“Please don’t go.  Stay… with me?”

 

The young woman’s timid question rings soundly in the hanyou’s ears.  In fact, it takes a moment for the question to even sink in.  The worried look on her face, the quietness of her voice as she pleads for him to stay at her side, is more than what the hanyou can believe.

 

“Kagome.”  InuYasha slowly sits on the side of the bed.  “Just now I…I was wrong.  I just didn’t…well you must be very angry with me now.”

 

Kagome, shaking her head slowly, takes his head into her small hands, and gently pulls him toward her to return the kiss.  (What the hell does she think she’s doing?)  The surprised half demon swallows hard, giving little to no resistance as he comes nearer to her.  His heart skips a beat. 

 

“K…Kagome…you don’t under…“  Suddenly, InuYasha’s lips are captured by hers.  His body jerks as if a bolt of electricity was being poured into him igniting sudden unexplainable desires.  To him it felt as if second, or perhaps an eternity has passed, before Kagome finally breaks the kiss.  She looks up into his amber gaze, searching.

 

(What the fuck,) thought InuYasha amazed, staring down into the young woman’s innocent brown eyes while panting?  (That kiss!  It’s affecting my demon.  There’s no fucking way a kiss like that can come from a virgin.  So, what the hell is she?  A whore?  Some bitch who’s just toying with me?  Trying to bring out the demon in me just so she can watch me suffer?  What?)

 

“Teach me,” she whispers against his lips.

 

“Huh” asks the hanyou looking even more confused.  “What did you just say?”

 

“Teach me InuYasha,” Kagome whispers timidly, “Please?”

 

“Teach you what exactly.  You want to learn how to fight?”

 

“Um, um,” she replies with a slow shake of her head.  “I want you to teach me what it feels like…to be handled right.”

 

(Oh, now I get it.  This bitch thinks I’m too damn stupid to catch on to her little game here.  Well, I’ll show her.  I can play this game too.  In fact, I’m a fucking master at it.)  “I um, don’t think you… I mean I shouldn’t,” replies the hanyou watching her reactions closely.  “You’re still sore and…” 

 

Their lips again meet.  The hanyou experiencing the same reaction as before, holds the woman tighter against him, in an effort to deepen the kiss.

 

The kiss quickly becomes one of heated passion as InuYasha finally unleashes the wanton desires, he been holding back, for the young woman.  What had begun as a light, delicate, kiss from Kagome has changed the afternoon completely, turning it in to a wonderous, passionate and exciting adventure for the two.  This time it is the hanyou who breaks the kiss, breathing heavily, while staring disbelievingly, into her questioning eyes.  (No.  No fucking way this bitch is a virgin.  She can’t be.)

 

“Teach me?”  Kagome offers a timid smile.  “Please?”

 

“You...want me to...now?”

 

“Um, hm.”

 

“It’s going to take time to teach you everything Kagome, but,” The hanyou clears his throat.  “If you’re sure it’s what you want…”  Kagome nods and mistaking the seriousness in her eyes he slightly smiles.  (Yeah, I’ll teach you bitch.  Ya wanna play this game?  Then let’s play.)  “Ok Kagome,” InuYasha replies with a nod.  “I’ll do my best to um…teach you.”

 

The hanyou licks his lips before leaning in to tentatively lick the bruised area near her mouth, then gently nuzzles her, coaxing her to relax.  He sits up to look down at her body.  (Hmmm,) he thought.  (Exactly how should I do this?  Her game requires she play the virgin so what am I supposed to be?  Should I be tender with her, go slow maybe act like a virgin myself, or should I be aggressive and just take what I want?  I’m really good with the latter but since Kagome’s human, and since this is her game, it’s probably best I go with the former.)  The hanyou, with wide amber eyes, slowly grabs and picks up the hem of the woman’s nightgown, pulling it up over her head, and again stares down at the bruised body, exposed to him.  (Except for all the bruises, she’s really not that bad.  I only hope I can play this game of hers without getting overly anxious about it,) he thought trying hard to hide his conflicted state of mind?  (She’s hurt already.  With my claws, I could end up hurting her more if I’m not careful.  After all, since first meeting this bitch, I’ve wanted this.  Even fantasied about it.  Can’t go too quickly though. I might really fuck this up.  She could report me, say I’ve raped her or something.  Then I’ll lose everything I have.  So, I’ll make sure to make this real good for her so she won’t complain.  And if my luck holds out, she’ll asks me to do this again and next time we’ll do it on my terms.)

 

“Is something wrong InuYasha?  You seem to be hesitating.  Do I really look that bad?”

 

“You look fine Kagome,” replies InuYasha.  He leans over her body, and begins lightly kissing and rubbing his lips along her skin.  Kagome, feeling the rising heat, of the hanyou’s body, instinctively entwines her small shaking fingers in his thick silver white tresses. 

 

The half demon pauses and, supporting himself on one elbow studies her naked form from head to foot, while lightly scraping her skin with trembling claws.  For even though she’s not a virgin, this young maiden will always remain an untouched angel to him.

 

(She looks frightened,) the hanyou pauses.  (Could this be her first time fucking a demon?  It’s really not the same as fucking a human.  Humans could for the most part control their urges but not demons.  We can lose ourselves, lose control, and become savage, really aggressive if we’re not careful with a bitch.  And if she’s not ready for that, then maybe this isn’t such a good idea for us after all.  I could end killing Kagome, and I sure as hell don’t want that.)  InuYasha looks up concerned.  “Kagome.  Are you sure you want to go through with this?”

 

“Yes,” she quietly replies, slightly shivering.

 

“You’re really sure?  You can back out if you want.”

 

“I don’t want to back out.”

 

“Then what’s wrong?”

 

“I don’t understand.”

 

“You’re trembling like you’re scared or cold.  Ya need a blanket.  It won’t bother me, you know, if you want me to get you one.”

 

“I’m not cold, InuYasha.  Really.  A little frightened perhaps.”

 

(I knew it.)  “Don’t you trust me Kagome?  I swear I won’t do anything you wouldn’t want me to, ok?”

 

“I trust you, but... well I don’t trust me.  I... this is my first time, InuYasha, and I’m frightened, of what might happen, of what you’re about to do to me.”

 

“I see,” says the hanyou looking skeptical.  (Yeah, right Kagome, you don’t need to try so hard.  Not on my account.  I’m on to your little game already.  But still, I can smell her fear.  Her body is covered with it.  If she’s that scared, why do this at all?  Could it be Kagome’s gotten bored rutting with humans.  If so, that would explain it.  Kagome wants the excitement that comes with rutting with demons.  Well, if it’s excitements she wants, I’ll damn well give it to her.)

 

“Am I wrong InuYasha?”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Is it wrong of me to try this without knowing anything about it?”

 

The hanyou smiles.  “No, Kagome.  It’s not wrong.  It’s natural for you to be curious about something like this.  So, you want me to teach you… everything, right?” 

 

“Yes,” the young woman nods.  “I want to learn it all.”

 

“Alright, then that’s exactly what I’ll do Kagome.  I’ll teach you everything.  Not only will you learn what it feels like… I’ll teach you all the right ways, you should be treated…special … just like the woman you are.”  Kagome slightly smiles and InuYasha slowly pulls her underwear down and removes it, taking his time so not to hurt or frighten her more.  “And when I’m through teaching you Kagome, you’ll come to realize what a man…a real man truly is.”

 

“A real man?”

 

“That’s right Kagome,” he replies with a nod.  “A real man.”

 

Watching Kagome’s eyes for any sign of fear, or discomfort, InuYasha runs his clawed hand down, along her naked body then reaches to rub her private region causing Kagome to slightly jump.  Worried Kagome quickly looks up at the half demon.  “InuYasha?”

 

“Don’t worry Kagome,” says the hanyou quietly.

 

“But…”

 

“It’s just your body reacting to my touch, alright?  It’s perfectly natural.”

 

“But that…it felt so…so…oh I don’t know,” says Kagome looking confused.

 

“It didn’t hurt, did it?”

 

“No,” answers Kagome uncertainly with a slight shake of her head.  “It… felt nice…sort of different than when I touch down there.”

 

“You’re not concentrating, so hard, that’s why,” explains the hanyou with a smile.  “You’re allowing me to do it for you.”

 

“Should I InuYasha?” asks Kagome worriedly.  “Let you, I mean?”

 

“Of course,” answers the hanyou with a slow nod.  “It’s important to always allow your body, to feel openly Kagome…freely with a man, when he touches you like this.  Don’t think about it so much…relax and breathe so your whole body can feel everything, so it can react to its needs.”

 

“What needs?”

 

“You know what your needs are, don’t you?”

 

“No I’m afraid I don’t.”

 

“Oh, I think you do.”  He rubs her private region a little faster, feeling her rising heat.  “You’re probably not recognizing them as such.” 

 

“I don’t understand.”

 

“Just wait Kagome.”  InuYasha again lightly touches her hidden spot, feeling her body jump against his hand.  “See?  This reaction Kagome, tells me exactly what your body needs.  What you need.”  InuYasha leans down, lightly cups the young woman’s face, and softly kisses her, pushing his tongue inside her mouth to taste and explore.  As he deepens the kiss Kagome’s arms wrap limply around his waist.  The kiss is broken and the hanyou looks into her worried eyes and smiles.  “You can hold me, you know.  I won’t break.”

 

“I might,” replies Kagome, with a shaky smile.

 

“No, you won’t, I promise.”  InuYasha slows his movements, to scent the air.  A strange smile crosses his features as he looks down at the nervous young woman below him.  “Now then, you ready?” he whispers.  Kagome gives a look of uncertainty and InuYasha slightly backs away.  “If you’re not sure about this Kagome, about me then say so.”

 

“I’m just scared, InuYasha,” says Kagome timidly.

 

“I’ve already said I won’t hurt you,” he says becoming a little agitated with the woman.

 

“I know, but it’s not you I’m afraid of.”

 

“Then what is it?  What the hell is frightening you?”

 

“It’s this!  Ok?” replies Kagome worriedly.  “I don’t know anything like what to expect or how I should react.  What if I do something wrong?”

 

“You’re to expect nothing, alright?  And react to everything,” explains InuYasha.

 

“I don’t understand.”

 

“It’s like this Kagome.  When you begin feeling something, something strange that seems to be trying to take you over, don’t fight it.  Think of it as a small wave churning, rising up in an ocean…in a storm.  Let those waves rise inside and wash over you.”

 

“A… storm huh?”  Kagome gives a slight shiver.  “Does it really hurt that bad InuYasha?”

 

“You do trust me, don’t you?” asks InuYasha concerned. 

 

“Um hm,” she replies with a nod.

 

“Then you know you’re perfectly safe with me.  That I won’t let anything happen to you.  But if you’re feeling uncomfortable about this then you should say so.  Just say the word and we’ll stop here and now and maybe start this over again at another time…when you’re ready.”

 

“I am ready InuYasha.”

 

“Kagome.”

 

“I want to learn about this…to experience it, just once in my life.”

 

“You told me you’ve never done this before, right?”

 

“Um hm,” replies Kagome with a slow nod.

 

“And you’re absolutely sure you want your first time to be now…with me?”

 

Again, Kagome nods. 

 

“Ok.  But first I should warn you.  The first time can be really traumatic on a person Kagome, especially if she’s a virgin.  What you’re wanting us to do will be painful and can never be undone.  This will change you for life.  So, knowing all that are you still up for it?”  Kagome nods.  “Don’t lie to me Kagome.  Are you absolutely sure you want to do this?  Kagome again nods.  “Then we’ll take this nice and slow.  And whenever you feel you want to quit, just say so and we will.”

 

“O…k,” she replies hesitantly.

 

“I mean it Kagome.  Tell me.  It won’t hurt my feelings and I won’t get angry with you should you change your mind about doing this.  Alright?”

 

Kagome silently nods.  (Why does he keep warning me about this?  Is it he doesn’t want to do this with me at all?  If so, why doesn’t he stop it?)

 

“Good.  Then let’s begin.”  InuYasha again leans over and begins slowly licking and nibbling his way down along her body, pausing only to take one breast into his mouth to lightly suck while reaching over to gently massage the other.

 

The heat of his hand kneading and pulling on her breast, the roughness of his tongue as it grazes over her nipple and along her delicate skin, sparks unknown, stronger, desires within Kagome who, feeling a strange fire growing inside her body, becomes concerned.  (What’s happening?  Why am I suddenly feeling so hot?  Is InuYasha causing this?  Am I getting ready to explode…die like mama warned me?)  The young woman, breathes deeply, trying hard to relax and follow the hanyou’s instructions.  (No…Stop it.  It doesn’t matter if I die or not.  If I get hurt, doing this, it won’t be InuYasha’s fault.  It’ll be mine.  It was me who asked, more like begged him for this.)

 

The young hanyou continues his loving assault on Kagome’s body.  (She’s one damn good actress, I’ll give her that much.  I can almost believe she is a virgin.  But virgins simply don’t exist anymore.  Not in this lifetime anyway.)

 

Kagome closes her eyes to enjoy the sensations the hanyou brings, for never in all her life, has she ever been handled so gently, nor felt so precious.  (Relax.  InuYasha told me to relax.)  The young woman slowly opens her eyes to look down and watch the hanyou.  Her warm breath hit his ear and it twitches.  (Wonder if he’d allow me to touch them…just once.)  Kagome slowly reaches to gently rub the inside of the soft twitching appendage feeling the hanyou’s chest rumble against her.  (I knew it,) she thought surprised.  (He does purr.)

 

InuYasha raises darkening amber eyes to see her reaction and smiles.  “You do know I like that, don’t you?”

 

“Do you InuYasha?” she asks curiously and the hanyou nods.  “What else do you like?”

 

“Hmmm,” replies the hanyou with a perplexed look.  “Don’t know.”

 

“Why not?  You’re more experienced at this than I am, aren’t you?”

 

“Maybe Kagome, but…well this all seems new to me too.  Like I’ve never done this before.”

 

“But that can’t be right.  You have sex with KiKyo,” says Kagome curiously.

 

“Yes, that’s true.”

 

“So, sex shouldn’t be all that new to you.”

 

“Ah, but this isn’t sex.”

 

“It’s not?”  The hanyou slowly shakes his head.  “Then if this isn’t sex, what is it, we’re really doing here?”

 

“Well,” replies InuYasha.  “Guess you could call it making love.”

 

“Making love and sex are the same, InuYasha.”

 

“No, they’re not Kagome.  They’re different.”

 

“You’re, saying there really is a difference?  The hanyou nods.  What is it?”

 

“If you’ll just be patient Kagome, I’ll show you.”  Looking skeptical, Kagome nods.

 

Continuing his adventure down along Kagome’s body, InuYasha’s long silver white hair, like finely spun silver trails behind him, covering them, offering protection and warmth with its thickness as he, while taking in Kagome’s sweet, gentle scent, licks and blows on her warm body, tantalizing her skin causing her to shiver.  Coming to her waist, the hanyou pushes his tongue into her navel, and lightly nips the skin around it causing the woman to giggle and he smiles.  Noticing the hanyou making his way further down her body, she ceases her giggling, becoming fascinated.

 

“Um, InuYasha?” she asks her heart beating faster.

 

“Hmm?” he asks nipping the skin below her knee.

 

“What’re you doing down there?”

 

The hanyou looks up and smirks.  “Isn’t it obvious?  I’m tasting you.”

 

“Tasting?” Kagome asks anxiously.  “What for?”

 

The hanyou chuckles.  “I wish to know your body Kagome…both inside and out.”

 

“But that’s simply not possible, InuYasha,” she says with a suspicious look.  “I’m a person, not an animal.”

 

“Do you want me to stop?”

 

“No but when you’re through doing whatever it is you’re doing, what’ll you do next?  Will it hurt much?”

 

“Trust me Kagome,” replies InuYasha with a slight nod.  “Relax and whatever happens, unless I’m hurting you, don’t stop me, ok?”

 

“But I can’t see…”

 

“Don’t… stop me.”

 

InuYasha continues his lovemaking, and while doing so, Kagome nervously reaches up, quickly grabbing onto the bedpost; preparing herself for the pain InuYasha had told her about.  “Ok.  I’m ready.”  Closing her eyes tightly she waits for the uncomfortable sensation, the pain, the hanyou will give, but is then surprised, at the soft, pleasurable, unexpected feeling she does receive.  Enjoying this newfound sensation Kagome relaxes, releasing the bedpost, to lower her hand to rub her breast.

 

InuYasha again looks up.  “That’s it, Kagome,” he whispers and licks and kisses her inner thigh.  “Show me how much you like this.”  He nips her skin, again lowering his head toward her untouched private region.

 

Feeling a shift in the bed, Kagome quickly looks down seeing the hanyou move ever closer to an area she’d never thought a man would want to be.  She bites her lip, while becoming anxious.  (Does he really intend to eat me?  It’s no wonder it would hurt.)

 

InuYasha gently separates her nether region, revealing what is hidden.  (This should taste interesting.  Wonder how many different tastes are mixed in there?)  He lowers his head to run his tongue inside to taste her nectar.  (Hmm, that’s surprising.  It’s sweet,) he thought surprised.  (And fresh… like fresh meat.  She tastes so damn good I don’t want to stop eating her.)  The hanyou’s hips slightly grind into the bed.  (I’d better slow down.  Control myself or I’ll end up cumming way too soon.  Then everything will be fucked.)  Slowly, the hanyou slides his eager tongue up the length of her, stopping to gently tease her clit.  Kagome jerks back and the hanyou smirks.  (Good call Kagome.  Just what I’d expect from someone who’s supposedly inexperienced.)  He continues his slow adventurous assault on her unused body.

 

(What’s this feeling,) thought Kagome closing her eyes?  (Is this supposed to happen?  Mama’s told me a lot about this but never said anything about how good it felt.  Only that it was painful and dangerous.  That it could kill me.  Well dangerous or not I’m not going to stop this.  I want to experience all of it.  Even if it does kill me at least I’ll die knowing what it felt like.)

 

The hanyou enjoying his small feast continues teasing her untouched region, while deeply inhaling her alluring scent; for it is telling him her wave of pleasure will soon crest.  Careful of his claws he tightens his hold on her body, listening to her ragged breathing and the strong beating of her heart, surprised to find the beating of his own heart is strengthening as well.  Suddenly, an unexpected explosion of feelings occurs within Kagome’s body and she tries to pull back from him.

 

(Damn that was fast,) he thought holding her hips even tighter while eagerly licking and sucking the sweetness dripping from her, listening, waiting, for her to cry out to him in ecstasy.

 

Kagome fights the strange urge to cry out, by holding her breath and gritting her teeth trying her best to still her body’s movements.  However, refusing to obey her command, her body continues jerking from side to side, up and down in a crazed dance, betraying her emotions, telling InuYasha just exactly what he’s doing to her. 

 

The young hanyou continues lapping and tasting, attempting to control their loving dance for as long as possible.  (Damn it, quit being so fucking stingy bitch.  I want to get something out of this too, you know.)

 

Finally, the sensations die down, and Kagome’s trembling body stills.  (Damn she was good,) the half demon thought slowly licking and kissing his prize.  (Kind of wish I could do this again.)  He releases her hips and sits up.  Still licking his lips of the remaining nectar of her body’s offering, InuYasha looks down at Kagome, finding her eyes tightly closed, holding tightly onto the sheets, while fighting to calm her breathing.

 

InuYasha smirks.  (Hope she can keep this act up a little while longer.  This is the most fun I’ve had in ages.  Wonder just how far we can really take this and who’ll give up first.  It sure as hell won’t be me.)  The hanyou gently places his finger inside her body to slowly pump it in and out, rubbing the sensitive clit with his callous thumb, causing Kagome to gasp and give an unrestrained jump against his hand. 

 

“You ok there, Kagome?” asks InuYasha with a smirk.

 

“I’m not sure,” she replies breathlessly while slowly opening her eyes.  “I think I’m…dead.”

 

“No, you’re not dead,” replies the hanyou with a laugh.  “You’re still very much alive.”

 

“I see.  So that’s it?”

 

“What’s it?”

 

“This.  Making love.”

 

“That’s part of it,” replies the half demon with a slight nod.  “For me at least.”

 

“There’s more?” she asks expectantly.  “What do I do now?”

 

“What do you mean, do?” says InuYasha curiously cocking his head to the side.

 

“Well… like um,” Kagome licks her lips,” do I do that to you?”

 

“Do what exactly?”

 

“What you just did.”

 

“Oh, I don’t think…” the half demon replies. 

 

“Please InuYasha.  Let me try it just this once.”

 

“But you don’t know what to do?”

 

“You can teach me, can’t you?”

 

“Kagome...”

 

“Oh, please?  I just want to try it once InuYasha.  Please won’t you teach me?”

 

“If you’re sure you really want to Kagome?”  The young woman nods excitedly.  (Oh well.  I still have time.  And if she really wants it that badly, who am I to deny her?  What do I have to lose anyway?  It’s been a while since a bitch has given me any head and Kagome’s probably really good at this shit.  Big treat for me.)

 

InuYasha leaves the bed to slowly undress, giving Kagome time to change her mind while at the same time hoping she won’t. 

 

Kagome, watching the hanyou undress, blushes, her eyes becoming wider with every inch he’s slowly reveals.  The strong hard chest, the rock-hard abs, everything about him is all new and fascinating to her.

 

Not used to doing this particular task the young hanyou finds he’s becoming a little shy, himself as he undresses.  (What the hell is wrong with me?  I undress in front of bitches all the damn time yet never have I felt this fucking shy about it.  Even when my bitches strip me it’s never affected me this way.  So, why the fuck is it bothering me now?)

 

Seeing the heated blush rise on Kagome’s face InuYasha nervously, smiles before lying down beside her.  “Are you ready Kagome?”  Kagome slowly nods.  InuYasha takes her hand, to help her awkwardly climb over his naked body so she could get into a better position.

 

Kagome stares down in amazement at the strange naked body under her as well as his simi-large awaiting member.  She swallows hard, and begins looking quite uncertain, if not frightened by it.

 

(Oh hell,) thought InuYasha, seeing her reaction.  (I should have known this would happen.  Kagome’s never fucked a half demon before, doesn’t know what to expect so of course she’d be frightened.)  “Listen… Kagome.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“You really don’t have to bother.”  He takes her hand and gently squeezes.  “I didn’t expect you to do this for me anyway.”

 

“But I want to do this InuYasha,” she says anxiously.  “To make you feel what you’ve made me feel.”

 

“And that’s ok,” says the hanyou with a nod.  “It’s just the way you’re looking at me, at my body you seem just a little put off by it; like it repulses you.”

 

“I’m not put off…not exactly,” says Kagome, staring at the thickness, and length of him.  “It’s just so…so… I’ve never seen a…  I don’t want to hurt you.”

 

“I’ll let you know if you’re hurting me alright?” assures the hanyou with a smile.

 

“You’re sure?” she asks timidly.  “This is my first time.” 

 

(How many damn times is she gonna say that shit?  She must have realized by now I already know she’s not a virgin.)  The half demon sighs and nods.  “Yeah, Kagome, I’m sure.”

 

“Ok,” she slowly licks her lips then leans down and kisses the half demon’s body.  She feels his clawed hand slowly run into her long hair in an effort to gently guide her.  InuYasha soon becomes aware of her nervousness.

 

“Hey…Relax,” he whispers.  “It’s not going to bite you.”

 

“Hm?”

 

“Just take your time, Kagome.  You should be enjoying this too.”

 

(Enjoying it?  Is he kidding?  That thing is…it’s so big and…!  How will I ever get it all in my mouth?)  The woman though uncertain, nods and lightly licks his skin, slowly tracing the same path along the half demon’s body as he did with hers.  When Kagome returns to his, large, stiffened member, she hesitates.  (What happened to it?  It’s, grown so huge.  I can’t possibly get all that in my mouth much less swallow it.)  She looks up into the hanyou’s questioning eyes with uncertainty in hers and swallows hard.  (Still, if I want to know how to do this I’ll have to at least try.  Just hope I won’t get choked on it.)  “You… will tell me if I’m hurting you, right?”  InuYasha slowly nods.  Kagome, leans down and lightly licks his member.  She tries stuffing it all in her mouth at once to suck, finding it difficult to handle.

 

“You don’t need to put it all in your mouth, Kagome,” explains InuYasha, watching the woman become frustrated.

 

“But ummmm.  How can I…”

 

“Just take what you can, ok?  Work with it.  You’ll find it’ll be a lot easier to manage that way.”  Kagome nods, closes her eyes and again places his member into her mouth.  The hanyou then feels her tongue moving along his shaft as well as the sharpness of her teeth as if she’s actually trying to eat it.  InuYasha grimaces.  (She’s got to be kidding me!  It’s not a fucking hot dog, damn it!)  He pushes his hips upward, getting her attention.  Kagome, understanding the gesture, ceases her aggressiveness.  “That’s It.  A little at a time Kagome, and don’t use your teeth so much.”  The hanyou again reaches down to guide her.  “We’ve got all afternoon for this so relax.”  The young woman’s head slowly moves up and down along his shaft, taking what she can of him, occasionally looking up to see if she’s hurting InuYasha in any way. 

 

“Yes…now you’re getting it.”  (At least now I’ll get it back all in one piece.)  The hanyou closes his eyes to feel his body’s reactions.  “Soon Kagome,” he whispers, becoming restless.  “I’m almost there.”  His peak is coming faster.  (Damn it I can’t stand this shit anymore.)  Impatiently, InuYasha quickly pulls Kagome from him.

 

The young woman looks up, becoming worried as to why he would do such a thing.  “I didn’t mean to hurt you InuYasha.  I didn’t know I was doing anything wrong,” says Kagome anxiously and attempts to grab his member.  “Let me try again.  I’ll do it right this time.”

 

“Shhh.”  InuYasha gently pulls the worried woman up, over his body, and kisses her.  “You did nothing wrong Kagome, alright?”

 

“I must have InuYasha or you wouldn’t have…”

 

“I stopped you because I want us to do something a little different that’s all.”

 

“Different?” asks Kagome confused.

 

“Um hmm,” replies InuYasha with a nod.

 

“Like what?”

 

“You’ll see.  It’s something I know we’ll both enjoy.”

 

“We will?”  The hanyou raises her up and over his hard shaft, showing her his intentions.  (He really wants us to do…that,) thought Kagome looking down at the large size of his stiffened member, ready to impale her body?  InuYasha looks up, with an anxious expression.

 

“You will allow this, won’t you?”

 

Kagome looks up into the hanyou’s worried gaze and again at his large member.  (I don’t know if I’m ready for this.  What if it doesn’t fit?  Or worse, gets stuck in there?  He might be stuck in there forever.)  Visions of her going places with the hanyou connected to her fill her mind.

 

“Kagome?  Will you?”

 

(I guess I can use grease or some kind of oil to get him loose.)  She bites her lip and gives a short nod.

 

“You’re sure?”

 

“I trust you, InuYasha.”

 

(Now we’ll see just how much a virgin you truly are bitch.)  “This may hurt a little, Kagome,” explains the hanyou preparing her for his entry.  “But I’m sure the pain won’t last.  Remember I’m right here with you.”  The woman, still looking anxious again nods.  InuYasha tightens his hold and quickly pulls her body down, ramming his hardened member completely inside, feeling her heat and tightness while ripping her hymen.  His eyes widen as the scent of blood reaches his nose. 

 

(OH FUCK,) he thought surprised?  (She can’t be!)  Slightly raising her body, he looks down between them, finding blood covering his penis, causing him to finally realize the truth of what he’d just done.  (Kagome.  She… really IS a virgin!)  The half demon swallows hard, and tightly closes his eyes, feeling his heart overflow; as his demon inside him growls, acknowledging the great honor the young woman above has bestowed upon them.  (I can’t believe it!  I finally found one.  A real live fucking virgin!)  He slightly frowns.  (Not anymore though.  I just took that away from her and I can’t fucking give it back.  Now Kagome’s mine, she’s, my virgin.)

 

Kagome squeaks and moans, clutching his arms tightly as she’s filled completely with him while InuYasha, with a sense of guilt coming over him, pauses, waiting patiently for her to become use to the feeling of him being completely inside her body.  (This is my fault.  Kagome’s hurting because of me.  Her body is so fragile, so fucking tight she’s bound to be feeling a lot of pain from this.  If only I’d known.  I never expected Kagome to hurt like this but she was a… Shit!  It wasn’t fucking necessary for me to have torn into her like that.  Not necessary at all!  Damn it, I’m such a bastard!  Kagome probably hates me now for hurting her.  And she has every right to.)  “Are you…” InuYasha swallows hard, “all right Kagome?”  The young woman looks down with tears in her eyes and the hanyou reaches to gently brush them away.  “I’m sorry.  I didn’t think you’d be hurting like this.  We should end this now Kagome.  End it now before I cause you anymore pain.”

 

“Don’t stop InuYasha,” replies Kagome worriedly.  “Please.  Let me please you.”

 

“No worries there, fair maiden,” replies the hanyou who looking into her innocent eyes, begins feeling more guilty.  “You’ve already pleased me.”

 

“I did?” Kagome asks with a small smile.

 

“You sure did,” InuYasha nods.  “More than you’ll ever know.”  The worried hanyou brushes another tear from her eye.  “You’ve given me more Kagome, than any female ever has.  I now have a part of you that can’t ever be taken from me...a part no other bastard will ever have.”

 

“I don’t understand.”

 

“You don’t have to understand.  But I do.  So, if you’re hurting too much; if the pain’s getting too unbearable for you then we’ll stop.”

 

“No!” says the young woman anxiously.

 

“Kagome,” begins InuYasha anxiously.  “You’re in pain.”

 

“I don’t care InuYasha,” Kagome replies stubbornly shaking her head.  “I want to do this, to know what it’s like making love to you.”

 

(This must be killing her yet she still wants to go through with it.  Hell, not even KiKyo was ever this generous.)  With a small smile, the young hanyou gently rubs then grabs her hips to slowly lift her body up and down as Kagome, grateful for his understanding holds tightly to his arms. 

 

“Better?” the hanyou asks concerned.  Kagome nods and InuYasha continues, remaining steady so as not to overwhelm her again.  Biting his lip, he watches her body move up and down to his rhythm and his slow command.  For even though the heat; the tightness of her body threatens to be his undoing, he desperately wants to keep his control, determined to, unlike with KiKyo, make the experience as pleasurable as he possibly can make it for Kagome.  Kagome again feels the rising sensations and suddenly stiffens.  The hanyou looks up.

 

“Don’t Kagome,” he whispers coaxingly, “Relax and let it come.”  Her body slightly relaxes as her heat builds higher within her.  The hanyou, feeling the heat, quickens the pace, groaning as he feels his own body responding.

 

Soon, both, woman and hanyou are panting and groaning as they each work toward their ultimate goal, their bodies developing a slight sheen of sweat as they unceasingly move against one another.  Allowing the hanyou’s guidance, Kagome pushes herself to feel that wonderful sensation, as InuYasha, his eyes slightly glazed red, pulls Kagome’s hot body up, down and around, working it hard to his command.

 

Suddenly a look, akin to pain appears on the hanyou’s face as he, sharply pulls Kagome’s body down once more, completely sheathing his member inside; holding her still as they both begin experiencing their first orgasm together.  He pushes his head back against the pillow, growling loudly, while sharply pushing his hips upwards again and again as if determined to push as much of his member inside her hot body as he possibly can. 

 

Kagome, feeling the sensations as well, holds onto the hanyou’s body tightly as she rides, her dampened hair falling down onto his chest.

 

The feelings become very intense for the two.  So much so, neither wishes for the experience to end.  Her, feeling him strongly pulsating within her body; emptying his seed.  Him, feeling the heat of her body as it tightly clasps around his pulsing shaft; milking him; welcoming what, his body has to offer.  It’s, almost like a heavenly merging of their souls. 

 

Finally, exhausted, Kagome falls forward onto InuYasha’s hard, chest, breathing heavily and the hanyou, almost lightheaded himself, tightly embraces her, kissing the top of her head.

 

(I didn’t die mama.  I didn’t die,) she thought with a sigh.  (And that felt so… so magical.  I want to do it again but…can I?)  Thoughts of her future without the young hanyou filter into her mind and her smile slightly dims.  (No.  I can’t.)  She hugs the half demon tighter.  (I mustn’t wish, mustn’t think about doing that with him ever again!)

 

InuYasha is feeling a sense of peace, like no other.  Not even KiKyo has made him feel such contentment as this.  (Never thought it could be this way.)  Tightening his hold around Kagome’s body, he smiles.  (I don’t want to feel anything but this.  My body feels so weak, like every damn bone in my body has melted.  I don’t want to fucking move anymore.  I want to lie here, stay inside Kagome forever.  Just forget about everything else.)

 

“InuYasha?” she whispers feeling the hanyou’s heartbeat beneath her cheek.

 

“Hmm?”

 

“Does making love always feel like this?”

 

“Depends,” replies InuYasha gently rubbing her back.  “What did it feel like to you?”

 

“Wonderful.  It did hurt at first but the pain wasn’t as bad as I’ve always been told.  It actually felt special.”

 

“Special?” the hanyou asks curiously.  “How special?”

 

“It’s hard to say,” replies Kagome with a shrug of her shoulders.  “Just…special.  I feel so warm and relaxed now, like I can hardly move.  I’ll always remember this feeling and treasure it, forever and ever.”

 

“That good for you, huh?” asks the hanyou with pride in his voice.

 

“Um hm,” replies Kagome with a nod.  “Unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before.”

 

“It was good for me too, Kagome.”

 

“Was it…really?”

 

“Um hm,” replies the hanyou and again he kisses her head.  “Really.”

 

“I’m so glad, InuYasha,” says Kagome with a smile.  “I was so afraid I’d disappointed you.”

 

“You didn’t disappoint me fair maiden.  Not in the least.”

 

A long moment of contented silence passes between the two as the hanyou, lost in his thoughts, continues gently rubbing the woman’s back.

 

Breathing in the mixture of their scents mingling together, InuYasha, happily sighs.  (I’ve never felt this way before.  This closeness…this sense of peace.  Never before have I experienced any of this with any of my bitches and certainly not with KiKyo.  I feel as if I’ve been reborn somehow, different.)  He smiles.  (And this was the first time I’ve given my all to someone and not feel cheated by it.  Even my demon somehow seems happier.  But Kagome…wonder how she’s feeling about this.  Is she really as pleased with me as I am with her?  Or did she lie and is thinking of the pain I just put her body through?  If that’s the case, what will that mean for us?  Will she eventually forgive me for it?)

 

(What now,) thought Kagome worriedly?  (I can’t possibly tell InuYasha my feelings.  It wouldn’t be right.  He’s already promised to someone else.  He’d only laugh at me if I said anything anyway.  And I’d only end up hurting worse if he told me how sorry he is for this.  So, what’s left for me?  Just be his whore, his secret lover?  No, I can’t possibly do that no matter how much I love him.  It’s probably for the best I keep our relationship a secret, on a friendship level.  Question is…how can I possibly do that without betraying my true feelings for InuYasha?  Will someone else ever be able to take his place… make me feel this way again?)

 

(What is this feeling anyway,) thought InuYasha?  (Is it really love or just sexual, the afterglow maybe?  Why doesn’t KiKyo make me feel this way?  I never feel this relaxed or comfortable when I’m around her yet she’s my damn priestess, my lover, my future…  Damn it, what the hell does all this mean?  How would Kagome react if I should…)

 

“Thank you InuYasha,” whispers the woman in his arms.

 

(What did she say?)  The blissful bubble pops and his hand stills.  “For what Kagome?”

 

“For this.  For teaching me, how it feels to be handled right.”

 

“Yeah well…you’re welcome.”

 

“I just can’t tell you how much I really appreciate all the time and effort you’ve put into this InuYasha.  I’m sure this wasn’t easy for you.  But this…this was truly a wonderful experience for me and for as long as I live; I’ll always remember this lesson you’ve taught me here today.”

 

(What did she…?)  InuYasha becomes even tenser.  (After what we’ve just experienced, she thinks this was just a lesson?  What about the closeness, our feelings?  Didn’t they matter at all?)  “Kagome?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

“I don’t understand.  What…are you trying to tell me here?” 

 

“Tell you?”

 

“Yeah.  I might be wrong but, it sounds to me like you’re telling me goodbye…that this was our one and only time together,” the hanyou swallows hard, “and you don’t …want me anymore.  Weren’t you happy with me at all just now?”

 

“Happy?  Yes.  But it’s not quite that simple,” replies Kagome sadly.

 

“It sure as hell is,” answers the hanyou becoming a little frightened.  “I don’t do this with just anyone, Kagome!  I’m not a whore!”

 

“I know but this was only supposed to be a onetime thing, …remember?”

 

“Yeah, but it doesn’t really have to be that way, does it?  We can still be with each other.”

 

“I don’t think we can InuYasha.”

 

“Why not damn it?!

 

“Your obligations.”

 

“What obligations?  My work?  I can get around that.”

 

“You probably can InuYasha but what about KiKyo?  She’s your obligation you know.  She’s still waiting for you.  Waiting at home.  I know how much you really love her, and… she must love you back, right?”

 

“Maybe.”

 

“You know she does.  You wouldn’t be living with her otherwise.  Why she’s your one and only true love InuYasha.  Your one reason for existing.”

 

“You really believe that?”

 

“I do.  And you know what InuYasha?  I’m glad you have someone.  Really glad you won’t ever be alone.  Why I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear that the two of you were getting married soon.  That you’ll have lots and lots of children, and grow old together.  Your life will be just perfect InuYasha.”

 

(Perfect?  With you maybe but not with KiKyo.)  “Kagome,” begins InuYasha anxiously.  “I…”

 

“Please don’t say it.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“You’re going to say you didn’t mean to hurt me, right?” Kagome replies sadly.  “That this was all wrong and was a mistake.”

 

“Not exactly.”

 

“Well, I’m not hurt InuYasha, ok?  I…I’m fine so there’s no reason for you to be feeling guilty about what just happened between us.  I’m the one who asked you for this, wasn’t I?  You didn’t rape me or anything.”

 

(That’s not how I see it Kagome.)

 

“And I’ll tell you something else, InuYasha?”

 

“What?”

 

“I’m glad I asked you for this.  Glad you were able to teach me.”

 

“But you don’t under…”

 

“Yes, I do.  Maybe more than you know.  Having sex with someone who doesn’t belong to you, one that’s not your woman must be weighing heavily on your mind right now …hurting your soul.  You probably feel dirty, ashamed.  You’re thinking you’ve betrayed KiKyo.”

 

“I… you…”

 

“I know.  And I’m so sorry.”

 

“For what?”

 

“For making you feel that way.  It really wasn’t my intention to make you feel bad at all about this.  I was just inexperienced, that’s all.  Maybe asking you was wrong but I’m not ashamed of what we’ve done.  I’m happy you were able to teach me…that I was able learn.  But hey, don’t worry, ok?

 

“Worry?”

 

“About me.  You’re probably thinking I’ll tell KiKyo but I promise I won’t say a word about this to anyone.”

 

“I never thought you would.”

 

“Thanks, I was afraid that after this you wouldn’t be able to trust me anymore.”  The young woman gently smiles.  “But you know InuYasha?

 

“Hm?”

 

“To me, this really is a miracle.  The beginning of a brand-new life for me.”

 

“I don’t understand Kagome.”

 

“My new life.  Before… I’ve always been afraid if sex, never wanted to be touched by anyone.  Before you, I’d never even been kissed.  I’ve always thought…heard how sex was such a painful, terrible thing.  That it only leads to unhappiness and despair, destroys families…that a person could actually die from it.  No one has been able to convince me otherwise.  Until today.  You’ve really opened my eyes InuYasha.  I now know sex is nothing for me to be afraid of, that it’s meant to be a very special experience and should only be shared between two people who love and respect each other.  And it was such a wonderful lesson.  A lesson I’ll always remember and live by.”

 

“But what about…”

 

“Men?  Oh, I don’t need to worry about them anymore.”

 

“Why not?”

 

“Because I’m free now.  Free from all those misconceptions.  Because you’ve taught me, InuYasha, that it’s ok for me to get close to a man, any man who may come into my life.  I’m not afraid of them anymore.”

 

(What the hell could she possibly mean by that,) thought the hanyou anxiously?  (Any man?  Does she want me to say it’s ok…to just have at it?  How do I answer her?  I can’t, that’s how.  I won’t do it.)  “Listen…Kagome…”

 

“It’s alright.”

 

“You don’t know what I was going to say.”

 

“Yes, I do.  You’re going to say there can’t be anything between us.  That your relationship with KiKyo, it’s very important to you and that the two of us can only be friends.  I understand that.”

 

(Friends,) thought the hanyou disturbed?  (After all this, how can she possibly believe we can just be friends?  I took her innocence just now… gave my heart and soul to her.  Doesn’t she understand what any of that means… what I was trying to show her?  This wasn’t some damn lesson it was special to me.  It’s supposed to be…)

 

“You’re still worried, aren’t you?”

 

“Um…sort of,” the hanyou replies, trying to hide the hurt building inside.

 

“I thought so.  You have that look about you, like you can’t trust what I’m saying.  I will keep my promise InuYasha.  I swear I will.  Unless you tell her, KiKyo will never know about this.  It’ll always remain our secret.”

 

“Damn it, Kagome just shut the hell up already will ya?” the hanyou growls giving her a slight shake.

 

“InuYasha?” she asks looking surprised.

“Didn’t anyone ever tell you; you talk way too damn much woman?”

 

“But I was only…

 

“You think I give a fuck who you tell?  Well I don’t!  Go out there and shout it to the whole fucking world for all I care.”

 

“Thank you InuYasha.”  The young woman gently smiles.  “But I know you really don’t mean all that.”

 

“The hell I don’t!” says the hanyou in a desperate tone of voice.  “What do you expect us to do now, huh?  Shake hands and say so long?  Go our separate ways, like nothing’s happened…never seeing each other again?”

 

“That was the plan.”

 

“No Kagome.  This was your plan, not mine.  How can you even suggest such a thing?  This?  One time can never be enough for us and you know it.  I mean we’re friends, aren’t we?”

 

“Of course, we are,” replies Kagome quietly.  “We’ll always be friends.”

 

“That’s right.  And friends are supposed to stay together.  Besides I promised, didn’t I?  I said I’d protect you, that I’d keep you safe!”

 

“I know.”

 

“Then tell me how the hell can I do that if I can’t be around, you anymore?  How can I protect you from that bastard if he shows up here again?”

 

“It doesn’t matter.”

 

“Why the fuck not?  You planning to start sleeping with him?”

 

“Of course not.”

 

“Then what’s to stop him from raping you?  You don’t fight Kagome.  Hell, you can’t fight.”

 

“I know that too.  InuYasha.  I know you’ve been caring and protected me all this time.  But that has to stop.  I simply can’t have you coming to my rescue every time I’m hurt, or in trouble.  And what of KiKyo?  If she should ever find out about this, what will she think?  What would she say?”

 

“It doesn’t matter.”

 

“It does, matter InuYasha.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“It matters.  Look, I’m not hurt, ok?  I’m free now.  Free to experience life as I should.  I can go out and not be fearful of the men I may meet.  So you can let me go now InuYasha.  It’s time you started enjoying your life without worrying about what may or may not be happening to me.

 

“I can’t do that Kagome.”

 

“Yes you can.  You gave me hope InuYasha.  Heck I may even meet that special someone that could make me as happy as you have.  That means a lot to me.  Really.  I just don’t know how I’ll be able to repay you for all you’ve done for me today.”

 

“Keh!  Don’t be stupid Kagome,” says the hanyou painfully.  “You don’t owe me a damn thing.  But I’m telling you, you still need me.  You need me to...”

 

“Hold me,” whispers Kagome feeling the pain rising in her throat.

 

“That wasn’t what…”

 

“Hold me InuYasha.  Just a little while longer please?”

 

“Sure,” replies the hanyou uneasily tightening his hold around her.  “I’ll hold you, forever if you want.”

 

“Thanks.”  Kagome moves to his side, softly kissing his warm body before laying her head gently over his heart to listen to his slowing heartbeat.  “You feel so warm InuYasha.  That’s nice.  I like how safe your arms make me feel.  How protected I am when I’m around you.”  The hanyou’s hold tightens.  “You know?  Time can be so short for what we want in this life.  If we’re not careful we’re likely to miss it.  If only time would stop for us InuYasha, for just a little while longer.  I want to keep feeling you near me, the warmth of your body, and the safety of it.  But I can’t control time and soon you’ll be leaving here.  I may never see you again after today InuYasha.  So let me have just one last memory of us, of me being held, safe and warm in your strong protective arms.  Will you allow me that memory?”

 

“Kagome.”  The hanyou swallows his tears.

 

“I’m not asking for much am I?  Just a memory of the warmth your arms around me bring.  I want to dream, believe it’s just us here.  That there’s no Houjo or KiKyo, no world out beyond my bedroom door to come between us.  That would be alright, wouldn’t it?  Just for a little while?”  Kagome allows one tear to fall from her eyes before she sleeps; knowing it will be the last time she and InuYasha will ever be together.  (I do understand InuYasha,) she thought closing her eyes.  (I’ll have to for both our sakes.)

 

(Just us huh?)  The hanyou feels the warm wetness hit his chest and rubs it.  It’s as if acid had been dropped onto his skin, making its way through to his heart.  Holding Kagome closer InuYasha swallows the painful lump rising in his throat while running his slightly shaking fingers gently through her hair.  (You can’t know how much I really want that Kagome, to remain here with you, holding you like this forever.  I don’t know when or how or even why it happened.  And I’ve tried so hard to fight it.  Kept telling myself I should just leave you alone.  That KiKyo was the only one I should love.  Even told myself it was impossible for me to love another, or feel these feelings as strongly as I’m feeling them now.  Did it start that night, when brought me home with you?  Probably.  When I saw you tending to the boy, I understood then there was something special about you.  Something I couldn’t quite define or…or recognize.  But now, after being with you today I know exactly what that special elusive something is Kagome.  It’s love.  I love you so damn much and I don’t give a damn who knows it.  I really don’t want to lose it.  I’m just hoping one day, somehow, you’ll come to love me half as much as I love you Kagome.  So don’t tell me to walk out of your life, because I can’t.  No more than I can allow you to walk out of mine.)  Wetness fills InuYasha’s eyes and he closes them tightly while gritting his teeth.  (Damn it, I just can’t!)

 

In the quietness of her bedroom, InuYasha continues combing his claws gently through her hair, listening to her soft breathing as it evens out telling him she’s fallen asleep.  He then allows the tears he’s been holding back to finally come.  Tears for a loss he knows he must face.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

An hour later, Kagome awakens to an empty bed and looks around the room for the hanyou.  “InuYasha?”  Are you still here?”  (Hmph.  Figures.  He’s gone already.  Probably couldn’t wait to get away from me.)  The young woman wipes a tear from her cheek and looks down at the wetness on her hand.  “Now none of this Kagome,” she chastises herself with a sniff.  “You knew, good and well, this was going to happen before you started.  Crying about it now, won’t change anything.  Besides, you promised InuYasha, didn’t you?  You said,” she sniffs and wipes away another tear, “you told him you’d understand.  It’s just going to be a little harder than what you thought it’d be, that’s all.  But you’ll get through it.”  She looks over to the nightstand at the clock where a note is lying against it.  She reaches to pick it up.

 

Kagome,

 

Went back to work so you needn’t worry if I’d lost my job or not.  I’ll come by later to see you, for I believe we need to talk.  Don’t go anywhere without someone with you.  And keep your door closed, ok?  I need you to stay safe for me.

 

InuYasha

 

(He’s so sweet.)  Kagome smiles while gently laying the note back on the table.  (Can’t help but care, I guess.)  Her expression changes to one of concern.  (But what could InuYasha possibly want to talk to me about?  KiKyo maybe?  Surely, he’s not still worried about me running to her.  I told him I wouldn’t say anything.)  She dresses and goes about doing her housework, worriedly thinking of the young hanyou’s return.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Later, Kagome, still worried about InuYasha’s imminent arrival, is in the kitchen cleaning her dishes when she hears the doorbell. 

 

“Who is it?” she yells.

 

“It’s Sango Kagome.  Are you up for a visit now?”

 

“Sure.  Just give me a sec.”  She dries her hands and neatly folds her dish towel, laying it on the counter beside the sink then leaves her kitchen to go open the door for her friend who when entering is carrying a tray of cupcakes.

 

“Kagome,” says Sango, seeing the condition, the young woman’s in.  “You look a mess.”

 

“Gee thanks Sango.”

 

“I’m serious Kagome.  You look terrible.  What happened to you?”

 

“Houjo.  He came by early this morning.”

 

“He wasn’t here when I came by, was he?”

 

“Um hm,” replies Kagome with nod.  “I wanted to tell you but Houjo threatened he’d hurt you if I said anything.  So, I had no choice but to get you to go home.”

 

“You should have told me anyway Kagome.  I would have found a way in somehow and made the bastard pay for ever hurting you.”

 

“It’s best you didn’t.  If you had got in and tried anything, Houjo would have surely killed you.”  Kagome nods toward the tray in the other woman’s possession.  “So, what are those for?”

 

“It’s a new recipe.  Thought I’d bring a few over to see if you’d like them or not.”

 

“I see.  So, I’m gonna be your guinea pig now, huh?” Kagome asks smiling.

 

“Kagome.”

 

Kagome laughs.  “Put those on the table Sango while I put the coffee on.”

 

Sango walks into the kitchen.  “Say Kagome,” she says laying the tray down on the table.

 

“Yeah?” replies Kagome walking toward her coffee pot.

 

“Wasn’t that InuYasha I saw leaving here earlier?”

 

“Yep, he had to go back to work.”

 

“Why did he come by for?”

 

“Checking up on me I guess.”

 

“So, he knows what happened?”

 

“After seeing these bruises?  What do you think?”

 

“Upset, was he?”

 

“Let’s just say he wasn’t very happy about it.  But I think he was more upset with me for not calling anyone for help.”

 

“It certainly wouldn’t hurt you to ask for help Kagome.  Especially when something like that happens.  When you don’t tell us what’s going on, it’s like you don’t trust us or something.”

 

“That’s not true though.  You, Miroku, Kaede, InuYasha, all you guys are all so very special to me.”  Kagome with coffee pot in hand walks over to the table to pour coffee into Sango’s cup.  “I don’t have too many friends as it is Sango.  And losing any of you, would hurt way too much.” 

 

“How do you think we feel, seeing you like this?  Don’t you think it would hurt us if we ever lost you to someone like that…that freak?”

 

“Yeah, I know,” she replies with a sigh while taking her seat.  “Enough about that though.  How about handing over one of those experiments of yours?”

 

A half hour later Kagome and Sango are still sitting at the table.  Sango’s about to take a bite of her second cupcake when she notices Kagome hasn’t as yet taken a bite of her first.

 

“Don’t like that kind Kagome?”

 

She looks up.  “Huh?”

 

“You haven’t taken a bite of your cupcake.”

 

“Oh.  I’m just not very hungry, I guess.”

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“Oh, this and that.”

 

“This and that…what?  Are you expecting that Houjo person to come back?”

 

“No.  InuYasha.”

 

“Why are you worried about him for?”

 

“I guess you could say I’m more nervous than worried Sango.”

 

“He didn’t hurt you too, did he?”

 

“Oh no, nothing like that.  It’s...well I just can’t imagine why InuYasha would be coming back here.  I mean I promised him Sango.  I’d plainly told him I wouldn’t say anything to his girlfriend about him and I having sex this afternoon.  You’d think he’d trust…”  Kagome notices the sudden paleness of her friend’s skin and her mouth gaping open with her cupcake in her hand.

 

“Sango?  What’s wrong?”

 

“What… did you just say?” asks Sango hesitantly, slowly laying her cupcake aside.

 

“You’d think he’d trust me?”

 

“Before that.”

 

“I can’t imagine why InuYasha would be coming back here?”

 

“After that.”

 

Kagome gives a slight shrug.  “I don’t know.  It probably wasn’t all that important.”

 

“The hell it’s not.  You just told me you and InuYasha had sex.”

 

“No, I didn’t,” says Kagome, her face turning beet red.

 

“You sure as hell did Kagome.  Now tell me what happened!”

 

“Oh uuuh.”  Kagome looks down at her untouched cupcake, grabs it and shoves it in her mouth.  “Mmmm, this is really delicious Sango,” she says with a mouthful of cake muffling her voice.

 

“Kagome.”

 

“There’s, cherries in here, isn’t there?  I love cherries.  They always go great with chocolate.  Do you happen to have the recipe with you?”

 

“What happened between you and InuYasha Kagome?” says Sango looking stern.  “Did he rape you?”

 

“NO!”  Kagome chokes on the cupcake, grabs her coffee and takes a drink to wash it down.  “N…no, he didn’t.”

 

“What happened then?”

 

“It was um…” Kagome places her cup on the table.  “I asked him for it, ok?”
