Chapter Seven: The Results of Impaired Judgment

Kagome woke, blearily, to the feeling of being kissed.

She opened her eyes, and Fuji sat back with a smile, uncaring of her nudity - looking very comfortable, in fact, on Sesshoumaru's fluffy pelt. "Good morning, Sunshine," she said quietly. "The guys are still asleep."

"Huh?" Kagome started to sit up and realized that she, too, was naked. "What happened?"

"You got drunk. So did they."

At Fuji's second reference to a `they', Kagome looked around. There, on one side of her was Sesshoumaru - Fuji was resting against his stomach, although he was underneath the covers, like she was. On her other side was Inuyasha, half under the covers, as if he was a restless sleeper.

"What about you?"

"I don't drink."

"I thought I didn't either."

Fuji chuckled. "Let me put it this way: my parents are rather old-fashioned, somewhat European in style. The idea of having more than a glass with food, or any without, makes me uncomfortable almost to the point of nausea. The same goes with courtesy outside of the college setting."

"Alright. What about Kikyo?"

"She'll make him sweat a bit but forgive him," she said, nodding at Inuyasha. "This kind of thing happens. It's understandable."

"Oh." Kagome stared at the pelt. If she and Fuji were naked, then probably Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were too, and that might mean… "What happened?" she asked again.

Fuji reached over and snagged something: holding it up between two fingers, Kagome could see it was a torn condom packet. She flicked it away. "I think we were safe… But we should probably go ahead and take MAPs anyway. And we should all go in and get a check-up done to make sure none of us have STDs."

Kagome stared at the pelt again, fiddling with it. "What if one of us does? What if the pill doesn't work and--"

"Kagome," Fuji said gently, interrupting her.

"Yes?"

"How much do you remember from sex ed?"

Kagome blushed. "I was sick through most of it."

"Alright." Fuji shifted a little against Sesshoumaru, getting comfortable and tugging a mostly clean towel over her lap. Sesshoumaru said something indistinct, but remained asleep. "A MAP is very simple in that it's a hormone pill, just like regular birth control pills. What it does is tell the body that you have failed, again, to get pregnant and that it's time to start over. So your body flushes all the extra blood - that's your period - and the egg, thus rendering the chance of getting pregnant as close to zero as scientifically possible."

"But not zero."

"The only way to be 100% certain of not getting pregnant is abstinence. Obviously, that's out. But both MAPs and regular birth control have a better than 95% certainty. The only thing about them is that they don't do anything against STDs, which is why you should always use a condom as well - and maybe spermicide, but I don't think we have any of that here. You got all that?"

"Yes."

"Now, if one of us has an STD (I'm pretty sure that I didn't, considering my parents don't and I was a virgin before last night) and the rest of us contract it, then it's a powerful lesson to not make the same kind of stupid mistake again. And if we catch it really early, it may be possible to make sure it never manifests, or at least is very minor."

"I see." Kagome looked up, still uncertain. "Was it really a stupid mistake?"

"Having sex or anything like it when your judgment is impaired is always a stupid mistake. I'm included in that, by the way: when things started getting steamy, I was into my third cycle of hyperactivity because I didn't sleep enough a couple nights in a row beforehand. Plus the whole crying thing."

"I don't think I understand that."

"Mmph," Inuyasha said, and rolled into Kagome a little. He did not wake.

"Inuyasha knows about this," Fuji said, chuckling softly again. "When I don't get enough sleep for long periods of time, I get to the point when I stay alert for about ten hours, then get very tired, then hyper - the body's way of keeping awake when you really should be going to sleep - then tired, then hyper, and so on. For even longer periods, like the one that lasted about five months because I was stage manager and apprentice director to a play of about a hundred people, doing 12-20 hours a week besides school, homework, and other extracurricular stuff, I get to the point when I stop just sleeping, and every time I even nap I dream. That makes you even weaker, and I just go through the cycles of tired and hyper without the alertness period. And your immune system goes down the drain. By the end of those five months, I had given up on most of my homework, was sick a lot, and was having stress-induced nosebleeds, but I didn't dare miss school because rehearsals were every day and if you missed then you weren't allowed to participate in the extras."

Kagome started to say something, but closed her mouth when Sesshoumaru snagged her and buried his face in her neck. "Kagome?" he said, sounding startled. Then, much more smugly: "Good morning."

"Good morning," Kagome said.

"It's Sunday, right?"

"Uh huh."

"Good." He seemed as if he were going to try to go back to sleep, but didn't after a moment. "Kagome?"

"Yes?"

"Are you positioned strangely?"

Fuji began shaking with silent laughter.

"No," Kagome said, highly amused. "That would be Fuji."

"What!"

Fuji giggled.

He pulled out of her neck to look up at the other girl, who waved at him impishly, then pointed to Kagome's other side. Sesshoumaru sat up and looked over. He groaned and fell back against the bed when he saw Inuyasha.

"In her words," Kagome said. "We made a really stupid mistake last night."

"You've been awake for a while then?"

Fuji glanced at the clock on the other side of the room. "Only maybe fifteen minutes or so." She grinned suddenly. "Kagome, that is. I've been awake long enough to figure out that tampons used over four years ago don't do anything to prepare you for the real deal."

"Thank you for that wonderful picture," Sesshoumaru said. He covered his eyes with a hand. "How much did we drink?"

"A couple bottles." She squinted in thought. "Um. Two of sake, two of brandy, half a one of vodka, most of one of rum, and then you and Inuyasha got the great idea to pour honey and what was left of some Cointreau all over everyone and then try to lick it off. That was before we moved to the bed, don't worry."

"Cointreau." Sesshoumaru lifted his hand to glare at Fuji before replacing it again with a wince. "Why Cointreau?"

"Because I wouldn't let you touch the Drambuie."

"Gnah." Inuyasha said. He also brought a hand up to cover his face. "What's going on? Why are people in the room?"

"More like why you're in the room, sugar," Fuji said, inanely cheerful. Or was that insanely cheerful? Kagome realized that she had a headache too and decided to imitate Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru in the hopes it would make her feel better. "We were talking about dessert liqueurs and what you were doing last night."

"Fuji? Why are you here?"

"I'm a part of the `we'. Look around, dear."

"My head hurts."

"Deal."

"That's not very nice, Fuji," Kagome put in. "My head hurts too."

"So does mine," Sesshoumaru said.

"Yes, but you put that off until after the realization of the stupid mistake."

Like Sesshoumaru had done, Inuyasha pulled his hand away from his face and leaned up a bit to see the rest of the bed, then fell back with a groan. He rolled and buried his face in the bed.

"And yet again I am trapped," Fuji remarked brightly. "I can't get out without stepping on someone, so I have to stay here and bother everyone."

"Fuji," Sesshoumaru said. "Why are you on top of the covers?"

"Because I got up and streaked down the hall to clean up before I came back and decided to wake Kagome up."

"Rephrasing question: Why are you on top of me?"

"I'm on top of everyone."

^That sounds wrong coming from you,^ Inuyasha muttered.

Fuji chuckled again.

Since the hand over her eyes didn't really work and her arm was starting to get tired, Kagome put it down and looked at Fuji again. "Aren't you supposed to be lesbian?" she asked. "And you didn't get drunk. I can understand the hyperness bit, sort of, but… how did you get involved?"

"Hmm." Fuji put a finger on her lower lip, looking up into the far corner, and smiling. "I was in a good mood because we had been getting very silly in our plans to torture and kill Naraku. None of you remind me of him, by the way, which probably helps. And, like I said, my judgment was pretty impaired, and then there you were, completely naked and kneeling down, with honey and Cointreau all over you, with the guys licking at you and feeling you up, and then you all looked at me and asked why I was sitting on the bed and staring instead of joining in. Have I mentioned I'm a voyeur? I've only had two erotic dreams involving me."

"How do you manage to describe something so erotic in such a matter-of-fact tone?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"I'm just like that." Fuji shrugged. "I'm not at all turned on right now. Of course, some of that may be due to the whole penis to tampon size ratio thing."

"You talk too much." Inuyasha reached over, hauled Fuji to him, and kissed her.

"No offense, Inuyasha," she said, pulling back and reaching for the lacy dress she'd worn the day before to put it on. "But you need to wash out your mouth. It tastes really nasty, like you swallowed cum." The dress on and showing a lot since it was supposed to have a slip but didn't at the moment, she blinked and shifted to look at Sesshoumaru. "That reminds me. Why do you have a dildo, Sesshoumaru?"

"Morgan gave it to me as an insult when we broke up, and I never got up the courage to take it home."

"That works."

"Fuji," Kagome said, a sudden suspicion catching her. "What time is it?"

"Um." Fuji looked at the clock again. "10:00?"

"Good God," Sesshoumaru said and tightened his hold on Kagome, burying his face in her neck again. "Go to sleep."

"But I've already had six hours, and I've been awake too long!"

"Hn."

"Besides, there really isn't room."

"I'm going to wash my mouth out," Inuyasha said. "It really does taste nasty, doesn't it? You can have my place till I get back. But you'll have to get off me first."

Fuji leaned onto Kagome and Inuyasha slid out of the bed and grabbed the mostly clean towel Fuji had been using, then left the room. The redhead stretched and pulled off the dress, tossing it back to the ground before snuggling up to Kagome under the covers. "Scootch, scootch," she said. "I won't want to move by the time he gets back."

Kagome rolled and moved until she wound up sandwiched between Sesshoumaru, whose arms around her settled towards the hip area, and Fuji, whose arms were, by nature of the fact that there was another pair of arms already in existence, somewhat higher up, and whose hands rested at the bottom of her breasts, cupping them lightly. Fuji's own breasts were pressed into the back of her shoulders, and for all that it wasn't something she was used to, it wasn't really uncomfortable either. She could feel Fuji's chin digging lightly into the top of her head, and her hips at the small of her back. No, it wasn't uncomfortable at all. It was kind of pleasant.

"Mph," Fuji said, sounding half-asleep. "Inuyasha aside, and excepting the stupid mistake-ness of it all, it was kind of fun. I'll turn bi if you will."

Sesshoumaru snorted.

Kagome felt the bed shift when Inuyasha came back, but then she was asleep.

I wanted to wait until I got 40 reviews, but a week passed first, so here the new chapter is. At this point it looks like it's going to be a Sess/Kag in the end (13 votes, with the runner-up, Fuji/Kag, at a little more than 4) but that doesn't mean I can't do other pairings as they stumble their way to that point. The above chapter is a case in point. I also have a scene in my head that I could do if I get enough requests for Naraku again.

Frankly, Naraku makes me curious myself. There's the way he acted in Chapter 1, with Kanna, there's the way he acted towards Kagome, and there's the way that Fuji describes them, and they're all different. Does he really go around thinking `bwa-hahaha, what innocent girl shall I defile today?' or does he really like Kagome, or what?

In other words, what I'm saying is: PLEASE keep reviewing and giving me comments and ideas. I may run out of steam pretty quickly otherwise.

Mwa,

S'revan
