Okay so I am gasp following the rules...wow I'm even surprised at myself...Anyway, anyone casually reading this is going to be extremely confused because there is a Love Scene in this chapter and I had to cut it out somewhere so that it wouldn't be considered to racy... enter author's eye roll here... so if you want to read the "dirty" (although not dirty) version go to the media miner page that is listed in my Author's bio. I have to say: "The Chapter on Media Miner is considered adult material so if you are under the age of 18 please do not read it". But in all honesty, there is absolutely nothing that I can do to stop you from reading it.
I highly recommend downloading the song "New Messiah" By The Philosopher Kings, as it is the song meant to be in this chapter. If you can't find it or are unable to download you can download it here: http/s 12.yousendit. com/d. aspx?id 3LFT0XSRKL33X1 WXHM28HK12U3(remove the spaces)
It will be available for 7 days or however many Downloads it can take…I'll re check it from time to time to make sure that it is still available.
As always I don't own any characters or anything, but the story line is mine. R/R but try not to flame me….it makes the inner demon come out and be nasty.
"You want me to what?" Inuyasha demanded as Kagome skated by him.
"Oh come on Inuyasha, I swear that it's really not that hard!"
Her voice was a lot happier now that she knew Souta was going to be alright. Inuyasha stared down at his feet and snarled at the rollerblades that covered them. After phoning almost everyone that she knew, and even a few people that she didn't, Kagome had been able to find a pair of rollerblades to fit Inuyasha. The hard part was trying to get him to move in them. He didn't like the feeling of not being in control of his body and had more than a few scratches from falling on the rough pavement of the temple.
Inuyasha moved to take a step and his feet flew out from under him. "Screw this!" He yelled, rubbing the now tender spot on his backside.
He started pulling at the skates, trying to get them off. He even moved so far as to bring them up to his teeth before Kagome skated over and stopped him. "Don't worry; we still have plenty of time for you to learn how to skate."
She reached down and grasped his hands, pulling him to his feet. He wasn't straight for two minutes when he slipped again. He caught Kagome around the waist and held on for dear life as his legs struggled to get back beneath him. By now Kagome was gasping for breath against her laughter. Inuyasha brought his legs back beneath him only to have his legs slide between Kagome's making the two of them fall to the ground.
Kagome's eyes had tears in them from laughing, and the sound was like music to Inuyasha's ears. Neither of them noticed the compromising position they were in as Inuyasha continued to pout while Kagome giggled.
"Boy, you really do suck at this!"
Inuyasha stared up at her as she started to wipe the tears from her eyes. She broke into another round of giggles and he reached up and ran a hand through her hair. Her laughter stopped as his fingers pressed against her scalp softly, and for the first time she noticed the position they were in. Before she could pull away he pushed himself up on his elbows, making the position much more casual, and far less intimate.
"It makes me happy to see you smile."
She smiled softly at his gentle words and hugged him tightly. "Thanks for coming with me."
She pushed herself to her feet and away from Inuyasha a little. She reached down and pulled him back up to his feet. She grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the benches so that he could sit down for awhile. She continued to skate around the courtyard, her hair blowing behind her as she picked up more speed.
"Kagome?" Inuyasha called, making her turn directions and skate over to him. "Do you like me better as a human?"
Kagome gave him a strange look. "You know the answer to that. I like you as a half demon, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha's face fell. Had his ears been the way they were normally they would have flattened against his head in sadness. "Just like?"
Kagome's head cocked to one side as she studied him, trying to understand what he was asking her. She finally sat down beside him with a sigh. She stared at the top of his head where his ears usually sat. She was really starting to miss those ears. Her breath tickled his skin as she brushed his hair aside and leaned into his human ear.
"Inuyasha, I love you as a half demon."
Inuyasha shivered as she pressed her lips to his ear and then rested her head on his shoulder. Neither of them noticed the streaks of silver that began to appear in his black hair.
Shippou stared up at the moon and wondered how Inuyasha and Kagome were doing. He was starting to miss them both and was hoping that they would show up in the feudal era sometime soon. He suddenly became worried that Inuyasha might remain stuck in Kagome's era, in a human body, a thought that he didn't like at all.
"Kaede, you are sure that the potion will wear off at sunrise right?" Shippou asked the older woman.
"As long as something doesn't set him off emotionally the spell will break as soon as the sun rises." Kaede reassured Shippou.
"So he just has to remain happy and not get too mad then?" Shippou asked happily. "That's a relief."
Kaede waited until the young kit ran towards the well happily before shaking her head. "I wish it were that simple."
Miroku and Sango glanced at each other before looking at Kaede. "What do you mean lady Kaede?" Miroku asked.
"I don't mean an angry emotion Miroku. The truth is as long as his body doesn't become to emotionally or physically stimulated then he will be fine." Kaede said with a knowing wink in Sango's direction.
The young demon slayer blushed as she caught Kaede's meaning. "Well, let's just hope that they don't suddenly decide to act on their attraction."
Kagome tugged on Inuyasha's arm as they entered the roller rink. "Come on, I promise you will have an easier time here then you did at the temple!"
Inuyasha fought the desire to roll his eyes. "Yeah right."
"Honestly!" Kagome insisted. "The surface here is really smooth."
Inuyasha glared at her playfully, more silver streaks subtly appearing in his black hair. "Easy for you to say, you know what you're doing."
Kagome rolled her eyes and pushed him down on a bench so that they could pull their skates on. Kagome's friends seemed to flock to them and Inuyasha watched Kagome as she idly chatted with them. He leaned down to check to see if he had done up his skates the way that she taught him when something caught his eye.
He looked up and found Hojo staring at Kagome. He knew that the human boy liked her, but now he looked like he wanted to ravage her right in the middle of their group of friends. Inuyasha had to admit that she looked good in her tight jeans and her tight black tank top, but he didn't like anyone else agreeing with him.
As his jealousy flared he could have sworn he felt his teeth lengthen. He climbed unsteadily to his feet with Kagome and he quickly grabbed her hand to show Hojo that he wasn't there for decoration. He let Kagome lead him over to the smooth surface of the skating rink and found that it was a little easier to skate on, but still found himself on his ass more than once.
Whenever he fell, Kagome would skate over, help him up and give him a quick kiss on the cheek. The first time she did it caught him off guard. She was being openly flirtatious with him, something she had never done before. He also realized that she would bristle whenever any other female checked him out. Her hand would tighten around his or she would do something to show that he was there with her.
They skated around hand in hand for over an hour when they decided to finally get something to drink. Kagome stepped of the floor gracefully, but Inuyasha did a half spin and landed on his face. He could hear girls laughing at him and he turned red with embarrassment. Kagome sighed with pity, starting to feel sorry for him, since she had just thrust him into this. She sat him down at a table and skated over to the concession stand.
The teenage boy running it was busy flirting with some girl so Kagome and her friends leaned against the counter to wait for him to notice them. Kagome folded her arms over the glass counter and crossed her right leg over her left, absently rolling the wheel on her toe over the carpet. Inuyasha grew impatient and looked over at her. Her jeans, which were tight to begin with now, hugged every curve that she had below her waistline. He had a new appreciation for Miroku's obsession with bottoms as he stared at Kagome's ass.
"Hey Kagome, your boyfriend looks like he's about ready to come over and take a big bite out of you." Eri said, making the other three girls turn and look at Inuyasha. Kagome had never seen that look on Inuyasha's face before. He looked carnal, animalistic; almost like his demon side was going to burst out any minute. He looked hot. Her heart picked up speed and she felt a strange pull in her belly.
Inuyasha was caught off guard when Kagome's eyes slammed into his. Her left eyebrow was raised in curiosity at first, but her face slowly began to change. He could tell the effect that he was having on her, he was sure her expression mirrored his own. He almost cried out when he felt something pierce his palm painfully.
He looked down at his open hand and saw droplets of blood forming there. The spell was starting to wear off; his half demon side was starting to return. "I swear I'm going to kill that old crone when I get back."
He darted away from the table, skating as fast as his inexperience would let him go. He quickly pulled the rollerblades off and pulled on his shoes before making a mad dash out of the rink. Kagome and her friends stared after him in shock, wondering what the hell had just happened.
"Um, guys, I'll catch up with you later." Kagome said.
She skated over and changed back into her own shoes before following him out into the night. She thanked the heavens that the Shrine wasn't too far away from the roller rink, so Inuyasha would have been able to find it easily.
She found him curled into a tight ball beside the well. His black hair was now full of thick streaks of silver. She could see that his fingernails had lengthened back into claws and she would bet that his teeth were normal again.
"Inuyasha, what's wrong?" She asked.
His body curled tighter when the sound of her voice hit his ears and made his body tingle. He didn't understand what was happening to him. Changing from half demon to human and back again was something that he had learned to live with, but his senses had never been so acute when changing. He silently cursed Kaede as Kagome's scent flooded his nostrils. He could feel all the blood in his body rush to his groin.
Kagome misunderstood Inuyasha's whimper and ran to his side. She touched his shoulder and felt every muscle in it stiffen under her hand. "Inuyasha, look at me."
"No," He said, his voice shaking as much as his body. "It's nothing; Kaede's potion is just starting to wear off sooner than it should."
"But, how can that be? Kaede's potions never do that." Kagome said.
"Look, I don't know what's wrong!" He shouted his hand curling into a fist beside his head.
Kagome reached out and timidly brushed his hair away from his face. Inuyasha curled into Kagome's touch, craving more. His eyes turned to her face and she was more than a little shocked to see that not only had his eyes turned gold, there were also flakes of red in them.
He inhaled deeply and slowly sat up. While every female part of her burst into flames, something told her that she should get up and leave Inuyasha alone. She watched him inhale deeply again and she realized that he was smelling her. He could smell what his expression alone was doing to her teenage body. He crawled towards her slowly and Kagome found she was unable and unwilling to move away from him.
Inuyasha smiled as what was left of his black hair turned silver. He crawled up Kagome's body and stopped inches from her face. His hands were on the ground beside her hips and his knees were between his thighs. Kagome had unconsciously spread them as he crawled up her body. He leaned in and sniffed her neck, making a shiver run through her body. Before he could lean in and kiss her, she put a hand to his lips and shook her head. She smiled at his disappointed look.
"Not here, Inuyasha." She stood slowly, making him move away from her. "Give me two minutes, if you can find me, you can have me."
Inuyasha grinned at her. They both knew that since he was almost back to his normal self, he would have absolutely no problem finding her in the house. Inuyasha sat down as Kagome left and took a deep breath to try to calm himself.
He had absolutely no idea what he was doing. Sure he talked to Miroku about the possibility of taking Kagome as a mate, but that's all that it had ever been, a possibility. He pretended to know what Miroku was talking about when he discussed pleasing a woman, but he really had no idea.
As he stood he briefly wondered if she would reject him. Stupid, she's just as new to this as you are. He reminded himself. With that in mind he followed her scent into the house. He found her in her room, leaning with one hip on her desk.
"That wasn't very original." He told her with a grin.
Kagome shrugged non-chalantly. "Well the potion is almost fully worn off now, so I knew you'd find me anyway."
Inuyasha smile and crossed the room to her. He pulled her into his arms and the two of them sighed in unison. Is this what love feels like? He wondered as she snuggled into his chest. In all the years that he had desired Kikyo, he had never felt this complete.
"I figured out why your potion wore off so quickly." Kagome said, her breathe tickling the skin of his neck.
"Oh yeah, why?" He asked, sniffing her hair.
"Because of this."
Her hand snaked between them and pressed lightly against Inuyasha's groin. Inuyasha gasped and rolled his hips, pressing himself harder into her hand. His hands dove into her hair and he pulled her lips against his in a hungry kiss. He groaned when Kagome's hand left and her firm stomach pressed tightly against his arousal.
After several minutes Kagome pulled from him and he pressed his forehead against hers. The sound of their heavy breathing sounded like a tornado in the small room. Kagome grew uncomfortable; feeling like the whole world could hear them. The sound of his whining as she pulled away reminded her briefly of Shippou. She turned on her radio and let the music the room. The announcer's voice came on as Kagome stepped closer to Inuyasha. She smiled when she noticed that his ears had finally returned to their rightful spot on top of his head.
She pushed her legs against his, making him step back. "Inuyasha, promise me one thing." She said as she grabbed one of his velveteen soft ears between her fingers.
"Anything." He said his voice thick with arousal.
He meant anything. At this point he would rip off his own arm and give it to Sesshomaru if it she asked him to. He would go to Kikyo and tell her that he wouldn't go to Hell with her; he would even bring the dead priestesses head back to her, if it meant that this endless torture would cease and she would become his.
"Never, ever, become a human willingly again." She said as they tumbled onto her bed. She reached up and massaged his ears, making him groan and press his hips up against her. He pressed his lips against hers as a new song started to play on the radio.
Sorry, you're going to have to read the rest of this scene at media miner.
He collapsed on top of her with a sigh and stayed in her body, shaking to much to trust his own strength. Kagome sighed happily and ran her hands through his hair, kissing the top of his head repeatedly. She massaged his ears as he slowly pulled himself from her body and resumed his position on her.
He lay his head on her chest and listened to her heart beat slowly return to it's normal pace. The smell of happiness and satisfaction from Kagome's body was intoxicating. He smelled the blood on her shoulder and slowly moved his head up, licking it away from her skin.
"Sorry about that." He said, kissing the quickly bruising skin. "I guess I got a little carried away."
Kagome shrugged and rested her hands in the silky strands of his hair. "It doesn't even hurt."
The stayed as they were, content in each others arms. Neither one of them wanted to move, afraid to break the moment of peace that they were in. They didn't want to deal with the consequences of their actions, they didn't want to deal with the challenges they faced together. Not only did they have to deal with the dangers that were in the past, but also the criticisms that were in both of their eras.
And of course there was still the looming question of what Inuyasha would do when the Shikon Jewel was complete. Kagome could only pray that she had given him enough of a reason to change his mind.
