InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ An Itch To Scratch ❯ Thistle for Your Thoughts ( Chapter 2 )

Since the last one was from Sesshoumaru's prospective, I thought I'd make this one from Kagome's. It's a change up, I hope it works!

 

Thank you to everyone who reviewed my first chapter which I so dubbed “Fleas”. It was my first shot at citrus and I guess I did okay.

 

Well, Enjoy!

Stupid Inuyasha “Ow!” with his stupid one-track mind! “Ow ow!” I can't believe he did that, “Ow!” just wait until I get my hands on him! He'll be sat so much he won't be able to “Ow!” walk for a month!

 

“Son of…Ow!”

 

I HATE him, no I don't…OW! Okay, yes I hate him.

 

Everything was going fine “ow!” Everyone was in a good mood, even him “ow!” And Naraku had left us an opening in the form of his “ow!” ugly bees “ow!”

 

Things were “ow!” normal-well, as normal as they usually are- “yeow! Man that one hurt!” Just like normal I hitch a “ow!” ride on his back and we “ow!” make our way after it “owy owy owy!”

 

He just had to get “ow!” side tracked. Does he even realize “ow!” that when he's running, if he happens “ow!” to let go that I will FALL?!

 

Apparently “ow!” not.

 

And now I am stuck here “ow!” picking thistles off my ENTIRE “ow!” body. And they're not big thistles, nooo, that would be too “ow!” easy.

 

Okay, I need to take a break from picking out these things.

 

I don't even know how long I've been out here like this. It was near mid afternoon when we caught sight of that stupid bug and now it's almost sunset. I hope everyone's okay.

 

Inuyasha said that he smelled Naraku and he needed me to get off his back so that he could be ready. He didn't even give me a chance to gain my bearings! He just let go and expected me to land with the grace of a cat. As if. There I went, tumbling head on into probably the biggest thorn bush in Japan.

 

These things are starting to itch!

 

At least Miroku, Sango, and Shippou were nice enough to stop and see if I needed help. But, being the ever self-sacrificing person I am, I told them I was fine and that I didn't need their help and that they should go help Inuyasha.

 

Errr, just thinking of his name makes me mad!

 

These things are poking me EVERYWHERE. They are in places that they shouldn't be. At least I was smart enough to wear jeans this time. Maybe a few will fall out when I take the jeans off?

 

Oh man, these things feel like tiny needles. Hm, it's kind of like it feels when my leg goes to sleep.

 

I wonder if I can start a fire while I'm like this; it's kind of hard to bend over. Maybe if I just kick some limbs into a pile…

 

“Ha!” I'm so smart. No one can say that I'm not resourceful! Now if I can just get my matchbook…“Yes! Score two for Kagome!”

 

Argh these things ITCH!

 

Well, at least it didn't take long for me to start the fire. Where are those guys?! Oh, I hate being in the dark by myself.

 

Stupid Inuyasha. He's probably still upset because I was willingly being, ahem, “civil” with his brother a few months ago. Wow, just thinking about it makes me blush. I still can't believe I let him do those things to me, not that they weren't pleasurable…Gah! What am I saying?! He's Inuyasha's brother. No, bad Kagome, I cannot think about him and his ridiculously long pretty silver hair, or his metallic amber eyes, or his chiseled chest or his tight, firm…ah! I'm doing it again!

 

Doing stuff like that with him is probably what got me into this mess in the first place. Stupid bush.

 

“Ow!” Stupid thistles too. And because I had nothing else to call stupid right at the moment, I stomped my foot. Ow. Come on! Who gets thistles stuck in their feet? Apparently I do.

 

I see a particularly large thistle and take the opportunity to be rid of one more of these retched things. “Ouch.” Man even my skin was becoming numb; that one should've hurt really bad, it was between my fingers after all.

 

With all of my picking, I finally rid myself of the ones on my backside so that I could sit down comfortably. I notice that is now really dark, not even the twilight is visible anymore.

 

I hate being out here alone, where is everyone? If I could walk properly I would have went to look for them a long time ago. They better not have forgotten about me. “Oh come on.” I might have to set myself up for a long night of thistle pulling.

 

Man, I want to scratch my arms so bad! Too bad there isn't a thistle removing shampoo…I'm going to KILL Inuyasha! That traitor, I can't believe he dropped me! Man, that guy can hold a grudge.

 

Who knew that Japan could be so creepy at night? It looks so nice during the day. “Ow.” Wow, I almost don't have to say `ow' anymore, I can barely feel-

 

Crap what was that?!...

 

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! That was definitely something, something very big…

 

“Argh!!! Stupid, big, freakin' bunny!”

 

“Talking to the wildlife I see,” came a deep baritone voice. Wait a second, I know that voice!

 

I turned quickly to verify the owner of that voice. “Sesshoum- ow!” Yeah, that was smooth. I probably shouldn't have turned around that quickly.

 

He raised one of his elegant eyebrows. Man, why can't I do that? He let his eyes pass over my body excruciatingly slow and I could feel myself turn hot with a blush as he did so. Well, if he is taking the liberty to do so then why can't I?

 

Gods, he looks as gorgeous as ever. Men should not be this beautiful! That hair, those eyes, those stipes…ahh, those stripes. I've seen where those go. And his fangs…wait. His fangs? Is he…is he smiling at me?

 

“Miko,” he says. Geeze, just one word from his mouth and I turn to goo.

 

“Y-yes?” I say.

 

He took this chance to look me over once again. “How is it that you came to be covered in thistles?” he asked me.

 

Well, that just made me mad all over again. “Your stupid brother-”

 

“Half-brother,” he interrupted.

 

“Excuse me, half-brother. Well, he, he-he DROPPED IN A BUSH! Can you believe the nerve of him!?” Okay, now I was yelling. It didn't help any that these stupid things made me itch all over; I just want to scratch!

 

“Hn.” He said. Then, “You gave your assistance to this Sesshoumaru; I believe it is only fair that I offer my services to you as well.”

 

That caught me a bit off guard. “Wh-what do you mean?” I asked.

 

I watched as he slowly walked to me and reached his hand up near my face. He cupped my cheek in his hand and slowly rubbed his thumb over my bottom lip. I closed my eyes; it felt really good. His fingers were soft and hot against my skin and his thumb was leaving behind a tortuous fire. He reluctantly pulled back then and when I opened my eyes I noticed he had a handful of thistles that he had discretely extracted from my face.

 

“How'd you-how'd you do that?” I asked him, though my voice came out a bit breathy. He just pulled a handful of thistles out and it didn't even hurt!

 

“Hm, miko I have many ways of numbing more, painful…activities,” he answered me while looking me up and down again.

 

Oh gods he's giving me that look. He gave me one just like it when I helped him a few months ago. I can feel the blush beginning to spread over my face. Take calming breaths Kagome.

 

“What do you-what do you mean by that?” I asked.

 

He merely gave me a one-shoulder shrug and closed the distance between us again. He reached his arm up again and slowly dragged it down my arm, leaving that, yet again, burning sensation as he did so. I watched as he shook his hand lightly and more thistles dropped to the ground. He repeated this action with my other arm and I couldn't stop the slight gasp that left me then as his hand “accidentally” brushed against the side of my breast.

 

He was turning my legs into jell-o with just small strokes on my arms!

 

Sesshoumaru then brought his hand up to my neck, I stiffened on instinct, but then he moved his hand down my throat to in between my breasts, bringing along with him, even more of the thistles. His hands did not stop there though, for in another instant I felt him move his hand downward to the hem of my shirt and gently lifted it from being tucked in my jeans.

 

My breath was coming out in quick pants as he slid his fingers under my blouse and touched my heated skin. His hand continued its way upward bringing my shirt up along with it as much as he could. He then gave me a look that clearly said `take the shirt off' and I could only comply while his eyes bored into me.

 

As soon as my shirt was off I saw him trail his eyes over my figure and it made my mouth go dry. His stare was so intense that it made me a bit nervous to be under his scrutiny. I tried to cover myself from his view by crossing my arms over my chest.

 

“Don't,” he then said suddenly.

 

I gulped and brought my arms back down to my side and I could feel my face getting hot. He splayed his hand over my now bare stomach and allowed his claws to lightly scratch their way down my middle. Suddenly, the thistles that were still covering my legs were not that important anymore for he had slipped a couple of his fingers into the waistband of my pants, working with sure motions as he unbuttoned them.

 

I closed my eyes wanting to savor the way that he looked at the very moment the button of my pants came undone. I could vaguely feel the thistles on my legs as he slowly worked my jeans down, brushing his hand over my thighs as he did so.

 

Oh gods, I really shouldn't be letting him do this to me…so why am I?

 

He stood yet again and we came face to face. I was about to tell him to stop but before I could, his lips gently brushed over mine and I was lost. The kiss was so full of want that I couldn't break away from it even if I wanted to, which I didn't.

 

So I answered back which earned me a nice sounding growl from him that made me shiver. He nipped at my bottom lip and I opened up to him, deepening the kiss and our tongues danced with each other.

 

My lungs felt as if they were on fire! Forget the thistles, this…oh this was setting my skin ablaze! I could feel the coil tightening in my abdomen as he broke from my mouth and starting trailing his tongue and lips down my neck and over my collar bone.

 

Hazily I can recall him lowering me to the ground, but I couldn't bring myself to care while he continued to leave open-mouthed kisses on my flesh. Further down he went, until he reached my chest. He pulled on of my hard nipples into his mouth, sending another heat wave over my entire being. The moan that left me then fueled his ministrations as he switched to my other breast.

 

Oh gods! Maybe Inuyasha should drop me in thorn bushes more often!

 

I nearly lost it when he traveled further down…down. Oh my god! Gods what is he doing to me?!

 

I arched my back in pleasure as his lips teased against my folds. He then took the plunge and I couldn't help but raise my hips upward against him. He growled low again and it sent smooth vibrations all through me.

 

My breaths were short and needy, I couldn't breathe. The coil that had been in my abdomen lowered itself to my core and it tightened almost to the point of breaking. Never in my life would I have thought something would have felt this good!

 

I chanced a look at him while he was ravaging me and I became entranced when I saw his eyes watching me while he continued his attentions. The small camp fire that I had started gave him an ethereal glow and I never thought he looked more beautiful.

 

I could faintly hear myself moan out loud and pant as the coil wound tighter. I knew something was going to explode so I braced myself by fisting my hands in his hair. His actions became almost frantic as I could feel myself squeeze around him and none to soon my vision was filled with white as I came.

 

“Oh gods Sesshoumaru!” I screamed. Pulsations racked my body I could feel the heat on my face as it flushed from my release.

 

He left chaste kisses on my skin as he crawled his way back up my body until his mouth was next to my ear.

 

“Once again Miko, you have sated this Sesshoumaru's desires,” he said in that baritone voice of his.

 

I blushed once more, how is it that he could do that to me with just his voice, it wasn't fair!

 

“I-” I started to say before I was interrupted.

 

“Kaagggoooommeeeeeee!” I indistinctly heard Inuyasha call in the distance. I sighed at once again having my time cut short with the demon in front of me by him.

 

Sesshoumaru stood and offered his hand to help me. I shook my clothes out and grabbed my bag to don my pajamas; I wasn't getting back in those thistle-ridden clothes. I pulled on my pj's and looked over to Sesshoumaru. His face was expressionless, but there was definitely a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

 

I saw that a leaf had made its way into his hair so I stepped up to take it out. After a soft brush of my lips against his, I watched as he walked back into the forest, a huge smile plastered on my face.

 

“Until next time,” I heard him say before he disappeared. The thought of what `next time' might entail sent shivers of pleasure rushing over me. Next time, I would make sure all the attention wasn't on me.

 

I absently ran my hand over my arm. “Ow!” Damn, must have missed one.

 

“Kagome, where the hell have you been?!” screamed Inuyasha as he came crashing into my little camp.

 

That's it! “Inuyasha SIT!” I screamed.

 

Was it bad that I took great pleasure in watching him form a huge crater?

 

“Damn wench, what the fuck did you do that for?!” he shrieked at me.

 

“I can't believe you! You practically throw me into a thorn bush, leave me behind to pick stupid thistles out of my skin, and you have the nerve to ask me where I've been?!”

 

Ooooo, he can be so DENSE sometimes!

 

“Keh! If you would've just let go when I told you to, that wouldn't have happened! Don't go blaming me for-” he paused and I saw him sniff around. “Why the hell does it smell like Sesshoumaru here?! Did he hurt you?! What happened?!”

 

I shook my head. “Nothing happened Inuyasha, I'm fine, and he didn't hurt me.” Quite the opposite in fact, I wanted to say.

 

He narrowed his eyes at me; I could tell he was searching me for lies. After a while though he gave up and turned away. “Whatever,” he mumbled, “let's just get going.”

 

I nodded my head and we started walking to where he said Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kirara were camped waiting for us. I took one last look at the ground of my camp to where all the thistles that Sesshoumaru had pulled off me lay and smiled.

 

Until next time then.
