Kagome panted as she stared at the ceiling from her place on the floor. She’d thought of InuYasha as a tough and demanding teacher, but he didn’t have anything on Sango. Her friend leaned over, looking down at her with a smile as she tossed a small towel down onto her face. She grabbed it and used it to wipe away the sweat on her brow as she sat up.
“You want to take a break?” Sango asked, offering her a hand up.
“Would you be disappointed in me said yes?” Kagome asked.
“Considering we’ve been at it for two hours, and it’s lunch time, I’d say you’re doing pretty good for your first day of training,” Sango replied.
Kagome was a little surprised it had already been that long, not because she didn’t feel like she’d just spent two hours mostly getting knocked on her ass, but because it seemed like an impossible amount of time for her not to have been worried about Miroku and InuYasha. She felt a little better knowing that they were together, but there was no denying just how dangerous this whole situation was for all of them.
“Hey, they’ll be fine,” Sango said as if she could read her mind.
“I know you’re right,” Kagome admitted. “But I can’t help it. It didn’t used to be so hard for me to stay positive… I’m sorry.”
“You don’t need to apologize,” Sango told her, laying a hand on her arm. “This last year has been hard on all of us and Miroku and I were only experiencing it second hand. It’s a miracle you’re doing as well as you are after everything you’ve been through.”
Kagome just nodded a little. “So lunch then. I can warm up what was left from our dinner last night if that’s okay with you?”
“Sounds good,” Sango replied. “Everything you cook seems to turn out great so it could be a week old and still taste better than some of the stuff I end up with.” Then she laughed. “At least Miroku will never have to worry about growing fat off my cooking.”
Kagome giggled. “It’s not that bad.”
“Yeah, but it’s not that good either,” Sango said with a smile. “And while we eat you can tell me about this huge favor of yours. I’m sure Miroku has already pried it out of InuYasha anyway, even if it was only to get him to shut up and quit asking.”
Kagome grinned as she opened the fridge. “I would have loved to have known you all back then. I have trouble picturing how you all became friends. The only thing I can picture is Miroku wearing him down until he finally decided to stop fighting it.”
“Actually that’s not too far from the truth,” Sango said as she got out a couple of plates. “You know how Miroku is. In spite of all his flirting and teasing, he really does care about other people, and apparently he’s always been that way. Where other people saw him as a jerk with a bad temper, Miroku saw someone lonely and grieving and in desperate need of a friend. InuYasha didn’t make it easy, but as evidenced by his refusal to take no for an answer from me, once he has his mind set on something, there is no changing it. Thank goodness.”
Kagome dumped the remains of the previous night’s dinner in a pan to warm it on the stove and stirred it slowly. “I don’t suppose you have any photos from back then.”
“Oh, I’m sure I have at least a few,” Sango replied. “I would have more, but I sort of tore up all the ones with that bitch in them after what she did. I even burned them in effigy.”
“I bet he doesn’t know you did that, does he?” Kagome questioned.
“No, but only because we weren’t allowed to speak of her,” Sango said.
“Hmm, maybe you should tell him now,” Kagome offered as she plated their lunch. “I think he’d appreciate the sentiment, even after all this time.”
Sango took her plate with thanks as Kagome joined her at the table. They both said a quick ‘itadakimasu’ and then started to eat. After a few bites Sango finally asked, “So, favor? And don’t look so nervous. You know whatever it is, I’m going to say yes, so just get it out already.”
Kagome sighed. “It’s not that I think you’ll say no. I just hate that it feels like I’m always asking for help. I feel like such a burden all the time.”
Sango rolled her eyes. “Friends help each other out. It’s not a burden, but a blessing, and I know that if there is ever a time when I need help you would be the first one there insisting that I let you be the one. Now, let’s hear it.”
“Okay,” Kagome said with a deep breath. “I know InuYasha told you when he called that Kaede miko-sama came by and talked to us about me being a Midori class miko and what that meant, but what he didn’t say was that the highest ranking miko has to perform the kagura at setsubun.”
“You?” Sango questioned.
Kagome nodded. “So not only do I have to do a purification dance when I haven’t done one in almost ten years I got a vision or something from the kami-sama of the four of us doing it together. Spiritualist and hanyou and spiritualist and human. I have to show them that youki and reiki don’t have to be opposing forces, and that what really matters is what is in our hearts and souls, not what kind of blood runs through our veins.”
Sango laid her chopsticks across her plate and sat back. “That’s asking a lot of a dance don’t you think.”
“Tell me about it,” Kagome agreed. “Not to mention Kaede miko-sama is convinced I’m supposed to be this guiding light that is going to bring balance back into the world and on top of that to face down some great evil. Though in truth I can’t say if I more worried about that or about dancing in front of so many people. I never was the most graceful and then there’s InuYasha. Can you imagine how awkward he’s going to make me look in comparison? What if I fall on my face?”
“Well, first of all, InuYasha wouldn’t let that happen,” Sango said. “He’d definitely catch you first, so that’s one less thing you need to worry about.”
Kagome laughed a little. “This is why you’re my best friend.”
“One of many reasons why, I’m sure,” Sango teased back. “So did the Kami-sama give you any tips on how to pull this off aside from it needing to be the four of us?”
Kagome closed her eyes. “I can see it in my head, how it will go.” She opened them again. “So does this mean you’re in?”
“Of course,” Sango replied.
“Are you sure this is the right place?” Miroku asked as they entered the lobby of a decidedly run down hotel.It was the type of place that was really more like no lease apartments where you could pay by the day or the week or the month and most of the people were long time residents. The decor was outdated, faded and well worn. There was a reception desk but no one was there and the bank of two elevators looked very suspect.
“Yeah,” InuYasha replied as he took in their surroundings.”Myouga-jiji might be a cowardly old bastard, but he knows better than to give me bad information. Shit, it fucking stinks.”
Miroku sniffed a little. “Granted I am not detecting a pleasant odor, but it’s not that bad. Maybe a little stale.”
“Keh, lucky you to be missing out then,” InuYasha snorted. “You think of a bodily fluid and it’s here. I’m just glad this is our last stop for the day so I can get back to Kagome. One whiff of her and it will clear out all the shit clogging up my senses right now.”
“She does always smell very nice, doesn’t she,” Miroku said, glancing at his friend out of the corner of his eye. “I have often appreciated her almost obsessive cleanliness, since it often allowed for opportunities to accidentally catch a glimpse of her true beauty.”
InuYasha of course knew what the bouzo was trying to do. “You know if there was one thing I always appreciated about Sango it was her ass. I sure as hell couldn’t jerk off thinking about Kikyou’s since it was like a ten year old boy’s.”
Miroku choked a little, but it quickly turned into a laugh. “Fair enough, my friend. Fair enough. Shall we get on with it then?”
InuYasha chuckled. “Yeah let’s. The sooner we get out of here the better. Stairs?”
Miroku cast a dubious look at the elevators and then nodded. “I think that the wisest choice.”
The room they were looking for was on the third floor. Supposedly it was where there would find some of this bastard’s hired muscle. Intelligence he’d gathered made it clear that they were mercenaries posing as legitimate private security. They hadn’t actually killed anyone yet, at least not anyone that could be conclusively linked back to them or the asshole posing as Akitoki Hojou. However, they would screw up eventually and the pretext for this visit was to let them know what would happen if they did and that no one started working in Tokyo that the Youkai no Taishou didn’t know about. It was a soft enough poke that would let their boss know he was on his trail, but not one that would make it obvious that he knew he wasn’t who he appeared to be. It might also give him some insight or information about this bastard’s real operation.
They stepped out onto the third floor and right away something had InuYasha’s youkai on edge. He noted that Miroku too seemed to be sensing something wrong about this place. He wasn’t usually one to think in such terms but it felt almost unclean somehow. He couldn’t wait to get this over with and get out of here, but no matter what happened he was going to tell Sesshomaru they needed to keep a close eye on these fuckers, whoever they were. The headed down the hall to the last door on the left. InuYasha knocked firmly and then they waited.
The man who opened the door was younger than InuYasha had expected, probably not even twenty years old, but the look in his eyes revealed that this was definitely who they had come looking for. This wasn’t some kid, but a cold blooded killer, and an experienced one at that, judging by the way he held himself.
“Ban-kun, who is it?”
Miroku and InuYasha shared a stunned look as another man appeared wearing a markedly feminine yukata, though he too had an air of danger about him as he appraised them with a calculating eye.
“Oh, you’re adorable! I especially love those fuzzy ears of yours! I want them!” the second man said. “Then again you’re pretty sexy yourself, monk.”
InuYasha cleared his throat. “The youkai no taishou wants to make it clear that there is nothing that happens in this city that he doesn’t know about. We know you’re here working for Hojou Akitoki. Just know whatever he thinks or whatever he’s told you, no one is above the law.”
“Awe, look at the puppy growl!”
“Jakotsu!” the one called Ban snapped. “Enough.”
Jakotsu pouted. “Can’t we invite them into play? I really want those cute ears! I bet he’d put up a real fight and last a long time.”
“You’ve delivered your message then. Is that it?” Ban asked.
InuYasha suppressed the urge to shudder as the really creepy one blew a kiss in his direction and then licked his lips. “For now, but you’d better watch yourselves or next time you see me the conversation won’t be so pleasant.”
Ban arched a brow. “That sounded like a threat. I’ll look forward to it then.”
“Let’s go monk,” InuYasha said. “We’re done here.”
Though his instincts were telling him not to turn his back on his enemy, he ignored them because he knew it would be a bigger mistake to show even the smallest hint that he thought they were actually worth worrying about. He wasn’t however stupid and so as he walked down the hall with Miroku he kept all his senses trained in that direction. So too could he feel the monk’s reiki like a wall at their back. They definitely had plenty to discuss once they could be certain they wouldn’t be overheard.
Stepping back out into the open air had InuYasha’s shivering as he shook off the feeling of wrongness that had pervaded his senses. “Those guys are going to be trouble and now I’ve got an itch to figure out just what the rest of them are up to right now.”
“There were others?” Miroku asked.
“If my nose is to be trusted, six or seven,” InuYasha replied. “So that means there are five of them out there somewhere doing who knows what. I don’t like it.” The he sighed. “But you know what, that’s not my problem, not until they make it mine, so let’s get back. I’ll call Sesshomaru and let him deal with it.”
“Six or seven,” Miroku repeated. “That’s even more disturbing if the rest are anything like those two. I’ve never felt such strange auras, so dark. Would that I could think of a better way to describe them… murky perhaps.”
“The word you’re looking for monk is unclean,” InuYasha said. “Now come on already.”
Kagome and Sango both froze as the front door opened and shut. From the other room they could heard Miroku and InuYasha. The smiled at each other, both relieved to have their men return safe and sound, even though they had been trying hard not to think about that while training. Sango let Kagome shove her to the side so that she could be the first one out the door and then followed her.
“You’re back,” Kagome cried as she jumped into InuYasha’s arms and wrapped her legs around his waist.
He held her up as she kissed him hard on the mouth and then laughed. “That’s a hell of welcome, beautiful. I think you’re making the bouzo jealous.”
Kagome looked to Miroku who was grinning and her face heated. “Sorry, I was just worried about you and I was happy you’re home, I…” she pushed at him. “So let me down, already.”
“Keh, no way,” he said. “You should’ve thought about that before you jumped on me.”
“InuYasha, don’t be a jerk,” she told him. “Besides I’m all sweaty and need a shower.”
“I like you all sweaty,” he said as he licked the column of her throat.
Miroku cleared his throat. “Perhaps you two would like to be alone?”
“Good idea,” InuYasha said. “I could definitely use a shower.” Ignoring Kagome as she continued to try to get down he headed towards their room. “So, while we do that you can fill Sango in and after we’ll order in or something. Oi, be still woman before I put you over my shoulder.”
Kagome was embarrassed but smiling too as he did just that. “We won’t be long,” she called to their friends before he shut the door behind them.
“Won’t be long, huh?” he asked as he set her on her feet in the bathroom. He circled his arms around her and nipped at her neck. “Says you.”
“Yes, says me,” she told him pushing away. “Now be good and I’ll let you convince me we have time for a quickie. Otherwise you’ll have to wait until they go home.”
He chuckled and started to undress. “Alright woman, you win. I wasn’t kidding about wanting a shower anyway. Most of our stops today didn’t amount to shit but the last one…” He paused with a shudder. “It was in this rank hotel and they didn’t deny working for this bastard. I’m gonna have Sesshomaru keep them under tight surveillance. They are definitely going to be trouble.”
Kagome slipped her arms around him from behind and pressed several kisses against his back before laying his cheek there between his shoulders. “Trouble for us or trouble in general.”
He moved her arms so that he could turn around. “Probably both, but you don’t need to worry about that. You know what, maybe I’m wrong anyway and I was just weirded out by the asshole who called me adorable and talked about how cute my ears are.”
Kagome gaped up at him and then grinned. “I told you I wasn’t the only one who liked them. Should I be worried?”
“Fuck woman, don’t even joke about that,” he said. “That dude gave me the creeps, but enough about that. The more time we stand here talking the less time you’re gonna give me in the shower.”
“Hey, you were the one who started telling me about your day,” she reminded him.
He reached around her and opened the shower door. She cast him a glance over her shoulder as she stepped inside and he was right behind her. Neither one of them wasted any time in the actual washing, since for all that he had insisted that they not take too long, she was just as excited at the prospect of being with him as he was to be with her.
InuYasha molded himself to her back, one hand seeking her breast and the other sliding through the curling hair at the apex of her thighs. She leaned back against him, hooking one hand back around his neck as he dragged his fangs over her shoulder. He teased her for a few minutes to get her ready before applying gentle pressure against the middle of her back. Kagome shivered and bent over, bracing her hands against the wall.
“Fuck me,” InuYasha groaned. “Sorry beautiful, but you look so delicious right now that I’ve gotta have a taste first.”
As his hands gripped her and his tongue slipped inside her she gasped. “Mmm, no complaints here.”
He chuckled against her, but she didn’t care because he also went to work doing what he did so well and making her feel so good it was hard to think about anything else. She hung her head as he brought her ever closer to her climax, until at last she was crying out his name in release. Her body was still trembling as he sank into her slowly and the satisfied sound he made caused her to shudder.
“You sure I have to be fast?” he asked as he rocked his hips at a torturous pace.
She wanted to say no. She really did. She wanted to stay with him and let him make love to her until neither one of them could move and then to lay with him after, but their friends were waiting for them and it was going to be hard enough to face them as it was. Though if Miroku tried to tease her too much she had plenty of ammunition of her own and was sure InuYasha did as well. He’d definitely back her up.
“Oh, hmm, not too fast,” she breathed.
“Gods, you really are perfect,” he said with something between a laugh and a groan.
Kagome braced herself as he gripped her hips more firmly and picked up the pace. She loved the way he felt inside her, the way he held onto her like he would never let go. His hands moved around her waist and then lower. He knew just how to touch her to have her on the brink of ecstasy in what felt like no time at all.
“Don’t wanna leave you behind,” he said as he leaned over her back. He nipped at her and then soothed her skin with his tongue. “Come for me, Kagome.”
She focused on the sound of his voice and the heat of his mouth as he continued to move against her, thought about how much she loved him and her entire body went hot and tight. She cried out his name and could practically feel his satisfaction in his youki’s caress. He circled her arms around her and held her tightly as he slowed and then slipped out of her. He held her for another moment and then released her only to take her back into his arms as soon as she turned around. His mouth fell over her and he kissed her deeply.
As she smiled up at him he brushed his nose against hers. “You got any preference for dinner?”
“Anything is fine,” she replied with a shake of her head.
“Then I’ll get out so you can finish in here,” he told her. He moved to step out and she just couldn’t resist delivering a hard smack to his behind. She giggled as he looked back at her with a fake scowl that was belied by the amusement in his gaze. “You’ll pay for that later, woman.”
“I hope so,” she said. “Now close the door. You’re letting all the heat out.”
He rolled his eyes as she cranked up the hot water and closed the door. He didn’t know how she could stand to boil herself alive, but as long as she was willing to take cooler showers with him then he could live with that. Hell, he’d probably let her boil him if it ever came to that. He dried off and looked at himself in the mirror. Over his shoulder he could just make out the shape her of through the already steamy glass. He knew he was stupid over her, but he just didn’t care. She was what had been missing all his life and he was never going to take her for granted.
He left the bathroom and grabbed some clean clothes from the dresser. He went for a something traditional because it was comfortable, easy to take off, and because he was thinking that they should probably get started planning for setsubun. He ignored Miroku’s smug grin when he entered the main part of the apartment. Like the damn bouzo didn’t go after Sango every chance he got. Plus he had years of deprivation to make up for.
He grabbed the takeout menus out of the drawer and the phone and went to sit in one of the armchairs. “You guys can pick,” he said tossing the menus on the table in front of the sofa. “Kagome’s fine with whatever.”
“Worked up an appetite has she?” Miroku asked.
“Ignore him,” Sango said as she moved around the papers on the table and then selected one. “He’s just jealous. Is everyone okay with Italian?”
By the time their order had been placed Kagome rejoined them in a pair of leggings and a long sweater. Her hair was still wet and pulled back in a ponytail. “I hope you guys don’t mind I dressed down. Sango really wore me out today.”
“Are you sure that was Sango?” Miroku teased.
“You really want to do this monk?” InuYasha asked as he held out his hand to encourage Kagome to come over and sit with him. He hooked one arm around her waist as she sat on his knee. “If so we could talk about why you like the fact that Kagome’s so clean.”
Sango and Kagome both looked at Miroku who was suddenly blank faced. “Care to share, houshi-sama?”
Miroku cleared his throat and glared at his hanyou friend. “If we’re sharing, InuYasha should go first.”
“Fine by me,” InuYasha said calling his bluff. “Sango, I said you have a nice ass and that I used to jerk off thinking about you back in high school, but I only said it after he admitted liking that Kagome bathes so much cause it gave him more chances to peep at her.”
Miroku was stammering as a very red faced Sango waited for an explanation. “I was merely trying to get a rise out of him I assure you. Any glimpses I might have seen of her were purely accidental.”
“What about you then?” Kagome asked. “Were you just shutting him down or did someone have the hots for Sango-chan back in the day?”
InuYasha’s face heated. “Like that pervert never jerked off thinking about you.”
Kagome laughed. “So it was both then.”
“You are so bad, Kagome-chan,” Sango said with a giggle. “Making him admit that. Too bad I already knew. He used to stare at my ass all the time. Kikyou didn’t have much in that department and youkai are drawn to females with classic markers of fertility. I never took it personally. Other than that I was never his type.”
“And you called me bad,” Kagome said. “I think you sent the both into shock.”
She shrugged. “That’s what they get for talking about us like that when we aren’t around.”
“Well to be fair we talk about them too,” Kagome offered. “Don’t forget you owe me those pictures.”
“What pictures?” InuYasha asked, finally finding his voice again.
“Oh just whatever ones she had left from when you guys were younger,” Kagome replied. “I kind of wish she hadn’t burned all the ones with Kikyou in effigy so that I could have seen what she looked like.”
InuYasha blinked, looking from her to Sango. “Did you really?”
Sango blushed a little. “Yes. I couldn’t go and kick her ass, but I had to do something.”
“It was quite a spectacle really,” Miroku added. “She was ruthless, destroying all trace of that woman and even after being friends with you for so long I found myself shocked by her language. She invented several new curses that day, I’m sure.”
“Keh, thanks,” InuYasha said quietly. “You were both better friends than I deserved most of the time. If you guys had written me off I’d never have met Kagome either.” It was then that someone knocked on the door. “Phew, perfect timing. No mushy crap during dinner either. I don’t want it to put off my appetite.”
Everyone laughed as InuYasha shifted Kagome off his leg and onto the chair so that he could go answer the door.
