Relieved to finally wash the sweat and dust from her body, Kagome was also grateful that the river wasn’t too chilly that time of year, the water cool but manageable as she dunked her head to soak her midnight tresses before reaching for the shampoo bottle on the rock before her. Halfway through working up a nice lather, she felt it, the telltale tingle against her miko senses that alerted her to the presence of a demonic aura. But she wasn’t worried; she knew this aura well.

When Inuyasha had first started watching her bathe, she couldn’t be sure, but she remembered the first time she’d sensed him. At first, Kagome had tried to convince herself that he was merely looking out for her safety, that he wasn’t peeping, but was merely keeping himself within range in case danger struck. It made sense, especially considering how dangerous it could get while out on the road searching for shards. That hypothesis had been blown to hell, though, the first time she’d sensed him from within the border of the forest behind her, just like now; the forest that bore his name. There were no threats in the area.

Outwardly ignoring her audience, Kagome continued to wash her hair before then reaching for her loofah and body wash. Sometimes she wondered if something was wrong with her, allowing him to look like she always did, allowing him to think she didn’t know he was there. Kagome knew it would be different if she didn’t feel for him the way that she did, but given her feelings, how deeply she loved the hanyou currently spying on her from his favorite hiding place, instead of feeling exposed or used, she felt appreciated. Desired, even. She knew Inuyasha loved her, anyone with eyes could tell that much. But she also understood how complicated things between them really were. It wouldn’t be right for her to make the first move when he still had obligations to her preincarnation, though that wasn’t to say she would ever turn him down were he the one to approach her regarding their feelings. But for his sake, it had to be his decision.

Turning sideways to grant her secret admirer a profile view of her body, a secret smirk played in her mind, just below the surface, lest she risk him being able to make out her expression from that distance. Just because she wouldn’t approach him while the Kikyou issue remained unresolved, that didn’t mean she couldn’t have a little fun. Running her loofah across her body in a seemingly innocent manner, her movements were anything but when she found she could almost feel the heat of his gaze warming her own blood. Knowing that his hidden eyes were glued to her every move, Kagome put extra force into arching her back as she washed the suds from her hair, her nipples hardening from a combination of cold and excitement.

Whenever you’re ready, Inuyasha, I’ll be there for you.
