You came home from a long day of classes to take a shower. You were trying to get ready quick because your long-term boyfriend Inuyasha was coming over to watch movies and have dinner. You and Inuyasha had been dating for almost two and a half years now and everything seemed good between you two. You loved him but you couldn’t help but feel something was missing.

You met Inuyasha after he had just broken up with his ex-girlfriend Kagome. According to your friend Sango, she had left him for his enemy Koga. It was love at first sight for you. He became your seat mate in your freshman class. You couldn’t stop staring at him in secret you fell in love with the way his silk white hair made his pale white skin stick out. He looked like a porcelain doll that was too fragile for you to even look at let alone touch. You talked to him about school and nothing more for the first couple weeks but you eventually became his friend.

Over the next couple months, you enjoyed every minute he would allow you to hang out with him. You felt comfortable talking to him about anything and it seemed to be the same for him. Your relationship as friends seemed to be stronger than ever but you were slowly losing hope it would ever be anything more until one night.

Sango had invited you to Inuyasha’s surprise birthday party. You knew it wasn’t something he wanted to celebrate but you hoped he wouldn’t be angry with his friends for going against his wishes. You were walking to his off-campus apartment to help Sango set up when you crossed paths with a group of drunk frat boys. You tried your best to avoid them but once they noticed you you became a target. They were circling you in a matter of seconds.

“What is a pretty thing like you running around here at night?” One of the boys asked while skimming his finger over your collarbone. The closeness made your skin crawl. You tried to stand your ground and break away from them but another boy grabbed ahold of you and held you tightly in his arms.

“Where you going sweetheart?” The smell of his breath was enough to make you dizzy. You were physically shaking by this point. You were on the brink of tears as the group of boys continued to mock and tease you. A few of them touched you causing you to try and kick them off.

“SOMEONE HELP ME!!” You screamed with all your might. Your mind couldn’t stop showing you images of what this situation could turn into if you didn’t get out of it soon. One boy started to approach you with a wicked grin on his face as he snaked his hands on your waist and pulled you out of the other boys’ arms close to him. You shut your eyes tightly as he started to move his face close to yours. You knew there was too many of them to fight so even if you got this one off you another would just take his place. While you were praying to god to send you a savior you heard someone scream and the person holding you was no longer there.

You opened your eyes in time to see all but one boy on the ground moaning in pain. Your eyes searched the area until you saw the last of the boys currently being hit by a man with black hair. You watched as he beat the man to a bloody pulp you were scared he intended to kill the guy. You ran up to him to try and stop him from doing anything to rash. You had just put your hand on his back when you could hear police sirens in the background. The man grabbed your wrist and pulled you behind him as you both fled from the mangled group of boys.

Your heart was pounding fast in your chest as he pulled you into the nearest dark alley and covered your body with his own. You stood stiff as he wrapped his arms around you in a tight hug. Your mind went blank. After a minute of not moving he quickly pulled away from you and held your head in his hands. You were dumbfounded to see the stranger was Inuyasha. His eyes roamed over you searching for any sign of you being injured.

“Those bastards didn’t hurt you, did they?” He asked after not being able to see any visible wounds on you. You shook your head no despite your shock. As if on its’ own you hand reached up and ran through a lock of Inuyasha’s now raven hair. He stared at you in confusion until something seemed to register in his mind and he quickly moved away from you. Shoving himself on the other wall.

“Why?” is all you managed to voice.

“Ok don’t freak out on me.” He said as he held both hands up in front of his chest in a defensive manner. “I guess I have no choice but to tell you now.” He took a deep breath in and moved back towards you placing his hands on your shoulders.

“Tell…me…what…” you stuttered out.

“Y/N, I have been hiding something from you since we first met. I knew it would come out eventually but I just didn’t know how to tell you. God, I didn’t want you to find out this way…” He rambled on making you annoyed.

“INUYASHA!” You screamed stopping his rambling and causing him to look at you like you had just smacked him with a rolled-up newspaper. “Whatever you need to tell me, I can handle.” You said. After you both stood in silence for a second until Inuyasha finally spoke again.

“I am a half-demon Y/N. A half dog demon to be exact.” He said giving you a smile. You stared at his face trying to analysis what he just told you and it finally explained some things. Why he always wore hats or beanies. Why he could run faster than anyone else. It was all starting to make sense. Growing up your family had had stories of demons and half demons but it was told they had all gone extinct sometime shortly after the feudal era.

“I know, I am a freak and I get you probably want nothing to do with me from now on…” Inuyasha was rambling again but you honestly heard none of it. Inuyasha was still Inuyasha to you no matter what he was. Before he could mutter another word, you leaned up on your tip toes and smashed your lips against his.

After a minute of him making no move to kiss you back it finally registered that maybe you had crossed the line. You quickly pulled away from him and was met with Inuyasha standing frozen with his eyes wide in front of you. “I am sorry, I shouldn’t have…I know you don’t like me like that and I shouldn’t have…oh boy. I am going to go back home. I guess I will see you in class.” You started to slide away from Inuyasha to make your way out of the alley so you could run back home as fast as you could. You needed a hot bath and a big tub of your favorite ice cream. You wiped a few tears from your eyes but before you could get too far away Inuyasha had pushed you against the alley wall again.

“You can’t leave.” He said before quickly attacking your lips with his. You stood stiff for a minute until finally giving into the kiss that was making it hard for you to stand. The kiss was already intense that you felt you could pass out from it but it only got worse once Inuyasha slipped his tongue in your mouth. The taste of him was overwhelming. He tasted so sweet like a bitter chocolate that was being melted on your taste buds. You moaned loudly as he crashed his body into yours pushing you further into the rock wall behind you. You were lost in the ecstasy of the moment.

The moment was quickly interrupted by Sango and her boyfriend Miroku when they finally found you both. It was awkward to say the least.

“I know you are a half demon but that doesn’t give you liberties to act as an animal even on the nights you are supposed to be a man.” Miroku said smacking Inuyasha in the back of the head hard.

“Ow, it isn’t like that. She kissed me first anyway.” Inuyasha said before leaning up against the opposite wall and putting his arms in front of his chest.

“Is this true, Y/N?” Sango asked you.

“Yea.” You said trying to hide your blush.

“Why?” Sango said as if she couldn’t believe she had heard you right. It kind of made you mad. Did she mean that nobody would be willing to kiss Inuyasha?

“Because, Sango, that is kind of what you do to someone you like.” You said letting your anger take over your senses.

“You like me?” Inuyasha said making you instantly regret opening your mouth.

You were brought out of your memories as a knock hit your door. You put the finishing touches on your light makeup and rushed to clean up the area. Inuyasha was early and you slightly wondered what would make him be. You laughed at the thought that maybe after all this time you two would finally be able to take the next step maybe what you two were missing would actually happen. The subject had come up time and time again and at first it wasn’t time for it but after that it was that interruptions kept happening. You took a deep breath as you put your hand on the door knob. Tonight, nothing could interrupt the two of you. You had made sure of it. Tonight, you would become Inuyasha’s mate and everything would be right in your world.

Your serene thoughts were broken as you opened the door to see none other than Inuyasha’s brother standing on the other side. You cocked your head in confusion “Sesshomaru?”
