Chapter 3: Sensitive Issues
"It's hard to believe that two weeks ago we were trying to knock the shit out of each other," Kouga smirked, snatching the last piece of the bird he had caught from the fire.
"Hey, if you don't give that to me I will knock the shit out of you," grossed Inuyasha making a grab for the meat in Kouga's hand.
"I caught it, dog breath, the last piece goes to me," the wolf mocked, popping it into his mouth and swallowing it giving the hanyou a large toothy grin.
Inuyasha growled in irritation at losing and at the insult. He pounced across the short distance between them grabbing the wolf around the waist and throwing him to the ground. The two of them wrestled around the fire, Inuyasha determined to best the wolf but in one swift movement Kouga pinned the half demon under him. The hanyou growled and struggled until Kouga leaned down and gave his cheek a lick.
Inuyasha relaxed and sighed, "Damn it, I'm still hungry," he griped putting his arms around the wolf above him.
"Poor puppy," Kouga drawled, bringing his lips down onto the hanyou's.
"I'm not a puppy," Inuyasha mumbled into the kiss. He snaked his tongue out towards the wolf's tasting not just Kouga but the light taste of the bird as well.
Kouga responded by pushing back with his own tongue trying to force his way past the others. The two took the battle they had just had on the ground to inside their mouths, neither wanting to be bested. Soon their playful kiss turned into one full of passion.
Finally, in need of oxygen, both pulled apart and took in a large gasp of air, their faces flushed and warm.
Inuyasha rolled Kouga off of him so they were laying side by side staring into each other's eyes. "Kami, you taste good," Inuyasha moaned to the wolf.
"I thought I just smelled good," Kouga panted back.
"That too," Inuyasha grinned as he brought his lips to the wolf's throat and began to nibble gently at the skin over the pulsing vein that was thrumming away.
Kouga couldn't control the shiver or the throaty gasp in response to the electric tingle that went through him and he twisted his fingers into the soft white hair pulling Inuyasha's head in tighter to his neck.
Inuyasha reached up and undid the shoulder ties and bindings holding the ookami's breastplate in place. Kouga stiffened slightly. In the last two weeks all they had really done was a lot of kissing and some very light petting over clothing, both of them unsure of when to take that next step or even if they wanted to.
"What are you doing, Inuyasha?" Kouga questioned, gasping again as he felt his armour pulled off and claws rasping gently over his chest.
"What do you think stupid," Inuyasha replied still kissing the soft skin of Kouga's neck. "I want to touch you."
Kouga yelped, his body jerking as Inuyasha passed the tip of his claw over his right nipple, instantly making it jump to attention.
The hanyou looked curiously into the ookami's face, watching in fascination as Kouga's eyes rolled back into his head when he passed his fingers over the swollen nub again. His ears pricked fully forward at the needy moan escaping the wolf's throat.
"Are you always this sensitive?" Inuyasha asked curiously, rolling the pert nipple gently between his fingers.
"Ha, ungh, ha," panted Kouga, unable to answer because the sensations of pleasure were making it hard for him to do anything else.
Inuyasha stopped his ministrations with a chuckle. "Can you answer me now?" he teased.
Kouga blushed as he opened his eyes to see a smirking hanyou staring right at him. "You dog turd," he complained. "It's because of this time of the year, doesn't this happen to you?"
"No, I'm only half inu, remember."
"You're damn lucky then, it's a real pain in the ass," Kouga grumped, wishing Inuyasha would touch him again.
Inuyasha looked at him in surprise. "No ones ever told me I'm lucky to be a hanyou."
"Well it's gotta be better than trying to control a perpetual state of horniness," Kouga blurted out, immediately regretting his outburst as he saw a wicked smirk appear on the dog demons face.
"Really, so just how sensitive are you?" he asked, pushing Kouga onto his back as he rubbed his palm over the wolf's chest, stroking slowly down over his stomach.
Kouga arched his back into the air when he felt the prick of claws across his stomach twirling around his navel. He felt as if his skin was on fire everywhere Inuyasha was touching him. He moaned loudly digging gouges deeply into the ground on either side of him with his own claws when Inuyasha leaned over and drew his tongue over his still throbbing right nipple. The wolf had the hazy thought that he should not let the hanyou dominate him but as he felt Inuyasha trail hot kisses over to his other nipple he decided it wasn't worth the argument. Besides that, he didn't want these hot flashes of pleasure to stop. He reached his own hands to the red coat and pulled it and the shirt under it apart so he could touch his puppy as well.
Inuyasha gave a grunt of surprise and pleasure as he felt Kouga's sharp claws gently caressing down his back and sides. He continued to lick and suck on the wolf's left nipple, rolling and pinching the right one in his fingers. His ears flicked to and fro listening to Kouga's cries and whimpers of ecstasy, feeling his manhood enlarge at the sounds and responses the wolf was unable to control.
He kissed his way back up to Kouga's sweet mouth, pushing his tongue into the now unresisting orifice, swirling it over sharp fangs and soft tongue, encouraging Kouga to stoke his tongue sensuously against the hanyou's.
Inuyasha dipped his hand lower, trying to wiggle it under the fur pelt Kouga wore at his hips. He suddenly felt the wolf stiffen and scoot away which broke their kiss.
"St...stop," panted Kouga trying draw air into his aching lungs and stop his heart from pounding so loudly.
"What's wrong, I thought you were enjoying yourself?" Inuyasha questioned his brow furrowing in confusion.
"Don't you think we're moving a bit fast here?" Kouga questioned a bit nervously. It wasn't that he didn't want to have Inuyasha touch him there but he hadn't even kissed anyone before two weeks ago and he had no idea of how much experience the mutt had. He did not want to get into a situation he couldn't control.
"What, are you scared?" Inuyasha taunted him.
"No, I'm not scared," Kouga replied scathingly, trying to hide his nervousness and the deep blush that had attacked his cheeks.
Inuyasha, looking at the blue eyes that were now standing out more prominently because of the red face, could see that the wolf was lying. He took some pity on him and hugged him to his chest, kissing the top of the dark head. "I'm getting tired anyways," he said as he lay on his back, pulling Kouga close to his side. The wolf rested his head on Inuyasha's chest, listening to the quick heart beat under his ear and gently petted the bare skin of the inu's chest.
Who'd have thought Kouga was so shy? I knew he was a wimpy wolf, Inuyasha chuckled to himself.
"What's so funny?" Kouga asked feeling self conscious all of a sudden.
"You, I figured you being a wild wolf demon and all would have fucked everything going by now." Inuyasha could feel the cheek against his chest get warmer.
Kouga stopped caressing the muscles of Inuyasha's chest and sat up angrily. "So what if I haven't, I suppose you, being the big dog, have?"
Now it was the hanyou's turn to blush as he scowled back at the ookami. "Maybe not all the way, but I've done everything else," he barked out. "You didn't even have your first kiss until two weeks ago, so ha," he taunted the wolf demon.
Kouga growled low in his throat and clenched his fists, "You're an ass, Inuyasha," he ground out, standing and stalking off.
Inuyasha laid there for a moment then got up and went after the wolf. He found him sitting in a tree not far from their camp. "Come on Kouga, don't be that way," he called up to the ookami.
Kouga glanced at him with that - you've drowned my puppy - look which was more effective in making Inuyasha feel sorry that any sit that Kagome had ever given him. He leapt up into the tree and sat by the upset wolf. "What are we even fighting about it for, it doesn't matter. You're not regretting what we're doing, are you?" Inuyasha began to feel a pang of worry, he really liked the wolf and had enjoyed all their time together, not just the make out sessions.
"No," Kouga sighed. "I just don't like being teased about something like that, you stupid mutt," he replied giving the hanyou a half hearted punch in the side of the head. Fact was Kouga didn't like it that his rival knew more about this than he did.
"Sorry Kouga," Inuyasha apologized, leaning over and licking the side of his face.
"Humph, you should be. Have you really done everything but?" Kouga asked after a few moments of silence.
"Yeah."
"With Kagome?" the wolf asked again, a small pang running through him at the mention of her name and the thought of Inuyasha doing things with the girl, things he himself had wanted to do at one time not so long ago.
"No, it was with Kikyo. We couldn't...you know, because that would have taken away her miko powers but we did get pretty inventive. I've kissed Kagome a couple of times but...I don't know...it feels weird, like she's too pure or innocent to do stuff with, you know?"
"Yeah, kinda," Kouga responded thinking of the young miko. "Is she back from her home yet?" he asked the hanyou.
"No, I guess her grandfather is still sick. She was here last week and said that he was getting better but the doctors don't want him to be up doing anything for awhile. She probably won't be back until early summer."
Both boys sat quietly in the tree for awhile thinking of the future. Both would have been surprised at how much it bothered the other to think that their secret time would be coming to a close by then.
"Well I better get back," Inuyasha said a bit sadly. He was beginning to hate to have to leave the wolf for the whole day.
"Yeah, I'm going to go get some sleep," yawned Kouga, sitting up and stretching. They both hopped out of the tree and gave each other a gentle kiss before Inuyasha began walking back towards the village. Kouga stoked the fire a bit more before settling down and wrapping his tail over his legs, trying not to think of the day that was soon approaching when he would have to leave to find Ayame.
