Chapter 4

To Drink of Desire

 

Things were too quiet that evening. Inuyasha was still in a bad mood over being interrupted, Kagome was embarrassed, and everyone else seemed to be in too much pain to risk making Inuyasha angry again. Miroku had more band-aids then anyone else, so he was going out of his way to be nice. Everyone had taken their usual sleeping positions. Miroku and Inuyasha set with crossed legs at their side of the small hut. On the girls side, Kagome curled up with Shippo in one corner and Sango curled up next to Kirara in the other.

 

Inuyasha sat watching Kagome sleep from his corner of the room. It was going to be another long night for him. He was getting better at controlling himself, but he was still feeling a great deal of frustration. Being interrupted earlier did not make things any better. It was not just the idea of having sex with her, but the idea of being that close to her. She understood him. She wanted to be with him. He could feel comfortable with her. She made him feel like he belonged in this world. He had been treated as an outcast for so long that he didn't know how good it could feel to be a part of someone's life. He was lucky to have her. He was lucky to have them all. He suddenly felt sorry for being so hard on everyone. He really needed to find a place to be alone with Kagome, and the only way he could do that was to get help from his friends. All he wanted was one uninterrupted evening with the woman he loved. If he did not do this soon he was going to go mad!

 

“Go settle in next to her, Inuyasha.” Miroku suggested in a hushed voice.

 

“Huh?” Inuyasha eyes went wide. “What are you saying?”

 

“She is your woman now. We all know it. You have nothing to be embarrassed about,” Miroku noticed that Sango was growing restless. To keep his voice from waking her, he moved in closer to Inuyasha before he continued. “Do you have the control to hold her as you sleep?”

 

He swallowed and returned his gaze to Kagome's motionless body, “I think so.”

 

“Then go to her. Don't worry about it. She will not mind, you will see.”

 

Inuyasha looked into Mirokus's sincere but badly bruised face, “I am sorry I attacked you earlier.” Without waiting for a response, Inuyasha rose and walked over to settle down next to Kagome.

 

“Kagome,” he whispered into her ear. He instantly ducked expecting her to swing her arms or something. She did have a bad habit of hitting him when he caught her off guard.

 

“What?!” She started to move.

 

“Shhh, I came to sleep with you.”

 

“We can't do that now…everyone will see us!”

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, “Stupid, I said sleep!” He moved himself into a better position so he could spoon himself against her body. He put his arm around her waste, just under the body of the sleeping fox boy. “Now get comfortable.”

 

“Are you sure that you can do this?”

 

“Yes, now let me enjoy it.” He snuggled his face against her hair. It was soft and smelled sweet like some kind of fruit. He moved his hand under her shirt and pushed it flat against her stomach.

 

“Inuyasha,” Kagome whispered as Shippo shifted in her arms.

 

“I just want to touch your skin. I'll not do anything else. It's really not that bad is it?” He thought about it for a second then, “Would you feel better if I moved my hand?”

 

She thought about it before answering him. The skin under his hand was tingling. “No, I actually think it feels nice. I just don't want you to get yourself in trouble.”

 

“This is very satisfying…even peaceful.” He wondered if he had chosen the correct word. “Yeah, it is honestly peaceful. I can enjoy your scent and feel your flesh. It might not have been so bad before if I could've done this before now.”

 

“I wonder why touching my skin…” The rest of the question caught in her throat as Inuyasha's hand slid up her body. It stopped just below her bra. He snuggled closer against her. Shippo rolled a few inches away from them. Not having Shippo so close to them did make her feel a little more comfortable. She was trying not to say anything negative to Inuyasha. She wanted to see if he would stop on his own. She also could not help it that she liked the feel of his hand on her body.

 

Besides, she was afraid that discouraging him now might affect his courage in the future. It had taken so long to get to this point, so she was not going to do anything to change this new side of Inuyasha. She closed her eyes and tried to keep him speaking. Hopefully it would be enough of a distraction to keep him in control.

 

“If you could sense when I was excited all this time, why didn't you ever say anything to me about it until now?”

 

“I didn't know if you were thinking about me?” He started moving his thumb slowly back and forth as she continued, “Why didn't you ever tell me that I made you excited.”

 

It was getting difficult for her to speak, “You know what that is doing to me don't you.”

 

“Yes, do you want me to stop it?”

 

Inuyasha's new aggression was going to be the death of her, “You should stop…you are going to loose control of yourself.” She was starting to loose her voice. She could feel him sniffing at her hair, and his hand was kneeding her stomach. She wanted to say something, but her voice was failing her suddenly.

 

“You don't want me to stop. I like that I can do this to you.”

 

He was right. She was enjoying it, but it did not keep her from getting angry with him. “It would figure, you get the reaction you want and you get arrogant.”

 

“I'm sorry,” he stopped moving his hand, but left it on her stomach. He was not trying to maker her angry. He let the disappointment come across in his voice, “I got the impression that you like feeling excited, so I wanted to make you excited. That way I know you are excited because of me, and I could enjoy it too.”

 

“Why would you think that I liked being excited?” She could not deny it, but she wanted to know how he had figured it out.

 

“I did not sleep last night. I know that you were awake most of the night. You were excited, but you didn't try to stop it. You seemed to get more excited as the night went on.”

 

“How could you possibly know that I wasn't trying to fight it? Wait, how could you tell I was getting more excited?” She almost turned over to face him completely, but didn't. She had to stop and remember that Shippo was still sleeping next to her. He was still close enough that the movement could disturb him.

 

Inuyasha really didn't know if he was ready to admit to anything, and he was starting to feel stupid for bringing it up. He sighed and decided that he did owe her an answer. “There have been nights that I could only think about being with you. I noticed that if I make myself think of other things that I can control it. If I give into the fantasies, I only get more excited and wake up annoyed. It can't be that different for you.”

 

Shippo moved father way from Kagome. The movement startled them both. They were silent for a moment as Shippo sat up, “I am going to go over to sleep with Sango…you guys talk too much.”

 

Now they both felt stupid. Kagome could feel the heat in her face. Inuyasha was only silent for a moment, “should I finish answering your question?”

 

“I guess you can. At least we don't have to worry about waking Shippo now.” She wondered if it was a lack of tact or if he really did not get it.

 

“Your scent gets thicker the more you get excited. There's a point that it seems like your body is…calling out to me.” He started needing at her stomach again. He was hoping that she would not stop him this time and let herself enjoy it.

 

She didn't know if she was fine with the thought that he could tell all this by just sniffing the air. It was far to intimate to ignore, and unfair that she could not tell these thing about him.

 

“Then did you enjoy yourself last night?” She had to know.

 

“If I could have been like this, then yes. It also would have helped me to know that you were thinking about me.” He let his hand trace the top of her skirt. She was getting excited again and it helped him relax. It meant that she could forgive him and he hadn't hurt her feelings too badly. “Were you thinking about me?”

 

“You know that I was thinking about you.”

 

“Part of me knew, but part of me needed to her you say it.” He moved his hand up to her bra, “Can I take this off?” His finger darted under the edge of her bra. He gave it a light tug.

 

“No! We are not alone in here, you know.”

 

“They're asleep. I can tell by their breathing.”

 

`This can't be Inuyasha. He is much too sure of himself.' She thought as she turned over on her back. She quickly realized that it might have been a big of a mistake, because Inuyasha's lips were on hers before she could stop him. When he finally pulled away all she could do was pant.

 

“Inuyasha get up.”

 

“What? Why?” He was about to kiss her again, but her words had stopped him.

 

“We need to go outside.”

 

She pushed him away and stood up. He followed her as she led him out into the moon lit opening. She turned to face him and stretched her arms out with her hands flat on his chest to insure some distance.

 

“What is wrong with you? You are not controlling yourself like you promised.”

 

“I guess I'm drunk…on your scent…on something. It's difficult for me to think clearly.” He looked down, “I don't want to force you to do anything, but I do want to tease you. I want you to be excited. It's almost like I need it. It's some sort of power coming from you that I have to have.”

 

He was moving forward. She had not choice but to step back to keep the distance. Her arms were starting to tremble as he tried to move in closer to her. She could feel energy coming from him. It was almost like the energy was seeping into her skin.

 

“Could this be your youkai?”

 

“Maybe,” he whispered as he grabbed her wrists and pulled her forward. “I don't really care what it is. I just know that I have to touch you somehow.”

 

He didn't try to do anything but hold her, but she could feel something in the energy that surrounded them. If it was his youkai, it was letting her know that Inuyasha could change at any moment. Nothing would happen unless she gave him a sign, but it was ready for her to say yes to him.

 

Then something more disturbing occurred to her. Inuyasha had been right. Her body was calling out to him. Something inside her was attracted to the power coming from him. It wanted that power. It made perfect sense to her for a split second, but confusion won out. The discovery had been lost to the confusion inside her mind.

 

“I guess that I don't have to worry about trying to figure out when you're excited. All I will have to do is touch you.” She looked up to see the moon light reflecting in his eyes. She had never notice how his eyes glowed before. It was very beautiful, but definitely not human. “I do want you to touch me, but I think that we should stop this for tonight.” She paused to take a deep breath, “I know that if we keep this up that we will not be able to hold back, and I would like for my first time to be…less messy.” She really hoped that he would get that last part.

 

“You want to wait until you are not in heat?”

 

“That is one way to put it.” Tact really was not something he had, “Yeah, I would like to wait until this is over. It can't be too much longer.”

 

“Can I still sleep beside you tonight?”

 

“Yes, but if you start teasing again you can go back to your side of the hut.”

 

“Can I keep my hand on your tummy?”

 

“I guess so, but no teasing. I mean that.”

 

 

 

Inuyasha awoke to find that he and had been left alone in the hut with Kagome. `Ah, this is nice. Maybe I can spend some time alone with her today. This might be a sign that everyone is going to leave us alone.'

 

Kagome stirred against him causing him to sit up so he could lean over her. He used his nose to trace her ear. She mumbled something and punched him right between the eyes.

 

“Inuyasha?” She could not figure out why he was lying on his back with his hands over his face.

 

“You really need to work on how you wake up!” He groaned.

 

****

 

Sango and Miroku were setting on the steps of the porch. They turned around to see Inuyasha exit the hut with Kagome trailing him.

 

“Good morning, is everything alright?” Sango asked.

 

“Good morning, Sango-Chan. Inuyasha does not like the way I wake up for some reason.”

 

“Judging from the size of that lump on his head, I would feel the same if I were in his place,” Miroku said as he looked at Inuyasha and back to Sango.

 

“I have noticed that there are several herbs growing around here. It might be a good idea to get them while we are here,” Sango said as she rose to her feet.

 

“Ok, where should we start?” Kagome asked cheerfully.

 

“Well, I thought that we could split up. That way we could cover more ground.”

 

“Ok, I will go this way.” Kagome turned around and started walking. She knew what Sango was trying to do.

 

Shippo even got this one, but Inuyasha just stood there until Sango poked at his arm. He looked at her with wide eyes. Sango finally had to push him in Kagome's direction before he was able to catch on.

 

****

The forest was quite and very peaceful. The air was warm, but not too hot. They had reached a small clearing that was covered in plants and sunlight.

 

“I see something over here that might come in handy,” Kagome announced as she pointed to a small green plant and started walking toward it. It was just inside the circle of sunlight to their left. “I think that I am going to walk the circle to check all the plants here.”

 

He watched her move, only moving a few steps into the circle himself. He could not take his eyes off her. He wondered if he should pounce her. `Would it be fair to sneak up behind her and pull her down on top of me? I like it. It sounds fun to me.'

 

He slowly started to walk towards her. He did not realize that she was waiting of him. She figured that if he had woke up the same Inuyasha that he had been the past few day that he might try to surprise her. She only hoped that he could remember they decide to wait to have sex. She did not think that anyone would be around to interrupt them today, since Sango had set this up to start with.

 

Suddenly Inuyasha had her by the arm and spun her around to face him. She heard the Tetsusaiga hit the ground as Inuyasha pulled her down on top of him. His outer kimono was already off and lying next to the sword.

 

“I pounced you,” he snickered as he rolled her over so he could pin her to the ground. He gave her a deep kiss. He had placed his leg between hers and his hand was already moving under her shirt.

 

“Pouncing is nice,” She teased back. Her body was tingling. She had to close her eyes to focus her mind. “Do you remember your promise, Inuyasha?”

 

“I'll wait, but I want to tease you.” He moved down and licked her stomach just to see her jump, “You really are a lot of fun to tease.”

 

****

`Wow, these two have learned to enjoy themselves quicker then I thought they ever would.' Miroku stood on the opposite side of the clearing. He was disguised by the thick brush that was growing between two small trees. `I have never thought to lick a woman's stomach before. It looks like fun.'

 

He jumped as Sango's hand firmly attached itself to his shoulder. “Weren't you going to walk into the village and get us some food?”

 

“Hee, I got confused about were I was.” He scratched his head and gave her the most innocent smile he could manage.

 

“I would say you got confused. Pervert,” her fist collided with his head. “We are supposed to be leaving them alone.”

 

Miroku quickly recovered the blow. He noticed that Sango was actually standing very close to him. “Sango-chan, do you have any feelings for me?”

 

“What? Houhi-sama…I don't know what you are talking about,” She replied, trying to avoid his eyes by looking in any direction but up.

 

“Sango,” he used her name very intimately. He placed on his arms around her waste before she could run away, “Call me by my name. I think that we have known each other long enough to stop being so formal.” He turned his head to look at Inuyasha and Kagome, “Look at them Sango, don't you ever wish that you could be with someone the way they are now?”

 

She looked up to see Inuyasha and Kagome both without there upper garments. Inuyasha was still kissing at Kagome's stomach. She blushed all the more and turnd away.

 

“Do you have feelings for me, Sango?”

 

“Why do you want to know? What reasons do you have to ask me that?” She was getting agitated.

 

“I told Inuyasha to stop wasting time. I told him to enjoy whatever time he has with the woman he loves. I have such little time left myself.” He took a long look at her before continuing. His voice was low and soft, “I was just thinking that I should take my own words to heart.”

 

She looked up at him. She was not sure what to say or do. All she could do was stare into his face. She hoped that there would be something there to tell her if he was telling the truth and not just leading her on. She started to wiggle nervously to break free from his arms, causing her to fall. Miroku caught her, but the noise traveled to Inuyasha's ears.

 

****

 

Inuyasha stopped what he was doing and without moving warned, “We are being watched don't move.”

 

Kagome did not move as Inuyasha covered her with the clothes he had taken off. He sniffed at the air, “Hey, Miroku…if you leave now, I will fogive you both for watching us.”

 

“You mean he is watching us?!” She started to sit up. Her hand was clutching the red garment close to her.

 

“Let's wait to see if he leaves,” He did not want to tell her that he could smell Sango's scent also. “Lie back down. It will be ok.”

 

****

 

Miroku turned to see Inuyasha lower his mouth to Kagome's.

 

“We need to leave,” Sango insisted.

 

“He's not coming yet, and I need you to answer my question.” He bent into kiss her, but she tilted her head down to avoid him.

 

“Miroku,” she breathed the name, “I…”

 

He touched her chin with his hand and led her lips to his before she could stop him. It was a gentle kiss with true tenderness behind it. Sango was allowing him to put his arms around her waste as she wrapped hers around his neck.

 

“Not you guys too,” Shippo protested as he landed on Mirokus should.

 

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK!”

 

Once again Shippo's head was in pain from the sudden blow to the head from Miroku's fist.

 

“You really need to work on your timing,” Miroku muttered as he stood looking down at the kitsune.

 

“So do you, Miroku!” Inuyasha growled for inches way from his face.

 

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!”
