WARNING: CHAPTER CONTAINS LEMONS

 

This story has been posted before, under the same name. I was forced to remove it, due to complaints, but as you can see it is now rewritten and reposted, and hopefully I will not have the same problems with this version. For those of you who read my original version, this one has seen some changes in parts, and while the main plot of the story is unchanged I would still recommend rereading the entire story to avoid being confused.

 

CHAPTER 6

 

Kikyo was usually a heavy sleeper, but tonight she was too giddy over the praise Inuyasha had given her earlier, over the fine work she had done in organizing the library, and over the fact that she would no doubt, be once again taking her rightful place at Inuyasha's side during the offerings tomorrow morning. The excitement was doing a good job of keeping her awake so far.

 

Just as she was finally starting to fall to sleep, she was once again brought fully awake by the sound of the whore that slept in the room next to hers getting up and leaving through the door to the garden. Damn that bitch! Kikyo rolled over and tried to get back to sleep, annoyed that her late night trip to the bathroom, or whatever it was, was keeping her awake like this.

 

After a while though, Kikyo realized that Kagome hadn't come back. What on earth was she doing out there? She should be asleep by now, as much work as they were all expected to do tomorrow. Suspicion and curiosity was eventually enough to make Kikyo get up to go find out what the whore was up to.

 

When she entered the garden she was surprised to see that Kagome was out here, sitting on one of the benches talking to their God! Inuyasha never just sat and talked casually with his priests or priestesses, or at least he never had with Kikyo. However, she was sure that it couldn't be anything more than a casual encounter, Inuyasha had likely just stumbled across Kagome and, feeling bored so late at night, had stopped to talk to her or something like that. Yes, it must just be something innocent like that. Of course her God wouldn't be interested in someone like Kagome for anything more. So far neither of them had spotted her. Deciding that Inuyasha was likely very bored if he must spend his time with that whore, Kikyo had just decided to go over and see if Inuyasha wanted to talk to her instead, when she saw something that made her heart stop beating.

 

She could not believe it! It couldn't be! But it was, Inuyasha was leaning forward to kiss Kagome.

 

***

 

Inuyasha wasn't aware of anyone or anything except Kagome as he gently pressed his lips against hers. She tasted so sweet and part of him couldn't help but wonder why he had waited so long to do this. However, she wasn't reacting to his kiss as he has hoped she would and just sat there in shock. Disappointed and hurt, yet not truly surprised, Inuyasha started to pull away.

 

Kagome was beyond shocked when she felt Inuyasha's lips on her own, and it was that shock that kept her from reacting right away. For a moment she found herself wondering if this was another of those wonderful dreams she had been having on and off ever since she first came to this temple. It was the realization that Inuyasha was starting to pull away from her that finally broke through her shocked daze. Mentally yelling at herself not to lose this chance, she quickly kissed him back.

 

Inuyasha didn't have the words to express how happy and relieved he was when he felt Kagome kiss him back. Maybe she felt something for him after all. Or maybe, and this thought caused a stab of pain in his heart that was greater than anything he had ever felt before, she felt that it was her duty as his priestess to kiss him back and that was why she was doing so. He didn't want that, anything they would share would have to be because they both wanted it. Otherwise he was no better than Naraku. Pulling away from the kiss, he moved back enough so that he could look her directly in the eyes. He had to find out where they both stood on this before anything else happened between them.

 

“Kagome, I have to tell you something.” Inuyasha said softly, his voice deadly serious. This was going to be a hard conversation to get through, as he had never been good at expressing his feelings, but somehow he would manage. Kagome was worth it after all.

 

Kagome was still in the blissful daze the kiss had left her in. The kiss was far gentler than she had expected, and left her tingling all over. For her first ever kiss, Kagome thought that it went better than she could have ever hoped for. Inuyasha's serious tone of voice however brought her immediately back to the here and now. Looking in his eyes, she saw the same serious look in them that she had heard in his voice. Inuyasha appeared almost grim as he looked at her, and Kagome found herself becoming nervous. Was he regretting the kiss? Was he about to tell her that it was a mistake and that she had to forget about it?

 

Still looking at Kagome, Inuyasha saw and sensed her sudden nervousness and found himself getting worried himself. Was she afraid of him now? Inuyasha decided then that he needed to get through this conversation NOW, he needed to tell her how he felt and he also had to make it clear that it would be her choice and her choice alone whether or not things went any further. He wouldn't try to push her.

 

“Kagome.” Inuyasha said, pausing to take a deep breath as if it would help him get through this. “These last few months you've been here, I've found myself drawn to you more and more. You're unlike any other mortal I've ever known. You're loyal, determined, passionate, and you may very well be the only creature in Earth, heaven or the underworld that has a stubborn streak that rival's my own.” He smiled at that, and was relieved that Kagome managed a small, shy smile of her own as well. “And you're beautiful. You're so beautiful. Kagome, please don't think I'm a letch like Miroku, or even worse a lust-filled monster like Naraku. But I… I want you. I have for so long now, but now I just can't bring my self to hide it anymore.”

 

Kagome's eyes were so wide part of her was afraid she was going to strain something. Now she knew this was a dream. Inuyasha was sitting there telling her he wanted her? The look that was beginning to show itself on his face left her in no doubt that he meant what she thought he meant, hoped he meant. She was so shocked she couldn't speak.

 

Inuyasha watched as Kagome's eyes went wide and she sat there in silence. He was worried about what she was thinking, and cursed the fact that his ability to sense things was limited the way it was. He could easily sense evil within a person, and emotions like anger, hate and fear stood out fairly clearly as well. With every other emotion out there though, he was on his own and had to rely on his eyes and ears to guess what a person was thinking. And right now the only thing showing on Kagome's face was shock.

 

Gently reaching up to tuck a loose hair behind her ear, Inuyasha continued. “This isn't something I'm asking of you as my priestess, Kagome. This isn't some duty you have to perform. I'd never ask that of you. Anything that happens or doesn't happen between us is entirely your choice, and I will honour whatever you decide. If you don't want me the way I want you, just say so and I will never bother you about this again. Either way, I give you my word that anything you say to me tonight will not affect how you are treated here at the temple.”

 

Kagome felt her eyes start to fill with tears at Inuyasha's words. He looked somewhat panicked at the sight of her crying, but it wasn't for the reasons he feared. She was so happy, and so grateful. Although Kagome herself had not even thought of it in those terms until he said it, Inuyasha was well aware of the fact that, as Kagome's God, it could be considered that he had the right to demand that she sleep with him whether she wanted to or not. He was leaving the choice entirely in her hands, and promising her that in no way would she be punished for refusing him. With this gesture, he was in fact making Kagome's love for him grow even more, but before she answered him she had to know something.

 

“Why?” Kagome asked softly, a couple of tears still falling down her face.

 

“Why?” Inuyasha repeated, confused about what exactly she was asking. “Kagome I would never try in any way to force you to…”

 

“No.” Kagome interrupted. “I mean, why do you want me? What's so special about me that you're asking this now? Please my Lord, before I give you my answer, I need to know where I stand with you.”

 

Kagome knew that whatever he said now, her answer would be the same. She knew that she would likely never get an opportunity like this again, and that if she did not take it she would regret it for the rest of her life. But before she did anything else, she just had to know where she stood with him, so that she could prepare herself for whatever was to come when this night was over.

 

Inuyasha was barely able to resist the urge to bite his lip nervously upon hearing her question. She just had to ask him that. If it was hard for him to say everything else he'd said tonight, this might very well prove to be all but impossible. But if he was going to ask this of her, she had the right to hear it. She had the right to hear how much he loved her.

 

“Kagome.” Inuyasha had to pause and take a minute to gather his courage. This would likely be the hardest thing he ever had to do. If she rejected him after he said this, he didn't know if he'd been able to stand it. “This isn't easy for me to say, so please don't interrupt me until I'm done talking, okay?” He paused while Kagome nodded her acceptance of his request then pushed on before his courage once again failed him. “Like I said before, you are unlike anyone I've ever met before. The truth is, you're basically everything I ever wanted in a woman but thought I would never find. Everything and more. I tried to fight my feelings at first, because honestly I wasn't sure how things between a God and a mortal could possibly work out the way I knew I wanted them too, but I just couldn't stop them. Over time they continued to grow. I realize now that whatever the future might hold, I want to be with you for as long as I possibly can, and screw whatever the consequences are.”

 

Inuyasha took another deep breath, preparing himself before plunging forward. Now for the REALLY hard part. “I… I love you Kagome. I'll understand if you don't feel the same way about me, but you deserve to know. I love you; I think I fell in love with you the very first moment I saw you. It just took a while to admit that to myself.”

 

Now Kagome was really in shock. Her whole body froze, and couldn't move or speak if her life depended on it. She felt as if she had just been struck my lightening, every nerve in her body was tingling. This couldn't be real, this all had to be some wonderful dream, didn't it? Inuyasha was in love with her, just as she was with him?

 

Inuyasha's ears dropped in grief as time passed and still Kagome said nothing. So, she didn't return his feelings after all. Well, it wasn't like he could blame her could he, not after he himself refused to say anything to her for so long. Still, that didn't stop his heart from breaking into peaces no bigger than grains of sand. He loved her so much, and to find that she didn't love him too hurt more than he knew he'd ever be able to say. He was just about to get up and leave, unable to take much more of her rejection, when Kagome suddenly shocked him by grabbing two handfuls of his hair, and dragging him towards her for another kiss, this one far more intense and passionate than the first one they shared. It took Inuyasha all of half a second to respond, happily kissing her back with equal passion.

 

Kagome was the first to break off the kiss, her need for oxygen finally becoming too much. Panting slightly, she leaned back enough to look Inuyasha in the eye. He now looked as shocked as she had felt earlier by her sudden enthusiasm, though certainly not unhappy about it.

 

“I love you too.” Kagome whispered softly, barely able to believe that the words she had felt for so long were finally coming out of her mouth. “I love you so much. I just never dared let myself believe that you could ever fall in love with someone like me.”

 

Inuyasha looked ecstatic upon hearing her words, and leaned forward to give her another kiss. This one only lasted for a few seconds, but he still managed to convey all of his happiness and love through it before he pulled away and rested his forehead against hers.

 

“Believe it Kagome, because it's true.” He said with the biggest smile Kagome was sure she had ever seen on his face. “And if I have my way, you'll be hearing that every day for the rest of your life.”

 

Kagome smiled back. “Thank you Inuyasha.” She said, using his name to his face for the first time, much to Inuyasha's delight. “And about that answer I promised you before? I want to be with you tonight, if you will let me.” She continued, feeling suddenly shy.

 

Kagome had thought the smile he was sporting before huge, but it was dwarfed by the one that appeared when she said those words. Eagerly - yet slowly and gently, as he didn't want to scare her - Inuyasha stood up and took Kagome's hand leading her in the direction of his room.

 

Inuyasha sent a couple of blasts of telekinetic power ahead of them to open the doors for them, unwilling to waste the time it would take to do so by hand, and even more unwilling to let go of Kagome's hand. Now that he knew that she loved him like he did her, the desire to have constant contact with her was nearly overwhelming. Although he knew it would shock most mortals to learn that Gods could dream, the truth was they could and did, and Inuyasha was half afraid that all of this was just a wonderful dream. After months of loving and wanting Kagome, the fact that she was here with him now seemed almost too wonderful to believe. Yet this all felt too real to be a dream. Desperately hoping that he was right, he gently led his love into his room.

 

Kagome had never had the opportunity to be in Inuyasha's room before. It wasn't anything like her own room that was for sure. This room was at least double, maybe even triple in size. The walls were covered in intricate hangings, and the two windows looking out into the garden were covered with fine curtains. The room was a little sparse in the way of furniture. There was a medium sized table with three chairs on one side of the room, closer to the door than the back wall. Another table that was topped with a washbasin was further in and set against the wall. There were a number of torches mounted on the wall, most of which were still lit although a few had burnt out. Everything in here was of much finer quality than Kagome had ever seen, even when handling the offerings for the last week. These things would add honour to the house of even the greatest King.

 

All of Kagome's attention, however, was almost immediately brought to the bed set against the far wall. Easily large enough for four people to sleep on it comfortably, it was a far cry from the wooden cots common in this land. Built on a sturdy wooden frame, it was topped with a thick feather-filled mattress, which even from where Kagome was standing looked softer and more comfortable than anything she had ever seen before. It even had soft looking pillows and blankets made of the finest fibres. She knew she would be sharing that bed with Inuyasha tonight and found herself shuddering, not with nervousness, but excitement.

 

Inuyasha saw Kagome shutter as her eyes fell on his bed, and were it not for the suddenly strong scent of arousal coming from her he would have feared that she was having second thoughts. Wanting to reassure away any lingering fears she might be having, he leant forward to kiss her again. He meant for the kiss to be soft and sweet, but when Kagome kissed him back with a passion, he was happy to go along with it. He smiled into the kiss, once again reassuring himself that this was what she wanted. Without breaking from his beloved's lips, he sent another couple of bursts of telekinetic energy out, one to shut the heavy doors to the room, another to close the drapes. Just in case.

 

Finally breaking off from the kiss when he sensed Kagome's growing need for oxygen, he once again gently took her by the hand and led her to the bed, with Kagome following eagerly. Reaching the bed, Inuyasha climbed onto the mattress and knelt, sitting back on his feet. He pulled her on after to sit in front of him, then leaned forward to kiss her again, this time reaching out to also grasp her breasts through the fabric of the simple nightdress she was wearing. When Kagome gasped at the feeling of his hands on her breasts, he took the opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth. This almost instantly resulted in a duel between the two of them for control of the kiss, in which the priestess happily conceded defeat to the God after a short, half-hearted struggle.

 

Inuyasha felt like he was in heaven, with his hands on his lover's body and his tongue within her mouth, but he still wanted more. Watching carefully for any sign that she didn't want this, Inuyasha gently helped Kagome out of her nightdress, somehow managing to resist the urge to simply shred it with his claws, and encouraged her to lie back on the bed, now wearing only the thin undergarment that continued to hide her womanhood. Kagome not only offered no resistance, but in fact helped him eagerly.

 

Once Kagome was lying flat on his bed panting lightly in her excitement, Inuyasha took a moment to simply stop and admire her beauty. The woman he loved was truly breathtaking. Seeing that she was starting to look a little nervous with his scrutiny, Inuyasha smiled at her before laying down along side her and leaning over to kiss her. As she happily kissed him back, his hand reached over to kneed at her left breast. Hearing her gasp in pleasure at the feeling, Inuyasha smiled and took his lips away from hers to kiss a path down along Kagome's jaw and neck, passed her collar bone until finally reaching her gorgeous breasts, stirred on the entire time by the steadily increasing sound of Kagome's panting. Gently he took her right breast into his mouth while he continued to kneed her left one with his hand. He kissed her breast and suckled like a child on the nipple for a few minutes before switching to give her other breast the same treatment, while his hand went lower to gently cup her womanhood through her undergarment.

 

Kagome lay withering underneath the form of her God while he lavished her breasts with attention and gently cupped her special place through the fabric. Her body absolutely loved what he was doing to her, but she wanted to return the pleasure he was giving. She slid her hands along his chest, and encouraging him without words to take his vest off. Inuyasha was happy to comply, and quickly shrugged the garment off before carelessly throwing it to some corner of the room. Once the vest was gone and she was unhindered, Kagome returned to the tacks of stroking his firm chest, awakening a fire everywhere she touched before she let one hand slide from his chest to his stomach and below. Kagome was surprised to discover that Inuyasha's pants were gone, as she did not remember him taking them off. Somewhat nervously she reached out to grasp his now freed manhood. She was a little shocked by how large it felt in her hand, but quickly pushed that aside. He WAS a God after all. She cautiously moved her hand up and down along his shaft, worried about doing something to displease him, and was relieved and delighted to hear him groan in pleasure, his face still pressed into her chest.

 

Inuyasha could barely believe it when Kagome reached down to grasp his shaft. He had been worried while removing his pants that maybe he was moving too fats for her, but apparently not. It seemed too good to be true, but then again so did everything else that had happened between them this evening. Although he hated to lose the feeling of her hand there, he nevertheless knew that if she kept this up he might very well finish too early and he didn't want that. Moving away from her so that she lost her grip on him, much to her disappointment, he reached out to take hold of her undergarment and gently removed the last piece of clothing between them.

 

Finding herself lying completely naked before her God, all of the doubt and fear that Kagome had so far been repressing found itself coming to the forefront.

 

Inuyasha was gazing down at her in awe, admiring the perfection of her body now that it was entirely bared to his eyes. However when Inuyasha gently touched her between her legs he felt his lover tense up, and paused to look down at her, worried that maybe this was all going to fast for her and she wanted to stop. “What's wrong Kagome?” He asked gently, clearly sensing her fear. “I thought this is what you wanted. If this is too much for you…”

 

“No!” Kagome cried in a whisper. “It's not too much and this is what I want. It's… it's just that this is my first time and…” She trailed off, embarrassed.

 

“It's okay Kagome.” Inuyasha said gently, wanting to sooth her fears. “I know it hurts most women the first time but I promise I'll be gentle with you.”

 

Kagome nodded, but Inuyasha couldn't help but notice that she was still tense and scared.

 

“That's not all, is it?” He asked gently, trying not to be hurt by her reactions. A woman's first time was a big deal after all, and no doubt very scary for her. For that matter, this was a big deal for him too. While it certainly wasn't his first time, it was his first time with her and he wanted it to be special for the both of them. If need be, he was more than willing to wait until she felt truly ready, but he wanted to do whatever he could to ease her fears now. He didn't want her to be afraid of him.

 

Kagome looked away, feeling unable to look him in the eyes while she answered him. “I… I just don't want to disappoint you. I've never been with anyone before and I just don't know how to… I just want to be able to please you.”

 

Inuyasha felt his heart clench at those words.

 

“Kagome.” Inuyasha said both fondly and reassuringly as he leaned over to nuzzle his cheek against hers. “You could never disappoint me. I love you. You've already given me more pleasure than I can possibly put into words when you told me that you loved me too. I'm just happy to have you with me, whatever way you're comfortable with. If this is too much for you to handle tonight, so be it, but I swear that if you want to continue then I will do everything in my power to ensure that you don't regret it.”

 

Kagome turned to look at Inuyasha, and saw the sincerity in his eyes. She felt her own eyes fill with tears, and she sat up just enough to kiss him. He was so good to her, and she loved him so much.

 

When the kiss finally ended and Kagome lay back down, Inuyasha took the time to look at her closely before asking the question on his mind.

 

“Do you want to continue? If you want to stop, I'll understand.”

 

Kagome smiled, although she still looked a little nervous. “I want to do this, truly I do.”

 

Inuyasha was relieved. Although he would have stopped without complaint had she wished it, he still would have likely had to go sit in the river for a couple of hours in order to get rid of his hard-on.

 

“If it gets too much for you, just tell me and I'll stop.” Inuyasha said firmly, before once again returning to where he had been, with his fingers gently rubbing her womanhood. Encouraging her legs to open wider to give him better access, he continued to rub her while watching her changing expressions and was relieved when the last remains of her fears morphed into pure pleasure. He explored Kagome to the fullest, placing a finger inside of her, then two, and finally three. He moved them inside of her, while he used his thumb to continue to massage her nub. Under attack by his skilled fingers, it wasn't long before she was bucking off the bed in pleasure while her inner juices rushed out to coat his fingers.

 

As she slowly came down from her climax, he cautiously moved his body over hers and placed the tip of his erection at her opening. He wanted so badly to enter her, but he would not do so until she told him she was ready.

 

“Are you sure that you want this?” Inuyasha asked once more when he saw her eyes focus on his. “If not, tell me now and I'll stop. This isn't something that can be undone.”

 

Kagome simply smiled and nodded. Her fears had disappeared under his gentle words and skilled fingers. She trusted him, she loved him, and she wanted to give herself to him fully. While she still wanted to please him, she believed him when he said that he was just happy she was here with him.

 

Inuyasha smiled back, happy and relieved as he started to slowly and gently enter her. He moved with constant pressure, breaking through the barrier that stood as proof of her virginity, until he was fully within her. Kagome winced as she felt her innocence give way, but it hadn't been as bad as she was expecting. She knew it was because he had been especially gentle with her.

 

Fighting against and conquering the urge to pound into her and find his own release, Inuyasha held still and looked deeply into Kagome's eyes to see if she was okay. He would go slow and make sure that this was good for both of them, even if it killed him. Kagome had given him all of herself, and he would make damn sure she didn't regret it.

 

“Kagome?” He asked softly. “Are you okay? Did I hurt you?”

 

“Not really.” Kagome said, looking up at her love in something like amazement. Even the slight pain she had felt before was giving way, replaced by the feeling of being pleasantly full. “It only hurt a little, and I feel fine now. Is this it? I thought there was more to it.”

 

Inuyasha grinned down at her. “That was just the hard bit.” He said with a smirk. “Now comes the fun bit.”

 

With that Inuyasha started to move within her, being careful to be gentle with her. He wanted her to enjoy this as much as he did. Kagome's eyes widen as she realized what he meant. This felt amazing, no wonder there were so many people out there who long for this. She only hoped that she was making Inuyasha feel as good as he was making her feel. He was filling a place she hadn't even realized was empty before, causing wave after wave of pleasure to rush through her every time he moved.

 

Inuyasha was hardly a virgin. He'd had so many partners over the centuries, and had had sex so many times, that at times he couldn't even keep it all straight in his head. This was hardly new to him, so why did being with Kagome feel so much better than being with any of the women he had been with in the past? Was it just that this time he was in love, was the feelings of his heart somehow intensifying the feelings of his body? He didn't know and right now he frankly didn't care. This was beyond fantastic. And to think, she had been worried about not being able to please him. That was SO not a problem.

 

Inuyasha felt his release approaching, but managed to hold it off for now, wanting Kagome to come with him. Just when he thought he couldn't take it anymore, he felt Kagome's muscles start to spasm around him, pulling him in even further. The feel of her muscles clamping down on him and the sound of her screaming his name was enough to make him finally lose it as he released his seed into her willing and waiting body.

 

Pulling his now soften member out of her with a low groan, he moved to collapse next to her and pulled her into his side. Being a God he could have easily gone on for several more rounds, but he could tell that Kagome was tired and needed to rest.

 

“Kagome.” He said softly, feeling that he needed to say something to her. Once he saw that he had her attention, he continued. “I meant every word I said before. I love you. That is not something I say lightly.”

 

“I know.” Kagome said softly, snuggling into Inuyasha's side and letting out a yawn. She was falling asleep but there was something she needed to say first. “I love you too.”

 

Inuyasha smiled and pulled Kagome closer. Kagome, his beautiful Kagome, the first and only woman he ever loved. Happy to have her by his side with her wonderful scent filling his senses, he allowed himself to drift off to sleep, feeling that nothing could hurt either of them as long as they had each other.

 

***

 

Kikyo had stood in the garden, unable to move and barely able to breath, as she watched Inuyasha and Kagome talk and share not one but two kisses. She then saw her God take Kagome by the hand and lead her out of the garden. Kikyo was in such a state of shock that she just stood there without moving for a good five minutes before she finally realized that Inuyasha had in fact led Kagome in the direction of his room.

 

No.

 

Finally coming out of her shock, Kikyo ran in the direction of Inuyasha's room desperate to be proven wrong, only to find the doors to the room shut when she got there. Knowing that no sound would emerge while the door was shut, even if the two of them were screaming at the top of their lungs (which, Kikyo realised in horror, they might be), Kikyo ran back out of the hall and towards the window from Inuyasha's room into the garden.

 

When she reached the spot outside the window, she was angry and disappointed to discover that the drapes were also shut, and whether by some magic of her God's or coincidence, no sound was emerging from there either.

 

With a heavy yet determined heart, Kikyo headed back into the hall. Once there she settled into a darkened corner that gave her a clear view of the doors to Inuyasha's room, but would leave her at least partly hidden, she sat down to wait until the two of them emerged, and either confirmed or denied her suspicions. She was prepared to wait all night if she had to.
