Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho or any characters associated with either show. Let's put it this way: If the characters, situations, or storylines are recognizable, then I don't own them. I own the particular plot of this story and a few characters that I will make up later, but that is it. At least, I think it is.

Warning: Lemon. This will be the last warning you will get. From now on you'll just have to find them yourselves. Although this is not a particularly good one, but it is my first so…

Author's Note: I know that I said that I wouldn't update until I finished Kagome's time in the past, but I figured that I could do without this chapter, since I seem to have developed a lazy streak in regards to my writing. Maybe the reviews for this chapter will motivate me enough to write. Not that I'm trying to coerce you into reviewing. You don't have to review if you don't want to.

Chapter Seventeen

Kagome and Shuichi were sitting together in the park on a secluded bench. They were in a part of the park that she had never seen before. The bench was in a clearing surrounded by plant life and flowers of all colors. She had never seen a more beautiful place, even in the Feudal Era. Evidentially, Kagome's mom had packed them a picnic, but for the life of her, Kagome couldn't remember coming here or even getting up that morning. Shuichi was currently feeding her cherries and strawberries. Some of the juice ran down the side of her mouth, and, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, Shuichi leaned over and licked it off. Kagome tilted her head a little so that he was now licking her lips, and from there it turned into a sensual ravishment. His tongue snaked into her mouth and invited hers to join in the fun. Her body took up the invitation, but, while her mind was into it, it was scary because she couldn't seem to take control over her own body. She certainly wasn't telling it to do all these things; she didn't even know how to do some of them! For goodness sake, she had never even been kissed. Well she certainly had now. But she wanted to do things and take a more active part, but her body wouldn't let her. Like now, she wanted to run her hands through his gorgeous hair and see if it was as silky as it looked, but her body wouldn't obey her. Shuichi moved from her lips to nibble on her ear, after taking a teasing nip at the base of her throat, and Kagome felt a particularly strong pulse rush through her body, going straight to the area between her legs. She felt moisture pool there and wanted to grind against him. Somehow she had ended up in his lap, facing him, with her legs around him. Then her clothes and his somehow disappeared and he was sliding inside her. God, he was thick. And long. And good. She was going to kill her friends in the present! They had told her that it hurt the first time, but all she felt was a burning pleasure that threatened to consume her. Finally, she felt her hands run through his hair and lock at the base of his neck, pulling his head to her breast. He took the pearly globe in his mouth and sucked. She felt her inner muscles pull him even deeper into her. They both groaned and Shuichi seemed to snap. He started pounding into her, in and out, faster and faster. Kagome felt something building inside her, threatening to burst out. She wasn't sure that she could survive it if it did, the pressure and tenseness inside her body were so intense, so she fought it until she couldn't fight anymore and let go.

“Kurama!” She wasn't sure why she yelled that name, she didn't even know anyone by that name, but she had no control over it. Pleasure coursed threw her body from the source of her pleasure to the tips of her hair and toes. Although her body and her mind seemed to be in complete agreement in their activities now, they were not totally in sync. But he didn't seem to have a problem with it. At least, not that she could see before she bolted upright in her bed with Kurama's name still on her lips and the vague echo of hers in her ears.

What a dream.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Kurama bolted upright in a similar fashion in his apartment a few miles away. What a dream. It felt so real. He shifted a little in his bed and found that the sheets had been soiled while he was dreaming. He was just happy that he lived alone now and didn't have to try to explain them to his mother. He sighed and got up to change the sheets and take a shower. A cold shower.

I hope you liked my gift to you.

Youko! I should have known that you were behind this. How am I going to look her in the eye after that?!

Hey, Red, don't put the blame entirely on me. You started that fantasy. I just made it more interesting. You didn't have the experience to know what you were missing with your chaste, while admittedly erotic, dream. Now you do, but don't expect me to stay out of the fun all the time.

Kurama shivered. At least this was just in a dream and not in real life. Maybe if he allowed Youko a little freedom in dreamland, he would behave himself around Kagome. Better to open up negotiations so there are no chances of Youko bursting out and scaring the poor girl.

Youko growled. I know not to come out in public. The girl has no idea about youkai and would be scared out of her mind the minute she saw my ears and tail. Although why anyone wouldn't love them I have no idea. Plus the girl isn't attracted to us. He mumbled the last.

What?

Youko growled again, angry at having to explain something that was paining to him. The girl isn't attracted to us. Normally when we walk into a room and girls catch sight of us, the smell of their arousal hits me in the face. But with this girl, nothing! The only thing that I smelled on her was her shampoo and body wash.

Kurama was disappointed but not entirely surprised. Kagome hadn't seemed to be all that impressed with him at the beginning. She was much friendlier towards the end of their study session. She was probably just glad to be rid of him.

Hey, I don't think it was that bad! Maybe it's just that she isn't one of those shallow bitches that go to your school. Or maybe she's a lesbian! Youko brightened at the thought. Maybe we can convince her to invite us to a little party.

YOUKO! Must I remind you that Kagome has been sick for most of her time in high school? She probably just hasn't had time to get a boyfriend.

Maybe we can fix that.

Kurama wished that he could. But there was the little matter of the trip to Makai. Especially given who had called him there. Kurama had no idea if he would be able to come back alive. What business did he have trying to get a girlfriend at a time like this? It was probably a good thing that she wasn't attracted to him, this way he wasn't tempted. Well not much. Okay it didn't make much difference, but it made not asking her out easier.

You are no fun.

I know.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The next day, Kurama went to pick Kagome up as agreed. They would be going to his special place to study. The one from the dream. He just hoped that he could keep his mind on studying. And that she would wear something to cover up those gorgeous legs of hers.

I repeat: You are no fun.

I'm going to have enough of a problem with my concentration just sitting next to her. And you are no help with all the fantasies that you cook up! My reputation as the cool, calm, and collected smart one in the group is going to go flying out the window if you don't stop trying to make me lose my control.

Silence. Then-

A pulse of desire shot straight to Kurama's groin. YOUKO!

Laughter and then Youko withdrew to the back of their mind. He just had to leave Kurama with a parting shot. He didn't relish the pain of unfulfilled arousal anymore than Kurama did, so he would back off, but maybe he would take care of their problem later, himself. It wouldn't be as good as acting out his fantasies with Kagome, but it would provide temporary relief. Or they could just have another delicious dream tonight.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When Kagome opened the door and joined Shuichi on their walk to the park, all she could think about was the lunch basket that her mother had shoved into her hands as she was going out the door. She hoped that there were no cherries or strawberries in the basket. But, more than likely, there were because her mother knew that they were her favorite fruits. But there were probably some sort of sandwiches in there too. She would just have to avoid the fruit. There was no way she could eat them in front of Kurama…no, Shuichi. Not after that dream last night.

They entered the park not far from Kurama's apartment and made their way to Kurama's special spot. He knew that coming here was only going to make it worse but he wanted to show her his sanctuary. Not even Hiei had ever been here.

Kagome gasped when she saw the clearing in the middle of the park, the most secluded part. It was the very image of the clearing in her dream, including the bench, except now it had a back on it. She resigned herself to not getting anything done today. There was no way that she could think in this place…at least, not about anything school related. “This is a beautiful place K-Shuichi.” Luckily, he didn't notice her slip, too caught up in his own inner battle with his body. “Do you come here often?”

“All the time. Whenever I need a quiet place to think. No one ever comes here so we shouldn't be bothered. Do you want to sit on the bench or on the tablecloth that your mother packed?”

Kagome was relieved that they wouldn't have to sit on the bench. One less thing to remind her of how close he was. “It would be easier to study on the ground. Should we get started or eat first?” Please say study.

“Let's get started now, then we can take a break later.” They studied for about two hours, each trying to put their hunger on hold, and not just for food. Surprisingly, Kagome's English was somewhat improved. It was probably the way Shuichi's voice seemed to caress the words as he spoke them. She concentrated so hard on his voice that it was hard not to learn something. But not even he could make math sound sexy.

Finally, Kagome's stomach growled, putting an end to the lesson. “You should have told me to stop. It wasn't my intention to starve you.”

“I didn't realize how hungry I was.” Kagome lied. She stared at the basket with dread before pulling it to her and looking inside. Sure enough, there were strawberries, cherries, sandwiches, and…bananas. Thank you Mom! Now she could eat some kind of fruit without being reminded of her dream.

Kurama groaned silently when he saw the selection, especially when Kagome immediately claimed a banana and started to eat it. He knew what he was going to be dreaming about tonight. Better get out an extra pair of sheets.

We are lusting after an incredibly dense person.

She's not dense, she's…dense. Kurama tried to defend Kagome with a sigh. Either that or too innocent to know what she's doing.

No one is that innocent in this day and age.

He did have a point.

Kurama was extremely relieved when she polished off the banana and began to work on her sandwich, avoiding the strawberries and cherries. She probably didn't like them, which was odd considering that her mother packed the lunch. Well, if she didn't want any, he would eat them. He much preferred fruit to peanut butter and jelly sandwiches any day.

Kagome desperately tried not to look at Kur-Kurama. She gave up trying to stop calling him that name in her mind, anyway. Let's see. Distraction! She could always tell him that she was calling him that after the legendary thief, Youko Kurama, who Shippo had told her about. Her grandfather even had some stories about him, not that she really believed them. But why would she say that she was calling Kurama by that name? That she had heard that the fox youkai had been beautiful and since Kurama was also a fox…sort of, at least if what her senses were telling her were accurate…and also beautiful, she had decided to call him that? That he stole her concentration? None of those were any good. Then he would know how much he was getting to her. Stupid dream. Stupid incredibly silky, beautiful hair and gorgeous green eyes filling with desire and flashing gold as he lowered her…STOP! She was a pure priestess dammit! She wasn't supposed to be thinking about THAT! Some juice trickled down Kurama's chin and Kagome reached her breaking point.

She put on a big smile and tried to hide the fact that all she wanted to do was shove him on his back and kiss him senseless. “I think that that is enough for the day. No need to walk me home, I'll just gather up the stuff and leave you to your solitude. No, don't get up! Finish your lunch. You can bring the stuff when you come over tomorrow. Thank you for taking the time to tutor me. Bye!” She wasted no time in high tailing it out of there, not wanting to make a complete fool of herself by trying to act out her dream.

Kurama stared after her, wondering at what had gotten into her.

Maybe we're finally getting to her.

Did you smell anything?

Damn.

Kurama sighed. He packed up the stuff and headed home, not having much of an appetite anymore. Maybe he would go and see Keiko and get her take on this situation…No. Keiko was almost as innocent as Kagome and would probably not understand his desires, nor would he feel comfortable discussing them with her. Maybe Genkai or Shizuru. Shizuru probably would be the best bet. She wouldn't make too big a deal out of this.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

“You're actual interested in a girl and she doesn't seem to be interested in you? Is she dead? Or just stupid?” Shizuru took a deep drag of her cigarette. “I'm a little surprised though. I thought that maybe you were gay.”

Kurama had to close his eyes and count to ten at that last comment. Shizuru sure knew how to build you up, only to shoot you down lower than you had been before you came to her for advice. “I am not, nor have I ever been, gay. I'm selective.”

“Well excuse a girl for wondering.” Shizuru blew a smoke ring. “Be glad Kazuma isn't here. He would never let you live this down. As for the girl…” She shrugged. “If you really like her, you should ask her out.”

“I wish I could. But is it fair to her to start a relationship with her when I may not be coming back from Makai?”

Shizuru frowned. “What do you mean? Do you think that someone would prevent you from coming back?”

Kurama shook his head. “There is always the chance when entering Makai of someone managing to kill me. And Yomi and I didn't part on the best of terms. I'm not sure how much he knows about the circumstances of what happened a thousand years ago, but there is a chance that he will want revenge.”

Shizuru leaned back in her chair. “And I suppose that you aren't going to tell me what those circumstances were?”

“I'm ashamed of some of my actions in my former life. Yomi is one of those things that I am ashamed of. I could have dealt with him differently and things could have had a vastly different outcome. I did the easy and smart thing at the time, but there were better ways that I could have handled it.”

Shizuru smiled. “I guess that means no.” She stood. “Kurama, you should tell her that you like her. Maybe not now, but when you come back. Maybe you would have gotten to know her better by then and she would have gotten to know you. I'm sure that she will like you just as much as you like her if you open up to her.”

Kurama stood too. “I thank you for your advice on this matter. I will consider it.” He turned to leave.

“Kurama.” He turned back around. Shizuru hugged him. “If I don't see you before you leave, good luck. Call me as soon as you get back to fill me in.”

Kurama and once again turned to leave. He left the apartment and went to his own. He had some decisions to make.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Does this seem a little rushed or forced to you? I'm not the best judge of my own work. I can think of a scene in my mind and see it, but when I go to write it down, I can't remember exactly the way that I put things that made them sound so good in the first place. I hope that this doesn't sound as bad as I think it does to other people. I see now why they say writers are so insecure and needy. I certainly feel that way.

I don't think that I am all that good at lemons. I will try to get better, but I can't promise anything. I'm afraid my experience in that area is limited to what I have read in books and listening to my friends talk. Although if you knew my friends…
