Chapter Twelve

"People to whom you are attracted invariably think you remind them of someone else."

-Murphy's Laws of Sex

Kagome sighed as she counted the little plastic square again as if it would magically duplicate in her palm if she said 'One' enough times.

One condom. That was all she'd brought with her. How was she supposed to survive with only one condom? If the repercussion were pregnancy related then she had to be ultra cautious from now on. She gave another quiet sigh as she slipped the packet back into one of the front pockets of her bag.

Perhaps it was a good thing that they were heading back to Kaede's village so that Kagome could go back home and pick up the entire box of condoms that was hiding at the bottom of her closet. The only reason they were going back was because Kaede had sent them a message requesting so….

Inuyasha had his own ideas of why the old woman wanted them to return. "She's got it in for me." He muttered like a crazy person as the group passed by the huts that they'd taken shelter in one night ago. "She's going to stick more crap around my neck and make me pay for seeing her naked. As if I'm not paying enough!" He was careful to keep his voice hushed enough to avoid the other members of the group hearing him.

"What makes you think that she's out to get revenge?" Kagome asked. "Maybe she's just found another Shikon rumor and didn't want to reveal the location in an insecure messenger? Or better yet," she leant over to tug his ear down to her lips. "Maybe she's got a thing for you now…?"

"Oh gods…" Inuyasha quailed.

"Calm down." Kagome rolled her eyes. "Mikos are pure remember. Even if she does have the hots for you, I doubt she'd act on them."

"Oh gods!" Inuyasha looked quite ill.

Kagome rolled her eyes to the path they were traveling down, superstitiously stepping directly over the footsteps that Sango was leaving in her wake. In the war against fate, every little helped, right?

Her nose twitched. "ACK-Choo!"

Inuyasha gave her a perplexed look. "Are you alright to travel? Don't you feel sick?"

Kagome shrugged. "Hay fever. It always makes me act up after the rain." It was probably what had been making her sneeze yesterday. "ACK-CHOO! It's ok, really!" she waved a hand apologetically. "The pollen count must be high today, that's all."

Inuyasha frowned slightly as he fell into step behind her. He preferred this position because it meant he could watch the back of Kagome's skirt flip up in a flirty manner with every step she took. But maybe it wasn't such a good idea to catch glimpses of Kagome's panties? After all, they gave him naughty ideas. Naughty ideas that made him bite his lip and think of Kaede or else wind up thinking about the innocence that she'd lost and her powers along with it. He didn't want to face up to the fact that Kagome may have been right… that he'd done something to her that would cost her greatly…

He really had to cool it - at least until he was certain that Kagome was in no danger. And if she was…?

Well, he had a lifetime's supply of nude Kaede behind his eyelids that would render him impotent for however long it took.

"Welcome back," Kaede greeted the troop of warriors at the entrance of her hut. "I'm glad to see you return unscathed. Was the rumor true?"

"Yep!" Kagome rattled her bottle of Shikon shards. "Found it, no trouble. What was it that you called us back for?"

But Kaede was staring at Inuyasha… probably because he was staring at her so baldly that it looked like he'd been petrified. After a moment the old miko raised her eyebrow. "Are you undressing me with your eyes again?" she said dully.

"Did you just wink at me or was that only a blink?" Inuyasha asked shakily.

"You'll never know." Kaede replied evenly, her one-eyed stare becoming rather penetrating. Inuyasha made a sound suspiciously like a whimper and Miroku stroked his chin thoughtfully. Interesting…

Kagome, who was having trouble smothering her grin, decided to leap in and save Inuyasha. "Do you have another shard location, Kaede-baa-chan?" she asked politely. "Is that why you called us back?"

"Yes." Kaede turned and went back into her hut. Over her shoulder she called, "That and I have some shelves I'd like Inuyasha to put up and a few spells and potions that Houshi-sama can help me with. Other than that, why don't you all take a break for a few days."

"Yay!" Shippo chirped, bouncing off after Kaede like he had a spring inserted up his tail. "A break!"

"Ooh… what a relief." Sango sighed, letting Hiraikotsu slide off her shoulder. "My shoulders are killing me."

"Want me to massage them for you, my dear Sango?" Miroku, ready for the break as much as anyone else.

"You know…" Sango pursed her lips. "That might be nice. But any wandering hands and they'll find themselves twisted off, understand?"

"Naturally." He bowed humbly and followed her closely as she dragged her boomerang into the hut.

The schoolgirl stretched and yawned and made her way after them with a happy smile. "Ahh… maybe now I can go home and catch a good night's sleep in my own bed again!"

Inuyasha was left with Kirara… but after a moment Kirara scuttled into the hut as well with only a parting "Mew!" as her appreciation for the break.

Inuyasha gaped at the empty doorway before his rage took off. "What's the matter with you all?!" he hollered. "Naraku's out there right now, gaining strength with every second we waste and you all sit around like lazy buffoons?! Who knows what kind of evil schemes he's hatching for us at this very moment!"

Elsewhere in his "Secret Castle"

"Hey - careful! That's in ingrown toenail you're hacking at!" Naraku berated Kagura as she carefully clipped his toenails with a small knife.

"You know, it wouldn't be ingrown if you ate more calcium and zinc." The wind user grumbled as another piece of nail went flying, nearly hitting her in the eye. "They'll just keep breaking if you don't keep to the diet."

"I'm not keeping you alive to bitch at me, just cut the damn nails, woman."

Kanna looked on impassively from the doorway. Naraku-sama is very grumpy when he doesn't have much to do…

Inuyasha had disappeared to sulk again, Kagome realized, as she sorted through the contents of her bag, trying to decide what to take back with her and what to leave. Either that or he was cavorting with a naked Kikyo again…

The schoolgirl did wonder if the undead miko was still hanging around. It made her reluctant to return to her time just yet, at least until she was certain that Inuyasha was in no danger of catching of whiff of his old flame and running off to go say 'hi'. But she was comforted to know that he'd turned down the woman's previous advances - because she believed him. Whenever Inuyasha lied to her about Kikyo he would always start to look guilty… this time she'd seen his open honesty and his frustration at her initial disbelief.

Perhaps he had chosen her, Kagome, over Kikyo after all?

At least, Kagome hoped he had.

Standing up, Kagome picked up her bag and slung it over her shoulder. She turned to Kaede tending her fire and gave a small smile. "I'm going to go and say goodbye to Inuyasha now. I'll probably be back in a day or two."

"Very well. Don't forget to bring back some-"

"Hemorrhoid cream. I know."

"Thank you."

She found Inuyasha in the first place that she looked - the old tree on the outskirts of the village where he usually liked to hang out when he felt broody. She knew he heard her approach because his ears swiveled tellingly, but he pretended to be ignorant and went on staring at the sun slowly drifting towards the horizon.

"Whatcha thinking about?" she called up to him, leaning against the trunk below him.

"Nothing." He said shortly.

Still moody. Kagome chewed the inside of her cheek as a niggling worry caught her. Was Inuyasha going off her? Usually whenever they were alone he'd be all over her in an instant… so had he grown bored of her already?

No… that can't be it. Only yesterday she'd sat in his lip and felt his obvious arousal even while he'd been curt to her. He seemed to be holding himself back for some reason.

Why? Was it Kikyo? Did he feel guilty about Kikyo? Had Kagome say something to upset him? Or was it simply Kaede haunting him still.

Well, it wasn't healthy… and for once Kagome was willing to let her inhibitions go in favor of getting Inuyasha back to his usual self. "Inuyasha…" she called up in slightly pouty, but hopefully sexy manner. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing."

"Then come down here." She beckoned, swirling her shoulders from side to side. "I have something I want to give you."

That was a definite flinch, wasn't it? "I don't want it." He said shortly, but he sounded strained.

"Oh… I think you'll like it." Her smiled widened. "Sit."

The branch cracked and the boy plummeted back down to earth, landing on his back with a gasp and yelp. "Not funny!" he snarled at her.

"Not laughing." She returned with a shrug as she sauntered towards him again, copying the sexy sloping walk that she's seen so many times in the movies. Whether this affected him or not, she couldn't tell… until she came to a stand with both feet planted on either side of Inuyasha's chest, giving him a good view up her skirt. He gulped rather obviously. "Why are you avoiding me like the plague?" she asked coyly.

"M'not."

"Yes you are." Her face felt hot, but she wasn't sure whether or not she was blushing as she descended on him, seating herself directly over his crotch. Now she felt his arousal for sure, and it gave her confidence that he hadn't gone off her after all. She feigned a weary expression as she sighed and wriggled against him, secretly enjoying his grimace. "We seem to get interrupted whenever we're alone together." She positioned herself exactly so the hot bulge in his hakama pressed directly against her center. She gave her firm rock against him as her insides buzzed and a groan tore from his throat. "Anyone would think these are the repercussions. We've become sex-crazed but we haven't had the chance to get…" another thrust against him, "… intimate with each other yet. The frustration's getting to us both, isn't it?"

This was the first time that Kagome had actually initiated a sexual encounter, all but pinning him down and rubbing against him. It made him painfully hard, even though he was alarmed to find that he liked her dominating him. It just made her so much more… sexy.

Dear gods, how was he supposed to keep his tainted hands off her when she did things like this?

"We shouldn't…" he managed to choke out. "No codnom, remember?"

"Condom." She corrected automatically, reaching for her bag to withdraw the little blue square. "Last one."

"Oh shit…" he was screwed. Literally. "What about the repercussions that your friend-"

"If they're going to happen, they're going to happen. We've already condemned ourselves by having sex so what's a second time going to matter?" And since when had Inuyasha become the skittishly paranoid one and she the sex-eager nymph?

"Come on, Inuyasha." She leant down to brush her lips across his, feeling intoxicated with the power she currently held over him. "Please… make love to me… I'm burning up."

"But the repercussions-"

"Is that all you're worried about?" she sat up slightly to frown at him. "Or is there something else?"

He looked pained, in an aroused sort of way. "No… I just don't want you getting hurt because of something I've done to you."

Touched, Kagome's face softened and she stroked his cheek. "Don't worry about that. We've made a commitment to each other… so please don't pull away from me now."

She kissed him again, softly, but this time he stole it from her and brought the passion to an entirely new level. His hands gripped her arms roughly as his mouth slanted across hers and he tangled his tongue with hers. Kagome's world suddenly shrank, blotting out the noises of the village below and the sound of the critters in the trees above them - all she was aware of was Inuyasha. His scent, his warmth, his touch and his incredible taste. They were all hers for the taking and she greedily devoured as much of his as she could, fisting her fingers in his haori to tug it apart and feel the warm skin of his chest against her hands.

She had no idea how he'd managed to arouse her so completely with only this one kiss. But it wasn't just his kiss. His fingers squeezed her waist, her breasts brushed against his chest, teasing her nipples, and his arousal was pressing insistently against her, reminding her of what he had in mind.

Then, with a groan, he suddenly switched their positions, shoving her beneath him to press more of himself against her. Their kiss didn't break, but his hands were almost aggressive in their exploration of her body, running over her breasts down to where they clutched at her thighs, dragging them further apart to accommodate him obscenely. He gave a gentle rolling thrust of the hips and Kagome had to break the kiss in order to voice her groan. She arched into his arms with abandon, listening to his heavy panting as he repeated the motion, watching her face as she nearly climaxed right then and there for him.

No more playing around. Kagome needed him inside her and she needed him now! Pushing against his shoulder, she flattened him onto his back again and sat back against his erection. She wanted this position - she felt more in control and perhaps being in control of their pace would help stifle the pain of penetration. Hastily, and rather clumsily, she began to unfasten the tie of his hakama, parting it only as far as necessary to reach inside and touch him.

His breath caught in a hiss and Kagome's hand shook slightly as she pulled his penis from the folds of his clothes. She'd never really seen it in full light (fully erect anyway) and she stopped to gaze in fascination at the appendage in her hand.

"What are you doing?" he ground out, fighting the urge to scream at her to hurry up.

"You're not as big as I thought you were." She cocked her head. "Six or seven inches maybe."

"What?!"

And with that, he flipped her over and started to position himself properly for the final act.

Kagome had other ideas, and Inuyasha soon found himself on his back again as Kagome began adjusting her panties heatedly. No, she probably didn't understand that this wasn't the way that these things were done. The woman was always beneath… so he corrected their positions again.

And once more, Kagome managed to push him on his back. The next time Inuyasha tried to pull her beneath him she wouldn't let him, and very quickly their kisses dissolved into bared teeth and their moans had become outright growls and hisses. Neither was on top… they were too busy wresting with each others arms while they lay on their sides.

"What are you playing at?" Inuyasha snapped. "Stop messing around!"

"You big control freak!" Kagome shot back. "Why can't I be on top?!"

"Because you're the woman!"

"So?"

"So there!"

"So sit!"

"Gyak!" Inuyasha helplessly flopped onto his back, the power of the rosary restraining him from moving for at least the next sixty seconds. Kagome made the most of it as she climbed back over him, panting but triumphant.

"You shouldn't be so conventional." She told him. "You'll like it this way, you'll see."

Inuyasha didn't really believe her, and his mood plummeted especially when she tore open the packet of the 'kingdom'. "Bitch!" he hissed, agitated as she rolled the tight sheathe over his length.

"You're lucky you're cute." Kagome bent down to kiss him soundly, pleased when he returned the passion with equal fevor. She didn't want this to be one-sided.

"Same goes for you." He panted. "If you weren't half as sexy as you are then I would be walking off about now."

She didn't bother removing her underwear. Instead, she pushed the necessary material aside and took Inuyasha's length in hand to guide it to where she needed him most. The ache was becoming unbearable and if she didn't scratch the itch soon she felt like she'd go crazy.

Inuyasha's hands gripped her hips tightly, almost bruising her, as she lowered herself down over him. She loved the way his face went slack with bliss while his breathing remained labored. She felt like he was wrapped around her pinky, and she loved every moment of it. Loved bringing him pleasure that no one else had ever done. Loved him enough to do this with him.

The pain was still there, initially, as her muscles resisted the invasion instinctively. But she forced herself to relax and let her own weight guide her down until she was seated against him completely. She let out a breath that she wasn't aware she had been holding, and basked for a moment in the full sensation he gave her, the pleasure zinging through her nerve endings. He was in her to the hilt and Kagome bit her lip, feeling warm all over and slightly lethargic.

"I told you you'd like what I had for you." She whispered.

Inuyasha had his eyes closed in sweet agony. "You're still an evil bitch." He said in a strained voice.

Right then, Kaede's form appeared on the rise ahead of them. Kagome caught the movement out the corner of her eyes and stiffened as she stared towards the old woman in horror. Inuyasha must have felt her go rigid and after a moment he craned his neck to look behind him…

Needless to say, the mere sight of Kaede made his manhood soften a little.

"Is there ever a time when you aren't fighting?"

It took a moment for the pair to register what she'd said, and as Kagome looked down at herself, she realized that her skirt was actually hiding their act. And their whole position resembled one long ago that Kaede had also walked in on - at least that time they had been fighting. With Kagome's hands fisting in Inuyasha's haori - looking more like she was trying to throttle him by the lapels than anything else - it was no wonder that Kaede had come to the wrong conclusion.

Thank the lord for sixty year old miko virgins.

Kaede seemed to find nothing odd about the situation and carried on walking towards the forest like nothing was happening. "I hear your shouting from all the way down in the village. Don't forget about putting up my shelves, Inuyasha."

Kagome's face was aflame as she stared at Inuyasha's collarbone. Could people actually die of embarrassment? If so, Kagome was in trouble, because Kaede had just walked within six feet of them while Inuyasha was inside of her. Inuyasha looked slightly bemused if not a little annoyed at the interruption, but Kagome didn't dare move or breathe until Kaede had disappeared into the trees.

We can't keep doing this, Kagome closed her eyes. We're going to get caught and land ourselves in serious trouble one day… "Inuyasha… I should probably go home now."

"I'm sorry I… you know," Inuyasha muttered, shifting self-consciously. "It's just that - when I saw her - I remembered her without her clothes on… and-"

"Oh - it's not that!" Kagome said quickly, realising he was apologizing for losing his arousal. Besides, she'd pretty much turned cold the moment she realized they'd nearly been caught again. She started to get off him. "I just need to go home and refresh my supplies…" of condoms.

"Wait, what are you - ahh! - you're going home? Now?"

"Well, Simpsons is on in half an hour so I have to hurry." She readjusted her clothing and snatched her bag up. "Sorry, Inuyasha. I'll be back as soon as I can."

The last he saw of her was her green skirt swishing hurriedly as she cheesed it down the hill.

Inuyasha was left staring up at the darkening sky, wondering where the hell it had all gone wrong. Obviously, it had gone wrong when Kaede had walked past - but that wasn't what he meant.

There had once been a time when Inuyasha had crushed on Kagome in a rather serious way. She fascinated him, she turned him on, and she distracted him at the most inappropriate times. He thought he could cure his infatuation with the girl by fucking her, working off his extra frustration and thus maintaining a healthy lifestyle with each portions of killing and screwing as any red-blooded male should.

But now that he'd tasted her, felt her heated skin against his own and penetrated the most secret part of her, his 'infatuation' was growing to dangerous proportions. It wasn't enough to just fuck her, he wanted to spend all his time with her, to carry her around so that she'd never risk getting hurt again, to be allowed to lie beside her while slept to watch her dreaming. He wanted to see every bite of food she took to know that she was nourished, to see her wash herself and then bury his nose in her hair to smell that delicate female scent.

And yes, he wanted to fuck her more than ever, despite his best laid plans. He'd never been closer to anyone in his life, and the fact that it was Kagome he'd been so intimate with made his attachment to her seem ever greater. He trusted her totally and completely… when had he been able to say that about anyone before?

He'd been a fool to think that sex was just another frivolous activity that everyone partook in at one time or another. It wasn't routine. It wasn't nothing. It was so much more… to the point where Inuyasha was finding the words 'fuck', 'sex', and 'screw' to be inaccurate. They sounded too much like 'run', 'talk', or 'eat'. Mundane verbs that everyone used.

It was more precious than that. Too personal to be branded with a simple word. Perhaps Kagome's term was better. Making Love. That's what she called it.

Inuyasha pulled a face. Love was a weird word for a weird feeling that he wasn't sure he understood. He wasn't familiar with it…

Was he in love? What were the symptoms?

Inuyasha blew out an irritable sigh as he reached down and snapped the unused condom off his waning erection. He tossed it aside and fastened his hakama back up in case Kaede toddled past again. He continued to lay on his back, but seriously began considering the option of secretly stalking after Kagome to watch over her and make sure she as alright.

And perhaps steal her away to a more private location?

They certainly hadn't been getting enough alone time recently…

The house was suspiciously quiet when Kagome returned home. The lights were off in every single room except the kitchen at the end of the hall, and not even the sound of Souta's games or Grandpa's broom could be heard. Surely they weren't all in bed this early in the evening?

"Helloooo?" Kagome called as she stepped out of her shoes in the porch. "Anyone home?"

"Kagome." She heard her mother's voice emanating from the kitchen ahead of her. "Come in here a moment, we need to talk."

"Ok." Kagome frowned slightly, wondering if her mother's slightly stiff tone meant that the monthly report cards had arrived from school. She stepped into the kitchen doorway and found her mother sitting at the table, arms folded with a bank expression on her face.

It was hard to tell when her mother was angry, because Mrs Higurashi just wasn't the angry type of person. When she was gravely annoyed she might frown, but she usually kept her calm whatever the situation.

But Kagome could quite safely guess that her mother was angry tonight, judging by the torn condom wrapper that sat in the middle of the empty table. Kagome's bag slipped from her shoulder and hit the floor with a thud. Her eyes met her mother's steely ones and she gulped.

Mrs Higurashi lifted her chin slowly. "Explain."
