Chapter Three: Realization of a Goal

“What do you want?” Inuyasha growled.

“I merely wished to see if Rin spoke the truth.”

“The truth about what?”

“My ward tells me,” the taiyoukai replied, walking languidly around the clearing as he spoke, “that your miko jumps into this well and disappears for days on end. And given that you yourself have appeared where nothing was before, I am curious. Where does it go?”

“None of your busi…”

“It goes to my home.” Kagome said softly, peeking around Inuyasha's shoulder.

“Kagome!” Inuyasha hissed, turning to glare at her for a moment before spinning back around to face his brother. “Like I said, it's none of your business. Now, get out of MY forest!”

Sesshoumaru chuckled, an almost hollow sound that sent chills down Kagome's spine. He turned and began walking gracefully back to the woods and Kagome wondered why it was always the bad guys who got the sensuous voices and bodies that turned girls into goo. She found herself staring at the blanket of hair that swayed behind him as he walked and wondering just what that waterfall of silk was hiding. And then, once again, Kagome found herself wondering why she kept thinking like this in the first place.

I really need to get laid.

Almost as if he'd read her mind, Sesshoumaru turned at the edge of the clearing and stared right into her eyes for a moment before he disappeared into the shadows. When he was gone, Inuyasha started heading towards the village, grumbling the whole way.

When they got back to the village, Kagome discovered Sesshoumaru's reason for being there. The new miko starting training with Kaede was none other than Rin. The young girl had grown a lot in the years they'd been chasing Naraku and Kagome could understand why Sesshoumaru was foisting her off onto Kaede. Girls her age usually produced a lot of questions…and drama, two things for which the taiyoukai normally had no patience for. Kagome wondered if Rin had already begun having her monthly gift and if she should offer to show the young girl how to use the more convenient tools from the future to manage it. That had been one of the most shocking things about her stays in the feudal era, the sheer lack of hygienic methods to manage a period. Some women she'd talked to merely wore a cloth *ahem* down there and then wrung it out every hour or so before placing it back to catch more! No, modern medicine was definitely the way to go on this.

WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT THESE THINGS??!?!?!?

Shoving thoughts of all things menstrual or sexual from her mind, Kagome busied herself helping Kaede and Sango prepare dinner while the boys went to check the perimeter of the village for attackers—according to Inuyasha anyways, but Kagome knew the truth. They were going to look for Sesshoumaru. Plain and simple.

She really didn't see what Inuyasha was so worried about. Sesshoumaru wasn't one to sneak around and draw out an attack. If he had been planning to attack them, he would have done it already. She suspected the taiyoukai was merely making sure his ward was suitably settled and then he would wander off once again. But even when he did wander off, given that Rin was pretty much the only person on the planet he seemed to give a crap about, he probably wouldn't stay gone long. That meant Kagome had lots of stressful days spent keeping Inuyasha from getting himself killed in her future. Not that I don't now. That idiot would jump straight into the pit of a volcano if he thought it was challenging him—another reason not to go to the aquarium.

She had to wonder if it ever got tiring being that stupid. She knew it certainly frustrated her to no end. How he could have lived so long and not learned a damn thing from his mistakes was beyond her. She'd never forget when they'd been battling Hyõga and the stupid hanyou had leapt into the air time after time to attack the moth youkai's energy field only to fall back down to the ground and leap up again as if he expected different results each time. It was one of the reasons she had decided it was useless to think she could ever have anything deeper than friendship with him. He never learned, and she was a crappy teacher.

That night, after everyone had gone to bed, Kagome gathered her new toy and made her way to the hot spring. She'd been afraid she wouldn't get a chance to try it out tonight as Inuyasha kept making excuses to wander through the village in search of his brother, but about half an hour ago, the hanyou had retreated to the roof of Kaede's hut for the night, leaving her free to make her escape. She'd waited until she'd heard the telltale sounds of Inuyasha's snoring before sneaking away into the night. She'd thought long and hard about this moment. What songs she was going to play—she'd even made a CD specifically to use tonight—what settings she wanted to try out first, even how she would lay while doing it. She just hoped the experience wouldn't fall short of her expectations. When she reached the hot springs, Kagome carefully laid out all her toiletries by the spring. She didn't plan on soaking before going back, but this way if someone came looking for her, she could say she'd come out here for a bath.

Laying out her towel on the grass, Kagome pulled her new toy from its box. The sleek shiny purple vibrator remained still and for a moment, Kagome panicked until remembering that on its current setting, it wouldn't do anything until she hit play on her CD player. She slowly slipped out of her pajamas, her eyes periodically checking the trees for a flash of red or purple before lying down on her back. Taking a deep breath, she pushed the tip inside her body and allowed herself to get used to the feeling. The pain that enveloped her wasn't unexpected, but she found if she went slowly she could keep it at a bearable level, allowing her body to adjust as she went. She was a bit surprised when she didn't encounter any resistance that would signify her hymen, but she'd heard stories of women's hymen's getting torn prematurely by strenuous activity—something which she was certainly familiar with—so she tried not to let it bother her.

When she finally got it completely inside herself, Kagome pulled her headphones on, pressed play, and promptly exclaimed her surprise…rather loudly I might add. The sensation was like nothing she'd ever experienced. Far more stimulating than anything her hands had ever been able to accomplish, Kagome felt like she was floating on Cloud Nine. As the song continued to rise in tempo, she reached down between her legs and gave the handle a tug, unable to stop the moan that flowed from her as she did.

A ways off in the woods, Sesshoumaru's ears perked up from his place high in a tree, the sound of someone moaning causing him to pause in his hand's movements on his own erection. Swiftly retying his hakama, the taiyoukai made his way through the treetops towards the sounds, which were growing in number and volume. Spying the miko, he watched transfixed as she moved some sort of device between her legs. It wasn't hard to guess its purpose, but the strange sounds it along with the strange device covering her ears were making caused him to pause. Deciding to take advantage of the show, he loosened the ties to his hakama and prepared to make himself more comfortable before stopping as a better idea popped into his head.

His feet were silent as he dropped to the ground, still slightly unsure of what exactly his plan was as he approached her writhing form. He wondered just how she would react when she saw him standing over her. He was actually a bit surprised when she didn't notice him immediately. Silent as he was, she should have at least felt his presence by now. I wonder how far I can go before she realizes I'm here.

Kagome was in a world all her own. She couldn't believe how intense the pleasure was. She pumped the shaft deep into her core as the music whirled around her, the rhythm rising as the song neared its climax. She was almost there, the pressure was building up to that one final explosion and she eagerly welcomed it. Opening her eyes for the briefest of moments, Kagome screamed when she found she was not alone.

“Wha…what are you doing here?!” She searched blindly for her clothes, unwilling to take her eyes from the taiyoukai who stood in front of her with his hand down his pants. The vibrator still thrummed inside her, and she moaned involuntarily as a particularly fast moment came up. Sesshoumaru was still watching her; the movements of his hand leaving little doubt what he intended to do. Hoping to lessen the temptation, Kagome made another frantic grab behind her for her clothes. When she couldn't find them, Kagome pulled off her headphones and removed the vibrator from her body. His eyes immediately gravitated to it for a moment and he finally withdrew his hand from his hakama. He still hadn't answered her though, so Kagome decided to try a different approach. Sliding gently backwards, she tried to make it back to the water's edge, but her movement only served to draw his attention back to her.

He moved so quickly, she'd barely even felt it. One second, he was standing beside her and the next, he'd picked her up and leapt high into the trees. She struggled wildly, prying at his hand around her waist as she fought to escape. That is, until a low “Be still,” rumbled from his throat. She obediently ceased her struggles, deciding to instead try to cover as much of her body as she could with her hands. She was shaking now; the cool air intensifying her nervousness as his fingers feathered over her skin where he held her. “What are you doing?” she asked again.

“I would think that would be obvious.” He said, shifting her slightly so he could reach more of her body.

“In a tree?!”

“Mmm, no escape routes.”

He leaned down to nibble her neck and Kagome opened her mouth to protest until it occurred to her that this was her chance. She'd been looking for a lover, and here was an extremely attractive youkai wanting her “love.” And as far as potential bed partners went, she could definitely do worse. Sesshoumaru was not only otherworldly gorgeous, she'd never seen him look less than perfect. Ever. And, nestled in his arm like she was, she was surrounded by his scent, which reminded her of a waterfall up in the mountains that she'd visited in her youth. A combination of water, leaves, and earth.

His mouth had reached her shoulder and she groaned. But then her foot slipped off the branch and reminded her that she was currently thirty feet off the ground and the man holding her only had one arm.

Scooting a littler close to him, she cleared her throat. “Um, Sesshoumaru, do you think we could continue this conversation on the ground?”

“There is no need for conversing.”

Kagome snorted; a quiet “Beg to differ,” whispering from her lips as his hand found her nipple, but she couldn't really bring herself to protest further. His lips on her skin felt heavenly and she leaned into his touch. “Sesshoumaru please…”

He smirked against her skin, slowly guiding her to turn around and lean against his raised knee. When she was sufficiently balanced, he carefully undid the ties to his armor, laying it across a nearby branch out of the way. He then began on the ties for his haori. As Kagome watched him fumble with the knots, her mind registered just how difficult such a simple task could be when you only had one hand with which to accomplish it.

She reached forward and brushed his hand away with her own, taking over the task of undressing the powerful taiyoukai. She undid the sash slowly and he shrugged out of his shirt, draping it and the inner shirt over yet another nearby branch. She then reached down to the ties to his hakama, but hesitated as her fingers touched the silk. After this, there would be no turning back. She was about to sleep with Inuyasha's brother. A man who until very recently, had been her enemy. A man who had tried to melt her with his own acid…and who was one handed because of her.

“Are you sure about this?” She said suddenly, pulling back slightly to meet his gaze.

His growl rumbled through his body to her own and Kagome felt what little innards she had left turn to pudding. But still, as much as she wanted this, she found she was too shy to take it.

After a moment though, he seemed to realize her predicament and took up disrobing himself again. Kagome watched as he slowly undid the knots holding his pants and twisted the sash around a branch above them.

“Hold,” he mumbled gruffly and Kagome immediately obeyed, reaching above her head to grasp the dangling cloth. When she was secured thus, Sesshoumaru lifted his hips slightly to push his hakama down. He then guided Kagome back until his member rested against her body. “This will hurt.”

Kagome nodded and braced herself for the pain while praying that she didn't get blood all over his pants. Then, without any further warning, he jerked upwards and she gasped as he embedded himself fully within her. She tried to force her body to relax. He was much larger than her musical toy and she hadn't been prepared for the sheer volume of pain that enveloped her. He was apparently waiting for her to adjust, for which she was extremely grateful. She wasn't sure her body could handle any more stimulation at this point. Already, she could feel her nerves igniting in preparation for what was to come.

When the pressure had backed down to a dull pinch, she nodded slightly, biting her lip to keep from crying out as he began his thrusts. The pleasure ricocheted through her entire body, her every nerve inflamed to the point that she could feel the pinpricks of them all over her skin, as if her entire body had been asleep and was now waking up. She released his sash, her arms lowering slightly before his voice once more thrummed through her.

“Leave them up,”

She obediently grasped the cloth again; surprised as an unbearable desire to touch him surged through her. His rhythm was hard and fast, his shaft pounding into her as his head bent down to nibble at her neck. She wanted so bad to drop her hands and hold his head to her skin, but she had to admit, being taken by something you couldn't touch added another dimension to the experience. But as her pleasure mounted, it became harder for her to focus on keeping her hands attached to the cloth, and as his lips found her nipple, she could withstand it no longer.

Crying out, she dropped her arms to wrap them around his neck, holding him to her as he lavished her body with attention. Her fingers entangled in his hair as the tension once again rose to the breaking point. She eagerly welcomed the rush, his name tearing forth from her lips as a rainbow of color exploded behind her eyes and she dropped her head back to enjoy the bliss. A few strokes later and he jerked underneath her as his seed shot into her and he buried his nose in her neck.

His fingers danced lightly over her skin as Kagome slowly returned to her senses. His body was vibrating gently in contentment and she fought the urge to compare him to her cat. Stretching her limbs to further relax her body, she leaned back against his still raised knee to look at him.

“Um…” she said softly, unsure of just what one was supposed to say to the youkai who'd deflowered her. “Thanks,” was lame. “That felt good” was cliché. And she didn't really want to jump right out and ask him if he'd be willing to do this on a regular basis. So, what did that leave her with? She shifted slightly to make herself more comfortable, straining her mind for something to say.

But, apparently the fates were going to decide for her though. Before she'd even gotten completely settled against him, she heard Inuyasha's voice rising through the trees. “Kagome? Where are you?”

Cursing softly, Kagome realized she'd been gone a lot longer than she'd meant to be. Glancing at the taiyoukai in front of her and noting that he was apparently in no hurry to move given his relaxed position, she tried to pull herself off of him so she could climb down the tree. But when she reached across him to grab the trunk, he grabbed her arm to stop her.

“If I don't go, he'll tear the forest apart looking for me.” Sesshoumaru sighed, giving her a look that clearly said she had overlooked something important. “What?”

“You are covered in my scent.”

“Oh…” She hadn't thought of that. She didn't even want to think about what her hanyou friend would do if he smelled his hated brother's scent all over her. But they had to do something though, soon Inuyasha would be close enough to smell them and that would only end in disaster. Sighing, she leaned her head back against his knee to think, getting an idea when she saw the sliver of the crescent moon hanging above them.

“We're right above the hot spring right?” She asked and he paused in gathering his clothing to nod at her slightly. “Tomorrow is the new moon. Inuyasha's senses will be somewhat dulled until after he transforms. If you can get me to the spring before he gets much closer, I should be able to wash off enough of your scent that he won't be able to smell it over the other scents surrounding the spring.”

“And what will you say when he smells me nearby?”

“Hey, I didn't know you were nearby. You could have been repressing your youki. I don't have a youkai sense of smell. How was I to know you were nearby?” He snorted and she crossed her arms. “You seem to be forgetting how gullible Inuyasha is. Plus! You've been hanging around here for days watching Rin! You were bound to be nearby! There, problem solved!”

Sighing quietly, he gathered her into his arms and leapt down to the forest floor, setting her down beside her discarded towel. Kagome wasted no time hiding her toy behind some rocks before walking quickly to the warm waters of the spring. Turning when she was halfway submerged, she looked back at the taiyoukai who was calmly walking back into the trees.

“Will I see you again?” she asked softly, suddenly overcome with the need to know if he would return.

He paused, murmuring a soft “perhaps” before continuing into the darkness.

After he was gone, Kagome sunk down into the water, resting her head on her knees, unable to keep the smile from her face. Another shout from Inuyasha however reminded her that she had more important things to worry about at the moment. She quickly scrubbed her body and hair to remove as much of her lover's scent as possible with water alone before attempting to look as if she'd dosed off while bathing. The smile never left her face though, even when Inuyasha came crashing through the trees in search of her. The night had turned out far more wonderful than she could have hoped. Now she could only wait for the next time she met with the youkai lord of the West. She hoped it was soon.

P.S. I hate the title of this chapter. Anyone with suggestions of something better please feel free to share.
