Ok, update time.
Strangely enough, this is now, I think, my longest chapter, and it's not even a lemon. And it was surprisingly easy writing this chapter also, things just seemed to fit naturally. It's nice when that happens, everything falling into place.
Also, the title for this chapter is a movie title from 1971 with a much younger Jack Nicholson. What a guy. I guess you guys have also noticed how I use titles, or variations of titles, of movies (and maybe songs sometime later) for my own chapters, that have to do with my story. It's not as easy as you'd think... but it's still fun.
Anyway, hope you enjoy as more events unfold.
Carnal Knowledge
“Bokusenou.”
Deep inside the old remote forest, the ancient magnolia tree still stood tall, remaining perfectly motionless against the calm breeze.
“Bokusenou,” Sesshomaru called again, louder this time. Out from the center of the tree popped a human-like face, which slowly opened its eyes and yawned widely.
“You again, Sesshomaru?” the 2000 year old tree said in a deep booming voice. “What is it that you want this time? On your last visit, you asked me to explain to you the connection between the Tessaiga, the sword forged from your father's fang, and InuYasha's youkai blood. So what do you want with me now?”
“I have come for another reason,” replied Sesshomaru, looking at the tree's face.
“Well, what is it?”
“There is a strange disturbance among various youkai hordes. All over, something is causing them to leave their lairs more often and attack more aggressively. Do you know the cause of this Bokusenou?”
The tree hummed, nodding.
“Sesshomaru,” he began slowly, “You have a near perfect sense of smell with that nose of yours, do you not? Have you not been able to smell that which has been drifting through the wind as of late?”
Sesshomaru tilted his head up slightly, as if he were sniffing the air.
“There has been a change in the wind,” he answered. “I have sensed a change around the village where my hanyou brother and his pack currently reside. A heated scent, something full of life. It seems familiar to me, but I cannot put my finger on it.”
Bokusenou chuckled deeply.
“Sesshomaru,” he laughed chidingly, “if you cannot identify the new scent, you ought to be ashamed of yourself as a dog youkai.”
“What are you talking about?” Sesshomaru asked, narrowing his eyes.
“I know that the time is generally different for each dog youkai, but that doesn't mean you can't recognize what it is. Don't you see? It is simply the first time in his life that InuYasha has the uncontrollable need to find, and claim, a mate. It would also appear that this scent is powerful enough to affect many other youkai, causing them to become restless, driving them to attack at times they normally would not.”
Although surprised at this information, Sesshomaru didn't blink an eyelid.
“InuYasha…a mate?” he echoed back to the tree.
“Yes, a mate. You shouldn't be surprised.” Bokusenou chuckled again knowingly. “I am sure that there have been numerous female youkai who you yourself have claimed as your own.”
The images of his many companions flashed through Sesshomaru's mind. “Of course.”
“And that is what has been troubling your brother,” Bokuesenou said. “Is something wrong?” he added, seeing Sesshomaru look as though he were trying to figure something out.
“No, it is simply that InuYasha's scent while in heat seems to be different from his others I have sensed in the past.”
“Do not forget, Sesshomaru,” the tree explained, “your brother's animal instincts are only heightened by those of his human side. Both dog youkai and humans are creatures of lust and passion. InuYasha has the blood of both running through his veins. I imagine he has been losing control of his youkai blood lately, since he must satisfy both his inner youkai as well as his mortal desires. And until he does this, the youkai around the land will continue to act outside of their nature.”
Sesshomaru nodded, taking in this new information. “Humans are creatures of lust, you say?”
“Yes, that is correct, why?”
Sesshomaru looked back at the tree's face. “There have been other similar, lustful scents I detected emanating from others around InuYasha. And I know that my brother usually keeps company with three other mortals. Two females and another male, a monk. Except I have not detected this monk's scent near the others for a while now, so I can only assume their group has been lessened by one.”
“What that probably means,” said Bokusenou, a small grin creaking and cracking onto his wooden features, “that the females around him are coincidentally in heat at the same time as your brother. And,” he added, “if the monk is no longer with them, as you say, who knows what InuYasha's instincts will make him do?”
Sesshomaru considered this, before remembering something. “Isn't Tessaiga able to suppress InuYasha's inner youkai?”
The tree's booming laughter echoed through the woods.
“Hah, Sesshomaru! The Tessaiga suppresses his youkai blood when it desires the senseless slaughter of every living thing near him. But it is useless when what the inner youkai desires is part of a natural process of all beings. I suspect that if InuYasha is any sort of dog youkai, he will have many `bitches,' as you call them, prepared and willing to take him as much as they can into their young, supple bodies.”
“……”
After a few moments of silence, Sesshomaru turned and walked away, leaving Bokusenou as the tree's face slid back inside the bark.
What a perverted old tree…

“InuYasha! InuYasha!! INUYASHA!!!!”
“WHAT, already?!” the hanyou yelled at Shippo as the little kitsune ran over to him and hopped up onto the fence he was sitting on.
“InuYasha, where did Kagome go?” Shippo asked.
“She went back home again,” InuYasha replied. “Something about having to take another of her stupid…eggs-ham-unations…” he struggled with the foreign word.
“Don't you mean `examinations?'” Shippo asked, his voice laced with sarcasm.
THWACK
“Oww!” Shippo cried out, rubbing at the new bruise on his head.
“Don't mock your elders,” the hanyou said, unballing his fist.
“So, when are you gonna go and get her?”
“Keh, when I feel like it, that's when! If she loves her precious school so much, she can stay there.”
“InuYasha, you always say that,” Shippo said, “but you always get worried when she doesn't come back after even one day.”
“I do not!”
“Yes you do!”
InuYasha turned and made a fist again, sending Shippo leaping off the fence and darting away.
“You'll be worried about her soon enough!” he called out as he fled.
“Feh…” InuYasha put his chin in his hand and closed his eyes, resting from an earlier battle with a horde of youkai outside the village. It was unlike them to attack en masse, especially at the village. Oh well, he thought, at least they were easy enough to kill. After a few minutes, the hanyou heard another voice.
“InuYasha?”
He opened his eyes to see Sango walking towards him. She wasn't wearing her normal attire, but instead was dressed in a light green kimono, a design of sakura leaves woven throughout. InuYasha heard his inner youkai begin to act up again as she approached, but he couldn't make out the words through the growling.
“What is it Sango?”
“Did Kagome go back to her own time again?”
“Yeah,” he said, looking at her. “She said she'd be back later today, or maybe tomorrow.”
“Oh.” Sango brushed her hand through her hair. “Ok, thank you,” she finished and began to walk away from the fence.” But something had caught the hanyou's attention.
“Hey Sango,” he said. She turned around to see him leaning forward, sniffing the air. “Have you been rolling around in flowers or something?”
“What on earth are you talking about?” she responded, confused.
“Your scent has changed a bit. It's still your scent, but it's like something's been added to it. And it's something familiar…” he said as he continued to sniff. Sango's body became rigid.
Does he…does he smell Kagome on me? she wondered, putting her hand to her chest at the thought of having mixed scents with her old friend, and new lover.
“It's so familiar…” he went on. “Wait a sec…I got it, you smell like Kagome!” he said, jumping down from the fence to face Sango. “Why is her scent on you?”
“Well, I don't know,” Sango said, trying to keep from stuttering. She knew that would give InuYasha a clue that she was lying. “I guess me and her have just been hanging around a lot together lately.”
“Yeah…yeah, that must be it I guess,” InuYasha shrugged and settled himself back on the fence. “See you later Sango.”
“Goodbye,” she answered and began to walk away, but stopped suddenly, as if she had remembered something.
“InuYasha…”
“Yeah, what now?”
Sango turned to face him, looking him dead in the eye.
“What is Kagome to you?”
InuYasha was caught off guard by that question and swallowed. He remembered Kikyo having once asked him that same question.
Kikyo…
He closed his eyes and remembered. It had been some time since Kikyo's soul had finally found peace. InuYasha knew that even now, and for the rest of his life, she would be watching over him, helping him to move on, wanting him to find happiness. He was certain of that. Even if it meant finding that happiness with someone else, someone like…
Kagome.
“What I mean is,” Sango reiterated, “do you have any…you know, feelings for her?”
InuYasha opened his eyes and sighed as a serious expression formed on his face.
“I…I don't know…”
“Are you sure?' Sango asked, not convinced. “I know that at the least she is a dear friend to you. But is that all she is? A friend?” As she asked that, she also thought to herself,
Even though that's probably all I am to you, too…
InuYasha turned his head to the side. “I can't explain it, ok? I don't even like talking about it… When I'm with her, something feels different.”
“Different? How so?”
The hanyou stared off into the distance. “It's like…even though I never had a real home, when Kagome's here…”
He trailed off, but Sango nodded. He didn't need to say it. She understood.
“Well, InuYasha,” she began, “I really think you should do something about it, if you feel that way. I know that if I suspected a guy like you had feelings for me, I'd want you, I mean him…to show me those feelings, and not hold anything back.”
“Wait, what do you mean a guy like me?” he asked. That was a strange thing to say, he thought.
Sango didn't answer, but instead turned her back to him.
“Don't be afraid,” she told him, before she walked away. InuYasha stared, wondering what she had been trying to say just then, when she called back to him.
“Oh, and InuYasha. Kagome…she's not the only one who wants you to be…happy…” she said the last word so softly that InuYasha had to lean forward to hear it.
“Not the only one…? Does she mean…herself too? I must be hearing things.” InuYasha got up off the fence and started to walk.
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------
Kagome sighed as she flopped down lazily on her bed.
“Ahhh! It's so nice to be back again and get to sleep on something soft!” she exclaimed, hugging the pillow and closing her eyes, trying to get some much needed rest. Even though her family was away for the night, she was still glad to be home.
I wonder what InuYasha and Sango and Shippo did today, she thought to herself.
Sango…
She blushed as she said her lover's name in her mind, conjuring up images of their lovemaking earlier that morning. Kagome remembered watching sadly as Sango had dried off and gotten dressed. Although she did love the new kimono that the slayer had decided to wear for the day. Kagome sighed again, feeling sleep begin to wash over her.
You might be the one he needs to…get better.
Those had been Sango's words to her. Could she have meant what Kagome thought she meant? Was Sango possibly going to try to get her and InuYasha together? Kagome had made love to a woman; her first full sexual experience had been with a woman. But…that had just made her feelings, her desire, for InuYasha increase. She wondered what she was going to do about those feelings until sleep claimed her. Soon, dreams drifted into Kagome's mind. Scenes of her and Sango earlier that day, and making love to the slayer many times more. Images of InuYasha, standing there before her, his clothes slowly being removed by some invisible hand, revealing what she imagined must be a magnificently sculpted chest and abs. Even dreams of her, Sango, and InuYasha wantonly grinding flesh against flesh, moaning and screaming into the night sky…even dreams like these came to her. And, in her dreams, Kagome found her clothes dampening, but it was neither from sweat nor rain. But despite all of these dreams, her sleep was peaceful, her breathing calm and steady…
CRASH
Kagome sat up with a start, looking towards the window. The sound had come from outside. Sliding out of bed, Kagome felt her pulse racing from fear and…anticipation? She shook her head to focus and grabbed a letter opener she had on her desk. Slowly, she inched over to the window and threw it open, looking outside to find the source of the crash.
“Oh!”
She was completely unprepared for what she saw.
To be continued…
-----------------------
Next time:
What is the sight that greets Kagome's eyes as she peers out of her window? Also, what will Sesshomaru do now that Bokusenou has told him the cause of the recent youkai activity? InuYasha needs to get his own inner youkai under control before things get out of hand. Stay tuned.
My note: Hm, wonder what's gonna happen next. Nxt update will probably take as long as this one did, maybe a tad longer. Hope you look forward to the next chapter. See you soon.
