Chapter Five:

Sango sighed contentedly and she tighened her arms around his neck. 'How had they gotten there?' She rested her forhead against his and whispered out, "I love you Miroku." He smiled and with a burst of energy swept her up and spun around. Her joyful laugh echoed through the halls.

Kagome strolled down the halls, glancing at the paintings on the walls. One caught her eye and she stopped. It was a painting of a young looking demonness. She had long midnight black hair and beautiful golden eyes. A blue cresent symbol resided on her forhead and a red strip ran from her right temple to her cheek, reaching to the middle of her eye. She was dressed in an extravagant kimono and sat on a bench smiling softly.

"That is my mother." A voice spoke to her.

"She is very beautiful. When was this picture painted?" Kagome looked over to Sesshoumaru when she had finished her study of the painting.

He seemed off in a memory and she smiled in catching him in it. His eyes focused back and he answered while still gazing at the picture. "I painted it when I was 57."

Whatever Kagome had expected this was not it. "You painted it?" She quickly picked her jaw off the floor at the look he gave her. "I'm sorry but I never expected you to be a painter....or anything that didn't involve killing." Kagome sighed, "I geuss I've never seen this side of you before. It is a pleasant surprise. Do you still paint?"

"No." Sesshoumaru began to turn around, "Dinner will be ready shortly. You should go clean up and dress. There will be propper attire in your rooms." He left then. Kagome felt kind of bad for him. He was always so closed off.

Shrugging her shoulders and trying to gain back her cheerfulness she continued down the hall before remembering she had no idea where she was. 'Great. Just great. Now how am I suppose to take a bath, get dressed, eat, or do anything!? I'm lost!' She huffed in annoyance and turned around only to bump into somebody. "Oh!" She looked up and found Sly grinning down at her.

"You called?" He grinned as he held out an arm for her to take. "Come on. I'll lead you to the bathing chambers. I could use a bath myself." Kagome looked at him nervously, hoping he didn't mean he was going to bath with her.

Sly smiled at her innocently and continued walking. It was then that she realized he was listinening to her thoughts again. She frowned and promised him a very painful death if he didn't get out of her head right now. He winced at the mental images she sent him and sent his own images back at her.

Kagomes eyes widened as she saw herself writhing in passion beneath him. Her blush intensified as she found the prospect appealing.

"You are such a pervert." She muttered to him. He laughed lightly and pulled her to the side. He pushed her up against the wall and leaned in closely.

His breath fanned across her neck and her breathing sped up. He held onto her hips and she gripped at his forearms, unsure weather she wanted to push him away or pull him closer. "I may be a pervert Darling, but I assure you it is directed at only you." He whispered against her neck and he nibbled there lightly. Kagome's eyelids lowered a fraction as the sensations washed over her.

"Lucky me." She whispered although it didn't come out quite as sarcastic as she had meant for it to. He smiled against her and continued his attentions to her neck. He nipped, licked, and sucked, loving how she tasted and how well she responded to him. His right hand traveled up her body, brushing the side of her breast and she arched against him, a shaky breath escaping her lips.

Kagome desperately tried to calm her body down. This was not what she wanted. She knew it was wrong because he did not love her and she did not love him. They had just met and he was ravashing her in the hall! She closed her eyes tightly, focusing on calming herself down.

Sly pulled back from her. "I'm sorry." Kagomes eyes sprang open hearing his words. Her breathing was still heavy and the sent of her arousal hung thick in the air. "I should not have done that. I keep forgetting you are human."

"What is that suppose to mean?" Kagome's anger flared. "Am I not good enough for you because I'm human?"

Sly's eyes widened. "No! Thats not what I meant. It's just that with demons, casual relations are normal, but with humans....they expect more, they need more that just a good tumble in the bed."

Kagomes eyes narrowed, "So thats all I am to you? A possible 'good tumble in the bed'?"

"I'm not going to win this argument no matter what." Sly gave an exasperated sigh, "I simply meant that I keep forgetting you are human and therefore expect more from a relationship than I am able to give at the moment."

"What do you mean?" Kagome's anger ebbed back as confusion replaced it.

"What I mean is that I can not take a mate until Naraku is destroyed. And I can not have relations with you for you might become pregnant and I can not properly protect the child unless you are my mate."

"Well why can you not take a mate until Naraku is destroyed."

"Because I will not have a weakness for him to find." Sly was suddenly very serious, his normal mischievious smile gone. He sighed and took her arm again, leading her to the baths. And so, things have just gotten a bit more complicated.

'How the hell do you forget you cant take a mate?' Kagomes angry thought echoed through her head as she frowned at the back of his head. 'I mean you dont go and kiss a girl like that and then just leave them hanging! The nerve of him! And ignorning me like that! I ought to-' Her thoughts were silenced with a kiss. Her eyes widened as she realized Sly had been listening again. She really needed to find a spell to keep him out.

"I do fully intend to continue this later, darling." He smirked. "I just have to find that bastard first. But if you are so eager I'm sure there are other way we can have fun together." He licked his lips as his eyes trailed over her body.

Kagome blushed a pretty pink. "I can't. I don't want to start anything when I dont know where it will go. Don't demons mate for life? I'm just a human anyway, I will grow old and die soon enough. Compared to your life span anyway." She sighed as her depression washed over her.

"When a demon mates, they share a life. The weaker of the two will not grow old or die unless their mate dies. And because they share a life, they will inevitably share a death. That is why I will not take a mate just yet. But once I come out of this I will come back to you."

"Why? You don't even know me! And we don't know what is going to happen to me after the jewele is compete. I might be taken back to my own time."

"Then we will just have to wait and see. Take things as they come." Sly shrugged.

"But I don't love you. I couldn't possibly love you so soon. I dont even know you."

Sly smiled brightly at her. Kagome was a bit surprised to say the least. "It seems I'll have to give you a lesson in demon mating rituals, darling. Lets get to that bath and I will tell you then." They walked on down the hall. Kagome was more than a little confused and frustrated.

After a few more turns they reached a set of large oak doors. A scene of a river in a forest with a woman bathing in the river was carved into the doors. It was very beautiful and Kagome ran her fingers over the pattern. The doors opened under her touch and she gasped. Inside there was one large hot springs with many bathing supplies, towles, and changing screens around the circular room. Sly walked over to a shelf and took down two bottles and two towles. He then walked over to a bench and sat down. Kagome walked over to him.

"What are you doing?" He looked up at her from his task of removing his shoes.

"Well I can't bathe with my clothes on, now can I?" He went back to removing his shoes and then pulled his shirt over his head. He stood up with only his pants left on and began to untie the sash. "Are you going to undress or would you like me to do that for you?" He smirked when she blushed and began to remove her clothes as well. She set them in a pile on the floor and strode over to the hotsprings. She dipped her foot in before lowering her whole body in and sighing to herself.

"This is wonderful." Her eyes closed as she enjoyed the feel of the hot water soothing her muscles. She heard Sly enter the water beside her and cracked an eye open, watching him.

He picked up a bottle and emptied some of its contents into his hand. He turned to her and told her to turn around. She did so and he began to put the soaps in her hair, massaging her scalp as he worked up a good lather. "Ok, rinse." Kagome almost pouted as she leaned her head back and rinsed out the soaps. Of course from this position Sly had a nice view of her breast bobbing in the water. When she had finished she rose back up and he applied a different formula to her hair. With the processed repeated and another nice view Sly moved to grab the body soaps.

Authors Notes:

I know I'm evil but there is a 99% chance this will be a lemon and I wanted it in its own chapter in case there are some people reading this who doesn't like a little lemon in their tea. *wink* I'll try to get it up as soon as possible but I'm currently writting four stories including this one and I just finished a different one. Most of them are on ff.net though. I have yet to finish uploading everything on mm.org. But ANYWAY!

I would just like to say THANK YOU to all my reviewers! You dont realize how much a little review means to me. And you guys are so nice and I love you so much for it! I have learned to love the sound of "You've got mail!" lol.

Does anyone think they moved too fast? I think they did and I might rewrite this chapter....I don't know. But I'm just gonna say that demons move fast and leave it at that. And I know Kagome is a little less modest in this fic but uhm...she's comfortable enough around him? *shrugs* Oh and for the demon age thing if anyone was wondering. I'm not using demon years to human years as they have dog years to human years. Demons age the same as humans they just stop growing at 20. Then they age about 1 year every hundred years. But that is just in appearance. Does this manke ANY sense? *shrugs* Oh well. If you dont get it then ignore it. It's not important anyway. Just my little side note.

Any questions? Just ask me in a reivew or email me!

OH! And sly wasn't tryng to get sess and kag TOGETHER just to get sess to swallow his pride and admit that a human female was attractive. Just to clear that up. *grins*

So now that you've had all the sly/kagome goodness you wanted, I'm gonna go read. And for the sess/kag fans there will be an alternate ending for them. If anyone wants one.
