Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho or any characters or plotlines 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 the few characters that I made up and will make up, but that is it. At least, I think it is.
WARNING: Not quite a lemon, but there is some definitely citrusy material towards the end of this chapter. Could someone tell me what a lime is? This could be one, but I'm not entirely sure what that entails so I can't be sure.

Chapter Twenty-Four
Sesshomaru's predictions of the side effects of the ceremony were pretty much accurate with the exception of Inuyasha. Sesshomaru had only guessed about the effects of Kagome's miko blood. He didn't think about what effect his own blood would have. When he had formally acknowledged Inuyasha and shared his blood with him, he had given him more than just acceptance. Inuyasha gained some of Sesshomaru's abilities as well. He was afraid that trying to turn into his youkai form would unleash his still hard to control youkai blood, but he could use poisoned claws, which made his Sankon Tesso more effective, and could form a red whip much like Sesshomaru's. He planned to try to transform after Kagome made her wish so that he wasn't a danger to anyone.
Sesshomaru was the one that was the least effected. Kagome had given him a little jab with her wooden sword with a small amount of miko power in it and he wasn't bothered even slightly by it. He didn't feel anything but the blow. So it seemed that he had been correct in his prediction about being immune to purification. She tried it on Inuyasha too and it seemed to work because all Inuyasha did was chase her around for poking him. He later said that he didn't feel anything other than the jab. He hadn't noticed anything else.
The others didn't seem to have any side effects other than the crescent mark on their foreheads, which they could hide whenever they wanted to. When Sango got around to asking Kagome why she had done what she did during the ceremony, Kagome couldn't give her an answer. Something had just told her to. Her legs must have moved on their own. She hadn't even been aware that she had moved.
Kagome's youkai blood now enabled her to control her youkai senses. It also seemed to improve her agility and speed. She was now almost as fast as Sesshomaru. Her new abilities seemed to give her just the advantage she needed in her training. She could now last throughout her training sessions with Sesshomaru without getting killed or beaten. She had even beaten Sesshomaru once! She was really proud of that. She started training with Lord Hakurama in order to get practice fighting different types of youkai. He dealt mainly with illusions and had some control over plants. He taught her how to see through illusions and to always be aware of her surroundings (in addition to giving her some pointers on raising a mischievous youkai kit). Even the smallest plant could be used to trap her if she wasn't on her guard; its vines coming up to wrap around her ankles, trapping her. He also showed her a death tree, which she was surprised to recognize as the little tree in her garden disguised as a normal bush. She told him about it and he was amazed. Apparently death trees didn't like anyone. The only explanation that he could think of was a cross species that she had in her country that hadn't made it's way there yet.
Other youkai lords stayed as well, hoping to see why Sesshomaru chose to take these humans into his family. Several of them volunteered to help with her training and to teach her a few things. They soon saw what everyone else saw if they spent any amount of time around Kagome. She viewed you as an individual and didn't condemn you for what had happened in your past. She was quite unusual. Mikos are sworn to kill all youkai, any time they cross paths. She won over some of the most cold-hearted and ruthless youkai in the world and she did it with almost no effort. A youkai could have teeth and claws a foot long and she would still yell at you if you made a rude comment. It didn't matter to her. You piss her off and she's going to tell you about it. Most of these youkai lords had never had that happen to them before.
Soon it was time for her trip back home. She woke up early that morning feeling kind of unusual. She was strangely aware of the silky material of her sheets gliding across her skin. She almost didn't want to get out of bed. She had trouble figuring out what she wanted to wear as she stood before her wardrobe and ran her hands against the fabric of her many kimonos and miko clothing. Well, she knew what she wanted to wear. But she knew that she had to wear her normal miko clothing. A formal silk kimono would be kinda hard to explain when she was showing up in the middle of the day after traveling home. She said her goodbyes to the youkai lords still in residence, most would be leaving before she got back. Before she jumped through the well she made sure her crescent moon was hidden. Didn't want to have to answer questions about where that came from. She would tell her family, but there was no telling who else could be at the shrine.

Kurama made his way up the steps of the Higurashi Shrine. He didn't know why he was already here even though he knew that Kagome probably wouldn't be back yet. Maybe it was because it was so peaceful here. It was the only place that he felt calm, no longer at war with his self. The Goshinboku was amazingly soothing to both his and Youko's souls. It was too old for words; not even he could communicate with it. He imagined that it was here long before humans evolved into their current form, even though he knew that was impossible.
He finally made it to the top of the steps and looked around. No one seemed to be home, but Mrs. Higurashi was probably in the kitchen. He stopped by the Goshinboku to take in its calming presence for a moment and let the wind whip his hair around him. He closed his eyes and could almost feel the tree whispering to him. So engrossed was he that he didn't see the muted blue light from the wellhouse.
Kagome peeked from the door of the wellhouse, momentarily forgeting her new senses. Seeing no one, she opened the door to go to the main house but almost immediately saw Kurama. Immediately her blood started rushing through her veins and she felt heated. Liquid pooled and she felt a pang in her stomack area. What's going on? I feel like I will die if I don't go jump him right now. I have to get away from him! She rushed to the door as fast as she could and made it without attracting Kurama's attention. She was so fast that her mother only felt a sudden wind as she passed. Mrs. Higurashi turned to look at the door and saw that it was open and wondered how that had happened. She heard a door slam upstairs and knew that Kagome must be home. Sota was spending the night with a friend. I wonder why Kagome went to her room without saying hello. She shrugged, figuring that Kagome must have had to use the bathroom. But she could have at least told her mother hello.
Kagome was up in her room wondering what was happening to her. She hadn't felt this fevered even in her dreams. Even the rub of her clothes was starting to bother her. She really wanted to be naked now, but first she had to get rid of Kurama.
Kagome heard him knock on the door to the kitchen. Her mother greeted him and she knew that she had to keep him downstairs. She immediately went to confront him.
Kurama was surprised to find out that Kagome was, in fact, home. He hadn't expected her this soon.
“Hi, Mom. Hi, Kurama.” Kagome walked into the kitchen and had to fight the sensations again. If it hadn't been for all that training in control from Sesshomaru, she was sure that she wouldn't have been able to act even halfway normal.
Kurama looked at Kagome and blushed at the way that she was looking at him, but then he blinked and the look was gone, leaving him to wonder if he had imagined it. He felt himself becoming aroused which seemed to be a permanent condition when he was around Kagome.
Kagome opened her mouth to tell him that she really didn't feel like studying today, but then she had a revelation. She looked at him sharply and discreatly sniffed the air again and had to grab the counter for support.
Her mother rushed over to her. “Kagome are you alright? Are you hurt? What happened? Wha-”
Kagome interrupted her. “Mom, I'm fine. I just lost my balance for a moment.”
Mrs. Higurashi looked at her daughter, trying to see if she was lieing. She seemed to be fine with no visible injuries, but with Kagome you could never tell. She left her alone when she saw no pain in her eyes, only slight surprise.
Kurama was still concerned considering her health. “Kagome, if you do not feel well, we can postpone the study session until you feel better. You can't afford to risk your health.”
Kagome started to say that that was a good idea but paused, still surprised. He desired her. She could smell it as soon as he saw her. He didn't have this scent on him before so it had to be because of her. So why hadn't he at least asked her out? Had she given him any encouragement? She thought for a moment. No, she hadn't because she hadn't thought that he was interested in her so she decided not to push. Maybe the Inuyasha situation had affected her confidence more than she had realized. Should she take a chance on Kurama? She felt the strangely heightened desire flow through her with even greater force. Evidentially her body was going to make her decision for her.
“No, I'm fine. Let's just go up to my room and get started.” Kagome did her best to sound normal, but was afraid that her voice came out more seductively than she had intended in front of her mother.
Mrs. Higurashi took off her apron and got her purse. “If you kids don't mind, I have to go to the grocery store and pick up a few things. I should be back in an hour or two. If you get hungry, there should be some snacks in the cabinets.” She waved goodbye and left.
Kagome whispered a silent thanks to God. She didn't really want to attempt to seduce Kurama with her mother downstairs. It would have been awkward.
Kurama's eyes were playing tricks on him again. Kagome's eyes seemed to be glowing and she had that look in her eyes again before she turned to go upstairs. It had to be his imagination. He didn't sense anything from her and she gave no indication of being anything other than she appeared. Human eyes did not glow pinkish-red like that.
Kagome and Kurama sat down at her desk, with Kagome in the seat closest to the door, unconciously cutting off his means of escape. She could feel her instincts begin to take over and her body seemed to be doing things that she wasn't telling it to do. She hadn't the slightest idea how to go about seducing someone. But it seemed to be instinctive. Kurama started his lesson at where they had left off last time and Kagome took advantage of every opportunity that presented itself. She sat closer to him than she normally did and breathed in his scent deeply. She wanted to just sink into him, but she didn't want to be that obvious. She touched him whenever possible and leaned against him so that her breasts were touching his arm, trying to make it seem like she wasn't even aware of what she was doing. She almost moaned when she smelled the answering spike in his arousal every time she touched him. Why didn't he make a move? She wasn't sure that she could take much more of this. Kami, this guy was dense! She decided to take a more direct approach and rested her hand on his thigh; she was getting despirate.
Kurama couldn't take it anymore. It was almost as if Kagome was trying to seduce him. But that couldn't be right because he still couldn't smell her arousal. Youko was screaming inside his head to just take her. He was past the point of reason and morals. Kurama had reached his breaking point too. One more touch and he was sure that he would go over the edge. He got up. “I'm sorry, Kagome. I have just remembered an urgent appointment that I must go to. I will be back early tomorrow to finish the lesson. Maybe then we could study in the kitchen or the living room? We would have more room to spread out in there. Or we could even go to the library!” So that I won't have a chance to jump you.
Kagome wanted to scream. What was it with this guy? Did she have to have a neon sign flashing above her head to get him to take action? That's it! I'm going to jump him before he gets out the door.
Kagome stood up too. Kurama made to go around her, but her hand accidentilly brushed against his front, unfortunately right across the source of his discomfort. Kurama let out a low hiss and snapped. He grabbed her wrists and backed her against the wall a little more roughly than he intended. He lifted her up and her legs went around his waist. And then came the kiss.
Yessssss! Kagome's inner voice (Kikyou) hissed in her mind. Kagome kissed him back with equal fervor. Then Kurama ground his hips, rubbing the source of their respective desires together. He kept on moving, harder and faster. It was all Kagome could do just to hold on for the ride of her life. It was soooooo much better than any of her previous dreams! The feelings were more intense and her senses could soak in every part of the experience. Kurama's lips moved to her neck and sucked. He barely refrained from sinking his teeth into the tender flesh of her neck, insuring that no other would dare trespass on what he considered his. Kurama's eyes had a red glow in them and they were both so wrapped up in the intense sensations that they didn't notice that both of their eyes had that same glow in them that seemed to get brighter with each stroke of Kurama's hips.
Kurama's teeth grazed Kagome's ear and she exploded while at the same time she wrapped her hands in Kurama's long hair, right where his ears would be if he was in his youkai form. He joined her in ecstasy and his head sank to rest between her breasts.
Once the spasms had ended, Kurama slowly lifted his head to look up into Kagome's eyes. She looked dazed and slightly confused. What had he done? Was he going crazy? Were his youkai senses failing him? Nothing made sense. She had seemed to want him earlier, but she still didn't smell as she should have after what they had been doing. He could have sworn that she had felt the same pleasure he did. Could his mind have been playing tricks on him and made him only think that she returned his feelings? Was Youko trying to manipulate him somehow? He didn't know the answers to any of these questions but he knew that Kagome deserved better than what he had just put her through.
Kagome was wondering what had gotten into her. She didn't act like this. Sure it was nice for a change to just throw caution to the wind and do what her body wanted, but this was a little extreme. They hadn't even been on a real date as a couple. Sure they had gone out as friends, but they hadn't said how they feel about each other. She wasn't even sure what she felt for him. She just knew that she had never felt this way about anyone before.
Kurama slowly rose, unpinning Kagome from against the wall as he did. His bangs shielded his eyes from her so she didn't have a clue what he might be thinking. “I am sorry for my lack of control, Kagome. I think that it would be best if I didn't continue tutoring you. I'm going to be leaving the country for an indefinite amount of time next month so this would have been the last week anyway.” He turned his back on her and left, pausing at the door where he seemed to sniff the air one more time before leaving.
Kagome sniffed experimentally and was hit with the scent of what they had been doing. But she suddenly realized that something was missing. Kurama couldn't smell her! THAT was why he never made a move on her and why he was so clueless when she was trying to seduce him. Wait, SHE had tried to seduce him! What was happening to her? She felt the earlier sensations build up the longer she stayed in the room. It smelled so strongly of Kurama that she wanted to hunt him down and finish what she started. NO! This is not me. I do not act out just any desire that pops into my head! What is wrong with me?
Kagome couldn't take being in her room any longer and she didn't trust herself to stay away from Kurama if she stayed in this era. She quickly wrote her mother a note explaining that she had to go back to the feudal era, but she would be back soon if she could. She then ran as fast as she could and jumped into the well. Once on the other side, she ran all the way to Sesshomaru's without pausing. She jumped the three story distance to her window and locked it. She then ran to the door and locked it as well.
She would not leave her room until she was back to normal.

I have had this scene in my head for a long time. Let me tell you that it was better in my head than it is in the story. I can come up with a really good scene but then I can't figure out how to describe it and put it into words. If I could, I would be a real author, not just writing fanfiction. But the sad fact is that I can't express my thoughts very well. Another reason why I am hating my public speaking class that I am currently being forced to take this semester. And, as always…THANK YOU REVIEWERS!
