InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Good Enough to Eat... ❯ Coconut ( Chapter 5 )

Hello to all! Anxiously waiting on pins and needles, are we? Well, wait no longer, chapter five is here. Enjoy, my lovelies!

Coconut

 

The reveal of the shocking little incident with Sesshomaru had gone much the way Kagome had expected it to go. She had explained - red faced and stammering - that he had indeed been curious about her and that his intrigue had lead him to follow them until he'd gained some answers.

 

She'd hoped that they would not question her past that, but was sorely disappointed when Inuyasha demanded to know why she was in such scruffy disarray and the smell of his brother was clinging to her everywhere. So she prepared for the worst, said her prayers… and let them all have it.

 

The different responses had been expected. Sango - poor, sweet Sango - had gone redder than she, averting her eyes to her lap for a good long while until she'd regained enough composure to look up again. Miroku hadn't stopped smiling the whole way through, and she couldn't ever meet the pervert's eyes without receiving a sly grin and a wink in response. Shippou just sort of shrugged it off… and Inuyasha… he'd made an odd choking sound and had struggled to breath for a couple of tense seconds. Then, when he got his second wind, he opened his mouth and unleashed a stream of profanities to the likes of which Kagome had never heard. The verbal sewage was so shocking that even the hentai monk went wide eyed and blushed.

 

She'd practically had to throw herself on him to stop him from going after Sesshomaru. As uncalled for as the action had been, she didn't want a fight started over it. No harm done, after all; she was still in one piece… well, unless one counted her sanity. That was shattered into a million crazy bits and scattered across the countryside. It would take Kagome a bloody decade to piece that stupid thing back together again. In fact, that daunting task made collecting shards of the jewel seem like a cakewalk.

 

Finally, after much arguing and an irate 'sit', Kagome had convinced Inuyasha to leave it be. However, he'd finished off his little fit with the promise that 'if he ever caught Sesshomaru putting his perverted paws anywhere on Kagome, he'd shove Tetsusaiga so far up the daiyoukai's ass that the bastard would be able to taste metal'.

 

Many days had come and gone since that little curse-fest, and to everyone's relief, Sesshomaru appeared to have stopped following them. Kagome knew, however, that the demon Lord was not one to make idle promises. He'd claimed that he would be back for another 'taste', as it were, and Kagome had no doubt that he intended to hold true to his word. The only question was when?

 

The young miko didn't know, and it was driving her insane. The entire time he'd been absent she'd done nothing but think about when he would reappear, and what he planned on doing during their next encounter. On top of that… she could not, for the life of her, stop the blush that blossomed on her cheeks when she thought of the daiyoukai's non-kiss.

 

And she did think about it… all the time. It was impossible not to. The huge, ridiculously beautiful inu was probably the feature male of many women's - human and youkai alike - wet dreams. The memory of his iron grip on her waist, the way his size engulfed her, and the soft sensuousness of his mouth against hers made her brain begin to short circuit. For three grueling days she'd been forced to endure the torment of those memories.

 

Inuyasha had been giving her the stink eye the entire damn time, which made the whole thing a hundred times worse. Needless to say she was stressed out, and on one hot, clear day, she decided she needed some relaxing down time. She had the perfect plan for such an occasion… though she would need to go home to get a few things first.

 

They were currently taking a little break from travel and visiting Kaede in the village, so it had been no problem for her to hop through the well and retrieve said items. Now, noon and with the sun shining from directly overhead, it was the ideal time for the activity she wished to partake in.

 

Fanning out the large beach towel, Kagome took one last, precautionary look around and began stripping. She'd been itching to use the strappy, silver bikini since she'd bought it a year ago, but had never had the opportunity. Now, usually she was against this sort of thing, simply because it left her in a vulnerable position. However, in the clearing, next to the Bone Eater's well, there was a good chance she'd be able to slip through the time rift should any demon try to attack her. If not, there was always her trusty bow.

 

Adjusting the material of the top, Kagome grumbled to herself when she had little success concealing the amount of skin she wished to. When she'd tried this bathing suit on the year before, it had not been quite so snug. 'I'm gaining weight from slacking off. This lack of action has made me lazy.'

 

The bottoms too, didn't seem to cover as much cheek as they had before, and the result was a rather embarrassed miko in a swimsuit that looked about two sizes too small. 'Good gods I hope my thighs aren't getting fat too! A little junk in the trunk and some extra bounce for the girls isn't so bad… but if I start getting saddle bags…'

 

Grabbing the bottle of organic, virgin coconut oil from the little tote she'd filled with her tanning stuff, the blue-eyed priestess gave herself a quick rub down and tossed the bottle back into her bag.

 

'Now… time for some serious R and R,' she sighed happily as she knelt on the towel. Lowering herself onto her stomach and pulling her hair from her back, Kagome settled her head on her folded arms, closing her eyes and spreading out her senses to the surrounding area.

 

So far so good, and as long as she concentrated on the stillness of the large clearing she would have ample time to react before any youkai would be able to reach her. The sun was warm on her back, the light breeze that permeated the vast glade cool and refreshing. It was the perfect setting.

 

Suddenly a chilly tingle ran up her spine… and it wasn't the wind. Warning bells went off in the young miko's head as the immense aura flooded the clearing, crashing against her senses like a tsunami.

 

'No, not now!' she hissed, pushing herself up onto all fours and making an attempt for her clothing. Her time was cut short, however, when the large, terrifying power contracted and amassed near her feet.

 

She peered timidly over her shoulder at the tall, pristine demon Lord, not entirely certain what to do with herself at that point. She was likely presenting quite the scandalous picture at the moment, on all fours in her scanty silver bathing suit.

 

He seemed to be taking his sweet time assessing her, golden eyes shadowed by the thin fringe of his bangs. After a moment of silent scrutiny, he knelt behind her and leaned forward, his larger frame curving over her back.

 

"Wait!" she all but shouted at him.

 

He paused, quirking a brow at her urgent command.

 

A light blush rose on her cheeks, her composure seemingly gone as she stammered,

"Don't - uh… don't get your… don't let your clothing touch my skin. Th-there's tanning oil on it, and it'll probably ruin the silk."

 

He shot her a look that told her that was the farthest thing from his mind at the moment, and then continued on with what he was doing. Starting at the base of her spine, he trailed his nose upward, sniffing delicately as he went.

 

Kagome would have slapped herself on the forehead had she not been so utterly mortified at the moment. Of all the things to say to the demon… she'd come out with something like that? What was wrong with her? There was an enormous, overly curious daiyoukai crouching behind her kneeling, scantily clad form, and all she could think to do was warn him about getting his silks oily?

 

However, now was not the time to berate herself over her silly choice of words. There were other, more pressing things that needed her attention. She was unaware of where Sesshomaru was planning to go with this… and didn't really know how to respond. He would likely be insulted if shouted for him to get away, and the last thing she wanted was to offend him. She liked her head where it was, thank you very much! So, she remained perfectly still, wondering and hoping that all he wanted was to quell his curiosity over her newest scent.

 

His nose tickled the back of her neck, hot breath wafting over her shoulder as he snuffled with interest along her oil slicked skin. He reversed his course, travelling back down her body while following the curve of her spine.

 

Images of his hot tongue in her mouth and his teeth on her lips sent fissions of delight ricocheting along her nerves. She tensed further. Now was not the time to think of those things.

 

As though sensing her train of thought, Sesshomaru pulled back, and she nearly sighed a breath of relief. 'Thank the gods,' she muttered gratefully, glad that this encounter had been short.

 

It seemed, however, that she'd spoken too soon, as the big inu bent and nipped one partially bare cheek with a low rumble. Her mind came to a screeching halt, jaw clenching painfully as she gave a jolt at the feel of his sharp fangs on the delicate flesh of her rear end.

 

There was the barest touch of something warm and wet along the curve of her backside before-

 

"Kagome!"

 

Inuyasha's sudden entrance loosed a growl from her youkai visitor, and the big dai slowly righted himself to glare balefully at his younger sibling. "You have the most inopportune timing, half-breed."

 

Said hanyou, eye twitching and chest heaving, jerked his sword threateningly in Sesshomaru's direction, snapping sharply, "From what I saw just now, I'd say I was right on fuckin' time!"

 

Kagome just remained on all fours and gaped up at the arguing pair, her frazzled nerves now short circuiting as her brain absorbed the fact that the Western Lord's tongue had - only seconds ago - been on her ass cheek!

 

The large male sniffed dismissively and turned his back to them, beginning an unhurried gait toward the edge of the clearing. "I have no time for this."

 

He paused after about ten steps or so, turning to look back at the slack-jawed woman who was still on all fours. Gold eyes sharpened with determination, and he lifted his chin haughtily as he called back to her, "This one shall return to fulfill his promise, miko. Be assured of that."

 

The stunned priestess blushed a deeper shade of rose, and had she not already been on her knees, they would have given out on her.

 

With a liquid flutter of hair, Sesshomaru turned and drifted slowly from the glade.

 

Inuyasha's cursing could be heard for miles around…

 

……………

 

Gasp! A bite on the bum cheek! I would die of a heart attack. I would just keel over right there. Ah well, at least I would die with a smile on my face. Ladies, am I right?

 

Thank you everyone for your enthusiastic responses to my story. So glad you're enjoying it. I was debating whether or not to do a sequel to this little collection… but after seeing just how much everyone adores it, I guess my mind's made up.

 

I think everyone knows the drill by this point… :P
