Chapter 10
The next morning Kagome awoke with her head resting on Sesshomaru’s shoulder and her hand tangled in the still loose fabric of his haori. She felt a wave of anxiety as the position reminded her of exactly what she had done the night before. She didn’t regret it, she just didn’t know how she was going to act around him now. For once, the daiyoukai wasn’t awake before her and she allowed herself the chance to look him over.
Thankfully, though he had not bothered to fix his shirt, he had retied his hakama before pulling her against him and falling asleep. His face was slack, the smooth lines that covered his cheeks a stark contrast to the rest of his pale skin. He looked more relaxed than she had ever seen him. Probably because he’d been accosted and received Kagome’s first ever blowjob attempt. Had she really done all that? Had she actually been any good at it, or were men just easy to please?
She wanted badly to giggle, this whole thing was pretty out there. Sesshomaru, the affectionate flirt! Kagome, the artful seductress! There was something else too. Had… had they had their first fight yesterday? She still felt the lingering traces of embarrassment over her emotional outburst from the day before. She had cried! Cried, and then later she had… holy shit. Far too much had happened in far too short a time. Kagome was sure she was going crazy. Maybe she was still in the bottom of the well, she’d hit her head and fallen into a coma and none of this was real.
Kagome’s endeavor to pretend that the previous day’s events were fever dreams induced by severe head trauma was quickly thwarted when Sesshomaru stirred beneath her. He lazily blinked up at her before his brow crinkled.
“You are upset.”
Kagome sat up, “No… not exactly.”
Sesshomaru eyed her closely while propping himself up on his elbows, “You are embarrassed?”
She shrugged, “Overwhelmed?”
“Did I—”
“No! No. I mean, really, last night it was me who…” suddenly her hands were very interesting to look at.
“Yes, it was you,” there was that flirtatious tone again.
When Kagome looked up he was smirking at her. He looked so damned pleased with himself that she forgot she was supposed to be playing the part of awkward maiden.
“Well, if you’re going to be arrogant about it, don’t expect any repeat performances.”
He sat up and fixed his clothing, the smirk was still there but he made a valiant effort to lessen its intensity. “Now, that would be most unfortunate.”
Kagome couldn’t help the nervous laugh that slipped out. How did other women handle these situations? Did they all feel like giddy school girls the morning after, or would it get easier with time?
For his part, Sesshomaru seemed unaffected. He stood and walked to A-Un who was laying at the edge of the clearing they had camped in. He pulled a water skin from the beast’s saddle bag and took a drink before returning to Kagome and offering it to her.
“If you would like, we can stop by the spring again before heading to our next destination.”
Kagome had nearly emptied the skin, having only just realized how dry her mouth was. “Where are we off to next?”
“There is someone I would like to visit.”

As they traveled back toward the spring Sesshomaru tried his best to act as normal as possible. It was clear that Kagome was uncertain of how to handle the aftermath of her actions from the night before. He himself had been fairly shocked by just how bold she was. If she wasn’t behaving so skittishly now he would have been certain that she was quite experienced in these matters. He couldn’t stop himself from picturing her above him, her hips rotating into his, her head thrown back. The look she’d given him before she’d taken him into her mouth was absolutely devious. And yet, this morning she was unsure and self-conscious.
This would not do. He liked the confident Kagome, the one that knew what she wanted and just took it. He wanted her to feel at ease with him, and to know that he would not reject her. He also really wanted to know just how it was she knew to do the things she’d done to him last night. He looked over to her where she walked beside him. She was quiet and focusing her attention on their surroundings. He reached over and took her hand in his own, she was startled by the action but allowed him to lace their fingers together.
“What are the courting rituals like in your time?”
Kagome looked over at him, her head tilted and her brows furrowed, “Rituals?”
“Is there not a prescribed manner of securing a mate?”
Kagome looked down at their hands, “Not really, no. I mean I guess relationships tend to follow a pattern, but different people meet their spouses, or mates, different ways. You could meet at school or work, or someone could set you up, or you could use a… service specifically designed to find you a match. Then you usually go on dates, outings together, for a while. After an indefinite amount of time the man may propose marriage to the woman, they may spend a year planning a wedding, or marry right away. Sometimes they don’t bother getting married and just move in together.”
Sesshomaru thought this over a moment before responding, “That seems quite lax.”
“Oh, it is!” She nodded, “And even then, that is just a generalization. Some people don’t ever marry, and just go from partner to partner. Some have more than one partner at once. Here, now, marriage is more of a duty, a business transaction. Back home it’s usually about love. Dating is more often than not purely about attraction and lasts as long as the attraction does. It seems to be very different than the way things are done here. At least different than the accepted way of doing things here.”
“And which of these options is acceptable to you?” He was watching her through the corner of his eye as they continued to walk.
“Oh. Hmm,” Kagome bit her lip as she thought about her answer, “I haven’t thought about it much, to be honest. When I was younger I assumed I’d meet someone, fall in love, get married. Then I fell into this world and all of that seemed unimportant.”
He squeezed her hand, “And now?”
“Now, everything is different. I’ve met someone,” here she looked up at him, “But I have no idea what I’m doing or how any of this works.”
He raised a brow at her, “You seemed to be pretty knowledgeable last night.”
Kagome let out a sound that seemed half cough half laugh and averted her eyes, “Yeah, well. Knowing about that sort of thing is common where I am from. That doesn’t mean I’ve ever actually participated before.”
Sesshomaru hummed and continued in the direction of the clearing they’d camped in the day they’d found the spring. So, she was inexperienced but fully aware of just what a male and female did together. He decided her lack of ignorance would be to his benefit.
“Youkai mating rituals are more structured. The expectations of nobility require additional formality. Often, mating is political or business related. However, this one is powerful enough that the choice is made freely.”
Kagome was looking ahead, “I see.”
“I have made my choice.”
“Yeah, you mentioned that yesterday.”
“Attraction and love are not foreign concepts in this place either.”
She smiled and increased her grip on his hand, “Oh.”
