out a deep growl just as his own climax hit him, pumping himself into her until he felt himself finish releasing inside of her.

The couple seemed to glow in the light of the new moon as they stayed in that position for a few moments, panting breathlessly, in desperate need of oxygen after their exhertions. Inuyasha pulled out of her slowly, and Kagome let out a soft whimper at the loss of contact, kissing him on the cheek before panting for more air. "That was amazing." she said in two quick breaths.

Inuyasha's cheeks tinted somewhat pink, and his expression changed to somber as he looked down at her core. There was blood, and not a little. "Are you alright, Kagome?" He seemed to panic, but relaxed a little when her hand found one of his furry ears. "I'm fine... Love." She closed her eyes and lay back against the pillow, turning her head to the side. 'I'm exhausted.' A shy smile formed on her lips as she heard his whisper."I love you too, 'Gome."

She heard a rustling noise and the -snap- of elastic as Inuyasha removed the condom and tossed it into a straw basket a few feet away. "Damned thing was annoying."

She opened her eyes slowly when she sensed something odd. Her eyes shot open as she took in the sight in front of her. Inuyasha's ears seemed to vanish into an aura, pulled towards the new moon, his hair chainging from silver to black as if he had been dipped in ink, and the claws on his hand retracted and blunted into human nails. Her breath hitched in her throat when his now violet eyes peered over his shoulder at her, his own lips parted slightly from the sensation that his transformation caused.

"Inuyasha, I didn't know tonight was... That night." She seemed to silently ask him why he hadn't told her.

"Keh, why do you think I brought you here, wench?" He shot her a smirk over his shoulder before turning his body to face her. "The forest would have been fine for me, any other night." He stood and stretched his weary limbs, and her eyes trailed down to the patch of hair just above his manhood, now that same inky black color. She also noted, that besides his ears and hair color, not a lot of his anatomy changed.

A droplet of blood ran down his flawless chest and hit the floor with a soft thud. Kagome's hand went to her mouth as she realized she was the one who caused his bleeding. "Oh my God, Inuyasha I'm sorry!" She stood and took a shakey step forward before her legs gave way. She let out the breath she had been holding when Inuaysha's form swooped her up into his arms before she could end up much like Inuyasha would, when she says 'it'.

He lay her back down on the mat and kissed her gently on the lips. "You've got blood on you too." He smirked, dipping down to lap up the drops of his own blood that had spilled onto her. Kagome ran her fingers through his hair as he licked her clean, but they both paused as her fingers snagged the beaded necklace that he still wore.

"Hey, Inuyasha?" He 'hmm'ed into her shoulder. "Do you, um, promise to be good?" He knew what she meant, she wanted to remove the prayer beads and take away her only defense against him. "...Yes." After a moment of silence, that one word seemed to echo through the room, and with one swift movement the sound of beads hitting the floor and bouncing off of the walls replaced the echo of Inuyasha's voice.

There was no awkward silence like Kagome had expected, instead she felt Inuyasha's weight against her as he embraced her in a tight hug. "Inuyasha... I can't breath." She pushed gently against his chest, hoping he would get the hint and let her breath. He rolled them over until she was lying on top of him, but never released her from the bear hug he had her in.

"Thank you." With those words, he finally released her from his grasp. She merely nodded dumbly, yawning into his shoulder and closing her eyes. 'This is home.' The thought echoed in her mind as the dream world took her. He heard her breathing even out and pulled the blanket on top of them, breathing in her scent deeply and allowing himself to slip into that same dream world that his beautiful priestess was in, and it was that same priestess that dominated every second of his dream that night.

Well that's it. I know it wasn't too great, and the fluff sucked for sure. Ack, my head isn't working right today. >< Maybe I should go see a doctor.
