Chapter 5

[Words in Italics are thoughts]

Random objects whizzed by Sesshoumaru�s head as he watched Kagome ransack her pack for something she called a �bye-all-oh-gee� textbook. To the youkai�s bemusement, she had attempted to explain the problem, only to begin stuttering.
Kagome had her head buried as far as it could go into her pack, sending silent thanks to her Okaa-san for pushing her to bring her school books in a fruitless hope that Kagome would have a chance to review. Kaa-san probably was not expecting them to be used this way!! But at least it saves me the trouble of explaining menstruation to Sesshoumaru. A wave of frustrated embarrassment washed through her as she recalled her stilted attempts of informing Sesshoumaru.
She�d gotten as far as, �Well once a month females rid their body of blood and tissue�it comes from their va�va�va�.� She just couldn�t say it!! Her, a liberated 21^st century woman, couldn�t talk about an everyday issue! Oh if her girl friends could see her now, they�d be so ashamed. But really, one would think that after being alive for over half a millennium, a person would learn a few basic facts! Before her self-depreciating thoughts could descend any lower, her fingers skimmed a pointed edge.
�Ah-hah!� The miko turned around to face a stoic Taiyoukai. With a sigh Kagome lowered her gaze and flipped the book to the appropriate section. Hmmmm, I wonder how much writing has changed over the past five hundred years.

�What is this?�
�It�s like a scroll�.it has information. It will explain the�..er�.problem. Can you read it?�
�Do you think I cannot read Kagome?�
�No, no�it�s just that writing from my home is�.well it might be a bit different.� Her placating words fell on deaf ears; Sesshoumaru was completely absorbed with what he was reading.
Kagome watched his face like a hawk, hoping to detect the smallest flicker of an emotion that would give her a hint what the youkai was thinking. She followed his eyes as he studied the corresponding diagram of the female body. Ever so slowly his pupils dilated, and was it just her --or was he a little paler than normal?
Sesshoumaru�s mind was frantically trying to assimilate the knowledge it was being fed. In any other being this chaotic jumble would reign supreme, reducing them to a nervous fool. However, years of mental training kicked in and like a computer from the far distant future his mind began to methodically file and mitigate what he just learned. As facts clicked and snapped into place, Sesshoumaru did what any self-respecting male would do. He went for a brief stroll in the land of Denial. It is the most charming little oasis right next to the Nile.

No, I must have misunderstood�that is barbaric. Impossible. Those golden orbs steadily raced over the slightly unfamiliar writing�. Oh Gods.

�Err�Sesshoumaru-sama, do you�.uh�.understand.�
��
�Sesshoumaru?�
Just as she was going to do the unthinkable and attempt to shake the youkai out of his stupor, she was pinned by a vicious stare. �You are going to bleed�consistently�over a prolonged period of time. This will aide the cycle of reproduction.�

�Yes�.but you�.uh�understand the problem right?� She winced at the hard look in those molten eyes; she figured loosing control for a week was not something the youkai was keen on. �Sesshoumaru�..I've had some time to think about it�. I believe I have a solution." Kagome did everything but look into his eyes. Right now there was a rather fascinating tree branch hanging directly above---
"What is your solution?" In all honestly Sesshoumaru was interested to see the miko wrangle her way out of the situation. It seemed that when called upon the girl could be rather devious. After all she had managed to keep their secret for far longer than he'd hoped�..but now this! Are the Gods against me?

"Well��it's�.ah�it�s a tampon."
"How will this tamp-on solve the problem? From what I understand nothing will stop the

bleeding but times passage."
"Yes, but this will�eh� hold the blood back�.so it wont�.come out of�well�you

know�"
"Indeed." Thoughts scurried through his mind like mice in a field of golden wheat. "How much longer until you begin to bleed?" He fought the urge to smirk when the miko blushed charmingly.
" Two days. "
Sesshoumaru processed this information, and then turned his mind to other matters. In a few brief minutes gasps and moans filled the air.
Kagome was still enthralled by the spell the taiyoukai's touches couched her in, and thus she did not notice the crimson eyes that stared at her pensively. After a few moments a wicked, wicked smile graced his fey features. Seven days��oh�.the possibilities are endless.

In the heavens above the fates smiled, as the two would be lovers stepped further into their predestined web.
*****************
Confusion was not an abnormal state for Inuyasha to be in. But lately�..lately his confusion tolled heavily upon him, for his choices would not only effect himself�but also another�.a very precious other. So for once he did the unexpected: Inuyasha took the time life provided to think things through. This was one decision he could not afford to bungle. However, it looked as if his luck had finally turned! He was not quite sure how it happened but one day, not so long ago he'd found himself kissing Kagome.
For a brief moment the hanyou had felta sort of uneasy peace. In those few tics of second's hand, all was right in Inuyasha�s world. Kikyou, Naroku, Sesshoumaru, the Shikon, Miroku, Sango, Shippou�..all of them, and the worries attached to them, had disappeared into the ether of consciousness. For Inuyasha the world existed only of him and the elusive feeling of safe kissing Kagome created.
That miniscule pebble in the well of time had given Inuyasha the hope he needed to decide�..to decide between life and death, between the memory of Kikyou and the future of Kagome. In the end it was not quite so hard to choose. As the days grew between his last memory of Kikyou, the grief he felt at her passing began to numb a bit�.. after all she was not really dead. The way he figured, Kagome was her reincarnation, so that meant she was in essence Kikyou. Kagome's increasing resemblance to her dead predecessor only served, in Inuyasha's mind, to prove his point.
Now�.now the blasted girl wanted to 'take a break.' Kami-sama they were hunting a villain that would happily kill them all. This was not the time to go to some special miko resort.
"But Inuyasha, it will make me stronger!"
"No! What do you need to be strong for?! I will protect you."
" Of course you will, but it will help my miko powers�..I will be able to track the Shikon and Naroku, even when they are a great distance away."
"�.."
�Think of it, no more running around aimlessly hoping that I'll pick up a stray wisp of energy! We would know where he is�.we could even find a way to trap him instead of the other way around!!" Inuyasha answered her by moving to the edge of the fire's circle and turning his back on Kagome. "UGH! He never wants to listen."
" I will talk to him Kagome-sama."
"Yes Kagome-chan, Miroku will talk some sense into him!" The frustrated miko sighed, and continued to stroke the fur of her small kitsune.

*****************
The only thing indicating that the hanyou accepted the monk�s presence was a slight twitch of his ears. "Kagome-sama is right Inuyasha. We've been stuck chasing after Naroku, this might give us the edge we need to finally corner the bastard."
"Feh."
"Oh come on, we could all use a rest anyway. Everyone is weary, a few days spent in an actual bed, with real food will do everyone some good."
"Hmph."
Across the fire a miko, huntress, and foxling smiled in victory!
*****************
" Do you want to be purified into a human Inuyasha? Huh?! DO YOU!!!?"
"Fine! But if you get into trouble don�t call my name!!!�
" I couldn't be any safer if Kami himself decided to become my own personal bodyguard! Powerful priestesses of every sort will be SURROUNDING me; no one could get to me. O.K!"
Little sheep, little sheep shall you baa until noon? You are surrounded by your flock��.but no one can hear you.
They had reached a literal fork in the road. The path to the right led you to the bustling village of Hyemeyo, where the group (minus a miko) would spend a week recuperating from their long trek across the mountain range.
Following the less worn path to the left would lead you to an exclusive miko resort that boasted hot springs and Shiatsu massages galore for its clientele, along with an assortment of meditation classes with Master Miko's! Kagome was excited to say the least---- until Inuyasha had thrown a new wrench in her plans of rest and relaxation. Now they all stood at the intersection, awaiting the outcome of Kagome and Inuyasha's staring contest.
"Don�t make me say it Inuyasha." Taking his lack of response for compliance, Kagome turned brightly and began her goodbyes.
Sweeping Shippou into a warm hug, she cuddled her kit to her chest, "I will miss you so much. Be a good kitsune and try not to aggravate Inuyasha so much." Shippou nodded tearfully, making her heart wrench. Giving him a final hug, she surreptitiously slipped a few gold pieces into his pocket, winking and saying: "Incase you see some sweets you wish to buy."

Kagome looked at Sango telling her sternly to, "Get some rest, and watch out for Hentai Monks!" With a pointed look at Miroku she walked up to him, "Don't be a Hentai, and try not to impregnate any village girls."
"Yes Kagome-sama."
Last but definitely not least was Inuyasha. For a while she could do naught but stare into his unhappy eyes. How it hurt her to cause him more sadness. In those infinitesimal eons, Kagome almost reconsidered her decision. Finally, after taking a fortifying breath, she found the will power to speak, "Take care of them Inuyasha. I will meet you back here in a week."
With one last sigh, she turned to walk away�..only to be halted when Inuyasha grabbed her wrist and spun her about. No sooner could she begin to utter a word, when his soft lips stilled her mouth. Before her mind could right itself, she expected the nip of fangs or the soft press of a luscious tongue upon hers. Then it hit her�. Inuyasha was kissing her. After doubt finished wreaking its havoc, Kagome was swept up in the pure innocence of his kiss. It was over almost before it began. The miko was not sure who was more shocked, she or the hanyou. A soft blush spread across the apple of her cheeks.
"Be safe Kagome, I will miss you. "With a bemused nod, and a small smile Kagome turned once more � this time with a bounce in her step� to continue towards the resort.
Barely had she taken a few steps forward, when she heard Miroku comment, "Hmmm, next time be a bit more forceful when you kiss Kagome-sama. She looks like the type of female who likes it rough�. ne Kagome-sama?" The last part was directed to the stock-still miko.

Inuyasha could only stand there gaping like a fish. Kagome re-started her journey as she felt the whistle of Sango's boomerang part the air. She missed nary a step when calling back, " Thanks Sango-chan."
The huntress toed the monks still form at her feet before replying, "Think nothing of it Kagome-chan. Have a good time!!"

*****************
Kagome was sure she had found heaven on earth. Her muscles felt blissfully relaxed as she sunk into the goose down stuffed, and silk ensconced mattress. Finally that persistent tightness around her temples was beginning to dissipate. With a brief glance at the sun high in the sky, she decided that now was a good a time as any for a nap.
A cool breeze, signaling the onset of twilight awoke the slumbering girl�..well��.that and a cramp and her lower abdomen. Receiving a sudden epiphany, Kagome quickly scrambled off of the white silk bed. Gah! How could I forget about my period! After attending to her necessary things, she walked to her sack and tucked a familiar blade into the sleeve of the white robe she'd been given for the duration of her stay at the miko haven.
Taking care to leave the protective boundaries that the resort provided, after all it would not do to have the Taiyoukai of the Western Lands purified (as tempting as the thought was), Kagome found a 'safe' spot and nicked a cut into her shoulder. It was a brief wait before she saw a streak of gilded white rushing towards her. Ah�the ice man cometh!

*****************
Kagome snuggled blearily into her silken cocoon. "Mmmmm. That was the best nights sleep I've had in a while!"
"I am happy to hear that Kagome, since you will be staying here for a while." As that all too familiar caramel drawl sent shivers down her spine, Kagome sat up abruptly and turned to look into the glowing red eyes of her captor.

The Red Hunger: Chapter 6 Preview

Now�now, he stood looking at the rather delectable miko who was comfortably nestled in his silken sheets-while at the same time glaring at him � and answered her question. "Why Kagome? Why not?" �� Many always assumed that it was easy being powerful. Most wished for it, yearned for it-- launched epic journeys after a mythical jewel in hopes of gaining it. What fools they were �� Like the brilliant tactician he was, the taiyoukai quickly assessed his options, felt safe in making the assumption Kagome would not let him commit a mass murder, and then gave in to the inevitable. ��.. For Sesshoumaru, regret was the last emotion he would feel for almost a thousand years.
