Kagome Smells - If at First

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of InuYasha. I just like to play with the characters.

 

Kagome was on the point of panicking. There was irony in the fact that the same hentai who had designed her school uniform so that she flashed her bottom if she bent the wrong way had also designed the top so that it was practically impossible to show cleavage.

 

InuYasha would be inside Kaede's hut in a moment…and the only way she could show off was to bend over slightly and pull her fuku slightly forward and down…and even then she didn't show much.

 

She sighed. It would have to do for now, but she made a mental note to get some more revealing clothing the next time she went home.

 

Kagome was so lost in thought that she was startled when the mat covering the doorway was pulled back and InuYasha entered. As a result, she stood up quickly causing her fuku to slip back to its normal position. Only the slightest hint of the effect she was trying to obtain was visible.

 

“Oi, what do you want, Kagome?”

 

“I was thinking, InuYasha, that I need to go home.”

 

“What?”

 

“At least that had the normal effect,” thought Kagome.

 

“You just got back! And there are rumors of Naraku north of here. You can't go now!” Kagome was facing away from the hanyou and seemed to be struggling with her top. “What the hell is she doing?”

 

“It will only be for a day, InuYasha. I forgot to bring a few things.” Kagome turned around to face the hanyou. She was standing awkwardly, slightly hunched over.

 

“Oi, is there something wrong with your back?”

 

“Uhh, no, my back's okay.” Kagome straightened up and her top slipped back, covering her once again. “That was stupid.”

 

“What do you need to get, then?” InuYasha watched as the miko turned away and started fiddling with her outfit. When she turned around again, she was bending even deeper. “Doesn't she realize I can see right down her top?” The hanyou barely fought down a blush as he stepped forward, placed a hand on each of Kagome's shoulders and straightened her up.

 

Everything slid back into place…but Kagome didn't seem too happy about it. He turned away as quickly as he could without making the move suspicious. Kagome mustn't see him blushing.

 

“Feh. Well…go, then. I ain't stoppin' ya. But be back first thing in the morning or I'm coming to get you.”

 

“Umm, thank you, InuYasha. Actually, I should be back late this afternoon, if all goes well.” Kagome felt disappointed as she watched InuYasha leave Kaede's hut without looking back. She had detected a slight change in the hanyou's scent…very slight.

 

“Yup, I need some different clothes,” she thought.

 

 

******************

 

 

“Hi, Mama. I'm home!”

 

Mama Higurashi looked surprised. “Back so soon?”

 

“Got any plans for the day?”

 

“No, dear. Why?”

 

“We're going shopping.”

 

 

******************

 

 

To say Mama Higurashi was surprised would be an understatement. Kagome had already dragged her through three lingerie stores and was currently looking at a string bikini.

 

She was especially surprised at Kagome's…development…when she helped her try things on. Apparently life in the Feudal Era suited Kagome. The owner of the last lingerie store they had visited had even asked her daughter if she would consider modeling for their catalogue. Kagome had politely refused, yet Mama had to admit her daughter could easily be a top model.

 

But why this sudden interest in sexy clothing?

 

“Mama?”

 

Mama looked at the door of the dressing room and gasped as Kagome emerged in the string bikini. A moment later, she became concerned as her daughter leaned back against the doorframe, looking slightly dizzy. But Kagome recovered, did a little turn for her mother, and disappeared back into the dressing room to change back into her street clothes.

 

A couple of minutes later when Kagome walked out of the dressing room, Mama took her daughter's arm and whispered, “Kagome, we have to talk.”

 

 

******************

 

 

Mama Higurashi and Kagome sat across from each other at WacDonald's. Bags holding several items of “revealing” clothing, lingerie and a string bikini Mama wouldn't let Kagome wear anywhere men were around sat on the seat beside her daughter.

 

“Kagome? What's going on, dear?”

 

“You mean back at the store? Oh. When I came out, there were all these spicy scents hitting me at once and…”

 

“No, that's not what I was asking about.”

 

“I have to find out.” Mama was surprised at the sudden change in her daughter. Kagome had turned almost…manic. “I have to find out, Mama.”

 

Mama Higurashi reached across the table and took her daughter's arm. “Relax, dear. You have to find out what?” Mama noticed her daughter's eyes were beginning to fill with tears.

 

“It's InuYasha.”

 

Mama smiled. “I had already guessed that.”

 

“I…I heard InuYasha and Miroku talking while they were taking a bath.” Kagome burst into tears at the memory. “It's InuYasha, Mama. He's impotent!”

 

Mama and Kagome noticed that WacDonald's had suddenly gone silent. They glanced around to find everyone staring at them. Finally people began looking away and resuming their own conversations.

 

Mama continued to hold her daughter's arm, making it a point to speak in a low register. “And what makes you think he's…wait…did you say they were taking a bath?”

 

Kagome nodded.

 

“What, exactly, were you doing watching them bathe?”

 

Kagome blushed to her ear tips. “It wasn't like that, Mama. I wasn't spying. I was helping Sango watch Miroku bathe.”

 

Mama Higurashi looked at Kagome a little strangely. “Is this the daughter I raised to be a good girl?”

 

“It's a long story, Mama. Sango didn't believe me when I said I could smell her lusting after Miroku, so we…”

 

“Lusting?” Mama felt like her world was suddenly losing all meaning. “Of course. That makes sense.” She looked her daughter in the eye. “So you were helping your friend be a hentai…”

 

“No! I mean, yes. I mean…oh, I don't know what I mean!”

 

Mama patted her daughter's arm. “Just go on with your story.”

 

“That's when I heard it.”

 

Mama noticed Kagome was beginning to sob again. She squeezed her daughter's arm to reassure her.

 

“Miroku was offering to help InuYasha with his impotence!”

 

Mama sighed. WacDonald's had gone silent again. At least she was keeping her voice down. “And that's why we're buying all this?”

 

“I've got to find out if it's true, Mama. It's that walking claypot, Mama. He's always running to see her. Yet she's dead, Mama.”

 

Mama was worried. Kagome was getting that wild look in her eyes again.

 

Kagome was wailing again. “How would you feel about it if your boyfriend kept running off with a corpse?”

 

Silence. Again. Mama looked around WacDonald's. “We have to leave now, Kagome.”

 

 

******************

 

 

Mama Higurashi and Kagome sat facing each other over a cup of tea. The ride home had been uneventful, and silent, as if Kagome wasn't ready to talk again till she was within the comforting surroundings of her home.

 

“So, if I understand this, you're buying all this…”

 

Mama swept her arm over the pile of packages beside the table.

 

“…to test InuYasha?”

 

“I've got to find out how bad it is!”

 

“You think Kikyo has done this to him?”

 

Kagome sighed. “Maybe not on purpose, but she wouldn't be unhappy about it. It's not like he could have sex with her. He might as well stick himself into a hole in the ground!” Kagome clamped her hands over her mouth. “Sorry, Mama.”

 

“It's okay, dear.” Mama took a sip of her tea. “By the way, I don't know if you realize it, but you referred to InuYasha as your `boyfriend' when we were at WacDonald's.”

 

“I did?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Oh.”

 

“So you're going to use all this to `test' InuYasha.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“I suppose you'll use that sense of smell to tell if you've succeeded.”

 

“Yes, Mama.”

 

“And what will you do if he doesn't respond?”

 

Kagome looked determinedly at her mother. “I will do what I have to do, Mama.”

 

Mama looked at her daughter, but didn't say anything. “At least I raised a fighter.”

 

 

******************

 

 

“I'm telling you she was acting very strangely, bouzu.”

 

“Lady Kagome is from the future, InuYasha. Perhaps what you think is strange is normal for her,” answered the monk.

 

The two arrived at the well. There was no sign of the miko yet.

 

“I dunno. There was something different about her. There seemed to be something wrong with her back.”

 

“Her back?” answered Miroku. “What do you mean?”

 

“She kept turning away from me…and when she turned back, she'd be all kind o' hunched over.”

 

“Hunched over.”

 

“Yeah. And I don't think she knew it, but I could see down her top.”

 

“Really?” Miroku, although smiling, seemed lost in thought…that is, until the hanyou whacked him one over the head. “Oww!”

 

“I know what you're thinkin', bouzu, and Kagome ain't like that!”

 

Miroku rubbed the top of his head, silently thankful that Sango was busy helping Kaede with something. “While it is true that Lady Kagome is not `like that,' as you put it, we all know she `likes' you. Could it be that she was putting on a show…just for you?”

 

“Feh! I told you, she ain't like that!”

 

“Did you like what you saw?”

 

InuYasha looked to Miroku as if he was torn between ripping him apart and reliving the memory of what he had seen.

 

“You liked what you saw.”

 

“You'd better stuff…”

 

InuYasha stopped as a blue light came from the well and the scent of Kagome returned to his world.

 

“She's back.”

 

“I see that.”

 

InuYasha sniffed. There was something different about Kagome. She smelled …nervous. Yes, that was it. But why?

 

Kagome's voice came from the well as the miko climbed out. “InuYasha?” In truth, she knew he was there as she had already smelled his presence…but she had to keep the hanyou from getting suspicious of her and finding out about her youkai sense of smell.

 

“Oi. I'm here.”

 

“I'm coming up. Here's my bag.” Miroku took the yellow backpack as it was pushed up and over the side of the well. InuYasha then stepped up to the side of the well, ready to help Kagome out.

 

He leaned over the side of the well to reach for the miko. His eyes adjusted for the lower light level in the well.

 

There were the tops of two creamy white globes staring back at him from the region of Kagome's chest. The act of climbing up the inside of the well was revealing more of Kagome's `assets' than if she simply had been standing before him.

 

Time stood still for InuYasha.

 

Kagome found herself staring at a frozen hanyou. She was just pulling herself up over the edge of the well when the scent hit her. The next thing she felt was a sensation of falling and being surrounded by a familiar blue light. She settled gently to earth.

 

“Damnit,” she thought. “I'm on my side of the well again.”

 

On his side of the well, Miroku was gently slapping the swirly-eyed hanyou. “InuYasha! Wake up, InuYasha.” Miroku had seen the (delightful) view as well. He hadn't had as good a view as the hanyou, but it was still pretty good. For some reason, he had an urge to find the taijiya and…”

 

“Enough of that,” he thought as he slapped InuYasha again. The second time he slapped at the hanyou, a clawed hand caught his.

 

“That's enough, Miroku.” InuYasha shook his head. “What just happened?”

 

“You don't remember?”

 

“Keh.”

 

“You just froze. I think you were staring at Kagome's…”

 

“Monk…” InuYasha was, indeed, beginning to remember.

 

Miroku smirked. “Then Kagome looked like she fainted…and fell backwards.”

 

InuYasha looked down into the well. He didn't tell Miroku, but he could still smell the strong scent of his own reaction to Kagome. But why had she fainted? Or had she fainted? Had he dropped her back into the well? InuYasha was nervous. If he had dropped her, she might sit him till his back broke.

 

The hanyou sighed and jumped into the well. There was no helping it. He had to go get her and apologize.

 

 

******************

 

 

Kagome had just finished climbing out of the well. “At least I don't have to haul my backpack again,” she thought…and jumped in again.

 

As she jumped, she noticed the blue glow of someone coming through from the other side. “InuYasha!” she called out.

 

The hanyou looked up just in time to see Kagome descending towards him feet first.

 

Kagome realized that she was about to kick the poor hanyou in the face, so she instinctively did the only thing she could do…

 

She spread her legs.

 

Poor InuYasha looked up to see a triangle of lacy fabric descending rapidly towards him. He started to bring his arms up to catch the falling girl, but it was too late.

 

Her legs passed on each side of his head as his face was impacted by Kagome's…InuYasha passed out.

 

There was a blue glow as the force of the impact carried both of them through the time slip.

 

The next thing Kagome knew, she was back in the Feudal Era, sitting on something that was vaguely lumpy, yet appeared to be blowing hot air against her…

 

Kagome looked down at what she was sitting on and blushed. She heard a voice from above.

 

“Lady Kagome! Are you alright?”

 

“Yes, Miroku.”

 

“Do you require assistance?”

 

“I'm okay…but I think InuYasha's out cold.” Kagome suddenly realized she had made no attempt to move. She blushed even more profusely, stood and looked up out of the well where Miroku was looking down. “I can get out, but I think InuYasha's unconscious. You'd better get some help.”

 

“Right away.”

 

The monk left to seek assistance. As Kagome heard him depart, she thought, “How could I knock him out? Ten ton youkai can't knock him out, yet he's all swirly-eyed.”

 

Kagome checked the hanyou to make sure he was still out cold and wouldn't notice, and then took a sniff.

 

“Spicy,” she thought. “Not as strong as when I first came through, though. That just about knocked me out.” She looked at the hanyou. “Don't worry, InuYasha. I'll do whatever I must to cure you of your impotence. I want you to live and enjoy life, not sacrifice your…self…to your memory of Kikyo.”

 

The miko sat down and waited for help to arrive.

 

 

 

 

A/N: Well, that didn't go too well. But Kagome's a determined girl and won't rest till she “cures” InuYasha. How far will she go, and how will InuYasha respond?
