The following evening

Kagome was sitting in the hut alone waiting for Inuyasha to return with the evening's catch. Sango had stopped by not too long ago to check on her and Kagome told her the celebrations were not over just yet. They intended on having their marking ritual tonight. Kagome was happy she got to enjoy her husband in both his forms. She loved him no matter what he transformed into. The two were actually nervous this time, since they weren't drunk and far more coherent than they were last night. Kagome laughed to herself thinking about how they woke up with terrible hangovers and she had to manage to take care of both of them.

Kagome stirred as Inuyasha began to wake up and accidently pushed her off the futon. He heard a thump followed by a very delayed "Ouch" that completely woke him up. He lifted Kagome up off the floor as she fell back on the futon.

"I'm sorry. Are you alright?"

"Inuyasha" she groaned "My head hurts."

"So does mine. Remind me not to drink that much ever again."

Shippo had entered their hut gleefully "Good morn—"

"Get the fuck out, Shippo." Inuyasha growled in a low angry voice. His headache was pounding and there was nothing that could make it worse than the sound of a pain in the ass.

"Waah! Why are you always so mean!" Shippo cried out.

"Sorry, Shippo" Kagome sat up slowly. "We have terrible headaches. I think it'd be best if you came back later."

He nodded and was quickly on his way.

Kagome noticed a jar by their door that wasn't there last night. It was filled with herbs.

"These are perfect for our headaches. Kaede must have brought this in this morning. I'll brew some up for us."

It was as though she had known they'd be hung over. Inuyasha was lying in bed groaning and whining like a child while she managed to brew up the herbs and begin making them something to eat.

'I'll never forget this.' She thought happily.

Inuyasha had returned quicker than she anticipated carrying a cleaned boar.

"Whoa, where'd you catch that?"

"I didn't. Koga heard about our marriage and had some of his friends bring it as a gift.

"Koga?"

Kagome examined the huge boar. "We shouldn't eat all of this tonight. Let's cut it up."

"I'm on it." Inuyasha pulled out his Tetsusaiga. Kagome had a flashback of what Inuyasha had done to her kitchen back home.

"Wait! That's a bit over the top. Can't you just do it with your claws or something?"

"Whatever you want. Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" Inuyasha sliced through the boar perfectly for Kagome to prepare.

As she was cooking the food over the fire, Inuyasha kept looking at her strangely. His looks were starting to creep her out a bit.

"You're looking at me like you're going to eat me."

Inuyasha gave her a serious look. "I am."

Kagome let out a scream. "What's wrong with you! Why do you want to eat me all of a sudden?" Kagome kept shouting as Inuyasha blocked out her words.

"Will you shut up? That's not what I meant."

Kagome scrunched up her face in anger as she served the portions of food evenly. As the two ate in somewhat content silence Kagome was a bit bothered by her husband's words.

"So what did you mean earlier?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he had finished eating. "Are you finished?" He asked pointing to her plate of food.

"Y-yeah."

"Well then I'll explain what I meant." He took her hand and gently laid her on the futon.

She looked a little worried. She probably even forgot that it was their promised night.

Inuyasha could smell her slight fear. "What? You scared now?"

"You said you were gonna eat me!"

"I told you already. I am. Now just be quiet and lay down."

Kagome laid still on the futon as Inuyasha removed her clothing. She figured he was playing some type of joke on her and he'd never actually eat her. She was wrong. He did eat her. But not the way she thought he was going to.

Inuyasha gently glided his tongue in and out of Kagome as she gasped and moaned. He thought this was much better than last night. Having all his senses heightened and his instincts back made him feel more confident, and enjoy himself a lot more. The smell of Kagome's scent was sweeter than usual. He knew she was in heat and it made the night even more perfect. He could feel his demon blood heating up the more she leaked out on his tongue as he continued to take her to ecstasy.

Kagome finally understood what he meant and she felt a little stupid for doubting him. She spread her legs more and grabbed the futon as Inuyasha lapped up more of her juices before lifting his head to look at her. He slowly wiped the remnants off his face and licked them off his fingers. Kagome watched as the half demon before her ingested her body fluids as if he thoroughly enjoyed them.

'He knows what he's doing. He has some serious instincts.' Kagome felt nervous because she wasn't sure if she could keep up with him, but she'd learn. She always had her imagination.

Inuyasha removed his clothes and threw them onto the floor. He laid on top of Kagome and gently kissed her. She was curious as to what she tasted like and began licking his bottom lip. He licked hers in turn until their tongues met and swirled around one another in a fight for dominance. Kagome was fascinated by the sweet and slightly tart taste from inside her body and figured it probably tasted a lot different to Inuyasha and that was why he enjoyed it so much.

Inuyasha loved the way her tongue tasted; how sweet it was, like a rare forbidden fruit and she was the Garden Of Eden, her soul was the tree of knowledge and he loved her all the way down to her bones. He couldn't think of anything more perfect than that moment. He gently pulled away from the kiss to look in Kagome's eyes. She looked nervous, yet happy, judging by the smile she gave him.

Kagome reached up and gently cupped his cheek. "Inuyasha."

All she had to do was say his name. The look they exchanged told him everything he needed to know.

He kissed her again and she kissed back, this time with more passion. They were both trying to express themselves without words.

Kagome's heat scent began to resurface and Inuyasha's demon blood was beginning to rush through his body. His demon wanted to come out and take his woman.

"Kagome. I've never done this. I might lose control and my demon will take over. Don't worry, okay?"

Kagome nodded in understanding. She knew even in his full demon form, he would still be the same. Inuyasha traced his tongue on a spot on Kagome's neck. "This is where I'm gonna mark you."

Kagome moaned and squirmed from the attention on such a sensitive spot on her neck. Inuyasha planted kisses along the side of her neck, his soft lips sending chills down her spine, causing her scent to spike even more.

'Almost…' He thought.

Sango had explained to Kagome from her knowledge of demons that when a demon claims their mate, they look for particular spots on her body and give them special attention until her scent makes their body react a certain way and their demonic nature completely takes over. The demon then enters the woman and claims her.

Kagome was already anticipating making love to Inuyasha's full demon because of her prior knowledge.

Inuyasha had caressed Kagome's entire body as she gasped in pleasure. He sucked each one of her nipples until her scent reached that peak and awakened his full demon. His face had transformed. His fangs and claws grew, his eyes turned red and jagged purple marks appeared on the sides of his face.

Kagome sensed his full demon and knew to suppress her purification powers and let the demon blood take its course. Inuyasha's heart was still awake but his brain was practically shut off except for his instincts.

"Kagome" The demon whispered through a growl.

"Yes, Inuyasha?" He looked at her face as his body reacted to her voice. The demon had become stronger the more he desired her. He went back towards Kagome's neck and licked the spot again as she moaned and began leaking from the arousal between her legs. Inuyasha's demon could smell the substance leaking out and was ready to claim her. He positioned himself between her legs and roughly entered her as her tight core squeezed him.

Kagome had noticed that Inuyasha's size had even changed depending on his form. It had become a lot thicker and hurt a bit. She whimpered slightly from the pain as

Inuyasha nuzzled her face and whimpered along with her. He licked her face and continued to nuzzle her until he knew she wasn't in pain anymore.

Once Kagome got used to his size, he went back to his strokes. Her pained whimpers turned into moans. His demon quickly changed from gentle to rough as he stroked inside her, hitting a spot she wasn't even aware existed.

"Oh, Inuyasha!" She cried out.

His strokes were rough and powerful but it felt good. Inuyasha's demon stayed in tune with her scent and body language, alternating the speed to make sure she reached her climax.

He slowed down a bit, pulling halfway out before pumping back in harshly. Kagome screamed in pleasure at how good he was making her feel.

"M-m-more, Inuyasha. I want more." She groaned.

His demon was practically taking over his body as Kagome gave in to his love. Kagome's eyes were shut tightly as she panted heavily with each stroke. Inuyasha's demon turned her head towards him and slowed his strokes down.

"Look at me." He demanded.

She slowly opened her eyes.

He noticed the hazy, lustful look in her eyes and he decided that no one could ever have her even if he died. He could smell her climax coming along as he picked her up and sat her in his lap. He lifted her up and down onto his hardness as she balanced herself on his broad shoulders. The feeling was so good for Kagome, she began scratching at his shoulders, making him growl out as he grazed her body slightly with his fangs and licked her.

Kagome was nearly at her peak as she let out loud moans and screamed his name.

Inuyasha's demon had completely taken over his mind, body and soul at that moment as his climax came closer. The only functional head was the one inside Kagome and she knew not to be afraid that his demonic aura grew, even though it was stronger than it had ever been. He roughly stroked Kagome as she screamed out from her climax and after a few more strokes Inuyasha's demon followed and marked the intended spot on her body.

She felt heat coursing through her body and soul, it was burning her inside but it felt amazing. It felt empowering.

His demon gently licked the blood dripping out of her crescent shaped mate mark and sealed it with his saliva. He did the same for her spot once he pulled out since she bled more than she did the previous night. The demon crawled close to Kagome who was breathing heavily and stared at her. The demon was slowly weakening and Inuyasha's heart was taking control again.

"You…you are mine." He gently growled out.

Kagome nodded. The demon nuzzled Kagome's neck and inhaled her sweet, relaxed scent. Inuyasha ought to be careful because his demon wanted to be with Kagome just as much as he did. Inuyasha began to fight within himself to return to normal and his heart was the victor. He looked at Kagome's half sleep face with his now normal face and smiled.

Kagome smiled back as she closed her eyes and nodded off to sleep. Inuyasha grabbed his haori off the floor and wrapped it around both of them as they fell asleep in each other's arms. He wasn't sure what tomorrow would bring but he knew there was always going to be a tomorrow as long as Kagome was there.
