Rating: (R) There will most likely be a lemon in a future chapter but if there is it will be at MediaMiner.org. I will let you know.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or the characters of Inuyasha. I DO own Sly. He is mine and I love him. :P

Chapter Six:

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.

"As nice as all this attention is," Kagome began, "Weren't you going to give me a lesson in demon mating rituals?" She smiled.

Caught off gaurd Sly dropped the soap and stared at her with wide eyes before he came back to himself and grinned. "Yes. Yes I was. Well, where should I begin?" He made a show of tapping his chin in thought before grinning again. "Not all demons are the same. Foxes in particualre are very sensual creatures." He licked his lips as he let his eyes wander while he spoke, " They have almost a sixth since when it comes to females. They will know automaticly if one is compatable enough physically, emotionally, and mentally the moment they meet them. Usually it is very hard to find someone who is completely compatible with you and so when one does find someone they make it a point to claim the female as soon as possible. When the couple actually mate they gain the others memories and learn everything there is to know about one another. But this doesn't work unless both give the other their mark." Sly shrugged trying to explain it and piece it all together where she would understand. "Any questions?"

Kagome blinked. "Nope. I think I got it."

"Good." His eyes turned a shade darker as he came closer to her, grabbing up the soap on the way. He grinned at her as he began a lather in his hands. Kagome blushed and turned her back to him. She didn't expect what he did next and let out a soft gasp at the feel of his hands roaming her body. He had come up behind her, pressing her back to his chest, as he let his hands wander up and down her body, rubbing and massaging certain spots with extra care.

Kagome let out a soft moan as he tweaked a nipple and nipped at her neck. Her head was resting back against his shoulder and she noticed he had propped up a leg between hers. She took in a shaky breath and turned to face him. She looked into his dark forest green eyes and asked the one question that she had been almost afraid to ask earlier. "Does this mean you find me compatable?"

His lip twitched once, twice, and he let loose a pearl of laughter. Kagome crossed her arms in a huff, not seeing what was so funny.

When Sly caught his breath again he was clutching his stomache and flicking a tear from his eye. "Darling, if I didn't find you 'compatable' I would not be here."

Kagome sighed, "Whats with all the 'Darling's? Before you were calling me 'little one'. And I thought you said that when a demon finds a campatable mate they try to claim them as soon as possible. It's been three days since I met you." At that Kagome stopped short. 'It's been only three days since I've met him and- and we're........OH MY GOD!' Kagome blushed deeply and looked down muttering to herself.

Sly chuckled again, "I was calling you little one before because I didn't think you would take too kindly to being called darling at the time. And would you have rather I had tried something like this when we had first met?" He raised an eyebrow and watched her blush grow. He sighed, "I know this is moving fast for you-"

His sentence was cut off by Kagome. She was looking him in the eyes, "But it's not fast for you. This is normal if not a little bit slow. I don't have that kind of sxith sense thingy. All I know is that I'm attracted to you and you have yet to try and kill me." She smiled, remembering how every person she had ever met in this time period had tried to kill her when they had first met her. Even Sango and Miroku had at first. But Sly had comforted her. She knew that she shouldn't trust him so soon and she definatly shouldn't be having any relations with him....But there was somethin pulling at her, telling her that he was everything she had ever wanted in a man. It had been easy to ignore at first because there was still Inuyasha in the back of her mind. But now, she wanted this with him so badly. She couldn't put it in to words how she felt so she trusted her thoughts to tell him for her. He smiled at her then.

It was slow and sweet, so different from their previous kisses. Thoes had been passionate, lustefull even. But this kiss shinned of love and devotion, promises echoed through it that she knew he would keep. And she tried her hardest to give everything back ten fold. Kagome sighed as he pulled her closer to him, his arms wrapped about her waist. She moved her arms to his neck and held on to him.

It was over all too soon and Kagome found herself missing it greatly. "Your wonderful." Sly breathed out shakily. "Perfect" He was nuzzling her neck, purring as he did so. Kagome just held him, stoking his ears with one hand, the other wrapped tightly around his shoulders.

A flash of white light went through her mind like lightning, causing her to jerk her head up from where it had been resting against his shoulder. She gasped as images ran through her mind like a movie. It was going so quickly! She could barely keep up! Then suddenly it stopped and she felt it tingle at the back of her mind. It was there, waiting. She closed her eyes and like hitting the play button on a remote it started. She saw a little boy playing in a garden. He was about nine or ten. The boy had cropped chesnut hair and forest green eyes. He looked up when he heard a shout and she suddenly realized who it was. He had a yellow starburst on his forhead. 'The symbol of the rising sun!' He was Dainichi, better known as Sly.

A woman shouted for him to come inside and he jumped up, running over to her. When he reached her he grinned and grabbed her hand and she led him inside. 'Wait. Is this his memory?' The picture suddenly froze as if paused and she opened her eyes to see Sly grining at her. She looked up at him confused and he explained.

"Come to think of it a demon and a miko have never been compatable before therefore have never mated before. I had no idea your miko powers would 'speed up the proccess' of things. It seems we have gained the others memory without mating. I only know of one couple this had happened to before. They were the most powerful demons to rule these lands. It is said that when they first mated they gained the others powers."

"Wow." Was the only thing Kagome could think to say. However her stomache had other ideas and rumbled loudly its protest at not being fed yet. Kagome blushed and averted her eyes.

Sly laughed a bit and picked her up, setting her on the edge of the bathing pool as he got out and got them some towles. "Come on, out with you." Kagome stood up and he wrapped the towel about her. He took her about the waist and before Kagome could react they were in her room.

Sly walked away from her to a door off to the side of her room. He was about to open it when she called out to him, "Where are you going?"

"To my rooms to get dressed," Sly grinned devilishly, "Unless you would rather I stay here with you undressed. I'm sure we could find quite a few things to do." Kagome blushed and waved him away as she went to her closet to find something to where. With a smirk Sly left the room, a gleam in his eyes, for he had personally picked out her attire for the evening.

"Well, at least I have a variety." Kagome remarked in sarcasim as she noticed the one dress hanging up in the closet. With closer inspection she noitced it to have quite a low neckline. "No doubt the work of that fox." She muttered to herself as she slipped it off the hanger. She set it down and grabbed up her towel, trying to dry her hair as best she could so it would not make her dress damp. When she was satisfied she set the towel back down and picked the dress back up.

It was made of a deep green silk that fitted to her chest and billowed out at the waist. It showed ample amount of clevage. The top layer of the dress was a dark chestnut color and was sheer. There were two straps of this material, that went over her shoulders, that held the dress up. It bunched around the top and was pinned around the waist so it hung in strips down the dress, letting just the right amount of green peek through at intervals. A shaw was attactched to the back that she could let hang and fall behind her in a train, or wrap about herself if it got cold. All in all the dress was quite beautiful and surprisingly modern. It hugged her figure in just the right places and yet flowed about her like water to give her a sense of grace. It was sexy with the skin it offered but left enough to the imagination to still be acceptable. Kagome loved it. She looked in the mirror and noticed how the colors brung out her deep brown eyes and added a bronze glow to her skin.

"Stunning. The color is perfect on you." Kagome looked up to see Sly in an outfit similare to the one he normally wore. He wore his black hikamas and forest green haori with a chestnut sash tied around his waist. The patern was the same he always wore, leaves winding about his form, however they were embroided in the same chetnut color as his sash instead of the black and green he normally had. The outfit brung out his natural tan and the color of his eyes and went well with his hair. He would blend into the forest perfectly.

When Kagome was finished staring she realized what he had said and blushed. "Shall we?" Sly held out his hand for her to take and Kagme nodded, a smile on her lips as they headed down to the dinning room. The others were, no doubt, waiting for them.

Authors Notes:

SO sorry it has taken me so long but I had the hardest time figuring out what to do next. AND I havent even had the internet for the longest time because I moved again. Its new years right now but god only knows when you'll read this. Also! Sorry its not a lemon yet but it didn't fit with my new idea for the story. I write what my keybored tells me too. Although my muse has a say in it as well. :P ANYWAYS! I hope this will hold you over until the next chapter but I'm also taking up one of my other stories that i havent finished yet too. Its been a while since i updated it so i thought i'd stop torturing everbody, its called Spirit of the Moon. Its a kagome/sesshoumaru fic. Its tied with this one as my favorite piece of writting that ive done. Beware the first chapter is a lemon but the story line is really cool. I havent read one like it yet. It has nine chapters so far although they are slightly shorter than the chapters of this story. so PLEASE read that one and let me know what you think!

I found quite a few people who agreed with my theory that foxes just seem like sensual creatures. Although I dont kow why but they do....hmmm....*shrugs* but hopefully this chapter explained a few things about that and the mating thingy and stuff.

I LOVE KAGOMES DRESS! I designed it yesterday (although im sure there is something similare to it out there somewhere) and thought it would be perfect for this story. I had actually made it with the purpose of finding a good prom dress but hey whatever works. *grins* Its a little hard to descripe so i hope i didn't blotch it up too much. I'll probably draw it one of these days, make a kagome doll with her wearing it or whatnot. but im gonna go before my authors notes becomes longer than my story! Jaa!
