Live
and Let Die: Learning to Deal
Chapter 1: The More Things Change… (^~^ Warning:
Chapter contains Lemon)
InuYasha did
not know how much
longer he could take it, or hold his temper.
Ever since they had returned from the past Kagome’s grandfather
had been
after him. In spite of the
demonstration of her heightened powers to him and her mother, the old
man kept
asking things like, “Why did you not wait?” “Did you have to do it now?” “Could you not have waited until she
finished school?” It was really
starting to wear on the hanyou’s nerves.
Grandpa also found some more ofuda to slap on InuYasha, but they
had the
same effect that they did when the couple had first returned; the sutra
blew up
in a puff of smoke and turned to dust the minute they made contact with
InuYasha’s body.
Mama and
Kagome kept trying to
reassure the hanyou that everything was alright, and that her
grandfather was
just being ornery. Finally though, the
morning after her test which had been the reason they were stuck here
for now,
InuYasha finally snapped.
“It’s not
like we had any
choice, you know!!” He yelled in the old man’s face at the breakfast
table.
Kagome took
one look at him and
her eyes opened wide. The tears started
to pour as she fled from the house in her stocking feet, blindly
running across
the shrine grounds.
“Fuck!”
InuYasha exclaimed as he
took off after her. He panicked as soon as he cleared the doorway and
saw the
direction his mate was headed.
The hanyou
was a blur as he
raced to get ahead of her, and caught her as her foot stepped into
nothing but
air as she ran past the top of the long staircase that led from the
shrine to
the street below. Gathering her into
his arms, InuYasha headed to the Goshinboku, and jumped up to his
favorite
branch.
InuYasha did
not say anything as
Kagome pounded on his chest. The only
things he could make out that she was saying through her tears were,
“Why?” and
“I thought you loved me.”
As the hanyou
held his mate
close, he wished that they knew how to make the telepathic contact at
will that
they had made on their last trip by accident.
His brother was coming to the village to work with them to gain
control
of the new ability they had discovered, but InuYasha wished he knew how
now
because he thought that by now his mate understood that what
came out of
his mouth often was not what he meant.
So, he held onto her and let her beat his chest with her fists
while she
cried herself out. He refused to let
her go until they came to an understanding.
Yes, he had lost his temper, and it was up to him to make it
right. InuYasha couldn’t blame anyone but
himself
for what he had said.
Kagome tears
had started to
lessen, but she was trying to draw away from him by curling up into a
ball in
his lap. InuYasha had pulled her close
to him, and started a soothing growl in his chest that he hoped would
comfort
her as he gently rocked her. He kissed
her on top of her head and held her until she finally started to loosen
back up
a little.
“I’m sorry,
Kagome. I thought you knew me well enough
by now to
know that things don’t usually come out the way I meant them to. I do
love you,
and I want you as my mate. You are the
only one I have ever wanted as my mate.
I don’t just love you, I trust you.
Please Kagome, don’t cry any more,” the hanyou said softly as he
continued to rock the miko in his arms.
Kagome
started to uncurl herself
a little from the tight ball in his lap, “Then why did you say we
didn’t have a
choice?”
“Fuck, Kagome. It seems like the old man has been after me
every minute of nearly every day since we returned.
He keeps asking why I took you as my mate, why couldn’t I have
waited. He just doesn't stop.
I didn't mean that I don't want you, I was
trying to tell him that we really did not have a choice about when.
We’ve never
told him that our souls were already bonded together, and that was what
I was
trying to tell him. I think your mother
understands even if he doesn't. She
told me that we needed to sit down with him and tell him everything. I…I…well it just didn’t come out
right.” InuYasha sighed.
Kagome
wrapped her arms around
his body as she snuggled against his chest.
“I’m sorry, InuYasha. I should
have given you the chance to explain before I ran off.”
“You really
scared me when I saw
you running towards that staircase. You
could have really been hurt,” the hanyou said softly.
Kagome
snuggled a little
closer. “Thanks for catching me. Should we go back in and try to explain?”
“In a minute.
I just want to
hold you right now,” InuYasha responded.
“InuYasha?”
“Hum?”
“Are you
ready to go back? To
your era, I mean?” the miko asked.
The hanyou
sighed. “I would be, but the new moon is
in two
nights. I was hoping to wait until that
was past. But if the old man keeps
after me…”
“I’m sorry,
InuYasha. But on the bright side, Souta is
thrilled he
can consider you as his brother-in-law now.
You are his hero, you know.”
InuYasha
blushed. “Feh.”
“InuYasha?”
The hanyou
looked quizzically at
his mate. She wrapped her hands in his
hair and pulled his face to hers in a kiss.
It was slow and passionate, tongues dueling to gain entrance to
the other’s
mouth. When they finally had to pull
apart for air, InuYasha pressed his forehead against hers while they
panted
lightly.
“InuYasha? Do
you want to go
back for a little while and check on the others, and to see if your
brother has
arrived yet? We can make up some excuse
as to why we need to come back for a couple more days.
The others will understand once they figure
out when the moonless night is. Maybe
we can find some time to ourselves while we are there.
You know, some place where the others won’t
hear us…” Kagome blushed as she made her suggestion.
InuYasha
kissed her gently. “Sounds like a plan. Let’s go try to explain this to the old man
first, though.”
“Alright,”
the miko
responded.
InuYasha
gathered her back up in
his arms and jumped lightly down from the tree. Since
Kagome had run out of the house in her socks, he carried
her back in. When they reached the
kitchen, they noticed that Souta was gone; he was probably on his way
to school
by now.
InuYasha set
his mate down and
she said, “We have some things we think we need to explain to you. You don’t know the whole story, and it is
time that you do.” Kagome looked at her
mother. “Mama, could we have some more
tea, please? This may take a little
while.”
The four of
them sat around the
kitchen table as Kagome and InuYasha explained everything they could to
her
grandfather about how their souls had been bound together without them
even
realizing it. Kagome also told him that
there were demons that would grab her and claim her as their own if
given the
chance, which would probably lead to her demise as well as InuYasha’s. A pot and a half of tea later, both the
hanyou and miko were blushing furiously, but had answered all of his
questions
that they could.
“So when you
said you did not
have a choice, you really meant it,” her grandfather finally said
thoughtfully.
“Jii-chan,
InuYasha really loves
me, and we would most likely have eventually gotten over our
stubbornness and
realized how we really felt about each other.
And yes, we probably would have tried to wait until the jewel
was
complete because we had no way of knowing what the outcome of our union
would
be. But as it is, I am glad this happened.
We are both stronger because of it, and united in ways we never
dreamed
of. We have to go back in a couple of
days to start working to gain control of some of the abilities we have
discovered. For instance, we both have
been able to create a barrier, but do not know how we did it. Miroku and Kaede are going to help to see if
they can teach us to control it.”
Her
grandfather looked at the
two of them. “You mean you both
could create a barrier? How could
InuYasha?”
“Keh. We don’t know, and I’ve only done it once.
That’s part of what we
have to figure out,” the hanyou replied.
While the
couple had told them
of most of the abilities they had discovered so far, the one thing they
had
left out was the telepathic connection.
They were afraid it might be a bit much for Mama and the old man
to
digest.
Her
grandfather’s next question
startled them. “Is it true that demons
mark their mates?”
Both blushed,
but InuYasha
answered, “Yeah, it’s true. We marked
each other.”
“May I see?”
he asked.
InuYasha held
his left forearm
out to him. “This is the mark that
Kagome placed on me.”
“Hummm. The Kanji for ‘Forever,’ ‘Friend,’ and
‘Lover.’ Kagome, how did he mark you?”
her grandfather asked.
“I bear the
mark of his family,
which is the crescent moon, and the Kanji for ‘Savior,’ ‘Love,’ and
‘Home,”
Kagome said as she blushed deeper.
“Where are
they?” he asked. Kagome had not
volunteered to show him as InuYasha
had.
“On my
shoulder,” she answered.
“How did they
get there?” her
grandfather pressed.
Kagome jumped
up and grabbed
InuYasha by the hand, “I’ll let Mama explain.
We’re going upstairs to change and go back to check on the
others.”
They were
running up the stairs
when they heard, “WHAAAAT?”
Kagome ran
into her room and
closed the door. “I don’t believe it. I
think Mama actually told him.”
InuYasha
pulled her to him and
kissed her. When he turned her loose he
said with a smirk, “Well, if she did then he knows what we’ve been
doing. No need to hide any more.”
“InuYasha!”
Kagome said in a
tone that made him very glad he no longer had the prayer beads.
The hanyou
pulled her closer and
whispered, “Just kidding. But you are
more fun when you make a lot of noise.”
Kagome
blushed the color of his
firerat and slapped him in the chest.
“Why, you…”
InuYasha
effectively shushed her
by kissing her again.
~~~~~~0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0~~~~~~
Somewhere
quite some distance
away in his hiding place, a Saimyoushou was reporting to its master
what it had
witnessed.
“Ku Ku Ku.
So, the miko and
InuYasha were fucking like two animals in the forest, were they?”
Naraku tossed
the considerable hunk of the Shikon no Tama that he possessed before
catching
it and rolling it between his fingers.
“Well, this could certainly make things interesting. If Kikyou’s powers started to fade because
she became infatuated with the hanyou, I cannot imagine what it would
do to a
miko that is fucking one. So Kagome
gave up her purity to lust and became the whore of a half-demon. I wonder if Sesshomaru knows?
He will probably kill them both before they
further taint his bloodline with human blood, and that is only if
Kikyou does
not get to them first. And then there
is the ookami prince. He was always
proclaiming his love for the miko.
Maybe I will wait a little longer and see what happens. Who will come to kill you, InuYasha? Your rival in love? Your very own brother?
Or your jilted lover? Oh, the possibilities...”
~~~~~~0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0~~~~~~
InuYasha was
dressed in his
firerat with Tessaiga at his hip. Kagome had dressed in a t-shirt and
sweats
for the brief trip back. Fortunately,
she kept a pair of sneakers in her room for any escapes made through
her
window. After InuYasha had peered out
to make certain that her grandfather was not in sight, he picked up
Kagome and
jumped out of the window and dashed across the grounds to the well
house. They quickly went in and shut the
door behind
them.
“Thanks,
InuYasha. I wasn’t ready to see him again
just yet
after what Mama must have told him,” Kagome said to her hanyou.
InuYasha
commented, “You would
think at his age he’d know what being mates meant.”
“I’m sure he
does, he just
doesn’t want to think about his only granddaughter doing those kinds of
things,” Kagome said slyly.
InuYasha was
getting hard just
thinking about it. “Come on, we’d
better go before I take you right here.”
“I thought
you wanted to wait
until I could make some noise,” Kagome said breathily in his ear.
The hanyou
responded by swooping
her up in front of him and jumping into the well. When
he landed, instead of jumping back out again he stood his
mate on her feet and pinned her to the wall, kissing her roughly while
his hand
slipped inside of her sweats to fondle her.
Kagome wrapped one leg around his thigh while she leaned back
against
the well wall and reached up with one hand to tackle an ear. They were tangled together with InuYasha
fervently rubbing her clit and pearl; Kagome could feel the knot in her
belly
tightening up when they heard, “They’re here!
I can feel them.”
“Fuck!”
InuYasha exclaimed
softly. “Remind me not to thank the old bat for helping Shippou learn
to reach
out so far.”
He pulled his
hand back out of
her pants and sucked the juices off of his fingers. Kagome was flushed
and
panting. She had been so close…
“What are you
two doing down
there? Why don’t you come out?” they
heard the kitsune call.
“We were
discussing the best way
to kill you for interrupting us,” InuYasha called back up.
Kagome
blushed, but for once
didn't admonish him.
“Well, we
know you are there, so
you might as well come out.” This time it was the monk’s voice. They looked up to see him peering down at
them.
InuYasha
jumped out of the well
and stood Kagome on her feet. “Yeah,
we’re here. We came back long enough to
check on you guys and see if Sesshomaru is here yet.”
Shippou ran
to Kagome and she
held her arms out for him to jump. He
squeaked when she squeezed him tight before she set him back down.
Sango was
nearby and was also
somewhat flushed. InuYasha leaned over
and whispered in his mate’s ear, “I don’t think we were the only ones
interrupted.”
Kagome looked
towards her
friend. When she caught her eye, Sango
looked at the ground and blushed a little deeper. Kagome
just smiled. Maybe
Sango would lay off of her if she was getting some attention of her own.
“Well, come
on. Didn’t you want to see Kaede?”
InuYasha
broke the silence.
Kagome nodded. “I don’t feel your brother in the area yet.”
Shippou spoke
up, though his
voice quivered. “Lord…Lord Sesshomaru isn’t here yet.
Even before I started practicing, I…I could pick his aura up
because it is so strong.”
“Let’s go see
Kaede, then.” InuYasha bent down for
Kagome to hop on his
back. He had a hard time keeping his
hands where they belonged. He wanted to
rip right through her sweatpants and finish what he had started.
~~~~~~0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0~~~~~~
Lord
Sesshomaru was headed towards
the village that his brother and his mate called home, with Jaken along
with
Rin and Ah-Un following behind him. He
was thinking about the information, or lack thereof, regarding Naraku. It seemed like the dark hanyou had just
vanished from the face of the earth again.
The Taiyoukai had to give him credit for one thing – he knew how
to hide
better than any other single being he had ever come across.
Sesshomaru
was also thinking
about the best way to approach training with his brother and the miko. He wasn’t as concerned about InuYasha for
two reasons; One, when he had attempted to make contact with him
before, the
Demon Lord felt like InuYasha had slammed him against a wall without
even
realizing it. Two, as the bear Myoujou
had stated, InuYasha had seen a great deal of violence and pain in his
life and
he was tough.
On the other
hand, the little
miko was a completely different matter.
She was extremely kind-hearted, almost too much so for her own
good. Also, she always seemed to want
to believe the best in others.
Unfortunately, it might take a hard lesson to show her what
someone
could be capable of if she gave them access and did not shut them out
if
needed. Sesshomaru silently
sighed. For not wanting to be involved
in the matters of mortals, he sure seemed to be helping them a lot
lately.
He heard a
squawk behind him,
but did not need to turn around to know what had probably happened. Rin
had
been running circles around Jaken as they walked along the road. The overly energetic girl had probably
gotten too close and tripped him, again.
Eventually, she would run out of energy and climb up on the back
of
Ah-Un to take a nap, and then awaken to start the cycle all over again. Sesshomaru just shook his head when he heard
Jaken squawk again, and continued his steady pace towards InuYasha’s
forest.
~~~~~~0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0~~~~~~
Sango and
Kagome were in the
lead, with Shippou in the miko’s arms as they walked along the path
that led to
Kaede’s hut. Miroku was being a good boy
and looking at the ground as he walked, rather than the pair of
feminine hips
swaying in front of him. The monk noticed that InuYasha was slowing
down and
letting the girls draw further ahead.
Realizing
that the hanyou
probably wanted to speak to him, Miroku decided to break the ice. “I honestly don’t know how you managed to
keep from killing Shippou. He has the
worst timing.”
“I gather we
aren’t the only
ones that he has interrupted,” InuYasha commented dryly.
“I…I have
been trying to do
right by Sango. I have been trying to
keep my hand in check and not to flirt with the other girls in the
village. All I want is to try and spend
a little quality time with her, but Shippou…”
“Can’t keep
his nose to
himself?”
“Yeah. Why does he keep butting in?” Miroku asked. “I went to the trouble to set up a nice
dinner for just the two of us, and he jumped right in the middle of it.”
“He’s
probably afraid of being
left out again. I’ll try to talk to
him. If he can’t follow instructions,
he’ll just get left behind on the next trip,” InuYasha stated.
“It was kind
of nice not having
him along last time,” the monk said.
“Though I think he wore Kaede out and she is eager for him to go
with us
again.”
“We’ll have
to see. It’s partly up to Kagome since she
determined
his punishment. But if he tries to come
between us again, I might kill him myself.”
“InuYasha,
was there something
you wanted to speak to me about?” Miroku asked hesitantly.
“I just
noticed that you and
Sango smell more like each other, even if you haven’t done that
yet. Just remember she is fertile the
days around the full moon. Be
careful. It is your responsibility,”
the hanyou told him.
“I’ll
remember. Truthfully, we
were almost back to where we started after my last, well, um,
indiscretions. I’ve had to start all over
again,” the monk commented.
“InuYasha, don’t take this the wrong way,
but you certainly have matured. You are
a much different man than you were when we first met.”
“Keh. I have a mate now, not to mention you lot to
look after. Don’t make too much out of
it.” InuYasha
blushed at the compliment.
Miroku
decided to change the
subject since they were almost to the hut.
“So are you and Kagome going to be ready to start working with
us?”
InuYasha
pulled the mat that
covered the door aside as they entered.
The others were already sitting around the fire pit.
“We’ll be
ready in a few
days. We just came back to check on you
guys today,” Kagome responded since she
heard Miroku’s question as they entered the hut.
InuYasha sat
next to his mate as
she continued, “Miroku, Kaede, is there anything we need to do to
prepare
before we come back?”
“Aye, child. Practice your meditation, the two of you
together. Work to filter out all
outside distractions and concentrate on your own aura.
There should be a center, somewhere in your
body, where your power is strongest.
Work to find that point so that you can use it to focus and draw
upon
it,” Kaede answered her.
“Alright,
Kaede, we will. Now, what’s been going on
while I’ve been
studying for my test?” Kagome asked.
The others
launched into detail
what had happened the last week or so while Kagome and InuYasha had
been on her
side of the well. Kagome did not miss
the blush that continued to trace across the demon slayer’s cheeks as
she
watched the monk talk. Though there was
still no news of Naraku, they seemed to have plenty to talk about.
Finally,
InuYasha rose to his
feet. “It’s time for us to leave. We’ll be back after the moonless night.”
“Do you want
us to walk you to
the well?” Sango asked.
“No, that’s
alright. Your dinner is almost ready so
you stay
here. We will be back in three days,”
Kagome told them.
After the
chorus of good-byes
was over, InuYasha hoisted Kagome on his back and headed for the well.
When the
hanyou reached the edge
of his forest, instead of continuing to the well, he took off in a
different
direction altogether. He didn’t stop
until he came to the hot spring he used from time to time that was a
considerable
distance from the village.
Kagome asked
playfully as he
stood her on her feet, “Not ready to go home yet?”
“Out here I
can make you
scream,” the hanyou replied huskily before he thrust his tongue into
her mouth.
Wanting to
finish what he
started, he wrapped his left arm around Kagome and spread his hand
across the
small of her back to support her while he thrust his right into her
sweats. As his fingers pried apart her
folds to dip into her before circling her nub and clit, she raised her
right
leg to wrap around his thigh, but otherwise fell back with her eyes
closed,
trusting the hanyou not to drop her.
In her
relaxed state, it did not
take long before the miko was panting and gasping.
InuYasha was fervently rubbing her pearl with his hand while
nipping up and down her throat before he reached over to capture his
mate’s
lips with his own. Kagome cried into
his mouth as her body started to buck uncontrollably into his hand. He freed her lips from his own so she could
scream his name to the setting sun.
As he slowed
down his ministrations,
he reached over to kiss her again. When
Kagome finally opened her eyes as they parted for air, she looked to
see her
hanyou grinning at her.
“What?” She
asked, seeing the
glint in his eyes.
“I told you
it’s more fun when
you scream,” InuYasha whispered hoarsely to her.
“It’s better
when we scream
together,” the miko responded as she started to tug at his clothing but
stopped
long enough for him to pull her shirt over her head.
It didn’t
take but a minute
before all of their clothing was in a heap on the ground.
Kagome dropped to her hands and knees and
waited for her mate to sheath himself inside of her.
He thrust himself so that he was buried to the hilt, but then
held still. Instead, InuYasha started
running his hands all over her soft flesh, reaching around to knead her
breasts
while he nipped and kissed up and down her spine. The
hanyou chuckled when his mate in frustration started to rock
back into him, establishing a rhythm of her own to try and get him
going.
He finally
relented to his
mate’s whimpers of frustration and pulled himself out slowly before
slamming
back into her again, earning an “oomph” as he hit her cervix.
“Again,” she
begged as he slowly
drew back out.
InuYasha
complied and started to
pound into his mate, over and over and over again. Her cries and moans
were
indecipherable, other than to relay she was experiencing a great deal
of
pleasure. The hanyou kept up his rhythm as he pulled her body upwards
and
started to rub her breast with one hand as he reached around and rubbed
her nub
with the other. As he felt her body
start to coil around his incessant thrusts, he tackled her mark by
licking and
sucking on it.
Kagome was
completely
overwhelmed by the sensations flooding throughout her.
InuYasha had managed to ignite every fiber
of her body on fire. She screamed his
name to the forest as a massive orgasm begin to rocket through her, and
her
channel begin to ripple around him, trying to milk him of his seed. Her brain was flooded too much by pleasure
to really think; it was almost on instinct that she grabbed his forearm
and
pulled it to her mouth, biting down again on the mark she had placed on
him.
InuYasha felt
like a jolt of
electricity had been sent through him when Kagome bit down on his
forearm
before sucking heavily on it. He roared
as he exploded to fill his mate before all of the juices started to
pour back
out due to the force with which they had been expelled.
Neither wanting to let go, they fell over on
their sides, still joined and spooned together with InuYasha still
lapping at
his mark on her shoulder while she did the same to his forearm. The sensations kept him hard and twitching
inside of her as he humped her, unable to stop himself. When Kagome
finally
felt like she could take no more, she stopped her feverish attentions
to his
mark and the hanyou kissed her shoulder while he did the same. Exhausted and covered in a fine sheen of
sweat, they lay together as their heartbeats returned to normal and
their
bodies tried to adjust from the overload of pleasurable sensations each
had
felt.
InuYasha had
both of his hands
now wrapped around Kagome’s waist, with one hand up high enough to cup
her
breast and rub it with his thumb as he held her to him.
She snuggled back against him and wrapped
her arms around his. When she had
finally caught her breath and thought she could speak again, she said
rather
hoarsely, “Wow.”
The hanyou
kissed her shoulder
again, but this time staying clear of her mark so her body could relax. “Does that mean you enjoyed it?” He asked
with a smirk.
“Not any more
than you did,” the
miko responded.
“So you
enjoyed it a lot,”
InuYasha whispered in her ear.
“Yeah,”
Kagome said simply.

~~~~~~0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0~~~~~~
Shippou was
restless and decided
to practice his tracking. Even though InuYasha and Kagome had headed in
a
direction he knew like the back of his own hand, he thought it would be
good
practice. It was a good thing he did
know which way they headed when they left because InuYasha’s stride got
longer
as he ran with Kagome on his back.
However, it seemed to abruptly turn in the direction of the
forest
before they had reached the well.
Wondering what the couple was up to when they had said they were
going
back home, the kit started to track them through the wood.
It was probably fortunate for him that
InuYasha had taken to the tree tops at some point and became almost
impossible
to follow. Puzzled by their actions,
Shippou
headed back in the direction of the well.
He would wait for a while before he went back to tell the others
that
InuYasha and Kagome had not gone to her home.

had arrived with Rin,
Jaken, and Ah-Un in the area before the sun had sunk past the horizon. Giving orders to the three to wait near the
river in the same area they had stayed before, the Demon Lord headed in
the
direction of the well to see if there was any sign of his brother and
the miko.
“Come out,
kitsune. This
Sesshomaru knows you are there,” the Taiyoukai commanded.
Shippou had
hidden behind the
far side of the well when he felt Sesshomaru approach.
Quivering, with his hands clamped around his
butt, he shakily stood from his hiding place.
He tried to speak but he was so scared all that came out was a
frightened
squeak.
Sesshomaru
elegantly raised one
eyebrow as he looked at the terrified kitsune.
“Have you seen the half-breed and Miko?” He could tell they had
been
here because their scent was still fresh.
Shippou
nodded. He finally got up the courage to
say,
“They…they came…to…to visit, but were supposed to go back home. I don’t understand…they started to go back,
but then went that way.” Shippou pointed in the direction where he had
lost
their trail.
“Hn.” Without
another word,
Sesshomaru headed along the route that Shippou had indicated.

Kagome and
InuYasha lay spooned
together for an indeterminate amount of time.
Every time he would start to slide out of her, Kagome would
suckle at
his mark and make him hard all over again.
Finally he asked her, “Aren’t you going to be sore if we keep
this up?”
The miko
actually giggled as she
released his forearm. “Yeah, you’re
right. I want to be ready to take you
on again on the moonless night. You can
turn even more interesting colors when you’re human, not to mention the
funny
little sounds that you make.”
“Feh.”
“Well come
on, let’s go sit in
the hot spring for a little while. That
is the reason you brought me out here, isn’t it?” Kagome questioned her
mate.
“One of them.”
InuYasha
unraveled himself from
his lover and picked her up, carrying her into the water.
The hanyou should not have been surprised
when she turned around to straddle him as he sat down in the water with
her in
his lap. Wrapping her hands in his
mane, she pulled his mouth to hers for a kiss, though this one was
gentle and
consuming. They finally had to pull
apart for air, resting their foreheads against each other as they
breathed in each
other’s essence. The pair then settled
into the warm water, just enjoying each other’s company.
“InuYasha?”
“Yeah?”
“Thanks for
bringing me out
here. I really needed some quality time
with you alone,” Kagome said softly.
“Me too,” The
hanyou
responded. “I wonder how he manages to
do it?”
“Who does
what?” Kagome asked,
but then said, “Oh. Your brother is
here.”
“He has the
worst timing. Well, at least we’re just
soaking in the hot
water now,” InuYasha commented before he called, “Oi, we know you’re
there.”
Sesshomaru
glided out from the
cover of the trees. Kagome would have
sworn he was shaking his head, though the motion was barely discernable.
“We were
wondering when you
would arrive,” Kagome said as the Demon Lord approached them.
“This
Sesshomaru sees that some
things have not changed. Are you ready
to begin your lessons?”
InuYasha
chuckled. “Not without
any clothes on. Besides, I promised
Kagome’s mother I would have her back in time for dinner.
We’ll have to head back shortly. We
told the others we were going home but came
out here instead. How did you know
where to find us?”
“This
Sesshomaru went first to the well and discovered the kit
there. He pointed the direction you
were traveling which he tracked until he lost your scent.
Unlike him, the Sesshomaru was not bound to
the forest floor to follow you.”
“So the runt
tried to follow us.
I’m glad I was in too much of a hurry to stay on the ground,” the
hanyou
commented. “Almost no one knows of this hot spring.
I would kind of like to keep it that way.”
“This
Sesshomaru has no need to
share the information.”
“Um, Lord
Sesshomaru? I’m starting to prune. Would you mind turning around while I get
out and get dressed?” Kagome asked.
“Hn.” The
Demon Lord responded
as he turned his back to the couple.
Sesshomaru
remained facing away
as he heard both of them splash out of the water and then pull on their
clothes. Once they had cleared the
water, he could tell that the miko was once again full of his brother. At least they had washed the smell of sweat
away even if that of sex remained.
“Alright,
we’d better head
back. Mama will have supper waiting on
us,” Kagome stated.
InuYasha
pulled his mate on to
his back and took off at an easy run, though he decided to jump up and
go
through the treetops again so that Shippou wouldn’t be able to back
track them
if he had a mind to. Jumping down about
where he had left the ground originally, the hanyou arrived at the well
to
discover that Shippou was still there.
“Oi, runt,
what are you doing
out here?” InuYasha questioned the kitsune.
“What do you
mean? What are you doing here? You were supposed to go home with Kagome,”
Shippou stated.
“Shippou, we
needed some time to
be together, that’s all,” Kagome said gently.
One glare
from the Taiyoukai
that had landed next to his brother effectively silenced the kit.
“Half-breed,
you still have not
answered my question. Will you be ready
to start tomorrow? You should be well
rested before we begin.”
“Um…we
promised my mother we
would help her tomorrow and the next day.
We were planning to come back the day after,”
Kagome said nervously.
“Yeah! After the new moon when InuYasha turns
mortal!” Shippou spouted
before clamping his hands over his mouth when he realized what he had
said. And then he ran for Kaede’s hut
as fast as his legs would carry him.
Sesshomaru
just cocked an
eyebrow in response and looked at his brother.
InuYasha
sighed in defeat. “Yeah, it’s true.”
“This
Sesshomaru already knows,
Little Brother.”
“Huh?”
“He probably
figured it out
because your youkai is at its strongest the night of the full moon,”
Kagome
commented softly.
“No. This Sesshomaru knew before then.”
“When?”
InuYasha asked.
“Do you
remember when your sword
was broken and had to be repaired?” Sesshomaru questioned.
“How could I
ever forget that?”
InuYasha stated.
“You were
mortal as you waited
for Totosai to return with your sword.
This Sesshomaru was in the area looking for Kaijinbou to
retrieve
Tokijin from him. This Sesshomaru was
surprised
to see you in the open in your mortal form.
You even tried to take on Kaijinbou when he attacked, possessed
by the
sword he had forged on my commission.
This Sesshomaru saw no need to interfere.”
“You could
have killed him
easily as a mortal,” Kagome whispered.
“This
Sesshomaru told you once
before, it would be pointless to kill him when he is not himself. In his bloodlust, InuYasha did not recognize
friend or foe. As a mortal, he was not
a worthy opponent, even if he was still foolish enough to try and fight. Also, this Sesshomaru wanted to test a
theory regarding the change in the scent of his blood, and the
half-breed would
be required to be alive in order to do that.”
“Well, since
you know, you can
understand why we will return in three days.
It’s safer in my time, plus I have plans for that night,” Kagome
said
with a wink towards her mate.
InuYasha
blushed. “Keh.”
“This
Sesshomaru will be
waiting.”
