The Purification Ritual Pt 3

Kagome was floating on the sea of pleasure. Her body was relaxed and a bit heavy from all the activities of the full moon night. She'd been preparing for this and had been pleasing herself while imagining Inuyasha for quite a while, but the real hanyou had proved to be... exhausting and overwhelming. At least when he had no control over his lust, she supposed he'd be a bit different any other night.

For example he'd kiss her more. He'd prolong their caresses before the act and allow her to explore his body. She had glimpses of how affectionate he could get every time he got some semblance of control. He'd kiss her and let her play with his ears. He spoke with rough, simple words, but treated her as an equal, as a real person and not a walking talking purifying tool.

She wasn't certain how many times she'd used her reiki to purify away his potent youki tonight. She lost count after that time when he took her against the wall next to the water barrel. She started allowing the youki to surge through her and restore her energy at least a little before she made it disappear, just so she could keep up with her lover. Each time he gave her his essence, she took it in with no reservations. They could figure out their future later, when they both were in the right state of mind.

It was a good thing he wanted her as much as she wanted him, after tonight she couldn't settle for any other man and no amount of self inflicted pleasure would be enough to satisfy her. She was a hot-blooded woman and no human man would want her as a wife. Only prostitutes were allowed to express more than the obedient acceptance of a man's lust. And she didn't want to belong to all men and none. She wanted to belong to one particular hanyou, a man who accepted her as she was and matched her temperament with his own fiery spirit. He never failed to bring her to release and that one time he came before her, he buried his head between her thighs and used his mouth on her - no man would 'lower' himself as to do something like that, but for him it was the most natural thing.

The happenings of the night were blurred in her mind, she wasn't even sure what time it was. He was giving her some short naps here and there, they also drank and ate some dried rabbit meat to restore their stamina. With her shredded kimono dipped in the water they washed each other up at least twice. Still, these were short minutes that ended as soon as his youkai took control over him again.

The result was that Inuyasha took her against every wall or on top of every flat surface at least twice. The top layer of furs on his bed was destined to forever smell like sex, even to her weak nose. According to Inuyasha, the smell of her and their joining was his favorite. He also enjoyed the taste, the feel of her and the way she moaned his name.

Still half asleep, she thought how much she enjoyed his growls and rough barks. How much she liked the intensity of his gaze and the wild determination to sate their mutual desire. When his irises were golden she saw glimpses of a honorable, gruff man that lived beside the society and didn't need anyone's approval. When they were blue, he was her lustful inu, that never did anything half-way. She felt hot dampness rising in her core when the memory of their most recent rut came to her mind - her once more on her hands and knees, with Inuyasha kneeling behind her and grunting as he rode her until she came around his rampant cock.

The haze of slumber started to clear in her mind when she felt her body being shifted on the furs. She sighed when she felt clawed fingers caressing the inside of her knee, then up between her thighs, avoiding her womanhood to reach her hip bone. She shifted closer to the firm body behind her and smiled at the warmth of his skin, the feel of his youki tingling against her. An arm was wrapped around her waist and it curled up, firm fingers brushing the underside of her breast before they grabbed onto it with just enough force to make her moan, but not feel pain.

Not ever once had his claws or fangs pierced her skin since the sunset. Not even once had he harmed her, even if he had been rough at times.

Meanwhile the hand on her hip drew her closer to him and she felt a demanding length pressed against her backside. She hummed pleasantly, pretending to be asleep. When he lowered his head to nip at her shoulder, she lazily lifted her leg and brushed her foot down his calf.

The reaction was lightning fast and every bit as exciting.

Inuyasha's teeth clamped on her shoulder, but not hard enough to be really painful, while his hips pulsed against her, his member rubbing against her. His teeth didn't hold her down for long, he let go of her shoulder to gasp. He had done it earlier, especially when he took her from behind. Kagome suspected that it was a canine instinct prompting him to do so, just in case she wouldn't want him. But since every time she did nothing to push him away, he never bit her. She moaned at the feel of that hot, hard flesh rubbing against her already wet folds and almost giggled at the annoyed sound he made when he didn't immediately get inside. She reached a helpful hand to guide him in and groaned when this time he did slide inside her. She kept her hand there, her fingertips brushing against the veins that she probably had tattooed on her walls.

"Kagome..." he moaned in her ear and started to slowly work his entire length in. His hands held her in place, applying pressure to her sensitive spots. She reached back and pulled his head to the crook of her neck, her fingers finding his trembling ear. Kagome rubbed it. marveling at the soft fur there and the deliciously slow rocking of his body against hers. After all the wild intensity of the night, this time her lover was less frantic. He even spoke her name instead of calling her a bitch or mate. She'd rubbed his ears before, many times, and usually it'd prompt him to snarl and take her almost violently. This time he moaned and shivered, his hips pushing his whole length inside of her. His tongue darted out from between his parted lips and caressed her shoulder, his fingers caressing her breast, tips of his claws scraping against her.

"Mmmm Inuyasha..." she moaned and arched into his touch. She was wide awake now, aroused and pleased. She knew her lover would make her scream soon, he always did. Only once during the whole night she haven't called his name as she came around his member, and it was only because she had bit on his shoulder. "Nice... Good..."

Her eyes were closed as she soaked in the pleasure of his touch, the fluid, slowly building up pace of his strokes. He licked her neck before placing open mouthed kisses to her collarbone. She smiled, enjoying this as much as she enjoyed each and every one of their unions. Then he stopped moving, impaled deep in her and she whimpered at him to continue.

"Do you... regret?" he asked, a hint of hesitation in his voice. She shook her head.

"No. What kind of a question is that? Do you regret, Inuyasha?" she asked, a bit irked. After all that they had been through, how could he think she regretted anything? She wanted him to move, now!

"No," he breathed against her ear and licked it gently. She shivered under this soft caress. "I want to do it not only during the full moon."

She rubbed his ear again and slid her hand through his tousled hair and tugged at it. A wide smile spread across her lips as she heard him say that. She was surprised that he picked this of all times to talk, but she hoped she could get him to continue soon. She flexed her muscles around him, causing him to gasp.

"My hut is on the outskirts of the village and has a window facing the forest. I don't lock it. And I often go to the forest to collect herbs, I don't mind being spirited away by you if you help me get my herb basket filled later," she murmured and it was when she realized his youki wasn't coming out of him in raging waves. It was agitated, but not like it had been before.

With a gasp she looked back at Inuyasha and saw him smirking back at her. His eyes were full of wicked mischief and the clear golden hue she loved so dearly. No purple stripes adorned his cheeks and his fangs weren't hanging out over his bottom lip.

"Deal," he said and kissed her, his lips coaxing hers to part. A hot tongue slid inside her mouth to stroke her own and she felt her head spin.

"You lustful dog!" she groaned when they parted. He had transformed during their mating and now she was going to see the difference between his attitudes. She had a strong feeling that in his hanyou form Inuyasha was going to make this experience a very memorable one.

"You horny wench," he replied and started to move inside her with the deliciously slowly increasing pace. His hands didn't just grip and hold her, they were caressing her body, bringing her new pleasure. Kagome gasped and moaned, enjoying every second of it.

Outside the sun was slowly rising, but only a few stray rays found their way inside of Inuyasha's cave to illuminate a pair of lovers engaged in an act of passion and desire. The full moon night passed but the thing that started tonight, were far from being over.

.

It was midday when the miko stepped out of the forest. Relieved and anxious villagers ran to greet her, bowing to the girl. She looked tired, as if she had spent the entire night fighting a terrible battle.

Yet there was no stain on her pristine robe, no injury on her body. She was walking slowly, tiredly, but there was no pain in her movement. Maybe a bit stiff was her step, careful as if she was trying to avoid putting too much weight on a strained ankle. Those who had been hurt by the vicious full youkai form of the hanyou, were reminded of their injures, torn flesh and broken bones. To see the miko unharmed after fighting Inuyasha was like seeing a miracle. And the greater miracle was the knowledge, that she had managed to keep him from going rampant again.

Her eyes shone with pride and accomplishment, which wasn't surprising. The full moon night was over and the village was safe. And, judging by the deer carcass left in the middle of the village, the youkai's attitude towards them was no longer so hostile, as it had been earlier.

Miko Kagome proved herself to be an effective priestess. A powerful one, worthy of awe and praise.

"My lady..." one of the villagers bowed in front of her. The girl beamed at him this soothing, serene smile all miko were known for. "Did you succeed?"

"Yes, Hatori," she responded, her voice a bit hoarse, probably from reciting incantations all night long. "It took a lot of reiki, but Inuyasha remained under my control and he is in a good mood. From now on I will be the miko holding him down during the full moon."

Everyone knew that she was using a new way to deal with the full moon situation. She had all her arrows in the quiver slung over her shoulder and everyone was aware that Lady Kaede deemed her illusions too weak to last for long. Lady Kagome had left the village to learn a new way to keep the village safe for the one night the protector of the forest wasn't sane.

"It's such a relief, Lady Kagome. May gods bless you!" the man bowed once more and almost ran back to the rest, staying a bit away. The girl watched them whisper among themselves and smile.

Then all of them bowed to her and went to spread the news about her return.

Kagome watched them go, keeping her kind smile on. Yes, she was truly blessed, even if no one really know how exactly. They wouldn't understand anyway.

She resumed walking towards her hut when two other miko approached her. Kagome sensed their reiki flaring to brush against her and she instinctively let her own power rise to touch them in return. Kikyou looked perfect as always, peering at her down her nose.

"You look as if something dragged you through bushes," she said, despite the fact that Kagome looked as spotless as herself. "At least you managed to keep the village safe with your weird way."

"I look just fine, Kikyou," Kagome replied softly and bowed her head in greeting to Kaede. "I'm back."

"I am glad you are unharmed," the older woman smiled kindly. "You did well. Go and rest."

"I just need a short nap," she assured. "I spent a while meditating before I came back, just to cleanse my mind."

"This is alright," the head priestess waved her hand. "There is no need to hurry to your duties, there are no injuries to be tended to today, thanks to you."

Kagome went to her home and went to sleep after rinsing her mouth from the taste of fried liver Inuyasha had made her eat to help her restore her energy.

The village bustled with excitement, the deer being prepared for a feast this evening to celebrate Kagome's victory. The young woman just pulled the blanket over herself, her thoughts going to the silver haired man that no doubt sat somewhere on a tree branch from where he could see her open window. A smile graced her lips as she drifted to sleep.
