Chapter 14: Irresistible Temptations

 

“After trailing Kikyou all the way back to Kaede's village, we found Sango taking out her anger on the forest. We weren't sure why she was so angry but instead of asking her we asked Miroku. He explained that Kikyou came and kidnapped Kohaku.” Shippo finished explaining, watching his mother's facial expressions carefully. She looked ready to kill someone… a miko in particular.

 

“Why?” She asked, unable to think of anything else to say. Her mind was overwhelmed with her anger. Sango just got Kohaku back after trying so hard to release him from Naraku's control and Kikyou appears several years later and takes him from her. Why did Kikyou need Kohaku anyway? And why did the boy seem to be controlled just as when Naraku was using him?

 

“We have no idea, this is the first time we've seen Kikyou since you were thrown back and we began our hunt.” Inuyasha said softly. He remembered how Sango was and Kagome looked almost just as angry. He wasn't surprised by her reaction though. Sango was like a sister to Kagome so he'd bet the miko saw Kohaku as a brother and seeing him under Kikyou's control didn't bide well with her.

 

“It looked like he was being controlled… Kikyou must have used one of her spells on him. I have to save him.” Kagome murmured, trying to calm her anger. After her outburst in the stadium, Shippo quickly carried her back to her suite with everyone following behind. Now that they were back in the suite, Kagome was able to think clearly and realize that she needed to keep her emotions under control. She didn't need her powers going into chaos and harming someone nearby that she cared about. Not to mention she needed to save her energy for her fight against Kikyou. She ruined enough lives and it was about time she was returned to the netherworld. That bitch was long overdue for a good beating.

 

“You concentrate on Kikyou; we'll worry about the others.” Kurama said, slipping his hand into hers and squeezing it slightly in an effort to comfort her.

 

Kouga, Shippo, and Inuyasha glared at the avatar slightly. They'd learned that Kurama and Youko shared that one body and knew the kitsune still possessed feeling for Kagome. He didn't bother hiding his attraction toward her in the past but at least the human counterpart of the kitsune seemed more polite and respectful. They had also smelt the claim that Hiei placed on her. It surprised them at first but then again, the hybrid had seemed closer to her than anyone else in the group.

 

“If Kikyou is killed then won't the spell on Kohaku disappear?” Shippo asked.

 

“Most likely, and she must have placed an aging spell on him as well seeing as he doesn't look a year older than the last time I saw him.” Inuyasha said.

 

“Then it's settled. All I need to do is defeat Kikyou.” Kagome said confidently.

 

“But you can't fight outside of the stadium, we'll be disqualified and we still have a mission to complete.” Kuwabara pointed out.

 

“Alright then I'll just beat her when we face her.” the miko said.

 

“But if you face us before Kikyou, you won't make it to the next round.” Inuyasha said softly.

 

Kagome glared at the hanyou. “Sit! You don't think I can beat you! You better not face against me cause I'll pound you so far into the ground you won't want to come back out to face the humiliation that'll be waiting for you!”

 

Inuyasha growled as he pried himself off the ground and glared at Yusuke and Kuwabara who were laughing at his expense. “Knock that off wench!”

 

“Then stop being such an asshole!” she snapped.

 

“I will once you stop acting like a bitch!”

 

“You better be careful Inuyasha. I have enough control over my power that I can purify your demon blood and make you full human.” she threatened, glaring at him intensely.

 

Inuyasha felt his heart drop out of his chest at her words. Was she truly that powerful now? Not wanting to find out if she was bluffing or not, the hanyou remained silent but pinned her with a glare before stomping out of the room muttering to himself about `baka females and their constant desire to humiliate the opposite sex just for their own cruel enjoyment'. Kagome rolled her eyes at his antics, knowing he was headed toward the forest that surrounded the hotel so he could sulk in a tree.

 

“All these years and he hasn't changed a bit.” Kagome shook her head with a slight smile on her face.

 

“And you still love that irritating mutt just as much as you always did.” Kouga snorted.

 

Kagome allowed her smile to widen as she turned her sparkling blue eyes to wolf prince. “Of course, I love all of you just as you are and I wouldn't want to change a single thing about any of you.”

 

“I would reconsider that statement; your kit's pranks grow irritating far quicker as the years pass. Do kitsune's ever mature?” Kouga whined, referring to the red kitsune that had left just a moment prior to check on their irate hanyou teammate.

 

Kagome glanced toward Kurama with a thoughtful look before snickering and shaking her head. “I'm sorry to inform you Kouga but no, I don't believe kitsunes ever mature.”

 

`Excuse me? I'll show her mature! She'll see just how established we truly are.' Youko argued, smirking slightly at the thought of sharing his maturity with their little miko.

 

`Must every thought that crosses your mind involve something that causes me discomfort?' Kurama questioned, groaning slightly. He didn't want his counterpart fantasizing about the miko he intended to claim as a mate. It was hard enough as it was to keep his hands off her.

 

`Why are you prolonging the inevitable? You should just tackle her down right now and teach her she cannot insult us without a punishment to follow.' Youko purred.

 

`How would it be considered punishment if she would most likely enjoy it?' Kurama questioned, catching the miko glancing toward him once more just as Kouga departed from their suite. `Do you not recall her reaction to seeing us when she was intoxicated?'

 

`How could I forget? It's unfortunate that she's so confident in herself when alcohol fuels her but she's timid and insecure when she is sober.' Youko sighed, remembering how straightforward she had been, practically telling Kurama she wanted to sleep with him that night.

 

`Unfortunate indeed… perhaps we could use that intoxication to our benefit once we've claimed her? It won't be considered as taking advantage of her while she's not completely aware of herself since she will be our mate anyway.' Kurama suggested.

 

Youko smirked, pushing forth just enough to forcefully take control of their hands and pull the little miko closer to them so they could wrap their arms around her waist. He relinquished control back to Kurama when Kagome relaxed her weight back against them with a soft sigh. `I'm curious of how… energetic she is in bed.'

 

`Sober or intoxicated?'

 

`Both… though I suspect she is far more adventurous when she is under the influence.'

 

`No doubt, but she smells pure. She may not have had any prior experiences.' Kurama pointed out.

 

Youko chuckled, `There is no need to worry about her abilities, I caught her reading several of those Cosmopolitan magazines in the past. I never understood what they were until we discovered them in this time. She would always keep them well hidden… Now I realized the reason behind her secrecy.'

 

`She reads those?!'

 

`Oh indeed, so she must have several tricks up her sleeve, even if she hasn't had time to practice what she's read.' Youko smirked in anticipation. `She can experiment on us as much as her little heart desires.'

 

`Could you think a little quieter? I don't enjoy listening to you converse with yourself on the different methods of deflowering a miko.' Hiei growled.

 

`Jealous that we'll have her before you?' Youko mocked.

 

`What makes you think you'll claim her before me? Or Yusuke for that matter?' Hiei questioned, a brow kicking up in curiosity as his gaze lingered toward the miko who had long ago left the comfort of Kurama's embrace to sit on the couch with Yusuke and Kuwabara. She was sitting sideways on the couch, her back resting against Kuwabara's shoulder and her legs draped over Yusuke's lap. The detective was brushing his fingers across her smooth bare legs, causing her to smile as his fingers softly worked blood through the muscles.

 

Youko snorted. `That's nothing. You two haven't even kissed her yet. You don't know what you're missing… she tastes exquisite…'

 

`I may not have experienced that just yet but I am the first to place a claim on her.' Hiei smirked, inhaling deeply so he could smell Kagome's scent mixed with his.

 

`We called dibs!' Youko argued, running out of reasons for him to have her first. He had yet to place his claim on her and he blamed that completely on Kurama.

 

`How is this my fault? You and Hiei knew her hundreds of years ago and had plenty of time to get close to her. I'm not going to just jump the gun and tell her that since you and I share a body, we share her as well, no matter what she has to say about it.' Kurama retorted, irritated.

 

`Why not?' Youko questioned.

 

`Because this is her choice. If she doesn't like me as she does you then it will be difficult for you and her to have a relationship.'

 

`But she does like you as she does Youko.' Hiei stated.

 

`I'm aware of that now but I needed some time to get to know her first. I didn't want to rush her ok?' Kurama growled, glaring at Hiei since he was the only physical person he could glare at. It would be odd to attempt to glare at yourself…

 

`Well if you plan to beat me to her, then I suggest you hurry because it'll only be a matter of time before Yusuke places his mark as well.' Hiei said, nodding toward the three on the couch. Kurama glared at Yusuke, who seemed to have pulled Kagome into his lap for the movie Kuwabara had put on. His arms were wrapped around her waist loosely and all three of the demons watching felt their irritation increase when the miko snuggled closer to Yusuke.

 

`There is no need for concern. I will be in control tomorrow and the vixen will be ours.' Youko snorted, giving the impression of sticking his nose in the air and crossing his arms over his chest.

 

Hiei turned his gaze to the avatar and quirked a brow. `And you are allowing this?'

 

`I don't have a choice, I lost a bet to him and these are his terms. I just pray he won't get us into too much trouble…' Kurama sighed.

 

“Will you three stop having your mental conversations and join us? You guys look way too stressed right now.” Kagome's voice drifted to them and both demons turned their gazes to the miko that was staring at them expectantly. Kurama smiled and took the place on the couch that Kagome had been occupying before Yusuke lifted her onto his lap. Grinning, the miko turned so her back was resting against the arm rest and stretched her legs across Kurama's lap while still comfortably seated on Yusuke. Turning her gaze back to Hiei, he merely rolled his eyes and relocated himself to the window sill. Kagome sighed in defeat and turned her attention back to the movie. She couldn't force him to do anything he didn't want to but it would have been nice for him to actually show he cared.

 

`You know very well how much I care. I have given you no reason to think otherwise.' Hiei's voice drifted along her mind and she snorted.

 

`You're only affectionate when we're alone, how do I know you aren't ashamed of claiming me?'

 

Hiei turned a glare to the back of her head, knowing she could sense the intensity of his stare. `Do not be ridiculous onna.'

 

`Fine, be that way.' She snapped, now glaring at the television slightly. `I'm sure Kurama or Yusuke will show me the affection I'm looking for.'

 

Growling slightly, Hiei lifted himself off the window sill and stomped over to the damned miko. Towering over her from the side of the couch that her back was leaning against with an irritated glare, the hybrid gently hooked his fingers under her chin and tilted her head back and pressed his lips against hers firmly before she could utter a word. Kagome's eyes fluttered shut as she returned his kiss, trying to hold back her triumphant smirk. She just loved pissing him off… he was so much sexier and demanding when he was angry.

 

“Aw come on Hiei! Not while she'd sitting on me! This is my time with her man!” Yusuke complained, averting his gaze from the two making out while Kagome was still seated on his thighs.

 

Feeling bad, Kagome broke the kiss and turned an apologetic look toward Yusuke before smiling up at Hiei and returning her attention to the movie they were trying to watch. Snorting, the koorime made his way back to the window sill and returned to staring out the clear glass.

 

`Thank you Hiei... I'll make it up to you.'

 

`Hn.'

 

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~That Night~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

Kagome pulled on a pair of grey sweats and a white sports bra. Yusuke and Kuwabara fell asleep during the movie and were out cold on the couch. Hiei disappeared into his room an hour after the movie started but Kurama remained and kept Kagome company. They talked about the past and school. About Kurama's irritating fan club and the clueless Hojo. They laughed as Kagome described how much her family loved her demon friends and that her mother deeply desired her grandchildren to have cute ears like Inuyasha's. Kagome blushed when Kurama shared with her the comment that Youko had stated concerning children with demonic ears.

 

Once it was completely dark out, Kagome stretched and lifted herself off of Yusuke's lap after carefully unwrapping his arms so she wouldn't wake him up. After smiling toward Kurama, she ventured toward her room to get ready for bed. Just as she was about to turn off the light, there was a soft knock at her door. Opening it, she was slightly surprised to see Kurama standing there in his usual sleep attire; just a pair of sweats. The miko found it hard to pull her gaze away from his perfectly toned chest and arms. She felt heat rise to her cheeks when she realized that Kurama's eyes were roaming her body as well, his eyes shifting from green to gold every so often.

 

`Look at that perfect body… she always had such delicious curves, I'm glad that hasn't changed one bit since I last saw her. And I must say, I appreciate her choice of clothing in this time…' Youko purred, allowing his eyes to drink in every ounce of her exposed skin.

 

`I would have to agree, she seems very comfortable when she wears her sports bras.' Kurama mused, trying not to stare at her faultless breasts that filled the material just right.

 

“Is there something you needed Kurama?” She asked, gaining his attention.

 

“I was wondering if you would mind me sleeping here with you tonight? I'll end up in here by morning anyway…” He murmured the last part, though she still managed to hear him.

 

“You can sleep with me, but why would you end up here in the morning anyway?” She questioned curiously as she pulled the door open wider to allow him in before shutting the light off and making her way to her bed.

 

“Youko will be in complete control all day tomorrow.” Kurama answered, following her and crawling under the blankets once she seemed comfortable.

 

“Really? May I ask why?” Her voice reached his ears and he didn't need to see her face to know she was smirking.

 

“I lost a bet and those were his terms.” Kurama muttered grudgingly. “And I know once he takes over in the morning, he'll be joining you in here so I thought I'd save him the trouble and you the confusion.”

 

Kagome laughed softly as she rolled over to face him and draped her arm over his bare chest. “Well tomorrow should be… eventful then. I'll try to keep him out of trouble alright?”

 

“I'm more worried about you then anyone else.” He grumbled.

 

“Me?”

“It bothers him that Hiei placed his claim on you before him. He says he had his eyes on you long before Hiei even realized he'd fallen for you so therefore that gives him the right to have at you first.” Kurama explained.

 

Kagome snickered as she tried to hold back her blush when Kurama turned on his side and pulled her closer to him. “Well I'll just have to let him have his wicked way with me then.”

 

Kurama turned surprised eyes down to her, his heightened senses allowing him to see the amused expression on her face. “I would be careful; you know how he is Kagome.”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes as an idea began formulating in her mind. “Don't worry, Youko would never hurt me.”

 

“I'm not worried about him harming you; I'm concerned that he may try to move quicker than you are prepared for.” Kurama explained, worry evident in his voice.

 

“Who said I wasn't ready?” She smirked, turning her sparkling blue eyes up to meet his concerned green ones. Kurama couldn't form words, couldn't think of how to respond to her words. He couldn't stop his eyes from traveling down to her lips and realized that he hadn't actually kissed her yet. With that thought in mind, he leaned down and brushed his lips against hers softly, not wanting to push her. He was surprised out of his mind when the little miko pulled herself up and firmly pressed her lips against his.

 

`Well she's in a playful mood tonight… let me out now, it's almost midnight anyway.' Youko pleaded.

 

`No, you always get to have fun with her, this is my turn.' With that said, Kurama tuned out his whining counterpart and returned her kiss, pulling her closer to him until her chest was against his. It took more effort than he thought for him to hold back his groan when Kagome rearranged herself to lie completely on top of him. Tangling his hand in her silky hair, he wrapped his other arm around her and trailed his fingers along the exposed skin of her back. He could feel blood rushing to his lower regions when the miko brushed her hands along his sides, using her abdominal muscles to keep her upper body lifted so she could continue kissing him. The feel of her toned muscles contracting against his stomach only increased his arousal.

 

Brushing his tongue along her lower lip, she allowed him access and smirked slightly when her tongue pushed forward to meet his. Perhaps reading those magazines were serving a good purpose because she was a pretty decent kisser in his opinion. Kagome pressed her hips firmly against his and he had to resist the urge to switch their positions and remove their clothing. So those magazines were more useful than he originally thought. She seemed to know exactly what she was doing and by the slight amusement he could feel in her aura, she knew exactly how her actions were affecting him.

 

Suddenly she broke the kiss and rolled off of him. Confused, he turned his heated gaze to the miko to see her trying not to laugh. Pouting, Kurama tried to calm himself when he realized Kagome probably wasn't going to continue. “You are a cruel little miko.”

 

“I was just proving a point.” She giggled.

 

“And what point would that be?”

 

“That I'm prepared for anything any of you four throw at me.” She grinned, though she wouldn't admit that it took all of her self control to pull herself off of him and discontinue their activities. She knew if she didn't stop, then it would have lasted all night long and would have gotten a lot more intimate.

 

The avatar pouted once more as the miko rolled onto her other side to face her back to him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her flush against him and pressed his still slightly erect member against her backside. “Are you absolutely positive? Because I am prepared whenever you are.”

A/N:

 

Well looks like Kurama's starting to show his sexy side! Maybe spending his entire life with a perverted kitsune has rubbed off on him a little bit… though I wouldn't mind AT ALL if Kurama came barging into my room right now and started seducing me… ohhh if only…
